On March 28, 2022, the board of directors of Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Artemis”), unanimously approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 30, 2022, and amended on September 2, 2022 (as the same may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Komisium Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Cyprus and the holder of all of the issued ordinary shares of Novibet and all of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares (as defined herein) (“Komisium”), Logflex MT Holding Limited, a limited liability company registered under the laws of Malta with company registration number C 77769 and having its registered office at 170 Pater House, Level 1 (Suite A191), Psaila Street, Birkirkara, BKR 9077, Malta and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Komisium (“Novibet”), Novibet PLC, a United Kingdom public limited company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Komisium (“PubCo”), Novibet Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”), and Artemis, which provides for, among other things, (i) the sale and transfer by Komisium of all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo in exchange for the consideration hereafter described (the “Share Exchange”) and (ii) the merger of Merger Sub with and into Artemis, with Artemis surviving and continuing as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger” and, together with the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement to be effective upon consummation of the Merger, the “Business Combination”).

The parties have ascribed to Novibet a pre-Business Combination enterprise value of $500 million. It is anticipated that, immediately following the Business Combination, (1) Artemis public stockholders will own approximately 29% of outstanding ordinary shares of PubCo, par value $1.00 per share (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”), (2) Artemis Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) and certain anchor investors in Artemis will collectively own approximately 7% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, and (3) Komisium will own approximately 64% of outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares. These percentages (w) assume that none of Artemis’s public stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Merger, (x) assume Komisium is issued $50 million of Closing Cash Consideration (as defined below), (y) do not include PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable to Komisium upon the satisfaction of certain earnout conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, and (z) assume none of the PubCo Warrants (as defined below) are exercised for cash at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership and voting power in PubCo will be different.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth therein, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo in consideration for receiving at Closing (a) an amount of cash, which will not exceed $50 million, equal to the excess of the Gross Closing Proceeds (as defined below) over $100 million (the “Closing Cash Consideration”), (b) a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Closing Share Consideration”) equal to (i) (x) $500 million minus the Initial Share Premium (as defined below) minus the Closing Cash Consideration actually paid to Komisium, the difference divided by (y) $10.20, minus (ii) the Additional Closing Share Consideration (if any), and (c) in the event that redemptions by Artemis’s public stockholders equal or exceed 85% of the outstanding Artemis Class A Common Stock (as defined below), an additional 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Closing Share Consideration”). If redemptions by Artemis’s public stockholders are less than 85%, the Additional Closing Share Consideration will be deferred and 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Deferred Share Consideration”) will be issued upon the satisfaction of certain earnout conditions. In addition to the Closing Cash Consideration, Closing Share Consideration, Additional Closing Share Consideration (if any), and Deferred Share Consideration (if any), Komisium (i) will retain the 65,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares to which the Initial Share Premium relates, and (ii) may receive up to an additional 10,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares in earnout consideration (the “Earnout Consideration”) upon the satisfaction of certain earnout conditions set forth in more detail in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Additionally, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth therein, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Class B common stock of Artemis, par value $0.0001 per share (“Artemis Class B Common Stock”) shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock of Artemis, par value $0.0001 per share (“Artemis Class A Common Stock”) subject to the terms of Artemis’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Existing Artemis Charter”) and the Sponsor Support Agreement (as defined below), and at the Effective Time, (a) each issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock (including the Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, but not including shares redeemed by Artemis’s public stockholders and certain other excluded Artemis shares) shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share and (b) each outstanding whole warrant of Artemis will be assumed by PubCo and will be thereafter exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement (as defined herein), for one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with the exercise period beginning thirty (30) days after the Closing (the “PubCo Warrants”).

The registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part covers the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants issuable to the security holders of Artemis as described above, as well as the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such PubCo Warrants. Accordingly, we are registering up to an aggregate of 25,156,250 PubCo Ordinary Shares, 20,062,500 PubCo Warrants and 20,062,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the PubCo Warrants.

Proposals to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at a special meeting of Artemis stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) scheduled to be held virtually at         a.m., Eastern time, on         , 2022. After careful consideration, Artemis has determined that the Special Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast in order to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation while safeguarding the health and safety of our stockholders, directors and management team in light of ongoing developments related to COVID-19.

Although PubCo is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and the Closing, PubCo will become subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). PubCo intends to apply to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares (including the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants) and the PubCo Warrants on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the proposed symbols “NOVI” and “NOVIW,” respectively, to be effective at the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants are approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance thereof. While trading of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the date of completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that PubCo’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

PubCo will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.

PubCo will be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Exchange Act and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, PubCo’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, PubCo will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly

Table of Contents

as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. Additionally, Nasdaq rules allow foreign private issuers to follow home country practices in lieu of certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules.

Further, PubCo will be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq listing standards. As a result of Komisium’s voting control, Komisium will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove a majority of the directors, Komisium will effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and other matters of corporate or management policy. The Investors Agreement will provide Komisium with the right to nominate and appoint up to three of the five members of the PubCo Board, with reductions in this right as Komisium’s beneficial ownership decreases, and will provide the Sponsor with the right to nominate and appoint two members of the PubCo Board, as described in more detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Related AgreementsInvestors Agreement.” Non-redeeming Artemis shareholders will likely have a limited influence over PubCo following the Business Combination and PubCo shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides Artemis stockholders with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the Special Meeting of Artemis. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should, in particular, carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The board of directors of Artemis has unanimously approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and unanimously recommends that the Artemis stockholders vote FOR all of the proposals presented to the stockholders. When you consider the board of directors’ recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that certain of Artemis’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination. Such interests include the following: (i) the Sponsor, and the officers and directors of Artemis who have invested in the Sponsor entity, will lose their entire investment in Artemis if Artemis does not complete an initial business combination and will significantly benefit from the completion of a business combination and therefore may be incentivized to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Artemis’s public stockholders; (ii) that Thomas Granite, current Chief Financial Officer of Artemis, will serve as Chief Financial Officer of PubCo, and would receive any salary, bonus, cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its Chief Financial Officer, though the specific terms of Mr. Granite’s employment with PubCo have not been discussed; (iii) that Holly Gagnon, co-Chief Executive Officer and a director of Artemis, and Philip Kaplan, co-Chief Executive Officer of Artemis, will serve as directors of PubCo after the Closing and would receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its directors; and (iv) following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Artemis and remain outstanding and the Sponsor, officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, whereas if Artemis does not complete an initial business combination such persons will not have a claim against the Trust Account for repayment of working capital loans or expenses. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

None of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or the securities commission of any state or other jurisdiction has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, or determined if this proxy statement/prospectus is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON                , 2022

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF ARTEMIS STRATEGIC INVESTMENT CORPORATION:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the stockholders of Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Artemis,” “we,” “us” or “our”), will be held at           a.m., Eastern time, on           , 2022, in virtual format. You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:

(a)Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal —  To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 30, 2022, as amended on September 2, 2022 (as may be further amended or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Artemis, Komisium Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Cyprus and the holder of all of the issued ordinary shares of Novibet (“Komisium”), Logflex MT Holding Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Malta (“Novibet”), Novibet PLC, a United Kingdom public limited company (“PubCo”), and Novibet Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo in exchange for the consideration set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Artemis, with Artemis surviving and continuing as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger” and, together with the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement to be effective upon consummation of the Merger, the “Business Combination”). We refer to this proposal as the “Business Combination Proposal”. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement and the amendment thereto are attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively; and
(b)Proposal No. 2 — The Adjournment Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if determined necessary by Artemis to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt the Business Combination Proposal or to provide additional time for Artemis to continue to attempt to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the Business Combination. We refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal”.

These items of business are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of Artemis Class A Common Stock or Artemis Class B Common Stock at the close of business on            , 2022, are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. Pursuant to the Existing Artemis Charter (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), the holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock and the holders of Artemis Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class with respect to these items of business.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been or will be entered into prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Investors Agreement, the Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). See “Related Agreements” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

After careful consideration, the Artemis Board has unanimously determined that the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and fair to and in the best interest of Artemis and its stockholders and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal and, if presented, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Table of Contents

When you consider the board of directors’ recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that certain of Artemis’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination. Such interests include the following: (i) the Sponsor, and the officers and directors of Artemis who have invested in the Sponsor entity, will lose their entire investment in Artemis if Artemis does not complete an initial business combination and will significantly benefit from the completion of a business combination and therefore may be incentivized to complete a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Artemis’s public stockholders; (ii) that Thomas Granite, current Chief Financial Officer of Artemis, will serve as Chief Financial Officer of PubCo, and would receive any salary, bonus, cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its Chief Financial Officer, though the specific terms of Mr. Granite’s employment with PubCo have not been discussed; (iii) that Holly Gagnon, co-Chief Executive Officer and a director of Artemis, and Philip Kaplan, current co-Chief Executive Officer of Artemis, will serve as directors of PubCo after the Closing; and (iv) following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Artemis and remain outstanding and the Sponsor, officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, whereas if Artemis does not complete an initial business combination such persons will not have a claim against the Trust Account for repayment of working capital loans or expenses. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved by Artemis Stockholders in accordance with Artemis’s governing documents, the Business Combination will not be consummated.

In connection with our initial public offering, our Sponsor entered into a letter agreement to vote its shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock purchased prior to our initial public offering (the “Sponsor Shares”) as well as any shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock sold as part of the units in Artemis’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) purchased by the Sponsor during or after our initial public offering, in favor of Artemis’s initial business combination. Further, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to vote all voting equity securities owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, Business Combination, and all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor owns approximately 13.6% of the total outstanding Artemis Common Stock (as defined herein). Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by the Sponsor, Artemis would need 9,165,310 Public Shares, or approximately 45.5% of the 20,125,000 shares sold in Artemis’s initial public offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved. Moreover, certain anchor investors in Artemis own approximately 9.5 million Public Shares based on the latest available public filings. Although such investors are not required to hold their Artemis Units or Public Shares for any amount of time, or to vote or not redeem their Public Shares, if they retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.

Pursuant to the Existing Artemis Charter, a holder of Public Shares (an “Artemis Public Stockholder”) may request that Artemis redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of our initial business combination, including the Business Combination, with respect to Artemis’s warrants or the Sponsor Shares. Assuming the Business Combination is consummated, Artemis Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)(a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
(ii)prior to [time], Eastern time, on [], 2022 (two business days prior to the scheduled date of the Special Meeting), (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Artemis’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”), that Artemis redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your Public Shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders of Artemis Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Artemis Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Artemis Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. Artemis Public Stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares even if they vote for the Business Combination

Table of Contents

Proposal, do not vote at all, or are not holders on the record date. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will not be redeemed for cash. If the Business Combination is consummated and an Artemis Public Stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its Public Shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, we will redeem each Public Share for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with our initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. For illustrative purposes, as of [], 2022, the record date, this would have amounted to approximately $10.20 per Public Share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, Artemis Public Stockholders should verify the market price of the Artemis Class A common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Artemis Class A common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Artemis cannot assure our stockholders that they will be able to sell their Artemis Class A common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when our stockholders wish to sell their shares. If an Artemis Public Stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is [time], Eastern time, two business days prior to the scheduled date of the Special Meeting, and, thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. If a holder of Public Shares delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Artemis instruct the transfer agent to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Special Meeting of Artemis Stockholders — Redemption Rights” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such Artemis Public Stockholder or any other person with whom such Artemis Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO without Artemis’s prior consent. Accordingly, if an Artemis Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares sold in our initial public offering, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash without Artemis’s prior consent.

All Artemis Stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting virtually. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record of Artemis Class A Common Stock or Artemis Class B Common Stock, you may also cast your vote virtually at the Special Meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. If you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum for the Special Meeting; Broker Non-Votes (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) will not.

A complete list of Artemis stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for ten (10) days before the Special Meeting at the principal executive offices of Artemis for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker or bank to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each stockholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

PRESENTATION OF NOVIBET’S FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Novibet’s functional currency and its presentation currency is the euro. All of Novibet’s financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented in euros, except as otherwise indicated. Novibet’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. IFRS differs in certain material respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and, as such, Novibet’s financial statements are not comparable to the financial statements of U.S. companies prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This proxy statement/prospectus does not include any explanation of the principal differences or any reconciliation between IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

In this proxy statement/prospectus, we use certain measures not recognized by the IFRS to evaluate the performance of Novibet, including, but not limited to, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Gross Gaming Revenue. These terms do not have any standardized meaning prescribed within IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-IFRS financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with IFRS and may exclude items that are significant in understanding or assessing Novibet’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under IFRS.

Novibet believes these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Novibet’s financial condition and results of operations. Novibet believes that these non-IFRS measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Novibet’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. These non-IFRS financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS measures. Please refer to footnotes regarding use of non-IFRS financial measures where presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. For a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Gaming Revenue Reconciliation to their most comparable IFRS measures, see the section entitled “Summary Historical Financial Data of Novibet.”

This proxy statement/prospectus also includes certain projections of non-IFRS financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Novibet is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable IFRS measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures is included. The projections and prospective information included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

In this proxy statement/prospectus, we present industry data, information and statistics regarding the markets in which Novibet competes, as well as publicly available information, industry and general publications and research and studies conducted by third parties.

These forecasts and forward-looking information are subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in any forecasts or estimates.

Table of Contents

Artemis Charter provides for the return of the proceeds of the IPO held in the Trust Account to the holders of Public Shares if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before a certain date (in Artemis’s case, within 18 months after the closing of the IPO, or April 4, 2023, or 21 months after the closing of the IPO, or July 4, 2023, if Artemis has executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months after the closing of the IPO). Since the IPO, Artemis’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

Novibet is a rapidly-growing vertically integrated provider of a wide variety of high-quality online gaming and sports betting products, through its own proprietary technology platform. Novibet, directly or through one or more of its subsidiaries, is currently licensed to operate in Malta, Greece, Italy and Ireland, and is actively pursuing plans to expand into North America, including the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and into other European markets. Novibet provides its customers with a first-class suite of casino products, representing over 100 providers and over 5,000 games, and its competitive sportsbook product offers over 20 sport disciplines and over 25,000 live sporting events per month.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Novibet and the industries and geographies in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Novibet in the course of Artemis’s due diligence investigations and the financial analysis and market information provided by Barclays, the Artemis Board believes that the Business Combination with Novibet is in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there can be no assurances of this.

Although the Artemis Board believes that the Business Combination with Novibet presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders, the Artemis Board did consider certain potentially negative factors as well as certain conflicts of interests in arriving at that conclusion.

See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Artemis Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” for a discussion of the positive and negative factors considered by the Artemis Board in making its decision.

Q.

What will happen to Artemis’s securities upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A.The Artemis Units, the Artemis Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “ARTEU,” “ARTE” and “ARTEW,” respectively. Artemis’s securities will cease trading following the consummation of the Business Combination. PubCo intends to apply for listing of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “NOVI” and “NOVIW,” respectively, to be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination. While trading of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the consummation of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that PubCo’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Artemis and the Business Combination” for more information.

Further, upon completion of the Business Combination, Artemis Stockholders will no longer be stockholders of a Delaware corporation, but will be shareholders of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the UK. There will be material differences between the current rights of Artemis Stockholders and the rights you can expect to have as a holder of PubCo securities, some of which may adversely affect you.

For a more detailed discussion of the differences in the rights of Artemis Stockholders and PubCo Shareholders, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Comparison of Rights of PubCo Shareholders and Artemis Stockholders”.

Q.

What will happen in the Business Combination?

A.As part of the Business Combination (i) Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo in consideration for the Closing Cash Consideration, Closing Share Consideration (including the right of Komisium to retain the PubCo Ordinary Shares to which the Initial Share Premium relates), and, if the earnout conditions are met, the Earnout Consideration and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Artemis, with Artemis surviving and continuing as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo.

Q.

Did the Artemis Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A.No. The Artemis Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the consideration to be paid in the Share Exchange and its determination to approve the Business Combination. However, Artemis’s management, the members of the Artemis Board and the other representatives of Artemis have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies similar to Novibet and reviewed certain financial information of Novibet and other relevant financial information selected based on the experience and the professional judgment of Artemis’s management team. The Artemis Board believes that Artemis’s management’s experience and backgrounds, together with the expertise of Artemis’s financial advisors, enabled the Artemis Board to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Artemis Board in valuing Novibet’s business and assume the risk that the Artemis Board may not have properly valued such business.

The lack of a third-party fairness opinion may lead an increased number of stockholders to vote against the proposed Business Combination or seek to redeem their Public Shares for cash, which could potentially impact Artemis’s ability to consummate the Business Combination or adversely affect PubCo’s liquidity following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Q.

What will be the relative equity stakes of the Sponsor, Komisium, and the Artemis Public Stockholders in PubCo upon completion of the Business Combination?

A.Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo shall become a new public company and each of Artemis (as the surviving company of the Merger) and Novibet shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. The former equity holders of Artemis and Novibet will all become equity holders of PubCo.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the post-Closing share ownership of PubCo under (1) the No Redemptions Scenario, (2) the 50% Redemptions Scenario and (3) the 100% Redemptions Scenario, excluding the dilutive effect of outstanding Artemis Warrants, the Deferred Share Consideration, and the Earnout Consideration would be as follows:

(1)Represents the shares acquired by Komisium in PubCo in exchange for shares of Novibet in the Share Exchange, after taking into account the Initial Share Premium, the Closing Cash Consideration, and the Additional Closing Share Consideration. In the No Redemptions Scenario, assumes an aggregate of $50.0 million of Closing Cash Consideration. In the 50% Redemptions Scenario, assumes an aggregate of approximately $2.6 million of Closing Cash Consideration. In the 100% Redemptions Scenario, assumes no Closing Cash Consideration plus the Additional Closing Share Consideration.
(2)Represents 3,412,816 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor.
(3)Represents 1,618,434 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock held by the Artemis Anchor Investors. Does not include Public Shares held by the Artemis Anchor Investors, as such shares are redeemable and are not subject to voting or transfer restrictions.

(4)This scenario assumes that 10,062,500 Public Shares, or 50% of the Public Shares, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $102.6 million from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur.
(5)This scenario assumes that all 20,125,000 Public Shares, or 100% of the Public Shares, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $205.3 million from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur.
(6)Share ownership and voting power presented under each redemptions scenario in the table above are only presented for illustrative purposes. Artemis cannot predict how many Artemis Public Stockholders will exercise their right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above. As such, the ownership percentages of current Artemis Stockholders may also differ from the presentation above if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination — The ability of the Artemis Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of the Public Shares may not allow Artemis to complete the Business Combination, have sufficient cash available to fund PubCo’s business or optimize the capital structure of PubCo.”
(7)This table does not include earnout shares and warrants and assumes the Sponsor does not use any of its Class B Common Stock to incentivize non-redemptions.
(8)The 100% Redemption scenario assumes that Komisium will waive the Minimum Closing Cash Condition.
(9)Represents existing shares held by Komisium in PubCo that will not be redeemed at the closing.

Q.

How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of Artemis securities?

A.On March 29, 2022, the trading date preceding the announcement of the Business Combination, the closing prices of the Artemis Units, Artemis Class A Common Stock, and Artemis Warrants reported by Nasdaq were $10.05, $9.92, and $0.35, respectively. The closing prices of the Artemis Units, Artemis Class A Common Stock, and Artemis Warrants reported by Nasdaq on [], 2022, the record date, were $[], $[], and $[], respectively. Holders of Artemis’s securities should obtain current market quotations for the securities. The market price of Artemis’s securities could vary at any time prior to Closing.

Q.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. investors of Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants?

A.As described more fully under the section entitled “Certain Material Tax ConsiderationsCertain United States Federal Income Tax ConsiderationsU.S. HoldersTax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger,” the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend that the Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and/or as part of a transaction described under Section 351 of the Code. However, due to a lack of clear authority, the issue is not free from doubt and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position.

Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in certain circumstances, may impose additional requirements for certain U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations  — U.S. Holders”) to qualify for tax-deferred treatment (i) with respect to the exchange of Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Merger under Section 368(a) of the Code or Section 351(a) of the Code and (ii) with respect to the exchange of Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants in the Merger under Section 368(a) of the Code.

The tax consequences of the Business Combination are complex and will depend on your particular circumstances. For a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Business Combination for U.S. Holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants, including the application of Section 367(a) of the Code, see the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations  —  Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations  —  U.S. Holders  —  Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger.” If you are a U.S. Holder whose Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants are exchanged in the Merger, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences thereof.

The summary above is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed discussion provided in the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations  —  Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Q.

How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

A.Artemis Stockholders are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of Artemis Common Stock held of record as of [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 25,156,250 shares of Artemis Common Stock outstanding. This includes 20,125,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock and 5,031,250 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock.

Q.

What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

A.A quorum for the Special Meeting will consist of the holders present in person (including virtually) or by proxy of shares representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock. The shares held by the Sponsor will count towards this quorum. Abstentions will count as present for purposes of achieving a quorum; Broker Non-Votes will not. As of the record date, in addition to the shares of Artemis Common Stock held by the Sponsor, 9,156,310 shares of Artemis Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairperson of the meeting has power to adjourn the Special Meeting.

Q.

What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

A.The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock as of the record date, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will count as votes “against” the Business Combination Proposal because an absolute percentage of affirmative votes is required to approve the proposal, regardless of how many votes are cast, and abstentions and Broker Non-Votes are not an affirmative vote.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Artemis Common Stock that are voted at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote of such proposal because abstentions and Broker Non-Votes are not votes cast.

15

Table of Contents

The Sponsor will participate in the vote on both of the proposals and, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, has agreed to vote any shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Class B Common Stock held by it in favor of the Business Combination. The percentage of outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock held by the Sponsor that are obligated to vote in favor of the Business Combination, represents approximately 13.6% of the total voting power of Artemis. Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by the Sponsor, Artemis would need 9,165,310 Public Shares, or approximately 45.5% of the 20,125,000 shares sold in Artemis’s initial public offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved. Accordingly, we may complete the Business Combination even if a majority of the Artemis Public Stockholders do not approve of the Business Combination. Moreover, the Artemis Anchor Investors own approximately 9.5 million Public Shares based on the latest available public filings. Although the Artemis Anchor Investors are not required to hold their Artemis Units or Public Shares for any amount of time, or to vote or not redeem their Public Shares, if the Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.

Q.

How does the Artemis Board recommend that I vote on the proposals?

A.The Artemis Board recommends that Artemis Stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and, if presented at the Special Meeting, “FOR” approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

For more information regarding why the Artemis Board approved the Business Combination and recommends that Artemis Stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal —  The Artemis Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”.

Q

How do the insiders of Artemis intend to vote on the proposals?

A.The Sponsor, which is an affiliate of certain members of the Artemis Board and management team, beneficially owns and is entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 13.6% of the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock. The Sponsor is required by certain agreements to vote its securities in favor of each of the proposals presented herein.

Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by the Sponsor, Artemis would need 9,165,310 Public Shares, or approximately 45.5% of the 20,125,000 shares sold in Artemis’s initial public offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved.

Moreover, the Artemis Anchor Investors own approximately 9.5 million Public Shares based on the latest available public filings. Although the Artemis Anchor Investors are not required to hold their Artemis Units or Public Shares for any amount of time, or to vote or not redeem their Public Shares, if the Artemis Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.

Q.

Do the Sponsor and Artemis’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that differ from or are in addition to the interests of Artemis Stockholders generally?

A.Yes. The Sponsor and Artemis’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Artemis Stockholders generally. The Artemis Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in approving the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, and in determining to recommend that Artemis Stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for more information.

Q.

Do I have redemption rights?

A.If you are a holder of Public Shares, you have the right to request that Artemis redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Artemis Public Stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal set forth herein and even if they are not a holder of Public

16

Table of Contents

Shares on the record date. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?

An Artemis Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock without the prior consent of Artemis.

At the time of the Artemis IPO, the Sponsor entered into an agreement with Artemis pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to not to exercise redemption rights with respect to all of the shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock that it may hold prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Sponsor did not receive separate consideration for the waiver of redemption rights.

Q.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights with respect to your Artemis Class A Common Stock depends on your particular circumstances. Please see the section entitled "Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax ConsiderationsU.S. Holders  —  Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights or Certain Material Tax Considerations  —  Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations  — Non-U.S. Holders  —  Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights” for additional information. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q.

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A.In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to [time], Eastern time, on [], 2022 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Special Meeting), (i) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Artemis’s transfer agent, that Artemis redeem your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) deliver your stock to the transfer agent physically or electronically through DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Artemis’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the date of the Special Meeting. After the date of the Special Meeting, a demand for redemption may only be withdrawn with Artemis’s consent. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Artemis’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Artemis’s transfer agent return the shares to you (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Artemis’s transfer agent at the address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Artemis Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for further detail regarding the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

If you are a holder of Public Shares and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in the loss of any Artemis Warrants that you may hold.

Q.

If I am an Artemis Unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Artemis Units?

A.Not without first separating the Artemis Units. The holders of outstanding Artemis Units must separate the underlying shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.

If you hold Artemis Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such Artemis Units, or deliver such Artemis Units electronically, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Artemis’s transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such Artemis Units into Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of Public Share certificates or the electronic delivery of Public Shares back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Artemis Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption

17

Table of Contents

rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Artemis’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, bank, or other nominee holds your Artemis Units, you must instruct such broker, bank or nominee to separate your Artemis Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Artemis’s transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of Artemis Units to be split and the nominee holding such Artemis Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, a withdrawal of the relevant Artemis Units and a deposit of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant for each Artemis Unit withdrawn. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Artemis Units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Q.

If I am an Artemis Warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Artemis Warrants?

A.No. The holders of Artemis Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to such securities.

Assuming that no more than 10,062,500 Public Shares, representing 50% of the Public Shares issued in connection with the IPO, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $102.6 million from the Trust Account, which is a potential amount of redemptions, and assuming that each redeeming Artemis Public Stockholder holds one-half of one Public Warrant for each Public Share being redeemed (representing the number of Public Warrants included in each Artemis Unit) and using the closing warrant price on Nasdaq of $0.35 as of March 29, 2022 (the trading day before the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement), the aggregate fair value of Artemis Warrants that can be retained by redeeming stockholders is approximately $1,760,938. Assuming that all 20,125,000 Public Shares issued in connection with the IPO are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $205.3 million from the Trust Account, and assuming that each redeeming Artemis Public Stockholder holds one-half of one Public Warrant for each Public Share being redeemed (representing the number of Public Warrants included in each Artemis Unit) and using the closing warrant price on Nasdaq of $0.35 as of March 29, 2022 (the trading day before the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement), the aggregate fair value of Artemis Warrants that can be retained by redeeming stockholders is approximately $3,521,875. The actual market price of the Artemis Warrants may be higher or lower on the date that warrant holders seek to sell such Artemis Warrants. Additionally, Artemis cannot assure the holders of warrants that they will be able to sell their Artemis Warrants in the open market as there may not be sufficient liquidity in such securities when warrant holders wish to sell their Artemis Warrants. Further, while the level of redemptions of Public Shares will not directly change the value of the warrants because the warrants will remain outstanding regardless of the level of redemptions, as redemptions of Public Shares increase, the holder of PubCo Warrants following the Closing who exercises such PubCo Warrants will ultimately own a greater interest in PubCo because there would be fewer shares outstanding overall. See “Risk Factors — Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause PubCo’s stock price to decline.”

Q.

I am an Artemis Warrant holder. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A.As a holder of Artemis Warrants, which will become PubCo Warrants in connection with the Business Combination, following consummation of the Business Combination you will be entitled to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share in lieu of one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock, at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with the exercise period beginning 30 days following the Closing. This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about PubCo and Novibet, and the business of PubCo and its subsidiaries (including Novibet) following consummation of the Business Combination. Since Artemis Warrants will become exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares following consummation of the Business Combination, we urge you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety.

Q.

How do the Public Warrants differ from the Private Placement Warrants and what are the related risks for any Public Warrant holders after the Business Combination?

A.The Public Warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants in material terms and provisions, except that the Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by PubCo for cash so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Artemis Anchor Investors, or any of its or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the

18

Table of Contents

Sponsor, Artemis Anchor Investors, or any of its or their permitted transferees, they will be redeemable by PubCo and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Sponsor and Artemis Anchor Investors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants, including the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees), until 30 days after the Closing of the initial business combination. For a description of the circumstances in which PubCo may redeem the PubCo Warrants, see “Description of PubCo Warrants.”

We are registering the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the PubCo Warrants at this time. Further, the Assumed Warrant Agreement requires us to maintain a current prospectus relating to the PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the PubCo Warrants until the PubCo Warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the Closing, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise PubCo Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption from registration.

Q.

What happens if a substantial number of Artemis Public Stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their Redemption rights?

A.The Artemis Public Stockholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and exercise their Redemption rights. The Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Artemis Public Stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of the Artemis Public Stockholders’ exercise of their redemption rights, so long as the funds in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Redemptions and the payment of Transaction Expenses), together with the cash on Artemis’s balance sheet and the aggregate amount of net proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement entered into by Novibet, PubCo or Artemis between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and Closing, equals or exceeds $12,500,000 at all times prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement, which is referred to as the Minimum Closing Cash Condition, provided that the Minimum Closing Cash Condition may be waived by Novibet in its sole discretion. In addition, the Business Combination will not be consummated if, immediately prior to or upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Artemis does not have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets after giving effect to the Redemptions.

In the event of significant Redemptions, with fewer Public Shares and Artemis Public Stockholders, the trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares may be less liquid than the market for shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock was prior to the Business Combination, and PubCo may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. If PubCo’s securities are not listed on Nasdaq or another recognized stock exchange in the United States and certain other conditions are not met, UK stamp duty may be chargeable on transfers of PubCo’s securities. Additionally, if the Trust Account proceeds that would be available to PubCo upon the Closing are less than $100 million, PubCo will have less cash available to pursue its anticipated growth strategies and new initiatives, including Novibet’s acquisition strategy. As a result, PubCo’s results of operations and financial condition may be worse than projected.

Q.

What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A.Of the net proceeds of Artemis’s IPO and the simultaneous private placement of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $205,275,000 was placed in the Trust Account immediately following the IPO. As of June 30, 2022, there was investments of $205,551,462 held in the Trust Account. Prior to the Effective Time, the funds in the Trust Account will be released to Artemis and used by Artemis to pay holders of the Public Shares who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, and for other expenses and unpaid liabilities incurred by Artemis following the IPO, including repayment of loans and reimbursement of expenses to Artemis’s directors, officers, and stockholders. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Artemis for working capital expenses. Thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate and any remaining funds shall be released to PubCo.

Q.

What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A.If Artemis does not complete the Business Combination with Novibet (or another initial business combination) by the Liquidation Date, Artemis must redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, derived based on the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (approximately $      per share as of the record date).

Q.

When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

A.It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the Special Meeting which is scheduled for [], 2022; however, such meeting could be adjourned, as described above.

Q.

When and where will the Special Meeting take place?

A.The Special Meeting will be held virtually on           , 2022, at           a.m., Eastern time. In light of ongoing developments related to COVID-19, and the related protocols that governments have implemented, the Artemis Board determined that the Special Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast. The Artemis Board believes that this is the right choice for Artemis and its stockholders at this time, as it permits stockholders to attend and participate in the Special Meeting while safeguarding the health and safety of the Artemis Stockholders, directors and management team. You may attend the Special Meeting webcast by accessing the web portal located at https://[] and following the instructions set forth below. Stockholders participating in the Special Meeting will be able to listen only and will not be able to speak during the webcast. However, in order to maintain the interactive nature of the Special Meeting, virtual attendees will be able to:
vote via the web portal during the Special Meeting webcast; and
submit questions or comments to Artemis’s directors and officers during the Special Meeting via the Special Meeting webcast.

Because the Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, there will be no physical location for stockholders to attend

Q.

What do I need to do now?

A.Artemis urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder and/or warrant holder of Artemis. Stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q.

How do I vote?

A.If you are a holder of record of Artemis Common Stock on the record date, you may vote virtually at the Special Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Special Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or

21

Table of Contents

nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote virtually, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:

How do I attend the Special Meeting?

A.Due to health concerns stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and to support the health and well-being of the Artemis Stockholders, the Special Meeting will be held virtually. Any stockholder wishing to virtually attend the Special Meeting must register in advance. To register for and attend the Special Meeting, please follow these instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of Artemis Class A Common Stock:
Shares Held of Record. If you are a record holder, and you wish to attend the virtual Special Meeting, go to [         ], enter the control number you received on your proxy card or notice of the meeting and click on the [“Click here to preregister for the online meeting”] link at the top of the page. Immediately prior to the start of the Special Meeting, you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number. You must register before the meeting starts.
Shares Held in Street Name. If you hold your shares in “street” name, which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, and you wish to attend the virtual Special Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the stockholder of record and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of your proxy to []. Holders should contact their bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding obtaining a proxy. Holders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the Special Meeting. You will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the Special Meeting. ”Street name” holders should contact [] on or before close of business on [], 2022.

Stockholders will also have the option to listen to the Special Meeting by telephone by calling:

Within the U.S. and Canada: (toll-free)
Outside of the U.S. and Canada: (standard rates apply)

The passcode for telephone access: [     ] #. You will not be able to vote or submit questions unless you register for and log in to the Special Meeting webcast as described above.

Q.

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A.No. As disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares on the Business Combination Proposal unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. Failure to instruct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote, which we refer to as a Broker Non-Vote, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the Business Combination Proposal because an absolute percentage of affirmative votes is required to approve the proposal, regardless of how many votes are cast, and Broker Non-Votes are not an affirmative vote. Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal because such proposal requires approval by a majority of the votes cast by Artemis Stockholders and Broker Non-Votes are not “votes cast”. Broker Non-Votes will not be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum for the Special Meeting.

Q.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A.If your shares of Artemis Common Stock are registered directly in your name with Continental you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and access to proxy materials is being provided directly to you. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, which are considered to be held in street name. Access to proxy materials is being provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares.

Direct holders (stockholders of record). For Artemis Common Stock held directly by you, please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card (or cast your vote by telephone or internet as provided on each proxy card) or otherwise follow the voting

Table of Contents

instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to ensure that all of your shares of Artemis Common Stock are voted.

Shares in “street name.” For Artemis Common Stock held in “street name” through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you should follow the procedures provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to vote your shares.

Q.

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A.Yes. If you are a stockholder of record as of the record date you may send a later dated, signed proxy card to Artemis at the address set forth below so that it is received by Artemis’s proxy solicitor prior to the vote at the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting virtually and vote. Only your latest dated proxy card will be counted. Stockholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Artemis’s proxy solicitor, which must be received by Artemis’s proxy solicitor prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.

If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee as of the close of business on the record date, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.

Q.

What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting?

A.If you fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting, such failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “against” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is approved by stockholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder and/or warrant holder of PubCo. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder and/or warrant holder of Artemis.

Q.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A.Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Artemis Class A Common Stock.

Q.

What happens if I sell my Artemis Common Stock before the Special Meeting?

A.The record date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting and earlier than the date the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares after the record date, but before the Special Meeting date, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting.

Q.

What should I do with my share and/or warrant certificates?

A.Warrant holders and those stockholders who do not elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the Trust Account should wait for instructions from Artemis’s transfer agent regarding what to do with their certificates. Artemis Stockholders who exercise their redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares must deliver their share certificates to Artemis’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) no later than [time] Eastern time two business days prior to the Special Meeting as described above. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Artemis Warrants, by their terms, will entitle holders to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares. Therefore, warrant holders need not deliver their Artemis Warrants to Artemis or PubCo at that time.

Q.

Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A.Artemis has engaged a professional proxy firm, [], to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. Artemis has agreed to pay [] a fee of $[] plus disbursements. Artemis will also reimburse [] for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify [] and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses.

23

Artemis will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Artemis Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth therein, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo, in consideration for receiving at Closing (a) an amount of cash, which will not exceed $50,000,000, equal to the excess of Gross Closing Proceeds over $100,000,000 (the “Closing Cash Consideration”), (b) a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (“Closing Share Consideration”) equal to (i) (x) $500 million minus the Initial Share Premium minus the Closing Cash Consideration actually paid to Komisium, the difference divided by (y) $10.20, and (c) in the event that redemptions by Artemis’s public stockholders equal or exceed 85% of the outstanding Artemis Class A Common Stock (as defined below), an additional 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Closing Share Consideration”). If redemptions by Artemis’s public stockholders are less

27

Table of Contents

than 85%, the Additional Closing Share Consideration will be deferred and 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Deferred Share Consideration”) will be issued upon the satisfaction of certain earnout conditions.

In addition to the Closing Cash Consideration, Closing Share Consideration, Additional Closing Consideration (if any) and Deferred Share Consideration (if any), Komisium (i) will retain the 65,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares to which the Initial Share Premium relates, and (ii) may receive a maximum of additional 10,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares in earnout consideration (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Deferred Share Consideration and Earnout Consideration will be payable as follows:

In the event that the Redemptions are less than 85% of the outstanding Public Shares, PubCo shall issue to Komisium, (A) on the date that the 2023 Earnout Threshold (as defined below) is achieved (if at all), 6,127,451 PubCo Ordinary Shares, (B) on the date that the 2024 Earnout Threshold (as defined below) is achieved (if at all), 6,127,451 PubCo Ordinary Shares, (C) on the date that the Catch-up Earnout Threshold (as defined below) is achieved (if at all), 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares, and (D) immediately prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares.
If PubCo and its Subsidiaries, as a whole, generate an amount of Net Gaming Revenue in the fiscal year 2023 greater than or equal to an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) multiplied by Net Gaming Revenue in the fiscal year 2022 (the “2023 Earnout Threshold”) as reported in PubCo’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed by PubCo with the SEC, then PubCo shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the date that such Form 20-F is filed with the SEC) issue or cause to be issued to Komisium a one-time additional 5,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “2023 Contingent Share Consideration”)
If PubCo and its Subsidiaries, as a whole, generate an amount of Net Gaming Revenue in the fiscal year 2024 greater than or equal to an amount equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) multiplied by Net Gaming Revenue in the fiscal year 2023 (the “2024 Earnout Threshold”) as reported in PubCo’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed by PubCo with the SEC, then PubCo shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the date that such Form 20-F is filed with the SEC) issue or cause to be issued to Komisium a one-time additional 5,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “2024 Contingent Share Consideration”);
In the event that the 2023 Earnout Threshold was not achieved, if PubCo and its Subsidiaries, as a whole, generate an amount of Net Gaming Revenue in the fiscal year 2024 greater than or equal to an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) multiplied by Net Gaming Revenue in the fiscal year 2022 (the “Catch-up Earnout Threshold”), as reported in PubCo’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed by PubCo with the SEC, then PubCo shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the date that such Form 20-F is filed with the SEC) issue to Komisium a one-time additional amount of PubCo Ordinary Shares calculated as 10,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares minus any 2024 Contingent Share Consideration which has been issued to Komisium (the “Catch-up Contingent Share Consideration”).

If there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of PubCo prior to the fifth Business Day after the date on which PubCo files its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously paid, PubCo shall issue to Komisium a one-time additional amount of PubCo Ordinary Shares calculated as 10,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares minus any 2023 Contingent Share Consideration which has been issued to Komisium.

Merger of Artemis

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Artemis Class B Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock subject to the terms of the Existing Artemis Charter and the Sponsor Support Agreement. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, the Merger of Merger Sub with and into Artemis will occur, and Artemis will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. As a result of the Merger, (a) each issued and outstanding share of Artemis Class A Common Stock (including the Artemis Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Artemis Class B Common Stock, but not including shares redeemed by the Artemis Public Stockholders and certain other excluded Artemis shares) shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share and (b) each outstanding whole Artemis Warrant will be assumed by PubCo and will be thereafter exercisable in accordance with the

28

Table of Contents

terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement for one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with the exercise period beginning thirty (30) days after the Closing.

Ownership of PubCo following the Business Combination

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the post-Closing share ownership of PubCo under (1) the No Redemptions Scenario, (2) the 50% Redemptions Scenario and (3) the 100% Redemptions Scenario, excluding the dilutive effect of outstanding Artemis Warrants, the Deferred Share Consideration, and the Earnout Consideration would be as follows:

(1)Represents the shares acquired by Komisium in PubCo in exchange for shares of Novibet in the Share Exchange, after taking into account the Initial Share Premium, the Closing Cash Consideration, and the Additional Closing Share Consideration. In the No Redemptions Scenario, assumes an aggregate of $50.0 million of Closing Cash Consideration. In the 50% Redemptions Scenario, assumes an aggregate of approximately $2.6 million of Closing Cash Consideration. In the 100% Redemptions Scenario, assumes no Closing Cash Consideration plus the Additional Closing Share Consideration.
(2)Represents 3,412,816 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor.
(3)Represents 1,618,434 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock held by the Artemis Anchor Investors. Does not include Public Shares held by the Artemis Anchor Investors, as such shares are redeemable and are not subject to voting or transfer restrictions.
(4)This scenario assumes that 10,062,500 Public Shares, or 50% of the Public Shares, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $102.6 million from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur.
(5)This scenario assumes that all 20,125,000 Public Shares, or 100% of the Public Shares, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $205.3 million from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur.
(6)Share ownership and voting power presented under each redemptions scenario in the table above are only presented for illustrative purposes. Artemis cannot predict how many Artemis Public Stockholders will exercise their right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above. As such, the ownership percentages of current Artemis Stockholders may also differ from the presentation above if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination — The ability of the Artemis Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of the Public Shares may not allow Artemis to complete the Business Combination, have sufficient cash available to fund PubCo’s business or optimize the capital structure of PubCo.”
(7)This table does not include earnout shares and warrants and assumes the Sponsor does not use any of its Class B Common Stock to incentivize non-redemptions.
(8)The 100% Redemption scenario assumes that Komisium will waive the Minimum Closing Cash Condition.
(9)Represents existing shares held by Komisium in PubCo that will not be redeemed at the closing.

Conditions to Closing

The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) approval by Artemis Stockholders of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to Artemis Stockholders in connection with the Business Combination have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance; (iii) the Registration Statement becoming effective; (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of Novibet, Komisium, Merger Sub, PubCo and Artemis, respectively; (v) the absence of any material adverse effect that is continuing with respect to Novibet, Komisium, Merger Sub, PubCo and Artemis, respectively, between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the date of the Closing; (vi) the absence of any governmental order, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination, (vii) solely as a condition to the obligation of Novibet, PubCo and Merger Sub to consummate the Closing, after giving effect to applicable Redemptions and the payment of Transaction Expenses, there is a minimum cash of $12,500,000 contained in the Trust Account maintained by Artemis, on Artemis’s balance sheet and/or from the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement entered into by Novibet, PubCo or Artemis between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and Closing, and (viii) solely as a condition to Artemis’s obligations to consummate the Closing, the Artemis Warrants to be assumed by PubCo in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance.

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned: (i) by mutual written agreement of Artemis and Novibet; (ii) by either Artemis or Novibet if the Business Combination is not consummated by the nine (9) month anniversary of the date of the Business Combination Agreement, provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate if their action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or principally resulted in the failure of the transactions to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) by either Artemis or Novibet if a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination, which order or other action is final and nonappealable; (iv) by either Novibet or Artemis if the approval of the Business Combination by Artemis Stockholders has not been obtained; (v) by Novibet following a modification in the recommendation of the Artemis Board; (vi) by Novibet, PubCo or the Merger Sub if the anticipated Net Closing Proceeds of Artemis are less than $12,500,000 and (vii) by Novibet or Artemis if the other party has an uncured breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the

31

Table of Contents

Business Combination Agreement and, in the case of Artemis only, the Sponsor Support Agreement, that would result in a failure of the satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions. No party will have any liability after the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, except for intentional fraud or a material and willful breach.

Related Agreements

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been entered into, or will be entered into on or prior to the Closing Date, including the following:

Sponsor Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, Artemis and Novibet entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to vote (or cause to be voted) all shares of Artemis Common Stock beneficially held by it (a) in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal, and (b) against (i) any proposal or offer from any other person (other than Novibet or its affiliates) with respect to any competing business combination, (ii) any merger agreement or merger (other than pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements and the Business Combination), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Artemis, (iii) any material change in the business of Artemis or any change in Artemis’s management or the Artemis Board (other than, in each case, in connection pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby), and (iv) any proposal, action or agreement that would or, in each case, would reasonably be expected to (w) impede, frustrate, hinder, interfere with, prevent or nullify the timely consummation of, or otherwise adversely effect, the Business Combination, (x) result in a breach in any material respect (or, in the case of certain fundamental representations and warranties, in any respect) of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Artemis under the Business Combination Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, (y) result in any of the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement not being fulfilled or (z) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital stock of, Artemis. Additionally, the Sponsor agreed not to redeem any shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock or Artemis Class B Common Stock held by it in connection with the Business Combination and to waive the anti-dilution conversion price adjustments set forth in the Existing Artemis Charter with respect to its Artemis Class B Common Stock.

The Sponsor Support Agreement will terminate in its entirety, and be of no further force or effect, upon the earliest of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms, (iii) the liquidation of Artemis, or (iv) the written agreement of the Sponsor, Artemis, and Novibet providing for the termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement. However, the termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement will not relieve any party thereto from liability arising from any intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in the Sponsor Support Agreement or a material and willful breach of the Sponsor Support Agreement that is a consequence of an omission by, or an act undertaken or caused by, the breaching party intentionally and with the knowledge that such omission or taking or causing of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause such material and willful breach.

Investors Agreement

At the Closing, the Sponsor, Komisium and PubCo will enter into the Investors Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and Komisium will agree with PubCo that the PubCo Ordinary Shares held by them will be subject to transfer restrictions until the earlier of (a) 12 months after the Closing or (b) the date on which the closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, bonus share issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the transfer restrictions set forth therein, (i) Komisium will be entitled to transfer that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares acquired by it in the Business Combination (in the form of either Closing Share Consideration or Earnout Consideration) equal to 0.3 multiplied by the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Share Exchange, and (ii) certain other customary transfers will be expressly permitted during the lock-up period.

The Investors Agreement will further provide that: (a) for as long as the Sponsor beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, the Sponsor will be entitled to appoint two members of the PubCo Board; provided that at least one such board member must satisfy Nasdaq diversity

32

Table of Contents

requirements and each such board member must satisfy Nasdaq independence requirements; (b) for as long as the Sponsor is entitled to appoint any member of the PubCo Board pursuant to the Investors Agreement, Komisium will agree to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Sponsor’s nominee appointed to the PubCo Board, including soliciting votes in favor of the election of any such director at any meeting of PubCo’s shareholders; and (c) for as long as the Sponsor or Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, each will agree that it will not, without the approval of the PubCo Board and except as set forth therein, (i) enter into, propose or seek any merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring or other extraordinary transaction involving PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) initiate or participate in any proxy solicitation or (iii) publicly nominate or recommend for nomination a person for election at any PubCo Shareholder meeting.

The Investors Agreement will further provide that: (a) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint three members of the PubCo Board; provided that at least one such board member must satisfy Nasdaq independence requirements; (b) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 40% but less than 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint two members of the PubCo Board, neither of whom will be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements; and (c) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% but less than 40% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint one member of the PubCo Board, who will not be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements.

The Investors Agreement will terminate in its entirety, and be of no further force or effect (i) with respect to the Sponsor or Komisium, when such holder no longer holds any PubCo Ordinary Shares and (ii) with respect to all parties, upon mutual written agreement to terminate the Investors Agreement. However, the termination of the Investors Agreement will not relieve any party from liability for any breach prior to the time of the termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities, or damages arising from such breach.

Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, PubCo, the Sponsor and certain other securityholders of PubCo will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which, upon completion of the Business Combination, the PubCo Ordinary Shares and certain other Registrable Securities described therein held by the Sponsor, Komisium and the other persons specified therein, shall bear the same registration rights as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement entered into on September 29, 2021, with respect to the Sponsor Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and certain other Registrable Securities described therein.

The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the ten-year anniversary of the Closing or (ii) with respect to any holder, on the date that such holder no longer holds Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement

At the Closing, Artemis, PubCo and Continental will enter into the Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement in connection with the Business Combination, pursuant to which as of the Closing, (a) each whole Artemis Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination will be assumed by PubCo and will be exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, for one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share and (b) Artemis will assign to PubCo all of Artemis’s right, title, and interest in and to the existing Warrant Agreement with Continental and PubCo will assume, and agree to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, all of Artemis’s liabilities and obligations under the existing Warrant Agreement arising from and after the Closing.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Artemis Charter, a holder of Public Shares may demand that Artemis redeem such shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. If you are a holder of Artemis Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares regardless of whether you vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or do not vote at all, and regardless of whether you held your Public Shares on the record date.

33

Table of Contents

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares through units and you elect to separate your Artemis Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
prior to [time], Eastern time, on [], 2022 (two business days prior to the scheduled date of the Special Meeting), (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to the transfer agent that Artemis redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your Public Shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

If the Business Combination is not completed, these shares will not be redeemed for cash. In such case, Artemis will promptly return any shares delivered by holders of Public Shares for redemption and such holders may only share in the assets of the Trust Account upon the liquidation of Artemis. This may result in holders receiving less than they would have received if the Business Combination was completed and they had exercised their redemption rights in connection therewith due to potential claims of creditors. If a holder of Public Shares properly demands redemption, Artemis will redeem each Public Share for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Merger. As of [], 2022, the record date, this would amount to approximately $10.20 per share. If a holder of Public Shares exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Artemis Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock into cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such Artemis Public Stockholder or any other person with whom such Artemis Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if an Artemis Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Holders of Artemis Warrants and Artemis Units will not have redemption rights with respect to such securities.

No Appraisal Rights

Artemis Stockholders (including the initial stockholders) and holders of other Artemis securities do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.

The Adjournment Proposal

Artemis may present a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates if Artemis determines that adjournment of the Special Meeting is necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt the Business Combination Proposal or to provide additional time for Artemis to continue to attempt to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Adjournment Proposal.”

Recommendation to Stockholders

The Artemis Board has unanimously determined that each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting is fair and in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders, and recommends that Artemis Stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Artemis’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Artemis’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Artemis Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination

In considering whether to recommend the Business Combination to Artemis’s stockholders, the Artemis board considered factors such as the growth of the online gaming market and Novibet’s ability to capture significant market share in new jurisdictions, Novibet’s diversified revenue mix, Novibet’s historical profitability and year-over-year growth of active customers, Novibet’s highly scalable vertically integrated proprietary technology and software, the strength of Novibet’s management team, the potential for growth through acquisitions, and feedback provided by the Artemis Anchor Investors with respect to the Business Combination.

The Artemis Board considered all of these factors as a whole and, on balance, concluded that they supported a favorable determination that the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination are fair from a financial point of view to and in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Artemis Board in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination and related transactions and the complexity of these matters, the Artemis Board did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its decision. Rather, the Artemis Board based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented to and considered by it. The Artemis Board evaluated the reasons described above with the assistance of Artemis’s outside advisors. In considering the factors described above and any other factors, individual members of the Artemis Board may have viewed factors differently or given different weights to other or different factors.

This explanation of Artemis’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in this sections of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”.

After careful consideration, the Artemis Board unanimously (i) declared the advisability of the Merger, Share Exchange, and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) determined that the Business Combination is in the best interests of the stockholders of Artemis, (iii) determined that the Merger constitute a “Business Combination” as such term is defined in the Existing Artemis Charter and (iv) resolved to recommend that the Artemis Stockholders approve the Business Combination and the other proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Interests of Artemis’s Officers and Directors in the Business Combination

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that Artemis renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Artemis and such opportunity is one Artemis is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for Artemis to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to Artemis without violating another legal obligation. Further, Artemis’ officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled “Other Information Related to Artemis — Conflicts of Interest”. We believe there were no corporate opportunities that were not presented as a result of the provisions in the Existing Artemis Charter or the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities.

When you consider the recommendation of the Artemis Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, including Artemis’s directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to our stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

At the time of our initial public offering, our Sponsor, officers, and directors entered into the Insiders Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Sponsor Shares and any other shares of Artemis Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. Our Sponsor and our officers and directors also agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Sponsor Shares if Artemis fails to complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date. Our Sponsor, officers, and directors did not receive separate consideration for such waivers. Due to such waivers, the value of the Sponsor Shares is dependent on the consummation of a business combination. This may incentivize the Artemis insiders to complete a business combination on terms or conditions that are not in the best interest of the Artemis Public Stockholders.

35

Table of Contents

Our Sponsor owns an aggregate of 3,412,816 Sponsor Shares, which it purchased prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Upon the Closing, such Sponsor Shares will be converted into 3,412,816 PubCo Ordinary Shares, which will represent approximately 4.93% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the No Redemptions Scenario, 5.34% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 50% Redemptions Scenario, or approximately 5.15% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 100% Redemptions Scenario, in each case assuming no Earnout Consideration is issued and without taking into account potential exercises of outstanding PubCo Warrants. Based on the closing price of Artemis Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq of $[] on [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, such Sponsor Shares would be worth approximately $[]. This represents a []% gain on the Sponsor’s investment. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by the Liquidation Date, then the Sponsor Shares will be worthless.
Given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Sponsor Shares as compared to the price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on its investment even if the PubCo Ordinary Shares trade below $10.00 per share and the Artemis Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Public Stockholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Artemis Public Stockholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $10.00 per share.
Artemis’s independent directors have invested an aggregate of approximately $1 million in the Sponsor and are entitled to their pro rata portion of the Sponsor Shares and Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor, or an aggregate of 553,481 Sponsor Shares and 1,646,406 Private Placement Warrants.
Certain of the Artemis Anchor Investors are members of the Sponsor and, as a result of their direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Artemis Class B Common Stock, they may make a substantial profit off of the completion of a business combination even if the Artemis Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return; moreover, if the Artemis Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.
Simultaneously with the Closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate investment of $8 million, in a private placement to our Sponsor. Each Private Placement Warrants is exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing, for one PubCo Ordinary Share at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by the Liquidation Date, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Artemis Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The Private Placement Warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $[] based upon the closing price of $[] per share and $[] per warrant, respectively, on Nasdaq on [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting.
Our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date. In such event, there will be no liquidating distributions made with respect to our Sponsor Shares or the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor. In contrast, Artemis Public Stockholders will receive approximately $10.20 per share if the Trust Account is liquidated, calculated as of [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting.
As disclosed in the prospectus for Artemis’s IPO, the members of Artemis’s management team and its directors have also invested in the Sponsor by subscribing for units issued by the Sponsor. Through their investment in the Sponsor, these officers and directors will share in a portion of any appreciation in Sponsor Shares and Private Placement Warrants, provided that we successfully complete a business combination.
It is currently contemplated that Thomas Granite, current Chief Financial Officer of Artemis, will serve as Chief Financial Officer of PubCo. As such, in the future he may receive any salary, bonus, cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its Chief Financial Officer, though the specific terms of Mr. Granite’s employment with

36

Table of Contents

PubCo have not been discussed. It is also currently contemplated that Holly Gagnon, co-Chief Executive Officer and a director of Artemis, and Philip Kaplan, current co-Chief Executive Officer of Artemis, will serve as directors of PubCo after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its directors.
If Artemis is unable to complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date, in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Artemis if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Artemis, or a prospective target business with which Artemis has entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If Artemis completes a business combination, on the other hand, PubCo will be liable for all such claims.
Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Artemis and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Artemis for working capital expenses. If Artemis does not complete an initial Business Combination within the required period, Artemis may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay any then outstanding working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for a period of six years following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo is required to (i) maintain provisions in the Restated Articles providing for the indemnification of Artemis’s existing directors and officers and (ii) maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that covers Artemis’s existing directors and officers.
Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination. However, if Artemis fails to consummate an initial business combination, such persons will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement and Artemis may not be able to reimburse these expenses. As of August 29, 2022, there were no reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses that are expected to be reimbursed using funds from the Trust Account at Closing.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and Artemis’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Artemis Public Stockholders. In the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $42.8 million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of (a) approximately $34.8 million representing the value of the Sponsor Shares (assuming a value of $10.20 per share, the deemed value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination) and (b) $8 million representing the value of the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor (using the $1.00 per warrant purchase price). As of August 29, 2022, there were no outstanding loans, fees or out-of-pocket expenses for which the Sponsor, its affiliates or Artemis’s directors or officers were awaiting reimbursement.

Interests of Novibet’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Artemis Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that Novibet’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Business Combination that are different

37

Table of Contents

from, or in addition to, those of the Artemis Stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

George Athanasopoulos, who is currently Novibet’s Chief Executive Officer, is expected to become the Chief Executive Officer of PubCo upon the closing of the Business Combination. Mr. Athanasopoulos would be entitled to salary and any cash fees, stock options, or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay its officers.
Rodolfo Odoni, who is currently the ultimate beneficial owner of Novibet and the owner of Komisium, is expected to become executive chairman of the PubCo Board upon the closing of the Business Combination. As such, in the future he may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its directors.

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Artemis or its securities, the Sponsor, Novibet, Komisium, or the equity holders of Artemis and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or who redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, their Public Shares, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Artemis Common Stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates would be purchased at a price no higher than the redemption price for the Public Shares, which is currently estimated to be $10.20 per share. Any Public Shares so purchased would not be voted by the Sponsor or its affiliates at the Special Meeting and would not be redeemable by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of Redemptions. While the nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including, subject to the Investors Agreement, the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than the market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination Proposal to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Artemis will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination is comprised of a series of transactions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. For accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be effected through three main steps:

1.Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo which is accounted for as a “ common control business combination” whereby PubCo will be the successor to Novibet, the accounting predecessor.

2.The “common control business combination” will be immediately followed by PubCo acquiring Artemis, which will be effectuated by Merger Sub merging with and into Artemis, with Artemis being the surviving entity. Artemis is not recognized as a “business” under IFRS 3 because it consists primarily of cash held in a bank and in the Trust Account. PubCo’s acquisition of Artemis will be accounted for as an “asset acquisition” in accordance with IAS 8 and IFRS 2.

3.Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo in consideration for the Closing Cash Consideration, Closing Share Consideration (including the right of Komisium to retain the PubCo Ordinary Shares to which the Initial Share Premium relates), and, if the earnout conditions are met, the Earnout Consideration.

38

Table of Contents

While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination is PubCo, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under IFRS, Novibet will be the accounting acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of PubCo will reflect the net assets of Novibet, the accounting predecessor, and Artemis at historical cost, with no additional goodwill recognized.

Regulatory Approvals and Notifications

The Business Combination is not subject as a closing condition to any foreign, federal, state or foreign regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the Merger. However, Novibet is required to notify applicable gambling and company registry authorities in the Isle of Man, Ireland, Greece, Malta and Italy of the occurrence of the Business Combination.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of Artemis’s Stockholders

The Special Meeting of the Artemis Stockholders will be held virtually at [                 ] a.m., Eastern time, on [                  ], 2022, and accessible at [                  ] or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the Business Combination Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

Artemis Stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if they owned shares of Artemis Common Stock at the close of business on [                    ], 2022, which is the record date for the Special Meeting. Artemis Stockholders will have one vote for each share of Artemis Class A Common Stock and each share of Artemis Class B Common Stock owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Artemis Warrants do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 20,125,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock outstanding and 5,031,250 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock outstanding.

Quorum and Required Vote of Artemis Stockholders

A quorum of Artemis Stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum for the Special Meeting will consist of the holders present in person (including virtually) or by proxy of shares representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock entitled to vote. The shares of Artemis Common Stock held by Sponsor will count towards this quorum. Abstentions will count as present for purposes of establishing a quorum; Broker Non-Votes will not. The proposals presented at the Special Meeting will require the following votes:

Business Combination Proposal: Pursuant to the DGCL, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock as of the record date, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will count as votes “against” the Business Combination Proposal because an absolute percentage of affirmative votes is required to approve the proposal, regardless of how many votes are cast, and abstentions and Broker Non-Votes are not an affirmative vote.

Adjournment Proposal: Pursuant to the Existing Artemis Charter, the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority holders of a majority of the shares of Artemis Common Stock that are voted at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote of such proposal because abstentions and Broker Non-Votes are not votes cast.

The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Neither the Business Combination Proposal nor the Adjournment Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. The proposals are more fully described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which each stockholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

Certain Voting Arrangements

In connection with our initial public offering, our Sponsor entered into a letter agreement to vote its shares of Sponsor Shares, and well as any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor during or after Artemis’s initial public offering, in favor of Artemis’s initial business combination. Further, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to vote all voting equity securities owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, Business Combination, and all other proposals being presented at the

39

Table of Contents

Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor owns approximately 13.6% of the total outstanding Artemis Common Stock. Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by the Sponsor, Artemis would need 9,165,310 Public Shares, or approximately 45.5% of the 20,125,000 shares sold in Artemis’s initial public offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved. Moreover, the Artemis Anchor Investors own approximately 9.5 million Public Shares based on the latest available public filings. Although the Artemis Anchor Investors are not required to hold their Artemis Units or Public Shares for any amount of time, or to vote or not redeem their Public Shares, if the Artemis Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Artemis has engaged [] to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares virtually if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “Special Meeting of Artemis Stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of Artemis and Shareholders of PubCo

If the Business Combination is successfully completed, holders of Public Shares will become holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, and their rights as shareholders will be governed by PubCo’s organizational documents, including the Restated Articles. There are also differences between the laws governing Artemis, a Delaware corporation, and PubCo, a United Kingdom public limited company. Please see the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of PubCo Shareholders and Artemis Stockholders”.

Foreign Private Issuer

PubCo will be considered a “foreign private issuer” under SEC rules following the consummation of the Business Combination. For so long a PubCo qualifies as a foreign private issuer, it will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as a U.S. company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, and will also be exempt from the certain SEC and Nasdaq rules and regulations, including:

Exemption from filing quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information or current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events;
Exemption from the requirement to comply with Regulation FD, which regulates selective disclosure of material non-public information by issuers;
Exemption from Section 16 under the Exchange Act, which requires insiders to file public reports of their securities ownership and trading activities and provides for liability for insiders who profit from trades in a short period of time;
Exemption from Nasdaq rules applicable to domestic issuers requiring disclosure within four business days of any determination to grant a waiver of the code of business conduct and ethics to directors and officers;
Exemption from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including shareholder approval of share option plans;
Exemption from the requirement that our audit committee have review and oversight responsibilities over all “related party transactions,” as defined in Item 7.B of Form 20-F;
Exemption from the requirement that our board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
Exemption from the requirements that director nominees are selected, or recommended for selection by our board of directors, either by (i) independent directors constituting a majority of our board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate, or (ii) a committee comprised solely of independent directors, and that a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process is adopted.

Table of Contents

As a result, PubCo Shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Controlled Company

Upon completion of the business combination, Komisium will control a majority of the voting power of PubCo’s outstanding shares. As a result of its voting control, Komisium will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove directors, Komisium will indirectly effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and other matters of corporate or management policy. This concentration of ownership may delay or deter possible changes in control and limit the liquidity of the trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares, which may reduce the value of an investment such shares. See “Risk Factors — Following the completion of the Business Combination, Komisium will control PubCo, and its interests may conflict with yours in the future” for more information.

Additionally, under Nasdaq rules, a listed company of which more than 50.0% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by any person or group of persons acting together is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirement (i) that a majority of the PubCo Board consist of independent directors, as defined under Nasdaq rules, (ii) to have a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iii) to have director nominees selected, or recommended for the PubCo Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (iv) to have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. PubCo plans to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” following the business combination. Accordingly, following the business combination, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of PubCo’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

PubCo will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of Artemis’s initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, a stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Some of the risks related to PubCo and Artemis are summarized below:

Novibet operates in a highly competitive industry, and many of its competitors have significant advantages over Novibet.
Novibet’s business is vulnerable to economic downturns and other forces placing pressure on consumer discretionary spending.
Novibet’s reputation, business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by data breaches, cybersecurity issues and other privacy and data protection concerns.
Novibet’s business is subject to an increasingly complex and varied set of regulations and tax laws under numerous jurisdictions, and its compliance burden will continue to increase with the shifting expectations of regulators in various jurisdictions and also as it continues to expand its business into additional jurisdictions.
Market and industry volatility could have a material adverse effect on PubCo’s results.
Novibet faces significant domestic and international competition, and there is a possibility that increased use of competitive services could cause its sales to decline.
The online gambling industry is cyclical, and prolonged economic declines would have a material adverse effect on Novibet’s business.
Novibet’s operations could be materially affected by labor interruptions and difficulties.
Novibet’s ability to generate revenue will be dependent on its ability to maintain its customer base and develop new customers.
Currency fluctuations, including a significant increase in the value of the euro, could have a materially adverse effect on PubCo’s financial performance and financial position.
Artemis’s current directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to the interests of Artemis Public Stockholders. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination with Novibet.
The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how the Artemis Public Stockholders vote.
The exercise of discretion by Artemis’s directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of the Artemis Stockholders.
The PubCo securities to be received by Artemis Stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from Artemis’s securities and Artemis Stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of the Business Combination. Having a minority share position in PubCo may reduce the influence that Artemis’s current stockholders have on the management of the combined company.
The Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of the Private Placement Warrants could have a material effect on the financial results of PubCo following the Business Combination.

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and PubCo’s ordinary share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
If the Artemis Public Stockholders fail to properly demand redemption of their shares, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Recent Developments

Discontinuance of United Kingdom Operations

On February 21, 2022, Novibet’s subsidiary, Novigroup Ltd. voluntarily surrendered its combined remote operating license issued by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain (“UKGC”) and ceased to offer facilities for gambling to customers in Great Britain (the “U.K. market”). The decision to withdraw from the U.K. market was influenced by several commercial factors.

Since Novigroup Ltd. commenced operations in the U.K. market in late 2014, local market performance and growth was achieved consistent with Novibet’s expectations. Novigroup Ltd. served more than 300,000 U.K. customers and grew the brand’s recognition in a highly competitive market. However, increased regulatory enforcement and oversight within the U.K. market over the last few years, and the impending U.K. Government Gambling Act review and UKGC consultation on customer interaction (commonly referred to as the “affordability consultation”), had the potential to alter the forward looking profitability expectations for the U.K. market. Novigroup Ltd. kept these potential political and regulatory developments under close review since 2019 and with increased focus during 2021, in particular given the likely commercial impact on the business. During 2021, Novibet was also reconsidering the strategic significance of the U.K. market following the new Greek license arrangements for Novibet becoming effective in August 2021. Regulatory developments in the U.K. that had already had an impact on the Novibet business included (but are not limited to) a 2.5 second time limit between each spin on online slots and an increase of the remote gaming duty rate from 15% to 21%. Furthermore, imminent changes to gambling regulation in the U.K. have the potential to introduce affordability checks on customers reaching a low loss threshold in any calendar month and could lead to the introduction of stake limits for online slots. In the event that further materially restrictive legislative changes were to be implemented in the U.K. market in Novigroup Ltd.’s view, these would be likely to have further impact on the overall business model and consequently the viability of the U.K. market going forward.

In December 2021, Novigroup Ltd. received a notice from the UKGC of a compliance assessment. Compliance assessments are regularly conducted by the UKGC to determine whether license holders are carrying out their activities in accordance with the terms of their license and applicable laws and regulations. The compliance assessment was conducted in late January 2022 over five days. The UKGC issued a follow up letter on February 15, 2022 indicating that in the UKGC’s view, among other things, Novigroup Ltd.’s controls and procedures did not sufficiently mitigate the risk of potential money laundering or terrorist financing and that its customer identification and interaction processes and procedures failed to identify customers who may be at risk of harm associated with gambling.

Immediately following the compliance assessment (and prior to its receipt of the aforementioned UKGC letter), on January 31, 2022, Novigroup Ltd. submitted a detailed action plan which sought to address the concerns identified by the UKGC during the compliance assessment and at that time immediately began to implement the plan (including phased steps for short, medium and longer term actions) in order to provide assurance to the UKGC that those areas identified as risks were being addressed and mitigated. The plan proposed a number of measures formulated to address concerns raised including, among other things, engaging independent consultants, hiring additional personnel with relevant experience, improving anti-money laundering systems and controls and compliance functions, improving policies and systems relating to responsible gaming.

Despite Novigroup Ltd.’s submission and immediate implementation of parts of the plan in the phases identified, as referred to above, on February 15, 2022, the UKGC issued a letter advising that it was considering whether to open a regulatory investigation and setting out the list of its concerns from the compliance assessment. A regulatory investigation (also known as a license review) is undertaken by the UKGC for various reasons, including (but not limited to) if it has reason to suspect that activities may have been carried on in purported reliance on the license but not in accordance with a condition of the license. There are a number of potential outcomes to a regulatory investigation, including (but not limited to) revocation of the license, suspension of the license, imposition of a penalty, imposition of additional license conditions or a warning (or a combination of these outcomes). Alternatively, a regulatory investigation may conclude with a regulatory settlement, including a payment in lieu of a financial penalty. Had any such regulatory process been initiated by the UKGC, Novigroup Ltd. would have had the opportunity during that process to make detailed

43

Table of Contents

representations in relation to the operation of its U.K. business and its compliance processes. No further action was taken by the UKGC following the surrender of the U.K. license.

In the wider context of Novibet’s international growth plans, after consideration of its commercial expectations for the U.K. market and the potential impacts of a regulatory investigation, including the expense and diversion of the management time, the potential outcomes of a regulatory investigation and the potential impact on Novibet’s business model in the U.K., on February 21, 2022, Novigroup Ltd. voluntarily surrendered its license to operate in the U.K. and exited the U.K. market in order to focus on markets with greater growth potential and less uncertainty in relation to the trajectory of gambling regulatory reform. Novigroup Ltd. is currently winding down its U.K. operations in an orderly fashion and in compliance with all applicable local laws and requirements and was, throughout the compliance assessment process engaged proactively and positively with the UKGC. Novibet is committed to making gambling safer and despite exiting the U.K. market, Novigroup Ltd. is assessing whether certain aspects of the plan originally submitted to the UKGC prior to the surrender of its U.K. license (and which plan is not now relevant to the U.K. market given the closure of the UK business) would nonetheless be appropriate to implement in other jurisdictions (having regard to the local laws and regulations in place in those jurisdictions and that regulations differ in a number of respects in such local jurisdictions), with the aim of continuously improving its regulatory compliance processes.

The projections and prospective information included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any results attributable to the U.K. market, except for the first two months of 2022, which include historical results prior to the discontinuance of operations in the U.K.

UNAUDITED HISTORICAL COMPARATIVE AND PRO FORMA

COMBINED PER SHARE DATA OF ARTEMIS AND NOVIBET

The following table sets forth summary historical comparative share and unit information for Artemis and Novibet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of Artemis after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming three redemptions scenarios as follows:

Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no Artemis Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares.
Assuming 50% Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that Artemis will satisfy the requirement to have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if one-half of all Artemis Public Stockholders holding 10,062,500 Public Shares exercise their redemption rights for approximately $102.6 million of funds in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2021, or approximately $10.20 per share.
Assuming Maximum Redemptions:  This presentation assumes that Artemis will satisfy the requirement to have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if all Artemis Public Stockholders holding 20,125,000 Public Shares exercise their redemption rights for the approximately $205.3 million of funds in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2021, or approximately $10.20 per share.

The unaudited pro forma book value information and the weighted average shares outstanding and net earnings per share information reflect the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net profit per common share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with the summary historical financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the historical financial statements of Artemis and Novibet and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of Novibet and Artemis is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma combined earnings per share information below does not purport to represent the earnings per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the periods presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma combined book value per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of Artemis and Novibet would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented.

RISK FACTORS

Unless the context otherwise requires, in this section, “Novibet”, the “Company”, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the business and operations of Novibet prior to the Business Combination and to the business and operations of PubCo following the Business Combination. Stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and trading price of PubCo following the Business Combination. This proxy statement/prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The risks discussed below may not prove to be exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by Artemis and Novibet, which later may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. PubCo and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses and operations may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that are currently deemed immaterial, but which may also ultimately have an adverse effect on any such party.

Risks Related to Novibet’s Business and Industry

Competition within the broader entertainment industry is intense and is increasing. Our existing and potential customers may be attracted to competing online gaming and sports betting options, as well as other forms of entertainment such as television, movies, sporting events and in-person casinos. If our offerings do not continue to be popular with existing customers and attract potential new customers, our ability to expand our business as we have in the past may be adversely affected, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity would be harmed.

Novibet operates in the global entertainment and gaming industries within the broader entertainment industry with its consumer-oriented offerings such as online gaming and sports betting. Our customers face a vast array of entertainment choices. Other forms of entertainment, such as television, movies, sporting events and in-person casinos, are well-established and may be perceived by our customers to offer greater variety, affordability, interactivity and enjoyment. We will compete with these other forms of entertainment for the discretionary time and income of our customers. If we are unable to sustain sufficient interest in our online gaming and sports betting platforms in comparison to other forms of entertainment, including new forms of entertainment, our business model may not continue to be viable.

Our success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and satisfy customer preferences in a timely manner. As we will operate in a dynamic environment characterized by rapidly changing industry and legal standards, our products will be subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. We will need to continually introduce new offerings and identify future product offerings that complement our existing platforms, respond to our customers’ needs and improve and enhance our existing platforms to maintain or increase our customer engagement and growth of our business. We may not be able to compete effectively unless our product selection keeps up with trends in the digital sports entertainment and gaming industries in which we compete, or trends in new gaming products.

Since the online gaming and sports betting industry is characterized by dynamic customer demand and technological advances, resulting in intense competition among online gaming, sports betting, and entertainment providers. A number of established, well-financed companies producing online gaming, sports betting and/or interactive entertainment products and services compete with our offerings, and other well-capitalized companies may introduce effective competitive services. Such competitors may spend more money and time on developing and testing products and services, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing or promotional policies or otherwise develop more commercially successful products or services than ours, which could negatively impact our business. Our competitors may also develop products, features or services that are similar to ours or that achieve greater market acceptance. Such competitors may also undertake more far-reaching and successful product development efforts or marketing campaigns, or may adopt more aggressive pricing policies.

49

Table of Contents

Furthermore, new competitors, whether licensed or not, may enter the online gaming and sports betting industry. There has also been considerable consolidation among competitors in the entertainment and gaming industries and such consolidation and future consolidation could result in the formation of larger competitors with increased financial resources and altered cost structures, which may enable them to offer more competitive products, gain a larger market share, expand offerings and broaden their geographic scope of operations. If we are not able to maintain or improve our market share, or if our offerings do not continue to be popular, our business could suffer.

Economic downturns and political and market conditions beyond our control could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our financial performance and prospects are subject to global economic conditions, in particular in Europe and the Americas, and their impact on levels of spending by our customers. Economic recessions have had, and may continue to have, far reaching adverse consequences across many industries, including the global entertainment and gaming industries, which may adversely affect our business and financial condition. In the past decade, global and European economies have experienced tepid growth following the financial crisis in 2008 – 2009 and there appears to be an increasing risk of a recession due to international trade and monetary policy, the COVID-19 pandemic (including the emergence of variants of concern, such as the Delta and Omicron variants that emerged in the second half of 2021), significant consumer price inflation trends, the war in Ukraine, and the U.S.-China dispute regarding Taiwan, which may accelerate inflationary trends leading to global economic instability and significant reductions in discretionary consumer spending, and other factors. If the international economic recovery slows or stalls, particularly in Europe and in the Americas, and if these economies experience another recession or if any of the relevant regional or local economies in our current or future market areas suffers a downturn, we may experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

In addition, changes in general market, economic and political conditions in domestic and foreign economies or financial markets, including rising inflation and fluctuations in stock markets resulting from, among other things, trends in the economy as a whole, may reduce customers’ disposable income. Any one of these changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Our operations in Europe and planned future operations in the Americas are subject to the economic, political, regulatory, and other risks of international operations.

We conduct business in numerous countries in Europe and expect to commence operations in various countries, states and provinces in the Americas that carry high levels of currency, political, compliance and economic risk. Operations in these countries can present many risks, including volatility in gross domestic product and rates of economic growth, financial and governmental instability, cultural differences (such as employment and business practices) and the imposition of exchange and capital controls.

Instability and uncertainties arising from the global geopolitical environment and the evolving international and domestic political, regulatory, and economic landscape, including the potential for changes in global trade policies, including sanctions and trade barriers, and trends such as populism, economic nationalism and negative sentiment toward multinational companies (including gaming businesses), as well as the cost of compliance with increasingly complex and often conflicting regulations worldwide, can impair our flexibility in modifying our product offerings, marketing, hiring or other strategies for growing our businesses, as well as our ability to improve productivity and maintain acceptable operating margins.

The European Union, the United States and other countries may implement actions, including trade actions, tariffs, export controls, and sanctions, against other countries or localities, including potentially against certain Russian government, government-related, or other entities or individuals in Russia (for example, by virtue of being on a known sanctions list) or any such entities or individuals related to or suspected of being related to actions in Ukraine, which along with any retaliatory measures could increase costs, adversely affect our operations, or adversely affect our ability to meet contractual and financial obligations. In addition, in connection with the current status of international relations with Russia, particularly in light of continued escalations in conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the European Union has stated it is considering imposing enhanced export controls on certain products and sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. The governments of other jurisdictions in which we plan to operate in the future, such as the United States and Canada, may also implement additional sanctions or other restrictive measures. These potential sanctions and export controls, as well as any responses from Russia, could adversely affect us and/or our supply chain, business partners or customers.

While these factors and their impact are difficult to predict, any one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or prospects.

Reductions in discretionary consumer spending could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our business is particularly sensitive to reductions from time to time in discretionary consumer spending. Demand for entertainment and leisure activities, including gaming, has been and may continue to be affected by changes in the economy and consumer tastes, both of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. Unfavorable changes in general economic conditions, including recessions, economic slowdowns, sustained high levels of unemployment and rising prices, or the perception by consumers of weak or weakening economic conditions, may reduce our customers’ disposable income or result in fewer individuals engaging in entertainment and leisure activities, such as online gaming and sports betting. As a result, we cannot ensure that demand for our offerings will remain constant. Adverse developments affecting economies throughout the world, including a general tightening of availability of credit, decreased liquidity in certain financial markets, increased interest rates, foreign exchange fluctuations, increased energy costs, increased inflation, acts of war or terrorism, transportation disruptions, natural disasters, declining consumer confidence, sustained high levels of unemployment or significant declines in stock markets, as well as concerns regarding pandemics, epidemics and the spread of contagious diseases, could lead to a further reduction in discretionary spending on leisure activities, such as online gaming and sports betting.

COVID-19 has affected our business and operations in a variety of ways. The pandemic restrictions have affected our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including as a result of the reduction in the quantity of global sporting events, closures or restriction on business operations of various sports organizations, and a decrease in consumer spending generally, and they may continue to do so in the future. Additionally, consumers may decrease online gaming and sports betting activities as pandemic restrictions are loosened and other activities become available to them. The long-term impacts of the pandemic and related restrictions on our business and results of operations are impossible for us to predict.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 included restrictions on travel, cancellation or postponement of sporting events, quarantines in certain areas and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. In 2021, variants of COVID-19, including the Delta and Omicron, emerged, causing a surge in COVID-19 cases globally and resulting in a reinstitution of many of these mitigation efforts.

COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had and may to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including in Europe in which we operate and in the Americas in which we plan to expand our operations. COVID-19 and these actions have also had a significant impact on our business, our suppliers and our customers. The direct impact on our business, beyond disruptions in normal business operations, was driven by the suspension, postponement and cancellation of major sports seasons and events. While many sports have since restarted, some have been played on a reduced or uncertain schedule, and there can be no assurance that sports seasons and events will not be canceled or further impacted again due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of new variants, such as the BA.2 subvariant of Omicron. These measures may adversely impact our relationships with existing and potential new business partners globally, our employees and operations and the operations of our business partners, and may negatively impact our business. Our sports betting revenues are dependent on interest in sporting events, which sporting events have been, and may be in the future, substantially limited during COVID-19 related business shutdowns, including the cancellation or postponement of sporting events. In addition, any future travel restrictions could impact our relationships with existing or potential new partners in Europe and the Americas. Relatedly, if a large number of our employees and/or a subset of our key employees and executives are impacted by future COVID-19 variants which could result in their inability to work for our business for an extended period of time, Novibet’s ability to continue to operate effectively may be negatively impacted.

In recent periods coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen significant growth in online sports betting and casino gaming revenues from existing and new customers, as the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns and stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders for the general populace in many jurisdictions have accelerated the shift to online commerce and online entertainment. As government restrictions ease, this trend may not continue or could even be reversed as customers may seek to spend their entertainment dollars through physical participation and not online gaming activities, potentially resulting in a decrease in our share of the entertainment wallet. These effects make the comparison of our current and historical performance very difficult. In particular, the

growth or otherwise in our active wagering customer numbers and our revenues may be skewed higher and hence our historic growth may not be a useful or accurate guide to our expected future performance.

There is no certainty that any actions taken by us will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic (including potential subsequent waves or new variants or strains of the virus such as the BA.2 subvariant of Omicron) or that any of the governmental and societal factors arising therefrom (such as the provision of governmental economic stimulus checks to consumers and the general trend towards online commerce that has benefited all-digital businesses) will continue to be of benefit to us. These factors related to COVID-19 are beyond our control and, as a result, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact, both in terms of severity and duration, that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the ultimate extent of the impact on our business, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition will be primarily driven by the severity and duration of the pandemic, the pandemic’s impact on global economies and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic in the European Union, in markets we plan to expand our operations such as in the Americas, and national, provincial/state/regional and local responses elsewhere around the world that may negatively impact markets we operate in.

Our business depends on a strong brand, and if we are not able to develop, maintain and enhance our brand and reputation, including as a result of negative publicity, our business and operating results may be harmed.

We believe that developing, maintaining and enhancing our brands, notably our Novibet and NoviLadies brands, is critical to achieving and maintaining widespread acceptance of our products and services, attracting new customers, retaining existing customers, persuading existing customers to adopt additional products and services and hiring and retaining our employees. We believe that the importance of our brand will increase as competition in our markets further intensifies. Successful promotion of our brand will depend on a number of factors, including the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, our ability to provide high-quality, reliable and cost-effective products and services, the perceived value of our products and services and our ability to provide quality customer support. Brand promotion activities require us to make substantial expenditures. To date, we have made significant investments in the promotion of our brands, including more than 100 Novibet brand partnerships with casinos worldwide, as well as an exclusive partnership for the territories of Greece and Cyprus with a professional basketball player who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association. The promotion of our brand, however, may not generate customer awareness or increase revenue to the extent we anticipate, or at all, and any increase in revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building and maintaining our brand.

We operate in a public-facing industry where negative publicity, including from our customers, whether or not justified, can spread rapidly through, among other things, social media. To the extent that we are unable to respond timely and appropriately to negative publicity or to the extent our responses to negative publicity are not fairly published or not positively received, our reputation and brands could be harmed. Moreover, even if we are able to respond in a timely and appropriate manner, we cannot predict how negative publicity may affect our reputation and business.

We, our employees and our partners, such as casino and sports book providers and marketing affiliates, also use social media to communicate externally. There is risk that the use of social media by us, our employees or our partners to communicate about our business or for any other purpose even in a personal capacity may give rise to negative publicity or to liability or result in public exposure of personal data of our employees, partners or customers, each of which could affect our reputation, revenue, business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience fluctuations in our operating results, which makes our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations.

Novibet’s semi-annual financial results have fluctuated in the past and we expect PubCo’s financial results to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations may be due to a variety of factors, such as the impacts of the COVID-19, regulatory changes, and short term micro and macro-economic factors impacting consumer discretionary income some of which are outside of our control and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

PubCo’s financial results in any given reporting period may be influenced by numerous factors, many of which we are unable to predict or are outside of our control, including the impact of seasonality and our betting results, the impact of COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate the spread and the other risks and uncertainties set forth herein. In particular, our sports-betting operations will have

52

Table of Contents

significant exposure to, and may be materially impacted by, the cancellation or postponement of sporting events and sporting seasons and the level of performance of popular players and teams, which can result in short-term volatility in betting win margins and customer engagement, thus impacting revenues. Furthermore, we believe that significant sporting events, such as playoffs and championship games, tend to impact, among other things, revenues from operations, customer activity and other key metrics, and as such, Novibet’s historical revenues generally have been highest in the fourth quarter of each year. A majority of Novibet’s current sports betting revenue is and will continue to be generated from bets placed on, or contests relating to, the worldwide sports events of soccer, basketball and tennis. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, revenue decreases during the off-season periods for these sports. Our revenues may also be affected by the scheduling of major sporting events that do not occur annually, such as the World Cup, or the cancellation of sporting events and races. In addition, certain individuals or teams advancing or failing to advance, and their scores and other results within specific tournaments, games or events, may impact our financial performance.

As part of our online casino product offering, we offer progressive jackpot games. Each time a progressive jackpot game is played, a portion of the amount wagered by the customer is contributed to the jackpot for that specific game or group of games. Once a jackpot is won, the progressive jackpot is reset with a predetermined base amount. While we maintain a provision for these progressive jackpots, the cost of the progressive jackpot payout would be a cash outflow for the business in the period in which it is won with a potentially significant adverse effect on our financial condition and cash flows. Because winning is underpinned by a random mechanism, we cannot predict with absolute certainty when a jackpot will be won. In addition, Novibet currently does not insure against random outcomes or jackpot wins.

Consumer engagement with our online sports betting and casino products therefore may decline or fluctuate as a result of the factors discussed above and general risks of staying competitive in a highly competitive and crowded industry, including, our customer’s level of satisfaction with our various betting platforms, our ability to continually adapt, improve and innovate, outages and disruptions of online services, our marketing and advertising efforts to capture customer wallet share, among others. Any decline or fluctuation in the recurring portion of our business may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Historical financial data for our business presented in this proxy statement/prospectus is not necessarily indicative of results our business would have achieved as a stand-alone entity for the periods presented herein.

The historical financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared on a carve-out basis, to represent the financial position and performance of Novibet as if Novibet had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the combined carve-out statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows, and reflect assumptions and allocations made by us. Prior to February 12, 2021, our business was owned and controlled by Sendross Ltd, before Komisium became the parent company of Novibet as part of a reorganization process that began in December 2020. The financial information of Novibet, as presented, does not necessarily reflect the financial condition and results of operations the business would have achieved as a stand-alone entity during the periods presented, or those that it will achieve in the future. See Notes 1 and 2 to the Combined Carve-Out Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 on pages F-25 and F-28 for a further discussion on the reorganization and accounting treatment.

Our projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, including assumptions regarding future legislation and changes in regulations in multiple jurisdictions. As a result, our projected revenues, market share, expenses and profitability may differ materially from our expectations.

PubCo will operate in rapidly changing and competitive industries and our projections will be subject to the risks of, and assumptions made by management with respect to, our industries. Operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on our assessment of the timing of adoption of future legislation and regulations by different members of the European Union, the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, which are uncertain and are to a certain extent subject to fluctuating political opinion and the shifting or increasing expectations of various regulators in certain jurisdictions. Furthermore, if we invest in the development of new products or distribution channels that do not achieve significant commercial success or decide to exit other markets like our discontinuance of operations in the United Kingdom, whether because of competition, regulatory changes or otherwise, we may not recover the often substantial “up front” costs of developing and marketing those products and distribution channels or entering those markets, or recover the opportunity cost of diverting management and financial resources away from other products or distribution channels or markets.

Additionally, as described above under “— Reductions in discretionary consumer spending could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects,” our business may be affected by reductions in consumer spending from time to time as a result of a number of factors which may be difficult to predict. This may result in decreased revenue levels, and we may be unable to adopt measures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in income. This inability could cause our operating results in a given quarter to be higher or lower than expected. If actual results differ from our estimates, analysts may negatively react and our stock price could be materially impacted.

Our business depends on the success, including win or hold rates, of existing or future online gaming and sports betting products, which rely on a variety of factors and are not completely controlled by us.

The online gaming and sports betting industries are characterized by an element of chance. Accordingly, Novibet employs theoretical win rates to estimate what a certain type of casino game or sports bet, on average, will win or lose in the long run. Net win is impacted by variations in the hold percentage (the ratio of net win to total amount wagered), or actual outcome, on our casino games and sports betting we offer to our customers. Novibet uses the hold percentage as an indicator of an online game’s or sports bet’s performance against its expected outcome. Although each casino game or sports bet generally performs within a defined statistical range of outcomes, actual outcomes may vary for any given period. In addition to the element of chance, win rates (hold percentages) may also (depending on the game or sports bet involved) be affected by the spread of limits and factors that are beyond our control, such as a customer’s skill, experience and behavior, the mix of games played, the financial resources of customers, the volume of bets placed and the amount of time spent gambling. As a result of the variability in these factors, the actual win rates on our online games and sports bets may differ from the theoretical win rates we have estimated and could result in the winnings of our game’s or sports bet’s customers exceeding those anticipated. The variability of win rates (hold rates) also have the potential to negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our financial prospects may suffer if we are unable to develop successful offerings or if we fail to pursue additional offerings. In addition, if we fail to make the right investment decisions in our offerings and technology platform, we may not attract and retain key customers and our revenue and results of operations may decline.

Novibet commenced operations in 2011 with a singular focus on the consumer online gaming and wagering industry and has primarily focused its efforts in the last decade on growing and expanding on its product offerings.

In 2010, Novibet launched its sportsbook offering. In recent years, Novibet has rapidly expanded its geographical reach and we anticipate expanding further as we pursue our growth strategies.

The industry in which we operate is subject to rapid and frequent changes in standards, technologies, products and service offerings, as well as in customer demands and expectations and regulations. We must continuously make decisions regarding which offerings and technology to invest in to meet customer demand in compliance with evolving industry standards and regulatory requirements and must continually introduce and successfully market new and innovative technologies, offerings and enhancements to remain competitive and effectively stimulate customer demand, acceptance and engagement. Our ability to engage, retain, and increase our customer base and to increase our revenue will depend heavily on our ability to successfully create new offerings, both independently and together with third parties. We may introduce significant changes to our existing platforms and offerings or develop and introduce new and unproven products, with which we have little or no prior development or operating experience. The process of developing new offerings and systems is inherently complex and uncertain, and new offerings may not be well received by customers, even if well-reviewed and of high quality. If we are unable to develop technology and products that address customers’ needs or enhance and improve our existing platforms and offerings in a timely manner, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Although we intend to continue investing in our research and development efforts, if new or enhanced offerings fail to engage our customers or partners, we may fail to attract or retain customers or to generate sufficient revenue, operating margin, or other value to justify our investments, any of which may seriously harm our business. In addition, management may not properly ascertain or assess the risks of new initiatives, and subsequent events may alter the risks that were evaluated at the time we decided to execute any new initiative. Creating additional offerings can also divert our management’s attention from other business issues and opportunities. Even if our new offerings attain market acceptance, those new offerings could exploit the market share of our existing product offerings or share of our customers’ wallets in a manner that could negatively impact their ecosystem. Furthermore, such expansion of our business increases the complexity of our business and places a significant strain on our management, operations, technical systems and

54

Table of Contents

financial resources and we may not recover the often-substantial up-front costs of developing and marketing new offerings, or recover the opportunity cost of diverting management and financial resources away from other offerings. In the event of continued growth of our operations, products or in the number of third-party relationships, we may not have adequate resources, operationally, technologically or otherwise to support such growth and the quality of our platforms, offerings or our relationships with third parties could suffer. In addition, failure to effectively identify, pursue and execute new business initiatives, or to efficiently adapt our processes and infrastructure to meet the needs of our innovations, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Any new offerings may also require our customers to utilize new skills to use our platform. This could create a lag in adoption of new offerings and new customer additions related to any new offerings. To date, new offerings and enhancements on our existing platforms have not hindered our customer growth or engagement, but that may be the result of a large portion of our customer base being in a younger demographic and more willing to invest the time to learn to use our products effectively. To the extent that future customers, including those in older demographics, are less willing to invest the time to learn to use our products, and if we are unable to make our products easier to learn to use, our customer growth or engagement could be affected, and our business could be harmed. We may develop new products that increase customer engagement and costs without increasing revenue.

