Emerge Secures $4.7M from Option Exercise Underwriting

Emerge Gaming Limited (ASX: EM1) (“Emerge” or the “Company” ), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option exercise underwriting agreement (“Underwriting Agreement”) with Evolution Capital Advisors Pty Ltd (“Underwriter”) to secure commitments to fully underwrite the exercise of 237,091,175 listed EM1O options (“Options”) exercisable at $0.02 with an expiry date of 18 April 2021. This represents an underwriting amount of up to ~$4,741,823 (“Underwritten Amount”).

The Underwriter has received commitments from several (who are mainly institutional and sophisticated investors) of the Company's top 20 shareholders, to take up the vast majority of any unexercised options. The number of Options underwritten excludes the holdings of the Directors – each of the Directors intend to exercise their respective option holdings.

Any shares to be issued on exercise of the Options by the Underwriter are expected to be issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 10) and therefore shareholder approval will not be sought. The Underwriting Agreement contains indemnities and warranties usual for an agreement of this nature with material terms and condition set out in the Annexure to this announcement.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.11.3, the Company advises that the Underwriter is not a related party of the Company; and a management fee of 4% of the Underwritten Amount and an unwriting fee of 2% of the Underwritten Amount will be payable by the Company to the Underwriter (provided the Underwriting Agreement is not terminated). In addition, the Company will issue the Underwriter unlisted options as follows:

  • 6,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.07 per options expiring 4 years from date of issue;

  • 6,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.09 per options expiring 4 years from date of issue;

  • 6,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.12 per options expiring 4 years from date of issue.

Funds raised will further strengthen Emerge’s balance sheet and to help fund the Company’s plans to expand the growth and reach of its eSports tournament platforms including the roll of new features, cloud gaming and opening new channels with other affiliate networks.
