TORONTO, Feb. 23,
2024 /CNW/ - Greenbrook TMS Inc. (NASDAQ: GBNH)
("Greenbrook" or the "Company") today announced
receipt of the final delisting notice from the Listing
Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
("Nasdaq") due to the continued failure to satisfy either
the $1.00 minimum bid price listing
requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) or the minimum
stockholders' equity requirements in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b).
Nasdaq has notified the Company that trading of its common shares
(the "Common Shares") will be suspended as of the open of
trading on February 26, 2024. After
careful consideration, the Company determined that it was in the
overall best interests of the Company not to appeal the
decision.
The Company intends to quote the Common Shares on OTC Markets as
soon as practicable following the suspension of its Common Shares
on Nasdaq.
Nasdaq has informed the Company that it will file a Form 25-NSE
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"), which will remove the Company's Common Shares from
listing on Nasdaq and registration under Section 12(b) of the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Company's business, financial position, results of operations,
business strategy, growth plans and strategies, technological
development and implementation, budgets, operations, financial

Particularly, information regarding anticipated listings may be

represent management's expectations, estimates and projections
regarding future events or circumstances.
Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of
opinions, assumptions and estimates that, while considered
reasonable by the Company as of the date of this press release, are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and
other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity,
performance or achievements or future events or developments to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
macroeconomic factors such as inflation and recessionary
conditions, substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern due to recurring losses from
operations; inability to increase cash flow and/or raise sufficient
capital to support the Company's operating activities and fund its
cash obligations, repay indebtedness and satisfy the Company's
working capital needs and debt obligations; prolonged decline in
the price of the Common Shares reducing the Company's ability to
raise capital; inability to satisfy debt covenants under the
Company's credit facility with affiliates of Madryn Asset
Management, LP (the "Credit Facility") and the potential
acceleration of indebtedness; risks related to the resolution of
the Company's ongoing litigation with Benjamin Klein and compliance with the terms of
their settlement agreement; risks related to the ability to
continue to negotiate amendments to the Credit Facility to prevent
a default; risks relating to the Company's ability to deliver and
execute on the previously-announced restructuring plan (the
"Restructuring Plan") and the possible failure to complete
the Restructuring Plan on terms acceptable to the Company or its
suppliers (including Neuronetics, Inc.), or at all; risks relating
to maintaining an active, liquid and orderly trading market for
Common Shares as a result of the Company's forthcoming delisting
from Nasdaq; risks relating to the Company's ability to realize
expected cost-savings and other anticipated benefits from the
Restructuring Plan; risks related to the Company's negative cash
flows, liquidity and its ability to secure additional financing;
increases in indebtedness levels causing a reduction in financial
flexibility; inability to achieve or sustain profitability in the
future; inability to secure additional financing to fund losses
from operations and satisfy the Company's debt obligations; risks
relating to strategic alternatives, including restructuring or
refinancing of the Company's debt, seeking additional debt or
equity capital, reducing or delaying the Company's business
activities and strategic initiatives, or selling assets, other
strategic transactions and/or other measures, including obtaining
bankruptcy protection, and the terms, value and timing of any
transaction resulting from that process; claims made by or against
the Company, which may be resolved unfavorably to us; risks
relating to the Company's dependence on Neuronetics, Inc. as its
exclusive supplier of TMS devices. Additional risks and
uncertainties are discussed in the Company's materials filed with
the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the SEC from
time to time, available at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov,
respectively. These factors are not intended to represent a
complete list of the factors that could affect the Company;
however, these factors should be considered carefully. There can be
no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be
correct. The forward-looking statements contained in this press
release are made as of the date of this press release, and the
Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter
statements containing any forward-looking information, or the
factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new
