TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 1, 2012) - 2064818 Ontario Inc. (the "Offeror"), a company owned by a trust of the family of Mr. Alex Dolgonos, the founder and original chief executive officer of Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:UBS) announced today that it has launched its offer to acquire 10,000,000 shares of UBS, at a price of $0.08 per share.
Earlier today, the Offeror filed its formal offer with Canadian securities regulators and commenced the mailing of its offer and take-over bid circular and related documents to the Company's shareholders.
The offer will be open for acceptance until 8:00 pm (Toronto time) on March 9, 2012. The offer is subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, there being no adverse material change to UBS.

The offer represents a premium of 60% to the closing price of UBS's shares on the TSX-V on January 18, 2012, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offeror's intention to make the offer.
"As the founder of UBS, I am committed to the Company, but UBS is on the wrong course. The Company needs new leadership," said Mr. Dolgonos, President of the Offeror. "In that regard, the Offeror intends to requisition a special meeting of the shareholders of UBS to replace the current board of directors. I am committed to working with a new board so that UBS can look to the future with renewed optimism."

Forward-looking Information
Certain statements in the press release are forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may", "should", "will", "could", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "anticipate", "expect", "believe" or "continue", or the negative thereof or similar variations. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of the Offeror include, among other things, the failure to meet certain conditions of the offer, changes in law, and the ability of the Offeror to attract a qualified slate of proposed directors of UBS. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors, and the Oferror is not under any obligation, and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
