NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments (including all those of a recurring nature and those necessary in order for the financial statements to not be misleading) and all disclosures to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in our 2023 Form 10-K ("2023 10-K").
Use of estimates and assumptions. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors considered relevant to the circumstances. Such decisions include the selection of applicable accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application, the results of which impact reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in future economic conditions or other business circumstances may affect the outcomes of the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
8
Consolidation. The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Progressive Games Partner, LLC ("PGP") and Galaxy Gaming-01 LLC ("GG-01"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications. Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentations and had no effect on net income.
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of deposits held at major banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. With the exception of funds held outside the U.S., these deposits are in insured banking institutions, which are insured up to $
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable are stated at face value net of allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the allowance for expected credit losses balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in the current environmental economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast. The allowance for expected credit losses on financial instruments is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing. Accounts are written off when management deems them to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was
Goodwill. The excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill. The Company tests for possible impairment of goodwill at least annually, or when circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company has the option to begin with a qualitative assessment, commonly referred to as “Step 0”, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. This qualitative assessment may include, but is not limited to, reviewing factors such as the general economic environment, industry and market conditions, changes in key assumptions used since the most recently performed valuation and overall financial performance of the reporting units. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, and depending upon the results of that measurement, the recorded goodwill may be written down and charged to income from operations when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.

Software |
Software relates primarily to assets where costs are capitalizable during the application development phase. External and internal labor-related costs associated with product development are included in software. The Company reviews its identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized for identifiable intangibles, other than goodwill, when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount.
Fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as a market-based measurement intended to estimate the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. These inputs are categorized as follows:
9
The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt approximates its carrying value based upon our expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk (level 2). The Company currently has no financial instruments measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis based on valuation reports provided by counterparties.
Leases. The Company classifies leases at inception as operating leases or finance leases in accordance with ASC 842, "Leases." We account for lease components (such as rent payments) separately from non-lease components (such as common-area maintenance costs, real estate and sales taxes and insurance costs). Operating and finance leases with terms greater than 12 months are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities. Lease liabilities are amortized over the lease term using the effective interest method, while lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life or the lease term. The discount rate used to determine present value is typically the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, unless the implicit rate in the lease is readily determinable. Subsequent changes in lease terms or payments are adjusted accordingly. See Note 5.
Revenue recognition. We account for our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). See Note 3.
Foreign currency translation. Gains and losses from settlement of transactions involving foreign currency amounts are included in other income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains and losses resulting from translating assets and liabilities from the functional currency to U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit.
Basic and diluted loss per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan, and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
Segment information. We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We currently have
Other significant accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in our 2023 10-K. There have been no material changes to those policies.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU 2023-07 provides for improved financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Accounting Standard Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Accounting Standard Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue recognition. We generate revenue primarily from the licensing of our intellectual property and the intellectual property that we license from third parties. We recognize revenue under recurring fee license contracts monthly as we satisfy our performance obligation, which consists of granting the customer the right to use our intellectual property. Amounts billed are determined based on flat rates or usage rates stipulated in the customer contract.
From time to time, we may sell the perpetual right to use our intellectual property for our progressive gaming systems, that is separate from the licensing of our game content and from time to time, sell the units used to deliver the progressive gaming systems. Control transfers and we recognize revenue at a point in time when the gaming system is available for use by a customer, which is no earlier than the shipment of the products to the customer or an intermediary for the customer.
From time to time, the Company licenses intellectual property from third-party owners and re-licenses that intellectual property to its casino clients. In these arrangements, the Company usually agrees to pay the owner of the intellectual property a royalty based on the revenues the Company receives from licensing the intellectual property to its casino clients. Royalties are recorded net in revenue.
Disaggregation of revenue
The following table disaggregates our revenue by geographic location for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. All of the royalty expense that is charged to a contra-revenue in our online gaming operating segment has been allocated to the Europe, Middle East and Africa region in both periods presented.

Contract liabilities. Amounts billed and cash received in advance of performance obligations fulfilled are recorded as contract liabilities and recognized as revenue when performance obligations are fulfilled.
On May 10, 2023, the Company and a customer entered into an amended and restated agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement amends and restates a previous agreement between the parties, dated June 2, 2015, for the provision of licenses for certain table game content and related intellectual property which the Company, succeeded to as successor in interest by merger with PGP.
The Agreement guarantees a minimum payment from the customer of €
For years 5 through 10 of the contract, the amount to be billed is based on the actual usage from the Licensee. Invoices will be billed on a monthly basis. Revenue for years 5 through 10 will be recognized when actual usage is incurred.
Contract Assets. The Company’s contract assets consist solely of unbilled receivables which are recorded when the Company recognizes revenue in advance of billings. Unbilled receivables are included in the balance of Accounts receivable, net of allowance on the balance sheet and totaled $
Intellectual property agreements. From time to time, the Company purchases or licenses intellectual property from third-parties and the Company, in turn, utilizes that intellectual property in certain games sold to clients. In these purchase agreements, the Company may agree to pay the seller of the intellectual property a fee if and when the Company receives revenue from games containing the intellectual property.

Legal proceedings. In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory government investigations and other matters, including those in which we are a plaintiff or defendant, that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. See "Litigation Related to the Merger" in Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report.
An unexpected adverse judgment in any pending litigation could cause a material impact on our business operations, intellectual property, results of operations or financial position. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we believe costs associated with litigation will not have a material impact on our financial position or liquidity but may be material to the results of operations in any given period and, accordingly,
Intellectual property agreements. From time to time, the Company purchases intellectual property from third-parties and the Company, in turn, utilizes that intellectual property in certain games licensed to clients.

