Scout Gaming Group Completes Directed Share Issues and Receives Proceeds of Approximately SEK 75 Million

Scout Gaming Group AB announces that the Company successfully has completed two directed share issues amounting to approximately SEK 75 million, corresponding to approximately 3 million shares in the Company.
The Board of directors of Scout has, based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 25, 2020, resolved on a directed share issue of 1,835,062 shares through a so-called accelerated “book building” procedure (the ”Share Issue”) and on a directed share issue to the existing Santa Monica-based institutional investor Topline Capital Partners Ltd, of 1,200,000 shares (the “Directed Share Issue”). The Company receives approximately SEK 45 million before transaction costs from the Share Issue and approximately SEK 30 million before transaction costs from the Directed Share Issue, equal to a total amount of approximately SEK 75 million.
The Share Issue was substantially oversubscribed, and the subscription price has been set to SEK 25 per share through the accelerated book building procedure, which corresponds to a 14.6 percent premium compared to the average volume-weighted price of the Company’s share on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market over the past 30 trading days. The subscription price in the Directed Share Issue has been set to the same price as in the Share Issue.
The Share Issue was directed to Swedish and international institutional investors. In order to facilitate the execution of the Share Issue, the new shares have initially been subscribed for by ABG Sundal Collier AB at a price corresponding to the shares’ quota value. The shares will be transferred to the new and existing shareholders in the Company in accordance with agreements entered between ABG Sundal Collier and the actual investors. Subscribers in the in the Share Issue among others were the German institutional investor Lloyds AG, Provobis and Knutsson Holding. In connection with received payment from investors in the Share Issue, which is expected to occur around July 23, 2020, the Company will receive the remaining amount, i.e. the difference between the quota value and the price in the Share Issue.
“Scout Gaming is in an intensive growth phase establishing the DFS vertical globally. We are at the same time launching many new products and markets, just recently esport had a warm welcome. I’m sure that we trough this placing can capture additional market possibilities to accelerate the growth even more rapidly. I’m very pleased to attract both new and existing institutional investors as well as sector specialists”, comments Scout’s CEO Andreas Ternström.
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is mainly to raise capital in a time- and cost-efficient manner and to widen the institutional owner base. Through the Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue, Scout’s financial position will be further strengthened and enable and accelerate growth as well as a continued product development.
After the registration of the Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue, the total number of shares in the Company will amount to 20,536,654 shares. The Company’s share capital will increase with SEK 159,740.12 to SEK 1,080,876.56. The Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue entails a dilution of approximately 15 percent of the number of shares in Scout after the Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue.
In connection with the Share Issue, the Company has appointed ABG Sundal Collier as Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner and Advokatfirman Delphi as legal counsel.

With a product upgrade roadmap that includes geolocation anomaly detection, VPN usage analysis, and AI-powered behavioural profiling, Firesand Shield is set to offer operators and platforms significant peace of mind to stay ahead of security threats as they evolve.

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

There are affiliate networks, and then thereâs MegaList â a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.
In an industry that sometimes feels like itâs powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the âMega Mapâ â a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less âlook at our reach,â more âhereâs your conversion rate.â
So no, this isnât just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.
The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters
Letâs be honest â the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.
Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.
Itâs simple:
- Informed players make better choices.
- Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
- Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.
Meet the MegaList Brands
These arenât vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well⊠telling it like it is.
MegaCasinoList
Letâs face it â players donât need another affiliate promising âtop 10 casinosâ based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.
Thatâs where MegaCasinoList comes in â a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, itâs all in there, and itâs all vetted.
They work with reliable operators only, because â and hereâs a crazy idea â not every shiny site deserves your deposit.

MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions â minus the fluff and with none of that âwin guaranteedâ nonsense.

MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. Itâs not trying to dazzle; itâs trying to help people bet smarter â and itâs doing a pretty solid job of it.
From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered â and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.
Why This All Matters (And Why Itâs Working)
The iGaming world doesnât need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.
Thatâs where MegaList comes in â not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.
And if we may drop in a little vision while weâre at it:
âAt MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.â
For once, a statement that isnât just inspirational filler.
So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: âDo they have a plan, or just a landing page?â
 MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.
