**PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION**

**Financial Statements**

Gambling.com Group Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company, the "Group," "we," "us, "our" and words of similar references) reports its consolidated financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"), and as adopted by the European Union ("EU"). None of our financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We maintain our books and records in Euros, the functional currency of the Company. The reporting currency for our financial statements is United States dollars ("USD" or "U.S. dollars"). Unless otherwise noted, the financial information presented herein as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is stated in U.S. dollars, our reporting currency. All dollar amounts in this annual report are in thousands of USD unless otherwise stated. All references herein to "our financial statements," "our consolidated financial information," and "our consolidated financial statements," are to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

This financial information should be read in conjunction with "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results" and our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this annual report.

Our fiscal year ends on December 31. References in this annual report to a fiscal year, such as "fiscal year 2022," relate to our fiscal year ended on December 31 of that calendar year.

**Financial Information in U.S. Dollars**

The Company's functional currency is Euros. USD has been selected as the reporting currency to ensure comparability with the financial reports of similar entities. You should not construe these translations as representations by us that the amounts actually represent these U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into USD at the rates indicated. See "Note 2—Foreign Currency Translation" to our consolidated financial statements for rates utilized to translate Euro amounts into the reporting currency of USD.

**Constant Currency**

Some of our financial and operational data that we disclose in this annual report is presented on a "constant currency" basis to isolate the effect of currency changes during the year. Where we refer to a measure being calculated in "constant currency," we are calculating the dollar change and the percentage change as if the exchange rate that is being used in the current period was in effect for all prior periods presented. We believe that this calculation provides a more meaningful indication of actual period over period performance and eliminates any fluctuations from currency exchange rates.

**Rounding**

We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this annual report. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them.

**Special Note Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures**

Management uses several financial measures, both IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business and for making operational decisions. Such non-IFRS measures are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share and Free Cash Flow. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results – Non-IFRS Financial Measures."

**SELECTED DEFINITIONS**

*Throughout this annual report, we use a number of industry-specific terms and key performance indicators used by management. These industry-specific terms and key performance indicators are described throughout this annual report and are discussed in more detail in the section entitled "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results." We define these terms as follows:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "B2B" refers to business-to-business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "CPA" or "Cash Per Acquisition" refers to a model where an online gambling affiliate receives a single cash payment for each referred player that satisfies certain agreed upon criteria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "GGR" refers to gross gaming revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Hybrid" refers to a model where an online gambling affiliate receives a combination of revenue share and CPA per referred player.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "iGaming" refers to online casino services which offer games typically available in land-based casinos such as blackjack, roulette, and slot machines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "NDCs" refers to new depositing customers at an online gambling operator. We and some of our peers track the NDCs we generate for our customers as a key performance indicator, or KPI, to understand the ongoing performance of our platform. When used in "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results," an NDC refers to a unique referral of a player from our system to one of our customers that satisfied an agreed performance obligation (typically making a deposit above a minimum threshold) with the customer thereby triggering the right to a commission for us.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "NGR" refers to net gaming revenue, calculated by making certain deductions from GGR such as bonuses, taxes and fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Online gamblers" refers to end users of online gambling services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Online gambling" refers to all forms of online gambling including sports betting, iGaming, daily fantasy sports, poker and bingo among others.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Online gambling affiliates" refers to companies that provide performance marketing services to online gambling operators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Online gambling operators" refers to licensed companies that operate real money online gambling services on one or more of their own websites.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Organic growth" refers to percentage change in sales during the past period compared to the same period the previous year. Organic growth is adjusted to exclude revenue from businesses or assets acquired during the past 12 months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Our customers" refers to online gambling operators to which we referred online gamblers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Our referred players" refers to the entire body of online gamblers who we have referred to our customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "Revenue share" refers to a model where an online gambling affiliate is compensated with a percentage of the NGR produced by a pool of referred players.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ "SEO" refers to search engine optimization.

*Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this annual report, including the section titled "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our ordinary shares. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.* 

**Summary Risk Factors**

The following is a summary of some of the principal risks we face:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We rely on traffic to our websites to grow revenue. Our business could be negatively affected by changes in search engine algorithms and dynamics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The online gambling industry is heavily regulated. Changes to the regulatory framework in the jurisdictions in which we operate could restrict our ability to advertise or could harm our customers' business, which could in turn negatively affect our financial performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our industry continues to evolve, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our top ten customers. The loss of one or more of these customers could materially negatively impact our results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not have long-term commitments from our customers, and we may not be able to retain customers or attract new customers that provide us with revenue that is comparable to the revenue generated by any customers we may lose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A large portion of our revenue depends on our customers' calculated revenue and cost base and could therefore vary or be subject to miscalculations or misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We depend on key personnel to operate our business. An inability to retain, attract and integrate qualified personnel would harm our ability to develop and successfully grow our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to increase our revenue depends on our ability to introduce successful new products and services. Our ongoing investments in developing products and services involve significant risks, could disrupt our current operations and may not produce the long-term benefits that we expect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our failure to obtain or maintain applicable licenses or approvals, or otherwise comply with applicable requirements, could adversely affect our business and our operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we fail to protect or enforce our rights in our proprietary technology, brands or other intellectual property, or face any potential liability and expense for legal claims for infringement of intellectual

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

property rights of others, our competitive position and our business could be materially adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An actual, alleged or perceived security incident, including a cybersecurity attack, inadvertent disclosure or breach of sensitive information, including confidential and personal information we process, or of the security of our or our customers', vendors', or partners' networks and systems could be detrimental to our business, reputation, financial information and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our websites, apps, or platforms could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, other companies, domain names, and/or technologies, which could divert management's attention and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our operating results, whether or not the acquisition is consummated. We may fail to acquire businesses whose market power or technology could be important to the future success of our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we fail to manage our rapid growth effectively, our brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of economic conditions, including foreign exchange rates, inflation, and the resulting effect on consumer spending, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 may adversely affect our future financial condition, and results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over our financial reporting process. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Negative events or negative media coverage relating to online gambling may adversely impact our ability to retain or attract online gamblers, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the services of banks or the financial system and our business could be materially adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our failure to obtain or maintain applicable licenses or approvals, or otherwise comply with applicable requirements, could adversely affect our business and our operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may be subject to legislation that limits or restricts the marketing of online gambling services and we could fail to comply with such legislation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, data protection and information security. If we are unable to comply with these, we may be subject to governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidation among online gambling operators may reduce demand for our products and profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to meet ESG expectations or standards could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, or share price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our status as a non-U.S. company could have certain material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry***

***We rely on traffic to our websites to grow revenue. Our business could be negatively affected by changes in search engine algorithms and dynamics.***

We rely heavily on Internet search engines, such as Google, through their unpaid search results, also known as Organic, to generate a significant portion of the traffic to our website. Traditionally, the vast majority of the traffic to our websites come through unpaid channels, including SEO and Direct.

SEO is the process of optimizing websites to make them more appealing to search engines so that they rank favorably in the search engines' results pages for certain search queries. Although we believe that Google and other search engines are increasingly adept at identifying the truly high-quality content that deserves prominence, the factors affecting the appearance and rankings of search results are determined by search engines and are therefore not under our direct control.

For example, search engines change their algorithms periodically, which could cause our websites to appear lower or not at all in the search engines' results pages. In the future, search engines may change the search

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

results pages to promote search engines' own products or services. In addition, search engines may favor paid searches over natural searches. As a result, our competitors' pay-per-click advertising could receive higher prominence than our own websites.

Our websites have experienced fluctuations in search rankings in the past. While the amount of natural search traffic from Google across our entire portfolio consistently varies based on a variety of factors related to both search rankings and consumer demand, the amount of natural search traffic can shift up or down more significantly when Google implements a Core Algorithm Update to their search algorithm. Other known updates that Google have previously released simultaneously and on a consistent basis are the Product Review Updates, Spam Update and Help Content Update. These updates target specific areas of a website if they don't meet Googles Guidelines but tend to have a lesser impact to the Core Updates.

Core Updates can lead to larger than normal changes in Google search engine rankings which in turn affect traffic, although some updates have no impact on certain websites. We have consistently seen increases in our natural search traffic between Core Algorithm updates. When updates are negative, we tend to continue to grow after the update is fully rolled out. When updates are positive, we tend to plateau for a short period after the update.

In September 2022, Google launched a Core Algorithm Update whereby Gambling.com saw traffic increase of 10% compared to the prior month. In Q4 2022, Google released a Product Review Update, two Spam Updates and a Helpful Content Update. The Gambling.com website in particular saw an uptick in Q4 traffic of 23% which means it benefited from these Google Updates, along with the winter seasonality increase. As we mostly saw gains from these updates across all our sites, some competitors would have experienced declines and on another day, this could have been the other way round, where we experience declines and our competitors haves gains.

If our websites are listed less prominently or fail to appear in search results for any reason, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

In addition to that, if the nature of search of engines fundamentally changes due to the potential of artificial intelligence to disrupt the prevailing paradigm within online searches, and users begin to prefer chatbot-style search engines, this could result in fewer users using "traditional" search engines and could have a material adverse effect on our revenue.

***Our industry continues to evolve, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.***

We launched operations in 2006 and, since then, have frequently expanded our business. Our evolving business makes it difficult to forecast our future results of operations. Our historical revenue growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. These risks and challenges include our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attract and retain new customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase the number of users of our websites and apps;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continue to earn and preserve a reputation for providing meaningful and reliable reviews of our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully manage our growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully develop and deploy new features and products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• manage and integrate successfully acquisitions of businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• avoid interruptions or disruptions on our platform; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recruit, integrate and retain talented personnel.

If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in section "Item 3. Key Information – Risk Factors," our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Further, because we operate in a rapidly evolving market, any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we had operated in a more predictable market. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks, and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing

industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our top ten customers. The loss of any of these customers could materially negatively impact our results.***

Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, our top ten customers accounted for 50%, 52% and 55% of our revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our largest customer accounted for 9% of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our two largest customers accounted for 13% and 10% of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our largest customer accounted for 20% of our revenue. These top customers contributed more revenue than the other customers primarily because they were able to convert online gamblers into NDCs at a higher rate.

We cannot guarantee that these top customers will always choose to use our service. In the event we lose a top customer, although we are able to direct online gamblers (i.e., traffic) to our other existing customers, those customers might not be able to convert online gamblers into NDCs as frequently as a top customer. If we are unable to maintain and renew our relationship with our largest customers, then our business would be materially adversely affected.

***We do not have long-term commitments from our customers, and we may not be able to retain customers or attract new customers that provide us with revenue that is comparable to the revenue generated by any customers we may lose.***

Most of our customers do business with us by placing orders for particular digital marketing services or entering into revenue share arrangements. If we perform well with respect to particular services, then the customer may place new orders with us for additional services or enter into new revenue share arrangements. We rarely have any commitment from a customer beyond the services contemplated in the order or revenue share arrangement and, even then, customers can typically terminate at any time. As a result, our success is dependent upon our ability to deliver value to our customers and obtain repeat business from existing customers, while continually expanding the number of customers for whom we provide services. In addition, it is relatively easy for customers to seek alternative online gambling affiliates for their digital marketing services because there are no significant switching costs. Because we generally do not have long-term contracts, it may be difficult for us to accurately predict future revenue streams at times. We cannot provide assurance that our current customers will continue to use our services or that we will be able to replace departing customers with new customers that provide us with comparable revenue.

***A large portion of our revenue depends on our customers' calculated revenue and cost base. Our customers' calculations could vary or be subject to miscalculations or deliberate misrepresentation.***

We primarily generate revenue through performance marketing by referring online gamblers to online gambling operators. When an online gambler visits an online gambling operator from one of our websites, registers a new account and makes a deposit, this online gambler becomes one of our referred players. Each of our referred players entitles us to remuneration pursuant to our agreements with the online gambling operator. Our performance marketing agreements are primarily based on a revenue share model, a Cost Per Acquisition model (also referred to as CPA), or a combination of both, which is referred to as hybrid.

Under revenue share agreements, net revenues are calculated as GGR for a user, adjusted for direct costs—such as transaction fees, bonuses, and taxation. Online gambling operators' direct costs may increase due to various factors, including increased taxation caused by new tax regulations. Some online gambling operators introduce arbitrary administration or other fees into the calculation to further reduce NGR.

Revenue share commissions are typically calculated on the basis of all of the referred players across a given online gambling affiliate account. Depending on our customer, we may maintain anywhere from one to ten or more online gambling affiliate accounts with each customer depending on the number of markets and websites where we work together. Referred players in an online gambling affiliate account are typically pooled when calculating commissions. As a result, a large winning referred player can zero-out the commission that would be payable on the other referred players within an online gambling affiliate account in any given month.

In addition, after we have directed an online gambler to an online gambling operator, we cannot directly track the online gambler's activities in the online gambling operator's system. We, therefore, rely on the net revenue calculations by the online gambling operator to determine our entitled payment. Consequently, there is a risk of miscalculation and misrepresentation, whether due to error, negligence, or fraud. If such miscalculations occur undetected and are not subsequently remedied or retroactively adjusted, we could receive a lower fee than we are entitled to under our agreements, which, in turn, could result in lost revenue and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this annual report may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.***

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts included in this annual report are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. Not every online gambling operator covered by our market opportunity estimates will necessarily purchase our solutions at all, and some or many of those online gambling operators may choose to use the solutions offered by our competitors. It is impossible to build every product feature that every customer wants, and our competitors may develop and offer features that our platform does not provide. The variables that go into the calculation of our market opportunity are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any particular number or percentage of the online gambling operators covered by our market opportunity estimates will purchase our solutions at all or generate any particular level of revenue for us. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates and growth forecasts in this annual report, our business could fail to grow for a variety of reasons outside of our control, including competition in our industry or changing regulation. If any of these risks materialize, it could harm our business and prospects.

***We depend on key personnel to operate our business. An inability to retain, attract, and integrate qualified personnel would harm our ability to develop and successfully grow our business.***

Our success and growth strategy depend on our ability to attract and retain key management and operating personnel, including skilled developers, marketing personnel, project managers, product managers and content editors. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. Experienced developers and marketing personnel, who are critical to the success of our business, are also in particularly high demand. Competition for their talents is intense and retaining such individuals can be difficult. The fallout from "the Great Resignation" may also make it more difficult to find and retain key personnel. In addition, any volatility in our share price could negatively impact the value of equity awards and adversely affect our ability to retain key management and executives.

The future success of our business is highly dependent on the services and decisions of our management team, including Charles Gillespie, our Chief Executive Officer, Kevin McCrystle, our Chief Operating Officer, and Elias Mark, our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of one or more of our executive officers or key employees could materially adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and strategy, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. Messrs. Gillespie, McCrystle, and Mark are at-will employees, which means they may terminate their employment relationships with us at any time, and their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees. If we do not succeed in attracting well-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

***Our ability to increase our revenue depends on our ability to introduce successful new products and services. Our ongoing investments in developing products and services involve significant risks which could disrupt our current operations and may not produce the long-term benefits that we expect.***

We compete in rapidly evolving and highly competitive markets, and we expect competition to intensify further in the future with the emergence of new technologies and new market entrants. We face competition from new and established local and international players in the online marketing industry, traditional marketing providers such as TV, printed publications and radio, and online gambling operators who conduct extensive marketing activities of their own.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Our competitors may enjoy competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, substantially greater market share, large existing user bases, and substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources. These companies may use these advantages to offer services similar to ours at a lower price and respond more effectively than we do to new opportunities and customer demands.

To attract new visitors, we must offer and develop new features on a continuous basis and perform regular system updates. As a result, we have invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant resources in developing products and services to drive traffic to our platform and engage our visitors. For example, we have made considerable investments in our technology platform, including the Adge business intelligence system, the Origins publishing platform, the Genesis content management system, and the Elements advertiser management system. Our product development efforts may include significant changes to our existing products or new products that are unproven. Such investments may not prioritize short-term financial results and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distracting management and disrupting our current operations. We cannot assure that any resulting new or enhanced products and services will engage online gamblers and online gambling operators. We may fail to generate sufficient revenue, operating margin or other value to justify our investments in such products, thereby harming our ability to generate and increase revenue.

***An actual, alleged, or perceived security incident, inadvertent disclosure or breach of sensitive information, including confidential and personal information, we process, or of the security of our or our customers', vendors', or partners' networks and systems could be detrimental to our business, reputation, financial information and results of operations.***

Advances in technology, discoveries of new weaknesses and other developments with software generally used by the Internet community may increase the risk that we will suffer a security incident. As part of our business, we process certain personal, confidential and sensitive information. We may in the future fail to detect or prevent security incidents, inadvertent disclosure or breach of sensitive information, including from malware, ransomware, viruses, worms or similar threats for any number of reasons, such as our failure to enhance and expand our platform to reflect industry trends, new technologies and new operating environments, the complexity of the environment, network or systems of our clients, vendors, or partners. We, our customers, vendors or partners may experience such incidents due to data being misappropriated by a malicious insider or unauthorized party, such as employee error, rogue employee activity, or other unlawful or unauthorized acts. If these are successful, they may result in either threatened or actual exposure leading to unauthorized access, disclosure and misuse of sensitive information or other information regarding customers, vendors, partners, employees, or our company and business, and our technologies, systems and networks have been subject to attempted cyberattacks. If we experience any such incidents, we may incur significant costs in protecting against or remediating such incidents, which include investing in resources to address these incidents. We may not be able to remedy any incidents or incidental problems in a timely manner, or at all. To the extent potential customers, industry stakeholders or other third parties believe that the failure to detect or prevent any particular threat is a flaw or indicates that our platform is not secure our reputation and business would be harmed. Any real or perceived defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our platform or business, or any other failure of our platform to detect an incident, could result in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a loss of existing or potential customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delayed or lost revenue and adverse impacts to our business, financial condition and operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a delay in attaining, or the failure to attain, market acceptance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the expenditure of significant financial and research and development resources in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate, or work around errors or defects, and address and eliminate vulnerabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in resources, including devoted customer service and support, which could adversely affect our gross margins;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decrease in value to our reputation or brand; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• claims and litigation, regulatory inquiries, or investigations, enforcement actions, including fines, and other claims and liabilities, all of which may be costly and burdensome and further harm our reputation.

***We may be the target of a cybersecurity attack that could impact a portion of our information technology systems.***

We may be a target of a cybersecurity attack that could impact a portion of our information technology. For example, in September 2020, we experienced a security incident where unauthorized access to a cloud computing account occurred. During this incident, new cloud computing servers were deployed, which we

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

believe was in an attempt to mine Bitcoin. We quickly detected and stopped the unauthorized access and secured our systems by changing all passwords. We subsequently hired a third-party security firm that conducted an external security audit which identified a number of remediation points to further tighten security, all of which were resolved by the end of the reporting period. While this incident did not cause any material disruptions of our business and operations and had no material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the business, future cybersecurity attacks may have a material adverse effect.

We may incur losses associated with claims by third parties, as well as fines, penalties and other sanctions imposed by regulators relating to or arising from cybersecurity attacks, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations in the future. While we have implemented remediation points identified by our third-party security firm to address the constantly evolving threat landscape, we cannot provide assurance that our security frameworks and measures will be successful in preventing future cyberattacks. Further, the incident may have a negative impact on our reputation and cause customers, suppliers and other third parties with whom we maintain relationships to lose confidence in us. We are unable to definitively determine the impact to these relationships and whether we will need to engage in any activities to rebuild them. If customers lose confidence in us and we fail to rebuild these relationships, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially negatively impacted.

***Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our websites, apps, or platforms could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

It is critical to our success that online gamblers can access our platform at all times. Our systems may experience service interruptions or degradation or other performance problems because of peak usage times, hardware and software defects or malfunctions, distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, infrastructure changes, human error, natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, malware, or other events. Our systems also may be subject to break-ins and other intentional acts of vandalism, including by our own employees, independent contractors or other insiders. Some of our systems are not fully redundant and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities.

We may experience system failures and other events or conditions from time to time that could interrupt the availability, or reduce or affect the speed or functionality of, our platform. These system failures generally occur either as a result of software updates being deployed with unexpected errors or as a result of temporary infrastructure failures related to storage, network, or compute capacity being exhausted. These events have resulted in losses in revenue, though such losses have not been material to date. System failures in the future could result in significant losses of revenue. Further, in some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an appropriate period of time. A prolonged interruption in the availability or reduction in the availability, speed, or other functionality of our platform could adversely affect our business and reputation and could result in the loss of users.

***We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, other businesses, domain names, or technologies, which could divert management's attention and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our operating results, whether or not the acquisition is consummated. We may fail to acquire companies whose market power or technology could be important to the future success of our business.***

As part of our business strategy, we have previously acquired businesses and will continue to consider potential strategic transactions that we believe could complement or expand our product and service offering, broaden our geographic presence, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. For example, in the past, we have acquired certain websites and associated assets, including, in 2022, Roto Sports, Inc. ("Roto Sports"), owner and operator of RotoWire.com, a provider of expert fantasy sports news and advice; and NDC Media, owner and operator of BonusFinder.com, a leading gambling bonus comparison site; the Casinos.com domain; and domain portfolios consisting of more than 100 domains intended for targeting North American markets.

The acquisition of a business is accompanied by numerous risks, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of due diligence during the acquisition process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse short-term effects on reported operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential loss of key partners or key personnel in connection with, or as the result of, a transaction;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impairment of relationships with clients of the acquired business, or our own customers, partners or employees, as a result of any integration of operations or the expansion of our offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the recording of goodwill and intangible assets that will be subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the diversion of management's time and resources;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk of entering into markets or producing products where we have limited or no experience, including the integration or removal of the acquired or disposed products with or from our existing products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inability to properly implement or remediate internal controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company at businesses that prior to our acquisition were not subject to federal securities laws and may have lacked appropriate controls, procedures and policies.

Pursuit of future potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated.

***The acquisition of new businesses is costly and such acquisitions may not enhance our financial condition.***

Part of our growth strategy is to acquire businesses and identify and acquire assets and technologies that complement our business. The process to undertake a potential acquisition is time-consuming and costly. We expend significant resources to undertake business, financial, and legal due diligence on our potential acquisition target and there is no guarantee that we will acquire the company after completing due diligence.

Our acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or convertible debt securities, significant amortization expenses related to goodwill, and other intangible assets and exposure to undisclosed or potential liabilities of the acquired companies. To the extent that the goodwill arising from the acquisitions carried on the financial statements do not pass the annual goodwill impairment test, excess goodwill will be charged to, and reduce, future earnings.

***We may not be able to effectively integrate previously acquired businesses, which could materially adversely affect our growth.***

We may be unsuccessful in integrating our acquired businesses or any additional business we may acquire in the future, and we may fail to acquire companies whose market power or technology could be important to the future success of our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from any acquired business due to a number of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition, such as transaction-related lawsuits or claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure or material delay in closing a transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incurrence of acquisition-related costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of management resources from existing business operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory uncertainties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• weak, ineffective, or incomplete data privacy compliance and strategies of an acquired company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• harm to our existing business relationships with online gambling operators as a result of the acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• harm to our brand and reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential loss of our key employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in retaining customers or key employees of an acquired company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in integrating the technologies, operations, existing contracts, and employees of an acquired company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• use of substantial financial resources to consummate the acquisition.

If we fail to address the foregoing risks or other problems encountered in connection with past or future acquisitions of businesses, or if we fail to successfully integrate such acquisitions or investments, our business,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, acquisitions also could result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results.

***If we fail to manage our rapid growth effectively, our brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

Since our founding in 2006, we have experienced rapid growth in the number of customers, the number of websites we own, our geographic reach, and our operations. We expect to continue to experience growth in these areas in the future. This growth has imposed, and may continue to impose, significant responsibilities on our management, including the need to identify, recruit and integrate additional employees with relevant expertise, expand the scope of our current technological platform, and invest in improved controls over technology, financial reporting and information disclosure. If we fail to manage the growth of our business and operations effectively, the quality of our service and the efficiency of our operations could suffer, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, our rapid growth may make it difficult to evaluate our future performance. Our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to model future growth. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our company as it grows, or if we are not able to accurately forecast future growth, our business would be negatively impacted.

***We rely on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store to offer and promote our apps. If such platform providers change their terms and conditions to our detriment, our business will suffer.***

We offer a number of apps through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. We are subject to the policies and terms of service of these third-party platforms. Each platform provider has broad discretion to change and interpret its terms of service and other policies with respect to us and other developers, and those changes may be unfavorable to us. A platform provider may also add fees associated with access to and use of its platform, alter how we advertise on the platform, or limit the use of personal information for advertising purposes. Any limit or discontinuation of our access to any platform could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***The impact of economic conditions, including the resulting effect on consumer spending, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

Our performance is subject to economic conditions and their impact on the levels of consumer spending. Demand for entertainment and leisure activities, including online gambling, has in the past, and could in the future, decline during periods when discretionary consumer spending declines, including during economic downturns, inflation, geopolitical crises, major central bank policy actions including interest rate increases, public health crises, or other factors, when consumers generally earn less disposable income. Changes in discretionary consumer spending or consumer preferences are driven by factors beyond our control, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unfavorable changes in general economic conditions, including recessions, economic slowdowns, and periods of inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fears of recession, higher inflation, and changes in consumer confidence in the economy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sustained high levels of unemployment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in taxes, including gambling taxes or fees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• high energy, fuel and other commodity costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential for bank failures or other financial crises; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• terrorist attacks, wars, health crises, or other global events.

In addition, adverse economic conditions could impact our ability to access the capital markets and/or credit markets to raise funds for general corporate purposes or as consideration for mergers and acquisitions.

During periods of economic contraction, our revenues may decrease while most of our costs remain fixed and some costs may even increase, resulting in decreased earnings.

***The impact of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 may adversely affect our future financial condition, and results of operations.***

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was signed into law by President Biden. The IRA includes a number of changes to existing U.S. federal tax law including, among other things, a new corporate alternative minimum tax. These provisions are effective for tax years beginning in the fiscal year 2023.

While we are currently assessing the impact of the IRA and will continue to analyze as further guidance is issued, it may have an adverse effect on our future financial condition, and results of operations.

***Consolidation among the online gambling operators may reduce demand for our products and profitability.***

Much of the demand for our products derives from the desire of online gamblers to switch between different online gambling websites. The revenues of an online gambling website from a particular online gambler are usually highest in the first month after that online gambler signs up to the website. Therefore, online gamblers switching between online gambling operators are likely to bring higher revenues to us. A consolidation of the online gambling sector could significantly reduce the ability and desire of online gamblers to switch between online gambling operators, thereby potentially reducing our expected revenues. Furthermore, consolidation among online gambling operators may reduce competition for use of our product and therefore reduce our pricing power in the marketplace. Any significant move towards consolidation within the online gambling industry could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Negative events or negative media coverage relating to online gambling may adversely impact our ability to retain or attract online gamblers, which could have an adverse impact on our business.***

The online gambling industry is subject to negative publicity relating to perceptions of underage gambling, exploitation of vulnerable customers, and the historic link between the gambling industry to criminal activities. For example, during 2022, large media outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and CNBC published negative articles or news reports re: the online gambling industry. As a service provider to the online gambling industry, our reputation can be negatively affected and, accordingly, significantly influence our business. In addition, a negative shift in the perception of online gambling by the public or by policymakers, lobbyists or others could affect future legislation of online gambling, which could cause jurisdictions to abandon proposals to legalize online gambling, thereby limiting the number of jurisdictions in which we can operate. Furthermore, illegal betting activity 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 gambling in jurisdictions in which we currently operate. Such negative publicity could also diminish confidence in, and the use of, our platform and result in decreased revenue or slower customer growth rates, which could seriously harm our business.

