CALGARY, AB and ISLE OF MAN, March 9, 2021 /CNW/ - Real Luck Group Ltd.

The Offering consisted of a brokered portion (the "Brokered Private Placement") and a non-brokered portion (the "Non-Brokered Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $16,980,080.40 and $824,700, respectively. Pursuant to the Offering, a total of 14,837,317 Special Warrants, including an aggregate of 1,650,067 Special Warrants issued as a result of the exercise of the agent's over-allotment option, were sold at a price per Special Warrant of $1.20 (the "Offering Price").
The Brokered Private Placement was conducted by Gravitas Securities Inc., as lead agent and sole bookrunner ("Gravitas" or the "Agent").

Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase an additional common share of the Company at a price of $1.50 per share (the "Warrant Exercise Price") for a period of 36 months from the initial closing date of the Offering (the "Initial Closing Date").
The Special Warrants and the Warrants were created and issued pursuant to, and are governed by, the terms of a special warrant indenture and a warrant indenture respectively between the Company and TSX Trust Company, as indenture trustee, in each case.
"Luckbox's strong leadership team paired with the current size and growth potential of esports and sports betting led to the Offering being heavily oversubscribed, as investors begin to recognize this attractive sector and opportunity", Company Chairman Drew Green said.
"We are grateful to our investors for their support and this financing puts Luckbox in a strong position to execute on our goals as we strive to further establish the business as a global leader in the esports betting space."
The Company has agreed to prepare and file a short form prospectus (the "Prospectus") qualifying the distribution of the Shares and the Warrants (including those issued to Gravitas in connection with the Offering) in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. In the event a receipt for the preliminary Prospectus has not been issued within 60 days of the Closing Date or a receipt for the final Prospectus has not been issued within 90 days of the Closing Date, each Special Warrant will, upon the earlier of (i) four months and one day following the Closing Date and (ii) the date of the issuance of the receipt for the final Prospectus, entitle the holder of the Special Warrant to receive, at no additional cost, an additional one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant at the same terms as the Warrants (the "Penalty Warrants"), and 1.10 Units (inclusive of the Penalty Warrants) per Special Warrant, provided that the Company shall not be required to issue fractional Units, Shares or Warrants and any fractions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Until a receipt is issued for the final Prospectus, securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a 4-month hold period from the date of issue.
The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As consideration for its services in connection with the Brokered Private Placement, the Company paid to the Agent a cash commission equal to $1,358,406.43 and issued to the Agent a total of 1,132,005 non-transferable agent special warrants (the "Agent Special Warrants").

Each Agent Unit Warrant shall be exercisable into one Share at the Warrant Exercise Price for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance thereof.
