Boca Raton, Florida, Aug. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company (OTCQB: WINR) (“Simplicity Esports”) announced today the results of the special meeting of public warrant holders held on August 18, 2019 to vote on a proposal to amend the Warrant Agreement dated August 16, 2017. The proposal did not receive the votes required to pass, and therefore, the $11.50 exercise price of the public warrants remains unchanged and no amendments will be made to the Warrant Agreement.
Jed Kaplan, CEO of Simplicity Esports, stated, “As a result of this vote, the exercise price of the public warrants will not be reduced from $11.50 to $4.00. Management believes the results are very positive for Simplicity Esports’ common stockholders, and is focused on further enhancing stockholder value. This gives Simplicity Esports more flexibility to improve the company's capital structure, as we take advantage of our recent growth through the acquisition of PLAYlive Nation. It is exciting to begin the implementation phase of our national esports integration strategy, with all PLAYlive Nation locations. This strategy will help provide esports gaming opportunities on a large scale via 46 locations in 13 states.”
