Fifth 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, 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 (i) $5,000,000 (the “Contingent Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock (the “Contingent Shares”) which are due to the Sellers within five business days following the Determination Date (defined below) if (and only if) the Company has determined that each of the Post-Closing Payment Conditions (defined below) are met. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Determination Date” means the date that is six months after the closing date of the Purchase Agreement (April 9, 2024) and the “Contingent Post-Closing Payment Conditions” are as follows: the Sellers and their affiliates are not then in default in any of their material obligations, covenants or representations under the Purchase Agreement, any of the transaction documents, or any other agreement with the Company beyond any applicable cure periods therein, as confirmed by Sellers in a signed writing delivered to the Company and verified by the Company within five business days thereafter.

On October 1, 2024, and effective on October 1, 2024, we and the Sellers entered into a Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital (the “Fifth Amendment”), which amended the Purchase Agreement to (a) provide that the Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the issuance of the Post-Closing Shares; and (b) to satisfy the payment of the Contingent Cash Consideration owed to the Sellers as follows: (A) Milovanović – a total of $2,000,000 of the Contingent Cash Consideration due to Milovanović was agreed to be satisfied in shares of Company common stock, pursuant to the terms of the October 2024 Debt Conversion Agreement, defined below, and the remaining $2,625,000 of Contingent Cash Consideration due to Milovanović, was agreed to be deferred until at least November 9, 2024, and shall thereafter be payable upon written demand by Milovanović to the Company, within two (2) business days; (B) Milošević – a total of $100,000 of the Contingent Cash Consideration due to Milošević was agreed to be satisfied in shares of Company common stock pursuant to the terms of the October 2024 Debt Conversion Agreement, and the Company agreed to pay the remaining $150,000 of Contingent Cash Consideration due to Milošević, at the rate of $50,000 per month, on each of October 1, 2024, November 1, 2024 and December 1, 2024; and (C) Božović – a total of $25,000 of the Contingent Cash Consideration due to Božović was agreed to be satisfied in shares of Company common stock, pursuant to the terms of the October 2024 Debt Conversion Agreement, and the Company agreed to pay the remaining $100,000 of Contingent Cash Consideration due to Božović, at the rate of $50,000 per month, on each of October 1, 2024 and November 1, 2024. The remaining $2,875,000 of Contingent Cash Consideration due to the Sellers as discussed above after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the October 2024 Debt Conversion Agreement is defined herein as the “Contingent Cash Payable”.

Debt Conversion Agreement

Also on October 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the “October 2024 Debt Conversion Agreement”) with each of the Sellers. Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement, the Company and (a) Milovanović agreed to convert an aggregate of $2,000,000 of the Contingent Cash Consideration payable to Milovanović into 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, based on a conversion price of $2.00 per share; (b) Milošević agreed to convert an aggregate of $100,000 of the Contingent Cash Consideration payable to Milošević into 43,478 shares of common stock of the Company, based on a conversion price of $2.30 per share, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on October 1, 2024, the date the October 2024 Debt Conversion Agreement became binding on all parties, since the agreement became binding after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on such day, which closing sales price was equal to the closing consolidated bid price on such trading day (the “Related Party Conversion Price”); and (c) Božović agreed to convert an aggregate of $25,000 of the Contingent Cash Consideration payable to Božović into 10,870 shares of common stock of the Company, based on a conversion price equal to the Related Party Conversion Price.

Collectively, the shares of common stock issuable to the Sellers pursuant to the October 2024 Debt Conversion Agreement, the “Debt Conversion Shares”.

Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement, 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 Contingent Cash Consideration payable to such persons.

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 certificates evidencing the securities or book-entry statements 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.
