This Schedule 13D/A provides full details of a significant share repurchase by Motorsport Games Inc. from Driven Lifestyle Group LLC, a major shareholder. The company bought back 904,395 shares of Class A Common Stock for $3.72 million, representing approximately 16% of the company's market capitalization. This transaction, previously announced in an 8-K on April 23, 2026, fundamentally shifts control and corporate governance. Driven Lifestyle Group LLC's beneficial ownership has decreased to 5.0% of Class A Common Stock, and crucially, all 700,000 of their Class B Common Stock shares, which carried disproportionate voting power, have been cancelled. Concurrently, the agreement includes irrevocable consents from Driven Lifestyle to implement significant governance changes, such as eliminating shareholders' ability to act by written consent and requiring all stockholder actions to occur at formal meetings. These changes, also detailed in a PRE 14C on April 23, 2026, centralize power with the Board of Directors and reduce minority shareholder influence. The termination of Driven Lifestyle's 10b5-1 plan facilitated this off-market transaction. This event marks a critical consolidation of power and a substantial reduction in a key insider's stake and voting influence, with significant implications for future shareholder rights.
