Third Amendment to

Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital

(c) A new Section 2.1.1A of the Purchase Agreement is added to read in its entirety as follows:

“2.1.1A cash payment of Eighteen Million Dollars (USD $18,000,000) (the “Deferred Cash Consideration”), payable as set forth in Section 2.1(d) of the Purchase Agreement.”

(d) Section 2.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement (added in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital dated September 22, 2023 and effective June 27, 2023) shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

“(c) [Intentionally Removed].”

(e) A new Section 2.1(d) of the Purchase Agreement of the Purchase Agreement is added to read in its entirety as follows:

“(d) Deferred Cash Consideration. The Parties previously contemplated up to Twenty Million Dollars (USD$20,000,000) of the Closing Cash Consideration due at the Closing would be paid by the cash on hand that the Companies had at Closing. However, the Parties have subsequently determined that Serbian law prohibits the direct payment by Meridian Serbia to the Sellers of cash funds held by Meridian Serbia prior to Closing, for purposes of affecting the Acquisition.

For the reasons described above, and in an effort to close the Acquisition as soon as possible, the Parties have decided to reduce the cash consideration due at the Closing from Thirty Million Dollars (USD$30,000,000) to Twelve Million Dollars (USD$12,000,000) and to defer the payment of the Deferred Cash Consideration until after the Closing as set forth below.

The Deferred Cash Consideration shall be deferred, and shall be paid upon the earlier of (i) the date that the Parent (or one of its Subsidiaries) has raised funding sufficient following the Closing, on terms deemed acceptable in the reasonable good faith discretion of the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Parent, to allow for the payment of the Deferred Cash Consideration, and following such payment, that the Purchaser (and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will not be left insolvent or with inadequate cash to pay its debts, bills, and other liabilities as they become due, in the ordinary course of business; and (ii) April 26, 2024 (as applicable, the earlier of (i) and (ii), the “Deferred Cash Consideration Due Date”).

To the extent any portion of the Deferred Cash Consideration remains unpaid three (3) Business Days after the Deferred Cash Consideration Due Date, the unpaid amount of such Deferred Cash Consideration shall accrue interest retroactively (from the Effective Date) at a fixed, non-variable rate equal to the lesser of (A) three percent (3%) per annum and (B) the Maximum Rate (as defined below). “The “Maximum Rate” shall mean the maximum rate of interest allowed under applicable law.”

(f) Section 2.3 of the Purchase Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:

Third Amendment to

Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital

“2.3. Acceleration of Post-Closing Payments. Upon the occurrence of any Purchaser Change of Control, all portions of the Purchase Price which were otherwise due and payable post-Closing, including without limitation the Deferred Cash Consideration, Contingent Post-Closing Consideration, Non-Contingent Post-Closing Cash Consideration, and Promissory Note Consideration, shall immediately be accelerated and become due and payable in full by Purchaser, at the closing of the Purchaser Change in Control. For the purposes of this Section 2.3, it shall be conclusively deemed true, in the event of a Purchaser Change of Control, that the Contingent Post-Closing Payment Conditions were satisfied in full; the Promissory Note Consideration shall include the interest which would have accrued had the Promissory Note been paid at maturity; and no Set-Off under Section 2.2 shall be applicable unless the right accrued as of the date of the Purchaser Change in Control.”

(g) A new Section 2.4.4 of the Purchase Agreement of the Purchase Agreement is added to read in its entirety as follows:

“2.4.4 Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable best efforts to promptly raise funding sufficient to pay the entire amount of the Deferred Cash Consideration by the Deferred Cash Consideration Due Date.”

(h) Section 2.7 of the Purchase Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

“2.7 Ownership of Meridian Serbia Following the Closing. The Parties agree that notwithstanding the other terms of this Agreement, and/or the payment of the Purchase Price to the Sellers directly by the Purchaser, Meridian Serbia shall be deemed to be purchased by the Purchaser’s wholly-owned Serbian subsidiary, Golden Matrix Group doo (“Golden Matrix Serbia”). As such, each of the Share in the Companies of Meridian Serbia held by the Sellers prior to Closing shall be transferred to Golden Matrix Serbia and shall be owned by Golden Matrix Serbia, following the Closing. To the extent the Parties deem it necessary, a portion of the cash consideration payable to the Sellers for the acquisition of Meridian Serbia may be paid directly from Golden Matrix Serbia, or deemed paid by Golden Matrix Serbia, to the Sellers. Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser desire to take whatever actions necessary or warranted following the Closing to affect and reflect the ownership of Meridian Serbia by Golden Matrix Serbia, following the Closing at their own cost and expense.”

(i) A new Section 2.8 of the Purchase Agreement of the Purchase Agreement is added to read in its entirety as follows:

“2.8 Transfer of Ownership of Meridian Gaming Ltd. As promptly as possible following the Closing Date (i.e., within twelve (12) months), Milovanović and Milosevic shall take commercially reasonable efforts to transfer each of their ownership of Meridian Gaming Ltd., a Kenyan limited company (“Meridian Kenya”) to Bit Tech Limited, a Tanzania private company limited by shares (or another one of Meridian Montenegro’s or another Company’s subsidiaries, or to a Company, as reasonably approved by Milovanović and Milosevic and the Purchaser), for nominal consideration (the “Meridian Kenya Transfer”). Until the Meridian Kenya Transfer is complete, Milovanović and Milosevic shall ensure that all economic benefits of, and revenue of, Meridian Kenya are transferred to Meridian Montenegro. The Meridian Kenya Transfer shall be an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Meridian Kenya Transfer shall occur no later than 12 months following the Closing Date.”

(k) Section 9.14 of the Purchase Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“9.14. Financing. By the Required Financing Date, the Purchaser shall have the Required Financing in a sufficient amount to pay the Closing Cash Consideration. The Purchaser shall have successfully raised or accumulated the Required Financing on the Closing Date on terms reasonably satisfactory to Sellers.”

(l) Section 11.1.78 of the Purchase Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“11.1.78 “Required Financing” means a minimum of $12,000,000 in financing raised or accumulated by the Purchaser for the purpose of paying the Closing Cash Consideration. The Required Financing may take the form of, to list three non-exhaustive examples, (i) the accumulation of sufficient cash in hand by the Purchaser from normal, day-to-day business operations (which, as of April 3, 2024, is expected to represent approximately $12,000,000 of the required sum); (ii) additional capital based on the investment of funds by one or more new stockholders of the Purchaser, in exchange for the issuance of shares, warrants, or other securities of the Purchaser, all under reasonable and customary terms substantially consistent with other, prior capital raises by the Purchaser; and (iii) one or more reasonable and customary loan financing transactions. Purchaser shall not commit to or consummate any Required Financing transaction under sections (ii) or (iii) in the preceding sentence, without obtaining Sellers’ prior written consent (in their sole discretion) to the material terms of the transaction.”

2. Waiver of Untimely Delivery of Updated Disclosure Schedules. The Purchaser waives the failure of the Sellers to provide the Updated Sellers Disclosure Schedule at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Sellers waive the failure of the Purchaser to provide the Updated Purchaser Disclosure Schedule at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
