Real Luck Group Confirms Receipt of Two Contradictory and Opportunistic Proposals From Activist Shareholder

Record Player Acquisitions in October Confirms Growth Strategy

CALGARY, AB and ISLE OF MAN, Oct. 27, 2022 /CNW/ - Real Luck Group Ltd. (TSXV: LUCK) (OTCQB: LUKEF) (the "Company") and its subsidiary companies doing business as "Luckbox" (the "Group"), an award-winning provider of licensed, real money esports betting, sports betting and casino games, confirms that it has received two inconsistent proposals from Adam Arviv of KAOS Capital Ltd, which if pursued would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Mr. Arviv appears to have recently acquired shares of the Company and has not indicated his level of ownership.

Mr. Arviv initially proposed a merger with a private gambling company valuing the Company at $0.09 per share, to be paid in shares of the target company only. Mr. Arviv then appeared to have changed his mind and proposed a "wind down of the Company'', ignoring the Group's now finished platform and growing player base. Neither proposal reflects the value represented by the Company's significantly growing business and is also well below the Company's net cash position.

The Company is undervalued. Real Luck Group has a strong cash position, no debt and a robust plan to reach profitability and scale in the next six-ten months. This makes the Company an industry outlier and a target for individuals such as Mr. Arviv, seeking to gain access to the Company's cash, with no regard for its stakeholders. The Board therefore has a duty to resist such opportunistic conduct. In that regard, the Board has retained McMillan LLP as legal counsel, and DuMoulin Black LLP continues to advise the Company.  

Notwithstanding the Company's concerns regarding whether Mr. Arviv is acting in good faith, the Company remains prepared to meet with Mr. Arviv in his capacity as a shareholder of the Company. It should be noted that the Company had previously proposed an in person meeting with Mr. Arviv, which he declined. Another meeting that was suggested by the Company was also declined.

Real Luck Group remains committed to optimizing shareholder value. The Company continues to execute on its corporate strategy as outlined at the annual general meeting of shareholders held in August 2022, which can be found here and consists of the following key milestones:

Player Acquisition ++
Q4 2022 - Gradually accelerated growth through Q4 and into Q1 2023

B2B Offering & Partnerships
Q1 2023 - Products offered to global audience via B2B partnerships

Cash Flow Positive
Q2 2023 - Positive monthly EBITDA achieved

Next Gen Betting Product
Q3 2023 - Proprietary, immersive, live micro market betting product

Results of initial marketing efforts were announced in September Real Luck Group Ltd. Announces Triple Digit Growth in Key Operational Metrics — Real Luck Group Ltd and early October KPIs give confidence to the statement that the Company will reach positive EBITDA in the next 6 to 10 months without any additional funding.

Player Registrations for 26 days in October hit 24,411, a record for the Group. Deposits grew 254% and global Active Players grew 14 fold due to the accelerated player acquisition efforts and enhanced customer retention strategy.