***We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the services of certain banks or financial systems and our business could be materially adversely affected.***

Although financial institutions are permitted to provide services to us and others in the online gambling industry, certain banks may be hesitant to offer services to us because we operate and are service providers for iGaming and sports betting businesses in certain jurisdictions. Consequently, we may encounter difficulties in establishing and maintaining banking relationships in certain jurisdictions with a full scope of services and generating market rate interest. If we were unable to maintain these bank accounts, it could make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges which could materially adversely impact our business. Similarly, some customers may be unable to access the services of banks or the financial system, whether due to banks' concerns with respect to providing services to the iGaming and sports betting businesses in general or changes of laws and regulations that might limit our customers' ability to access the financial system. If some of our customers were unable to access the service of banks or the financial system, we would not be able to collect payment due from such customers in time or at all, which could materially adversely impact our business and financial performance.

In addition, a deterioration of conditions in worldwide credit markets could limit our ability to obtain external financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures. We may also experience losses on our holdings of cash and investments due to failures of financial institutions and other parties. Difficult economic conditions may

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

also result in a higher rate of losses on our accounts receivable due to credit defaults, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

***Failure to meet ESG expectations or standards could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, or share price.***

In recent years, there has been an increased focus from stakeholders on ESG matters, including greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risks, renewable energy, water stewardship, waste management, diversity, equality and inclusion, responsible sourcing and supply chain, human rights, and social responsibility. Evolving stakeholder expectations and our efforts to manage these issues, report on them, and accomplish our goals present numerous operational, regulatory, reputational, financial, legal, and other risks, any of which could have a material adverse impact, including on our reputation and share price.

Such risks and uncertainties include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reputational harm, including damage to our relationships with customers, suppliers, investors, governments, or other stakeholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the success of our collaborations with third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased risk of litigation, investigations, or regulatory enforcement action and associated costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unfavorable ESG ratings or investor sentiment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of resources and increased costs to control, assess, and report on ESG metrics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to and increased cost of capital; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse impacts on our share price.

Any failure, or perceived failure, to meet evolving stakeholder ESG expectations and industry standards or could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or share price.

***Risks Related to Government Regulation***

***The online gambling industry is heavily regulated. Changes to the regulatory framework in the jurisdictions in which we operate could restrict our ability to advertise or harm our customers' business, which could in turn negatively affect our financial performance.***

As an online gambling affiliate, our principal customers are online gambling operators. Any regulatory development that could harm the financial performance or otherwise adversely affect online gambling operators could negatively affect our performance.

The regulatory framework for online gambling is complex and varies across the jurisdictions in which we operate. In some jurisdictions, online gambling regulations are subject to debate and continuous development.

In December 2020, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) in the United Kingdom began its review of the current gambling legislation in the United Kingdom, the Gambling Act 2005, which specifically included a directive to evaluate a number of areas, including stake and loss limits, advertising and bonuses, and the role of the U.K. Gambling Commission. This review was concluded in 2022, but the White Paper containing the proposed regulatory reforms has yet to be published by the U.K. government and is unlikely to be published until the first half of 2023. The DCMS also launched an investigation in early 2023 to review the U.K.'s current gambling policy, as well as the U.K. government's progress, or lack thereof, toward amending U.K. gambling laws to make them fit for the future. A committee inquiry will review a range of gambling-related issues and is also inviting interested parties to provide written evidence to help it achieve its goals. The U.K. Committee for Advertising Practice published new advertising restrictions which took effect on October 1, 2022 and prohibit gambling operators from featuring celebrities in their advertisements, who are likely to have strong appeal to persons under the age of 18. The ban includes athletes, celebrities, and social media influencers, as well as advertising on sports team uniforms and in stadiums. Given that the White Paper has yet to be published, the new advertising rules have only recently been put into effect, and the investigation has recently commenced, it is difficult to predict at this stage what impact these matters may have on our business. Furthermore, in June 2020, the U.K. All-Party Parliamentary Group for Gambling Related Harm recommended that the U.K. government ban all forms of gambling advertising. If this ban is implemented and our business falls within the definition of gambling advertising, our business in the United Kingdom would be blocked.

In June 2021, Canada passed Bill C-218 which allows individual provinces and territories to decide how to regulate single-event sports betting within their jurisdictions. In Ontario, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario released its Standards for Internet Gaming to govern the province's new online gaming market. The regulations set out certain technical requirements and advertising restrictions. The launch of the province's new market for online gambling and sports bets was completed in April 2022. As Ontario's new market has only recently launched and most other provinces in Canada have not yet determined their approach to this regulation, we cannot yet fully determine or predict the impact of this regulation on our business in Canada.

In July 2021, Germany's new Interstate Treaty on Gambling, or ISTG 2021, came into effect. ISTG 2021 implemented certain new advertising rules that have had a negative effect on our business in Germany. The new federal gambling regulatory authority, Glücksspielbehörde ("GGL"), which officially began its role on January 1, 2023, began IP and payment blocking of unlicensed offshore operators and their affiliates. As the new rules are still being interpreted and the German federal and state regulatory authorities, including GGL, are still only at an early implementation stage, we cannot yet predict the long-term impact on our business. In the event these rules continue to limit our marketing activities in that jurisdiction, then our business might be negatively affected in Germany.

In October 2021, the Netherlands' commercial online gambling market launched with a limited number of operators awarded licenses to offer games of chance via the internet. The Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security confirmed in March 2022 that it was preparing legislation to introduce further restrictions on gambling advertising. The announcement followed the approval of a motion to ban "untargeted advertisements for high-risk games of chance" by the Dutch House of Representatives. In July 2022, the Dutch government released details of new restrictions on untargeted advertising. As a result of the passage of this legislation, operators have not been able to advertise on radio, television, or in public spaces since January 2023. Sponsorship of events and television programs will be banned beginning in January 2024, and sponsorship of sports team's venues and stadiums will be banned beginning in January 2025. Given that the full impact of these new regulatory measures is yet to be determined, it is difficult at this stage to predict how it will affect our business.

In January 2022, the Swedish government finalized legislation that would require B2B gambling suppliers to apply for licenses to operate in the market. The bill also set a new standard for gambling advertising which would now come under "adjusted moderation" rules. The new classification would require that the advertisement of games be adapted to match the specific addiction risks of different products. Given that this is new legislation that has only recently been implemented, it is difficult to predict at this stage what impact this may have on our business.

In December 2022, the Irish government published draft legislation to modernize gambling regulation in Ireland, including the proposed establishment of a gambling regulator. The Gambling Regulation Bill has begun the customary parliamentary stages to be passed and signed into law, which is expected to occur by the middle of 2023. Furthermore, the establishment of the new Irish Gambling Authority to regulate the gambling industry in Ireland is expected to take effect at the same time as the new legislation is passed into law. Given that this is the initial stage of the implementation of a new regulatory regime it is difficult to predict at this stage what impact this may have on our business.

We cannot predict whether, in the future, similar regulations will be implemented in a market where we operate or the impact of these regulations on our business. In addition, online gambling operators and their B2B providers, such as online gambling operator affiliates (directly and/or directly by way of their commercial relationship with online gambling 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. Tax authorities may interpret laws originally enacted for mature industries and apply it to newer industries, such as online gambling. From time to time, various legislators and other government officials have proposed and adopted changes in tax laws, or in the administration or interpretation of such laws, affecting the gambling industry. In addition, any worsening of economic conditions and the large number of jurisdictions with significant current or projected budget deficits, many of which were made worse due to COVID-19, could intensify the efforts of governments to raise revenues through increases in gambling 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.

As the legal framework for the online gambling industry is constantly developing, we are unable to predict whether or when additional restrictions will be applied to online gambling operators in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any development such as the above-mentioned could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

***If the U.K. Gambling Commission implements a proposed "single customer view" policy, it could materially adversely affect our financial performance, business and operations.***

The U.K. Gambling Commission has proposed a "single customer view" policy that would give gambling operators information about a customer's activity across all operators, and force operators to put restrictions in place for customers who lose an unsafe amount of money with one operator from pursuing further gambling activities with another operator.

If this policy is implemented, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, business and operations since we rely on customers utilizing multiple operators.

***Our failure to obtain or maintain applicable licenses or approvals, or otherwise comply with applicable requirements, in the United States, could adversely affect our business and our operations.***

As an online gambling affiliate, we may be required to obtain licenses or approvals to operate in most but not all jurisdictions in the United States where we conduct business. As of December 31, 2022, we have obtained licenses or approvals to provide marketing services to regulated operators in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, Arizona, Michigan, Louisiana, and Maryland. We are not required to obtain licenses or approvals in Iowa, Wyoming, Connecticut, New York, Arkansas or Kansas where we conduct business. In January 2023, we commenced operations in Ohio, and in March 2023 we commenced operations in Massachusetts. Some of these approvals are subject to renewal, a potentially time-consuming process. Our delay or failure to renew licenses or approvals in any jurisdiction may prevent us from distributing our product offerings, increasing our customer base and/or generating revenues.

Currently, we are not required to obtain licenses or approvals to conduct business in the jurisdictions outside of the United States. However, the laws and regulations relating to online gambling are constantly evolving. We cannot predict if or when laws and regulations in these jurisdictions will be changed and to what degree such changes will have an impact on online gambling affiliates. Any regulatory development that would restrict or prevent us from conducting our business activities in any given territory could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

We expect to continue to expand our operations to additional U.S. states and to expand our international operations. Any new markets or countries that we attempt to enter may not be receptive. For example, we may not be able to expand further in some markets if we are unable to obtain applicable licenses or approvals. If we are unable to effectively develop and operate within these new markets, or if our competitors are able to successfully penetrate geographic markets that we cannot access or where we face other restrictions, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be impaired.

***Certain U.S. states have proposed implementing restrictions on the use of the customary commission-based compensation structures for advertising agreements online gambling operators enter into with online gambling affiliates, and if such restrictions are successfully passed in multiple key U.S. states, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, our operations, and our financial condition.***

In February 2023, Massachusetts passed regulations and New York proposed rules that would restrict online gambling operators from entering into agreements with third parties, which includes online gambling affiliates such as the Group, to conduct advertising, marketing, or branding on behalf of sports-wagering operators when compensation to the affiliate is dependent on, or related to, the number of customers or amount wagered.

While the Massachusetts Gaming Commission voted in March 2023 to permit CPA and revenue-sharing agreements between online gambling operators and online gambling affiliates, the proposed rules in New York are still being considered, and there is no guarantee that regulators in other U.S. states may propose similar rules or regulations in the future.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

If multiple key U.S. states were to implement such advertising restrictions on agreements between online gambling operators and online gambling affiliates, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, our operations, and our financial condition.

***We may be subject to legislation that limits or restricts the marketing of online gambling services and we could fail to comply with such legislation In Europe.***

As service providers to online gambling operators, online gambling affiliates are generally not subject to the same laws and regulations governing online gambling operators. However, in many jurisdictions, we are obligated to comply with the regulations and standards around advertising in general. For example, the Advertising Standards Authority in the United Kingdom prescribes certain standards for online and affiliate marketing in general as well as specific policies around gambling. In the United States, the American Gaming Association, or the AGA, has produced a Responsible Marketing Code for Sports Wagering which its members have pledged to follow. We are not a member of the AGA currently but should we join in the future, we would be required to comply with their marketing codes. The Irish Labour Party introduced in February 2021 the Gambling (Prohibition of Advertising) Bill 2021, which in its current form, could prohibit online gambling affiliates from providing digital marketing services. While this legislation has not yet been progressed through the relevant legislative stages for it to become law, if such law were to pass, our business in Ireland will be blocked. As the Gambling Regulation Bill 2022 has been introduced in the interim, it is more probable it will supersede the Gambling (Prohibition of Advertising) Bill 2021. However, as matters stand, the Gambling (Prohibition of Advertising) Bill 2021 remains an active legislative bill and its potential impact requires continued monitoring. In addition, we are subject to general marketing legislation in all jurisdictions where we operate. In the future, we may be subject to additional regulatory requirements aimed at the promotion of online gambling services, for example if we enter new geographical markets or if regulations are expanded to include our operations. Regulatory compliance is costly and time-consuming. We have dedicated significant time and financial resources to monitor our regulatory compliance and will continue to in the future. However, as we operate more than 50 websites in 15 markets and continue to grow our business globally, we, from time to time, may fail to maintain all websites as fully compliant with marketing laws and regulations. This could result in penalties or other sanctions from relevant authorities, lead to increased costs or otherwise have a negative impact on our operations.

***We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, data protection and information security. If we are unable to comply with these, we may be subject to governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity.***

We collect and process data about our customers as part of our "know your customer" (or kyc) procedures. We also collect and process minimal personal data about referred players, NDCs, and other individuals when they create user accounts on our websites or register for our newsletters. We further collect and process personal data about individuals who participate in our American Gambling Awards (e.g., nominees, winners) and generally when we perform corporate administrative functions (e.g., information about employees and job applicants) for various business purposes, including marketing and promotional purposes. The collection, use and processing of such information about individuals are governed by data privacy laws and regulations enacted in the European Union, United Kingdom, United States (federal and state), and other jurisdictions around the world. These data privacy laws and regulations are complex, continue to evolve, and on occasion may be inconsistent between jurisdictions leading to uncertainty in interpreting such laws and it is possible that these laws, regulations and requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing information processing practices, and many of these laws are significantly litigated and/or subject to regulatory enforcement.

One implication of this is that various federal, state, and foreign legislative or regulatory bodies may enact or adopt new or additional laws and regulations concerning data privacy, data retention, data transfer, and data protection. Such laws may continue to restrict or dictate how we collect, maintain, combine and disseminate information and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Most of the jurisdictions in which we operate have established their own data privacy and security legal frameworks. For instance, in the European Economic Area, or the E.E.A., we are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, or the GDPR; and in the United Kingdom, we are subject to the U.K. data

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

protection regime consisting primarily of the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation, the U.K. GDPR, and the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018, each of which imposes strict requirements on covered processing and provides for robust regulatory enforcement and sanctions for non-compliance. The GDPR and the U.K. GDPR regimes enable competent authorities to issue fines up to the greater of €20 million/£17.5 million, or 4% of global annual turnover. Such penalties are in addition to any civil litigation claims by data controllers, data processors, customers and data subjects. In addition, in July 2020, the Court of Justice of the E.U., or the CJEU, invalidated the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield (a mechanism for the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States) and also indicated that reliance on standard contractual clauses (another such transfer mechanism) alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances. We previously relied on our E.U.-U.S Privacy Shield certification and in some cases the Privacy Shield certification(s) of our vendors and partners for the purposes of transferring personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States in compliance with the GDPR's data export conditions. We are monitoring the developments following the CJEU decision as well as implementing the standard contractual clauses and reviewing other mechanisms for transfers from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, including to the United States. In December 2022, the European Commission published a draft decision endorsing a new framework, Privacy Shield 2.0, for transferring personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States, which may be in effect by spring 2023. We are also subject to evolving E.U. and U.K. privacy laws on electronic marketing and cookies. In recent years, European lawmakers and regulators have expressed concern over electronic marketing and the use of nonessential cookies, web beacons and similar technology for online behavioral advertising, or tracking technologies. This has led to an effort to replace the current rules on e-marketing (currently set out in the 2002 Privacy & Electronic Communication Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended, or the ePrivacy Directive, and national implementing laws) with a new ePrivacy Regulation. When implemented, the new ePrivacy Regulation is expected to alter rules on tracking technologies and significantly increase fining powers to the same levels as the GDPR.

Some recent developments in the United States include the enactment of the Nevada Security and Privacy of Personal Information, or the NSPPI, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or the CCPA, which was recently expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act, or the CPRA, which was passed as a ballot initiative in November 2020 and came into effect on January 1, 2023. Further, Virginia recently enacted the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, or the VCDPA, another comprehensive state privacy law, that became effective on January 1, 2023. The CCPA, CPRA, and VCDPA may increase our compliance costs and potential liability, particularly in the event of a data breach, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, including how we use personal information, our financial condition, the results of our operations or prospects.

We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant resources to comply with the privacy laws and regulations to which we are subject. Failure to meet any of the requirements of these laws and regulations could result in significant penalties or legal liability, adverse publicity and/or damage to our reputation, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***The international scope of our operations and our corporate and financing structure may expose us to potentially adverse tax consequences.***

We are subject to taxation in, and to the tax laws and regulations of, multiple jurisdictions due to the international scope of our operations and our corporate and financing structure. We are also subject to intercompany pricing laws including those relating to the flow of funds between our subsidiaries pursuant to, for example, purchase agreements, licensing agreements, or other arrangements. Adverse developments in such laws or regulations, or any change in position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of these laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction or our inability to comply with all applicable requirements of these laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the application of withholding tax, social security tax obligations, value added tax, goods and services tax, sales taxes and other non-income taxes is not always clear and we may be subject to tax audits relating to such withholding, social security obligations, or non-income taxes. Further, the tax or labor authorities in any applicable jurisdiction may disagree with the positions we have taken or intend to take regarding the tax treatment or characterization of any of our activities or transactions, including the tax treatment or characterization of our tax residency, indebtedness or the transactions. If any applicable tax authorities successfully challenge the tax treatment or characterization of any of these, it could result in the disallowance of deductions; the imposition of additional or new taxation in certain jurisdictions; the imposition of withholding taxes on internal deemed transfers or in general, capital gains taxes, including on transfers that

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

have been made and/or deemed to have been made in connection with the transactions; or otherwise, the reallocation of income, penalties; or other consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our failure to comply with trade restrictions such as economic sanctions and export controls could negatively impact our reputation and results of operations.***

We are subject to trade restrictions, including economic sanctions and export controls, imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations, which prohibit or restrict transactions involving certain designated persons and certain designated countries or territories, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and the Crimea Region of Ukraine. In addition, our operations may be subject to additional regulatory and political risk and additional compliance costs in connection with sanctions and other trade controls imposed by the United States and other governments in response to Russia's military operations in Ukraine. These government measures include export controls restricting certain exports. We may also be subject to increased cyberattacks as a result of the military conflict. Relevant governments may express an interest in pursuing a diplomatic solution to these issues and in holding negotiations regarding a cessation of military operations in Ukraine, but we cannot be certain that these negotiations will occur, continue, or succeed in forestalling additional hostilities or additional trade controls.

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, debarment from government contracts and other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive. We maintain policies and procedures designed to comply with these laws and regulations. As part of our business, we may, from time to time, engage in limited sales and transactions involving certain countries that are targets of economic sanctions, provided that such sales and transactions are authorized pursuant to applicable economic sanctions laws and regulations. However, we cannot predict the nature, scope, or effect of future regulatory requirements, including changes that may affect existing regulatory authorizations, and we cannot predict the manner in which existing laws and regulations may be administered or interpreted. In addition, any perceived or actual breach of compliance by us with respect to applicable laws, rules, and regulations could have a significant impact on our reputation; could cause us to lose existing customers; prevent us from obtaining new customers; negatively impact investor sentiment about our company; require us to expend significant funds to remedy problems caused by violations and to avert further violations; and expose us to legal risk and potential liability, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our failure to comply with the anti-corruption laws of the United States and various international jurisdictions could 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 includes the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"), and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 (the "U.K. Bribery Act"), as well as the laws of each of the countries where we do business. These laws and regulations may restrict our operations, trade practices, investment decisions, and partnering activities. The FCPA and the U.K. Bribery Act prohibit us and our officers, directors, employees, and business partners acting on our behalf, including agents, or representatives, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing, or providing anything of value, directly or indirectly, to foreign government officials for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. The U.K. Bribery Act also prohibits non-governmental commercial bribery, soliciting or accepting bribes, and "facilitation payments," or small payments to low-level government officials to expedite routine approvals. We also 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 government officials responsible for evaluating and implementing legislative and regulatory changes relevant to our industry and 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 some jurisdictions have been perceived to have elevated levels of public corruption. Our global operations expose us to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, anti-corruption laws and regulations.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Other companies, including some that may compete with us, may not be subject to the prohibitions listed above and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. We are in the process of developing policies and procedures reasonably 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 officers, directors, employees, and business partners acting on our behalf for which we may be held responsible, and any such violation could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations. 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. Responding to any enforcement action or internal investigation related to alleged misconduct may result in a significant diversion of management's attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees.

***Risks Related to Intellectual Property***

***If we fail to protect or enforce our rights in our proprietary technology, brands or other intellectual property, our competitive position and our business could be materially adversely affected.***

We primarily rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, and other intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. However, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken or will take to protect and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights will be successful. We currently hold rights to the Gambling.com domain name and various other related domain names in multiple jurisdictions. If we lose the ability to use a domain name, whether due to trademark claims, failure to renew the applicable registration, or any other cause, we may be forced to market our solutions under a new domain name, which could cause us substantial harm, or to incur significant expense to purchase rights to the domain name in question. In addition, our competitors could attempt to capitalize on our brand recognition by using domain names similar to ours. We may fail to prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that are similar to our brand. Protecting and enforcing our rights in our domain names may require litigation, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention, and ultimately may not be successful.

We also have certain registered trademarks that are important to our brand, such as the combined mark, Gambling.com. If we fail to protect or enforce our rights under our trademarks, we may lose the ability to use the trademarks or prevent others from using them, which could adversely harm our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we have invested significant resources in developing our Adge business intelligence platform, Origins publishing platform, Genesis content management system, and Elements advertiser management system. All are essential to our business and ability to compete successfully with other online gambling affiliates. Unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our platform or obtain and use information that we consider proprietary. In addition, unauthorized parties may also attempt, or successfully endeavor, to obtain our intellectual property, confidential information, and trade secrets through various methods, including through cybersecurity attacks, which could adversely affect our business. Our competitors or other third parties may also independently develop similar or competing technology or duplicate our solutions and services, which could harm our competitive position.

We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent infringement, misappropriation or other violations of our intellectual property rights, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as they do in the United States. Further, we may be required to enforce our intellectual property or other proprietary rights through litigation, which, regardless of success, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention.

***We may face potential liability and expense for legal claims alleging that the content on our platform or the operation of our business infringes intellectual property rights of third parties, who may assert claims against us for unauthorized use of such rights.***

On our publishing platform, we publish both our own content and content from third parties. We cannot be certain that the published content on our platform and the operation of our business do not, or will not, infringe or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties. Third parties have asserted, and may in the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

future assert claims against us alleging that we are infringing or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights, including claims for copyright or trademark infringement, or other claims based on the nature and content of the material that we publish or distribute. These claims, whether or not successful, could divert management time and attention away from our business and harm our reputation and financial condition. In addition, the outcome of litigation is uncertain, and third parties asserting claims could secure a judgment awarding substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief against us, which could require us to rebrand, redesign, or reengineer our platforms or websites, and/or effectively block our ability to distribute or market our products and services.

***Our use of "open source" software in our applications could subject our proprietary software to general release, adversely affect our ability to sell our services and subject us to possible litigation, claims or proceedings.***

We may use open source software in connection with the development and deployment of our solutions and services, and we expect to continue to use open source software in the future. Companies that use open source software in connection with their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the use of open source software and/ or compliance with open source license terms. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software or claiming noncompliance with open source licensing terms. Some open source software licenses may require users who distribute software containing or linked to open source software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of the open source code to their licensees, which could include proprietary code of the user. In such cases, the open source software license may restrict users from charging fees to licensees for use of their software. While we monitor the use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would subject our proprietary source code to these requirements and restrictions, such use could inadvertently occur, in part because open source license terms are often ambiguous and have generally not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts.

Further, in addition to risks related to license requirements, use of certain open source software carries greater technical and legal risks than does the use of third-party commercial software. For example, open source software is generally provided without any support or warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement or the quality of the code, including the existence of security vulnerabilities. To the extent that our platform depends upon the successful operation of open source software, any undetected errors or defects in open source software that we use could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our systems and injure our reputation. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise our platform. Any of the foregoing risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Risks Related to Our Status as a Non-U.S. Company***

***The rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights typically offered to shareholders of a U.S. corporation.***

We are incorporated in the Channel Island of Jersey under the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended, or the Jersey Companies Law. The rights of holders of ordinary shares are governed by Jersey law, including the provisions of the Jersey Companies Law, and by our memorandum and articles of association. These rights differ in certain respects from the rights of shareholders typically found in U.S. corporations. See "Item 10B. Additional Information - Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation -Differences in Corporate Law" in our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-257403), as amended, originally filed with the SEC on June 25, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC on July 23, 2021 (the "F-1 Registration Statement"), under the headings "Description of Share Capital" for a description of the principal differences between the provisions of the Jersey Companies Law applicable to us and the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to shareholders' rights and protections.

***It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us or our directors and officers outside the United States, or to assert U.S. securities law claims outside of the United States.***

Several of our directors and executive officers are not residents of the United States, and the majority of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for investors

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

to effect service of process upon us within the United States or other jurisdictions, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. See "Item 10B. Additional Information - Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation - Enforceability of Civil Liabilities" in the F-1 Registration Statement. Additionally, it may be difficult for a shareholder to assert U.S. securities law claims in actions originally instituted outside of the U.S. Foreign courts may refuse to hear a U.S. securities law claim because foreign courts may not be the most appropriate forums to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that the law of the jurisdiction in which the foreign court resides, and not U.S. law, is applicable to the claim. Further, if U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process and certain matters of procedure would still be governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the foreign court resides.

In particular, investors should be aware of the uncertainty as to whether the courts of Jersey would recognize and enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or management predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or entertain original actions brought in courts of Jersey against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any states in the United States. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing a judgment against us, a shareholder may not be able to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.

***Because most of our material agreements are governed by foreign laws, we may not be able to enforce our rights within a foreign jurisdiction, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.***

Foreign laws govern most of our material agreements. We may fail to enforce the terms of our material agreements and remedies may not be available outside of a foreign jurisdiction. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The judiciaries in certain foreign countries may be relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. Our inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our material agreements could result in a significant loss of business and business opportunities.

***Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and volatility in global currency markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

While our reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar, a significant part of our revenues is denominated in Euros and GBP and a significant part of our operating expenses are denominated in Euros. Consequently, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause our revenues and expenses to fluctuate and may impact our profitability, cash flows and our results generally. These risks related to exchange rate fluctuations and currency volatility may increase in the future as our operations outside the United States continue to expand. For example, during 2022, the value of the Euro fell to be almost equivalent to the U.S. dollar. We have not traditionally used foreign exchange hedging to protect our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, and do not expect to put in place such hedging. Consequently, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

***Our international operations involve additional risks, and our exposure to these risks will increase as our business continues to expand.***

We operate in a number of jurisdictions and intend to continue to expand our global presence. International operations are subject to the legal, political, and regulatory requirements and economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which they are conducted. Risks inherent to international operations include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtaining any required government approvals, permits, licenses or other authorizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with various laws and regulatory requirements relating to anti-corruption, antitrust or competition, economic and trade sanctions, data content, data protection and privacy, employment and labor laws and health and safety;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified employees in certain international markets, as well as managing staffing and operations due to increased complexity, distance, time zones, language and cultural differences;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in enforcing agreements, judgments, and arbitration awards in various legal systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inability to obtain, maintain or enforce our intellectual property rights; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exposure to local economic or political instability.

We believe that our overall success as a global business depends on our ability to succeed in different legal, regulatory, economic, social, and political situations and conditions. We may not be able to develop and implement effective policies and strategies in each jurisdiction where we may conduct operations or do business in the future.

***As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from a number of rules under the U.S. securities laws and are permitted to file less information with the SEC than a U.S. domestic public company. This may limit the information available to holders of our ordinary shares.***

As a "foreign private issuer," we are not subject to all the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the United States. For example, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act, including the U.S. proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of our securities. Moreover, while we submit quarterly interim consolidated financial data to the SEC under cover of the SEC's Form 6-K, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. domestic public companies are required and are not required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning us than there would be if we were a U.S. domestic public company.

***As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to and we do, follow certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq's corporate governance standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we were required to comply fully with the Nasdaq corporate governance standards.***

As a foreign private issuer listed on Nasdaq, we are subject to Nasdaq's corporate governance standards. However, Nasdaq rules permit foreign private issuers such as us to follow our home country corporate governance practices instead of Nasdaq's corporate governance standards as long as notification is provided to Nasdaq of the intention to take advantage of such exemptions. Certain corporate governance practices in Jersey, which is our home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Other than as set forth in the section of this annual report titled "Item 16G. Corporate Governance," we currently intend to comply with the corporate governance listing standards of Nasdaq to the extent possible under Jersey law. However, we may choose to change such practices to follow additional home country practices in the future.

