“Bragg’s sustained performance allowed us to exercise our option to accelerate the November warrants,” said Adam Arviv, CEO of Bragg Gaming. “Not only is this an excellent indication of the continued confidence of our investors, but it immediately contributed to the balance sheet, providing increased liquidity and flexibility for future growth.

The Warrants, unless exercised, expired on the 30th day after the Company provided the Acceleration Notice (the "Accelerated Expiry Date").

As of the close of markets on January 19, 2021, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares had traded in excess of $1.50 for at least 10 consecutive trading days.
