Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “Golden Matrix”, “we” and “us”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 9, 2024, effective on April 1, 2024, we closed the transactions contemplated by that certain Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital dated January 11, 2023 (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Aleksandar Milovanović (“Milovanović”), Zoran Milošević (“Milošević”) and Snežana Božović (“Božović”, and collectively with Milovanović and Milošević, the “Sellers”), the former owners of Meridian Tech Društvo Sa Ograničenom Odgovornošću Beograd, a private limited company formed and registered in and under the laws of the Republic of Serbia (“Meridian Serbia”); Društvo Sa Ograničenom Odgovornošću “Meridianbet” Društvo Za Proizvodnju, Promet Roba I Usluga, Export Import Podgorica, a private limited company formed and registered in and under the laws of Montenegro; Meridian Gaming Holdings Ltd., a company formed and registered in the Republic of Malta; and Meridian Gaming (Cy) Ltd, a company formed and registered in the republic of Cyprus (collectively, “MeridianBet Group”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on April 9, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), and effective on April 1, 2024, we acquired 100% of MeridianBet Group.
Božović is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company; Milošević is the Chief Executive Officer of MeridianBet Group and Milovanović is a greater than 5% stockholder of the Company.
As part of the consideration for the acquisition, we agreed to pay the Sellers, among other consideration, (a) a total of $10,000,000 twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “12 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration”); and (b) a total of $10,000,000 eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “18 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration”).
On, and effective on, August 21, 2025, we and the Sellers entered into a Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital (the “Sevent Amendment”), which amended the Purchase Agreement to (a) confirm that $9,700,000 of the 12 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration had already been paid by the Company subsequent to the Closing Date and prior to August 21, 2025; (b) confirm that $100,7000 of the 18 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration had already been paid by the Company subsequent to the Closing Date and prior to August 21, 2025; (c) provide that a total of: (i) $200,000 of 18 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration owed to Milovanović would be converted into common stock of the Company, pursuant to a separate Post-Closing Cash Consideration Conversion Agreement entered into between the Company and the Sellers on or around August 21, 2025 (the “Cash Conversion Agreement”), and (ii) provide that $30,000 owed to Milošević and $30,000 owed to Božović of the 12 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration would be converted into common stock of the Company, pursuant to the Cash Conversion Agreement; and (c) provide that the remaining unpaid amount of the 12 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration and 18 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration owed to the Sellers would be due and payable by the Company on or before October 9, 2025.
Post-Closing Cash Consideration Conversion Agreement
Also on August 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Post-Closing Cash Conversion Agreement with Milovanović, Milošević and Božović.
Pursuant to the Cash Conversion Agreement, the Company and (a) Milovanović agreed to convert an aggregate of $200,000 of 18 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration payable to Milovanović by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, into 115,038 shares of common stock of the Company, based on a conversion price of $1.29 per share; (b) Milošević agreed to convert an aggregate of $30,000 of the 12 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration payable to Milošević by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement into 22,556 shares of common stock of the Company, and (c) Božović agreed to convert an aggregate of $30,000 of the 12 Month Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration payable to Božović by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement into 22,556 shares of common stock of the Company, each based on a conversion price of $1.33 per share, which was greater than the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the date the agreement became binding on all parties.
Collectively, the shares of common stock issuable to the Sellers pursuant to the Cash Conversion Agreement, the “Post-Closing Cash Conversion Shares”.
Pursuant to the Cash Conversion Agreement, which included customary representations and warranties of the parties, the Sellers agreed that the shares of common stock issuable in connection therewith were in full and complete satisfaction of the portions of the applicable non-contingent post-closing cash consideration payable to such persons.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information and disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 above are incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference in their entirety.
The Company claims an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the issuance of the Post-Closing Cash Conversion Shares, since the offer and sale of such securities did not involve a public offering and the recipients were “accredited investors”. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the securities will contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
