Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 8, 2023) - Tenet Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTC Pink: PKKFF) ("Tenet" or the "Company"), an innovative fintech technology services provider and operator of the Cubeler™ Business Hub, announces today that Carol Penhale, the Company's Chair, has been appointed Interim CEO, while the Board remains committed in its on-going focus on securing financing for the Company.

Ms. Penhale has significant business experience, and a background in technology and data transformation initiatives in strategic consulting and interim C-level management roles. Her experience crosses many layers of financial services globally, including strategic planning, operations recalibration, systems development, program management, business development and customer experience handling enhancements. She has B.A. from the University of Toronto, a certificate from the University of Edinburgh and has a degree in programming and systems analysis from The Institute for Computer Studies.
The independent board members of the Company continue to have active discussions with various firms to assist the Company with its financing efforts. These firms recognize Tenet's efforts to streamline operations to reduce the Company's costs and the market opportunity that is available to Tenet.
"The Board is dedicated to ensuring that the Company improves its operational focus and financial position and looks forward to discussing the Company's plans as soon as possible," stated Carol Penhale, Chair of Tenet. "I am exceptionally pleased to be able to help support Tenet as Interim CEO and look forward to leading the Company in its on-going focus on securing financing."