As a result of the accommodations for foreign private issuers, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under Nasdaq's corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. For an overview of our corporate governance practices, see "Item 16G. Corporate Governance."

***We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.***

We are a "foreign private issuer," as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. Under Rule 405, 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.

In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if a majority of our shareholders, directors or management are U.S. citizens or residents and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. Although we have elected to comply with certain U.S. regulatory provisions, our

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

loss of foreign private issuer status would make such provisions mandatory. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher. If we are not a foreign private issuer, we will be required to file periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. For example, the annual report on Form 10-K requires domestic issuers to prepare U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles financial statements be filed on a more accelerated timeframe than a Form 20-F, and disclose executive compensation information on an individual basis with specific disclosure regarding the domestic compensation philosophy, objectives, annual total compensation (base salary, bonus, and equity compensation) and potential payments in connection with change in control, retirement, death or disability. Conversely, the annual report on Form 20-F permits foreign private issuers to disclose compensation information on an aggregate basis. We will also have to file Form 10-Qs each quarter and mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors, and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We may also be required to modify certain of our policies to comply with good governance practices associated with U.S. domestic issuers. Such conversion and modifications will involve additional costs. In addition, we may lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements on U.S. stock exchanges that are available to foreign private issuers.

***U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares could be subject to material adverse tax consequences if we are considered a Passive Foreign Investment Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes.***

There is a risk that we will be classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in a reduction in the after-tax return to U.S. Holders (as defined below under "Item 10. Additional Information – Taxation – Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations") of our ordinary shares and may cause a reduction in the value of our ordinary shares. A corporation is classified as a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is "passive income" or (ii) at least 50% of the average quarterly value of all its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.

For this purpose, passive income generally includes among other things, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, annuities, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.

Based on the projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, we do not believe we were a PFIC for our most recent taxable year, and we do not expect to become a PFIC for our current taxable year or in the foreseeable future, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a U.S. court could determine that we are or were a PFIC in any past, current, or future taxable years. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis applying principles and methodologies which in some circumstances are unclear and subject to varying interpretation. If we were classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares could be subject to greater U.S. income tax liability than might otherwise apply, imposition of U.S. income tax in advance of when tax would otherwise apply and additional tax filing requirements that would not otherwise apply. The PFIC rules are complex and a U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares should consult its own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to it in its particular circumstances. See "Item 10. Additional Information – Taxation— Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations."

***Risks Related to Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares***

***The trading price of our ordinary shares has been and will likely continue to be highly volatile.***

The trading price of our ordinary shares has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Since our IPO in July 2021, the trading price of our ordinary shares has ranged from $6.72 to $16.70 through December 31, 2022. The market price of our ordinary shares may fluctuate or decline significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, in addition to other factors described in "Item 3. Key Information – Risk Factors," the following items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our operating and financial performance and prospects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the public's reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements, and our filings with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in, or failure to meet, earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our ordinary shares or the stock of other companies in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure of research analysts to cover our ordinary shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strategic actions by us, our customers, or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased competition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• material litigation or government investigations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• default on any indebtedness we may incur;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in general conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from war, health crises, incidents of terrorism, natural disasters, severe weather, or responses to such events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales of ordinary shares by us or members of our management team;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the granting or exercise of employee stock options or other equity awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• volume of trading in our ordinary shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the realization of any other risks described under section "Item 3. Key Information – Risk Factors."

In addition, in recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including companies in the end-markets we serve. The changes frequently appear to occur without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies. Therefore, the price of our ordinary shares could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us or our business, and these fluctuations could materially reduce our share price and cause a shareholder to lose all or part of its investment. Further, in the past, market fluctuations and price declines in a company's stock have led to securities class action litigations. If such a suit were to arise, it could have a substantial cost and divert our resources regardless of the outcome.

***An active, liquid, and orderly market for our ordinary shares may not exist or be sustained. A shareholder may be unable to sell its ordinary shares at or above the price it bought them for.***

Our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "GAMB". However, we cannot assure a shareholder that an active, liquid, and orderly trading market for our ordinary shares will exist or be sustained, which could affect your ability to sell its ordinary shares.

***Our chairman of the board is able to exert significance influence over our company, and his interest may be different from or conflict with that of our other shareholders.***

As of March 16, 2023, Mark Blandford, our chairman of the board, beneficially owned approximately 35% of our ordinary shares. Mr. Blandford is a well-recognized industry leader and has been a Board member practically since 2008, and the members of the Board and management often look to him for guidance on major financial, operational and strategic matters. Accordingly, Mr. Blandford, although a non-executive director, could have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the appointment of directors and other significant corporate actions. Without the consent of Mr. Blandford, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. In addition, Mr. Blandford could violate his fiduciary duties by diverting business opportunities from us to himself or others. For more information regarding Mr. Blandford and his affiliated entity, see "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions."

***Sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public markets by our founders, affiliates, or non-affiliates, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price that our ordinary shares might otherwise attain and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.***

Sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market by our founders, affiliates, or non-affiliates, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our ordinary shares and may make it more difficult for a shareholder to sell its ordinary shares at a time and price that it deems appropriate. None of our shareholders are subject to any contractual lock-up or other contractual

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

restriction on the transfer or sale of their ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 70% of our outstanding ordinary shares are held by our directors, officers, or other affiliates, and are therefore restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These shares are now eligible for resale in the public market subject to certain restrictions regarding the possession of material non-public information, and the volume, manner of sale, holding period, and other restrictions under Rule 144.

***The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management's attention.***

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations incurs substantial legal and financial compliance costs, makes some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly, and places increased demand on our management, systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight are required. As a result, management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and operating results. Although we have already hired additional employees to comply with these requirements, we may need to hire more employees in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to continue to invest resources to complying with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management's time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards that differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

***If securities or industry analysts do not continue to publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or we fail to meet the expectations of industry analysts, the market price for our ordinary shares and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our ordinary shares will depend in part on the continued research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or about our business. If research analysts do not continue to maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our ordinary shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our ordinary shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, interest in the purchase of our ordinary shares could decrease, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our ordinary shares to decline.

***We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over our financial reporting process. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations.***

We and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over our financial reporting process. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We and our independent registered

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control environment over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our financial results that would not be prevented or detected. Management has determined that the Company has the following material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

Control Activities – Management did not have adequate effective controls over elements of its internal control environment, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.*Ineffective design and implementation of controls over Revenue Recognition* – a lack of controls over recorded revenue, including to ensure the existence, completeness and accuracy of data to support accounts related to revenue and accounts receivable included in the financial statement close process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.*Ineffective design and implementation of controls over Period end Financial Reporting, including controls related to journal entries* – lack of effectively designed and implemented controls to detect potential misstatements in period end financial statements and disclosures.

We have begun the process of, and we are focused on, designing and implementing effective internal controls to remediate these material weaknesses. Our remediation efforts include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Continuing to enhance and formalize our accounting, business operations, and information technology policies, procedures, and controls to achieve complete, accurate, and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Increasing the resources assigned to Revenue processes and controls including the appointment of a director to lead a new core workstream focused on Revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Enhancing the revenue reporting processes through our ERP system and leveraging opportunities to further automate revenue data processing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.Developing monitoring controls and protocols that will allow us to timely assess the design and the operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting and make necessary changes to the design of controls, if any.

While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to design, implement and monitor our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

We believe, but cannot assure you, that the measures we have taken to date will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness we identified or avoid the identification of additional material weaknesses in the future. If the steps we take do not remediate the material weakness in a timely manner, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that this control deficiency or others could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Furthermore, investors' perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may harm our stock price. If we are unable to successfully remediate our identified material weaknesses, or if we discover additional material weaknesses, we would be required to continue disclosing such material weaknesses in future filings with the SEC, which could adversely impact investor confidence in our company and the market price of our ordinary shares and could subject us to litigation or regulatory enforcement actions.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

***If we fail, for any reason, to effectively or efficiently implement new internal controls over financial reporting procedures for compliance with Section 404(a) of SOX or determine that such procedures are ineffective, such failure or determination could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

We are required to comply with the internal control evaluation and certification requirements of Section 404(a) of SOX. If it is determined that we are not in compliance with Section 404(a), we will be required to design and implement new internal control procedures and re-evaluate our financial reporting. We may experience higher than anticipated operating expenses as well as independent registered public accounting firm fees during the implementation of these changes and thereafter. We may need to hire additional qualified personnel in order for us to be compliant with Section 404(a). During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404(a), we may identify weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail, for any reason, to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, such failure could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and the trading price of our ordinary shares, expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets, subject us to regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions and could result in our conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. If we fail to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. This conclusion could adversely impact the market price of our ordinary shares due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our reporting processes. For more information on potential risks related to compliance with related Section 404(b) of SOX, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of our Ordinary Shares—We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the JOBS Act and will take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements, which may make our ordinary shares less attractive to investors."

***We do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.***

We intend to retain all available liquidity sources and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business, and we have no plans to pay regular dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors (subject to, and in accordance with, our memorandum and articles of association and Jersey law) and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends, and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant. Accordingly, a shareholder may have to sell some or all of its ordinary shares after price appreciation in order to generate cash flow from its investment. A shareholder may not receive a gain on its investment when it sells its ordinary shares, and it may lose the entire amount of the investment.

***Future sales of our ordinary shares could lower our share price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities may dilute a shareholder's ownership in us and may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.***

We may sell additional ordinary shares in one or more subsequent offerings. We may also issue additional ordinary shares or convertible debt securities, for a variety of reasons, including to finance future acquisitions. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our ordinary shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our ordinary shares will have on the market price of our ordinary shares. Sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares.

***We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the JOBS Act and may, and currently do, take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements, which may make our ordinary shares less attractive to investors.***

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 effective on April 5, 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we may, and currently do, take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Most of such requirements relate to disclosures that we would only be required to make if we cease to be a foreign private issuer in the future, including exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Nevertheless, as a foreign private issuer that is an emerging growth company, we will not be required

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for up to five fiscal years after our initial public offering date of July 23, 2021. We may take advantage of these exemptions as long as we remain an emerging growth company, which could be for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if our total annual gross revenues reach $1.235 billion, if the aggregate market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million or if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our ordinary shares less attractive because we rely on the above emerging growth company exemptions. If some investors find our ordinary shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our ordinary shares and the price of our ordinary shares may be more volatile.

***Emerging Growth Company***

The JOBS Act was enacted in April 2012 with the intention of encouraging capital formation in the United States and reducing the regulatory burden on newly public companies that qualify as EGCs. We are an EGC within the meaning of the JOBS Act.

For information on the Company's current capital expenditures, see "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – B. Liquidity and Capital Resources."

**B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BUSINESS OVERVIEW**

We are a multi-award-winning performance marketing company and a leading provider of digital marketing services active in the online gambling industry. Our principal focus is on iGaming and online sports betting. Through our proprietary technology platform, we publish a portfolio of premier branded websites including Gambling.com, Bookies.com, RotoWire.com, and BonusFinder.com, in addition to over 50 local websites. We tailor each one of our websites to different user interests and markets by producing original content relating to online gambling and fantasy sports, such as news, odds, statistics, product reviews and product comparisons of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

locally available online gambling services. We utilize our technology platform, websites, and media partnerships to attract online gamblers through online marketing efforts and refer these online gamblers to companies that are licensed by gambling regulators to provide real-money online gambling services, known as online gambling operators, who convert these potential online gamblers into actual paying players. In this way, we provide business-to-business ("B2B") digital marketing services to online gambling operators. We also monetize our websites through business-to-consumer ("B2C") fantasy sports data subscriptions and sell data syndication and content to B2B clients.

We are not a gambling company and do not offer any gambling services ourselves. We can alternatively be described as a lead generation company, or an affiliate marketing company (or simply an "affiliate"). In many ways, we are more akin to an online media company as our revenue is derived primarily from online marketing.

We primarily generate revenue through performance marketing by referring online gamblers to online gambling operators. When an online gambler visits an online gambling operator from one of our websites, registers a new account and makes a deposit, this online gambler becomes one of our referred players. Each of our referred players entitles us to remuneration pursuant to our agreements with the online gambling operator. Our performance marketing agreements are primarily based on a Cost Per Acquisition model (also referred to as CPA), a revenue share model, or a combination of both, which is referred to as hybrid.

Advertising, media and other revenue includes revenue from arrangements not based on the referred players, including advertising on our platform and onboarding fees.

Since our acquisition of RotoSports (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements), the Group generates a portion of its revenue from data subscriptions and data syndication whereby a customer subscribes to services over a period of time.

As of December 31, 2022 and March 16, 2023, the Company owned and operated more than 50 different websites in seven languages and 15 national markets across North America, Europe and Oceania covering all aspects of the online gambling industry, which includes iGaming and sports betting, and the fantasy sports industry.

By consistently attracting online gamblers with high-quality content, we referred more than 273,000 and 117,000 players to online gambling operators in 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have increased our customer base to approximately 250 in 2022 from approximately 110 in 2017.

We achieved organic growth of 39%, 52%, and 45% in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and an organic revenue compound annual growth rate of 49% from the period of 2017 to 2022.

Financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are presented below.

**Our Growth Strategies**

Key elements of our growth strategy include:

***Continued Expansion in North America*** As states across the United States and provinces across Canada continue to legalize online gambling, the North American market has become our largest market by revenue. We are continuing to pursue market share by deploying publishing assets on both a national and, to the extent that a state or province is regulated, a state- or province-based level, as well as adding North American content to our international destinations. As of December 31, 2022 we are authorized to operate in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia in the United States. In January 2023, we commenced operations in Ohio, and in March 2023, we commenced operations in Massachusetts. We are actively pursuing licenses or approvals in all states where we expect a viable market.

North America is the fastest growing market of our business since 2019. Our revenue in North America has grown to $35.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to growing our international flagship websites Gambling.com, Bookies.com, and BonusFinder.com, we intend to continue to grow our North America-oriented websites, such as NewYorkBets.com, BetOhio.com, BetArizona.com, BetVirginia.com, IllinoisBet.com, BetMaryland.com, BetMassachesettes.com, BetTennessee.com, and BetOntario.com, to become the go-to resources for information on North American iGaming and sports betting in their respective states and provinces. Our acquisition of Roto Sports, owner and operator of RotoWire.com, expands our market growth in the United States to now include fantasy sports news and data.

***Pursuing Media Partnerships.*** We target mutually beneficial partnerships with leading media brands. By combining our sophisticated publishing and monetization systems with the website authority of leading media brands we can derive incremental revenue from those websites. In January 2022, we entered into a media partnership with The McClatchy Company, one of the largest news media companies in the United States with operations in 30 regional markets across the country. In February 2023, we entered into a media partnership with Gannett Co., Inc., a media and marketing solutions company that operates USA TODAY and over 200 authoritative publications in local markets, such as AZCentral.com, the Tennessean.com and Freep.com plus distribution across USA TODAY Sports and the Sports Media Group (SMG) properties, which includes the Sports Wire suite of fan sites.

***Growing Our Global Strategic Presence.*** Internationally, we target stable, regulated markets with significant growth potential. We believe we will continue to grow in existing markets in Europe and Oceania. We regularly monitor the regulatory landscape to be in a position to enter soon-to-be regulated markets for possible future expansion, such as Latin America.

***Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions.*** While we primarily focus on organically growing our business, the possibility for quality acquisitions provides another avenue for future growth. Between 2017 and 2022, we completed six acquisitions, including two in 2022. Our experience and technological capabilities position us as a sophisticated player to acquire strong sub-scale or under-monetized sites that will benefit from our more established processes and technologies. We plan to continue to leverage our history of successful acquisitions and internal organic growth to search for potential targets with strategic assets and strong management teams.

***Developing Pipeline Projects.*** We currently have a robust portfolio of over 500 undeveloped gambling domain names for future projects, including premium domain names.

**Our Products**

We refer online gamblers to online gambling operators. When an online gambler visits an online gambling operator from one of our websites, registers a new account and makes a deposit, this online gambler becomes one of our referred players and we are entitled to remuneration from the gambling operator.

We attract prospective online gamblers through industry-leading content produced by award-winning journalists, reporters, copywriters and lifelong followers of the online gambling industry. This best-in-class content is then

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

distributed to online gamblers through our proprietary technology platform which publishes more than 50 premier websites. Because of the advantages of our internally developed technology platforms and our search engine optimization expertise, online gamblers can readily and easily locate this content with the use of search engines such as Google. Visitors to our websites looking to engage with online gambling services can easily find, compare, and visit the best online gambling operators available in their jurisdiction from links on our websites.

While we have invested, and will continue to invest, in Gambling.com, Bookies.com, and RotoWire.com, which we consider our core brands, we also operate many niche websites that cater to specific geographies or online gambling products. Each of our websites offers online gamblers high-quality and relevant content, such as independent reviews and comparisons of regulated online gambling operators in their jurisdiction and refer high value NDCs to our clients, the online gambling operators.

***Our Core Brands***

*Gambling.com*

We acquired the Gambling.com domain name in April of 2011 for $2.5 million. The domain name came alone, without an accompanying business or any existing revenue streams. Since then, we have invested significant resources to launch a new website and grow it into one of the largest and highest revenue producing online gambling affiliate websites in the world. As of December 31, 2022, localized versions of Gambling.com were available in 14 markets and in five languages.

Gambling.com covers the entirety of the online gambling industry with content spanning all the key verticals in the industry: Casino, Sports, Poker and Bingo. But more than anything else, Gambling.com is a leading source for iGaming information and is casino-first in its content strategy.

*Casinos.com*

In November 2022, we acquired the ultra-premium Casinos.com domain name. We expect to launch the new Casinos.com website in the summer of 2023. It will be a website offering in-depth expert online casino reviews, exclusive network partner bonuses, casino guides and tutorials focused initially on English-speaking markets. In time, we expect Casinos.com to rival or even surpass the current scale of Gambling.com.

*Bookies.com*

We acquired the Bookies.com domain name in early 2018. Since then, we have transformed it into an all-inclusive website for sports bettors that provides promo codes, odds comparison, game previews, betting strategies and news. Bookies.com was built from the ground up with a U.S.-first and sports-first focus. We believe Bookies.com is well positioned to become a leading sports-betting destination in the U.S. and other English-speaking markets.

*RotoWire.com*

On January 1, 2022, we acquired Roto Sports, owner and operator of RotoWire.com, a provider of expert fantasy sports news and advice. The legacy RotoWire business has three different revenue streams, which provide access to sports media organizations, advertisers, and individual sports fans. We are leveraging RotoWire's existing audience, content library, talented workforce, media partnerships and trust with U.S. sports fans to further accelerate our already fast-growing business in the U.S. online sports betting market, driving incremental sports betting performance marketing revenue from the RotoWire.com website as its fourth revenue stream.

***Our Niche Brands***

By expanding the portfolio beyond our core brands, we can more directly target specific products in specific markets featuring locally produced, targeted or more niched content. The enlarged portfolio also may reduce volatility in month-to-month financial performance by diversifying the sources of our revenue across multiple websites, territories and products.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Many of our niche sites are relatively new, particularly those for the U.S. market. We also own a portfolio of premium domain names suitable to target U.S. states that may regulate sports betting and iGaming in the future. This positions us well for additional organic growth in the coming years.

*BonusFinder.com*

On January 31, 2022, we acquired NDC Media, operator of BonusFinder.com, a leading affiliate business in North American markets. BonusFinder publishes websites which help consumers find and compare bonuses for online sportsbooks and casinos, with a strong presence in Canada that has driven increased market share for us in the Canadian online sports betting and iGaming market.

*U.S. State- and Canadian Province-Specific Properties*

We have launched a series of websites dedicated to individual U.S. states and the Canadian province of Ontario. These websites provide local online gamblers with the news and analysis they need to make informed decisions when it comes to online gambling locally.

The following table provides a current list of our key U.S. state- and Canadian province-specific websites, along with the current legal status of online sports gambling and/or online casino gambling in each state or province.

***Our Proprietary Publishing Platform and Content Management System***

Our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Charles Gillespie, is a technologist at heart who taught himself to program to deliver our first website. Under Mr. Gillespie's leadership, we have prioritized outsized investments in technology to best serve our customers, online gamblers, and internal stakeholders. The benefits of these investments have significantly increased operational efficiency fundamental to delivering market-leading organic growth. We have developed four key internal platforms which sit behind and power all of our consumer-facing websites. All our websites run on internally developed platforms and are nearly all universally integrated into these platforms.

*Adge: Our Business Intelligence Software*

Originally launched in 2015, and with a new version launched in 2022, Adge is our business intelligence system which integrates data from our websites and our advertising partners. This platform gives us clean data which enables us to optimize our offerings and maximize the conversion from our websites to NDCs for our clients, online gambling operators. The system automatically retrieves and integrates data from nearly all of the Company's more than 1,000 affiliate program accounts.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

*Origins: a Publishing Platform for Maximum Speed*

We launched Origins in 2015 as a tailor-made high-speed publishing platform that prepares and distributes our content across seven global locations, all from the cloud. The system was developed with an SEO-first mentality, to ensure that all our websites are published according to the best technical SEO standards. In-built version control provides us total authority over source code changes and enables nimble switching between version numbers. Quality control systems scan all outgoing content to ensure it passes a number of internal quality control checks. Websites and content ready for release are pre-rendered, compressed and distributed to a global network of origin servers, which are then enhanced by a global content delivery network with over 200 points of presence. This stack of systems ensures that end-users requesting one of our services get their request fulfilled at the fastest speeds technologically possible.

The static nature of our published content dramatically shrinks the attack surface across our portfolio resulting in a fewer vulnerabilities and easier maintenance.

*Genesis: a Content Management System for Gambling Industry Data*

We launched Genesis in 2020 as our content management system, or CMS, to warehouse our growing database of gambling industry-related content. Genesis provides a central location for the management of all content types across our websites and applications. Users can log into a cloud-based system to add, update or import content assets. By centralizing all CMS functionality into one universal system, users get one common interface for updating all of our publishing assets. Users can be categorized into groups with varying levels of permissions according to management's requirements, allowing the system to be opened to external contributors. Our developers can also plug into one common API to consume data in one common format regardless of its ultimate destination. As pain-points are identified, we can deploy specific tools and features to streamline repetitive or time-consuming tasks for our users.

*Elements: Ad-Tech for Managing and Optimizing Native Gambling Advertising*

Elements is our proprietary advertiser management system—our central interface to manage the terms, offers, and details of advertisement placements across our entire network. With tens of thousands of pages of content, advertisers can appear in a great variety of locations which we believe, despite these challenges, should be optimized on every occasion. Elements provides us with a centralized platform to coordinate the appearance, rankings and advertiser details at any location across the network. Tightly integrated with our business intelligence team, we are able to track advertiser performance at scale and quickly identify under and over performance. Sophisticated machine-learning algorithms crunch performance data and make recommendations on which online gambling operator is truly best positioned to meet online gamblers' needs in each circumstance.

**Our Track Record of Awards and Recognitions**

Our products have been recognized for their excellence over the years, winning nearly every award in the gambling affiliate industry for sports and casino. In 2022, we were named the 2022 eGR Global Sports Affiliate of the Year, the 2022 SBC North America Sports Affiliate of the Year, and the 2022 SBC European Casino Affiliate of the Year.

![gamb-20221231_g1.jpg](gamb-20221231_g1.jpg)

**Our Sales Process and Customers**

We develop relationships, and negotiate and engage with, online gambling operators as part of standard inside sales processes. We do this through direct emails, calls and referrals from existing customers, and outside sales processes, including attendance at industry-related conferences and in-person meetings. It is also common for online gambling operators to discover our business by accessing one of our websites. After finding one of our online gambling affiliate websites, the online gambling operator submits an advertising proposal through a contact form on our corporate website.

We have a strong and growing portfolio of major online gambling operators. Our customer base grew to approximately 250 in 2022, up from 221 in 2021, respectively. We work with regulated online gambling operators, including industry heavyweights — DraftKings, Flutter Entertainment (FanDuel, PaddyPower, Betfair), Entain (BetMGM, Ladbrokes, bwin, partypoker), Kindred Group (Unibet, 32Red), Rush Street Interactive (Sugarhouse, BetRivers), Caesars, Gamesys, Bet365, WynnBet, 888, Hard Rock Digital and PointsBet. As evidenced by this list, many of our customers operate multiple player-facing brands. We believe we increased our number of customers as a result of a variety of factors, including an increase in the number of markets where we operate, new online gambling operators entering various markets, an increase in demand for player acquisition services and an expanded internal sales team.

We have ranked in the top eight on the EGR Power Affiliates list since its inception in 2018, and moved up to number three ranking in 2022. The list is compiled from votes cast by full-time affiliate managers working with the online gambling operators who rate affiliates based on their commercial, operational, product, compliance and M&A capabilities.

In 2022, 2021 and 2020, our top ten customers accounted for 50%, 52% and 55% of our total revenue, respectively. In 2022, our largest customer accounted for 9% of our revenue. In 2021, our two largest customers accounted for 13% and 10% of our revenue. In 2020, our largest customer accounted for 20% of our revenue.

While attracting new customers is important, we primarily focus on maintaining and deepening our relationships with our existing customers by increasing the amount of traffic and, in-turn, the number of NDCs we can refer to our existing customer base. Our account management team coordinates the day-to-day relationships with our customers, while improving the commercial aspects of our deals. Meanwhile, our product and content teams optimize the content, offers, news and other details related to how our customers' brands are presented to the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

online gamblers to maximize conversion rates. In many cases we can negotiate exclusive bonuses and offers for the players referred from our websites. We plan to continue to grow both the number of customers and the level of participation from existing customers. As we scale traffic to our websites in our existing markets, we expect to generate additional NDCs for our existing customer base in those markets. To the extent that we wish to enter new markets in the future, we may seek to onboard local gambling operators in a target market to optimize the localized products.

Leveraging our extensive reach, we strive to serve as our online gambling operators' preferred partners by providing relevant, high-intent traffic that helps them meet their online gambling player acquisition goals.

**Increasing Customer Performance**

The math that determines the commercial performance of an individual online gambling operator on one of our websites is driven more by the ability of the online gambling operator to effectively monetize the traffic that we send them than the absolute dollar amount in the commercial terms. This is because the range of expected NDC conversion rates is significantly wider than the range of the commercial terms for an NDC. Online gambling operators who are skilled at converting the traffic from click to registration and then from registration to first deposit generate more revenue to both their organization and Gambling.com Group. Online gambling operators that may offer abnormally high CPA rates without converting traffic well do not make good partners.

Because the effectiveness of our partners is a key commercial concern, we built our proprietary advertiser management system Elements, a dedicated system to manage the placement of operators and operators' offers on our websites. As we approached the limit of what was possible with manual adjustments, we have started to leverage machine learning systems to help us ensure we are showing the most appropriate operator in every circumstance. These advanced data science models can process many more input variables and larger data sets than our commercial team could process on its own. The 2021 and 2022 initiatives have made our models more efficient, allowed us to develop a method to test changes in a low-risk manner without impacting the user experience, and enabled us to explore more granular customer segmentation.

**Seasonality**

See "Item 5A. Operating Results - Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations" for a description of the seasonality of our business.

**Competition** 

The online gambling affiliates market is highly fragmented, intensely competitive and constantly evolving. With the introduction of new technologies and new market entrants, we expect the competitive environment to remain intense for the foreseeable future. We compete with other performance marketing service providers in the online gambling industry, such as Better Collective and Catena Media, which are both publicly traded in Europe. Our most comparable publicly traded companies in the United States are Sportradar AG, Genius Sports Ltd., NeoGames S.A., and Inspired Entertainment, Inc., all of which are B2B service providers to the industry.

