FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jennifer Prince, Twitter's Global VP and Head of Content Partnerships, to Join Versus Systems Board of Directors

Versus Systems adds media and entertainment industry executive Jennifer Prince to

support the company's expansion into TV, streaming, and live events

LOS ANGELES, May 27, 2021 -- Versus Systems Inc. (“Versus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VS) (FRANKFURT: BMVB) today announced the appointment of Ms. Jennifer Prince to its Board of Directors. As the Global VP and Head of Content Partnerships for Twitter (NYSE: TWTR), Jennifer is responsible for Twitter’s global content arm, working with the world’s most renowned and conversation-driving publishers and creators on their creative, distribution and

monetization. She leads Twitter's worldwide efforts engaging with media entities and individual

creators across TV, film, music, sports, news, lifestyle, and gaming.

The addition of Prince to the Board of Directors comes as Versus is actively growing in the media and entertainment verticals since their IPO on the Nasdaq in January. Versus, who recently announced the acquisition of Xcite Interactive, will now be able to position its interactive rewards platform inside games, apps, streaming media, OTT and broadcast television. Jennifer Prince is well positioned to help shape the company’s growth in the media space.

Prior to joining Twitter in August 2013, Jennifer was Head of Industry for Film and Television at Google and YouTube. Earlier, Jennifer was SVP of Advertising at Demand Media where she launched their Ad Sales business and helped the company through its IPO.

“I couldn’t turn down an opportunity to advise an innovative and growing company in Versus, after learning how their prizing engine integrates into content, to surprise and delight consumers in content-first immersive experiences,” said Jennifer Prince. “The team is very impressive and I’m thrilled to join the Versus board to help drive impact and value with a team and technology that I believe in.”

“Jennifer Prince is incredible. Her background is unmatched and a perfect fit for Versus. Leading media and entertainment at Twitter, the work she did at YouTube, Google, and Demand Media – Jennifer is exactly what Versus needs as we grow our sales organization and expand our product

offerings into interactive media to serve a wider range of content publishers across broadcast, sports, streaming, and live events. We are thrilled to have her join the team at Versus," said

Matthew Pierce, founder and CEO of Versus Systems.
