February 11, 2021

GameSquare Esports Inc., an international esports company, is pleased to announce that it has agreed with Canaccord Genuity Corp., on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriter”), to increase the previously announced bought deal financing.

The Underwriters have agreed to purchase on a bought deal private placement basis, 16,700,000 subscription receipts of the Company (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of C$0.42 per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of C$7,014,000 (the “Offering”).

The net proceeds of the Offering shall be held in escrow and will only be released to the Company on the date (the “Escrow Release Date”) on which certain escrow release conditions relating to the Company’s proposed acquisition (the “Proposed Acquisition”) of Reciprocity Corp. (“Reciprocity”) have been satisfied, including (i) written confirmation from each of the Company and Reciprocity that all conditions to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition have been satisfied or waived; (ii) the receipt of all regulatory, shareholder and third-party approvals, if any, required in connection with the Proposed Acquisition; and (iii) the Company not being in breach or default of any of its covenants or obligations under the agreements relating to the Offering and having satisfied all conditions set out in the underwriting agreement to be entered into with the Underwriters in connection with the Offering.

On the Escrow Release Date, each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically exercised, without payment of additional consideration on the part of the holder, into one unit of the Company (a “Unit”). If the Escrow Release Date has not occurred by the date that is 90 days following the closing date of the Offering, subject to that date being extended by mutual agreement between the Company and Canaccord, then the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the proceeds of the Offering, together with each subscriber’s pro rata share of interest thereon, will be returned to the subscribers.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.60 for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Offering, subject to a Warrant acceleration right exercisable by the Company if, at any time following the date that is four months and one day from the date of the closing of the Offering, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange is greater than C$1.00 for the preceding five consecutive trading days.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering to advance business operations in North America and Europe and for general corporate purposes. The Offering is scheduled to close on or about March 4, 2021 and is subject to certain conditions customary for transactions of this nature, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The Subscription Receipts to be issued under the Offering and the securities of the Company exchanged for the Subscription Receipts upon the closing of the Transaction will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering.

As consideration for their services with respect to the Offering, the Underwriters shall be entitled to (i) a cash commission of 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering, and (ii) warrants of the Company (the “Broker Warrants”), exercisable for a period of 36 months following the closing date, to acquire in aggregate that number of Units which is equal to 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering at an exercise price equal to the Issue Price.

Gaming Corps has launched its online casino content with bet365 in Alberta on the first day of the province’s regulated market opening on 13 July 2026, while also expanding its content distribution with the operator in Ontario and Spain.

The Sweden-based game developer said it is among the first wave of studios fully certified for Alberta’s newly regulated market. Gaming Corps will support bet365’s Alberta entry with more than 50 games at launch, spanning Slots, Table, Plinko, Mine Games and Instant Blitz.

As part of the expanded partnership, Gaming Corps said bet365 will also gain access to its football-themed titles, including Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, and its 3 Pigs franchise, including 3 Pigs of Olympus, 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog, and 3 Pigs of the Caribbean.

The rollout also includes Gaming Corps’ Low RTP Blackjack titles, which the company said are designed around 93.57% RTP and approximately 6% operator hold, with flexible branding options and side-bet mechanics.

Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “Extending our partnership with bet365 across Spain, Ontario and Alberta is a major moment for Gaming Corps, but Alberta is the real statement here. Going live with bet365 from day one reflects the work our teams have put into certification, onboarding and ensuring we can move quickly and confidently with major operator partners.

“As one of the earliest studios ready for Alberta, we’ll be bringing more than 50 titles to the province. That breadth matters, because it gives operators like bet365 a single partner across multiple verticals, with content designed to support acquisition, engagement and retention across different player segments. Spain and Ontario are also important regulated markets for us and expanding with a global operator of this scale highlights how far Gaming Corps has come in a short period of time.”

Richard Graham, Associate VP of Gaming at bet365at bet365 said: “Gaming Corps has become a valuable content partner, combining recognisable game identities with formats that add variety across our casino offering. We are pleased to extend the partnership into Spain, Ontario and Alberta, with the Alberta launch particularly important as part of our day-one commitment to the market.

“Expanding the relationship across multiple territories in a relatively short period reflects the strength of the collaboration, as well as the Gaming Corps team’s clear product direction, commitment and continued development as a game vendor. We look forward to giving players access to a wide-ranging portfolio from the moment the market opens.”
