EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On December 1, 2021, Esports Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announcing it had closed the transaction pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Aspire Global plc, a company incorporated under the laws of Malta (“Aspire”), Aspire Global International Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Malta, AG Communications Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Malta, Aspire Global 7 Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Malta (collectively the “Aspire Related Companies”), and Karamba Limited, a limited liability company incorporated and existing under the laws of Malta (“Karamba”) whereby Esports Malta agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Karamba (the “Acquisition”). In the Initial Report, the Company indicated that it intended to provide the required Item 9.01(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired and Item 9.01(b) Pro Forma Financial Information through an amendment to the Initial Report no later than 71 days from the date on which such Initial Report was required to be filed.

 

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, among other things, the following transactions and deliverables occurred at the Closing: (i) Aspire and the Aspire Related Companies transferred to Karamba all the business to consumer (“B2C”) assets, certain liabilities, and operations as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement (the “Assets”); (ii) Aspire (and the Aspire Related Companies) assigned or transferred to Karamba all key and material contracts for services that are necessary for the operation of the Assets; (iii) Esports Malta acquired all of the shares in Karamba; (iv) Esports Malta entered into an agreement with Aspire whereby Aspire will provide continuation of services related to certain employees which are believed to be essential to the integration and operation of the Assets (the “Transitional Services Agreement”) for a transition period subsequent to the Closing and up to 90 days thereafter; (v) Karamba (as then fully owned by Esports Malta) entered into four-year business to business white label operator services agreements collectively covering regulated and unregulated markets, based upon a migration plan in accordance with applicable laws (collectively the “Operator Services Agreement” and the “Migration Plan”, respectively).

 

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, the total acquisition price was €65,000,000 payable as follows: (i) a cash amount of €50,000,000; (ii) €10,000,000, payable in accordance with the terms of an unsecured subordinated promissory note (the “Note”); and (iii) 186,838 shares of Company common stock, which were valued at €5,000,000 (based on the weighted average per-share price of the ten trading days prior to the execution date of the Acquisition Agreement (the “Exchange Shares”). The Company agreed, within 45 days as of the Closing, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement to register the resale of the Exchange Shares.

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Initial Report to provide the financial statements and pro forma financial information referred to in parts (a) and (b) of Item 9.01 below relating to the Acquisition that were previously omitted from the Initial Report as permitted by Item 9.01(a)(3) and 9.01(b)(2).
