ENGINE GAMING Announces Overnight Marketed OFFERing

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2023 / Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (GAME) ("Engine" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GAME)(TSXV:GAME) announces that it is commencing an overnight marketed offering (the "Offering") of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") of the Company at an issue price of US$1.25 per Subscription Receipt. The size of the Offering will be determined in the context of the market.

To show continued support, officers, directors and existing shareholders of Engine and GameSquare Esports Inc. (CSE:GSQ); (OTCQB:GMSQF); (FRA:29Q1) ("GameSquare") are expected to meaningfully participate in the Offering, including: Blue & Silver Ventures, Goff Capital, Stu Porter, Justin Kenna, Lou Schwartz, Tom Rogers, John Wilk, Paolo DiPasquale, Sean Horvath, and Jason Lake.

The Offering will be conducted on a "best efforts" basis by Roth Canada, Inc. (the "Agent"). The Agent will be granted an option to sell up to an additional 15% of the Subscription Receipts offered pursuant to the Offering on the same terms and conditions for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering.

As previously announced, Engine and GameSquare have entered into an arrangement agreement pursuant to which Engine will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of GameSquare (the "Transaction") at an exchange ratio of 0.08262 of a common share of Engine for each common share of GameSquare (subject to adjustment on Consolidation as discussed below). The plan of arrangement has received approval from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) and the Transaction was previously approved by shareholders of GameSquare and Engine.

On closing of the Transaction with GameSquare, the Subscription Receipts will automatically be exchanged on a one-to-one basis for common shares of the Company (subject to adjustment on Consolidation as discussed below) without any further action on the part of the holder and without payment of additional consideration. The Transaction is expected to close in the next two weeks subject to customary transaction closing conditions. The gross proceeds of the Offering will be held in escrow until the Transaction with GameSquare is closed.

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, it is expected that the Company will change its name to "GameSquare Inc." and the common shares of the Company will be consolidated (the "Consolidation") on a ratio to meet the minimum trading price requirement of Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq").

Closing of the Offering is expected to be during the week of April 3, 2023, and will be subject to a number of customary conditions including, but not ‎limited to, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and stock exchange approvals, including ‎approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and notification to Nasdaq, and the entering into of an agency agreement with the ‎Agent.

In connection with the Offering, the Company will file a prospectus supplement to its short form base shelf prospectus dated March 24, 2021 (the "base shelf prospectus"). The prospectus supplement will be filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada (except Québec), and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and, once filed, will form a part of the registration statement filed with the SEC on Form F-10, as amended (File No. 333-254719) under the U.S.-Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system. The Offering will be made in Canada only by means of the base shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement and in the United States only by means of the registration statement, including the base shelf prospectus, and prospectus supplement. Such documents do and will contain important information about the Offering. Copies of the base shelf prospectus, and the prospectus supplement when available, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and a copy of the registration statement, including the base shelf prospectus, and the prospectus supplement when available, can be found on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Copies of such documents may also be obtained from Roth Canada, Inc., Attn: Equity Capital Markets, 1921-130 King Street West, Toronto, ON M5X 2A2, Email: ECM@rothcanada.ca.

Prospective investors should read the base shelf prospectus and the prospectus supplement as well as the registration statement, and all documents incorporated by reference therein, before making an investment decision.
