Aphex BioCleanse Systems, Inc. announces it has come to the attention of the Board of Directors of Aphex BioCleanse Systems, Inc., that on February 10, 2022, Board Member Scott Smith filed a legal action in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts against the Company and two of its Directors. The object of the lawsuit is not to benefit the Company's shareholders but to financially benefit Scott Smith individually, and the litigation potentially damages shareholder interests. This litigation also clearly violates the "Schoon Doctrine", (Schoon v. Smith, No.

554, 2006 Del. Feb. 12, 2008) Accordingly, the Chairman of the Aphex Board of Directors, Thomas Fitzgerald has determined, effective immediately, to suspend Scott Smith from any, and all duties as a Board Director, pending a complete investigation of this matter and allow a review by the other full Board members.
