Mind Cure Comments on Recent Promotional Activity

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Mind Cure Health Inc. ("Mind Cure" or the "Company") (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) has been asked by OTC Markets Group Inc. ("OTC Markets") to comment on recent promotional activity concerning its common shares traded on the OTCQB.

On February 11, 2021, OTC Markets sent the Company copies of two articles (the "Articles") purportedly distributed by National Inflation Association ("NIA"). The Company was not aware of the Articles until the OTC Markets sent a copy of them to the Company on February 11, 2021.

The Company does not believe the promotional activities were a factor in the recent increase in trading volume in the Company's common shares on the OTCQB which occurred beginning on or about February 10, 2021. Instead, the Company attributes the increase to the announcement on February 10, 2021 that the Company closed a C$23 million bought deal offering (the "Offering"). The information contained in one of the Articles relates to the Offering as disclosed in the February 10, 2021 news release and previous news releases.

The Company was not involved in the creation of the Articles, however the Company has a current engagement with Sandstone Media Inc ("Sandstone"), as previously announced, who has engaged NIA on the terms disclosed in the Articles. Under the current agreement with Sandstone, it may at any time publish materials it creates. The Company has further engaged Sandstone under the terms of a new agreement for a 6 month term commencing on February 15, 2021 and the Company has agreed to pay Sandstone a total of US$1,960,632 to provide a broad range of product and brand awareness, marketing and media services, which may include investor relation services, during the term, subject to partial reimbursement in the event of early termination. Under the terms of the new agreement with Sandstone, materials are required to be approved by the Company prior to dissemination. The Company does not believe that statements in the Articles are false or misleading.

After an inquiry by management, the Company's officers, directors, controlling shareholders (defined as shareholders owning ten percent or more of the Company's securities) and third-party service providers engaged by the Company to provide investor relations services, public relations services or marketing, have not sold or purchased securities of the Company in the past ninety days, save and except for Kelly Ramsden, the CEO, president and director purchased 333,333 units at C$0.45 in a private placement on November 19, 2020, that included one common share and a full warrant exercisable at C$0.60 and Dr. Ryan Hartwell sold 10,000 shares at $0.85 on December 10, 2020 (although Mr. Hartwell's appointment was announced November 10, 2020 he did not officially commence his role as chief science officer until January 29, 2021).

In the last twelve months, the Company has engaged the following parties to provide investor relations services, public relations services, marketing or other related services: Sandstone Media, Inc., CIFC Capital Corp. dba Psychedlic Finance, Jack Taylor Corporation, RAllen Digital LLC and Oak Hill Financial Inc.

The Company has not issued any convertible instruments or securities allowing conversion to equity securities at prices constituting a discount to the current market price at the time of issuance save and except that on November 19, 2020 the Company closed a private placement at which units were issued at a price of C$0.45 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one warrant. Each warrant had an exercise price of C$.60 and is exercisable until November 19, 2022. The closing market price on the trading day prior to closing of the offering was C$0.54.
