Arrangement Agreement
On December 7, 2022, GameSquare Esports Inc. (“GSQ”) and the Issuer (then known as Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (“Engine”)), entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Engine to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of GSQ in an all-stock transaction at the effective time of the Arrangement Agreement (the “Merger”), with the combined publicly-traded entity, which is the Issuer, retaining the name GameSquare Holdings, Inc. On April 11, 2023, upon the closing of the Merger and the simultaneous 4-to-1 reverse stock split, each outstanding share of GSQ, was converted into 0.020655 Common Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Issuer, the surviving company after the Merger, representing voting and economic rights in the Issuer. Each outstanding warrant and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) of GSQ was adjusted pursuant to its governing contractual instrument to entitle the holder to receive, upon due exercise, Common Shares, adjusted on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

Agency Agreement
On April 6, 2023, Blue & Silver acquired 383,973 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”), in connection with its participation in the Issuer’s public distribution (the “Offering”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agency agreement dated March 31, 2023 (the “Agency Agreement”) between Engine and Roth Canada, Inc. (the “Agent”) for $1.25 per Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to automatically receive, upon closing of the Offering, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration, one Common Share. Effective upon the closing of the Offering, the Subscription Receipts held by Blue & Silver were canceled in exchange for Blue & Silver acquiring an equal number of Common Shares corresponding to the number of Subscription Receipts held by Blue & Silver. Effective upon the closing of the Merger, the 383,973 Common Shares held by Blue & Silver as a result of the Agency Agreement were exchanged for 95,993 Common Shares.
