Lottery.com, Inc. Shareholders Vote to Approve Issuances of Capital Stock and Warrants
AUSTIN, Texas, November 17, 2023 — Lottery.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRY, LTRYW) (“Lottery.com” or the “Company”) conducted a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) in a virtual-only format on November 17, 2023 wherein shareholders of record as of November 2, 2023, were able to vote for two proposals submitted to them by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Proposal No. 1 – Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(b) and 5635(d)
The Company stockholders by majority vote approved the potential issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock and of its common stock purchase warrants (“warrants”) that will result in a change of control of the Company and in an amount that, in certain circumstances, may be equal to or exceed 20% of our issued and outstanding common stock for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(b) and 5635(d) (the “Nasdaq Proposal”);
Proposal No. 2 – Adjournment of Meeting
In connection to Proposal No. 1, the Company’s stockholders also approved by majority vote a proposal to adjourn the Meeting to a later date, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). However, as a result of the majority stockholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, activation of the Adjournment Proposal was unnecessary.
The result of vote for the Nasdaq Proposal enables the Board to issue additional shares and warrants to secure up to $200 million in financing. The Company will use the proceeds of the potential sale of the additional shares and warrants to finance the Company’s domestic and international growth plans along with the development of the Sports.com platform.
Lottery.com Board Chairman and Interim CEO Matthew McGahan stated, “I am pleased that shareholders supported the Nasdaq Proposal. Now that the shareholders have given the Board the authority to issue capital stock and warrants that may result in a change of control of the Company, we are free to fully-engage our existing investment partnerships and explore additional opportunities.” He added, “The Company remains unwavering in its dedication to providing innovative solutions that will transform the lottery industry, and in capitalizing on our Sports.com domain. The Company is grateful for each Shareholder’s participation in the Meeting, and we remain committed to increasing shareholder value as we move this Company forward.”
