TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 09/02/11 — Healthscreen Solutions Inc. (“Healthscreen”) (TSX VENTURE: MDU), announces that it has waived the notice period under the Demand for Payment that was announced August 19, 2011, wherein 2293035 Ontario Limited, (“229”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the QHR Technologies Inc. (“QHR”) issued a Demand Notice to Healthscreen pursuant to the debentures under which Healthscreen is indebted to 229, and that as of this morning the court has appointed a receiver to manage the transition and transfer of Healthscreen-s assets. QHR has stated it will make an offer for the software assets.
Waiving the notice period accelerates the process of Healthscreen divesting its software and service operations through a court appointed receiver, minimizing the impact on the Healthscreen customer base. Healthscreen will work closely with the receiver to ensure that successful purchasers of both operational units are found and that the transition does not impact day-to-day doctor office productivity.
Stewart Davis resigned effective September 1, 2011 as C.E.O., President and Director. Bruce Rosenberg resigned effective September 1, 2011 as Chief Medical Officer and Director. Both Mr. Davis and Mr. Rosenberg will continue to assist the Receiver and the successful purchasers.
