Assure Reminds Stockholders To Vote For The Proposed Increase in Authorized Shares

— Of the Votes Received to Date, More than 95% Are Voting in Favor of the Increase
— More Votes Are Needed to Reach 50% of the Outstanding Shares Required for the Increase
— Every Vote Is Important to Avoid Delay in Completion of the Increase

DENVER, May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Assure Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Assure”) (NASDAQ: IONM), a provider of intraoperative neuromonitoring (“IONM”) and remote neurology services, would like to thank its stockholders for their support of Proposal 1 – To approve the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, to increase the number of authorized shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”) in the Company’s common shares from 9,000,000 to 250,000,000, and remind those stockholders that have not yet voted to vote without delay “FOR” Proposal 1 and the other proposals in the Company’s proxy statement for the special meeting of its stockholders to be held on May 14, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

“The overwhelming majority of Assure stockholders who have submitted their votes have voted in favor of Proposal 1. However, more votes are needed to meet the required threshold for the proposal to pass,” stated John Farlinger, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Assure.

“Assure has thousands of stockholders and many of them hold relatively small positions. For the proposals to pass, it is necessary also for stockholders with smaller positions to submit their votes in favor of the proposals. Larger stockholders cannot carry this forward alone,” continued Mr. Farlinger. “I encourage everyone who owned Assure shares on April 11th, the record date for this meeting, to exercise their right to vote and help make this critical increase in capital a reality.”

Assure stockholders should note that the authorized shares proposal (Proposal 1) must be approved by greater than 50% of the shareholders for the proposal to pass. Failure to vote or an abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the increase proposal. All stockholders are asked to vote “FOR” all proposals now. If you previously voted against any of these proposals and would now like to change your vote, you can do so by contacting Assure’s proxy solicitor.

THE INCREASE IN CAPITAL CANNOT BE OBTAINED UNLESS
THE PROPOSAL IS APPROVED.
