We believe the Continuance to Delaware will more accurately reflect our operations, which have largely been based in the United&#160;States and provide other expected and potential benefits. We have the following principal reasons for proposing this Continuance:</p>

As we are considered a domestic issuer for SEC reporting requirements, as well as a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia, we currently have to prepare our financial statements and reporting to meet the accounting standards and reporting requirements of both countries. This dual<span class="nobreak">-reporting</span> of the results of our operations represents a significant added expense for the Company. We expect to spend less money on legal and regulatory compliance as a Delaware company.</p>

The board chose to effect a continuance, which will result in the Company ceasing to be governed by the corporate laws of British Columbia, Canada and instead being governed by the corporate laws of the State of Delaware, because it believes the more favorable corporate environment afforded by Delaware will help us compete more effectively with other public companies, many of which are incorporated in Delaware, in raising capital and in attracting and retaining skilled, experienced outside directors.</p>

The Company is proposing to change its governing jurisdiction from British Columbia, Canada to Delaware under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#8220;DGCL&#8221;) through a process known as a continuance under the BCBCA, and known as a domestication under the DGCL.&#160;A domestication or a continuance is a process by which a corporation that is not incorporated under the laws of Delaware may change its jurisdiction of incorporation to Delaware. Under the DGCL, if the laws of its home jurisdiction allow for it, a company may be &#8220;domesticated&#8221; as a Delaware corporation by filing the Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Company refers to this process in this proxy statement/prospectus as the &#8220;Continuance.&#8221; In order to give effect to the Continuance, the Company&#8217;s board of directors has approved the Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation under Section&#160;388 of the DGCL and has recommended that Shareholders approve the Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation. After the completion of the Continuance, the Company will be a Delaware corporation governed by the DGCL.&#160;The Company will continue to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged. We do not expect the Continuance to result in any material effect on the Company&#8217;s operations. The business and operations of the Company following the Continuance will be identical in most respects to the Company&#8217;s current business and operations, except that the Company will no longer be subject to the corporate laws of British Columbia and instead will be subject to the DGCL.&#160;Versus Delaware will be liable for all the debts and obligations of Versus British Columbia, and the officers and directors of Versus Delaware will be the officers and directors of Versus British Columbia. The differences between the laws are not expected to materially affect the Company&#8217;s business but will affect your rights as a Shareholder. The differences between the applicable laws of the two jurisdictions are discussed in greater detail under &#8220;<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Comparative Rights of Shareholders</span>&#8221; commencing on page 20 of this proxy statement/prospectus.</p>

Generally, a &#8220;business combination&#8221; includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three&#160;years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15 percent or more of a corporation&#8217;s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti<span class="nobreak">-takeover</span> effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Company&#8217;s board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by the Company&#8217;s stockholders.</p>

As a result, as of January&#160;1, 2024, the Company was no longer permitted to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country (Canada) and to avail itself of the reduced disclosure requirements and applicable exemptions from U.S.&#160;securities rules and regulations. Effective on January&#160;1, 2024, the Company transitioned to U.S.&#160;domestic reporting status and became subject to the reporting requirements of domestic U.S.&#160;issuers. The Continuance, once completed, will not result in any change to our becoming subject to the reporting requirements of domestic U.S.&#160;issuers, or to our requirements to file our audited annual financial statements </p>

This resulted in minor adjustments of the ROU asset as of December&#160;31, 2021 and 2022. As of December&#160;31, 2022, the Company conducted an impairment analysis of goodwill and intangible assets. In IFRS, the recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In U.S.&#160;GAAP, the recoverable amount is the carrying amount less fair value. This resulted in an additional $665,000 impairment charge as of December&#160;31, 2022.</p>

Management has determined that a Continuance will be the most effective means of achieving the desired change of domicile. The BCBCA allows a corporation that is incorporated under British Columbia law to continue into a foreign entity pursuant to a Continuance approved by the shareholders of the British Columbia corporation.</p>

The Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation will also be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. Upon the filing and subsequent receipt of a stamped copy of the Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the Certificate of Incorporation from the Delaware Secretary of State, the Company will be continued as a Delaware corporation and will be governed by the laws of Delaware. The assets and liabilities of the Delaware corporation immediately after the Continuance will be identical to the assets and liabilities of the British Columbia company immediately prior to the Continuance. The current officers and directors of the British Columbia company will be the officers and directors of the Delaware corporation. The change of domicile will not result in any material change to the business of the Company and will not have any effect on the relative equity or voting interests of our Shareholders. Each previously outstanding common share of the Company will become one share of the common stock of the Delaware corporation. The change in domicile will, however, result in changes in the rights and obligations of current Shareholders under applicable corporate laws. For an explanation of these differences, see &#8220;<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Comparative Rights of Shareholders</span>&#8221; beginning on&#160;page 20 of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the Continuance may have material tax consequences to Shareholder that may or may not be adverse to any particular Shareholders depending on the Shareholder&#8217;s particular circumstances. For a more detailed explanation of the tax consequences, see &#8220;<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Material United&#160;States Federal Income Tax Consequences</span>&#8221; and &#8220;<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Material Canadian Income Tax Consequences</span>&#8221; on pages 38 and<span class="nobreak"> </span>32, respectively, of this proxy statement/prospectus.</p>

If at least two<span class="nobreak">-thirds</span> of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereat vote for the adoption of the Continuance, we will then file a Certificate of Corporate Domestication with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The current officers and directors of the British Columbia company will be the officers and directors of the Delaware company. Upon the filing of the Certificate of Corporate Domestication and Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Section&#160;308 of the BCBCA and Section&#160;388 of the DGCL, respectively, and payment of all fees prescribed thereby, together with the compliance with all other requirements, the Continuance will become effective in accordance with Section&#160;308 of the BCBCA and Section&#160;388 of the DGCL.&#160;Upon receipt of the signed Certificate of Corporate Domestication and payment of all applicable fees, the Delaware Secretary of State will issue a stamped and filed copy of the Certificate of Corporate Domestication and the British Columbia Registrar of Companies will issue a Certificate of Discontinuance, and the Continuance will be effective on the date shown in the Certificate of Corporate Domestication.</p>

A Shareholder who fails to send the Company, within the required time frame, the written statements described above and the certificates representing the shares in respect of which the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder dissents, forfeits its right to dissent.</p>

It is customary for a company in such circumstances to apply to a court initially for an interim order governing various procedural matters prior to calling any security holder meeting to consider the proposed arrangement. Plans of arrangement involving shareholders must be approved by a special resolution of shareholders, including holders of shares not normally entitled to vote. The court may, in respect of an arrangement proposed with persons other than shareholders and creditors, require that those persons approve the arrangement in the manner and to the extent required by the court. The court determines, among other things, to whom notice shall be given and whether, and in what manner, approval of any person is to be obtained and also determines whether any shareholders may dissent from the proposed arrangement and receive payment of the fair value of their shares. Following compliance with the procedural steps contemplated in any such interim order (including as to obtaining security holder approval), the court would conduct a final hearing, which would, among other things, assess the fairness of the arrangement and approve or reject the proposed arrangement.</p>

Immediately before its deemed year<span class="nobreak">-end</span>, the Company will be deemed to have disposed of each of its properties for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of such properties and to have reacquired such properties immediately thereafter at a cost amount equal to the fair market value.