Additionally, we may make bad or unprofitable decisions regarding these investments. If new or existing competitors offer more attractive offerings, we may lose customers or customers may decrease their spending on our platforms. New customer demands, superior competitive offerings, new industry standards or changes in the regulatory environment could render our existing offerings unattractive, unmarketable or obsolete and require us to make substantial unanticipated changes to our platforms or business model. Our failure to adapt to a rapidly changing market or evolving customer demands could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our growth will depend on our ability to attract and retain customers, and the loss of our customers, failure to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner, or failure to effectively manage our growth could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our ability to achieve growth in revenue in the future will depend, in large part, upon our ability to attract new customers to our offerings, retain existing customers of our offerings and reactivate customers in a cost-effective manner. Achieving growth in our community of customers may require us to increasingly engage in sophisticated and costly sales and marketing efforts, which may not make sense in terms of return on investment. We expect to use a variety of free and paid marketing channels, in combination with compelling offers and exciting games to achieve our objectives. For paid marketing, we intend to leverage a broad array of advertising channels, including television, radio, social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, affiliates and paid and organic search, and other digital channels, such as mobile display and programmatic platforms. If the search engines on which we rely modify their algorithms, change their terms around gaming and sports betting, or if the prices at which we may purchase listings increase, then our costs could increase, and fewer customers may click through to our website. If links to our website are not displayed prominently in online search results, if fewer customers click through to our website, if our other digital marketing campaigns are not effective, or if the costs of attracting customers using any of our current methods significantly increase, then our ability to efficiently attract new customers could be reduced, our revenue could decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

In addition, our ability to increase the number of customers of our offerings will depend on continued customer adoption of online gaming and online sports betting generally. Growth in the online gaming and online sports betting industries and the level of demand for and market acceptance of our product offerings will be subject to a high degree of uncertainty. We cannot assure that consumer adoption of our product offerings will continue or exceed current growth rates, or that the industry will achieve more widespread acceptance.

Additionally, as technological or regulatory standards change and we modify our platform to comply with those standards, we may need customers to take certain actions to continue playing, such as performing age verification checks or accepting new terms and conditions. Customers may stop using our product offerings at any time, including if the quality of the customer experience on our platform, including our support capabilities in the event of a problem, does not meet their expectations or keep pace with the quality of the customer experience generally offered by competitive offerings.

Negative events or negative media coverage relating to, or a declining popularity of, online gaming, sports betting, the underlying sports or athletes, or online sports betting in particular, or other negative coverage, may adversely impact our ability to retain or attract customers, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

Public opinion can significantly influence our business. Unfavorable publicity regarding us, for example, our products, product quality, litigation, or regulatory activity, or regarding the actions of third parties with whom we have relationships (including brand partnerships) or the underlying sports (including declining popularity of the sports or athletes) could seriously harm our reputation. In addition, a negative shift in the perception of online gaming and sports betting by the public or by politicians, lobbyists or others could affect future legislation of online gaming and sports betting, which could cause jurisdictions to abandon proposals to legalize online gaming and sports betting, thereby limiting the number of jurisdictions in which we can operate. Furthermore, illegal betting activity by athletes could result in negative publicity for our industry and could harm our brand reputation. Negative public perception could also lead to new restrictions on or to the prohibition of online gaming or sports betting in jurisdictions in which we currently operate. Such negative publicity could also adversely affect the size, demographics, engagement and loyalty of our customer base and result in decreased revenue or slower customer growth rates, which could seriously harm our business.

Participation in the sports betting industry will expose us to trading, liability management and pricing risk. We may experience lower than expected profitability and potentially significant losses as a result of a failure to determine accurately the odds in relation to any particular event and/or any failure of our sports risk management processes.

Novibet’s fixed-odds betting products involve betting where winnings are paid on the basis of the stake placed and the odds quoted. Odds are determined with the objective of providing an average return to the bookmaker over a large number of events and therefore, over the long term, our gross win percentage has remained fairly constant. However, there can be significant variation in gross win percentage event-by-event and day-by-day. Novibet has systems and controls that seek to reduce the risk of daily losses occurring on a gross-win basis, but there can be no assurance that these will be effective in reducing our exposure, and consequently our exposure to this risk in the future. As a result, in the short term, there is less certainty of generating a positive gross win, and we may experience (and Novibet has from time to time experienced) significant losses with respect to individual events or betting outcomes, in particular if large individual bets are placed on an event or betting outcome or series of events or betting outcomes. Odds compilers and risk managers are capable of human error, thus even allowing for the fact that a number of betting products are subject to capped pay-outs, significant volatility can occur. In addition, it is possible that there may be such a high volume of trading during any particular period that even automated systems would be unable to address and eradicate all risks. Any significant losses on a gross-win basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if a jurisdiction where we hold or wish to apply for a license imposes a high turnover tax for betting (as opposed to a gross-win tax), this too would impact profitability, particularly with high value/low margin bets, and likewise have a material adverse effect on our business.

As our business includes significant international operations, we are likely to be exposed to foreign currency transaction and translation risks. As a result, changes in the valuation of the euro in relation to other currencies could have positive or negative effects on our profitability and financial position.

Novibet’s global operations are likely to expose PubCo to foreign currency transaction and translation risks. Currency transaction risk occurs in conjunction with purchases and sales of products and services that are made in currencies other than the local currency of the subsidiary involved (for example, if the parent company pays or transfers U.S. dollars to a subsidiary in order to fund its expenses in local currencies). Currency translation risks occurs when the income statement and balance sheet of a foreign subsidiary is converted into currencies other than the local currency of the company involved (for example when the results of these subsidiaries are consolidated in the results of a parent company with a different reporting currency). As a result, Novibet has historically been, and PubCo is expected to be, exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely impact PubCo’s financial position and results of operations.

As we continue to expand our global presence, a significant portion of our revenues, operating expenses and assets and liabilities may be denominated in currencies other than the euro, and therefore subject to foreign currency fluctuation once consolidated in PubCo, whose functional currency is expected to be the euro. PubCo will face exposure to currency exchange rates as a result of the growth in its non-euro denominated operating expense outside the European Union (the “EU”). For example, an increase in the value of non-euro currencies against the euro could increase costs for delivery of our offerings and also increase cost of local operating expenses and procurement of materials or services that Novibet must purchase in foreign currencies by increasing labor and other costs that are

56

Table of Contents

denominated in such local currencies. These risks related to exchange rate fluctuations may increase in future periods as PubCo’s operations outside of the euro expand.

PubCo’s foreign currency exposure will reflect Novibet’s historical operations, which have been primarily in euros. See “Novibet Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.” Novibet has not historically hedged its foreign currency transaction or translation exposure, though PubCo may consider doing so in the future. Foreign currency exchange rate volatility, as well as the cost of any hedging arrangements entered into in the future, may negatively affect PubCo’s financial position and results of operations, and may adversely impact the comparability of results between periods.

Risks Related to Novibet’s Growth and Expansion Strategy

We plan to continue expanding into new markets, with different regulatory regimes and a different customer base, which will make it difficult for us to forecast our financial results, create uncertainty as to how investors will evaluate our prospects, and increase the risk that we will not be successful.

Novibet’s business plan includes expansion into several new markets by December 31, 2027, including., but not limited to, a further expansion in Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, and Sweden) and into new regulated markets in the Americas, including Canada (Ontario), Mexico and the United States (Iowa, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania). Each of these countries, provinces and states has a different agency regulating online gaming and sports betting, and PubCo or one of its subsidiaries will need to become licensed in many of these new markets. Additionally, the cultural and other differences make the customer base vary from one country to another. Accordingly, it will be difficult for us to forecast our future financial results, and it will be uncertain how the impact of this expansion and the related fluctuation in our operating results will affect investors’ perceptions and expectations, which can be idiosyncratic and vary widely, with respect to our prospects. Furthermore, our strategy of continued expansion may not be successful. Consequently, our future operating performance in new markets may not be as profitable as in the countries we currently operate, which could have a negative impact on our overall future financial performance and stock price.

Execution of new market access and other similar agreements, and expansion to new territories, if pursued, will require the Company to incur significant increased costs. Further, if the Company is unable to launch it business as contemplated, or in an otherwise successful manner, its financial condition and results of operations would be adversely impacted.

We plan to continue the growth and expansion of our business, including in new markets. Operating in these new markets may require us to incur significantly greater costs than our costs of operating in existing markets, thereby affecting our overall profitability. New markets may have competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns that are more difficult to predict or satisfy than our existing markets. We may need to make greater investments than we originally planned in advertising and promotional activity in new markets to build brand awareness. As a result, our operations in new jurisdictions may be less successful than our operations in existing jurisdictions, impacting our overall profitability. We may not be able to successfully develop critical market presence for our brand in new geographical markets, as we may be unable to build name recognition or attract new customers. Inability to fully implement or failure to successfully execute our plans to expand our operations into new jurisdictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we complete our expected expansions into new jurisdictions, we may be unable to manage expected spikes in customer demand for our online gaming and sports betting products. If we are unable to manage such increased demand in a timely and satisfactory way, or at all, our business, reputation and results of operations could be harmed.

Our planned continued growth and expansion into new jurisdictions is expected to require the full utilization of our management, financial and other resources. Our ability to manage growth effectively will depend on our ability to improve and expand operations, including our financial and management information systems, and to recruit, train and manage specialized personnel. We cannot assure you that our management will be able to manage this continued growth into new jurisdictions effectively.

If we do not properly manage the growth of our business, we may experience significant strains on our management and operations and disruptions in our business and our product offerings. Various risks arise when companies and industries grow quickly. If our business grows too quickly, our ability to meet such increased customer demand in a timely and efficient manner could be challenged.

57

Table of Contents

We may also experience development delays as we seek to meet increased demand for our products and offerings. Our failure to properly manage the growth that we or our industry might experience could negatively impact our ability to execute on our operating plan and, accordingly, could have an adverse impact on our business and reputation with our customers, and our cash flow and results of operations.

In certain jurisdictions into which we are currently contemplating expanding, we will rely on strategic relationships with land-based casinos, sports teams, horse tracks, event planners, and local licensing partners in order to be able to offer and market our products in certain jurisdictions. If we cannot establish and maintain these relationships, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Under some countries’ online gaming and sports betting laws, online gaming and sports betting is limited to a finite number of retail operators, such as casinos, tracks or other licensed entities who own a “skin” or “skins” under that state’s law. A “skin” is a legally-authorized license from a state to offer online gaming or online sports betting services provided by a casino. The “skin” provides a market access opportunity for mobile operators to operate in the jurisdiction pending licensure and other required approvals by the jurisdiction’s regulator. The entities that control those “skins”, and the numbers of  “skins” available, are typically determined by a country or state’s online gaming or sports betting law. In certain jurisdictions into which we are currently contemplating expanding to offer sports betting and online gaming, we will rely on a casino, track or local licensed partner in order to get a “skin.” These “skins” are what will allow us to gain access to jurisdictions where online operators are required to have a retail relationship. If we cannot establish or maintain our relationships with these local licensed entities, our relationships could terminate and we would not be allowed to operate in those jurisdictions until we enter into new ones. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Certain of our online casino game license agreements contain territorial restrictions that prohibit use in the United States, related to a previously existing federal ban on online gambling and sports betting. In light of the elimination of that federal ban we are working with our content providers to amend our contracts to permit use of their products in specific states in which we anticipate becoming licensed in the future, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to amend any or all of these contracts on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to remove these restrictions from our agreements with our material game content licensors, our ability to successfully expand our operations into U.S. markets, and therefore our prospects for growth, would be materially adversely affected.

Pursuant to various casino software licensing agreements entered into by subsidiaries of Novibet, Novibet has been granted non-exclusive software licenses for use of a suite of gaming software in different territories in which Novibet operates. Several of the agreements restrict or prohibit the use of the licensed software in specified jurisdictions where online gambling is prohibited. Many of these agreements list the U.S. as a prohibited jurisdiction due to a previously existing federal ban on online gambling and sports betting. This means that even if we are able to obtain a license to operate in one or more U.S. jurisdictions and commence operations there, we will not be permitted to offer such products to customers located in those U.S. jurisdictions unless and until we amend those agreements or enter into new ones. In May 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (“PASPA”) as unconstitutional. This decision has the effect of lifting federal restrictions on sports betting and thus allows U.S. states to determine by themselves the legality of sports betting. Since the repeal of PASPA, several states have legalized online sports betting. In preparation for its proposed expansion into one or more U.S. states, Novibet has contacted several of its content providers to begin the process of amending its contracts to permit the use of such providers’ contracts in specific states in which Novibet anticipates becoming licensed in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to amend those contracts on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are unable to amend our existing contracts with our material game content licensors to permit us to include their content in our product offerings, or to enter into new contracts with those content providers, our ability to successfully expand our operations in to U.S. markets, and therefore our prospects for growth, would be materially adversely affected.

We may require additional capital to support our growth plans, and such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.

We intend to make significant investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new offerings and features or enhance our existing platform, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses, personnel and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Our ability to obtain additional capital, if and when required, will depend on our business plans, investor demand, our operating performance, capital markets conditions and other factors. If we raise additional funds by

issuing equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, and our existing shareholders may experience dilution. If PubCo is unable to obtain additional capital when required, or on satisfactory terms, our ability to continue to support our business growth or to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be adversely affected, and our business may be harmed.

We may invest in or acquire other businesses in the future, and our business may suffer if we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our company or otherwise manage the growth associated with multiple acquisitions. Investing in or acquiring, and then integrating, other businesses will require the devotion of a significant amount of our time and resources, and could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

As part of its business strategy, Novibet may make acquisitions as opportunities arise to add new or complementary businesses, products, brands or technologies. In some cases, the costs of such acquisitions may be substantial, including as a result of professional fees and due diligence efforts. There is no assurance that the time and resources expended on pursuing a particular acquisition will result in a completed transaction, or that any completed transaction will ultimately be successful. In addition, we may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or strategic investment opportunities, or may be unable to obtain any required financing or regulatory approvals, and therefore may be unable to complete such acquisitions or strategic investments on favorable terms, if at all. We may decide to pursue acquisitions with which our investors may not agree and we cannot assure investors that any acquisition or investment will be successful or otherwise provide a favorable return on investment. In addition, acquisitions and the integration thereof require significant time and resources and place significant demands on our management, as well as on our operational and financial infrastructure. If we fail to successfully close transactions or integrate new teams, or integrate the products and technologies associated with these acquisitions into our company, our business could be seriously harmed. In addition, acquisitions may expose us to operational challenges and risks, including:

the ability to profitably manage acquired businesses or successfully integrate the acquired businesses’ operations, personnel, financial reporting, accounting and internal controls, technologies and products into the PubCo’s business;
increased indebtedness and the expense of integrating acquired businesses, including significant administrative, operational, economic, geographic or cultural challenges in managing and integrating the expanded or combined operations;
entry into jurisdictions or acquisition of products or technologies with which we have limited or no prior experience, and the potential of increased competition with new or existing competitors as a result of such acquisitions;
diversion of management’s attention and the over-extension of our operating infrastructure and our management systems, information technology systems, and internal controls and procedures, which may be inadequate to support growth;
the ability to fund our capital needs and any cash flow shortages that may occur if anticipated revenue is not realized or is delayed, whether by general economic or market conditions, or unforeseen internal difficulties; and
the ability to retain or hire qualified personnel required for expanded operations.

Our acquisition strategy may not succeed if we are unable to remain attractive to target companies or expeditiously close transactions. Issuing PubCo Ordinary Shares to fund an acquisition would cause economic dilution to existing PubCo Ordinary Shareholders. If we develop a reputation for being a difficult acquirer or having an unfavorable work environment, or target companies view our PubCo Ordinary Shares unfavorably, we may be unable to consummate key acquisition transactions essential to our corporate strategy and our business may be seriously harmed.

We may invest or spend PubCo’s cash on hand following the consummation of the Business Combination in ways with which the PubCo Ordinary Shareholders may not agree or in ways which may not yield a return.

PubCo management will have considerable discretion in the application of its cash on hand following the consummation of the Business Combination, and PubCo’s shareholders will not have the opportunity to approve how such cash is being used. If such cash is used for corporate purposes that do not result in an increase to the value of our business, our stock price could decline.

Our growth prospects depend on the legal status of real-money gaming and sports betting in various jurisdictions. Real-money gaming and sports betting is an area of regulatory focus in several jurisdictions, and legalization in some jurisdictions may not occur as we expect, or may occur at a slower pace than we anticipate. Additionally, even if regulated jurisdictions legalize real money gaming or sports betting, this may be accompanied by legislative or regulatory restrictions and/or taxes that make it impracticable or less attractive to operate in those jurisdictions, or the process of implementing regulations or securing the necessary licenses to operate in a particular jurisdiction may take longer than we anticipate, which could adversely affect our future results of operations and make it more difficult to meet our expectations for financial performance.

Our business plan is partially based upon the expanded legalization of real money gaming and sports betting in jurisdictions beyond those in which we currently operate, and such legalization may not occur as we have anticipated. Additionally, if a large number of additional jurisdictions enact real money gaming or sports betting legislation and we are unable to obtain, or are otherwise delayed in obtaining, the necessary licenses to operate online gaming and sports betting websites in those jurisdictions, our future growth in online gaming and sports betting could be materially impaired.

As we enter into new jurisdictions, the governments in those jurisdictions may legalize real money gaming and sports betting in a manner that is unfavorable to us. As a result, we may encounter legal, regulatory and political challenges that are difficult or impossible to foresee and which could result in an unforeseen adverse impact on planned revenues or costs associated with the new opportunity. For example, certain jurisdictions require us to have a relationship with a land-based, licensed casino for online gaming sports betting access, which tends to increase our costs of revenue. Jurisdictions that have established state-run monopolies may limit opportunities for private sector participants like us. In addition, some jurisdictions also impose substantial tax rates on online gaming and sports betting revenue, in addition to sales taxes in certain jurisdictions. Tax rates that are higher than we expect will make it more costly and less desirable for us to launch in a given jurisdiction, while tax increases in any of our existing jurisdictions may adversely impact our profitability.

Therefore, even in cases in which a jurisdiction purports to license and regulate online gaming or sports betting, the licensing and regulatory regimes can vary considerably in terms of their business-friendliness and at times may be intended to provide incumbent operators with advantages over new licensees.

Risks Related to Novibet’s Technology Platforms and Reliance on Third Party Providers

We rely on information technology and other systems and platforms, and any failures, errors, defects or disruptions in our systems or platforms could diminish our brand and reputation, subject us to liability, disrupt our business, affect our ability to scale our technical infrastructure and adversely affect our operating results and growth prospects. Our games and other software applications and systems, and our proprietary platform, could contain undetected errors.

Our technology infrastructure is critical to the performance of our platform and offerings and to customer satisfaction. We devote significant resources to network and data security to protect our systems and data. However, our systems may not be adequately designed with the necessary reliability and redundancy to avoid performance delays or outages that could be harmful to our business. We cannot assure you that the measures we take to prevent or hinder cyber-attacks and protect our systems, data and customer information and to prevent outages, data or information loss, fraud and to prevent or detect security breaches, including a disaster recovery strategy for server and equipment failure and back-office systems and the use of third parties for certain cybersecurity services, will provide absolute security. Novibet has experienced, and may in the future experience, website disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors and capacity constraints. Such disruptions have not had a material impact on Novibet, individually or in the aggregate; however, future disruptions from unauthorized access to, fraudulent manipulation of, or tampering with our computer systems and technological infrastructure, or those of third parties, could result in a wide range of negative outcomes, each of which individually or all of which taken together could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Additionally, our products may contain errors, bugs, flaws or corrupted data, and these defects may only become apparent after their launch. If a particular product offering is unavailable when customers attempt to access it or navigation through our platforms is slower than they expect, customers may be unable to place their bets or set their line-ups in time and may be less likely to return to our platforms as often, if at all. Furthermore, programming errors, defects and data corruption could disrupt our operations, adversely affect the experience of our customers, harm our reputation, cause our customers to stop utilizing our platforms, divert our resources

and delay market acceptance of our offerings, any of which could result in legal liability to us or harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If our customer base and engagement continue to grow, and the amount and types of offerings continue to grow and evolve, we will need an increasing amount of technical infrastructure, including network capacity and computing power, to continue to satisfy our customers’ needs. Such infrastructure expansion may be complex, and unanticipated delays in completing these projects or availability of components may lead to increased project costs, operational inefficiencies, or interruptions in the delivery or degradation of the quality of our offerings. In addition, there may be issues related to this infrastructure that are not identified during the testing phases of design and implementation, which may only become evident after we have started to fully use the underlying equipment or software, that could further degrade the customer experience or increase our costs. As such, we could fail to continue to effectively scale and grow our technical infrastructure to accommodate increased demands. In addition, our business may be subject to interruptions, delays or failures resulting from adverse weather conditions, other natural disasters, power loss, terrorism, cyber-attacks, public health emergencies (such as the coronavirus) or other catastrophic events.

We believe that if our customers have a negative experience with our offerings, or if our brand or reputation is negatively affected, customers may be less inclined to continue or resume utilizing our products or recommend our platform to other potential customers. As such, a failure or significant interruption in our service would harm our reputation, business and operating results.

Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by unauthorized third parties or hackers, or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost, deleted, encrypted or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings (including class actions), liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal data, and regulatory penalties, disruption of our operations and the services we provide to customers, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in our products and offerings, which could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations.

The secure maintenance and transmission of customer information is a critical element of our operations. Our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit customer information, or those of service providers, business partners or employee information may be compromised by a malicious third-party penetration of our network security, or that of a third-party service provider or business partner, or impacted by intentional or unintentional actions or inactions by our employees, or those of a third-party service provider or business partner. As a result, our customers’ information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without our customers’ consent. We have experienced cyber-attacks, attempts to breach our systems and other similar incidents in the past. For example, we have been and expect that we will continue to be subject to attempts to gain unauthorized access to or through our information systems or those we develop for our customers, whether by our employees or third parties, including cyber-attacks by computer programmers and hackers who may develop and deploy viruses, worms or other malicious software programs. To date these attacks have not had a material impact on our operations or financial results, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not have a material impact in the future.

We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties in an effort to securely transmit confidential and sensitive information, including credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new technological discoveries or other developments may result in the whole or partial failure of this technology to protect transaction data or other confidential and sensitive information from being breached or compromised. In addition, websites are often attacked through compromised credentials, including those obtained through phishing and credential stuffing. Our security measures, and those of our third-party service providers, may not detect or prevent all attempts to breach our systems, denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering, security breaches or other attacks and similar disruptions that may jeopardize the security of information stored in or transmitted by our websites, networks and systems or that we or such third parties otherwise maintain, including payment card systems, which may subject us to fines or higher transaction fees or limit or terminate our access to certain payment methods. We and such third parties may not anticipate or prevent all types of attacks until after they have already been launched. Further, techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us or our third-party service providers.

In addition, security breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent breaches by our employees or by third parties. These risks may increase over time as the complexity and number of technical systems and applications we use also increases. Breaches of our security measures or those of our third-party service providers or cybersecurity incidents could

61

result in unauthorized access to our sites, networks and systems; unauthorized access to and misappropriation of customer information, including customers’ personally identifiable information, or other confidential or proprietary information of ourselves or third parties; viruses, worms, spyware or other malware being served from our sites, networks or systems; deletion or modification of content or the display of unauthorized content on our sites; interruption, disruption or malfunction of operations; costs relating to breach remediation, deployment of additional personnel and protection technologies, response to governmental investigations and media inquiries and coverage; engagement of third-party experts and consultants; litigation, regulatory action and other potential liabilities. In the past, we have experienced social engineering, phishing, malware and similar attacks and threats of denial-of-service attacks, none of which to date has been material to our business; however, such attacks could in the future have a material adverse effect on our operations. If any of these breaches of security should occur and be material, our reputation and brand could be damaged, our business may suffer, we could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such breaches, and we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation or regulatory action and possible liability. We cannot guarantee that recovery protocols and backup systems will be sufficient to prevent data loss. Actual or anticipated attacks may cause us to incur increasing costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees and engage third-party experts and consultants.

In addition, any party who is able to illicitly obtain a customer’s password could access the customer’s transaction data or personal data, resulting in the perception that our systems are insecure. Any compromise or breach of our security measures, or those of our third-party service providers, could violate applicable privacy, data protection, data security, network and information systems security and other laws and cause significant legal and financial exposure, adverse publicity and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We continue to devote significant resources to protect against security breaches or we may need to in the future to address problems caused by breaches, including notifying affected persons and responding to any resulting litigation, which in turn, diverts resources from the growth and expansion of our business.

We primarily rely, and we will continue to rely, on Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, Azure, to deliver our offerings to customers on our platform, and any disruption of or interference with our use of Microsoft Azure could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Novibet currently hosts its online gaming and sports betting platforms, and supports its operations, using Microsoft Azure, a third-party provider of cloud infrastructure services. PubCo will continue to rely on Microsoft Azure in its operation of Novibet’s business after the closing of the Business Combination. We do not, and will not, have control over the operations of the facilities or infrastructure of the third-party service providers that we use. Such third parties’ facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, terrorist attacks, power outages and similar events or acts of misconduct. Our platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance will be critical to our success. Novibet has experienced, and we expect that in the future we will experience, interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from these third-party service providers from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions and capacity constraints. In addition, any changes in these third parties’ service levels may adversely affect our ability to meet the requirements of our customers. Since our platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to our success, sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our offerings. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times, as we expand and the usage of our offerings increases. Any negative publicity arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand and may adversely affect the usage of our offerings.

Our commercial agreement with BMIT Limited regarding Microsoft Azure will remain in effect until terminated by BMIT Limited or us. BMIT Limited may terminate the agreement due to breach upon no less than 10 business days prior notice, subject to a 10 business days remedy period in case of a breach that is capable of remedy. In the event that our agreement with ΒΜΙΤ is terminated or we add additional cloud infrastructure service providers, we may experience significant costs or downtime in connection with the transfer to, or the addition of, new cloud infrastructure service providers. Although alternative providers could host our platform on a substantially similar basis to Microsoft, transitioning the cloud infrastructure currently hosted by Microsoft to alternative providers could potentially be disruptive and we could incur significant one-time costs.

Any of the above circumstances or events may harm our reputation and brand, reduce the availability or usage of our platform, lead to a significant loss of revenue, increase our costs and impair our ability to attract new customers, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on third parties to provide products and services such as (i) validating the age and identity, and identifying the location, of our customers, (ii) processing deposits and withdrawals made by our customers into our platforms, (iii) verifying adherence to responsible gaming standards, (iv) providing us with gaming content to provide to our online gaming customers, (v) providing customer support and fraud prevention tools, (vi) in certain jurisdictions, such as Italy, providing a platform for our product offerings, (vii) providing hosting services, and (viii)  providing real-time and accurate data for sporting events, among others. If our third-party providers do not perform adequately or terminate their relationship with us, we could face fines and possible suspension or revocation of our license in one or more jurisdictions, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We rely on third party service providers to perform various services essential to the operation of our business. There is no guarantee that these third-party service providers will perform adequately, or be effective. We rely on our geolocation and age and identity verification systems to ensure we are in compliance with certain laws and regulations, and any service disruption to those systems would prohibit us from operating our platform, and would adversely affect our business. Additionally, incorrect or misleading geolocation and age and identity verification data with respect to current or potential customers received from third-party service providers may result in us inadvertently allowing access to our offerings to individuals who should not be permitted to access them, or otherwise inadvertently denying access to individuals who should be able to access our offerings, in each case based on inaccurate determination of age, identity or geographic location. Our third-party geolocation services provider relies on its ability to obtain information necessary to determine geolocation from mobile devices, operating systems, and other sources. Changes, disruptions or temporary or permanent failure to access such sources by our third-party services providers may result in their inability to accurately determine the location of our customers. Moreover, our inability to maintain our existing contracts with third-party services providers, or to replace them with equivalent third parties, may result in our inability to access geolocation and identity verification data necessary for our day-to-day operations. If any of these risks materializes, we may be subject to disciplinary action, fines, lawsuits, license suspension, loss of license or other censure, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our platform contains third-party open source software components, and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open source software licenses could restrict our ability to provide our offerings.

Our platform contains software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under “open source” licenses. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise our platform.

Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open source software we use, or grant other licenses to our  intellectual property. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. This would allow our competitors to create similar offerings with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of our competitive advantages. Alternatively, to avoid the public release of the affected portions of our source code, we could be required to expend substantial time and resources to re-engineer some or all of our software.

Although we monitor our use of open source software and have not subjected our platform to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide or distribute our platform. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their solutions. As a result, we could be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our processes for controlling our use of open source software in our platform will be effective. If we are held to have breached or failed to fully comply with all the terms and conditions of an open source software license, we could face infringement or other liability, or be required to seek costly licenses from third parties to continue providing our offerings on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer our platform, to discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or to make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our growth prospects in certain jurisdictions depend upon the ability of customers to deposit funds in order to participate in our gaming and sports betting products. Payment providers in those jurisdictions may exercise independent judgment over whether our online gaming and sports betting operations comply with the requirements of local laws and regulations, and may also place independent limitations on businesses involved in the gaming industry as a whole based upon their own interpretations of regulatory or reputational risks. The inability to access sufficient payment processing resources has in the past and could in the future limit the growth of the business in those jurisdictions.

Our business depends in part on the ability of customers to deposit funds in order to utilize our online casino gaming and sports betting products. Payment providers in local jurisdictions provide this ability to our customers. These payment providers require us to comply with their operating rules as well as local laws and regulations. The payment providers set their operating rules and have discretion to interpret the rules and change them at any time. Changes to these rules, laws or regulations or how they are interpreted could have a significant impact on our business and financial results. These operating rules, laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may have a material impact on our operations and financial results. Future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may have a material impact on our planned sports betting and/or online casino gaming operations. Payment providers could view us, or the sports betting and/or online casino gaming industry in general, as high risk, despite our efforts to obtain all applicable licenses or approvals. The inability to access sufficient payment processing resources has in the past, and could in the future, delay or limit the growth of our business which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as impact our reputation.

We rely on third-party payment processors to process deposits and withdrawals made by our customers into the platform, and if those payment processors cease to do business with us or we cannot manage those relationships or other payment-related risks, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We rely on a limited number of third-party payment processors to process deposits and withdrawals made by our customers into our platform. If any of our third-party payment processors determines or is required to cease doing business with online gaming and sports betting companies, or otherwise terminates its relationship with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to find an alternate payment processor, and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such payment processor in an acceptable timeframe. Any suspension or termination of our arrangements with third-party payment processors would impair our customers’ ability to place wagers on our websites and through our applications, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Further, the software and services provided by our third-party payment processors may not meet our expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, be compromised or experience outages. Any of these risks could cause us to lose our ability to accept online payments or other payment transactions or make timely payments to customers on our platform, any of which could make our platform less trustworthy and convenient and adversely affect our ability to attract and retain our customers.

Nearly all of our payments are made by credit card, debit card or through other third-party payment services, which subjects us to certain regulations and to the risk of fraud. We may in the future offer new payment options to customers that may be subject to additional regulations and risks. We are also subject to a number of other laws and regulations relating to the payments we accept from our customers, including with respect to money laundering, money transfers, privacy and information security. If we fail to comply with applicable rules and regulations, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, fines and/or higher transaction fees and may lose our ability to accept online payments or other payment card transactions, which could make our offerings less convenient and attractive to our customers. If any of these events were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

For example, if we are deemed to be a money transmitter as defined by applicable regulation, we could be subject to certain laws, rules and regulations enforced by multiple authorities and governing bodies in numerous countries and territories each of whom may define money transmitter differently. For example, certain countries may have a more expansive view of who qualifies as a money transmitter. Additionally, we could be subject to additional laws, rules and regulations related to the provision of payments and financial services, and as we expand into new jurisdictions, the foreign regulations and regulators governing our business that we are subject to will expand as well. If we are found to be a money transmitter under any applicable regulation and we are not in compliance with such regulations, we may be subject to fines or other penalties in one or more jurisdictions levied by regulators of the various

64

Table of Contents

countries in which we operate or will in the future operate. In addition to fines, penalties for failing to comply with applicable rules and regulations could include criminal and civil proceedings, forfeiture of significant assets or other enforcement actions. We could also be required to make changes to our business practices or compliance programs as a result of regulatory scrutiny.

Additionally, our payment processors require us to comply with payment card network operating rules, which are set and interpreted by the payment card networks. The payment card networks could adopt new operating rules or interpret or reinterpret existing rules in ways that might prohibit us from providing certain offerings to some customers, be costly to implement or difficult to follow. We have agreed to reimburse our payment processors for fines they are assessed by payment card networks if we or the customers on our platform violate these rules. Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on third-party sports data providers for real-time and accurate data for sporting events and match fixing alerts, and if such third parties do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Novibet relies on third-party sports data providers to obtain accurate information regarding schedules, results, performance and outcomes of sporting events. We rely on this data to determine when and how bets are settled and rewarding customers on their prediction challenges. Novibet has experienced, and may continue to experience, errors in this data feed which may result in us incorrectly settling bets or ranking customers in their contests. If we cannot adequately resolve the issue with our customers, our customers may have a negative experience with our offerings, our brand or reputation may be negatively affected and our customers may be less inclined to continue or resume utilizing our products or recommend our platform to other potential customers. As such, a failure or significant interruption in our service would harm our reputation, business and operating results.

Furthermore, if any of our sports data partners terminates its relationship with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to find an alternate provider, and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such providers in an acceptable time frame. Any of these risks could increase our costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any negative publicity related to any of our third-party partners, including any publicity related to regulatory concerns, could adversely affect our reputation and brand, and could potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.

We rely on other third-party service providers and if such third parties do not perform adequately for content delivery, load balancing, protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks, communication, internal software and other core functions, do not in fact own the intellectual property they license to us, or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success depends in part on our relationships with other third-party service providers. For example, we rely on third parties for content delivery, load balancing and protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks. If those providers do not perform adequately, our customers may experience issues or interruptions with their experiences. Furthermore, if any of our partners terminates its relationship with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to find an alternate provider, and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such providers in an acceptable time frame. We also rely on other software and services supplied by third parties, such as communications and internal software, and our business may be adversely affected to the extent such software and services do not meet our expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, are compromised or experience outages. Any of these risks could increase our costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any negative publicity related to any of our third-party partners, including any publicity related to regulatory concerns, could adversely affect our reputation and brand, and could potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.

We integrate certain technology from third parties into portions of our platform. We cannot be certain that our licensors are not infringing the intellectual property rights of others or that the suppliers and licensors have sufficient rights to the technology in all jurisdictions in which we may operate. Some of our license agreements may be terminated by our licensors for convenience. If we are unable to obtain or maintain rights to any of this technology because of intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties against our suppliers and licensors or against us, or if we are unable to continue to obtain the technology or enter into new agreements on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to develop our platform containing that technology could be severely limited and our business could be harmed.

65

Table of Contents

Additionally, if we are unable to obtain necessary technology from third parties, we may be forced to acquire or develop alternate technology, which may require significant time and effort and may be of lower quality or performance standards. This would limit and delay our ability to provide new or competitive offerings and increase our costs. If alternate technology cannot be obtained or developed, we may not be able to offer certain functionality as part of our offerings, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Novibet’s business model depends upon the continued compatibility between our app and the major mobile operating systems and upon third-party platforms for the distribution of Novibet’s product offerings. If Google Play or the Apple App Store prevent customers from downloading our apps or block advertising from being delivered to our customers, our ability to grow our revenue, profitability and prospects may be adversely affected.

The substantial majority of Novibet’s customers access its online gaming and sportsbook product offerings primarily on mobile devices, and we believe that this will continue to be increasingly important to PubCo’s long-term success. Novibet’s business model depends upon the continued compatibility between our app and the major mobile operating systems. Third parties with whom Novibet does not have any formal relationships control the design of mobile devices and operating systems. These parties frequently introduce new devices, and from time to time they may introduce new operating systems or modify existing ones. Network carriers may also impact the ability to download apps or access specified content on mobile devices.

In addition, Novibet relies upon third-party platforms for distribution of its product offerings. The Novibet product offerings are delivered as a free application through both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store and are also accessible via mobile and traditional websites. The Google Play store and Apple App Store are global application distribution platforms and the main distribution channels for the Novibet app. As such, the promotion, distribution and operation of the Novibet app are subject to the respective distribution platforms’ standard terms and policies for application developers, which are very broad and subject to frequent changes and interpretation. Furthermore, the distribution platforms may not enforce their standard terms and policies for application developers consistently and uniformly across all applications and with all publishers.

There is no guarantee that popular mobile devices will start or continue to support or feature our product offerings, or that mobile device customers will continue to use our product offerings rather than competing products. Novibet is, and will continue to be, dependent on the interoperability of our platforms with popular mobile operating systems, technologies, networks and standards that we do not control, such as the Android and iOS operating systems, and any changes, bugs, technical or regulatory issues in such systems, our relationships with mobile manufacturers and carriers, or in their terms of service or policies that degrade our offerings’ functionality, reduce or eliminate our ability to distribute our offerings, give preferential treatment to competitive products, limit our ability to deliver high quality offerings, or impose fees or other charges related to delivering our offerings, could adversely affect our product usage and monetization on mobile devices.

Moreover, Novibet’s products require high-bandwidth data capabilities in order to place time-sensitive bets. If the growth of high-bandwidth capabilities, particularly for mobile devices, is slower than we expect, our customer growth, retention, and engagement may be seriously harmed. Additionally, to deliver high-quality content over mobile cellular networks, Novibet’s product offerings must work well with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks, regulations, and standards that Novibet does not control. In particular, any future changes to the iOS or Android operating systems may impact the accessibility, speed, functionality, and other performance aspects of our platforms, which issues are likely to occur in the future from time to time. In addition, the adoption of any laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity, or use of the internet, including laws governing internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for our products and increase our cost of doing business. Specifically, any laws that would allow mobile providers in any material jurisdiction in where we offer our products to impede access to content, or otherwise discriminate against content providers like us, such as providing for faster or better access to our competitors, over their data networks, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Furthermore, we may not successfully cultivate relationships with key industry participants or develop product offerings that operate effectively with these technologies, systems, networks, regulations or standards. If it becomes more difficult for our customers to access and use our platform on their mobile devices, if our customers choose not to access or use our platform on their mobile devices, or if our customers choose to use mobile products that do not offer access to our platform, our customer growth, retention and engagement could be seriously harmed.

We rely on several different marketing channels and search engines to acquire and retain customers and to promote our brands and our products. If we are not able to effectively acquire and retain customers via such channels then our business and operating results may be harmed.

The Company undertakes a variety of marketing initiatives, including traditional marketing channels (such as television, print and radio), digital marketing (such as online display advertising, search engine marketing, social media and “affiliates” marketing) and retention marketing (including via email, text messages and social media). Traditional marketing channels are by their nature difficult to measure.

Digital marketing is typically more measurable but somewhat more complex to undertake. Retention marketing is subject to customer consent which is not always granted or may be revoked. Our ability to execute on our marketing plans is subject to regulatory constraints in each market and it is not unusual for marketing-related regulations to change from time to time. If our ability to monitor and measure performance of any of these channels is compromised or if our ability to execute our plans in any of these channels is in any way inhibited then our ability to acquire and retain customers may be hampered and our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects may suffer.

In some regions and for some brands or products, we may rely extensively on independent third-party marketers, known as “affiliates” marketers. “Affiliates” is an industry term that describes independent third-parties which assist the Company to acquire new customers and which are generally paid on a revenue-share or cost-per-acquisition basis. Despite the word “affiliate”, these are independent parties that are not otherwise affiliated with the Company in the ordinary sense of the word. Notwithstanding that in some jurisdictions for license purposes we are deemed to control or be responsible for the regulatory failings of these “affiliates” marketers, their actions in the marketing of our brands are not directly within our control and hence actions, errors, omissions or intentional malfeasance on their part may cause damage to our brands, our business, our prospects and our financial results before we are able to detect such actions, errors, omissions or intentional malfeasance and/or do anything to mitigate the effects thereof. In particular, we can be held accountable by regulatory authorities for actions by such third parties in contravention of our license in a given jurisdiction, which in turn may lead to fines, license suspension, loss of license or other censure, which may in turn harm our business, our prospects and/or our financial performance. Our agreements with such marketers are sometimes such that we are obliged to pay them an ongoing share of revenues derived from customers that they introduce to us, or sometimes such that we are required to pay them a “cost per acquisition” capitation fee for each customer introduced, or sometimes a combination of both. Such third-party “affiliates” are under no obligation to continue introducing customers to us, but we may be obliged to continue to pay them future revenue shares where applicable nonetheless.

In some regions and for some brands we may make use of search engine marketing (SEM, which is the purchase of advertising against keywords on search engines) and search engine optimization (SEO, which is the adaptation of our websites and employment of other techniques in order to achieve more favorable rankings when customers search for gambling-related keywords on search engines). Search engines such as Google regularly change their internal proprietary and confidential algorithms by which SEM and SEO operate and typically do so in ways that are not predictable as to timing or effect. If we fail to adapt our marketing methods to these changes or if our competitors do so better than we do, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects may suffer.

Several of our marketing channels rely on being able to successfully track customers across different websites and apps and/or to augment our own data with additional marketing data for purposes of measuring and monitoring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and/or effectively adapting or executing on our marketing campaigns. The ability to do this is under threat of restrictive legislation in some jurisdictions and technology platform providers such as Google and Apple have taken steps to restrict such tracking and augmentation and we expect that further restrictions may be added in future. Such restrictions may hamper our ability to acquire or retain customers and thereby cause our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects to suffer.

Risks Related to Legal Compliance, Regulatory Review and Licensing and Fraud for Novibet

If we fail to detect fraud or theft related to our offerings, including by our customers and employees, our reputation may suffer, which could harm our brand and reputation and negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, and can subject us to investigations and litigation.

We have in the past incurred and may incur losses from various types of financial fraud, including use of stolen or fraudulent credit card data or the use of stolen funds by customers with which to gamble on our sites, claims of unauthorized payments by a customer and attempted payments by customers with insufficient funds. Bad actors use increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities involving personal data, such as unauthorized use of another person’s identity, account information or payment information and unauthorized acquisition or use of credit or debit card details, bank account information and mobile phone numbers and accounts. Under current credit card practices, we may be liable for use of funds on our platform with fraudulent credit card data, even if the associated financial institution approved the credit card transaction.

Acts of fraud may involve various tactics, including collusion. Successful exploitation of our systems could have negative effects on our product offerings, services and customer experience and could harm our reputation. Failure to discover such acts or schemes in a timely manner could result in harm to our operations. In addition, negative publicity related to such schemes could have an adverse effect on our reputation, potentially causing a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In the event of the occurrence of any such issues with our existing platform or product offerings, substantial engineering and marketing resources and management attention, may be diverted from other projects to correct these issues, which may delay other projects and the achievement of our strategic objectives.

In addition, any misappropriation of, or access to, customers’ or other proprietary information or other breach of our information security could result in legal claims or legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and actions, or liability for failure to comply with privacy and information security laws, including for failure to protect personal data or for misusing personal data, which could disrupt our operations, force us to modify our business practices, damage our reputation and expose us to claims from our customers, regulators, employees and other persons, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Despite measures we have taken to detect and reduce the occurrence of fraudulent or other malicious activity on our platform, we cannot guarantee that any of our measures will be effective or will scale efficiently with our business. Our failure to adequately detect or prevent fraudulent or suspicious transactions could harm our reputation or brand, result in litigation or regulatory action and lead to expenses that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any failure by us to comply with the anti-corruption, anti-bribery, sanctions, anti-money laundering, privacy/personal data, gaming and marketing, responsible gambling, consumer protection and similar laws could result in legal penalties and fines, and/or negatively impact our reputation and results of operations.

Doing business on a worldwide basis requires us to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations, which may include the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 (“U.K. Bribery Act”), the EU Anti Money Laundering Directives (currently in force: 6th Directive on AML/CFT), Prevention of Money Laundering Act (Cap. 373 of the Laws of Malta), Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Regulations (Subsidiary Legislation 373.01), and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), as well as other laws of the countries where we do business. These laws and regulations may restrict our operations, trade practices, investment decisions and partnering activities. The U.K. Bribery Act, FCPA and other applicable laws prohibit us and our officers, directors, employees and business partners acting on our behalf, including agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing or providing anything of value to “foreign officials” for the purposes of influencing the foreign official or official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. The U.K. Bribery Act also prohibits those acting for or on behalf of us from bribing any persons (including non-foreign officials) for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or an advantage in the conduct of business. In terms of the risk posed by foreign officials in particular, we are subject to the jurisdiction of various governments and regulatory agencies around the world, which may bring our personnel and representatives into contact with “foreign officials” responsible for issuing or renewing permits, licenses or approvals or for enforcing other governmental regulations.

In addition, some of the international locations in which we operate lack a developed legal system and have elevated levels of corruption. Our international operations expose us to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, anti-corruption laws and regulations. Our failure to successfully comply with these laws and regulations may expose us to reputational harm, as well as significant sanctions, including criminal fines, imprisonment, civil penalties, disgorgement of profits, injunctions and debarment from government contracts, as well as other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive. We are continuously developing and maintaining policies and procedures designed to comply with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations. However, there can be no guarantee that our policies and procedures will effectively prevent violations by our employees or business partners acting on our behalf, and any such violation could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, we are required to comply with the various responsible gaming regulations of those jurisdictions where we are licensed and from which we offer gambling services. These regulations, which in some jurisdictions are constantly being scrutinized, altered and broadened by the various legislators and/or regulators, may restrict our operations and partnerships, lead to enforcement actions that may result in fines, penalties, prosecutions or other sanctions, and at times may heavily impact our operations in and revenue from a certain jurisdiction. Consumer protection legislation and regulations apply to us as well, both of those jurisdictions from which we offer our services and of those where our services are consumed by our customers. These laws and regulations may have an impact on the scope of our offering and limit it significantly.

The failure to comply with the regulatory requirements of a particular jurisdiction could impact our ability to obtain or retain licenses or permits in that jurisdiction and other jurisdictions and could cause financial institutions or other third parties to cease their relationship with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2021, Novigroup Ltd. received a notice from the UKGC of a compliance assessment. Compliance assessments are regularly conducted by the UKGC to determine whether license holders are carrying out their activities in accordance with the terms of their license and applicable laws and regulations. The compliance assessment was conducted in late January 2022 over five days. The UKGC issued a follow up letter on February 15, 2022 indicating that in the UKGC’s view, among other things, Novigroup Ltd.’s controls and procedures did not sufficiently mitigate the risk of potential money laundering or terrorist financing and that its customer identification and interaction processes and procedures failed to identify customers who may be at risk of harm associated with gambling.

Immediately following the compliance assessment (and prior to its receipt of the aforementioned UKGC letter), on January 31, 2022, Novigroup Ltd. submitted a detailed action plan which sought to address the concerns identified by the UKGC during the compliance assessment and at that time immediately began to implement the plan (including phased steps for short, medium and longer term actions) in order to provide assurance to the UKGC that those areas identified as risks were being addressed and mitigated. The plan proposed a number of measures formulated to address concerns raised including, among other things, engaging independent consultants, hiring additional personnel with relevant experience, improving anti-money laundering systems and controls and compliance functions, improving policies and systems relating to responsible gaming.

Despite Novigroup Ltd.’s submission and immediate implementation of parts of the plan in the phases identified, as referred to above, on February 15, 2022, the UKGC issued a letter advising that it was considering whether to open a regulatory investigation and setting out the list of its concerns following the compliance assessment. A regulatory investigation (also known as a license review) is undertaken by the UKGC for various reasons, including (but not limited to) if it has reason to suspect that activities may have been carried on in purported reliance on the license but not in accordance with a condition of the license. There are a number of potential outcomes to a regulatory investigation, including (but not limited to) revocation of the license, suspension of the license, imposition of a penalty, imposition of additional license conditions or a warning (or a combination of these outcomes). Alternatively, a regulatory investigation may conclude with a regulatory settlement, including a payment in lieu of a financial penalty. Had any such regulatory process been initiated by the UKGC, Novigroup Ltd. would have had the opportunity during that process to make detailed representations in relation to the operation of its U.K. business and its compliance processes. No further action was taken by the UKGC following the surrender of the U.K. license.

Novibet expects to continue to be subject to compliance assessments, reviews, investigations, inquiries and audits by gaming authorities and other regulators in jurisdictions in which it operates or applies for a license, which is standard practice across the regulated jurisdictions in which it operates and proposes to operate. If it is determined by relevant local regulators that Novibet is not

69

Table of Contents

in compliance with the requirements of a particular jurisdiction, it could be subject to regulatory action which may, once fully determined, conclude with the imposition of substantial fines and other civil or criminal penalties or otherwise incur significant costs and its ability to obtain or retain licenses or permits in that jurisdiction and in other jurisdictions could be impacted, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Novibet’s business, the results of its operations and its financial condition. Furthermore, financial institutions or other parties, including parties that Novibet relies on, or may in the future rely on, for certain of its operations, could decide to cease their business relationship with it if it is determined by regulators (after due regulatory process) that Novibet is not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which could also have a material adverse effect on Novibet’s business, the results of its operations and its financial condition.

The projections and prospective information included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any results attributable to the U.K. market, except for the first two months of 2022, which include historical results prior to the discontinuance of operations in the U.K. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus — Recent Developments — Discontinuance of United Kingdom Operations.

Novibet’s systems and controls to restrict access to its products may fail or not be adequate.

Novibet relies on systems and controls to verify customer information and conduct know your customer (“KYC”) and anti-money laundering (“AML”) checks. These systems and controls are intended to ensure that, among other things, Novibet does not accept bets from customers using fraudulent or ill-gotten funds. Online transactions generally may also be subject to sophisticated schemes or collusion to defraud, launder money or conduct other illegal activities by third parties, including employees. While Novibet makes continuing efforts to protect itself and its customers from such activities, including AML procedures and protection from fictitious transactions, collusion and internal financial leakage, there is no assurance that such measures will be successful or will be sufficient to satisfy regulatory requirements. These systems and controls may fail or otherwise be found to be inadequate, either currently or as a result of future technological developments. Even if our technological safeguards are adequate, we may not be successful in preventing these activities due to poor human judgment of our employees. In addition, Novibet has invested significantly to ensure that it has processes in place to identify and protect vulnerable customers, including monitoring customers’ behavior to look for customers at risk, and failure of those processes could result in negative publicity or other material adverse effects on Novibet. Any of the above may result in further violations of applicable laws or regulations as well as reputational impact on Novibet. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus — Recent Developments — Discontinuance of United Kingdom Operations.” Any claims in respect of any such violations could have financial and/or reputational implications, as well as implications on the ability of Novibet to retain, renew or expand its portfolio of licenses, and could so have a material adverse effect on Novibet’s reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We have been, and may be in the future, the subject of governmental investigations and inquiries with respect to the operation of our businesses. We are, or have been, subject to various enquiries (such as compliance assessments, annual and/or ad hoc license reviews) by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain (UKGC) (during the time when Novigroup Ltd held a remote operating license and prior to its voluntary surrender), the Malta Gaming Authority, the Agenzia Delle Dogani e dei Monopoli (Italy), and the Hellenic Gaming Commission (Greece), and National Excise License Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Ireland) which may result in sanctions ranging from a warning, license review, suspension of license to revocation of our licenses or the licenses of our executives or employees. Any sanctions or costly regulatory settlements arising from governmental investigations, inquiries, proceedings or actions could adversely affect our business. Due to the nature of applicable regulatory frameworks, sanctions or enforcement or disciplinary actions in one jurisdiction may also have adverse consequences in other jurisdictions, creating broader negative impacts on our business.

We have received, from time to time, formal and informal inquiries from government authorities and regulators, including tax authorities and gaming regulators, regarding compliance with laws and other matters, and we may receive such inquiries in the future, particularly as we grow and expand our operations.

Violations of existing or future regulation, regulatory orders or consent decrees could subject us to substantial monetary fines, prosecutions and other penalties that could negatively affect our financial condition and operations. This could include sanctions ranging from a warning to revocation of our licenses or the licenses of our executives or employees. In addition, it is possible that future orders issued by, or inquiries or enforcement actions initiated by, government or regulatory authorities could cause us to incur substantial costs, expose us to unanticipated liability or penalties, require us to agree to additional, onerous license conditions, and/or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business.

Our business is subject to the laws of a variety of jurisdictions, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business. Any change in existing regulations or their interpretation or enforcement, or the regulatory climate applicable to our products and services, or changes in tax rules and regulations or interpretation thereof related to our products and offerings, could adversely impact our ability to operate some or all of our business as currently conducted or as we seek to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are generally subject to laws and regulations relating to online gaming and sports betting in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business or from where we offer our services, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all e-commerce businesses, such as those related to privacy and personal data, tax and consumer protection. These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may have a material impact on our operations and financial results. In particular, some jurisdictions have introduced regulations attempting to restrict or prohibit online gaming, while others have taken the position that online gaming should be licensed and regulated and have adopted or are in the process of considering legislation and regulations to enable that to happen. Additionally some jurisdictions into which we may supply our services may not presently offer opportunities to obtain local licenses or may only be partially regulated and therefore more susceptible to the enactment or change of laws and regulations.

To the extent new real money gaming or sports betting jurisdictions are established or expanded, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in penetrating such new jurisdictions or expanding our business or customer base in line with the growth of existing jurisdictions. If we are unable to effectively develop and operate directly or indirectly within these new jurisdictions or if our competitors are able to successfully penetrate geographic jurisdictions that we cannot access or where we face other restrictions, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our failure to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals in such jurisdictions could have a material adverse effect on our business. See “Novibet’s Business — Regulation.” To expand into new jurisdictions, we may need to be licensed and obtain approvals of our product offerings. This is a time-consuming process that can be extremely costly. Any delays in obtaining or difficulty in maintaining regulatory approvals needed for expansion within existing jurisdictions or into new jurisdictions can negatively affect our opportunities for growth, including the growth of our customer base, or delay our ability to recognize revenue from our offerings in any such jurisdictions.

Future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may have a material impact on our operations and financial results. Governmental authorities could view us as having violated local laws, despite our efforts to obtain all applicable licenses or approvals. There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or public entities or incumbent monopoly providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against us, internet service providers, credit card and other payment processors, advertisers and others involved in the online gaming and sports betting. Such potential proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets, injunctions or other restrictions being imposed upon us or our licensees or other business partners, while diverting the attention of key executives. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as impact our reputation.

There can be no assurance that legally enforceable legislation will not be proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially relevant to our business to prohibit, legislate, restrict or limit, or regulate various aspects of the online gaming and sports betting industries (or that existing laws in those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively). Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, either as a result of our determination that a jurisdiction should be blocked, or because a local license or approval may be costly for us or our business partners to obtain and/or such licenses or approvals may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.

71

Table of Contents

Failure to comply with regulatory requirements in a particular jurisdiction, or the failure to successfully obtain a license or permit applied for in a particular regulated jurisdiction, could impact our ability to comply with licensing and regulatory requirements in other jurisdictions, or could cause the rejection of license applications or cancelation or suspension of existing licenses in other regulated jurisdictions, or could cause financial institutions or other third parties to decline to provide or to stop providing services to us which we rely upon to receive payments from, or distribute amounts to, our customers, or otherwise to deliver and promote our offerings.

Compliance with the various regulations applicable to real money gaming and sports betting is costly and time-consuming. Regulatory authorities at various levels in multiple jurisdictions have broad powers with respect to the regulation and licensing of real money gaming and sports betting operations and may raise compliance assessments, undertake license reviews or initiate other regulatory actions or investigations in relation to our activities conducted in reliance on various licenses. Any regulatory investigation which may be initiated by any regulator could lead to a variety of outcomes including revocation of the license, suspension of the license, conditions or limits on our gaming licenses, the imposition of substantial fines on us and the taking of other actions, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to potentially differing interpretations, and various legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current laws or regulations or enact new laws and regulations regarding these matters. We will strive to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to our business. It is possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules. Non-compliance with any such law or regulations could expose us to claims, proceedings, litigation and investigations by private parties and regulatory authorities, as well as suspension of or conditions imposed on a license or substantial fines and negative publicity, each of which may materially and adversely affect our business.

Any real money gaming license could be revoked, suspended or conditioned at any time. The loss of a license in one jurisdiction could trigger the loss of a license or affect our eligibility for such a license in another jurisdiction, and any of such losses, or potential for such loss, could cause us to cease offering some or all of our offerings in the impacted jurisdictions. We may be unable to obtain or maintain all necessary registrations, licenses, permits or approvals, and could incur fines or experience delays related to the licensing process, which could adversely affect our operations. Our delay or failure to obtain or maintain licenses in any jurisdiction may prevent us from distributing our offerings, increasing our customer base and/or generating revenues. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain and maintain the licenses and related approvals necessary to conduct our online gaming and sports betting operations in all of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate or plan to operate. Any failure to maintain or renew our existing licenses, registrations, permits or approvals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to taxation in a number of jurisdictions and may in the future be subject to taxation in new jurisdictions. Due to the nature of our business and our historical operating structure, changes in, or new interpretation of, tax laws, tax rules or their application or enforcement by tax authorities could result in historical or future tax liabilities and could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our tax obligations will be varied and include taxes in the U.K. and other jurisdictions due to the nature and geographic reach of Novibet’s business. The tax laws that will be applicable to our business generally are subject to varying interpretation and possible change (including those with retroactive effect), and significant judgment will be required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the course of our business, there will be many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.

The gaming industry represents a significant source of tax revenue to the jurisdictions in which we will operate. Gaming companies and business-to-business providers in the gaming industry (directly and/or indirectly by way of their commercial relationships with operators) are currently subject to significant taxes and fees in addition to normal corporate income taxes, and such taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time. From time to time, various legislators and other government officials have proposed and adopted (and may in the future propose and adopt) changes in tax laws, or in the administration or interpretation of such laws, affecting the gaming industry. In addition, any worsening of economic conditions and the large number of jurisdictions with significant current or projected budget deficits could intensify the efforts of governments to raise revenues through increases in gaming taxes and/or other taxes. It is not possible to determine with certainty the likelihood of changes in tax laws or in the administration or interpretation or enforcement of such laws. Any material increase in, or the adoption of additional, taxes or fees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects.

Additionally, tax authorities may impose indirect taxes on internet-related commercial activity based on existing statutes and regulations which, in some cases, were established prior to the advent of the internet. Tax authorities may interpret laws originally enacted for mature industries and apply it to newer industries, such as online gaming. The application of such laws may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our activities across different jurisdictions may vary from period to period which could result in differences in our taxable nexus from period to period.

We are subject to periodic review and audit by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Although we believe that our tax provisions, positions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate, tax authorities may disagree with certain positions Novibet has taken or that PubCo will take. Any adverse outcome of such a review or audit could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. In addition, economic and political pressures to increase tax revenue in various jurisdictions may make resolving tax disputes in favor of taxpayers more difficult.

We have been and may in the future be party to litigation and regulatory and tax audits in various jurisdictions. An adverse outcome in one or more such proceedings could adversely affect our business.

As a growing company with expanding operations, we in the past have been party to certain, and PubCo may in the future increasingly face the risk of, claims, lawsuits and other proceedings involving competition and antitrust, anti-money laundering, gaming, intellectual property, privacy, consumer protection, accessibility claims, securities, tax, labor and employment, commercial disputes, services and other matters, including claims by customers. Litigation to defend us against claims by third parties, or to enforce any rights that we may have against third parties, may be necessary, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, causing an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Any litigation to which we are a party may result in an onerous or unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed upon appeal, or in payments of substantial monetary damages or fines, the posting of bonds requiring significant collateral, letters of credit or similar instruments, or we may decide to settle lawsuits on similarly unfavorable terms. These proceedings could also result in reputational harm, criminal sanctions, consent decrees or orders preventing us from offering certain products or requiring a change in our business practices in costly ways or requiring development of non-infringing or otherwise altered products or technologies. Litigation and other claims and regulatory proceedings against us could result in unexpected disciplinary actions, expenses and liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Novibet follows the industry practice of restricting and managing betting limits at the individual customer level based on individual customer profiles and risk level to the enterprise; however, there is no guarantee that the jurisdictions in which we now or may in the future operate will allow operators such as Novibet to limit betting options at the individual customer level.

Similar to a credit card company managing individual risk on the customer level through credit limits, it is customary for sports betting operators to manage customer betting limits at the individual level to manage enterprise risk levels. If it were not possible to do so, the betting options could be restricted globally by regulatory actions and limits available to customers could be much lower to insulate overall risk due to the existence of a very small segment of highly sophisticated syndicates and algorithmic bettors, or bettors looking to take advantage of site errors and omissions, which could substantially decrease our profitability and financial prospects. We believe virtually all operators balance taking reasonable action from all customers against the risk of individual customers significantly harming the business viability for all operators. We cannot assure you that all jurisdictions will always allow operators to execute limits at the individual customer level, or at their sole discretion.

Palpable (obvious) errors in the posting of sports wagering odds or event times may occasionally occur in the normal course of business, sometimes for large liabilities. While it is a worldwide standard business practice to void bets associated with palpable errors or to correct the odds, there is no guarantee regulators will approve voiding palpable errors in every case.

Novibet’s sportsbook offers a huge spectrum of betting markets across dozens of sports, and the odds are set through a combination of algorithmic and manual odds making. Bet acceptance is also a combination of automatic and manual acceptance. In some cases, the odds offered on the website constitute an obvious error. Examples of such errors are inverted lines between teams, or odds that are significantly different from the true odds of the outcome in a way that all reasonable persons would agree is an error. It is commonplace virtually worldwide for operators to void bets associated with such palpable errors, and in most mature jurisdictions these bets can be voided without regulatory approval at operator discretion. It is unclear long term if regulators in less mature jurisdictions will consistently approve voids or re-setting odds to correct odds on such bets. In some cases, we could be required to

73

Table of Contents

obtain regulatory approval to void palpable errors ahead of time. If regulators were to not allow voiding of bets associated with large obvious errors in odds making, Novibet could be subject to covering significant liabilities.

Our collection, storage and use, including sharing and international transfers, of personal data are subject to applicable data protection and privacy laws, and any actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws may harm our reputation and business or expose us to fines, civil claims (including class actions), and other enforcement action. The protection of personal data is becoming increasingly regulated and changes in applicable laws may require changes to our policies, practices, procedures and personnel which may require material expenditures and harm our financial condition and results of operations.

We are, and will increasingly become as we seek to expand our business, subject to numerous domestic and foreign laws, regulations, rules and standards, as well as associated industry standards, policies and contractual or other obligations, relating to the collection, use, storage, safeguarding, retention, security, destruction. disclosure, transfer and/or other processing of personal data (collectively, “Processing”) in the jurisdictions in which we operate (collectively, “Data Protection Requirements”). These Data Protection Requirements often vary significantly by jurisdiction. While we have taken steps to comply with Data Protection Requirements, we cannot assure you that our efforts to achieve and remain in compliance with all Data Protection Requirements have been or will continue to be fully successful. If we fail, or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with any such Data Protection Requirements, this could result in enforcement actions against us that could include investigations, fines, penalties, audits and inspections, additional reporting requirements and/or oversight, temporary or permanent bans on all or some Processing of personal data or orders to destroy or not use personal data. Further, individuals or other relevant stakeholders could bring a variety of claims against us for our actual or perceived failure to comply with the Data Protection Requirements. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business or financial condition, and could lead to a loss of actual or prospective customers, collaborators or partners; result in an inability to Process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limit our ability to develop or commercialize current or prospective offerings or services; or require us to revise or restructure our operations.

For example, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies to any Processing operations carried out in the context of the activities of an establishment in the EEA, as well as to any other Processing operations relating to the offering of goods or services to individuals in the EEA and/or the monitoring of individuals’ behavior in the EEA. Also, notwithstanding the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU, by operation of the so called ‘UK GDPR’ (i.e., the GDPR as it continues to form part of the law of the United Kingdom by virtue of section 3 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and as subsequently amended) (“UK GDPR”) the GDPR continues to apply in substantially equivalent form to Processing operations carried out in the context of the activities of an establishment in the United Kingdom and any other Processing relating to the offering of goods or services to individuals in the United Kingdom and/or monitoring of individuals’ behavior in the United Kingdom. Therefore, reference to the GDPR herein also refers to the UK GDPR in the context of the United Kingdom, unless the context requires otherwise. Furthermore, the GDPR provides that EEA Member States may introduce specific, supplementary requirements related to the Processing of “special categories of personal data”; as well as personal data related to criminal offenses or convictions. In the United Kingdom, the UK Data Protection Act 2018 complements the UK GDPR in this regard. This fact may lead to greater divergence on the law that applies to the Processing of such personal data across the EEA and/or United Kingdom, which may increase our costs and overall compliance risk.

The GDPR and such supplementary requirements impose stringent data privacy and security requirements. In particular, the GDPR imposes several requirements relating to ensuring there is a lawful basis for Processing personal data, extends the rights of individuals to whom the personal data relates, materially expands the definition of what is expressly noted to constitute personal data, requires additional disclosures about how personal data is to be used, imposes limitations on retention of personal data, imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EEA/UK to most third countries, creates mandatory data breach notification requirements in certain circumstances and establishes onerous new obligations on service providers, or processors, who Process personal data simply on behalf of others. It also significantly increased penalties for noncompliance.

Additionally, following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU on January 31, 2020, and end of the post-Brexit transition period on December 31, 2020, as noted above, the United Kingdom has introduced the UK GDPR which currently makes the privacy regimes of the EEA and United Kingdom similar, though it is possible that either the European Union, and consequently those further states that make up the remainder of the EEA, or the United Kingdom could elect to change their approach and create differences in legal requirements and regulation in this area. On June 28, 2021, the European Commission issued an adequacy decision under the GDPR which allows transfers (other than those carried out for the purposes of United Kingdom immigration control) of personal data from the EEA to the United Kingdom to continue without restriction for a period of four years ending June 27, 2025. After that period, the adequacy decision may be renewed, however, only if the United Kingdom continues to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Table of Contents

During these four years, the European Commission will continue to monitor the legal situation in the United Kingdom and could intervene at any point if the United Kingdom deviates from the level of data protection in place at the time of issuance of the adequacy decision. If the adequacy decision is withdrawn or not renewed, transfers of personal data from the EEA to the United Kingdom will require a valid ‘transfer mechanism’ and we may be required to implement new processes and put new agreements in place (such as the then-current form of the European Commission-issued Standard Contractual Clauses), to enable transfers of personal data from the EEA to the United Kingdom to continue.

Because our products and services rely on the movement of data across national boundaries, global privacy and data security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our products and/or services globally. In particular, European data protection laws, such as the GDPR, generally prohibit the transfer of personal data from the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland to the United States, and most other countries, known as ‘third countries’, in respect of which the European Commission or other relevant regulatory body has not issued a so-called ‘adequacy decision’, unless the parties to the transfer have implemented specific safeguards to protect the transferred personal data. One of the primary safeguards used for transfers of personal data to the United States was the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield framework administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce. On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union, or CJEU, in a decision known as ‘Schrems II’, invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, under which personal data could be transferred from the EEA and the United Kingdom to U.S. entities that had self-certified under the Privacy Shield. To align with the CJEU’s decision in respect of the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield, on September 8, 2020, the UK government similarly invalidated the use of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield as a mechanism for lawful personal data transfers from the United Kingdom to the United States under the UK GDPR and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner announced that the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield regime was also inadequate for the purposes of personal data transfers from Switzerland to the U.S. entities who had self-certified under the Swiss Privacy Shield. The CJEU Schrems II decision referenced above also cast doubt on the ability to use one of the primary alternatives to the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield, namely, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, to lawfully transfer personal data to the United States and most other third countries. On June 4, 2021, the European Commission published new versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses. These must be used for all new transfers of personal data from the EEA to third countries starting September 27, 2021, and all existing transfers of personal data from the EEA to third countries relying on the existing versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses must be replaced by December 27, 2022. The implementation of the new Standard Contractual Clauses will necessitate significant contractual overhaul of our data transfer arrangements with partners, sub-processors and vendors as we expand our operations into the United States. Use of both the existing and the new Standard Contractual Clauses must, following the Schrems II decision, now be assessed on a case-by-case basis taking into account the legal regime applicable in the destination country, in particular applicable surveillance laws and rights of individuals, and additional supplementary technical, organizational and/or contractual measures and/or contractual provisions may need to be put in place; however, the nature of these additional measures is currently uncertain. At present, there are few if any viable alternatives to the Standard Contractual Clauses and there remains some uncertainty with respect to the nature and efficacy of such supplementary measures in ensuring an adequate level of protection of personal data. As such, our transfers of personal data to third countries may not comply with European data protection laws and may increase our exposure to the GDPR’s heightened sanctions for violations of its cross-border data transfer restrictions, including fines of up to 4% of annual global revenue or €20,000,000/£17,500,000, whichever is higher, and injunctions against transfers. As supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, including circumstances where the Standard Contractual Clauses can and cannot be used, and/or start taking enforcement action, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate and/or engage providers and/or otherwise transfer personal data, it could affect the manner in which we receive and/or provide services, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results and generally increase compliance risk. Additionally, other countries outside of Europe have enacted or are considering enacting similar cross-border data transfer restrictions and laws requiring local data residency, which could increase the cost and complexity of operating our business.

In recent years, U.S. and European lawmakers and regulators have expressed concern over electronic marketing and the use of third-party cookies, web beacons and similar technology for online behavioral advertising. On June 20, 2019, the U.K.’s Information Commissioner (the “ICO”) published a report setting out its views on advertising technology, specifically the use of personal data in “real time bidding”, and the key privacy compliance challenges arising from it. In its report, which is a status update rather than formal guidance, several key deficiencies were noted and marked for formal regulatory action. However, in May 2020, the ICO paused its investigation into real time bidding and the advertising technology industry, as it sought to prioritize activities responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ICO’s investigation resumed in January 2021, and on November 25, 2021, the ICO issued an Opinion on “Data protection and privacy expectations for online advertising proposals”, which followed up on a joint statement with the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) of May 18, 2021 and noted an intention that developments in the ad

75

Table of Contents

tech industry should operate in a data protection compliant way that ensures an appropriate level of competition. We are likely to be required to expend further capital and other resources to ensure compliance with the findings of the ICO’s final report on advertising technology, any developments from the CMA, and any relevant changing laws and regulations. While we have numerous mitigation controls in place, advertisements produced by us may be erroneously served on websites that are not suitable for the advertising content of gambling (e.g., websites predominantly aimed at children). There is also a risk that gambling advertisements are viewed by people who do not want to view them, or who have taken measures not to receive them (for example, individuals on “self-exclusion” lists). In each case this may have adverse legal and reputational effects on our business.

In the EU, rules relating to electronic direct marketing are currently set out in the ePrivacy Directive, which is likely to be replaced by a new ePrivacy Regulation. While no official time frame has been given for the ePrivacy Regulation, there will be a transition period after the ePrivacy Regulation is agreed for compliance, and commentators consider it unlikely to come into force before 2023. The ePrivacy Regulation will be directly implemented into the laws of each of the EU Member States, without the need for further enactment. When implemented, the ePrivacy Regulation is expected to alter rules on third-party cookies, web beacons and similar technology for online behavioral advertising and to impose stricter requirements on companies using these tools. Regulation of cookies and web beacons may lead to broader restrictions on our online activities, including efforts to understand followers’ Internet usage and promote ourselves to them. The current draft of the ePrivacy Regulation significantly increases fining powers to the same levels as the GDPR. Given the delay in finalizing the ePrivacy Regulation, certain regulators have issued guidance (for example., the French data protection regulator) on the requirement to seek strict opt-in, unbundled consent to use all nonessential cookies and similar technologies and the requirement to increase the standard of transparency relating to use of cookies and similar technologies. Our cookie consent management functionality and cookies notices may not meet the standards outlined in such guidance. Note that whilst ICO has updated guidance, the ePrivacy Regulation will not apply directly to the United Kingdom, as a result of Brexit. The UK Government is considering aligning the level of fines under United Kingdom law implementing the ePrivacy Directive with existing UK GDPR limits, from a much lower (£500,000 cap) base.

In the United States, the federal government, including Congress, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce, has announced that it is reviewing the need for greater regulation for the collection of information concerning consumer behavior on the internet, including regulation aimed at restricting certain targeted advertising practices. Furthermore, the Federal Trade Commission and many state attorneys general continue to enforce federal and state consumer protection laws against companies for online collection, use, dissemination, and security practices that appear to be unfair or deceptive. Numerous states have enacted or are in the process of enacting state level data privacy laws and regulations governing the collection, use, and processing of state residents’ personal data.

Although we have implemented certain policies and procedures, and continue to review and improve such policies and procedures, that are designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, if our privacy or data security measures fail, or are perceived to have failed, to comply with applicable current or future laws and regulations, we may be subject to fines, litigation, regulatory investigations and penalties (including potential suspension or loss of licenses), enforcement notices requiring us to change the way we use personal data or our marketing practices or other liabilities such as compensation claims by individuals affected by a personal data breach, as well as negative publicity and a potential loss of business. Fines are significant in some countries (e.g., the GDPR introduced fines of up to €20,000,000/£17,500,000 or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year (whichever is higher)) as well as litigation, compensation claims by affected individuals (including class action type litigation where individuals suffer harm), regulatory investigations and enforcement notices requiring us to change the way we use personal data.

Risk Related to Novibet Retaining Key Employees and Individuals

Continued growth and success will depend on the performance of the current and future employees of Novibet, including certain key employees. Competition for specialized employees in our industries is increasing, and that growing competition could increase our costs and adversely affect our results of operations. Recruitment and retention of these individuals is vital to growing our business and meeting our business plans. The loss of any of our key executives or other key employees, or inability to recruit and retain specialized employees, could harm our business.

We will depend on a limited number of key personnel to manage and operate our business, including Novibet’s founder and CEO, George Athanasopoulos. The leadership of Mr. Athanasopoulos has been a critical element of Novibet’s success and the departure, death or disability of Mr. Athanasopoulos or other extended or permanent loss of his services, or any negative market or industry

76

Table of Contents

perception with respect to him or the loss of his services, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We are currently not protected by key man or similar life insurance covering Mr. Athanasopoulos or any other executive officers or members of senior management.

In addition, certain other of Novibet’s employees have made significant contributions to its growth and success. We believe our success and our ability to compete and grow will depend in large part on the efforts and talents of our employees and on our ability to retain highly skilled personnel. The competition for these types of personnel is intense and is increasing, and we compete with other potential employers for the services of our employees. As a result, we may not succeed in retaining the executives and other key employees that we need. Employees, particularly analysts and engineers, are in high demand, and we devote significant resources to identifying, hiring, training, successfully integrating and retaining these employees. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to attract or retain such highly qualified personnel in the future. In addition, the loss of employees or the inability to hire additional skilled employees as necessary (and in particular in specialized roles such as compliance and technology function) could result in significant disruptions to our business, and the integration of replacement personnel could be time-consuming and expensive and cause additional disruptions to our business.

None of our Named Executive Officers (as defined below) has an employment agreement with Novibet. Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo may enter into employment agreements with certain of its key executive officers, including the remaining Named Executive Officers (as defined below). We cannot assure you that any such agreements with PubCo will be executed, which may make it more difficult to retain the services of certain of the executive officers. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Additionally, as we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain Novibet’s entrepreneurial, innovative and team-based culture. Our retention and recruiting may require significant increases in compensation expense as we transition to a public company, which would adversely affect our results of operation. Moreover, there may also be disparities of wealth between those of our employees who were employees of Novibet prior to the Business Combination and those who join us after the Closing, which may harm our culture and relations among employees.

If we do not succeed in attracting, hiring, and integrating excellent personnel, or retaining and motivating existing personnel, we may be unable to grow effectively and our business could be seriously harmed.

In some jurisdictions, our key executives, certain employees or other individuals related to the business, including significant shareholders, will be subject to licensing or compliance requirements. Failure by such individuals to obtain the necessary licenses or comply with individual regulatory obligations could cause the business to be non-compliant with its obligations, or imperil its ability to obtain or maintain licenses necessary for the conduct of the business. In some cases, the remedy to such situation may require the removal of a key executive or employee or significant shareholder and the mandatory redemption or transfer of such person’s equity securities, which could have an adverse effect on the overall market for our securities.

As part of obtaining real money gaming licenses, the responsible gaming authority will generally determine suitability of certain directors, officers and employees and, in some instances, significant shareholders. The criteria used by gaming authorities to make determinations as to who requires a finding of suitability or the suitability of an applicant to conduct gaming operations varies among jurisdictions, but generally requires extensive and detailed application disclosures followed by a thorough investigation. Gaming authorities typically have broad discretion in determining whether an applicant should be found suitable to conduct operations within a given jurisdiction. If any gaming authority with jurisdiction over our business were to find an applicable officer, director, employee or significant shareholder of ours unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue having a relationship with us, we would be required to sever our relationship with that person. Furthermore, such gaming authorities may require us to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file required applications. Either result could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects. See “Novibet’s Business — Regulation.”

In addition, the Restated Articles provide that any Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of PubCo owned or controlled by any shareholder whom any applicable gaming regulatory authority determines is an “unsuitable person”, will be subject to mandatory sale and transfer to one or more third-party transferees.

77

Table of Contents

Additionally, a gaming regulatory body may refuse to issue or renew a gaming license or restrict or condition the same, based on the past or present activities of Novibet or our current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders or third parties with whom we have relationships, which could adversely affect our operations or financial condition. If additional gaming regulations are adopted in a jurisdiction in which we operate, such regulations could impose restrictions or costs that could have a significant adverse effect on us. From time to time, various proposals are introduced in the legislatures of some of the jurisdictions in which we have existing or planned operations that, if enacted, could adversely affect our directors, officers, key employees, or other aspects of the Company’s operations. To date, we have obtained all governmental licenses, findings of suitability, registrations, permits and approvals necessary for our operations. However, we can give no assurance that any additional licenses, permits and approvals that may be required will be given or that existing ones will be renewed or will not be revoked. Renewal is subject to, among other things, continued satisfaction of suitability requirements of our directors, officers, key employees and shareholders. Any failure to renew or maintain our licenses or to receive new licenses when necessary would have a material adverse effect on us.

Novibet’s Intellectual Property Risks

Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, the confidentiality of our trade secrets and confidential information, or the costs involved in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights and confidential information, such enforcement could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will rely on trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret and domain-name-protection laws to protect our proprietary rights. Novibet has filed applications to protect the “Novibet” name in Greece and with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. In the future we may seek to protect additional intellectual property rights, which could require significant cash expenditures. However, notwithstanding any such protection, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our proprietary rights, third parties may challenge proprietary rights held by us, and pending and future trademark and patent applications may not be approved. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we operate or intend to operate our business. In any of these cases, we may be required to expend significant time and expense to prevent infringement or to enforce our rights. There can be no assurance that others will not offer products or services that are substantially similar to ours and compete with our business.

Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in the United States or other countries from which our online gaming or sports betting product offerings or platforms are now or will in the future be accessible. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time-consuming. Any unauthorized disclosure or use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business, thereby harming our operating results. Furthermore, if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights or prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our offerings and service. Any of these events could seriously harm our business.

We rely on licenses to use the intellectual property rights of third parties which are incorporated into our products and offerings. Failure to maintain, renew or expand existing licenses may require us to modify, limit or discontinue certain offerings, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Substantially all of our offerings and services use intellectual property licensed from third parties. The future success of our business may depend, in part, on our ability to obtain, retain and/or expand licenses for popular technologies and games in a competitive market. We cannot assure that these third-party licenses, or support for such licensed products and technologies, will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In the event that we cannot renew and/or expand existing licenses, we may be required to discontinue or limit our use of the products that include or incorporate the licensed intellectual property.

Some of the license agreements we enter into contain minimum guaranteed royalty payments to the third party. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to offset the minimum guaranteed royalty payments, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Our license agreements generally allow for assignment in the event of a strategic transaction but contain some limited termination rights post-assignment. Certain of our license agreements grant the licensor rights to audit our use of their intellectual property. Disputes with licensors over uses or terms could result in the payment of additional royalties or penalties by us, cancellation or non-renewal of the underlying license or litigation.

78

Table of Contents

The regulatory review process and licensing requirements also may preclude us from using technologies owned or developed by third parties if those parties are unwilling to subject themselves to regulatory review or do not meet regulatory requirements. Some gaming authorities require gaming manufacturers to obtain approval before engaging in certain transactions, such as acquisitions, mergers, reorganizations, financings, stock offerings and share repurchases. Obtaining such approvals can be costly and time consuming, and we cannot assure that such approvals will be granted or that the approval process will not result in delays or disruptions to our strategic objectives.

Our insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims.

We currently only have directors liability insurance but intend to maintain insurance that we believe is customary for businesses of our size and type. However, there are types of losses we may incur that cannot be insured against or that we believe are not economically reasonable to insure. Moreover, any loss incurred could exceed policy limits and policy payments made to us may not be made on a timely basis. Such losses could adversely affect our business prospects, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Following the Business Combination, PubCo’s principal asset will be its interests in Novibet and its subsidiaries, and accordingly we depend on distributions from Novibet and such subsidiaries to pay taxes and expenses.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will be a holding company and will have no material assets other than its interests in Novibet and its subsidiaries. PubCo is not expected to have independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and its ability to pay taxes and operating expenses, as well as dividends in the future, if any, will be dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of Novibet and its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that Novibet and its subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to PubCo or that applicable state law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants under any debt instruments, if applicable, will permit such distributions. If Novibet and its subsidiaries do not distribute sufficient funds to PubCo to pay its taxes or other liabilities, PubCo may default on contractual obligations or have to borrow additional funds. In the event that PubCo is required to borrow additional funds, it could adversely affect PubCo’s liquidity and subject PubCo to additional restrictions imposed by lenders.

Risks Related to Artemis and the Business Combination

Artemis may not have sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination.

As of June 30, 2022, Artemis had $497,072 in cash and a working capital deficit of $4,046,898. Further, Artemis has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. Artemis will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its officers, directors, or third parties. Artemis may not be able to obtain such additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about Artemis’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from Artemis’s inability to continue as a going concern.

If Artemis is required to seek additional capital, it would need to borrow funds from the Sponsor or other third parties to operate or it may be forced to liquidate. None of such persons is under any obligation to advance funds to Artemis in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to Artemis upon completion of the Business Combination. If Artemis is unable to consummate the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, Artemis will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. Consequently, Artemis Public Stockholders may receive less than $10.20 per share and their Public Warrants may expire worthless.

The Business Combination remains subject to conditions that Artemis cannot control and if such conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including the condition that Artemis maintain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-5(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination (which condition may not be waived by either party), the Minimum Closing Cash Condition (which may be waived by Novibet in its sole discretion), the condition that there is no legal prohibition against consummation of the Business Combination, the condition that the PubCo Ordinary Shares are approved for listing on Nasdaq upon the Closing, subject only to official notice of issuance thereof, receipt of securityholder approvals, continued effectiveness of the

Table of Contents

registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the truth and accuracy (in certain cases, in all material respects) of the representations and warranties of Artemis, Novibet, PubCo, Merger Sub and Komisium made in the Business Combination Agreement, the non-termination of the Business Combination Agreement and execution and delivery of certain ancillary agreements, instruments and certificates. There are no assurances that all conditions to the Business Combination will be satisfied or that such conditions will be satisfied in the time frame expected. If the Business Combination is not consummated by the date that is nine months after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, or December 30, 2022, then either Artemis or Novibet may terminate the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof. If Artemis does not complete the Business Combination, it could be subject to several risks, including:

negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed;
the attention of its management will have been diverted to the Business Combination rather than its own operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to Artemis; and
time and resources will have been expended in negotiating potential initial business combinations that do not reach completion, resulting in a more limited timeframe and remaining resources to complete an initial business combination.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect Artemis’s and Novibet’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governmental authorities worldwide implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business limitations and shutdowns. More generally, the pandemic raises the possibility of an extended global economic downturn and has caused volatility in financial markets. The pandemic may also amplify many of the other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Artemis may be unable to complete the Business Combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 (including the Delta and Omicron variants and potential subsequent waves or new variants or strains of the virus) restrict travel and limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or Novibet personnel. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts Artemis’s and Novibet’s ability to consummate the Business Combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, Novibet’s and Artemis’s ability to consummate the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected.

Artemis Stockholders may not know prior to the redemption deadline or prior to the Special Meeting whether we will have satisfied the Minimum Closing Cash Condition.

If we receive valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, we may, at our sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the Closing, seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. We may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account, including where we otherwise would not satisfy the Minimum Closing Cash Condition. This process could take a number of days, and there may be a period of time after the Special Meeting and before the Closing when Artemis Stockholders do not know whether we have satisfied this closing condition. Accordingly, Artemis Public Stockholders may be required to make redemption and voting decisions without knowing whether we will satisfy all of the conditions to closing the Business Combination.

Novibet’s licenses and applications for licenses in certain jurisdictions may be subject to a review procedure or an ownership change consent requirement by regulators as a result of the Business Combination, which could result in a license or application being canceled, withheld, delayed or subjected to additional requirements or conditions.

Novibet holds certain licenses and has filed certain applications for licenses to operate online gaming and sports-betting products in various jurisdictions. The regulatory bodies that oversee and issue these licenses and review such applications regularly review corporate transactions involving ownership changes to determine whether the ownership changes have any impact on current licenses held by, or applications pending with respect to, the companies involved. Such regulatory bodies also have broad discretion in determining whether to cancel existing licenses, withhold new licenses, deny or delay applications, or require the businesses to

80

Table of Contents

comply with additional conditions as a result of a business combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain regulatory review of our applications or licenses in a timely fashion or without any limitations as a result of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how the Artemis Public Stockholders vote.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its shares of Artemis Common Stock in favor of the Business Combination and all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor owns approximately 13.6% of the total outstanding Artemis Common Stock. Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by the Sponsor, Artemis would need 9,165,310 Public Shares, or approximately 45.5% of the 20,125,000 shares sold in Artemis’s initial public offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved. Moreover, the Artemis Anchor Investors own approximately 9.5 million Public Shares based on the latest available public filings. Although the Artemis Anchor Investors are not required to hold their Artemis Units or Public Shares for any amount of time, or to vote or not redeem their Public Shares, if the Artemis Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.

Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval for the Business Combination will be received than would be the case if the Sponsor agreed to vote its shares of Artemis Common Stock in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the Artemis Public Stockholders.

Novibet, Komisium, Merger Sub, PubCo and Artemis have incurred and will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

Novibet, Komisium, Merger Sub, PubCo and Artemis have all incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating PubCo as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. PubCo may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. All expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid at Closing out of the funds in the Trust Account.

Artemis may not be able to complete the Business Combination or any other business combination within the prescribed timeframe, in which case Artemis would cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and Artemis would redeem the Public Shares and liquidate. In such event, third-parties may bring claims against Artemis, and, as a result, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.20 per share.

Under the terms of the Existing Artemis Charter, Artemis must complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date. Artemis may not be able to consummate the Business Combination or any other business combination by such date. If Artemis has not completed any initial business combination by such date, it must: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account deposits (which interest will be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Artemis Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Artemis’s remaining stockholders and the Artemis Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Artemis’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no liquidating distributions with respect to the Artemis Warrants, which will expire worthless.

In such event, third parties may bring claims against Artemis. Although Artemis has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers (other than its independent auditors) it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the Trust Account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of

81

such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of the Artemis Public Stockholders.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Artemis if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to it, or a prospective target business with which Artemis has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under Artemis’s indemnity of the underwriters in the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. Artemis has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for its indemnification obligations, it has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy such obligations, and it believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Artemis. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for Artemis’s initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per Public Share. In such event, Artemis may not be able to complete its initial Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares.

Artemis may be a target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits that could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into Business Combination Agreements or similar agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Artemis’s liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Business Combination, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed or from being completed within the expected timeframe, which may adversely affect Artemis’s and Novibet’s respective businesses, financial condition and results of operation. Currently, Artemis is not aware of any securities class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits being filed in connection with the Business Combination.

Artemis’s current directors and executive officers beneficially own shares of Artemis Common Stock and Artemis Warrants that will be worthless if the Business Combination is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination.

Artemis’s executive officers and directors and/or their affiliates beneficially own or have a pecuniary interest in shares that the Sponsor purchased prior to, or simultaneously with, Artemis’s IPO. Artemis’s executive officers and directors and their affiliates have no redemption rights with respect to these securities in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period. Therefore, if the Business Combination with Novibet or another business combination is not approved by the Liquidation Date, such securities held by such persons will be worthless. Such securities had an aggregate market value of approximately $        million based upon the closing prices of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Units on Nasdaq on           , 2022. Furthermore, the Sponsor, Artemis’s officers or directors, or their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Artemis’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and mergers. If Artemis fails to consummate the Business Combination, it will not have any claim against the Trust Account for repayment or reimbursement. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of Artemis’s directors to approve the Business Combination with Novibet and to continue to pursue the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of the Artemis Board to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, Artemis Public Stockholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of Artemis’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interest of Artemis Stockholders.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require Artemis to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Novibet or to waive rights that Artemis is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Novibet’s business, a request by Novibet to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Novibet’s business and would entitle Artemis to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of those circumstances, it would be at Artemis’s discretion, acting through the Artemis Board to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what they may believe is best for Artemis and what they may believe is best for themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, Artemis will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit the vote of Artemis Stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Activities taken by the Sponsor or its affiliates to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals could have a depressive effect on the Artemis Common Stock.

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Artemis or its securities, the Sponsor, Novibet, Komisium, or the equity holders of Artemis and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or who redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, their Public Shares, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Artemis Common Stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates would be purchased at a price no higher than the redemption price for the Public Shares, which is currently estimated to be $10.20 per share. Any Public Shares so purchased would not be voted by the Sponsor or its affiliates at the Special Meeting and would not be redeemable by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of Redemptions. In the event that the Sponsor, Artemis’s directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Artemis Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares.

While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including, subject to the Investors Agreement, the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Artemis Class A Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor may have the ability to effectively purchase shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the Artemis Common Stock he owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination and the number of beneficial holders of PubCo securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of PubCo securities on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

No agreements dealing with the above arrangements or purchases have been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Artemis will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the Business Combination, industry-wide changes and other causes.

In general, either Artemis or Novibet may refuse to complete the Business Combination if there is a material adverse effect affecting the other party between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to consummate the Merger, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Novibet or Artemis, including the following events (except, in certain cases, where the change has a disproportionate effect on a party):

acts of war, outbreak of hostilities, military actions, sabotage, civil unrest, protests, demonstrations, insurrections, riots, terrorism, cyberattacks or geopolitical or social conditions, including any escalation or worsening thereof;
earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, disease, epidemics, pandemics (including COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 virus or any mutation or variation thereof, and any COVID-19 Measures (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) or any change in such COVID-19 Measures or interpretations following the date of the Business Combination Agreement) or other natural or man-made disasters, public health emergencies or weather conditions;
changes or proposed changes in Applicable Law (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (or any interpretation thereof) after the date of the Business Combination Agreement;
changes or proposed changes in IFRS or GAAP (or any interpretation thereof) after the date of the Business Combination Agreement;
general economic, regulatory, business or tax conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial, capital or reinsurance markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets), in each case, in the United States, Malta, Greece or anywhere else in the world;
events or conditions generally affecting the industries or geographic areas in which the Group Companies (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) operate;
any failure to meet any projections, forecasts, guidance, estimates, milestones, budgets or financial or operating predictions of revenue, earnings, cash flow or cash position, unless change, event, state of facts, development or occurrence underlying such failure has resulted in a material adverse effect;
any actions required to be taken, or required not to be taken, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement;
any action taken, or not taken, by, or at the written request of, Artemis; or
any change, event, state of facts, development or occurrence attributable to the announcement or execution, pendency, negotiation or consummation of the Business Combination (including the impact thereof on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees or governmental entities).

Furthermore, Artemis or Novibet may waive the occurrence of a material adverse effect affecting the other party. If a material adverse effect occurs and the parties still consummate the Business Combination, the market trading price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants may suffer.

Delays in completing the Business Combination may jeopardize or substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Business Combination.

Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the Business Combination may take longer than, and could cost more than, Artemis expects. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the Business Combination may materially adversely affect the benefits that Artemis expects to achieve from the Business Combination. In addition, the parties will have the

84

Table of Contents

right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement if the Business Combination is not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

Artemis’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Artemis Public Stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Artemis’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

While Artemis currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Artemis, it is possible that Artemis’s independent directors. in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties, may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If Artemis’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Artemis Public Stockholders may be reduced below $10.20 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Artemis Public Stockholders, Artemis files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of Artemis Stockholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by its stockholders in connection with its liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Artemis Public Stockholders, Artemis files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Artemis’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third-parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by Artemis Stockholders in connection with Artemis’s liquidation may be reduced.

Artemis Stockholders may be held liable for claims by third-parties against Artemis to the extent of distributions received by them.

If Artemis is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination by the Liquidation Date, Artemis will cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, liquidating and dissolving, subject to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Artemis cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, Artemis Stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more), and any liability of Artemis Stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, Artemis cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from Artemis Stockholders amounts owed to them by Artemis.

If Artemis is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Artemis Stockholders. Furthermore, because Artemis intends to distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to the Artemis Public Stockholders promptly after the Liquidation Date, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to the Artemis Public Stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, the Artemis Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Artemis’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Novibet to claims of punitive damages, by paying Artemis Public Stockholders from the Trust Account before addressing the claims of creditors. Artemis cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

The Artemis Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination.

The Artemis Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Artemis Board and management conducted due diligence on

85

Table of Contents

Novibet and researched the industry in which Novibet operates and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interests of Artemis Stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Artemis Board in valuing Novibet’s businesses, and the Artemis Board may not have properly valued such businesses. However, the officers and directors of Artemis have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries. Furthermore, in analyzing the Business Combination, the Artemis Board conducted significant due diligence on Novibet. Based on the foregoing, the Artemis Board concluded that its members’ experience and backgrounds enabled it to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination, including that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders and that Novibet’s fair market value was at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. There can be no assurance, however, that the Artemis Board was correct in its assessment of the Business Combination. For a complete discussion of the factors utilized by the Artemis Board in approving the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal.”

The lack of a third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their Public Shares for cash, which could potentially impact Artemis’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Barclays and BMO were to be compensated in part on a deferred basis for services already rendered as underwriters in connection with Artemis’s IPO and Barclays was to be compensated as a financial and capital markets advisor in connection with the Business Combination. Barclays and BMO, gratuitously and without any consideration from Artemis or Novibet, waived such compensation and disclaimed any responsibility for this proxy statement/prospectus.

On July 14, 2022, Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) delivered to Artemis a notice of resignation of its roles as financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis in connection with the Business Combination and waived all rights to fees (including deferred underwriting commissions for services rendered as one of the underwriters in Artemis’ IPO) and reimbursement of expenses in connection with the Business Combination. On July 20, 2022,BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO”), one of the underwriters in the IPO, delivered to Artemis a notice that BMO waived any entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO. BMO had no role in connection with the Business Combination.

The resignation letters from Barclays and BMO did not specify the reasons for Barclays’ withdrawal from the Business Combination or Barclays’ and BMO’s forfeiture of their respective fees after doing all of the work to earn such fees. There is no dispute among any of Artemis, Novibet, Barclays or BMO with respect to Barclays and BMO’s services or their resignations. It is the understanding of both Artemis and Novibet that the SEC has received similar resignation letters from other investment banks in connection with other business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies.

Barclays and BMO were not responsible for the preparation of any disclosure that is included in this proxy statement/prospectus, or any materials underlying such disclosure. As with all members of the Business Combination working group, Barclays received drafts of this proxy statement/prospectus prepared by Artemis and provided limited comments in the ordinary course. Artemis management considered Barclays’s input based on its expertise and experience in the industry, but Artemis management conducted its own independent analysis and made its own conclusions in connection with the aforementioned materials, and prepared and was fully responsible for the current disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The services of Barclays, as underwriter in the IPO and financial and capital markets advisor, and BMO as underwriter in the IPO, were complete, and Barclays and BMO were not expected to play a role in the Closing. Accordingly, neither Artemis nor Novibet believes that Barclays’ and BMO’s resignations will impact the consummation of the Business Combination. Nonetheless, it is possible that Barclays’ and BMO’s resignations may adversely affect market perception of the Business Combination generally. If market perception of the Business Combination is negatively impacted, an increased number of stockholders may vote against the Business Combination or seek to redeem their Public Shares for cash, which could potentially impact Artemis’s ability to consummate the Business Combination. Accordingly, shareholders should not place any reliance on the fact that Barclays and BMO were previously involved with any aspect of the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Directors and officers of Artemis have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

When considering the Artemis Board’s recommendation that Artemis Stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination, Artemis Stockholders should be aware that Artemis’s directors and executive officers, the Sponsor, advisors and entities affiliated with them, have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Artemis Stockholders. These interests include:

At the time of our initial public offering, our Sponsor, officers, and directors entered into the Insiders Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Sponsor Shares and any other shares of Artemis Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. Our Sponsor and our officers and directors also agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Sponsor Shares if Artemis fails to complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date. Our Sponsor, officers, and directors did not receive separate consideration for such waivers. Due to such waivers, the value of the Sponsor Shares is dependent on the consummation of a business combination. This may incentivize the Artemis insiders to complete a business combination on terms or conditions that are not in the best interest of the Artemis Public Stockholders.
Our Sponsor owns an aggregate of 3,412,816 Sponsor Shares, which it purchased prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Upon the Closing, such Sponsor Shares will be converted into 3,412,816 PubCo Ordinary Shares, which will represent approximately 4.93% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the No Redemptions Scenario, 5.34% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 50% Redemptions Scenario, or approximately 5.15% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 100% Redemptions Scenario, in each case assuming no Earnout Consideration is issued and without taking into account potential exercises of outstanding PubCo Warrants. Based on the closing price of Artemis Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq of $[•] on [•], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, such Sponsor Shares would be worth approximately $[•]. This represents a [•]% gain on the Sponsor’s investment. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by the Liquidation Date, then the Sponsor Shares will be worthless.
Given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Sponsor Shares as compared to the price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on its investment even if the PubCo Ordinary Shares trade below $10.00 per share and the Artemis Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Artemis Public Stockholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Artemis Public Stockholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $10.00 per share.
Artemis’s independent directors have invested an aggregate of approximately $1 million in the Sponsor and are entitled to their pro rata portion of the Sponsor Shares and Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor, or an aggregate of 553,481 Sponsor Shares and 1,646,406 Private Placement Warrants.
Certain of the Artemis Anchor Investors are members of the Sponsor and, as a result of their direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Artemis Class B Common Stock, they may make a substantial profit off of the completion of a business combination even if the Artemis Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return; moreover, if the Artemis Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes its shares.
Simultaneously with the Closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate investment of $8 million, in a private placement to our Sponsor. Each Private Placement Warrants is exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing, for one PubCo Ordinary Share at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by the Liquidation Date, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Artemis Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The Private Placement Warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $[] based upon the

87

Table of Contents

closing price of $[] per share and $[] per warrant, respectively, on Nasdaq on [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting.
Our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date. In such event, there will be no liquidating distributions made with respect to our Sponsor Shares or the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor. In contrast, Artemis Public Stockholders will receive approximately $10.20 per share if the Trust Account is liquidated, calculated as of [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting.
As disclosed in the prospectus for Artemis’s IPO, the members of Artemis’s management team and its directors have also invested in the Sponsor by subscribing for units issued by the Sponsor. Through their investment in the Sponsor, these officers and directors will share in a portion of any appreciation in Sponsor Shares and Private Placement Warrants, provided that we successfully complete a business combination.
It is currently contemplated that Thomas Granite, current Chief Financial Officer of Artemis, will serve as Chief Financial Officer of PubCo. As such, in the future he may receive any salary, bonus, cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its Chief Financial Officer, though the specific terms of Mr. Granite’s employment with PubCo have not been discussed. It is also currently contemplated that Holly Gagnon, co-Chief Executive Officer and a director of Artemis, and Philip Kaplan, current co-Chief Executive Officer of Artemis, will serve as directors of PubCo after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its directors.
If Artemis is unable to complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date, in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Artemis if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Artemis, or a prospective target business with which Artemis has entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If Artemis completes a business combination, on the other hand, PubCo will be liable for all such claims.
Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Artemis and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Artemis for working capital expenses. If Artemis does not complete an initial Business Combination within the required period, Artemis may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay any then outstanding working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for a period of six years following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo is required to (i) maintain provisions in the Restated Articles providing for the indemnification of Artemis’s existing directors and officers and (ii) maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that covers Artemis’s existing directors and officers.
Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination. However, if Artemis fails to consummate an initial business combination, such persons will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement and Artemis may not be able to reimburse these expenses. As of August 29, 2022, there were no reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses that are expected to be reimbursed using funds from the Trust Account at Closing.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and Artemis’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Artemis Public Stockholders. In the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $42.8 million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of (a) approximately $34.8 million representing the value of the Sponsor Shares (assuming a value of $10.20 per share, the deemed value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination) and (b) $8 million representing the value of the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor (using the $1.00

88

Table of Contents

per warrant purchase price). As of August 29, 2022, there were no outstanding loans, fees or out-of-pocket expenses for which the Sponsor, its affiliates or Artemis’s directors or officers were awaiting reimbursement.

These financial interests of the officers and directors, and entities affiliated with them, may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination. You should consider these interests when evaluating the Business Combination and the recommendation of the Proposal to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Existing Artemis Charter waives the corporate opportunity doctrine. Additionally, Artemis’s officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that Artemis renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Artemis and such opportunity is one Artemis is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for Artemis to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to Artemis without violating another legal obligation. Further, Artemis’ officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled “Other Information Related to Artemis — Conflicts of Interest”. We believe there were no such corporate opportunities that were not presented as a result of these provisions in our Existing Artemis Charter or the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities, but we cannot assure you that this provision in the Existing Artemis Charter did not impact our search for a business combination target.

Because PubCo will become a public reporting company by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, PubCo’s stockholders may face additional risks and uncertainties.

Because PubCo will become a public reporting company by means of consummating the Business Combination rather than by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, there is no independent third-party underwriter selling PubCo Ordinary Shares, and, accordingly, PubCo’s stockholders will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in a public securities offering. Due diligence reviews typically include an independent investigation of the background of the company, any advisors and their respective affiliates, review of the offering documents and independent analysis of the plan of business and any underlying financial assumptions. Because there is no independent third-party underwriter selling the PubCo Ordinary Shares, Artemis Stockholders must rely on the information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Although Artemis performed a due diligence review and investigation of Novibet in connection with the Business Combination that it believed to be reasonable, the lack of an independent due diligence review and investigation increases the risk of investment in PubCo because this due diligence investigation may not have uncovered facts that would be important to a potential investor.

In addition, because PubCo will not become a public reporting company by means of at traditional underwritten initial public offering, security or industry analysts may not provide, or be less likely to provide, coverage of PubCo. Investment banks may also be less likely to agree to underwrite follow-on or secondary offerings on behalf of PubCo than they might if PubCo became a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, because they may be less familiar with PubCo as a result of not having performed similar work during the initial public offering process or because of more limited coverage by analysts and the media. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for PubCo Ordinary Shares could have an adverse effect on PubCo’s ability to develop a liquid market for PubCo Ordinary Shares. See “— Risks Related to Ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants following the Business Combination — PubCo’s share price may be volatile and may decline regardless of its operating performance.”

Barclays may have had a potential conflict of interest regarding the Business Combination prior to its resignation.

Prior to its resignation, Barclays served as an underwriter in the IPO, and, upon consummation of the Business Combination, was entitled to receive approximately $4,578,438 of deferred underwriting commission.

Furthermore, Barclays (prior to its resignation) was engaged by Artemis as its financial and capital markets advisor in connection with the Business Combination. Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned as financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis and

89

Table of Contents

waived its entitlement to all fees in connection with its role as financial and capital markets advisor and to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions.

Barclays had an interest in Artemis’s completing a business combination prior to the Liquidation Date, and may have had a potential conflict of interest given that it was entitled to the deferred portion of its underwriting compensation, and its advisory fee was payable, only if an initial business combination was completed within the specified timeframe.

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Artemis has conducted extensive due diligence on Novibet, Artemis cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in Novibet’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Artemis’s business and outside of their control will not later arise. As a result, PubCo may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if Artemis’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Artemis’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on PubCo’s liquidity, the fact that PubCo reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions of PubCo or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause PubCo to violate net worth or other covenants to which PubCo may be subject as a result of PubCo obtaining post-combination debt financing. Accordingly, any Artemis Stockholders who choose to remain shareholders of PubCo following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value, unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by Artemis’s officers or directors of a fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation materials, relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

Artemis and Novibet have no history operating as a combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information may not be an indication of PubCo’s financial condition or results of operations following the Business Combination, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate PubCo and your investment decision.

Novibet and Artemis have no prior history as a combined entity and their operations have not been previously managed on a combined basis. Additionally, PubCo has been recently incorporated and has no operating history and no revenues. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information for PubCo contained in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared using the respective consolidated historical financial statements of Novibet and Artemis, and is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an indication of the results of operations, including, without limitation, future revenue, or financial condition of PubCo following the Business Combination. Certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding Novibet and Artemis after giving effect to the Business Combination. Novibet and Artemis believe these assumptions are reasonable; however, the information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments are difficult to make with accuracy. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect PubCo’s results of operations or financial condition following the consummation of the Business Combination. For these and other reasons, the pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus does not necessarily reflect PubCo’s financial condition and results of operations and the actual financial condition and results of operations of PubCo following the Business Combination may not be consistent with, or evident from, this pro forma financial information. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

Certain of the estimates and assumptions on which Novibet’s financial projections are based have proven, and may again in the future prove, to be inaccurate in light of changes in the global economy and the general business environment in which Novibet operates. As a result, the projections and forecasts presented in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be an indication of the actual results of the Business Combination or PubCo’s future results.

This proxy statement/prospectus contains projections and forecasts prepared by Novibet in February 2022. None of the projections and forecasts included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared with a view toward public disclosure (other than to certain parties involved in the Business Combination) or toward complying with SEC guidelines or IFRS. The projections and forecasts were

90

Table of Contents

prepared based on numerous variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Novibet and Artemis and exclude, among other things, transaction-related expenses.

Since the preparation of the prospective financial information on February 10, 2022, the general business environment in which Novibet operates has continued to change and experience volatility, driven by, among other factors, inflation, tightening monetary policy, and global supply chain disruptions, partially caused by the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and by ongoing geopolitical developments across the world. These factors are causing significant disruptions to the global economy, resulting generally in reduced global economic activity and uncertainty, which has constrained consumer discretionary spending both in Europe, in which Novibet currently operates, and in North America, where Novibet is expanding its business. Novibet believes these factors will have a negative impact on its 2023 and 2024 financial results and, as a result, in July 2022, Novibet informed Artemis that its 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts are no longer accurate and should not be relied upon as indicative of its belief regarding future performance for those years. Although Novibet previously provided its 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts to the Artemis Board, such forecasts did not form the basis for the valuation of Novibet and were not material to the Artemis Board’s determination to approve the Business Combination. The 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts have not been included in this proxy statement/prospectus because Novibet believes that such forecasts are unreliable. While Novibet believes that the negative macro and micro economic conditions that are putting material stress on consumer discretionary spending will likely dissipate in the second half of 2024, and that its 2025E financial forecast is still reasonably achievable, there can be no assurance of this, and Novibet has not made any representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the Novibet Forecasts.

Important additional factors that may affect actual results and results of PubCo’s operations following the Business Combination, or could lead to such projections and forecasts not being achieved include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully expand into new markets and territories, currency fluctuations, unexpected technology failures and other business interruptions, successful management and retention of key personnel, unexpected expenses and general economic conditions. As such, these projections and forecasts may be inaccurate and should not be relied upon as an indicator of actual past or future results. The projections and prospective information included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any results attributable to the U.K. market, except for the first two months of 2022, which include historical results prior to the discontinuance of operations in the U.K. See “Summary — Recent Developments — Discontinuance of United Kingdom Operations.”

If Artemis’s due diligence investigation of Novibet was inadequate, then Artemis Stockholders following the consummation of the Business Combination could lose some or all of their investment.

Even though Artemis conducted a due diligence investigation of Novibet that it believed to be reasonable, it cannot be certain that this due diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present inside Novibet or its business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Novibet and its business and outside of its control will not later arise.

Artemis has conducted due diligence to assess the management of Novibet’s business but cannot assure you that Novibet’s management has all the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company.

Artemis conducted due diligence on Novibet and its management team, but its assessment of the capabilities of Novibet’s management may prove to be incorrect and Novibet management may lack the skills, qualifications or abilities that Artemis believed the Novibet management to have. Should Novibet’s management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company, the operations and profitability of PubCo following the Business Combination may be negatively impacted. Accordingly, any Artemis Stockholders who choose to remain stockholders of PubCo following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, Komisium will control PubCo, and its interests may conflict with yours in the future.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination: (i) Artemis Public Stockholders will own approximately 29% of outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, (ii) the Sponsor and Artemis Anchor Investors will collectively own approximately 7% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, and (iii) Komisium will own approximately 64% of outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares. These percentages (w) assume that no Artemis Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Merger, (x) assume Komisium receives $50 million of Closing Cash Consideration, (y) do not include PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable to

91

Table of Contents

Komisium as Deferred Share Consideration or Earnout Consideration upon the satisfaction of certain earnout conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, and (z) assume none of the PubCo Warrants are exercised for cash at the Closing. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership and voting power in PubCo will be different.

The Investors Agreement will further provide that: (a) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint three members of the PubCo Board; provided that at least one such board member must satisfy Nasdaq independence requirements; (b) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 40% but less than 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint two members of the PubCo Board, neither of whom will be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements; and (c) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% but less than 40% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint one member of the PubCo Board, who will not be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements.

As a result of its voting control, Komisium will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove directors, Komisium will indirectly effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and other matters of corporate or management policy. This concentration of ownership may delay or deter possible changes in control and limit the liquidity of the trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares, which may reduce the value of an investment of such shares. This voting control could also deprive shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a potential sale of PubCo. So long as Komisium or its affiliates continue to own a significant amount of PubCo’s voting power, they may continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control its decisions. The interests of Komisium and its affiliates may not coincide with the interests of other holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Artemis (or PubCo) will not have any right to make damage claims against Novibet or Novibet’s shareholders for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Novibet in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that all of the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained therein shall not survive the closing of the Business Combination, except for those covenants that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the closing, and then only with respect to breaches occurring after closing. Accordingly, there are no remedies available to the parties with respect to any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement after the closing of the Business Combination, except for covenants to be performed in whole or in part after the closing. As a result, Artemis (or PubCo) will have no remedy available to it if the Business Combination is consummated and it is later revealed that there was a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Novibet at the time of the Business Combination.

Artemis and Novibet will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

Artemis and Novibet have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Artemis and Novibet may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. All expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs.

During the Pre-Closing period, Artemis and the Group Companies are prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to Artemis, the Group Companies or their respective shareholders.

Until the earlier of the Closing of the Business Combination or termination of the Business Combination Agreement, Artemis and the Group Companies are subject to certain limitations on the operations of their businesses, each as summarized under the “The Business Combination Agreement — Conduct of Novibet Prior to Closing” and “— Conduct of Artemis Prior to Closing”. The limitations on Artemis’s and the Group Companies’ conduct of their businesses during this period could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue business opportunities that are available only for a limited time.

Uncertainties about the Business Combination during the Pre-Closing period may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning the Group Companies or seek to change existing arrangements.

There may be uncertainty regarding whether the Business Combination will occur. This uncertainty may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning the Group Companies, which could negatively affect the Group Companies’ business. Third parties may seek to change existing agreements with the Group Companies as a result of the Business Combination or other reasons.

Risks Related to the Adjournment Proposal

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and a quorum is present but an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Artemis Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in circumstances where such adjournment is necessary to permit the Business Combination to be approved.

If, at the Special Meeting, the Artemis Board determines that it would be in the best interests of Artemis to adjourn the Special Meeting to give Artemis more time to consummate the Business Combination for whatever reason (such as if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, or if Artemis would have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon the consummation of the Business Combination, or if additional time is needed to fulfill other closing conditions), the Artemis Board will seek approval to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and a quorum is present but an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Artemis Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes or take other steps to cause the conditions to the Business Combination to be satisfied. In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Risks Related to the U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Business Combination

If the Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code or as part of a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, or is taxable under Section 367(a) of the Code, then the Business Combination generally would be taxable with respect to U.S. investors of Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants.

The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Section 368(a)Reorganization”) and/or as part of a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code (a “Section 351 Transaction”). Assuming the Merger qualifies either as a Section 368(a)Reorganization or as part of a Section 351 Transaction, and subject to the limitations, exceptions and qualifications described in “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below, U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations  —  Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below) exchanging Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares generally should not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the failure of a U.S. Holder to meet certain requirements could result in the exchange of Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares being a taxable event. As discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below, the appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Artemis Warrants in connection with the Merger is uncertain, in particular because it is unclear whether the Merger qualifies as a Section 368(a) Reorganization. There are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the Merger will satisfy the requirements to qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization. For example, under Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the acquiring corporation (or, in the case of certain reorganizations structured similarly to the Business Combination, its corporate parent) must continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business. However, there is an absence of guidance directly on point as to how the above rules apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with investment-type assets, such as Artemis. The closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Merger will qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization or as part of a Section 351 Transaction, and neither Artemis nor PubCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert a different position or that a court will not sustain such a challenge by the IRS. Moreover, even if the Merger were to qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization and/or as part of a Section 351 Transaction, Section 367(a) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder provide that, where a U.S. shareholder exchanges stock or securities in a U.S. corporation for stock or securities in a non-U.S. (“foreign”) corporation in a transaction that qualifies as a Section 368(a) Reorganization or a Section 351 Transaction, the U.S. shareholder is required to recognize any gain, but not loss, realized on such exchange unless certain additional requirements are met, as discussed in more detail under the sections entitled “Certain Material Tax

93

Table of Contents

Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Additional Requirements for Tax Deferral.” There are significant factual and legal uncertainties concerning the determination of whether these requirements will be satisfied with respect to the Business Combination.

A U.S. Holder generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to the exchange of Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Merger if the Merger does not qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization or as part of a Section 351 Transaction. The amount of such gain or loss would be equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value (as of the closing date of the Business Combination) of PubCo Ordinary Shares received in the Business Combination, over such holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Artemis Class A Common Stock surrendered by such holder in the Business Combination. If the Merger does not qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization, it is possible that the U.S. Holder could be required to either recognize gain or loss or recognize only gain but not loss with respect to the exchange of Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants in the Merger. The amount of any such gain or (if applicable) loss is discussed in further detail under the sections entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations  — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger — U.S. Holders Exchanging Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants.

Furthermore, if a U.S. Holder exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for a portion of its Artemis Class A Common Stock or, if such U.S. Holder exercises its redemption right with respect to all of its Artemis Class A Common Stock but maintains its ownership of Artemis Warrants, such redemption may be treated as integrated with the Merger rather than as a separate transaction. In such case, cash received by such U.S. Holder in the redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in a Section 368(a) Reorganization or a Section 351 Transaction which, depending on the circumstances applicable to such U.S. Holder, may be treated as capital gain (but not loss) or dividend income. If the IRS were to assert, and a court were to sustain, such a contrary position, such U.S. Holder may be required to recognize more gain or income than if the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock was treated as a separate transaction from the exchanges pursuant to the Merger. For further discussion on the tax implications of such possible treatment, please see the discussion under the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.” If you are a U.S. Holder exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Artemis Class A Common Stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences to you if the Merger and the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock are to be treated as an integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The tax consequences of the Business Combination are complex and will depend on your particular circumstances. For a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Business Combination for U.S. Holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants, including the requirements for tax-deferred treatment and the application of Section 367(a) of the Code, see the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger” and “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Additional Requirements for Tax Deferral.” If you are a U.S. investor whose Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants are exchanged in the Business Combination, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences thereof.

The IRS may not agree that PubCo should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Although PubCo is incorporated and tax resident in the United Kingdom, the IRS may assert that it should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation is generally classified as a U.S. (or “domestic”) corporation if it is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia. Because PubCo is not so created or organized (but is instead incorporated only in the United Kingdom), it would generally be classified as a foreign corporation (that is, a corporation other than a U.S. (or “domestic”) corporation) under these general rules. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception under which a corporation created or organized only under non-U.S. law may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As more fully described in the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of PubCo — Tax Residence of PubCo for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes,” based on the terms of the Business Combination, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Section 7874 Regulations”), and certain factual assumptions, PubCo is not currently expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code after the

94

Table of Contents

Business Combination. However, the application of Section 7874 of the Code is complex, is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and would be impacted by changes in such U.S. tax laws and regulations with possible retroactive effect) and is subject to certain factual uncertainties. In addition, whether the requirements for the treatment of PubCo as a foreign corporation have been satisfied must be finally determined after the completion of the Business Combination, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the status of PubCo as a foreign corporation under Section 7874 of the Code or that such challenge would not be sustained by a court.

If the IRS were to successfully challenge under Section 7874 of the Code PubCo’s status as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, PubCo and certain PubCo shareholders could be subject to significant adverse tax consequences, including a higher effective corporate income tax rate on PubCo and potential future withholding taxes on certain PubCo shareholders. In particular, holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants would be treated as holders of stock and warrants of a U.S. corporation.

See “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consideration — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of PubCo — Tax Residence of PubCo for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes” for a more detailed discussion of the application of Section 7874 of the Code to the Business Combination. Investors in PubCo should consult their own advisors regarding the application of Section 7874 of the Code to the Business Combination.

Section 7874 of the Code may limit the ability of Artemis to use certain tax attributes following the Business Combination, increase PubCo’s U.S. affiliates’ U.S. taxable income or have other adverse consequences to PubCo and PubCo’s investors.

Following the acquisition of a U.S. corporation by a foreign corporation, Section 7874 of the Code can limit the ability of the acquired U.S. corporation and its U.S. affiliates to use U.S. tax attributes (including net operating losses and certain tax credits) to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions, as well as result in certain other adverse tax consequences, even if the acquiring foreign corporation is respected as a foreign corporation for purposes of Section 7874 of the Code. In general, if a foreign corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation, and after the acquisition the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 60% (by either vote or value) but less than 80% (by vote and value) of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the acquired U.S. corporation, subject to other requirements, certain adverse tax consequences under Section 7874 of the Code may apply.

If these rules apply to the Merger, PubCo and certain of PubCo’s shareholders may be subject to adverse tax consequences including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of tax attributes with respect to “inversion gain” recognized over a 10-year period following the Business Combination, disqualification of dividends paid by PubCo from preferential “qualified dividend income” rates and the requirement that any U.S. corporation owned by PubCo include as “base erosion payments” that may be subject to a minimum U.S. federal income tax any amounts treated as reductions in gross income paid to certain related foreign persons. Furthermore, certain “disqualified individuals” (including officers and directors of a U.S. corporation) may be subject to an excise tax on certain stock-based compensation held thereby, currently at a rate of 20%.

As more fully described in the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of PubCo — Utilization of Artemis’s Tax Attributes and Certain Other Adverse Tax Consequences to PubCo and PubCo’s Shareholders,” based on the terms of the Business Combination, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 of the Code and the Section 7874 Regulations (as defined above), and certain factual assumptions, PubCo is not currently expected to be subject to these rules under Section 7874 of the Code after the Business Combination. The above determination, however, is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and would be impacted by future changes in such U.S. tax laws and regulations, with possible retroactive effect) and is subject to certain factual uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge whether PubCo is subject to the above rules or that such a challenge would not be sustained by a court.

However, even if PubCo is not subject to the above adverse consequences under Section 7874 of the Code, PubCo may be limited in using its equity to engage in future acquisitions of U.S. corporations over a 36-month period following the Business Combination. If PubCo were to be treated as acquiring substantially all of the assets of a U.S. corporation within a 36-month period after the Business Combination, the Section 7874 Regulations would exclude certain shares of PubCo attributable to the Business Combination for purposes of determining the Section 7874 Percentage (as defined in “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States

95

Table of Contents

Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of PubCo — Tax Residence of PubCo for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes”) of that subsequent acquisition, making it more likely that Section 7874 of the Code will apply to such subsequent acquisition.

See “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of PubCo — Utilization of Artemis’s Tax Attributes and Certain Other Adverse Tax Consequences to PubCo and PubCo’s Shareholders” for a more detailed discussion of the application of Section 7874 of the Code to the Business Combination. Investors in PubCo should consult their own advisors regarding the application of Section 7874 of the Code to the Business Combinations.

If a U.S. investor is treated as owning at least 10% of PubCo Ordinary Shares, such U.S. investor may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a U.S. investor is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of PubCo Ordinary Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such U.S. investor may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to PubCo, or to any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, if PubCo or such non-U.S. subsidiary constitutes a “controlled foreign corporation” (in each case, as such terms are defined under the Code). A non-U.S. corporation is considered a controlled foreign corporation if more than 50% of (1) the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote, or (2) the total value of the stock of such corporation is owned, or is considered as owned by applying certain constructive ownership rules, by U.S. shareholders on any day during the taxable year of such non- U.S. corporation. Due to certain downward attribution rules, because PubCo expects to own shares of one or more U.S. subsidiaries after the Closing, its non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as controlled foreign corporations regardless of whether PubCo is treated as a controlled foreign corporation (though there are recently issued final and currently proposed Treasury Regulations and proposed tax legislation that may limit the application of these rules in certain circumstances). Certain United States shareholders of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to annually report and include in their U.S. taxable income, as ordinary income, their pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income” and certain investments in U.S. property by such controlled foreign corporation, whether or not such controlled foreign corporation makes any distributions to such United States shareholders. A failure by a United States shareholder to comply with such required reporting obligations may subject the United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and other adverse tax consequences, and may extend the statute of limitations with respect to the United States shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which such reporting was due. No assurance can be provided that PubCo will assist investors in determining whether PubCo or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any investor is a United States shareholder with respect to any such controlled foreign corporation or that PubCo will furnish to any United States shareholder information that may be necessary for such person to comply with the aforementioned obligations. U.S. investors should consult their own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to their investments in PubCo.

If PubCo is characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” U.S. investors may suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If PubCo is or becomes a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the section of this prospectus captioned “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders”) of the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants, the U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

PubCo does not currently expect to be treated as a PFIC for its current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, whether PubCo is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year is a factual determination that can only be made after the close of such taxable year and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty and change. Accordingly, there can be no assurances with respect to PubCo’s status as a PFIC for its current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. PubCo has agreed to provide to former Artemis shareholders information that is reasonably required in order for such former shareholders to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to PubCo, including a PFIC annual information statement, if PubCo determines it is a PFIC for any taxable year. However, there can be no assurance that PubCo will timely provide such required information with respect to any of its other investors, and such election would be unavailable with respect to PubCo Warrants in all cases. U.S. investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to their investment in PubCo. For a more detailed description of the PFIC rules, see the section of this prospectus captioned “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.

The facilities of the DTC are a widely used mechanism that allow for rapid electronic transfers of securities between the participants in the DTC system, which include many large banks and brokerage firms. PubCo expects that the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants will be eligible for deposit and clearing within the DTC system. PubCo expects to enter into arrangements with DTC whereby it will agree to indemnify DTC for any U.K. stamp duty or SDRT that may be assessed upon it as a result of its service as a depository and clearing agency for the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants. PubCo expects these actions, among others, will result in DTC agreeing to accept the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants for deposit and clearing within its facilities. One of these actions includes seeking a non-statutory, pre-transaction clearance from HMRC to confirm, among other things, that no U.K. stamp duty or SDRT will be chargeable in respect of the issue of the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants into the facilities of DTC.

DTC is not obligated to accept the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the PubCo Warrants for deposit and clearing within its facilities in connection with the listing thereof of Nasdaq and, even if DTC does initially accept the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants, it will generally have discretion to cease to act as a depository and clearing agency for the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the PubCo Warrants, including to the extent that any changes in English law (including changes to retained EU law following the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU, which could affect the stamp duty or SDRT position as further discussed in the section entitled “Certain Material Tax Considerations — Material United Kingdom Tax Considerations” of this proxy statement/prospectus) change the stamp duty or SDRT position in relation to the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the PubCo Warrants.

If DTC determine prior to the completion of the Business Combination that the PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or the PubCo Warrants are not eligible for clearance within the DTC system, then PubCo would not expect to complete the Business Combination and the listing contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus in its current form. However, if DTC determines at any time after the completion of the Business Combination and the listing contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus that the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the PubCo Warrants were not eligible for continued deposit and clearance within its facilities, then PubCo believes the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants would not be eligible for continued listing on a U.S. securities exchange and trading in the shares would be disrupted. While PubCo would pursue alternative arrangements to preserve its listing and maintain trading, any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the PubCo Warrants.

Transfers of PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants outside DTC may be subject to U.K. stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax, or SDRT, which would increase the cost of dealing the PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or the PubCo Warrants.

On completion of the Business Combination and the listing contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus, it is anticipated that the new PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants will be issued to DTC, or a nominee for DTC, and corresponding book-entry interests credited in the facilities of DTC. You are strongly encouraged to hold your PubCo Ordinary Shares in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC. A non-statutory, pre-transaction clearance is being sought from HMRC to confirm, among other things, that no stamp duty or SDRT will be chargeable in respect of the issue of PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants into the facilities of DTC. If DTC determines prior to the completion of the Business Combination that the PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or the PubCo Warrants are not eligible for clearance within the DTC system, then PubCo would not expect to complete the Business Combination and the listing contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus in its current form.

A transfer of title in the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants from within the DTC system to a purchaser out of DTC and any subsequent transfers that occur entirely outside the DTC system, will generally result in a charge to U.K. stamp duty at a rate of 0.5% (rounded up to the nearest £5) or SDRT at a rate of 0.5% of any consideration, which is normally paid by the transferee of the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the PubCo Warrants. Any transfer document and related payment of such duty must be made electronically (and confirmation of submission and payment received from HM Revenue & Customs, or “HMRC”) before the transfer can be registered in PubCo’s company books. However, if those PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants are redeposited into DTC, the redeposit will generally attract stamp duty and/or SDRT at the rate of 1.5% to be paid by the transferor.

Risks Related to Redemptions of Artemis Public Shares

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to redeem or sell your Artemis Shares or Artemis Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Artemis Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) Artemis’s completion of the Business Combination or, if the Business Combination is not completed, an alternative business combination, or in connection with an amendment to the Existing Artemis Charter to extend the date by which Artemis must complete an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, and (ii) the redemption of the Artemis Public Shares if Artemis is unable to complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if Artemis plans to redeem the Public Shares because Artemis is unable for any reason to complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date, compliance with Delaware law may require that Artemis submit a plan of dissolution to Artemis’s then-existing stockholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in the Trust Account. In that case, Artemis Public Stockholders may be forced to wait beyond 18 months or 21 months after the IPO, as applicable, before they receive funds from the Trust Account. In no other circumstances will Artemis Public Stockholders have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Artemis Warrants, potentially at a loss.

If Artemis Public Stockholders fail to properly demand redemption of their shares, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Artemis Stockholders holding Public Shares may demand that Artemis redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. Artemis Stockholders who seek to exercise this redemption right must deliver their Public Shares (either physically or electronically) to Artemis’s transfer agent no later than [time] Eastern time two business days prior to the scheduled date of the Special Meeting. Artemis Public Stockholders are not required to vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or at all, or to be stockholders of record on the record date in order to exercise redemption rights. Any Artemis Public Stockholder who fails to properly demand redemption of such stockholder’s Public Shares will not be entitled to redeem his or her Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Artemis Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem your Public Shares.

An Artemis Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares, without Artemis’s prior consent. Accordingly, if you, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom you are acting in concert or as a group, hold more than 15% of the Public Shares and the Business Combination Proposal is approved, you will not be able to seek redemption rights with respect to the full amount of your Public Shares and may be forced to hold the public shares in excess of 15% or sell them in the open market. Artemis cannot assure you that the value of such excess Public Shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Class A Common Stock will exceed the per-share redemption price.

There is no guarantee that an Artemis Public Stockholder’s decision to redeem its Artemis Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

There is no assurance as to the price at which an Artemis Public Stockholder may be able to sell its shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or shares with respect to any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in the share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than an Artemis Public Stockholder might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed his, her or its shares. Similarly, if an Artemis Public Stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business

combination, and there can be no assurance that an Artemis Public Stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. Artemis Public Stockholders should consult their tax and/or financial advisors for assistance on how this may affect their individual circumstances.

The securities in which Artemis invests the proceeds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the interest income available for payment of taxes or reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that we are unable to complete the Business Combination or make certain amendments to the Existing Artemis Charter, the Artemis Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income, net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses. Negative interest rates could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by Artemis Public Stockholders may be less than $10.20 per share.

The ability of the Artemis Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of the Public Shares may not allow Artemis to complete the Business Combination, have sufficient cash available to fund PubCo’s business or optimize the capital structure of PubCo.

At the time Artemis entered into the agreements for the Business Combination, it did not know how many stockholders will exercise their redemption rights, and therefore, it structured the Business Combination based on its expectations as to the number of Public Shares that will be submitted for redemption. If a larger number of Public Shares are submitted for redemption than it initially expected, this could lead to a failure to consummate the Business Combination, a failure to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or a lack of liquidity, which could impair Artemis’s ability to fund its operations and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants following the Business Combination

PubCo may issue additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or other securities following the Business Combination without shareholder approval, which would dilute existing ownership interests and may depress the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

PubCo may issue additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future without shareholder approval in a number of circumstances, including in connection with, among other things, PubCo’s incentive equity plan and any earnout issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares due under the Business Combination Agreement. PubCo’s issuance of additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects:

PubCo’s existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in PubCo may decrease;
the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;
the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding PubCo Ordinary Share may be diminished; and
the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares may decline.

As PubCo will be an English public limited company, certain capital structure decisions will require shareholder approval, which may limit PubCo’s flexibility to manage its capital structure. Conversely, such approval rights may not provide protection for shareholders to the extent that Komisium, the majority shareholder, has sufficient voting rights to exercise such approval rights unilaterally or with minimal support from other shareholders.

PubCo is a public limited company incorporated in England. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the U.K. Companies Act 2006, or “U.K. Companies Act”, provides that a board of directors of a public limited company may only allot shares (or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares) with the prior authorization of shareholders, either pursuant to an ordinary resolution or as set out in the articles of association adopted from time to time with the approval of PubCo’s shareholders. This authorization must state the aggregate nominal amount of shares that it covers, can be valid up to a maximum period of five years and can be varied, renewed or revoked by shareholders.

Subject to certain exceptions, the U.K. Companies Act generally requires a statutory pre-emptive right to be observed when new ordinary shares are issued (or rights are granted to subscribe for or to convert any security into ordinary shares) for cash. However, it is possible for the articles, or for shareholders to pass a special resolution at a general meeting, being a resolution passed by at least 75% of the votes cast, to disapply pre-emptive rights. Such a disapplication of pre-emptive rights may be for a maximum period of up to five years from the date of adoption of the articles, if the disapplication is contained in the articles, but not longer than the duration of the authority to allot shares to which this disapplication relates or from the date of the shareholder special resolution, if the disapplication is by shareholder special resolution. In either case, this disapplication would need to be renewed by PubCo’s shareholders upon its expiration (i.e., at least every five years).

Subject to certain limited exceptions, the U.K. Companies Act generally requires a public limited company which wishes to repurchase its own shares to obtain the prior approval of its shareholders by ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of votes cast. Such approval may be provided for a maximum period of up to five years.

There can be no assurance that circumstances will not arise that would cause such shareholder approvals in respect of the authorization of the allotment of shares, disapplication of pre-emption rights, or repurchase of shares, not to be obtained, which would affect PubCo’s capital management.

Conversely, such approval rights may not in practice provide protection for shareholders to the extent that Komisium, the majority shareholder of PubCo, has sufficient voting rights to exercise such approval rights unilaterally or with minimal support from other shareholders.

U.K. company law will require that PubCo meet certain additional financial requirements before it can declare dividends or repurchase shares following the Business Combination.

Under U.K. company law, PubCo will only be able (with certain limited exceptions) to declare dividends, make distributions or repurchase its own shares out of profits available for distribution, being PubCo’s accumulated, realized profits, to the extent not previously utilized by distribution or capitalization, less its accumulated, realized losses, to the extent not previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital. Immediately following the Business Combination, PubCo is not expected to have profits available for distribution.

The Restated Articles provide that the courts of England and Wales will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of all shareholder complaints other than complaints asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any shareholder complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

The Restated Articles will provide that the courts of England and Wales will be the exclusive forum for resolving all shareholder complaints other than shareholder complaints asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York will be the exclusive forum for resolving any shareholder complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. This choice of forum provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against PubCo or its directors, officers or other employees as it may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable or may increase the shareholder’s costs in bringing such a claim. In addition, the shareholders may have to incur significant costs in bringing a claim against PubCo or its directors, officers or other employees in

100

Table of Contents

England and Wales or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, as the case may be. If a court were to find either choice of forum provision contained in the Restated Articles to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, PubCo may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect PubCo’s results of operations and financial condition. However, in most cases the courts of England and Wales will give effect to an exclusive jurisdiction clause vesting jurisdiction in them or in the courts of another state.

U.S. investors may have difficulty enforcing civil liabilities against PubCo, its directors or members of senior management and the experts named herein.

PubCo is incorporated in England with its registered office in England. Following and subject to the closing of the Business Combination, most of its subsidiaries would be incorporated in various jurisdictions outside the United States. A substantial portion of PubCo’s assets would be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on PubCo in the United States or to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in U.S. courts against PubCo based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of England and Wales (or any other applicable jurisdiction) may render you unable to enforce a judgment against PubCo’s assets or the assets of its directors and executive officers. In addition, it is doubtful whether English courts would enforce certain civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws in original actions or judgments of U.S. courts based upon these civil liability provisions. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere may be unenforceable in the United Kingdom. An award for monetary damages under the U.S. securities laws would likely be considered punitive if it does not seek to compensate the claimant for loss or damage suffered and is intended to punish the defendant. The enforceability of any judgment in the United Kingdom will depend on the particular facts of the case as well as the laws and treaties in effect at the time. The United States and the United Kingdom do not currently have a treaty providing for recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitration awards) in civil and commercial matters. As a result of the above, public holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants (or depositary receipts representing any of them) may have more difficulty in protecting their interest through actions against PubCo’s management, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. public company.

U.K. company law and provisions in the Restated Articles may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of PubCo by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to PubCo shareholders, and may prevent attempts by PubCo shareholders to replace or remove our PubCo directors.

Certain provisions of the U.K. Companies Act and the Restated Articles may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of PubCo or changes in the PubCo directors. For example, the Investors Agreement will provide for Artemis and Komisium to appoint the members of the PubCo Board unless and until their interest in PubCo falls below certain specified thresholds. See “Related Agreements — Investors Agreement” for more information.

In addition, public limited companies are not permitted under the U.K. Companies Act to take shareholder action by written resolution instead of convening a general meeting of shareholders.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in PubCo directors.

The rights of PubCo shareholders may differ from the rights typically offered to shareholders of a U.S. corporation and these differences may make PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants less attractive to investors.

PubCo is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. The rights of holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares are governed by English and U.K. law, including the provisions of the U.K. Companies Act, and by the Restated Articles (as amended from time to time). These rights differ in certain respects from the rights of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations, and these differences may make PubCo Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors.

The U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, or the “Takeover Code,” applies, among other things, to an offer for a public limited company whose registered office is in the United Kingdom (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man) and whose securities are not admitted to trading on a regulated market in the United Kingdom (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man) if the company is considered by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, or the “Takeover Panel,” to have its place of central management and control in the United Kingdom (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man). This is known as the “residency test.” The test for central management and control under the Takeover Code is different from that used by the U.K. tax authorities and the Takeover Panel will

101

Table of Contents

consider the structure of the board, the functions of the directors and where they are resident. By way of example, if a majority of the members of PubCo’s Board are resident in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, then the “residency test” will normally be satisfied.

Given that PubCo believes its central management and control is currently not situated within, and PubCo’s current intention is not to have it in the future situated within the United Kingdom (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man), PubCo does not currently envisage that the Takeover Code will apply to an offer for it. However, this may subsequently change, or the interpretation and application of the Takeover Code by the Takeover Panel may change (including changes to the way in which the Takeover Panel assesses the application of the Takeover Code to English companies whose shares are listed outside of the United Kingdom), the Takeover Code may apply to PubCo in the future.

If the Takeover Panel subsequently determines that PubCo has its place of central management and control in the United Kingdom and accordingly is subject to the Takeover Code, PubCo would be subject to a number of rules and restrictions, including but not limited to the following: (i) PubCo’s ability to enter into deal protection arrangements with a bidder would be extremely limited; (ii) PubCo might not, without the approval of its shareholders, be able to perform certain actions that could have the effect of frustrating an offer, such as issuing shares or carrying out acquisitions or disposals; and (iii) PubCo would be obliged to provide equality of information to all bona fide competing bidders. Additionally, the Takeover Code contains certain rules in respect of mandatory offers. Under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, if a person: (a) acquires an interest in PubCo shares which, when taken together with shares in which such person or persons acting in concert with such person are interested, carries 30% or more of the voting rights of PubCo shares; or (b) who, together with persons acting in concert with such person, is interested in shares that in the aggregate carry not less than 30% and not more than 50% of the voting rights in the company, acquires additional interests in shares that increase the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which that person is interested, the acquirer and, depending on the circumstances, its concert parties, would be required (except with the consent of the Takeover Panel) to make a cash offer for the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares at a price not less than the highest price paid for any interests in the shares by the acquirer or its concert parties during the previous 12 months.

Under U.K. company law, regardless of whether PubCo is subject to the Takeover Code, an offeror for PubCo that has acquired (i) 90% in value of; and (ii) 90% of the voting rights carried by the shares to which the offer relates may exercise statutory squeeze-out rights to compulsorily acquire the shares of the non-assenting minority. However, if an offer for PubCo is conducted by way of a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement, the threshold for the offeror obtaining 100% of PubCo Ordinary Shares comprises two components: (i) approval by a majority in number of each class of PubCo shareholders present and voting at the shareholder meeting; and (ii) approval of PubCo shareholders representing 75% or more in value of each class of PubCo shareholders present and voting at that meeting.

PubCo’s share price may be volatile and may decline regardless of its operating performance.

The market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors and may continue to fluctuate for these and other reasons, many of which are beyond PubCo’s control, including:

actual or anticipated fluctuations in PubCo’s revenue and results of operations;
the financial projections PubCo may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or its failure to meet these projections;
failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of PubCo, changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow PubCo or its failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
announcements by PubCo or its competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, results of operations or capital commitments;
changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other online gambling companies;
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;

102

Table of Contents

trading volume of the PubCo Ordinary Shares;
the inclusion, exclusion or removal of the PubCo Ordinary Shares from any indices;
changes in the PubCo’s Board or management;
transactions in the PubCo Ordinary Shares by directors, officers, affiliates and other major investors;
lawsuits threatened or filed against PubCo;
changes in laws or regulations applicable to PubCo’s business;
changes in PubCo’s capital structure, such as future issuances of debt or equity securities;
short sales, hedging and other derivative transactions involving PubCo’s capital stock;
general economic conditions in the United States;
pandemics or other public health crises, including, but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic;
other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events; and
the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.

The stock market has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The market prices of securities of companies have experienced fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to their operating results. In the past, stockholders have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Any similar litigation against PubCo could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and harm its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

An active, liquid trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants.

Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, there was no public market for PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants. Although we have applied to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants on Nasdaq upon the Effective Time under the ticker symbols “NOVI” and “NOVIW”, respectively, an active trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants may never develop or be sustained following the consummation of the Business Combination. The initial valuation of $10.20 per PubCo Ordinary Share may not be indicative of the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares that will prevail in the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination. A public trading market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither we nor any market maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants. The market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares may decline below $10.20 per share, and you may not be able to sell your PubCo Ordinary Shares at or above $10.20 per share, or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by issuing PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants.

103

Table of Contents

Even if PubCo’s securities are listed on Nasdaq at the Closing, there can be no assurance that PubCo will be able to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards.

PubCo’s continued eligibility for listing on Nasdaq depends on a number of factors. If Nasdaq delists the PubCo Ordinary Shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, PubCo and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
a determination that the PubCo Ordinary Shares are “penny stocks,” which will require brokers trading in the PubCo Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the PubCo Ordinary Shares;
a limited amount of analyst coverage; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

A significant portion of our total outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants will be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of holders intend to sell PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants, could reduce the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to Komisium will be subject to transfer restrictions. Transfer restrictions will also apply to the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants held by the Sponsor and to the Anchor Investor Warrants. All of these PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants will, however, be able to be resold after the expiration of the lock-up period, as well as pursuant to customary exceptions thereto. Moreover, certain holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares (including PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying PubCo Warrants) will have certain registration rights that could require us to file registration statements in connection with sales of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants by such holders. Such sales by such holders could be significant. As restrictions on resale end, the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants could decline if the holders of currently restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

The PubCo securities to be received by Artemis’s securityholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from Artemis securities.

Following completion of the Business Combination, Artemis’s securityholders will no longer be securityholders of Artemis but will instead be securityholders of PubCo. There will be important differences between your current rights as an Artemis securityholder and your rights as a PubCo securityholder. See “Comparison of Rights of PubCo Shareholders and Artemis Stockholders” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the PubCo securities.

The Artemis Public Stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares as consideration in the Business Combination, and may experience dilution from several additional sources in connection with and after the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that the Artemis Public Stockholders have on the management of PubCo.

The issuance of additional PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination, including the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares as consideration to Komisium, will dilute the equity interests of the Artemis Public Stockholders and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Public Shares and Public Warrants. Artemis Public Stockholders who do not redeem their Public Shares may

104

Table of Contents

experience dilution from several additional sources to varying degrees in connection with and after the Business Combination, including in each of the following instances:

In addition to the 65,000 PubCo Ordinary shares, 44,059,019 PubCo Ordinary Shares are anticipated to be issued to Komisium as consideration in the Business Combination, valued at $10.20 per share, and $50 million of Closing Cash Consideration in the No Redemptions Scenario, representing approximately 63.59% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be outstanding following the consummation of the Business Combination. In the 50% Redemptions Scenario, 48,702,401 additional PubCo Ordinary Shares are anticipated to be issued to Komisium and approximately $2.6 million of Closing Cash Consideration, representing approximately 76.26% of the PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be outstanding following the consummation of the Business Combination. In the 100% Redemptions Scenario, 48,960,980 additional PubCo Ordinary Shares are anticipated to be issued to Komisium, Additional Closing Share Consideration of 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares are anticipated to be issued to Komisium, and no Closing Cash Consideration, representing approximately 92.31% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be outstanding following the consummation of the Business Combination. Please see “What happens if a substantial number of Artemis Public Stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their Redemption rights?” for more information.
Up to an additional 10,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares may be issued to Komisium as Earnout Consideration if the relevant earnout conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement are met. Additionally, if redemptions by Artemis’s public stockholders are less than 85%, the Additional Closing Share Consideration will be deferred and Deferred Share Consideration of 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares will be issued upon the satisfaction of certain earnout conditions. If the Earnout Consideration and Deferred Share Consideration was issued in full on the Closing Date and no PubCo Warrants are exercised, the Earnout Consideration and Deferred Share Consideration together would represent 24.31% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the No Redemptions Scenario, 25.84% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 50% Redemptions Scenario, and 13.10% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 100% Redemptions Scenario (because the Additional Closing Share Consideration would be issued at Closing and no Deferred Share Consideration would be issuable in the 100% Redemptions Scenario).
An aggregate of 20,062,500 Artemis Warrants will be outstanding following the Business Combination (including 10,062,500 Public Warrants and 10,000,000 Private Placement Warrants). The PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the PubCo Warrants represent approximately 22.46%, 23.91%, and 23.23% of the fully-diluted number of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming the No Redemptions Scenario, the 50% Redemptions Scenario and the 100% Redemptions Scenario, respectively, assuming no Deferred Share Consideration and no Earnout Consideration is issued.
Although PubCo has not yet adopted an incentive equity plan or employee stock purchase plan, PubCo expects to do so after the completion of the Business Combination. If such plans are adopted, additional PubCo Ordinary Shares will be reserved pursuant to such plans. The granted awards, when vested and settled or exercisable, may result in the issuance of additional shares up to the amount of the share reserve under such plans, if adopted.
PubCo may determine, subject to the receipt of any stockholder or stock exchange approvals that may be required, to issue additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in connection with privately negotiated transactions following the consummation of the Business Combination.

The issuance of additional PubCo Ordinary Shares (or other equity securities of equal or senior rank), including through any of the foregoing, could have the following effects for holders of Public Shares who elect not to redeem their shares:

your proportionate ownership interest in PubCo will decrease;
the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding PubCo Ordinary Share will be diminished; or
the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants may decline.

The Artemis Warrants are accounted for as liabilities and are recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each reporting period to be reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock and PubCo Ordinary Shares.

The Artemis Warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and are recorded at fair value upon their issuance with any changes in fair value each period reported in earnings as determined by Artemis. This may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock and PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Even if Artemis consummates the Business Combination, there is no guarantee that the PubCo Warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the PubCo Warrants may be amended.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Artemis Warrants will become PubCo Warrants. The exercise price for the PubCo Warrants will be $11.50 per PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to adjustment. There is no guarantee that the PubCo Warrants, following the Business Combination, will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the PubCo Warrants may expire worthless.

PubCo may redeem your unexpired PubCo Warrants for cash prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your PubCo Warrants worthless.

PubCo will have the ability to redeem outstanding PubCo Warrants for cash at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on each of 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption, and provided further that there is an effective registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day redemption period, or PubCo has elected to require the exercise of the PubCo Warrants on a “cashless basis,” and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Historical trading prices for Artemis’s ordinary shares have not exceeded the $18.00 per share threshold at which the PubCo Warrants would become redeemable. If and when the PubCo Warrants become redeemable by PubCo, it may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding PubCo Warrants could force holders (i) to exercise the PubCo Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (ii) to sell the PubCo Warrants at the then-current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold its warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding PubCo Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the PubCo Warrants.

In addition, PubCo will have the ability to redeem the outstanding PubCo Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration for PubCo Ordinary Shares upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that the closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to notice of such redemption and provided that certain other conditions are met, including that holders will be able to exercise their PubCo Warrants prior to redemption based on the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares. The value received upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants (i) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their PubCo Warrants at a time when the underlying share price is higher and (ii) may not compensate the holders for the value of the PubCo Warrants, including because the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares received is capped at 0.361 PubCo Ordinary Shares per PubCo Warrant irrespective of the remaining life of the PubCo Warrants. Historical trading prices for Artemis’s ordinary shares during the months of August, July and June 2022 have not exceeded the $10.00 per share threshold at which the PubCo Warrants would become redeemable.

In the event that PubCo determines to redeem the PubCo Warrants, holders of such redeemable warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in our warrant agreement. Specifically, in the event that PubCo elects to redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, PubCo will fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and a notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by PubCo not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holders of

106

Table of Contents

the redeemable warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner provided in the warrant agreement will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder receives such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via PubCo’s posting of the redemption notice to DTC.

You may only be able to exercise your PubCo Warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if you do so, you will receive fewer PubCo Ordinary Shares from such exercise than if you were to exercise such PubCo Warrants for cash.

The Assumed Warrant Agreement provides that in the following circumstances holders of PubCo Warrants who seek to exercise their PubCo Warrants will not be permitted to do for cash and will, instead, be required to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act: (i) if the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement; (ii) if PubCo has so elected and the PubCo Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of “covered securities” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act; and (iii) if PubCo has so elected and PubCo calls the Public Warrants for redemption. If you exercise your Public Warrants on a cashless basis, you would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the PubCo Ordinary Shares (as defined in the next sentence) over the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would receive fewer PubCo Ordinary Shares from such exercise than if you were to exercise such PubCo Warrants for cash.

We may amend the terms of the PubCo Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of Public Warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your PubCo Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a PubCo Warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

The Artemis Warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Artemis. At Closing, the Warrant Agreement will be assigned to and assumed by PubCo. The Warrant Agreement provides, with respect to the Artemis Warrants, and the Assumed Warrant Agreement will provide, with respect to the PubCo Warrants, that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants. Accordingly, PubCo may amend the terms of the PubCo Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment. Although PubCo’s ability to amend the terms of the PubCo Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a PubCo Warrant.

The Assumed Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of the PubCo Warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with PubCo.

The Assumed Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against PubCo arising out of or relating in any way to the Assumed Warrant Agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that PubCo irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. PubCo will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Assumed Warrant Agreement do not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

107

Table of Contents

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of the PubCo Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Assumed Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of the PubCo Warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

This choice-of-forum provision may limit a warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Artemis, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Assumed Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, Artemis may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of PubCo’s management and the PubCo Board.

PubCo will be a foreign private issuer and, as a result, it will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because PubCo will qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, it will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (1) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time and (3) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year and U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation FD, which is intended to prevent issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.

As PubCo will be a “foreign private issuer” and intends to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, its shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

As a foreign private issuer listed on Nasdaq, we will be subject to corporate governance listing standards. However, Nasdaq rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country in lieu of certain Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Certain corporate governance practices in England, which is our home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Therefore, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — PubCo Status as a Foreign Private Issuer” for the exemptions to the Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to foreign private issuers.

PubCo may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

As discussed above, PubCo will be a foreign private issuer and therefore will not be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and may take advantage of certain exemptions to Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to PubCo on June 30, 2022. In the future, PubCo would lose its foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of its directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or it fails to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. If PubCo loses its foreign private issuer status, it will

108

Table of Contents

be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. PubCo would also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, it would lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of Nasdaq. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, PubCo would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that it will not incur as a foreign private issuer.

The requirements of being a public company may strain PubCo’s resources and divert management’s attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that will result from the Business Combination may be greater than we anticipate. PubCo could face fines and penalties, and potentially criminal penalties, if we fail to comply.

As a result of the Business Combination, PubCo will become a public company, and as such (and particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company), will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Novibet did not incur as a private company. PubCo will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and will be required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as the rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq, including changes in corporate governance practices and the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Compliance with these rules and regulations can be burdensome. PubCo management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase Novibet’s historical legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance than Novibet obtained as a private company, and could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of the PubCo Board as compared to Novibet as a private company. In particular, we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will increase when we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff, and engage outside consultants, all with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and maintain an internal audit function, which will increase our operating expenses. Moreover, we could incur additional compensation costs in the event that we decide to pay cash compensation closer to that of other public companies, which would increase our general and administrative expenses and could materially and adversely affect our profitability. We are evaluating these rules and regulations and cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Following the closing of the business combination, we expect PubCo to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq rules and, as a result, qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

Upon completion of the business combination, Komisium will control a majority of the voting power of PubCo’s outstanding shares. As a result of its voting control, Komisium will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove directors, Komisium will indirectly effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and other matters of corporate or management policy. Under Nasdaq rules, a listed company of which more than 50.0% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by any person or group of persons acting together is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirement (i) that a majority of the PubCo Board consist of independent directors, as defined under the Nasdaq rules, (ii) to have a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iii) to have director nominees selected, or recommended for the PubCo Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (iv) to have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. PubCo plans to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” following the business combination. Accordingly, following the Business Combination, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Komisium may have its interest in PubCo diluted due to future equity issuances or its own actions in selling PubCo Ordinary Shares, in each case, which could result in a loss of the “controlled company” exemption under Nasdaq listing rules. We would then be required to comply with those provisions of Nasdaq listing requirements.

As a private company, Novibet has not been required to document and test its internal control over financial reporting nor has its management been required to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls and its auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we have not instituted a system of internal controls that covers the consolidated group of the Company and its subsidiaries. Failure to maintain adequate financial, information technology and management processes and controls could result in material weaknesses which could lead to errors in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business.

Novibet has not been required to document and test its internal controls over financial reporting, nor has its management been required to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls, and its auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. In connection with Novibet’s 2019-2021 financial audit, material weaknesses in certain internal controls were identified and communicated to management by its PCAOB auditor, including material weaknesses in IT, tax accounting, and the review of the correct subsidiary consolidation entries noted during the audit, since expenses were not recorded to the proper entity. In response to this communication, among other actions, Novibet engaged an independent external advisor to oversee its accounting and internal control systems and employed a full-time internal auditor to monitor and maintain the efficiency of Novibet’s internal controls. Novibet undertook these actions to assist in bringing its controls over financial reporting into accordance with Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act prior to its required compliance with SEC rules.

Similarly, as an “emerging growth company,” Artemis has so far been exempt from the SEC’s internal control reporting requirements. PubCo may lose its emerging growth company status and become subject to the SEC’s internal control over financial reporting management and auditor attestation requirements in the year in which it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which would occur once it is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for 12 months, has filed at least one SEC annual report and the market value of its common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter. We expect that PubCo will be subject to the SEC’s internal control reporting and attestation requirements with respect to its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, we expect PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm will be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of PubCo’s internal controls over financial reporting commencing with PubCo’s second annual report on Form 20-F. PubCo may not be able to complete its evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. In addition, PubCo’s current controls and any new controls that it develops may become inadequate because of poor design and changes in its business, including increased complexity resulting from additional international expansion. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect the results of assessments by its independent registered public accounting firm and their attestation reports.

If PubCo is unable to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls, or if PubCo’s internal controls have a material weakness, PubCo may not detect errors timely, its consolidated financial statements could be misstated, and it could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of confidence by stakeholders, which could harm PubCo’s business and adversely affect the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

SPECIAL MEETING OF ARTEMIS STOCKHOLDERS

General

Artemis is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to Artemis Stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the Artemis Board for use at the Special Meeting of Artemis Stockholders to be held on [                 ], 2022, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Stockholders are encouraged to access the Special Meeting prior to the start time. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting or during the meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting login page.]

Purpose of Special Meeting

At the Special Meeting, Artemis is asking holders of Artemis Common Stock to:

consider and vote upon the Business Combination Proposal; and
consider and vote upon the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

THE ARTEMIS BOARD HAS UNANIMOUSLY DETERMINED THAT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL ARE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF AND ADVISABLE TO THE ARTEMIS STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL AND THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL, IF PRESENTED.

Recommendation to Stockholders

The Artemis Board has unanimously determined that each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting is fair and in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders, and recommends that Artemis Stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote

Artemis has fixed the close of business on           , 2022, as the “record date” for determining Artemis Stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 20,125,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock and 5,031,250 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Artemis Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share at the Special Meeting.

Quorum

The presence, virtually or by proxy, of a majority of all the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, the presence by virtual attendance or by proxy of 12,578,126 shares of Artemis Common Stock is required to achieve a quorum. Abstentions will count as present for purposes for establishing a quorum; Broker Non-Votes will not.

Vote Required

The Business Combination Proposal

Artemis Stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and thereby approve the Business Combination. You should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination. In particular, your attention is directed to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement and the amendment thereto are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock as of the record date, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will count as votes “against” the Business Combination Proposal because an absolute percentage of affirmative votes is required to approve the proposal, regardless of how many votes are cast, and abstentions and Broker Non-Votes are not an affirmative vote.

The Business Combination cannot be completed unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved by Artemis Stockholders.

THE ARTEMIS BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

The Adjournment Proposal

Artemis Stockholders may be asked to vote on a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, or any postponement thereof, to another time or place if determined necessary by Artemis to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt the Business Combination Proposal or to provide additional time for Artemis to continue to attempt to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the Business Combination.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Artemis Common Stock that are voted at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal because abstentions and Broker Non-Votes are not votes cast.

THE ARTEMIS BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL, IF PRESENTED.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of Artemis Common Stock that you own entitles you to one vote. If your shares of Artemis Common Stock are owned directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are considered a “non-record (beneficial) stockholder.”

Record Holders

If you are a holder of record, your proxy card shows the number of shares of Artemis Common Stock that you own. You may use the enclosed proxy card to tell the persons named as proxies how to vote your shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all shares at the meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not mark your card to tell the proxies how to vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” both proposals.

You will also be able to attend the Special Meeting and vote virtually. If you desire to vote during the meeting, please follow the instructions for attending and voting during the Special Meeting posted at www.                 .

Beneficial Owners

If your shares of Artemis Common Stock are held in an account through a broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement/prospectus. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions as to how to vote your shares of Artemis Common Stock, so you should carefully read the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary.

If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary will not be able to vote your shares on those matters for which specific authorization is required. Brokers do not generally have discretionary authority to vote on the Business Combination Proposal or Adjournment Proposal.

Because brokers, banks and other nominees or intermediaries do not generally have discretionary voting with respect to the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus, if a beneficial owner of Artemis Common Stock held in “street name” does not give voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee for any proposal, then those shares will not be present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner and wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote virtually, you must get a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Artemis can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are an Artemis Stockholder of record and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

you may send another proxy card with a later date;
you may notify Artemis’s secretary, in writing, before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy;
you may attend the Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote virtually, as indicated above.

If you are a beneficial owner, you should follow the instructions of your bank, broker, or other nominee regarding the revocation of proxies.

Certain Voting Arrangements

In connection with our initial public offering, our Sponsor entered into a letter agreement to vote its shares of Sponsor Shares, and well as any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor during or after Artemis’s initial public offering, in favor of Artemis’s initial business combination. Further, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to vote all voting equity securities owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, Business Combination, and all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor owns approximately 13.6% of the total outstanding Artemis Common Stock. Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by the Sponsor, Artemis would need 9,165,310 Public Shares, or approximately 45.5% of the 20,125,000 shares sold in Artemis’s initial public offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved. Moreover, the Artemis Anchor Investors own approximately 9.5 million Public Shares based on the latest available public filings. Although the Artemis Anchor Investors are not required to hold their Artemis Units or Public Shares for any amount of time, or to vote or not redeem their Public Shares, if the Artemis Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Artemis Charter, a holder of Public Shares may demand that Artemis redeem such shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. If you are a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares regardless of whether you vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or do not vote at all, and regardless of whether you held your Public Shares on the record date.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares through units and you elect to separate your Artemis Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
prior to [time], Eastern time, on [], 2022 (two business days prior to the scheduled date of the Special Meeting), (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to the transfer agent that Artemis redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your Public Shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such Artemis Public Stockholder or any other person with whom such Artemis Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if an Artemis Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

If you hold Public Shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming Artemis Public Stockholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their Public Shares.

Holders of Artemis Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Artemis Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Artemis Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem.

For illustrative purposes, the cash held in the Trust Account on [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, was $[] or $[] per Public Share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, Artemis Public Stockholders should verify the market price of Artemis Class A Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Artemis Class A Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Artemis cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their Artemis Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Artemis securities when stockholders wish to sell their shares. If an Artemis Public Stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is [time], Eastern time, two business days prior to the scheduled date of the Special Meeting, and, thereafter, with Artemis’s consent, until the Closing. If a holder of a Public Share delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to

114

Table of Contents

exercise such rights, it may simply request that Artemis instruct the transfer agent to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If the Business Combination is not completed, then Artemis Public Stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, Artemis will promptly return any shares delivered by holders of Public Shares for redemption.

Holders of Artemis Warrants and Artemis Units will not have redemption rights with respect to such securities.

Appraisal Rights

None of the Artemis Stockholders, Artemis Unit holders or Artemis Warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection the Business Combination under the DGCL.

Potential Purchases of Shares and/or Public Warrants

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Artemis or its securities, the Sponsor, Novibet or the equity holders of Artemis and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or who redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, their Public Shares, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Artemis Common Stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates would be purchased at a price no higher than the redemption price for the Artemis Public Shares, which is currently estimated to be $10.20 per share. Any Public Shares so purchased would not be voted by the Sponsor or its affiliates at the Special Meeting and would not be redeemable by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of Redemptions. In the event that the Sponsor, Artemis’s directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Artemis Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. While the nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including, subject to the Investors Agreement, the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

Other Business

Artemis is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting, the proxies will have discretion to vote or act on those matters according to their best judgment and they intend to vote the shares as the Artemis Board may recommend.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Artemis is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Artemis and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Artemis will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Artemis has hired [] to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Artemis will pay a fee of $[], plus disbursements, to [] for such services.

Artemis will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Artemis will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

General

Holders of Artemis Common Stock are being asked to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination. Artemis Stockholders should read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement and the amendment thereto are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, respectively. Please see the section entitled “— The Business Combination Agreement” below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement

Overview of Business Combination

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Artemis Class B Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock subject to the terms of the Existing Artemis Charter and the Sponsor Support Agreement. At the Effective Time, the Merger will occur, whereby (a) each issued and outstanding share of Artemis Class A Common Stock (including the Artemis Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Artemis Class B Common Stock, but not including shares redeemed by the Artemis Public Stockholders and certain other excluded Artemis shares) shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share and (b) each outstanding whole Artemis Warrant will be assumed by PubCo and will be thereafter exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement for one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with the exercise period beginning thirty (30) days after the Closing.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth therein, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo, in consideration for the Closing Cash Consideration, the Closing Share Consideration (including the right of Komisium to retain the PubCo Ordinary Shares to which the Initial Share Premium relates), and, if the earnout conditions are met, the Earnout Consideration.

(1)Represents the shares acquired by Komisium in PubCo in exchange for shares of Novibet in the Share Exchange, after taking into account the Initial Share Premium, the Closing Cash Consideration, and the Additional Closing Share Consideration. In the No Redemptions Scenario, assumes an aggregate of $50.0 million of Closing Cash Consideration. In the 50% Redemptions Scenario, assumes an aggregate of approximately $2.6 million of Closing Cash Consideration. In the 100% Redemptions Scenario, assumes no Closing Cash Consideration plus the Additional Closing Share Consideration.
(2)Represents 3,412,816 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor.
(3)Represents 1,618,434 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock held by the Artemis Anchor Investors. Does not include Public Shares held by the Artemis Anchor Investors, as such shares are redeemable and are not subject to voting or transfer restrictions.
(4)This scenario assumes that 10,062,500 Public Shares, or 50% of the Public Shares, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $102.6 million from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur.
(5)This scenario assumes that all 20,125,000 Public Shares, or 100% of the Public Shares, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $205.3 million from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur.
(6)Share ownership and voting power presented under each redemptions scenario in the table above are only presented for illustrative purposes. Artemis cannot predict how many Artemis Public Stockholders will exercise their right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above. As such, the ownership percentages of current Artemis Stockholders may also differ from the presentation above if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination — The ability of the Artemis Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of the Public Shares may not allow Artemis to complete the Business Combination, have sufficient cash available to fund PubCo’s business or optimize the capital structure of PubCo.”
(7)This table does not include earnout shares and warrants and assumes the Sponsor does not use any of its Class B Common Stock to incentivize non-redemptions.
(8)The 100% Redemption scenario assumes that Komisium will waive the Minimum Closing Cash Condition.
(9)Represents existing shares held by Komisium in PubCo that will not be redeemed at the closing.

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned: (i) by mutual written agreement of Artemis and Novibet; (ii) by either Artemis or Novibet if the Business Combination is not consummated by December 30, 2022, provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate if their action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or principally resulted in the failure of the transactions to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) by either Artemis or Novibet if a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination, which order or other action is final and nonappealable; (iv) by either Novibet or Artemis if the approval of the Business Combination by Artemis Stockholders has not been obtained; (v) by Novibet following a modification in the recommendation of the Artemis Board; (vi) by Novibet if the anticipated Net Closing Proceeds of Artemis are less than $12,500,000, and (vii) by Novibet or Artemis if the other party has an uncured breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and, in the case of Artemis only, the Sponsor Support Agreement, that would result in a failure of the satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions and, in the case of Artemis only, the Sponsor Support Agreement. No party will have any liability after the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, except for intentional fraud or a material and willful breach. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “— The Business Combination Agreement” for more information.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Business Combination Agreement is governed by Delaware law. Any action based upon, arising out of or related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Business Combination will be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to any federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party has waived its rights to trial by jury in any action based upon, arising out of or related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Business Combination.

Background of the Business Combination

The Business Combination was the result of a broad search for a potential transaction using the network and investing and operating experience of the Artemis management team and the Artemis Board. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement were the result of extensive negotiations between Artemis and Komisium. The following is a brief description of the background to the Business Combination and related transactions.

Artemis is a blank check company incorporated on January 4, 2021, as a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On October 4, 2021, Artemis completed its initial public offering of 20,125,000 Artemis Units, including the issuance of 2,625,000 Artemis Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $201,250,000 before transaction costs (including deferred underwriting commissions of an aggregate of approximately $7,043,750 which, prior to the resignation of Barclays and BMO, was to be paid to the underwriters of the IPO upon the completion of Artemis’s initial business combination as described below, but has been waived following their resignations). Each Artemis unit consists of one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock and one-half of one Artemis Warrant. Each whole Artemis Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, Artemis completed the private sale of an aggregate of 10,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, 8,000,000 of which were purchased by the Sponsor and 2,000,000 of which were purchased by certain Artemis Anchor Investors. At the closing of the initial public offering and the private sale of the Private Placement Warrants, Artemis placed a total of $205,275,000 into the Trust Account, or approximately $10.20 per Public Share.

In connection with Artemis’s initial public offering, Barclays and BMO acted as the representatives of the several underwriters. An aggregate amount of approximately $7,043,750 was to be paid as deferred underwriting commissions from the Trust Account. Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned from its role as financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis and waived its entitlement to all fees, including its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions. Effective as of July 20, 2022, BMO waived its

entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO. Prior to the consummation of its initial public offering, neither Artemis nor its representatives contacted any prospective business combination targets.

Following the closing of its initial public offering, Artemis’s officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in an initial business combination. During this process, Artemis considered approximately forty potential target businesses (including Novibet) with contemplated valuations ranging from approximately $300 million to approximately $6 billion, consistent with its strategy to identify companies in experiential entertainment with disruptive technology. Representatives of Artemis contacted or were contacted by numerous third parties, including financial advisors, who presented ideas for business combination opportunities with respect to companies in the gaming, entertainment, sports and technology sectors. Some of the potential target businesses were based in the United States but a majority of these potential target businesses had strong international operations with plans to expand or enter into North America. Barclays assisted in the general identification, selection and evaluation of these potential targets. Barclays was subsequently engaged by Artemis as its exclusive financial and capital markets advisor, formalized by an engagement letter, dated as of March 8, 2022, pursuant to which Barclays would receive an additional advisory fee of $3,000,000 contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination or an alternate initial business combination that closes within 12 months of the termination of Barclays’ services under the engagement letter. As additional consideration for the services to be provided by Barclays, Artemis agreed that Barclays would have the right to arrange or lead certain financings of Artemis for a period of 12 months following Closing or, in the event that Artemis is not the surviving entity of its initial business combination (which is the case in the proposed Business Combination with Novibet), to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the surviving entity to provide Barclays with such right. Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned and withdrew from its role as financial and capital markets advisor and waived its entitlement to any fees and tail rights under the engagement letter.

In the process that led to identifying Novibet as an attractive investment opportunity, Artemis entered into non-disclosure agreements with approximately twenty (20) such potential business combination targets. Upon preliminary review of information provided, Artemis ruled out ten of these potential target businesses as such businesses did not comport with the investment criteria laid out in Artemis’s IPO prospectus.

From mid-October 2021 through December 2021, Artemis held subsequent discussions with the remaining potential target businesses to evaluate their suitability. These efforts included multiple meetings with (i) a potential target in the online business to business gambling (“iGaming”) industry contemplating a transaction value in the $500 million range (“Target A”); (ii) another potential target in the iGaming industry contemplating a transaction value in the $3 billion range (“Target B”); and (iii) a potential target in the sports media and betting industry (“Target C”) contemplating a transaction value in the $700 million range. In the case of Target A and Target C, Artemis received access to a virtual data room in order to conduct preliminary diligence. In the case of Target B, Artemis provided an initial term sheet. None of these discussions, however, progressed to signed letters of intent due to various factors, including disagreement on valuation or lack of alignment on timing or process.

On November 5, 2021, representatives from Oakvale Capital LLP (“Oakvale”), in its capacity as financial advisor to Novibet, contacted Artemis management via email about potential interest of Novibet in a business combination transaction with a SPAC. Oakvale and Artemis management discussed the potential merits of a potential transaction and Novibet’s desire to enter the North American online gaming market. Following further discussion, on November 9, 2021, the Artemis management team indicated to Oakvale an interest in exploring a potential business combination between Novibet and Artemis.

On November 10, 2021, Artemis executed a non-disclosure agreement with Komisium regarding a potential transaction with Novibet (the “NDA”).

On November 15, 2021, the Artemis management team, including Holly Gagnon, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Philip Kaplan, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Granite, Chief Financial Officer, and Scott Shulak, Senior Vice President, held an introductory videoconference and engaged in discussions with Novibet’s senior management and Komisium. During the meeting, the Artemis team outlined their investment thesis and their general goals related to the identification of a suitable target for an initial business combination. Novibet’s management then described the history of Novibet, including its formation, key operations and performance, and business outlook, including why they believed a de-SPAC transaction would be conducive to Novibet’s expansion plans in new markets such as North America. Towards the end of the meeting, the parties discussed a general timeline for a potential transaction as well as the due diligence process in the event that the parties decided to pursue a potential transaction.

On November 19, 2021, certain senior executives of Novibet gave a virtual management presentation to the Artemis management team and Anna Massion, a member of Artemis’s Board with expertise in the online gaming sector. During the presentation, the Novibet executives presented preliminary financial projections to the Artemis management team and other business information. The preliminary financial projections included revenue and EBITDA metrics for 2021 and 2022. The Artemis management team requested to see product demonstrations in an effort to better understand Novibet’s underlying technology and customer experience. In addition, Novibet began providing preliminary information to Artemis regarding its subsidiaries and their collective business operations, including access to a virtual data room maintained by Novibet (the “Data Room”).

Between November 20, 2021, and December 3, 2021, representatives of Artemis and Novibet discussed the mutual interest among the parties in further exploring a potential transaction. Representatives from Oakvale participated in these discussions and related email correspondence on behalf of Novibet. Following these discussions, the management of Artemis concluded that an indication of interest and term sheet would be drafted pending the outcome of the product demonstrations.

In parallel with these discussions with Novibet, Artemis continued to perform preliminary diligence on Target A, Target B and Target C and other potential targets.

On December 6 and 7, 2021, the Artemis management team, along with Anna Massion and Leonard Wanger, members of the Artemis Board with expertise in technology applications, and senior executives of Novibet held virtual meetings in which Novibet presented detailed product demonstrations of its sportsbook and casino offerings as part of the Artemis diligence process.

On December 7, 2021, Artemis delivered via email a letter outlining a desire to explore a potential business combination and included an initial term sheet (the “Initial Term Sheet”) for Novibet to consider. The Initial Term Sheet proposed, among other items, a $600-$650 million valuation, a potential single-tranche earnout of shares worth up to $50 million payable to Komisium if Novibet’s 2022 net revenue exceeded $200 million, a minimum cash condition of $50 million, a proposed private placement in public equity (“PIPE”) of $50 million and a twelve-month lock-up on the PubCo Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and Komisium following the consummation of the potential business combination, subject to early release if the stock price of the PubCo’s shares reached $12.00 per share for 20 out of 30 trading days following the closing. Given the potential rapid growth trajectory of Novibet, the earnout was agreed to bridge any potential valuation gap between (a) Novibet’s enterprise value of approximately $600 million, which was derived from its projected 2022 revenue of $171 million (“Projected 2022 Net Revenue”), which was presented to Artemis during the meeting held on November 19, 2021 and subsequently delivered to Artemis as part of the December projections (as described below), and a revenue multiple of 3.5x (based on the trading multiples of DraftKings Inc. and Rush Street Interactive, Inc. at that time) and (b) the potential higher enterprise value of Novibet of approximately $650 million, which was derived from (i) the street consensus of the average 2025 trading multiple of DraftKings Inc. and Rush Street Interactive, Inc. and projected 2025 EBITDA and revenues of Novibet (discussed in more detail in the section titled “Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information Regarding Novibet”) discounted back to present value and (ii) Novibet’s internal analysis and valuation expectations. The Initial Term Sheet proposed structuring the earnout as a single tranche of shares worth up to $50 million because Artemis believed that a single tranche would be a simple and straightforward way to align Novibet’s incentives with the interest of the public shareholders.

On December 10, 2021, Oakvale, on behalf of Novibet, delivered to Artemis via email comments to the Initial Term Sheet containing counterproposals on certain terms of the potential transaction, including a valuation of $650 million, a potential single tranche earn-out of up to $50 million payable to Komisium, the assumption by PubCo of up to $15 million dollars in loans from Komisium to finance market access deals (the “Assumption of Shareholder Loan”), reducing the net gaming revenue to trigger a potential earnout to Komisium to $176 million, a forfeiture of Sponsor Shares the by Sponsor, among other items.

On December 13, 2021, after discussing with Barclays, Artemis sent via email a response to Oakvale agreeing to certain proposed terms in the Initial Term Sheet including the Assumption of Shareholder Loan, an equity incentive plan, and a sixty-day exclusivity period, among other items. With respect to valuation, Artemis proposed a $625 million valuation, the mid-point of the initial valuation range proposed in the Initial Term Sheet. With respect to the earnout structure, Artemis reasserted its proposal laid out in the Initial Term Sheet. Artemis also rejected the forfeiture of shares by Sponsor.

On December 14, 2021, Artemis coordinated with White & Case LLP, its legal counsel (“White & Case”), to begin memorializing the terms of the Initial Term Sheet, as modified as noted immediately above, in a final Indication of Interest and Term Sheet (the “IOI”).

On December 16, 2021, representatives of Novibet sent its financial projections to the Artemis management team. The projections included Novibet’s internally derived estimated total revenue, gross profit, gross gaming revenue, net gaming revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin for the years ending 2022 through 2025.

On December 20, 2021, the Artemis management team, along with Barclays, and senior executives of Novibet held a virtual meeting in which Novibet discussed the projections. During this meeting, the parties also shared their respective perspectives on evaluating the financial prospect of Novibet, and representatives of Novibet explained the material assumptions supporting the projections, including the forecasts for each business segment.

Simultaneously with these virtual meetings and negotiation of the IOI, Artemis management received feedback and input on the potential transaction terms from members of the Artemis Board, including Anna Massion and Leonard Wanger, who participated in preliminary discussions with Novibet, and Matthew Anfinson.

On December 22, 2021, Artemis delivered an executed version of the IOI to Komisium that was countersigned by Komisium on December 27, 2022. The IOI set forth the terms of a potential business combination transaction between Artemis and Novibet (subject to continued due diligence and negotiation of definitive agreements), which reflected (i) an indicative pre-transaction value for Novibet of $625 million, of which $575 million would be paid in stock consideration and $50 million in cash consideration, (ii) a potential earnout of (a) up to $15 million payable in newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares to Komisium if the market trading price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares closes above $12.00 for 20 of 30 trading days within 365 days of the closing of the potential business combination; (b) up to $15 million payable in newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares to Komisium if the market trading price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares closes above $15.00 for 20 of 30 trading days within 545 days of the closing; and (c) up to $70 million payable in PubCo Ordinary Shares to Komisium if PubCo’s net gaming revenue for the first twelve months after the closing is greater than a to-be-agreed annualized net gaming revenue figure for the first twelve months after the closing, (iii) an anticipated PIPE investment in PubCo Ordinary Shares of between $25 million and $50 million and (iv) a closing condition requiring Artemis to deliver a minimum of $100 million of cash at the closing, including proceeds of the Trust Account and PIPE investment, net of transaction expenses. The agreed upon $625 million valuation represented approximately 3.6x the projected enterprise value for the combined company based on Projected 2022 Net Revenue and was agreed upon by the parties after taking into account trading metrics of the following publicly traded companies: DraftKings Inc., Rush Street Interactive, Inc., PointsBet Holdings Limited, Entain Inc., Flutter Entertainment plc, SGHC Limited, and 888 Holdings plc., the projections and the other terms of the transaction, including the $100 million earn-out based on incentives to grow the Novibet business. The IOI also provided that the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be held by Komisium and the Sponsor following the Closing would be subject to a twelve-month lock-up, subject to earlier release if the market trading price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares trades at $12.00 for 20 out of 30 trading days starting 150 days after Closing, with an exception permitting Komisium to transfer up to 10% of its PubCo Ordinary Shares beginning 6 months after Closing. With respect to post-closing governance, the IOI provided that PubCo’s board of directors would be comprised of five (5) members, nominated as follows: (i) so long as the Sponsor holds at least 5% of the outstanding shares of PubCo, it would have the right to nominate two (2) directors to PubCo’s board of directors, one of whom would satisfy Nasdaq board diversity requirements, and (ii) Komisium would nominate the remaining three (3) directors. The IOI stated that all terms, including the $625 million valuation, were subject to ongoing due diligence conducted by Artemis of Novibet and the parties’ negotiation of the definitive agreements relating to the proposed business combination transaction. Additionally, the parties understood that the non-binding terms of the IOI would be subject to adjustment based on market conditions and feedback from prospective PIPE investors. The IOI provided for a mutual exclusive negotiation period until February 5, 2022. Following entry into the IOI, Artemis terminated discussions with all other potential target businesses.

On December 29, 2021, the principals of Artemis and Novibet convened a call in which it was determined that bi-weekly virtual conference calls would be scheduled throughout the first quarter of 2022 in an effort to align and advance the potential business combination and PIPE process.

On December 30, 2021, Artemis management gave the Artemis Board an update via email regarding the potential transaction with Novibet generally and the estimated transaction timeline. Artemis management also informed the Artemis Board that a board meeting would be scheduled for January 27, 2022, to discuss the potential transaction in more detail.

On January 4, 2022, representatives of Novibet, Oakvale and Harris Beach, PLLC, as Novibet’s legal counsel (“Harris Beach”), held a video conference call with representatives of Artemis, Barclays and White & Case to discuss certain process matters regarding

123

Table of Contents

the preparation of the definitive transaction documents, legal due diligence, the potential PIPE investment and related work streams, including the anticipated timeline discussed by the parties in connection with the execution of the IOI.

Also on January 4, 2022, representatives of White & Case were provided with access to the Data Room and began conducting legal due diligence review of certain materials contained therein. Barclays, in its capacity as a financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis (prior to its resignation), also was provided with access to the Data Room and continued to conduct financial, business and legal due diligence on Novibet in connection with the Business Combination. Barclays’ financial and business diligence of Novibet included, among other things, a review of Novibet’s existing business and operations, a review of the financial performance of Novibet, both historical and as projected by the Novibet management, as well as a review of growth plans, financial models, financial statements and audits. Barclays’ financial diligence included a review of certain legal and regulatory matters including licensing, compliance and material contracts.

Subsequently, Artemis also engaged Wiggin LLP (“Wiggin”) to perform due diligence review of gaming regulatory and compliance matters relating to Novibet.

Between January 8, 2022 and February 15, 2022, Novibet, Oakvale, Artemis and Barclays jointly prepared an investor deck for a potential PIPE investment. During this time, Oakvale and Barclays monitored PIPE market conditions and investor sentiment.

On or about January 12, 2022, Artemis retained KPMG US LLP (“KPMG”) to conduct financial and tax due diligence on Novibet.

Also on January 12, 2022, Artemis retained Kyriakides Georgopoulos (“KG”) to serve as Greek legal counsel and conduct legal due diligence on Novibet’s Greek operations.

During the following weeks, representatives of White & Case, Barclays,Wiggin, KPMG and KG, on behalf of Artemis, submitted several rounds of follow-up due diligence questions and requests and received responses from Novibet in the form of verbal answers and supporting documentation uploaded to the Data Room.

In addition, due diligence calls were held on: (i) January 17, 2022, to discuss general legal and financial due diligence matters, including Novibet’s material contracts, organizational structure, material intellectual property and internal sanctions and export controls, among other items, (ii) January 24, 2022, to discuss Greek legal due diligence matters identified by KG including Novibet’s leases and employee arrangements, and (iii) February 2, 2022, to discuss supplemental Greek legal due diligence matters identified by KG.

On January 12, 2022, Harris Beach, on behalf of Novibet, emailed to White & Case, on behalf of Artemis, an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement, with principal terms substantially consistent with the terms of the IOI.

Between January 18, 2022 and February 22, 2022, additional diligence calls were held by White & Case, Wiggin, and KPMG with Novibet to discuss Novibet’s (i) corporate history, workforce and human relations functions, (ii) detailed business operations, financial results, marketing plans, use of data, analytics and business intelligence, (iii) rationale, strategy and plans with respect to its entry into the North American market and (iv) specific legal, regulatory and tax aspects of Novibet in each of its countries of operations.

On January 18, 2022, White & Case, on behalf of Artemis, e-mailed to Harris Beach, on behalf of Novibet, (i) an initial draft of the Sponsor Support Agreement, which provided among other things, that Sponsor would agree to vote to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and to waive the anti-dilution and conversion price adjustments set forth in the Artemis Charter with respect to Artemis Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor and (ii) an initial draft of the Investors Agreement, which provided among other things, that the PubCo Ordinary Shares held by Novibet, Sponsor and Komisium would be subject to transfer restrictions and that the directors of PubCo would be appointed based upon certain ownership thresholds. The principal terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement and Investors Agreement drafts were substantially based on the IOI.

On January 21, 2022, White & Case, on behalf of Artemis, emailed to Harris Beach, on behalf of Novibet, a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement. The revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement: (i) revised the amount of earnout shares to be issued to match the terms of the IOI; (ii) removed the concept of a Sponsor share forfeiture if a calculated “closing cash balance”

124

Table of Contents

was less than $75,000,000; (iii) revised the threshold that would trigger the Third Earnout Shares to better align with the IOI; (iv) removed $100,000,000 as the amount of the minimum cash closing condition and instead noted that the parties were to discuss the appropriate figure to be used; and (v) removed the closing of a PIPE Investment as a closing condition.

On January 24, 2022, White & Case, on behalf of Artemis, emailed to Harris Beach, on behalf of Novibet, an initial draft of the Registration Rights Agreement, which provided among other things, that the PubCo Ordinary Shares and certain other registrable securities held by Sponsor, Komisium and the other parties thereto would bear the same registration rights as contemplated by Artemis’s existing registration rights agreement.

On January 27, 2022, Artemis held a regularly scheduled board meeting. During the meeting, the Artemis Board reviewed a proposed draft of Artemis’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, Artemis management provided an overview of their efforts to date in finding an initial business combination target, including their process for identifying and evaluating potential business combination targets. At this meeting, Artemis management also provided additional information regarding Novibet as a potential business combination target and advised Artemis Board that detailed diligence of Novibet’s business, legal, regulatory and financial information was ongoing.

On January 31, 2022, Harris Beach, on behalf of Novibet, emailed to White & Case, on behalf of Artemis, a revised turn of the Business Combination Agreement. Over the course of the following weeks, the parties negotiated the representations and warranties, the earnout provisions, the definition of “minimum cash closing condition,” consummation of the PIPE as a closing condition, whether there would be a cash sweep to Komisium as potentially suggested by the language in the IOI which references that Novibet would be debt-free and cash-free at Closing, the Outside Date, certain termination provisions and certain other terms and conditions.

From January 31, 2022 to March 29, 2022, the parties also negotiated certain terms and conditions of the ancillary agreements and documents, including lock-up restrictions on the Sponsor, registration rights and board designation rights of the Sponsor and standstill obligations of Komisium.

On February 14, 2022, Novibet senior executives presented financial projections dated as of February 10, 2022 to the Artemis management team, along with Barclays, and discussed these projections with them on February 16, 2022. As further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information Regarding Novibet”, the February projections included a revised outlook for Novibet’s revenue growth in each of its core markets after taking into account Novibet’s contemplated exit from the U.K. market, which is further described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Recent Developments — Discontinuance of United Kingdom Operations”, and also reflected slightly higher EBITDA than the projections shared with Artemis in December 2021. The outlook for Novibet’s revenue growth in potential new markets remained unchanged from the December projections. The Artemis management team concluded that the February projections did not warrant a change in valuation or any of the material terms of the transaction.