We believe we compete favorably on the basis of the quality of our websites, our strategic geographical presence, our diversified and growing customer base, our technological excellence and our proven history of growth. We have delivered significantly more organic growth than our peers over the last five years. Our organic growth strategy focuses on perfecting our internal processes, technology, and products and does not rely on acquisitions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Website Quality.*** We take pride in our focused network of 50 high quality branded-websites, which include Gambling.com, Casinos.com, Bookies.com, and RotoWire.com tightly managed through common software systems.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Strategic Presence.*** We focus on legalized and soon-to-be legalized markets around the world. Currently, we publish content localized for North America, more than eight European countries, and Oceania.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Customer Base.*** We have a robust client portfolio which includes most major online gambling operators from the United States and Europe. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we worked with over 250 and 200 online gambling operators, respectively, including publicly-traded

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

companies such as DraftKings, Flutter Entertainment (FanDuel, PaddyPower, Betfair), Entain (BetMGM, Ladbrokes, bwin, partypoker), Kindred Group (Unibet, 32Red), Rush Street Interactive (Sugarhouse, BetRivers), Caesars, Gamesys, Bet365, WynnBet, 888, Hard Rock Digital and PointsBet. While we prioritize deepening our relationships with our existing customers, we have also increased our number of customers from 111 in 2017 to over 250 in 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Technological Excellence.*** We have developed four proprietary software platforms to maximize operational efficiency in the delivery of our consumer websites. These platforms are used across our network and enable us to significantly reduce website loading times for visitors, efficiently organize and manage all of the content which appears on our websites and precisely optimize the placement of our customers' messages across our network. We continue to invest in our own technical systems and believe we are at the forefront, compared to our peers, in terms of leveraging technology in general and artificial intelligence in particular to optimize our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Proven History of Growth.*** Over the last five years, our organic growth strategy has focused on perfecting our internal processes, technology, and products. This approach has delivered faster growth than our established global online gambling affiliate peers. Since 2017, we have maintained an compound annual organic growth rate of 51%. We also have the expertise and experience to transform high-value gambling industry domain names into high-performing websites. We acquired the Gambling.com domain name in 2011 with no business or revenue and turned it into the globally recognized, market-leading brand that it is today, operating in thirteen markets and five languages. We also built Bookies.com into an all-inclusive platform focusing on U.S. sports betting with more than 60 contributors since its acquisition in early 2018. We recently acquired the ultra-premium domain name Casinos.com and plan to launch a new international casino focused website offering in-depth expert online casino reviews, exclusive network partner bonuses, casino guides and tutorials.

**Social Responsibility**

As the online gambling market continues to expand globally, we believe it is important to remain focused on the social costs of the industry. We are committed to being a leader in responsible gambling and advocating for a conservative approach that is adopted by the industry and ensures sustainability of what should be an entertaining recreational activity.

With that vision, we maintain one of the most restrictive advertising policies in the online gambling affiliates industry to avoid problematic channels. We acquire and publish content for prospective online gamblers responsibly, by focusing on locally regulated markets, recommending licensed online gambling operators, displaying terms and conditions in accordance with best practices and display clear messages about responsible gambling on our sites, and do not utilize any aggressive messaging that would encourage problematic gambling. Our team also monitors regulations and standards prescribed by each market's respective authorities, such as the U.K. Gambling Commission, the U.K Advertising Standards Authority, CAP Advertising Guidelines—Gambling, the CAP Code for Online Affiliate Marketing, and U.S. state regulators.

To help online gamblers recognize problematic behavior early, we established the Responsible Gambling Center on our flagship website Gambling.com, which provides online gamblers access to support organizations in our major markets. The Responsible Gambling Center is divided into three sections:

***Responsible Gambling Fundamentals.*** Educates online gamblers about the basic risks of problem gambling, gambling addiction and how to gamble responsibly.

***Staying in Control.*** Helps online gamblers recognize the signs of problem gambling and gives guidance on staying in control. Explains key concepts like self-exclusion, betting logs and deposit limits.

***Protection and Support.*** Provides access to detailed information for problem gambling support groups as well as links to tools to protect children from gambling content.

We strive to contribute positively - not only to our industry at-large through responsible gambling initiatives but also in our communities through corporate social responsibility initiatives. Each year, employees in Ireland and the United States choose a local nonprofit organization to support through fundraising and volunteering.

**Intellectual Property Rights**

See "Item 5C. Operating Results – Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, Etc." for a description of our reliance on our intellectual property rights.

**Regulations**

As a company providing services to online gambling operators and conducting business on the Internet, we are subject to a variety of laws in the United States and abroad that involve matters central to our business, including laws regarding online gambling and data protection and privacy, among others.

***Online Gambling Regulations***

Since we operate a pure B2B business model and have no direct business relationship with online gamblers, we are not required to be licensed or approved as a gambling operator in Europe or elsewhere outside of the United States.

In the United States, any company providing services to regulated gambling entities is typically required to either register or apply for a license or an approval with the gambling regulator in each state where they are active. In the case of gambling affiliates, a tiered system is sometimes available with a relatively straight forward registration required for online gambling affiliates only looking to do CPA deals and a more onerous license application required for online gambling affiliates seeking to do deals with a revenue share component. As of December 31, 2022, we have obtained licenses or approvals to operate in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, Arizona, Michigan, Louisiana, Maryland, and Ohio.

Outside of the United States, online gambling affiliates are not required to apply for licenses or approvals with the only known exception being Romania.

***Data Protection and Privacy***

Because, on a limited basis, we handle, collect, store, receive, transmit and otherwise process certain personal information of individuals, including our users, customers and employees, we are also subject to federal, state and foreign laws related to the privacy and protection of such data, as further set forth under the caption "Risk Factors – Risks Related to Government Regulation - We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, data protection and information security. If we are unable to comply with these, we may be subject to governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity". Regulations such as the CCPA, which is untested law, could affect our business, and its potential impact is unknown.

With our operations in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we may also face particular privacy, data security, and data protection risks in connection with requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, U.K. GDPR, and other data protection regulations. Any failure or perceived failure to comply with these rules may result in regulatory fines or penalties including orders that require us to change the way we process data. In the event of a data breach, we are also subject to breach notification laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the GDPR, and the risk of litigation and regulatory enforcement actions.

Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations, interpretations of laws or regulations, or market practices, regarding the use of personal data, or regarding the manner in which we seek to comply with applicable laws and regulations, could require us to make modifications to our products, services, policies, procedures, notices, and business practices, including potentially material changes. Such changes could potentially have an adverse impact on our business.

**Compliance**

We have developed and implemented various internal policies to help ensure that we comply with legal and regulatory requirements imposed on us. Our compliance and risk program focuses primarily on vetting the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

online gambling operators we work with to ensure that we do not work with operators that lack appropriate licensing, accept illegal bets or are otherwise unsuitable. We also take great care to provide education and tools to assist users in making educated choices related to gambling activities that are age appropriate, relevant and not misleading. We have a zero-tolerance approach to money laundering and terrorist financing.

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.

**Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material litigation. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

**Recent Developments**

***Media Partnership with Gannett Co., Inc.***

In February 2023, we entered into a media partnership with Gannett Co., Inc., a media and marketing solutions company that operates USA TODAY and over 200 authoritative publications in local markets, such as AZCentral.com, the Tennessean.com and Freep.com plus distribution across USA TODAY Sports and the Sports Media Group (SMG) properties, which includes the Sports Wire suite of fan sites.

**ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS**

**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OPERATING RESULTS**

**Overview**

We are a multi-award-winning performance marketing company and a leading provider of digital marketing services active in the online gambling industry. Our principal focus is on iGaming and sports betting and the fantasy sports industry. Through our proprietary technology platform, we publish a portfolio of premier branded websites including Gambling.com, Bookies.com, RotoWire.com, and BonusFinder.com, in addition to over 50 local websites. We tailor each one of our websites to different user interests and markets within the online gambling industry by producing original content relating to the sector, such as news, odds, statistics, product reviews and product comparisons of locally available online gambling services. We attract online gamblers through online marketing efforts and refer these online gamblers to companies that are licensed by gambling regulators to provide real-money online gambling services, known as online gambling operators, who convert these potential online gamblers into actual paying players. In this way, we provide business-to-business ("B2B"), digital marketing services to online gambling operators.

We primarily generate revenue through performance marketing by referring online gamblers to online gambling operators. When an online gambler visits an online gambling operator from one of our websites, registers a new account and makes a deposit, this online gambler becomes one of our referred players. Each of our referred players entitles us to remuneration pursuant to our agreements with the online gambling operator. Our performance marketing agreements are primarily based on a revenue share model, a Cost Per Acquisition model (also referred to as CPA), or a combination of both, which is referred to as hybrid.

Advertising, media and other revenue includes revenue from arrangements not based on the referred players including advertising on our platform and onboarding fees.

Since the acquisition of RotoWire (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements), the Group generates a portion of its revenue from data subscriptions and data syndication whereby a customer subscribes to services over a period of time.

As we are compensated primarily on a performance-based model, our revenue depends overwhelmingly on the quantity and quality of traffic we can provide to our customers, rather than on our commercial team's ability to sell advertising based on fixed fees or placements. Our commercial team focuses on finding high performing partners and curating the relationship with our existing partners to improve and expand our business relationships.

Our revenue performance can be optimized by selecting the best commercial model available to us from each of our customers. Usually, some combination of the models will be offered and it is incumbent on us to select and negotiate our preferable model. Operators' favored model tends to vary over time depending on internal priorities and personnel. Internally we are agnostic as to the superiority of any one of the three models above. We have a predictive analytics system which estimates the value to us of each of these models based on each operator, product and market and we simply choose the one that our systems predict will yield the best results.

Online gamblers generally locate our websites via search engines, and we are thus dependent on the effective implementation of SEO strategies across our portfolio of websites. We plan to organically increase our market

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

share by continuing to deliver best in class content on our branded destinations through the efficient use of our technology platforms. Google and other search engines are increasingly adept at identifying the truly high-quality content which deserves prominence. Our investments in content, product and website delivery thus naturally result in strong search engine rankings.

See "Item 4.B. Information on the Company - Business Overview" and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this annual report for further information.

**Market Trends**

The main drivers for the online gambling affiliate market in which we operate are the underlying online gambling market, pace and detail of regulation, the amount of spend on customer acquisition by the online gambling operators and the share of such spend going to online gambling affiliates such as us. Underlying market growth stems from both an increase in the number of jurisdictions regulating online gambling for the first time as well as growth from already regulated jurisdictions where online gambling is becoming an increasingly accepted, mainstream leisure activity.

Newly regulated markets, such as regulated states in the United States and regulated provinces in Canada, we believe, present significant opportunities for future growth. Changes to existing regulations could present both risks and opportunities depending on the nature of the change. An increase in underlying gaming tax, for example, would negatively affect the revenue potential from such market whereas an expansion in the number of online gambling licensees would typically positively affect the revenue potential.

**Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations**

Revenue from sports products tend to fluctuate significantly with the sporting events schedule. Revenue from casino products is typically subject to seasonality to a lesser extent. The first and fourth quarters are typically stronger while the second and third quarters are subject to negative seasonality for both sports and casino products with sports products subject to more pronounced negative seasonality than casino.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 33%, 15% and 11%, of our revenue was generated from sports products, respectively, including online betting and daily fantasy sports and 66%, 84% and 86% was generated from casino products, respectively, including iGaming and social casino.

**Impact of COVID-19** 

The COVID-19 global pandemic presented health and economic challenges on an unprecedented scale. Based on currently available information, we do not expect a significant negative long-term impact on our business. We believe our and our customer's online business models benefit from an accelerated structural change from offline to online. The demands for our services were not impacted significantly by changes in buying behavior and disposable income of online gamblers. Management assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and based on actual results during 2021 and concluded there was no overall negative impact on our financial performance.

As a leading provider of digital marketing services for the global online gambling industry, we have seen significant growth in revenues, as we believe COVID-19 has accelerated the structural shift from offline to online entertainment.

While the lasting impact of COVID-19 on the online gambling market is uncertain, we believe that the changes in player behaviors may have a permanent positive effect on the online gambling market and our business.

***Revenue***

We generate most of our revenue by performance marketing whereby we refer online gamblers to online gambling operators. In addition, we earn revenue from paid subscriptions, content syndication and advertising.

Performance marketing revenue consists of (i) CPA revenue from arrangements where we are paid exclusively by a single cash payment for each referred player, (ii) revenue share arrangements where we are paid exclusively by a share of the customer's net gambling revenue ("NGR") from the referred players and (iii) hybrid revenue from arrangements where we are paid by both a CPA commission and a revenue share commission from the referred players. Subscription revenue consists of B2C data subscription services and B2B data syndication services. Advertising, media and other revenue includes revenue from arrangements not based on the referred players and includes advertising on our platform and onboarding fees.

*Performance marketing* Within performance marketing, we consider each referred player to be a separate performance obligation. The performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the referral is accepted by the relevant online gambling operator. Revenue share fees for each referred player are considered variable consideration and are only recognized to the extent it is probable that no significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for the referral will occur when the ultimate fees are known.

CPA fees for each referred player are recognized when earned upon acceptance of the referral by the online gambling operator.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Fees generated by each customer during a particular month are typically paid to us within 30-45 days after month end.

*Subscription* For subscription and content syndication revenue, we consider each subscription to be a separate performance obligation. We satisfy our performance obligation, and revenue from these services is recognized, on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. The Company records deferred revenue upon execution of subscriptions when the subscription plan requires upfront payment.

*Advertising and other* For Advertising, media and other revenue, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

The revenue growth is driven primarily by growth from North America of 380% during the year ended December 31, 2022 as a result of a combination of organic growth and acquisitions compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. We believe this growth stems from both increased addressable market, increased market

share, and increased demand for our performance marketing services. Revenue from the U.K. and Ireland for the year ended December 31, 2022 grew 32% compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, despite the weakening of GBP and EUR against the USD. We believe this growth stems from increased market share. Revenue from Other Europe for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by 18% compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. This is driven by a weakening of the EUR against the USD and changed market conditions in Germany following the local regulation of the market in July 2021, partially offset by growth in other European markets.

During the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, revenue increased across each of our disaggregated markets driven by organic growth. We believe the growth stems from a combination of increased demand, market growth, increased addressable market, increased market share, and improved technology and operational efficiencies.

Advertising and other revenue includes revenue from arrangements not based on referred players and includes advertising and onboarding fees.

The revenue increase for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven primarily by increased performance marketing revenue from North America and the U.K. and Ireland on both our organically built websites, the acquired RotoWire and BonusFinder sites, our media partnerships, and the addition of Subscription revenue as a result of the acquisition of Roto Sports**.**

The revenue increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven by organic growth in performance marketing across all disaggregated markets and growth in Advertising and other revenue derived primarily from growth in fixed listing and placement fees.

The growth in casino revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 is driven primarily by organic revenue growth in the UK and Ireland, and North America and the acquisition of Bonus finder.

The Casino revenue increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, we believe, is driven partly by a structural shift from offline to online casino products, accelerated by the closure of traditional brick-and-mortar gambling facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, positively impacting the overall market growth.

The Sports revenue increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, we believe was directly impacted by the resumption of the sports season and in-person sporting events resulting from a decrease in COVID-19 restrictions.

***Operating Expenses***

***EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin***

EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as earnings excluding interest, income tax (charge) credit, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the effect of non-recurring items, significant non-cash items, share-based payment expense, foreign exchange gains (losses), fair value of contingent consideration, and other items that our board of directors believes do not reflect the underlying performance of the business including acquisition related expenses, such as acquisition related costs and bonuses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-IFRS measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to our management team as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as those measures remove the effect of items not directly resulting from our core operations including effects that are generated by differences in capital structure, depreciation, tax effects and non-recurring events.

While we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as tools to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are substitutes for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS results. As such, the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. The primary limitations associated with the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as compared to IFRS results are that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as we define them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry and that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may exclude financial information that some investors may consider important in evaluating our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased from 52% to 43% primarily driven by increased sales and marketing, technology, and general and administrative expenses partly offset by revenue growth.

***Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share***

Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net income attributable to equity holders excluding the fair value gain or loss related to contingent consideration, unwinding of deferred consideration, and certain employee bonuses related to acquisitions. Adjusted net income per diluted share is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as adjusted net income attributable to equity holders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

We believe adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to our management as a measure of comparative performance from period to period as these measures remove the effect of the fair value gain or loss related to the contingent consideration, unwinding of deferred consideration, and certain employee bonuses, all associated with our acquisitions, during the limited period where these items are incurred. We expect to incur gains or losses related to the contingent consideration and expenses related to the unwinding of deferred consideration and employee bonuses until December 2023. See Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a description of the contingent and deferred considerations associated with our acquisitions.

***Free Cash Flow***

Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS liquidity financial measure defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures, or CAPEX.

We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to our management team as a measure of financial performance as it measures our ability to generate additional cash from our operations. While we use Free Cash Flow as a tool to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that Free Cash Flow is a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS metrics. As such, the presentation of Free Cash Flow is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The primary limitation associated with the use of Free Cash Flow as compared to IFRS metrics is that Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures because the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Free Cash Flow as we define it also may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in the online gambling affiliate industry.

---

(1) Capital expenditures are defined as the acquisition of property and equipment and the acquisition of intangible assets, and excludes cash flows related to business combinations. .

Free cash flow increased 12% to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily driven by increased operating cashflows partly offset by increased capital expenditures including the acquisition of domain names.

Free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased 22% to $8.4 million primarily driven by increased capital expenditure including the acquisition of domain names partly offset by increased operating cashflow.

***Constant Currency***

Changes in our financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We provide "constant currency" analysis, as if the EUR-USD exchange rate had remained constant period-over-period, to enhance the comparability of our operating results. When we use the term "constant currency," we adjust for the impact related to the translation of our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) from EUR to USD by translating financial data for the year ended December 31, 2021 using the same foreign currency exchange rates that we used to translate financial data for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Constant currency metrics should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported results prepared in accordance with IFRS. Refer to "Results of Operations – Year ended December 31, 2022 with year ended December 31, 2021" for Management's discussion of the constant currency impact for these periods. For foreign exchange rates used, refer to "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Foreign Currency Translation," within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this annual report. Refer to the section "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Transaction Exposure Sensitivity" for additional information.

***Key Performance Indicator***

The Key Performance Indicator, or KPI, does not represent an IFRS based measurement. We define an NDC as a unique referral of a player from our system to one of our customers that satisfied an agreed performance obligation (typically making a deposit above a minimum threshold) with the customer and thereby triggered the right to commission for us. Management uses NDCs as an indication of the performance of our websites or mobile apps as we generate commission revenues from customers based on the referred players.

While no estimation is necessary in quantifying NDCs, the KPI is subject to various risks such as reliance on search engines, reliance on customer data, customer concentration, competition, licensing and regulation, and macroeconomic conditions. Refer to "Item 3. Key Information – Risk Factors" within this annual report for further risks associated with our business which could affect this KPI.

The increase in NDCs for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 demonstrates the growth in the business, related to both organic growth across casino and sports products and acquisitions. As such, we believe this is a meaningful metric in evaluating our operating performance.

**B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated from our initial public offering, operations and borrowings. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our cash deposited in banks was $29.7 million and $51.0 million, respectively, primarily in accounts with banks in the U.S. and Ireland. Historically, our fundraising efforts generally related to the expansion of our business through acquisitions and the continued development of our platform.

In December 2020, we and an investor entered into a $6.0 million two-year term loan carrying interest at 8%, or the term loan. The term loan was secured by a pledge of shares in our subsidiaries and was repaid in full as of December 31, 2022.

In July 2021, we issued and sold 5,250,000 ordinary shares in our initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "GAMB" in exchange for total gross cash proceeds of $42.0 million.

We estimate based on cash on hand and cash generated from operations that we will have adequate liquidity to fund operations for at least twelve months from the issuance date of our consolidated financial statements.

***Working Capital***

Our working capital is mainly comprised of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables. Our working capital decreased to $10.3 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to $46.7 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in contingent and deferred consideration liabilities of $22.2 million from our 2022 acquisitions (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements), a decrease in cash due to the payment of consideration of $23.4 million for RotoWire and BonusFinder acquisitions, partially offset by cash flows generated by operating activities, and an increase in trade receivables and payables. Our trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Such balances are typically classified as current. Our trade and other payables are obligations to pay for services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. We believe that our current working capital is sufficient to support our operations for at least 12 months from the date of this annual report.

*Cash Flows Generated by Operating Activities*

Cash flows generated by operating activities increased by $4.7 million, or 34%, to $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The fluctuations in net cash generated by operating activities is the result of a decrease in income before tax of $9.3 million which was offset by changes in non-cash add backs, adjustments to income before tax and changes in operating assets and liabilities as follows: (i) $10.9 million related to fair value movement in contingent consideration, (ii) net finance costs increased by $0.3 million due to currency translation gains, (iii) share option charges increased by $1.2 million, (iv) charges in credit loss allowance provision increased $0.9 million, (v) amortization charges increased $4.6 million, and (vi) working capital changes decreased by $3.0 million reflecting increased trade and other receivables balances, and decreased trade and other payable balances for 2022 compared to 2021. The increase in trade and other receivables is the result of increased receivable from operators as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 driven by strong growth in revenue. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group repurchased warrant at fair value of $0.8 million.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Cash flows generated by operating activities increased $3.1 million, or 28%, to a $14.0 million net inflow during the year ended December 31, 2021 from a $10.9 million net inflow for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is the result of an increase in income before tax of $1.4 million due to growth in the business as described above. The increase was offset by changes in non-cash add backs, adjustments to income before tax and changes in operating assets and liabilities as follows: (i) net finance costs decreased by $2.6 million due to decreased interest expense on our 2021 Bonds, (ii) financial instruments valuation gains decreased $1.4 million due to the redemption of our 2021 Bonds, (iii) share option charges increased $1.7 million, (iv) income tax payments increased $1.5 million and (v) working capital changes increased by $2.8 million reflecting increased trade and other receivables balances for 2021 compared to 2020. The increase in trade and other receivables is the result of increased prepayments as of December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.

*Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities* 

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $27.1 million to a $32.7 million net outflow during the year ended December 31, 2022 from a $5.6 million net outflow during the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily the result of the initial payments made for the acquisitions of Roto Sports and BonusFinder of $23.4 million (net of cash acquired), and an increase of $3.7 million year-over-year in the purchase of intangible assets including domain names and capitalized software development costs.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $5.5 million to a $5.6 million net outflow during the year ended December 31, 2021 from a $0.1 million net outflow during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is mainly the result of capitalized software development costs of $1.7 million, the purchase of domains of $3.6 million and increases in the purchase of computers, software and office equipment of $0.3 million.

*Cash Flows (Used in) Generated by Financing Activities* 

Cash flows used in financing activities of $7.3 million in 2022 was the result of repayment of borrowings of $6.0 million, scheduled interest payments of $0.5 million, repurchase of common shares of $0.3 million and rent payments for long-term leases of $0.5 million. Long-term lease payments are presented as part of financing cash flows as a result of application of IFRS 16 and comprised of principal paid of $0.3 million and interest paid of $0.2 million.

Cash flows generated by financing activities of $35.0 million in 2021 was the result of the initial public offering of ordinary shares, net of equity issue costs, of $35.9 million and scheduled interest payments of $0.5 million. Rent payments for long-term leases of $0.4 million are presented as part of financing cash flows as a result of application of IFRS 16 and comprised of principal paid of $0.2 million and interest paid of $0.2 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities of $10.2 million in 2020 was the result of the issue of ordinary shares and warrants, net of equity issue costs, of $3.4 million, proceeds from the issuance of a term loan, net of issuance costs, of $5.9 million, repayments of Notes of $17.4 million, repurchases of warrants of $0.1 million, and scheduled interest payments of $1.7 million. Rent payments for long-term leases of $0.4 million are presented as part of financing cash flows and comprised of principal paid of $0.2 million and interest paid of $0.2 million.

**C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.**

**Research and Development**

We have built our technology platform relying primarily on software and systems that we have developed in-house and, to a lesser extent, on third-party software that we have modified and incorporated. Our strong technology platform is essential to our business and ability to compete successfully with other online gambling affiliates. We continue to invest significant resources to further develop our platform.

**Intellectual Property**

We consider our trademarks and domain names as critical to our success. We currently hold rights to the Gambling.com, Casinos.com, Bookies.com and RotoWire.com domain names and a portfolio of other domain

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

names suitable for targeting multiple jurisdictions, including most U.S. states. We also have certain registered trademarks that are important to our brand, such as the combined mark, Gambling.com. We primarily rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

As of December 31, 2022, we owned eight trademarks and over 1,200 domains.

**D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TREND INFORMATION**

For a discussion of trends, see "Item 4.B. Information on the Company – Business Overview" and "Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results."

**E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The critical accounting policies, estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe to have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are included in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in Part III Item 18.

***Equity Incentive Plans***

We have historically granted options (incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options) and warrants to incentivize employees and other service providers under our equity incentive plans. There are options to purchase 1,456,214 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 50,000 ordinary shares currently outstanding under our Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, described below. The outstanding options under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan have a weighted average exercise price of $8.18 per Ordinary Share and typically vest over four years as follows: 25% of the options vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, with 1/48th of the total number of options vesting monthly thereafter, in each case, subject to the grantee's continued employment or service with us on each vesting date. The options expire between November 2027 and January 2032. The outstanding warrants under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan have a weighted average exercise price of $3.52 per Ordinary Share and are exercisable four years from the grant date. We have also granted 10-year performance awards to our Co-Founders totaling 4,056,770 options, subject to performance vesting, to purchase ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2022, the performance conditions were not achieved. See "Senior Executive Officer Performance Option Awards" below for additional information

***Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and Its Supplements***

Effective Date and Shares Reserved. The Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, which was last amended and restated on May 18, 2022, became effective on the date on which it was adopted by our board of directors and will continue in effect until terminated or suspended by our board of directors. Generally, no awards shall be granted under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan after July 6, 2031, and no Incentive Stock Options may be granted after September 24, 2030, but any awards granted prior to such dates may extend beyond such expiration dates. The Amended and Restated 2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, warrants, and other stock-based awards to our employees, officers, directors (including non-executive directors), and consultants and advisors. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be granted initially under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan was 1,500,000. The shares reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan will be increased on the first day of each calendar year in an amount equal to 2% of the total number of shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year, unless otherwise determined by the board prior to the increase. The maximum amount of shares that may be granted to a non-employee director shall not exceed $500,000 in total value. If any award expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part, such shares will again be available for the grant under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan. In addition, shares tendered to us to exercise an award will be added to the number of shares of available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan.

*Plan Administration.* Our board of directors or a committee established by our board of directors administers the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, and the administrator has the authority to (i) select eligible grantees, (ii) determine the amount of the grant, terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to each award, (iii) construe, interpret, adopt, amend, and repeal administrative rules, guidelines, and practices relating to the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, (iv) accelerate the vesting or distribution date (if applicable) of any award and (v) establish the sub-plans as it deems necessary or appropriate to conform to requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the U.S.

*Types and Terms and Conditions of Awards*. The administrator may grant awards intended to qualify as an incentive stock option, non-qualified stock option, warrants, or other stock-based awards permissible by applicable laws. The maximum amount of shares that may be issued through the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan is 1,500,000 shares plus a 2% increase on the first day of each calendar year based on total number of shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year. The Amended and Restated 2020 Plan requires that incentive stock options and warrants have an exercise price that is not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share underlying such options. With respect to incentive stock options the exercise price may be not less than 110% of the fair market value in case of a grantee who at the time of the grant owns shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares on the date of grant.

The exercise period of an option award will be determined by the administer in the applicable option agreement, but in no event may the exercise period be more than ten years from the grant date, or seven years in case of grantees employed in Ireland. In addition, each option will be subject to vesting (in whole or in part) over a period of four years, upon the terms and conditions determined by the administer in the applicable option agreement. The exercise period of a warrant will be determined by the administer in the applicable option

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

agreement, provided that the exercise period is no less than two years and no more than four years after the grant date.

