VersaPay Corporation (TSXV: VPY) (the “Company” or “VersaPay”), is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS“), one of the leading independent proxy advisory firms that provides voting recommendations to institutional investors, has recommended that shareholders of VersaPay (the “Shareholders“) vote FOR the proposed acquisition by 1233518 B.C. Ltd., an affiliate of Great Hill Partners, of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (“VersaPay Shares“) by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement“).

ISS has recommended that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement resolution stating: “The transaction will allow shareholders to cash out of their investment at a significant premium to the unaffected share price, with the cash consideration providing certainty of value during a challenging period under which increased access to capital has become necessary for the Company. Given the favourable market reaction and steps taken to mitigate certain minor governance concerns, shareholder approval of this resolution is warranted.”