On February 15, 2022, Artemis and Komisium executed an Exclusivity Extension Letter Agreement, which extended the mutual exclusivity period under the IOI to March 31, 2022. It was also mutually determined that the parties would no longer require a committed PIPE investment at signing given market conditions and the Company’s cash needs post transaction to execute upon its proposed business plan.

On February 15, 2022, Novibet received a letter from the Gambling Commission of Great Britain (“UKGC”) identifying alleged compliance deficiencies related to anti-money laundering and responsible gaming compliance (the “UKGC Letter”). The UKGC Letter was issued in the wake of an in-depth compliance assessment undertaken by the UKGC between January 19, 2022 and January 27, 2022. Following receipt of the UKGC Letter, Artemis’s advisors including Wiggin conducted additional due diligence, including a call with Novibet and Mishcon de Reya, Novibet’s regulatory counsel, on February 22, 2022 after the surrender of the UK License. Artemis management also engaged in additional discussions with Novibet to understand the remedial measures it was at that time already taking and which it planned to take to rectify the UKGC identified compliance shortcomings and to enhance its compliance function going forward. Notwithstanding the surrender by Novibet of the UK license on February 21, 2022 Artemis management also discussed with Novibet its commitment to create and implement a “lessons learned” action plan to ensure its responsible gaming and anti-money laundering policies and procedures are fully compliant and fit for their required purposes going forward.

On February 21, 2022, Novibet notified the UKGC that it surrendered its license with immediate effect, ending Novibet’s operations in the United Kingdom. Please see additional detail in the “Recent Developments — Discontinuance of United Kingdom Operations” and Risk Factors” sections.

The Artemis management team considered a number of factors before concluding that the termination of Novibet’s operations in the United Kingdom would not affect the assumptions underlying the February projections in any material respect or warrant a change in valuation or of any of the material terms of the transaction. These factors included (i) advice from counsel that no material regulatory liability would likely attach to Novibet in the form of a fine or other penalty from the UKGC; (ii) that Novibet’s operations in the United Kingdom were not profitable and thus a cessation of operations would not negatively impact valuation on a going forward basis; (iii) the information gleaned from multiple conversations with its advisors and Novibet, including that the projections provided by Novibet had taken into account the expenditures required by Novibet to build up its compliance function and Novibet’s belief that the UKGC Letter would not impact market rollout outside of the United Kingdom; and (iv) the planned remedial measures of Novibet described above. The Artemis management team reached this conclusion on or about February 25th, 2022.

On February 24, 2022, KPMG provided Artemis with their preliminary financial and tax due diligence findings.

On February 26, 2022, White & Case provided Artemis with their preliminary legal due diligence findings. On March 4, 2022 and March 8, 2022, Wiggin provided Artemis with their preliminary regulatory legal due diligence findings.

Beginning March 7, 2022, Artemis and Barclays contacted several existing Artemis Anchor Investors approved by Artemis and Novibet to gather feedback on the proposed Business Combination, subject to such investors agreeing to confidentiality and trading restrictions prior to announcement of the Business Combination. The feedback received from such investors was evaluated by the Artemis Board as part of its determination to approve the Business Combination. See “— Artemis Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination” for more information. Between March 10, 2022 and March 22, 2022, representatives of Artemis, Novibet, Barclays and Oakvale held virtual meetings with such investors and presented the investor presentation substantially in the form attached in Exhibit 99.2 of Artemis’s Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2022.

On March 21 and 22, 2022, Artemis management visited Novibet’s offices in Athens, Greece, where the Artemis team held in-person meetings with Novibet’s management team and employees to gain a deeper understanding of Novibet’s business and people. During the in-person visit, the Artemis management team also held a meeting with Novibet’s chief compliance officer to discuss implementation of the regulatory action plan to ensure its responsible gaming and anti-money laundering policies.

From January 4, 2022 through March 28, 2022, Artemis management provided regular updates to the Artemis Board and kept them apprised of the latest developments related to the Business Combination.

On March 28, 2022, the Artemis Board held a meeting with representatives of Barclays and White & Case in attendance. Mr. Granite reviewed with the Artemis Board the key considerations and rationales related to the proposed Business Combination. Representatives of Wiggin discussed with the Artemis Board a summary of the regulatory due diligence and development arising from the UKGC Letter. Representatives of Barclays discussed with the Artemis Board the financial considerations regarding the proposed Business Combination, focusing on Novibet’s profitability and cash flow, and the valuation of Novibet in the transaction, which was based on Novibet’s 2022 and 2025 financial projections of Novibet (as further described below under the caption “—Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information Regarding Novibet”). Representatives of White & Case gave a presentation to the Artemis Board on the directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware law, and provided an overview of legal due diligence findings and a summary of the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary agreements (copies of which were provided to all of the members of the Artemis Board in advance of the meeting). During discussions with its advisors, the Artemis Board asked, and the advisors answered, questions about the matters presented. The Artemis Board then discussed other factors, including those described below under the caption “— The Artemis Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”. Following these discussions, the Artemis Board determined that Novibet fit within Artemis’s investment strategy, as it is a company that provides transformative technology in the gaming industry, which is consistent with the criteria set forth in Artemis’s IPO prospectus. The Artemis Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination is fair to and in the best interest of Artemis and its stockholders, determined that the valuation of Novibet in the Business Combination exceeds 80% of the value of Artemis’s Trust Account as of March 30, 2022, approved the Business Combination Agreement and recommended that Artemis Stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal and, if applicable, the Adjournment Proposal.

From March 21, 2022 to March 29, 2022, final terms of the Business Combination Agreement and other Transaction Agreements were discussed and negotiated.

On March 30, 2022, Novibet, Komisium, PubCo, Artemis and the Merger Sub executed the Business Combination Agreement. Concurrent with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the applicable parties executed the Sponsor Support Agreement and Investors Agreement.

On March 30, 2022, Artemis and Novibet issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K along with an investor presentation prepared by members of Artemis’s and Novibet’s management teams and used in connection with meetings with certain Artemis Anchor Investors, the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Investors Agreement, the form of Warrant Agreement and the form of Registration Rights Agreement.

On July 14, 2022, Barclays delivered to Artemis a notice of resignation of its roles as financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis in connection with the Business Combination and waived all rights to fees (including deferred underwriting commissions) and reimbursement of expenses in connection with the Business Combination. On July 20, 2022, BMO, one of the underwriters in the IPO, delivered to Artemis a notice that BMO waived all rights to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO. BMO had no role in connection with the Business Combination.

In their respective termination letters, neither Barclays nor BMO gave Artemis any reasons for their resignations and waiver of their fees. As is customary, certain provisions of the Engagement Letter and Underwriting Agreement survived Barclays and BMO’s respective resignations, as applicable. These provisions include Artemis’ obligation to indemnify Barclays and BMO, and each of their respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and other representatives against any losses or claims arising out of or in connection with services or matters relating to their engagement.

As financial advisor to Artemis, Barclays assisted Artemis management by providing industry and market data, comparable company analysis and other information, using the estimates, assumptions, and input provided by, and at the direction of, Artemis management. Barclays did not prepare a fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination. Novibet management, not Barclays, was responsible for the Novibet Forecasts (as defined below). Neither Artemis nor Novibet believes that Barclays and BMO’s resignations will impact the consummation of the Business Combination, other than by reducing the aggregate fees payable at Closing. Barclays and BMO’s resignation did not impact the Artemis Board’s analysis of or continued support of the Business Combination.

On July 20, 2022, White & Case, on behalf of Artemis, emailed to Harris Beach, on behalf of Novibet, an initial draft amendment to the Business Combination Agreement to reflect a change in the nominal amount per share of the PubCo Ordinary Shares from $0.0001 to $1.00 and a technical adjustment to the Closing Share Consideration to be issued to Komisium in the Share Exchange to account for the Initial Share Premium attributable to the 65,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares held by Komisium prior to the Business Combination.

Throughout the second quarter of 2022, Artemis and Novibet observed and discussed changes in market conditions, the uncertainties in the global economy, and the impact on the valuation of Novibet and the earnout structure. Since the preparation of the Novibet Forecasts on February 10, 2022, the general business environment in which Novibet operates has continued to change and experience volatility, driven by, among other factors, inflation, tightening monetary policy, and global supply chain disruptions, partially caused by the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and by ongoing geopolitical developments across the world. In July 2022, Novibet informed Artemis that it believes these factors will have a negative impact on its 2023 and 2024 financial results and, as a result, its 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts are no longer accurate and should not be relied upon as indicative of its belief regarding future performance for those years. Artemis engaged in confidential discussions with various investors, bankers and market participants to understand the volatility and valuation changes in the equity markets. In light of these discussions, Artemis approached Oakvale and Novibet to discuss a potential change in valuation.

On or about August 4, 2022, Novibet engaged in more detailed discussions with Artemis regarding decreasing Novibet’s stated closing share value from $625,000,000 to $500,000,000 as a means to mitigate the effect of the current macro-economic conditions, improve shareholder value following the Closing, improve the likelihood that the Artemis Stockholders will approve the proposed

Business Combination, and reduce the number of redemptions of Artemis Public Shares. The parties also discussed changes needed to deliver to Komisium the benefit of the net profits that Novibet achieved prior to the Closing.

The parties agreed that in the event that redemptions of Artemis Public Shares equal or exceed 85% of the total Public Shares outstanding prior to Closing, Komisium will be issued an additional 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares as consideration at Closing, to bring Komisium’s total closing share value back to $625,000,000. If redemptions are less than 85%, as a result of the change in valuation, Komisium will not be issued any additional PubCo Ordinary Shares at Closing and Artemis Stockholders’ initial ownership stake in PubCo correspondingly will increase. These shares instead would be deferred and issued upon PubCo meeting certain net gaming revenue targets in the years 2023 and/or 2024. The parties also agreed to change the earnout from a single tranche of earnout shares to dual tranches issuable upon the applicable target(s) being met. The parties agreed that both earnout tranches be payable upon meeting specified revenue targets. The proposed new earnout structure would address any perceived valuation gap between the parties based on uncertainties in the market and its potential impact on Novibet’s short-term financial performance and align Novibet’s incentives more closely with shareholders generally. Moreover, the parties also agreed to amend the minimum cash condition to require $12,500,000 in net cash remaining in the Trust Account after payment of transaction expenses, rather than $50,000,000 of gross cash before transaction expenses. Finally, the parties agreed that Novibet should be permitted to pay the dividend declared to Sendross Ltd, the former owner of Novibet, and novated to Komisium as part of Novibet’s February 2021 reorganization (the “Sendross Dividend”) and that PubCo should pay an amount of cash to Komisium after the closing that represents the amount of net profits generated by Novibet between signing and closing (the “Shareholder Payment”). Komisium agreed that in order to improve the liquidity position of PubCo after the Closing, if, after making the Shareholder Payment, PubCo would have an amount of cash less than the sum of (i) $3,000,000 plus (ii) the Net Closing Proceeds (such amount of cash, the “Minimum Liquidity”), that PubCo would only pay to Komisium such portion of the Shareholder Payment so that PubCo would maintain its Minimum Liquidity immediately following such payment, with the remainder of the Shareholder Payment to be paid to Komisium in exchange for a lump sum non-interest bearing note with a maturity date as of the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Shareholder Loan”). Komisium also agreed that, if necessary to increase the working capital of PubCo after the Closing, it would increase the principal amount of the Shareholder Loan or provide another Shareholder Loan for a portion or all of the remaining amount distributable to Komisium for the balance of the Shareholder Payment and/or Sendross Dividend.

Also, during July and August, 2022, Artemis and Novibet discussed the market dynamics around the redemption levels seen in recent SPAC business combinations. To address such concern, the parties agreed that if Artemis, PubCo, and SPAC agree, the Sponsor may forfeit or transfer a portion of the Founder Shares to incentivize such investors to acquire Public Shares and not redeem them.

Additionally, in order to improve public float of the PubCo Ordinary Shares following Closing, the parties agreed to allow Komisium to transfer a portion of the PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Closing as long as all these transfers do not exceed 30% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued as Closing Share Consideraiton and Additional Closing Share Consideration (if any). Corresponding changes were made to the form of Investors Agreement which will be entered into at the Closing.

On August 26, 2022, the Artemis management explained the material terms of the proposed amendment to the Business Combination Agreement and the key considerations and rationales related to such amendment via email. The Artemis Board unanimously approved the amendment to the Business Combination Agreement via email on August 26.

On September 2, 2022, Komisium, Novibet, PubCo, Merger Sub and Artemis entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, which among other things provided for (i) a closing share valuation of $500,000,000, with 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable to Komisium at Closing if redemptions equal or exceed 85%, or if redemptions are less than 85%, then such PubCo Ordinary Shares would be deferred and issuable in subsequent years if certain earnout targets are met, (ii) a dual tranche earnout based on the achievement of certain net gaming revenue targets, (iii) clauses permitting Komisium to transfer up to 30% of the issued PubCo Ordinary Shares after the Closing, (iv) the payment of an amount of dividend declared prior to March 30, 2022 to Komisium up to the amount of €3,579,625, (v) the payment of the net profits generated by Novibet between signing and closing to Komisium, and (vi) a minimum cash closing condition of $12.5 million after transaction expenses and redemptions.

The Artemis Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

In reaching its unanimous resolutions (i) that the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair, advisable and in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders, (ii) approving the Business

128

Table of Contents

Combination, the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) recommending the approval and adoption by Artemis’s stockholders of each of the proposals that will be presented to Artemis’s stockholders at the Special Meeting, including the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iv) directing that the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby be submitted for consideration by Artemis’s stockholders; the Artemis Board considered and evaluated a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Artemis Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. The Artemis Board cautions investors that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as disclosed below. This explanation of the Artemis Board’s reasons for approving the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section are forward-looking in nature and therefore should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements.” Prior to reaching the decision to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, the Artemis Board consulted with Artemis’s management, as well as its external advisors.

In addition, before reaching the above resolutions, the Artemis Board reviewed various industry and financial data, including, but not limited to, Novibet’s existing business model and historical and projected financials, and reviewed the results of Artemis’s advisors’ due diligence review of Novibet, which included:

Research on the online gaming and entertainment industry in which Novibet operates;
Extensive meetings with Novibet’s management team and its advisors to understand and analyze Novibet’s operations and financial prospects, including a visit to Novibet’s offices in Athens, Greece by members of Artemis’s management;
Legal and commercial due diligence of Novibet’s material business contracts, books and records, regulatory compliance, intellectual property and information technology;
Financial projections of Novibet, focusing primarily on the 2022E and 2025E financial information, which the Artemis Board believed supported the valuation of Novibet in the Business Combination. The financial projections of Novibet that were relied upon by the Artemis Board are described in the section titled “Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information Regarding Novibet”;
Financial and market information prepared by Artemis’s financial and capital markets advisor;
Financial, tax, and accounting due diligence;
Regulatory and gaming commission due diligence; and
Review of Novibet’s historical audited and unaudited financial statements.

In the prospectus for its initial public offering, Artemis identified the following general criteria and guidelines that it believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses:

Focus: Artemis’s management has extensive experience in the gaming, hospitality and entertainment industries and focused their search for a potential business combination target on companies that provide transformative technology to experiential entertainment within such industries in segments such as casino gaming, sports, sports betting and iGaming, gaming technology and equipment, lodging, social and casual mobile games, restaurants and wellness, live entertainment and leisure.
Strong, Committed and Motivated Management Team: Artemis sought companies with professional management teams that have a proven track record of driving growth and creating long-term value for stockholders.

129

Table of Contents

Benefit from Artemis’s Extensive and Diverse Operational Expertise: Artemis focused its search on companies for which the skills of Artemis’s management team and the Artemis Board can accelerate the growth position and financial performance of the target.
Highly Defensible Business Models with a Sustainable Competitive Advantage: Artemis sought companies that have defensible proprietary technology and intellectual property rights that are differentiated and superior to the industry standard, as Artemis believes these criteria will provide sustained and growing market share and leverage the target company’s ability to grow faster than the broader industry.
Transformative Business with Strong Runway for Growth: Artemis sought companies that create strong value for their customers by improving customer experience, including utilizing technology to enhance convenience, speed, personalization, frictionless transactions or other similar factors that seek to take advantage of liberalizing regulations and the shift from land-based to mobile entertainment.
Dislocated Valuations or Underperforming Peak Operations within Fundamentally Strong Sectors and Businesses: Artemis sought companies that possess fundamentally sound long-term business plans, particularly in the location-based experiential entertainment sector that had been temporarily disrupted due to COVID-19.
Appropriate Valuations Relative to Long Term Potential: As a value-centric investor, Artemis focused on the intrinsic value of a potential business combination by evaluating future cash flow potential, relative industry valuation metrics and precedent transactions, among other items, with the intention of finding a business combination target with an attractive price relative to such intrinsic value.
Benefit from Being Public and Seek Opportunities for Add-on Strategic Acquisitions to Further Grow Stockholder Value:  Artemis focused its search on companies with management and stakeholders who aspire to have their company become a public entity and generate substantial growth. Artemis also planned to utilize the Sponsor’s extensive networks to source and execute additional opportunities to help the business combination target grow through acquisitions, if appropriate or beneficial.

These criteria and guidelines were not intended to be exhaustive. Artemis stated in its IPO prospectus that any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination would be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that Artemis’s management may deem relevant.

The Artemis Board considered a number of factors when making its determination that the Business Combination is consistent with the investment criteria and guidelines listed above and in making its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

High Growth Global Industry: Online gaming has thrived in recent years. Based on third-party data and industry reports by H2 Gambling Capital, a provider of industry analytics and market research, the global online gambling market reached an approximate value of $64.3 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach approximately $121.1 billion by 2026. The Artemis Board believes that Novibet has the necessary experience, relationships and agreements, and technology infrastructure in place to capitalize on this boom in online gaming.
Large Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) with Significant Growth Opportunity: The Artemis Board expects the online casino and sports betting markets to grow rapidly both in the United States and internationally as a result of industry patterns, such as a worldwide trend towards legalization of betting and gaming, deeper mobile penetration and growth in variety of content. H2 Gambling Capital reports that the expected total addressable market of iGaming and sports betting excluding iLotteries in 2026 will be $37 billion in North America, $4 billion in Latin America, and $29 billion in Europe. Given Novibet’s track record in profitably operating in existing markets, the Artemis Board believes Novibet is well positioned to capture significant TAM in additional sports betting jurisdictions, including the United States, Canada and Mexico, and to further expand its already established brands in existing markets in Europe and Latin America.

Table of Contents

Diversified Revenue Mix Driven by Deep Relationships with Gaming Suppliers: The Artemis Board believes that Novibet has a diversified revenue mix and is well suited to capture different parts of the value chain in the digital casino and sports betting industries. Novibet has secured direct deals with the largest suppliers of games and content, including over 5,000 video slots, over 180 progressive jackpot games and over 220 live table games. Novibet’s sportsbook features more than 20 different sports and offers over 25,000 different live sporting events per month, representing a critical mass of sporting events. The Artemis Board believes Novibet has forged strong relationships with suppliers across the online gaming ecosystem, leading to an expansive online portfolio.
Historical Financial Performance: Between 2018 and 2021, Novibet realized a 107% compound annual growth rate of GGR. Year-over-year growth of active customers increased 151% from June 2020 to June 2021 on the back of a 128% increase from June 2019 to June 2020 and a 129% increase from June 2018 to June 2019. The Artemis Board believes that Novibet has demonstrated an ability to generate profitable, self-funded growth given its track record in existing markets and historical ability to iteratively improve performance in existing markets.
Scaled Cost Structure with High Operating Leverage: The Artemis Board believes that Novibet benefits from significant economies of scale driven by highly scalable vertically integrated technology and software, which allows Novibet to excel across numerous metrics as compared to peer companies, including larger, better capitalized market incumbents.
Market-Leading Software and Technology:  Novibet possesses a self-developed proprietary technology. Artemis and its advisors performed a technical review of Novibet’s software platform and believes Novibet’s systems and platform can be scaled up to support ongoing sustained growth in customers, regions, game offerings, sports event coverage and betting volume.
Experienced and Motivated Management Team:  The Artemis Board believes that Novibet is led by an experienced management team with a depth of experience and strong track record of success. Novibet’s CEO, George Athanasopoulos, has over 16 years of internet gaming experience and the management team as a whole has extensive experience in the global sports, wagering and sports betting sectors. Having led the business to growth as the regulatory landscape matured in Europe over the past decade, the Artemis Board believes Novibet’s management is well positioned to capitalize on developing markets around the globe.
Opportunities for Growth by Roll-up Acquisitions: The Artemis Board believes that Novibet is well positioned to consolidate a number of smaller players across various global geographies in an accretive manner, relying on Novibet’s management’s expertise and the Sponsor’s extensive networks in the gaming and entertainment space to source proprietary opportunities.
Anchor Investor Feedback: The Artemis Board considered the fact that, following the agreement on principal terms of the Transaction, the feedback gathered from Artemis’s management from several of Artemis’ anchor investors indicates support by such investors for the Transaction based on the contemplated valuation and other terms and conditions thereof.
Other Alternatives:  The Artemis Board believes, after an extensive review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Artemis, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential initial business combination for Artemis in light of the valuation of the other targets, the competitive nature of the processes for the other targets, the estimated speed of executing a business combination and how the potential targets fit with Artemis’s investment criteria and guidelines, in each case, relative to Novibet.
Terms of the Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements:  The Artemis Board reviewed the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements and determined that they were the product of arm’s-length negotiations among the parties.

The Artemis Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the factors listed below and the risks described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.” The factors listed below are not weighted or in any order of significance.

The Potential Loss of the Novibet Brand: The Artemis Board considered the fact that Novibet’s business depends on the strength of the Novibet brand. If Novibet is unable to maintain and enhance the Novibet brand and reputation, including as a result of unfavorable publicity regarding Novibet, online gaming or sports betting, the size, demographics and engagement of Novibet’s customers and the demand for Novibet’s products may decline.
Competition: Novibet’s business is rapidly evolving and Novibet competes against a variety of companies, including long-standing players in the casino and sports betting industries and new entrants challenging Novibet’s position.
Regulatory Risk: The realization of Novibet’s business and financial projections depends on successful penetration of Novibet in new jurisdictions by obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and licenses in such jurisdictions. Any delays in obtaining or difficulty in maintaining such regulatory approvals and licenses may negatively affect Novibet’s growth, including the growth of its customer base, or delay its ability to recognize revenue from such jurisdictions.
Compliance Risk:  The UKGC Letter indicated that the current compliance function at Novibet may present certain risks in fully complying with anti-money laundering and other regulatory requirements. Further, the receipt of the UKGC Letter and the issues identified therein could delay Novibet’s entry into new markets. However, this risk is balanced by the fact that Novibet is in the process of implementing a “lessons learned” action plan to address the alleged issues identified in the UKGC letter as these may be relevant for other jurisdictions in which Novibet operates or plans to operate. Further, the Artemis Board considered the fact that (a) based on advice from counsel, Novibet’s surrender of its gaming license to operate in the U.K. effectively eliminated or mitigated any regulatory liability in the U.K. arising from the UKGC Letter and (b) based on advice from Artemis’s management, the projections of Novibet (as described in the section of this proxy statement/ prospectus entitled “— Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information Regarding Novibet”) took into account any additional compliance expenditures that may be incurred by Novibet in implementing its “lessons learned” action plan. Based on the foregoing, Artemis Board does not believe that the development arising out of the UKGC Letter warranted any change to the valuation of Novibet. The Artemis Board also considered the broader compliance implications of the UKGC letter and Novibet’s compliance regime, particularly given Novibet’s desire to expand into new markets. In this respect, the Artemis Board considered presentations of its advisors who had conducted additional diligence on this topic as well as the advice of Artemis management who had additional discussions with Novibet regarding its compliance plans moving forward. In such discussions, Novibet stated that it did not believe that the market rollout outside of the U.K. would be materially impacted by receipt of the UKGC Letter and that following its “lessons learned” analysis, it had developed an action plan for compliance with the jurisdiction specific requirements for potential new markets. Based on the foregoing and the implementation of Novibet’s action plan for any remedial compliance issues in other jurisdictions, the Artemis Board is comfortable with the level of compliance risk connected to Novibet’s aspirations to expand into new markets.
Post-Business Combination Corporate Governance:  The Artemis Board considered that, upon completion of the Business Combination, Komisium will control approximately 64% of the voting power of PubCo. As a result of its voting control, Komisium will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove directors, Komisium will indirectly control other matters of corporate or management policy (such as potential mergers or acquisitions, payment of dividends and asset sales). The Artemis Board also considered the corporate governance provisions of the Restated Articles and the effect of those provisions on the governance of PubCo following the Closing, which are discussed in more detail in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Comparison of Corporate Governance.” However, the Artemis Board also considered the fact that the Sponsor will be entitled to designate two members of the PubCo Board as long as the Sponsor continues to own at least 5% of the voting power of the outstanding equity securities of PubCo, which would mitigate the control of Komisium.
Limitations of Review: The Artemis Board considered that it would not obtain an opinion from any independent investment banking firm that the price Artemis is paying to acquire Novibet is fair to Artemis or its stockholders from a financial point of view. In addition, there are inherent limitations in the due diligence review of Novibet conducted by Artemis’s management team and outside advisors.

132

Table of Contents

Potential Inability to Complete the Business Combination: The Artemis Board considered the possibility that the Business Combination may not be completed and the resulting potential adverse consequences to Artemis, in particular the expenditure of time and resources in pursuit of the Business Combination and the fact that the Business Combination Agreement prohibits Artemis from soliciting other initial business combination proposals while the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, which could limit Artemis’s ability to seek an alternative business combination. If the Business Combination is not completed, Artemis would have until April 4, 2023 (or such later date as provided in the Existing Artemis Charter) to complete an initial business combination.
Exercise of Redemption Rights by Public Stockholders: The Artemis Board considered the risk that some or all of the Public Stockholders would decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available to PubCo following Closing.
Litigation: The Artemis Board considered the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.
Interests of Certain Persons: Artemis’s officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of Artemis Stockholders generally. For instance, the Sponsor, and the officers and directors of Artemis who have invested in the Sponsor entity, will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Public Stockholders. See “Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for more information.
Other Risks: The Artemis Board considered various other risks associated with Novibet’s business, as described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Risk Factors.”

Artemis’s management has extensive and diverse experience in the gaming, hospitality, entertainment and technology industries. Detailed descriptions of the experience of Artemis’s executive officers are included in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Other Information Related to Artemis — Directors, Executive Officers.” As a result, the members of the Artemis Board believe they are well qualified to evaluate the Business Combination. Additionally, the Artemis Board has extensive experience in investing, investment banking and operational management, which Artemis believes made them well qualified to oversee the due diligence efforts undertaken by Artemis’s management and evaluate the merits of the Business Combination.

Overall, the Artemis Board concluded that the potential benefits of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Artemis Board determined that the Business Combination is in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value.

Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information Regarding Novibet

On February 14, 2022, Novibet provided Artemis with its internally prepared forecasts, dated as of February 10, 2022, of IFRS metrics, Net Gaming Revenue, EBITDA, and EBITDA Margin for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2025 in connection with Artemis’s evaluation of Novibet. As discussed further below, in July 2022, Novibet informed Artemis that Novibet’s 2023E and 2024E projected financial information no longer reflected Novibet’s reasonable belief as to its projected financial performance for those years. The Artemis Board did not consider the projections for the years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 to be material to its evaluation of Novibet or to its decision to approve the Business Combination. The Artemis Board relied upon the 2022E and 2025E financial forecasts, which the Artemis Board believed supported the valuation of Novibet in the Business Combination. Accordingly, presented in this proxy statement/prospectus are the Novibet forecasts of Net Gaming Revenue, EBITDA, and EBITDA Margin for the years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2025 (the “Novibet Forecasts”). The Novibet Forecasts were prepared in and speak as of February 2022 and reflect the markets in which Novibet operated and not any new markets that Novibet may enter in the future. The projections and prospective information included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any results attributable to the U.K. market, except with respect to the first two months of 2022 which include historical results prior to the discontinuance of operations in the U.K.

Novibet does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future revenues, performance, financial condition or other results. Novibet disclaims any obligation to update the Novibet Forecasts, except as required by applicable federal securities laws

133

Table of Contents

(including a registrant’s responsibility to make full and prompt disclosure as required by such federal securities laws), and does not intend to publicly release projected financial information following the closing of the Business Combination. The Novibet Forecasts were prepared by Novibet management with assistance from Oakvale and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus because they were relied upon by the Artemis Board for its evaluation of the Business Combination. The Novibet Forecasts were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information, but, in the view of Novibet management, were prepared on a reasonable basis and reflected then current information reasonably available to Novibet management with respect to the expected future financial performance of Novibet. However, the Novibet Forecasts are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments. The Novibet Forecasts are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any stockholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting or to induce any person to make an investment decision with respect to the Business Combination. The inclusion of the Novibet Forecasts in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Novibet or any other recipient of this information considered — or now considers — it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results.

The Novibet Forecasts are based on assumptions that Novibet’s management believed to be reasonable. Novibet has included summaries and discussion, including discussion of assumptions, in this proxy statement/ prospectus because they were among the financial information made available to the Artemis’s management and the Artemis Board in connection with the approval of the Business Combination and the Artemis Board’s recommendation to the Artemis Stockholders. The Novibet Forecasts are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies not within Novibet’s control. There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the Novibet Forecasts. The Novibet Forecasts cover multiple years, and such information by its nature, becomes subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year.

Since the preparation of the prospective financial information on February 10, 2022, the general business environment in which Novibet operates has continued to change and experience volatility, driven by, among other factors, inflation, tightening monetary policy, and global supply chain disruptions, partially caused by the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and by ongoing geopolitical developments across the world. These factors are causing significant disruptions to the global economy, resulting generally in reduced global economic activity and uncertainty, which has constrained consumer discretionary spending both in Europe, in which Novibet currently operates, and in North America, where Novibet is expanding its business. Novibet believes these factors will have a negative impact on its 2023 and 2024 financial results and, as a result, in July 2022, Novibet informed Artemis that its 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts are no longer accurate and should not be relied upon as indicative of its belief regarding future performance for those years. Although Novibet previously provided its 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts to the Artemis Board, such forecasts did not form the basis for the valuation of Novibet and were not material to the Artemis Board’s determination to approve the Business Combination. The 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts have not been included in this proxy statement/prospectus because Novibet believes that such forecasts are unreliable. Novibet believes, however, that the negative macro and micro economic conditions that are putting material stress on consumer discretionary spending will likely dissipate in the second half of 2024, and therefore, assuming the cessation of such negative factors occurs within such time period, Novibet believes that its 2025E financial forecast is still reasonably achievable. Please note that Novibet’s 2025E financial forecast does not take into account currency exchange rates, which could have a negative effect on the presentation of its financial results in USD. The value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar has declined 9.5% since March 30, 2022, the date the Business Combination Agreement was signed. Although Novibet’s revenue and operating costs are earned and paid in Euros, its financial forecasts are prepared in USD. Therefore, Novibet’s results of operations could be adversely impacted by further declines in the Euro to USD exchange rate, which may not reflect the performance of the core operations of its business.

As described in more detail in the section titled “—Background of the Business Combination”, the initial $625 million enterprise value of Novibet in the transaction was derived from Projected 2022 Net Revenue, the average 2025 trading multiple of DraftKings Inc. and Rush Street Interactive, Inc., and projected 2025 EBITDA and 2025 revenues of Novibet. The valuation was not derived from the 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts and the 2023E and 2024E financial forecasts were not material to the Artemis Board.

Artemis management and Novibet management are in regular contact and regularly discuss Novibet’s business, strategy, the impact of changing market conditions, and related matters. As part of these discussions, Novibet management provides updates on its efforts to capture market share in new jurisdictions, which was one of the factors the Artemis board considered important in determining to approve the Business Combination. In April 2022, Novibet informed Artemis management that it had entered into an

134

Table of Contents

agreement with Big Bola to provide access to Novibet to the online betting and gaming market in Mexico through Big Bola’s federal gaming permit. Additionally, in July 2022, Novibet shared with Artemis management that it had entered into the NJ Caesars Market Access Agreement, which permits Novibet to operate, control, and administer a branded online gaming service in the State of New Jersey for 10 years. For further detail about the Big Bola Agreement and the NJ Caesars Market Access Agreement, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/ProspectusRecent Developments – Market Access Agreements.” Artemis management considers these developments to be supportive of Novibet’s belief that its 2025E financial forecast is still reasonably achievable. As a result of these discussions, Artemis believes that, over a multi-year period, Novibet’s business will support the valuation in the Business Combination.

Novibet has not made any representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the Novibet Forecasts to anyone, including Artemis. None of Novibet or its board of directors, officers, management or any other representative of Novibet has made or makes any representation to any person regarding Novibet’s ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the Novibet Forecasts. While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the information set forth in the summary below was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Novibet’s management, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” Novibet believes the assumptions in the prospective financial information were reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, given the information Novibet had at the time. However, important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to Novibet’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information, but, in the view of Novibet’s management, was prepared on a reasonable basis based on the information available to Novibet’s management at the time of preparation and speak only as of that time. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

Neither Novibet’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

Certain of the measures included in the prospective financial information may be considered non-IFRS financial measures. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as used by Novibet may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures.” Financial measures provided to a financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of non-IFRS financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-IFRS financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-IFRS financial measure to an IFRS financial measure. Accordingly, we have not provided a reconciliation of such financial measures.

Novibet has prepared and presented the Novibet Forecasts for the core markets where it currently operates. The Novibet Forecasts do not factor in new markets that Novibet may enter in the future.

Novibet has prepared its revenue forecasts using a marketing spend based revenue model, which Novibet believes is appropriate due to its historical and intended future focus on user acquisition to grow the business. This approach reflects how Novibet anticipates the revenue of the business progressing in its core markets and is based on the following assumptions and methodologies.

First, Novibet has used historical Cost Per Acquisition (“CPA”) figures from each market where it currently operates along with conversion rates (i.e., the number of users who sign up and then make their first deposit) as well as the retention rate of users to forecast how the Novibet userbase in each market will develop over the forecasted period. The assumptions used to determine how the userbase in each territory will develop over time use historical Novibet data and input from Novibet’s operational departments.

Once the userbase per territory is projected, Novibet then allocates the total users per territory into both online casino and online sports betting based on historical data. Novibet then applies Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”) to the respective online casino and online sports betting userbase to estimate the NGR per vertical per territory. The ARPU assumption is made by applying Novibet’s latest internal historical actual data for each market and each product vertical to the internal forecasting model, which results are included in the projection values for the years 2022 to 2025. The forecasts also apply a seasonality assumption to take into account periods which have historical increases in player traffic, such as periods during which large sporting events occur.

Next, the forecasts project the bonusing amounts applied to each player by territory and by vertical based on bonusing assumptions and seasonality per country. Novibet analyzed historical bonusing data when applying bonusing assumptions across the forecasted period and assumed for purposes of the Novibet Forecasts that bonusing levels would remain fairly consistent through 2025.

Finally, Novibet’s total GGR is determined based on NGR and bonusing assumptions per product vertical and per territory, and from this its turnover is calculated using historical yearly margin percentage averages by product vertical. It is noted that margin percentages can fluctuate over the course of a calendar year and are unpredictable due to the potential for large pay-outs. Novibet has used steady rate hold percentages at the midpoint of historical margins when forecasting turnover as a function for GGR for the forecasted period.

The forecasts prepared by Novibet account for certain known regulatory changes in certain jurisdictions. For instance, in Greece, the maximum random number generator (“RNG”) spin amount is forecasted to increase from €2 per RNG spin to €10 per RNG spin starting in March 2022 as the Greek government seeks to align the local gambling market to be more in line with European averages.

When preparing the cost of sales component of the management forecasts, Novibet used the following assumptions:

License fees are based on historical data per country;
Gaming tax is based on actual current gaming tax rates per country as defined by the relevant regulatory authority; and
Third party provider fees are based on a percentage of GGR, NGR and volume of transactions, as determined by the above assumptions, and are dependent on Novibet’s specific agreements with each provider as well as the nature of the service being provided.

136

Table of Contents

Novibet’s fixed overhead costs are based on historical costs and are forecasted to increase by 1% per month relative to current costs based on current Novibet management team expectations of increases to support projected levels of growth and investment in our technology and product.

Novibet’s payroll costs are based on the number of current resources and headcount plans of each internal department at the time the forecasts were prepared and do not account for the impact of becoming a publicly listed entity pursuant to the Business Combination.

The Novibet Forecasts formed only a part of the diligence undertaken by Artemis management and the Artemis Board in connection with the approval of the Business Combination and the Artemis Board’s recommendation to the Artemis Stockholders. The Novibet Forecasts were one of several inputs in the evaluation of the Business Combination that were considered by the Artemis Board. Other inputs included Novibet’s large total addressable market and growth opportunity, its experienced management team, and the structure of the proposed Business Combination, including the pro forma ownership of Artemis Public Stockholders in PubCo at various redemption levels. In light of the number and variety of factors considered by the Artemis Board, the Artemis Board did not consider it practicable to and did not attempt to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to any of the foregoing inputs and based its decision on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Existing Artemis Charter that any business acquired by Artemis have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such initial business combination.

As of March 30, 2022, the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the balance of the funds in the Trust Account, less the taxes payable on interest earned, was approximately $205.3 million and 80% thereof represents approximately $164.2 million. Based on the financial analysis of Novibet, the Artemis Board ascribed an enterprise value of $625 million to Novibet and determined that this requirement was met.

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Artemis Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the Artemis Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering with respect to Artemis’s initial business combination, including that the Business Combination had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of execution of the Business Combination Agreement. The Artemis Board believed that the financial skills and background of its members qualified it to conclude that the acquisition of Novibet met this requirement.

As of July 20, 2022, BMO waived its entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO.

Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions

As disclosed in the prospectus for Artemis’s initial public offering dated September 29, 2021, one of Artemis’s strategic advisors was Oakvale, a boutique advisory and consulting firm. Oakvale is also a minority investor in the Sponsor, with an indirect interest in the Sponsor Shares and Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor. Oakvale has not entered into any written advisory agreement, employment, or contractual arrangements with Artemis. Oakvale does not owe any fiduciary or other obligation to Artemis and does not have any voting or decision-making rights in respect of Artemis.

Prior to Artemis and Novibet commencing discussions regarding a potential business combination, Oakvale was engaged by Novibet on or about November 12, 2021, to act as financial advisor to Novibet in connection with a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company. Once Artemis commenced discussions with Novibet in November 2021, Artemis determined that it would not seek advice or engage Oakvale for any services or advice in respect of the potential transaction with Novibet and that it would seek to engage Barclays as Artemis’s financial and capital markets advisor with respect to a transaction with Novibet. Artemis subsequently engaged Barclays to act as its financial and capital markets advisor in connection with the Business Combination.

Oakvale will receive compensation from Novibet in connection with its role as financial advisor to Novibet. Neither Oakvale nor its representatives provided any advice to Artemis in connection with the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, with respect to the valuation of Novibet or the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Oakvale is not entitled to receive any fees from Artemis in connection with the Business Combination.

Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that Artemis renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Artemis and such opportunity is one Artemis is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for Artemis to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to Artemis without violating another legal obligation. Further, Artemis’ officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled “Other Information Related to ArtemisConflicts of Interest”. We believe there were no such corporate opportunities that were not presented as a result of these provisions in the Existing Artemis Charter or the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities.

When you consider the recommendation of the Artemis Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, including Artemis’s directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to our stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

At the time of our initial public offering, our Sponsor, officers, and directors entered into the Insiders Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Sponsor Shares and any other shares of Artemis Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. Our Sponsor and our officers and directors also agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Sponsor Shares if Artemis fails to complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date. Our Sponsor, officers, and directors did not receive separate consideration for such waivers. Due to such waivers, the value of the Sponsor Shares is

138

Table of Contents

dependent on the consummation of a business combination. This may incentivize the Artemis insiders to complete a business combination on terms or conditions that are not in the best interest of the Artemis Public Stockholders.
Our Sponsor owns an aggregate of 3,412,816 Sponsor Shares, which it purchased prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Upon the Closing, such Sponsor Shares will be converted into 3,412,816 PubCo Ordinary Shares, which will represent approximately 4.93% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the No Redemptions Scenario, 5.34% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 50% Redemptions Scenario, or approximately 5.15% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares in the 100% Redemptions Scenario, in each case assuming no Earnout Consideration is issued and without taking into account potential exercises of outstanding PubCo Warrants. Based on the closing price of Artemis Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq of $[] on [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, such Sponsor Shares would be worth approximately $[]. This represents a []% gain on the Sponsor’s investment. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by the Liquidation Date, then the Sponsor Shares will be worthless.
Given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Sponsor Shares as compared to the price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on its investment even if the PubCo Ordinary Shares trade below $10.00 per share and the Artemis Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Artemis Public Stockholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Artemis Public Stockholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $10.00 per share.
Artemis’s independent directors have invested an aggregate of approximately $1 million in the Sponsor and are entitled to their pro rata portion of the Sponsor Shares and Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor, or an aggregate of 553,481 Sponsor Shares and 1,646,406 Private Placement Warrants.
Certain of the Artemis Anchor Investors are members of the Sponsor and, as a result of their direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Artemis Class B Common Stock, they may make a substantial profit off of the completion of a business combination even if the Artemis Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return; moreover, if the Artemis Anchor Investors retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes their shares.
Simultaneously with the Closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate investment of $8 million, in a private placement to our Sponsor. The Private Placement Warrants are each exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing, for one PubCo Ordinary Share at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by the Liquidation Date, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Artemis Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The Private Placement Warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $[] based upon the closing price of $[] per share and $[] per warrant, respectively, on Nasdaq on [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting.
Our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date. In such event, there will be no liquidating distributions made with respect to our Sponsor Shares or the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor. In contrast, Artemis Public Stockholders will receive approximately $10.20 per share if the Trust Account is liquidated, calculated as of [], 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting.
As disclosed in the prospectus for Artemis’s IPO, the members of Artemis’s management team and its directors have also invested in the Sponsor by subscribing for units issued by the Sponsor. Through their investment in the Sponsor, these officers and directors will share in a portion of any appreciation in Sponsor Shares and Private Placement Warrants, provided that we successfully complete a business combination.

It is currently contemplated that Thomas Granite, current Chief Financial Officer of Artemis, will serve as Chief Financial Officer of PubCo. As such, in the future he may receive any salary, bonus, cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its Chief Financial Officer, though the specific terms of Mr. Granite’s employment with PubCo have not been discussed. It is also currently contemplated that Holly Gagnon, co-Chief Executive Officer and a director of Artemis, and Philip Kaplan, current co-Chief Executive Officer of Artemis, will serve as directors of PubCo after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its directors.
If Artemis is unable to complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date, in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Artemis if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Artemis, or a prospective target business with which Artemis has entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If Artemis completes a business combination, on the other hand, PubCo will be liable for all such claims.
Following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Artemis and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Artemis for working capital expenses. If Artemis does not complete an initial Business Combination within the required period, Artemis may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay any then outstanding working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for a period of six years following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo is required to (i) maintain provisions in the Restated Articles providing for the indemnification of Artemis’s existing directors and officers and (ii) maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that covers Artemis’s existing directors and officers.
Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination. However, if Artemis fails to consummate an initial business combination, such persons will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement and Artemis may not be able to reimburse these expenses. As of August 29, 2022, there were no reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses that are expected to be reimbursed using funds from the Trust Account at Closing.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and Artemis’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Artemis Public Stockholders. In the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $42.8 million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of (a) approximately $34.8 million representing the value of the Sponsor Shares (assuming a value of $10.20 per share, the deemed value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination) and (b) $8 million representing the value of the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor (using the $1.00 per warrant purchase price). As of August 29, 2022, there were no outstanding loans, fees or out-of-pocket expenses for which the Sponsor, its affiliates or Artemis’s directors or officers were awaiting reimbursement.

Interests of Novibet’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Artemis Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that Novibet’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Business Combination that are different

140

Table of Contents

from, or in addition to, those of the Artemis Stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

George Athanasopoulos, who is currently Novibet’s Chief Executive Officer, is expected to become the Chief Executive Officer of PubCo upon the closing of the Business Combination. Mr. Athanasopoulos would be entitled to salary and any cash fees, stock options, or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay its officers.
Rodolfo Odoni, who is currently the ultimate beneficial owner of Novibet and the owner of Komisium, is expected to become chairman of the PubCo Board upon the closing of the Business Combination. As such, in the future he may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the PubCo Board determines to pay to its directors.

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Artemis or its securities, the Sponsor, Novibet or the equity holders of Artemis and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or who redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, their Public Shares, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Artemis Common Stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates would be purchased at a price no higher than the redemption price for the Public Shares, which is currently estimated to be $10.20 per share. Any Public Shares so purchased would not be voted by the Sponsor or its affiliates at the Special Meeting and would not be redeemable by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of Redemptions. In the event that the Sponsor, Artemis’s directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Artemis Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. While the nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including, subject to the Investors Agreement, the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the Artemis Class A Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than the market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination Proposal to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Artemis will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination is comprised of a series of transactions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. For accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be effected through three main steps:

1.Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo which is accounted for as a “common control business combination” whereby PubCo will be the successor to Novibet, the accounting predecessor.
2.The “common control business combination” will be immediately followed by PubCo acquiring Artemis, which will be effectuated by Merger Sub merging with and into Artemis, with Artemis being the surviving entity. Artemis is not recognized as a “business” under IFRS 3 because it consists primarily of cash held in a bank and in the Trust Account. PubCo’s acquisition of Artemis will be accounted for as an “asset acquisition” in accordance with IAS 8 and IFRS 2.

141

Table of Contents

3.Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo in consideration for the Closing Cash Consideration, Closing Share Consideration (including the right of Komisium to retain the PubCo Ordinary Shares to which the Initial Share Premium relates), and, if the earnout conditions are met, the Earnout Consideration.

While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination is PubCo, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under IFRS, Novibet will be the accounting acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of PubCo will reflect the net assets of Novibet, the accounting predecessor, and Artemis at historical cost, with no additional goodwill recognized.

Regulatory Approvals and Notifications

The Business Combination is not subject as a closing condition to any foreign, federal, state or foreign regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the Merger. However, Novibet is required to notify applicable gambling and company registry authorities in the Isle of Man, Ireland, Greece, Malta and Italy of the occurrence of the Business Combination.

No Appraisal Rights

Under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the holders of Artemis Units, Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants will not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Resales of PubCo Ordinary Shares

The PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, and the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of the PubCo Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, will be freely transferable under the Securities Act except for shares issued to any shareholder who may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act to be an “affiliate” of Artemis immediately prior to the Effective Time, or an “affiliate” of PubCo following the Business Combination. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, PubCo or (as appropriate) Artemis or Novibet, and include the executive officers, directors and certain significant shareholders of PubCo and (as appropriate) Artemis or Novibet. For more information, see “PubCo Ordinary Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”

Subject to the terms of the Restated Articles, any shareholder holding shares in certificated form may transfer all or any of their shares by an instrument of transfer in any usual form or any other form approved by the board. Any written instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and (in the case of a partly paid share) PubCo transferee.

In the case of uncertificated shares, the PubCo Board may take such action as they consider appropriate to achieve a transfer. The Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 permit shares to be issued and held in uncertificated form and transferred by means of a computer-based system.

The board may decline to register any transfer of any share:

which is not a fully paid share;
where the transfer is not lodged at the registered office or such other place as the directors have appointed;
where the transfer is not accompanied by the share certificate to which it relates, or such other evidence as the board may reasonably require to show the transferor’s right to make the transfer, or evidence of the right of someone other than the transferor to make the transfer on the transferor’s behalf;
where the transfer is in respect of more than one class of share; and
where the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred exceeds four.

142

Table of Contents

If the PubCo Board declines to register a transfer, it must return to the transferor the instrument of transfer together with notice of the refusal, unless the Board suspects that the proposed transfer may be fraudulent.

Stock Exchange Listing of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants

PubCo intends to apply to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “NOVI” and “NOVIW,” respectively, to be effective at the consummation of the Business Combination. Approval of the listing on Nasdaq (subject only to official notice of issuance thereof) is a condition to each party’s obligation to complete the Business Combination.

Delisting and Deregistration of Artemis Public Shares

If the Business Combination is completed, the Public Shares, Artemis Warrants and Artemis Units will be delisted from Nasdaq and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

PubCo Status as a Foreign Private Issuer

PubCo will be a “foreign private issuer” under SEC rules following the consummation of the Business Combination. Consequently, PubCo will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers.

Based on its foreign private issuer status, PubCo will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as a U.S. company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act and will also be exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. PubCo will also not be required to comply with Regulation FD, which addresses certain restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information. In addition, among other matters, PubCo officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of PubCo Ordinary Shares. Additionally, Nasdaq rules allow foreign private issuers to follow home country practices in lieu of certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules. As a result, PubCo’s shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

PubCo Status as an Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of PubCo’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

PubCo will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of Artemis’s initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Table of Contents

PubCo Status as a Controlled Company

Upon completion of the business combination, Komisium will control a majority of the voting power of PubCo’s outstanding shares. As a result of its voting control, Komisium will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove directors, Komisium will indirectly effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and other matters of corporate or management policy. This concentration of ownership may delay or deter possible changes in control and limit the liquidity of the trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares, which may reduce the value of an investment such shares. See “Risk FactorsFollowing the completion of the Business Combination, Komisium will control PubCo, and its interests may conflict with yours in the future” for more information.

Additionally, under Nasdaq rules, a listed company of which more than 50.0% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by any person or group of persons acting together is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirement (i) that a majority of the PubCo Board consist of independent directors, as defined under the Nasdaq rules, (ii) to have a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iii) to have director nominees selected, or recommended for the PubCo Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (iv) to have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. PubCo plans to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” following the Business Combination. Accordingly, following the business combination, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Required Vote

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock as of the record date, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have the same effect as a vote “against” the Business Combination Proposal.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote the Sponsor Shares and any Public Shares owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. See “Related Agreements — Sponsor Support Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the Artemis Board

THE ARTEMIS BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT ARTEMIS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Artemis’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what they may believe is in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “— Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

General

The Adjournment Proposal, if approved, will allow the Artemis Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if determined necessary by Artemis to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt the Business Combination Proposal or to provide additional time for Artemis to continue to attempt to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the Business Combination. In no event will Artemis solicit proxies to adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the Existing Artemis Charter, Delaware law and the Business Combination Agreement.

In addition to an adjournment of the Special Meeting upon approval of the Adjournment Proposal, the Artemis Board is empowered under Delaware law to postpone the Special Meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order in order to obtain a quorum. In such event, Artemis will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform Artemis Stockholders of the postponement.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

If an Adjournment Proposal is presented to the Special Meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, the Artemis Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Required Vote

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Artemis Common Stock that are voted at the Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal because abstentions and Broker Non-Votes are not votes cast.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote the Sponsor Shares and any Public Shares owned by it in favor of the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). See “Related Agreements — Sponsor Support Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the Artemis Board

THE ARTEMIS BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT ARTEMIS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL, IF PRESENTED.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Artemis’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Artemis and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Artemis’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

Additionally, the Sponsor agreed not to redeem any shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock or Artemis Class B Common Stock held by it in connection with the Business Combination and to waive the anti-dilution conversion price adjustments set forth in the Existing Artemis Charter with respect to its Artemis Class B Common Stock.

The Sponsor Support Agreement will terminate in its entirety, and be of no further force or effect, upon the earliest of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms (iii) the liquidation of Artemis, or (iv) the written agreement of the Sponsor, Artemis, and Novibet providing for the termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement. However, the termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement will not relieve any party thereto from liability arising from any intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in the Sponsor Support Agreement or a material and willful breach of the Sponsor Support Agreement that is a consequence of an omission by, or an act undertaken or caused by, the breaching party intentionally and with the knowledge that such omission or taking or causing of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause such material and willful breach.

Investors Agreement

At the Closing, the Sponsor, Komisium and PubCo will enter into the Investors Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and Komisium will agree with PubCo that the PubCo Ordinary Shares held by them will be subject to transfer restrictions until the earlier of (a) 12 months after the Closing or (b) the date on which the closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, bonus share issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the transfer restrictions set forth therein, (i) Komisium will be entitled to transfer that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares acquired by it in the Business Combination (in the form of either Closing Share Consideration or Earnout Consideration) equal to 0.3 multiplied by the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Share Exchange, and (ii) certain other customary transfers will be expressly permitted during the lock-up period.

The Investors Agreement will further provide that: (a) for as long as the Sponsor beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, the Sponsor will be entitled to appoint two members of the PubCo Board; provided that at least one such board member must satisfy the Nasdaq diversity requirements and each such board member must satisfy the Nasdaq independence requirements; (b) for as long as the Sponsor is entitled to appoint any member of the PubCo Board pursuant to the Investors Agreement, Komisium will agree to use its

164

Table of Contents

commercially reasonable efforts to have the Sponsor’s nominee appointed to the PubCo Board, including soliciting votes in favor of the election of any such director at any meeting of PubCo’s shareholders; and (c) for as long as the Sponsor or Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, each will agree that it will not, without the approval of the PubCo Board and except as set forth therein, (i) enter into, propose or seek any merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring or other extraordinary transaction involving PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) initiate or participate in any proxy solicitation or (iii) publicly nominate or recommend for nomination a person for election at any PubCo Shareholder meeting, except as expressly permitted by the Investors Agreement.

The Investors Agreement will further provide that (a) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium shall be entitled to nominate and appoint three members of the PubCo Board; provided that at least one such board member must satisfy Nasdaq independence requirements; (b) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 40% but less than 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint two members of the PubCo Board, neither of whom will be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements; and (c) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% but less than 40% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint one member of the PubCo Board, who will not be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements.

The Investors Agreement will terminate in its entirety, and be of no further force or effect (i) with respect to the Sponsor or Komisium, when such holder no longer holds any PubCo Ordinary Shares and (ii) with respect to all parties, upon mutual written agreement to terminate the Investors Agreement. However, the termination of the Investors Agreement will not relieve any party from liability for any breach prior to the time of the termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities, or damages arising from such breach.

Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, PubCo, the Sponsor and certain other securityholders of PubCo will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which, upon completion of the Business Combination, the PubCo Ordinary Shares and certain other Registrable Securities described therein held by the Sponsor, Komisium and the other persons specified therein, shall bear the same registration rights as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement entered into on September 29, 2021, with respect to the Sponsor Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and certain other Registrable Securities described therein.

The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the ten-year anniversary of the Closing or (ii) with respect to any holder, on the date that such holder no longer holds Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement

At the Closing, Artemis, PubCo and Continental will enter into the Warrant Assignment, Assumption, and Amendment Agreement, pursuant to which as of the Closing, (a) each whole Artemis Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination will be assumed by PubCo and will be exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, for one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share and (b) Artemis will assign to PubCo all of Artemis’s right, title, and interest in and to the existing Warrant Agreement with Continental and PubCo will assume, and agree to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, all of Artemis’s liabilities and obligations under the existing Warrant Agreement arising from and after the Closing.

CERTAIN MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Merger to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below, and together, “Holders”) of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants (collectively “Artemis Securities”). The following discussion also summarizes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock that elect to have their Artemis Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash and of the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants following the consummation of the Business Combination. This discussion applies only to the Artemis Securities, PubCo Ordinary Shares, and PubCo Warrants, as the case may be, that are held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects arising in connection with the Merger, the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock, or the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants following the consummation of the Business Combination. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect the tax consequences discussed below. Artemis and Novibet have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS will not take, or a court will not sustain, a contrary position regarding the tax consequences discussed below.

This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Artemis’s founders, the Sponsor or any other sponsors, officers or directors of Artemis, or to any holders of Artemis Class B Common Stock and/or Private Placement Warrants. This discussion is a summary only and does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and the alternative minimum tax, if any. In addition, it does not address all of the different consequences that may be relevant to Holders subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

banks, insurance companies, and certain other financial institutions;
regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;
brokers, dealers, or traders in securities;
traders in securities that elect to mark to market;
tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;
U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
persons holding Artemis Securities or PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants, as the case may be, as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated or similar transaction;
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to Artemis securities or PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants, as the case may be, being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;
except as specifically provided below, persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding Artemis’s stock or, after the Merger, PubCo’s stock;

166

Table of Contents

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax (and their shareholders);
S corporations, partnerships, or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other flow-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);
U.S. Holders having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;
persons who hold or received Artemis Securities or PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants, as the case may be, pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and
tax-qualified retirement plans.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Artemis Securities, PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants, the tax treatment of a beneficial owner of such partnership will depend on the status of the beneficial owner in the partnership, the activities of the partnership, and certain determinations made at the beneficial owner level. Accordingly, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and beneficial owners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Business Combination.

For purposes of this discussion, because any Artemis Unit consisting of one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock and one half of one Artemis Warrant is separable at the option of the holder, the holder of an Artemis Unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrant components, and the discussion below with respect to actual Holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants also should apply to holders of Artemis Units (as the deemed owners of the underlying Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants that constitute the Artemis Units). Under this treatment, the separation of an Artemis Unit into its Artemis Securities components in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination generally would not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders of Artemis Units and Artemis Securities are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (including any redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock for cash) with respect to any Artemis Securities held through an Artemis Unit (including alternative characterizations of an Artemis Unit).

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT TO HOLDERS OF ARTEMIS SECURITIES DEPEND IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION (INCLUDING THE MERGER), THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ARTEMIS CLASS A COMMON STOCK, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES AND/OR PUBCO WARRANTS TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER WILL DEPEND ON THE HOLDER’S PARTICULAR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU, IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES, OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION (INCLUDING THE MERGER), THE EXERCISE OF YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ARTEMIS CLASS A COMMON STOCK, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES AND/OR PUBCO WARRANTS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of PubCo

Tax Residence of PubCo for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

Although PubCo is incorporated and tax resident in the UK, the IRS may assert that it should be treated as a U.S. corporation (and therefore a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation is generally classified as a U.S. (or “domestic”) corporation (or U.S. tax resident) if it is created or organized

167

Table of Contents

in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia. Because PubCo is not so created or organized (but is instead incorporated only in the UK), it would generally be classified as a foreign corporation (that is, a corporation other than a U.S. (or “domestic”) corporation) under these rules. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception under which a corporation created or organized only under non-U.S. law may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Section 7874 rules are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties as to their application.

Under Code Section 7874, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a foreign corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes when (i) the foreign corporation directly or indirectly acquires substantially all of the assets held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including the indirect acquisition of assets of the U.S. corporation by acquiring the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation), (ii) the shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold, by vote or value, at least 80% of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation after the acquisition by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (the percentage computed using such methodology, the “Section 7874 Percentage”), and (iii) the foreign acquiring corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” does not have substantial business activities in the foreign acquiring corporation’s country of creation or organization relative to such expanded affiliated group’s worldwide activities (the “Substantial Business Activities Exception”). In order to satisfy the Substantial Business Activities Exception, at least 25% of the employees (by headcount and compensation), real and tangible assets, and gross income of the foreign acquiring corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” must be based, incurred, located, and derived, respectively, in the country in which the foreign acquiring corporation is created or organized and tax resident. The Section 7874 Regulations further provide for a number of special rules that aggregate multiple acquisitions of U.S. corporations for purposes of Code Section 7874 that are made as part of a plan or made over a 36-month period, making it more likely that Code Section 7874 will apply to a foreign acquiring corporation.

PubCo will indirectly acquire substantially all of the assets of Artemis through the Merger. As a result, Section 7874 of the Code may apply to cause PubCo to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the Merger depending on whether the Section 7874 Percentage equals or exceeds 80%, subject to the applicability of the Substantial Business Activities Exception.

Based upon the terms of the Merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Code Section 7874 and the Section 7874 Regulations, and certain factual assumptions, Artemis and PubCo currently expect that the Section 7874 Percentage of Artemis stockholders in PubCo should be less than 80% after the Merger. Accordingly, PubCo is not currently expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code. The calculation of the Section 7874 Percentage is complex, is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and could be impacted by changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations with possible retroactive effect), and is subject to certain factual uncertainties. Moreover, former holders of Artemis Securities may be deemed to own an amount of PubCo shares in respect to certain redemptions by Artemis of Artemis Class A Common Stock prior to the Merger for purposes of determining the Section 7874 Percentage. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the status of PubCo as a foreign corporation under Code Section 7874 or that such challenge would not be sustained by a court.

If the IRS were to successfully challenge under Code Section 7874 PubCo’s status as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, PubCo and certain PubCo shareholders could be subject to significant adverse tax consequences, including a higher effective corporate income tax rate on PubCo and potential future withholding taxes on distributions to certain PubCo shareholders. In particular, holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants would be treated as holders of stock and warrants of a U.S. corporation.

However, even if the Section 7874 Percentage was such that PubCo were still respected as a foreign corporation under Code Section 7874, PubCo may be limited in using its equity to engage in future acquisitions of U.S. corporations over a 36-month period following the Business Combination. If PubCo were to be treated as acquiring substantially all of the assets of a U.S. corporation within a 36-month period after the Business Combination, the Section 7874 Regulations would exclude certain shares of PubCo attributable to the Merger for purposes of determining the Section 7874 Percentage of that subsequent acquisition, making it more likely that Code Section 7874 would apply to such subsequent acquisition.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that PubCo will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code.

Utilization of Artemis’s Tax Attributes and Certain Other Adverse Tax Consequences to PubCo and PubCo’s Shareholders

Following the acquisition of a U.S. corporation by a foreign corporation, Code Section 7874 can limit the ability of the acquired U.S. corporation and its U.S. affiliates to use U.S. tax attributes (including net operating losses and certain tax credits) to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions, as well as result in certain other adverse tax consequences, even if the foreign acquiring corporation is respected as a foreign corporation for purposes of Code Section 7874. Specifically, Code Section 7874 can apply in this manner if (i) the foreign acquiring corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation, (ii) after the acquisition, the Section 7874 Percentage is at least 60% but is less than 80% and (iii) the foreign acquiring corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” does not meet the Substantial Business Activities Exception.

Based upon the terms of the Merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 of the Code and the Section 7874 Regulations, and certain factual assumptions, Artemis and PubCo currently expect that the Section 7874 Percentage should be less than 60% after the Merger. Accordingly, the limitations and other rules described above are currently not expected to apply to PubCo or Artemis after the Merger.

If the Section 7874 Percentage applicable to the Merger is at least 60% but less than 80%, PubCo and certain of PubCo’s shareholders may be subject to adverse tax consequences including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of tax attributes with respect to “inversion gain” recognized over a 10-year period following the transaction, disqualification of dividends paid from preferential “qualified dividend income” rates, and the requirement that any U.S. corporation owned by PubCo include as “base erosion payments” that may be subject to a minimum U.S. federal income tax any amounts treated as reductions in gross income paid to certain related foreign persons. Furthermore, certain “disqualified individuals” (including officers and directors of a U.S. corporation) may be subject to an excise tax on certain stock-based compensation, currently at a rate of 20%. However, as a blank check company whose assets are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, it is not expected that Artemis will have a significant amount of inversion gain as a result of the Merger.

The above determination, however, is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and would be impacted by future changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations, with possible retroactive effect) and is subject to certain factual uncertainties. Whether the Section 7874 Percentage is less than 60% must be finally determined after completion of the Merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. In addition, changes to the rules in Code Section 7874 or Section 7874 Regulations, or other changes in law, could adversely affect the above determination for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge whether PubCo is subject to the above rules or that such a challenge would not be sustained by a court. If the IRS successfully applied these rules to PubCo, significant adverse tax consequences could result for PubCo and for certain PubCo shareholders, including a higher effective corporate income tax rate on PubCo.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the limitations and other rules described above will not apply to PubCo or Artemis after the Business Combination.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of Artemis Securities, PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants, as the case may be, that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
a trust, if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons (as defined in the Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

Redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below under the heading “— Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger,” the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of Artemis Class A Common Stock that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for all or a portion of its Artemis Class A Common Stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Artemis Class A Common Stock redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Artemis Class A Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as described under “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock” below. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Artemis Class A Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences described below under “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions”. Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Artemis stock treated as held by the redeemed U.S. Holder before and after the redemption (including any stock of Artemis constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as described in the following paragraph) relative to all of the stock of Artemis outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock generally will be treated as a sale of the Artemis Class A Common Stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in Artemis or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only shares of Artemis stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of Artemis stock that are constructively owned by it under certain attribution rules set forth in the Code. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock that the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Artemis Class A Common Stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Artemis Warrants.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Artemis’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of Artemis’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account redemptions by other holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock). There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of Artemis stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of Artemis stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares of Artemis stock (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Artemis Warrants). The redemption of the Artemis Class A Common Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Artemis. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Artemis will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed U.S. Holder and the tax effects to such U.S. Holder will be as described under “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions” below.

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions

A redemption treated as a distribution generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Artemis’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Artemis Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess

170

Table of Contents

will be treated as gain realized on the sale of the Artemis Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described under “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock” below.

Dividends treated as paid to a U.S. Holder that is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Artemis Class A Common Stock prevents a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, then a U.S. Holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate U.S. Holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income.

After the application of these rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed Artemis Class A Common Stock will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Artemis Class A Common Stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Artemis Warrants or possibly in other shares of Artemis stock constructively owned by it.

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock

If a redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. Holder’s Artemis Class A Common Stock, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Artemis Class A Common Stock redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Artemis Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Artemis Class A Common Stock have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the Artemis Class A Common Stock has been suspended, then non-corporate U.S. Holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any gain on a sale or taxable disposition of the Artemis Class A Common Stock would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

IF YOU ARE A U.S. HOLDER OF ARTEMIS CLASS A COMMON STOCK CONTEMPLATING AN EXERCISE OF YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger

The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code (“Section 368(a) Reorganization”) and/or as part of a transaction described under Section 351 of the Code (“Section 351 Transaction”). The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to generally report the Merger for all applicable tax purposes in a manner consistent with such intended tax treatments. Although this disclosure assumes that the Merger qualifies under one (or both) of these Code provisions, the treatment is not free from doubt, and the IRS could assert a different position and such assertion could be sustained by a court. However, the closing of the Business Combination (including closing of the Merger) is not conditioned upon the receipt of, and neither Artemis nor PubCo has received or sought, an opinion of counsel that the Merger qualifies as a Section 368(a) Reorganization or as part of a Section 351 Transaction, and neither Artemis nor PubCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Merger. U.S. Holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Merger, including with respect to its qualification as a Section 368(a) Reorganization and/or as part of a Section 351 Transaction.

U.S. Holders Exchanging Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares

If the Merger qualifies either as a Section 368(a) Reorganization or as part of a Section 351 Transaction, subject to the discussion in “Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger — U.S. Holders Participating in the Merger and in a Redemption of Artemis

171

Table of Contents

Class A Common Stock” and “— Additional Requirements for Tax Deferral” below, (i) no gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. Holder of Artemis Class A Common Stock who exchanges such Artemis Class A Common Stock solely for PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger, and, in such case, the U.S. Holder should have an adjusted tax basis of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received in the Merger equal to the adjusted tax basis of the Artemis Class A Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor, and (ii) the holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received in the Merger by such a U.S. Holder of Artemis Class A Common Stock should include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for Artemis Class A Common Stock exchanged therefor.

Every “significant transferor” pursuant to the exchange must include a statement on or with such transferor’s U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year of the exchange. For this purpose, a significant transferor is generally a person that transferred property to a corporation and received stock of the transferee corporation if, immediately after the exchange, such person — (i) owned at least 5% (by vote or value) of the total outstanding stock of the transferee corporation if the stock owned by such person is publicly traded, or (ii) owned at least 1% (by vote or value) of the total outstanding stock of the transferee corporation if the stock owned by such person is not publicly traded. We expect that PubCo Ordinary Shares will be treated as publicly traded for this purpose.

U.S. Holders Participating in the Merger and in a Redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a U.S. Holder exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for a portion of its Artemis Class A Common Stock, it is possible that such redemption may be treated as integrated with the Merger rather than as a separate transaction. In such case, cash received by such U.S. Holder in the redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in a Section 368(a) Reorganization (which, depending on the circumstances applicable to such U.S. Holder, may be treated either as (i) capital gain (but not loss) in a manner similar to that described above under the heading “— Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights — Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock” but not in excess of the amount of cash received or (ii) dividend income to the extent of (although not entirely clear) PubCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, taxable as described above under the heading “— Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights — Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Dividends”).

If the Merger does not qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization, it is possible that such cash, together with PubCo Warrants (if any) received in exchange for Artemis Warrants, may be treated as taxable boot received in a Section 351 Transaction (in which case gain (but not loss) may be recognized on the Merger and redemption transaction in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the difference between (x) the sum of the value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants received in the Merger and the amount of cash received in the redemption and (y) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants exchanged therefor pursuant to the Merger and/or the redemption and (B) the sum of the amount of cash received in the redemption and the value of the PubCo Warrants received in the Merger). Under this possible characterization, such U.S. Holder may be required to recognize more gain or income than if the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock was treated as a separate transaction from the exchange pursuant to the Merger and would not be entitled to recognize any loss with respect to its redeemed Artemis Class A Common Stock.

In addition, if a U.S. Holder that elects to participate in a redemption with respect to all its Artemis Class A Common Stock maintains its ownership of Artemis Warrants, such redemption also may be treated as integrated with the Merger rather than as a separate transaction (with the same taxation effects described in the above two paragraphs). In such case, even if the Merger were treated as a Section 368(a) Reorganization, and no gain or loss generally would be recognized upon the deemed exchange of Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants as described below under the heading “— U.S. Holders Exchanging Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants”, cash received by such U.S. Holder in a redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in a Section 368(a) Reorganization, in which case the U.S. Holder is taxed in a manner described in the first paragraph of this section. Under this possible characterization, such U.S. Holder generally is expected to recognize capital gain (but not loss) on such redemption in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the Artemis Class A Common Stock exchanged therefor. If the IRS were to assert, and a court were to sustain, such a contrary position, such U.S. Holder may be required to recognize more gain or income than if the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock was treated as a separate transaction from the exchanges pursuant to the Merger. If the Merger were not treated as a Section 368(a) Reorganization, then the tax treatment to such U.S. Holder would be similar to if the redemption and Merger were not integrated, with the treatment of the redemption generally as described above under “— Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders Exercising Redemption Rights — Redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock” and the treatment of the deemed exchange of Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants pursuant to the Merger generally as described below under “— Tax Consequences of the

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible integration of the redemption and the Merger as a single transaction.

U.S. Holders Exchanging Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants

The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of Artemis Warrants in connection with the Merger is uncertain because, as described below, it is unclear whether the Merger qualifies as a Section 368(a) Reorganization. To qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization, a transaction must satisfy certain requirements, including, among others, that the acquiring corporation continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d). There are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the Merger will satisfy this requirement and, in turn, qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization. In addition, Section 368(a) Reorganization treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur prior to or at the time of the Merger, some of which are outside the control of Artemis and PubCo. For example, the requirements for Section 368(a) Reorganization treatment could be affected by the magnitude of Artemis Class A Common Stock redemptions that occur in connection with the Merger. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Merger will qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization. In addition, neither Artemis nor PubCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination (including the Merger), and the IRS or a court could take a different position from that described herein. U.S. Holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Merger, including with respect to its qualification as a Section 368(a) Reorganization.

If the Merger qualifies as a Section 368(a) Reorganization then, subject to the disclosure under the headings “Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the MergerU.S. Holders Participating in the Merger and in a Redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock” above and “— Additional Requirements for Tax Deferral” below, a U.S. Holder of Artemis Warrants generally should not recognize any gain or loss on any such deemed transfer of Artemis Warrants, and such U.S. Holder’s basis in the PubCo Warrants deemed received should be equal to the U.S. Holder’s basis in its Artemis Warrants deemed transferred.

If the Merger does not qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization but qualifies as part of a Section 351 Transaction, the treatment of a U.S. Holder’s exchange of Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants in the Merger is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. Holder could be treated as transferring its Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants in exchange for PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants as part of a Section 351 Transaction. In such case, such U.S. Holder should be required to recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such U.S. Holder (generally, the excess of (x) the sum of the fair market values of the PubCo Warrants treated as received by such holder and the PubCo Ordinary Shares received by such holder, if any, over (y) such holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Artemis Warrants and Artemis Class A Common Stock treated as having been exchanged therefor) and (ii) the fair market value of the PubCo Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. It is also possible that a U.S. Holder could be treated as exchanging its Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants for “new” warrants (i.e., PubCo Warrants) in a taxable transaction that is distinct from the exchange of Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger. In such case, the U.S. Holder should be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the PubCo Warrants held by such U.S. holder immediately following the Merger and the adjusted tax basis of the Artemis Warrants held by such U.S. Holder immediately prior to the Merger.

Alternative Treatment of the Merger

If the Merger does not qualify as a Section 368(a) Reorganization or as part of a Section 351 Transaction, the Merger generally would be treated as a taxable exchange of Artemis Warrants and/or Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Warrants and/or PubCo Ordinary Shares. If so treated, a U.S. Holder would be required to recognize gain or loss in such taxable exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the PubCo Warrants and PubCo Ordinary Shares held by it immediately following the Merger and the adjusted tax basis of the Artemis Warrants and Artemis Class A Common Stock held by it immediately prior to the Merger. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Artemis Warrants or Artemis Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however,

173

Table of Contents

whether the redemption rights with respect to the Artemis Class A Common Stock have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the Artemis Class A Common Stock has been suspended, then non-corporate U.S. Holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any such gain would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants, as applicable would begin on the day after the Merger and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants received in the exchange should equal the fair market value of such PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants at the time of the exchange. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Artemis Securities (generally, Artemis Securities purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Artemis Securities.

Additional Requirements for Tax Deferral

Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in certain circumstances described below, impose additional requirements for a U.S. Holder to qualify for tax-deferred treatment (i) with respect to the exchange of Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Merger under Section 368 of the Code or Section 351(a) of the Code and (ii) with respect to the exchange of Artemis Warrants for PubCo Warrants in the Merger under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 367(a) of the Code potentially may apply to the exchange by a U.S. Holder of Artemis Class A Common Stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger. Section 367(a) of the Code generally requires a U.S. Holder of stock in a U.S. corporation to recognize gain (but not loss) when such stock is exchanged for stock of a non-U.S. corporation in an exchange that would otherwise qualify for tax-deferred treatment (such as pursuant to a Section 368(a) Reorganization or as part of a Section 351 Transaction) and any of the following is true: (i) the U.S. corporation fails to comply with certain reporting requirements; (ii) U.S. Holders of stock of the acquired U.S. corporation receive more than 50% (by vote or value) of the stock of the non-U.S. corporation; (iii) U.S. persons that are officers, directors, or 5% or greater shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation own more than 50% (by vote or value) of the stock of the non-U.S. corporation immediately after the acquisition; (iv) such U.S. Holder is a 5% or greater shareholder of the acquired U.S. corporation and fails to enter into a 5-year gain recognition agreement with the IRS to recognize gain with respect to the acquired U.S. corporation stock exchanged in the acquisition; or (v) the U.S. and non-U.S. corporations (and other relevant parties) fail to meet the “active trade or business test.” A holder of an acquired U.S. corporation is presumed to be a U.S. person unless that person signs an ownership statement certifying certain information, including its residency. The “active trade or business test” generally requires (A) that the non-U.S. corporation (and its qualified subsidiaries, including for this purpose PubCo and its subsidiaries) be engaged in an “active trade or business” outside of the United States for the 36-month period immediately before the exchange and that neither the transferors of the U.S. corporation’s stock nor the non-U.S. corporation has an intention to substantially dispose of or discontinue such trade or business, and (B) that the fair market value of the non-U.S. corporation be at least equal to the fair market value of the U.S. corporation, as specifically determined for purposes of Section 367 of the Code, as of the closing of the exchange (the “substantiality test”). For purposes of applying the substantiality test to the Merger, the fair market value of Artemis generally will be deemed to include the value of any non-ordinary course distributions, as determined under applicable Treasury Regulations, made by Artemis during the 36-month period ending on the closing of the Merger.

To the extent that U.S. Holders of Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants are required to recognize gain under Section 367(a) of the Code for any of the foregoing reasons, a U.S. Holder generally would recognize gain, if any, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the sum of the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received by such U.S. Holder and/or PubCo Warrants deemed received by such U.S. Holder, over (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Artemis Class A Common Stock exchanged and/or Artemis Warrants deemed exchanged therefor. Any such gain would generally be capital gain, and would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or Artemis Warrants was more than one year at the time of the Merger. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Artemis Class A Common Stock have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the Artemis Class A Common Stock has been suspended, then non-corporate U.S. Holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any such gain would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. In either case described above, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants received in the exchange would be equal to the fair market value of such PubCo

174

Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants at the time of the Merger. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Artemis Securities (generally, Artemis Securities purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Artemis Securities.

The rules dealing with Section 367(a) of the Code discussed above are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisor concerning the application of these rules to the exchange of Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or deemed exchange of Artemis Warrants under their particular circumstances, including, if a U.S. Holder believes that it will be a 5% or greater shareholder, the possibility of entering into a “gain recognition agreement” under applicable Treasury Regulations.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants

Dividends and Other Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt and for the purpose of the balance of this discussion, deemed or constructive distributions) will generally be taxable as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of PubCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and will be treated as described below under the heading “— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants.” The amount of any such distribution will include any amounts withheld by PubCo (or another applicable withholding agent).

Amounts treated as dividends that PubCo pays to a U.S. Holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will be taxed at regular tax rates and will not qualify for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, under tax laws currently in effect and subject to certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), dividends generally will be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate only if PubCo Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or PubCo is eligible for benefits under an applicable tax treaty with the United States, and, in each case, PubCo is not treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder at the time the dividend was paid or in the preceding year and provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. The amount of any dividend distribution paid in foreign currency will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the applicable exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt.

Amounts taxable as dividends generally will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute “passive” category income, which is treated separately from other types of income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to a U.S. Holder. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the creditability of foreign taxes in their particular circumstances. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, a U.S. Holder may, in certain circumstances, deduct foreign taxes in computing their taxable income, subject to applicable limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws. Generally, an election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) PubCo is 50% or more owned, by vote or value, by U.S. persons and (b) at least 10% of PubCo’s earnings and profits are attributable to sources within the United States, then for foreign tax credit purposes, a portion of PubCo’s dividends would be treated as derived from sources within the United States. In such case, with respect to any dividend paid for any taxable year, the U.S.- source ratio of such dividends for foreign tax credit purposes would be equal to the portion of PubCo’s earnings and profits from sources within the United States for such taxable year, divided by the total amount of PubCo’s earnings and profits for such taxable year.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” upon any sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of (x) the amount of cash and (y) the fair market value of any other property, received in such sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants (determined as described above or below), in each case as calculated in U.S. dollars. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Any gain or loss recognized on the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants generally will be U.S.-source income or loss. Consequently, a U.S. Holder may not be able to claim a credit for non-U.S. taxes, if any, imposed upon a disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. Prospective U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the foreign tax credit implications of such sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of PubCo Warrants

A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the acquisition of a PubCo Ordinary Share on the exercise of PubCo Warrant for cash. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Share received upon exercise of a PubCo Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the exercised PubCo Warrant and the exercise price of such PubCo Warrant. It is unclear whether the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of PubCo Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the PubCo Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the PubCo Warrants. If a PubCo Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a PubCo Warrant are not clear under current tax law. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a cashless exercise may not be taxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. Holder’s basis in PubCo Ordinary Shares received would equal the holder’s basis in the PubCo Warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the PubCo Ordinary Shares would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the PubCo Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the PubCo Warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares would include the holding period of the PubCo Warrants exercised therefor.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of PubCo Warrants equal to the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of PubCo Warrants to be exercised. In such case, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” the U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the PubCo Warrants deemed surrendered in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares that would have been received in a regular exercise of the PubCo Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares received would equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Warrants deemed exercised and the aggregate exercise price of such PubCo Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the PubCo Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the PubCo Warrants.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares received, there can be no assurance regarding which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise of PubCo Warrants.

Table of Contents

Subject to the PFIC rules described below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” if PubCo redeem PubCo Warrants for cash pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of PubCo Warrants” or if PubCo purchases PubCo Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described above under “— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each PubCo Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares for which the PubCo Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the PubCo Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of PubCo Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. The U.S. Holders of the PubCo Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from PubCo if, for example, the adjustment increases the PubCo Warrant holders’ proportionate interest in PubCo’s assets or earnings and profits (for example, through an increase in the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants), which adjustment may be made as a result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, or as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, in each case, which is taxable to the holders of such PubCo Ordinary Shares as a distribution. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax in the same manner as described under “— Dividends and Other Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares” as if the U.S. Holders of the PubCo Warrants received a cash distribution from PubCo equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of assets giving rise to passive income.

PubCo does not currently expect to be treated as a PFIC for its current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, PFIC status is determined annually and depends on the composition of PubCo’s income and assets and the fair market value of its assets, and accordingly, due to the inherently factual nature of such determination, there can be no assurance with respect to PubCo’s status as a PFIC for its current taxable year or any future taxable year. In addition, PubCo’s U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to PubCo’s PFIC status for its current or future taxable years.

It is not entirely clear how various aspects of the PFIC rules apply to the PubCo Warrants. Section 1298(a)(4) of the Code provides that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, any person who has an option to acquire stock in a PFIC shall be considered to own such stock in the PFIC for purposes of the PFIC rules. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1298(a)(4) of the Code. However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1298(a)(4) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date (the “Proposed PFIC Option Regulations”). Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the possible application of the Proposed PFIC Option Regulations to an investment in the PubCo Warrants. Solely for discussion purposes, the following discussion assumes that the Proposed PFIC Option Regulations will apply to the PubCo Warrants.

If PubCo is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants and, in the case of PubCo Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder did not make either a timely mark-to-market election or a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election for PubCo’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) PubCo Ordinary Shares, as described below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants (which may include gain realized by reason of transfers of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants that would otherwise qualify as nonrecognition transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of

177

Table of Contents

the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the PubCo Ordinary Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, the portion of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares that preceded the taxable year of the distribution) (together, the “excess distribution rules”).

Under these excess distribution rules:

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants;
the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which PubCo is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;
the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder without regard to the U.S. Holder’s other items of income and loss for such year; and
an additional amount equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

In general, if PubCo is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may be able to avoid the excess distribution rules described above in respect to its PubCo Ordinary Shares (but, under current law, not the PubCo Warrants) by making a timely and valid QEF election (if eligible to do so) to include in income its pro rata share of PubCo’s net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which PubCo’s taxable year ends. A U.S. Holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.

If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to its PubCo Ordinary Shares in a year after PubCo’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) PubCo Ordinary Shares, then notwithstanding such QEF election, the excess distribution rules discussed above, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such U.S. Holder’s PubCo Ordinary Shares, unless the U.S. Holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules. Under one type of purging election, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold such PubCo Ordinary Shares at their fair market value and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of such purging election, the U.S. Holder will have additional basis (to the extent of any gain recognized on the deemed sale) and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, a new holding period in the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Under current law, a U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its PubCo Warrants to acquire PubCo Ordinary Shares. As a result, if a U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of such PubCo Warrants (other than upon exercise of such PubCo Warrants) and PubCo were a PFIC at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period of such PubCo Warrants, any gain recognized generally will be treated as an excess distribution, taxed as described above. If a U.S. Holder that exercises such PubCo Warrants properly makes and maintains a QEF election with respect to the newly acquired PubCo Ordinary Shares(or has previously made a QEF election with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares), the QEF election will apply to the newly acquired PubCo Ordinary Shares. Notwithstanding such QEF election, the excess distribution rules discussed above, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such newly acquired PubCo Ordinary Shares (which, while not entirely clear, generally will be deemed to have a holding period for purposes of the PFIC rules that includes the period the U.S. Holder held the PubCo Warrants), unless the U.S. Holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with

178

Table of Contents

the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from PubCo. PubCo has agreed to provide to former Artemis shareholders information that is reasonably required in order for such former shareholders to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, including a PFIC annual information statement, if PubCo determines it is a PFIC for any taxable year. However, there can be no assurance that PubCo will timely provide such required information with respect to any of its other investors.

If a U.S. Holder has made a QEF election with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares, and the excess distribution rules discussed above do not apply to such shares (because of a timely QEF election for PubCo’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such shares or a purge of the PFIC taint pursuant to a purging election, as described above), any gain recognized on the sale of PubCo Ordinary Shares generally will be taxable as capital gain and no additional interest charge will be imposed under the PFIC rules. As discussed above, if PubCo were a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares that has made a QEF election will be currently taxed on its pro rata share of PubCo’s earnings and profits, whether or not distributed for such year. A subsequent distribution of such earnings and profits that were previously included in income generally should not be taxable when distributed to such U.S. Holder. The tax basis of a U.S. Holder’s shares in a QEF will be increased by amounts that are included in income, and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends, under the above rules. In addition, if PubCo were not a PFIC for any taxable year, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the QEF inclusion regime with respect to its PubCo Ordinary Shares for such a taxable year.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) PubCo Ordinary Shares and for which PubCo were determined to be a PFIC, such U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to the excess distribution rules described above with respect to its PubCo Ordinary Shares. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its PubCo Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year over its adjusted basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares. These amounts of ordinary income would not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. The U.S. Holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its PubCo Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its PubCo Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income. Under current law, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to PubCo Warrants.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Nasdaq (on which PubCo intends to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares), or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. If made, a mark-to-market election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless the PubCo Ordinary Shares ceased to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS consented to the revocation of the election. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.

If PubCo were a PFIC and, at any time, have a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if PubCo receives a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of its interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the U.S. Holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. There can be no assurance that PubCo will have timely knowledge of the status of any lower-tier PFIC or provide information that may be required for a U.S. Holder to make or maintain a QEF election with respect to such lower-tier PFIC. In addition, PubCo may not hold a controlling interest in any such lower-tier PFIC and thus there can be no assurance PubCo will be able to cause the lower-tier PFIC to provide such required information. A mark-to-market election generally would not be available with respect to such lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

179

Table of Contents

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS.

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF, purging, and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants under their particular circumstances.

Tax Reporting

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to file an IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) to report a transfer of property (including cash) to PubCo. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with this reporting requirement, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. Furthermore, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals and certain entities will be required to report information with respect to such U.S. Holder’s investment in “specified foreign financial assets” on IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets), subject to certain exceptions. Specified foreign financial assets generally include any financial account maintained with a non-U.S. financial institution and should also include PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants if they are not held in an account maintained with a U.S. financial institution. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial penalties, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes may be extended in the event of a failure to comply. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset and other reporting obligations and their application to an investment in PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants.

Non-U.S. Holders

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of Artemis Securities, PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Warrants that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

a non-resident alien individual (other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates);
a foreign corporation; or
an estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder;

but generally does not include an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition of their Artemis Securities, PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants. Any such individual should consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to it of the Business Combination and of the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

Redemptions of Artemis Class A Common Stock

Subject to the discussion above under the heading “— U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger,” in particular, the discussion regarding the potential characterization of the Merger and the redemption as an integrated transaction under the heading “— Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger — U.S. Holders Participating in the Merger and in a Redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock,” the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of Artemis Class A Common Stock that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for all or a portion of its Artemis Class A Common Stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Artemis Class A Common Stock redeemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described above under “— U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.”

180

Table of Contents

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions

If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of Artemis Class A Common Stock, the Non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution, which, to the extent of Artemis’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, will be subject to withholding tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable).

Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Artemis Class A Common Stock and then, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of such Artemis Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described under “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock; Gain on Sale of Artemis Warrants” below. A redemption treated as a dividend by Artemis to a Non-U.S. Holder that is effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders.

In addition, if it is determined that Artemis is likely to be classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” (see “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock; Gain on Sale of Artemis Warrants” below), Artemis (or the applicable withholding agent) generally will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds its current and accumulated earnings and profits.

The withholding tax generally does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A corporate Non-U.S. Holder receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock; Gain on Sale of Artemis Warrants

Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, if a redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock qualifies as a sale of shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock or the Merger results in gain to a Non-U.S. Holder (as discussed below under “— Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of the Merger”), Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized upon the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock or sale of Artemis Warrants, unless either:

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder); or
Artemis is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the applicable Artemis Security, except, in the case where shares of the Artemis Class A Common Stock are “regularly traded on an established securities market” (within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations, referred to herein as “regularly traded”), (i) the Non-U.S. Holder is disposing of Artemis Class A Common Stock and has owned, whether actually or based on the application of constructive ownership rules, 5% or less of Artemis Class A Common Stock at all times within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition of Artemis Class A Common Stock or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Artemis Class A Common Stock or (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder is disposing of warrants and has owned, whether actually or based on the application of constructive ownership rules, 5% or less of the total fair market value of Artemis Warrants (provided Artemis Warrants are considered to be regularly traded) at all times within

181

Table of Contents

the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition of such Artemis Warrants or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Artemis Warrants. It is unclear how the rules for determining the 5% threshold for this purpose would be applied with respect to the Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants, including how a Non-U.S. Holder’s ownership of Artemis Warrants impacts the 5% threshold determination with respect to its Artemis Class A Common Stock and whether the 5% threshold determination with respect to the Artemis Warrants must be made with or without reference to the Private Placement Warrants. In addition, special rules may apply in the case of a disposition of Artemis Warrants if the Artemis Class A Common Stock is considered to be regularly traded, but the Artemis Warrants are not considered to be regularly traded. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances.

A Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point above will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax on the net gain derived from the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock or the Merger generally in the same manner as discussed in the section above under “— U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights — Treatment of Redemptions as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock,” unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. In addition, earnings and profits of a corporate Non-U.S. Holder that are attributable to such gain, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or at a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If the second bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such Non-U.S. Holder on the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock or the Merger will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, Artemis (or the applicable withholding agent) may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such redemption or the consummation of the Merger. Artemis will be classified as a USRPHC if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Artemis does not expect to be a USRPHC as of the Closing Date. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change and no assurance can be provided as to whether Artemis will be a USRPHC with respect to a Non-U.S. Holder.

IF YOU ARE A NON-U.S. HOLDER OF ARTEMIS CLASS A COMMON STOCK CONTEMPLATING EXERCISE OF YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of the Merger

The U.S. federal income tax characterization of the Merger to Non-U.S. Holder generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of the Merger to U.S. Holder, as described under “U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of the Merger” above, and if the Merger were to result in any gain with respect to the Non-U.S. Holder’s Artemis Class A Common Stock or Artemis Warrants, as the case may be, the tax consequences to the Non-U.S. Holder of such gain would correspond to those described above under the heading “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Sales of Artemis Class A Common Stock; Gain on Sale of Artemis Warrants” for a Non-U.S. Holder’s gain on the redemption of Artemis Class A Common Stock and/or the Merger.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants

Dividends (including, as described under “U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants — Possible Constructive Distributions,” above, constructive distributions treated as dividends) paid or deemed paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States).

In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States).

Dividends (including, as described under “U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants — Possible Constructive Distributions” above, constructive distributions treated as

182

Table of Contents

dividends) and gains that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a Non-U.S. Holder’s receipt of PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the exercise, lapse, or redemption of PubCo Warrants held by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the receipt of PubCo Ordinary Shares on exercise of PubCo Warrants, or upon a lapse or redemption of PubCo Warrants by a U.S. Holder, as described under “U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants — Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of PubCo Warrants” above, although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described above for a Non-U.S. Holder’s gain on the sale or other disposition of PubCo Warrants.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock and Artemis Warrants will be (and PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants may be) subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding generally will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder if the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient or the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding. A Non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a U.S. tax treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Holder will be allowed as a credit against such Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding Taxes

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on Artemis Class A Common Stock to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by United States persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Thirty percent withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury Regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury Regulations. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in Artemis Securities.

