Jackpot Announces Terms of Spin-out Aimed at Entering the Regulated iGaming Markets

Jackpot Digital Inc. (the "Company" or "Jackpot") (TSXV:JJ)(TSXV:JJ.WT.A)(TSXV:JJ.WT.B)(TSXV:JJ.WT.C)(OTCQB:JPOTF)(Frankfurt:LVH3)(Berlin:LVH3). Further to the Company's news releases of February 19 and March 26, 2021, Jackpot is pleased to announce additional terms of a proposed strategic reorganization of its business by way of a spin-out of its online gaming software assets (the "Spin-Out") to a newly incorporated subsidiary of Jackpot ("Spinco"). The Spin-Out will be completed as a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"). The assets to be transferred to Spinco will include proprietary software Jackpot already owns as well as any additional software assets that may be acquired by Jackpot through a partnership or license arrangement before closing of the Spin-Out (the "Online Gaming Assets"). In consideration of the transfer of the Online Gaming Assets, Spinco will issue common shares (the "Spinco Shares") to Jackpot. Jackpot will distribute the Spinco Shares to its registered shareholders as of the record date of July 21, 2021. Each registered shareholder of Jackpot on the record date will receive one Spinco Share for every five common shares of Jackpot held by the registered shareholder. The number of Spinco Shares to be issued will be based on the number of outstanding Jackpot common shares ("Jackpot Shares") as of the record date

The purpose of the Spin-Out will be to leverage and monetize the Company's Online Gaming Assets and commercial relationships in the gaming sector. Management believes that holding the Online Gaming Assets in a separate public company offers benefits to the Company and to its shareholders, including:

  • The Spin-Out will allow a more streamlined regulatory process by separating the Company's respective business operations.
  • Spinco will be able to attract specialized management to run the online gaming operations.
  • Jackpot can avoid dilution of Jackpot Shares held by its shareholders that would result from financing its online gaming business in the Company.
  • Holding the Online Gaming Assets in Spinco will accelerate development of the online gaming business and product offerings.
  • The Spin-Out is expected to maximize shareholder value by allowing the market to value separately the Company's business of producing and selling gaming tables and the Spinco's business of developing and monetizing the online gaming business.
  • Jackpot and Spinco will be more readily understood by public investors, which will allow each company to be better positioned to raise capital and align management and employee incentives with the interests of their shareholders.

President & CEO Mr. Jake Kalpakian, states "We are very excited to enter into the regulated iGaming/online casino and sportsbook markets in North America. As a result of our Jackpot BlitzTM product, we have existing and unique industry relationships and, coupled with targeted niche markets and our innovative products, we have every expectation to become a fun-filled industry leading iGaming brand".

Mr. Kalpakian further states, "More details regarding the products, names/websites and launch dates will follow within the next month".

Spinco will initially have the same directors as Jackpot. Jackpot's CEO Jake Kalpakian will also be Spinco's CEO and Jackpot's CFO Neil Spellman will also be Spinco's CFO.

The Spin-Out remains conditional on, among other things (1) shareholders of the Company holding at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Jackpot Shares approving the Spin-Out, (2) approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and (3) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Additional details of the Spin-Out will be included in an information circular to be mailed to shareholders of Jackpot in connection with the Company's shareholders' special meeting to be held on or about September 16, 2021. If all conditions for completion of the Spin-Out are fulfilled, the strategic reorganization is expected to close on or about September 22, 2021.

Sona Nanotech Updates on Dalhousie Efficacy Study and New NCL Results

Sona Nanotech Updates on Dalhousie Efficacy Study and New NCL Results

Sona Nanotech Inc. (CSE: SONA) (OTCQB: SNANF) (the "Company" or "Sona") announces positive interim results from its study with The Giacomantonio Immuno-Oncology Research Group at Dalhousie University (the "Study"). An update received by the Company indicates that all tumors treated within the Study to date with a single Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy ("THT") treatment shrunk within the first 24 hours, with an average reduction in size of 80% compared to matched controls.

Study Principal Investigator, Dr. Carman Giacomantonio, comments, "Our initial assessment documented that in cohorts of seven animals, 7/7 of treated triple negative breast cancer mouse tumors bearing gold nanorods responded with an average reduction in tumor volume of 80% following a single treatment with near infrared light in comparison with untreated 'control' tumors. Interestingly, in all cases we observed responses (tumor shrinkage) in distant, untreated tumors supporting the hypothesis that our observations are consistent with systemic immunogenic responses. This observation will be a significant focus of our research going forward. While we are encouraged by these initial results, there is still significant work to be completed. The studies are designed to enable and identify statistical significance which will be achieved with the completion of the full Study."
