UPDATE ON WATERHOUSE AGREEMENT
Further to the announcement released on 28 January 2020 (“Previous Announcement”), the Board of BetMakers Technology Group Limited (“BetMakers” or “the Company”) (ASX:BET) advises that, following consultation with the ASX and Waterhouse VC[1] , the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, BetMakers DNA Pty Ltd (“BDnA”), have entered into a deed of variation to vary the terms of the performance rights (“Performance Rights”) to be issued to Waterhouse VC which will convert into options over ordinary shares in BetMakers (“Options”).
The full revised terms of the Performance Rights and Options are set out in the annexure to this announcement. The material variations to the terms of the Performance Rights include:
-
the Performance Rights will cover the MTS Agreement and App Agreement (each defined in the Previous Announcement) from the day after BET obtains shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights until 31 December 2022;
-
each Performance Right will be convertible into Options subject to the aggregate audited revenue generated under the App Agreement and the MTS Agreement (each defined in the Previous Announcement) (“Aggregate Revenue”) over the relevant Vesting Period being at least $100,000 (“Minimum Revenue Threshold”);
-
after the expiry of a Vesting Period, BET will have the Aggregate Revenue audited to confirm the number of Options to be issued on conversion of the relevant Performance Right; and
-
the maximum number of Options which may be issued to Waterhouse VC, in aggregate, on conversion of all Performance Rights is 94,741,686 Options (subject to any reorganisation of the issued share capital in BetMakers).
The App Agreement and the MTS Agreement remain conditional on shareholders approving the issue of the Performance Rights. An Appendix 3B will be released to the market today.

Annexure:
Performance Rights Terms
The material terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are as follows:
1. Vesting and Conversion
-
(a) Subject to the Minimum Revenue Threshold being achieved during the relevant Vesting Period, the relevant Performance Right will vest and, subject to clause 1(d), be converted into Options in accordance with clause 1(b).
-
(b) If the Minimum Revenue Threshold is achieved during the relevant Vesting Period (as applicable), subject to clause 1(d), the relevant Performance Right will vest on the applicable Vesting Date and convert into the number of Options (with fractional entitlements rounded up) calculated using the following formula for nil consideration:
A
B
Where:
-
A = total Revenue generated during the Vesting Period applicable to the Performance Right B = the Conversion Price
-
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if the Minimum Revenue Threshold is not met by the end of any Vesting Period, the relevant Performance Right applicable to that Vesting Period will not vest and will automatically lapse and be cancelled.
-
(d) The maximum number of Options which may be issued, in aggregate, to the holder on conversion of all Performance Rights is 94,741,686 Options ( Option Cap ). For the avoidance of doubt, if the holder is issued, in aggregate, an amount of Options equal to the Option Cap while any Performance Right remains unvested then no further Options may be issued in respect of those unvested Performance Rights and those unvested Performance Rights will automatically lapse and be cancelled.
By way of example, if the holder was issued:
-
60 million Options on conversion of the Class A Performance Right; and
-
30 million Options on conversion of the Class B Performance Right;
and during the Class C Vesting Period Betmakers ListCo generates $1 million in Revenue, then:
-
the Class C Performance Right will convert into 4,741,686 Options; and
-
the Class D Performance Right will automatically lapse and be cancelled.
2. Issue of Options
Following the vesting of a Performance Right, BetMakers Listco must issue the Options to the holder or at the holder’s direction within 5 Business Days.
3. General
-
(a) The Performance Rights will not be quoted on the ASX and will not otherwise be transferable. (b) The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder any right to participate in dividends or voting until Shares are allotted pursuant to the exercise of the Options in accordance with the terms and conditions of Schedule 2 to the Agreement.
-
(c) In the event of a reorganisation of the issued capital of BetMakers Listco, the Performance Rights and the Option Cap will be reorganised in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the Official Listing Rules of the ASX ( Listing Rules ) (if applicable) and in any case in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holder which are not conferred on shareholders of BetMakers Listco and for such purpose BetMakers Listco may vary the number or other terms of the Performance Rights in such manner as may be necessary to comply with the Listing Rules.
-
(d) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Performance Rights and the holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the Performance Rights.
-
(e) The Performance Rights do not confer the right to an increase in the number of Options which the holder of the Performance right would receive as a result of a bonus issue.
2
(f) A Performance Right does not confer the right to a change in conversion price or a change in the number of underlying Options or Shares into which the Performance Right can be converted other than as provided in these Terms.
- (g) If at any time the issued capital of BetMakers Listco is reorganised, all rights of a holder (including the Option Cap) are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.