*Adjustment Provisions*. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to shareholders other than an ordinary cash dividend, the administrator shall have the authority to make equitable adjustments as to (i) the number and class of securities available under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, (ii) the number and class of securities subject to any outstanding option, (iii) the number and class of securities subject to any outstanding warrant and (iv) the exercise price per share covered by any awards, unless the grantee is a California resident, whose securities shall be adjusted proportionately following the above mentioned triggering events. In addition, if the strike price and number of shares covered by any outstanding option or warrant are adjusted as of the distribution date of any stock dividend, then a grantee having exercised an option or warrant between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend will be entitled to the stock dividend with respect to any shares acquired through exercising such options or warrants.

Upon a change in control (as defined in the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan), the administrator may (i) agree that some or all of the outstanding awards will be assumed or substituted by the surviving company on substantially equivalent terms and conditions as the original award, (ii) accelerate the vesting of awards, (iii) grant awards in substitution for awards granted by another entity in connection with our merger or consolidation of that entity or (iv) settle some or all of the awards in cash, (v) provide that, in connection with a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, Awards shall convert into the right to receive liquidation proceeds (if applicable, net of the exercise price thereof) and (vi) any combination of the foregoing.

*Amendment and Termination*. The board of directors may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding award, provided that the grantee's consent to such action will be required unless it would not materially and adversely affect the grantee. The board of directors may, without shareholder approval, reprice stock options and cancel any outstanding award and grant in substitution new awards under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan covering the same or a different number of ordinary shares and having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the cancelled award.

*Miscellaneous Provisions*. Options granted under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No fractional shares shall be issued or delivered under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan. Warrants are transferable to the extent permissible by applicable laws, but we retain the right of first refusal. The right to exercise any awards will be terminated within a fixed period as determined by the administrator after the termination of a grantee's employment with us. For the purposes of complying with California law, we allow California grantees to exercise their options until at least 30 days from the termination date unless such grantee's employment is terminated for cause.

***Senior Executive Officer Performance Option Awards***

In July 2021, the board of directors approved a 10-year performance award for each of Charles Gillespie and Kevin McCrystle (each referred to in this summary as an "Executive Optionee") that is designed to incentivize their continued leadership of the Company over the long-term, or the Performance Option Awards. The key terms of the Performance Option Awards are set out below. The total number of the ordinary shares of the Company underlying each Performance Option Award is 2,028,385, divided equally among 12 separate tranches.

*Equity Type*. The Performance Option Awards are comprised of performance-based nonqualified stock options. The Executive Optionees will receive compensation from the Performance Option Awards only to the extent that the Company achieves the applicable performance milestones. The Performance Option Awards were not made under an equity incentive plan, such as the Company's Amended and Restated 2020 Share Incentive Plan, as amended.

*Exercise Price*. The exercise price of the Performance Option Awards is the $8 per share initial public offering price of the Company's ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market.

*Award Vesting / Milestones*. Each of the 12 tranches of the Performance Option Awards will vest upon certification by the board of directors that each of the Market Capitalization Milestone for such tranche has been met. There are 12 Market Capitalization Milestones, each one requiring an incremental increase in the Company's market capitalization, initially to $500 million and by increments of $500 million thereafter, with each incremental increase being approximately equivalent to the Company's approximate market capitalization of $500 million in late 2021 (each, a "Market Capitalization Milestone"). To meet all 12 Market Capitalization

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Milestones, the Company will have to add approximately $6 billion to its current market capitalization. Except in a change in control situation, measurement of the Market Capitalization Milestones will be based on both (i) a six-calendar month trailing average of the Company's share price as well as (ii) a 30-calendar day trailing average of the Company's share price, in each case based on trading days only, and will thus require sustained market capitalization appreciation to be met.

*Term of Award / Post-Termination of Employment Exercise Period*. The term of the Performance Option Awards is 10 years from the date of the grant, unless the Executive Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated prior to such date. Accordingly, the Optionee has until the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant to exercise any portion of the award that has vested on or prior to such date, provided that he remains employed at the Company. Additionally, the Optionee has up to one year following the termination of his employment with the Company to exercise any portion of the award that vested prior to such termination, subject to any earlier expiration of the Performance Option Awards on the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant. Further, the award also may terminate earlier in connection with a change in control event of the Company, as described further below.

*Post-Exercise Holding Period*. The Executive Optionee must hold shares that he acquires upon exercise of the award for three years post-exercise (except for shares used to pay exercise price and tax withholdings, or in certain other limited circumstances described further below), or such other holding period as agreed by the board of directors and the Optionee in writing.

*Employment Requirement for Continued Vesting*. The Executive Optionee must continue to lead the Company's management at the time each milestone is met in order for the corresponding tranche to vest under the Performance Option Award. Specifically, in the case of Charles Gillespie, he must be serving as the Company's Chief Executive Officer or any other full-time C-level officer of the Company as agreed by the board of directors and the Participant. In the case of Kevin McCrystle, he must be serving as the Company's Chief Operating Officer or any other full-time C-level officer of the Company as agreed by the board of directors and the Participant.

*Termination of Employment*. There will be no acceleration of vesting of the Performance Option Award if the employment of the Executive Optionee is terminated, or if he dies or becomes disabled. In other words, termination of the Optionee's employment with the Company will preclude his ability to earn any then - unvested portion of the Performance Option Award following the date Executive of his termination. Vesting of the Performance Option Award will be suspended in the event of any leave of absence by the Optionee.

*Change in Control of the Company*. If the Company experiences a change in control event, such as a merger with or purchase by another company, vesting under the Performance Option Award will not automatically accelerate. In a change in control situation, the achievement of the milestones will be based solely on the Market Capitalization Milestones, with the measurement of the Company's market capitalization determined by the product of the total number of outstanding ordinary shares of the Company immediately before the change in control multiplied by the greater of the last closing price of a share of the Company ordinary shares before the effective time of the change in control or the per share price (plus the per share value of any other consideration) received by the Company's shareholder in the change in control. The treatment of the award upon a change in control is intended to align the Executive Optionee's interests with the Company's other shareholders with respect to evaluating potential takeover offers.

*Clawback*. In the event of a restatement of the Company's financial statements previously filed with the SEC, or the restated financial results, and if a lesser portion of the Performance Option Award would have vested based on the restated financial results, then the Company will require forfeiture (or repayment, as applicable) of the portion of the Performance Option Awards that would not have vested based on the restated financial results (less any amounts the Executive Optionee may have paid to the Company in exercising any forfeited awards). The Performance Option Awards also will be subject, if more stringent than the foregoing, to any current or future the Company's clawback policy applicable to equity awards, provided that the policy does not discriminate solely against the Executive Optionee except as required by applicable law.

**C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BOARD PRACTICES**

***Board of Directors***

Our board of directors currently consists of seven members. Our board of directors has determined that five of our seven directors, Susan Ball, Fredrik Burvall, Gregg Michaelson, Pär Sundberg, and Michael Quartieri, do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

responsibilities of director and that each of these directors is "independent" as that term is defined under the rules of Nasdaq. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or senior management.

In accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our board of directors is divided into three classes, each consisting of an equal number of directors to the maximum extent possible and serving for a three-year term. Each of our directors retires from office at the annual meeting at which their class's term expires, but is eligible for reappointment by ordinary resolution at such annual general meeting. In each case, where a director is re-appointed, the director shall be entitled to serve until the annual general meeting of shareholders three years later. At the third annual general meeting of shareholders, where a director is re-appointed, they shall be entitled to serve until the third annual general meeting falling after the third annual general meeting. At each succeeding annual general meeting following the third annual general meeting, directors shall be elected to serve for a term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual general meeting. If a vacated office is not filled, the retiring director, if willing to act, shall be deemed to be re-elected, unless at the meeting a resolution is passed not to fill the vacancy or to elect another person in his or her place or unless the resolution to re-elect such director is put to the meeting and lost.

Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the Class I directors are Susan Ball and Fredrik Burvall, and their terms will expire at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the Class II directors are Gregg Michaelson and Pär Sundberg, and their terms will expire at our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2023; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the Class III directors are Mark Blandford, Charles Gillespie and Michael Quartieri, and their terms will expire at our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024.

In addition, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association allow our board of directors to appoint directors, create new directorships or fill vacancies on our board of directors, for a term of office equal to the remaining period of the term of office of the director(s) whose office(s) have been vacated. The board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee.

***Directors' Service Contracts***

There are no arrangements or understandings between us, on the one hand, and any of our directors, on the other hand, providing for benefits upon termination of their employment or service as directors of our company.

***Audit Committee***

Our audit committee currently consists of Susan Ball, Fredrik Burvall and Michael Quartieri. Susan Ball serves as the Chairperson of the audit committee.

Under the Nasdaq listing requirements and applicable SEC rules, the audit committee is required to have at least three members, all of whom must be independent, subject to exemptions available to foreign private issuers. All members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Our board of directors has determined that Susan Ball, Fredrik Burvall and Michael Quartieri are each an audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC rules and each has the requisite financial sophistication as defined by Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Each of the members of the audit committee is "independent" as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act of 1934 and the Nasdaq listing requirements, which is different from the general test for independence of board and committee members.

Our audit committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving our accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions by pre-approving the services performed by our independent accountants and reviewing their reports regarding our accounting practices and systems of internal control over financial reporting. Our audit committee also oversees the audit efforts of our independent accountants and takes those actions that it deems necessary to satisfy itself that the accountants are independent of management.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Our board of directors has adopted an audit committee charter that sets forth the responsibilities of the audit committee consistent with the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq rules, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm and recommending the engagement, compensation or termination of engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to the board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ recommending the engagement or termination of the person filling the office of our internal auditor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ recommending the terms of audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm for pre-approval by our board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ reviewing and discussing with the executive officers, the board of directors and the independent auditor our financial statements and our financial reporting process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ reviewing our compliance with laws and regulations, including major legal and regulatory initiatives, and also reviewing any major litigation or investigations against us that may have a material impact on our financial statements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ approving or ratifying any related person transaction (as defined by applicable rules and regulations) in accordance with our applicable policies.

***Compensation Committee***

Our compensation committee consists of Susan Ball, Gregg Michaelson and Pär Sundberg. Pär Sundberg serves as the Chairperson of the compensation committee. All of the members of our compensation committee satisfy the independence requirements under the Nasdaq rules. The committee will recommend to the board of directors for determination the compensation of each of our executive officers and directors. Under SEC and Nasdaq rules, there are heightened independence standards for members of the compensation committee.

Our board of directors has adopted a compensation committee charter setting forth the responsibilities of the committee, which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the responsibilities set forth in the compensation policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ reviewing and approving the granting of options and other incentive awards to the extent such authority is delegated by our board of directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ reviewing, evaluating and making recommendations regarding the compensation and benefits for our non-employee directors.

***Nominating and Governance Committee***

Our nominating and governance committee consists of Susan Ball, Fredrik Burvall, and Pär Sundberg. Fredrik Burvall serves as the Chairperson of the nominating and governance committee. Our board of directors has adopted a nominating and governance committee charter that sets forth the responsibilities of the nominating and governance committee, which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ overseeing and assisting our board in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ reviewing and evaluating the size and composition of our board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ assessing the performance of the members of our board of directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ establishing and maintaining effective corporate governance policies and practices, including, but not limited to, developing and recommending to our board of directors a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to our company.

***Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers***

To the extent permitted by the Jersey Companies Law, we are empowered to indemnify our directors against any liability they incur by reason of their directorship. We have directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders and pay all premiums thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by the Jersey Companies Law. We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers.

Insofar as indemnification of liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our board of directors, executive officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

***Code of Business Conduct and Ethics***

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all of our directors and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, controller or principal accounting officer, or other persons performing similar functions, which is a "code of ethics" as defined in Item 16B of Form 20-F promulgated by the SEC. The full text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at www.gambling.com/corporate. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this annual report and is not incorporated by reference herein. If we make any amendment to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Under Item 16B of the SEC's Form 20-F, if a waiver or amendment of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and relates to standards promoting any of the values described in Item 16B(b) of Form 20-F, we are required to disclose such waiver or amendment on our website in accordance with the requirements of Instruction 4 to such Item 16B.

**ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS**

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our shares as of March 16, 2023 by (i) each person or entity known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our outstanding shares; (ii) each of our directors and executive officers individually; and (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Neither our major shareholders nor our directors and executive officers have different or special voting rights with respect to their ordinary shares.

The beneficial ownership of ordinary shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes any ordinary shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or the right to receive the economic benefit of ownership. For purposes of the table below, we deem shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 16, 2023, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all of our common shares. Except as otherwise indicated in the table below, addresses of named beneficial owners are c/o Gambling.com Group Limited, 22 Grenville Street, St. Helier, Channel Island of Jersey JE4 8PX.

As of March 16, 2023, we had 13 holders of record of our ordinary shares, of which 5 holders are in the U.S. These shareholders held in the aggregate 65% of our outstanding ordinary shares. The number of record holders in the United States is not representative of the number of beneficial holders nor is it representative of where such beneficial holders are resident since many of these ordinary shares were held by brokers or other nominees.

**B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

Our policy is to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that, on the whole, are no more favorable, or no less favorable, than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred.

For more information on our related party transactions, refer to Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

**Rights of Appointment**

Our current board of directors consists of seven directors. Edison Partners IX, LP, or Edison, one of our shareholders, had rights to appoint one member of our board of directors as long as Edison holds at least 12.5% of our issued share capital as of December 31, 2022, subject to certain limitations.

As of the date of this annual report, we are not a party to, and are not aware of, any voting agreements among our shareholders.

**Agreements with Directors and Officers**

*Executive engagement agreements*. We are party to amended and restated executive engagement agreements with Messrs. Gillespie, and McCrystle, and an executive engagement agreement with Mr. Mark(collectively, the "executive engagement agreements". The executive engagement agreements continue until terminated in accordance with their terms, subject to the payment of severance by the Company upon termination of engagement in certain circumstances. The executive engagement agreements also include customary restrictive covenants, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in relation to our business and employees.

*Indemnification and insurance*. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association permit us to indemnify and insure certain of our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Jersey. We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers as of the date of this annual report. See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Board Practices" for additional details.

**Share Subscription Agreement** 

In October 2019, we issued an aggregate of 2,291,543 of our ordinary shares to Edison for gross proceeds of $6.98 million. As part of the transaction, Edison also received from us, subject to the other shareholders' pre-emption rights, warrants to purchase up to 985,610 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $3.04 per share. In October 2020, we cancelled these warrants and granted Edison the rights to subscribe to our ordinary shares on substantially the same terms. Pursuant to these rights, in December 2020, we entered into a share subscription agreement with Edison and certain of our existing shareholders (including the following executive officers and board of directors: Charles Gillespie, Kevin McCrystle, Mark Blandford, Susan Ball, Fredirk Burvall, and Pär Sundberg) subject to shareholders pre-emptive rights pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 985,610 of our ordinary shares for cash proceeds of $3.0 million.

***Enforceability of Civil Liabilities***

U.S. laws do not necessarily extend either to us or our officers or directors. We are organized under the laws of Jersey. Many of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States Substantially all the assets of both us and our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process on either us or our officers and directors within the United States, or to enforce against these persons or us, either inside or outside the United States, a judgment obtained in a U.S. court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities or other laws of the United States or any U.S. state.

We have appointed GDC America Inc., as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States under the federal securities laws of the United States or of the laws of any state of the U.S.

A judgment of a U.S. court is not directly enforceable in Jersey, but constitutes a cause of action which will be enforced by Jersey courts provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the applicable U.S. courts had jurisdiction over the case, as recognized under Jersey law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the judgment is given on the merits and is final, conclusive and non-appealable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the judgment relates to the payment of a sum of money, not being taxes, fines or similar governmental penalties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the defendant is not immune under the principles of public international law;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the same matters at issue in the case were not previously the subject of a judgment or disposition in a separate court;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the judgment was not obtained by fraud or duress and was not based on a clear mistake of fact; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the recognition and enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy in Jersey, including observance of the principles of what are called "natural justice," which among other things require that documents in the U.S. proceeding were properly served on the defendant and that the defendant was given the right to be heard and represented by counsel in a free and fair trial before an impartial tribunal.

It is the policy of Jersey courts to award compensation for the loss or damage actually sustained by the person to whom the compensation is awarded. Although the award of punitive damages is generally unknown to the Jersey legal system that does not mean that awards of punitive damages are not necessarily contrary to public policy. Whether a judgment was contrary to public policy depends on the facts of each case. Exorbitant, unconscionable, or excessive awards will generally be contrary to public policy. Moreover, if a US court gives a judgment for multiple damages against a qualifying defendant the amount which may be payable by such defendant may be limited by virtue of the Protection of Trading Interests Act 1980, an Act of the U.K. extended to Jersey by the Protection of Trading Interests Act 1980 (Jersey) Order, 1983, which provides that such qualifying defendant may be able to recover such amount paid by it as represents the excess of such multiple damages over the sum assessed as compensation by the court that gave the judgment. A "qualifying defendant" for these purposes is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, a body corporate incorporated in the U.K., Jersey or other territory for whose international relations the United Kingdom is responsible or a person carrying on business in Jersey.

Jersey courts cannot enter into the merits of the foreign judgment and cannot act as a court of appeal or review over the foreign courts. In addition, a plaintiff who is not resident in Jersey may be required to provide a security bond in advance to cover the potential of the expected costs of any case initiated in Jersey. In addition, we have been further advised by our legal counsel in Jersey, that it is uncertain as to whether the courts of Jersey would entertain original actions based on U.S. federal or state securities laws, or enforce judgments from U.S. courts against us or our officers and directors which originated from actions alleging civil liability under U.S. federal or state securities laws.

**C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MATERIAL CONTRACTS**

*Roto Sports Stock Purchase Agreement*

On December 13, 2021, we and GDC America, Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Roto Sports Purchase Agreement"), by and among Peter Schoenke, Herbert Ilk, Jeffrey Erickson, Timothy Schuler, and Christopher Liss (each, a "Seller" and, collectively, the "Sellers").

Pursuant to the Roto Sports Purchase Agreement, GDC America acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Roto Sports (the "Transaction"). The total consideration for the Transaction was $26.6 million (subject to adjustments for (i) the working capital, cash, and indebtedness of Roto Sports at closing), and (ii) any transaction expenses of Roto Sports or the Sellers (to the extent unpaid at closing) payable in three tranches of cash and, at the Company's election, unregistered ordinary shares of the Company ("Parent Shares"). The aggregate cash portion of the purchase price was paid with cash on hand. A portion of the purchase price was paid on the first anniversary of the closing and a portion of the purchase price will be paid on the second anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, subject to a Seller not being a "bad actor" (as such term is defined in the Roto Sports Purchase Agreement) at the point in time when such payment is due.

NDC Media shareholders may benefit from an additional payment of up to a maximum of EUR 19.0 million ($21.9 million) to be paid in 2023 based on their financial performance during 2022, and a further potential payment of up to EUR 28.5 million ($32.8 million) to be paid in 2024 based on their financial performance during 2023, subject to such shareholder not being a "bad actor" (as such term is defined in the NDC Purchase Agreement) at the point in time when such a payment is due. We have the option to pay up to 50% of each of the earnout payments in unregistered ordinary shares. A conversion rate of 1.1138 EUR to USD (the Central Bank reference rate on January 28, 2022) was used.

The foregoing description of the NDC Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which will be filed as Exhibit 4.6 to this annual report. The foregoing description of the NDC Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NDC Purchase Agreement.

**D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EXCHANGE CONTROLS**

There is no law, governmental decree or regulation in the Channel Islands of Jersey that restricts the export or import of capital, or which would affect the remittance of dividends or other payments by the Company to non-resident holders of the Company's Ordinary Shares, other than withholding tax requirements.

**E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TAXATION**

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction.

***Jersey Tax Considerations***

This summary of Jersey taxation issues can only provide a general overview of this area and it is not a description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in the Company.

The following summary of the anticipated treatment of the Company and holders of ordinary shares (other than residents of Jersey) is based on Jersey taxation law and practice as it is understood to apply at the date of this document and may be subject to any changes in Jersey law occurring after such date. It does not constitute legal or tax advice and does not address all aspects of Jersey tax law and practice (including such tax law and practice as it applies to any land or building situate in Jersey). Legal advice should be taken with regard to individual circumstances. Prospective investors in our ordinary shares should consult their professional advisers on the implications of acquiring, buying, selling or otherwise disposing of ordinary shares in the Company under the laws of any jurisdiction in which they may be liable to taxation.

Shareholders should note that tax law and interpretation can change and that, in particular, the levels and basis of, and reliefs from, taxation may change and may alter the benefits of investment in the Company.

Any person who is in any doubt about their tax position or who is subject to taxation in a jurisdiction other than Jersey should consult their own professional adviser.

***Company Residence***

Under the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 (as amended), or the Tax Law, the Company will not be regarded as a resident in Jersey under Article 123(1) of the Tax Law, provided that (and for so long as) it satisfies the conditions set out in that provision, in which case the Company will not (except as noted below) be liable to Jersey income tax.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Under the Tax Law, the Company shall be regarded as a resident in Jersey if it is incorporated under the Jersey Companies Law unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ its business is centrally managed and controlled outside Jersey in a country or territory where the highest rate at which any company may be charged to tax on any part of its income is 10% or higher; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the Company is resident for tax purposes in that country or territory.

***Summary***

Under current Jersey law, there are no capital gains, capital transfer, gift, wealth or inheritance taxes, or any death or estate duties. No capital or stamp duty is levied in Jersey on the issue, conversion, redemption, or transfer of ordinary shares. On the death of an individual holder of ordinary shares (whether or not such individual was domiciled in Jersey), duty at rates of up to 0.75% of the value of the relevant ordinary shares may be payable on the registration of any Jersey probate or letters of administration which may be required in order to transfer, convert, redeem, or make payments in respect of, ordinary shares held by a deceased individual sole shareholder, subject to a cap of £100,000.

***Income Tax—The Company***

*In respect of any period for which the Company is tax resident in a jurisdiction other than Jersey:* 

Provided that (and for so long as) it satisfies the conditions set out in Article 123(1) of the Tax Law so as to not be resident for tax in Jersey, the Company will not (except as noted below) be liable to Jersey income tax.

If the Company derives any income from the ownership, exploitation or disposal of land/property in Jersey or the trade of importing or supplying hydrocarbon oil to or in Jersey, such income will be subject to Jersey income tax at the rate of 20 per cent. It is not expected that the Company will derive any such income.

*In respect of any period for which the Company is tax resident in Jersey:* 

The general rate of income tax under the Tax Law on the profits of companies regarded as resident in Jersey or having a permanent establishment in Jersey is 0%, or zero tax rating. Certain exceptions from zero tax rating apply, namely:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)companies which are regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission under certain sections of the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, the Banking Business (Jersey) Law 1991, or the Collective Investment Funds (Jersey) Law 1988, shall be subject to income tax at a rate of 10%, (these companies are defined as "financial services companies" in the Tax Law);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)specifically identified utility companies shall be subject to income tax at a rate of 20%, (these companies are defined as "utility companies" in the Tax Law); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)any income derived from the ownership or disposal of land in Jersey shall be subject to income tax at a rate of 20%.

***Income Tax—Shareholders***

Persons holding ordinary shares who are not resident for taxation purposes in Jersey will be exempt from Jersey income tax on dividends from the Company.

Shareholders who are resident for income tax purposes in Jersey will be subject to income tax in Jersey at the standard rate of 20% on any dividends paid on ordinary shares held by them or on their behalf and income tax may be withheld by the Company on payment of any such dividends.

Article 134A of the Tax Law contains a general anti-avoidance provision, which in the view of the Taxes Office may be utilized, in certain circumstances, in respect of individuals who are resident in Jersey and who invest in capital investments, where the main or one of the main purposes of the investment is the avoidance of tax.

***Withholding Tax—The Company***

For so long as the Company is rated for tax, or is not deemed to be resident for tax purposes in Jersey, no withholding in respect of Jersey taxation will be required on payments in respect of the ordinary shares to any holder of the ordinary shares not resident in Jersey.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

***Stamp Duty***

In Jersey, no stamp duty is levied on the issue or transfer of the ordinary shares (unless there is any element of Jersey residential property being transferred, in which case a land transaction tax may apply pursuant to the Taxation (Land Transactions) (Jersey) Law 2009) except that stamp duty is payable on Jersey grants of probate and letters of administration, which will generally be required to transfer ordinary shares on the death of a holder of such ordinary shares if such holder was entered as the holder of the shares on the register maintained in Jersey. In the case of a grant of probate or letters of administration, stamp duty is levied according to the size of the estate (wherever situated in respect of a holder of ordinary shares domiciled in Jersey, or situated in Jersey in respect of a holder of ordinary shares domiciled outside Jersey) and is payable on a sliding scale at a rate of up to 0.75% on the value of an estate with a maximum value of £13,360,000. The rules for joint holders and holdings through a nominee are different and advice relating to this form of holding should be obtained from a professional adviser.

Jersey does not otherwise levy taxes upon capital, inheritances, capital gains or gifts nor are there otherwise estate duties.

***Goods and Services Tax***

Pursuant to the Goods and Services Tax (Jersey) Law 2007, or GST Law, a tax rate which is currently 5% applies to the supply of goods and services, unless the supply is regarded as exempt or zero rated, or the relevant supplier or recipient of such goods and services is registered as an "international services entity."

A company must register for GST if its turnover is greater than £300,000 in any 12 month period, and will then need to charge GST to its customers. Companies can also choose to register voluntarily.

A company may apply to be registered as an International Services Entity, or ISE, if it mainly serves non-Jersey residents. By virtue of a company being an ISE, it will not have to register for GST, will not charge GST on its supplies, and will not be charged GST on its purchases.

The Company is an ISE within the meaning of the GST Law, as it satisfies the requirements of the Goods and Services Tax (International Services Entities) (Jersey) Regulations 2008, as amended. As long as it continues to be such an entity, a supply of goods or of a service made by or to the Company shall not be a taxable supply for the purposes of the GST Law.

***Substance Legislation***

With effect from January 1, 2019, Jersey implemented legislation to meet EU demands for companies to have substance in certain circumstances. Broadly, part of the legislation is intended to apply to holding companies managed and controlled in Jersey.

The summary of certain Jersey tax issues is based on the laws and regulations in force as of the date of this document and may be subject to any changes in Jersey laws occurring after such date. Legal advice should be taken with regard to individual circumstances. Any person who is in any doubt as to his/her tax position or where he/she is resident, or otherwise subject to taxation, in a jurisdiction other than the United States, the United Kingdom, and Jersey, should consult his/her professional adviser.

**U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations** 

The following is a description of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This description addresses only the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are initial purchasers of our ordinary shares pursuant to the offering and that will hold such ordinary shares as capital assets (generally, assets held for investment). This description does not address tax considerations applicable to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ banks, financial institutions or insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies or grantor trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ tax-exempt entities or organizations, including an "individual retirement account" or "Roth IRA" as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ persons that received our shares as compensation for the performance of services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ persons that will hold our shares as part of a "hedging," "integrated" or "conversion" transaction or as a position in a "straddle" for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ partnerships (including entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through entities, or holders that will hold our shares through such an entity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ S corporations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ holders whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ holders that own directly, indirectly or constructively 10% or more of the voting power or value of our shares.

Moreover, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences, or any state, local or foreign tax consequences, of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

This description is based on the Code, existing, proposed and temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. There can be no assurances that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares or that such a position would not be sustained. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares in their particular circumstances.

For purposes of this description, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ an individual that is a citizen or resident of the Unites States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the Unites States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ a trust if such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the Unites States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.

If a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares in its particular circumstance.

