This decision, which was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Prosys, is part of the previously announced restructuring following the deterioration of Prosys' and CDMS' financial position and market circumstances.

Following this Transaction, the continuing operations of Prosys will be its interest in Peak. As previously announced, Prosys reached an agreement on October 3, 2007, for a maximum investment of $750,000 in Peak, in exchange for an option to acquire up to 50.1% of the issued and outstanding voting and participating class "A" shares in the share capital of Peak. As of this day, Prosys approximately holds 45% of the issued and outstanding voting and participating class "A" shares in the share capital of Peak (41.48% as at September 30, 2008). The proceeds of this Transaction will be used to exercise Prosys's option to increase its interest in Peak to 50.1 % in addition to repay a portion of Prosys' outstanding indebtedness and support its working capital.
