Reverse Split. On January 16, 2026, the Company filed an amendment (the “2026 Amendment”) to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share at a ratio of 1-for-12 (the “2026 Reverse Split”). The 2026 Amendment became effective on January 23, 2026. As a result of the 2026 Reverse Split, every 12 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock.

Misfits Acquisition

 

On March 16, 2026, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Misfits Purchase Agreement”) with Esports Now, LLC (“Misfits”), pursuant to which Misfits agreed to sell certain assets strictly constituting the Misfits Ads Business (the “Misfits Purchased Assets”) to the Company, and the Company agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the Misfits Purchased Assets (the “Misfits Acquisition”).

 

On March 20, 2026, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), followed by the filing of a definitive proxy statement with the SEC on April 2, 2026 (the “Misfits Proxy Statement”). The Misfits Proxy Statement solicited the approval of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,161,813 shares of common stock to be issued as consideration in connection with the Misfits Acquisition (the “Issuance Proposal”) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s shares present at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, scheduled for April 30, 2026 (the “Special Meeting”).

 

On April 30, 2026, at the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Issuance Proposal. On May 1, 2026 (the “Misfits Closing Date”), the Company and Misfits consummated the Misfits Acquisition (the “Misfits Closing”).

 

Misfits Acquisition Consideration

 

At the Misfits Closing, the Company paid the following consideration for the Misfits Purchased Assets: (i) a cash payment in the amount of $1.5 million (the “Misfits Closing Cash Consideration”), (ii) 26,768 shares of common stock (the “Misfits Closing Shares”), (iii) a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant to purchase 509,682 shares of common stock (the “Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant,” and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Misfits PFW Shares”), and (iv) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 536,450 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $18.00 (the “Misfits Warrant”, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Misfits Warrant, the “Misfits Warrant Shares”)(the Misfits Closing Shares, the Misfits PFW Shares, and the Misfits Warrant Shares collectively, the “Misfits Closing Share Consideration”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Misfits Purchase Agreement, on the one-year anniversary of the Misfits Closing, the Company will pay an additional cash payment in the amount of $300,000 (the “Delayed Cash Payment”).

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Misfits Purchase Agreement, on the one-year anniversary of the Misfits Closing, the Company may pay up to an aggregate of (i) $1.2 million in cash (the “Misfits Earnout Cash”), and (ii) 105,571 shares of common stock, or, upon the election of Misfits, Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 105,571 shares of common stock (the “Misfits Earnout Shares”, and collectively with the Misfits Earnout Cash, the “Misfits Earnout Consideration”). The Misfits Earnout Consideration will be payable to Misfits in connection with: (i) the achievement of certain gross profit milestones for the period beginning on the Misfits Closing Date until the date that is one year from the date of the Misfits Closing; and (ii) the Company’s market capitalization as of the one and two year anniversary of the Misfits Closing Date.

 

The Misfits Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, expire two years from the date of issuance, and have an initial exercise price of $18.00 (the “Initial Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events. The Misfits Warrants also contain a call feature, whereby, after the Company has registered the Misfits Warrant Shares on an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, and in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the Misfits Warrant from the holder at a price of $0.001 per share of common stock underlying the Misfits Warrant (the “Call Option”), in the event the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, is at or above $18.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days (the “Call Trigger”). The Company’s right to exercise the Call Option will begin on the day immediately following the Call Trigger until the day that is thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, by way of delivery of a notice to exercise the Call Option to the holders of the Misfits Warrants.

 

The exercise price of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant per underlying share of common stock is $0.001. Pursuant to the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant, a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause: (i) the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant, which percentage may be changed at the holder’s election to a higher or lower percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice to the Company. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, a holder of Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received had they exercised the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to the fundamental transaction.

 

The Misfits Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type.

 

Brand Partnership Agreement

 

In connection with the Misfits Closing and the entrance into the Misfits Purchase Agreement, the Company and Misfits entered into an exclusive brand partnership agreement dated May 1, 2026 (the “Brand Partnership Agreement”), pursuant to which Misfits agreed to grant certain preferred rights (the “Misfits Preferred Rights”) to the Company for purposes of selling brand partnerships where a third-party brand may be advertised (via sponsorships, marketing, brand endorsements, product placements, brand integrations and other similar associations) (collectively, “Partnerships”) in certain games in the Misfits Roblox game portfolio (the “Misfits Games”). The initial term of the Brand Partnership Agreement is one year, subject to extension by mutual agreement. The Brand Partnership Agreement may be terminated upon written notice by the parties.

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the closing of the Misfits Acquisition and the entrance into the Misfits Purchase Agreement, the Company and Misfits entered into a registration rights agreement dated May 1, 2026 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC on or prior to the 90th calendar day following the Misfits Closing Date, for purposes of registering the Misfits Closing Shares, the Misfits Warrant Shares, and the Misfits PFW Shares (the “Misfits Registration Statement”). The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time period set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, and to keep the Registration Statement effective until the date that all registrable securities covered by the Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144.
