TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2026 / Water Ways Technologies Inc. (TSXV:WWT) ("Water Ways" or the "Company") announces the appointment of Ms. Mor Boaz to its board of directors (the "Board"), effective June 12, 2026. Ms. Boaz's appointment remains subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
Ms. Boaz has been Chief Operating Officer at Exiteam Capital Partners Ltd., an Israeli venture capital and advisory firm, since 2020. In her role, she is responsible for day-to-day financial management, human resources, payroll, investor relations, and CRM systems management. Prior to that, Ms. Boaz managed research and development laboratories at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology from 2016 to 2020. Ms. Boaz holds a Ph.D. in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from the Technion (2010-2016).
Following the appointment of Ms. Boaz to the Board, the Board is comprised of Mr. Ohad Haber, Mr. Yehuda Doron and Ms. Mor Boaz. The Company's Audit Committee consists of Mr. Doron (Chair), Mr. Haber and Ms. Boaz. The Board has determined that Mr. Doron and Ms. Boaz are "independent" within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees.
Continued Listing Requirements Deficiencies
The Company has failed to meet the criteria for classification as a Tier 1 issuer pursuant to TSXV Policy 2.5 - Continued Listing Requirements ("Policy 2.5"). As a result, the Company's tier classification was downgraded from Tier 1 to Tier 2 effective May 22, 2026. Additionally, the Company has deficiencies in the continued listing requirements ("CLRs") as a Tier 2 Industrial issuer pursuant to TSXV Policy 2.5. These deficiencies relate to the Company's working capital, activity, and assets and operations. As a result, the Company has been placed on a 90-day notice period, to demonstrate compliance with the applicable CLRs, failing which the Company may be transferred to NEX.
As at March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficiency of US$5,718,000. The Company intends to address this deficiency through a restructuring of its operations, including the voluntary assignment in bankruptcy of its former Canadian operating subsidiary, Heartnut Grove WWT Inc., and the ongoing liquidation of its Israeli subsidiary, Irri-Al-Tal Ltd. In addition, the Company is engaging with creditors regarding potential arrangements, including the possible conversion of outstanding indebtedness into equity, and is exploring prospective capital-raising initiatives.
Following the discontinuation of its prior operating activities, the Company is also undertaking a previously announced strategic review process to identify and evaluate opportunities to re-establish operations and enhance shareholder value. Such opportunities may include a business combination, reverse takeover, merger, asset acquisition, or the establishment of a new line of business. The Company intends to rely on the outcome of this strategic review to address the assets and operations criteria and work toward meeting the CLRs applicable to a Tier 2 Industrial issuer.
Annual General Meeting
The Company is not in compliance with the annual general meeting ("AGM") requirements set out in Section 4.1 of TSXV Policy 3.2 - Filing Requirements, as it has not held an AGM since February 10, 2025. The TSXV has required the Company to hold an AGM by no later than August 24, 2026. While the Company is taking steps to remedy this deficiency and intends to hold its AGM prior to the end of 2026, it does not expect to meet the August 24, 2026 deadline due to its current financial constraints and is in discussions with the TSXV regarding this matter.
