VANCOUVER, CANADA — (Marketwired) — 06/26/13 — Versatile Systems Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VV), announces that the Board of Directors has formally approved the disposition of the Company-s investment in Equus Total Return, Inc. (“Equus”). The disposition is by way of a spin-out of the shares of the Company-s wholly owned subsidiary, Mobiquity Investments Corp. (“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. In the most recently completed financial statements as at March 31, 2013 the Company recorded the investment in Equus at $2,002,693.
The transaction is contemplated to proceed by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Spin-out Transacton”) 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.
The completion of the Spin-out Transaction is subject to, among other things, confirming the final structure and terms of the arrangement agreement to be entered into with Mobiquity, shareholder and Court approval and other regulatory approvals, including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of the Spin- out Transaction. Versatile is targeting the fall of this year for completion of the Spin-out Transaction. Further particulars will be announced in due course by news release.
