The disclosure set forth in Item 8.01 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

As previously reported, on June 30, 2023, EBET, Inc. (the “Company”), the subsidiaries of the Company and CP BF Lending, LLC (“Lender”), entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with respect to the credit agreement between the Company and the Lender (“Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company acknowledged, among other items, that, as of June 30, 2023, it was in default under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies against the Company and the guarantors under the Credit Agreement. On April 12, 2024, the parties entered into a fourth amendment to Credit Agreement (“Amendment”) pursuant to which the Company acknowledged that due to the issuance of an arbitration award against the Company on or about January 5, 2024, a Termination Event (“Termination Event”) had occurred under the Credit Agreement and Forbearance Agreement and whereon the Lender agreed that that the effective date of such Termination Event date would not take effect until June 17, 2024.

 

On May 2, 2024, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company and the Lender entered into Forbearance Agreement Amendment No. 3 whereby among other items, the parties confirmed the date of effectiveness of the Termination Event to be the earlier to occur of June 17, 2024 or the occurrence of another event of default.

 

On June 17, 2024, the Termination Event took effect and the Lender’s agreement to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement ceased. As of June 17, 2024, the Company’s total obligations to the Lender were $37,117,573.56, consisting of principal (inclusive of PIK interest) and any and all other accrued but unpaid interest to date, but not including fees, costs and expenses now or in the future due either directly or by way of reimbursement, all of which is immediately due and payable. The Company does not have sufficient funds to repay the Lender and does not have any commitments for additional funds. On June 18, 2024, the Lender sent the Company and its subsidiaries that guaranteed the debt obligations notice of termination and reservation of all rights under the Credit Agreement.

 

On July 15, 2024, the Company received a notice of public foreclosure auction sale under Section 9-610 and 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code from the Lender (the “Notice”). The Company has been informed that a public auction of certain Company assets will occur on August 1, 2024. The assets include the equity and business operations contained in EBET’s subsidiary Karamba Limited, which materially includes the Company’s websites www.karamba.com, www.generationvip.com, www.hopa.com, www.scratch2cash.com, www.griffoncasino.com, www.bettarget.com, and www.dansk777.com (“Sites”) and other assets of EBET (including any and all litigation claims) and equity of certain other of EBET subsidiaries. The sale of the assets is being effected via a statutory procedure under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which permits a creditor to exercise its right of foreclosure subsequent to a borrower’s loan default, take control of collateral assets of a borrower and sell them while reserving rights to credit bid.

 

If the auction is completed, the Sites and other assets and certain of EBET subsidiary equity holdings will be sold, and while it is expected that the Sites will continue to operate without change, the EBET, Inc. entity itself will cease to have any further business operations.

 

The Form of Sale Advertisement included in the Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