This additional tax is generally payable at the rate of 25 percent (25%), but will be reduced to 5 percent (5%) under the Treaty unless it can reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons for our Company becoming resident in the United&#160;States was to reduce the amount of emigration tax or Canadian withholding tax under Part&#160;XIII of the Tax Act.</p>

This conclusion is based in part on determinations of factual matters including the fair market value of the Company&#8217;s property, and counsel expresses no opinion on such matters of factual determination. Furthermore, facts underlying the Company&#8217;s assumptions and conclusions may also change prior to the effective time of the Continuance. The Company has not applied to the CRA for a ruling as to the amount of Canadian federal income taxes payable by the Company as a result of the Continuance and does not intend to apply for such a ruling given the factual nature of the determinations involved. There can be no assurance that the CRA will accept the valuations or the positions that the Company has adopted in calculating the amount of Canadian federal income taxes that will be payable upon the Continuance. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the CRA will conclude after the effective time of the Continuance that no Canadian federal income taxes are due as a result of the Continuance or that the amount of Canadian federal income taxes found to be due will not be significant.</p>

Treasury Regulations under Section&#160;367 provide that the all earnings and profits amount attributable to a Shareholder&#8217;s stock is determined according to the principles of Section&#160;1248 of the Code.

However, the Company believes it does not have any earnings and profits for purposes of these rules, and therefore the imputation of a deemed dividend should not be applicable for a U.S.&#160;Shareholder or any foreign corporation that owns shares of the Company with a U.S.&#160;Shareholder.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income.

In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors&#8217; count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.</span></p>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">We have acted as counsel
to Versus Systems Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the &ldquo;<U>Registrant</U>&rdquo;),
in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the &ldquo;<U>Registration Statement</U>&rdquo;) filed by the Registrant with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with a proposed transaction in which
the Registrant will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Province of British Columbia in Canada to the State of Delaware
in the United States of America, through a continuance in accordance with the <I>Business Corporations Act</I> (British Columbia) and
the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;<U>Continuance</U>&rdquo;). The Delaware corporation that will continue in existence
following the consummation of the Continuance is Versus Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation to be formed (&ldquo;<U>Versus Delaware</U>&rdquo;).</P>

connection with the Continuance, Versus Delaware will assume the Registrant&rsquo;s 2017 Stock Option Plan (the &ldquo;<U>Versus BC

outstanding stock option granted by the Registrant pursuant to the Versus BC Plan (the &ldquo;<U>Versus BC Incentive
Awards</U>&rdquo;) will be exchanged for an incentive award granted by Versus Delaware (the &ldquo;<U>Versus Delaware Incentive
Awards</U>&rdquo;) pursuant to the Versus Delaware Plan. The Versus Delaware Incentive Awards will be subject to substantially
the same terms and conditions as the Versus BC Incentive Awards, except that the securities issuable upon exercise or settlement of
the </FONT>Versus Delaware Incentive Awards will be shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Versus Delaware
(&ldquo;<U>Common Stock</U>&rdquo;) (or their cash equivalent) rather than common shares of Versus BC (&ldquo;<U>Common

with the Continuance, <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">each outstanding warrant to purchase common shares of Versus BC granted by
the Registrant (the &ldquo;<U>Versus BC Warrants</U>&rdquo;) will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase an equivalent number of shares

Warrants will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the Versus BC Warrants, except that the securities issuable

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In connection with the
Continuance, the Registrant is registering for issuance (i) 2,506,015 shares of Common Stock (the &ldquo;<U>Outstanding

underlying the Versus Delaware Incentive Awards (the &ldquo;<U>Incentive Award Shares</U>&rdquo;) and (iii) 896,645 shares of Common
Stock underlying the Versus Delaware Warrants to be issued in the Continuance (the &ldquo;<U>Warrant Shares</U>&rdquo; and, together

we are familiar with the corporate proceedings taken by the Registrant to authorize the filing of the Registration Statement. We have

upon statements, representations and certificates of officers or representatives of the Registrant, public officials and others. We have
not independently verified the facts so relied on.</P>

of the opinion set forth below, we have also assumed that in connection with the issuance of the Shares, Versus Delaware will receive consideration
in an amount not less than the aggregate par value of the Shares covered by each such issuance.</P>
