, Chief Executive Officer and Director, of GameSquare, all of the current directors are considered “independent,” as they are free from a direct or indirect material relationship with GameSquare which could reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment as directors. The basis for this determination is that, since the commencement of GameSquare’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and up to the date hereof, none of the current directors have worked for GameSquare, received remuneration from GameSquare (other than in their capacity as directors) or had material contracts with or material interests in GameSquare which could interfere with their ability to act in GameSquare’s best interests, except for Louis Schwartz and Justin Kenna.

The Board believes that it functions independently of management. To enhance its ability to act independently of management, the members of the Board may meet without management and the non-independent directors. In the event of a conflict of interest at a meeting of the Board, the conflicted director will, in accordance with corporate law and his or her fiduciary obligations as a director of GameSquare, disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest to the meeting and abstain from voting on the matter at issue. In addition, the members of the Board that are not members of management are encouraged to obtain advice from external advisors and legal counsel as they may deem necessary in order to reach a conclusion with respect to issues brought before the Board.