Material United Kingdom Tax Considerations

Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax

The stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax, or “SDRT”, treatment of the issue and transfer of, and the agreement to transfer, PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants outside a depositary receipt system or a clearance service are discussed in the paragraphs under “General” below. The stamp duty and SDRT treatment of such transactions into and within such systems are discussed in the

183

Table of Contents

paragraphs under “Depositary Receipt Systems and Clearance Services” below. The discussion under the headings below applies to transactions undertaken by any holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants (as the case may be).

General

No stamp duty or SDRT will arise on the issue of PubCo Ordinary Shares in registered form by PubCo (including on exercise of PubCo Warrants).

An agreement to transfer PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants will normally give rise to a charge to SDRT at the rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration payable for the transfer (or, in certain circumstances and if it is higher, the market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be transferred in accordance with the relevant agreement). SDRT is, in general, payable by the purchaser.

Instruments transferring PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants will generally be subject to stamp duty at the rate of 0.5% of the consideration (or, in certain circumstances and if it is higher, the market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares transferred by way of the relevant instrument) given for the transfer (rounded up to the next £5). The purchaser normally pays the stamp duty.

If a duly stamped transfer completing an agreement to transfer is produced within six years of the date on which the agreement is made (or, if the agreement is conditional, the date on which the agreement becomes unconditional) any SDRT already paid is generally repayable, normally with interest, and any SDRT charge yet to be paid is canceled.

Depositary Receipt Systems and Clearance Services

Where PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants are issued or transferred (i) to, or to a nominee or an agent for, a person whose business is or includes the provision of clearance services or (ii) to, or to a nominee or an agent for, a person whose business is or includes issuing depositary receipts, SDRT or stamp duty will, subject as described below, generally be payable at the higher rate of 1.5% of the amount or value of the consideration given or, in certain circumstances, the value of the shares.

Following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s decision in C-569/07 HSBC Holdings Plc, Vidacos Nominees Limited v The Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs and the First-tier Tax Tribunal decision in HSBC Holdings Plc and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation v. The Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs, HMRC has published guidance stating that 1.5% SDRT is no longer payable when new shares are issued to a clearance service or depositary receipt system. HMRC’s published guidance confirms that this remains HMRC’s position following the transition period which expired on December 31, 2020 after the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. In certain circumstances, there may also be no charge to stamp duty or SDRT on the transfer of PubCo Ordinary Shares into a clearance service or depositary receipt system. Shareholders should accordingly seek their own advice before paying or accepting such charge.

Except in relation to transfers or agreements to transfer within clearance services that have made an election under Section 97A(1) of the Finance Act of 1986, no stamp duty or SDRT is payable in respect of transfers or agreements to transfer within clearance services or depositary receipt systems. Accordingly, no stamp duty or SDRT should, in practice, be required to be paid in respect of transfers or agreements to transfer PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants within the facilities of DTC.

Any liability for stamp duty or SDRT in respect of any transfer into a clearance service or depositary receipt system, or in respect of a transfer within any clearance service or depositary receipt system, which does arise will strictly be accountable by the clearance service or depositary receipt system operator or their nominee, as the case may be, but will, in practice, be payable by the participants in the clearance service or depositary receipt system.

A non-statutory, pre-transaction clearance is being sought from HMRC to confirm that no stamp duty or SDRT will be chargeable in respect of the issue of PubCo Ordinary Shares (including on exercise of PubCo Warrants) or PubCo Warrants to a person whose business includes (i) the provision of clearance services or their nominee or agent, or (ii) issuing depositary receipts or their nominee or an agent, or the subsequent transfer of Artemis Common Stock or Artemis Warrants between persons referred to in (i) and (ii) above, in each case in the context of the transactions contemplated as part of the Business Combination. However, there can be no assurance nor any guarantees that such non-statutory, pre-transaction clearance from HMRC will be obtained.

Overview

Novibet is a vertically-integrated online gambling operator offering a full suite of online gaming and sports betting products across desktop and mobile channels. Novibet’s award-winning, highly scalable proprietary technology supports its online gaming products, which feature over 5,000 casino games from over 100 content providers, which are further complemented by over 220 live table games including Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat. Novibet’s sports betting operations offer (i) a seamless and competitive betting experience on more than 25,000 live sporting events per month in over 20 different sports, and (ii) virtual sports betting developed in the absence of live sporting events during the COVID-19 pandemic. Novibet commenced operations in 2011. Novibet operates out of its offices in Malta and Greece.

Novibet employs a fully integrated approach to its product. Novibet’s proprietary technology platform provides for a virtual cycle of value creation and product optimization.

Products

Casino

The “casino vertical” is considered Novibet’s flagship product, and the product which helped the Company to establish the Novibet brand in the online gambling market in multiple European countries. With over 5,000 casino games from more than 100 content suppliers and a dedicated live casino environment, which includes recently launched branded live tables, Novibet’s customers have access to one of the largest portfolios of casino games in the industry.

The European online gaming market is heavily sportsbook-orientated. Because of its array of product offerings, over the past four years, Novibet was able to achieve direct deals with casino suppliers licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (“MGA”), the Hellenic Gaming Commission (“HGC”) and the Agenzia Delle Dogane e Dei Monopoli (“ADM”), offering a one-stop shop casino to its customer base. Novibet’s efforts in certain European markets were greatly helped by aggregator systems, such as those provided by Iforium, SG Digital and Microgaming, allowing Novibet to provide customers with more content online quickly, via a single integration. This proved pivotal in building market share in the online gaming market in the countries in which Novibet operates.

Through its casino vertical, Novibet customers have access to a broad variety of games, including games provided by gaming software companies Playtech, Skywind, NetEnt, RedTiger, Pragmatic Play, Inspired, Play n’ Go, Novomatic, Microgaming, Relax,

IGT, SG Digital, Yggdrasil and many more. In addition, customers can choose from a variety of themes, including classic, fruits, Egyptian, branded, ancient Greek mythology, and diamond.

Further, Novibet offers jackpots, tournaments, and other competitions, allowing customers to have access to larger prizes than standard play.

NoviLadies

Novibet is the first online gaming provider to develop and offer a dedicated casino page directed toward female customers, with its “NoviLadies” product. Novibet developed the product, featuring a slots portfolio that more closely matches women’s play than traditional portfolios, from customer-based behavioral research and analysis performed by internal management. Customer feedback received has exceeded the Company’s expectations. The concept was so welcomed by the industry that a competitor launched its own female-friendly land-based casino in Greece. This differentiated offering, with tailor-made content, targeting the female casino player, materially expands the total market opportunity for Novibet. With 32% of bettors in the U.S. market being female, which Novibet management believes is an underserved consumer group both in Europe and the U.S., female bettors are a prime target group as we look to grow our presence in the U.S.

Sportsbook

The Company’s sportsbook product currently offers more than 25,000 live betting events to its customers on a monthly basis. Novibet’s sportsbook offers considerable product depth, covering the vast majority of tournaments and events, from the most popular leagues in soccer and basketball, to the lowest tier of the ATP Challenger Tour in tennis, to niche sports such as local water polo, cricket and darts leagues.

Novibet’s pre-match trading teams manage the full lifecycle of a single event, from 15 days prior to kick-off until the very last second before the event is handed to our live trading team. Depending on the popularity of the event, our traders price as many as 600 markets, for a single event, along with other special markets, “fun bets” and of course outright or “long-term” markets for the tournament.

The sportsbook teams trade over 400,000 events, from dozens of sports, in the pre-match betting environment with more than 300,000 events handled to the live betting environment, subject to the coverage capability of our data partners.

Novibet tailors its offerings for each jurisdiction where the brand is present. For example, basketball, which is the second most popular sport in Greece and a very important asset for the Italian market, is supported in those markets by an in-house basketball trading model which allows Novibet traders to fine-tune odds, partnerships with the top official data providers such as IMG and Sportradar who provide consistent quality and high speed, enables us to provide superior streaming coverage for live betting events to our customers.

Novibet’s sportsbook offerings include American football in a live betting environment. After entering into an agreement on June 11, 2021 with Betgenius, Ltd., the official National Football League (“NFL”) data rights holder, our trading teams are now able to deploy, based on the resources being provided by Betgenius, data and odds feeds for in-play betting. Additionally, the Novibet NFL product not only provides streaming capability, but will be able to provide advanced visualization content to present player statistics in customer-friendly graphs on our website. It will also serve as media inventory on the NFL’s digital platforms for our marketing purposes.

Horse racing is offered in Ireland. Novibet’s horse-racing offering is facilitated by an in-house trading team dedicated to making odds for horse-racing. This team is supported by partnerships with industry leaders such as Press Association, RacingPost and AllSported, in addition to direct agreements with the holders of rights for the provision of data and streaming access, Racecourse Media Group and Arena Racing Company. Novibet plans to further enhance its sportsbook offerings with the addition of greyhound racing, international horse-racing markets, additional streaming content, and customer engagement products. Novibet expects that these enhancements will allow it to offer a competitive horse-racing product.

Live Casino

During the past two years, Novibet’s “live casino” product has been considered its emerging vertical. The live casino product is designed to build a loyal customer base among customers looking for an online casino with a “real” casino feel. Live casino offerings allow customers to play a different type of game in an interactive environment, with friendly hosts. Novibet offers all of this, combined with its aggressive bonusing and engagement strategy.

Initially, the live casino product included tables and games from tier 1 live casino providers, Evolution, NetEnt and Authentic. The addition of other smaller providers has increased Novibet’s offer of a wider range of roulette, blackjack, baccarat and game show rooms, which differentiated Novibet’s product offering.

Novibet experienced significant growth in its live casino offering after reaching an agreement with Playtech to fully integrate its content in October 2020. The Playtech agreement allowed Novibet to greatly increase its product offering with tables and rooms, such as Deal or No Deal, The Big Draw, Spin a Win, Quantum roulette and blackjack in addition to a Greek network roulette table.

Shortly before the 2020 Christmas season, Playtech launched three Novibet-branded tables: one roulette table and two blackjack tables, which Novibet made available to its customers. These product offerings are hosted in a dedicated space in Playtech’s studios in Romania, through which live casino games are offered. This product offering is focused on creating an elegant, first-class experience for Novibet customers.

In addition, Novibet was granted a license to offer Bingo by MGA in September 2021. Novibet is offering Pragmatic Play’s award-winning Bingo product in Ireland.

Planned Offerings

Novibet is currently working on launching a new product offering, Poker, which it expects to add during the second half of 2022. Poker is already covered under and Logflex MT’s current license issued by the MGA and Novibet’s current licenses issued by the HGC, and can be offered to Novibet’s Greek customers upon a notification to the HGC. In order to facilitate the roll-out of the Poker product, Novibet has already entered into an agreement with Playtech as content provider for this product, as Playtech already has access to the Greek market. Gaming operators such as Bet365 and Netbet are already part of the Playtech network, creating a strong network of players.

Novibet believes that games such as Bingo will prove to be beneficial offerings in the event that jurisdictions adopt max bet/spin restrictions. Bingo is a lower stake, quick game, where the average bet is typically between 1€-2€. Given that small bet size, Novibet believes that Bingo will flourish in jurisdictions where stake restrictions apply or in jurisdictions where bettors are familiar with game concepts such as Keno (popular in Greece) or Lotto (popular throughout Europe).

Proprietary Online Gaming and Sports Betting Platform

Novibet’s proprietary technology platform is highly scalable and robust. This is underpinned by its proven ability to enter new competitive gaming markets rapidly and take market share. The platform is cloud based and in partnership with Azure enhances scalability, security, resilience and availability. The majority of sports betting and online casino operators rely on third party

The Online Gaming and Sports Betting Market in Europe

Malta.   H2 Gambling Capital estimates that in 2021 the Maltese online market was worth US$73.1 million in gross revenues, which consists of US$49.2 million for online sports betting and US$23.9 million for online casino betting (casino, poker and bingo). This represents a 31% increase from 2020 in the overall Maltese online market size.

Italy.   Total gross gaming revenue (“GGR”) generated in Italy during 2021 was estimated at about US$16.5 billion (includes retail and online). The Italian gaming market is dominated by retail betting, however this has been impacted in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to H2 Gambling Capital, iGaming (casino, poker and bingo) was the largest portion of the Italian online gaming market, generating 56.4% of 2021 Italian online GGR (Italian online GGR: US$4.5bn). In a year disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Italian online gaming market was able to increase its footprint, clearly showcasing the huge growth dynamic of the jurisdiction. Prior to 2020, the Italian gambling market had been heavily land-based.

Greece.    Total GGR generated in Greece during 2021 was estimated at about US$2.6 billion (includes retail and online). According to H2 Gambling Capital, in 2021 the Greek online gaming market made up 49.2% of the total market and within the online market, iGaming (casino, poker and bingo) made up 50.9% of the total online market; online casino alone made up 44.1% of the Greek online gaming market in 2021, up from 26.5% in 2016, and online poker made up 4.0% of the Greek online Gaming market.

Poker was not clearly regulated in Greece prior to the 2020 legislation, but as a result of the 2020 legislation, is now expressly regulated. As a result, the HGC prohibits all non-licensed online poker websites access to Greek customers, causing Greek customers to turn to the licensed providers such as Novibet. As a result, we expect that the size of the market for online poker in Greece to grow in the foreseeable future.

Ireland.   Total GGR generated in Ireland during 2021 was estimated at about US$1.6 billion (includes retail and online). In 2021 the Irish online gaming market made up 57.0% of the total market and within the online market, iGaming (casino, poker and bingo) made up 55.2% of the total online market. (All data based on H2 Gambling Capital data).

The Online Gaming and Sports Betting Market in U.S. and Canada

The U.S. & Canada online gambling markets represents an enormous opportunity for Novibet. H2 Gambling Capital estimates that the U.S. and Canadian markets could be a combined $37 billion (GGR) opportunity by 2026 across sports betting and online gaming.

North American Gaming Industry

Novibet views the U.S. market as a key focus in its strategy to expand its offering worldwide, amongst others. The U.S. market is already one of the largest online gaming markets worldwide with a long history of land-based casino operations. Whilst overall online gaming penetration across the country is relatively low compared to other more mature markets, Novibet hopes to be able to position itself such that it can benefit from the growth of the U.S. as a major online gaming market.

U.S. Online Casino Wagering

At present, online casino wagering is legal and operational in fewer states than sports wagering (see table below). Online casino wagering is currently legal and operational in Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, Nevada (Poker only), New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Novibet believes that the U.S. online casino market will continue to expand into a market that is larger than the U.S. online sports wagering market given the vast U.S. retail land-based casino market that generated over $43bn in revenue in the first 11 months of 2021, according to the American Gaming Association.

Online casino wagering was first launched in New Jersey in Q4 2013. The chart below highlights the growth of slot and table games revenue in New Jersey from 2014 through 2021.

The chart below highlights the growth of slot and table games revenue in Pennsylvania since Q4 2019. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, numerous states began to consider legalizing online casino wagering in order to generate incremental state tax revenues despite a majority of states previously being unwilling to legalize online casino wagering.

U.S. Sports Wagering

On May 14, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that PAPSA was unconstitutional, thereby allowing states to enact their own sports wagering laws. Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, 33 states and the District of Columbia have legalized sports wagering (both retail and online). Of those 34 jurisdictions, 23 allow for statewide online wagering while 11 remain retail-only at casinos or retail locations. As of January 2022, those 34 jurisdictions account for approximately 61% of the U.S. population per the U.S. Census

Only 43% of the U.S. currently has access to legal online sports wagering, per Eilers & Krejcik Gaming LLC. This fact is significant when one considers that, according to Eilers & Krejcik Gaming LLC, 89% of all sports wagering handle across the U.S. came from the online channel in December 2021, and states such as California and Texas still have not legalized online sports wagering. Consequently, Novibet believes that the U.S. sports wagering market has significant room for growth over the coming years as more states legalize online sports wagering as well as other states continuing to mature. According to American Gaming Association research. 31.4 million American adults plan to bet a combined $7.61 billion on the Super Bowl LVI matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals — a clear indicator of the recent increase in adoption in online sports wagering across the U.S.

If every U.S. state were to legalize online casino wagering, based on state level projections from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming LLC, it is projected that the U.S. market would generate approximately $29 billion in annual revenue at maturity.

If every U.S. state were to legalize online sports wagering, based on state level projections from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming LLC, it is projected that the U.S. market would generate approximately $22 billion in annual revenue at maturity.

Canadian Gaming Industry

Novibet views the Canadian market as another key focus in its strategy to expand its offering across North America. In August 2021, the Canadian Federal Government enacted the Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act, which would make single-event sports betting legal across the country but, much like the U.S., each Canadian province will be responsible for regulating single-event sports betting. Ontario, which is regulated by iGaming Ontario (iGO), has announced that commercial operators will be able to offer online sports betting and gambling from 4th April 2022 with unlimited licenses for operators available. Eilers & Krejcik Gaming LLC estimates that Ontario will make up 50% of the total Canadian online sports and online casino & poker GGR in 2026. At present, other provinces such as Quebec and British Columbia have single sports betting provided by their respective province lottery company (Loto-Quebec and British Columbia Lottery Corporation).

Canada Online Gaming 2026 Market Size Estimates

H2 Gambling Capital estimates that the Canadian market will generate US$1.3 billion in online sports GGR and $2.9 billion in online casino and poker GGR in 2026, representing a total estimated market size of US$4.2 billion in 2026.

Mexico Gaming Industry

The Mexican gambling market has been regulated since 2004 and is considered to be legal and regulated under the scope of the Regulation of the Federal Gaming and Raffles Law, which includes online sports betting, iGaming, poker and bingo.

According to H2 Gambling Capital, the Mexican market has been growing across retail and online gambling over recent years due to increased purchasing power of local consumers. Recent online growth has been driven by growing mobile adoption and digital banking and the COVID-19 pandemic also accelerated the trend of digital adoption across industries, including gambling and there remains significant whitespace for further online gambling growth. Online gambling is benefiting from pent up demand caused by land-based supply constraints and a shift from offline to online channels. A greater proportion of online revenues will shift to fully regulated revenues as the market matures.

Competitive Advantages

We believe there are several things that set Novibet apart from competitors, including its established brand, proprietary technology, product depth and breadth, operating margins, and experienced management team.

Established Brand

Novibet commenced online gaming operations in 2011, and its brand is well-established in the Greek market.

196

Table of Contents

Proprietary Technology

Novibet is one of the few online gambling operators in the industry with its own platform and proprietary technology for both online casino and sports betting. Our platform provides player account management, web services, native applications development, payments middleware, casino content management and hosting, sportsbook data aggregation and algorithmic betting offer generation, risk and fraud management, know-your-customer (KYC) and customer support platforms, Responsible Gaming and anti-money laundering systems, client relations management, search engine optimization, continuous and redundant development operations (DevOps), and database optimizations. This platform has been used since the inception of the Novibet business. Novibet earned two prestigious awards in 2020 for the platform: “Best In-House product” at the EGR Operator Virtual Awards 2020, and “Best Mobile Operator App” at the SBC Awards 2020. Novibet also earned the award for “Innovation in Casino” at the EGR Marketing and Innovation Virtual Awards 2020 and earned two additional awards at the EGR Marketing and Innovation Awards 2022: “Best CRM Campaign” and “Best Use of Brand Ambassador.” This ownership of its technology has allowed Novibet to focus on innovation and has allowed the business to be more agile than the industry in reacting to regulatory and customer requirements.

Product depth and breadth

Novibet offers considerable product depth and breadth where customers can choose from over 25,000 live sports betting events across 20 different sports and from over 5,000 casino game titles from over 100 integrated games providers. This breadth and depth of product not only keeps customers engaged but is reflected in the superior retention rates experienced by Novibet as compared to other operators. These retention rates allow Novibet to generate strong lifetime values which in turn allows for further investment in marketing spend.

Improving operating margins from a scaling business

Novibet is a fast growing business, where high customer retention rates combined with quick payback on customer acquisition costs provide a catalyst for improving operating margin on achieving further scale. This business is primed to benefit from strong operational leverage as the audience scales due to the ownership of technology.

Customer centric approach

Novibet has a comprehensive customer support team, which allows Novibet to focus on the individual and deliver a highly relevant and entertaining experience for each customer. Novibet believes this is essential to maintaining strong retention rates and allowing for profitable customer acquisition.

A management team with considerable online gaming and betting experience

Novibet is led by a highly experienced management team with extensive experience in online betting and gaming and a strong track record of creating value for shareholders. This team is supported by industry professionals focused on operations and technology. The leading team has come from some of the largest companies in the gaming industry and have a focus on innovation and an attention to detail. See “Management of PubCo Following the Business Combination” for more information.

Leading Unit Economics & KPI’s

In addition to IFRS and Non-IFRS financial measures, we regularly review several metrics, including the following key performance indicators (“KPIs”), to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. The numbers for our KPIs are calculated using internal company data as described below. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage of our platform across large online and mobile populations around the world. The methodologies used to measure these metrics require significant judgment. Increases or decreases in our KPIs may not correspond with increases or decreases in our revenue. Additionally, refer to our “Risk Factors” section for general notes regarding risks associated with assumptions and estimates used in calculating our KPIs.

Table of Contents

First Month Retention Rate

Novibet’s management defines first month retention rate as the percentage of customers that are active in the period 31 to 62 days following their first deposit. Activity is determined as any bet placement or iGaming interaction with real money.

The business has achieved an average first month retention rate for new active customers in 2020 of 69%, underpinned by our product and customer knowledge.

O - Circle indicates days to break even from a player’s First Time Deposit

Payback Average Time

Payback average means the time period to recover the cost per acquisition of a first-time depositor (“CPA”) from cumulative customer revenue from such first-time depositor. CPA is calculated as total marketing costs allocated to acquisition and retention divided by the number of first-time customer depositors. Breakeven is defined as the time period to recover CPA from cumulative customer revenue KPIs. Novibet achieves positive player economics, with payback average time under two months and an average return on investment (“ROI”) of 2.5x. as calculated by dividing LTV (defined in Note 2 below) by CPA. The Lifetime Value (“LTV”) divided by CPA ratio, for year 2021 is 3.8x.

Graphic

1.Breakeven is defined as the time period to recover CPA from cumulative customer revenue.
2.Player lifetime value (“LTV”) is calculated as average revenue per user (monthly GGR) multiplied by a 24-month retention rate, the result of which reflects the percentage of players who remain active in Novibet’s database during such 24-month period. The player LTV is higher when the 24-month retention rate is higher.

198

Table of Contents

3.ROI is calculated as GGR minus marketing cost the result of which is divided by marketing cost. Marketing costs is calculated as all marketing expenses excluding the marketing tools used for operations.

Regulation

Novibet is subject to various laws and regulations that affect our ability to operate in the online gaming and sports betting industries. These industries are generally subject to extensive and evolving regulations that could change based on political and social norms and that could be interpreted in ways that could negatively impact our business.

The gaming industry, inclusive of our online gaming and sports betting product offerings, is highly regulated, and we must maintain licenses and pay gaming taxes or a percentage of revenue in each jurisdiction from which we operate in order to continue our operations. Our business is subject to extensive regulation under the laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions from which we operate. These laws, rules and regulations generally concern the responsibility, financial stability, integrity and character of the owners, managers and persons with material financial interests in the gaming operations along with the integrity and security of the online gaming and sports betting product offering. Violations of laws or regulations in one jurisdiction could result in disciplinary action in that and other jurisdictions.

Gaming laws are generally based upon declarations of public policy designed to protect gaming consumers and the viability and integrity of the gaming industry. Gaming laws also may be designed to protect and maximize state and local tax revenues, as well as to enhance economic development and tourism. To accomplish these public policy goals, gaming laws establish stringent procedures to ensure that participants in the gaming industry meet certain standards of character and responsibility.

Among other things, gaming laws require gaming industry participants to:

ensure that unsuitable individuals and organizations have no role in gaming operations;
establish procedures designed to prevent cheating and fraudulent practices;
establish and maintain anti-money laundering practices and procedures;
establish and maintain responsible accounting practices and procedures;
maintain effective controls over their financial practices, including establishing minimum procedures for internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of assets and revenues;
maintain systems for reliable record keeping;
file periodic reports with gaming regulators;
establish programs to promote responsible gaming; and
enforce minimum age requirements.

Typically, a state regulatory environment is established by statute and underlying regulations and is administered by one or more regulatory agencies, usually a gaming commission or state or national lottery, which regulates the affairs of owners, managers and persons with financial interests in gaming operations. Among other things, gaming authorities in the various jurisdictions in which we conduct our business:

adopt rules and regulations under the implementing statutes;
interpret and enforce gaming laws and regulations;
impose fines and penalties for violations;

199

Table of Contents

review the character and fitness of participants in gaming operations and make determinations regarding their suitability or qualification for licensure;
grant licenses for participation in gaming operations;
collect and review reports and information submitted by participants in gaming operations;
review and approve certain transactions, which may include acquisitions or change-of-control transactions of gaming industry participants and securities offerings and debt transactions engaged in by such participants; and
establish and collect fees and taxes in jurisdictions where applicable.

While we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable online gaming and sports betting laws, licenses and regulatory requirements, we cannot assure that our activities or the activities of our customers will not become the subject of any regulatory or law enforcement investigation, proceeding or other governmental action, or that any such proceeding or action, as the case may be, would not have a material adverse impact on us or our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Licensing and Suitability Determinations

In order to operate in certain jurisdictions, we must obtain either a temporary or permanent license or determination of suitability from the responsible authorities. We seek to ensure that we obtain all necessary licenses to develop and put forth our offerings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and where our customers are located.

Gaming laws require us, and each of our subsidiaries engaged in gaming operations, as well as certain of our directors, officers and employees, and in some cases, certain of our shareholders, to obtain licenses from gaming authorities. Licenses typically require a determination that the applicant qualifies or is suitable to hold the license. Where not mandated by statute, rule or regulation, gaming authorities typically have broad discretion in determining who must apply for a license or finding of suitability and whether an applicant qualifies for licensing or should be deemed suitable to conduct operations within a given jurisdiction. When determining to grant a license to an applicant, gaming authorities generally consider: (i) the financial stability, integrity and responsibility of the applicant (including verification of the applicant’s sources of funding); (ii) the quality and security of the applicant’s online real-money gaming platform, hardware and related software, including the platform’s ability to operate in compliance with local regulations, as applicable; (iii) the applicant’s history; (iv) the applicant’s ability to operate its gaming business in a socially responsible manner; and (v) in certain circumstances, the effect on competition.

Gaming authorities may, subject to certain administrative procedural requirements, (i) deny an application, or limit, condition, revoke or suspend any license issued by them; (ii) impose fines, either on a mandatory basis or as a consensual settlement of regulatory action; (iii) demand that named individuals or shareholders be disassociated from a gaming business; and (iv) in serious cases, liaise with local prosecutors to pursue legal action, which may result in civil or criminal penalties.

Events that may trigger revocation of a gaming license or another form of sanction vary by jurisdiction. However, typical events include, among others: (i) conviction in any jurisdiction of certain persons with an interest in, or key personnel of, the licensee of an offense that is punishable by imprisonment or may otherwise cast doubt on such person’s integrity; (ii) failure without reasonable cause to comply with any material term or condition of the gaming license; (iii) declaration of, or otherwise engaging in, certain bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or discontinuance activities, or an order or application with respect to the same; (iv) obtaining the gaming license by a materially false or misleading representation or in some other improper way; (v) violation of applicable anti-money laundering or terrorist financing laws or regulations; (vi) failure to meet commitments to customers, including social responsibility commitments; (vii) failure to pay in a timely manner all gaming or betting taxes or fees due; or (viii) determination by the gaming authority that there is another material and sufficient reason to revoke or impose another form of sanction upon the licensee.

As noted above, in addition to us and our direct and indirect subsidiaries engaged in gaming operations, gaming authorities generally also have the right to investigate individuals or entities having a material relationship to, or material involvement with, us or any of our subsidiaries, to determine whether such individual or entity is suitable as a business associate. Specifically, as part of our obtaining online gaming and sportsbook licenses, certain of our officers, directors, and employees and in some cases, certain of our

shareholders (typically, beneficial owners of more than 5% of a company’s outstanding equity, with most jurisdictions providing that “institutional investors” (as defined by a particular jurisdiction) can seek a waiver of these requirements) must file applications with the gaming authorities and may be required to be licensed or to qualify or be found suitable in many jurisdictions. Qualification and suitability determinations generally require the submission of extensive and detailed personal and financial disclosures followed by a thorough investigation. The applicant must pay all the costs of the investigation. Changes with respect to the individuals who occupy licensed positions must be reported to gaming authorities and in addition to the authority to deny an application for licensure, qualification, or a finding of suitability, gaming authorities have jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a corporate position. If any director, officer, employee or significant shareholder is found unsuitable (including due to the failure to submit required documentation) by a gaming authority, we may deem it necessary, or be required, to sever our relationship with such person. Furthermore, PubCo’s Restated Articles provides that any capital stock of PubCo owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates will be transferred to either PubCo or one or more third-party transferees, in such number and class(es)/series as determined by the PubCo Board in good faith, following consultation with reputable outside gaming regulatory counsel, pursuant to a resolution adopted by the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the disinterested members of the PubCo Board.

Generally, any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a license within the prescribed period after being advised that it is required by gaming authorities may be denied a license or found unsuitable, as applicable. Furthermore, we may be subject to disciplinary action or our licenses may be in peril if, after we receive notice that a person is unsuitable to be a stockholder or to have any other relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries, we: (i) pay that person any dividend or interest upon our voting securities; (ii) allow that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through securities held by that person; (iii) pay remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise; or (iv) fail to pursue all lawful efforts to require such unsuitable person to relinquish his voting securities.

Our Licenses

We maintain licenses in Malta, Italy, Greece and Ireland and intend to apply for additional licenses as we continue to expand our business.

Italy

Regulatory Framework.  Online gambling is subject to a patchwork regulatory and licensing regime in Italy. Licenses are granted for specified terms, during specific application window periods. The most recent application submission window ended in March 2018 and the last corresponding licenses issued during 2019. Licenses issued during that window last until December 2022. As stated in Italy’s 2020 Budget Law, there will be 40 new licenses available for online gambling during a new submission window, expected to begin during 2022, in which operators will apply for a nine-year license with a starting price of €2.5 million. These licenses will be non-renewable. However, the Italian gambling authority (ADM) has not launched yet the new tender for Italian online gambling licenses and in case the award of the online gambling licenses will not occur before the end of 2022 it is presumable that a new extension shall be required.

New regulations and restrictions are added to the Italian regulatory framework from time to time, on a piecemeal basis. During 2020, for example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Italian government imposed a temporary additional sports betting tax of 0.5% on turnover generated by bets, net of other gambling taxes due, applicable until December 31, 2021.

Novibet holds a license in Italy through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Iflex Limited. Novibet began offering access to Italian customers in February 2021 through “Exalogic”, a 3d party platform provider specialized in Italian regulation and compliance requirements. Currently, Novibet only offers products in the online casino and sports betting verticals to Italian customers, however it plans to add poker and bingo products during the first six months of 2022, and to increase the suite of online casino products offered.

Marketing Restrictions.  In August 2018, the Italian government approved a “Dignity Decree” which included several measures to combat what it termed “pathological gambling”. The Dignity Decree was a blanket ban on advertisement and sponsorship opportunities for online casinos beginning January 1, 2019. The ban on advertising relating to sports did not take effect until July 14, 2019, to allow time for ongoing agreements to conclude. The restrictions include:

Banning any advertising relating to games with cash winnings and gambling, including advertising performed on any channel, from TV and radio to billboards and sport venues. This includes physical banners, promotions, or targeted advertising.
Banning any sponsorship agreements relating to events, activities, programs or services and any other type of communication of promotional content, including visual or sound messages, display of names, trademarks, symbols, activities or products of gambling and games with cash winnings.
Requiring any advertisement to refer to issues deriving from games with cash winnings as “disorders from gambling”.

The Dignity Decree was interpreted by the Italian guidelines on advertising of games with cash winnings issued by the Italian Communication Authority (AgCom), which is the authority in charge for the enforcement of the provisions contained therein. The adopted guidelines are intended to provide interpretative clarifications to companies regarding the applicative effects of these prohibitions within the primary regulatory framework of reference. In particular, the following communications are considered admissible

the mere communications that maintain an exclusive descriptive, informative and identifying purpose of the legal gaming offer, functional to allow an informed gaming choice, such as by way of example, the information that is made available on the gaming sites or in the physical gaming points, concerning the odds, the jackpot, the probability of winning, the minimum bets, any bonuses offered, provided that they are carried out in compliance with the principles of continence, non-deceptiveness, transparency and absence of promotional emphasis;
information, issued at the request of the customer — if strictly pertinent to the customer’s request and functional to allowing informed gaming choices — regarding the functioning and characteristics of the gaming service, or the existence of new products or services; and
information services of comparison of odds or commercial offers of different competitors (e.g. odds spaces);
the use of the brand that identifies, in addition to the gaming services with cash or gambling winnings, further activities, having an autonomous character, provided there is no ambiguity about the object of the promotion and in this there are no evocative elements of the game except for the mere name of the supplier;
business-to-business commercial communications;
cause-related communications, such as campaign promoting social or charitable project without displaying brand and logo of the operator (aimed at associating a company’s brand with social and ethical initiatives);
the organization of paid gaming fairs directed exclusively at sector operators;
corporate social responsibility communications without displaying a brand or logo.

Market Size.  H2 Gambling Capital estimates that in 2021 the Italian online market was worth US$4.3 billion in gross revenues (excluding lottery), which consists of US$1.8 billion for online sports betting and US$2.5 billion for online casino betting (casino, poker and bingo). This represents a 75% increase from 2019 and a 37% increase from 2020 in the overall Italian online market size. Italy’s online gaming market has been transformed since the COVID-19 pandemic with a large portion of its vast land-based gaming market switching to online as a result of numerous extended lockdowns.

Malta

Regulatory Framework.  In Malta, online gaming and sports betting is subject to the Gaming Act 2018 (Chapter 583 of the laws of Malta) and the regulations and directives promulgated thereunder, and is regulated by the MGA. Malta was one of the first markets in the EU to regulate gambling, and has been a proponent of the freedom of movement of gaming services across borders within the EU.

Additionally, Malta’s regulatory framework enables other EU and EEA operators to obtain a recognition notice to operate freely in or from Malta on the basis of their EU or EEA license. As a result, Malta has become an increasingly popular hub for online betting and gaming businesses.

There is currently no restriction on the number of licenses that the MGA can grant and no restrictions on the number of operators that can apply for licenses. There are two main categories of licenses envisaged under Maltese gaming regulations: (a) a gaming service license (that is a business-to-consumer license to offer or carry out a gaming service); and (b) a critical gaming supply license (that is a business-to-business license to provide or carry out a critical gaming supply). Both types of licenses are issued for a period of 10 years and may be renewed for further periods of 10 years. Moreover, a gaming service or a critical gaming supply shall constitute any one or more of the following game types:

Type 1: Games of chance played against the house where the outcome is determined by a random number generator;
Type 2: Games of chance played against the house where the outcome is not generated randomly, but is determined by the result of an event or competition extraneous to a game of chance, and whereby the operator manages his/her own risk by managing the odds offered to the player;
Type 3: Games of chance not played against the house and wherein the operator is not exposed to gaming risk, but generates revenue by taking a commission or other charge based on the stakes or the prize, and shall include player versus player games and other commission-based games;
Type 4: Controlled skill games (currently the only type of game which is licensable as a type 4 ‘controlled skill game’ is fantasy sports).

Every licensee is required to appoint a number of key persons to be vested with responsibility for carrying out important functions, roles and tasks in connection with the gaming service or gaming supply in question. The appointment of these persons can only be made pursuant to the attainment of a key function certificate from the MGA (“Key Function Holder License”). However, the type and number of persons required to hold said certificates varies depending on the type of license held.

Novibet holds its Malta license through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Logflex MT Limited (“Logflex MT”). Logflex MT’s Malta license currently permits it to offer Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 gaming services. The Malta license, in its current form, was issued in July 2019 and expires in February 2028. We rely upon our Malta license to conduct online gaming operations not only in Malta, but also in certain other EU Member States where the Malta license is recognized and the provision of services on the basis of the Malta license is permitted.

Marketing Restrictions.  In 2019, the MGA formed a committee, the Commercial Communications Committee and issued a new set of gambling advertising guidelines, the Commercial Communications Committee Guidelines on the interpretation of the Commercial Communications Regulations (Subsidiary Legislation 583.09). The committee was formed for the purpose of ensuring that the aforementioned regulations are being adhered to, to review commercial communications brought to its attention and assess any possible breaches of these regulations. Some of the requirements which commercial communications must conform with in terms of the Commercial Communications Regulations include:

Prohibition on targeting self-excluded users, minors or vulnerable persons with commercial communications.

203

Table of Contents

Commercial communications must be socially responsible and must not, amongst others, directly or indirectly, make reference to the COVID-19 pandemic, or suggestion that gaming could be an alternative to employment, a solution to financial concerns, or a form of financial investment.
A responsible gaming message must be clearly displayed throughout all commercial communications and must, at a minimum, amount to 10% of the advertisement. All commercial communications should also carry a web-portal address of an entity devoted to responsible gaming and are to display a sign indicating the minimum age to participate in the game being promoted.
Advertisements must display the name of the relevant authorized gaming operator and a reference must be made to the entity which issued the relevant authorization (whether such entity is the MGA or otherwise), referring to any relevant authorization reference numbers. Advertisements are prohibited from being issued or distributed in public places or on any means of public transportation in Malta (with exceptions for advertisements published, displayed or broadcasted within authorized gaming premises, or in any work environment used by an authorized person and to commercial communications displayed or distributed in locations frequented mainly by tourists (exclusive of bars and restaurants), conferences/events organized in relation to the gaming sector, premises of operators, premises of organizers or beneficiaries of authorized low risk games and newspapers or magazines).
Licensee affiliates, and any person providing a service to, or on behalf of, or in any way in collaboration with an authorized person offering a licensable game, must comply with the abovementioned regulations, in addition to the licensees themselves.

Market Size. H2 Gambling Capital estimates that in 2021 the Maltese online market was worth US$73.1 million in gross revenues, which consists of US$49.2 million for online sports betting and US$23.9 million for online casino betting (casino, poker and bingo). This represents a 31% increase from 2020 in the overall Maltese online market size.

Greece

Regulatory Framework. Prior to 2019, online gambling was regulated in Greece, to a limited degree, under Law 4002/2011, which permitted online gambling for the first time in Greece’s history. The law also established the Hellenic Gaming Commission as the body to supervise Greece’s gaming market. However, it was only ever temporarily authorized based on a transitory regime that allowed other EEA countries to continue offering their services in the country if they agreed to certain conditions. At that time, a total of 24 operators were whitelisted and allowed to offer online gambling activities in Greece. From 2011 to 2021, Novibet operated under a market access agreement with an interim Greek license partner.

In 2019, Greece overhauled its gambling licensing system with Law 4635/2019, which was then complemented with regulatory decisions issued by the Minister of Financial Affairs in August 2020. Law 4635/2019 allowed all gambling operators situated in Greece or another EU/EEA member state to apply for a license from the HGC. Each issued license is valid for 7 years and can be renewed following a respective application. Two types of operating licenses are available:

Type 1: Online betting based on real events, fantasy sports, or virtual events based on a random number generator; and
Type 2: Other online games of chance including poker and its variants.

On June 15, 2021, Novibet subsidiary, Gamart Limited (“Gamart”) was issued a license by the HGC, and commenced operations in Greece effective August 5, 2021.

Marketing Restrictions. Commercial communication relating to online gambling is also already heavily regulated and strictly monitored. Any marketing plan or strategy must be submitted to the HGC for approval before use.

204

Table of Contents

Advertising is subject to the regulatory/supervisory authority of the HGC. The restrictions on advertising imposed by the HGC include:

All affiliates must have a “cooperation agreement” signed with licensees. This agreement will need to include description of the method of calculation, manner and time of fees paid to affiliates by the licensees. These agreements will need to be communicated to HGC.
Random number generated games (including slots) can be advertised only within the licensee’s website. All other related types of advertisement (e.g., from affiliate companies) are banned.
Social Media marketing is allowed only if the licensee can hide it from people under 21 years old.
Communications cannot use characters who are minors or appear to be minors. Communications also cannot appear alongside content aimed at minors.
Sending any kind of marketing material to self-excluded players is explicitly prohibited. The operator has 24 hours, from the player’s self-exclusion, to make sure that no material reaches the player. Player has the ability to choose how long self-exclusion lasts.
Advertising is prohibited from attempting to show a positive image of gambling and all advertisements must mentioned the legal age limit for gambling and the HGC.

Market Size. H2 Gambling Capital estimates that in 2021 the Greek online market was worth US$1.20 billion in gross revenues (excluding lottery), which consists of US$566 million for online sports betting and US$654 million for online casino betting (casino, poker and bingo). This represents a 76% increase from 2019 and a 38% increase from 2020 with the majority of growth coming from online casino, which has grown 136% since 2019.

We will be subject to additional regulations as we expand into other jurisdictions, as discussed below under “Our Growth Strategy.”

Ireland

Regulatory Framework. Irish law separately regulates three forms of gambling activity: gaming, betting and lotteries.

1.Betting is regulated by the Betting Act 1931, which was substantially amended in 2015 to introduce a licensing regime for remote betting services offered to Irish-based customers. There are separate licenses available for “remote bookmakers” and “remote betting intermediaries.”
2.Gaming and lotteries (with the exception of the National Lottery) are both regulated by the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956. While there have been some recent amendments to this legislation, it does not expressly deal with online gaming or lotteries, and no online licenses are available for remote gaming or lotteries.

Novibet holds its Irish remote bookmaker’s license through Novibet’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Novigroup Limited. Novigroup Limited holds a current Irish remote bookmaker’s license, and launched its offering of sportsbook and casino products to customers in Ireland beginning on July 1, 2021. The license only applies to fixed odds betting services provided to Irish based customers, but it is not limited to sports betting or specific types of sports. The license is in force until June 30, 2023, at which date it will need to be renewed.

No license is currently available for the casino gaming services provided by Novibet to Irish based customers. The Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956 (as amended) contains broad prohibitions on promoting gaming in Ireland. However, this legislation is not expressed to have extra-territorial effect and is generally considered to only apply to those promoting gaming in Ireland. In practice, many operators such as Novigroup Limited which are licensed in another jurisdiction and do not have any physical or operational presence in Ireland provide casino gaming services to players in Ireland.

205

Table of Contents

Marketing Restrictions.

Section 32A(2) of the Betting Act 1931 prohibits a third party advertising any unlicensed remote bookmaker targeting Irish customers.

More generally, the advertising of gambling services in Ireland is primarily governed by codes published by the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (relevant to domestic broadcasters), as well as general consumer protection legislation. The codes contain specific restrictions on gambling advertising, including a requirement to include a responsible gambling message and indicate prominently that the gambling service is for adults only (persons 18+).

Furthermore, as in any typical regulated market, operators must not promote or encourage gambling behavior that is socially irresponsible and have to be careful with any wording they use in their advertising actions, such as “risk-free bet” or “money-back special” and, of course, everyone should avoid targeting children gambling or implying that gambling can be a solution to personal, career or financial problems and concerns.

Market Size.  H2 Gambling Capital estimates that in 2021 the Irish online market was worth US$881 million in gross revenues (excluding lottery), which consists of US$377 million for online sports betting and US$504 million for online casino betting (casino, poker and bingo). This represents a 31% increase from 2019 and a 19% increase from 2020

A Clear Roadmap to Launch in the U.S. Market

Novibet has established a clear operational roadmap to gain market share in the U.S. betting and gaming market:

We plan strategic roll outs prioritizing states where iGaming is legalized
Employ Novibet’s cost-efficient acquisition model, including a robust affiliate and influencer program, coupled with a strategic, targeted grassroots approach
Deploy proven retention strategy to drive loyalty with new customers
Explore partnerships with unique collaborators to provide content, product enhancements or endorsements
Leverage Artemis’s unique regulatory expertise to obtain gaming licenses and influence regulatory regimes to expand the opportunity set in the U.S.

Novibet has signed market access agreements with Caesars for iGaming in Pennsylvania and Sports and iGaming in New Jersey. Novibet has received commitments from Caesars for the following states: Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri (through Century Casino), Louisiana (though LA Downs); and iGaming — Indiana and New Jersey. Novibet is also finalizing negotiations for iGaming in Iowa, Missouri (through Century Casino), and Louisiana (though LA Downs). The estimated Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) of the markets and verticals mentioned above is estimated to be approximately US$9.9 billion (GGR) in 2026, according to H2 Gambling Capital. In addition to the states below, we are in advanced discussions with various parties to secure additional market access to expand our reach to 12 states.

In addition to the U.S., our expansion strategy will focus on Canada and Latin America. The province of Ontario launched regulated online gambling in April 2022 and we aim to offer our services in the province by the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 with our own license. No market access partner will be required in Ontario. As additional Canadian provinces regulate online gambling, we will aim to launch in all provinces that we deem are commercially viable. Novibet has executed a market access deal in Mexico with Big Bola Casinos, owners of 18 land based casinos in Mexico. We anticipate launching in Mexico by October 2022. Mexico will be the first step in our expansion in the Latin American market. We also are exploring opportunities in Peru, Columbia, Chile, Brazil and Argentina. These deals vary in their structure, ranging from Novibet obtaining its own license, to joint ventures and acquisition opportunities within a 5 year horizon.

Data Protection and Privacy

Because we handle, collect, store, receive, transmit and otherwise process certain personal data of our customers and employees, we are also subject to federal, state and foreign laws related to the privacy and protection of such data. Regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union are relatively untested laws that could affect our business, and the potential impact is unknown.

Compliance

We have developed and implemented a rigorous internal compliance program to help ensure that we comply with legal and regulatory requirements imposed on us in connection with our online gaming and sports betting activities. Our compliance and risk program focuses, among other things, on reducing and managing problematic gaming and providing tools to assist customers in making educated choices related to gaming activities.

Additionally, we employ various methods and tools across our operations such as geolocation blocking, which restricts access based upon the customer’s geographical location determined through a series of data points such as mobile devices and Wi-Fi networks; age verification to ensure our customers are old enough to participate; routine monitoring of customer activity; and risk-based customer due diligence to ensure the funds used by our customers are legitimately derived. Novibet relies on systems and controls as part of a risk-based approach to verify customer information, KYC AML checks, and monitor user activity. These systems and controls are intended to ensure that, among other things, Novibet does not accept bets from customers using fraudulent or ill-gotten funds. While we are firmly committed to full compliance with all applicable laws and have developed appropriate policies and procedures in order to comply with the requirements of the evolving regulatory regimes, we cannot assure that our compliance program will prevent the violation of one or more laws or regulations, or that a violation by us or an employee will not result in the imposition of a monetary fine or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses.

Responsible and Safer Gaming

We view the safety and welfare of our customers as critical to our business and accordingly, we have made appropriate investments in our processes and systems. We are committed to industry-leading responsible gaming practices and seek to provide our customers with the resources and services they need to play responsibly. These practices, resources and services include deposit limits, voluntary restrictions on access and use of certain offerings, temporary self-exclusion and cooling-off periods, voluntary permanent exclusion from our offerings and applications and data science technology, which is able to flag any suspicious or abnormal betting activity. We also participate in national self-exclusion registers where they are in operation. We prominently promote our responsible gaming tools, resources and initiatives on our website and mobile applications, including links to GamCare, which helps bettors to control their betting activity; IBAS, an alternative dispute resolution service offering informed and impartial adjudications on disputes that arise between licensed gambling operators and their customers; and KETHEA-ALFA, which provides assistance to persons dealing with various types of addiction, including gambling.

Additionally, we maintain a self-excluded customer list, which prohibits self-identified customers from placing bets or participating in real-money gaming and have embedded the software to limit or restrict the amount individual customers spend. We also train our frontline personnel to identify signs of problematic gaming, ensuring that we are not only utilizing data and technology but also our human resources.

Our Growth Strategy

In order to capitalize on the potential created over the past few years, Novibet has decided to expand its presence by targeting several regulated or soon-to-be regulated European markets as well as the rapidly expanding United States and American sports betting and iGaming markets. Novibet’s current plans for expansion include, among others, Cyprus, Netherlands, Canada, Mexico, United States. Novibet intends to apply for licenses in these jurisdictions, and anticipates commencing online gaming and sports betting in some or all of these jurisdictions by first quarter of 2023 following issuance of applicable licenses. Novibet’s management believes that by leveraging its product, technology and customer acquisition and retention know-how, there are significant opportunities to not only further monetize its existing customer base, but also to acquire new customers in new regulated markets. Novibet has proven in various markets that it can both launch, localize and outgrow the market and so feels confident that these new markets present significant opportunities to localize and take meaningful market share.

In addition to new market entry, expanding Novibet’s product portfolio, such as the addition of new products for different demographics like Bingo, Poker, eSports and iLottery, provides an opportunity to not only acquire new customers in these verticals but also to cross promote existing betting casino and sports products into these new product offerings. Novibet’s management believes that it has a significant competitive advantage by leveraging its proprietary technology platform to provide a rich and unified customer experience.

Further, Novibet management believes that the Company’s Nasdaq listing will provide it with an opportunity to grow its business through acquisition in order to complement its high growth organic expansion strategy. These acquisition opportunities include large-scale, synergistic mergers and strategic regional acquisition targets. The focus will be on leveraging our operating, marketing capability and technology to drive both revenue and cost synergies.

Competition

Novibet’s competitors are primarily other operators of online gaming and sports betting products. These competitors include companies that have a proprietary integrated platform, like Novibet, such as 888 Holdings, Bally, BetMGM, Flutter and PointsBet; as well as companies that use a third party platform service, such as Caesar’s Entertainment, Supergroup, DraftKings (transitioning to SBTech), Barstool Sports, Rush Street Interactive, and Wynn Bet. Whilst Novibet will face these companies in particular in the North American market, Novibet is looking to position towards the high value casino audience and take a more efficient and focused approach rather than go head-to-head with outsized marketing budgets being shown by the big sports focused operators. In Greece, Novibet’s competitors are primarily Stoiximan, Bet365 and Entain and Novibet has outstripped these operators in terms of Gross gaming revenue growth over the last few years.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights are important to the success of Novibet’s business. Novibet relies on a combination of trademark, trade secret, database, copyright, confidentiality and other intellectual property protection laws in the United Kingdom, the European Union and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements with third parties and other contractual protections, to protect its intellectual property rights, including its trademarks, database, proprietary technology, software, know-how and copyright. Novibet has filed applications to protect the “Novibet” name in Greece and with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. Additionally, we have registered nearly 200 domain names comprising of the term “novibet” and/or including the term “novi” and/or comprising and/or including other terms. In the future, we are likely to acquire additional trademarks and domain names. Novibet has also entered into license agreements, data rights agreements and other arrangements with sports organizations and sports data suppliers for rights to utilize their sports data, of which durations vary but typically are at least annual in duration and are subject to renewal or extension.

As an online business with a customer-facing offering, Novibet’s trademark and domain name portfolios are of particular importance to it. The Company has registered the “novibet” name in the EU and in Greece, and owns nearly 200 domain names comprising of the term “novibet” and/or including the term “novi” and/or comprising and/or including other terms.

It has not always been possible, and may not be possible or commercially desirable, to obtain registered protection for Novibet’s products, software, databases or other technology. In such situations, Novibet relies on laws governing protection of unregistered intellectual property rights, confidentiality and/or contractual arrangements to prevent unauthorized use by third parties. Novibet uses open-source software in its services and periodically reviews its use of open-source software to attempt to avoid subjecting its services and product offerings to conditions it does not intend. Novibet’s software programming teams work closely with Novibet’s product teams to design, develop, deploy, and maintain a robust software system to supports its operations. This intellectual property is constantly under development as business requirements, market conditions, and technology frameworks change.

While a significant portion of the intellectual property that Novibet uses is created by the Company, the Company has also obtained rights to use intellectual property of third parties through licenses and service agreements with those third parties. By way of example, Novibet has a wide range of sponsorship and other agreements with Sportsbook providers (providing odds/data/streaming) to a variety of sports. Although Novibet believes that these licenses are sufficient for the operation of the business, these licenses typically limit Novibet’s use of the third parties’ intellectual property to specific uses and for specific time-periods.

Novibet controls access to and use of its data, database, proprietary technology and other confidential information through the use of internal and external controls, including contractual protections with employees, contractors, customers and partners. Novibet requires its employees, consultants and other third parties to enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements and it controls and monitors access to its data, database, software, documentation, proprietary technology and other confidential information. Novibet’s policy is to require all employees and independent contractors to sign agreements assigning to it any inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments, processes and other intellectual property generated by them on Novibet’s behalf and under which they agree to protect Novibet’s confidential information. In addition, the Company generally enters into confidentiality agreements with its partners. See “Risk Factors.”

Property

Our corporate offices are located in Malta, where we occupy facilities totaling approximately 240 square meters under a lease that expires in 2026, subject to our right to terminate under certain circumstances. We use these facilities primarily for our management, finance and part of our technology development team.

We also sublease office spaces in Athens, Greece, which house our technology, sales and marketing, accounting, customer support, product development, and any other team related to operations. We intend to procure additional space as we add employees and expand geographically. We believe that our facilities are adequate to meet our needs for the immediate future and that suitable additional space will be available to accommodate any expansion of our operations as needed.

Employees

As of July 27, 2022, we had 504 full-time employees. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Non-IFRS Financial Information

This proxy statement/prospectus includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-IFRS performance measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with IFRS. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by our public competitors and is regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be substitutes for any IFRS financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

We define and calculate EBITDA as net profit/(loss) before the impact of interest income or expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, as further adjusted for the following items: foreign exchange (gain)/loss and net impairment charge/reversal on financial and contract assets as described in the reconciliation above.

We include these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate Novibet’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with IFRS because they are non-cash (for example, in the case of depreciation and amortization), or are not related to our underlying business performance (for example, in the case of impairment loss on financial and contract assets).

The table above presents our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to our net profit/(loss), the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS, for the periods indicated.

NOVIBET MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains information regarding the financial position and financial performance of Logflex MT Holding Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries and unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “Novibet,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Logflex MT Holding Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The following MD&A provides Novibet management’s perspective on the financial position and financial performance of Novibet and its consolidated subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s year-end is December 31.

This discussion of the Company’s business may include forward-looking information with respect to the Company, including its operations and strategies, as well as financial performance and conditions, which are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Readers are directed to carefully review the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Presentation of Novibet’s Financial Information,” “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” and “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Certain figures, such as interest rates and other percentages, included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in Novibet’s consolidated financial statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.

Overview

Novibet’s business generated €117,219,691 of net gaming revenue between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Its total gross revenue represented approximately 68% of gross gaming revenue and 32% of gross sportsbook revenue.

Novibet’s business generated €59,315,396 of net gaming revenue between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Its total gross revenue represented approximately 71% of gross gaming revenue and 29% of gross sportsbook revenue.

Novibet’s business generated €23,118,971 of net gaming revenue between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019. Its total gross revenue represented approximately 67% of gross gaming revenue and 33% of gross sportsbook revenue.

What Novibet Does

Novibet is a global iGaming and sports betting company with proprietary technology.

Novibet’s online casino gaming and sports betting services are delivered to customers by way of two primary product offerings:

Casino gaming, featuring over 5,000 games from over 100 different providers; and
Sportsbook, featuring more than 20 different sports and over 25,000 different live sporting events per month.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs

On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Artemis, PubCo, Komisium, and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions therein, (a) immediately prior to the Effective Time, Komisium will sell and transfer all issued ordinary shares and other equity interests of Novibet to PubCo, in consideration for the Closing Cash Consideration, the Closing Share Consideration (including the right of Komisium to retain the PubCo Ordinary Shares to which the Initial Share Premium relates), and the Earnout Consideration, (b) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Artemis Class B Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock subject to the terms of the Existing Artemis Charter and the Sponsor Support Agreement, and (c) at the Effective Time, the Merger will occur, whereby (i), each issued and outstanding share of Artemis Class A Common Stock (including the Artemis Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Artemis Class B

212

Table of Contents

Common Stock, but not including shares redeemed by Artemis Public Stockholders and certain other excluded Artemis shares) shall no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share and (iii) each outstanding whole Artemis Warrant will be assumed by PubCo and will be thereafter exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement for one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with the exercise period beginning thirty (30) days after the Closing.

While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination is PubCo, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under IFRS, Novibet will be the accounting acquirer. Under this method of accounting, Artemis will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Novibet will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of Novibet. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Novibet will become the historical financial statements of PubCo, and Artemis’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Novibet beginning on the acquisition date. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Novibet in future reports. The net assets of Artemis will be recognized at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Anticipated Accounting Treatment.”

As a consequence of the Business Combination, PubCo will become the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company which will require PubCo to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. PubCo expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include reduction in the quantity of global sporting events, closures and restrictions on business operations of various sports organizations, and a decrease in consumer spending generally. COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical areas in which Novibet operates. COVID-19 and these actions have also had a significant impact on Novibet’s business, its suppliers and its customers. The direct impact on Novibet’s business, beyond disruptions in normal business operations, was driven by the suspension, postponement and cancellation of major sports seasons and events. While many sports have since restarted, some have been played on a reduced or uncertain schedule. The Company cannot be sure whether future mitigation steps, including shutdowns and forced closures, will occur which may limit the number of sports events played during such periods. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on Novibet’s financial performance will depend on the length of time that such disruptions exist. Conversely, hard lockdowns, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders for the general populace in many jurisdictions accelerated the shift to online commerce, which management believes has benefitted Novibet’s business in some areas. The extent to which the removal of such restrictions will have lasting effects on the business is not yet known and may take some time to become clear, particularly if subsequent waves of the pandemic lead to the reinstatement of similar restrictions in the future.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the ultimate extent of the impact on Novibet’s businesses, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition will be primarily driven by the severity and duration of the pandemic, the pandemic’s impact on global economies and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic in the United States and national, provincial / state / regional and local responses elsewhere around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures may adversely impact Novibet’s employees and operations and the operations of its business partners and may negatively impact Novibet’s business. Novibet’s revenues are dependent on interest in sporting events, which have been, and may be in the future, substantially limited during times of business shutdowns and the cancellation or reduction of physical participation in such activities.

There is no certainty that any actions taken by Novibet will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic or that any of the secular factors arising from COVID-19 (such as the general trend towards online commerce that has benefited all digital businesses) will continue to be of benefit to Novibet. These factors related to COVID-19 are beyond Novibet’s knowledge and control and, as a result, at this time, Novibet is unable to predict the ultimate impact, both in terms of severity and duration, that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on Novibet’s business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. Based on current trends,

213

Table of Contents

Novibet does not expect there to be a long-term negative financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. The online casino business was not negatively impacted at the height of the pandemic but instead benefited from hard lockdowns which management believes resulted in more people looking online for entertainment. The effect of this dissipated somewhat as hard lockdowns ended but the online casino segment nonetheless remains robust in management’s view and growth has again returned to levels in line with pre-pandemic expectations. Notwithstanding this, the inherent unpredictability of the pandemic and how governments will respond to it mean that management cannot be certain as to whether or not these trends will persist and hence what the long-term effects of the pandemic will be. See “Risk Factors.”

Comparability of Financial Information

Owing to the effects of the Business Combination, Novibet’s future results of operations and financial position may not be comparable to historical results. See section entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.” Furthermore, Novibet’s financial years ending December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 included acquisitions and restructuring.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

Novibet believes that its performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for Novibet but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in “Risk Factors.” Novibet’s financial position and results of operations depend to a significant extent on the following factors:

Ability to Acquire, Retain and Monetize Customers

Novibet’s ability to effectively market its offerings is critical to operational success. The Company undertakes a variety of marketing initiatives, include traditional marketing channels (such as television, print and radio), digital marketing (such as online display and video advertising, search engine marketing, social media and “affiliates” marketing, the latter being an industry term describing independent third-party marketing agencies which despite the word “affiliate” are not affiliated with the Company in the ordinary sense of the word) and retention marketing (including via email, text messages and social media). Traditional marketing channels are by their nature difficult to measure. Digital marketing is typically more measurable but somewhat more complex to accurately evaluate. Retention marketing is subject to customer consent which is not always granted or may be revoked. In all cases it is therefore difficult to extrapolate the Company’s past performance into the future and/or into new markets where Novibet has not previously marketed its products and offerings.

In all of its marketing channels, Novibet makes widespread use of incentives, also called bonuses or comps, which are accounted for as a deduction in the calculation of its revenues. Novibet attempts to evaluate its customers individually and in real-time using a wide range of signals and data points and with reference to proprietary models of customer behavior and profitability. Customer behavior and competitive forces are constantly evolving and it is therefore difficult to extrapolate the Company’s past performance into the future and/or into new markets where it has not previously marketed its products and offerings.

Novibet’s ability to execute on its marketing plans are subject to regulatory constraints in each market and it is not unusual for marketing-related regulations to change from time to time. Novibet therefore cannot be certain that historic marketing channels will be available to it in the future and/or whether it will be allowed to utilize the same incentivization mechanisms in the future.

Industry Trends and Competitive Landscape

Novibet operates within the global entertainment, betting and gaming industries, which are comprised of diverse products and offerings that compete for consumers’ time and disposable income. As the Company prepares to enter new jurisdictions, it expects to face significant competition from other established industry players, some of which may have access to more resources and/or may have more experience in online casino and sports wagering in these jurisdictions. In existing jurisdictions the Company also expects to face significant competition from existing competitors and new entrants, while in both new and existing jurisdictions ancillary product categories such as daily fantasy sports, casual games and financial services where products are evolving over time to include “gamification” features that often closely resemble gambling.

214

Table of Contents

Legalization, Regulation and Taxation

Novibet’s growth depends on expanding its activities in existing markets, as well as on successfully entering new markets and new geographies around the world. Management believes that incremental legalization and regulation of online casino and sports wagering, derived from governments’ desire to protect consumers and increase tax revenues, will create global opportunities for Novibet to expand into newly regulated markets worldwide, for example, Canada, the Netherlands, Mexico, and various U.S states. Novibet’s strategy is to monitor closely changes in regulations that enable expansion of existing markets or entry into new markets, and seize such opportunities in a financially prudent manner. The rate in which existing and new jurisdictions undergo regulatory changes, and online casinos and sports wagering markets expand (in the case of existing markets) or become legal (in the case of new ones), will impact the prospects and pace of Novibet’s growth, as it continues to expand its global footprint.

The process of securing the necessary licenses or partnerships to operate in a new jurisdiction may take longer than Novibet anticipates. In addition, legislative or regulatory changes or restrictions and gaming taxes may make it less attractive or more difficult for the Company to do business in a particular jurisdiction, and may impact the Company’s profitability in both positive and negative ways that make the overall net effect hard to predict. In the past, when countries have introduced regulatory frameworks, the Company’s financial results have been impacted by, amongst other things, increased taxation and compliance costs, offset by improvements in other costs of doing business such as payment processing and product costs. In some cases the introduction of a restrictive regulatory regime has resulted in a decrease in the size of the market, whereas in others a liberal regulatory regime has led to an increase in the size of the market. Further, certain jurisdictions require the Company to have a relationship with a land-based casino for online sports and/or casino wagering access, which tends to increase the Company’s costs of revenue. Countries and/or states that have established state-run monopolies may limit opportunities for private operators.

Countries and/or states impose tax rates on online casino and sports wagering, which may vary substantially between jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions impose constraints on the amounts of money that customers are allowed to deposit and/or lose (“loss limits”), sometimes in absolute terms without reference to the means of individual customers. Some jurisdictions impose constraints on the nature and extent of the marketing that may be undertaken in relation to the Company’s products. Management is strategically focusing on jurisdictions with both online casino and sports wagering at favorable tax rates, with customer loss limits at levels that relate responsibly to what customers can afford to gamble with, and with marketing regulations that enable the Company to engage meaningfully with its customers. Conversely, management expects that a minority of jurisdictions will set tax rates at unprofitable levels and/or will set customer loss limits at arbitrarily low levels and/or will impose onerous constraints on marketing, in which case the Company might not be able to profitably trade in such jurisdictions.

Managing Wagering Risk

The online casino gaming and online sports wagering businesses are characterized by an element of chance. Accordingly, Novibet employs theoretical win rates and probability distributions to estimate what a certain type of online casino wager or online sports wager, on average, will win or lose in the long run. Revenue is impacted by variations in the hold percentage (the ratio of winnings to total amount wagered) with respect to the online casino and online sports wagering that Novibet offers to its customers. Novibet uses the hold percentage as an indicator of an online casino game’s or online sports wager’s performance against its expected outcome. Although each online casino wager or online sports wager generally performs within a defined statistical range of outcomes in the long run, actual outcomes may vary for any given period, particularly in the short term.

In the short term, for online casino wagering and online sports wagering, the element of chance may affect win rates (hold percentages); these win rates, particularly for online sports wagering, may also be affected in the short term by factors that are largely beyond the Company’s control, such as unanticipated event outcomes, a customer’s skill, experience and behavior, the mix of games played or wagers placed, match fixing, the financial resources of customers, the volume of wagers placed and the amount of time spent gambling. Factors that are nominally within Novibet’s control, such as the level of incentives or bonuses or comps given to customers, might not, for various reasons both within and beyond Novibet’s control, be well-controlled and hence in turn might impact win rates. For online casino games, it is possible that a random number generator outcome or game will malfunction or is otherwise misprogrammed to pay out wins in excess of the game’s mathematical design and award errant prizes. For online sports wagering, it is possible that Novibet’s platform erroneously posts odds or is otherwise misprogrammed to pay out odds that are highly favorable to bettors, and bettors place wagers before the odds are corrected. Additionally, odds compilers and risk managers are capable of human error, so even if Novibet’s wagering products are subject to a capped payout, significant volatility can occur. Novibet manages these risks as much as possible through its terms and conditions of use and software tools which alert operators to

215

Table of Contents

potential issues. Similarly, inadvertently over-incentivizing customers can convert a sports wager or casino game that would otherwise have been expected to be profitable for Novibet into one with a positive expectation for the player.

A further factor particularly of relevance to some areas of Novibet’s sports betting business concerns the volatility inherent in certain types of wagers, particularly parlay or accumulator wagers, which are single wagers that link together two or more individual wagers and are dependent on all of those wagers winning together. It is not unusual for a large number of customers to back similar outcomes, and if a high proportion of those outcomes transpire then it is possible that in aggregate these customers will win large sums of money. This is an expected and normal feature of the business that the Company has in the past experienced and expects that it will do so again in the future.

As a result of the variability in these factors, the actual win rates on the Company’s online casino games and online sports wagers may differ from the theoretical win rates it has estimated and could result in the winnings of its online casino games or sports betting customers exceeding those anticipated. The variability of win rates (hold percentages) also has the potential to adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and cash flows. See “Risk Factors.”

Technology and Products

Management believes that pragmatic and commercial product selection for purposes of speed-to-market and product-market fit is a key driver of the success of the business. Novibet therefore evaluates each new market independently in order to determine whether the interests of the business would be best served by deploying Novibet’s proprietary sports betting product or the original flagship bespoke-developed product or alternate third-party product. Such decisions are also influenced by numerous other factors, such as regulatory constraints and the amount of product customization required to meet such constraints, and the maturity of the market under consideration. Similar considerations are applied in the decision as to which casino games of the available products would be best suited for any particular new market.

Management believes that some of Novibet’s growth has been achieved due to this approach but cannot be certain that this will be replicated in future. While Novibet has derived much experience from the diverse requirements of the five licenses that it already holds, there can be no certainty that such experience will be of any assistance in further new markets, or that Novibet will be able to achieve suitable product-market fit in future new markets, either by way of customizing existing product or sourcing additional new products.

Regardless of the product or products selected, Novibet will always seek to overlay its own proprietary technology with the intention of achieving competitive advantage. This is particularly true in the area of data and analytics, where the Company’s goal is to be able to evaluate all of its customers in granular detail in real-time so that it can in turn interact, intervene, incentivize and encourage (or discourage, as the case may be) behaviors that are both responsible for the customer and profitable for Novibet.

Management believes that a meaningful part of Novibet’s growth can be attributed to competitive advantage achieved in this way, but by the nature of such things cannot quantify this belief in any meaningful way and therefore cannot be certain that any such competitive advantage (if it exists) will persist into the future or be replicable in new markets or that competitors will not develop competing technologies (to the extent that they haven’t already done so) in order to substantially erode any such advantage that Novibet might currently enjoy.

Seasonality

Novibet’s sport-focused offerings trade in many major markets in both hemispheres and hence benefit from the year-round sporting calendar. Different sporting leagues and events are relatively more or less important in different markets and hence the business benefits from a natural degree of diversification. Sporting events of all sorts take place every day around the world in multiple time zones and, particularly with the advent of virtual sports and eSports, events are available for wagering 24/7/365.

Sports betting is however subject to seasonal fluctuations that may impact revenues and cash flows. Most major sporting leagues and events do not operate year-round and hence Novibet’s operations will be impacted by variations in the sporting calendar over the course of a year. In particular, certain sports leagues operate formats (playoffs, championships, cup finals, etc.) that naturally result in increased customer interest as the end of the season approaches for those sports. Similarly, certain sporting events only operate at

216

Table of Contents

specific times of the year (major horse races, major tennis tournaments, etc.) and certain other events only operate on a multi-year cycle (Olympics, FIFA World Cup, etc.).

These phenomena will naturally lead to increased revenues at such times of the year or in major international tournament years, and conversely will result in reduced revenues during off-season periods or in non-tournament years.

For example, Novibet’s sportsbook revenues are often impacted by the calendars of major sports leagues such as the Premier League (U.K.), Serie A (Italy), Bundesliga (Germany), La Liga (Spain), and Ligue 1 (France); local leagues, such as the Super League (Greece) and the League of Ireland Premier Division; and tournaments, including both world tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA European Championship, the Copa América and the Asian Cup, and regional tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League tournaments. Novibet naturally seeks to adapt marketing efforts accordingly, taking advantage of additional opportunities for profitable growth whenever they present while mitigating potentially negative effects on profits by adjusting marketing appropriately in off-season periods.

The online casino game portfolio, by contrast, is generally less affected by seasonality, as online casino gaming, in the aggregate, is largely an individual activity unaffected by external calendars. However, Novibet management historically has observed a significant increase in gambling activity around the Christmas holiday.

Key Components of Revenue and Expenses

Distinct Active Customers

Novibet calculates its distinct active customers (“DAC”) in six-month increments as an important measure of its customer base. Novibet defines DAC as the number of registered customer accounts that wager on the Company’s online casino games and/or sports betting offerings at least once during the six-month period. This metric is calculated using internal company data and is not validated, audited, or reviewed by an independent party. The size and growth of Novibet’s distinct active customers directly affects the Company’s revenue generated from its online casino games and sports betting offerings, as well as its operating expenses associated with the infrastructure and customer support necessary to service customers.

The following tables show Novibet’s first six-month DAC for 2019, 2020, and 2021 and the associated year-on-year growth rates. DAC numbers were positively impacted in the first six months of 2020 by the increase in online activity, including online gambling, resulting from the physical restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the year-on-year growth rate shown below for the first six months of 2020 as compared to the first six months of 2019 is likely to be somewhat higher than that which would have been the case in the absence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue

Novibet generates revenue through income earned from online gaming activities, comprising online casino games, sports betting, and virtual betting. Novibet’s revenue from casino games and sports betting is the sum of amounts won from customers by the sportsbook and casino, less certain customer incentives, and adjusted for the fair market value of gains and losses on open betting positions. Novibet’s revenue is therefore calculated as revenue from casino games and sports betting, minus utilized customer incentives adjustments.

Revenues generated from online casino games and sports betting are recognized at fair value, representing the amount staked by the customer adjusted for any customer incentives. They are subsequently remeasured when the transaction price is known and the

217

Table of Contents

amount payable is confirmed, at which point the movement is recorded as a gain or loss in Novibet’s consolidated financial statements. Such gains and losses arise from similar transactions and are therefore offset within revenue. Subsequent changes in these fair values are recorded in Novibet’s consolidated financial statements, provided that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to Novibet, and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Novibet recognizes net gaming revenue transactions at the point at which they are settled. Any open positions at the period end fairly value with the resulting gain or loss recorded in Novibet’s consolidated financial statements. Customer liabilities related to these timing differences are accounted for as derivative financial instruments.

Novibet has two operating streams of revenue: online gaming and sports betting. The Company concluded that these activities do not constitute separate segments and have been aggregated into a single operating segment.

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales consists primarily of gaming duties and costs relating to royalties paid to content and product providers, Sportsbook data feed, and sports video streaming. Cost of sales also includes fraud, merchant, and processing costs relating to customer deposits and withdrawals activity.

Marketing Expenses

Marketing expenses are broken out into the following marketing channels: acquisition and retention marketing, search optimization and digital, “affiliates” marketing, and brand marketing or sponsorships. This item also includes compensation, commissions and benefits, event attendance, event sponsorships, association memberships, marketing subscriptions, and third-party consulting fees.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include professional services (including legal, regulatory, and audit, and licensing-related), legal settlements, and contingencies. Administrative expenses also include technology-related expenses relating to subscriptions, operational software, domain management, and license costs, personnel costs, lease, office-related, and travel expenses. Expenses paid to outsource services providers are also included under this item.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is provided on property and equipment over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Depreciation and amortization also includes the amortization of intangible assets as well as the depreciation of right of use assets written off on a straight-line basis. Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the loss from operations. Depreciation and amortization are reported as part of operating expenses.

Finance Expense (Income)

Finance expenses consists primarily of bank charges not related with gaming activity and foreign exchange losses.

Finance income consists primarily of interest received in respect of loans receivable and foreign exchange gains.

Income Tax Expense

Novibet accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes reflects income earned and taxed. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. See Note 11, “Tax,” to Novibet’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2019

Net Revenue

Net revenue for 2021 was €117.2 million, an increase of €57.9 million, or 97.6%, over net revenue of €59.3 million for 2020. Net revenue for 2020 was €59.3 million, an increase of €37.3 million, or 169.5%, over net revenue of €22.0 million for 2019. Online gaming represented 67.91% of revenue for 2021, compared to 70.85% of revenue for 2020, and sports betting represented 32.09% of revenue for 2021, compared to 29.15% of revenue for 2020. Online gaming represented 70.85% of revenue for 2020, compared to 66.95% of revenue for 2019, and sports betting represented 29.15% of revenue for 2020, compared to 33.05% of revenue for 2019. The increases in each year 2020 and 2021 were due mainly to increased player activity. The Company attributes the increased player activity to its casino and sportsbook product enhancement and development, its increased and targeted marketing, and the positive impact the physical restrictions of COVID-19 pandemic had on online activity, including online gaming.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for 2021 was €53.8 million and increase of €32.4 million, or 152.0%, over €21.4 million for 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the increase in net revenue.

Cost of sales of €21.4 million for 2020 increased by €12.4 million, or 137.8%, over €9.0 million for 2019. The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the increase in net revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 2021 was €63.4 million, an increase of €25.5 million or 67.0% over gross profit of €37.9 million for 2020. The Gross profit margin for 2021 was 54.1%, a decrease of 9.9% over gross profit margin of 64% for 2020. The decrease is mainly attributable to the that fact that as of August 5, 2021, the Group obtained a new gaming license for the Greek market and provided increased player bonuses to the Greek players in order to penetrate the Greek market. In addition, the new Greek license regulations imposed certain gaming restrictions which affected adversely the casino net revenue for the period between August and December 2021. These restrictions have been amended in favor of the gaming operators in May 2022.

Gross profit for 2020 was €38.0 million, an increase of €24.9 million or 191.5%, over gross profit of €13.0 million for 2019. The gross profit margin for 2020 was 64%, an increase of 5% over gross profit margin of 59% for 2019. The increase is attributable to economies of scale and efficiencies that occurred in the business as a result of the increase in player activity and net revenue. For example, the gaming software license fees which are included in the cost of sales are normally charged by a fixed rate based on net revenue. During the year 2020 the fixed rate was decreased by 0.5% compared to prior period, because of the increase in player activity and net revenue.

Operating Profit

Operating profit of €5.4 million for 2021 decreased by €9.0 million, or 60.9%, over operating profit of €14.4 million for 2020. Operating profit is calculated as gross profit less other operating income and expenses, marketing expenses and operating expenses. The decrease in 2021 over 2020 was primarily attributable to the €25.5 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by €24.3 million increase in marketing expenses which were used primarily for the penetration of the Greek market and €10 million increase in operating expenses which comprise mainly of increased staff cost and transaction expenses in relation to the merger agreement with Artemis.

Operating profit of €14.4 million for 2020 increased by €12.8 million, or 813.1%, over operating profit of €1.6 million for 2019. Operating profit is calculated as gross profit less other operating income and expenses, marketing expenses and operating expenses. The increase in 2020 over 2019 was primarily attributable to the €24.0 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a €7.7 million increase in marketing expenses. Staff costs for 2020 were €2.7 million, an increase of €1.7 million, or 155.0%, over costs of €1.1 million for 2019. Staff costs consist of wages, social security cost, and pension cost. Operating profit increased in positive

correlation with increased player activity in 2020. Supporting the increased player activity necessitated increases in staff in the areas of customer support, payments, and trading and casino business. These departments account for approximately 70% of total payroll. As result, the increase of the player activity for the year 2020 resulted in an increase in staff costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by €456,047, from €262,642 in 2019 to €718,689 in 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in amortization of the internally generated software related to further development costs capitalized during the year 2020.

Depreciation and amortization increased by €1,628,115 from €718,689 in 2020 to €2,346,804 in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the increase in amortization of the internally generated software related to further development costs capitalized during the year 2021, the amortization of the Greek license obtained in 2021 and the increase in depreciation of the “right of use asset” relating to office leases obtained during the year.

Finance Income/(Costs)

Finance income, consisting of bank interest and loan interest income, was €80 for 2020 and €5,622 for 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease of loans receivable.

Finance income for 2021 consists of bank interest income of €74.

Finance costs, consisting of foreign exchange gain and loss and bank charges, were €66,344 for 2020 and €1,748,262 for 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease of foreign exchange losses by €1,759,184 partially offset by a €77,266 increase in bank charges. Finance costs consisting of foreign exchange gain and loss and bank charges for 2021, were €438,342 as compared to €66,344 in 2020. The increase of €371,998 was primarily due to the increase in foreign exchange losses of €411,897 and the increase in interest expense on lease liabilities of €15,936 due to office leases obtained in the year. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in bank charges of €55,835.

The foreign exchange differences were caused by the currency fluctuation between the Euro and the Pound Sterling. During the years ending December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 the Euro year end rate was 1.1126, 1.1755, 1.1128 and 1.1898 for one Pound Sterling respectively. This high volatility created a material foreign exchange loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 and a material decrease in foreign exchange loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 and a material increase in foreign exchange loss for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The Corporate taxation expense for the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021 was €62,078 and consists of €44,372 income tax payable from Abraserve Greece and €17,706 from Dicapl. The Corporate taxation expense for the Group for the year ended December 31, 2020 was zero.

The only revenue producing companies in the Group were Novigroup Ltd, Gamart Ltd, Iflex Ltd and Logflex MT Ltd. During the year December 31, 2021 Novigroup Ltd had taxable income and Gamart Ltd, Iflex Ltd and Logflex MT Ltd had taxable loss. Novigroup Ltd was incorporated in Isle of Man, where the standard rate of corporate income tax for its activity was 0%.

Gamart Ltd, Iflex Ltd and Logflex MT Ltd are incorporated in Malta, where the standard rate of corporate income tax is 35% and it is subject to a refund up to 30% to the parent company under certain conditions.

From August 5, 2021 onwards the corporate profits of Gamart Ltd, are subject to tax initially in Greece at a rate of 22% and this is offset against the 35% tax in Malta.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Novibet measures liquidity in terms of its ability to fund the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital and capital expenditure needs, contractual obligations and other commitments, with cash flows from operations and other sources of funding. Novibet’s current working capital needs relate mainly to the monthly cash flow requirements of the Company’s direct and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. Novibet’s ability to expand and grow its business will depend on many factors, including its working capital needs and the evolution of its operating cash flows.

Novibet had approximately €15 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021. Novibet has available cash resources to meet its liquidity needs as it expects additional cash flows to be received in 2022 due to 2022 FIFA World Cup and further reductions in marketing costs as a result of more targeted and effective marketing strategies.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash generated by operating activities was €25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of €24.5 million compared with €0.9 million in net cash generated by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The increase was mainly driven by the €24.0 million increase in gross profit and €4.6 million increase in trade payables, partially offset by €992 thousand increase receivable from payment service providers over 2019.

Net cash generated by operating activities was €8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of €17.0 million compared with €25.4 million in net cash generated by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in profit before tax by €9.4 million, and the increase in receivables from payment service providers of €8.3 million in the year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to €2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with €0.9 million in net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The increase in net cash used in investing activities in 2020 when compared to 2019 was primarily attributable to the increase in capitalized development costs for the internally generated asset of €1.9 million for the year 2020.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to €4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared with €2.2 million in net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in capitalized development costs for the internally generated asset of €2 million for the year 2021 and the payment for licenses of €1.2 million.

221

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $17.3 million in 2020, compared to $0.5 million in 2019. The increase was primarily driven by the €14.8 million increase in dividends paid to Sendross Ltd. in connection with the Restructuring Transaction.

Net cash inflow from financing activities was $4.8 million in 2021, compared to $17.3 million net cash outflow in financing activities in 2020. The difference was primarily driven by the €22.7 million decrease in dividends paid to Sendross Ltd in connection with the Restructuring Transaction.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021, Novibet did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires Novibet to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of policies and reported amounts. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated along with other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Included below are the areas that we believe require estimates, judgments and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

Impairment of intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recorded at acquisition cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful economic life. Intangible assets that are acquired through a business combination are initially recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least once per year and definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The impairment test is performed using the discounted cash flows expected to be generated through the use of the intangible assets, using a discount rate that reflects the current market estimations and the risks associated with the asset. When it is impractical to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit in which the asset belongs to.

Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Internally generated intangible assets

Costs relating to internally generated intangible assets, are capitalized if the criteria for recognition as assets are met. The initial capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility criteria are met. In making this judgement, management considers the progress made in each development project and its latest forecasts for each project. Other expenditure is charged to the consolidated income statement in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements are described in Note 3. “Recent accounting pronouncements,” to Novibet’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo is expected to remain an emerging growth company at least through the end of the 2021 fiscal year. As such, we are choosing to irrevocably opt out of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are currently not required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not required to make an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Upon becoming a publicly traded company, we will be required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports to be filed with the SEC and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will not be required to make our first assessment of our internal control over financial reporting until our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC.

Novibet has not been required to document and test its internal controls over financial reporting, nor has its management been required to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls, and its auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. In connection with Novibet’s 2019-2021 financial audit, material weaknesses in certain internal controls were identified and communicated to management by its PCAOB auditor, including material weaknesses in IT, tax accounting, and management’s review over the sub-consolidation process. In response to this communication, among other actions, Novibet engaged an independent external advisor to oversee its accounting and internal control systems and employed a full-time internal auditor to monitor and help maintain the effectiveness of Novibet’s internal controls. Novibet undertook these actions to assist in bringing its controls over financial reporting into accordance with Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act prior to its required compliance with SEC rules.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Novibet has in the past, and PubCo may in the future, be exposed to certain market risks, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange and financial instrument risks, in the ordinary course of business. Novibet’s exposure to interest rate and financial instruments risk was not material as of June 30, 2021. See Note 5, “Financial Risk Management,” to Novibet’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

ARTEMIS MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References in this section to “Artemis,” “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company” refer to Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on January 4, 2021 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We reviewed a number of opportunities to enter into an initial business combination with an operating business, and entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Novibet, PubCo, Komisium, and Merger Sub on March 30, 2022, which was subsequently amended on September 2, 2022. The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the approval of Artemis Stockholders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, as described in more detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for our initial business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

During the period from January 4, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 and for the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2021 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $4,517,549, which consisted of $781,914 of operating costs, offset by non-cash gains of $5,067,788 related to change in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income of $231,675.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $3,263,313, which consisted of $5,054,348 of operating costs, offset by non-cash gains of $8,051,082 related to change in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income of $266,579.

Liquidity and Going Concern Consideration

On January 5, 2021, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which we could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of January 5, 2023 or the completion of the IPO. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $162,892 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and is no longer available.

On October 4, 2021, Artemis closed its IPO of 20,125,000 Artemis Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option in the amount of 2,625,000 Artemis Units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $201,250,000. The Artemis Anchor Investors, which are institutional investors that are not affiliated with Artemis, the Sponsor, or Artemis’s officers, directors, or any member of Artemis management purchased an aggregate of 13,020,000 of the Artemis Units in the IPO. The Artemis Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Artemis Unit, generating gross proceeds of $132,020,000. In addition, certain entities affiliated with the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,732,500 Artemis Units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit in the

225

Table of Contents

IPO, generating gross proceeds of $27,325,000. In connection with the purchase of units by the Artemis Anchor Investors, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 Sponsor Shares and Artemis issued 1,618,434 Sponsor Shares to the Artemis Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000. Artemis also consummated the sale of 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to certain of the Artemis Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

Following the closing of the IPO on October 4, 2021, an amount of $205,275,000 ($10.20 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Artemis Units in the IPO and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred transaction costs totaling $25,209,771, consisting of $3,825,000 of underwriting fees, $7,043,750 of deferred underwriting commissions, $13,796,426 of offering costs related to the fair value of the Sponsor Shares issued to certain Artemis Anchor Investors and $894,595 of other offering costs. Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned and withdrew from its role as financial advisor and capital markets advisor to Artemis and waived its entitlement to all fees in connection with the Business Combination, including its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of approximately $4,578,438. Effective as of July 20, 2022, BMO waived its entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of approximately $2,465,312.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $456,257. Net income of $3,263,313 was affected by non-cash gains of $8,051,082 related to changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, interest income of $266,579 and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $497,072 and investments of $205,551,462 held in the Trust Account.

Artemis will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its other stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties prior to the completion of the Business Combination. Moreover, Artemis may need to obtain additional financing either to complete the Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, in which case Artemis may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the Business Combination. Artemis’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan Artemis funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet Artemis’s working capital needs. Accordingly, Artemis may not be able to obtain additional financing. If Artemis is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. Artemis cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Artemis’s ability to continue as a going concern through July 4, 2023. Artemis’s financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should Artemis be unable to continue as a going concern.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on September 30, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

Prior to their resignations, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per share, or approximately $7,043,750 in the aggregate. The deferred fee was to become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned and withdrew from its role as financial advisor and capital markets advisor to Artemis and waived its entitlement to all fees in connection with the Business Combination, including its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of approximately $4,578,438. Effective as of July 20, 2022, BMO, one of the underwriters in

the IPO, waived its entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of approximately $2,465,312 in connection with the IPO.

Registration Rights

The holders of Class B Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any (and any Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and upon conversion of Class B Common Stock), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the consummation of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriting fees were agreed between Artemis and the underwriters in the IPO Underwriting Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2021, and were earned in full upon completion of the IPO. The underwriters of the IPO were paid a total of $3,825,000 in underwriting fees upon closing of the IPO. In addition, $0.35 per Public Share, or approximately $7,043,750 in the aggregate was payable to the underwriters as deferred underwriting commissions upon consummation of the Business Combination. The deferred fee was to become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned and withdrew from its role as financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis and waived its entitlement to all fees in connection with the Business Combination, including its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions. Effective as of July 20, 2022, BMO, one of the underwriters in the IPO, waived its entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 20,125,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Artemis Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with Artemis’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial business combination, and in connection with certain amendments to the Existing Artemis Charter. In accordance with ASC 480, conditionally redeemable Artemis Class A Common Stock (including Artemis Class A Common Stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within Artemis’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although Artemis did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, the Existing Artemis Charter provides that currently, Artemis will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, 20,125,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of Artemis’s balance sheet.

Warrant Liabilities

Artemis accounts for warrants for shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Such Artemis Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. Artemis will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of any Artemis Warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the Artemis Warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Standards

Artemis’s management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on Artemis’s financial statements.

227

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021 and as of June 30, 2022, Artemis did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations. Artemis did not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. Artemis has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

As an “emerging growth company,” we are not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO ARTEMIS

References in this section to “Artemis,” “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company” refer to Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

Introduction

Artemis is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on January 4, 2021, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Based on its business activities, Artemis is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act, because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. Although Artemis is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a business combination, Artemis has focused its search for an initial business combination on companies that provide transformational technology to experiential entertainment within the gaming, hospitality and entertainment industries. Artemis has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Prior to executing the Business Combination Agreement, Artemis’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of the IPO and the identification and evaluation of possible acquisition targets for business combinations.

IPO

On October 4, 2021, Artemis consummated its IPO of 20,125,000 Artemis Units, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option of 2,625,000 Artemis Units. Each Artemis Unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one redeemable Artemis Warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $11.50 per share commencing upon 30 days after Artemis’s completion of a business combination. The Artemis Units in the IPO were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $201,250,000.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, on January 5, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 4,312,500 shares of Class B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or $0.006 per share. On March 16, 2021, Artemis effected a stock split of the Artemis Class B Common Stock, resulting in an aggregate of 5,031,250 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and held by the Sponsor. The number of Sponsor Shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 20,125,000 Artemis Units if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Artemis Units was exercised in full, and therefore, that such Sponsor Shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock after the IPO. In connection with the purchase of Artemis Units in the IPO by the Artemis Anchor Investors, on October 4, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 Sponsor Shares and Artemis issued 1,618,434 Sponsor Shares to the Artemis Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share.

Simultaneous with the closing of the IPO, Artemis consummated the sale of 8,000,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000, and consummated the sale of 2,000,000 Anchor Investor Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Anchor Investor Warrant in a private placement to certain Artemis Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (1) the Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by Artemis; (2) the Private Placement Warrants (including the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after Artemis completes its initial business combination; and (3) the Private Placement Warrants may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis.

Artemis placed a total of $205,275,000 in the Trust Account. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Artemis to pay its taxes, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of Artemis’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Existing Artemis Charter to modify the substance or timing of Artemis’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if Artemis does not complete its initial business combination by the Liquidation Date or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares if Artemis is unable to complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date, subject to applicable law. Until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, the proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money

market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct United States government treasury obligations.

After the payment of underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of approximately $7,043,750 in underwriting discounts and commissions, which has been waived by Barclays and BMO), $13,796,426 of offering costs related to the fair value of the Sponsor Shares issued to certain Artemis Anchor Investors, and approximately $894,595 in other offering costs, an amount of $205,275,000 of the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement was placed into the Trust Account and approximately $1,678,491 of the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement was not deposited into the Trust Account and was retained by Artemis for working capital purposes. The net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account remain on deposit in the Trust Account earning interest. As of [•], 2022, the record date, there was approximately $[•] in investments and cash held in the Trust Account and $[•] of cash held outside the Trust Account available for working capital purposes.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

It is a requirement under the Existing Artemis Charter and Nasdaq rules that Artemis’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination, although Artemis may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. The Artemis Board determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination as described in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Satisfaction of 80% Test” herein.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

Under the Existing Artemis Charter, in connection with any proposed business combination, Artemis must seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Artemis Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination, subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for the IPO. Accordingly, in connection with the Business Combination, the Artemis Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

Artemis’s Sponsor and its officers and directors at the time of the IPO entered into a letter agreement to vote their Sponsor Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the SPAC’s initial business combination. Additionally, pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its equity securities of Artemis in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and each other proposal to be presented to the Artemis Stockholders at the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor owns approximately 13.6% of the total outstanding Artemis Common Stock. Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by the Sponsor, Artemis would need9,165,310 Public Shares, or approximately 45.5% of the 20,125,000 shares sold in Artemis’s initial public offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved. Moreover, certain anchor investors in Artemis own approximately 9.5 million Public Shares based on the latest available public filings. Although such investors are not required to hold their Artemis Units or Public Shares for any amount of time, or to vote or not redeem their Public Shares, if they retain all of their interests in the Public Shares and vote those Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, Artemis will receive sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination, regardless of how any other Artemis Public Stockholder votes its shares.

