Dismissal of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
|
On December 16, 2021,
the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Versus Systems Inc. (the "Company")
was informed that its current independent registered public accounting firm, Davidson & Company LLP (“Davidson”), resigned
as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective January 1, 2022. The Company has retained Ramirez
Jimenez International CPAs (“RJI”) as Davidson’s successor.
The audit reports of
Davidson on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain
any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During
the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (i) there were no disagreements with Davidson on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to Davidson’s satisfaction,
would have caused Davidson to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) there
were no reportable events.
The Company provided Davidson with a copy of this Report
of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested
that Davidson furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above. Attached as Exhibit 16.1
hereto is a copy of Davidson’s letter to the SEC, dated January 13, 2022.

Engagement of New Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
|
On
December 16, 2021, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of RJI, effective January 1, 2022, as the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with RJI on any matter other than the proposed terms of their engagement
as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, except
that the Company engaged RJI to audit the financial statements of Xcite Interactive, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, as
of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
