**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On January 29, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), Elys Game Technology, Corp. ("Elys" or the "Company") entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to acquire 100% of Engage IT Services, S.r.l., a company organized under the laws of Italy ("Engage"), from its founding shareholders (the "Sellers"). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will acquire all of the shares of Engage and Engage will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Elys (the "Proposed Transaction").

Founded in 2016 by the Company's current Head of Global Technology, Luca Pasquini, along with Alessandro Alpi and Michael Denney, Engage employs 27 specialist technicians, developers and software engineers that specialize in the design, implementation and management of SQL databases, agile project management, and solutions based on the Microsoft cloud platform (Azure) and in the development of .NET applications. Since 2016, Engage has also provided contract services to the Company, playing a key role in the development of the Company's Elys Gameboard sportsbook technology and Player Account Management Platform (PAM).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company paid the "Dollar Equivalent" of €1,080,000 for all of the shares of Engage on a debt free basis, which amount may be increased or decreased based on the working capital surplus or deficit, and any indebtedness due to or from Engage by or from any one or more of the Sellers to be determined 10 days prior to June 30, 2023. The Company satisfied the payment by the issuance 3,018,462 shares of common stock (the "Exchange Shares") equal to the "Dollar Equivalent" of the Purchase Price, calculated at the exchange rate at the time of closing, at a price equal to the volume weighted average price per share (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent) of the Company's common stock for the twenty consecutive trading days beginning on the twenty-third trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date and concluding at the close of trading on the third trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date or US $0.39 per share, which may be adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, exchange or similar event; or any subsequent equity sale or rights offering of Elys, and is subject to shareholder approval if required. Additionally, the Company may repurchase the Exchange Shares in cash in whole or in part at any time on or prior to June 30, 2023.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Elys and the Sellers. Subject to certain customary limitations, the Sellers have agreed to indemnify Elys and its officers and directors against certain losses related to, among other things, breaches of the Sellers' representations and warranties, certain specified liabilities and the failure to perform covenants or obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement that is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding Elys, Engage or either of their businesses, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company's periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 3.02 in its entirety. The Exchange Shares will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The Sellers receiving the shares of the Company's common stock represented that they each were an "accredited investor," as defined in Regulation D, and were acquiring the securities described herein for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. Accordingly, the Exchange Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

On February 1, 2023, the Company issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 announcing entering into the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the laws of any state on
the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt from such registration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) as a result of such lack of registration, none of the Exchange Shares may be resold or otherwise transferred
or disposed without registration pursuant to or an exemption therefrom is available under the Securities Act and such state securities
laws. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Exchange Shares may not be sold in any event during the Hold Period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Purchasers' reliance on the availability of such exemption is, in part, based upon the accuracy
and truthfulness of the Seller' representations contained in this Agreement; and

Shares shall bear a restrictive legend substantially in the following form:

"THESE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE AND IS CURRENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES, OR (II) PURSUANT TO A SPECIFIC EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, BUT ONLY UPON THE HOLDER HEREOF FIRST HAVING OBTAINED THE WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, OR OTHER COUNSEL, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AS WELL AS ANY APPLICABLE "BLUE SKY" OR OTHER SIMILAR SECURITIES LAW."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 **<u>No Guarantees</u>.** It has never been represented, guaranteed or warranted expressly or by implication, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any gain will be realized by the Seller from the Seller' investment in the Exchange Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) except for the Hold Period, there will be any approximate or exact length of time that the Seller will
be required to remain as a holder of the Exchange Shares; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the past performance or experience on the part of the Purchaser, its predecessors or of any other person,
will in any way indicate any future results of the Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6 **<u>No Conflict</u>.** Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder will violate or conflict with the Purchaser's Certificate of Organization or any Law or Order.

**VI. REMEDIES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 **<u>General Indemnification Obligation</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Seller's Indemnification Obligations</u>. The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser
from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Purchaser based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of (i) any
inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or (ii) any breach of any covenant
or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Purchaser's Indemnification Obligations</u>. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Seller from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect
of (i) any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or (ii) any breach
of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 **<u>Notice of Asserted Liability</u>.** As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Seller, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, becomes aware of any claim that such Party has under **<u>Section 6.1</u>** that may result in a Loss for which such Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder (a "***Liability Claim***"), such Party (the "***Indemnified Party***") shall give notice of such Liability Claim (a "***Claims Notice***") to the other Party (the "***Indemnifying Party***"). A Claims Notice must describe the Liability Claim in reasonable detail and must indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this **<u>Section 6.2</u>** will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party except to the extent that such delay or failure has prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 **<u>Survival; Limitations</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement will survive for a period
of 48 months following the Closing (the "  ***Expiration Date*** "); <u>provided that</u>, any Claims pending on the
Expiration Date for which notice has been given in accordance with  **<u>Section 6.2</u>** on or before the Expiration Date may continue
to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this  **<u>Article VI</u>** , the Purchaser or
Seller will not have any liability pursuant to  **<u>Section 6.1</u>** in excess of the Purchase Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 **<u>Specific Performance</u>.** Each Party's obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any Party should breach its covenants under this Agreement, each of the Parties acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the non-breaching Party or Parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies, may sue in equity for specific performance, and each Party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 **<u>Adjustment to the Purchase Price</u>.** For U.S. Tax purposes, any indemnification payments made pursuant to this **<u>Article VI</u>** shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6 **<u>Exclusive Remedy</u>**. Except as may be required to enforce post-Closing covenants contained in this Agreement, after the Closing Date the indemnification rights in this **<u>Article VI</u>** are and shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby; <u>provided that</u>, this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any Party of its right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief in the case of another Party's failure to comply with the post-Closing covenants made by such other Party; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any Party of its right to pursue claims for fraud, intentional or knowing misrepresentation, or active concealment, all of which shall be claims that are outside the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In no event shall any Party be entitled to a duplicative recovery with respect to any particular Loss.

