PayChest Corporate Update

PayChest, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PYCT) ("the Company") wishes to
announce an update to shareholders regarding corporate
developments.
In April 2012, the Company became aware that the Depository
Trust Company (DTC), a company that oversees and clears deposits of
physical stock certificates in the US, imposed a temporary chill on
accepting the Company's share certificates for deposit. These
"chills" are designed to protect shareholders' interests and can be
placed on Company certificate deposits for a variety of reasons. As
far as the Company can tell, the temporary chill was triggered as a
result of an increase in issued and outstanding shares, caused by
preferred shareholders converting existing preferred stock into
common stock.
Previously, under a number of agreements, certain of the
Company's investors funded the Company by purchasing preferred
stock with a conversion feature. These preferred stockholders
converted their preferred stock into common stock to benefit from
the possible upside of their investment. As such, the group
converted 545,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.0001 resulting in
the issuance of 5,450,000,000 shares of common stock. Many of those
shares cannot be deposited into the DTC clearing system for
possible future sale.
The DTC chill can, and does, affect a company's funding source
in that it influences the internal policies and procedures of some
brokerage firms. One such policy is that some brokers have
restricted or blocked buy orders from customers wishing to purchase
the Company's shares on the open market. As a result, trading
volumes are at historic lows. Funding has been limited to a
maintenance basis whereby only essential capital requirements will
be funded. According to the funding sources, upon removal of the
chill, further ongoing funding is slated to return.
Previously, the Company announced a $1.2 million purchase order
for 16 containers of Mibella flushable and biodegradable sanitary
products with a UK distributor. Each container wholesales for
approximately $75,000, depending on product and pack size mix. In a
typical sales cycle, our Company would pay for some or all of the
production materials in advance. The contractual risk of starting
supply and then stopping threatened the distributor and end
customer with an unreliable supply chain that would have damaged
confidence. The Company anticipates the purchase order will be
fulfilled after the chill is lifted and finance is flowing
again.
For legal reasons, news releases have been infrequent while the
Company has been addressing the DTC chill until a plan was agreed
upon. The Company and our legal counsel have been working with the
DTC to provide them with the necessary documentation the DTC has
requested. The Company has addressed a number of specific issues
raised by the DTC. The Company now needs to address one final issue
and propose a plan of action to the DTC to bring this to a
conclusion. The Company must execute this action plan in a timely
manner and is confident that once the plan has been executed and
all necessary documents delivered to the DTC, they will remove the
chill.
Through this time, the Company has continued to produce and
release its quarterly and annual filings. The Company's filings are
submitted with the OTC markets and can be found on
