Promised Awards to Executives and Employees
Contingent on both proposals passing, CEO Justin Kenna would receive 418,500 units ($1.39M), CFO Michael Munoz 209,250 units ($696,803), and all employees 1,883,250 units ($6.27M) at the record-date price.

No Independent Valuation of FanEngine Assets
The board did not request or receive a third-party valuation report, so there is no independent assurance that the share consideration is fair to existing stockholders.
Analysis · GAME · Trade & Services
Stockholders are being asked to approve the share issuance for the FanEngine acquisition, a deal that will hand FanEngine sellers 30% of the company post-close, with up to 10% more in earnout shares and up to $50M in cash earnouts. The proxy also introduces a new 2026 Stock Incentive Plan with an evergreen reserve equal to 20% of outstanding shares, plus Promised Awards to executives and employees worth roughly $9.3M at the record-date price. The board obtained no independent valuation of the FanEngine assets, so stockholders are being asked to approve significant dilution without third-party assurance on fairness. The special meeting is set for October 22, 2026.