Permitted Purchases of Artemis Securities

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Artemis or its securities, the Sponsor, Novibet, Komisium, or the equity holders of Artemis and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or who redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, their Public Shares, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Artemis Common Stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates would be purchased at a price no higher than the redemption price for the Public Shares, which is currently estimated to be $10.20 per share. Any Public Shares so

230

Table of Contents

purchased would not be voted by the Sponsor or its affiliates at the Special Meeting and would not be redeemable by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of Redemptions. In the event that the Sponsor, Artemis’s directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Artemis Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. While the nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including, subject to the Investors Agreement, the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

No agreements dealing with the above arrangements or purchases have been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Artemis will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the satisfaction of any closing conditions. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that Artemis will have until April 4, 2023 (or July 4, 2023 if Artemis has executed a definitive agreement for the business combination by April 4, 2023) (collectively, the “Liquidation Date”) to complete its initial business combination. If Artemis is unable to complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date, Artemis will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Artemis Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Artemis Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to Artemis’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to Artemis Warrants, which will expire worthless if Artemis fails to complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date.

Artemis’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement with Artemis dated September 29, 2021, that they will not propose any amendment to the Existing Artemis Charter to modify the substance or timing of Artemis’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if Artemis does not complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless Artemis provides the Artemis Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. However, Artemis may not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of Public Shares such that Artemis cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement, Artemis would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of its Public Shares at such time.

Artemis expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $1.7 million of proceeds held outside the Trust Account at the time of the IPO, although Artemis cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, Artemis may request the trustee to release to Artemis an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of Artemis’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims Artemis Public Stockholders. Artemis cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.20. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, its plan of dissolution

231

Table of Contents

must provide for all claims against Artemis to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before Artemis makes any distribution of its remaining assets to its stockholders. While Artemis intends to pay such amounts, if any, Artemis cannot assure you that Artemis will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although Artemis will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than its independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which Artemis does business execute agreements with Artemis waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of Artemis Public Stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against Artemis’s assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Artemis’s management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to Artemis and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of Artemis under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where Artemis may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. The underwriters of the IPO and Artemis’s independent registered public accounting firm have not executed agreements with Artemis waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Artemis and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Artemis if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Artemis, or a prospective target business with which Artemis has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, Artemis has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has Artemis independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and Artemis believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Artemis. Therefore, Artemis cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per Public Share. In such event, Artemis may not be able to complete the Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of Artemis’s officers or directors will indemnify Artemis for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, the independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Artemis currently expects that the independent directors would take legal action on Artemis’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Artemis, it is possible that the independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, Artemis cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.20 per share.

Artemis will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which Artemis does business execute agreements with Artemis waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that Artemis liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims

232

Table of Contents

and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from Artemis’s Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of Artemis’s Trust Account distributed to Artemis Public Stockholders upon the redemption of Artemis’s Public Shares in the event Artemis does not complete its initial business combination by the Liquidation Date may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of Artemis’s Trust Account distributed to Artemis Public Stockholders upon the redemption of its Public Shares in the event Artemis does not complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If Artemis is unable to complete its initial business combination by the Liquidation Date, Artemis will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Artemis Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Artemis Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Artemis’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is Artemis’s intention to redeem its Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following the Liquidation Date and, therefore, Artemis does not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, Artemis Stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of the stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because Artemis will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Artemis to adopt a plan, based on facts known to Artemis at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against Artemis within the subsequent 10 years. However, because Artemis is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and its operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from its vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. As described above, Artemis will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which Artemis does business execute agreements with Artemis waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against Artemis are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the Trust Account is remote. Further, the Sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the Trust Account are not reduced below (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will not be liable as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

If Artemis files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Artemis that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, Artemis cannot assure you Artemis will be able to return $10.20 per share to the Artemis Public Stockholders. Additionally, if Artemis files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Artemis that is not dismissed,

233

Table of Contents

any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by Artemis Stockholders. Furthermore, the Artemis Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Artemis’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Artemis to claims of punitive damages, by paying Artemis Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Artemis cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against Artemis for these reasons.

Redemption Rights

Redemption Rights for Artemis Public Stockholders upon Completion of the Business Combination

Any holder of Public Shares as of the record date may demand that Artemis redeem such Public Shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $10.20 per Public Share as of [], 2022), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If an Artemis Public Stockholder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, Artemis will redeem these Public Shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account, and the Artemis Public Stockholder will no longer own these Public Shares following the Business Combination.

The per share amount Artemis will distribute to Artemis Public Stockholder who properly redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions it pays to the representatives of the underwriters. The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with Artemis, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Sponsor Shares and Public Shares they may hold in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. The Sponsor and Artemis’s officers, and directors did not receive separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights.

Limitations on Redemptions

Our Existing Artemis Charter provides that in no event will Artemis redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In addition, the Business Combination Agreement imposes a minimum cash requirement. In the event the aggregate cash consideration Artemis would be required to pay for all shares of Class A Common Stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to it, Artemis will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares in connection with such Business Combination, and all shares of Class A Common Stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. Artemis may, however, raise funds through additional debt or equity financing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Artemis Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares, without Artemis’s prior consent. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as group, will not be redeemed for cash.

Manner of Conducting Redemptions

Each Artemis Public Stockholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or whether they were a stockholder on the record date for the stockholder meeting held to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Holders of Public Shares who wish to exercise their redemption rights must, prior to [time], Eastern time, on [], 2022 (two business days prior to the scheduled date of the Special Meeting), (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Artemis’s transfer agent, that Artemis redeem their Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver their Public Shares to the Transfer Agent physically or electronically using the DTC’s DWAC (Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian).

234

Table of Contents

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In such case, Artemis will promptly return any Public Shares delivered by such holders.

Delivering Stock Certificates in Connection with the Exercise of Redemption Rights

Public Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated, this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their Public Shares.

Any request to redeem such Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with Artemis’s consent, until the Closing. A stockholder that has delivered his, her or its Public Shares to the Transfer Agent in connection with a redemption request who subsequently decides not to exercise redemption rights may withdraw the redemption request any time prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing, by contacting the Transfer Agent and requesting that it return the Public Shares (physically or electronically) to such stockholder.

Facilities

Artemis currently maintains its principal executive offices at 3310 East Corona Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85040. The cost for this space, as well as for secretarial and administrative support services, is provided by the Sponsor at a rate of $10,000 per-month pursuant to a letter agreement between Artemis and the Sponsor. Artemis believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in the relevant areas, that the fee charged by the Sponsor is at least as favorable as Artemis could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. Artemis considers its current office space adequate for its current operations.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination or Artemis’s liquidation, Artemis will cease paying these monthly fees.

Employees

Artemis has four officers: Holly Gagnon, Philip Kaplan, Thomas Granite, and Scott Shulak. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Artemis’s matters and they intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to its affairs. Artemis does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Our advisors provided guidance to us in the completion of the IPO, assisted us in sourcing and negotiating with potential business combination targets and provided business insights when we assessed potential business combination targets. We expect our advisors to, upon our request, provide business insights as we work to create additional value in the businesses that we acquire. In this regard, our advisors will fulfill some of the same functions as our board members. However, our advisors have no written advisory agreement with us, nor do they have any other employment arrangements with us. Moreover, our advisors will not be under any fiduciary obligation to us nor will they perform board or committee functions, nor will they have any voting or decision making capacity on our behalf. Our advisors will not be required to devote any specific amount of time to our efforts or be subject to the fiduciary requirements to which our board members are subject. Accordingly, if our advisors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for any of the entities to which they have fiduciary or contractual obligations, they will honor their fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity. We may modify or expand our roster of advisors as we source potential business combination targets or create value in businesses that we may acquire.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

The Artemis Board consists of six members and is divided into three classes with only annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mr. Anfinson and Mr. Butler, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Ms. Massion and Mr. Nodarse-León, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Ms. Gagnon and Mr. Wanger, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders.

Our officers are appointed by the Artemis Board and serve at the discretion of the Artemis Board, rather than for specific terms of office. The Artemis Board is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our Existing Artemis Charter.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of the Artemis Board be independent within one year of our initial public offering. The Artemis Board has determined that five are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Committees of the Artemis Board

The Artemis Board has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

Mr. Anfinson, Ms. Massion and Mr. Nodarse-León serve as members of our audit committee, all of whom are independent.

Ms. Massion serves as the chairperson of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and the Artemis Board has determined that Ms. Massion qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

The audit committee is responsible for:

meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;
monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;
verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;
appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;
determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

238

Table of Contents

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;
monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of the IPO and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of the IPO; and
reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing stockholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by the Artemis Board, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

Compensation Committee

Mr. Anfinson, Mr. Butler and Mr. Wanger serve as members of our compensation committee, and Mr. Butler serves as chairman of the compensation committee. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Co-Chief Executive Officers’ compensation evaluating our Co-Chief Executive Officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Co-Chief Executive Officers based on such evaluation;
reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;
reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;
implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;
producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The compensation committee charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the Artemis Board. The Artemis Board believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Mr. Butler and Mr. Wanger. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The Artemis Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special

239

Table of Contents

meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Artemis Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Artemis Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Artemis Board.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of Artemis’s directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to Artemis. Commencing on the date that Artemis’s securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of its initial business combination and its liquidation, Artemis will pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of Artemis’s management team. In addition, the Sponsor, Artemis’s executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Artemis’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.

Artemis’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that are made to the Sponsor, Artemis’s executive officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination are made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by Artemis to the Sponsor, Artemis’s executive officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of Artemis’s initial business combination.

After the completion of Artemis’s initial business combination, directors or members of Artemis’s management team who remain may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the post-combination company. For a discussion of executive compensation arrangements after the closing of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Executive Compensation — Executive Officer and Director Compensation Following the Business Combination.”

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against Artemis or any members of Artemis’s management team in their capacity as such, and Artemis and the members of Artemis’s management team have not been subject to any such proceeding in the 12 months preceding the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

Artemis has registered the Artemis Units, Artemis Class A Common Stock, and Artemis Warrants under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement that it file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. Artemis has filed with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Artemis has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to its directors, officers and employees. You can review these documents by accessing Artemis’s public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from Artemis.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables present, as of the dates and for the periods presented, unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of PubCo and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the consummation of the Business Combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X (as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”) and is provided to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 combines the historical balance sheet of each of Novibet and Artemis as of December 31, 2021, giving pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on December 31, 2021. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 combines the historical statement of operations of Novibet for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the historical statement of operations of Artemis for the period from January 4, 2021 (incorporation date) to December 31, 2021, giving pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The historical financial information of Novibet was derived from the audited financial statements of Novibet as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the historical financial information of Artemis was derived from the audited financial statements of Artemis as of the end of and for the period from January 4, 2021 (incorporation date) to December 31, 2021, all of which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The historical financial statements of Novibet have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in its presentation currency of the euro. The historical financial statements of Artemis have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in its presentation currency of the U.S. dollar. Following the Business Combination, PubCo will qualify as a foreign private issuer and will prepare its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, and no material accounting policy difference is identified in converting Artemis’s historical financial statements to IFRS. See “Presentation of Novibet’s Financial Information.” The historical financial information of Novibet included in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented in its presentation currency of the euro and as translated from euro to U.S. dollars using the historical exchange rates described in the accompanying note 3 (Foreign currency adjustments) below. See “Exchange Rate Information.”

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to indicate the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not consider any potential impacts of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, acquisitions, and share repurchases, among other factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. As a result, actual results may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in this section.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a common control business combination. Under this method of accounting, while PubCo is the legal acquirer of both Novibet and Artemis, (i) PubCo will be the successor to Novibet, which is the accounting predecessor, and (ii) Novibet has been identified as the accounting acquirer of Artemis. Artemis is not recognized as a business under IFRS, given it consists primarily of cash in Artemis’s operating account and in the Trust Account. Accordingly, PubCo’s acquisition of Artemis will be treated as an asset acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of PubCo will reflect the net assets of Novibet and Artemis at historical cost, with no additional goodwill recognized.

Novibet has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the minimum and maximum redemption scenarios:

Komisium, Novibet’s sole shareholder, will have the largest portion of relative voting rights in PubCo (regardless of the number of Artemis Public Stockholders that elect to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination);
the initial PubCo Board will consist of 5 directors, with 3 directors nominated by Komisium and 2 directors nominated by Artemis;

241

Table of Contents

Novibet’s existing operations will represent all the ongoing operations of the post-combination company; and
the purpose and intent of the Business Combination is to create an operating public company, with management continuing to use the Novibet name to grow the business.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption by Artemis Public Stockholders of Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account (as of two business days prior to the Closing):

Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no Artemis Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares.
Assuming 50% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that Artemis will satisfy the requirement to have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if one-half of all Artemis Public Stockholders holding 10,062,500 Public Shares exercise their redemption rights for approximately $102.6 million of funds in the Trust Account as of [•], 2022, or approximately $10.20 per share.
Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that Artemis will satisfy the requirement to have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if all Artemis Public Stockholders holding 20,125,000 Public Shares exercise their redemption rights for the approximately $205.3 million of funds in the Trust Account as of [•], 2022, or approximately $10.20 per share.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented under each redemptions scenario in the tables below is only presented for illustrative purposes. Artemis cannot predict how many Artemis Public Stockholders will exercise their right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts assumed in the preparation of the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, actual results may also differ from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in this section if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination — The ability of the Artemis Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of the Public Shares may not allow Artemis to complete the Business Combination, have sufficient cash available to fund PubCo’s business or optimize the capital structure of PubCo.”

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.

Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a common control business combination whereby PubCo will be the successor to Novibet, which is the accounting predecessor. The common control business combination will be immediately followed by PubCo acquiring Artemis, which will be effectuated by Merger Sub merging with and into Artemis, with Artemis being the surviving entity. As Artemis will not be recognized as a business under IFRS given it consists primarily of cash in Artemis’s operating account and in the Trust Account, PubCo ’s acquisition of Artemis will be treated as an asset acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of PubCo will reflect the net assets of Novibet and Artemis at historical cost, with no additional goodwill recognized.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on December 31, 2021. The period is presented on the basis of Novibet as the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

Artemis’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and
Novibet’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

Artemis’s audited statement of operations for the period from January 4, 2021 (inception date) to December 31, 2021 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and
Novibet’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Artemis management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the effect of exercising the 10,062,500 Public Warrants and the 10,000,000 Private Placement Warrants which will be assumed by PubCo and will be exercisable for one PubCo Ordinary Share in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, because the exercise of such warrants is subject to certain terms and conditions as set forth in the Assumed Warrant Agreement. Issuance of such PubCo Ordinary Shares would have a further dilutive effect on existing holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares as described in further detail in “Proposal No. 1 - The Business Combination Proposal - The Business Combination Agreement - Ownership of PubCo following the Business Combination”.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the effect of the issuance of any portion of the Deferred Share Consideration and Earnout Consideration in total of 22,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares, because the issuance of such Deferred Share Consideration and Earnout Consideration is subject to certain terms and conditions as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Issuance of such Deferred Share Consideration and Earnout Consideration would have a further dilutive effect on existing holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares as described in further detail in “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Ownership of PubCo following the Business Combination”.

245

Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Artemis believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma adjustments, which are described in these notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Artemis believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of each of Artemis and Novibet.

2.

Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo’s management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, PubCo management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on its initial analysis, Artemis management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

3.

Foreign currency adjustments

The historical financial information of Novibet was prepared and presented in euro. The historical financial information was translated from euro to U.S. dollars using the following historical exchange rates:

    

$/ €

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

General

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and related transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X (as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”). Release No. 33-10786 replaces the previous pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). PubCo has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and is only presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had PubCo filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per Ordinary Share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2021.

246

Table of Contents

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:

(A)Reflects the release of all funds held in the Trust Account (if any) to PubCo, after giving effect to the Redemptions in the particular redemption scenario. In the No Redemptions Scenario, assumes no Artemis Public Stockholder elects to have its Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, resulting in a disbursement from the Trust Account to PubCo in the amount of $205,275,000. In the 50% Redemptions Scenario, assumes that one-half of all Artemis Public Stockholders holding 10,062,500 Public Shares exercise their redemption rights for approximately $10.20 per share, or an aggregate of $102,637,500 of funds in the Trust Account, resulting in a disbursement from the Trust Account to PubCo in the amount of $102,637,500. In the 100% Redemptions Scenario, assumes that all Artemis Public Stockholders holding all 20,125,000 Public Shares exercise their redemption rights for approximately $10.20 per share, or an aggregate of $205,275,000 of funds in the Trust Account, resulting in no disbursement from the Trust Account to PubCo.
(B)Reflects the payment of an assumed amount of Closing Cash Consideration to Komisium under the particular redemption scenario. In the No Redemptions Scenario, assumes that $50 million of Closing Cash Consideration is paid to Komisium. In the 50% Redemptions Scenario, assumes that approximately $2.6 million of Closing Cash Consideration is paid to Komisium. In the 100% Redemptions Scenario, assumes that no Closing Cash Consideration is paid to Komisium.
(C)Reflects deferred IPO costs of Artemis upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
(D)Reflects the payment of Transaction Expenses estimated to total approximately $17.1 million.
(E)Reflects the release of all funds held in the Trust Account in connection with the Business Combination.
(F)Represents the elimination of Artemis’s interest income related to the cash held in the Trust Account.
(G)Reflects the reclassification of “Advances from Shareholders” in the historical balance sheet of Novibet as of December 31, 2021 to current liabilities of PubCo because the obligations represented thereby will be either repaid or assumed by PubCo at the Closing.
(H)Reflects the 20,125,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock that will be either redeemed as part of the Redemptions or converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination.
(I)Following the Business Combination, the financial statements will be consolidated at the PubCo level. As a result, the adjustments reflect the reclassification of Novibet Other Reserves to PubCo Additional paid-in capital and Retained Earnings with a reduction in PubCo Additional paid-in capital equal to the PubCo Ordinary Shares less Novibet share capital.
(J)Reflects the conversion of each share of Artemis Class A Common Stock into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share of a nominal value of $1 each at a premium of $9.20 per share in each redemption scenario. For a more detailed overview of the capitalization of PubCo following the Business Combination, see “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Ownership of PubCo following the Business Combination.”
(K)Reflects the conversion of 5,031,250 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock into 5,031,250 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the Artemis Charter and, in addition, the conversion of such shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock into 5,031,250 PubCo Ordinary Shares. For a more detailed overview of the capitalization of PubCo following the Business Combination, see “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Ownership of PubCo following the Business Combination.”
(L)Reflects the reclassification of Artemis accumulated deficit to PubCo additional paid in capital.
(M)Reflects the reclassification of deferred underwriting commissions to additional paid in capital. Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned from its role as financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis and waived its entitlement to all fees in connection with its role as financial and capital markets advisor and to its portion of the deferred underwriting commission. Effective as of July 20, 2022, BMO notified Artemis that BMO will cease to act for Artemis and the Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination and

247

Table of Contents

waived its entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO. The aggregate amount of fees and underwriting commissions waived by Barclays and BMO is approximately $10 million.
(N)Reflects the existing share capital in PubCo held by Komisium comprising of 65,000 ordinary shares of $1 each.
(O)Reflects the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares to Komisium.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 are as follows:

(AA) Reflects the elimination of Artemis interest income related to the cash held in the Trust account.

(BB) Represents the elimination of Transaction Expenses.

5.

Net Profit per Common Share

Represents the net profit per common share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2021. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net profit per common share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming alternative levels of redemption by Artemis’s Public Stockholders of shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing) in the Trust Account for the year ended December 31, 2021:

Pursuant to the Investors Agreement, (a) for as long as the Sponsor beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, the Sponsor will be entitled to appoint two members of the PubCo Board; provided that at least one such board member must satisfy Nasdaq diversity requirements and each such board member must satisfy Nasdaq independence requirements; (b) for as long as the Sponsor is entitled to appoint any member of the PubCo Board pursuant to the Investors Agreement, Komisium will agree to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Sponsor’s nominee appointed to the PubCo Board, including soliciting votes in favor of the election of any such director at any meeting of PubCo’s shareholders; and (c) for as long as the Sponsor or Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, each will agree that it will not, without the approval of the PubCo Board and except as set forth therein, (i) enter into, propose or seek any merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring or other extraordinary transaction involving PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) initiate or participate in any proxy solicitation or (iii) publicly nominate or recommend for nomination a person for election at any PubCo Shareholder meeting.

The Investors Agreement will further provide that: (a) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint three members of the PubCo Board; provided that at least one such board member must satisfy Nasdaq independence requirements; (b) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 40% but less than 50% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint two members of the PubCo Board, neither of whom will be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements; (c) for as long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 5% but less than 40% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint one member of the PubCo Board, who will not be required to satisfy Nasdaq independence or diversity requirements; and (d) for so long as Komisium beneficially owns a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares representing at least 15% of the total voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, Komisium will be entitled to appoint the Chairperson of the PubCo Board.

The Investors Agreement will further provide that the Sponsor’s or Komisium’s right to appoint the applicable a director terminates at any time the Sponsor or Komisium, as applicable, ceases to beneficially own the voting power of PubCo’s then issued and outstanding equity interests representing at least the minimum applicable percentage specified above. In that event, the Sponsor or Komisium, as applicable will cause the applicable director to resign from the PubCo Board and, upon acceptance of such resignation, the applicable PubCo Board seat will be subject to the election of all shareholders of PubCo in accordance with the Articles.

Director Independence

Initially, three of the five PubCo directors (the Class I and Class II directors) shall be “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, provided, however, that if at any time one of these three Class I or Class II independent directors are not independent because of the death, resignation, bankruptcy, adjudicated incompetence, removal or change in circumstance of any director who was an independent director, such Class I director and/or Class II director shall be deemed to have resigned and vacated their office immediately and the party who initially appointed such director shall appoint a new independent director. Pursuant to applicable rules, an independent director is one who has no direct or indirect relationship with PubCo that could, in the view of the board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with a director’s independent judgment.

Board Committees

The PubCo Board will have an audit committee and a compensation committee, described below. As a foreign private issuer, under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq, we are not required to have independent directors on our board of directors, except that our audit committee is required to consist fully of independent directors, subject to certain phase-in schedules. We expect that our board of directors will determine that none of our Class I and Class II directors has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of director and that each of these three directors is “independent” as that term is defined under Nasdaq rules.

Audit Committee

The audit committee will consist of Holly Gagnon, Philip Kaplan, and Samouil Samis David. Ms. Gagnon will be the chairperson of the audit committee. PubCo has determined that Ms. Gagnon satisfies the criteria of an audit committee financial expert as set forth

250

Table of Contents

under the applicable rules of the SEC. Each of Ms. Gagnon, Mr. Kaplan, and Mr. David satisfies the requirements for an “independent director” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

The audit committee will oversee PubCo’s accounting and financial reporting processes. The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

overseeing the relationship with PubCo’s independent auditors, including:
appointing, retaining and determining the compensation of PubCo’s independent auditors;
approving auditing and pre-approving non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;
discussing with the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audits and other financial reviews;
reviewing a least annually the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditors;
reviewing reports from the independent auditors regarding all critical accounting policies and practices to be used by PubCo and all other material written communications between the independent auditors and management; and
reviewing and resolving any disagreements between management and the independent auditors regarding financial controls or financial reporting;
overseeing the internal audit function, including conducting an annual appraisal of the internal audit function, reviewing and discussing with management the appointment of the head of internal audit, at least quarterly meetings between the chairperson of the audit committee and the head of internal audit, reviewing any significant issues raised in reports to management by internal audit and ensuring that there are no unjustified restrictions or limitations on the internal audit function and that it has sufficient resources;
reviewing and recommending all related party transactions to the PubCo Board for approval, and reviewing and approving all changes to PubCo’s related party transactions policy;
reviewing and discussing with management the annual audited financial statements and the design, implementation, adequacy and effectiveness of PubCo’s internal controls;
overseeing risks and exposure associated with financial matters; and
establishing and overseeing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received from PubCo employees regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by PubCo employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting, auditing and internal control matters.

Compensation Committee

Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo’s board of directors intends to establish a compensation committee. It is expected that the compensation committee will consist of Holly Gagnon, Philip Kaplan, and Samouil Samis David with Mr. Kaplan serving as the chairperson of the compensation committee. The compensation committee will have a written charter and will oversee PubCo’s compensation of its executive officers and directors. The compensation committee will assist the board in determining its responsibilities in relation to remuneration, including making recommendations to the board on PubCo’s policy on executive compensation, determining the individual remuneration and benefits package of each of the executive directors, and recommending and monitoring the remuneration of senior management below board level, as the board so directs.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Artemis entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to certain limitations, against all liabilities, costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such individuals in an action or proceeding to which any such individual was made a party by reason of being an officer or director of Artemis or an organization of which Artemis is a shareholder or creditor if such individual serves such organization at Artemis’s request. Such indemnification obligation will survive the Business Combination. Additionally, prior to the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo intends to enter into similar indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain officers.

Arrangements for Election of Directors

In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and Komisium have agreed to cause the size of PubCo’s board of directors to be fixed at five members, who will initially be Rodolfo Odoni, George Athanasopoulos, Holly Gagnon, Philip Kaplan, and Samouil Samis David. Rodolfo Odoni has been appointed to serve as Chairperson of the board of directors of PubCo.

Corporate Governance Practices

After the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo will be a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. As a foreign private issuer we will be permitted to comply with corporate governance practices of the law of England and Wales (collectively, “Home Country Practice”) instead of certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules, provided that we disclose which requirements we will not follow and the equivalent Home Country Practice that we will comply with instead.

We intend to rely on this “foreign private issuer exemption” in lieu of certain of the rules in the Nasdaq Rule 5600 Series and Rule 5250(d), provided that we nevertheless comply with Nasdaq’s Notification of Noncompliance requirement (Rule 5625), and that we have an audit committee that satisfies Rule 5605(c)(3), consisting of committee members that meet the independence requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii). We intend to comply with the Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to foreign private issuers, which means that we are permitted to follow certain corporate governance rules that conform to U.K. requirements in lieu of many of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Accordingly, our shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. We may utilize these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

In connection with the Closing, PubCo will adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”), applicable to all of its directors, officers and employees. The Code of Conduct will set out PubCo’s fundamental values and standards of behavior that are expected from PubCo’s directors, officers and employees with respect to all aspects of PubCo’s business. The objective of the Code of Conduct will be to provide guidelines for maintaining PubCo’s integrity, reputation and honesty with a goal of honoring others’ trust in PubCo at all times. The Code of Conduct will set out guidance with respect to conflicts of interest, protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities, confidentiality of corporate information, fair dealing with third parties, compliance with laws and reporting of any illegal or unethical behavior.

PubCo’s audit committee is responsible for reviewing and evaluating the Code of Conduct periodically and will recommend any necessary or appropriate changes thereto to the board of directors for consideration. The audit committee will also assist PubCo’s Board with the monitoring of compliance with the Code of Conduct, and will be responsible for considering any waivers of the Code of Conduct (other than waivers applicable to PubCo’s directors or executive officers, which shall be subject to review by the board of directors as a whole).

A copy of the Code of Conduct will be available on PubCo’s website.

Conflicts of Interest

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and
it would not be fair to our company and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware law. The Existing Artemis Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations:

Diversity

PubCo recognizes the importance and benefit of having a board of directors and senior management composed of highly talented and experienced individuals having regard to the need to foster and promote diversity among board members and senior management with respect to attributes such as gender, ethnicity and other factors. In support of this goal, the PubCo board of directors will, when

253

Table of Contents

identifying candidates to nominate for election to PubCo’s board of directors or appoint as senior management or in its review of senior management succession planning and talent management, consider diversity from a number of aspects, including, but not limited to, gender, age, disability, ethnicity and cultural diversity.

PubCo does not expect to adopt a written policy regarding the identification and nomination of women directors, or formal targets regarding the number of women on PubCo’s board of directors or in executive officer positions, because it believes the nominating and governance committee and management will generally identify, evaluate and recommend candidates that, as a whole, consist of individuals with various and relevant career experience, industry knowledge and experience, and financial and other specialized experience, while taking diversity, including gender diversity, into account, in compliance with its governing articles.

Family Relationships

Panagiotis Peter Trataris is a director of Logflex MT Holding Limited and its subsidiaries: Novigroup Ltd., Logflex MT Ltd., Boflex Ltd., iFlex Ltd., Afriflex Ltd., Abraserve Ltd., Dicapl LP, and Novibet USA, Inc.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — Artemis

Sponsor Shares

On January 5, 2021, Artemis issued 4,312,500 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock to the Sponsor in consideration for the Sponsor paying certain offering and formation costs on behalf of Artemis with a value of $25,000. The number of such Sponsor Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of this IPO would be a maximum of 20,125,000 Artemis Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore that such Sponsor Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. On March 16, 2021, Artemis effected a stock split of such shares, resulting in an aggregate of 5,031,250 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock outstanding and held by the Sponsor. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock and Artemis issued 1,618,434 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock to the Artemis Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Sponsor Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial business combination; and (ii) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, bonus share issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Artemis Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

On October 4, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and the Artemis Anchor Investors purchased an aggregate of 10,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Artemis Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The proceeds from the sales of these Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If Artemis does not complete a business combination by the Liquidation Date, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants that are held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Artemis Class A Common Stock (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan funds to Artemis as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. If Artemis completes a business combination, Artemis would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to Artemis. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a business combination does not close, Artemis may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Administrative Services Agreement

Artemis entered into an agreement, commencing on September 29, 2021, through the earlier of Artemis’s consummation of a business combination and Artemis’s liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support.

Table of Contents

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 29, 2021, the holders of the Sponsor Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Sponsor Shares) will be entitled to registration rights, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Sponsor Shares, only after conversion to shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that Artemis register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a business combination and rights to require Artemis to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Artemis will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

Prior to their resignation, the underwriters of Artemis’s IPO were entitled to deferred underwriting fee commissions approximately $7,043,750 in the aggregate. The deferred underwriting commissions were payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that Artemis completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account in the event Artemis does not complete a business combination within the prescribed time period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares.

Effective as of July 14, 2022, Barclays resigned and withdrew from its role as financial and capital markets advisor to Artemis and waived its entitlement to all fees in connection with the Business Combination, including its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions. Effective as of July 20, 2022, BMO, one of the underwriters in the IPO, waived its entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the IPO.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — PubCo

Indemnification Under Restated Articles; Indemnification Agreements

The Restated Articles, as will be in effect following the consummation of the Business Combination pending stockholder approval at the special meeting, provide that PubCo will indemnify its directors and officers to the extent the disinterested members of the PubCo board of directors may determine.

We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements will provide the indemnitees with contractual rights to indemnification, and expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under Guernsey law, subject to certain exceptions contained in those agreements.

Policy Regarding Related Party Transactions After the Business Combination

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo intends to adopt a policy and procedures whereby its audit committee will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions. In addition, PubCo’s Code of Ethics will require that all of our employees and directors inform PubCo of any material transaction or relationship that comes to their attention that could reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — Novibet

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO WARRANTS

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Artemis, PubCo, and Continental will enter into the Warrant Assignment, Assumption, and Amendment Agreement, pursuant to which: (a) each Artemis Warrant will be assumed by PubCo and will be exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, for one (1) PubCo Ordinary Share and (b) Artemis will assign to PubCo all of Artemis’s right, title, and interest in and to the existing Warrant Agreement with Continental and PubCo will assume, and agree to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, all of Artemis’s liabilities and obligations under the existing Warrant Agreement arising from and after the Closing.

The following provides a summary of the material provisions of the Assumed Warrant Agreement governing the PubCo Warrants.

Warrants

General

Each PubCo Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days following the Effective Time. However, no PubCo Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless PubCo has an effective and current registration statement covering the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such PubCo Ordinary Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the public PubCo Warrants is not effective within 60 business days following the consummation of the Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when PubCo shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise PubCo Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their PubCo Warrants on a cashless basis. In the event of such cashless exercise, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the PubCo Warrants for that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the PubCo Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares for the five trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise. The PubCo Warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption.

The private PubCo Warrants are identical to the public PubCo Warrants except that the private PubCo Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are not redeemable by PubCo, in each case so long as they are still held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Redemption of Public Warrants for Cash

PubCo may call the Public Warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Placement Warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant:

at any time after the PubCo Warrants become exercisable,
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per PubCo Ordinary Share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing at any time after the PubCo Warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its Public Warrant prior to the scheduled

260

Table of Contents

redemption date. However, the price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of PubCo Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination as described in our Prospectus) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

When the Public Warrants become redeemable for cash, PubCo may exercise its redemption right even if there is not a current registration statement in effect with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying such PubCo Warrants.

Redemption of PubCo Warrants for PubCo Ordinary Shares

Commencing 90 days after the PubCo Warrants become exercisable, PubCo may redeem the outstanding PubCo Warrants:

in whole and not in part;
at $0.10 per PubCo Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their PubCo Warrants prior to redemption and receive that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares determined by reference to the table below based on the redemption date and the fair market value of PubCo Ordinary Shares, except as described below;
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders;
and only if, the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently exchanged at the same price (equal to a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares) as the outstanding Public Warrants and
if and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto available throughout the 30-day period after written notice of redemption is given.

The numbers in the table below represent the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that a warrant holder will receive upon exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of PubCo Ordinary Shares on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their PubCo Warrants and such PubCo Warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined based on the average of the last reported sales price for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of PubCo Warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the PubCo Warrants, each as set forth in the table below.

261

Table of Contents

The stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a PubCo Warrant is adjusted as set forth in the first three paragraphs under the heading “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. The adjusted stock prices in the column headings will equal the stock prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a PubCo Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a PubCo Warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a PubCo Warrant.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued for each PubCo Warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the average last reported sale price of PubCo Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading date prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the PubCo Warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the PubCo Warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their PubCo Warrants for 0.277 PubCo Ordinary Shares for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the average last reported sale price of PubCo Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading date prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the PubCo Warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the PubCo Warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their PubCo Warrants for 0.298 PubCo Ordinary Shares for each whole warrant. In no event will the PubCo Warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 PubCo Ordinary Shares per warrant. Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the PubCo Warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any PubCo Ordinary Shares.

This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding PubCo Warrants to be redeemed when the PubCo Ordinary Shares are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of PubCo Ordinary Shares is below the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants. We have established this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the PubCo Warrants without the PubCo Warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “—Redemption of PubCo Warrants for Cash.” Holders choosing to exercise their PubCo Warrants in connection with a redemption

262

Table of Contents

pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their PubCo Warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input. This redemption right provides us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding PubCo Warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital structure as the PubCo Warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed and we will be required to pay the redemption price to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right and it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the PubCo Warrants if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the PubCo Warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.

As stated above, we can redeem the PubCo Warrants when the PubCo Ordinary Shares are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their PubCo Warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If we choose to redeem the PubCo Warrants when the PubCo Ordinary Shares are trading at a price below the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer PubCo Ordinary Shares than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their PubCo Warrants for PubCo Ordinary Shares if and when such PubCo Ordinary Shares were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.

No fractional PubCo Ordinary Shares will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the PubCo Warrants are exercisable for a security other than the PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Assumed Warrant Agreement, the PubCo Warrants may be exercised for such security.

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the PubCo Warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a PubCo Warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s PubCo Warrant upon surrender of such PubCo Warrant.

Redemption Procedures

In the event that PubCo determines to redeem the PubCo Warrants, holders of such redeemable warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in our warrant agreement. Specifically, in the event that PubCo elects to redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, PubCo will fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and a notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by PubCo not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holders of the redeemable warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner provided in the warrant agreement will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder receives such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via PubCo’s posting of the redemption notice to DTC.

If we call the PubCo Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise PubCo Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of PubCo Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the PubCo Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the PubCo Warrants for that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the PubCo Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose shall mean the average reported closing price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of PubCo Warrants.

If our management takes advantage of this cashless exercise option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be received upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the PubCo Warrants after our initial business combination. If we call the PubCo Warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the Private Placement Warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described

263

Table of Contents

above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their PubCo Warrants on a cashless basis.

Registered Form

The PubCo Warrants, which are the Artemis Warrants that will become exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares, are in registered form and will be governed by a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Artemis, as assigned to PubCo pursuant to an assignment, assumption and amendment agreement, to be entered into among Artemis, PubCo, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. The Assumed Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the PubCo Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval, by written consent or vote, of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding PubCo Warrants in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders.

Anti-dilution Adjustments

If the number of outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in PubCo Ordinary Shares, or by a split-up of PubCo Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, split-up or similar event, the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each PubCo Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares. A rights offering to holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares) and (ii)the quotient of (x) the price per share of PubCo Ordinary Shares paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for PubCo Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of PubCo Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the PubCo Ordinary Shares trades on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the PubCo Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares on account of such PubCo Ordinary Shares (or other securities into which the PubCo Warrants are convertible), other than as described above or certain ordinary cash dividends, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each PubCo Ordinary Share in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of PubCo Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each PubCo Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Whenever the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the PubCo Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the PubCo Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such PubCo Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the PubCo Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the PubCo Warrants and in lieu of the PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of PubCo Ordinary Shares or other securities or

264

Table of Contents

property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the PubCo Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their PubCo Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares in such a transaction is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the PubCo Warrant properly exercises the warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Assumed Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Assumed Warrant Agreement) of the PubCo Warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the PubCo Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the PubCo Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the PubCo Warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the PubCo Warrants.

Exercise of PubCo Warrants

The PubCo Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate or electronic delivery of the PubCo Warrants on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of PubCo Warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares and any voting rights until they exercise their PubCo Warrants and receive PubCo Ordinary Shares. After the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their PubCo Warrants such that an electing warrant holder would not be able to exercise their PubCo Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding.

Transfer Restrictions

The Sponsor and the Anchor Investors holding Anchor Investor Warrants have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. Additionally, pursuant to the Investors Agreement, the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Sponsor and Komisium will be subject to transfer restrictions until the earlier of (a) one year after the Closing or (b) the date on which the closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, bonus share issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing. The Investors Agreement further provides that, notwithstanding the transfer restrictions set forth therein, (i) Komisium will be expressly permitted to sell that number of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to 0.3 multiplied by the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Share Exchange, and (ii) certain other customary transfers will be expressly permitted during the lock-up period.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES

A summary of the material provisions governing PubCo’s share capital immediately following the completion of the Business Combination is described below. This summary is not complete and should be read together with the Restated Articles, a copy of which is appended to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

General

This section summarizes the material rights of holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares under the Companies Act (defined below), and the material provisions of the Restated Articles.

PubCo is a public limited company incorporated in England (company number 13885583) and its affairs will be governed by the Restated Articles, the U.K. Companies Act 2006 and English law. PubCo was incorporated as a private limited company in England on February 1, 2022 and re-registered as a public limited company in England on February 15, 2022.

Share Capital

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PubCo’s issued share capital was 65,000 ordinary shares of US$1.00 each.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the PubCo Board will be authorized to issue and allot, and to grant rights to subscribe for [].

Preemption rights

Subject to certain exceptions, U.K. company law generally requires a statutory pre-emption right to be observed when new ordinary shares are issued (or rights are granted to subscribe for or convert any security into ordinary shares) for cash; however, it is possible for the articles of association, or shareholders in a general meeting by means of a special resolution (passed by at least 75% of the votes cast), to exclude preemptive rights. Such an exclusion of pre-emptive rights may be for a maximum period of five years from the date of adoption of the Restated Articles, or the “Date of Adoption”, if the exclusion is contained in the articles of association, or from the date of the shareholder resolution, if the exclusion is by shareholder resolution. In either case, this exclusion would need to be renewed by PubCo’s shareholders upon its expiration (i.e., at least every five years).

Voting Rights and Restrictions on Voting

Pursuant to the Restated Articles, holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class with the holders of the other voting shares in the capital of the Company on all matters submitted to the shareholders of PubCo for their vote or approval, other than with respect to matters that require a class vote.

Dividends and Other Distributions

PubCo may by ordinary resolution of the shareholders declare dividends out of profits available for distribution in accordance with the respective rights of shareholders but no such dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors. The PubCo board may from time to time pay shareholders such interim dividends as appear to the board to be justified by PubCo financial position.

Subject to any rights attaching to or the terms of issue of any share, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the ordinary shares; but no amount paid on a share in advance of the date on which a call is payable shall be treated for the purpose of this section as paid on the share. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but, if any share is allotted or issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

No dividend or other moneys payable by PubCo on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against it unless otherwise provided by the rights attached to the share or the provisions of another agreement between the shareholder and PubCo. Any dividend

266

Table of Contents

unclaimed after a period of 12 years from the date such dividend became due for payment shall be forfeited and cease to remain owing.

Dividends may be declared or paid in any currency and the board may decide the rate of exchange for any currency conversions that may be required, and how any costs involved are to be met, in relation to the currency of any dividend.

Any general meeting declaring a dividend may by ordinary resolution of shareholders, upon the recommendation of the board, direct payment or satisfaction of such dividend wholly or in part by the distribution of non-cash assets of equivalent value, including without limitation paid up shares or debentures of another body corporate.

The directors may, if authorized by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, offer any holders of ordinary shares the right to elect to receive in lieu of a dividend, or part of a dividend, an allotment of ordinary shares credited as fully paid up.

Each holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares participates equally with the other holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares in relation to distributions, whether in the form of dividends, return of capital on a winding up or any other means in proportion to the number of ordinary shares held by them.

Transferability

Subject to the terms of the Restated Articles, any shareholder holding shares in certificated form may transfer all or any of their shares by an instrument of transfer in any usual form or any other form approved by the board. Any written instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and (in the case of a partly paid share) the transferee.

In the case of uncertificated shares, the directors may take such action as they consider appropriate to achieve a transfer. The Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 permit shares to be issued and held in uncertificated form and transferred by means of a computer-based system.

The board may decline to register any transfer of any share:

which is not a fully paid share;
where the transfer is not lodged at the registered office or such other place as the directors have appointed;
where the transfer is not accompanied by the share certificate to which it relates, or such other evidence as the board may reasonably require to show the transferor’s right to make the transfer, or evidence of the right of someone other than the transferor to make the transfer on the transferor’s behalf;
where the transfer is in respect of more than one class of share; and
where the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred exceeds four.

If the board declines to register a transfer, it must return to the transferor the instrument of transfer together with notice of the refusal, unless the board suspects that the proposed transfer may be fraudulent.

Liquidation

If PubCo is in liquidation, the liquidator may, if authorized by a special resolution of shareholders and any other authority required at law, divide among shareholders (excluding holders of treasury shares) in specie or in kind the whole or any part of its assets (whether or not the assets consist of property of one kind or consist of properties of different kinds and the liquidator may for such purpose set such value as the liquidator deems fair upon any one or more class or classes of property and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders), or vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the shareholders as the liquidator determines (and the liquidation of company

267

Table of Contents

may be closed and the company dissolved), but no shareholder shall be compelled to accept any shares or other assets upon which there is any liability or potential liability.

Variation of rights

The Restated Articles may be amended from time to time by a special resolution (passed by at least 75% of the votes cast), subject to a requirement to obtain the consent of Artemis and Komisium in relation to any amendment of repeal of their director appointment rights.

All or any of the rights and privileges attached to any class of shares issued may be varied or abrogated only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths in nominal value of the issued shares of that class (excluding any shares held as treasury shares) or by special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of such shares, subject to the other provisions of the U.K. Companies Act 2006 and the terms of such shares’ issue. The U.K. Companies Act 2006 also provides a right to object to the variation of the class rights by the shareholders who did not vote in favor of the variation. Should 15% or more of the shareholders of the issued shares in question apply to the court to have the variation canceled, the variation shall have no effect unless and until it is confirmed by the court.

Alteration to share capital

PubCo may, by ordinary resolution of shareholders, consolidate all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount per share than its existing shares, or sub-divide its shares or any of them into shares of smaller amount. PubCo may, by special resolution of shareholders, confirmed by the court, reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve or any share premium account in any manner authorized by the U.K. Companies Act 2006. PubCo may redeem or purchase all or any of its shares, subject to the requirements as set out in the U.K. Companies Act 2006.

Listing

We intend to seek to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants on Nasdaq. There is no assurance that we will be able to satisfy Nasdaq’s listing requirements initially or on an ongoing basis.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The U.S. transfer agent and registrar for PubCo Ordinary Shares will be [Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company]. Its address is [1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004-1561], and its telephone number is [(212) 509-4000]. The U.K. transfer agent for the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be [Computershare Trust Company, N.A.]. Its address is [The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, United Kingdom BS99 6ZZ], and its telephone number is [+44 (0) (370) 703-6101].

Other U.K. law considerations

Mandatory purchases and acquisitions

Pursuant to Sections 979 to 991 of the U.K. Companies Act 2006, where a takeover offer has been made for PubCo and the offeror has acquired or unconditionally contracted to acquire not less than 90% in value of the shares to which the offer relates and not less than 90% of the voting rights carried by those shares, the offeror may give notice to the holder of any shares to which the offer relates which the offeror has not acquired or unconditionally contracted to acquire that such offeror wishes to acquire, and is entitled to so acquire, those shares on the same terms as the general offer. The offeror would do so by sending a notice to the outstanding minority shareholders telling them that it will compulsorily acquire their shares. Such notice must be sent within three months of the last day on which the offer can be accepted in the prescribed manner. The squeeze-out of the minority shareholders can be completed at the end of six weeks from the date the notice has been given, subject to the minority shareholders failing to successfully lodge an application to the court to prevent such squeeze-out any time prior to the end of those six weeks, following which the offeror can execute a transfer of the outstanding shares in its favor and pay the consideration to PubCo, which it would hold the consideration in trust for the outstanding minority shareholders. The consideration offered to the outstanding minority shareholders whose shares are compulsorily acquired under the U.K. Companies Act 2006 must, in general, be the same as the consideration that was available under the takeover offer.

268

Table of Contents

Sell out

The U.K. Companies Act 2006 also gives PubCo’s minority shareholders a right to be bought out in certain circumstances by an offeror who has made a takeover offer for all of its shares. A holder of shares to which the offer relates, and who has not otherwise accepted the offer, may require the offeror to acquire their shares if, prior to the expiry of the acceptance period for such offer, the offeror has acquired or unconditionally agreed to acquire (i) not less than 90% in value of the voting shares, and (ii) not less than 90% of the voting rights carried by those shares. The offeror may impose a time limit on the rights of minority shareholders to be bought out that is not less than three months after the end of the acceptance period. If a shareholder exercises their rights to be bought out, the offeror is required to acquire such shareholder’s shares on the terms of the general takeover offer or on such other terms as may be agreed.

Disclosure of interest in shares

Pursuant to Part 22 of the U.K. Companies Act 2006, PubCo is empowered to give notice in writing to any person whom it knows or have reasonable cause to believe to be interested in its shares, or to have been so interested at any time during the three years immediately preceding the date on which the notice is issued, requiring such person, within a reasonable time, to disclose to PubCo particulars of that person’s interest and (so far as is within its knowledge) particulars of any other interest that subsists or subsisted in those shares.

Under PubCo’s articles of association, if a person defaults in supplying PubCo with the required particulars in relation to the ordinary shares in question, or “default shares”, within the prescribed period, the directors may by notice direct that:

in respect of the default shares, the relevant shareholder shall not be entitled to attend or vote (either in person or by proxy) at a general meeting or at a separate meeting of the holders of that class of shares or on a poll; and
in respect of the default shares (where they represent at least 0.25 per cent. of the issued shares of PubCo or the class in question):

§

no payment shall be made by way of dividend and no share shall be allotted pursuant to any scrip dividend;

§

no transfer of any default share shall be registered unless:

the shareholder is not itself in default in regard to supplying the information requested and the transfer when presented for registration is accompanied by a certificate by the shareholder in such form as the board may in its absolute discretion require to the effect that after due and careful inquiry the shareholder is satisfied that no person in default as regards supplying such information is interested in any of the shares which are the subject of the transfer; or
the transfer is an approved transfer.

Purchase of own shares

Under U.K. company law, a public limited company may only purchase its own shares out of the distributable profits of the company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of financing the purchase, provided that it is not restricted from doing so by their articles. A limited company may not purchase its own shares if, as a result of the purchase, there would no longer be any issued shares of the company other than redeemable shares or shares held as treasury shares. Shares must be fully paid in order to be repurchased.

PubCo may purchase its own fully paid shares otherwise than on a recognized investment exchange pursuant to a purchase contract authorized by resolution of shareholders before the purchase takes place. Any authority will not be effective if any shareholder from whom PubCo propose to purchase shares votes on the resolution and the resolution would not have been passed if he had not done so. The resolution authorizing the purchase must specify a date, such date not being later than five years after the passing of the resolution, on which the authority to purchase is to expire.

269

Table of Contents

Distributions and dividends

Under the U.K. Companies Act 2006, before a company can lawfully make a distribution or dividend, it must ensure that it has sufficient distributable reserves (on a non-consolidated basis). The basic rule is that a company’s profits available for the purpose of making a distribution are its accumulated, realized profits, so far as not previously utilized by distribution or capitalization, less its accumulated, realized losses, so far as not previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital duly made. The requirement to have sufficient distributable reserves before a distribution or dividend can be paid applies to PubCo and to each of its subsidiaries that has been incorporated in the United Kingdom.

An additional capital maintenance requirement is imposed on PubCo to ensure that the net worth of the company is at least equal to the amount of its capital. A public limited company can only make a distribution:

if, at the time that the distribution is made, the amount of its net assets (that is, the total excess of assets over liabilities) is not less than the total of its called up share capital and distributable reserves; and
if, and to the extent that, the distribution itself, at the time that it is made, does not reduce the amount of the net assets to less than that total.

Compromises and arrangements

Where PubCo and its creditors or shareholders or a class of either of them propose a compromise or arrangement between PubCo and its creditors or its shareholders or a class of either of them (as applicable), the High Court of Justice in England and Wales may order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors or of its shareholders or class of shareholders (as applicable) to be called in such a manner as the court directs. Any compromise or arrangement approved by a majority in number present and voting at the meeting representing 75% or more in value of the creditors or 75% or more of the voting rights of shareholders or class of either of them (as applicable) if sanctioned by the court, is binding upon PubCo and all the creditors, shareholders or members of the specific class of either of them (as applicable).

Whether the capital of the Company is to be treated as being divided into a single or multiple class(es) of shares is a matter to be determined by the court. The court may in its discretion treat a single class of shares as multiple classes, or multiple classes of shares as a single class, for the purposes of the shareholder approval referred to above taking into account all relevant circumstances, which may include circumstances other than the rights attaching to the shares themselves.

City code on takeovers and mergers

The U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, or the “Takeover Code,” applies, among other things, to an offer for a public limited company the registered office of which is in the United Kingdom and which is considered by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, or the “Takeover Panel,” to have its place of central management and control in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, in each case, a “Code Company.” This is known as the “residency test.” Under the Takeover Code, the Takeover Panel will determine whether PubCo has its place of central management and control in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man considering the structure of the board, the functions of the directors and where they are resident. By way of example, if a majority of the directors are resident in the United Kingdom (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man), then the “residency test” will normally be satisfied.

If in the future, the Takeover Panel determines that the residency test is satisfied, PubCo would be subject to several rules and restrictions, including but not limited to the following: (i) its ability to enter into deal protection arrangements with a bidder would be extremely limited; (ii) PubCo might not, without the approval of its shareholders, be able to perform certain actions that could have the effect of frustrating an offer, such as issuing shares or carrying out acquisitions or disposals; and (iii) PubCo would be obliged to provide equality of information to all bona fide competing bidders. The Takeover Code also contains certain rules in respect of mandatory offers for Code Companies. Under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, if a person:

acquires an interest in shares of a Code Company that, when taken together with shares in which persons acting in concert with such person are interested, carry 30% or more of the voting rights of the Code Company; or

270

Table of Contents

who, together with persons acting in concert with such person, is interested in shares that in the aggregate carry not less than 30% and not more than 50% of the voting rights in the Code Company, acquires additional interests in shares that increase the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which that person is interested, the acquirer, and, depending on the circumstances, its concert parties, would be required (except with the consent of the Takeover Panel) to make a cash offer (or provide a cash alternative) for the Code Company’s outstanding shares at a price not less than the highest price paid for any interests in the shares by the acquirer or its concert parties during the previous 12 months.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo expects a majority of its Board to be resident outside of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Based upon its current and intended plans for its directors and management, for the purposes of the Takeover Code, PubCo anticipates that the residency test will not be met. Therefore, the Takeover Code should not apply to us. It is possible that in the future changes in the Board’s composition, changes in the Takeover Panel’s interpretation of the Takeover Code, or other events may cause the Takeover Code to apply to us.

Exchange controls

There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in the United Kingdom that may affect the import or export of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by PubCo, or that may affect the remittance of dividends, interest, or other payments by PubCo to non-resident holders of its ordinary shares, other than withholding tax requirements. There is no limitation imposed by English law or in the Restated Articles on the right of non-residents to hold or vote shares.

PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Business Combination Shares

Upon completion of the Business Combination, PubCo will have up to 69,280,269 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, assuming no Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, an aggregate of $50 million in Closing Cash Consideration, no Additional Closing Share Consideration is issued, and not including Deferred Share Consideration, Earnout Consideration or PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of PubCo Warrants. All of the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable by persons other than by PubCo’s “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except 3,412,816 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor and 44,059,019 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to Komisium (assuming no redemptions and an aggregate of $50 million in Closing Cash Consideration, and not including Earnout Consideration), which are subject to the lock-up described below. Sales of substantial amounts of PubCo Ordinary Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Lock-Up Provisions

In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and Komisium have entered into the Investors Agreement, pursuant to which the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Sponsor and Komisium will be subject to transfer restrictions until the earlier of (a) 12 months after the Closing or (b) the date on which the closing price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, bonus share issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing. The Investors Agreement further provides that, notwithstanding the transfer restrictions set forth therein, (i) Komisium will be expressly permitted to sell that number of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to 0.3 multiplied by the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Share Exchange, and (ii) certain other customary transfers will be expressly permitted during the lock-up period.

Registration Rights

PubCo has agreed to give holders of certain restricted securities, including PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants, registration rights to facilitate the resale of such restricted securities. Additional details of these rights can be found under “Registration Rights.”

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares or restricted PubCo Warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares or restricted PubCo Warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

1% of the total shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares then outstanding; or
the average weekly reported trading volume of PubCo Ordinary Shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of PubCo under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about PubCo.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC, which is expected to be filed promptly after completion of the Business Combination, reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 20,125,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock outstanding, all of which are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are an aggregate of 5,031,250 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock outstanding, all of which are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are a total of 20,062,500 Artemis Warrants outstanding, consisting of 10,062,500 Public Warrants and 10,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each Artemis Warrant is exercisable for one share of Artemis Class A Common Stock (or one PubCo Ordinary Share, post-Business Combination), in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Each Artemis Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing will be converted into a warrant exercisable for an equivalent number of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Equity Compensation

PubCo and Artemis have agreed that upon the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo will engage a compensation consultant to make recommendations regarding:

(a)   an equity incentive plan for PubCo with an award pool, including an “evergreen” provision; and

(b)   an employee stock purchase plan that provides employees with purchase rights with respect to common stock, including an “evergreen” provision.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of the Company’s employees, consultants or advisors who purchases equity shares from the Company in connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of the Business Combination is eligible to resell those equity shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF PUBCO SHAREHOLDERS AND ARTEMIS STOCKHOLDERS

The rights of the shareholders of PubCo and the relative powers of the PubCo Board are governed by applicable law of the United Kingdom, including the U.K. Companies Act 2006 (“Companies Act”), and PubCo’s amended and restated articles of association (as further amended from time to time) (the “Restated Articles”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Artemis Class A Common Stock will automatically be converted into the right to receive PubCo Ordinary Shares and the Artemis Warrants will be converted into an equal number of PubCo Warrants, each of which will be exercisable for one PubCo Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each PubCo Ordinary Share will be issued in accordance with, and subject to the rights and obligations of, the Restated Articles to be in effect following the Business Combination Agreement, initially in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B. Because PubCo will be, at the Effective Time, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, the rights of the securityholders of Artemis will be governed by applicable law of the United Kingdom, including the Companies Act and the Restated Articles.

Many of the principal attributes of PubCo Ordinary Shares and Artemis Class A Common Stock will be similar. However, there are differences between the rights of shareholders of PubCo under the Companies Act and the rights of securityholders of Artemis under the DGCL. In addition, there are differences between the Restated Articles as such will be in effect from and after the consummation of the Business Combination and the Existing Artemis Charter.

The following is a summary comparison of the material differences between the rights of Artemis Stockholders under the Existing Artemis Charter, Artemis’s bylaws (the “Artemis Bylaws”), the DGCL, and the rights of PubCo Shareholders under the Companies Act, and the Restated Articles. The discussion in this section does not include a description of rights or obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws or Nasdaq listing requirements, or of PubCo’s or Artemis’s governance or other policies.

This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of the respective rights of Artemis Stockholders and PubCo Shareholders and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the Companies Act (together with applicable provisions of general law), and the governing documents of Artemis and PubCo, which we urge you to read carefully and in their entirety. Artemis and PubCo urge you to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, the Companies Act, and the other documents to which we refer in this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the differences between the rights of a PubCo Shareholder and the rights of an Artemis Stockholder. Artemis has filed its governing documents with the SEC and will send copies of these documents to you, without charge, upon your request. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.” The Restated Articles are included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

The DGCL provides that qualifying stockholders of a

U.K. company law does not provide for “appraisal rights.”

Delaware corporation may, in connection with certain mergers and consolidations in which the corporation is a constituent party, be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of the fair value of such stockholder’s shares.

However, U.K. company law does permit a minority shareholder to seek to object to a court where its shares are proposed to be compulsorily acquired.

U.K. company law permits shareholders (including minority shareholders) to bring certain claims in relation to a company’s affairs, and actual or proposed acts or omissions. It also permits certain actions to be brought in the name of, or for and on behalf of, a company, by shareholders (including minority shareholders).

The Existing Artemis Charter and Artemis’s bylaws contain certain provisions that may make it difficult for a third party to acquire Artemis, or for a change in the composition of Artemis’s board of directors or management to occur, including a staggered board of directors, the absence of cumulative voting rights, a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent and the establishment of advance notice requirements for director nominations.

A shareholder vote is not generally required, under U.K. company law, to approve the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a company’s assets.

Under U.K. company law, where PubCo proposes to acquire another company, approval of PubCo’s shareholders is not required. Under U.K. company law, where another company proposes to acquire PubCo, the requirement for the approval of the shareholders of PubCo depends on the method of acquisition.

A takeover (i.e., the acquisition of one company by another) of a U.K. public limited company may be carried out by a statutory scheme of arrangement (under Part 26 of the U.K. Companies Act 2006) implemented by the target company with its shareholders in conjunction with the bidder. Part 26 schemes of arrangement are also used in certain types of compromises with creditors, amalgamations and capital reorganizations. In the context of an acquisition or takeover, such arrangements require the approval of: (i) a majority in number of shareholders, representing 75 per cent. in value, of the share capital

held by, the shareholders or each applicable class of shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy at a special meeting convened by order of the court; and (ii) the English court. Typically, shares held by or on behalf of the acquirer would be treated as a separate class to shares held by or on behalf of the bidder. Once approved, sanctioned and effective, all shareholders and creditors of the relevant class are bound by the terms of a scheme, and a dissenting shareholder would not have appraisal rights. Specific requirements apply to schemes of reconstruction or amalgamation that are treated as mergers or divisions for the purposes of the U.K. Companies Act 2006. U.K. company law also provides that where: (i) a takeover offer is made for shares (other than by way of a scheme of arrangement), and (ii) following the offer, the offeror has acquired or contracted to acquire not less than 90 per cent. in value of the shares to which the takeover offer relates, and not less than 90 per cent. of the voting rights carried by the shares to which the offer relates, the offeror may require the other shareholders who did not accept the offer to transfer their shares on the same terms as the offer. A dissenting shareholder may object to the transfer on the basis that the acquisition would be unfair prejudice (typically on the grounds that the bidder is not entitled to acquire shares or that the terms of acquisition should be different to those offered) by applying to the court within six weeks of the date on which notice of the transfer was given. In the absence of fraud or oppression, the court is unlikely to order that the acquisition shall not take effect, but it may specify terms of the transfer that it finds appropriate. A minority

shareholder is also entitled to require the offeror to acquire his or her shares at the offer price if the bidder has obtained 90 per cent. of the shares and the voting rights in the company.

PubCo is not currently subject to the U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeover Code”) due to the location of its central management and control. Consequently, the shareholders of PubCo will not receive the benefit of the takeover offer protections provided by the Takeover Code (including mandatory offer requirements in certain circumstances) and the PubCo Board may be permitted to adopt certain anti-takeover measures provided that such measures are consistent with their general duties. As discussed in “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PubCo,” it is possible that the Takeover Code could apply to PubCo in the future. If PubCo becomes subject to the Takeover Code, the ability of the directors of PubCo to engage in defensive measures to seek to frustrate bids may be further restricted.

Amendments to Governing Documents

Under the DGCL, an amendment to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation generally requires the approval of the board of directors and the adoption of such amendment by a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock, voting together as a single class.

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that any amendment to the Existing Artemis Charter prior to the completion of its initial business combination or the date, no amendment to Article IX of the Existing Artemis Charter shall be effective unless approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of

Under U.K. company law, a special resolution of the shareholders is required to amend any provision of the Restated Articles that is not “entrenched” or is not a right attached to a particular class of shares.

If a provision is “entrenched” that provision may only be amended or repealed if the stated conditions are met, or procedures are complied with, that are more restrictive than those applicable in the case of a special resolution.

all then outstanding shares of Artemis Common Stock. Artemis is also required to provide the holders of Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares into cash in connection with any such amendment. The Existing Artemis Charter provides that Artemis’s board of directors will have the authority to make, alter and repeal Artemis’s bylaws, subject to the power of the stockholders to alter or repeal any bylaw, whether adopted by them or otherwise. Artemis’s bylaws further provide that the fact that such power has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power nor limit their power to adopt, amend, or repeal bylaws.

Authorized Capital

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which Artemis is authorized to issue is 401,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 380,000,000 shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock, (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

PubCo is not limited in the number of shares it may issue with a par value of $1.00 per share under the Restated Articles.

Dividends and Distributions

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that Artemis Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon: (i) Artemis’s completion of its initial business combination, (ii) an amendment to the Existing Artemis Charter to extend the date by which Artemis must complete an initial business combination, or (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if Artemis is unable to complete an initial business combination by the Liquidation Date, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will Artemis Public Stockholders have any right or

Subject to applicable law, PubCo may by ordinary resolution declare dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the members, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the PubCo Board. Furthermore and subject to applicable law, the PubCo Board may pay interim dividends if it appears to the PubCo Board that they are justified by the financial position of PubCo. The Restated Articles will provide that dividends may be paid in cash, assets, scrip or enhanced scrip dividends.

interest of any kind in the Trust Account.

Artemis’s bylaws additionally provide that, subject to the provisions of the Existing Artemis Charter, if any, dividends upon the capital stock of Artemis may be declared by its board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to applicable law. Dividends may be paid in cash, property, or shares of Artemis’s capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Existing Artemis Charter. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of Artemis available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of Artemis, or for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interests of Artemis and its directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Voting Rights

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that, except as required by law in any preferred stock designation, the holders of shares of Artemis Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Artemis Common Stock shall have one vote.

The Restated Articles provide that, subject to applicable law, each PubCo Ordinary Share shall have one vote.

Election of Directors

The Existing Artemis Charter divides Artemis’s board of directors into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class being elected to a staggered three-year term. Each director will hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s

The maximum number of directors in the Restated Articles is five.

Under the Restated Articles:

the Class I Director and one of the Class II Directors shall be appointed by Artemis.

One of the two Class II Directors shall be appointed by Artemis and the other Class II Director shall be appointed by Komisium.

Artemis’s bylaws provide that, at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. The DGCL provides that a corporation may grant stockholders cumulative voting rights for the election of directors in its certificate of incorporation. However, the Existing Artemis Charter does not authorize cumulative voting.

below 5 per cent. of PubCo’s share capital, Artemis’s right to appoint directors shall cease to apply.

If Komisium’s shareholding drops below 5 per cent. of PubCo’s share capital, Komisium’s right to appoint a Class II director shall cease to apply.

If Komisium’s shareholding drops below 50 per cent. but remains at least 40 per cent. of PubCo’s share capital, Komisium’s right to appoint one of the two Class III directors shall cease to apply.

If Komisium’s shareholding drops below 40 per cent. of PubCo’s share capital, Komisium’s right to appoint any of the Class III directors shall cease to apply.

To the extent that the specific appointment rights have ceased to apply, the shareholders of PubCo have the right in the Restated Articles to elect directors by ordinary resolution and the PubCo Board also has the right in the Restated Articles to appoint directors, provided that the appointment does not result in the maximum number of directors being exceeded.

The provisions of the Restated Articles relating to the appointment of directors may only be amended or repealed with the written consent of each of Artemis and Komisium.

Number of Directors

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that the number of directors will be fixed from time to time by the Artemis Board.

The number of directors (disregarding alternate directors) shall not be less than two and shall be not more than five. The initial number of directors shall be five.

To the extent that Artemis and/or Komisium retain their board appointment rights described above, such appointing party has the right to remove their appointees.

In addition, under U.K. company law, shareholders in PubCo may remove a director of PubCo without cause by ordinary resolution at a meeting, irrespective of any provisions in the Restated Articles, provided that notice of such proposal is given to PubCo by the shareholder making such proposal at least 28 days prior to the general meeting at which such proposal is to be put to shareholders. A director subject to any such procedure has a right to: (i) make certain written representations (which the company must circulate to shareholders) as to why he or she should not be removed, and (ii) be heard orally at the general meeting.

Whilst Artemis and/or Komisium retain their board appointment rights described above and shareholders propose to remove a director by ordinary resolution, the appointing shareholder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to cast such number of votes as is necessary to defeat the resolution in question.

Removal of Directors

Artemis’s bylaws provide that the entire board of directors or any individual director may be removed from office with or without cause by a majority vote of the holders of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided, that if Artemis’s board is classified, stockholders may effect such removal of directors not up for re-election that year only for cause. If the board of directors or any one or more directors is so removed, new directors may be elected at the same time for the unexpired portion of the full term of the director or directors so remove.

Retirement by rotation

Not applicable.

The automatic retirement provisions described below are subject to the appointment and removal rights of Artemis and

The Restated Articles provide for the automatic retirement by rotation of the directors.

The term of the Class I Director shall expire at the first annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of the Class I Director. The term of the Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of the Class II Directors. The term of the Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of the Class III Directors.

Beginning with the first annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of the Class I Director, each successor elected to replace the Class I Director whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of his or her respective successor in office, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Beginning with the second annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of each Class II Director, each of the successors elected to replace a Class II Director whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Beginning with the third annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of each Class III Director, each of the successors elected to replace these Class III Directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Filling of Board Vacancies

The Existing Artemis Charter and Artemis’s bylaws provide that vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or from any other cause may only be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and each director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen, and until his successor shall be elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity.

The Restated Articles will provide that any vacancy created at any time of any director appointed by a shareholder with a director appointment right may only be filled by a new director appointed by such shareholder with such director appointment right.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors

Under Delaware law, for so long as Artemis is solvent, Artemis’s directors owe the fiduciary duties of care and loyalty (including good faith) to Artemis and its stockholders.

In addition to fiduciary duties, Artemis’s directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill to Artemis. Such duties may also be owed to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.

The Restated Articles will provide that, to the extent that such specific appointment rights have ceased to apply, vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by the PubCo Board or by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders.

U.K. company law imposes certain specific obligations on the directors of PubCo. In addition to certain common law and equitable principles, there are statutory director duties, including seven codified duties as follows:

(1) to act in a way he or she considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of the company’s members as a whole;

(2) to act in accordance with the company’s constitution and exercise powers only for the purposes for which they are conferred;

(3) to exercise independent judgment;

283

Table of Contents

Provision

    

Rights of Artemis Shareholders

    

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

 

(4) to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence — this test is both subjective (i.e., was the director’s conduct that of a reasonably diligent person who has the knowledge and experience of the director) and objective (i.e., was the director’s conduct that of a reasonably diligence person having the knowledge and experience that a director holding that position should have);

(5) to avoid situations in which the director has or can have a direct or indirect interest that conflicts with, or may conflict with, the company’s interests;

(6) not to accept benefits from third parties that are conferred by reason of him or her being, or doing or not doing anything, as a director; and

(7) to declare an interest in a proposed transaction with the company.

Conflict of Interest Transactions

Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits any “business combination,” including mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and similar transactions, by a corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority owned subsidiaries with an “interested stockholder” who beneficially owns 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, within three years after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (i) the transaction that will cause the person or entity to become an interested stockholder under Section 203 is approved by Artemis’s board of directors; (ii) after the completion of the transaction in which the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder holds at least 85% of the voting stock of Artemis outstanding at the time the

Under U.K. company law, certain transactions between a director (or a person connected with a director) and a related company are prohibited unless approved by the shareholders, such as loans, quasi-loans, credit transactions and substantial property transactions.

In addition to the requirement for shareholder approval in respect of certain transactions, directors who have an interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement with PubCo are required to declare the nature and extent of their interest at a meeting of the PubCo Board or by notice. Pursuant to the Restated Articles (and subject to certain specified exceptions) a director is not permitted to vote on any matter in which he or she has a material interest or duty. This restriction may be suspended or relaxed, either generally or in respect of a particular matter by a

resolution of the PubCo Board or an ordinary resolution of PubCo.

Additionally, Artemis has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that covers, among other things, the handling of conflicts of interest. Under this policy, conflict of interest issues concerning Artemis’s directors will be addressed by Artemis’s Audit Committee.

Quorum and Actions

Artemis’s bylaws provide that, except as otherwise provided by statute or the Existing Artemis Charter, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of stockholders for the transaction of business. Unless otherwise required by law, the Existing Artemis Charter or Artemis’s bylaws, any question (other than the election of directors) brought before any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall be determined by the vote of majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect.

At least two shareholders (or where PubCo has only a single shareholder, such shareholder) entitled to vote at the general meeting shall be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at a general meeting.

Annual Shareholders’ Meetings

Artemis’s bylaws provide that annual meetings of stockholders

shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Artemis Board, and may be held solely by means of remote communication. At each annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of Artemis to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

shareholders’ meeting, which are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as annual general meetings. Meetings will take place at such date, time and place, as may be specified by the PubCo Board in the notice of meeting. U.K. company law requires that each annual general meeting must take place within the six-month period beginning with the day following the end of the company’s accounting year, but does not specify what business must be transacted at the annual general meeting, nor are there any restrictions on business (however, the annual general meeting is usually the meeting that is used for matters which must be dealt with each financial year, such as the re-election of directors, fixing the remuneration of auditors and consideration of the annual accounts, directors’ report and auditors’ report).

Special Additional Shareholders’ Meetings

Artemis’s bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Existing Artemis Charter, may only be called by a majority of its entire board of directors, or the president or the chairman of Artemis, and shall be called by the secretary of Artemis at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of special meeting.

The PubCo Board can call general meetings at such date, time and place, as they may specify in the notice of meeting.

Under U.K. company law, one or more shareholders holding voting shares representing at least five per cent. of the paid-up capital of PubCo can require (or requisition) PubCo to call and hold a general meeting.

The directors may propose other business at the meeting but the business that may be conducted at a general meeting is the business that is referred to in the relevant notice of such general meeting.

Shareholder Action Without Meeting

The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation of a corporation, any action required by Chapter 1 of Title 8 of the

U.K. company law does not permit a public limited company, such as PubCo, to pass a resolution without a shareholder meeting.

Stockholder Proposals

Artemis’s bylaws provide that no business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (i) specified in the notice of annual meeting (or any supplement or amendment thereto) given by or at the direction of Artemis’s board of directors, (ii) otherwise brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of Artemis’s board of directors or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder who (x) provides the information set forth in Artemis’s bylaws with respect to the stockholder proposal and (y) provides timely notice thereof in writing to Artemis’s secretary.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice with respect to such business must be received not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever occurs first.

Under U.K. company law, one or more shareholders holding voting shares representing at least five per cent. of the paid-up capital of PubCo can require (or requisition) PubCo to call and hold a general meeting.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Existing Artemis Charter and Artemis’s bylaws provide that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, Artemis shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by Artemis in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by Artemis as authorized pursuant to the Existing Artemis Charter.

Subject to certain exceptions, U.K. company law does not permit PubCo to indemnify a director against liability in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him or her in relation to PubCo. The exceptions allow PubCo to:

(1) purchase and maintain director and officer insurance against any liability attaching in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust owed to the company. Director and officer insurance generally covers costs incurred in defending allegations and compensatory damages that are awarded. However, director and officer insurance will generally not cover damages awarded in relation to criminal acts, intentional malfeasance or other forms of dishonesty, regulatory offenses or excluded matters such as environmental liabilities. In relation to these matters, director and officer insurance generally only covers defense costs, subject to the obligation of the director or officer to repay the costs if an allegation of criminality, dishonesty or intentional malfeasance is subsequently admitted or found to be true;

(2) provide a qualifying third party indemnity provision, which it refers to in this proxy statement/prospectus as a QTPIP. This permits PubCo to indemnify its directors (and directors of an “associated company” (i.e., a company that is a parent, subsidiary or sister company of PubCo)) in respect of proceedings brought by third parties (covering both legal costs and the amount of any adverse judgment), except for: (i) the legal costs of an unsuccessful defense of criminal proceedings, or civil proceedings

288

Table of Contents

Provision

    

Rights of Artemis Shareholders

    

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

 

brought by the company itself; (ii) fines imposed in criminal proceedings; and (iii) penalties imposed by regulatory bodies. PubCo can therefore indemnify directors against such third-party actions as class actions or actions following mergers and acquisitions or share issues;

(3) indemnify a director in respect of defense costs in relation to criminal and civil proceedings against him or her (even if the action is brought by the company itself). This is subject to the requirement for the director or officer to reimburse the company if the defense is unsuccessful. However, if the company has a QTPIP in place whereby the director or officer is indemnified in respect of legal costs in civil proceedings brought by third parties, then the director or officer will not be required to reimburse the company in such cases; and

(4) provide a qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision, which are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as a QPSIP. This permits PubCo to indemnify a director of a company (whether PubCo or an associated company) that is a trustee of an occupational pension scheme against liability incurred in connection with such company’s activities as a trustee of the scheme, except for: (i) the legal costs of an unsuccessful defense of criminal proceedings; (ii) fines imposed in criminal proceedings; and (iii) penalties imposed by regulatory bodies.

The Restated Articles include a provision that allows PubCo to exercise all powers to indemnify, subject to the provisions of U.K. company law, any person who is or was a director of PubCo or any subsidiary against any loss or liability in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty

289

Table of Contents

Provision

    

Rights of Artemis Shareholders

    

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

 

or breach of trust by him or her or otherwise, in relation to PubCo or any subsidiary. The Restated Articles also include a provision that allows the company to exercise all powers to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the company or any related company or for the trustee of any pension fund in which the employees of the company or any related company are or have been interested.

Further, the Restated Articles provides that all directors or other officers of PubCo (except a person engaged by the Company as auditor) be indemnified out of the assets of PubCo against any liability incurred by them for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of PubCo, provided that such provision shall be deemed not to provide for, or entitle any such person to, indemnification to the extent that it would cause the provision, or any element of it, to be treated as void under the Companies Act, 2006.

In addition to the provisions of the articles of association, it is common to set out the terms of the QTPIP and any QPSIP in the form of a deed of indemnity between the company and the relevant director or executive officer which indemnifies the director or executive officer against claims brought by third parties to the fullest extent permitted under U.K. company law. PubCo may enter into new deeds of indemnity with directors, executive officers and certain other officers and employees (including directors, officers and employees of subsidiaries and other affiliates) in due course. Shareholders have a right under U.K. company law to request and inspect copies of qualifying indemnity provisions.

Limitation on Liability of Directors

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that a director of Artemis shall not be personally liable to Artemis or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, unless a director violated his or her duty of loyalty to Artemis or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from his or her actions as a director.

As described above, U.K. company law does not permit PubCo to exempt any director from any liability arising from negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to PubCo but is permitted to purchase and maintain limited insurance for a director of the company.

Shareholders can ratify a director’s conduct amounting to negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to PubCo. In general, such ratification must be authorized by an ordinary resolution of shareholders.

Inspection of Books and Records; Information Requests

Under the DGCL, any stockholder may, upon proper demand, and for any proper purpose, inspect the Delaware corporation’s stock ledger, list of stockholders and other books and records during the usual hours for business

Under U.K. company law, the register and index of names of shareholders, register of directors, register of secretaries and other statutory registers of PubCo may be inspected at any time (1) for free, by its shareholders, and (2) for a fee by any other person. A company may apply to the English courts for an order not to permit inspection if the person seeking inspection does not have a proper purpose in inspecting the register. Documents may be copied for a fee.

The service contracts of PubCo’s directors can be inspected without charge and during business hours. In this and certain other contexts under applicable U.K. company law, a “service contract” includes any contract under which such director undertakes personally to provide services to PubCo or a subsidiary company, whether in that person’s capacity as a director, an executive officer or otherwise. Where service contracts are not in writing, a written memorandum setting out the terms must be provided by PubCo. The shareholders of PubCo may also

inspect, without charge and during business hours, the minutes of meetings of the shareholders for the previous ten years and obtain copies of the minutes for a fee.

In addition, the annual accounts of PubCo are required by U.K. company law to be made available to shareholders at a general meeting and a shareholder is entitled to a copy of such accounts. Under U.K. company law, the shareholders of PubCo do not have the right to inspect the corporate books of a subsidiary of PubCo.

The Existing Artemis Charter provides that, unless Artemis consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Artemis, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owned by any director, officer or other employee of Artemis to Artemis or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Artemis, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Existing Artemis Charter or Artemis’s bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against Artemis, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel.

The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall not be the sole and exclusive forum for any of the following actions: (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines

While U.K. company law only permits a shareholder to initiate a lawsuit on behalf of the company in limited circumstances, it does permit a shareholder to bring a claim against PubCo:

(1) when PubCo’s affairs are being or have been conducted in a manner unfairly prejudicial to the interests of all or some shareholders, including the shareholder making the claim; or

(2) when any act or omission of PubCo is or would be so prejudicial.

The Restated Articles will provide that the courts of England and Wales will be the exclusive forum for resolving all shareholder complaints other than shareholder complaints asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York will be the exclusive forum for resolving any shareholder complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and suits can be brought against PubCo or its directors accordingly.

that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act, as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware will have concurrent jurisdiction.

The Existing Artemis Charter also provides that the foregoing provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Classified or Staggered Boards

The Existing Artemis Charter divides Artemis’s board of directors into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class being elected to a staggered three-year term. Each director will hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

U.K. company law permits a company to provide for terms of different lengths for its directors. However, it also requires that, in the case of officers who are considered directors under U.K. company law, employment agreements with a guaranteed term of more than two years be subject to the prior approval of shareholders by way of ordinary resolution at a general meeting.

The Restated Articles will provide for the automatic retirement by rotation of the directors.

Beginning with the first annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of the Class I Director, each successor elected to replace the Class I Director whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of his or her

respective successor in office, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Beginning with the second annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of each Class II Director, each of the successors elected to replace a Class II Director whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Beginning with the third annual meeting of the Company following the appointment of each Class III Director, each of the successors elected to replace these Class III Directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT OF PUBCO

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, 100% of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares are held by Komisium. The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Artemis common stock as of                 , 2022, and expected beneficial ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following consummation of the Business Combination, assuming no Public Shares are redeemed, and alternatively, that the maximum number of Public Shares permitted to be redeemed in the 100% Redemptions Scenario are redeemed, by:

each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares;
each of PubCo’s current directors and named executive officers;
each person who will become a director or named executive officer of PubCo; and
all directors and officers of PubCo, as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The beneficial ownership of the Artemis Common Stock prior to the Business Combination is based on 25,156,250 shares of Artemis Common Stock outstanding as of August 31, 2022, of which 20,125,000 were shares of Artemis Class A Common Stock and 5,031,250 were shares of Artemis Class B Common Stock.

The expected beneficial ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination in the No Redemptions Scenario is based on 91,535,171 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which includes (i) 44,059,019 PubCo Ordinary Shares and $50 million of Closing Cash Consideration issuable to Komisium, (ii) all 22,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares potentially issuable to Komisium as Deferred Share Consideration and Earnout Consideration, (iii) 20,125,000 Public Shares held by Artemis Public Stockholders, and (iv) 5,031,250 PubCo Ordinary Shares held by the former holders of Sponsor Shares. The expected beneficial ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination in the 100% Redemption Scenario is based on 76,312,132 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which includes (i) 48,960,980 PubCo Ordinary Shares, no Closing Cash Consideration, and 12,254,902 PubCo Ordinary Shares as Additional Closing Share Consideration issuable to Komisium, (ii) 10,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares potentially issuable to Komisium as Earnout Consideration and no Deferred Share Consideration, (iii) no Public Shares held by Artemis Public Stockholders, and (iv) 5,031,250 PubCo Ordinary Shares held by the former holders of Sponsor Shares. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the numbers in the below table will be different.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

PubCo is incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom. Service of process upon us and upon certain of our directors and officers and the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus, who reside outside the U.S., may be difficult to obtain within the U.S. Furthermore, because a substantial amount of our assets and certain of our directors and officers are located outside the U.S., any judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the U.S.

PubCo has irrevocably appointed Incorporating Services, Ltd. as its agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. The address of the agent is 3500 South DuPont Highway Dover, Delaware 19901.

We have also been advised by Mishcon de Reya LLP, our U.K. legal advisor, that there is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in U.K. courts, of liabilities based on the U.S. federal securities laws or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States and as to the enforceability in U.K. courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or blue sky laws. Therefore, it may not be possible to enforce those judgments against us, certain of our directors and officers, the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 4, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity since inception relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), and search for a target business to complete a Business Combination with, which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 29, 2021. On October 4, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,125,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including the issuance 2,625,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $201,250,000, which is described in Note 3. As a result, 656,250 shares of Class B common stock(“Founder Shares”) were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Certain institutional anchor investors (the “Institutional Anchor Investors”) that are not affiliated with the Company, Artemis Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) or the Company’s officers, directors, and certain members of the Company’s management purchased an aggregate of 13,020,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,200,000. In addition to and as part of the Initial Public Offering, certain entities affiliated with the Sponsor, purchased an aggregate of 2,732,500 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $27,325,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 8,000,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000, which is described in Note 4. The Company also consummated the sale of 2,000,000 warrants (the “Anchor Investor Warrants”, together with the Sponsor Warrants, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Anchor Investor Warrant in a private placement to certain Institutional Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434  Founder Shares and the Company sold 1,618,434 Founder Shares to certain Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided in the Company’s final prospectus, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 1, 2021 (“Final Prospectus”).

Transaction costs amounted to $25,559,771 consisting of $3,825,000 of underwriting fees, $7,043,750 of deferred underwriting fees, $13,796,426 of offering costs related to the fair value of the Founder Shares issued to certain Institutional Anchor Investors and $894,595 of other offering costs. Offering costs related to the Founder Shares amounted to $13,796,426, of which $13,158,020 were charged to stockholders’ equity/(deficit) upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $638,407 were expensed to the statements of operations and included in transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities.

F-6

Table of Contents

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, an amount of $205,275,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve a Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company conducts redemptions of the Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules in conjunction with a stockholder meeting instead of pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. These Public Shares are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

If the Company is unable to conduct redemptions pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules as described above, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

F-7

Table of Contents

The Sponsor, officers, directors, anchor investors, and advisors have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment, (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares) into cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company is unable to conduct redemptions pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor and our officers, directors and advisors will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the price per Unit $10.20. On March 30, 2022, the Company executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, described on the next page, which has extended the mandatory liquidation date to 21 months or July 4, 2023.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its stockholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Table of Contents

The anchor investors will not be entitled to (i) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (iii) rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period), see Note 5.

Proposed Business Combination with Novibet

On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization, with Komisium Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Cyprus (“Komisium”), Logflex MT Holding Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Malta with company registration number C 77769 and having its registered office at 170, Pater House, Level 1 (Suite A191), Psaila Street, Birkirkara, BKR 9077, Malta and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Komisium (“Novibet”), Novibet PLC, a United Kingdom public limited company, and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Komisium (“PubCo”), and Novibet Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”) (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Business Combination”) were unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors on March 28, 2022.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement as described in more detail below, including the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company’s stockholders, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company surviving and continuing as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, and with the stockholders of the Company becoming stockholders of PubCo (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (a) each issued and outstanding share of Class B common stock of the Company par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) will be automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock of the Company par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and the Sponsor Support Agreement, (b) each issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock (including the Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, but not including any shares redeemed by the Company’s public stockholders and certain other excluded Company shares) will be automatically converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one PubCo Ordinary Share and (c) each outstanding whole warrant of the Company will be assumed by PubCo and will become exercisable for one PubCo Ordinary Share, on the same terms as the warrants of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement (as defined below).

The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned: (i) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Novibet; (ii) by either the Company or Novibet if the Proposed Business Combination is not consummated by the nine month anniversary of the date of the Merger Agreement, provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate if their action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or principally resulted in the failure of the transactions to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of the Merger Agreement; (iii) by either the Company or Novibet if a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, which order or other action is final and nonappealable; (iv) by either Novibet or the Company if the approval of the Proposed Business Combination by the Company’s stockholders has not been obtained; (v) by Novibet following a modification in the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors; (vi) by Novibet if the anticipated Gross Closing Proceeds of the Company are less than $50,000,000 and (vii) by Novibet or the Company if the other party has an uncured breach of the Merger Agreement that would result in a failure of the applicable closing conditions. No party will have any liability after the termination of the Merger Agreement, except for intentional fraud or a material and willful breach.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor, Novibet and the Company entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to vote to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and all other documents and transactions contemplated thereby, to vote against any business combination proposal other than the Proposed Business Combination or other proposals that would impede or frustrate the Proposed Business Combination, and to not

change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital stock of, the Company. Additionally, the Sponsor agreed not to redeem any shares of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock held by it in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, and to waive the anti-dilution and conversion price adjustments set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its Class B Common Stock.

The closing of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions and there is no assurance that the Proposed Business Combination will be completed.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $497,072 in cash and a working capital deficit of $4,046,898.

The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2022, were satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (defined below, see Note 5). As of June 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans. The Company’s management plans to continue its efforts to complete a Business Combination within 21 months of the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or July 4, 2023.

The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through July 4, 2023. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to raise additional capital.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Investments Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of the U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in interest

earned on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 20,125,000 Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Stock in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Proposed Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In accordance with ASC 480, conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 20,125,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s net deferred income tax assets are deemed to be de minimus.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Net Income/(Loss) per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of common stock, one for each of its Class A and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net Income/(Loss) per common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Net Income/(Loss) is allocated to the Company’s Class A and B common stock based on the relative shares outstanding for each class of common stock compared to the Company’s total shares outstanding. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO or the Private Placement Warrants in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the derivative warrant liabilities (see Note 10).

The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $25,559,771. Of this amount, $13,158,021 was charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, $10,897,232 was charged to temporary equity, and $1,154,518 was expensed due to allocating certain offering costs to the warrant liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company charged an additional $350,000 of deferred underwring fees to temporary equity.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Such warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of any warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liabilities related to the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 20,125,000 Units, including the 2,625,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Public Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor has purchased 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $8,000,000 to the Company. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Private Placement, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to certain Institutional Anchor Investors for at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $2,000,000 to the Company.

Each Private Placement Warrant is identical to the warrants offered in the Initial Public Offering, except there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 5, 2021, the Company issued 4,312,500 Founder Shares to the Sponsor in consideration for the Sponsor paying certain offering and formation costs on behalf of the Company with a value of $25,000. On March 16, 2021, the Company effected a stock split of the Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 5,031,250 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split. Simultaneously with the closing the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 Founder Shares and the Company sold 1,618,434 Founder Shares to certain Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination; and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Public Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations,

F-14

Table of Contents

reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Public Shares for cash, securities or other property.

In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 1,618,434 Founder Shares to the anchor investors at their original purchase price. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares attributable to the anchor investors to be $13,796,426, or $8.54 per share. The fair value of the Founder Shares were valued using a binomial/lattice model. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares over cost was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On January 5, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of January 5, 2023 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Note of $162,892 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on September 30, 2021, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Proposed Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 in accordance with the terms of the agreement, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, search for a target company and/or the completion of a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-15

Table of Contents

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed in connection with the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Public Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,043,750 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7. WARRANT LIABILITIES

The Company accounted for 20,062,500 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (10,062,500 Public Warrants and 10,000,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant is recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company has classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the

F-16

Table of Contents

extent an exemption is not available. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the reported closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”, as described in the warrant agreement. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the combination period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

If (x) the Company issues additional common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

NOTE 8. CLASS A COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION

The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 20,125,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 20,125,000 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was 5,031,250 Class B common Stock issued and outstanding.

Simultaneously with the Closing the Initial Public Offering on October 4, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 Founder Shares and the Company sold 1,618,434 Founder Shares to certain Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided in the Final Prospectus.

Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Founder Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as required by law or stock exchange rule; provided that only holders of the Founder Shares have the right to vote on the election of the Company’s directors prior to the initial Business Combination and holders of a majority of the Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 25% of the sum of (i) the total number of all shares of Class A common stock issued in the Offering (including any shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option) plus (ii) the sum of (i) all shares of Class A common stock issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued in connection with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination (including any Class A common stock issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement), excluding any Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or any member of management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and any warrants issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement, minus (ii) the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed in connection with a Business Combination, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares shall never be less than one-to-one.

The Company may issue additional common stock or preferred stock to complete its Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of its Business Combination.

Warrants

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the Balance Sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the statement of operations.

The Warrants were initially valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was the equivalent to that of the Public Warrants as they had substantially the same terms; however, they are not actively traded, as such are listed as a Level 2 in the hierarchy table above.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 14, 2022, Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) has delivered to the Company a letter (“Barclays Termination Letter”) intended to confirm the termination of the engagement letter, dated March 8, 2022 (the “Barclays Engagement Letter”), by and among Barclays, the Company and the Sponsor, effective as of ten days from the date of the Barclays Termination Letter, by Barclays pursuant to the terms of the Barclays Engagement Letter. All terms, conditions and obligations of the parties pursuant to the Barclays Engagement Letter which are stated to survive termination of the engagement shall survive and remain in full force and effect to the extent provided in the Barclays Engagement Letter; provided, however, that Barclays agreed to permanently waive (i) all fees and expense reimbursements, (ii) Barclays’ right of first refusal to provide certain investment banking and financial advisory services, (iii) all tail fees and (iv) other specified requirements pursuant to the Barclays Engagement Letter. Barclays further waived (i) its portion of any deferred underwriting discount (the “Deferred Discount”) payable pursuant to the underwriting agreement, dated September 29, 2021 (“Underwriting Agreement”), among Barclays, BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO”) and the Company, and (ii) its rights as a third-party beneficiary with respect to the Deferred Discount under the investment management trust agreement, dated as of September 29, 2021 (“Investment Management Trust Agreement”), between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Upon the termination of the Barclays Engagement Letter, Barclays will cease to act for the Company and the Sponsor in connection with the Proposed Business Combination and will not be responsible for any part of any registration statement that Company, the Sponsor, Logflex MT Holding Limited, and/or Novibet (or any of their respective affiliates) has filed or may file in in the future in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or any other potential business combination transaction, including any amendments thereto or documents incorporated therein

On July 19, 2022, BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO”) has delivered to the Company a letter, providing notice to the Company that BMO is irrevocably waiving any entitlement to its portion of the Deferred Discount that accrued from its participation in the Company’s Initial Public Offering, as reflected in the Underwriting Agreement. BMO further waived its rights as a third party beneficiary with respect to the Deferred Discount under the Investment Management Trust Agreement. BMO did not participate in any aspect of the Proposed Business Combination, has no other contractual relationship with the Company, the Sponsor, Novibet, Komisium or any of their respective affiliates and disclaims any responsibility for any part of any registration statement to be filed with the SEC, including any amendments thereto or documents incorporated therein, in connection with the Proposed Business Combination.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from January 4, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 4, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ARTEMIS STRATEGIC INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Artemis Strategic Investment Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 4, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period January 4, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 29, 2021. On October 4, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,125,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including the issuance 2,625,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $201,250,000, which is described in Note 3. As a result, 656,250 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Certain institutional anchor investors (the “Institutional Anchor Investors”) that are not affiliated with the Company, Artemis Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) or the Company’s officers, directors, and certain members of the Company’s management purchased an aggregate of 13,020,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,200,000. In addition and as part of the Initial Public Offering, certain entities affiliated with the Sponsor (as defined below), purchased an aggregate of 2,732,500 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $27,325,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 8,000,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Sponsor Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000, which is described in Note 4. The Company also consummated the sale of 2,000,000 warrants (the “Anchor Investor Warrants”, together with the Sponsor Warrants, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Anchor Investor Warrant in a private placement to certain Institutional Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 shares of Class B common stock (“Founder Shares”) and the Company sold 1,618,434 Founder Shares to certain Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided in the Company’s final prospectus, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 1, 2021 (“Final Prospectus”).