**You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares.** 

***Distributions***

Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations," if you are a U.S. Holder, the gross amount of any distribution made to you with respect to our ordinary shares before reduction for any non-U.S. taxes withheld therefrom, other than certain distributions, if any, of our ordinary shares distributed pro rata to all our shareholders, generally will be includible in your income as dividend income to the extent such distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, it will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares and thereafter as either long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. Holder has held our ordinary shares for more than one year as of the time such distribution is received. However, because we do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

should expect that the entire amount of any distribution generally will be reportable as dividend income. Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations," non-corporate U.S. Holders may qualify for the preferential rates of taxation with respect to dividends on ordinary shares applicable to long-term capital gains (i.e., gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year), provided that certain conditions are met, including the absence of certain risk reduction transactions. In addition, some corporate U.S. Holders may be entitled to a dividends received deduction. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, any non-U.S. taxes withheld on dividends, if any, will be treated as foreign income tax eligible for deduction from your taxable income or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability. If you are a U.S. Holder, dividends paid to you with respect to our ordinary shares will generally be treated as foreign source income, which may be relevant in calculating your foreign tax credit limitation. However, for periods in which we are a "U.S.-owned foreign corporation," a portion of dividends paid by us may be treated as U.S. source solely for purposes of the foreign tax credit. We would be treated as a U.S.-owned foreign corporation if 50% or more of the total value or total voting power of our shares are owned, directly, indirectly or constructively by U.S. persons. In general, U.S.-owned foreign corporations with less than 10% of earnings and profits attributable to sources within the United States are excepted from these rules. Accordingly, for periods in which we are a U.S.-owned foreign corporation, if 10% or more of our earnings and profits are attributable to sources within the United States, then a portion of the dividends paid on our ordinary shares allocable to our U.S. source earnings and profits will be treated as U.S. source, and, as such, the ability of a U.S. Holder to claim a foreign tax credit for any non-U.S. withholding taxes payable in respect of our dividends may be limited. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors about the impact of, and any exception available to, the special sourcing rule described in this paragraph, and the desirability of making, and the method of making, such an election.

The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends that we distribute generally should constitute "passive category income." A foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on distributions may be denied if you do not satisfy certain minimum holding period requirements. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and you should consult your tax advisor to determine whether and to what extent you will be entitled to this credit.

***Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares***

Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations," if you are a U.S. Holder, you generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares, and such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. If any non-U.S. taxes are imposed on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder's amount realized will include the gross amount of the proceeds before deduction of any such non-U.S. taxes. The adjusted tax basis in an ordinary share generally will be equal to the cost of such ordinary share. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, capital gain from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of ordinary shares is generally eligible for a preferential rate of taxation applicable to capital gains, provided that your holding period for such ordinary shares exceeds one year (i.e., such gain is long-term capital gain). The deductibility of capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to limitations under the Code.

Any gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Accordingly, because you may use foreign tax credits to offset only the portion of U.S. federal income tax liability that is attributed to foreign source income, you may be unable to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to non-U.S. taxes, if any, imposed on gains from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult your tax advisor as to whether any non-U.S. taxes, if any, imposed on gains may be creditable against your U.S. federal income tax on foreign-source income from other sources.

***Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations***

A non-U.S. corporation will generally be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries, either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ at least 75% of its gross income is "passive income"; or

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ on average at least 50% of the gross value of its assets, determined on a quarterly basis, is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

Although PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, based on current estimates of our gross income, gross assets and the nature of our business, we do not believe we were a PFIC for the 2022 taxable year, and we do not expect to become a PFIC for our current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, because the PFIC determination is highly fact intensive and made at the end of each taxable year, it is possible that we may be a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year or that the IRS may challenge our determination concerning our PFIC status. Because of the uncertainties involved in establishing our PFIC status, our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion regarding our PFIC status, and also expresses no opinion with respect to our predictions or past determinations regarding our PFIC status.

If we are a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder could be liable for additional taxes and interest charges upon (1) a distribution paid during a taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ordinary shares, and (2) any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, including a pledge, of the ordinary shares, whether or not we continue to be a PFIC. In these circumstances, the tax will be determined by allocating such distribution or gain ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ordinary shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year (i.e., the year in which the distribution occurs or the gain is recognized) and any year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income earned in the current taxable year. The amount allocated to other taxable years will be taxed at the highest marginal rates in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, to ordinary income for each such taxable year, and an interest charge, generally applicable to underpayments of tax, will be added to the tax. If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares, we must generally continue to be treated as a PFIC by that holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares, unless we cease to meet the requirements for PFIC status and the U.S. Holder makes a "deemed sale" election with respect to the ordinary shares. If such election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold the ordinary shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described above. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder's ordinary shares with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC, unless we subsequently again become a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares and one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be subject to the rules described above on certain distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and a disposition of shares of the lower-tier PFIC, even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

The tax consequences that would apply if we were a PFIC would be different from those described above if a timely and valid "mark-to-market" election is made by a U.S. Holder for the ordinary shares held by such U.S. Holder (but not with respect to lower-tier PFIC). An electing U.S. Holder generally would take into account as ordinary income each year, the excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder would also take into account, as an ordinary loss each year, the excess of the adjusted tax basis of such ordinary shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the excess of amounts previously included in income over ordinary losses deducted in prior years as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder's tax basis in the ordinary shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss recognized as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain from a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the ordinary shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income and any loss from such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition would be treated first as ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income) and thereafter as capital loss. If, after having been a PFIC for a prior taxable year, we cease to be classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder would not be required to take into account any latent gain or loss in the manner described above and any gain or loss recognized on the sale or exchange of the ordinary shares would be classified as a capital gain or loss.

A mark-to-market election is available to a U.S. Holder only for "marketable stock." Generally, ordinary shares will be considered marketable stock if it is "regularly traded" on a "qualified exchange" within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations. A class of stock is regularly traded during any calendar year during which such

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

class of stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. The ordinary shares will be marketable stock as long as they remain listed on a qualified exchange, such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange, and are regularly traded. A mark-to-market election will not apply to the ordinary shares for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC. Such election will not apply to any subsidiary that we own. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to any lower-tier PFICs notwithstanding the U.S. Holder's mark-to-market election for the ordinary shares.

The tax consequences that would apply if we were a PFIC would also be different from those described above if a U.S. Holder were able to make a valid "qualified electing fund," or QEF, election. As we do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information required in order to permit a QEF election, prospective investors should assume that a QEF election will not be available.

Each U.S. Holder who is a shareholder of a PFIC must file an annual information report on IRS Form 8621 containing such information as the U.S. Treasury Department may require. The failure to file IRS Form 8621 could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of these rules on the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to the ordinary shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares.

***Medicare Tax***

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their "net investment income," which may include all or a portion of their dividend income and net gains from the disposition of ordinary shares. Each U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in our ordinary shares.

***Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements***

U.S. backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements may apply to certain payments to certain holders of stock. Information reporting generally will apply to payments of dividends on, and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of, our ordinary shares made within the Unites States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, to a holder of our ordinary shares, other than an exempt recipient (including a payee that is not a U.S. person that provides an appropriate certification and certain other persons). A payor will be required to withhold backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, ordinary shares within the Unites States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, to a holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding requirements. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the beneficial owner's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

***Foreign Asset Reporting***

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals are required to report information relating to an interest in our ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their federal income tax return. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

The above description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation.

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers, and under those requirements we file reports with the SEC. Those reports or may be inspected without charge at the locations described below.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from reporting under short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each subsequent fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. We also intend to furnish certain other material information, including unaudited quarterly financial information, to the SEC on Form 6-K.

The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system.

**ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Our operations are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market and currency risk, interest rate risk, contractual risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by our board. Management identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with our operating segment. Our board of directors provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, non-derivative financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity.

Similar to other businesses, we are exposed to risks that arise from our use of financial instruments. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout our consolidated financial statements.

*Market and Currency Risk* 

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

We have exposure to foreign currency risk. Sales invoicing to customers is primarily in EUR, USD and GBP amounts, and the majority of outgoing payments are in EUR and USD payments. Our cash balances are primarily in USD.

We carefully monitor exchange rate fluctuations and review their impact on our net assets and position. Exchange rates are negotiated with our main provider of banking services as and when needed. We do not enter into any derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency risk

The carrying amount of our foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities and details of the exposure as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are shown in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Transaction exposure relates to business transactions denominated in foreign currency required by operations (purchasing and selling) and/or financing (interest and amortization). Translation exposure relates to net investments in foreign operations.

We have continued to see significant macro-economic uncertainty as a result of issues related to COVID-19, the war in Ukraine and increased inflation and interest rates. The scale and duration of these developments remain uncertain and could impact our earnings and cash flow. As part of our risk management process, we are closely monitoring the situation, including factors as outlined in "Note 3 – Risk Management" to the 2022 consolidated financial statements as it relates to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

*Transaction Exposure Sensitivity* 

In most cases, our customers are billed in their respective local currency. Major payments, such as salaries, consultancy fees, and rental fees are settled in local currencies.

The table below shows the immediate impact on net income before tax of a 10% strengthening in the closing exchange rate of significant currencies to which we had exposure for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. The impact on net income or loss is due primarily to monetary assets and liabilities in a transactional currency other than the functional currency of the entity. The sensitivity associated with a 10% weakening of a particular currency would be equal and opposite. This assumes that each currency moves in isolation.

|:---|:---|:---|
| **Increase (Decrease) in Net Income Before Tax (in thousands):** | **USD** | **GBP** |
| December 31, 2022 | 479 | 706 |
| December 31, 2021 | 2,742 | 1,194 |
| December 31, 2020 | 175 | 262 |

---

*Interest Rate Risk* 

We have minimal exposure to interest rate risk. We are exposed to interest rate risk on some of our financial assets (being its cash at bank balances). The board of directors currently believe that interest rate risk is at an acceptable level.

The term loan, which we repaid in full in December 2022, had a fixed interest rate of 8%.

Due to our minimal exposure to interest rate risk, we have not prepared any sensitivity analysis.

*Contractual Risk* 

In the ordinary course of business, we contract with various third parties. These contracts may include performance obligations, indemnities and/or contractual commitments. Management monitors our performance and any relevant counterparties against such contractual conditions to mitigate the risk of material, adverse non-compliance.

*Credit Risk* 

Credit risk is the financial loss if a customer or counterparty to financial instruments fails to meet its contractual obligation. Credit risk arises from our cash and cash equivalents and trade and other balances. The concentration of our credit risk is considered by counterparty, geography and currency. We give careful consideration to which organizations we use for our banking services in order to minimize credit risk.

We use forward-looking information in our analysis of expected credit losses for all instruments, which is limited to the carry value of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other balances. Our management considers the above measures to be sufficient to control the credit risk exposure.

*Liquidity Risk* 

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. This risk relates to our prudent liquidity risk management and implies maintaining sufficient cash. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with our board of directors. Our board of directors manages liquidity risk by regularly reviewing our cash requirements by reference to short-term cash flow forecasts and medium-term working capital projections prepared by management.

*Capital Risk* 

Our capital structure is comprised entirely of shareholders' equity, including share capital, share premium and accumulated deficits.

When managing capital, our objective is to maintain adequate financial flexibility to preserve our ability to meet our current and long-term financial obligations. Our capital structure is managed and adjusted to reflect changes in economic conditions.

We fund our expenditures on commitments from existing cash and cash equivalent balances.

Financing decisions are made by our board of directors based on, among other things, forecasts of the expected timing and level of capital and operating expenditure required to meet our commitments and development plans.

**ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS**

***Initial Public Offering***

In July 2021, we sold 5,250,000 ordinary shares, excluding the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares, in our initial public offering at a public offering price of $8.00 per share. The net proceeds to us from the offering, before expenses, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, were $42.0 million. The offering commenced on July 23, 2021 and did not terminate before all of the securities registered in the registration statement were sold. The effective date of the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-257403), for our initial public offering of ordinary shares was July 22, 2021. Jefferies LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Truist Securities, Inc. acted as joint book-running managers of the offering and as representatives of the several underwriters named in the underwriting agreement.

$6.1 million of the net proceeds from our initial offering were used to pay transaction related expenses. The balance is held in cash and cash equivalents and is intended to obtain additional working capital, to create a public market for our ordinary shares, and to facilitate our future access to the public equity markets. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures and potential strategic investments and acquisitions. Employees' bonuses of $1.0 million related to our initial public offering were paid out to employees, including executive officers, from the net proceeds of our initial public offering. Aside from these bonuses, there were no other payments made from the net proceeds of our initial public offering, directly or indirectly, to any director, officer, or persons owning ten percent or more of our ordinary shares, or to any of our related parties.

**ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES** 

***A.Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Based on such evaluation, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are described below in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at the reasonable assurance level.

***B. Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2022.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Management has determined that the Company has the following material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting:

*Control Activities* – Management did not have adequate effective controls over elements of its internal control environment, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.*Ineffective design and implementation of controls over Revenue Recognition* – a lack of controls over recorded revenue, including to ensure the existence, completeness and accuracy of data to support accounts related to revenue and accounts receivable included in the financial statement close process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.*Ineffective design and implementation of controls over Period end Financial Reporting, including controls related to journal entries* – lack of effectively designed and implemented controls to detect potential misstatements in period end financial statements and disclosures.

We have begun the process of, and we are focused on, designing and implementing effective internal controls to remediate these material weaknesses. Our remediation efforts include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Continuing to enhance and formalize our accounting, business operations, and information technology policies, procedures, and controls to achieve complete, accurate, and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Increasing the resources assigned to Revenue processes and controls including the appointment of a director to lead a new core workstream focused on Revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Enhancing the revenue reporting processes through our ERP system and leveraging opportunities to further automate revenue data processing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.Developing monitoring controls and protocols that will allow us to timely assess the design and the operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting and make necessary changes to the design of controls, if any.

While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to design, implement and monitor our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

***C. Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm***

An attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting by our independent registered public accounting firm is not included herein because, as an emerging growth company, we are exempt from the requirement to provide such report.

***D. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, we and our independent registered public accounting firm previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control environment over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 relating to (i) our lack of a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience in the application of IFRS, commensurate with our financial reporting requirements and (ii) the fact that policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting and reporting functions were either not designed and in place or not operating effectively. As a result, numerous adjustments to our consolidated financial statements were identified and made during the course of our audit.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

During 2022, as part of our commitment to implement remediation plans we put in place the following new systems, resources, processes and controls:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Adding additional resources with sufficient accounting knowledge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Adopting a more rigorous period-end review process for financial reporting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Implementing a new ERP platform; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.We engaged an outside firm to assist management with reviewing our current processes, procedures, and systems and assessing the design of controls to identify opportunities to address relevant risks identified by management,

While Management has been actively engaged in designing and implementing new controls to remediate the material weaknesses identified in the prior year, there continues to be material weaknesses as described above in internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

Except as described above, there were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**ITEM 16. [RESERVED]** 

**ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT**

Our board of directors has determined that our directors Susan Ball, Fredrik Burvall, and Michael Quartieri are each an audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC rules and each has the requisite financial sophistication as defined by Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Susan Ball, Fredrik Burvall, and Michael Quartieri are each independent as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market.

**ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS**

We adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all of our directors and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, controller or principal accounting officer, or other persons performing similar functions, which is a "code of ethics" as defined in Item 16B. of Form 20-F promulgated by the SEC. The full text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at www.gambling.com/corporate. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this annual report and is not incorporated by reference herein. If we make any amendment to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Under Item 16B of the SEC's Form 20-F, if a waiver or amendment of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and relates to standards promoting any of the values described in Item 16B(b) of Form 20-F, we will be required to disclose such waiver or amendment on our website in accordance with the requirements of Instruction 4 to such Item 16B.

"Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees for the audit of our consolidated financial statements and annual statutory financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements, review of our registration statement, and related consents.

"Audit-related Fees" are the aggregate fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit and are not reported under Audit Fees.

"Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning related services.

Our audit committee has adopted a pre-approval policy for the engagement of our independent accountant to perform certain audit and non-audit services. All of the audit and non-audit services performed for us by our independent registered public accounting firm in 2022 and 2021 were pre-approved by our audit committee.

**ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES**

Not applicable.

**ITEM 16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS**

**Share repurchase program**

In November 2022, the Company's board of directors approved a program to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Company's ordinary shares in open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The timing and actual number of shares repurchased, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, available liquidity, alternative investment opportunities, and other factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares. The Company intends to use current cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow it generates from operations to fund the share repurchase program. All shares purchased will be held in the Company's treasury for possible future use.

Below are the purchases during the three months ended December 31, 2022:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Period** | **Number of Shares** | **Average Purchase Price Paid** | **Number of Shares Purchases Under a Publicly Announced Plan or Program** | **Maximum Amount That May Be Purchased Under the Announced Plan or Program (in thousands)** |
| December 2022 | 38708 | 8.98 | 38708 | $9652 |

**ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT**

The disclosure called for by paragraph (a) of this Item 16F was previously reported, as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, in "Item 16.F. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant" of our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-257403) originally filed with the SEC on June 25, 2021.

**ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

Under Nasdaq rules, a foreign private issuer, such as us, may generally follow its home country rules with regard to corporate governance in lieu of the comparable requirements of the applicable Nasdaq rules, except for certain matters including, among others, the composition and responsibilities of the audit committee and the independence of its members within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC.

We rely on this "home country practice exemption" with respect to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**▪** exemption from quorum requirements applicable to meetings of shareholders. Such quorum requirements are not required under Jersey law. In accordance with generally accepted business practice, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that became effective

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

upon closing of our initial public offering provide alternative quorum requirements that are generally applicable to meetings of shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**▪** exemption from the Nasdaq corporate governance rules 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. Although we will require board approval of any such waiver, we may choose not to disclose the waiver in the manner set forth in the Nasdaq rules; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**▪** exemption from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including shareholder approval of equity incentive plans.

We otherwise intend to comply with the rules generally applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the Nasdaq. We may in the future decide to use the foreign private issuer exemption with respect to some or all of the other Nasdaq corporate governance rules.

We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as an FPI under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC, and Nasdaq listing 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.

**ITEM 16H. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE**

Not applicable.

**ITEM 16I. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS**

Not applicable.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Shareholders and Board of Directors

Gambling.com Group Limited

St. Helier, Channel Island of Jersey

**Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Gambling.com Group Limited (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income , changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022**,** in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

**Basis for Opinion**

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated 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 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(USD in thousands except share and per-share amounts)

**1. GENERAL COMPANY INFORMATION**

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied throughout the years presented.

***BASIS OF PREPARATION***

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and as adopted by the European Union ("EU"), and were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 23, 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for contingent consideration balances which are financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and classified as Level 3 financial instruments. Valuation methodology and main inputs are disclosed in Note 5. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effects are disclosed in Note 4.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Group changed presentation of revenue by monetization type to reflect changes in the revenue composition post-acquisitions (see Note 5); respective changes were made to the comparative information (Note 18).

*New and Amended Standards Adopted by the Group in 2022*

The Group has analyzed the following amendments to existing standards that are mandatory for the Group's accounting period beginning on January 1, 2022, and determined they had limited or no impact on the Group's financial statements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Amendment to IFRS 3, Business Combination; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018 - 2020 cycle.

***Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective***

There were a number of standards and interpretations which were issued but not yet effective at December 31, 2022 and have not been adopted for these consolidated financial statements. These amendments are not

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

expected to have a significant impact on disclosures or amounts reported in the Group's consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Amendments to IAS 8, Definition of Accounting Estimates

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Amendments to IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Amendments to IAS 12, Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction

***BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION***

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company 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 over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in control.

All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The material subsidiaries of the Company, all of which have been included in these consolidated financial statements, are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **NAME** | **PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES** | **COUNTRY OF INCORPORATION** | **OWNERSHIP %** |
| GDC Media Limited | Digital marketing | Ireland | 100 |
| GDC Malta Limited | Digital marketing | Malta | 100 |
| GDC America Inc. | Digital marketing | United States | 100 |
| Roto Sports Inc. | Digital marketing | United States | 100 |
| NDC Media Limited | Digital marketing | Malta | 100 |

---

***BASIS OF GOING CONCERN***

The accompanying consolidated 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 Group's 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 financial statements. An entity's 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 entity's 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 Note 3, and compared this risk assessment to the net current asset position. The Directors have also reviewed relationships with key customers and software providers and are satisfied that the appropriate contracts and contingency plans are in place. The Directors have prepared detailed revenue, operating expense and cashflow forecasts as well as sensitivity analyses to assess whether the Company has adequate resources for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. 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 consolidated financial statements.

***BUSINESS COMBINATIONS***

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities included, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce the output.

The consideration transferred is measured at fair value as are the identifiable net assets acquired. The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is typically based on the estimated market value for the net assets at the time of the acquisition. Any goodwill arising in business combination is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 and when there are indicators of impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Exchange rates are as per European Central Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>The average is based on published rates refreshed daily by the European Central Bank.

*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 period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

*Translation into Reporting Currency* 

The assets and liabilities of the Company and its primary subsidiaries are translated from the functional currency of the operations to USD, being the reporting currency, using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The Company and its subsidiaries functional currency is Euro, with the exception of GDC America which has a functional currency of USD. The USD has been selected as the reporting currency to ensure comparability with the financial reports of similar entities. The revenues and expenses are translated into USD using the average exchange rates for the period, which approximate the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in foreign exchange translation reserve in equity.

***PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT***

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets' carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be reliably measured.

All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Computer and other office equipment 5 years <br> Leasehold improvements The shorter of the remaining lease term or 10 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses on disposals of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized, where applicable, within 'other operating income' in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

***INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL***

An intangible asset is recognized if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of a separately acquired intangible asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. The cost of acquisition of intangible assets for which the consideration comprises an issue of equity shares is calculated as the fair value of the equity instruments issued in the transaction. Where the cost of a separately acquired intangible asset includes contingent consideration, cost includes the fair value of the contingent consideration as determined on the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes in estimates of the likely outcome of the contingent event are reflected as increases or decreases in the value of the intangible asset. The remaining changes in the value of contingent consideration are recognized as finance expense.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the Group's interest in the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Costs comprises the fair value of assets given, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued. Goodwill is capitalized as an intangible asset with any impairment in carrying amount being charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

*Internally Developed Intangible Assets* 

The Company capitalizes certain development costs related to its technological platform during the development stage. The Company also capitalizes certain costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that expenditures will result in additional functionality of the platform to its customers. The capitalization policy provides for the capitalization of certain payroll and payroll related costs for employees who spent time directly associated with development and enhancements of the technology platform.

Expenditures incurred on development activities are capitalized if it can be demonstrated that all the following criteria are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Adequate resources are available to complete the development;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ There is an intention to complete and use the intangible asset for the provision of services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The Group is able to use the intangible asset;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Use of the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Expenditures attributable to the intangible asset can be measured reliably.

Expenditures related to development activities that do not satisfy the above criteria, including expenditures incurred during the preliminary project stage and post implementation activities, are expensed as incurred in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Subsequent expenditure on capitalized intangible assets is capitalized only where it clearly increases the economic benefits to be derived from the asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including those incurred in order to maintain an intangible asset's current level of performance, is expensed as incurred. Capitalized intangible assets have a useful life of 60 months, which is reviewed on an annual basis. Capitalized definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful life using straight-line basis.

*Externally Purchased Intangible Assets*

Separately acquired intangibles include Internet domain names together with related websites and content, customer contracts and customer base.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Domain names together with the related websites and goodwill have an indefinite useful life when there is evidence based on the analysis of the applicable market trends and circumstances, management plans, expected usage and information about the ongoing cash inflows that the asset will be able to generate cash flows to the Group for an indefinite period. Indefinite-life intangibles are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually as of December 31. In addition, the Group reassesses in each period the assumptions underlying the useful life of indefinite-life intangibles and assigns such assets a finite life if indicated by changes in the applicable facts and circumstances. When this happens, the related assets are also tested for impairment. Finite-life domain names and the related assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated period during which they are expected to continue to generate cash flows for the Group. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Group had one finite-life mobile apps intangible asset, amortized straight-line over its estimated useful life of 48 months.

Customer contracts have a useful life of 12 – 24 months, which are reviewed on an annual basis. Customer contracts are amortized over their useful life using the straight-line method.

Customer base has a useful life of 16 years, which are reviewed on an annual basis. Customer base is amortized over their useful life using the straight-line method.

Content assets recognized as a part of business combinations have a useful life of 1 year, and are amortized over their useful life using straight-line method.

Intangible assets are derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition represent the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of intangible assets, and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the respective period.

***IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT***

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets that have an indefinite useful life (which are not subject to amortization) are tested annually for impairment. For the purposes of impairment assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest level which generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of the remaining assets (cash-generating units, or "CGU"s). Acquired goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit that is expected to benefit from the synergy of the combination and tested for impairment as a part of the CGU. Through December 31, 2022, substantially all of the Group's cash inflows have been generated from performance marketing assets and fantasy sports assets. Following the completed business combinations, the Group determined it has two cash-generating units.

As of December 31, 2022, the Group tested its performance marketing and fantasy sports indefinite-life intangible assets separately for impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, a full balance of goodwill of $10,800 was allocated to performance marketing cash generating unit.

The carrying amount of intangible assets (excluding goodwill) with indefinite useful lives have been allocated to the Group's cash generating units as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As at December 31,** | **As at December 31,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| Performance marketing, domain names and related websites | 61454 | 22642 |
| Fantasy sports, domain names and related websites | 8100 |  |
|  | 69554 | 22642 |

---

An impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit and its recoverable amount and is accounted for in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period identified. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Where the fair value of an asset less its costs to sell are determinable, and the fair value less costs to sell are estimated to be close to its value in use, the recoverable amount can be assessed for an individual asset. In this instance, an impairment may be recognized at an individual asset level where the fair value less costs to sell and value in use are both negligible.

The recoverable amount of the performance marketing cash-generating unit was determined with value-in-use calculations, and was based on projected cash flows for 2023—2033 in which an average annual rate of growth between 3% and 20% was assumed and a long-term sustainable growth rate of 3% was applied. The management concluded that the 10 year projected cash flows is appropriate as it reflects the period until which

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

the company reaches normalized level of growth. The projected cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 15%. The effective tax rate was estimated at 15%.

The recoverable amount of the fantasy sports cash-generating unit was determined with value-in-use calculations, and based on projected cash flows for 2023-2033 in which an average annual rate of growth between 3% and 24% was assumed and a long-term sustainable growth rate of 3% was applied. The management concluded that the 10 year projected cash flows is appropriate as it reflects the period until which the company reaches normalized level of growth. The projected cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 15%. The effective tax rate was estimated between 0% and 25%.

The methods for determining the significant inputs and assumptions are based on experience and expectations regarding market performance. The Group concluded that the recoverable amount is well in excess of the assets' carrying amount, and accordingly a sensitivity analysis in this regard is not disclosed. Consequently, the Group concluded no impairment charges were necessary.

When a triggering event arises, it may be necessary to test an asset for impairment at an individual asset level. This is the case when the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use are both negligible. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, no intangible assets were impaired.

Non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

***FINANCIAL ASSETS***

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss, or fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification of financial assets depends on the assets' contractual cash flows characteristics and the Group's model for managing such.

Through December 31, 2022, the Group's financial assets consist of trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Group's objective for holding financial assets is to hold them to collect contractual cash flows, which are solely payment of principal and interest. Accordingly, these assets are accounted for at amortized cost.

*Expected Credit Loss Assessment and Write-offs* 

The Group recognizes an allowance for Expected Credit Losses ("ECLs") for all financial assets carried at amortized cost. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.

The Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs for trade and other receivables. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The assessment is completed at the end of each reporting period.

Movements in ECLs, including recoveries, are presented within the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the period incurred.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flow from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets.

When trade and other receivables have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activities in order to recover the receivable due. If successful, the recoveries are recognized in profit or loss.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

*Derecognition* 

A financial asset is derecognized when:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

*Trade and other receivables* 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business and are classified as current. Other receivables include prepaid expenses and deposits.

Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value, which due to their comparatively short maturities, approximates their carrying value. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less an expected credit loss allowance. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade and other receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against profit or loss.

*Cash and cash equivalents* 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, cash in transit and demand deposits that have maturities of three months or less from inception, are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value based on the short-term nature of such assets and the effect of any fair value differences being negligible.

