Item
5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
As
previously disclosed, Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company (the “Company”) has applied to list its common stock and
warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to obtain Nasdaq Capital Market listing approval, the Company obtained approval
of its Board of Directors and stockholders of (i) a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common
stock in the range from 1-for-2 to 1-for-10, which ratio was to be selected by the Company’s Board of Directors, with any
fractional shares being rounded up to the next higher whole shares (the “Reverse Split”), and (ii) an increase in
the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 36,000,000 shares of common stock. The increase in authorized
shares became effective on August 17, 2020. In addition, as previously disclosed, on September 28, 2020, the Company’s Board
of Directors approved the Reverse Split in a ratio of 1-for-6 and on September 29, 2020, the Company filed an amended and restated
certificate of amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate
of Incorporation”), implementing the Reverse Split in a ratio of 1-for-6, effective October 13, 2020. Furthermore, as previously
disclosed, on October 12, 2020, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation changing the
effective date of the Reverse Split, in a ratio of 1-for-6, to November 4, 2020.
On
November 2, 2020, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation changing the effective date
of the Reverse Split, in a ratio of 1-for-6, to November 18, 2020. The Company expects that the Reverse Split in a ratio of 1-for-6
will be effective on or about November 18, 2020; provided, however, that in no event will the Reverse Split become effective
until it has been processed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Reverse Split is intended to allow the
Company to meet the minimum share price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no assurance that the Company’s
listing application will be approved by the Nasdaq Capital Market.
