The Transaction

The Agreement provides that ZeU will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Money Line, though a wholly-owned subsidiary (“ZeU Sub”) for consideration of $1,501,500 paid as to $1,500,000 in the form of unsecured convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) of ZeU Sub and the issuance of 1,500,000 non-transferable ZeU Share purchase warrants (the “ZeU Warrants”) of ZeU, each entitling the holder to acquire one (1) ZeU Share at a price of $0.91 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”).

The principal amount of the Convertible Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum from and including their date of issue until the earlier of their date of conversion and the date which is 48 months from the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”), and will be redeemable at any time until the Maturity Date.

The principal amount of the Convertible Debentures together with the accrued interests will automatically convert in common shares of ZeU Sub on the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date; and (ii) a liquidity event, at a conversion price equal to the higher of: (a) $1.50; and (b) the last financing price of ZeU Sub.

The Convertible Debentures holders will also have the option at any time after the Closing Date and prior to the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) a liquidity event, to convert all of the principal amount together with accrued interest into ZeU Shares at a price equal to the higher of: (a) $1.00; and (b) the 5 days vwap of the ZeU Shares.

The ZeU Shares issued pursuant to the Transaction, and upon any conversion triggered by the Convertible Debentures holders, will be subject to subject to regulatory resale restrictions.

The issuance of the debentures will be adding $1,500,000 to the long term debt of the Company and should be consolidated with the long term debt of the parent company.

Conditions

The Transaction completion is conditional on several conditions, including completion of a definitive agreement, final due diligence, Money Line minority shareholders’ approval and CSE approval. It is expected to be completed in or around the end of Q2 2021.

The Market


While the US sports betting market has grown rapidly since the repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) removed a federal ban on online gambling, only 13 states have legalized online gambling at this point. Many more are expected to follow in the coming years, with the addressable market significantly expanding as a result. Total online sports betting revenues in the US are forecasted to reach US $4 billion in 2022 and amount to nearly US $40 billion in 2033*. (*Data from Vixio and Goldman Sachs)

Money Line will become an integral part of ZeU and will continue to operate as a separate business unit with its current management team and employees, led by CEO Frank Dumas. Money Line will integrate with ZeU’s current organization where relevant to generate efficiencies and additional revenue streams through subscription-based sporting events, wagering and digital transaction fees through the P2P blockchain-based networking.

Frank Dumas, ZeU’s President & CEO, commented: “(…) this acquisition highlights one of the Company’s core strategic objectives – generating recurring revenues with high gross margins. (…) many of the Money Line’s core competencies dovetail with ZeU’s operational synergies (…) leading to a ‘stronger together’ dynamic (…) shortening lead times and bringing us to newer markets faster. (…) We anticipate this strategic acquisition will be an exceptional constellation in the ZeUniverse. (…)”.

“(…) The timing could not be more perfect as we have recently seen a dramatic change in legislation in favor of online wagering within the US. Companies including Draft Kings, Fan Duel, MGM among others have recently been licensed to enter the online sportsbook and wagering markets within multiple legal state jurisdictions and are now actively advertising online wagering and sportsbooks during national sporting event broadcasts (…)”, stated B. Michael Friedman, Founder of Money Line Sports. “(…) We are extremely enthusiastic about this acquisition and access to the public markets through transaction with ZeU. This move will quickly solidify Money Line’s unique value proposition within the gaming sector providing subscription-based live streaming sports, wagering in legal jurisdictions (…)”.