***FINANCIAL LIABILITIES***

The Group recognizes a financial liability in its consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group's financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss if they are classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument, but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.

Financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss are recognized initially at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the financial liability. Subsequent measurement of the liabilities differs based on the classification originally applied and is described below.

The Group derecognizes a financial liability from its consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract or arrangement is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Through the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group's financial liabilities consisted of:

*Trade and Other Payables* 

Trade payables comprise obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

*Contract Liabilities*

The Group's contract liabilities from contracts with customers consist primarily of deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is mainly comprised of subscription fees collected for services not yet performed, and therefore, the revenue has not been recognized. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

*Borrowings* 

During December 2022, the Group repaid its term loan which was entered into during December 2020. The two-year fixed rate term loan agreement was accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are capitalized as part of the initial carrying amount of the term loan and subsequently amortized into profit or loss over its term through the application of the effective interest method.

*Contingent consideration*

In January 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of NDC Media Limited ("NDC Media"), the operator of BonusFinder.com. The Group agreed to pay the selling shareholders further determined consideration which is contingent on the acquired assets performance in the two subsequent years. Contingent consideration was measured as of date of acquisition at fair value through profit and loss and classified as Level 3 financial instrument. Contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting date and subsequent changes in fair value of contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss as operating expenses. Measurement of the liability is conducted using option approach methodology*.*

*Deferred consideration*

In January 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Roto Sports Inc., the operator of Rotowire.com. The Group agreed to pay the selling shareholders further specified in the agreement consideration which was split into two installments and deferred to be paid as at acquisition anniversary date during the two consequential years. Deferred consideration was measured as of date of acquisition at fair value. Subsequent remeasurement of the consideration are being unwound to its present value and are recognized in profit or loss as finance expenses.

***ISSUED CAPITAL AND RESERVES***

*Share Capital* 

As of the initial public offering date, the Company's ordinary shares have a nominal value of nil per share. As of the initial public offering date, the balance of share capital was reclassified to capital reserve as a result of the change in nominal value per share. Prior to the completion of the initial public offering, ordinary shares were classified as equity. Share capital includes the nominal value of ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The excess of the consideration received from the issuance of shares over their nominal value is recognized in the capital reserve.

*Capital Reserve*

As of the initial public offering date, capital reserve includes consideration received from the issuance of shares and any other contributions made by the shareholders of the Company of a cash or non-cash nature without the issuance of shares. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares or other shareholder contributions are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Prior to the initial public offering date, capital reserve comprised of the excess consideration received from the issuance of shares over their nominal value.

*Treasury shares*

Treasury shares are shares bought back by the company. The consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity attributable to the owners and allocated to a treasury reserve until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the company.

*Share Option and Warrants Reserve* 

The share option and warrants reserve is used to recognize the value of equity-classified share options and warrants, including share-based payments.

*Foreign Exchange Translation Reserve* 

Foreign exchange translation reserve comprises foreign currency translation differences arising from the translation of the assets and liabilities of all Group entities from the functional currency into USD, the reporting currency.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

*Retained Earnings* 

Retained earnings includes all current and prior period earnings (losses).

***REVENUE RECOGNITION***

*Performance marketing*

The Group generates revenue primarily from commissions derived from referrals of prospective players visiting the Group's websites or mobile apps to the Group's customers, who are regulated online gambling operators. Depending on the customer, commission revenue may be earned in the form of ongoing revenue-share fees, one-time fee for each acquired player (cost per acquisition, or CPA, fee), or both, which is referred to as hybrid.

Revenue-share fees represent a set percentage of net gaming revenues the operator generates over the lifetime of the referred player. Negative revenue share-amounts usually do not carry over into subsequent months. CPA fees are fixed rate fees owed for each player who registers and usually deposits a minimum balance on the operator's site. Fees generated by each operator during a particular month are paid to the Group shortly after the month-end.

The Group transacts with its customers pursuant to the terms of marketing affiliate agreements and/or insertion orders, which typically do not require a minimum number of player referrals nor minimum fees and can be terminated for convenience by either party at any time. Termination or changes in the terms of these agreements do not typically affect the rights of the parties or the fees earned or to be earned with respect to the players previously referred to the operator.

The Group considers each player referral to be a separate performance obligation. It is satisfied at the point in time when the referral is accepted by the relevant operator. The Group is not involved in the operator's delivery of gaming or gambling services to players. Digital marketing activities of the Group and its subsidiaries are primarily to compile and to present content focused on prospective player education and engagement on websites and are not considered distinct services rendered to the operator customers.

CPA fees for each player referral are recognized when earned upon acceptance of the referral by the operator. Revenue-share fees for each referral are considered variable consideration and are only recognized to the extent it is probable that no significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for this referral will occur when the ultimate fees are known. Although performance is complete when the referral is accepted, the ultimate revenue-sharing fees from the referral are subject to significant uncertainties, including how long the referred player will remain active, the size and frequency of the wager amounts, and the patterns of wins and losses. These factors vary significantly between markets as well as between individual operators and are further influenced by competition from other entertainment channels, taxation and regulatory developments, disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as general conditions of the economy. Consequently, revenue-share fees are considered constrained and not included in the transaction price and not recognized until earned during each month based on the relevant player's activities. Revenue-share fees recognized by the Company are based on the revenues generated and expenses incurred by the customers and depend on the customers' calculations, which could be subject to miscalculations or deliberate misrepresentation. The Company monitors revenues by customer to corroborate the amounts reported.

The Group has no material obligations for discounts, incentives or refunds of commissions subsequent to completion of performance obligations.

Other revenues are derived from promotion services whereby the Company charges a fixed fee for providing a prominent position to a customer on the Company's website(s). The Company also generates revenue from fixed tenancy fees for operators who desire to be listed and critically reviewed on the Company's sites. Control of the promotion service is transferred over time because the operators consume the benefit of the service in real time as it is being rendered. Therefore, these revenues are recognized straight-line over the applicable service period, with variable fees generally recognized as earned.

*Subscription, advertising and other*

Following the acquisition of Roto Sports (see Note 5), the Group generates a portion of its revenue from data subscriptions and data syndication whereby a customer subscribes to these services over a period of time. The revenue is recognized straight-line over the duration of the subscription as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company records deferred revenue upon execution of subscriptions when the subscription plan requires upfront payment.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

There are no incremental costs to obtain and no costs to fulfill contracts with customers eligible to be capitalized.

***COST OF SALES***

Cost of sales includes license fees incurred as part of agreements with media partners and data and payment processing fees related to subscription access on certain websites of the Group. Such expenses are recognized as incurred.

***FINANCE INCOME AND EXPENSES***

Finance income comprises of unrealized/realized currency gains.

Finance expenses comprises of (i) interest expenses on borrowings; (ii) deemed interest charged under IFRS 16; (iii) bank and other finance charges; (iv) deferred consideration unwinding and (v) unrealized/realized currency losses. Interest expense is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

***CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX***

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

***WARRANTS***

Proceeds from the issue of common share purchase warrants (warrants) treated as equity are recorded as a separate component of equity. Costs incurred on the issuance of warrants are netted against proceeds. Warrants issued with common shares are measured at fair value at the date of issue using an appropriate pricing model as indicated in IFRS 9, and incorporates certain input assumptions including the warrant price, risk-free interest rate, expected warrant life and expected share price volatility. The fair value for equity-classified warrants is included in the share option and warrant reserve component of equity and is transferred to share capital and capital reserve on exercise.

***SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS***

The Company has operated equity-settled share-based compensation plans since 2020. Through these plans, the Group has received services from employees and consultants as consideration for equity instruments (options or restricted shares) of the Company. The fair value of the assets acquired, or services received in exchange for the grant of the options or ordinary shares is recognized as an expense.

The total amount to be expensed is determined by the fair value of the options or shares granted, which is estimated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Including the impact of any market performance conditions (for example, an entity's share price);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to hold shares for a specific period of time).

At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market performance and service vesting conditions. For options with market-based performance vesting conditions, the initial amount to be expensed is not revised, unless the grantee's service is terminated prior to the end of the original estimated period required to satisfy the vesting condition, or unless the vesting conditions are met prior to the end of this period. The Company recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. When the options are exercised, the Company, or another entity at the request of the Company, transfers shares to the option holder. For grants of options to the employees and consultants, the fair value of services received is measured by reference to the grant date fair value of the options.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Group granted restricted shares to non-executive directors. Restricted shares are transferred as of date of grant and being limited to trade between 1 and 3 years from the date of the grant. The shares are fair valued on the date of the grant using Finnerty model, and costs are recognized on straight line basis over the restricted period.

In addition, the Board issues warrants to purchase common stock to eligible participants in exchange for cash consideration paid by the recipient at the warrant market value on the grant date. If the warrants are not issued in exchange for consideration at least equal to their fair value on the issuance date, or if the Company funds the purchase of the warrants, the warrants are considered compensation. Such warrants are classified as equity-settled share-based payment transactions if they are to be settled in shares or if the manner of settlement is outside the control of the warrant holder and settlement in shares is expected. Such warrants are measured at fair value on the grant date. The fair value of the warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At December 31, 2020, one of the warrants provided for contingent net settlement in cash as a forward instrument, with the net settlement price based on a formula, in the event of termination of the holder's employment within a stated period. This warrant was considered to be cash-settled and was liability-classified as of December 31, 2020. In June 2021, this warrant was reclassified as equity as, through an addendum, it was no longer considered cash-settled. See Note 13 for additional discussion regarding the warrant.

***LEASES***

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group leases office premises in countries of its operation and applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities for future remaining lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

*Right-of-use Assets* 

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset at the lease commencement date (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred, and restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the right-of-use asset using the straight-line method.

*Lease Liabilities* 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the following payments, when applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Expected payments under residual value guarantees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The exercise price of purchase options, where exercise is reasonably certain;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Lease payments in optional renewal periods, where exercise of extension options is reasonably certain; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Penalty payments for the termination of a lease if the lease term reflects the exercise of the respective termination option.

Lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow funds under a secured loan with similar terms to those of the lease, to obtain an asset of value similar to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the incremental borrowing rate was estimated at 7%, 8% and 10.5%, respectively.

Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, or a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments).

For short-term or low-value leases, the Group recognizes lease expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

***SEGMENT REPORTING***

An operating segment is a part of the Group that conducts business activities from which it can generate revenue and incur costs, and for which independent financial information is available. Identification of segments is based on internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CEO reviews the Group consolidated reports distributed internally on a monthly basis, and includes key metrics such as new depositing customers, revenue, operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA. The Group does not divide its operations into different segments, and the CODM operates and manages the Group's entire operations as one segment, which is consistent with the Group's internal organization and reporting system.

As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, geographic analysis of the Group's non-current assets, excluding deferred tax assets, was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As at December 31,** | **As at December 31,** |

**3. RISK MANAGEMENT**

***3.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT***

The Group's activities potentially expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (foreign exchange risk and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The management of the Group's financial risk is based on a financial policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Group did not make use of derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures during the periods presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(A)Market Risk*

*(I)Foreign Exchange Risk*

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities which are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. In 2022 and 2021, the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities are mainly denominated in USD; however, the majority of operations of the Group were carried out in EUR and British Pound Sterling ("GBP"). Management performs ongoing assessments of foreign currency fluctuations on financial results; however, the Group does not enter into any derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group's exposure to foreign exchange risks was primarily through cash and working capital balances held by its entities which have Euro as the functional currency. These balances included USD-denominated net assets of $4,743 and $27,148 and GBP-denominated net assets of $6,987 and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

$11,819 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Based on the sensitivity analyses performed, movements in USD and GBP exchange rates to EUR by 10% would result on average in gains or losses of $479 and $706 to the Group's net profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, movements in USD and GBP exchange rates to EUR by 10% would result on average in gains or losses of $2,742 and $1,194. For the year ended December 31, 2020, movements in USD and GBP exchange rates to EUR by 10% would result on average in gains or losses of $175 and $262. Management anticipates 10% is a reasonable extent of currency fluctuations in the foreseeable future.

*(II)Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk* 

The Group has minimal interest-bearing assets, and its borrowings carry fixed interest rates. The risk associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financing position and cash flows is not deemed to be substantial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(B)Credit Risk* 

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The exposure as of the reporting date is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As at December 31,** | **As at December 31,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| Trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments and deferred compensation cost) | 11029 | 4253 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 29664 | 51047 |
|  | 40693 | 55300 |

---

For the year ended December 31, 2022, no revenues were generated above 10% from a single customer. For the year ended December 31, 2021, revenues generated from the largest two single customers amounted to 13% and 10% of the Group's total sales for the year. For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenues generated from a single customer amounted to 20% of the Group's total sales for the year, respectively.

The Group has the following financial assets that are subject to the ECL model: trade receivables and other financial assets carried at amortized cost. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The expected loss rates are based on the historical credit losses experienced over a recent twelve-month period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors (such as GDP growth, inflation rate and unemployment forecasts) affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

The aging of trade receivables that are past due but not impaired is shown below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As at December 31,** | **As at December 31,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| Between one and two months | 471 | 159 |
| Between two and three months | 109 | 15 |
| More than three months | 205 | 7 |
|  | 785 | 181 |

---

The Company recognized a specific provision of $345 on trade receivables in the year ended December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: Nil).

The activity in the credit loss allowance was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** |
| Balance at the beginning of the period | 142 | 352 |
| Increase (decrease) in credit losses allowance | 796 | (187) |
| Write offs |  |  |
| Translation effect | (61) | (23) |
| Balance at the end of the period | 877 | 142 |

---

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

The increase in trade and other receivables and in the credit loss allowance during the year ended December 31, 2022 was a result of the acquisitions and overall business growth.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company wrote off receivables from customers with the total value of $115, the balances were not specifically provided during the year but covered by general credit allowance provision.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company wrote off receivables from customers with the total value of $90; the balances were not specifically provided during the year.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company wrote off receivables from customers with the total value of $275, including the balance of $241 which was specifically provided.

The Group actively manages credit limits and exposures in a practicable manner such that past due amounts receivable from the operator customers are within controlled parameters. Management assesses the credit quality of the operators, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The Group's receivables are principally in respect of transactions with operators for whom there is no recent history of default. Management does not expect significant losses from non-performance by these operators above the ECL provision. The directors consider that the Group was not exposed to significant credit risk as at the end of the current reporting period.

The Group monitors intra-group credit exposures at the individual entity level on a regular basis and ensures timely performance in the context of its overall liquidity management. Management concluded the Group's exposure to credit losses on intra-group receivables were immaterial.

As cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions, any credit risk is deemed to be immaterial. The IFRS 9 assessment conducted for these balances did not identify any material impairment loss as of December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(C)Liquidity Risk*

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk in relation to meeting future obligations associated with its financial liabilities, which are predominantly comprised of borrowing and trade and other payables (Notes 15 and 16). Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash and committed credit lines 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.

The following tables summarize the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments. Balances due less than 1 year equal their carrying values as the impact of discounting is insignificant, except for contingent consideration which is payable in April 2023.

***3.2 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT***

The Group's capital management objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The directors intend to retain all available liquidity sources and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of the business and they have no plans to pay regular dividends on ordinary shares in the foreseeable future.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021 the net current asset position of the Group was $10,253 and $46,714 respectively. Management prepares and reviews a rolling forecast of the Group's operations for the 12-month period to anticipate any liquidity deficit. Per the assessment made as of the reporting date, the Group will have sufficient funds to settle liabilities in a timely manner in the foreseeable future.

The Group's equity, as disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position, constitutes its capital. The Group maintains the level of capital by reference to its financial obligations and commitments arising from operational requirements. In view of the nature of the Group's activities, the capital level as at the end of the reporting year is deemed adequate.

***3.3 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS***

Financial instruments measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of fair value hierarchy. This grouping is determined based on the lowest level of significant inputs used in fair value measurement, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Level I – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Level II – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the instrument, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Level III – inputs for instrument that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value except for contingent consideration balances which are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. A description of the related valuation process and a sensitivity analysis are included in Note 5. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value within the fair value hierarchy noted above.

As of December 31, 2022, and 2021 the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables, deferred consideration reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position are reasonable estimates of fair value in view of the nature of these instruments or the relatively short period of time between the origination of the instruments and their expected realization. There were no transfers into or out of any classification of financial instruments in the periods presented.

**4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS**

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The critical accounting estimates and judgments that we believe to have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are described below.

***CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION***

Contingent consideration is a contractual obligation resulting from purchase of a business from third parties and is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets a definition of financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted in equity. Otherwise, contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss. As of December 31, 2022 the Group valued contingent consideration using an option approach methodology.

Assumptions as part of the option approach methodology to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration as of December 31, 2022 are disclosed in Note 5.

***ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS***

The Company is required to allocate the acquisition cost of entities and activities through business combinations on the basis of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company uses external valuations to determine the fair value. The valuations include management estimates and assumptions as to future cash flow projections from the acquired business and selection of models to compute the fair value of the acquired components and their depreciation period. Estimates made by management influence the amounts of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and the depreciation and amortization of acquired assets in profit or loss. Reference is made to Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements.

***ACCOUNTING FOR ASSETS ACQUISITIONS***

As amended, IFRS 3 defines a business as an integrated set of activities and assets, which must include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Entities are also allowed to perform an optional concentration test. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar assets, the acquired integrated set does not constitute a business.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group made separate acquisitions of intellectual property consisting of domain names, as disclosed in Note 8. For all acquisitions, the Company elected to bypass the optional concentration test and evaluated if a substantive process was acquired. The Company concluded that no substantive processes were included in any of the acquisitions. When no workforce is acquired, a process is considered substantive when it is unique or scarce. The Group did not acquire any workforce, and promptly transitioned the acquired assets onto its technology platform, integrating them into its existing processes. The legacy processes underlying the acquired assets were not unique or scarce, as they were based on commercially available Internet technologies and did not incorporate any substantive know-how. The Group concluded that all acquisitions of intellectual property, other than disclosed in Note 5, were acquisitions of assets with no substantive processes acquired.

***INDEFINITE LIFE INTANGIBLE ASSETS***

The acquired domain names, together with the related assets, are assigned an indefinite useful life when there is evidence based on the analysis of the applicable market trends and circumstances, management plans, expected usage and information about the ongoing cash inflows that the asset will be able to generate cash flows to the Group for an indefinite period. Indefinite-life intangibles are not amortized but are tested for

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

impairment annually as of December 31. In addition, the Group reassesses in each period the assumptions underlying the useful life of indefinite-life intangible assets and assigns such assets a finite life if indicated by changes in the applicable facts and circumstances. Finite-life domain names and the related assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated period during which they are expected to continue to generate cash flows for the Group.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group had domain name intangibles with an indefinite useful life and the aggregate carrying value of $69,554 and $22,642, respectively. The Group also had one finite-life mobile apps intangible asset, which was amortized over its useful life of 48 months and had a carrying value of nil and $1,280 at December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group has concluded no changes to the useful lives of these assets were necessary.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually at December 31. For the purposes of impairment assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest level which generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of the remaining assets (cash-generating units). Through December 31, 2022, substantially all of the Group's cash inflows have been generated from performance marketing assets and fantasy sports assets. The Group determined it has two cash-generating units.

As of December 31, 2022, the Group tested its performance marketing and fantasy sports indefinite-life intangible assets separately for impairment; goodwill was allocated to the performance marketing cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of the performance marketing cash-generating unit was based on projected cash flows for 2023—2033 in which an average annual rate of growth between 3% and 20% was assumed and a long-term sustainable growth rate of 3% was applied. The projected cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 15%. The effective tax rate was estimated at 15%. The recoverable amount of the fantasy sports cash-generating unit was based on projected cash flows for 2023—2033 in which an average annual rate of growth between 3% and 24% was assumed and a long-term sustainable growth rate of 3% was applied. The management concluded that the 10 year projected cash flows is appropriate until the company reaches normalized level of growth. The projected cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 15%. The effective tax rate was estimated between 0% and 25%. The methods for determining the significant inputs and assumptions are based on experience and expectations regarding market performance.

The Group concluded that the recoverable amount is significantly in excess of the assets' carrying amount, and accordingly a sensitivity analysis in this regard is not disclosed. Consequently, the Group concluded no impairment charges were necessary.

When a triggering event arises, it may be necessary to test an asset for impairment at an individual asset level. This is the case when the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use are both negligible. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, no intangible assets met the criteria to be tested at the individual asset level.

***CAPITALIZATION AND IMPAIRMENT OF INTERNALLY DEVELOPED INTANGIBLE ASSETS***

Management reviews expenditures, including wages and benefits for employees, incurred on development activities and based on their judgment of the costs incurred assesses whether the expenditure meets the capitalization criteria set out in IAS 38 and the intangible assets accounting policy within the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Management considers if additional expenditure on projects relates to maintenance or new development projects. In addition, the useful life of capitalized development costs is determined by management at the time the software is brought into use and is regularly reviewed for appropriateness. For unique software products we control and develop, the life is based on historical experience with similar products as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their useful economic life, such as changes in technology. Management reviews intangible assets at each reporting period to determine potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible asset with the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. Management must make estimates related to future cash flows and discount rates that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If such assets are considered impaired, an impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset.

***SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS***

Management determines costs for share-based payments using market-based valuation techniques.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

The fair value of the equity-classified options, restricted share awards and warrants are determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, Finnerty model or Monte Carlo simulation, as applicable. One of the warrants provided for contingent net settlement in cash as a forward instrument, with the net settlement price based on a formula, in the event of termination of the holder's employment within a stated period. The warrant was considered to be a compound financial instrument with an equity component of nil. The debt component was treated as cash settled and was liability classified. The fair value of this warrant was determined at each statement of financial position date, with fair value recognized over the expected service period and changes recognized in profit and loss, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In June 2021, this warrant was reclassified as equity as, through an addendum, it was no longer considered cash-settled. See Note 13 for further discussion.

Assumptions are made and judgments are used in applying valuation techniques. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates. For options and warrants valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, these assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the stock price, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected term, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors and corporate performance.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted stock options to the Company's founders subject to market performance vesting conditions. The founders are required to hold exercised shares for a period of three years ("holding restriction") after the exercise date. The Company determined the fair value of these options using a Monte Carlo simulation and the following inputs: volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, holding restriction discount, and expected time to vest.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company granted stock options to certain employees and non-executives subject to employment or providing services to the Company during the vesting period. The Company determined the fair value of these options using a Black-Scholes model and the following inputs: volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, and expected time to vest.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company granted restricted share awards to certain non-executives subject to providing services during the vesting period. The Company determined the fair value of these options using a Finnerty model and the following inputs: volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, and length of holding period.

See Note 14 for additional information on the valuation of options and warrants.

***COMMON STOCK VALUATIONS***

For valuations after the completion of the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market, our board of directors determine the fair value of each share of underlying common stock based on the closing price of our common stock as reported on the date of grant.

In valuing our common stock, prior to the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market, the fair value of our business, or enterprise value, was determined using a combination of the market and income approaches. We believe both approaches are relevant and meaningful given our robust Company projections, publicly traded comparable stock information available and the price in the most recent equity transaction. The market approach estimates value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable public companies in a similar line of business and secondary transactions of our capital stock. From the comparable companies, a representative market value multiple is determined and then applied to the subject company's financial results to estimate the value of the subject company. The market approach also includes consideration of the transaction price of secondary sales of our capital stock by investors. The income approach estimates the fair value of a company based on the present value of the company's future estimated cash flows and the residual value of the company beyond the forecast period. These future cash flows, including the cash flows beyond the forecast period for the residual value, are discounted to their present values using an appropriate discount rate, to reflect the risks inherent in the company achieving these estimated cash flows.

Our assessments of the fair value of common stock for grant dates were based in part on the current available financial and operational information and the common stock value provided in the most recent valuation as compared to the timing of each grant. For financial reporting purposes, we considered the amount of time between the valuation date and the grant date to determine whether to use the latest common stock valuation or a straight-line interpolation between the two valuation dates. This determination included an evaluation of whether the subsequent valuation indicated that any significant change in valuation had occurred between the previous valuation and the grant date.

***TAXATION***

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The key areas in this area are that the capital allowances to which the deferred tax asset relate will be accepted by the relevant tax authorities and whether it is probable that there will be suitable taxable profits against which any deferred tax assets can be utilized. The deferred tax asset recognized as of December 31, 2022 was based on management's performance projections for 2023 – 2027. The deferred tax asset recognized as of December 31, 2021 was based on management's performance projections for 2022 – 2026. We operate in a number of international tax jurisdictions. Judgement is required in respect of the interpretation of state, federal and international tax law and practices as e-commerce and tax continues to evolve. We file our tax returns and duty calculations and estimate our tax provisions based on current tax rules and practices and our transfer pricing policy, together with advice received from professional advisors and believe that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate.

In January 2022 the Group concluded acquisition of RotoSports Inc (Note 5), which resulted in recognition of deferred tax liability on a temporary difference in fair value and tax base of intangible assets acquired as a part of the business combination. As of December 31, 2022 the deferred tax liability was partly offset by deferred tax asset recogized on taxable losses from the US based operations in the post acquisition period. The balances are presented on a net basis in the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled based upon tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) and Income.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset or liability is realized or settled.

On January 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Roto Sports, Inc. ("Roto Sports"), the operator of RotoWire.com, for consideration of (i) $14,700 in cash, of which $13,500 was transferred to the selling shareholders and $1,200 was transferred to third parties to settle sellers' expenses on behalf of the selling shareholders, (ii) 451,264 unregistered ordinary shares, (iii) $2,500 due on the first anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition, and (iv) $5,300 due on the second anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition. The Company has the option, but not the obligation, to pay up to 50% of each of the deferred payments in unregistered ordinary shares.

The principal reason for this acquisition was to accelerate the U.S expansion.

The Group incurred acquisition-related costs of $531 on legal and consulting fees. These costs were primarily expensed in 2021.

Subsequent to the acquisition, the legal entity that was acquired was merged into a newly formed subsidiary of the Group and certain acquired assets and/or liabilities were transferred to other Group subsidiaries. Since the acquisition date, revenue associated with the acquired assets amounted to $7,418. The Company cannot break out expenses incurred since the acquisition date.

Under the purchase price allocation, the Company recognized goodwill of $10,776, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The main factors leading to goodwill recognition was a SEO synergy for performance marketing cash generating unit. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of January 1, 2022 as calculated by a third-party valuation firm.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, unwinding costs of deferred consideration payable for Roto Sports amounted to $325, and resulted in total deferred consideration balance of $7,574 as of December 31, 2022, out of which $4,774 was the non-current portion and $2,800 was the current portion of the deferred consideration balances, respectively. The Group expects to incur financial expenses related to unwinding of the deferred consideration until December 2023.

Subsequently to the reporting date, on the first anniversary of the acquisition the Group settled consideration of $2,500 in cash to shareholders of Roto Sports (Note 25).

*BonusFinder*

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

On January 31, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of NDC Media Limited ("NDC Media"), the operator of BonusFinder.com ("BonusFinder"), for consideration of (i) EUR10,000 ($11,168) in cash, (ii) 269,294 unregistered ordinary shares, (iii) an additional cash payable EUR 3,832 ($4,279), (iv) an earnout payment up to a maximum of EUR19,000 ($21,850) to be paid in April 2023 based on financial performance during 2022, and (v) a second earnout payment up to a maximum of EUR28,500 ($32,800) to be paid in April 2024 based on certain financial conditions (such as revenue growth and contribution thresholds) being met during 2023. The Company has the option to pay up to 50% of each of the earnout payments in unregistered ordinary shares.

The principal reason for this acquisition was to support the growth strategy of the Group in North America.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group made a provisional payment of the adjustments for cash, working capital and indebtedness to the shareholders of BonusFinder of $4,116. As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of cash payable amounted to $226.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's net cash outflow related to the BonusFinder acquisition amounted to $10,710 (net of cash acquired).

