Esports Entertainment Group announced the closing, on December 6, 2019, of the final tranche of its private placement offering whereby the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with four accredited investors.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, in the final tranche, the Company issued the Investors convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000 (including a 10% original issue discount) and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 916,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Warrants”).

The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum and are initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.60 per share, subject to adjustment. The Notes contain customary events of default and mature one year from the date of issuance.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, each Investor was entitled to 100% Warrant coverage, such that such Investor received the same number of Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as is the number of shares of common stock initially issuable upon conversion of its Note as of the date of issuance. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance at a price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment.

Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group, stated: “This is another major milestone for our Company. This financing will allow us to complete initiatives that have been announced over the past several months, as we look towards building our business and our brand in order to return shareholder value.”
