Golden Matrix Receives $10 Million Investment From The Lind Partners

Investment Proceeds Will Strengthen Company’s Financial Position, Provide Significant Growth Capital and Facilitates Future Strategic Acquisitions

LAS VEGAS, NV - (NewMediaWire) - July 03, 2024 - Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ:GMGI) (“Golden Matrix” or the “Company”), a leading developer and licensor of online gaming platforms, systems and gaming content, today announced that it has closed on a funding agreement for $10 million in gross proceeds with Lind Global Asset Management VIII LLC (the “Investor”), an investment fund managed by The Lind Partners, a New York-based institutional fund manager.

“We are very pleased to have The Lind Partners invest in the Company,” said Brian Goodman, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Matrix. “The proceeds from this investment will put Golden Matrix in a strong financial position for continued expansion and enable us to identify and make strategic acquisitions in the future.”

Phillip Valliere, Managing Director at The Lind Partners, commented, “We are delighted to announce our  investment in Golden Matrix, which we believe is well positioned for growth  and look forward to following its progress  in the future.”

The investment was made pursuant to the entry into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Investor purchased from the Company (a) a $12 million senior convertible note (the “Note”) and (b) a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) which entitles the holder to acquire up to 750,000 shares of common stock of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”).

The Note has a 24-month maturity and a conversion price of $4.00 per share of common stock of the Company (each, a “Common Share”), equal to a 130% premium over the closing price on the date the Purchase Agreement was entered into, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances with respect to any repayment of the Note in Common Shares by the Company. A total of $10 million was funded by the Investor for the purchase of the Note and Warrant (representing the principal amount of the Note, less an original issuance discount of 20%). The Company is required to make monthly payments on the unpaid face value of the Note in 20 equal monthly installments commencing on the date that is the earlier of (a) the date a registration statement registering the Common Shares and Warrant Shares is declared effective and (b) 135 days from the issuance date.

The Company entered into a security agreement and pledge agreement in favor of the Investor to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the obligations of the Company to the Investor.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Common Shares and Warrant Shares, issued or issuable to the Investor within 60 days. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Investor has the right to participate in any equity or debt offering, or combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”) equal to 20% of the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing until July 3, 2025.

The securities offered and sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act and were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and applicable U.S. state securities laws, and such securities were issued as “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.

The Loev Law Firm, PC acted as legal counsel to Golden Matrix in connection with the transaction and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP acted as legal counsel to the Investor.

Additional information, including the full terms of the financing transaction, is available in the Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
