The total purchase consideration also includes a payment of up to €7,600,000 (approximately $8,971,519 using exchange rates in effect at the acquisition date) of contingent share consideration should a specific ambassador agreement be successfully assigned to Bethard following the acquisition date.
The cash portion of the purchase consideration for the Bethard Business 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 debt 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 upon maturity of the Convertible Note is $37,100,000, representing a 6% premium to the Original Principal Amount, and this premium 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 Bethard Business as if the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and year ended June 30, 2020 give effect to the acquisition of the Bethard Business by the Company on July 1, 2019.
The Company and the Bethard Business have different fiscal year-ends. The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30, whereas the fiscal year end of the Bethard Business ends 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 unaudited condensed balance sheet of the Bethard Business 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 results of the Bethard Business for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 as derived from the historical condensed statement of operations of Bethard Group Limited. The historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of Bethard Group Limited for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 was determined by adding the historical audited statement of operations of Bethard Group Limited for the year December 31, 2020 and subtracting the historical condensed statement of operations 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 Bethard Business for the year ended March 31, 2020, as derived from the historical condensed statement of operations of Bethard Group Limited. The historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of Bethard Group Limited for the year ended March 31, 2020 was determined by adding the historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of Bethard Group Limited for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to its historical audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, and then subtracting the historical unaudited condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The acquisition of the Bethard Business 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 Bethard Business. 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 accounting policies of the Bethard Business in order to determine if differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification to the results of operations of the Bethard Business, 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.
Note 4 – Estimated Preliminary Purchase Consideration

Contingent share consideration | | | 8,971,519 | |
Total estimated preliminary purchase consideration | | $ | 36,334,697 | |
The preliminary estimated contingent cash consideration assumes a cash payment equal to 15% of net gaming revenue for the Bethard Business through the Additional Payment Due Date, estimated to be three months, then reverting to 12% thereafter for the remainder of a two-year period following the acquisition date. The preliminary estimated contingent cash consideration is calculated using the applicable percentages applied to historical net gaming revenue of the Bethard Business for the year ended March 31, 2020 and the annualized revenues of the Bethard Business for the nine month period ended December 31, 2020.
The preliminary estimated contingent share consideration “assumes” in a maximum payout of the contingent share consideration. The sellers of the Bethard Business have up to 6 months to successfully assign the ambassador agreement to receive the contingent share consideration. After 6 months, the contingent share consideration is reduced by €422,222 for each month the contract is not assigned to the Company through the 24 month anniversary. The share consideration included in the total estimated preliminary purchase consideration are estimated using the exchange rates at the date of acquisition. The share consideration is not payable until the 24 month anniversary following the acquisition of the Bethard Business and therefore the contingent share consideration is classified as a noncurrent liability.
The total estimated preliminary purchase consideration may change materially in connection the work being performed by a third-party valuation specialist to determine the fair value of the contingent cash consideration, contingent share consideration, and fair value of service agreements signed during the acquisition period for post-combination services provided by the sellers. The contingent share consideration may also change materially as the Company concludes as to the likelihood that the ambassador agreement can be successfully assigned to the Company.
