GameSquare intends to use a portion of the proceeds to repay the outstanding equity line facility with Yorkville
GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (GAME), ("GameSquare", or the "Company"), today announced that it has entered into a $10 million convertible note transaction (the "Note") with Gigamoon Media, LLC, an investment entity controlled by Matt Kalish.
Under the terms of the transaction, the conversion date is December 31, 2025, at which time the note, at Gigamoon Media LLC's election, will convert into either shares of GameSquare's common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share, or 5.725 million shares of FaZe Media Series A-1 Preferred Stock beneficially held by GameSquare. GameSquare intends to use the proceeds from the convertible note to pay down GameSquare's existing equity line facility with an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global L.P ("Yorkville"), and for general corporate purposes.
Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare stated, "Over the past 12 months, we have successfully pursued shareholder friendly transactions that raise non-dilutive capital and today's announcement reflects a continuation on this approach. Our ability to raise $10 million of capital at a $2.50 conversion price demonstrates the meaningful opportunities strategic investors see in the platform we have created. I am also pleased to announce that we intend to repay the existing equity line facility with Yorkville. With a strengthened balance sheet and capital position, we believe we have the financial resources in place to support the growth strategies we are pursuing and to take advantage of growing demand trends currently underway across our global markets."
Matt Kalish of Gigamoon Media LLC stated, "I continue to be impressed by the execution of Justin Kenna and the team at GameSquare, and the amazing revival of the FaZe Clan brand since the return of CEO FaZe Banks and team. The combination of GameSquare's creator platforms and operational expertise, as well as the masterful work of Banks and the FaZe team have the companies extremely well positioned for the future. I look forward to continuing my support of GameSquare, FaZe Banks, and the entire FaZe Clan team as they continue in their journey to create the world's largest and most powerful creator-led internet media company."
If Kalish elects to convert the Note into the remaining shares of FaZe Media it would value the entity at approximately $44 million, compared to GameSquare's current market cap of approximately $32 million. GameSquare still owns 100% of FaZe esports.
