Over the past year, SEGG Media has used acquisitions to build a diversified sports, gaming, and entertainment platform. Deals included majority or controlling stakes in content and platform assets such as GXR World Sports, Concerts.com and TicketStub.com, Veloce-related assets, Racing Women, and Ant Media & Productions. Despite strategic framing, the stock often declined after these acquisition headlines. Today’s 90-day plan update, which targets closing Veloce, Nook, and Ant Media in Q1, builds directly on those earlier agreements.

Veloce, Nook, and Ant Media Transactions Expected to Close in Q1
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) (the “Company” or “SEGG Media”), the global sports, entertainment, and gaming group, today provided an update on its previously announced 90-day execution plan, reaffirming its near-term focus on completing announced acquisitions, strengthening core operations, and allocating capital with discipline and accountability.
As part of the Company’s execution roadmap, SEGG Media expects to close on the acquisition of a controlling interest in Veloce Esports Limited (“Veloce”) in February, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company also expects to complete the acquisition of Nook Holdings, Limited (“Nook”) in March, further advancing its strategy of assembling cash-generative and strategically aligned operating assets. After a review of the proposed acquisition of controlling interest in Ant Media & Productions, the Company added completion of the transaction to its 90-day execution plan and projects closure before the end of March.
These transactions represent the cornerstone acquisition priorities of the Company’s 90-day plan and reflect management’s commitment to converting previously announced initiatives into completed, revenue-producing operations.
Marc Bircham, Chairman of the SEGG Media Board of Directors, said, “The Company is laser-focused on delivery. We have narrowed our priorities to a defined set of transactions and operational objectives, and we are executing against them with clear timelines and accountability. Closing these acquisitions is a critical step toward building a stable, scalable platform for long-term value creation.”
The Company’s 90-day plan continues to prioritize the following initiatives:
- Completion of the Veloce acquisition, including the remaining tranches required to achieve controlling interest and begin consolidation and integration planning. The transaction, valuing Veloce at
$53 million pre-money, marks a pivotal step forward in the SEGG Media’s international expansion strategy. Funds from the Company’s previous payments for Tranche 1 have already been deployed to drive key initiatives, including Veloce’s acquisition of the creator-led content, motorsport, and apparel brand Quadrant, co-founded by Formula 1 driver and winner of the 2025 World Championship, Lando Norris. - Completion of the Nook acquisition, expected in March, further strengthening the Company’s operating portfolio. Nook supports professionals in the sports, fitness, and wellness industry. With its exclusive partnership with Dubai's DMCC Free Zone, Nook offers a wide range of services, including business setup support, insurance, VAT registration, and networking opportunities for like-minded sports entrepreneurs, and establishes a physical presence in the MENA region that supports the Company’s long-term growth strategy. Nook is a profitable enterprise and is projected to open a second location in mid-2026.
- Targeted investment in international operations, beginning with Mexico, to support existing infrastructure and measured expansion.
- Completion of the acquisition of controlling interest in Ant Media & Productions Ltd., expected to close by the end of Q1. Once completed, the proposed acquisition will see Sports.com Studios become the exclusive global streaming partner, excluding MENA, for the highly anticipated “Special Forces Trilogy” a 10-episode, high-octane reality series produced in collaboration with Ti22 Films and OSN.
- General operational improvements, continuing to enhance financial controls with implementation of a new accounting system, execution discipline, accountability, and reinforcing internal processes aligned with public-company standards.
The Company reiterated that initiatives not expressly included in the 90-day plan will only be pursued if management determines that utilizing an existing funding source would provide a clear and measurable benefit to the Company’s financial position sufficient to offset any potential shareholder dilution.
Robert Stubblefield, Chief Financial Officer & [Interim] President & Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our objective is straightforward: complete the transactions we have announced, integrate them responsibly, and operate the business with proper financial oversight and discipline. The timelines we are sharing today reflect executable plans, not aspirational targets. We believe this approach is essential to restoring credibility and building sustainable shareholder value.
“January was a busy month for the Company. We unwound several proposed transactions which did not fit with the Company’s strategy and chose to pursue only opportunities which are cash-generative and provide both short and long-term value. We exited two potentially highly dilutive funding arrangements in favor of alternatives which provide more favorable commercial terms. As the month wrapped up this week we have completed the Company’s name change and achieved a significant legal victory.
The Company expects to provide additional updates as material milestones within the 90-day plan are achieved.
