Message: Tenet Amends Terms of Brokered Private Placement

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 24, 2023) - Tenet Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTC Pink: PKKFF) ("Tenet" or the "Company"), an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) service provider and operator of the Business Hub, today announces that, further to its press release, dated March 16, 2023, and after discussions with capital markets professionals, it has agreed to amend certain terms to its previously announced brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Brokered Private Placement") led by Research Capital Corporation, as the sole agent and sole bookrunner (the "Agent"). The Brokered Private Placement shall now consist of an offering of a minimum of 5,000 units and a maximum of 25,000 units of non-secured convertible debentures units (the "Convertible Debenture Units") at a price of $1,000 for each Convertible Debenture Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $5,000,000 and a maximum of $25,000,000.

Each Convertible Debenture Unit will be comprised of: (i) one 10.0% non-secured convertible debenture of the Company in the principal amount of $1,000 (a "Convertible Debenture") and (ii) 1,408 warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"). The Convertible Debentures will mature twenty-four (24) months from the date of their issuance (the "Maturity Date") and, subject to prior conversion in accordance with their terms, will be repaid in cash at the Maturity Date. Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $1.00 per Warrant Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the Brokered Private Placement.

From the date of issue until their Maturity Date, Convertible Debenture holders may elect to convert, in whole or in part, the face value of the Convertible Debentures into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lower of: (i) $0.71 per Common Share; or (ii) the price per unit or per Common Share sold by Tenet in the course of any financing that takes place prior to the date on which the Convertible Debentures are so converted, at any time prior to the Maturity date of the Convertible Debentures. Upon the conversion of the Convertible Debentures, the Company will pay to the investor the interest accrued on the Convertible Debentures for the amount converted up to but excluding the date of conversion in cash.

The Convertible Debentures shall bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum from the date of issue, payable quarterly in arrears in cash. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

All other terms and conditions of the Brokered Private Placement remained unchanged.

The Brokered Private Placement is scheduled to close in tranches between the date of this announcement and May 12, 2023, or such other date as agreed upon between the Company and the Agent (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Convertible Debenture Units and the securities underlying the Convertible Debenture Units to be issued under the Brokered Private Placement will have a hold period of four months and one day from each applicable Closing Date.

Amendment to Conversion Terms of Recently Closed Non-Secured Convertible Debenture Private Placement

Tenet also announced that the Company has amended the conversion terms of its private placement of non-secured convertible debentures closed in January 2023 (the "January Placement") to mirror the conversion terms of Brokered Private Placement. Subscribers of the January Placement can now elect to convert, in whole or in part, the face value of their debentures into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lower of: (i) $0.71 per Common Share or the price per unit or per Common Share sold by Tenet in the course of any financing that takes place prior to the date on which they convert their debentures.