**VII. TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 **<u>Methods of Termination.</u>** This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions contemplated hereby may be rescinded at any time prior to the Closing by the mutual written consent of the parties, or up to twelve (12) months after the Closing Date as set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) By Purchaser, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part
of the Company or Seller set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company or Seller shall become untrue,
in either case such that any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 hereof would not be satisfied, and such breach shall, if capable
of cure, has not been cured within ten (10) days after receipt by the party in breach of a notice from the non-breaching party setting
forth in detail the nature of such breach;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) By Seller, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of
Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, or, if any representation or warranty of Purchaser and the shareholders of Purchaser shall become

if capable of cure, not have been cured within ten (10) days after receipt by the party in breach of a written notice from the non-breaching
party setting forth in detail the nature of such breach; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) By any party if a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency
or commission shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree or ruling the parties hereto
shall use its best efforts to lift), which permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 **<u>Procedure Upon Termination.</u>** In the event of termination and/or rescission of this Agreement by a party pursuant to Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given by the terminating party to the other parties and this Agreement shall terminate and the Transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned or rescinded, without further action. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, no party to this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party to this Agreement; provided, however, that no termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VII shall relieve any party of liability for a breach of any provision of this Agreement occurring before such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.13 **<u>Governing Law</u>.** This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to principles of conflicts of law; <u>provided that</u>, the actual transfer of the Engage Shares in accordance with **<u>Section 2.1</u>** will be governed by Italian law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14 **<u>Settlement of Disputes</u>.** In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Employment Agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with any of the foregoing, which does not involve a Party seeking a court injunction or other injunctive or equitable relief to protect its business, confidential information or intellectual property, the dispute will be resolved confidentially as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14.1  **<u>Amicable Negotiation</u>.** The Parties agree that, both during and after the performance of their
responsibilities under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, each of them will make bona fide efforts to resolve any disputes arising
between them by amicable negotiations with initial discussions between the Chief Executive Officers of each of the Purchaser and the Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14.2  **<u>Non-Binding Mediation.</u>** If the Parties have been unable to resolve a dispute by amicable
negotiation within thirty (30) days or such other period agreed to in writing by the Parties, the Parties shall submit the dispute to
non-binding mediation. Either Party may commence such mediation by providing the other Party a written request for mediation, setting
forth the subject of the dispute. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to select a single mediator with knowledge
and experience in the software development business that is mutually satisfactory to both Parties. If the Parties cannot promptly agree
on a mutually satisfactory mediator, the Parties shall request an alternative dispute resolution provider to promptly select the mediator.
The mediation shall be conducted in Rome, Italy and every effort will be made to commence and conclude the mediation within sixty (60)
days following the date that the mediator is selected. The costs of such mediation shall be borne by the Parties equally. If such mediation
does not produce a satisfactory resolution of the dispute, then each Party shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under
this Agreement. Any applicable statutes of limitation or repose shall be tolled during the period between the selection of the mediator
and thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the mediation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14.3  **<u>Binding Arbitration</u>.** If the Parties have been unable to resolve a dispute by mediation within
thirty (30) days or such other period agreed to in writing by the Parties, after the mediation ends, then any Party may make application
to the International Chamber of Commerce (the "  ***ICC***") to solve the dispute by arbitration. The arbitration will
be held in Rome, Italy in accordance with the rules of ICC then in effect. Subject to the foregoing, a Party seeking to arbitrate a controversy,
claim or dispute shall send a written notice to the other Party(ies) hereto and the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC. The
Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall each select one arbitrator within 20 days of the date of such written
notice, and the two arbitrators so chosen shall jointly select a third arbitrator within 15 days of the date the last of such arbitrators
is appointed. The International Court of Arbitration of the ICC shall administer the arbitration and act as an appointing authority if
any of the arbitrators fails to be selected in accordance with the foregoing. In the event of any conflict between the Rules of Arbitration
of the ICC and this  **<u>Section 8.14.3</u>** shall govern. The United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral
Awards (New York Convention) shall govern the enforcement of the award, and the principles set forth in this Agreement shall be applied
by the arbitrators for both evidence and substantive legal questions during the arbitration, including the rendering of the award. The
arbitrators' award will be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each Party will bear its
own costs and attorneys' fees and shall share the fees and expenses of the arbitrators in the manner determined by the arbitrators.
Any Party may seek injunctive relief in an appropriate court of law or equity pending an award in arbitration to prevent irreparable harm
in the interim. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction

Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Exchange Shares Price on the Closing Date (such lower price, the "  ***Adjusted Exchange Shares Price***" and each such issuance or announcement a "  ***Dilutive Issuance*** "), then the
Exchange Shares Price shall be immediately reduced to equal the Adjusted Exchange Shares Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Common Stock Equivalent is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than
the Exchange Shares Price or the Adjusted Exchange Shares Price at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the lower of the Exchange
Shares Price or Adjusted Exchange Shares Price shall be adjusted upon each such issuance or amendment as provided in this Section A.1(b):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Corporation will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Corporation therefor. If any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Corporation will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be the average VWAP of such public traded securities for the ten days prior to the date of receipt; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be.

"***VWAP***" means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)) (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), (b) if no volume weighted average price of the Common Stock is reported for the Trading Market, the most recent reported bid price per share of the Common Stock, or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If the holder of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents outstanding of the Corporation on the Closing
Date or issued after the Closing Date shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating
conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with
such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the lower of the Exchange
Shares Price or the Adjusted Exchange Shares Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the lower of the Exchange
Shares Price or the Adjusted Exchange Shares Price on such date and such issuance shall be deemed to be a Dilutive Issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The provisions of this Section A.1 shall apply each time a Dilutive Issuance occurs after the Closing
Date and for the duration of the Hold Period, but any adjustment of the Exchange Shares Price or Adjusted Exchange Shares Price pursuant
to this Section A.1 shall be downward only.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The provisions of this Section A.1 shall not apply to Exempt Issuances.

***"Exempt Issuance"*** means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose and (b) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

**Section A.2 Subsequent Rights Offerings**.

In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section A.1 above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "***Purchase Rights***"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Exchange Shares had been fully vested in the Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

**<u>Section B</u>**

**Section B.1 Notices**

Upon the occurrence of any one or more events set forth in Section A of this Appendix A, the Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or Rights Offering subject to Sections A.1 and A.2, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, Exchange Shares Price, Adjusted Exchange Shares Price and other pricing terms (such notice, the "***Dilutive Issuance Notice***").

**Section B.2 Issuance of Shares**

Within ten trading days of such dilutive issuance, the Corporation will issue to the holders of the Exchange Shares such additional shares based on the formula of Dollar Equivalent divided by the Adjusted Exchange Price less Exchange Shares and any additional Adjusted Exchange Shares previously issued to the holders pursuant to the Agreement or this Appendix A.

For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section A.1, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Exchange Shares based upon the Adjusted Exchange Shares Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Exchange Shares Price in any Call Option Notice, Put Option Notice or any Notice required pursuant to the Agreement.

("Elys" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ELYS)(BER:3UW), an interactive gaming and sports betting technology company, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of a premium software engineering and IT development firm, Engage IT Services, S.r.l.

The firm offers best-in-class development of sportsbook and gaming applications for cloud, web, and mobile platforms, user experience development, customized business intelligence, digital transformation consulting, end-to-end project and product management, Microsoft solutions, and other engineering and development projects.

On the same day the Company also obtained long-term commitments of 6 key IT, engineering, and risk and project management employees through the issuance of incentive shares vesting monthly over a period of 3 years.

"With the acquisition of Engage we fulfill our strategy of creating a prominent in-house engineering base for the Group. Engage brings the perfect blend of engineering excellence, overlapping corporate culture, and regional presence that we are confident will make a lasting positive impact on Elys, leveraging off their resources and years of experience to expand our service offerings and to enhance our services to our customers and employees," stated Michele Ciavarella, Executive Chairman of Elys Game Technology. "Prior to the acquisition of Engage, our global team of strategists, designers, and technologists had worked almost exclusively with Engage to create powerful digital experiences for users and platforms that were designed to facilitate rapid development and delivery of customized sportsbook applications. We believe that, after the close collaboration that we have had with the Engage team, that this acquisition was a natural progression for Elys in its journey to become a leading provider of end-to-end sportsbook solutions for both B2B and B2C customers."

Founded in 2016 and based in Italy, Engage employs 30 experts including architects, developers and software engineers that specialize in the design, implementation and management of SQL databases, agile and DevOps project management, and solutions based on the Microsoft cloud platform (Azure) and in the development of ..NET applications, primarily focused on sports betting and gaming systems.

The deal is structured as an equity acquisition of 100% of the shares of Engage such that Engage will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Elys upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement ("Agreement"). The current Engage and Elys leadership and management team will remain in their current roles and their interest are aligned with that of our shareholders due to the equity nature of this transaction. Pursuant to the Agreement, Elys will issue approximately 3,018,462 shares of common stock ("Shares"), valued at €1.08 million, which purchase price may be increased or decreased dependent upon the net financial position of Engage as determined by due diligence, on or prior to June 30, 2023.
