Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Equity Distribution Agreement
On November 22, 2024, Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC ("Craig-Hallum").
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company may sell, at its option, up to an aggregate of $20 million in shares of its common stock through Craig-Hallum, as sales agent. Sales of the common stock made pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, if any, will be made under the Company's effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264446) filed on April 22, 2022, which was declared effective on May 3, 2022 (the "Registration Statement"). The Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated November 22, 2024 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), to the prospectus, dated May 3, 2022, included in the Registration Statement, with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the shares of common stock to be sold pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.
Prior to any sales under the Distribution Agreement, the Company will deliver a placement notice to Craig-Hallum that will set the parameters for such sale of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, Craig-Hallum may sell the shares, if any, only by methods deemed to be an "at the market" offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly through The Nasdaq Capital Market, by means of ordinary brokers' transactions, in negotiated transactions, to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices and/or any other method permitted by law. Craig-Hallum will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement and any applicable placement notice.
The Company is not obligated to sell, and the Agent is not obligated to buy or sell, any shares of common stock under the Distribution Agreement. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any shares of common stock under the Distribution Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of shares of common stock that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place.
The Company will pay Craig-Hallum a commission equal to 3.00% of any gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company's common stock under the Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company also provided Craig-Hallum with customary indemnification rights and has agreed to reimburse Craig-Hallum for certain specified expenses up to $50,000, plus up to $5,000 for each future quarterly period that the Distribution Agreement remains in place. The offering of common stock pursuant to the Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of the common stock subject to the Distribution Agreement and (ii) the termination of the Distribution Agreement by the Company or Craig-Hallum. Either party may terminate the agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon written notice to the other party.
The Company currently anticipates that the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered under the Registration Statement will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, working capital and capital expenditures.
