Bragg Gaming Group Announces Private Placement With Participation from Insiders and Drayton International’s Matt Davey

Key Terms

subscription receipts financial

Subscription receipts are temporary securities sold to investors that act like a receipt for future shares or cash once certain conditions in a financing or acquisition are met; until those conditions are satisfied, the funds are held in trust. Think of them as a ticket you buy today that will convert into the actual product later or get you a refund if the event doesn’t happen. They matter to investors because they provide a way to participate in a deal now while limiting immediate ownership changes and risk until the outcome is confirmed.

warrant financial

A warrant is a time-limited financial contract that gives its holder the right to buy a company's shares at a set price before a specified date, like a coupon that lets you purchase stock at a fixed discount for a limited time. It matters to investors because warrants offer leveraged exposure to a stock’s upside and can dilute existing shareholders if exercised, so they affect potential gains and the company’s outstanding share count.

volume weighted average price financial

The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.

lock-up deed financial

A lock-up deed is a legal agreement in which major shareholders promise not to sell or transfer their shares for a fixed period after a stock offering or corporate transaction. It acts like a temporary parking brake on insider selling, reducing sudden supply of shares and helping stabilize the stock price; investors use it to gauge near-term share supply risk and management’s commitment to the company.

related party transaction financial

A related party transaction is any deal or transfer of value between a company and people or entities with close ties to it — such as executives, major owners, family members, or affiliated businesses. Investors watch these transactions because they can favor insiders over outside shareholders, skirt fair market pricing, or hide risks; like selling your car to a relative at a friendly price, they require clear disclosure and scrutiny to judge impact on value.

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 regulatory

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 is a securities regulation that sets rules for certain corporate deals—like mergers, asset sales, or related-party transactions—to protect minority shareholders by requiring extra disclosure, independent valuation and, in many cases, formal shareholder approval. Think of it as an impartial referee and checklist that forces companies to show the full playbook and get a vote or an independent price opinion, so investors can judge whether a proposed deal is fair and avoid being overridden by insiders.

restricted securities regulatory

Restricted securities are shares or other investment instruments that come with legal or contractual limits on when and how they can be sold, like stock given to founders or bought in a private offering. Think of them as assets in a locked box that can’t be freely traded until certain conditions — such as a waiting period, company registration, or specific approvals — are met. For investors this matters because restricted securities are less liquid and can affect timing, price, and perceived value when they eventually enter the market.

Rule 144(a)(3) regulatory

A provision of U.S. securities rules that creates a limited, regulated shortcut for reselling restricted shares obtained in private placements: it lets a broker-dealer facilitate a sale on behalf of a non‑affiliate seller without the seller having to meet all the usual resale conditions, as long as certain representations and procedural steps are followed. Investors care because it can create a quicker, clearer path to liquidity for previously locked-up securities, which can affect share supply and pricing.

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bragg Gaming Group (NASDAQ:BRAG; TSX:BRAG) (“Bragg” or the “Company”), a leading iGaming content and platform technology solutions provider, today announced that it expects to issue, by way of a non-brokered private placement, up to 751,445 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of US$1.73 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately US$1,300,000 (the “Offering”). The issue price of US$1.73 per Subscription Receipt is based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) on May 29, 2026.

Upon the satisfaction of the Release Conditions (as defined herein), each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without any further action or payment of any additional consideration therefor, subject to adjustments, for one Share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Share (a “Warrant Share”) for a period of 36 months (the “Warrant Expiry Date”) from the closing of the Transaction (as defined herein) at an exercise price of US$2.16 per Warrant Share, subject to acceleration as described below.

The Subscription Receipts and the aggregate gross proceeds are subject to escrow release conditions (the “Release Conditions”) including the completion or satisfaction of all material conditions precedent to the Company’s previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Drayton International (the “Transaction”).

In the event that the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) (or such other Canadian stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading) equals or exceeds a price that is 25% above the Warrant Exercise Price for 15 consecutive trading days, then Bragg, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the Warrant Expiry Date by issuing a press release (a “Warrant Acceleration Press Release”) and, in such case, the Warrant Expiry Date will be deemed to be 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the 30^th day following the issuance of the Warrant Acceleration Press Release. Any Warrant not exercised prior to the expiry of such 30-day notice period shall be forfeited and cancelled without compensation.

The net proceeds from the Offering will primarily be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Subscription Receipts, Shares, Warrants and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon conversion will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day after the closing of the Offering and will also be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may not be transferred or resold other than in compliance with an exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about June 19, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the TSX and the Nasdaq, and such further restrictions as may apply under foreign securities laws.

Each subscriber in the Offering shall, as a condition of receiving Shares and Warrants, enter into a lock-up deed (or equivalent undertaking) pursuant to which they shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise deal in their Shares, Warrants or Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, for up to four months following closing of the Transaction.

Insider Participation

In connection the Offering, (i) Robbie Bressler, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, intends to subscribe for up to 86,705 Subscription Receipts; (ii) Morten Tonnesen, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, intends to subscribe for up to 57,803 Subscription Receipts; and (iii) Thomas Winter, a director of the Company, intends to subscribe for up to 57,803 Subscription Receipts. The insider participation in the Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), for which the Company is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) thereof, as neither the fair market value of the securities to be issued to the insiders under the Offering nor the consideration to be paid by the insiders exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, in each case as determined under MI 61-101.

Furthermore, renowned gaming entrepreneur Matt Davey, Founder and Chairman of gaming-oriented investment fund, Tekkorp Capital, intends to subscribe for up to 115,607 Subscription Receipts. As previously announced, the Company intends to appoint Mr. Davey as Non-Executive Chairman of its board of directors upon completion of the Transaction. Upon completion of the Transaction and Offering, Mr. Davey is expected to hold approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The securities being offered have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration requirements and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
