that they have completed their previously announced court-approved plan of
arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta)

outstanding common shares of Grey Island.
Under the terms of the Arrangement, former shareholders of Grey Island receive
0.35 common shares of WebTech Wireless for each common share of Grey Island,
subject to adjustment for fractional shares. Outstanding options to acquire Grey

accordance with the same exchange ratio. The Grey Island common shares will be
delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange in due course.
In connection with the Arrangement, the board of directors of WebTech Wireless
was increased to seven directors, and is now comprised of Glen Brownlee
(Chairman), Paul Christie, Leonard Metcalfe, Owen Moore, Dru Narwani, Peter
Roberts and Anwar Sukkarie. Messrs. Christie and Moore are former directors of
Grey Island.
Anwar Sukkarie, President & Chief Executive Officer of WebTech Wireless,
commented, "We would like to thank the Grey Island shareholders for the close to
90% support of this arrangement at their meeting earlier in October, and welcome
them to the WebTech Wireless family of shareholders. This brings to completion a
long process during which the benefits of the acquisition were thoroughly
evaluated and debated. From early on we saw the tremendous value that Grey
Island's people and products could bring to WebTech Wireless' business, and now
have every confidence that it will bring value to our shareholders as well."
Further details regarding the terms of the Arrangement are set out in Grey
Island's management information circular dated September 15, 2009, which is
