Inc. (“Gamehaus”), a mobile game publishing company, announced that
they had entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement

Combination”). As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Gamehaus

publishing company dedicated to nurturing partnerships with and

Transaction Overview
Upon consummation of the Business Combination,
Gamehaus Holdings Inc., a newly formed holding company (“Gamehaus
Holdings” or “Pubco”), will seek to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock
Market. The outstanding shares of Golden Star and Gamehaus will be
converted into the right to receive shares of Pubco. The
transaction represents a post-combination enterprise value of $500
million for Gamehaus upon closing of the Business Combination.
The transaction has been approved by the boards
of directors of both Golden Star and Gamehaus and is expected to be
consummated in the fourth quarter of 2023 or early 2024, subject to
regulatory approvals, the approvals by the shareholders of Golden
Star and Gamehaus, and the satisfaction of certain other customary
closing conditions, including that the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) completes its review of the proxy
statement/prospectus relating to the proposed Business Combination,
and approval by the Nasdaq Stock Market to list the securities of
Pubco.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination,
the combined company is expected to operate under the name Gamehaus
and as a Nasdaq-listed public company trading under a new ticker
symbol. Gamehaus’ executive management team will continue to lead
the combined company. All cash remaining on the combined company’s
balance sheet at the closing of the transaction, after the
settlement of transaction-related expenses, is expected to be
utilized by the combined company for working capital, growth, and
other general corporate purposes.
The description of the Business Combination
contained herein is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety

of the transaction terms and a copy of the definitive Merger
Agreement will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be