Transaction costs amounted to $25,209,771, consisting of $3,825,000 of underwriting fees, $6,693,750 of deferred underwriting fees, $13,796,426 of offering costs related to the fair value of the Founder Shares sold to certain Institutional Anchor Investors and $894,595 of other offering costs. Of the offering costs related to the Founder Shares of $13,796,426, $13,158,020 was charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $638,407 were expensed to the statement of operations and included in transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities.

F-25

Table of Contents

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, an amount of $205,275,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company conducts redemptions of the Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules in conjunction with a stockholder meeting instead of pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. These Public Shares are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

If the Company is unable to conduct redemptions pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules as described above, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers, directors, anchor investors, and advisors have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares) into cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company is unable to conduct

F-26

Table of Contents

redemptions pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor and our officers, directors and advisors will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the price per Unit $10.20.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its stockholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

The anchor investors will not be entitled to (i) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (iii) rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period), see Note 5.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period at the date of the financial statements.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

Investments Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of the U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 20,125,000 Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Stock in connection with the Company’s liquidation if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In accordance with ASC 480, conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2021, 20,125,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At December 31, 2021, deferred income tax assets are deemed to be de minimis.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Net Income per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of common stock, one for each of its Class A and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Net income is allocated to the Company’s Class A and B common stock based on the

F-29

Table of Contents

relative shares outstanding for each class of common stock compared to the Company’s total shares outstanding. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO or the Private Placement Warrants in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The Company’s basic and diluted income per share are calculated as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $25,209,771. Of this amount, $13,158,021 was charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, $10,897,232 was charged to temporary equity, and $1,154,518 was expensed due to allocating certain offering costs to the warrant liabilities.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company will account for warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Such warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of any warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liabilities related to the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 4, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on our financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on October 4, 2021, the Company sold 20,125,000 Units, including the 2,625,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A Common Stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor has purchased 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $8,000,000 to the Company. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Private Placement, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to certain Institutional Anchor Investors for $2,000,000.

Each Private Placement Warrant is identical to the warrants offered in the Initial Public Offering, except there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 5, 2021, the Company issued 4,312,500 Founder Shares to the Sponsor in consideration for the Sponsor paying certain offering and formation costs on behalf of the Company with a value of $25,000. On March 16, 2021, the Company effected a stock split of the Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 5,031,250 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split. Simultaneously with the closing the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 Founder Shares and the Company sold 1,618,434 Founder Shares to certain Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share.

F-31

Table of Contents

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination; and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Public Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, bonus share issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Public Shares for cash, securities or other property.

In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 1,618,434 Founder Shares to the anchor investors at their original purchase price. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares attributable to the anchor investors to be $13,796,426, or $8.54 per share. The fair value of the Founder Shares were valued using a binomial/lattice model. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares over cost was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On January 5, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of January 5, 2023 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $162,892 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and is no longer available.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on September 30, 2021, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period from January 4, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 in fees for these services.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-32

Table of Contents

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed in connection with the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriters’ Agreement

The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, excluding an affiliated entity with the Sponsor that purchased 1,000,000 Units, or $6,693,750 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7. WARRANT LIABILITIES

The Company accounted for 20,062,500 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (10,062,500 Public Warrants and 10,000,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant is recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company has classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in

F-33

Table of Contents

the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the reported closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”, as described in the warrant agreement. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the combination period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

If (x) the Company issues additional common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

NOTE 8. CLASS A COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION

The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 20,125,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the balance sheet.

The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred shares. At December 31, 2021, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 380,000,000 shares of Class A, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2021, there were no shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 20,125,000 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2021

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2021, there was 5,031,250 Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Simultaneously with the Closing the Initial Public Offering on October 4, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 1,618,434 shares of Class B common stock (“Founder Shares”) and the Company sold 1,618,434 Founder Shares to certain Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.006 per share. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided in the Final Prospectus.

Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as required by law or stock exchange rule; provided that only holders of the Class B common stock have the right to vote on the election of the Company’s directors prior to the initial Business Combination and holders of a majority of the Company’s Class B Common Stock may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 25% of the sum of (i) the total number of all shares of Class A common stock issued in the Offering (including any shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option) plus (ii) the sum of (i) all shares of Class A common stock issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued in connection with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination (including any Class A common stock issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement), excluding any Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or any member of management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and any warrants issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement, minus (ii) the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed in connection with a Business Combination, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares shall never be less than one-to-one.

The Company may issue additional common stock or preferred stock to complete its Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of its Business Combination.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any material U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the period from January 4, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the change in the valuation allowance was $272,783.

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate at December 31, 2021 is as follows:

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Warrant liability – Private Placement Warrants

4,913,000

Warrants

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the Balance Sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the statement of operations.

The Warrants were initially valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was the equivalent to that of the Public Warrants as they had substantially the same terms; however, they are not actively traded, as such are listed as a Level 2 in the hierarchy table below.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements:

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs.

On November 22, 2021, the Public Warrants surpassed the 52-day threshold waiting period to be publicly traded in accordance with the Prospectus filed September 29, 2021. Once publicly traded, the observable input qualifies the liability for treatment as a Level 1 liability. As such, as of December 31, 2021, the Company classified the Public Warrants as Level 1.

The estimated value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement and Level 2 measurement, respectively from the initial measurement through December 31, 2021 was $9,856,706 as presented in the changes in fair value of Level 3 warrant liabilities table below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Logflex MT Holding Limited

Opinion on the Combined Carve-out Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined carve-out financial statements of Logflex MT Holding Limited (the “Company”) which comprise of the combined carve-out statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, and the related combined carve-out statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined carve-out financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined carve-out financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these combined carve-out financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined carve-out financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined carve-out financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined carve-out financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Incorporation and principal activities

General information

Logflex MT Holding Ltd (the “Company”) was incorporated in Malta on October 27, 2016 as a private limited liability company under the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta. Its registered office is at 170, Pater House, Level 1 (Suite A191), Psaila Street, Birkirkara BKR 9077, Malta.

The Novibet Business (the “Business”) represents the principal activities of the Company, through the operations of its online casino and sportsbook betting related to Novigroup Ltd, Logflex MT Ltd, Iflex Ltd and Gamart Ltd entities. The Business provides these online gaming and betting services to its customers in various jurisdictions throughout Europe, in which the Company holds licenses.

Prior to its reorganization which started in December 2020, the Company was owned by Sendross Ltd (the “Sendross Group”) which carried out the operations of the Business. On February 12, 2021 Komisium Ltd became the parent company of Logflex MT Holding Ltd as part of the second phase of the reorganization process, Komisium Ltd acquired Novigroup Ltd from Sendross Ltd for 500,000 and on the same day, Logflex MT Holding Ltd acquired Novigroup Ltd from Komisium Ltd for 500,000 and all the rights of the internally generated software with a carrying value of 2,638,945 from Sendross Group for 1,200. On the same day Komisium Ltd acquired from Sendross Ltd Logflex Ltd for 200,000 which is not part of the combined financial statements. On April 14, 2021, Logflex MT Holding Ltd acquired 99% of Dicapl LP, a company incorporated in Greece for 1,980.

The Group consisting of Logflex MT Holding Ltd and its subsidiaries, Abraserve Ltd, Iflex Ltd, Logflex Mt Ltd, Afriflex Ltd, Novigroup Ltd and Gamart Ltd, Novibet USA Inc., Opixa Ltd, Orivus Ltd, Dicapl LP and the carve-out operations of Gaming Synergies Ltd (collectively, referred to as the “Group”) historically operated as part of Sendross Group and not as a separate stand-alone entity or group. In preparing these combined financial statements the activities specifically to Gaming Synergies Ltd were carved out based on the operations specific to Logflex MT Holding Ltd as part of the reorganization.

These financial statements are combined financial statements of Logflex MT Holding Ltd together with its subsidiaries, including the operations that have been carved out and consist of:

NOTES TO THE COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

2.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The combined carve-out financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with, and are in compliance with, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and its interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). References to IFRS hereafter should be construed as references to IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these combined carve-out financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these combined carve-out financial statements unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The combined carve-out financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a carve-out basis, to represent the financial position and performance of the Group as if the Group had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for the combined carve-out statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, financial position, changes in deficit and cash flows. However, the combined carve-out financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the Group had been a stand-alone entity during the period presented.

The combined carve-out financial statements, are presented in Euro and have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of combined financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying accounting policies, which have been applied consistently through the combined financial statements of the Group. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to continual re-evaluation. These estimates, assumptions and judgments were historically deemed to be reasonable and prudent. However, actual outcomes may differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements, are discussed in the critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments.

The combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared by aggregating the financial information from the entities as described in note 1, together with assets, liabilities, income and expenses that management has determined are specifically attributable to the Group including related party borrowings, and direct and indirect costs and expenses related to the operations of the Group.

The following summarizes the principles applied in preparing the combined carve-out financial statements:

Controlled companies that are part of the Group have been included in the combined carve-out financial statements, as further described in note 1.

All intercompany balances, investments in subsidiaries and share capital within the Group have been eliminated upon combination in the combined carve-out financial statements.

For the purposes of the preparation of these combined carve-out financial statements, corporate center costs which were allocated by entities outside the Group and therefore contained within the results of the Group have been included in cost of sales, marketing and administration expenses. The support provided to the Group included stewardship by senior management personnel and functional support in terms of typical corporate areas such as finance, legal and risk, in addition to, discrete support which was provided from centralized management activities such as HR, Sustainability and IT. The costs of €7,881,351 and €25,780,700 were included within cost of sales, marketing and administration expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The settlement of these costs was recorded within other reserves.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Any cash balances reflected on the combined carve-out financial statements are legally owned by the Group.

The directors of the Group are responsible for preparing the combined carve-out financial statements on a carve-out basis in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the IASB and for being satisfied that they present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and performance of the Group as if the Group had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for the combined statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, financial position, changes in deficit and cash flows.

In preparing these combined carve-out financial statements, the Directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state that the combined carve-out financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the IASB;
prepare the combined carve-out financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.

The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the combined carve-out financial statements.

Reclassification of prior year’s financial statements

As of 31 December 2021, the Group decided to change the presentation of the combined carve-out statement of profit or loss in a manner that allows for a further understanding of the underlying financial performance of the Group. As a result, gaming duties of €2,302,308 that have been previously recognized in Net Revenue are now presented as part of Cost of Sales. Cloud services expenses of €686,944 and consultancy fees of €670,649 that have been previously classified in Cost of Sales are now presented in Operating expenses. The overall effect in Net Profit is Nil.

Basis of combination

(i)Controlled companies:

The companies included in these combined carve-out financial statements are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of controlled companies. The cost of an acquisition is the consideration given in exchange for control of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired legal entities. Directly attributable transaction costs are expensed and included as exceptional items within sales, general and administration expenses. The acquired net assets are initially measured at fair value.

(ii)Transactions eliminated on combination:

Transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the controlled companies are eliminated on combination. The accounting policies of the controlled companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Basis of Going Concern

The combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group is required to evaluate whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the Groups ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date of issuance of the combined carve-out financial statements. An entitys ability to continue as a going concern is assumed absent significant information to the contrary. If there are indications that there could be significant doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, then a detailed analysis must be performed. This evaluation includes an assessment of whether the Company can continue to meet its obligations as they become due without substantial disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business, restructuring of debt, revisions of its operations or similar actions.

The Board of Directors have assessed the financial risks facing the business, including macroeconomic events as outlined in Notes 4 and 32, and compared this risk assessment to the net current asset position. The Directors have also reviewed the payables to related parties and obtained approval for the extension of their due dates, which resulted in 7,000,000 being classified in non-current liabilities. The Directors have also reviewed relationships with key creditors and are satisfied that the appropriate contracts and contingency plans are in place. Based on the analyses performed, the Board of Directors considers that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least a period of 12 months from the date of issuance of these combined carve-out financial statements.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e., the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

On April 14, 2021, Logflex MT Holding Ltd acquired 99% of Dicapl LP, a company incorporated in Greece for €1,980. At the date of the acquisition Dicapl LP had net liabilities of €51,925 and the Group recognised a Goodwill of €53,385 which was subsequently impaired.

Foreign currency

(i)Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Group’s combined carve-out financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The combined carve-out financial statements are presented in Euro (€) which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency, with the exception of Novigroup Ltd, the functional currency of which is in British pounds.

(ii)Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.

(iii)Financial statements of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations held by the Group are translated into Euro at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenue and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Euro at average exchange rates for the year.

Revenue

Recognition and measurement

Revenue consists of income from online activities. Revenue is recognized in the accounting periods in which the performance obligations associated with the transactions are satisfied after the deduction of certain promotional bonuses granted to customers and after adding the fees and charges applied to customer accounts and is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

The Group’s income from Gaming and Sports activities does not fall within the scope of IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Income from these online activities is disclosed as revenue although these are accounted for and meet the definition of a gain under IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments).

Revenue from online activities comprises:

(i)Gaming Revenue — IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments)

Gaming Revenue is represented by the difference between the amounts of bets placed by customers less amounts won, adjusted for the fair value of certain promotional bonuses granted to customers.

(ii)Sports Revenue — IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments)

Sports revenue comprises bets placed less pay-outs to customers, adjusted for the fair value of open betting positions and the fair value of bonuses and promotions.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Operating segments

IFRS 8 defines an operating segment as a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Gaming Revenue and Sports Revenue activities have been aggregated into a single operating segment taking into account the following factors:

The operating segments have similar economic characteristics
The method used to generate the revenue is the same
Discrete financial information is not available
Their separate operating results are not regularly monitored

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of gaming duties, gaming license fees, payment service providers’ commissions, chargebacks and commission payable to third parties, all of which are recognized on an accrual basis.

Net Finance Cost

Net finance cost includes interest income recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. Interest expense and other borrowing costs are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

Net finance cost also includes bank charges and foreign exchange transaction gains and losses.

Income taxes

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the statement of income, except when it relates to a business combination, or items recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income

Current income tax

Current income tax is the expected income tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to income tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method for temporary differences at the reporting date between the income tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax is measured using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused income tax losses and credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred tax relates to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Dividends

Dividend distributions to the Group’s shareholders are recognized in the Group’s financial statements in the year in which they are approved by the Group’s shareholders.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method so as to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life.

    

Estimated useful life

Furniture, fixtures

10 years

Office equipment

4 years

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss of the year in which it is incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure are included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortized. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Internally-generated intangible assets

Expenditure incurred on development activities of the gaming platform is capitalized only when the expenditure will lead to new or substantially improved products or processes, the products or processes are technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. All other development expenditure is expensed. Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalized only where it clearly increases the economic benefits to be derived from the asset to which it relates.

Internally-generated intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 years.

Licenses

Licenses comprise of online gaming licenses which are measured initially at purchase cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The Greek online gaming licenses are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives, of 7 years.

Computer software

Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique computer software products controlled by the Group and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are recognized as intangible assets. Subsequently computer software is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Expenditure which enhances or extends the performance of computer software programs beyond their original specifications is recognized as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the computer software. Costs associated with maintenance of computer software programs are recognized as an expense when incurred.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Computer software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives, of 4 years. Amortization commences when the computer software is available for use.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

the contract involves the use of an identified asset this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
the Group has the right to operate the asset; or
the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The lease liabilities are presented separately in the combined statements of financial position.

The Group has elected not to recognize the right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Other assets that are subject to depreciation or amortization and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Any charge or reversal of previous impairments is taken to the combined carve-out statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.

Investments

Financial assets — Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) or through profit or loss), and
those to be measured at amortized cost.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

The classification and subsequent measurement of debt financial assets depends on: (i) the Group’s business model for managing the related assets portfolio and (ii) the cash flow characteristics of the asset. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a debt financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the classification will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All other financial assets are classified as measured at FVTPL.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVOCI.

Financial assets — Recognition and derecognition

All purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention (“regular way” purchases and sales) are recorded at trade date, which is the date when the Group commits to deliver a financial instrument. All other purchases and sales are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets — Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Fair value at initial recognition is best evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or loss on initial recognition is only recorded if there is a difference between fair value and transaction price which can be evidenced by other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or by a valuation technique whose inputs include only data from observable markets.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s Management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment, any related balance within the FVOCI reserve is reclassified to retained earnings. The Group’s policy is to designate equity investments as FVOCI when those investments are held for strategic purposes other than solely to generate investment returns. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognized in “other gains/(losses)” in the combined carve-out statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTPL are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Financial assets — impairment — credit loss allowance for Expected Credit loss

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the ECL (expected credit loss) for debt instruments (including loans) measured at amortized cost and FVOCI and exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. The Group measures ECL and recognizes credit loss allowance at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects: (i) an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, (ii) time value of money and (iii) all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the end of each reporting period about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions.

The carrying amount of the financial assets is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the combined statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income within “net impairment loss on financial and contract assets. Subsequent recoveries of amounts for which loss allowance was previously recognized are credited against the same line item.

Debt instruments carried at amortized cost are presented in the combined carve-out statements of financial position net of the allowance for ECL.

For debt instruments at FVOCI, an allowance for ECL is recognized in profit or loss and it affects fair value gains or losses recognized in OCI rather than the carrying amount of those instruments.

The impairment methodology applied by the Group for calculating expected credit losses depends on the type of financial asset assessed for impairment. Specifically:

For trade receivables and contract assets, including trade receivables and contract assets with a significant financing component, and lease receivables the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the financial assets.

For all other financial instruments that are subject to impairment under IFRS 9, the Group applies general approach — three stage model for impairment. The Group applies a three-stage model for impairment, based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in Stage 1.

Any impairment charge or reversal of previous impairments is taken to the combined carve-out statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.

Additionally, the Group has decided to use the low credit risk assessment exemption for investment grade financial assets. Refer to note 4, Credit risk section for a description of how the Group determines low credit risk financial assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash in hand and balances with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. They include short-term deposits originally purchased with maturities of three months or less. Cash and Cash Equivalent balances are carried at amortized cost net of the allowances for ECL.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial liabilities — measurement categories

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled, or expires.

Trade payables

Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Prepayments

Prepayments are carried at cost less provision for impairment. A prepayment is classified as non-current when the goods or services relating to the prepayment are expected to be obtained after one year, or when the prepayment relates to an asset which will itself be classified as non-current upon initial recognition. Prepayments to acquire assets are transferred to the carrying amount of the asset once the Group has obtained control of the asset and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group. Other prepayments are written off to profit or loss when the goods or services relating to the prepayments are received. If there is an indication that the assets, goods or services relating to a prepayment will not be received, the carrying value of the prepayment is written down accordingly and a corresponding impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Advances from shareholders

Advances from shareholders constitutes contributions made by the Group’s shareholders other than for the issue of shares by the Group in their capacity as equity owners of the Group for which the Group has no contractual obligation to repay them. Such contributions are recognized directly in equity as they constitute transactions with equity owners in their capacity as equity owners of the Group.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

3.Recent accounting pronouncements

For the periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Group adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2019. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Group with the exception of the following:

(i)   IFRS 16 “Leases”

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. A contract is (or contains) a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

3.Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost and depreciated by the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises initial measurement of the lease liabilities, any lease payments made before or at the commencement date and initial direct costs.

Right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

(ii)   Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2

In August 2020, the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16). These amendments address issues that might affect financial reporting after the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including its replacement with alternative benchmark rates. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of these amendments did not have an impact on the Group’s financial statements.

(iii)   Amendments to IFRS 16 — COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions

The amendments introduce an optional practical expedient that simplifies how a lessee accounts for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of COVID-19. A lessee that applies the practical expedient is not required to assess whether eligible rent concessions are lease modifications, and accounts for them in accordance with other applicable guidance. The resulting accounting will depend on the details of the rent concession.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020 with earlier application permitted. The adoption of these amendments did not have an impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Financial risk management

Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk, currency risk, regulatory risk, data protection risk and reputation risk arising its general business operations. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below:

4.1Liquidity risk

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk in relation to meeting future obligations associated with its financial liabilities, which are predominantly comprised of trade and other payables and payables to related parties (Notes 26, 29.6 and 29.7). Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash to ensure the availability of adequate funding to meet the Group’s obligations when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to its reputation.

Management monitors liquidity risk by continual observation of cash inflows and outflows. To improve the net cash inflows and maintain cash balances at a specified level, management ensures that no additional financing facilities are expected to be required over the coming year. In this respect, management does not consider liquidity risk to the Group as significant when taking into account the liquidity management process referred to above.

4.2Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s measurement currency. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the Sterling Pound and the Euro. The Group’s Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

The following significant exchange rates have been applied during the year:

4.3Regulatory risk

The regulatory framework of online gaming is dynamic and complex and changes om the regulatory regime can have a material adverse effect on business volume and financial performance in that jurisdiction. The Group’s Management obtains frequent and routine updates regarding the changes in the law in the jurisdictions of interest.

4.4Data Protection risk

The Group processes a large quantity of personal customer data, including sensitive data such as name, address, age, bank details and gaming/betting history. Such data could be wrongfully accessed or used by employees, customers, suppliers or third parties, or lost, disclosed or improperly processed in breach of data protection regulations. In particular, the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) entered into force in May 2018, having a significant effect on the Group’s privacy and data protection practices, as it introduced various changes to how personal information should be collected, maintained, processed and secured. Non-compliance with the GDPR may result in fines and the Group could also be subject to private litigation and loss of customer goodwill and confidence. The Group has procedures and policies in place with the object of minimizing such risk and losses.

4.5Reputation risk

The risk of loss of reputation arising from the negative publicity relating to the Group’s operations (whether true or false) may result in a reduction of its clientele, reduction in revenue and legal cases against the Group. The Group applies procedures to minimize this risk.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on Management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

Internally generated intangible assets

Costs relating to internally generated intangible assets, are capitalized if the criteria for recognition as assets are met. The initial capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility criteria are met. In making this judgement, management considers the progress made in each development project and its latest forecasts for each project. Other expenditure is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Impairment of intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recorded at acquisition cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful economic life. Intangible assets that are acquired through a business combination are initially recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least once per year and definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The impairment test is performed using the discounted cash flows expected to be generated through the use of the intangible assets, using a discount rate that reflects the current market estimations and the risks associated with the asset. When it is impractical to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit in which the asset belongs to.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, Management of the Group have elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes and realizing their performance potential in the long run.

The investment held in Game Play Network Inc. was sold to the ultimate parent company of the Group Komisium Ltd for €276,330 ($300,000) which represents the initial cost of the investment because it was outside the scope of the Group's economic activities.

The acquisition of subsidiary represents the cost of investment in Novigroup Ltd, which was legally acquired during the year 2021 from Komisium Ltd for €500,000. As Novigroup Ltd has been part of the Group since its incorporation this is an acquisition under common control. For the purposes of preparing these carve-out combined Financial Statements this combination is outside the scope of IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and the predecessor value method was used. Therefore, the asset and liabilities were recorded at previous carrying value and no Goodwill was recognized. The difference between the acquirer’s cost of investment and the acquiree’s equity is presented in other reserves.

The Parent Investment Carve Out Adjustment of €7,881,351 represents the recognition of the direct costs, marketing expenses, and administrative expenses of Gaming Synergies Ltd for the year 2021, which were necessary for the operation of the Novibet Business as explained in the basis of preparation Note 1.

The translation reserve comprises of exchange differences relating to the translation of the net assets of the Group’s foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Group’s presentation currency (i.e. Euro) are recognized directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. Exchange differences previously accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation.

The non-current payables to related parties comprise balances for which the due date has been extended in order to support the liquidity position of the Group. The payables come due on August 26, 2023, subject to certain conditions in relation to the completion of the Business Combination Agreement with Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation.

Contingent liabilities

The Group operates in numerous jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Group files tax returns, provides for and pays all taxes and duties it believes are due based on local tax laws, transfer pricing agreements and tax advice obtained. The Group is also periodically subject to audits and assessments by local taxing authorities however no audit has been carried out so far and all fiscal years starting from 2009 onwards are still open. Provisions for uncertain items are made using judgement of the most likely tax expected to be paid and the basis thereon, based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant information. The Group considers that any exposure for additional taxes, if any, that may arise from the final settlement of such assessments is unlikely to result in any further liability.

There is a an open complaint filed by an individual having a player account in novibet.gr against the legal representative of a related entity under the name “Logflex Limited” (being outside of the group of companies) for the supposed embezzlement of €2,290,470 in March 2021, when “Logflex Limited”, within its rights and under the Terms and Conditions agreed by the Customer, voided all bets, and closed the player account due to suspicious betting behaviour and his representation and contact details not being in order. The case is currently under a preliminary investigation. There are currently no civil claims, no material losses are to be expected during the course of the processes other than the fees and expenses which are necessary for their management before the justice authorities. Management has concluded that the Group’s exposure, if any would be limited to the amount of the player’s deposits of €580K which are already recorded in liabilities to players.

The Group is subject to various ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Group. The Group is not a party to any legal proceedings that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the combined carve-out financial statements of the Group.

Events after the reporting period

On February 15, 2022, the United Kingdom Gaming Commission issued a letter advising Novigroup Ltd that it was considering whether to open a regulatory investigation and setting out the list of its concerns from its December 2021 compliance assessment, which investigation could have resulted in a possible revocation of the license, suspension of the license, imposition of a penalty, imposition of additional license conditions or a warning (or a combination of these outcomes). On February 21, 2022, Novigroup Ltd voluntarily surrendered its license to operate in the U.K. and exited the U.K. market in order to focus on markets with greater growth potential and less uncertainty in relation to the trajectory of gambling regulatory reform. This action ceased the inquiry and potential investigation.

At the date of the surrender Novigroup Ltd had:

(i)Ante-post liabilities: 676 GB (Great Britain) unique customers having ante-post open bets and a total of 2,119 of open bets. As of August 25, 2022 the open bets were reduced to 81 bets; and
(ii)Active Customer and Customer Funds details: 193,583 active GB customers having logged-in in the past 12 months an aggregate of GBP 1,691,819 was held on their behalf in Novigroup Ltd`s segregated client funds accounts. As of August 25, 2022 this amount was reduced to GBP 707,260.

On March 30, 2022, Logflex MT Holdings Ltd entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Artemis”), Komisium Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Cyprus and the holder of all of the issued ordinary shares of Novibet and all of the issued and outstanding PubCo ordinary shares (“Komisium”), Novibet PLC, a United Kingdom public limited company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Komisium (“PubCo”), and Novibet Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”). Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Artemis and Logflex MT Holdings Ltd will become wholly owned subsidiaries of PubCo. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022.

Events after the reporting period (continued)

On January 20, 2022, Novibet USA, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an Online Market Access Agreement (the “Caesars Market Access Agreement”) with Chester Downs and Marina, LLC (“Caesars”). Under the Caesars Market Access Agreement, Novibet USA and Caesars agreed that Novibet USA may operate, control and administer a branded online gambling service (excluding an online sportsbook or online poker) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for ten years under Caesars’ operating licenses.

On April 20, 2022, Logflex MT Limited (Malta), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an Agreement for the Provision of Online Gaming Management and Consulting Services (the “Big Bola Agreement”) with Comercial de Juegos de la Frontera, S.A. de C.V. (“Big Bola”). Under the Big Bola Agreement, Logflex MT and Big Bola agreed that Logflex MT shall host, manage, promote and support the on-line betting and gaming business for the regulated Mexican interactive market for ten years (automatically renewable for additional 5-year terms unless either party manifests its will not to renew to the other party according the terms of the Big Bola Agreement) under Big Bola’s federal gaming permit. Such online gambling services will be offered under the “Novibet” brand.

On July 11, 2022, Novibet USA, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Online Market Access Agreement (the “Caesars Market Access Agreement”) with Ceasars Interactive Entertainment New Jersey, LLC (“Caesars”). Under the Caesars Market Access Agreement, Novibet USA and Caesars agreed that Novibet USA may operate, control and administer a branded online gambling service (including online sportsbook and iGaming) in the State of New Jersey for ten years under Caesars’ operating licenses which shall be extended for an additional subsequent five-year period if the parties mutually agree in writing prior to the end of the above 10-year term.

The Company’s annual fixed cost for the first 5 years specific to the new market access agreements is €3,550,000 and €3,950,000 for the following 5 years. The Company shall also pay initial fees of €4,750,000, as well as a variable revenue share component.

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022 with the commencement of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. As at the date of authorizing these financial statements for issue, the conflict continues to evolve as military activity proceeds. In addition to the impact of the events on entities that have operations in Russia, Ukraine, or Belarus or that conduct business with their counterparties, the conflict is increasingly affecting economies and financial markets globally and exacerbating ongoing economic challenges.

Events after the reporting period (continued)

The European Union as well as United States of America, Switzerland, United Kingdom and other countries imposed a series of restrictive measures (sanctions) against the Russian and Belarussian government, various companies, and certain individuals. The sanctions imposed include an asset freeze and a prohibition from making funds available to the sanctioned individuals and entities. In addition, travel bans applicable to the sanctioned individuals prevents them from entering or transiting through the relevant territories.

Emerging uncertainty regarding global supply of commodities due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine conflict may also disrupt certain global trade flows and place significant upwards pressure on commodity prices and input costs as seen through August 2022. Challenges for companies may include availability of funding to ensure access to raw materials, ability to finance margin payments and heightened risk of contractual non-performance.

The financial effect of the current crisis on the global economy and overall business activities cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty at this stage, due to the pace at which the conflict prevails and the high level of uncertainties arising from the inability to reliably predict the outcome.

The Group has limited direct exposure to Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus and as such does not expect significant impact from direct exposures to these countries.

Furthermore, the increasing energy prices, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, unease in stock market trading, rises in interest rates, supply chain disruptions and intensified inflationary pressures may indirectly impact the operations of the Group. The indirect implications will depend on the extent and duration of the crisis and remain uncertain.

Management has considered the unique circumstances and the risk exposures of the Group and has concluded that there is no significant impact in the Group’s profitability position. The event is not expected to have an immediate material impact on the business operations.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the combined carve-out financial statements are issued, to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or identify matters that require additional disclosures. The Company evaluated subsequent events through August 25, 2022, the date on which the combined carve-out financial statements were available to be issued. The combined carve-out financial statements reflect those material items that arose after the balance sheet date, but prior to this date that would be considered recognized subsequent events.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Logflex MT Holding Limited

Opinion on the Combined Carve-out Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined carve-out financial statements of Logflex MT Holding Limited (the “Company”) which comprise of the combined carve-out statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related combined carve-out statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined carve-out financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined carve-out financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These combined carve-out financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s combined carve-out financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these combined carve-out financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined carve-out financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined carve-out financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined carve-out financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined carve-out financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the matter set out in Note 2, “Basis of preparation” to the combined carve-out financial statements with respect to the principles and conventions applied to the preparation and presentation of the combined carve-out financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

1.    Incorporation and principal activities

General information

Logflex MT Holding Ltd (the “Company”) was incorporated in Malta on October 27, 2016 as a private limited liability company under the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta. Its registered office is at 170, Pater House, Level 1 (Suite A191), Psaila Street, Birkirkara BKR 9077, Malta.

The Novibet Business (the “Business”) represents the principal activities of the Company, through the operations of its online casino and sportsbook betting related to Novigroup Ltd and Logflex MT Ltd entities. The Business provides these online gaming and betting services to its customers in various jurisdictions throughout Europe, in which the Company holds licenses.

Prior to its reorganization which started in December 2020, the Company was owned by Sendross Ltd (the “Sendross Group”) which carried out the operations of the Business. On February 12, 2021 Komisium Ltd became the parent company of Logflex MT Holding Ltd as part of the second phase of the reorganisation process.

The Group consisting of Logflex MT Holding Ltd and its wholy owned subsidiaries, Abraserve Ltd, Iflex Ltd, Logflex Mt Ltd, Afriflex Ltd, Novigroup Ltd and Gamart Ltd and the carve-out operations of Gaming Synergies Ltd (collectively, referred to as the “Group”) historically operated as part of Sendross Group and not as a separate stand alone entity or group. In preparing these combined financial statements the activities specifically to Gaming Synergies Ltd were carved out based on the operations specific to Logflex MT Holding Ltd as part of the reorganisation.

These financial statements are combined financial statements of Logflex MT Holding Ltd together with its subsidiaries, including the operations that have been carved out and consist of:

NOTES TO THE COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies

The Group has prepared these combined carve-out financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and related interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Group’s deemed transition date to IFRS and its interpretations as issued by the IASB is January 1, 2019. The principles and requirements for first time adoption of IFRS are set out in IFRS 1, ‘First-time adoption of IFRS’ (“IFRS 1”). The combined carve-out financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with, and are in compliance with, IFRS and its interpretations as issued by the IASB. References to IFRS hereafter should be construed as references to IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Basis of preparation

The combined carve-out financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a carve-out basis, to represent the financial position and performance of the Group as if the Group had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 for the combined carve-out statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows. However, the combined carve-out financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the Group had been a stand alone entity during the period presented.

After making inquiries and considering the Group’s future projections, it has been determined that the Group has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future, for this reason the combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The combined carve-out financial statements, are presented in Euro and have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of combined financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying accounting policies, which have been applied consistently through the combined financial statements of the Group. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to continual re-evaluation. These estimates, assumptions and judgments were historically deemed to be reasonable and prudent. However, actual outcomes may differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the combined financial statements, are discussed in the critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments.

The combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared by aggregating the financial information from the entities as described in note 1, together with assets, liabilities, income and expenses that management has determined are specifically attributable to the Group including related party borrowings, and direct and indirect costs and expenses related to the operations of the Group.

The following summarizes the principles applied in preparing the combined carve-out financial statements:

Controlled companies that are part of the Group have been included in the combined carve-out financial statements, as further described in note 1.

All intercompany balances, investments in subsidiaries and share capital within the Group have been eliminated upon combination in the combined carve-out financial statements.

For the purposes of the preparation of these combined carve-out financial statements, corporate centre costs which were allocated by entities outside the Group and therefore contained within the results of the Group have been included in cost of sales, marketing and administration expenses. The support provided to the Group included stewardship by senior management personnel and functional support in terms of typical corporate areas such as finance, legal and risk, in addition to, discrete support which was provided from centralized management activities such as HR, Sustainability and IT. The costs of €11,273,871 and €12,339,555 were included within cost of sales, marketing and administration expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The settlement of these costs was recorded within other reserves.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Any cash balances reflected on the combined carve-out financial statements are legally owned by the Group.

The directors of the Group are responsible for preparing the combined carve-out financial statements on a carve-out basis in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the IASB and for being satisfied that they present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and performance of the Group as if the Group had existed on a stand-alone basis for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 for the combined statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows.

In preparing these combined carve-out financial statements, the Directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state that the combined carve-out financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the IASB;
prepare the combined carve-out financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.

The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the combined carve-out financial statements.

3.    Recent accounting pronouncements

For the periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2019. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Group with the exception of the following:

(i) IFRS 16 “Leases”

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. A contract is (or contains) a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost and depreciated by the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises initial measurement of the lease liabilities, any lease payments made before or at the commencement date and initial direct costs.

Right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

4.    Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these combined carve-out financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these combined carve-out financial statements unless otherwise stated.

Basis of combination

(i)Controlled companies:

The companies included in these combined carve-out financial statements are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of controlled companies. The cost of an acquisition is the consideration given in exchange for control of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired legal entities. Directly attributable transaction costs are expensed and included as exceptional items within sales, general and administration expenses. The acquired net assets are initially measured at fair value.

(ii)Transactions eliminated on combination:

Transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the controlled companies are eliminated on combination. The accounting policies of the controlled companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Foreign currency

(i)Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Group’s combined carve-out financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The combined carve-out financial statements are presented in Euro (€) which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency, with the exception of Novigroup Ltd, the functional currency of which is in British pounds.

(ii)Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

(iii)Financial statements of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations held by the Group are translated into Euro at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenue and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Euro at average exchange rates for the year.

4.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue

Recognition and measurement

Revenue consists of income from online activities. Revenue is recognised in the accounting periods in which the performance obligations associated with the transactions are satisfied after the deduction of certain promotional bonuses granted to customers and after adding the fees and charges applied to customer accounts, and is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

The Group’s income from Gaming and Sports activities does not fall within the scope of IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Income from these online activities is disclosed as revenue although these are accounted for and meet the definition of a gain under IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments).

Revenue from online activities comprises:

(i)Gaming Revenue — IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments)

Gaming Revenue is represented by the difference between the amounts of bets placed by customers less amounts won, adjusted for the fair value of certain promotional bonuses granted to customers.

(ii)Sports Revenue — IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments)

Sports revenue comprises bets placed less pay-outs to customers, adjusted for the fair value of open betting positions and the fair value of bonuses and promotions.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of gaming duties, payment service providers’ commissions, chargebacks and commission payable to third parties, all of which are recognised on an accrual basis.

Net Finance Cost

Net finance cost includes interest income recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective method. Interest expense and other borrowing costs are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

Net finance cost also includes bank charges and foreign exchange transaction gains and losses.

Dividends

Dividend distributions to the Group’s shareholders are recognised in the Group’s financial statements in the year in which they are approved by the Group’s shareholders.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method so as to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life.

    

Estimated usefull life

Furniture, fixtures

10 years

Office equipment

4 years

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss of the year in which it is incurred. The cost of major renovations and other subsequent expenditure are included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

4.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Internally-generated intangible assets

Expenditure incurred on development activities of the gaming platform is capitalised only when the expenditure will lead to new or substantially improved products or processes, the products or processes are technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. All other development expenditure is expensed. Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalised only where it clearly increases the economic benefits to be derived from the asset to which it relates.

Internally-generated intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 years.

Trademarks

Trademarks comprise of registered symbols and designs which are measured initially at purchase cost and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

No amortisation has been accounted for in respect of the gaming license due to its indefinite useful life.

Computer software

Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique computer software products controlled by the Group and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are recognised as intangible assets. Subsequently computer software is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Expenditure which enhances or extends the performance of computer software programs beyond their original specifications is recognised as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the computer software. Costs associated with maintenance of computer software programs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

Computer software costs are amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives, of 4 years. Amortisation commences when the computer software is available for use.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

the contract involves the use of an identified asset — this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
the Group has the right to operate the asset; or
the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

4.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Group as lessee

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The lease liabilities are presented separately in the combined statements of financial position.

The Group has elected not to recognise the right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

4.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Other assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Any charge or reversal of previous impairments is taken to the combined carve-out statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.

Investments

Financial assets — Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and
those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification and subsequent measurement of debt financial assets depends on: (i) the Group’s business model for managing the related assets portfolio and (ii) the cash flow characteristics of the asset. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a debt financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the classification will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All other financial assets are classified as measured at FVTPL.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVOCI.

Financial assets — Recognition and derecognition

All purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery within the time frame established by regulation or market convention (“regular way” purchases and sales) are recorded at trade date, which is the date when the Group commits to deliver a financial instrument. All other purchases and sales are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

4.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial assets — Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Fair value at initial recognition is best evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or loss on initial recognition is only recorded if there is a difference between fair value and transaction price which can be evidenced by other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or by a valuation technique whose inputs include only data from observable markets.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s Management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment, any related balance within the FVOCI reserve is reclassified to retained earnings. The Group’s policy is to designate equity investments as FVOCI when those investments are held for strategic purposes other than solely to generate investment returns. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognised in “other gains/(losses)” in the combined carve-out statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTPL are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Financial assets — impairment — credit loss allowance for Expected Credit loss

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the ECL (expected credit loss) for debt instruments (including loans) measured at amortised cost and FVOCI and exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. The Group measures ECL and recognises credit loss allowance at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects: (i) an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, (ii) time value of money and (iii) all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the end of each reporting period about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions.

The carrying amount of the financial assets is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the combined statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income within “net impairment loss on financial and contract assets. Subsequent recoveries of amounts for which loss allowance was previously recognised are credited against the same line item.

Debt instruments carried at amortised cost are presented in the combined carve-out statements of financial position net of the allowance for ECL.

For debt instruments at FVOCI, an allowance for ECL is recognised in profit or loss and it affects fair value gains or losses recognised in OCI rather than the carrying amount of those instruments.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

4.    Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

The impairment methodology applied by the Group for calculating expected credit losses depends on the type of financial asset assessed for impairment. Specifically:

For trade receivables and contract assets, including trade receivables and contract assets with a significant financing component, and lease receivables the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the financial assets.

For all other financial instruments that are subject to impairment under IFRS 9, the Group applies general approach — three stage model for impairment. The Group applies a three stage model for impairment, based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in Stage 1.

Any impairment charge or reversal of previous impairments is taken to the combined carve-out statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.

Additionally, the Group has decided to use the low credit risk assessment exemption for investment grade financial assets. Refer to note 5, Credit risk section for a description of how the Group determines low credit risk financial assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash in hand and balances with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. They include short-term deposits originally purchased with maturities of three months or less. Cash and Cash Equivalent balances are carried at amortised cost net of the allowances for ECL.

Financial liabilities — measurement categories

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, canceled, or expires.

Trade payables

Trade payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Prepayments

Prepayments are carried at cost less provision for impairment. A prepayment is classified as non-current when the goods or services relating to the prepayment are expected to be obtained after one year, or when the prepayment relates to an asset which will itself be classified as non-current upon initial recognition. Prepayments to acquire assets are transferred to the carrying amount of the asset once the Group has obtained control of the asset and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group. Other prepayments are written off to profit or loss when the goods or services relating to the prepayments are received. If there is an indication that the assets, goods or services relating to a prepayment will not be received, the carrying value of the prepayment is written down accordingly and a corresponding impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Advances from shareholders

Advances from shareholders constitutes contributions made by the Group’s shareholders other than for the issue of shares by the Group in their capacity as equity owners of the Group for which the Group has no contractual obligation to repay them. Such contributions are recognised directly in equity as they constitute transactions with equity owners in their capacity as equity owners of the Group.

5.    Financial risk management

Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk, currency risk, regulatory risk, data protection risk and reputation risk arising its general business operations. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below:

5.1Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The Group has procedures with the object of minimising such losses such as maintaining sufficient cash and other highly liquid current assets and by having available an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

5.2Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s measurement currency. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the Sterling Pound and the Euro. The Group’s Management monitors the exchange rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly.

5.3Regulatory risk

The regulatory framework of online gaming is dynamic and complex and changes om the regulatory regime can have a material adverse effect on business volume and financial performance in that jurisdiction. The Group’s Management obtains frequent and routine updates regarding the changes in the law in the jurisdictions of interest.

5.4Data Protection risk

The Group processes a large quantity of personal customer data, including sensitive data such as name, address, age, bank details and gaming/betting history. Such data could be wrongfully accessed or used by employees, customers, suppliers or third parties, or lost, disclosed or improperly processed in breach of data protection regulations. In particular, the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) entered into force in May 2018, having a significant effect on the Group’s privacy and data protection practices, as it introduced various changes to how personal information should be collected, maintained, processed and secured. Non-compliance with the GDPR may result in fines and the Group could also be subject to private litigation and loss of customer goodwill and confidence. The Group has procedures and policies in place with the object of minimising such risk and losses.

5.5Reputation risk

The risk of loss of reputation arising from the negative publicity relating to the Group’s operations (whether true or false) may result in a reduction of its clientele, reduction in revenue and legal cases against the Group. The Group applies procedures to minimize this risk.

6.    Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on Management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Judgments

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

6.     Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

Internally generated intangible assets

Costs relating to internally generated intangible assets, are capitalised if the criteria for recognition as assets are met. The initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility criteria are met. In making this judgement, management considers the progress made in each development project and its latest forecasts for each project. Other expenditure is charged to the consolidated income statement in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Impairment of intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recorded at acquisition cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful economic life. Intangible assets that are acquired through a business combination are initially recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least once per year and definite-lived intangible asssets are evaluated upon the occurance of a triggering event. The impairment test is performed using the discounted cash flows expected to be generated through the use of the intangible assets, using a discount rate that reflects the current market estimations and the risks associated with the asset. When it is impractical to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit in which the asset belongs to.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, Management of the Group have elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognising short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes and realising their performance potential in the long run.

28.  Contingent liabilities

The Group operates in numerous jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Group files tax returns, provides for and pays all taxes and duties it believes are due based on local tax laws, transfer pricing agreements and tax advice obtained. The Group is also periodically subject to audits and assessments by local taxing authorities however no audit has been carried out so far and all fiscal years starting from 2009 onwards are still open. Provisions for uncertain items are made using judgement of the most likely tax expected to be paid and the basis thereon, based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant information. The Group considers that any exposure for additional taxes, if any, that may arise from the final settlement of such assessments is unlikely to result in any further liability.

In September of 2020, it was identified by management that a player on the Group’s platform, from the United Kingdom, had potentially used stolen funds to place bets. The Group has reported this matter to the United Kingdom Gaming Commission “UKGC” and has segregated funds equal to the player losses of 465,988 euros, and has recorded this amount within deferred revenues, as included in other accruals (see Note 25). The Group has sought legal advice on this matter, but there is no known outcome at the present time. Management has concluded that the Company’s exposure, if any would be limited to the amount of the player’s loss.

License fee commitments

From August 2021 onwards, the Group has annual license fee commitments of EUR 714,000 for all license held in Greece.

30.  Events after the reporting period

Management has evaluated subsequent events through December 17, 2021, the date of issuance of the combined carve-out financial statements.

During the year 2019 the Group acquired an Italian gaming license which was launched on February 8, 2021 in order to comply with the regulatory authorities and expand the operations in the Italian jurisdiction during 2021.

On February 11, 2021 Novigroup Ltd declared an interim dividend of €17,953,600 to Sendross Ltd, which was offset against the amounts receivable from Sendross Ltd to Novigroup Ltd.

On February 12, 2021 Komisium Ltd became the parent company of the Group. As part of the restructuring process mentioned in note 1, Komisium Ltd acquired Novigroup Ltd from Sendross Ltd for €500,000 and on the same day, Logflex MT Holding Ltd acquired Novigroup Ltd from Komisium Ltd for €500,000 and all the rights of the internally generated software from Sendross Group for €1,200. On the same day Komisium Ltd acquired from Sendross Ltd Logflex Ltd for €200,000 which is not part of the combined financial statements.

In April 2021, the Group as part of its Business Sustainability plan and Corporate Social Responsibility “CSR” framework and has committed to invest €1,500,000 in activities related to CSR for the years 2021 – 2023 in total. Management expects that this investment will enable the Group to deliver against its broader responsibilities and commitments as a business whilst also supporting its long-term sustainable growth.

On June 29, 2021 various novation agreements which were signed between Sendross Group, the Group and Komisium Ltd. Payables to Sendross Group (Sendross Ltd, Logflex Ltd and Gaming Synergies Ltd) in total of €43,217,521 have been partly settled by offsetting all amounts receivable by the Group from Sendross Group of €35,360,034. As a result as at June 30, 2021 the Group has a net balance payable to Sendross Group of €7,856,287 which was then novated by Sendross Ltd to Komisium Ltd.

During the year 2021 the Company acquired a Greek gaming license which was launched on August 5, 2021 in order to comply with the new regulatory regime and ensure the continuity of the business expansion in the Greek jurisdiction. Prior to that date the Company was operating in the Greek jurisdiction under a temporary regulatory regime using the UK license held by Novigroup Ltd which is established in Isle of Man.

The new Greek License was obtained by the subsidiary company Gamart Limited which is establised in Malta. As a result from August 5, 2021 onwards, the corporate profits will be subject to the 35% tax rate in Malta compared to the 0% tax rate in Isle of Man, which was effective prior to that date.

On September 3, 2021 Novigroup Ltd sold its participarion in Game Play Network Inc. to Komisium Ltd for the consideration of USD $300,000.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Article I

The Closing Transactions

Section 1.1 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”), other than the filing of the Certificate of Merger, shall take place by conference call and by exchange of signature pages by email or other electronic transmission at a time and date to be specified in writing by the Company and SPAC, which shall be no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the applicable party or parties of those conditions), or at such other time, on such other date and in such other manner as the Company and SPAC agree in writing (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

Section 1.2 Exchange Agent.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, SPAC shall engage SPAC’s transfer agent (or another Person reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to act as exchange agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by Section 2.6(a) to (c) and Section 3.1 (the “Exchange Agent”), and the Exchange Agent shall enter into an exchange agent agreement reasonably acceptable to the Parties (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) for the purpose of (i) exchanging, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Section 1.3), each SPAC Class A Share on the register of stockholders of SPAC, including the SPAC Class A Shares issuable immediately prior to the Effective Time in connection with the SPAC Class B Conversion, and each Company Ordinary Share on the register of members of the Company and (ii) the issuing of PubCo Shares in connection with Closing.

(b) At the Effective Time, PubCo shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the Merger Consideration and the Closing Share Consideration. PubCo shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to deliver the Merger Consideration and the Closing Share Consideration in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 1.3 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, SPAC, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or other amount payable pursuant to this Agreement any amount of Taxes required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Law. If any such withholding is so required in connection with any such payments, the Party required to so withhold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to the Party in respect of whom such withholding is required to be paid of the amounts to be so deducted and withheld no later than five (5) days prior to such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be (a) duly and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, and (b) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Upon the written request of any Person with respect to which amounts were so deducted or withheld, the payor shall provide such Person with a copy of documentary evidence of remittance of such amounts upon request from such Person. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith with any request to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms, declarations or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

Section 1.4 SPAC Financing Certificate. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, SPAC shall deliver to the Company written notice (the “SPAC Financing Certificate”) setting forth: (a) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any exercise of the redemption of SPAC Class A Shares pursuant to the Organizational Documents of SPAC (the

Table of Contents

SPAC Stockholder Redemptions”); (b) the anticipated Gross Closing Proceeds of SPAC; (c) the amount of all Artemis Transaction Expenses; and (d) the number of SPAC Class A Shares to be outstanding immediately prior to the Closing after giving effect to the SPAC Stockholder Redemptions.

Article II

Merger

Section 2.1 SPAC Class B Conversion. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC Class B Conversion shall be effected. Following the SPAC Class B Conversion, each SPAC Class B Share shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each former holder of SPAC Class B Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to the SPAC Class B Shares; provided, however, no fraction of a SPAC Class A Share will be issued by virtue of the SPAC Class B Conversion.

Section 2.2 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, immediately following the SPAC Class B Conversion, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be effected by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and reasonably agreed by the Parties. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Effective Time” shall mean the time at which the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and has become effective in accordance with the DGCL or such later time as Merger Sub and SPAC may agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger pursuant to the DGCL.

Section 2.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub shall, automatically and without any action on the part of any Party or any other Person, be merged with and into SPAC, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and SPAC shall continue as the Surviving Company after the Effective Time and as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the assets, property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and SPAC shall become the assets, property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Company, which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Company of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and SPAC set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time.

Section 2.4 Governing Documents. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company, except all references to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by the name of the Surviving Company, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by Applicable Law.

Section 2.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company. Immediately after the Effective Time, (i) the board of directors of the Surviving Company shall be the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until any such director’s successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal and (ii) the officers of the Surviving Company shall be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company.

Section 2.6 Effect of the Merger on Securities of SPAC and Merger Sub. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Parties or any other Person, the following shall occur:

(a) SPAC Units. To the extent any SPAC Units remain outstanding and unseparated, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC Class A Shares and the SPAC Public Warrants comprising each such issued and outstanding SPAC Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically separated (the “SPAC Unit Separation”) and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one (1) SPAC Class A Share and one-half of one (0.5) SPAC Public Warrant; provided, however, that no fractional SPAC Public Warrants will be issued in connection with the SPAC Unit Separation such that if a holder of SPAC Units would be entitled to receive a fractional SPAC Public Warrant upon the SPAC Unit Separation, the number of SPAC Public Warrants to be issued to such holder upon the SPAC Unit Separation (after aggregating all fractional SPAC Public Warrants that

A-1-4

Table of Contents

otherwise would be received by such holder) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of SPAC Public Warrants. The SPAC Class A Shares and SPAC Public Warrants held following the SPAC Unit Separation shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 2.6. After giving effect to the SPAC Unit Separation, the SPAC Class B Conversion and all SPAC Stockholder Redemptions, each issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Share (other than any Excluded SPAC Shares), shall be automatically converted into, and the holder of such SPAC Class A Share shall be entitled to receive from the Exchange Agent, for each SPAC Class A Share, one (1) PubCo Share (the “Merger Consideration”), following which, each SPAC Class A Share shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist by virtue of the Merger, and each former holder of SPAC Class A Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to the SPAC Class A Shares, except as provided herein or by Applicable Law. PubCo shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the PubCo Shares issued pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) to be issued in book-entry form as of the Effective Time.

(b) SPAC Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of a SPAC Warrant, each whole SPAC Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by PubCo and will be exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Warrant Agreement, for one (1) PubCo Share.

(c) Merger Sub Shares. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Shares”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically convert into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Company. The shares of common stock of the Surviving Company shall have the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company.

(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, none of the Parties or the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law. Any portion of the Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by SPAC Stockholders immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of PubCo free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Excluded SPAC Shares. Each SPAC Share held in SPAC’s treasury or owned by the Company, PubCo or Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or SPAC immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Excluded SPAC Share”) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid or payable with respect thereto.

(f) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or stock distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into SPAC Class A Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to SPAC Class A Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

Section 2.7 No Further Ownership of SPAC Class A Shares. All Merger Consideration delivered upon the exchange of SPAC Class A Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been exchanged and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the securities represented by such SPAC Class A Shares and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of stockholders of SPAC of the SPAC Class A Shares and that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.8 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company following the Merger with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of SPAC and Merger Sub, the officers and directors (or their designees) of the Surviving Company are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

(b) Assuming the truth of the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained in this Agreement, the execution and delivery by SPAC of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, does not, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder will not, require any consent, notice, approval, authorization or permit of, or designation, declaration or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except: (i) any consents, notices, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations or filings, the absence of which would not reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect; (ii) applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in which SPAC is qualified to do business; and (iii) the filing of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 5.6 Legal Compliance; Approvals. Since its incorporation, SPAC has complied in all material respects with, and is not in violation of, any Applicable Law with respect to the conduct of its business, or the ownership or operation of its business, except for any such non-compliance or violation that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a SPAC Material Adverse Effect. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, since the date of its incorporation, to the Knowledge of SPAC, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to SPAC has been pending or threatened in writing and no written or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, oral notice of material non-compliance with any Applicable Law has been received by SPAC. SPAC is in possession of all Approvals necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Approvals, except where the failure to have such Approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.7 SPAC SEC Reports and Financial Statements.

(a) SPAC has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements, certifications and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed or furnished by SPAC with the SEC under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since SPAC’s incorporation to the date of this Agreement, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date of this Agreement, the “SPAC SEC Reports”). SPAC has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by SPAC with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by SPAC with the SEC and are currently in effect. The SPAC SEC Reports were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The SPAC SEC Reports did not, at the time they were filed with the SEC (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

misleading. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to the SPAC SEC Reports. To the Knowledge of SPAC, none of the SPAC SEC Reports are subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation. SPAC maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. To the Knowledge of SPAC, each director and executive officer of SPAC has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to SPAC by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As used in this Section 5.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the representation and warranty set forth in the third sentence of this Section 5.7 shall take into account any subsequent guidance, statements or interpretations issued by the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to accounting matters relating to initial public offerings, securities, or expenses of special purpose acquisition companies, including but not limited to the classification of SPAC Shares as permanent or temporary equity (collectively, the “SEC Guidance”), and no correction, amendment restatement, revision, or modification of any of the SPAC SEC Reports relating to or arising from the SEC Guidance shall be deemed to be a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in the third sentence of this Section 5.7.

(b) The financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the SPAC SEC Reports (collectively, the “SPAC Financial Statements”) fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of SPAC as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in such financial statements, all in accordance with: (i) GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. SPAC has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the SPAC SEC Reports.

(c) There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by SPAC to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of SPAC. SPAC has not taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(d) SPAC has established and maintained a system of internal controls. Such internal controls are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance (i) that transactions, receipts and expenditures of SPAC are being executed and made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management of SPAC and (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, and (iii) that material violations of applicable Law by any of SPAC’s directors, officers, employees or its or their respective agents, representatives or other Persons, acting on behalf of SPAC will be prevented, detected and deterred. SPAC has not been subject to or involved in any fraud that involves management or other employees, including but not limited to those which have significant role in the internal controls over financial reporting of SPAC. As of the date of this Agreement, neither SPAC nor, to the Knowledge of SPAC, SPAC’s independent auditors has identified or been made aware of any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by SPAC.

Section 5.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Between its incorporation and the date of this Agreement, there has not been: (a) any SPAC Material Adverse Effect; (b) any change in the auditors of SPAC; (c) any revaluation by SPAC of any of its assets, including any sale of assets of SPAC other than in the ordinary course of business; or (d) any action taken or agreed upon by SPAC or any of its Subsidiaries that would be prohibited by Section 6.2 if such action were taken on or after the date hereof without the consent of the Company.

Section 5.9 Litigation. As of the date hereof, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, there are: (a) no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened against SPAC or any of its properties or assets, or any of the directors or officers of SPAC in their capacity as such; (b) to the Knowledge of SPAC, no facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material Legal Proceeding; (c) no pending or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened in writing to SPAC, audits, examinations or investigations by any Governmental Entity of SPAC; and (d) no pending or threatened in writing Legal Proceedings by SPAC against any third party.

Section 5.10 Business Activities. Except for as described in Schedule 5.10 of the SPAC Disclosure Letter, SPAC has not conducted any business activities other than activities: (a) in connection with its organization; or (b) directed toward the accomplishment of an initial business combination. Except as set forth in SPAC’s Organizational Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon SPAC or to which it is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or

impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted (including, in each case, following the Closing). Except for the Transactions, SPAC does not own or have a right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other entity. Except for the Transactions and the Transaction Agreements, SPAC has no material interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, and is not party to, bound by or has its assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or would reasonably be interpreted as constituting a “Business Combination” under SPAC’s Organizational Documents.

Section 5.11 SPAC Material Contracts. Except for as described in Schedule 5.11 of the SPAC Disclosure Letter, each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K of the SEC) to which SPAC is a party (the “SPAC Material Contracts”) is an exhibit to the SPAC SEC Reports.

There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened against SPAC by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the SPAC Units, the SPAC Class A Shares or SPAC Public Warrants or terminate the listing thereof on Nasdaq. None of SPAC or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the SPAC Units, the SPAC Class A Shares or SPAC Public Warrants under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.13 Undisclosed Liabilities. There is no liability, debt or obligation (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of SPAC of a type required to be reflected or reserved for on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, except for liabilities, debts and obligations: (a) provided for in, or otherwise reflected or reserved for on, the SPAC Financial Statements or disclosed in the notes thereto; (b) that have arisen since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the SPAC Financial Statements in the ordinary course of the operation of business of SPAC; (c) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (d) which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.14 Trust Account.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, SPAC has at least Two Hundred and Five Million Dollars ($205,000,000) in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), effective as of September 29, 2021, by and between SPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (“Continental”), for the benefit of its public stockholders, with such funds invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Other than pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the obligations of SPAC under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding SPAC’s, its Affiliates’, or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of SPAC with respect to Continental, is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exception. SPAC has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by SPAC or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, Continental. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the SPAC SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect or, to SPAC’s Knowledge, that would entitle any Person to any portion of the funds in the Trust Account (other than (i) in respect of deferred underwriting commissions or taxes, (ii) the SPAC Stockholders who shall have elected to redeem their SPAC Class A Shares pursuant to the Organizational Documents of SPAC or (iii) if SPAC fails to complete a business combination within the allotted time period set forth in the Organizational Documents of SPAC and liquidates the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, SPAC (in limited amounts to permit SPAC to pay the expenses of the Trust Account’s liquidation, dissolution and winding up of SPAC) and then the SPAC Stockholders). Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and other taxes from any interest income earned on the Trust Account; (B) to pay liquidation expenses not to exceed $100,000 from any interest

(c) SPAC has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of SPAC to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to SPAC’s Organizational Documents shall terminate, and as of the Effective Time, SPAC shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to SPAC’s Organizational Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of SPAC by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained herein and the compliance by the other Parties with their respective obligations hereunder, SPAC has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the release of funds from the Trust Account to SPAC will not be satisfied on the Closing Date.

Section 5.15 Taxes.

(a) All material Tax Returns required to be filed by SPAC have been timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Entity (taking into account applicable extensions of time to file), except with respect to matters being contest in good faith by appropriate proceeding and with respect to which adequate reserves have been made in accordance with GAAP. All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(b) SPAC has timely paid all material amounts of its Taxes which are due and payable (regardless of whether shown on a Tax Return). The unpaid liability for Taxes of SPAC did not, as of the date of the latest SPAC Financial Statements, materially exceed the reserve for Tax liabilities (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes) accrued on the SPAC Financial Statements, and since such date SPAC has not incurred any material liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business.

(c) SPAC has complied in all material respects with all Applicable Laws relating to the withholding and remittance of all material amounts of Taxes and all material amounts of Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld by SPAC have been withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

SPAC is not currently contesting any material Tax liability before any Governmental Entity.

(e) There are no Liens (other than Permitted Liens) for material amounts of Taxes upon any of SPAC’s assets.

(n) To the knowledge of SPAC, there are no facts, circumstances or plans that, either alone or in combination, could reasonably be expected to prevent the applicable Transactions from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 5.16 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of SPAC expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference prior to the Closing in the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement will, when the Registration Statement is declared effective or when the Proxy Statement is mailed to the SPAC Stockholders or at the time of the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting, and in the case of any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time of such amendment or supplement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

SPAC does not maintain, sponsor, contribute to, participate in or have any liability (actual or contingent) with respect to any plan, program, agreement or arrangement providing compensation or benefits to officers, employees or other individual independent contracts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder: (a) will result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer, individual independent contractor or employee of SPAC; or (b) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such payment or benefits.

Section 5.18 Board Approval; Stockholder Vote. The board of directors of SPAC, as of the date of this Agreement, unanimously: (a) approved and declared the advisability of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder; and (b) determined that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party is in the best interest of SPAC.

SPAC shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals and authorizations from the SPAC Stockholders at the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting, including by soliciting proxies as promptly as practicable in accordance with Applicable Law for the purpose of seeking such approvals and authorizations from the SPAC Stockholders, and use its commercially reasonable efforts (without being obligated to pay any money, offer any economic accommodations or incur any obligation) to minimize redemptions of SPAC Class A Shares by SPAC Stockholders.

of an offer, proposal or inquiry relating to any merger, sale of ownership interests and/or assets, recapitalization or similar transaction involving SPAC (any SPAC Change in Recommendation in accordance with the foregoing provisos, “Permitted SPAC Change in Recommendation”). SPAC agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval from the SPAC Stockholders shall not be affected by any SPAC Change in Recommendation, and SPAC agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting and submit for the approval of the SPAC Stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement as contemplated by this Section 8.1(b), regardless of whether or not there shall have occurred any SPAC Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, SPAC shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting: (i) to the extent required by Applicable Law, (ii) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the board of directors of SPAC has determined in good faith is required by Applicable Law is disclosed to SPAC Stockholders with sufficient time prior to the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting for SPAC Stockholders to consider the disclosures contained in such supplement or amendment; (iii) if, as of the time for which the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement or its supplement), there are insufficient SPAC Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting; (iv) in order to solicit additional proxies from SPAC Stockholders for purposes of obtaining approval from the SPAC Stockholders or (v) to continue to attempt to satisfy all conditions to Closing; provided that, the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting is held no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Outside Date; provided, further, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment, the SPAC Stockholders’ Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matter causing the postponement or adjournment has been resolved. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit SPAC, its board of directors or any committee thereof from making any disclosure to its stockholders that is required by Applicable Law or if SPAC’s board of directors determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that any such action that would otherwise constitute a SPAC Change in Recommendation shall be made only in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 8.1(b).

(a) Equity Plan. Within 90 days of the Effective Time, PubCo shall approve and adopt an incentive equity plan, based on (i) the recommendations of an independent compensation consultant engaged by PubCo and (ii) the terms and conditions agreed upon by PubCo’s board of directors.

(a) SPAC and the Company acknowledge that they are parties to the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event that this Section 8.6(a) or the Confidentiality Agreement conflicts with any other covenant or agreement contained herein or any other Transaction Agreement that contemplates the disclosure, use or provision of information or otherwise, then the Confidentiality Agreement shall govern and control to the extent of such conflict.

(b) The Company Shareholder agrees that it shall be bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, as if it was the Company party thereto, and acknowledges that it is, and shall remain until Closing, subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parties will make any public announcement or issue any public communication regarding this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions or any matter related to the foregoing, without the prior written consent of (i) the Company, in the case of a public announcement by SPAC or its Affiliates, (ii) SPAC, in the case of a public announcement by the Company or its Affiliates and (iii) the Company and SPAC, in the case of a public announcement by PubCo (such consents, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except: (A) for routine disclosures to Governmental Entities made by the Company in the ordinary course of business; (B) for routine disclosures to Governmental Entities made by SPAC in the ordinary course of business; (C) if SPAC determines in good faith that such announcement or other communication is necessary or advisable in connection with any Permitted SPAC Change in Recommendation, in which case SPAC shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, first allow such other Parties to review such announcement or communication and have the opportunity to comment thereon and SPAC shall consider such comments in good faith; (D) if such announcement or other communication is required by Applicable Law, in which case the disclosing Party

A-1-35

shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, first allow such other Parties to review such announcement or communication and have the opportunity to comment thereon and the disclosing Party shall consider such comments in good faith; (E) if such announcement or other communication is made in connection with SPAC or the Company’s fundraising or other investment related activities, in each case, in connection with the Transactions, and is made to such Person’s direct and indirect investors or potential investors or financing sources subject to an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (F) to the extent such announcements or other communications are consistent with information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved or made in accordance with Section 8.4 or this Section 8.6(c); (G) announcements and communications to Governmental Entities in connection with registrations, declarations and filings relating to the Transactions required to be made under this Agreement; and (H) communications to employees of the Group Companies, and to customers and suppliers of the Group Companies for purposes of seeking any consents and approvals required in connection with the Transactions, and then only to the extent such communications are consistent with information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved or made in accordance with Section 8.4. 

(d) Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company will afford SPAC and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel and other representatives who have a need to know such information reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the books, records and personnel of the Group Companies during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of business development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Group Companies, as SPAC may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be (i) conducted in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the businesses or operations of the Company and (ii) limited as required by the Company’s policies or Applicable Law in connection with COVID-19 (including any COVID-19 Measures). Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, SPAC will afford the Company and its financial advisors, underwriters, accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the books, records and personnel of SPAC during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including properties, results of operations and personnel of SPAC, as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be (i) conducted in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the businesses or operations of SPAC and (ii) limited as required by SPAC’s policies or Applicable Law in connection with COVID-19 (including any COVID-19 Measures). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor SPAC, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries or Representatives, shall be required to provide, or cause to be provided to, the other party any information if and to the extent doing so would (A) violate any Applicable Law to which the Company or SPAC, as applicable, is subject, (B) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties in breach of any Contract with such third-party, (C) violate any legally binding obligation of the Company or SPAC, as applicable, with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure or privacy or (D) jeopardize protections afforded to the Company or SPAC, as applicable, under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine (provided that, in case of each of clauses (A) through (D), the Company and SPAC shall each use reasonable best efforts to (x) provide such access as can be provided (or otherwise convey such information regarding the applicable matter as can be conveyed) without violating such privilege, doctrine, Contract, obligation or Applicable Law and (y) provide such information in a manner without violating such privilege, doctrine, Contract, obligation or Applicable Law).

Section 8.7 Transfer Restriction.

The Company Shareholder hereby agrees not to, directly or indirectly, during the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, (i) sell, offer, transfer, exchange, pledge, encumber, assign, hedge, swap, convert or otherwise dispose of (including by merger, by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of Law or otherwise) (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any Contract or option with respect to the Transfer of, any of the Company Shareholder’s Equity Interests of the Company or PubCo or the beneficial ownership (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) thereof, or (ii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Company Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect as of the Closing Date or have the effect of preventing the Company Shareholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit a Transfer by the Company Shareholder as of the date of this Agreement of up to ten percent (10%) of the issued Company Ordinary Shares prior to the Closing Date (a “Permitted Transfer”, and the transferee in any Permitted Transfer, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, further, that any Permitted Transfer shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the Permitted Transferee agrees in a written joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, to assume all of the obligations of the Company Shareholder under, and be bound by all of the terms of, this Agreement; provided, further, that any

A-1-36

Table of Contents

Transfer permitted under this Section 8.7 shall not relieve the Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 8.7 with respect to the Company Shareholder’s Equity Interests of the Company shall be null and void.

Section 8.8 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as practicable, the Merger, the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party. Each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all commercially reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VIII to be timely satisfied; and (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and third parties, and to make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Parties agree to make, within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date (or within such other earlier timeframe as required by Applicable Law), appropriate filings in connection with each of the Gaming Notifications.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 8.8 shall be deemed to require any Party to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such consent may be required (unless such payment is required in accordance with the terms of the relevant Contract requiring such consent).

Section 8.9 No Claim Against Trust Account. The Parties acknowledge that SPAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. The Parties further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated September 29, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account for the benefit of SPAC, certain of its public stockholders and the underwriters of SPAC’s initial public offering. The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by SPAC that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to SPAC to pay its franchise Tax, income Tax and similar obligations, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) if SPAC completes the transactions which constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; (ii) if SPAC fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, to SPAC in limited amounts to permit SPAC to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to SPAC’s public stockholders; and (iii) if SPAC holds a stockholder vote to amend SPAC’s certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of SPAC Shares if SPAC fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period, then for the redemption of any SPAC Shares properly tendered in connection with such vote. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties (on behalf of themselves, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives) hereby irrevocably waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom regardless of whether such right, title interest or claim of any kind arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement, negotiations related to the Transactions or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on Contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Parties’ right to pursue a claim against SPAC pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside the Trust Account (other than distribution therefrom directly or indirectly to SPAC’s public stockholders), or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. Each Party agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC to induce SPAC to enter this Agreement, and each Party further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable. This Section 8.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Section 8.10 Company and SPAC Securities Listings.

(a) From the date hereof through the Closing, SPAC shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure SPAC remains listed as a public company on, and for SPAC Class A Shares and SPAC Public Warrants (but, in the case of SPAC Public Warrants, only to the extent issued as of the date hereof) to be listed on, Nasdaq. Prior to the Closing Date, SPAC shall cooperate with the other Parties and use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are reasonably necessary or advisable to cause the SPAC Class A

A-1-37

(c) PubCo will use its reasonable best efforts to cause: (i) PubCo’s initial listing application with Nasdaq in connection with the Transactions to have been approved; (ii) PubCo to satisfy all applicable initial listing requirements of Nasdaq; and (iii) the PubCo Shares to be issued and the SPAC Warrants to be assumed in accordance with this Agreement to be approved for listing on Nasdaq (and SPAC and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith), subject to official notice of issuance, in each case, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Closing.

Section 8.11 No Solicitation.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall direct its employees, agents, officers, directors, representatives and advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, enter into or continue discussions, negotiations or transactions with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or provide any information to, any Person (other than SPAC and its agents, representatives and advisors) concerning (A) any financing, investment, merger, sale or purchase of ownership interests or assets, recapitalization, share exchange, or other business combination transaction, (B) sale of all or a material portion of the assets of the Company (whether by recapitalization or a similar transaction or otherwise) or (C) any underwritten public offering, direct listing, or other transaction intended to result in the listing of securities of the Company on any stock exchange other than as contemplated by this Agreement (each, a “Company Competing Transaction”); (ii) enter into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Competing Transaction; or (iii) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding a Company Competing Transaction. In addition, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Company Competing Transaction.

(b) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, SPAC shall not, and shall direct its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, enter into or continue discussions or transactions with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or provide any information to, any Person (other than the Company and its Representatives) concerning any merger, purchase of ownership interests or assets of SPAC, recapitalization or other business combination transaction (each, a “SPAC Business Combination”); (ii) enter into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to a SPAC Business Combination; or (iii) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding a SPAC Business Combination. SPAC shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any SPAC Business Combination.

(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after becoming aware of such inquiry, proposal, offer or submission) notify SPAC if it or, to its Knowledge, any of its Representatives receives any inquiry, proposal, offer or submission with respect to a Company Competing Transaction (including the identity of the Person making such inquiry or submitting such proposal, offer or submission), after the execution and delivery of this Agreement. If the Company or its Representatives receives an inquiry, proposal, offer or submission with respect to a Company Competing Transaction, the Company shall provide SPAC with a copy of such inquiry, proposal, offer or submission.

Section 8.12 Trust Account. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII and provision of notice thereof to Continental (which notice SPAC shall provide to Continental in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement); (a) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, SPAC: (i) shall cause the documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to Continental pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered; and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts

A-1-38

to cause Continental to, and Continental thereupon shall be obligated to, (1) pay as and when due all amounts payable to the holders of SPAC Class A Shares pursuant to the SPAC Stockholder Redemptions, (2) pay any amounts payable by SPAC in connection with the Transactions (including the Closing Cash Consideration, if any), the consummation of SPAC’s initial public offering (including deferred underwriting fees) or otherwise, including tax obligations, and (3) pay all remaining amounts then available in the Trust Account to SPAC for immediate use, subject to this Agreement and the Trust Agreement; and (b) thereafter, the Trust Agreement shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

Section 8.13 Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance.

(a) All rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of SPAC (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators and the Sponsor, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), as provided in SPAC’s Organizational Documents or under any indemnification agreement such D&O Indemnified Parties may have with SPAC, in each case, as in effect as of immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date. For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, PubCo shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company (or another Group Company at PubCo’s election), to indemnify the D&O Indemnified Party against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the SPAC would have been permitted under Applicable Law. PubCo shall, and shall cause the applicable Group Company to, not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any provisions of their Organizational Documents in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim.

(b) Prior to the Closing, SPAC shall purchase a “tail” or “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Tail”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Person that is a director or officer of SPAC and the Company currently covered by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of SPAC or the Company, as the case may be, on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement for the six-year period following the Closing. PubCo shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Company, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 8.13(b).

(c) On the Closing Date, PubCo shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to the other Parties with the post-Closing directors of PubCo, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

(d) The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under SPAC’s Organizational Documents, any other indemnification arrangement, any Applicable Law or otherwise. The obligations of PubCo, SPAC and the Company under this Section 8.13 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 8.13 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 8.13.

(e) If after the Closing, the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, PubCo shall use reasonable best efforts to make proper provisions for the successors and assigns of such Group Company, as applicable, to assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.13.

Section 8.14 Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties intend that the Transactions, taken together, qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. No Party shall take any action prior to the Closing, and PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action or fail to take any action (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any Group Company or its Affiliates from taking any action or failing to take any action) following the Closing, that would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or that would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a Tax-deferred exchange under Section 351(a) of the Code or fail to qualify for the exception to Section 367(a) of the Code under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(1); provided, that, Pubco shall not, and shall cause the Group Companies and its Affiliates not to, cause SPAC to be liquidated or ceasing to exist for U.S. federal income tax purposes after the Closing at a time or in a manner that would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or that would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a tax-deferred exchange under Section 351(a) of the Code or fail to qualify for the exception to Section 367(a) of the Code under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(1). To the extent applicable, the Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment, including the filing of the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3 and including complying with the reporting requirements contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(6), unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Applicable Law) or a change in Applicable Law; provided, however, nothing in this Section 8.14(a) shall prevent any Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives from settling, or require any of them to litigate, any challenge or other similar proceeding by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify all other Parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Entity.

(b) The Parties hereto shall work together in good faith pursuant to such arrangements as may be mutually agreed to ensure PubCo shall not be treated as a domestic corporation under Section 7874 of the Code following the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) After Closing, (i) SPAC shall provide to SPAC shareholders, and (ii) PubCo shall provide to former SPAC shareholders, information that is reasonably required in order for such shareholders to make an election as contemplated by Section 1295 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to SPAC or PubCo for any year that SPAC or PubCo is considered a PFIC, including through provision of the Annual Information Statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g).

(d) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, registration, value added and similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes or fees based in whole or in part upon income, profits or gains) (“Transfer Taxes”) that become payable by the Company or SPAC in connection with or by reason of the execution of this Agreement or the Transactions shall be borne equally by the Company Shareholder and PubCo. The Company shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and SPAC and the Company Shareholder shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to establish any available exemption from (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.

(e) If, in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement or the SEC’s review thereof, the SEC requests or requires that a tax opinion with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transactions be prepared and submitted, the Parties shall deliver to counsel customary Tax representation letters satisfactory to such counsel, dated and executed as of the date such relevant filing shall have been declared effective by the SEC and such other date(s) as determined to be reasonably necessary by such counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of such tax opinion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither SPAC nor its tax advisors are obligated to provide any opinion that the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement otherwise qualify for the Intended Tax Treatments (other than a customary opinion regarding the material accuracy of any disclosure regarding U.S. federal income tax considerations of such transactions included in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement as may be required to satisfy applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC). The Parties will work together in good faith to refine further the Transaction structure, solely to the extent consistent with the foregoing, to address, to the extent possible, material tax inefficiencies. For clarity, advisors to the SPAC will not be required to provide any tax opinion, nor will a tax opinion by any Party’s advisors be a condition precedent to the Transaction.

Table of Contents

(f) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) elect for all income Tax purposes to treat any taxable period that includes the Closing Date as ending at the end of the Closing Date and to treat all items for income Tax purposes with respect to such a taxable period as allocable based on an interim closing of the books on the Closing Date. Each Party shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

(g) For all purposes under this Agreement (including the determination of Taxes relating to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date), in the case of any Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the end of the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of property Taxes, ad valorem Taxes and other similar Taxes, the amount of the Tax for portion of the Straddle Period that is a Pre-Closing Period shall equal the amount of the Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; and (y) in the case of any other Taxes (including income, employment, or sales and use), the amount of the Tax for the portion of the Straddle Period that is a Pre-Closing Period shall equal the amount of such Tax that would have been payable had the relevant Person actually filed a separate Tax Return for the potion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (using, as applicable, a “closing of the books” methodology).

(h) Unless otherwise requested by SPAC, the Company Shareholder shall cause all (1) Tax Sharing Agreements (other than customary commercial Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business not primarily related to Taxes) with respect to or involving the any Group Company to be terminated prior to the Closing Date and (2) no Group Company to be bound thereby or have any rights, obligations or liability thereunder with respect to any taxable period.

Section 8.15 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, SPAC shall take all reasonable steps as may be required or permitted to cause any acquisition or disposition of the SPAC Shares that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason of or pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to SPAC to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 8.16 Takeover Statutes. Each of the Company, PubCo, Merger Sub and SPAC and its respective board of directors shall (a) grant all such approvals and take all such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate so that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement (including the Merger, the Share Exchange and the other Transactions) and (b) if any Takeover Law is or may become applicable to this Agreement (including the Merger, the Share Exchange and the other Transactions), grant all such approvals and take all such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable hereafter on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act reasonably to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Law on such transactions.

Section 8.17 Board of Directors. The Parties shall ensure that effective immediately after the Closing (a) the board of directors of PubCo shall consist of five (5) members, (i) with SPAC being entitled to nominate and appoint two (2) members to be reasonably approved by the Company (of which at least one (1) member shall satisfy Nasdaq diversity requirements) and with the Company being entitled to nominate and appoint three (3) members in its sole discretion (one of which shall be Rodolfo Odoni who shall also be appointed Chairman of the board of directors of PubCo), and (ii) of which three (3) members will qualify as “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.

Section 8.18 Warrant Agreement. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, SPAC shall assign to PubCo and PubCo shall assume all of SPAC’s rights, interests, and obligations in and under the Warrant Agreement, and the Parties shall, to the extent required by the Warrant Agreement, cause the agent of the SPAC Warrants to enter into an assignment and assumption agreement reflecting such assignment and assumption of the SPAC Warrants by PubCo and other amendments to the Warrant Agreement as agreed between the Parties, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D (the Warrant Agreement, as assigned, assumed, and amended, the “Assumed Warrant Agreement”).

Section 8.19 Transaction Litigation. In the event that any shareholder litigation related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions is brought or threatened in writing against a Party, or any of the respective members of their boards of directors, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing (the “Transaction Litigation”), the Party subject to the Transaction Litigation shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing of any such Transaction Litigation and shall keep such other Parties reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Party subject to the Transaction Litigation shall give the other Parties the opportunity to participate in the defense of any Transaction Litigation (at the other Parties’ own cost and expense) and keep

A-1-41

Table of Contents

the other Parties reasonably apprised of, and consult with such other Parties (and consider in good faith such Parties’ advice), with respect to, proposed strategy and any material decisions related thereto.

Further, in the event that, during the eighteen (18) month period following the Closing Date (the “Second Earnout Period”), the VWAP per PubCo Share is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period during the Second Earnout Period, PubCo shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such twentieth (20th) trading day) issue or cause to be issued to the Company Shareholder an additional 1,470,588 PubCo Shares (“Second Level Contingent Share Consideration”) for no additional consideration. Finally, in the event that, PubCo’s First Annualized Net Gaming Revenue is greater than $171,000,000 (the “Earnings Threshold”), PubCo shall, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the condensed interim financial statements of PubCo for such calendar quarter (or if the Annualized Period corresponds to a fiscal year, the audited financial statements for such Annualized Period) have been finalized, issue or cause to be issued to the Company Shareholder an additional 1,470,588 PubCo Shares for each One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the First Annualized Gaming Revenue over the Earnings Threshold, up to a maximum of 6,862,745 PubCo Shares (such PubCo shares issued pursuant to this sentence, “Third Level Contingent Share Consideration”) for no additional consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Shareholder shall not be entitled to receive more than 9,803,921 PubCo Shares pursuant to this Section 8.25.

Table of Contents

Bloomberg, is less than $10.20 per PubCo Share, PubCo shall only be obligated to issue or cause to be issued to the Company Shareholder the Third-Level Contingent Share Consideration if the VWAP per PubCo Share is greater than or equal to $10.20 for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period during the following six (6) months period.

(b) If a Change of Control of PubCo occurs during the First Earnout Period or Second Earnout Period that provides for a price per PubCo Share equal to or in excess of the Dollar threshold applicable to First Level Contingent Share Consideration or Second Level Contingent Share Consideration as specified in clause (a) above, then, immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously paid, PubCo shall issue or cause to be issued to the Company Shareholder the First Level Contingent Share Consideration and/or Second Level Contingent Share Consideration, as applicable, and the Third Level Contingent Share Consideration. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur with respect to PubCo upon:

(i) a sale, lease, license or other disposition, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the assets of PubCo and its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to a Person other than the Company Shareholder or any of its Affiliates;

(ii) a takeover, scheme of arrangement, merger, consolidation or other business combination of PubCo resulting in any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the Closing Date), other than the Company Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, acquiring at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of PubCo or the surviving Person outstanding immediately after such combination; or

(iii) any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the Closing Date), other than the Company Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, obtaining beneficial ownership (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of the voting stock of PubCo representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of PubCo entitled to vote for the election of directors of PubCo.

(c) The First Level Contingent Share Consideration, Second Level Contingent Share Consideration and Third Level Contingent Share Consideration and the Dollar threshold applicable to First Level Contingent Share Consideration or Second Level Contingent Share Consideration as specified in clause (a) above shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, split-up, reverse share split, bonus share issuance or share distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into PubCo Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to PubCo Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the time such consideration is delivered to the Company Shareholder.

(d) PubCo shall, at all times, maintain sufficient authority to permit PubCo to satisfy its issuance obligations set forth in Section 8.25(a) and shall take all actions required to maintain such authority.

(e) The right of the Company Shareholder to receive any portion of the Earnout Consideration: (i) does not give the Company Shareholder dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or other rights of shareholders of PubCo or any ownership rights in the assets of PubCo; (ii) shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument; (iii) shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Company Shareholder, except (A) pursuant to an Order or (B) without consideration in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Company Shareholder; provided, that any such transferee(s) shall be bound by the terms of this Section 8.25; (iv) shall not accrue or pay interest on any portion thereof; and (v) does not represent any right other than the contingent right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 8.25. Any attempted transfer of the right to any Earnout Consideration (other than as specifically permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

Section 8.26 Assumption of Company Shareholder Loans. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company Shareholder has, and may prior to the Closing, extend non-interest bearing loans up to $15 million in the aggregate to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the sole purposes of financing all or any portion of the access fees, license fees, advisory fees or any other fees, charges or expenses incurred under or in connection with any Market Access Agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, in each case, accompanied by documentary evidence to SPAC demonstrating the making of each such loan (the “Company Shareholder Loans”). At the Closing, such Company Shareholder Loans shall be novated to PubCo and PubCo shall

assume and become responsible for any and all unpaid obligations of the Company with respect to the principal amount of the Company Shareholder Loans, and PubCo shall issue to the Company Shareholder an interest-bearing promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F in a principal amount equal to the lower of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Company Shareholder Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date and (ii) $15 million (the “Promissory Note”).

Section 8.27 PubCo Share Issuance Mechanics. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement will be amended prior to the Effective Time to reflect the appropriate mechanics for the issuance of PubCo Shares in connection with the Closing, including the engagement of a nominee to facilitate the transfer of such PubCo Shares via depositary receipts.

Section 8.28 Termination of Affiliate Agreements. The Company and the Company Shareholder hereby agree that, except as disclosed on Schedule 8.28 of the Company Disclosure Letter, all Affiliate Agreements shall be terminated effective on or immediately prior to the Closing, and thereupon shall be of no further force or effect, and none of the Company, the Company Shareholder nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations thereunder following the Closing. Effective immediately upon the Closing, the Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns (the Company Stockholders, together with each of the foregoing persons, the “Stockholder Releasor”), hereby irrevocably releases, waives, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Group Companies, and each of their respective present and future subsidiaries, Affiliates, Representatives, direct and indirect equity holders, parent companies, managers, officers, directors and employees (each, a “Company Releasee”) of, from and against any and all Legal Proceedings, rights, claims and causes of action arising on or prior to the Closing (collectively, “Stockholder Claims”); provided, that nothing contained in this paragraph shall extend to any claims, rights, or causes of action in connection with (i) any rights to enforce this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements and (ii) any employment agreement for individuals continuing to be employed by PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing. Each Stockholder Releasor agrees not to, and agrees to cause its equity holders, Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns, not to, assert any Stockholder Claim against any of the Company Releasees that is released pursuant to this Section 8.28 and shall bear any legal fees and other costs incurred by any Company Releasee in defending or handling any such Stockholder Claim brought by such Stockholder Releasor. This release is intended to be a complete and general release with respect to the Stockholder Claims, and specifically includes claims that are known, unknown, fixed, contingent or conditional arising on or prior to the Closing. Company Stockholder acknowledges that SPAC has relied on the waiver and release provided in this Section 8.28 in connection with entering into this Agreement and that this Section 8.28 is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third-party beneficiary rights to, each Stockholder Releasor to enforce this Section 8.28. The Company Shareholder agrees to perform, execute, and deliver, and cause each Stockholder Releasor to perform, execute and deliver, all such further acts, assurances and legal instruments required to effectuate the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Section 8.28.

other than as set forth in Section 8.13, Section 8.28 and Section 12.15 (which, in each case, will be for the benefit of the Persons named therein), are not intended to confer upon any other Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.

Section 12.6 Severability. In the event that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Applicable Law: (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 12.7 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, prior to the Closing or valid termination of this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to immediate injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it would be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.

Section 12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and the consummation the Transactions, and any action, suit, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without the application of principles of conflicts of law that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 12.9 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to any federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware and, in either case, any appellate court therefrom in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such Person and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that: (i) such Person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason; (ii) such Legal Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court; (iii) such Person’s property is exempt or immune from execution; (iv) such Legal Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (v) the venue of such Legal Proceeding is improper. Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party beneficiary hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before one of the above-named courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than one of the above-named courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 12.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 12.9, any Party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

Section 12.10 Rules of Construction. Each of the Parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each Party hereto and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 12.11 Expenses. On the Closing Date, SPAC shall pay or cause to be paid (or reimburse the applicable Party for), by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Trust Account, (i) all Artemis Transaction Expenses, as set forth on a written statement to be delivered to the Company not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which shall include the respective amounts and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof, and (ii) all Company Transaction Expenses, as set forth on a written statement to be delivered to SPAC not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which shall include the respective amounts and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof. In the event the Transactions are not consummated, each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 12.12 Assignment. No Party may assign, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.12, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 12.13 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

Section 12.14 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the Parties may, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of another Party; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to another Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. In the event any provision of any of the other Transaction Agreement in any way conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement (except where a provision therein expressly provides that it is intended to take precedence over this Agreement), this Agreement shall control.

Section 12.15 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Legal Proceeding for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as Parties to this Agreement, and no related party of a Party shall have any liability for any liabilities or obligations of the Parties for any Legal Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. No Party shall have any right of recovery in respect hereof against any related party of a Party and no personal liability shall attach to any related party of a Party through such Party, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of

any Applicable Law or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 12.15 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each related party of a Party, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 12.15.

Section 12.16 Legal Representation. SPAC, PubCo and the Company hereby agree on behalf of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Company), and each of their respective, Affiliates, successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that, in the event a dispute with respect to the Transaction Agreements or the Transactions arises after the Closing between or among (a) SPAC Stockholders or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates (other than PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “SPAC Group”), on the one hand, and (b) PubCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that White & Case, LLP (or any successor) may represent the SPAC Group, notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of SPAC or other Waiving Parties, and each of SPAC, PubCo and the Company on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest, breach of duty or any other objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Each of SPAC, PubCo and the Company, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby further agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the Closing (made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to, any Transaction Agreements or the Transactions contemplated or thereby) between or among SPAC and/or any other member of the SPAC Group, on the one hand, and White & Case, LLP (or any successor), on the other hand, the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall survive the Merger and belong to the SPAC Group after the Closing, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by the Surviving Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any privileged communications or information shared by the Company prior to the Closing with SPAC or another member of the SPAC Group under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications or information of the Surviving Company following the Closing.

