Kings Entertainment Receives CSE Conditional Approval to Proceed with Acquisition of Parent of Bet99 Sportsbook and Casino Operator, Calls Shareholder Meeting to Approve the Acquisition and Refiles its Q2 2022 Interim Financial Statements

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 26, 2022 —  Kings EntertainmentGroup Inc. (“Kings Entertainment” or the “Company”) (CSE:JKPT, OTC:JKPTF) announces that it has received conditional approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) in connection with its previously announced proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Sports Venture Holdings Inc. (“SVH”), the parent company of the market-leading Bet99 brand. Kings Entertainment also announces that it has called a meeting of its shareholders to be held on October 25, 2022 (the “Meeting”) for the purposes of seeking, among other things, shareholder approval of the Business Combination in accordance with the polices of the CSE.

“We remain excited to proceed with the previously announced business combination with Bet99 to create Interactive Entertainment Group. Our goal has always been to grow our business organically and through the acquisition of complementary businesses. We believe the acquisition of SVH is fully aligned with our business objectives and serves to further bolster our position as a market leader and innovator.” said Steve Budin, CEO of Kings Entertainment. “Receipt of the CSE conditional approval is an important step forward in the completion of the business combination. We now look forward to holding our shareholder meeting on October 25, 2022 so that we hear from our shareholders and share our excitement about our future with Bet99. We hope to close this transformational transaction shortly following our shareholder meeting.” In connection with the Meeting, Kings Entertainment has prepared, filed and mailed to shareholders, a management information circular dated September 24, 2022, (the “Circular”). The record date set for notice of, and voting at, the Meeting has been set as September 16, 2022. The Circular, which attaches to it a draft of listing statement (the “Listing Statement”) prepared in accordance with the policies of the CSE, includes further details concerning the Business Combination, SVH and the issuer resulting from the Business Combination (the “Resulting Issuer”). Shareholders are encouraged to review the Circular in its entirety. The board of directors of the Company have unanimously approved the Business Combination and recommend shareholders vote at the Meeting FOR the Business Combination.

It is anticipated the Company will change its name such that the Resulting Issuer will operate under the name “Interactive Entertainment Group Inc.”. In addition, it is expected that SVH will complete a brokered financing in advance of closing the Business Combination to support the financial position of the combined company for the ensuing year. The Company will announce details concerning any such financing in due course.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the Three and Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (the “Interim Statements”) and corresponding management’s discussion and analysis (the “MD&A”) are required to be attached to the Listing Statement. The Interim Statements and MD&A, as filed by the Company on August 26, 2022, were not required to be, and were not, reviewed by the Company’s auditors however the Interim Statements are required to be reviewed when attached to the final Listing Statement. As a result of management’s and the auditor’s review of the Interim Statements during the course of preparing the Listing Statement, certain errors were discovered and therefore the Interim Statements and the MD&A, as attached to the draft Listing Statement, have been amended and such amended Interim Statements and amended MD&A have been filed under the Company’s profile on www.sedar.com.

The amendments pertain to adjustments to rectify errors related to: (i) certain noncash items being incorrectly included in net cash flows used in operating activities with an offsetting misstatement in effect of foreign exchange in cash, (ii) the calculation of deferred income tax expense with an offsetting misstatement in foreign currency translation differences and (iii) the foreign exchange translation reserve with offsetting misstatement in deficit. These corrections did not have an impact on the net change in cash; however, resulted in understatement of shareholders’ equity.  The Company does not believe these amendments are material.
