Gaming License and Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On April 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) and Promissory Note (the “Note”) with H Y H Investments, S.A. (the “Seller”) for the purchase of all outstanding securities of El Muerto Beauty Mineral, Sociedad Anonima (hereafter “EMBM”) whose sole asset consists of a license to operate 80 gaming machines in two cities on the Honduras mainland and 160 gaming machines in Roatan, the largest of the bay islands of Honduras. The total purchase price for the acquisition was Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) payable in the form of a Promissory Note (the “Note”). Upon the signing of the Agreement and Note, the $100,000 funds in escrow were paid to the Seller under the terms of the Note. The Company owes no further obligation under the terms of the Note until April 6, 2016, at which time $900,000 is due to the Seller, payable in the form of cash or shares of common stock of the Company at the average closing price of the common stock of the Company for the five trading days immediately preceding April 6, 2016. The remaining balance under the Note is payable up to $2,500,000 per year thereafter through March 31, 2021 by either cash payments or by a revenue-share of 25% of the net revenues received by EMBM during such time period. In the event that Seller has not received the full amount due on or before March 31, 2021, such amount due may be payable via the issuance of the Company’s shares of common stock at the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding March 31, 2021. Beginning on or after April 17, 2017, payments tendered in the form of Company common stock may be repurchased by the Company given the Seller’s approval with the purchase price being the value of the shares at the corresponding payment date. The Company is not obligated to re-purchase the shares. The Seller agreed to waive interest payments of 3.85% per annum, due in monthly installments, in exchange for a sub-license granting the Seller usage of twenty-five (25) machines in the municipality of Roatan.

 

First Amendment; Securities Purchase Agreement and Note

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company amended the Note and SPA to reflect a due date of April 6, 2016 in conjunction with the first payment of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000), which is due in either cash, stock, or 25% of the net revenues of EMBM’s operations. The Note was also amended to reflect the current purchase price owed was reduced to $9,900,000, which deducts the $100,000 non-refundable deposit tendered on April 6, 2015. The business purpose for this amendment was to allow the Company the proper time to incorporate a Honduras corporation to be in compliance with the laws of the Republic of Honduras to effectively be able to transact business in that municipality. The good-faith non-refundable deposit permitted negotiation for a commitment at a later date.

 

Second Amendment; Securities Purchase Agreement

 

Effective November 20, 2015, the Company signed a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with H y H Investments, S.A. (the “Seller”) regarding the acquisition of the gaming license whereby the Company re-assigned the Agreement to Elite Holdings S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary owned by the Company on a jointly and severally liable basis with the Company so as to comply with the regulatory authority of the Republic of Honduras. The Amendment also removed any Required Approvals on part of the Seller to enter into the Agreement. The Amendment specifies that as long as the Company is current in its payment obligations, upon good faith payment, Purchaser shall have the right to operate gaming machines permitted under the license and proceed with the use of the license as owner of EMBM with full power and authority to contract, license, sub-license, loan, lease, enter into contract or any other business venture in which entitles Purchaser to the benefit of the license on behalf of the Corporation. The Amendment also clarified that the shares of EMBM would be assigned to Elite Holdings, S.A. after the full purchase price had been tendered to the Seller. The Company will recognize the appropriate asset and liability when performance occurs on the effective date April 6, 2016.

 

Third Amendment; Securities Purchase Agreement and Joint Venture Agreement

 

On May 20, 2016, the Company and H Y H Investments, S.A. (“HYHI”) executed the Third Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to further clarify and amend and restate certain provisions of the Original Purchase Agreement, First Amendment and Second Amendment (the “Original Purchase Agreement”).

(c) Revenue Share Plan. A revenue share split of any and all revenues derived from the Joint Venture (the “Revenue Share Plan”) on a basis equal to twenty-five percent (25%) to EGV, and seventy-five percent (75%) to HYHI until such time as HYHI has received payment in full of the Total Consideration, and thereafter one hundred percent (100%) of the revenues shall be paid to EVG, for the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EVG shall be required to pay HYHI certain minimum licensing fee payments (the “Minimum Licensing Fee Payments”) in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD $250,000.00) due and payable to HYHI on or before 31st day of each quarter, beginning on January 1, 2017, if the total amount paid to HYHI in the then prior quarter from the seventy-five percent (75%) revenue split does not exceed that amount. In the event DEAC and EGV is unable to make the Minimum Licensing Fee Payments in full when due, DEAC shall pay HYHI the amounts owed in the form of the issuance of a new convertible redeemable note (the “Licensing Redeemable Note”) for each such occurrence, in the form and on the same terms and Maturity Date as set forth in the Amended and Restated Redeemable Note.

 

The Joint Venture also included the option of the Company and EVG to acquire the ownership of EMBM and License directly, within thirty (30) days of the date payment in full of the Total Consideration is made to HYHI pursuant to the Agreement, at which time, EVG and Company would have the right to exercise an option (the “Option”) to acquire one hundred percent (100%) of EMBM, including, but not limited to, any and all assets (e.g. gaming licenses, etc.), and liabilities required to continue the gaming operation set forth by the Joint Venture, for a purchase price of (USD $10.00) (the “Option Payment”), paid by the Company to HYHI.

On or about March 14, 2017, the Company and H Y H Investments, S.A. (“HYHI”), a Honduras corporation executed a Joint Venture Termination Agreement (the “JV Termination Agreement”), in which the entire Joint Venture set forth in the original Joint Venture Agreement (the “Joint Venture”), dated May 20, 2016, was rendered null and void, except for the validity and enforceability of a total of Three Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$3,900,000) represented by the first eight (8) quarterly payments of the original Amended and Restated Redeemable Note issued on or about May 20, 2016 in the amended principal amount of Four Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $4,900,000), in relation to the following payments: (A) two (2) separate payments of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (USD $450,000), plus accrued interest to date, due on July 1, 2016 and October 1, 2016, respectively, for a total of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $900,000), and payable in cash or convertible into shares of common stock of DEAC at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.01 per share or fifty percent (50%) to the five (5) trading day average closing price immediately preceding the payment date, and (B) the remaining balance of Four Million (USD $4,000,000) payable in cash in a total of eight (8) equal quarterly installments of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $500,000), plus accrued interest to date, on the first day of each quarter beginning with January 1, 2017 and ending on January 1, 2019, convertible into shares of common stock of DEAC at fifty percent (50%) discount to the five (5) trading day average closing price immediately preceding the payment date, and other terms more fully described in the amended note set forth in the Amended and Restate Redeemable Note, thus cancelling the final two (2) quarterly payments (seventh and eighth quarterly payments) of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $500,000) each for a reduction of One Million Dollars (UD$1,000,000) of the principal amount of the Amended and Restated Redeemable Note, pursuant to the terms of the Note Cancellation and Extinguishment Agreement (the “Note Cancellation Agreement”), attached as Exhibit A to the JV Termination Agreement, and any and all existing operations, including, but not limited to, all of the assets and liabilities of the Joint Venture remained in Elite Data Holdings S.A., a Honduras corporation (“EDH”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elite Gaming Ventures LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“EGV”), with the ownership interest of EGV assigned and transferred to HYHI and/or its assigns as set forth in the Assignment (the “Assignment”), attached as Exhibit A-1 to the Note Cancellation Agreement, including other terms and conditions set forth therein.
