Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 6, 2020, Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”), setting forth the basic terms under which the Company will acquire from AHG Entertainment Associates, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“AHG” or the “Seller”), 100% of the outstanding share capital (the “Sale Shares”) of LHE Enterprises Limited (“LHE”), a company incorporated under the laws of Gibraltar, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AHG (the “Transaction”).

 

The Letter of Intent provides that the completion of the Transaction is subject to, amongst other things, the: (i) negotiation and execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive stock purchase and/or merger agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”); (ii) completion by the Company of a satisfactory review of the legal, financial and business conditions of LHE; and (iii) approval of the board of directors of the Company.

The Company paid say Seller a $500,000 advance against the Cash Purchase Price in exchange for exclusivity. The Letter of Intent shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of the execution of the Definitive Agreement or July 3, 2020.
