Bragg Gaming Group Announces Closing of Private Placement With Participation from Insiders and Drayton International's Matt Davey

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO and LAS VEGAS, June 22, 2026 /CNW/ - Bragg Gaming Group (NASDAQ:BRAG) (TSX:BRAG) ("bragg" or the "Company"), a leading iGaming content and platform technology solutions provider, today announced the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of 751,445 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of US$1.73 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$1,300,000 (the "Offering"). The issue price of US$1.73 per Subscription Receipt was based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company (the "Shares") on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Nasdaq") on May 29, 2026.

The Subscription Receipts and the aggregate gross proceeds remain subject to escrow release conditions (the "Release Conditions"), including the completion or satisfaction of all material conditions precedent to the Company's previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Drayton International (the "Transaction"), which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.

Upon the satisfaction of the Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without any further action or payment of any additional consideration therefor, subject to adjustments, for one Share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Share (a "Warrant Share") for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Transaction (the "Warrant Expiry Date") at an exercise price of US$2.16 per Warrant Share (the "Warrant Exercise Price"), subject to acceleration as described below.

In the event that the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") (or such other Canadian stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading) equals or exceeds a price that is 25% above the Warrant Exercise Price for 15 consecutive trading days, then bragg, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the Warrant Expiry Date by issuing a press release (a "Warrant Acceleration Press Release") and, in such case, the Warrant Expiry Date will be deemed to be 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the 30^th day following the issuance of the Warrant Acceleration Press Release. Any Warrant not exercised prior to the expiry of such 30-day notice period shall be forfeited and cancelled without compensation.

The net proceeds from the Offering will primarily be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Subscription Receipts, Shares, Warrants and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon conversion are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day after the closing of the Offering and are also "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and may not be transferred or resold other than in compliance with an exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

Each subscriber in the Offering has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise deal in their Shares, Warrants or Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, for four months following closing of the Transaction.

Insider Participation

In connection with the Offering, (i) Robbie Bressler, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, subscribed for 86,704 Subscription Receipts; (ii) Morten Tonnesen, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, subscribed for 57,803 Subscription Receipts; and (iii) Thomas Winter, a director of the Company, subscribed for 57,803 Subscription Receipts. The insider participation in the Offering constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), for which the Company was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) thereof, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the insiders under the Offering nor the consideration paid by the insiders exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization, in each case as determined under MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days before closing of the Offering as the number of Subscription Receipts issued to insiders of the Company had not been confirmed at that time and the Company wished to close the Offering as expeditiously as possible for sound business reasons. The material change report to be filed by the Company in connection with the closing of the Offering will contain additional details with respect to such insider participation in accordance with Canadian securities laws.

Furthermore, renowned gaming entrepreneur Matt Davey, Founder and Chairman of gaming-oriented investment fund, Tekkorp Capital, subscribed for 115,607 Subscription Receipts. As previously announced, the Company intends to appoint Mr. Davey as Non-Executive Chairman of its board of directors upon completion of the Transaction. Upon completion of the Transaction and Offering, Mr. Davey is expected to hold approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The securities issued have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration requirements and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
