Versus Systems Inc. Closes Financing and Transaction

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 06/30/16 — Versus Systems Inc., formerly Opal Energy Corp. (CSE: OPA) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced “fundamental change” transaction (the “Transaction”) with Versus, LLC, as previously described in its news releases dated May, 27, 2016, March 18, 2016 and November 25, 2015. The Company–s common shares will commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”), under a new symbol once the Exchange–s conditions for final listing are satisfied and the Exchange issues its final exchange bulletin. The Company intends to disseminate a final news release when the final exchange bulletin is issued, announcing the anticipated date of commencement of trading and the new trading symbol.

Transaction

On June 30, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed an acquisition pursuant to an acquisition agreement made effective as of March 16, 2016 (the “Acquisition Agreement”) among the Company, Versus, LLC (“Versus”), Opal Energy (Holdco) Corp. (“NewCo”) (a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated under the laws of Nevada on March 14, 2016) and the members of Versus (the “Selling Members”), whereby NewCo acquired 100% of the membership units of Versus (the “Versus Units”), pro rata, from the Selling Members. The Company made an initial payment of USD$1,500,000 to the Selling Members and immediately thereafter, all of the Selling Members contributed and exchanged each issued and outstanding Versus Unit held by such members for one (1) fully paid and non-assessable common share of NewCo (the “NewCo Shares”) and each Versus Unit and the certificates representing such Versus Unit were cancelled and replaced with NewCo Shares and certificates in respect of the same issued in the name of NewCo. Versus then became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewCo.

Immediately after the aforementioned contribution and share exchange, the Company acquired voting control of the NewCo Shares, and the Selling Members (or their designees) were granted the right to exchange the NewCo Shares (issued pursuant to the exchange of Versus Units mentioned above) for such number of fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Company (the “Company Shares”) equal to a total value of USD$2,500,000 (the “Payment Shares”) and common share purchase warrants equal to a total value of USD$1,250,000 (the “Warrants”) at a deemed price of CAD$0.20 per Company Share. Each whole Warrant will be exercisable into one Company Share at an exercise price of CAD$0.20 per Company Share for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date, with a forced conversion if the Company Shares trade on the Exchange at a price greater than CAD$0.60 for more than 30 days.

Each NewCo Share and any certificates representing such NewCo Shares that are exchanged for Payment Shares and Warrants will be cancelled upon the completion of such exchange and NewCo will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Versus will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewCo.

After the exchange of all NewCo Shares for Payment Shares and Warrants, the Company will have issued 24,187,500 Company Shares to the Selling Members (on a fully-diluted basis).

Name Change

In connection with the Transaction, the Company changed its name from “Opal Energy Corp.” to “Versus Systems Inc.”. The Company–s new CUSIP is 92535P105 and its new ISIN is CA92535P1053.

Private Placement

Immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 20,160,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $5,040,000. Each unit consisted of one Company Share and one-half of one transferable Company Share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitled the holder to purchase, for a period of 24 months from the date of issue, one additional Company Share at an exercise price of $0.40 per Company Share, provided that if the closing price of the Company Shares on any stock exchange or quotation system on which the shares are then listed or quoted is equal to or greater than $0.65 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry of the warrants by giving notice to the holders of the warrants that the warrants will expire at 4:30 p.m. (Vancouver time) on a date that is not less than 30 days from the date notice is given.