In connection with the acquisition of BonusFinder, certain intangible assets that were purchased as part of the acquisition were transferred immediately post acquisition to another Group subsidiary in accordance with the Group's intellectual property operational policy allowing the Group to access the deductibility of the assets from tax perspective. The Group considered if a deferred tax liability should be recognized in relation to the transferred assets at the date of acquisition (reflecting to the fact that the assets had no tax base prior to transfer) which would then have been released to the income statement immediately on the completion of the transfer; this would also have increased goodwill arising on the acquisition by the same amount. It was concluded that the transfer of assets formed an integral part of the business combination and there were no significant steps outside of the Group's control which would affect the ability of the group to access certain tax attributes in respect of the assets, and, accordingly, no deferred tax liability (and associated goodwill) was recognised as there was no difference between the tax and accounting bases following the asset transfer.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group incurred acquisition-related costs of $299 on legal and consulting fees and formed a part of general and administrative costs.

Since the acquisition date, revenue associated with the acquired assets amounted to $10,400. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022, management estimates that consolidated revenue would have been $11,150. The Company cannot break out expenses incurred since the acquisition date.

Under the purchase price allocation, the Company did not recognize goodwill, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of January 31, 2022 as calculated by a third-party valuation firm.

The fair value of the BonusFinder contingent consideration was computed based on revenue growth expectation and forecasted contribution margins, and utilized the following assumptions as part of the option approach methodology: (i) probability of obtaining the financial conditions ranging from 64-100%, (ii) discount rates ranging from 7.44-7.45%, (iii) inflation rates ranging from 2.16-2.23%, and (iv) volatility of 36.5% as applied to forecasted performance conditions. At the end of each reporting period, the Company will remeasure the fair value of the BonusFinder contingent consideration. During the year ended December 31, 2022, fair value movements on contingent consideration for BonusFinder amounted to EUR10,343 ($10,852), and resulted in total contingent consideration balance of EUR28,614 ($30,675) as of December 31, 2022, out of which EUR10,538 ($11,297) was the non-current portion and EUR18,076 ($19,378) was the current portion of the contingent consideration balances, respectively. The Group expects to incur gains or losses related to change in the fair value of the contingent consideration until December 2023.

*Sensitivity analysis* 

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the significant unobservable inputs, holding other inputs constant, would have the following effects on the fair value of contingent consideration:

**14. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS**

On October 22, 2020, the Company's shareholders, in an extraordinary general meeting, approved the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan ("the Plan"). Under the Plan, employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors, on the grant date are eligible to purchase share warrants or receive share options, which can be in the form of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither right to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. The number of options granted, and the exercise price of the options is fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

According to the Plan, awards may be made for up to 2,176,128 shares as of December 31, 2022, increasing by 2% of the outstanding common shares at the beginning of each year, of the Company's shares of common stock. If any award expires or is terminated, surrendered, or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part, or results in any common stock not being issued, the unused common stock covered by such award shall again be available for the grant of awards under the Plan.

In July 2021, in connection with the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"), the Company granted options for 4,056,770 shares subject to performance vesting to its CEO and COO (the "Founder Awards"). Each Founders' Award is divided into twelve tranches, each subject to different market capitalization thresholds.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

Holders are required to hold the shares for a period of three years ("holding period") after the exercise date. As of December 31, 2022, the performance conditions were not met for any of the tranches.

The number of awards outstanding under the Plan and the Founders' Awards as at December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 is as follows:

***Determination of Fair Value of Options and Warrants***

During year ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted options to employees for 700,000 shares subject to continuous employment during the vesting period. The options were valued using Black-Scholes model with the main input data being volatility between 45% and 50%, risk free rates of 3.78% and 1.47%, and expected weighted average time to vest is 4.6 years. The exercise price and share price were between $7.53 and $11.68 per share.

During year ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted options to the board of directors of the Company for 175,544 shares subject to continuous employment during the vesting period. The options were valued using Black-Scholes model with the main input data being volatility of 50%, risk free rates between 1.62% and 2.74%, and expected weighted average time to vest is between 3.8 years and 4.3 years. The exercise price and share price were between $7.87 and $9.27 per share.

In July 2021, the Company granted options for 4,056,770 shares subject to performance vesting under the Founders' Award. Each option is divided in twelve tranches subject to different market capitalization thresholds. Holders are required to hold the shares for a period of three years ("holding period") after the exercise date. The share options tranches were valued individually using Monte Carlo simulations with the main input data being volatility of 55%, risk free rate of 1.24%, holding restriction discount of 20% and expected weighted average time to vest is 6.62 years. The exercise price for each tranche is $8.00 per share. The weighted average fair value was determined at $1.92 per share as at measurement date. As of December 31, 2022 the performance conditions were not achieved for any of the tranches.

In September 2021, the Company granted options to an employee for 10,000 shares subject to continuous employment during the vesting period. The option was valued using Black-Scholes model with the main input

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i86f21fd1a53e477284b1f0fcdaea112c_4)</u>

data being volatility of 55%, risk free rate of 0.94%, and expected weighted average time to vest is 6.1 years. The exercise price and share price are $12.91 per share.

In November 2021, the Company granted options to certain employees for 120,000 shares subject to continuous employment during the vesting period. The options were valued using Black-Scholes model with the main input data being volatility of 55%, risk free rates of 1.19% and 1.23%, and expected weighted average time to vest is 4.6 years. The exercise price and share price were between $14.61 and $14.71 per share.

As of December 31, 2020, one of the warrants provides for contingent net settlement in cash as a forward instrument, with the net settlement price based on a formula, in the event of termination of the holder's employment within a stated period. This warrant was considered to be cash-settled and was liability-classified. The fair value of this warrant was determined at each statement of financial position date, with fair value recognized over the expected service period and changes recognized in profit and loss, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value per share for this warrant as of December 31, 2020 of EUR 0.67 was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the main inputs being volatility of 55%, an expected life of 3.89 years and an annual risk-free interest rate of 0.17%. The exercise price for this warrant is EUR 3.01 per share. The remaining inputs are consistent with the below option table for 2020.

In June 2021, the liability-classified warrant issued in November 2020 was modified to additionally allow net-share settlement in the event of the holder's employment termination. The Company has the right to choose between settlement on a net-share or net-cash basis. Accordingly, effective in June 2021, the warrant qualified for recognition as an equity instrument. The carrying value of the warrant liability of $869 was reclassified as equity at the modification date (December 31, 2020: the carrying value of the warrant amounted to $151 and was recognized as a liability). During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group repurchased all 200,000 warrants at fair value for cash consideration of $800; the remaining costs in relation to the warrant of $212 was recognized directly in the retained earnings reserve.

As of the modification date, the fair value per share for these warrants of EUR 3.66 ($4.43) was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the main data inputs being volatility of 60%, an expected life of 3.4 years and an annual risk-free interest rate of 0.51%. The exercise price for these warrants is EUR 3.01 ($3.65) per share and the share price was EUR 7.13 ($8.64) per share.

Weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of other options and warrants granted during the year ended December 31 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2022** | **2021** | **2020** |
| Exercise price, USD | 9.89 | 8.18 | 3.52 |
| Share price, USD | 9.89 | 8.18 | 4.22 |
| Risk fee interest rate | 2.21% | 1.20% | 0.41% |
| Expected volatility | 49% | 55% | 55% |
| Expected option term, years | 4.48 | 6.56 | 5.16 |
| Dividend yield | 0% | 0% | 0% |

---

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of comparable companies. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual life for options and warrants issued as share based payments was 8.01 and 8.98 years, respectively. The range of exercise prices for options and warrants issued as share based payments was $7.53 to $11.68 per share, $8.00 to $14.71 per share and $3.52 to EUR3.01 per share as of December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 respectively.

***Restricted shares***

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the board of directors approved and the Group issued 32,942 restricted share awards to non-executive directors. The shares were valued using the Finnerty model with the main input data being underlying issued prices between $7.87 and $9.27 per share, and restricted period between one and three years.

The term loan was secured with the shares in the Group's subsidiaries. The term loan was accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance were $66 and are capitalized as part of the initial carrying amount of the term loan and subsequently amortized into profit or loss over its term through the application of the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group paid interest of $458 and $509, respectively, on the term loan. The term loan was repaid in full during December 2022.

**Exhibit 4.1**

**GAMBLING.COM GROUP LIMITED**

**AMENDED AND RESTATED 2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN**

1.<u>Purpose</u>

The purpose of this Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan of Gambling.com Group Limited, a Company organized in Jersey (the "**Company**"), as may be amended from time to time (the "**Plan**"), is to advance the interests of the Company's shareholders by enhancing the Company's ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and incentives that are intended to align their interests with those of the Company's shareholders. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term "**Company**" includes the Company's present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 of the United States of America, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder or other guidance related thereto (the "**Code**") and other business ventures (including, without limitation, any joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has a controlling interest, as determined by the Directors of the Company (collectively, the "**Board**").

2.<u>Eligibility</u>

All of the Company's employees, officers, directors (including non-executive directors), and consultants and advisors (each a "**Service Provider**") on the grant date are eligible to receive options and other stock-based awards granted under the Plan (each, an "**Award**"). Each person who is eligible and is selected by the Board to receive an Award under the Plan is deemed a "**Participant**." Any Award shall be granted pursuant to an "**Award Agreement**" which means an agreement between the Company and a Participant specifying terms, conditions and restrictions of an Award granted to the Participant.

3.<u>Administration and Delegation</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Administration by Board of Directors</u>. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have full and final authority to take any action under the Plan, including, but not limited to, selection of eligible individuals to be granted Awards, determination of the amount of the grant underlying any Award, and all terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations of an Award and to construe, interpret, adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Board may prescribe the form or forms of Award Agreements evidencing any Awards granted under the Plan, correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. The Board may accelerate the date that any Award which was not otherwise vested or distributable shall become vested and/or distributable in whole or in part, without any obligation to accelerate such vesting or distribution date with respect to any other Award granted to any Participant. As more fully set forth in Section 9(e), the Board shall have the authority to establish sub-plans as the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to the applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States. All decisions by the Board shall be made in the Board's sole discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award. No director, or person acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board, shall be liable for any action or determination relating to or under the Plan made in good faith. The Board, in its capacity as administrator of the Plan, shall be entitled to limitation of liability, indemnification, exculpation and reimbursement to the fullest extent permitted under any applicable state, federal, foreign or other laws, rules or regulations (or similar guidance), including, but not limited to, the Code ("**Applicable Law**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Appointment of Committees</u>. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board (each a "**Committee**"). All references in the Plan to the "Board" shall mean the Board or a Committee of the Board to the extent that the Board's powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee. To the extent required to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (if the Board is not acting as the Committee under the Plan), it is intended that each member of the Committee shall, at the time he or she takes any action with respect to an Award under the Plan, be a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (each an

<br> <br> <br>

------

"**Eligible Director**"). However, the fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as an Eligible Director shall not invalidate any Award granted by the Committee that is otherwise validly granted under the Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company or any affiliate the authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election that is the responsibility of or that is allocated to the Committee herein, and that may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of Awards to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

If any Award expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of Ordinary Shares subject to such Award being repurchased by the Company pursuant to a contractual repurchase right) or results in any Ordinary Shares not being issued, the unused Ordinary Shares covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. In addition, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7, such maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be delivered in satisfaction of Awards under the Plan will automatically increase on January 1st of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to two (2)% of the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on December 31st of the preceding year; provided, however that the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of Ordinary Shares. Further, Ordinary Shares tendered to the Company by a Participant to exercise an Award shall be added to the number of Ordinary Shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. However, in the case of Incentive Stock Options (as hereinafter defined), the foregoing provisions shall be subject to any limitations under the Code. Ordinary Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Limitation on Non-Employee Director Awards</u>. The maximum amount of Ordinary Shares that may be granted under the Plan during any single fiscal year to any non-employee director, when taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during such year in respect of his or her service as a non-employee director (including service as a member or chair of any committee of the Board), shall not exceed $500,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the Fair Market Value on the date such Awards are granted for financial reporting purposes); <u>provided</u> that the non-employee directors who are considered independent (under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Exchange or other securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are traded) may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, if any, in which case the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Substitute Awards</u>. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Board deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth in Section 4(a), except as may be required by reason of Section 422 and related provisions of the Code.

An Option, or portion of an Option, which is not intended to be or fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (as hereinafter defined) shall be designated a "**Nonstatutory Stock Option**."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Incentive Stock Options</u>. An Option that the Board intends to be an "incentive stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an "**Incentive Stock Option**") shall only be granted to employees of the Company and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code, and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements

The Board may grant Ordinary Shares subject to certain vesting and other restrictions ("**Restricted Shares**"), or the right to purchase Restricted Shares, subject to forfeiture or the Company's right to repurchase all or part of the underlying Ordinary Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant if conditions the Board specifies in the Award Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction period or periods that the Board establishes for such Award. In addition, the Board may grant Restricted Share Units, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement. A "**Restricted Share Unit**" means an unfunded, unsecured right to receive, on the applicable settlement date, one Ordinary Share or an amount in cash or other consideration determined by the Board to be equal to the Fair Market Value as of such settlement date, subject to certain vesting conditions and other restrictions. The Board shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units; provided, however, that if a purchase price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Award Agreement for each Award of Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units shall set forth the terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Restricted Shares</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)*Shareholder Rights*. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, each Participant holding Restricted Shares will be entitled to all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Restricted Shares, subject to the restrictions in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Restricted Shares to the extent such dividends and other distributions have a record date that is on or after the date on which such Participant becomes the record holder of such shares; provided, however, that with respect to a Restricted Share subject to restrictions or vesting conditions, except in connection with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Section 9(b), dividends which are paid to Company shareholders prior to the removal of restrictions and satisfaction of vesting conditions shall only be paid to the Participant to the extent that the restrictions are subsequently removed and the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Restricted Shares vest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)*Certificates*. The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any share certificates issued in respect of Restricted Shares, together with a stock power endorsed in blank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)*Section 83(b) Election*. If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Shares as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Shares rather than as of the date or dates upon which such Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, such Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service along with proof of the timely filing thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Restricted Share Units</u>. The Board may provide that settlement of Restricted Share Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Share Units vest or will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant's election, subject to compliance with Applicable Law. A Participant holding Restricted Share Units will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company (solely to the extent of any rights then applicable to Participant with respect to such Restricted Share Units) until delivery of Shares, cash or other securities or property is made as specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

8.<u>Other Types of Awards</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>General</u>. The Board may grant Dividend Equivalents or Other Stock or Cash Based Awards (as defined below), in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Dividend Equivalents</u>. If the Board provides, an Award (other than an Option granted to a U.S. Participant) may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend

<br> 5 <br>

------

Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award subject to vesting shall either (i) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to vesting to the same extent as the related Award. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be paid at such time as the Board shall specify in the applicable Award Agreement or as determined by the Board in the event not specified in such Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Other Stock or Cash Based Awards</u>. Cash awards, awards of Ordinary Shares, and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or are otherwise based on, Ordinary Shares or other property ("**Other Stock or Cash Based Awards**") may be granted to Participants, including Awards entitling Participants to receive cash or Shares to be delivered in the future and annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified performance criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan. Such Other Stock or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled, subject to compliance with Code Section 409A (if applicable). Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be paid in Ordinary Shares, cash or other property, as the Board determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, performance goal(s), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Except in connection with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Section 9(b), dividends that are paid prior to vesting of any Other Stock or Cash Based Award shall only be paid to the applicable Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Other Stock or Cash Based Award vests.

9.<u>Adjustments for Changes in Ordinary Shares and Certain Other Events</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Changes in Capitalization</u>. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any dividend or distribution to holders of Ordinary Shares other than an ordinary cash dividend (a "**Change in Capitalization**"), (i) the number and class of securities available under this Plan, (ii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share (if applicable) of each outstanding Award and (iii) the number of shares subject to and the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding Warrant or other Award (if applicable), shall be equitably adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards or grants of Warrants may be made, if applicable) in the manner determined by the Board. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Ordinary Shares by means of a stock dividend and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to an outstanding Option or Warrant are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then an optionee who exercises an Option or a Warrant holder exercising a Warrant between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the Ordinary Shares acquired upon such Option or Warrant exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Change in Control</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Definition</u>. Unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement, a "**Change in Control**" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the first to occur of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any "person" (as such term is used in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becoming a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing either (A) more than a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company, or (B) more than a majority of the aggregate fair market value of the then outstanding securities of the Company; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur as a result of (x) a transaction in which the Company becomes a subsidiary of another corporation and in which the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the transaction, will beneficially own, immediately after the transaction, shares entitling such shareholders to more than majority of all votes to which all shareholders of the parent corporation would be entitled in the election of directors, or (y) a transaction in which the person acquires newly issued securities of the Company in exchange for an investment in the Company; or

<br> 6 <br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the consummation of either: (A) a merger, share exchange, consolidation or reorganization of the Company where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, will not beneficially own, immediately after the merger, share exchange, consolidation or reorganization, shares entitling such shareholders to either (x) more than a majority of all votes to which all shareholders of the surviving corporation would be entitled in the election of directors, or (y) more than a majority of the aggregate fair market value of then outstanding securities of the Company; or (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Consequences of a Change in Control on Awards</u>. In connection with a Change in Control, the Board may take any one or more of the following actions as to all (or any portion of) outstanding Awards on such terms as the Board determines: (i) provide that Awards shall be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Code, including Code Sections 409A, 422 and 424, (ii) provide that outstanding Awards shall become exercisable, realizable or deliverable, or restrictions applicable to an Award shall lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon such Change in Control, (iii) in the event of a Change in Control under the terms of which holders of Ordinary Shares will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the Change in Control (the "**Acquisition Price**"), make or provide for a cash payment to a Participant equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Acquisition Price times the number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Participant's Options or other Awards (to the extent the exercise price does not exceed the Acquisition Price) less (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options or other Awards (if applicable) and any applicable tax withholdings, in exchange for the termination of such Options or other Awards, (iv) provide that, in connection with a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, Awards shall convert into the right to receive liquidation proceeds (if applicable, net of the exercise price thereof) and (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 9(b), the Board shall not be obligated by the Plan to treat all Awards, or all Awards of the same type, identically.

For purposes of clause (i) above, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following consummation of the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Ordinary Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, the consideration (whether cash, securities or other property) received as a result of the Change in Control by holders of Ordinary Shares for each Ordinary Share held immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if the consideration received as a result of the Change in Control is not solely Ordinary Shares of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), the Company may, with the consent of the acquiring or succeeding corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or settlement of Awards to consist solely of Ordinary Shares of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with equivalent in value (as determined by the Board) to the per share consideration received by holders of outstanding Ordinary Shares as a result of the Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Administrative Stand Still</u>. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to shareholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Ordinary Shares (including any Change in Capitalization or any securities offering or other similar transaction) or for reasons of administrative convenience or to facilitate compliance with any Applicable Law, the Board may refuse to permit the exercise or settlement of one or more Awards for such period of time as the Board may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>General Authority</u>. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Board's action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as expressly provided with respect to a Change in Capitalization under Section 9(a) above or the Board's action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Ordinary Shares subject to an Award or the Award's grant price or exercise price. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company's right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation, spinoff, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of

<br> 7 <br>

------

Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares.

10.<u>General Provisions Applicable to Awards</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Transferability of Awards</u>. Except as the Board may otherwise expressly determine or provide in an Option Award, Options shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant. Warrants shall be freely transferable to the extent permissible by Applicable Law but the Company shall at all times have a right of first refusal to acquire the Warrant by paying to the warrant holder the Warrant market value. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include authorized transferees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Documentation</u>. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)) and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including, without limitation, the effect on such Award of the death, disability or termination of employment or service of a Participant, or of such other events as may be determined by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Board Discretion</u>. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Status</u>. The Board shall determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, termination of employment, authorized leave of absence or other change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, or the Participant's legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary (as defined herein) may exercise rights under the Award (the "**Termination**"). "**Designated Beneficiary**" shall mean an individual designated to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of Participant's death, or in the absence of an effective designation by a Participant, the Participant's then living spouse, or if none, the Participant's estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Withholding</u>. The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Ordinary Shares under an Award. The Company may decide to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or wages. If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations. Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise or release from forfeiture of an Award or, if the Company so requires, at the same time as is payment of the exercise price unless the Company determines otherwise. If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board in its sole discretion, a Participant may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of Ordinary Shares, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company's maximum statutory withholding obligations in the applicable Participant's jurisdiction(s). Shares surrendered to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendment of Award</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, provided that the Participant's consent to such action shall be required unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board may, without shareholder approval, amend any outstanding Award granted under the Plan to provide an exercise price per share that is lower than the then-current exercise

<br> 8 <br>

------

price per share of such outstanding Award provided that such amended exercise price is at least equal to the then-current Fair Market Value. The Board may also, without shareholder approval, cancel any outstanding Award (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution new Awards under the Plan covering the same or a different number of Ordinary Shares and having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the cancelled award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Conditions on Delivery of Stock</u>. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company's counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any Applicable Laws, rules, regulations or contracts of the Company. The Company may require, as a condition to the delivery of shares under the Plan, that a Participant sign a waiver and release which releases the Company and the Board (or other persons or entities) from any and all claims related to the Award and/or requires that the Participant comply with such restrictive covenants, forfeiture, recoupment or similar provisions as may be imposed by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Government and Other Regulations</u>. The Board shall have the authority to provide that all certificates for Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company or any affiliate delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter dealer quotation system upon which such shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, and, without limiting the generality of Section 8 of the Plan, the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Board reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject. The Board may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company's acquisition of Ordinary Shares from the public markets, the Company's issuance of Ordinary Shares or other securities to the Participant, the Participant's acquisition of Ordinary Shares or other securities from the Company and/or the Participant's sale of Ordinary Shares to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Board determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award denominated in Ordinary Shares in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares subject to such Award or portion thereof that is canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares would have been vested or delivered, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate exercise price payable as a condition of delivery of Ordinary Shares. Such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Acceleration</u>. The Board may at any time provide that any Award shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be.

11.<u>Miscellaneous</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Right To Employment or Other Status</u>. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award or Warrant, and the grant of an Award or Warrant shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment, service provider or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Award Agreement or Warrant Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Rights As Shareholder</u>. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Ordinary Shares to be distributed with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Ordinary Shares by means of a stock dividend

<br> 9 <br>

------

or otherwise and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to such Option are adjusted as of the effective date of the stock dividend or split (rather than as of the record date for such stock dividend or split), then an optionee who exercises an Option between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend or split shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend or split with respect to the Ordinary Shares acquired upon such Option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend or split.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Fractional Shares</u>. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Ordinary Shares, or whether such fractional Ordinary Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>History, Effective Date and Term of Plan</u>. The Plan was first adopted by the Board on September 24, 2020 and approved by our shareholders on October 10, 2020. The Plan was previously amended and restated by the Board on July 6, 2021 (the "**Effective Date**"), and was subsequently amended and restated by the Board on May 18, 2022. The Plan shall continue in effect until terminated or suspended by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Awards shall be granted under the Plan after July 6, 2031, and no Incentive Stock Options may be granted after September 24, 2030, but any Awards granted prior to such dates may extend beyond such expiration dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendment of Plan</u>. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if at any time the approval of the Company's shareholders is required as to any modification or amendment under Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Board may not effect such modification or amendment without such approval. Unless otherwise specified in the amendment, any amendment to the Plan adopted in accordance with this Section 11(e) shall apply to, and be binding on the holders of, all Awards outstanding under the Plan at the time the amendment is adopted, provided the Board determines that such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Participants under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Authorization of Sub-Plans</u>. The Board may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable blue sky, securities or tax laws of various jurisdictions. The Board shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to this Plan containing (i) such limitations on the Board's discretion under the Plan as the Board deems necessary or desirable or (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall deem necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by the Board shall be deemed to be part of the Plan, but each supplement shall apply only to Participants within the affected jurisdiction and the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any supplement to Participants in any jurisdiction which is not the subject of such supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compliance with Code Section 409A</u>. It is intended that all Awards granted hereunder be either exempt from, or issued in compliance with, Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable to a Participant. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, (i) in the event that Code Section 409A requires that any special terms, provisions or conditions be included in the Plan or any Award, then such terms, provisions and conditions shall, to the extent practicable, be deemed to be made a part of the Plan or Award, as applicable; (ii) terms used in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be construed in accordance with Code Section 409A if and to the extent required; and references to a Participant's termination of employment or service (and any corollary terms) with the Company shall be construed to refer to the Participant's "separation of service" (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company. If a Participant is a "specified employee" (as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A) at the time of his termination of service, no amount that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and that becomes payable by reason of such termination of service shall be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant's death, the Participant's representative or estate) before the earlier of (x) the first business day after the date that is six months following the date of the Participant's termination of service, and (y) within 30 days following the date of the Participant's death. If any Award is or becomes subject to Code Section 409A, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, such Award shall be payable upon the Participant's "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A. If any Award is or becomes subject to Code Section 409A and if payment of such Award would be accelerated or otherwise triggered under a Change in Control, then the definition of Change in Control shall be deemed modified, only to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Code Section 409A, to mean a "change in control event" as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A. In the event that the Plan or

<br> 10 <br>

------

any Award shall be deemed not to comply with Code Section 409A, then neither the Company, the Board nor its or their designees, agents or affiliates shall be liable to any Participant or other person for actions, decisions or determinations made in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Governing Law</u>. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Jersey Companies Law, as to matters within the scope thereof, and the internal laws of the Bailiwick of Jersey without reference to conflict of law provisions, as to all other matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Erroneously Awarded Compensation</u>. All Awards shall be subject (including on a retroactive basis) to (i) any clawback, forfeiture or similar incentive compensation recoupment policy established from time to time by the Company, including, without limitation, any such policy established to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (ii) applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), and/or (iii) the rules and regulations of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Ordinary Shares or other securities are listed or quoted, and such requirements shall be deemed incorporated by reference into all outstanding award agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Insider Trading Policy</u>. Each Participant who receives an Award will comply with any policy adopted by the Company from time to time covering transactions in the Company's securities by Employees, officers and/or directors of the Company, as well as with any applicable insider trading or market abuse laws to which the Participant may be subject.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Electronic Delivery</u>. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Awards granted under this Plan by electronic means or request a Participant's consent to participate in any equity-based compensation plan or program maintained by the Company by electronic means. By accepting an Award, a Participant is deemed to consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to agree to participate in such plan or program through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the rights or opportunity granted to an Ireland Participant on the making of an Award shall not give the Ireland Participant any rights or additional rights in respect of any pension scheme operated by the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Taxation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Personal Data</u>. By accepting the grant of an Award, an Ireland Participant acknowledges, in respect of the processing and disclosure of the Ireland Participant's personal data, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Company is required to collect, process and utilise the Ireland Participant's personal data for purposes directly relevant to the employment (or services) contract between the Company and the Ireland Participant, and, for the purpose of administering the Plan, to disclose or transfer some or all of that personal data to other Companies and, as necessary, to any third party engaged by the Company to assist with the administration of the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a Company or any such third party may utilise the Ireland Participant's personal data for the purpose of administering the Plan and the Ireland Participant's Award, provided that such personal data shall be kept confidential and shall not be used by the third party for any purposes not related to the administration of the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a Company and any such third party may be located in the European Economic Area (the "**EEA**") or outside of the EEA and may transfer the personal data within the EEA or outside of the EEA (in which case the transfer shall be governed by "model contract clauses" or equivalent measures required under the European Union's data protection laws) for the purpose of administering the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the purposes described in this paragraph 5 for the processing of the Ireland Participant's personal data are necessary for the administration of the Plan or are otherwise necessary for the legitimate interests of the Company in connection with the administration of the Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;should the Ireland Participant exercise certain data subject rights in relation to the Ireland Participant's personal data, such as the right of objection or erasure, the Ireland Participant acknowledges that it may no longer be possible to administer the Plan or the Ireland Participant's Award made pursuant to the Plan and an Award Agreement and, in that case, the Award shall lapse and the Ireland Participant shall be deemed to have waived (without any right to compensation) any right to the Award.
