The Escrowed Shares will remain in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Share Transfers are also subject to the receipt of the required documentation from Computershare, the transfer agent for the Company.

Upon completion of the Share Transfers, Mr. Varanese will own or have control over 908,547 Ordinary Shares, representing 3% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Following the completion of this transaction, Mr. Varanese will become the third largest shareholder in the Company. The shareholdings of Lord Reading will be reduced from approximately 1.5% to 0% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, and the shareholdings of Mr. Gaston will be reduced from approximately 1.1% to 0% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Mr. Varanese is currently a member of eQube's Board of Directors. Mr. Varanese has over 20 years' experience in mergers and acquisitions in the resource and technology industries and has served as a partner in major international law firms based in New York and London. Since 2013, Mr. Varanese has been Chairman of Siren E&P Ltd., an upstream oil and gas company based in London. He is a graduate of Harvard University.

When speaking about eQube and the transaction, Mr. Varanese commented, "eQube has a great strategy and has already shown revenue growth progression both in existing and new markets through new contracts and the launch of new products. The Company has an experienced management team and is licensed in many key regulated gaming jurisdictions, including Las Vegas. Becoming a key shareholder of eQube at this early stage of its growth is very exciting."
