LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GAN Limited (the “Company” or “GAN”) (NASDAQ: GAN), a leading North American B2B technology provider of real money internet gaming solutions and a leading International B2C operator of Internet sports betting, today announced that it has entered into an amendment to the merger agreement for the proposed merger of GAN and a subsidiary of SEGA SAMMY CREATION INC. (“SSC”), an affiliate of SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC. (“SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS”). The amendment extends the “End Date” of the merger agreement from February 7, 2025 to May 31, 2025. The End Date is the date on which a non-breaching party can elect to terminate the Merger Agreement by notice to the other party, if the closing has not yet occurred. The parties have entered into the amendment to give them additional time to complete the process of securing necessary approvals from regulatory gaming authorities. Except for the extension of the End Date, the terms of the merger agreement are unchanged. The closing of the merger remains subject to other customary closing conditions, and is now expected to occur in the second quarter of 2025. Seamus McGill, Chief Executive Officer of GAN, stated, “The parties continue to respond to regulatory requests. This process takes time, but we are making great progress and working with SEGA SAMMY in anticipation of a successful closing.” If the merger is completed, each GAN ordinary share issued immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $1.97 in cash with respect to each such ordinary share, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Upon the completion of the merger, GAN will cease to be a publicly-traded company and its ordinary shares will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
