CRH Medical Announces Filing For A US Listing

VANCOUVER, Aug. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - CRH Medical Corporation (TSX: CRH) (OTCQX: CRMMF) ("CRH"), a North American medical company that provides physicians with innovative products and services for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, has filed a Registration Statement on Form 40-F (the "Registration Statement") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. CRH also announced that it has submitted an original listing application to list its common shares for trading on the NYSE MKT, LLC. The Registration Statement has not yet become effective.

Following acceptance of the application and effectiveness of the Registration Statement, it is expected that CRH will have the opportunity to begin trading on the NYSE MKT, LLC.

"As the vast majority of our revenue is generated from our US operations, a listing on the NYSE MKT is a logical progression," said Edward Wright, Chief Executive Officer of CRH Medical. "We continue to expand our anesthesia services division, and this listing is an important step in our growth strategy as it increases our direct access to the North American investment community."

About:

CRH is a North American company that provides physicians with innovative products and services for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. CRH's product distribution strategy focuses on physician education, patient outcomes, and patient awareness. CRH's first product, the CRH O'Regan System, is a single use, disposable, hemorrhoid banding technology that is safe and highly effective in treating hemorrhoid grades I IV. CRH distributes the CRH O'Regan System, treatment protocols, operational and marketing expertise as a complete, turnkey package directly to physicians, allowing CRH to create meaningful relationships with the physicians it serves. CRH also operates a full service gastroenterology anesthesia services business, which provides anesthesia services to patients undergoing endoscopies and colonoscopies. Performing these procedures under anesthesia provides a greater degree of comfort to the patient and allows the gastroenterologist to perform more procedures than in the absence of anesthesia. CRH expects to leverage its relationships and the capabilities it has attained through acquisitions in order to consolidate the highly fragmented gastroenterology anesthesia provider business. CRH's goal is to establish itself as the premier provider of innovative products and essential services to gastroenterologists throughout the United States.
