No Independent Valuation of FanEngine Assets
The Board did not request or receive an independent third-party valuation report for the FanEngine assets, so there is no expert assurance that the share consideration is fair to existing stockholders.

Analysis · GAME · Trade & Services
GameSquare's definitive proxy locks in an October 22, 2026 special meeting to approve the FanEngine asset acquisition — a deal that would hand FanEngine sellers 30% of post-close shares plus up to 10% more in earnouts and up to $50M in cash. The filing also introduces a new 2026 Stock Incentive Plan with an evergreen reserve equal to 20% of outstanding shares, replacing the expiring 2024 Plan. The Board did not obtain an independent valuation of the FanEngine assets, so shareholders are being asked to approve significant dilution without expert assurance on fairness. Against a backdrop of going-concern doubt and material internal control weaknesses disclosed in the August 10-Q, this proxy is the final step before a transformative, highly dilutive transaction.