Section 12.17 Disclosure Letters and Exhibits. The Company Disclosure Letter and the SPAC Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular provision set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered Section or subsection of this Agreement, except to the extent that: (a) such information is cross-referenced in another part of the Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter, as applicable; or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such information would qualify another provision in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter, as applicable, is not intended to imply that such amounts (or higher or lower amounts) are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter, as applicable, in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item, or matter not described herein or included in Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter, as applicable, is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by the Company or SPAC, as applicable, that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement, nor shall such disclosure be deemed (a) an admission of any breach or violation of any Contract or Applicable Law, (b) an admission of any liability or obligation to any third party, or (c) to establish a standard of materiality. The disclosure of any items or information that is not required by this Agreement to be so included is solely for informational purposes and the convenience of the Company or SPAC, as applicable. In addition, under no circumstances shall the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter, where a representation or warranty of the Company or SPAC, as applicable, is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given or by Company Material Adverse Effect or SPAC Material Adverse Effect, imply that any other undisclosed matter having a greater value or other significance is material or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or SPAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable. Neither the Company or SPAC shall be prejudiced in any manner whatsoever, and no presumptions shall be created, by virtue of the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter or SPAC Disclosure Letter, which otherwise is not required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Amendment to Article VIII. The following is added as a new Section 8.29 of the Merger Agreement titled “Non-Redemption and Financing Transactions”:

a.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.1, Section 7.2, or Section 8.1(b) to the contrary, prior to the date that the Registration Statement has become effective, if SPAC determines it is reasonably necessary to ensure the Net Closing Proceeds exceed $12,500,000 or to meet Nasdaq listing standards, the SPAC shall use its reasonable best efforts to enter into non-redemption agreements with one or more third parties which shall provide, among other things, that such persons shall not engage in SPAC Stockholder Redemptions with respect to the SPAC Class A Shares held by such stockholders (a “Non-Redemption Transaction”) on terms mutually acceptable to the Parties (with each Party acting reasonably and in good faith). The Company shall cooperate with the SPAC to assist with its efforts to enter into such Non-Redemption Transactions.  Such cooperation shall include, among other things, reasonably cooperating with the preparation of definitive documentation and the schedules and exhibits thereto, in each case, customarily required to be delivered under such definitive documentation, and reasonably cooperating in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the definitive Non-Redemption Transaction documentation to the extent the satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, or is within the control of, the Parties. Furthermore, if, in connection with the execution of definitive written agreements providing for a Non-Redemption Transaction, the counterparty to such Non-Redemption Transaction requires as a condition to the execution of such definitive written agreement any make whole rights, grants, issuances or transfers of additional equity securities or other similar rights with respect to any SPAC Class A Shares that are the subject of such Non-Redemption Transaction, then, subject to the mutual agreement of each of the Company, PubCo, and SPAC to such make-whole, grants, issuances or transfers of additional equity securities or other similar terms and conditions (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then either (x) the SPAC shall cause the Sponsor to transfer a number of SPAC Class B Shares to such counterparties, provided that the total number of shares transferred by the Sponsor to all such counterparties combined shall not exceed 1,000,000 SPAC Class B Shares (the “Allocated Sponsor Shares”) or (y) the SPAC shall cause the Sponsor to forfeit the Allocated Sponsor Shares and PubCo shall issue a number of newly issued PubCo Shares on the Closing Date to such counterparties not less than the number of Allocated Sponsor Shares forfeited by the Sponsor, in any such case, in accordance with the terms of the Non-Redemption Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including this Section 8.29, in no event shall a Party agree to any terms or provisions relating to any Non-Redemption Transaction, including any make whole rights, grants or transfers of additional equity securities or other similar rights relating thereto, that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in the Transactions not qualifying as an exchange pursuant to Section 351 of the Code (to the extent such Transactions are intended to so qualify) or (B) have other adverse tax consequences relating to the Transactions.

12.

Amendment to Article VIII. The following is added as a new Section 8.30 of the Merger Agreement titled “Post-Closing Payments”:

As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the PubCo board of directors will determine the amount of the net profits generated by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the period from April 1, 2022 through the month end immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Shareholder Payment Period”) based on the financial statements covering the Shareholder Payment Period (such amount as determined by the PubCo board of directors, the “Shareholder Payment”).  Within five (5) Business Days after the PubCo board of directors has determined the Shareholder Payment, PubCo shall make the Shareholder Payment to the Company Shareholder by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that if after making the Shareholder Payment, PubCo would have an amount of cash less than the sum of (i) three million dollars ($3,000,000) plus (ii) the Net Closing Proceeds (such amount of cash, the Minimum Liquidity), the Company shall only pay to the Company Shareholder such portion of the Shareholder

9.2    Where, on the basis of information obtained from a member in respect of any share held by the member or from any other person appearing to be interested in such share, the Company gives a Disclosure Notice to any other person, it shall also send a copy of the notice to that member, but any failure to do so, or the non-receipt of the copy by the member, shall not invalidate or otherwise affect the operation of this Article.

9.3    Except to the extent that they are default shares by virtue of Article 9.1, any new shares in the Company issued in right of any default share shall be subject to the same restrictions in this Article as apply to the default share and for as long as they so apply. The Board may make any right to an allotment of the new shares subject to such restrictions when those shares are issued (and may for that purpose require the new shares to be issued and held in certificated form).

9.4    Where any restrictions imposed under this Article apply in relation to any shares, they shall cease to have effect if and when, and to the extent that, the Board so determines, except that particular shares shall in any event automatically cease to be subject to any such restrictions seven days after the earlier of (a) receipt by the Board of notice that such shares are the subject of an excepted transfer and (b) due compliance, to the satisfaction of the Board, with the relevant Disclosure Notice. If any or all of the restrictions in

B-4

Table of Contents

this Article shall cease to apply to particular shares, any dividends and other monies withheld by reason of a restriction which then ceases to apply shall be paid without interest to the person who would have been entitled to them if that restriction had not applied, or as that person may direct.

9.5    This Article is in addition to, and shall not in any way prejudice or affect, the statutory rights of the Company arising from any failure by any person to give any information required by a Disclosure Notice within the time specified in it. For the purpose of this Article, a Disclosure Notice may require any information to be given before the expiry of 14 days from the date of the notice.

9.6    In this Article:

9.6.1    an “excepted transfer” means

(a)    a transfer pursuant to acceptance of a takeover bid;

(b)    a transfer in consequence of a sale of the entire interest in the shares the subject of the transfer on a recognized investment exchange or on any other stock exchange outside the United Kingdom on which shares in the Company of that description are normally traded; or

(c)    a transfer which is shown to the satisfaction of the Board to be made in consequence of a sale of such an entire interest otherwise than on any such stock exchange to a person who is not connected with the relevant member or with a person appearing to be interested in the shares the subject of the transfer;

9.6.2    a “person appearing to be interested” in any shares means any person named in a response to a Disclosure Notice as being so interested or shown in any register kept by the Company under the Companies Act 2006 as so interested or, taking into account any response or failure to respond to such notice or to any other statutory notice or any other relevant information, any person whom the Company has reasonable cause to believe is so interested; and

9.6.3    references to a person having failed to give the Company the information required by a Disclosure Notice, or being in default as regards supplying such information, include (i) references to the person’s having failed or refused to give all or any part of it and (ii) references to the person’s having given information which the person knows to be false in a material particular or the person’s having recklessly given information which is false in a material particular.

9.7    The Board may require the holder of any share held in uncertificated form to convert such share into certificated form in order to enable the Company to impose restrictions in relation to the share in accordance with this Article.

9.8    For the purposes of this Article:

9.8.1    where any person appearing to be interested in any shares has been served with a Disclosure Notice and such shares are held by a Depositary, the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to apply on to those shares held by the Depositary in which such person appears to be interested and not (so far as that person’s apparent interest is concerned) to any other shares held by the Depositary in which such person does not have an interest and references to default shares shall be construed accordingly; and

9.8.2    where the person on whom a Disclosure Notice has been serviced is a Depositary, the obligations of the Depositary (acting solely in the Depositary’s capacity as such) shall be limited to disclosing to the Company such information relating to any person appearing to be interested in the shares held by it as has been recorded by the Depositary and the provision of such information shall be at the Company’s cost.

10.    REGULATION OF GAMING ACTIVITIES: SUSPENSION OF RIGHTS OF MEMBERS AND MANDATORY SALE OF SHARES

10.1    The Company, if it determines that a Shareholder Regulatory Event has occurred, may in its absolute discretion and at any time, by notice in writing to a holder of any shares in the Company to whom the Shareholder Regulatory Event relates (or to whom the Company reasonably believes it relates) or in whose shares a person is interested to whom the Shareholder Regulatory Event relates

B-5

Table of Contents

(or to whom the Company reasonably believes it relates), suspend with immediate effect (or with effect from such date as the notice may specify) all or some (as the notice specifies) of the following rights attaching to all or some (as the notice specifies) of the shares held by that shareholder:

10.1.1    the right to attend (whether in person or by proxy) and to speak at any general meeting of the Company (or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares) and to vote and to demand a poll exercisable in respect of the shares;

10.1.2    the right to receive any payment (whether by way of dividend or otherwise); and

10.1.3    the right to the issue of further shares or other securities in respect of the shares.

10.2    The Company, if a Shareholder Regulatory Event has occurred, may in its absolute discretion and at any time, by notice in writing (a “Disposal Notice”) to a holder of any shares in the Company to whom the Shareholder Regulatory Event relates (or to whom the Company reasonably believes it relates) or in whose shares a person is interested to whom the Shareholder Regulatory Event relates (or to whom the Company reasonably believes it relates), require the recipient of the notice or any person named therein as interested in (or reasonably believed to be interested in) shares held by the recipient of the notice (an “interested person”) to dispose by sale of all or some (as the notice specifies) of the shares held by the recipient of the notice or the interest held by any interested person named in the notice (as the notice specifies) and for evidence in a form satisfactory to the Company that such disposal shall have been effected to be supplied to the Company within 14 days from the date of such notice or within such other reasonable period as requested by the interested person and as agreed to by the Company (in its reasonable discretion). The Company shall withdraw a notice so given whether before or after the expiration of the period referred to therein if it appears to the Company that the grounds or purported grounds for its service do not exist or no longer exist. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and prior to serving a Disposal Notice, the Board shall cooperate with the Gaming Regulatory Authority regarding the Shareholder Regulatory Event to determine if a Shareholder Regulatory Event has actually occurred. The Company shall exhaust all available reasonable means to prevent a Shareholder Regulatory Event and shall seek all available alternatives in conjunction with the Gaming Regulatory Authority to avoid the Shareholder Regulatory Event prior to issuing a Disposal Notice; provided, further, the Company shall use its best efforts to work with the applicable Gaming Regulatory Authority to minimize the reduction in the interested person’s voting and/or economic interest in the Company (e.g. a decoupling of such interests to the extent possible to maximize the preservation of such interested person’s economic interest in the Company) as a result of the Shareholder Regulatory Event and still allow the Company to move forward with the undertaking subject to the Shareholder Regulatory Event.

10.3    If a Disposal Notice is not complied with, including compliance within the time specified, and has not been withdrawn, the Company shall in its absolute discretion be entitled, so far as it is able, to dispose of the shares specified in the notice at the best price reasonably obtainable in all the circumstances and shall give written notice of any such disposal to those persons on whom the Disposal Notice was served; subject to complying with the Statutes the Company itself may acquire the shares. Any such disposal by the Company shall be completed as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiry of the time specified in the Disposal Notice as may in the opinion of the Company be consistent with achieving the best price reasonably obtainable and in any event within 90 days after the expiry of the time specified in the Disposal Notice, provided that a disposal may be suspended during any period when dealings by the Directors in the Company’s shares are not permitted either by law or by the regulations of the SEC but any disposal so suspended beyond the date 90 days after the expiry of the time specified in the Disposal Notice shall be completed within 30 days after the expiry of the period of such suspension. Neither the Company nor any officer, employee or agent of the Company shall be liable to any holder of or any person having any interest in the shares disposed of or to any other person for failing to obtain the best price reasonably obtainable so long as the Company acts in good faith within the period specified in this Article. For the purpose of effecting any disposal of shares held in uncertificated form which were the subject of a Disposal Notice the Company may make such arrangements on behalf of the registered holder of the shares as it may think fit to transfer title to those shares. For the purpose of effecting any disposal of shares held in certificated form which were the subject of a Disposal Notice the Company may authorize and instruct some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share (and to take such other steps as may be necessary to give effect to the sale or disposal) on behalf of the registered holder(s) and may issue a new share certificate or other document of title to the purchaser and enter the name of the transferee in the register. The net proceeds of such disposal shall be received by the Company whose receipt shall be a good discharge for the purchase money and shall be paid (without any interest being payable thereon) to the former registered holder upon surrender by that person of the share certificate or other document of title in respect of the shares sold and formerly held by that person. The transferee shall not be bound to see the application of such proceeds and after the name of the transferee has been entered in the register in respect of the shares, the validity of the proceedings shall not be questioned. Any delay on the part of the Company in the performance of the provisions of this Article shall not invalidate the transfer of any shares made

B-6

Table of Contents

hereunder or any other process conducted under this Article. Save as otherwise specifically provided by this Article, the manner, timing and terms of any disposal by the Company shall be determined by the Company and the Company may take advice from such persons as are considered by it to be appropriate as to such manner, timing and terms and shall not be liable to any person for the consequences of reliance on such advice.

10.4    For the purposes of this Article 10 a Shareholder Regulatory Event occurs if:

10.4.1    a Gaming Regulatory Authority informs the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings that any member of the Company or any person interested or believed to be interested in shares in the Company is:

10.4.2    a Gaming Regulatory Authority by reason in whole or in part of the interest of any person or persons (direct or indirect) in shares in the Company (or by its belief as to the interest of any person or persons in such shares) has:

(a)    refused or indicated to the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or any other company, partnership or other business entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings is interested that it will or is likely to or may refuse;

(b)    revoked or cancelled or indicated to the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or any other company, partnership or other business entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings is interested that it will or is likely to or may revoke or cancel;

(c)    opposed or indicated to the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or any other company, partnership or other business entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings is interested that it will or is likely to or may oppose; or

(d)    imposed any condition or limitation which may have a material adverse impact upon the operation of any material betting, gaming or lottery activity undertaken or to be undertaken by the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or any other company, partnership or other business entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings is interested, or upon the benefit which the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings derives or is likely to derive from the operation by any of its subsidiary undertakings or any other company, partnership or other business entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings is interested in any betting, gaming or lottery activity, or indicated to the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or any other such company, partnership or other business entity that it will or is likely to or may impose any such condition or limitation, in relation to, the grant, renewal, or the continuance of any registration, license, approval, finding of suitability, consent, or certificate required by any legislation regulating (or code of conduct or practice recognized or endorsed by the Gaming Regulatory Authority relevant to) the operation of any betting, gaming or lottery activity undertaken or to be undertaken by the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or any other company, partnership or other business entity in which the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings is interested, which is held by or has been applied for by the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or other such person.

10.5    Any member whose ownership of or control over the equity share capital of the Company exceeds the applicable reporting threshold set by a Gaming Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any applicable gaming law or regulation governing the Company shall promptly notify the applicable Gaming Regulatory Authority of such fact in accordance with the applicable law.

10.6.1    the Company may, in determining the reason for any action or potential action of a Gaming Regulatory Authority, have regard to any statements or comments made by any officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Gaming Regulatory Authority whether or not such statements or comments form part of or are reflected in any official determination issued by the Gaming Regulatory Authority, and may act notwithstanding any appeal in respect of the decision of any Gaming Regulatory Authority;

10.6.2    a “Gaming Regulatory Authority” means any authority wherever located (whether a government department, independent body established by legislation, a self-regulating organization, court, tribunal, commission, board, committee or otherwise) vested with responsibility (with or without another or others) for the conduct of any betting, gaming or lottery activity;

10.6.3    the Directors shall exercise the powers of the Company under this Article 10; for the avoidance of doubt, any powers, rights or duties conferred by this Article on the Company and exercisable by the Directors can be exercised by a duly authorized committee of the Directors;

10.6.4    any resolution or determination of, or any decision or the exercise of any discretion or power by, the Company or the Directors under this Article shall be final and conclusive and binding on all concerned, and neither the Company nor the Directors shall be obliged to give any reason(s) therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Director has, directly or indirectly, an interest or duty which (together with any interest of a person connected with the Director) is material in a holder to which this Article relates, that Director’s vote shall not be counted on any resolution, determination, decision or exercise of discretion of power by the Company or the Directors and such resolution, determination, decision or exercise of discretion of power by the Company or the Directors may be taken by a majority of the remaining Directors;

10.6.5    “interested” in relation to the Company’s shares shall be construed as it is for the purpose of section 793 of the Companies Act 2006; and

10.6.6    betting, gaming or lottery activity includes (but is not limited to) the manufacture, sale and distribution of equipment or articles used in or for the purposes of any betting, gaming or lottery activity.

10.7    The right of any person to vote at any general meeting of the Company (or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares) or on a poll may be suspended or abrogated as set out in these Articles.

11.    VARIATION OF RIGHTS

11.1    The Company may by special resolution redesignate any shares, subject, where required, to due compliance with the provisions of the Statutes as to variation of class rights.

11.2    In addition, such provisions shall apply to the variation or abrogation of the special rights attached to some only of the shares of any class as if each group of shares of the class differently treated formed a separate class.

12.    MATTERS NOT CONSTITUTING A VARIATION OF RIGHTS

12.1    The rights attached to any share or class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by its terms of issue, be deemed to be varied, abrogated or breached by:

12.1.1    the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with it; or

13.    RIGHT TO CERTIFICATES

13.1    Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, every person whose name is entered in the Register as a holder of shares in the Company shall be entitled, within the time specified by the Statutes and without payment, to one certificate for all the shares of each class registered in the holder’s name. Upon a transfer of part of the shares of any class registered in the holder’s name, every holder shall be entitled without payment to one certificate for the balance in certificated form of the relevant holding. Upon request and upon payment, for every certificate after the first, of such reasonable sum (if any) as the Board may determine, every holder shall be entitled to receive several certificates for certificated shares of one class registered in the holder’s name (subject to surrender for cancellation of any existing certificate representing such shares). Every holder shall be entitled to receive one certificate in substitution for several certificates for certificated shares of one class registered in the holder’s name upon surrender to the Company of all the share certificates representing such shares.

13.2    Subject as provided in the preceding part of this Article, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate in respect of certificated shares registered in the names of two or more persons and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

14.    EXECUTION OF CERTIFICATES

14.1    Every certificate for share or loan capital or other securities of the Company (other than letters of allotment, scrip certificates or similar documents) shall be issued under the Seal (or in such other manner as the Board, having regard to the terms of issue, the Statutes and the requirements of the SEC, may authorize) and each share certificate shall specify the shares to which it relates, the distinguishing number (if any) of the shares and the amount paid up on the shares. The Board may determine, either generally or in relation to any particular case, that any signature on any certificate need not be autographic but may be applied by some mechanical or other means, or printed on the certificate, or that certificates need not be signed.

15.    REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATES

15.1 If a share certificate for certificated shares is worn out, defaced or damaged then, upon its surrender to the Company, it shall be replaced free of charge. If a share certificate for certificated shares is or is alleged to have been lost or destroyed it may be replaced without fee but on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and to payment of any exceptional out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in investigating such evidence and preparing such indemnity as the Board thinks fit. The Company shall be entitled to treat an application for a replacement certificate made by one of joint holders as being made on behalf of all the holders concerned.

16.    UNCERTIFICATED SECURITIES

16.1    Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Company shall not issue and no person shall be entitled to receive a certificate in respect of any share or other security issued by the Company for so long as it is in uncertificated form.

16.2    Conversion of securities in certificated form into uncertificated form, and vice versa, may be made in such manner as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, think fit (subject always to the Statutes).

16.3    All registers of holders relating to securities issued by the Company will be maintained as required by the Statutes and will distinguish between securities held in uncertificated form and securities held in certificated form. Unless the Board shall otherwise determine, holdings of the same holder or joint holders in certificated form shall be treated as separate from the same person or persons’ holdings in uncertificated form, but a class of securities shall not be treated as two classes by virtue only of the fact that it comprises securities in certificated form and securities in uncertificated form (even if, as a result of any provision of these Articles, securities are treated differently according to whether they are in certificated or uncertificated form).

16.4    No certificate will normally be issued in respect of securities held by a financial institution.

16.5    The provisions of these Articles shall not apply to shares of any class which are in uncertificated form to the extent that such Articles are inconsistent with the holding of shares of that class in uncertificated form but notwithstanding this the Board may

B-9

Table of Contents

require the holder of any share held in uncertificated form to convert such share into certificated form in order to enable the Company to deal with the share in accordance with these Articles.

17.    COMPANY’S LIEN

17.1    The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all monies (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that share. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to any amount payable in respect of it.

17.2    The Board may at any time resolve that any share shall be wholly or in part exempt from this Article.

18.    ENFORCING LIEN BY SALE AFTER NOTICE

18.1    The Company may sell, in such manner as the Board determines, any shares on which the Company has a lien if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within 14 clear days after a notice demanding payment has been given to the holder of the share or the relevant transmittee indicating that, if the notice is not complied with, the shares will be sold.

19.    MANNER OF SALE

19.1    To give effect to a sale, the Board may:

19.1.1    in the case of shares held in certificated form, authorize and instruct some person (which may include the holder of shares concerned) to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares sold; and

19.1.2    in the case of shares held in uncertificated form, require the holder of any share held in uncertificated form to convert any such share into certificated form in order to enable the Company to deal with the share in accordance with this Article, and after such conversion authorize and instruct some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share (and to take such other steps as may be necessary to give effect to the sale);

in each case to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser and the transfer will be valid even if in respect of any of the shares no certificate accompanies the instrument of transfer. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money and the transferee’s title to the shares shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale.

20.    APPLICATION OF SALE PROCEEDS

20.1    The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in or towards payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable, and any residue shall (in the case of shares held in certificated form, upon surrender to the Company for cancellation of the certificate for the shares sold and in the case of shares held in uncertificated form, within a reasonable time following receipt by the Company of the net proceeds of sale and subject in each such case to a like lien for any monies not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares immediately before the sale.

21.    CALLS

21.1    Subject to the terms of issue, the Board may from time to time make calls upon the members in respect of any money unpaid on their shares (whether in respect of the nominal amount or by way of premium). Each member shall (subject to receiving at least 14 clear days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) pay to the Company as required by the notice the amount called on the member’s shares. A call may be made payable by instalments. A call may, at any time before receipt by the Company of any sum due under the call, be revoked in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part, as the Board may determine.

21.2    A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for all calls made upon that person notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect of which the call was made.

B-10

Table of Contents

22.    TIME OF CALL

22.1    A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Board authorizing the call was passed.

23.    LIABILITY OF JOINT HOLDERS

23.1    The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of the share.

24.    INTEREST

24.1    If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay all costs, charges and expenses that the Company may have incurred by reason of such non-payment, together with interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until the day it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of issue of the share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at the appropriate rate (as defined by section 609 of the Companies Act 2006) but the Board may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

25.    SUMS DUE ON ALLOTMENT OR BY WAY OF INSTALMENT TREATED AS CALLS

25.1    An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of the nominal amount of the share or by way of premium or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call and, if it is not paid these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

26.    POWER TO DIFFERENTIATE

26.1    Subject to the terms of issue, the Board may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the allottees or holders in the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

27.    ADVANCE PAYMENT OF CALLS

27.1    The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance them all or any part of the monies unpaid and uncalled upon the shares held by the member and may pay interest upon the monies so advanced (to the extent such monies exceed the amount of the calls due and payable upon the shares in respect of which they have been advanced) at such rate (not exceeding 15 per cent. per annum unless the Company by ordinary resolution otherwise directs) as the Board may determine.

27.2    A payment in advance of calls shall extinguish, to the extent of it, the liability upon the shares in respect of which it is advanced.

28.    NOTICE IF CALL NOT PAID

28.1    If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Board may at any time serve a notice on the holder requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as remains unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued thereon and any costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify a further day (not being less than 14 clear days from the date of the notice) on or before which, and the place where the payment required by the notice is to be made and shall indicate that if the notice is not complied with the shares in respect of which the call was made or instalment is payable will be liable to be forfeited.

28.2    The Board may accept the surrender of any share liable to be forfeited and, in such case, references in these Articles to forfeiture shall include surrender.

29.    FORFEITURE IF NOTICE NOT COMPLIED WITH

29.1    If any notice served under the immediately preceding Article (notice if call not paid) is not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice was given may, before payment of all calls or instalments and interest due in respect of it is made, be

B-11

Table of Contents

forfeited by (and with effect from the time of the passing of) a resolution of the Board that such share be forfeited. The forfeiture shall include all dividends declared and other monies payable in respect of the forfeited shares and not paid before the forfeiture.

30.    NOTICE OF FORFEITURE

30.1 When any share has been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be served upon the person who was, before the forfeiture, the holder of the share, but a forfeiture shall not be invalidated by any failure to give such notice. An entry of such notice and an entry of the forfeiture with the date thereof shall forthwith be made in the Register in respect of such share. However, no forfeiture shall be invalidated by any omission to make such entries as aforesaid.

31.    SALE OF FORFEITED SHARE

31.1    Until cancelled in accordance with the Statutes, a forfeited share shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of either to the person who was the holder before the forfeiture or to any other person upon such terms and in such manner as the Board thinks fit. To give effect to a sale or other disposal, the Board may:

31.1.1    in the case of shares held in certificated form, authorize and instruct some person (which may include the holder of shares concerned) to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares; and

31.1.2    in the case of shares held in uncertificated form, require the holder of any share held in uncertificated form to convert any such share into certificated form in order to enable the Company to deal with the share in accordance with this Article, and after such conversion authorize and instruct some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share (and to take such other steps as may be necessary to give effect to the sale or disposal);

to the designated transferee (and the transfer will be valid even if in respect of any of the shares no certificate accompanies the instrument of transfer). The Company may receive any consideration given for the share on its disposal and may register the transferee as holder of the share. At any time before a sale, re-allotment or other disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Board thinks fit.

32.    ARREARS TO BE PAID NOTWITHSTANDING FORFEITURE

32.1    A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares and, in the case of shares held in certificated form, shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the forfeited shares but in all cases shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by the person to the Company in respect of those shares with interest thereon from the date of forfeiture until payment at such rate (not exceeding 15 percent per annum) as the Board may determine.

32.2    The Board may waive payment wholly or in part and the Board may enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture or for any consideration received on their disposal.

33.    STATUTORY DECLARATION AND VALIDITY OF SALE

33.1    A statutory declaration by a Director or the Secretary that a share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. The declaration shall (subject to the completion of any formalities necessary to effect a transfer) constitute a good title to the share and the person to whom the share is disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall be discharged from all calls made prior to such disposition and shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration (if any), nor shall the person’s title to the share be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale, re-allotment or other disposal of the share.

34.    POWER TO SELL SHARES OF UNTRACED SHAREHOLDERS

34.1    The Company shall be entitled to sell at the best price reasonably obtainable any shares of a holder or transmittee if in respect of those shares:

34.1.1    no cheque, warrant or other financial instrument or payment sent by the Company in the manner authorized by these Articles has been cashed for a period of at least 12 years (the “qualifying period”) and in the qualifying period the Company has paid at least three dividends and no dividend has been claimed;

34.1.2    the Company has at the expiration of the qualifying period given notice of its intention to sell such shares by two advertisements, one in a national daily newspaper and the other in a newspaper circulating in the area in which the last known address of the holder or the address at which service of notices may be effected in the manner authorized by these Articles is located;

34.1.3    so far as the Board is aware, the Company has not during the qualifying period or the period of three months after the date of such advertisements (or the later of the two dates if they are published on different dates) and prior to the exercise of the power of sale received any communication from the holder or transmittee,

and where this power has arisen and at the time of its exercise that holder or transmittee holds, or is entitled by transmission to hold, any other shares issued in right of the shares to be sold, this power shall be deemed to have arisen also in relation to those other shares.

35.    MANNER OF SALE AND CREATION OF DEBT IN RESPECT OF NET PROCEEDS

35.1    To give effect to any sale pursuant to the immediately preceding Article, the Board may:

35.1.1    in the case of shares held in certificated form, authorize and instruct some person (which may include the holder of shares concerned) to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares; and

35.1.2    in the case of shares held in uncertificated form, require the holder of any share held in uncertificated form to convert any such share into certificated form in order to enable the Company to deal with the share in accordance with this Article, and after such conversion authorize and instruct some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share (and to take such other steps as may be necessary to give effect to the sale or disposal);

and such instrument of transfer and the taking of such other steps as may be necessary shall be as effective as if they had been executed by the holder or transmittee of the shares. The transfer will be valid even if in respect of any of the shares no certificate accompanies the instrument of transfer. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money and the transferee’s title shall not be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of, the proceedings relating to the sale.

35.2    The net proceeds of sale shall belong to the Company, which shall be indebted to the former holder or transmittee for an amount equal to such proceeds and shall enter the name of such former member or other person in the books of the Company as a creditor for such amount. No trust shall be created in respect of the debt, no interest shall be payable in respect of it and the Company shall not be required to account for any monies earned on the net proceeds, which may be employed in the business of the Company or otherwise invested as the Board thinks fit.

36.    FORM AND EXECUTION OF TRANSFER

36.1    Subject to such of the restrictions of these Articles as may be applicable, a member may transfer all or any of the member’s shares by an instrument of transfer in any usual form or in any other form which the Board may approve. An instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and (unless the share is fully paid) by or on behalf of the transferee. Subject to the Statutes, the transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of it.

36.2    Subject to the Statutes and notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles, the Board shall have power to implement any arrangements it may think fit to enable:

36.2.1    title to any securities of the Company to be evidenced and transferred without a written instrument; and

36.2.2    rights attaching to such securities to be exercised notwithstanding that such securities are held in uncertificated form where, in the Board’s opinion, these Articles do not otherwise allow or provide for such exercise.

37.    RIGHT TO REFUSE REGISTRATION OF SHARES

37.1    Subject to the Statutes, the Board may refuse to register the transfer of a certificated share which is not fully paid or on which the Company has a lien, provided that where any such shares are admitted and listed for trading on the NASDAQ, such discretion may not be exercised in such a way as to prevent dealings in the shares of that class from taking place on an open and proper basis.

38.    OTHER RIGHTS TO REFUSE REGISTRATION

38.1    Subject to the Statutes, the Board may also refuse to register the transfer of a share:

38.1.1    in the case of shares held in certificated form, if it is not lodged, duly stamped (if necessary), at the Office or at such other place as the Board may appoint and accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates (where a certificate has been issued in respect of the shares and these Articles do not provide for such a transfer to be valid without production of the certificate) or such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

38.1.2    if it is not in respect of one class of share only;

38.1.3    if it is not in favor of four or fewer transferees;

38.1.4    if it is in favor of a minor, bankrupt or person of mental ill health; or

38.1.5    where the Board is obliged or entitled to refuse to do so as a result of any failure to comply with a notice under section 793 of the Companies Act 2006.

39.    NOTICE OF REFUSAL

39.1    If the Board refuses to register a transfer it shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged, send to the transferee notice of the refusal together with its reasons for the refusal.

40.    NO FEE FOR REGISTRATION

40.1    No fee shall be charged for the registration of any instrument of transfer or document relating to or affecting the title to any share.

41.    RETENTION OF DOCUMENTS

41.1    Any instrument of transfer which is registered may be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer which the Board refuses to register shall be returned to the person lodging it when notice of the refusal is given.

42.    OTHER REGISTERS

42.1    Subject to the Statutes, the Company may keep an overseas, local or other register in any place, and the Board may make and vary such regulations as it may think fit concerning the keeping of that register.

B-14

Table of Contents

43.    TRANSMISSION

43.1    Where transmission occurs in relation to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member or of any other event giving rise to its transmission by operation of law, the survivor or survivors (in the case of death) where the member was a joint holder, and the transmittee where the member was a sole holder or the only survivor of joint holders, shall be the only person recognized by the Company as having any title to the relevant shares; but nothing contained in this Article shall release the estate of a deceased member from any liability in respect of any share solely or jointly held by the deceased member.

44.    ELECTION BY TRANSMITTEE

44.1    A transmittee may, upon such evidence being produced as the Board may require, elect either to become the holder of the share or to have some person nominated by the transmittee registered as the transferee. If electing to become the holder, the transmittee shall give notice to the Company to that effect. If electing to have another person registered, the transmittee shall effect or procure a transfer of the share in favor of that person. Subject to the Statutes, all the provisions of these Articles relating to the transfer of shares shall apply to the notice or instrument of transfer as if the death or bankruptcy of the member or other event giving rise to the transmission had not occurred and the notice or instrument of transfer was an instrument of transfer executed by the member.

45.    RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF THE SHARE

45.1    A transmittee shall have all the same rights as a holder of the share concerned, except that the transmittee shall not be entitled in respect of the share to attend or vote at any general meeting of the Company or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares in the Company until the transmittee is registered as the holder of the share. The Board may at any time give notice to the transmittee requiring the transmittee to elect either to become the holder of the share or to transfer the share and, if the notice is not complied with within 60 clear days from the date of the notice, the Board may withhold payment of all dividends and other monies payable in respect of the share until the transmittee complies with the notice.

46.    ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

46.1    Where the Company sub-divides its shares, or any of them, into shares of a smaller amount, the resolution may determine that, as between the shares resulting from the sub-division, any of them may have a preference or advantage as compared with others.

46.2    Whenever as a result of a consolidation, division or sub-division of shares any member would become entitled to fractions of a share, the Board may deal with the fractions as it thinks fit and, in particular, may sell the shares representing the fractions to any person (including, subject to the Statutes, the Company) and may distribute the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among those members except for amounts of US$5.00 or less, which shall be retained for the benefit of the Company. To give effect to any such sale, the Board may authorize and instruct a person to take such steps as may be necessary to transfer or deliver the shares to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. Subject to the Statutes, where a shareholder holds shares in both certificated and uncertificated form, the Board may for these purposes treat them as separate holdings, and may at its discretion arrange for any shares representing fractions to be entered in the Register as held in certificated or uncertificated form in order to facilitate their sale under this Article. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money and the transferee’s title shall not be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of, the proceedings relating to the sale.

47.    PURCHASE OF OWN SHARES

47.1    Subject to the Statutes and to any rights conferred on the holders of any class of shares, the Company may not purchase any of its shares unless the purchase has been sanctioned by a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting (or meetings if there is more than one class) of the holders of any shares which entitle the holders to convert them into equity share capital of the Company.

47.2    On a purchase by the Company of its own shares, neither the Company nor the Board shall be required to select the shares to be purchased ratably or in any particular manner as between the holders of shares of the same class or as between them and the holders of shares of any other class or in accordance with the rights as to dividends or capital attached to any class of shares.

48.    CONVENING GENERAL MEETINGS

48.1    The Board may convene a general meeting whenever it thinks fit and shall do so on requisition in accordance with the Statutes. A general meeting may be convened and held in any manner permitted by these Articles.

48.2    The Board can make whatever arrangements it thinks fit to allow those entitled to do so to attend and participate in any general meeting, including by means of an electronic facility, and any reference in these Articles to a member’s or proxy’s attendance in person shall be construed accordingly notwithstanding that they might not be in a place where others are physically attending.

48.3    Where attendance by electronic facility is enabled, the requirement to put any document on display or make it available for inspection will be satisfied if the document is made available for the required period in electronic form to those persons entitled to inspect it.

48.4    Unless the notice of meeting provides, or the chair of the meeting decides, otherwise, a general meeting will be treated as taking place where the chair of the meeting is at the time of the meeting.

49.1.3    as to the member(s) giving the notice and the Member Associated Person, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made:

(f)    to the extent known by the member(s) giving the notice, the name and address of any other member(s) supporting the nominee for election or re-election as a Director or the proposal of other business on the date of such request.

49.2    For the purposes of this Article 49, a “Member Associated Person” of any member shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such member, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares or stock of the Company owned of record or beneficially by such member, and (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Member Associated Person.

49.3    If a request made in accordance with Article 49.1 does not include the information specified in that Article, or if a request made in accordance with Article 49.1 is not received in the time and manner indicated in Article 50, in respect of the shares which the relevant member(s) hold (the “member default shares”) the relevant member(s) shall not be entitled to vote, either personally or by proxy at a general meeting or at a separate meeting of the holders of that class of shares (or at an adjournment of any such meeting), the member default shares with respect to the matters detailed in the request made in accordance with Article 49.1.

50.    TIME FOR RECEIVING MEMBER REQUESTS FOR REQUISITIONED RESOLUTIONS AND GENERAL MEETINGS

50.1    Without prejudice to the rights of any member under the Statutes, a member who makes a request to which Article 49.1 relates must deliver any such request in writing to the Secretary at the Company’s registered office not earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar day nor later than the close of business on the 90th calendar day prior to the date of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of an annual general meeting is more than thirty (30) calendar days before or more than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting, notice by the member must be so delivered in writing not earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to such annual general meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th calendar day prior to such annual general meeting and (ii) the 10th calendar day after the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual general meeting is first made by the Company. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual general meeting or the public announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a member’s notice as described in this Article.

50.2    Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Article 50 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement by the Company naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Company at least 100 calendar days prior to the date of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting, a member’s notice required by this Article 50 shall also be considered as validly delivered in accordance with this Article 50, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Office not later than 5.00 p.m. local time on the 10th calendar day after the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.

50.3    For the purposes of this Article 50, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by Reuters, the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Nothing in Article 49.1 or Article 49.3 or this Article 50 shall be deemed to affect any rights of members to request inclusion of proposals in, nor the right of the Company to omit proposals from, the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act.

51.    LENGTH OF NOTICE PERIOD

51.1    An annual general meeting shall be convened by at least 21 clear days’ notice. Subject to the Statutes, all other general meetings shall be convened by at least 14 clear days’ notice.

52.    OMISSION OR NON-RECEIPT OF NOTICE

52.1    No proceedings at any meeting shall be invalidated by any accidental omission to give notice of the meeting, or to send an instrument of proxy, to any person entitled to receive it or, in the case of notice in electronic form or made available by means of a website, to invite any such person to appoint a proxy, or by reason of any such person not receiving any such notice, instrument or invitation.

53.    CHANGE OF ARRANGEMENTS FOR GENERAL MEETINGS

53.1    If for any reason the Board considers it impractical or undesirable to hold a meeting on the day, at the time or in any place specified for the holding of the meeting, or if the Board decides to change the arrangements for holding the meetings, whether by introducing, varying or cancelling the use of an electronic facility or in any other respect, it can change such date, time, place and arrangements (or whichever it requires), and may do so more than once in relation to the same meeting. There shall be no business of the meeting other than business that would have been transacted had no change been made. References in these Articles to the time of the holding of general meetings shall in the case of a postponed meeting be construed accordingly and any appointment of proxy may be validly received at such later time as is consistent with the altered time. The Board will, insofar as it is practicable, take reasonable steps to ensure that the change is announced on the Company’s website or by a relevant regulatory news service, but it shall not be necessary to restate the business of the meeting in the announcement.

54.    QUORUM

54.1    No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present when the meeting proceeds to business, but the absence of a quorum shall not preclude the choice or appointment of a chair of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by these Articles, two members (or where the Company has only a single member, such member) present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall be a quorum for all purposes.

55.    PROCEDURE IF QUORUM NOT PRESENT

55.1    If within five minutes (or such longer time not exceeding one hour as the chair of the meeting may decide to wait) after the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall (if requisitioned in accordance with the Statutes) be dissolved or (in any other case) stand adjourned to such other day (not being less than ten clear days nor more than 28 days later) and time as may be decided by the chair of the meeting, who shall also decide as to any place or places for the meeting and the means of attending and participating at the adjourned meeting. One member present in person or by proxy (whatever the number of shares held by the member) and entitled to vote shall be a quorum at the adjourned meeting.

55.2    The Company shall give not less than seven clear days’ notice of any meeting adjourned through want of a quorum and the notice shall specify that one member present in person or by proxy (whatever the number of shares held by the member) and entitled to vote shall be a quorum.

56.    CHAIR OF GENERAL MEETING

56.1    The chair (if any) of the Board or, in the chair’s absence, the deputy chair (if any) shall preside as chair at every general meeting. If there is no such chair or deputy chair, or if at any meeting neither the chair nor a deputy chair is present within five minutes after the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting, or if neither of them is willing to act as chair, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside as chair, if willing to act. If the Chief Executive Officer is not present, or if the Chief Executive Officer present declines to take the chair, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to act, or if one Director only is present that Director shall preside as chair, if willing to act. If no Director is present, or if each of the Directors present declines to take the chair, the persons present and entitled to vote shall elect one of their number to be chair.

56.3    The decision of the chair of the meeting as to points of order, matters of procedure or arising incidentally out of the business of a general meeting shall be conclusive, as shall be the chair’s decision, acting in good faith, on whether a point or matter is of this nature.

57.    ATTENDANCE AND SPEAKING AT GENERAL MEETINGS

57.2    A person is able to exercise the right to speak at a general meeting when that person is in a position during the meeting, including by means of an electronic facility, to communicate simultaneously to all those attending the meeting any information or opinions which that person has on the business of the meeting.

57.3    A person is able to exercise the right to vote at a general meeting when:

57.3.1    that person is able, including by means of an electronic facility, to vote during the meeting on resolutions put to the vote at the meeting or, in the case of a poll, within the time specified for the taking of the poll; and

57.3.2    that person’s vote can be taken into account in determining whether or not such resolutions are passed at the same time as the votes of all the other persons attending the meeting.

57.4    All persons seeking to attend and participate in a general meeting by means of an electronic facility are responsible for maintaining adequate facilities to enable them to do so. Subject to the right of the chair to adjourn a general meeting under these Articles, the inability of a person at any time to attend or participate in the whole or any part of a general meeting by means of an electronic facility shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting.

57.5    Each Director shall be entitled to attend and to speak at any general meeting of the Company and at any separate general meeting of the holders of any class of shares or debentures in the Company.

58.    SATELLITE MEETING PLACES

58.1    If the Board so decides, a general meeting or adjourned meeting may be held at a certain place (the “Principal Place”), such as the place at which the chair of the meeting will be present, but with one or more other places made available as satellite meeting places. Members entitled to attend and participate in the meeting who attend any such satellite meeting place in person or by proxy may be counted in the quorum and participate in the general meeting or adjourned meeting as if they were at the Principal Place; and for the purposes of these Articles the meeting shall consist of all those persons entitled to attend and participate in the meeting who attend (including by means of an electronic facility), whether at the Principal Place or any satellite meeting place.

58.2    If not stated in the notice of meeting, the location of any satellite meeting place may be given in a letter accompanying the notice of meeting, but any failure to do this will not invalidate the notice of meeting.

58.3    The meeting will be duly constituted and its proceedings valid if the chair of the meeting is satisfied that facilities are available throughout the meeting to enable all members or proxies attending the meeting by whatever means and at all the meeting places to:

58.3.1    participate in the business for which the meeting has been called;

58.3.2    hear all the people who speak at the meeting and at any satellite meeting place; and

B-19

Table of Contents

58.3.3    be heard by all other people attending and participating in the meeting.

58.4    The Board may make such arrangements as it thinks fit for simultaneous attendance and participation at the meeting, including the use of over-flow rooms, and may vary any such arrangements or make new arrangements. Arrangements may be notified in advance or at the meeting by whatever means the Board thinks appropriate to the circumstances. Each person entitled to attend the meeting will be bound by the arrangements made by the Board.

59.    SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS

59.1    The Board may direct that persons entitled to attend any general meeting should submit to such procedures, including searches, identification vetting, health and safety checks, questions or other security arrangements or restrictions, both before and during the meeting, as the Board shall, in compliance with the Statutes, consider appropriate in the circumstances and the Board may in its absolute discretion refuse entry or access by electronic facility to the meeting to any person who fails to comply with any such procedure. If any person has gained entry or access to a general meeting and refuses to comply with any such procedure or disrupts the proper and orderly conduct of the meeting, the chair of the meeting may at any time without the consent of the meeting require the person to leave or to be removed from the meeting or may, if the person is participating by electronic facility, disconnect the person from the meeting.

60.    ADJOURNMENTS

60.1    The chair of the meeting may at any time without the consent of the meeting adjourn any meeting (whether or not it has commenced or a quorum is present) either indefinitely or to such time as the chair may decide if it appears to the chair that:

60.1.1    any place appointed for the meeting cannot conveniently accommodate the persons entitled to attend;

60.1.2    the conduct of persons present prevents, or is likely to prevent, the orderly continuation of business or the security arrangements for holding the meeting are otherwise compromised or likely to be inadequate;

60.1.3    the outage, inadequacy or unreliability of any electronic facility used for the purposes of the meeting is such that the meeting cannot properly proceed; or

60.1.4    an adjournment is otherwise necessary so that the business of the meeting may be properly conducted

and, if the chair fixes a time for the adjourned meeting the chair shall also decide as to any place or places for the adjourned meeting and the means of attending and participating at the adjourned meeting.

60.2    In addition, the chair of the meeting may at any time with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting either indefinitely or to such time as the chair may decide. When the chair fixes a time for the adjourned meeting the chair shall also decide as to any place or places for the adjourned meeting and the means of attending and participating at the adjourned meeting, but if the meeting is adjourned indefinitely such matters shall be fixed by the Board.

60.3    No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might properly have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment not taken place. Except as expressly provided otherwise, the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply equally to any adjourned meeting.

61.    NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETING

61.1    If a meeting is adjourned indefinitely or for 30 days or more or for lack of a quorum, at least seven clear days’ notice specifying the place, the day and the time of the adjourned meeting shall be given, but it shall not be necessary to specify in the notice the nature of the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting.

62.    METHOD OF VOTING

62.1    For so long as any shares are held in a settlement system operated by a Depositary, any resolution put to the vote of a general meeting must be decided on a poll. This Article 62.1 may only be removed, amended or varied by resolution of the members passed unanimously at a general meeting of the Company.

62.2    Subject always to Article 62.1 and except as otherwise provided by these Articles, at any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands a poll is duly demanded. Subject to the Statutes, a poll may be demanded by:

62.2.1    the chair of the meeting;

62.2.2    at least five members or proxies entitled to vote on the resolution;

62.2.3    any member or proxy alone or together with one or more others representing in aggregate at least one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to attend and vote on the resolution (excluding any voting rights attached to any shares held as treasury shares); or

62.2.4    any member or proxy alone or together with one or more others holding or having been appointed in respect of shares conferring a right to vote on the resolution, being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right (excluding any voting rights attached to any shares held as treasury shares).

62.3 Unless a poll is so demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chair of the meeting that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or not carried by a particular majority or lost and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favor of or against such resolution.

62.4    Where members are present in person or by proxy by means of an electronic facility, all resolutions shall be decided on a poll and without first being put to a show of hands. A poll shall be deemed to have been duly demanded automatically at the time fixed for the meeting and those attending by electronic facility shall cast their votes by such electronic means as the Board shall have approved.

63.    VOTES OF MEMBERS

63.1    Subject to the Statutes, to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares and to any other provisions of these Articles, on a show of hands every member who is present in person shall have one vote and on a poll every member shall have one vote for every share of which the member is the holder.

63.2    If the notice of the meeting has specified a time (which is not more than 48 hours, taking no account of any part of a day that is not a working day, before the time fixed for the meeting) by which a person must be entered on the Register in order to have the right to attend and vote at the meeting, no person registered after that time shall be eligible to attend and vote at the meeting in person or by proxy by right of that registration, even if present at the meeting.

If a demand is withdrawn, it shall not be taken to have invalidated any result of a show of hands declared before the demand was made. If a poll is demanded before the declaration of the result of a show of hands and the demand is duly withdrawn, the chair of the meeting may give whatever directions the chair considers necessary to ensure that the business of the meeting proceeds as it would have if the demand had not been made.

No notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately if the time at which it is to be taken, and any place or places for taking the poll and the manner or means by which it will be taken are announced at the meeting at which it is demanded. In any other case, at least seven clear days’ notice shall be given specifying the time and any place or places for taking the poll and the manner or means by which it will be taken.

In the case of a resolution duly proposed as an ordinary resolution, no amendment to that resolution (other than an amendment to correct an obvious error) may be considered or voted upon unless at least 48 hours prior to the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which such ordinary resolution is to be proposed notice of the terms of the amendment and of the intention to move the amendment has been lodged in writing in hard copy form at the Office or received in electronic form at the electronic address at which the Company has or is deemed to have agreed to receive it, or the chair of the meeting in the chair’s absolute discretion decides in good faith that it may be considered and voted upon.

the objection or error shall not vitiate the decision of the meeting or adjourned meeting on any resolution unless it is raised or pointed out at the meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or at which the error occurs. Any objection or error shall be referred to the chair of the meeting and shall only vitiate the decision of the meeting on any resolution if the chair of the meeting decides that the matter objected to or the error may have affected the decision of the meeting. The decision of the chair of the meeting on such matters shall be conclusive.

provided in each case that the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a copy of such authority certified notarially or in some other way approved by the Board, has been received in hard copy form (or, to the extent the Directors think fit, in electronic form) at the Office, or at such other address or place within the United Kingdom as is specified for the purpose in the notice convening the meeting or in the instrument, no later than the latest time for receipt of the appointment of proxy.

The deposit, delivery or receipt of an appointment of a proxy shall not preclude a member from attending and voting in person at the meeting or poll concerned.

77.    FORM OF APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

77.1    The appointment of a proxy shall be:

77.2    Appointments of proxies may specify how the proxy appointed under them is to vote (or that the proxy is to abstain from voting) on one or more resolutions, but the Company shall not be obliged to ascertain that any proxy has complied with those or any other instructions given by the appointor and no decision on any resolution shall be vitiated by reason only that any proxy has not done so.

77.3    A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to a meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by the member. The appointment of a proxy shall be deemed to include all the relevant member’s rights to attend and speak at the meeting and vote in respect of the share or shares concerned (but so that each proxy appointed by that member may vote on a show of hands notwithstanding that the member would only have had one vote if voting in person, and may demand or join in demanding a poll as if the proxy held the share or shares concerned) and, except to the extent that the appointment comprises instructions to vote in a particular way, to permit the proxy to vote or abstain as the proxy thinks fit on any business properly dealt with at the meeting, including a vote on any amendment of a resolution put to the meeting or on any motion to adjourn.

77.4    On a vote on a resolution on a show of hands at a meeting, every proxy present who has been duly appointed by one or more members entitled to vote on the resolution has one vote, except that if the proxy has been duly appointed by more than one member entitled to vote on the resolution and:

77.4.1    has been instructed by one or more of those members to vote for the resolution and by one or more other of those members to vote against it, or

77.4.2    has been instructed to vote the same way (either for or against) on the resolution by all of those members except those who have given the proxy discretion as to how to vote on the resolution the proxy is entitled to one vote for and one vote against the resolution.

77.5    The appointment shall, unless the contrary is stated in it, be as valid for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates (regardless of any change of date, time or place effected in accordance with these Articles).

78.    VALIDITY OF PROXY

78.1    Subject to the Statutes, a vote given or poll demanded by proxy shall be valid, notwithstanding the previous determination of the proxy’s authority unless notice of such determination was received by the Company at the Office (or at such other place at which the appointment of proxy was duly deposited or, where the appointment of the proxy was in electronic form, at the address at which such appointment was duly received) not later than the last time at which an appointment of proxy should have been deposited, delivered or received in order to be valid for use at the meeting or on the holding of the poll at which the vote was given or the poll demanded.

79.    MAXIMUM VALIDITY OF PROXY

79.1    A valid appointment of proxy shall cease to be valid after the expiration of 12 months from the date of its execution except that it will remain valid after that for the purposes of a poll or an adjourned meeting if the meeting at which the poll was demanded or the adjournment moved was held within the 12-month period.

The inclusion of the word “director” in the designation or title of any such office or employment with the Company shall not imply that the holder of the office is a director of the Company nor shall such holder thereby be empowered in any respect to act as a director of the Company or be deemed to be a director for any of the purposes of the Statutes or these Articles.

102.1.5    shall not be in breach of the Director’s duties by reason only of the fact that the Director is excluded from the receipt of information, or from participation in decision-making or discussion (whether at meetings of the directors or otherwise), that will or may relate to any such office, employment, contract or interest; and

A Director shall be entitled to vote on and be counted in the quorum in respect of any resolution concerning any of the following matters:

102.3.1    the giving to the Director of any guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of money lent or obligations incurred by the Director or by any other person at the request of or for the benefit of, the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings;

102.4    A Director shall not vote on, or be counted in the quorum in relation to, any resolution of the Board concerning the Director’s own appointment, or the settlement or variation of the terms or the termination of the Director’s own appointment, as the holder of any office or place of profit with the Company or any company in which the Company is interested but, where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment, or the settlement or variation of the terms or the termination of the appointment, of two or more Directors to offices or places of profit with the Company or any company in which the Company is interested, a separate resolution may be put in relation to each Director and in that case each of the Directors concerned shall be entitled to vote on and be counted in the quorum in relation to each resolution which does not concern either: (a) the Director’s own appointment or the settlement or variation of the terms or the termination of the Director’s own appointment; or (b) the appointment of another Director to an office or place of profit with a company in which the Company is interested and in which the Director seeking to vote or be counted in the quorum is interested by virtue of owning of one per cent or more (as defined in this Article).

102.5    A company shall be deemed to be a company in which a Director owns one percent or more if and so long as the Director is directly or indirectly the holder of or beneficially interested in one percent or more of any class of the equity share capital of such company or of the voting rights available to members of such company. For this purpose, there shall be disregarded any shares held by a Director as bare or custodian trustee and in which the Director has no beneficial interest, any shares comprised in a trust in which the Director’s interest is in reversion or remainder (if and so long as some other person is entitled to receive the income from such trust) and any shares comprised in an authorized unit trust scheme in which the Director is interested only as a unit holder.

102.6    Where a company in which a Director owns one percent or more is materially interested in a contract, the Director shall also be deemed to be materially interested in that contract.

102.7    For the purposes of this Article, an interest of a person who is, for any purpose of the Statutes, connected with a Director shall be treated as an interest of the Director and, in relation to an alternate Director, an interest of the relevant appointor shall be treated as an interest of the alternate Director without prejudice to any interest which the alternate Director has otherwise.

If any question shall arise in respect of the chair of the meeting, the question shall be decided by resolution of the Board (for which purpose the chair shall be counted in the quorum but shall not vote on the matter) and the resolution shall be conclusive except in a case where the nature or extent of the interest (so far as it is known to the chair) has not been fairly disclosed to the Board.

103.3.1    the Board may (whether at the time of giving the authority or at any time or times subsequently) impose such terms upon the Director concerned as it may determine, including the exclusion of that Director from the receipt of information, or participation in any decision-making or discussion (whether at meetings of the Board or otherwise) related to the conflict;

The Board or any committee authorized by the Board may procure any of these matters to be done by the Company either alone or in conjunction with any other person.

116.6    Subject to the Statutes, the Secretary shall be appointed by the Board at such remuneration and upon such terms as it thinks fit. If thought fit, two or more persons may be appointed as joint Secretaries with the power to act jointly and severally. Any Secretary so appointed may be removed by the Board.

116.7    The Board may from time to time appoint an assistant or deputy secretary who, during such time as there may be no Secretary or no Secretary capable of acting, may act as Secretary and do any act authorized or required by these Articles or by law to be done by the Secretary. The signature of any document as Secretary by such assistant or deputy secretary shall be conclusive evidence (without invalidating that signature for any purpose) that at the time of signature there was no Secretary or no Secretary capable of acting.

117.    USE OF SEAL

117.1    The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Board or of a committee authorized by the Board in that behalf and, unless otherwise decided by the Board or any such committee, any document to which the Seal is applied must also be signed by at least one authorized person in the presence of a witness who attests the signature.

118.    COMPANY MAY DECLARE DIVIDENDS

118.1 Subject to the Statutes, the Company may by ordinary resolution declare dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the members, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Board. Subject to the Statutes, any determination by the Board of the amount of profits at any time available for distribution shall be conclusive.

119.    BOARD MAY PAY INTERIM DIVIDENDS AND FIXED DIVIDENDS

119.1 Subject to the Statutes, the Board may pay interim dividends if it appears to the Board that they are justified by the financial position of the Company. If the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes, the Board may pay interim dividends on shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights to dividends as well as on shares which confer preferential or special rights to dividends, but no interim dividend shall be paid on shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears. The Board may also pay at intervals settled by it any dividend payable at a fixed date if it appears to the Board that the financial position of the Company justifies the payment. If the Board acts in good faith, it shall not incur any liability to the holders of shares conferring preferred rights for any loss which they may suffer by reason of the lawful payment of an interim dividend on any shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.

120.    CALCULATION AND CURRENCY OF DIVIDENDS

120.1    Except in so far as the rights attaching to any share otherwise provide:

120.1.1    all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares on which the dividend is paid, but (for the purposes of this Article only) no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall be treated as paid up on the share;

120.1.2    all dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but, if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividend accordingly; and

120.1.3    any dividends or other monies payable on or in respect of any share may be declared in any currency or currencies, and paid in the same currency or currencies or in any other currency or currencies, and subject to such charges to cover the costs of conversion, as the Board may determine, using where required such basis of conversion (including the rate and timing of conversion) as the Board decides.

121.    WAIVER OF DIVIDENDS

121.1    The waiver in whole or in part of any dividend on any share by any document (whether or not under seal) shall be effective only if such document is signed by the relevant member or transmittee and delivered to the Company and if or to the extent that it is accepted as such or acted upon by the Company.

122.    NON-CASH DIVIDENDS

122.1    A general meeting declaring a dividend may, upon the recommendation of the Board, by ordinary resolution direct that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets and, in particular, of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company and, where any difficulty arises concerning such distribution, the Board may settle it as the Board thinks expedient and in particular may issue fractional certificates or, subject to the Statutes, authorize and instruct any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may ignore fractions altogether, and may fix the value for distribution of any assets and may determine that cash shall be paid to any member upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to secure equality of distribution and may vest any assets to be distributed in trustees as the Board may consider expedient.

123.    SCRIP DIVIDENDS

123.1    Subject to the Statutes, the Board may, if authorized by an ordinary resolution of the Company, offer the holders of ordinary shares the right to elect to receive new ordinary shares, credited as fully paid, instead of cash for all or part (as determined by the Board) of any dividend. The following provisions shall apply:

123.1.1    an ordinary resolution may specify a particular dividend or dividends, or may specify all or any dividends, declared or paid within a specified period, but such period may not end later than the third anniversary of the date of the meeting at which the ordinary resolution is passed;

123.1.2    the basis of allotment to each entitled holder of ordinary shares shall be such number of new ordinary shares credited as fully paid as have a value as nearly as possible equal to (but not greater than) the amount of the dividend (disregarding any tax credit) which the holder has elected to forgo. For this purpose, the “value” of an ordinary share shall be deemed to be whichever is the greater of its nominal value and the average of the middle market quotations for the Company’s ordinary shares on the NASDAQ as derived from such source as the Board may deem appropriate on the day on which the shares are first quoted “ex” the relevant dividend and the four subsequent dealing days or in such other manner as may be determined by or in accordance with the ordinary resolution. A certificate or report by the Auditors as to the amount of the value in respect of any dividend shall be conclusive evidence of that amount;

123.1.3    no fraction of an ordinary share shall be allotted and if any holder of ordinary shares would otherwise be entitled to fractions of a share, the Board may deal with the fractions as it thinks fit, including determining that the whole or part of the benefit of fractional entitlements will be disregarded or accrue to the Company or that the value of fractional entitlements will be accumulated on behalf of a member (without entitlement to interest) and applied in paying up new shares in connection with a subsequent offer by the Company of the right to receive shares instead of cash in respect of a future dividend;

123.1.4    the Board shall not proceed with any election unless the Company has sufficient reserves or funds which may be capitalized to give effect to the election following the Board’s determination of the basis of allotment;

123.1.5    on or as soon as practicable after announcing that the Board is to recommend or pay any dividend, the Board, if it intends to offer an election for that dividend, shall also announce that intention and, having determined the basis of allotment, shall notify the entitled holders of ordinary shares (other than any in relation to whom an election mandate in accordance with this Article is subsisting) of the right of election offered to them, and shall send with, or following, such notification, forms of election and shall specify the procedure to be followed and place at which, and the latest date and time by which, duly completed forms of election must be received in order to be effective;

123.1.6    the dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of which a right of election has been offered) shall not be payable on ordinary shares in respect of which an election has been duly made (the “elected shares”) and instead additional ordinary shares shall be allotted to the holders of the elected shares on the basis of allotment so determined. For such purpose, the Board shall capitalize, out of any amount standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (including the profit and loss account), whether or not it is available for distribution, as the Board may determine, a sum equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the additional ordinary shares to be allotted on that basis and apply it in paying up in full the appropriate number of ordinary shares for allotment and distribution to the holders of the elected shares on that basis;

123.1.7    the additional ordinary shares so allotted shall be allotted as of the record date for the dividend for which the right of election has been offered and shall rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid ordinary shares then in issue except that they will not rank for the dividend or other distribution entitlement in respect of which they have been issued. Unless the Board otherwise determines, the ordinary shares so allotted shall be issued as shares in certificated form (where the ordinary shares in respect of which they have been allotted were in certificated form at the Scrip Record Time) or as shares in uncertificated form (where the ordinary shares in respect of which they have been allotted were in uncertificated form at the Scrip Record Time), provided that if the Company is unable to issue ordinary shares in uncertificated form to any person, such shares shall be issued as shares in certificated form. For these purposes, the “Scrip Record Time” means such time on the record date for determining the entitlements of members to make elections as described in this Article, or on such other date as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine.

B-41

Table of Contents

123.2    The Board may establish or vary a procedure for election mandates whereby a holder of ordinary shares may elect concerning future rights of election offered to that holder under this Article until the election mandate is revoked following that procedure.

123.3    The Board may exclude from any offer any holders of ordinary shares if it believes that it is necessary or expedient to do so in relation to any legal or practical problems under the laws of, or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange or other authority in, any territory or that for any other reason the offer should not be made to them.

124.    ENHANCED SCRIP DIVIDENDS

124.1    Subject to the Statutes and without prejudice to the generality of Article 123, the Board may, in respect of any cash dividend or other distribution (or any part thereof) declared or payable in relation to any financial year or period of the Company, offer to each holder of ordinary shares the right to elect to receive new ordinary shares, credited as fully paid, in respect of the whole or part of the ordinary shares held by them instead of such cash dividend, on any basis described in that Article but so that the entitlement of each holder of ordinary shares to such new ordinary shares shall be determined by the Board such that the value (determined on the basis decided on by the Board) of the new ordinary shares concerned may exceed the cash amount that such holders of ordinary shares would otherwise have received by way of dividend and, in respect of such offer, that Article shall take effect subject to this Article. Any offer made under this Article shall be an alternative to any offer made under that Article in respect of a particular cash dividend (but shall form part of any plan which is in operation thereunder).

124.2    Any exercise by the Board of the powers granted to the Board by this Article shall be subject to a special resolution approving the exercise of such powers in respect of the dividend in question or in respect of any dividends or other distributions declared or payable in respect of a specified financial year or period of the Company which include the dividend in question, but such year or period may not end later than the conclusion of the annual general meeting next following the date of the meeting at which such resolution is passed. No further sanction shall be required under Article 123 in respect of an exercise of powers by the Board under this Article and any authority granted under this Article shall not preclude the granting to the Board of a separate authority under that Article.

125.    RIGHT TO DEDUCT AMOUNTS DUE ON SHARES FROM DIVIDENDS

125.1    The Board may deduct from any dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share to a member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by the member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in respect of shares of the Company.

126.    NO INTEREST ON DIVIDENDS

126.1    No dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share shall bear interest against the Company unless otherwise provided by the rights attached to the share.

127.    PAYMENT PROCEDURE

127.1    All dividends and interest shall belong and be paid (subject to any lien of the Company) to those entitled members whose names shall be on the Register at the date at which such dividend shall be declared or at the date on which such interest shall be payable respectively, or at such other date as the Company by ordinary resolution or the Board may determine notwithstanding any subsequent transfer or transmission of shares.

127.2    The Company may pay any dividend, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of shares by direct debit, bank transfer, cheque, dividend warrant, money order or by any other method (including by electronic means) as the Board may consider appropriate.

127.3    Every such cheque, warrant or order shall be made payable to the person to whom it is sent, or to such other person as the holder or the joint holders may in writing direct, and may be sent by post or equivalent means of delivery directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the joint holder whose name stands first in the Register, or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct.

B-42

Table of Contents

127.4    Every such payment made by direct debit or bank transfer shall be made to the holder or joint holders or to or through such other person as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct.

127.5    The Company shall not be responsible for any loss of any such cheque, warrant or order and any payment made in any manner permitted by these Articles shall be at the sole risk of the holder or joint holders. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, if any such cheque, warrant or order has been, or is alleged to have been, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Board may, on request of the person entitled thereto, issue a replacement cheque, warrant or order subject to compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out of pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Board may think fit.

127.6    The issue of such cheque, warrant or order or the collection of funds from or transfer of funds by a bank in accordance with such direct debit or bank transfer shall be a good discharge to the Company.

128.    RECEIPT BY JOINT HOLDERS

128.1    If several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any one of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend or other monies payable in respect of the share.

129.    WHERE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS NEED NOT BE MADE

129.1    The Company may cease to send any cheque or warrant through the post or to effect payment by any other means for any dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share which is normally paid in that manner on that share if in respect of at least two consecutive dividends payable on that share payment, through no fault of the Company, has not been effected (or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish any new address of the holder) but, subject to these Articles, the Company shall recommence payments in respect of dividends or other monies payable on that share by that means if the holder or transmittee claims the arrears of dividend and does not instruct the Company to pay future dividends in some other way.

130.    UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS

130.1    All dividends, interest or other sums payable unclaimed for one year after having become due for payment may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed. The retention by the Company of, or payment into a separate account of, any unclaimed dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect of it. Any dividend, interest or other sum unclaimed after a period of 12 years from the date when it became due for payment shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

131.    CAPITALIZATION OF PROFITS

131.1    Upon the recommendation of the Board, the Company may pass an ordinary resolution to the effect that it is desirable to capitalize all or any part of any undivided profits of the Company not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not they are available for distribution) or all or any part of any sum standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (whether or not available for distribution).

131.2    Subject as provided below, the Board may appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalized to the members who would have been entitled to it if it were distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions and apply such sum on their behalf either in or towards paying up the amounts, if any, for the time being unpaid on any shares held by them respectively, or (subject to approval by ordinary resolution and to any subsisting special rights previously conferred on any shares or class of shares) in paying up in full shares of any class or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to that sum, and allot the shares or debentures credited as fully paid to those members, or as they may direct, in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other provided that:

131.2.1    the Company shall for the purposes of this Article be deemed to be such a member in relation to any shares held as treasury shares which, if not so held, would have ranked for any such distribution by way of dividend, but only insofar as the appropriated sum is to be applied in paying up in full shares of the Company; and

B-43

Table of Contents

131.2.2    the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve, and any reserve or fund representing profits which are not available for distribution may only be applied in paying up in full shares of the Company.

131.3    The Board may authorize any person to enter on behalf of all the members concerned into an agreement with the Company providing for the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid, of any shares or debentures to which they are entitled upon such capitalization and any matters incidental thereto, any agreement made under such authority being binding on all such members.

131.4    If any difficulty arises concerning any distribution of any capitalized reserve or fund, the Board may, subject to the Statutes, settle it as the Board considers expedient and in particular may issue fractional certificates, authorize any person to sell and transfer any fractions or resolve that the distribution should be made as nearly as practicable in the correct proportion or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any members in order to adjust the rights of all parties as the Board considers expedient.

131.5    Where, pursuant to an employees’ share scheme, the Company has granted options to subscribe for shares on terms which provide (inter alia) for adjustments to the subscription price payable on the exercise of such options or to the number of shares to be allotted upon such exercise in the event of any increase or reduction in, or other reorganization of, the Company’s issued share capital and an otherwise appropriate adjustment would result in the subscription price for any share being less than its nominal value, then, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Statutes, the Board may, on the exercise of any of the options concerned and payment of the subscription which would have applied had such adjustment been made, capitalize any such profits or other sum as is mentioned in Article 131.1 to the extent necessary to pay up the unpaid balance of the nominal value of the shares which fall to be allotted on the exercise of such options and apply such amount in paying up such balance and allot shares fully paid accordingly. The other provisions of this Article 131 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any such capitalization except that the authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company shall not be required.

132.    AUTHENTICATION OF DOCUMENTS

132.1    Any Director or the Secretary or any person appointed by the Board for the purpose shall have power to authenticate any documents or other information affecting these Articles and any resolutions passed by the Company or the Board or any committee and any books, records, accounts, documents and other communications relating to the business of the Company and to certify copies or extracts as true copies or extracts. Anything purporting to be a copy of a resolution, or an extract from the minutes of a meeting, of the Company, the Board or any committee which is certified as such in accordance with this Article shall be conclusive evidence in favor of all persons dealing with the Company upon the faith of such copy that such resolution has been duly passed or, as the case may be, that such minute or extract is a true and accurate record of proceedings at a duly constituted meeting.

133.    POWER TO CHOOSE RECORD DATE

133.1    Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, the Company or the Board may fix any date as the record date for any dividend, distribution, allotment or issue and such record date may be on or at any time before or after any date on which the dividend, distribution, allotment or issue is declared, paid or made.

134.    STRATEGIC REPORT

134.1    The Company may send or supply copies of its strategic report (with prescribed supplemental material) to the members, debenture holders and Auditors in place of its annual accounts and reports.

135.    INSPECTION OF RECORDS

135.1    No member in the capacity of member shall have any right of inspecting any record, book or document of any description belonging to the Company except as conferred by the Statutes or authorized by the Board or by ordinary resolution of the Company.

137.2    Except insofar as the Statutes require otherwise, the Company shall not be obliged to accept any notice, document or other information sent or supplied to the Company in electronic form unless it satisfies such stipulations, conditions or restrictions (including for the purpose of authentication) as the Board thinks fit, and the Company shall be entitled to require any such notice, document or information to be sent or supplied in hard copy form instead.

137.3    Any notice, document or other communication (including copies of accounts or summary financial statements) to be given to or by any person pursuant to these Articles (other than a notice calling a meeting of Directors) shall be in writing except that, if it is in electronic form, it need not be in writing unless these Articles specifically require it to be.

137.4    Subject to the Statutes, the Board may from time to time issue, endorse or adopt terms and conditions relating to the use of electronic means under these Articles.

139.2    Unless agreed otherwise with the relevant transmittee, the Company may send or supply any notice, document or other information to a transmittee in any manner in which it might have been sent or supplied to the member from whom the transmittee derives title to the relevant share, and as if the transmittee’s address were the same as the member’s address in the Register or the electronic address (if any) specified by the member; but the Company shall not be entitled to assume that the address or electronic address is correct if sending notice to the transmittee under section 793 of the Companies Act 2006.

140.1    Any notice, document or other information:

140.1.1    if sent by the Company by post or other delivery service shall be deemed to have been received:

141.    RECORD DATE FOR COMMUNICATIONS

141.1    Any notice, document or information may be sent or supplied by the Company by reference to the Register as it stands at any time not more than 21 days before the day it was sent or supplied. No change in the Register after that time shall invalidate the delivery of that notice, document or information, and every transmittee or other person not on the Register in relation to a particular share at that time who derives any title or interest in the share shall be bound by the notice, document or information without the Company being obliged to send or supply it to that person.

142.    LOSS OF ENTITLEMENT TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS

142.1    If on two consecutive occasions notices, documents or information have been sent to any member at the registered address or the member’s address (including an electronic address) for the service of notices but, through no fault of the Company, have been undelivered, such member shall not from then on be entitled to receive notices, documents or other information from the Company until the member has notified to the Company in writing a new address to be either the member’s registered address or the member’s address (including an electronic address) for the service of notices.

143.    NOTICE WHEN POST NOT AVAILABLE

143.1    If at any time postal services within the United Kingdom are suspended or curtailed so that the Company is unable effectively to convene a general meeting or a meeting of the holders of any class of shares in its capital by notice sent through the post, the Board may decide that the only members to whom notice of the meeting must be sent are those to whom notice to convene the meeting can validly be sent by electronic means and those to whom notification as to the availability of the notice of meeting on a website can validly be sent by electronic means. In any such case the Company shall also advertise the meeting by public announcement and in at least two national daily newspapers published in the United Kingdom. If at least six clear days prior to the meeting the giving of notices by post to addresses throughout the United Kingdom has, in the Board’s opinion, become practicable, the Company shall send confirmatory copies of the notice by post or such other manner as is permitted under these Articles to the persons entitled to receive them when postal services are running normally.

143.2    At any time that postal services within the United Kingdom are suspended or curtailed, any other notice or information considered by the Board to be capable of being supplied by advertisement shall, if advertised by public announcement and in at least one such newspaper, be deemed to have been notified to all members and transmittees to whom it would otherwise have been supplied in hard copy form.

The liquidator may, with such sanction, vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of members as the liquidator with such sanction determines, but no member shall be compelled to accept any assets upon which there is a liability.

145.    INDEMNITY AND PROVISION OF FUNDS

If it fails to do so within ten (10) Business Days any other Party shall be entitled by notice to the other Parties to appoint a replacement agent for service of process.

(d)    Rules of Construction.    Each of the Parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each Party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereunder,” and “hereto” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or subsection of this Agreement and reference to a particular section of this Agreement will include all subsections thereof, unless, in each case, the context otherwise requires. The definitions of the terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context shall require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. Unless otherwise indicated the words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” References to Sections and Exhibits are to sections of, and exhibits to, this Agreement. The Exhibits form part of this Agreement. Any reference to “writing” or “written” means any method of reproducing words in a legible and non-transitory form. References to a “company” include any company, corporation or other body corporate wherever and however incorporated or established. The table of contents and headings are inserted for convenience only and do not affect the construction of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and vice versa and a reference to any gender includes all other genders. References to any statute or statutory provision include a reference to that statute or statutory provision as amended, consolidated or replaced from time to time (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) and include any subordinate legislation made under the relevant statute or statutory provision.

(e)    Third Party Rights.    This Agreement is made for the benefit of the Parties and the Permitted Transferees (and their respective successors and permitted assigns) and is not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies.

(f)    Severance and Validity.    If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, it shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement. The remaining provisions will remain in full force in that jurisdiction and all provisions will continue in full force in any other jurisdiction.

(g)    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and shall be effective when each Party has executed and delivered a counterpart. Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this Agreement, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

c-11

Table of Contents

(h)    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements and representations by or among the Parties to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

(i)    Modifications and Amendments.    This Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived (i) except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is sought and (ii) without the prior written consent of PubCo, the Sponsor and the Company Shareholder.

(j)    Assignment.    Except for transfers permitted by Article IV, neither this Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to the Parties may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties. Any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(k)    No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies.    No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such Party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a Party, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such Party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a Party shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such Party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a Party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the Party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

(l)    Remedies.

(i)    The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Agreement was not performed and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy, in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9.01(o) this being in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The Parties further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 9.01(l) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason, and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(ii)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 9.01(l) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

(iii)    In any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the applicable adjudicating body shall award to the prevailing Party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with the dispute and the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby and, if the adjudicating body determines a Party to be the prevailing Party under circumstances where the prevailing Party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the adjudicating body may award the prevailing Party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with the adjudication and the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby or thereby.

(m)    No Ownership Interest.    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in PubCo any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Covered Shares.

c-12

(o)    Governing Law and Jurisdiction.    This Agreement, including any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law. The Parties agree that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) and, for such purposes, irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

(p)    No Recourse.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, but without limiting any provision in the Merger Agreement or any other transaction document, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may only be made against the entities and Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement in their capacities as such and no former, current or future shareholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or affiliates of any Party, or any former, current or future direct or indirect shareholder, equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Parties, in no event shall any Party or any of its affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party.

(iv)    against any material change in the business of SPAC or any change in the management or board of directors of SPAC (other than, in each case, pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements and the Transactions); and

(v)    against any proposal, action or agreement that would or would reasonably be expected to (a) impede, frustrate, hinder, interfere with, prevent or nullify the timely consummation of, or otherwise adversely affect, any of the Transactions, (b) result in a breach in any material respect (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “SPAC Material Adverse Effect” or any similar limitation contain therein), or, in the case of the Fundamental Representations of SPAC, in any respect, of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of SPAC under the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, (c) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (d) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital stock of, SPAC.

In furtherance of, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, the Sponsor hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to redeem any SPAC Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The obligations of the Sponsor hereunder shall apply whether or not the SPAC board of directors or other governing body or any committee, subcommittee or subgroup thereof recommends any of the SPAC Transaction Proposals and whether or not the SPAC board of directors or other governing body or any committee, subcommittee or subgroup thereof changes, withdraws, withholds, qualifies or modifies, or publicly proposes to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the SPAC board of directors’ recommendation to its stockholders.

Section 1.5    No Inconsistent Agreement.    The Sponsor hereby represents and covenants that the Sponsor has not entered into, and will not enter into, any Contract that would, and will not modify or amend any Contract in a manner that would, restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Sponsor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 1.6    Non-Solicitation.    From the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the Closing or (ii) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.1, the Sponsor will not, and the Sponsor will direct its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, enter into or continue discussions, negotiations or transactions with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or provide any information to, any Person with respect to a Company Competing Transaction (other than to inform such Person of the Sponsor’s obligations pursuant to this Section 1.6 with respect to SPAC), (b) enter into any acquisition agreement, business combination agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement, or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle, or any other agreement regarding, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or

D-2

negotiations regarding, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Competing Transaction, or (c) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding a Company Competing Transaction.

Section 1.7    Waiver of Anti-Dilution Provision.    Subject to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger, the Sponsor, as the holder of a majority of the SPAC Class B Shares outstanding as of the date hereof, hereby waives (for itself, for its successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by law and the third amended and restated certificate of incorporation of SPAC (as may be amended from time to time, the “Charter”), the provisions of Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Charter to have the SPAC Class B Shares convert to SPAC Class A Shares at a ratio of greater than one-for-one. The waiver specified in this Section 1.7 shall be applicable only in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement (and any shares of SPAC Class A Shares or equity-linked securities issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement) and shall be void and of no force and effect if the Merger Agreement shall be terminated for any reason.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1    Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor.    The Sponsor represents and warrants as of the date hereof to SPAC and the Company as follows:

(a)    Organization; Due Authorization.    The Sponsor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Sponsor’s limited liability company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational actions on the part of the Sponsor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Sponsor, enforceable against the Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy laws, other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies).

(b)    Ownership.    As of the date hereof, the Sponsor is the sole holder of record and beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of, and has good title to, and sole voting power with respect to, the number of shares of SPAC Class B Shares and the number of SPAC Sponsor Warrants set forth opposite the Sponsor’s name in the columns titled “SPAC Class B Shares” and “SPAC Sponsor Warrants,” respectively, in Schedule I hereto (such SPAC Class B Shares and such SPAC Warrants, collectively, the Sponsor’s “Owned Securities”), and there exists no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such SPAC Class B Shares or SPAC Warrants), other than pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Letter Agreement, dated September 29, 2021, by and among the Sponsor, certain members of the Sponsor’s board of directors and/or management team party thereto and SPAC (the “Insider Letter”), (iii) the Organizational Documents of SPAC, (iv) the Merger Agreement or (v) applicable securities laws. The Sponsor’s Owned Securities are the only equity securities in SPAC owned of record or beneficially by the Sponsor as of the date of this Agreement, and none of the Sponsor’s Subject Securities are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Securities, except as provided hereunder and under the Insider Letter.

(c)    No Conflicts.    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sponsor does not, and the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the Organizational Documents of the Sponsor or (ii) require any consent, waiver, filing, notification, registration or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon the Sponsor or the Subject Securities).

(d)    Litigation.    There is no Legal Proceeding pending against the Sponsor before any arbitrator or any Governmental Entity, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)    Brokerage Fees.    Except as disclosed in Section 5.22 of the Merger Agreement, no financial advisor, investment banker, broker or finder is entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the Merger Agreement or the Closing, in each case, based upon any agreement or arrangement made by, or, to the knowledge of the Sponsor, on behalf of, the Sponsor for which SPAC, the Company Shareholder, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries would have any obligation.

ARTICLE III 
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.1    Termination.    This Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (a) the Expiration Time and (b) the execution and delivery of a written agreement providing for the termination of this Agreement executed by the Sponsor, SPAC and the Company. Upon such termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any Party to any Person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Party shall have any claim against another (and no person shall have any rights against such Party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve or release a Party from any obligations or liabilities arising out of such Party’s Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination or intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.2    Assignment.    This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the Parties. Any purported assignment or delegation not permitted under this Section 3.2 shall be null and void.

Section 3.3    Specific Performance.    The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chancery Court or any other state or federal court within the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) there is adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 3.4    Amendment.    This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement providing therefor executed by the Sponsor, SPAC and the Company.

Section 3.5    Waiver.    No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available to the Parties. No waiver of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall be valid unless it is set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by the Party to be charged with such waiver.

Section 3.6    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.    Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person, other than the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, any right or remedy under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 3.7    Notices.    All notices and other communications among the Parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (c) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery

E-5

Table of Contents

Commission is closed for business, the relevant deadlines shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business; provided, however, that if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, such deadlines shall be extended by the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be on Form F-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form F-1”) covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit the Holders to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. As soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1, but in any event within three (3) Business Days of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders named therein of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1 (including any documents incorporated therein by reference, if any) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made). The Company’s obligations under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

2.1.2Obligation to Keep Effective. The Company shall maintain the Form F-1 filed pursuant to Section 2.1.1 in accordance with the terms thereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep the Form F-1 continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein, and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as all such Registrable Securities included therein have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

2.1.3Subsequent Registration Statement. If the Form F-1 ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, cause such Form F-1 to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Form F-1), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, amend such Form F-1 in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Form F-1 or file an additional Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as all such Registrable Securities included therein have ceased to be Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Registration Statement shall be on Form F-3 or any similar short-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form F-3”) to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.3, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

2.1.4Conversion to Form F-3. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert a Form F-1 into a Form F-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form F-3. The Company’s obligations under this subsection 2.1.4, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

2.2Demand Registration.

2.2.1 Request for Registration.

In addition, no person may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (a) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreement or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Deferrals.

3.4.1Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. Subject to subsection 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration (including in connection with an Underwritten Offering) at any time (i) would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (ii) would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes, as a result, that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, or (iv) if the majority of the Board, in its good faith judgment, determines to delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, a Registration Statement and such delay or suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with Commission Guidance or related accounting, disclosure or other matters, then the Company shall have the right, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement (including in connection with an Underwritten Offering) for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holders receive written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

3.4.2 Subject to subsection 3.4.4, (a) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to employ its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.2.3, any Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering, and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such Underwritten Offering, the Company may, upon giving written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to subsection 2.2.3 or Section 2.5.

3.4.3The Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) consecutive days and any Piggyback Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of the Registration Statement to which the Piggyback Registration relates, in each case if the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or principal financial officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed at such time.

3.4.4The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to subsection 3.4.2 or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, on not more than three (3) occasions for not more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days on each occasion, or not more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days, each in any 12-month period.

3.5Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings (the delivery of which will be satisfied and which shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered by the Company’s filing of such reports on EDGAR). The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Ordinary Shares held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect), including providing any legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent in connection therewith. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

3.6Restrictive Legend Removal. In connection with a registration pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3, upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall (i) authorize the Company’s transfer agent to remove any legend on share certificates of such Holder’s Registrable Securities restricting further transfer (or any similar restriction in book entry positions of such Holder), and cause the Company’s counsel to issue an opinion to the Company’s transfer agent in connection therewith, if such restrictions are no longer required by the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or any agreement with the Company to which such Holder is a party, including if such shares subject to such a restriction have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, (ii) request the Company’s transfer agent to issue in lieu thereof securities without such restrictions to the Holder upon, as applicable, surrender of any certificates or to update the applicable book entry position of such Holder so that it no longer is subject to such a restriction, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Holder to have such Holder’s Registrable Securities transferred into a book entry position at The Depository Trust Company, in each case, subject to delivery of customer documentation, including any documentation required by such restrictive legend or book entry notation.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1Indemnification.

4.1.1The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in light of the circumstances in which they were made), except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.

4.1.2In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained, or incorporated by reference in accordance with the requirements of Form F-1 or Form F-3, in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in light of the circumstances in which they were made), but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriter(s), its or their officers, directors

E-15

Table of Contents

and each person who controls such Underwriter(s) (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, that (x) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps to defend diligently the action or proceeding within twenty (20) days after receiving notice from the indemnified party, (y) if such indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding that is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are not available to the indemnifying party, or (x) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any expenses therefor. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agree to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and documented out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and documented out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.2.1This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part.

5.2.2Following the expiration of the Lock-up Period or the Private Placement Lock-up Period, as applicable, the rights granted to a Holder by the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder only to a Permitted Transferee of such Holder; provided, that (x) such transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws (subject to reasonable verification by the Company), (y) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred and (z) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.4Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT (I) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND (II) THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK COUNTY, AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK COUNTY, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

5.5Specific Performance. Each party hereto recognizes and affirms that in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, money damages would be inadequate (and therefore the non-breaching party would have no adequate remedy at law) and the non-breaching party would be irreparably damaged. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that each other party hereof shall be entitled to specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security or needing to prove irreparable harm) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any proceeding, in addition to any other remedy to which such person may be entitled.

5.6Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.7Interpretation. The headings and captions used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not modify, define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

5.8Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way.

5.9Amendments and Modifications.Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the total Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

5.10Other Registration Rights. Other than (i) the Holders who have registration rights with respect to Ordinary Shares pursuant to their respective Subscription Agreements and (ii) as provided in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2021, between the Company, SPAC, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as modified by the Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and among SPAC, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement

E-18

with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

5.11Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission)); provided, that with respect to any Holder, this Agreement shall terminate on the date such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.

5.12Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon written request by the Company, each Holder shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be reasonably necessary to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

WARRANT ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of [], 2022, by and among Artemis Strategic Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), Novibet PLC, a United Kingdom public limited company (“PubCo”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (“Continental”), as warrant agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, SPAC completed its initial public offering of units on October 4, 2021 (“Offering”), pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of 20,125,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock of SPAC, par value $0.0001 per share (“SPAC Class A Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one SPAC Class A Share at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the completion of the Offering, SPAC completed the offer and sale of an aggregate of 10,000,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one SPAC Class A Share at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment;

WHEREAS, in order to finance SPAC’s transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, Artemis Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and sponsor of SPAC (the “Sponsor”) or affiliates of the Sponsor or SPAC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan to SPAC funds as SPAC may require, of which up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into up to an additional 1,500,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Working Capital Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”);

WHEREAS, SPAC and Continental entered into a warrant agreement, dated as of September 29, 2021, governing the terms of the Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”);

WHEREAS, SPAC has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 30, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Komisium Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Cyprus and the holder of all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Logflex (the “Logflex Shareholder”), Logflex MT Holding Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Malta and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Logflex Shareholder (“Logflex”), PubCo, Novibet Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”) and SPAC, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge through a statutory merger with and into SPAC (the “Merger”), with SPAC surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, are referred to herein as the “Business Combination”), which transactions will constitute the initial “Business Combination” of SPAC for purposes of the Warrant Agreement;

WHEREAS, at the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), each outstanding SPAC Class A Share (other than any Excluded SPAC Shares, as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one ordinary share of PubCo, par value $1.00 per share (the “PubCo Shares”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of the Merger Agreement and Section 4.5 of the Warrant Agreement, upon the Closing, each Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing will be assumed by PubCo and will represent a warrant to purchase PubCo Shares (collectively, the “PubCo Warrants”) in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement (as assumed and amended by this Agreement);

WHEREAS, Section 9.8 of the Warrant Agreement provides that SPAC and the Warrant Agent may amend the Warrant Agreement without the consent of any Registered Holder (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agreement) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained therein or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement as SPAC and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and that SPAC and the Warrant Agent deem shall not adversely affect the interest of the Registered Holders (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Warrants; and

Table of Contents

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.18 of the Merger Agreement, SPAC agreed to assign to PubCo, and PubCo agreed to assume, all of SPAC’s rights, interests, and obligations under the Warrant Agreement, in each case, effective upon the Closing.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.   Assignment and Assumption of Warrant Agreement.   SPAC hereby assigns to PubCo all of SPAC’s right, title and interest in and to the Warrant Agreement (as amended hereby) and PubCo hereby assumes, and agrees to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, as the same become due, all of SPAC’s liabilities and obligations under the Warrant Agreement (as amended hereby) arising from and after the execution of this Agreement, in each case, effective immediately following the completion of the Business Combination and conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing. As a result of the preceding sentence, effective immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, each Warrant shall automatically cease to represent a right to acquire SPAC Class A Shares and shall instead represent a right to subscribe for PubCo Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement (as amended hereby).

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Subject to certain exceptions, English law does not permit PubCo to indemnify a director against liability in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him or her in relation to PubCo. The exceptions allow PubCo to:

(1)   purchase and maintain director and officer insurance against any liability attaching in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust owed to the company. Director and officer insurance generally covers costs incurred in defending allegations and compensatory damages that are awarded. However, director and officer insurance will generally not cover damages awarded in relation to criminal acts, intentional malfeasance or other forms of dishonesty, regulatory offenses or excluded matters such as environmental liabilities. In relation to these matters, director and officer insurance generally only covers defense costs, subject to the obligation of the director or officer to repay the costs if an allegation of criminality, dishonesty or intentional malfeasance is subsequently admitted or found to be true;

(2)   provide a qualifying third party indemnity provision, which it refers to in this proxy statement/ prospectus as a QTPIP. This permits PubCo to indemnify its directors (and directors of an “associated company” (i.e., a company that is a parent, subsidiary or sister company of PubCo)) in respect of proceedings brought by third parties (covering both legal costs and the amount of any adverse judgment), except for:

(i)   the legal costs of an unsuccessful defense of criminal proceedings, or civil proceedings brought by the company itself;

(ii)   fines imposed in criminal proceedings; and

(iii)   penalties imposed by regulatory bodies. PubCo can therefore indemnify directors against such third-party actions as class actions or actions following mergers and acquisitions or share issues;

(3)   indemnify a director in respect of defense costs in relation to criminal and civil proceedings against him or her (even if the action is brought by the company itself). This is subject to the requirement for the director or officer to reimburse the company if the defense is unsuccessful. However, if the company has a QTPIP in place whereby the director or officer is indemnified in respect of legal costs in civil proceedings brought by third parties, then the director or officer will not be required to reimburse the company in such cases; and

(4)   provide a qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision, which are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as a QPSIP. This permits PubCo to indemnify a director of a company (whether PubCo or an associated company) that is a trustee of an occupational pension scheme against liability incurred in connection with such company’s activities as a trustee of the scheme, except for: (i) the legal costs of an unsuccessful defense of criminal proceedings; (ii) fines imposed in criminal proceedings; and (iii) penalties imposed by regulatory bodies.

The Restated Articles include a provision that allows PubCo to exercise all powers to indemnify, subject to the provisions of English law, any person who is or was a director of PubCo or an associated company against any loss or liability, whether: (i) in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him or her or otherwise, in relation to PubCo or any associated company; or (ii) in connection with that company’s activities as a trustee of an occupational pension scheme. The Restated Articles also include a provision that allows the company to exercise all powers to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the company or any related company or for the trustee of any pension fund in which the employees of the company or any related company are or have been interested.

Further, the Restated Articles provides that all directors or other officers of PubCo (except a person engaged by the Company as auditor) be indemnified out of the assets of PubCo against any liability incurred by them for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of PubCo, provided that such provision shall be deemed not to provide for, or entitle any such

person to, indemnification to the extent that it would cause the provision, or any element of it, to be treated as void under the Companies Act, 2006.

In addition to the provisions of the articles of association, it is common to set out the terms of the QTPIP and any QPSIP in the form of a deed of indemnity between the company and the relevant director or executive officer which indemnifies the director or executive officer against claims brought by third parties to the fullest extent permitted under English law. PubCo expects to enter into new deeds of indemnity with directors, executive officers and certain other officers and employees (including directors, officers and employees of subsidiaries and other affiliates) in due course. Shareholders have a right under English law to request and inspect copies of qualifying indemnity provisions.

As of December 11, 2021, PubCo has obtained Director & Officer Liability Insurance relating to certain liabilities that our directors and officers may incur in such capacity.

Item 22.   Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;

II-3

Table of Contents

to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and
to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (1)(d) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (a) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (b) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-4

Table of Contents

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (i) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; and (ii) to arrange or provide for a facility in the U.S. for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in subparagraph (i) above includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
