January 10, 2025 at 08:00 AM EST

WEST PALM BEACH, FL - January 10, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Ethema Health Corporation’s (OTCPINK: GRST) (“Ethema” “GRST” or the “Company”), newly incorporated subsidiary, ARIA Kentucky, LLC (“ARIA Kentucky”) completed the asset purchase agreement with Edgewater Recovery Center LLC (“Edgewater”) yesterday. The Deal was previously announced in October, 2024. The purchase price for the assets was $250,000.00 and included all of the cash, accounts receivable, vehicles, furniture and equipment valued at approximately 3,000,000 and assumed liabilities including bank debt, federal government debt and trade payables of approximately 6,000,000. Ethema has been managing Edgewater since July 15, 2024 when its revenues were approximately $560,000 per month and increased revenue to approximately $830,000 in the month of December 2024. The Company expects to increase monthly revenue in Kentucky by another 65% in the coming year by filling capacity in the existing facilities currently licensed and usable. The assets in Kentucky have been rebranded under the ARIA name.

The Company recorded management fees for managing the Kentucky business in 2024 but will not report revenue for the business until the first quarter of 2025. Similarly, the Company’s newly licensed operations in Boca Raton Florida did not receive approval to be added to existing Company payor contracts until January of 2025 and therefore will also not report any revenue until 2025. Based on the prior year revenues in both Kentucky and West Palm Beach, Florida and the addition of the new beds in Boca Raton, Florida, the revenue target for all facilities in the Company for all of 2025 is $25,000,000.00.

The Company CEO, separately purchased a package of real estate from the owner of the Edgewater business and this real estate is used by the Kentucky operation and will be leased to ARIA Kentucky on similar terms to those that Edgewater had been paying previously and which have been appraised as fair market value. These leases will be reported as related party transactions in the coming reporting periods. In addition to the leases the Company CEO pledged the properties and provided a personal guarantee for $3,000,000.00 of the bank debt assumed by ARIA Kentucky.

Mr. Shawn Leon, Company CEO reported, “We are very excited to have substantially increased the size of the Company with this acquisition and look forward to great results in 2025. We managed to take a fairly complicated situation with Edgewater and worked out solutions for all those that were involved. We believe that we ended up with a structure that will ensure success for all parties involved and most importantly, allow the incredible team of devoted staff members to continue to provide much needed services to Kentuckians suffering from substance use disorder. We are extremely proud to be working for the People of Kentucky and look forward to long lasting collaborations with the State of Kentucky, the Department of Medicaid and other state agencies requiring the services we provide.”
