Exhibit 99.1
Nobilis Health Corp. Announces Voluntary Delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange
HOUSTON, TX (Marketwired December 15, 2016) - Nobilis Health Corp. (NYSE MKT: HLTH) (TSX: NHC) (Nobilis or the Company) today announced that the common shares in the capital of the Company (the Shares) will be voluntarily delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) at the close of markets on December 30, 2016 pursuant to the Companys application for voluntary delisting and the satisfaction of the conditions to delist from the TSX. The delisting from the TSX will not affect the Companys listing on the NYSE MKT.
Dr. Donald Kramer, Chairman of the Board, stated After careful consideration, the Directors of the Company no longer justify the expenses and administrative efforts, among other factors, associated with maintaining a dual listing. Delisting from the TSX will create a central marketplace for Nobilis shares and we believe that harmonizing our US-based operational focus with a single US-based trading platform will enhance the Companys long term liquidity, analyst coverage and access to U.S. financing. We believe this is a prudent move for shareholders.
After delisting from the TSX, the Companys common shares will continue to trade on NYSE MKT under the symbol HLTH. Canadian shareholders will be able to continue to trade their shares on the NYSE MKT through their brokers who have U.S. registered broker-dealer affiliates.
