New Investment - Low 6 Limited

Gunsynd Plc (AIM: GUN, AQSE: GUN) is pleased to announce that it has invested GBP 200,010 in Low 6 Limited ("Low6"), a UK-based, influencer-led, B2B pool betting platform for franchises around the world. Low6 offers a white-label pool betting platform for professional sports franchises.

This investment in Low6 was made on the following terms:

-- subscription for 6,667 ordinary shares at a price of GBP30 per share for a total consideration of GBP 200,010 ; and

   --      this investment is a part of a GBP1.5m funding round.

The board of Gunsynd believes there is significant demand for a sports betting product which is built and designed to match the excitement of watching sports and which is also engaging and simple to use. Low6 provides a white-labelled mobile platform to its partners which enables them to offer a pooled sports betting experience to their app users and allows users to bet with each other.

Under its B2B model, Low6 partners with a sports team/franchise, such as a UK football club. The model reduces customer acquisition costs and strengthens brand and customer loyalty, which enhances customer retention. Low6 can either embed its platform within its partners' apps or build the app for its partners. The board of Gunsynd believes the Low6 partnership model is also highly scalable.

Low6 has a number of significant partnerships including Yinzcam Inc. which has 90+ million installs of its mobile sports and events apps world-wide and currently serves 190+ professional teams, leagues, events and venues in the US, Canada, Spain and Australia.

Low6 has raised over GBP8 million to date and expects to raise additional funds through a pre-IPO funding round with a view to completing an IPO at some stage throughout 2021.

An entity in which Peter Ruse, a Director of Gunsynd, has an interest, has subscribed for 916 shares for consideration of GBP27,500 at a price of GBP30 per share as part of the same funding round.

Hamish Harris, Gunsynd Plc Director, commented: "Gunsynd is very pleased to participate in this capital raising into Low 6 Limited. The investment offers exposure to what we believe to be an exciting sector of pooled sports betting where Low6 participants can wager against each other rather than a bookmaker. We believe Low6 is unique in that it partners with the sports team/franchises on a B2B model, reducing player/user acquisition costs, strengthening brand and customer loyalty, thereby reducing marketing costs and enhancing player retention."
