BETMAKERS CONDUCTS A$12.5M PLACEMENT TO INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS

  • Firm commitments received for A$12.5M institutional placement (before costs) at A$0.10 per share

  • Share Purchase Plan (SPP) offer to be made to existing eligible shareholders to raise up to a further A$1.0M

  • The proceeds, together with existing cash reserves will allow BetMakers to execute on its growth plan, provide balance sheet strength and fund a potential strategic acquisition

BetMakers Technology Group Ltd (ASX: BET) (" BetMakers " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately A$12.5M (before costs) through an institutional placement (the " Placement "). Tekkorp Holdings LLC (“Tekkorp”), an entity controlled by the Company’s President, Matt Davey, has committed up to A$1.0M in the Placement (“Director Shares”) which is subject to shareholder approval. The Company will also conduct a share purchase plan (" SPP ") to raise up to a further A$1.0M (before costs) (the Placement and SPP are together, the " Capital Raise ").

Use of Proceeds

Proceeds from the Capital Raise are intended to be used to:

  • Repay all outstanding debt;

  • Fund content and access agreements, including payments in relation to New Jersey Fixed Odds;

  • Fund the potential strategic acquisition[1] of Las Vegas Dissemination Company (“ LVDC ”), the only provider of pari-mutuel wagering services in Nevada; and

  • Improve financial flexibility and working capital.

BetMakers CEO, Mr Jake Henson, commented:

“We are pleased with the strong support shown for the Company by both our existing shareholders and new institutional investors. Importantly, this capital raise ensures that BetMakers is well funded to pursue both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. With a strengthened balance sheet, extinguished debt, and additional working capital funding, we are well positioned to execute on our strategic objectives.”

Details of the Placement

Institutional Placement to raise approximately A$12.5 million via the issue of 125 million new fully paid ordinary shares (“ New Shares ”) at A$0.10 per New Share (“ Placement Price ”).

The Placement Price represents a:

  • 4.8% discount to the last traded price on 3 June 2025 (A$0.105)

  • 9.9% discount to the 10-day VWAP price (A$0.111)

capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (with the exception of the issue of the Director Shares, which is subject to shareholder approval).

The Placement is anticipated to settle on Wednesday, 11 June 2025.

Canaccord Genuity and Ord Minnett Ltd acted as joint lead managers to the Placement.

Details of the Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) to Shareholders

BetMakers will also offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to participate in a non-underwritten SPP to raise up to an additional A$1.0M (before costs).

Under the SPP, eligible BetMakers shareholders, being shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on BetMakers’ register as at 7:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 4 June 2025 (“ Eligible Shareholders ”), can apply for up to A$30,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“ SPP Shares ”) without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

SPP Shares will be issued at the same price as New Shares in the Placement, i.e. A$0.10 per SPP Share (“ SPP Issue Price ”). The SPP offer period will open on Tuesday, 17 June 2025 and is expected to close at 5:00pm (AEST) on Tuesday 1 July 2025 (unless extended or closed earlier at the discretion of the Company).

As the SPP is not underwritten, the SPP may raise more or less than A$1.0M. If applications received under the SPP are greater than A$1.0M, BetMakers may decide in its absolute discretion to accept applications (in whole or in part) that result in the SPP raising more than A$1.0M, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“ Corporations Act ”) and ASX Listing Rules.

In the event that less than A$1.0M is applied for under the SPP by Eligible Shareholders, the Directors may in their absolute discretion seek to place that number of SPP Shares at the SPP Issue Price to raise A$1.0M (before costs) when combined with the amount raised under the SPP (“ Shortfall Offer ”), subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

The terms and conditions of the SPP will be set out in the SPP Offer Booklet, which is expected to be released to the ASX on Tuesday, 17 June 2025. A letter to Eligible Shareholders will be dispatched to Eligible Shareholders via their preferred method of contact on the same date.
