LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CYOP Systems International Inc. (OTCBB:CYOS.OB),
a provider of online casino software, is pleased to announce that it
will be investigating strategic options for the company including
mergers and/or acquisitions.
CYOP will continue to promote its management of iGaming software and
build non-US-based business relationships. However, the Company has now
also begun looking at alternative technology companies with which to
enter into joint venture, to merge with or to acquire.
Whilst the Company cannot guarantee the success of this strategy, it
does feel confident that it has the knowledge and expertise to manage
such a transaction subject to shareholder approval. Furthermore,
exploring these calculated options will not adversely impact day-to-day

its customer base.

exploration of various tactical alternatives is an effort to maximize
shareholder value whilst using our assets and capabilities in the
eCommerce marketing and operations. We are going to determine whether it
would be best for us to invest in, enter a joint venture or merge with
an existing revenue-generating entity.”
