Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “Golden Matrix”, “we” and “us”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 9, 2024, effective on April 1, 2024, we closed the transactions contemplated by that certain Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital dated January 11, 2023 (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Aleksandar Milovanović (“Milovanović”), Zoran Milošević (“Milošević”) and Snežana Božović (“Božović”, and collectively with Milovanović and Milošević, the “Sellers”), the former owners of Meridian Tech Društvo Sa Ograničenom Odgovornošću Beograd, a private limited company formed and registered in and under the laws of the Republic of Serbia (“Meridian Serbia”); Društvo Sa Ograničenom Odgovornošću “Meridianbet” Društvo Za Proizvodnju, Promet Roba I Usluga, Export Import Podgorica, a private limited company formed and registered in and under the laws of Montenegro; Meridian Gaming Holdings Ltd., a company formed and registered in the Republic of Malta; and Meridian Gaming (Cy) Ltd, a company formed and registered in the republic of Cyprus (collectively, the “Meridian Companies”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on April 9, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), and effective on April 1, 2024, we acquired 100% of the Meridian Companies.

 

As part of the consideration for the acquisition, we agreed to pay the Sellers, among other consideration, a total of $10,000,000 twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration”).

 

On, and effective on, April 9, 2025, we and the Sellers entered into a Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital (the “Sixth Amendment”), which amended the Purchase Agreement to (a) confirm that $179,540 of the Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration had already paid by the Company subsequent to the Closing Date and prior to April 9, 2025; (b) provide that a total of: (i) $9,445,460 of Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration owed to Milovanović (i.e., the entire remaining amount of the Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration owed to Milovanović) would be converted into common stock of the Company, pursuant to a separate Post-Closing Cash Consideration Conversion Agreement entered into between the Company and Milovanović on or around April 9, 2025 (the “First Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement”), and (ii) provide that $100,000 owed to Milošević and $25,000 owed to Božović would be converted into common stock of the Company, pursuant to a separate Post-Closing Cash Consideration Conversion Agreement entered into between the Company and Milošević and Božović on or around April 9, 2025 (the “Second Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement”, and together with the First Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement, the “Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreements”); and (c) provide that the remaining unpaid amount of the Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration owed to Milošević ($150,000) and Božović ($100,000) would be due and payable by the Company on or before October 9, 2025.

 

Post-Closing Cash Consideration Conversion Agreements

 

Also on April 9, 2025, the Company entered into the First Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement with Milovanović and the Second Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement with Milošević and Božović.

 

Pursuant to the First Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement, the Company and Milovanović agreed to convert an aggregate of $9,445,460 of Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration payable to Milovanović by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, into 4,843,826 shares of common stock of the Company, based on a conversion price of $1.95 per share.

Pursuant to the Second Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement (a) Milošević agreed to convert an aggregate of $100,000 of the Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration payable to Milošević by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement into 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and (b) Božović agreed to convert an aggregate of $25,000 of the Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration payable to Božović by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement into 12,500 shares of common stock of the Company, each based on a conversion price of $2.00 per share, which was greater than the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the date the agreement became binding on all parties.

 

Collectively, the shares of common stock issuable to the Sellers pursuant to the Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreements, the “Post-Closing Cash Conversion Shares”.

 

Pursuant to the Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreements, which included customary representations and warranties of the parties, the Sellers agreed that the shares of common stock issuable in connection therewith were in full and complete satisfaction of the portions of the Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration payable to such persons.

The foregoing description of the Sixth Amendment and Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreements, is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sixth Amendment and Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreements, attached hereto as Exhibits 2.7, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, which are incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference in their entirety.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information and disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 above are incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference in their entirety.

 

The Company claims an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the issuance of the Post-Closing Cash Conversion Shares, since the offer and sale of such securities did not involve a public offering and the recipients were “accredited investors”. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the securities will contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On April 14, 2025, the Company issued a press release disclosing the conversion of the Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration into the Post-Closing Cash Conversion Shares, as discussed above.

 

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

 

The information contained in, or incorporated into, this Item 7.01 of this Current Report, is furnished under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
