VMS Ventures Agrees to Settlements With Internet Posters

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2013) - VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS Ventures" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has reached settlements with two internet posters originally identified by court order in November, 2012.

The Company originally sought orders to identify these posters, known by the user accounts "tamerackerdown" and "nttg2005", on the basis that these posters published a series of false and malicious posts about the Company on the Stockhouse Website over various periods from November 2, 2010 to May 10, 2012.

After identifying and communicating directly with each of these posters, the Company agreed to delay proceeding with further legal action only after the posters had each apologized and agreed to stop posting about the Company on the Stockhouse Website. The Company continued to monitor the activities of these posters over the last year. As the posters had not published any further false or malicious posts about the Company in this time, the Company has elected to settle all claims with these posters in exchange for reimbursement of legal costs incurred to date.

Payment has now been received and these settlements are now concluded.
