Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

To the extent required, the discussion of the Subscription Agreements and Warrant Agreements set forth in Item 3.02 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On August 20, 2019, Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) sold an aggregate of 527,029 units, with each unit consisting of one share of restricted common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Warrants” and the agreements evidencing such Warrants, the “Warrant Agreements”), at a price of $3.40 per unit. In total the Company raised $1,791,899 pursuant to the private offering of the units, which was made to accredited and off-shore investors. The units were sold pursuant to the Company’s entry into subscription agreements with each investor (the “Subscription Agreements”). The Subscription Agreements provide the investors customary piggyback registration rights (for both the shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants) which remain in place for the lesser of one year following the closing of the offering and the date that the applicable investor is eligible to sell the applicable securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Warrants have an exercise price of $4.10 per share (and no cashless exercise rights), and are exercisable until the earlier of (a) August 20, 2022, and (b) the 30th day after the Company provides the holder of the Warrants notice that the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock has closed at or above $6.80 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days. The Warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation, which limits the exercise of the Warrants held by any individual investor in the event that upon exercise such investor (and any related parties of such investor) would hold more than 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (which percentage may be increased to 9.999% with at least 61 days prior written notice to the Company from the investor). If the 527,029 Warrants which were granted in connection with the offering were exercised in full, a maximum of 527,029 shares of common stock would be issuable upon exercise thereof.

 

We claim an exemption from registration for the issuance and sale of the units described above pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), Rule 506(b) and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) since the units were issued to “accredited investors” and/or non-U.S. persons (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S), pursuant to offshore transactions, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the Company, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities 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. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

 

The description of the Subscription Agreements and Warrant Agreements above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement and form of Warrant Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, and are incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference in their entity.

 

Item 5.05. Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

 

As described in Item 8.01 below, on August 13, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all officers, directors and employees and includes compliance and reporting requirements, procedures for conflicts of interest, public disclosures, requirements for the compliance with laws, rules and regulations and requirements relating to employment practices, duties relating to corporate opportunities, confidentiality, fair dealing, and the use of Company assets.

In such case, the disclosure regarding the amendment or waiver will remain available on our website for at least 12 months after the initial disclosure. There have been no waivers granted with respect to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any such officers or employees.
