Management Change/Compensation Form 8 K

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Fourth 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 Milosevic and Snežana Božović (collectively, the "Sellers"), the 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, the "Meridian Companies"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and effective on April 1, 2024, we acquired 100% of the Meridian Companies.

As part of the consideration for the acquisition, the Sellers agreed to us deferring $18 million of the purchase price for the Meridian Companies until April 26, 2024 (the "Deferred Cash Consideration"), provided that if such amount was not paid by April 26, 2024, any unpaid amount was to accrue interest at the rate of three percent per annum (from the effective date of the closing (April 1, 2024) until paid in full). The Deferred Cash Consideration was not paid by April 26, 2024; however, on or around May 17th or May 20, 2024, a total of $11 million was paid to the Sellers, leaving a total of $7 million owed solely to Milovanović (the "Deferred Cash Consideration Payable").

On June 17, 2024, and effective on April 9, 2024, we and the Sellers entered into a Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital (the "Fourth Amendment"), which amended the Purchase Agreement to (a) clarify the previous payment of $11 million of the Deferred Cash Consideration to the Sellers on or around May 17th or May 20, 2024; (b) provide that $4 million of the Deferred Cash Consideration Payable would be satisfied by the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement, discussed below; (c) provide that $3 million of the Deferred Cash Consideration Payable would be satisfied by the entry into the Deferred Cash Convertible Promissory Note, discussed below; and (d) waive all interest which accrued on the $18 million of deferred cash consideration pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Debt Conversion Agreement

Also on June 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the "Debt Conversion Agreement") with Milovanović, one of the Sellers, and the 58.5% stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement the Company and Milovanović agreed to convert an aggregate of $4,000,000 of the Deferred Cash Consideration Payable into an aggregate of 1,333,333 shares of restricted common stock of the Company, based on a conversion price of $3.00 per share (the "Debt Conversion Shares").

Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement, which included customary representations and warranties of the parties, Milovanović agreed that the shares of common stock issuable in connection therewith were in full and complete satisfaction of $4 million of the Deferred Cash Consideration including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The issuance of the Debt Conversion Shares increases Milovanović's beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock to approximately 58.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Deferred Cash Convertible Promissory Note

The Deferred Cash Convertible Promissory Note with Milovanović (the "Convertible Note") has a principal balance of $3 million and does not accrue interest unless an event of default thereunder occurs and upon an event of default accrues interest at 12% per annum. The full amount of the Convertible Note is due and payable on December 17, 2025, unless earlier paid. Milovanović has the right, from time to time, to declare up to $2 million of the principal amount of the Convertible Note to be due and payable, prior to January 1, 2025, upon written notice to the Company, after which the Company has three days to pay such amount(s).

The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at any time, from time to time, at the option of Milovanović, with written notice to the Company, based on a conversion price, determined at the option of Milovanović of either (A) (i) the average closing sales price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq market over the thirty trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice; (ii) minus a discount of 15%; or (B) $3.00, subject to a floor of $2.00 per share.

The Convertible Note includes customary events of default, including (i) the nonpayment of any principal, interest or other indebtedness thereunder when due; (ii) the occurrence of any event of default or any default and the lapse of any notice or cure period, or the Company's failure to observe or perform any covenant or other agreement, under or contained in any transaction document or any other document now or in the future evidencing or securing any debt, liability or obligation of the Company to any holder, following any applicable cure period set forth in such applicable transaction document; (iii) if the Company is insolvent, or files or becomes the subject of a filing under any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and including any action or proceeding involving (A) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, (B) any levy, garnishment, attachment or similar action against its material property, or (C) the imposition of a receivership or trustee arrangement over the Company's property (a "Bankruptcy" action), provided that in the case of becoming subject to any involuntary state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or any involuntary action described in (B) and (C) above, the Company has sixty days to dismiss such filing or action described in (B) and (C) above, before such event shall be deemed an Event of Default (unless it fails to begin seeking dismissal within the first thirty days); (iv) a default with respect to any other indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money in an amount exceeding $1,000,000, if the effect of such default is to cause or permit the acceleration of such debt; (v) the commencement of any foreclosure or forfeiture proceeding, execution or attachment against any collateral securing the obligations of the Company to the holder, which is not dismissed within thirty days; (vi) the entry of a final non-appealable judgment against the Company in an amount exceeding $1,000,000, and the failure of the Company to discharge the judgment within 10 days of the entry thereof; (vii) any change in the Company's business, assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company; (viii) the Company ceases doing business as a going concern; (ix) any material representation or warranty made by the Company to the holder in any transaction document or any other documents now or in the future evidencing or securing the obligations of the Company to the holder of the Note, is false, erroneous or misleading in any material respect, following any applicable cure period set forth in such applicable transaction document; or (x) the revocation or attempted revocation, in whole or in part, of any payment obligation or guarantee by the Company.

The Convertible Note also requires us to indemnify Milovanović against certain claims, including (i) breach of a representation or warranty by the Company, (ii) breach by the Company of a transaction document; (c) negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct by the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any claim that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have been solely attributable to an indemnified party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity contained in the Convertible Note survives the termination of the Convertible Note.
