Note 1 - Description of Transaction
On June 1, 2021, Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of the issued and outstanding membership units of ggCIRCUIT LLC (“GGC”). The acquisition was completed in accordance with the equity purchase agreement dated January 22, 2021 (“GGC Purchase Agreement”) and amended on May 21, 2021. GGC offers proprietary software management and rewards platforms for esports gaming centers and connects player communities with publishers and product manufacturers. The total consideration paid at closing was $26,000,000, with $14,100,000 paid in cash at closing and $900,000 paid through application of loans receivable from GGC, inclusive of operating advances, toward the purchase consideration. The Company also issued 830,189 shares common stock at closing using a value per share $13.25 pursuant to the GGC Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the share consideration paid at closing was determined to be $9,273,211 using the closing share price of the Company on the date of acquisition. The purchase consideration of GGC has been adjusted by $1,200,000 representing amounts paid a closing and deposited in escrow that is contingent upon continued employment of certain selling shareholders. The purchase consideration was determined to be $23,073,211, excluding cash paid at closing that is contingent upon employee retention that will be recognized as compensation expense over the relevant service period.
On June 1, 2021, Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of the issued and outstanding membership units of Helix Holdings, LLC (“Helix”). The acquisition was completed in accordance with the equity purchase agreement dated January 22, 2021 (“Helix Purchase Agreement”) and amended on May 21, 2021. Helix is an owner and operator of esports centers providing esports programming and gaming infrastructure, and is also the owner of the esports analytics platform, Genji Analytics, and LANduel, a proprietary player-versus-player esports wagering platform. The total consideration paid at closing was $17,000,000, with $9,400,000 paid in cash and $600,000 paid through application of loans receivable from Helix, inclusive of operating advances, toward the purchase consideration. The Company also issued 528,302 shares of common stock at closing using a value per share of $13.25 pursuant to the Helix Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the share consideration paid at closing to be $5,901,133 using the closing share price of the Company on the date of acquisition. The purchase consideration of Helix has been adjusted by $1,609,349 representing amounts paid at closing and deposited in escrow that is contingent upon continued employment of certain selling shareholders. The purchase consideration was determined to be $14,291,784, excluding cash paid at closing that is contingent upon employee retention that will be recognized as compensation expense over the relevant service period.
The cash portion of the purchase price of the Helix and GGC (collectively, “the Acquired Companies”) was financed by the Company with available cash and through the issuance of a Senior Convertible Note (“Convertible Note”) on June 2, 2021, with an original principal amount (“Original Principal Amount”) of $35,000,000. The Company received proceeds of $32.5 million upon issuance of the Convertible Note, net of debit issuance costs of $2.5 million. The Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and matures two years following the date of issuance on June 2, 2023. The principal balance due at maturity on the Convertible Note is $37,100,000, representing a 6% premium to the Original Principal Amount that is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Note. The Convertible Note is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $17.50 per share.
The Convertible Note was issued with 2,000,000 Series A warrants and 2,000,000 Series B warrants. The Series A warrants were determined to be freestanding warrants because they are legally detachable and separately exercisable. The Series B warrants do not become exercisable until such time as the Convertible Note is redeemed by the Company. The Convertible Note and the Series B warrants were determined to be substantially equivalent to one convertible debt instrument. The Series A and B warrants have an exercise price of $17.50 and the warrants are callable by the Company should the volume weighted average share price of the Company exceed $32.50 for each of 30 consecutive trading days following the date such warrants become eligible for exercise.
Note 2 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the purchase of the Acquired Companies as if the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2020 and the nine months ended March 31, 2021 give effect to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies by the Company on July 1, 2019.
The Company and The Acquired Companies have different fiscal year-ends. The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30, whereas The Acquired Companies’ fiscal years end on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared utilizing period ends that are within 93 days, as permitted by Rule 11-02 Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Acquired Companies at March 31, 2021.
The historical unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 combines the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 with the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of the Acquired Companies for the year ended December 31, 2020 and then subtracting the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The historical unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2020 combines the Company’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2020 with the results of the Acquired Companies derived by adding the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Acquired Companies for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to its historical audited consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019, and then subtracting the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The Acquired Companies Purchase was determined to qualify as a business combination. The acquisition accounting included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is preliminary and will change in connection with the work being performed by a third-party valuation specialist. While the Company has engaged a valuation specialist to estimate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, the valuation requires the Company to provide additional information to determine preliminary values. As a result, differences between the acquisition accounting included in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting could be material.
The Convertible Note also contains a conversion feature and was issued with Series A freestanding warrants that were determined to be liability classified. A determination of fair value for the conversion feature and fair value applicable to the Series A freestanding warrants by the third-party valuation specialist may further result in an increase to the debt discount on the convertible notes and result in additional interest expense resulting from the amortization of the debt discount. In additional, changes to the fair value of the liability classified Series A warrants may further result in income statement volatility. The changes resulting from the determination of a fair value for these features by a third-party valuation specialist could be material.
Note 3 – Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company may vary materially from those of the Acquired Companies. During preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the Company has performed a preliminary analysis and is not aware of any material differences, and accordingly, this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes no material differences in accounting policies between the two companies other than the pro forma reclassifications detailed in Note 5. Following the acquisition date, the Company will conduct a final review of The Acquired Companies’ accounting policies in order to determine if differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification of the Acquired Companies’ results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to the accounting policies and classifications of the Company. As a result of this review, the Company may identify differences that when adjusted or reclassified, could have a material impact on this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
