(Nasdaq: SLE), (“Super League,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading creator and publisher of content experiences and media solutions across the world’s largest immersive platforms. From open gaming powerhouses such as Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite Creative, to bespoke worlds built using the most advanced 3D creation tools, Super League’s innovative solutions provide incomparable access to massive audiences who gather in immersive digital spaces to socialize, play, explore, collaborate, shop, learn and create. As a true end-to-end activation partner for dozens of global brands, Super League offers a complete range of development, distribution, monetization and optimization capabilities designed to engage users through dynamic, energized programs. As an originator of new experiences fueled by a network of top developers, a comprehensive set of proprietary creator tools and a future-forward team of creative professionals, Super League accelerates intellectual property (“IP”) and audience success within the fastest growing sector of the media industry.

 

Super League was incorporated on October 1, 2014 as Nth Games, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware and changed its name to Super League Gaming, Inc. on June 15, 2015, and to Super League Enterprise, Inc. on September 11, 2023. We are an “emerging growth company” as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended.

 

On September 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “2023 Second Amendment”) to the Charter, which Second Amendment became effective as of September 11, 2023, to change the name of the Company from Super League Gaming, Inc. to Super League Enterprise, Inc. (the “Name Change”) and to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Split”). The Name Change and the Reverse Split were approved by the Company’s Board on July 5, 2023, and approved by the stockholders of the Company on September 7, 2023. Refer to Note 7 below for additional information regarding the Reverse Split. In connection with the Name Change, the Company also changed its Nasdaq ticker symbol to “SLE” from “SLGG.”

 

All references to common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements (hereinafter, “consolidated financial statements”) have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Split for all periods presented.

Sale of Minehut

 

On February 29, 2024, the Company sold its Minehut related assets (“Minehut Assets”) to GamerSafer, Inc. (“GamerSafer”), in a transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by and between GamerSafer and the Company on February 26, 2024 (the “GS Agreement”), the Company will receive $1.0 million of purchase consideration (“Purchase Consideration”) for the Minehut Assets, which amount will be paid by GamerSafer in revenue and royalty sharing over a multiple year period, as described in the GS Agreement (the “Minehut Sale”). Other than with respect to the GS Agreement, there is no relationship between the Company or its affiliates with GamerSafer or its affiliates.

 

The transaction allows Super League to streamline its position in partnering with major brands to build, market, and operate 3D experiences across multiple immersive platforms, including open gaming powerhouses like Minecraft, and aligns with the Company’s cost improvement initiatives. Super League and GamerSafer will maintain a commercial relationship which ensures that Minehut can remain an ongoing destination available to Super League’s partners.
