Rhea-AI Filing Summary

GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (ticker GAME) has approved and implemented a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its common stock. A Certificate of Amendment was filed in Delaware to effect the split, which becomes effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2026. At that time, every eight issued and outstanding common shares will automatically combine into one share, with no change to the $0.0001 par value. Stockholders who would otherwise receive a fractional share will instead receive one whole share, so no fractional shares will be issued. GameSquare expects trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market to begin on a split-adjusted basis at market open on August 24, 2026, under a new CUSIP 36468G202. The reverse split will reduce issued and outstanding common shares from approximately 102,271,871 to approximately 12,783,983, while leaving the number of authorized shares unchanged, and will proportionately adjust outstanding convertible securities, warrants, options and RSUs.

Filing Explained

On August 24, the reverse split will proportionately reduce shares covered by active registration statements; it does not itself sell shares.

At the August 24 effective time, the company will proportionately reduce the shares covered by its active Form S-3, S-1 and S-8 registration statements; this changes registered coverage, not issued shares.

Form S-3 and S-1 registrations provide a framework for future securities offerings, so registration alone does not mean that shares have been sold or that proceeds have been received.

Reverse Stock Split financial
"to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-8"
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
Certificate of Amendment regulatory
"filed a Certificate of Amendment to the First Amended and Restated Certificate"
A certificate of amendment is an official filing that updates a company’s founding documents—its legal “rulebook” that sets share structure, voting rules, name and basic purpose. Think of it like changing the blueprint of a building: small changes are paperwork, big ones can alter who owns how much and who controls decisions. Investors watch these filings because they can affect share counts, voting power, dilution and company value.
Registration Statements regulatory
"The Company has registration statements on Form S-3, Form S-1 and Form S-8"
Registration statements are detailed documents companies file with securities regulators when they plan to offer shares or other securities to the public. They act like a recipe and instruction manual, listing a company’s business, finances, management, risks and how the offering will work, so investors can judge value and potential downsides. For investors, these filings provide the official, legally required facts needed to make informed decisions and spot warning signs.
Rule 416(b) regulatory
"Pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended"
Nasdaq Capital Market market
"Trading of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis"
The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.

Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On August 18, 2026, GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

The Certificate of Amendment provides that the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), at which time every eight (8) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Certificate of Amendment provides that in the event a stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Common Stock, such stockholder shall receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share and no fractional shares shall be issued.

 

Trading of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis will commence at market open on August 24, 2026. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 36468G202.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be decreased from approximately 102,271,871 pre-split shares to approximately 12,783,983 post-split shares, subject to adjustment for fractional shares. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will apply to the Company’s outstanding convertible securities, warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. The number of shares of Common Stock into which these outstanding securities are convertible or exercisable will be adjusted proportionately as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The conversion prices of any outstanding convertible securities and the exercise prices of any outstanding warrants or stock options will also be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms of those securities and the Company’s equity incentive plans.

 

As previously announced, on August 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split proposal at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-8, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its discretion without further approval from the Company’s stockholders. Subsequently on August 14, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved the final reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”).
