VANCOUVER, CANADA--(Marketwired - Oct. 31, 2013) - Versatile Systems Inc.

A total of 75,954,231 votes were cast in favour of the transaction (98.88%) and 861,725 shares were cast against the transaction (1.12%).
Previously, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement with its wholly-owned subsidiary Mobiquity. Under the Arrangement Agreement, Versatile and Mobiquity have agreed to undertake a plan of arrangement (the "Spin-out Transaction") under which the shares of Mobiquity will be distributed to Versatile shareholders. Existing Versatile shareholders will receive the same percentage interest in Mobiquity as they presently hold in Versatile such that, following the completion of the transaction, shareholders will hold shares in both Versatile and Mobiquity. Mobiquity, through its U.S. subsidiary, holds 970,087 shares of Equus, which is a public company trading on the NYSE under the symbol EQS.
The completion of the Spin-out Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions precedent, including the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and the listing of the common shares of Mobiquity on the CNSX. The Company will continue to work towards satisfaction of the remaining conditions precedent prior to seeking the final approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and will provide updates when available.
Further details regarding the Arrangement are set out in the Company's notice of special meeting and information circular dated September 27, 2013, which is available at www.sedar.com.
