Proposed Acquisition of Mobcrush Streaming, Inc.
On March 9, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “MC Merger Agreement”) by and among Mobcrush Streaming, Inc. (“Mobcrush”), the Company, and SLG Merger Sub II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Co”). The MC Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition of Mobcrush by Super League pursuant to the merger of Merger Co with and into Mobcrush, with Mobcrush as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, Mobcrush will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Subject to certain adjustments and other terms and conditions more specifically set forth in the MC Merger Agreement, we will be issuing 12,582,204 shares of the Company’s common stock as the Merger Consideration. The MC Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type. On April 20, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the MC Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”).
