(CSE: LHS) (OTCQX: LHSIF) www.libertyhealthsciences.com ("Liberty" or the "Company"), as mentioned in the Company's Feb 12, 2019 press release, continues to work towards enhancing its directors and senior executives based in the United States, to more closely align with the US geographical focus of the business.

Similarly, the Company is announcing the resignation of Rene Gulliver, the Company's Chief Financial Officer effective April 14, 2019.  Mr. Gulliver will be replaced by Scott Meyers, currently the Company's Director of Finance, who shall serve in the role of interim Chief Financial Officer.