Recent Developments
On July 18, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Evolution Malta Holding Limited, a company registered in Malta (“Parent”), and Galaga Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Revenue
Recurring core revenue increased $1,204,673, or 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by favorable revenue from our EZ Baccarat distribution arrangement, which began in September 2023, along with the continued success of our side bets and progressive products. Royalties netted against gross core revenue increased $615,084 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was attributable to royalties paid on our EZ Baccarat revenues. Perpetual license sales of our progressive gaming systems reached $705,000, representing a 54% percent increase for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross digital revenues of $3,513,194, increased $968,367, or 38% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This favorable growth reflects the ongoing expansion of digital content into new markets and the continued success of our competitive branded products, particularly the well-known 21+3. Net of royalties, digital revenues increased to $2,516,738, representing growth of 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Costs and Expenses
Cost of ancillary products and assembled component expense increased $155,024, or 83% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase reflects the component costs associated with the rise in perpetual license sales of our progressive gaming systems compared to the same period in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,074,390, or 50% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This change was due to expenses associated with special projects of $2,244,885, notably legal expenses incurred related to the acquisition by Evolution and to a lesser extent driven by higher internal labor and related expenses (base salary, commissions, payroll-related taxes, bonus accrual and travel), increased repair and maintenance costs of leased machines, and increased information technology costs. Without the costs associated with the acquisition by Evolution and excluding the related transaction fees of $2,244,885, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $170,495, or 4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $261,493 compared to $226,405 for the comparable prior-year period, representing an increase of $35,088, or 15%. This increase was driven by higher payroll costs due to increased headcount, employee bonuses, and the ongoing development of internal software placed in service.
Depreciation and amortization increased $133,499, or 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by depreciation expense associated with incremental placements of assets deployed at client locations.
Stock-based compensation expenses decreased 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to a change in the level and the composition of fees paid to members of our Board of Directors in 2024 and lower stock-based compensation for officers and consultants.
Interest expense remained relatively flat, with a 0% change for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Interest income increased 2% compared to the prior year period, benefitting from higher cash balances and rising interest rates.
Income tax provision was $7,197 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to income tax provision of $41,642 for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease in expense is primarily driven by the increase in loss before provision for income taxes.
Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $2,197,914 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss of approximately $1,455,158 for the same period in the prior year. Without the professional fees, acquisition costs and other fees associated with the acquisition by Evolution, and excluding the related transactions fees of $2,244,885 from selling, general, and administrative expenses, we would have net income of $46,971, representing a $1,502,129 or 103% increase for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to net income to exclude interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency exchange (gain) loss and severance and other expenses related to litigation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate our operating performance. Management believes that disclosure of the Adjusted EBITDA metric offers investors, regulators and other stakeholders a view of our operations in the same manner management evaluates our performance. When combined with U.S. GAAP results, management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a comprehensive understanding of our financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

(2) Represents costs associated with the severance of employees

(4) Represents professional fees and transaction related fees incurred related to acquisitions, mergers and professional fees incurred for other projects not considered part of the normal course of business.
(5) Represents non-cash charge related to the write off of certain fixed assets.
(6) Represents foreign exchange losses and gains associated with the fluctuations of foreign currency rates.
Liquidity and capital resources. We have generally been able to fund our continuing operations, our investments, and the interest expense and principal amortization under our existing borrowings through cash flow from operations. We may require additional capital to undertake acquisitions or to repay in full our indebtedness. Our ability to access capital for these activities will depend on conditions in the capital markets and investors’ perceptions of our business prospects and such conditions and perceptions may not always favor us.
As of September 30, 2024, we had total current assets of $24,831,519 and total assets of $41,967,121. As of December 31, 2023, we had total current assets of $22,156,035 and total assets of $40,475,800. The increase in current assets as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 was due to the increased cash and cash equivalents driven by cash provided from operating activities and increased accounts receivable. The increase in total assets as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 was primarily due to the increase of current assets noted above and offset by a decrease in other intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets as a result of amortization in the 2024 period.
Our total current liabilities as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 increased to $7,065,564 from $4,875,967. This increase was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable related to professional fees in connection with the acquisition by Evolution.
Based on our current forecast of operations, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months and to meet the obligations under our financing arrangements as they come due.
We continue to file applications for new or enhanced licenses in several jurisdictions, which may result in significant future legal and regulatory expenses. A significant increase in such expenses may require us to postpone growth initiatives or investments in personnel, assemblies in process and research and development of our products. It is our intention to continue such initiatives and investments.
23
However, to the extent we are not able to achieve our growth objectives or raise additional capital, we will need to evaluate the reduction of operating expenses.
Our operating activities provided cash of $3,027,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $399,450 provided for the comparable prior year period. This change is attributable to a favorable variance of $3,244,234 in use of assets and liabilities that relate to operations. Additionally, depreciation and amortization increased $450,213 related to increased capitalization of intangible assets and offset by a $175,707 decline in stock-based compensation from the vesting of stock options and a $141,408 decrease in bad debt expense.
Investing activities used cash of $1,181,403 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash used of $1,290,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease in cash used was primarily due to the increase in the transfer of title of assets deployed at client locations to perpetual license customers offset by the increase of cash used for the acquisition of assets deployed at client locations.
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $648,038. This compares to $1,409,803 cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in cash used was due to the absence of principal payments on our borrowings based on the "Excess Cash Flow" calculation as defined by the terms in the Fortress Credit Agreement (Note 6), in the 2024 period.
Critical accounting policies and estimates. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are described in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to those policies.
Off-balance sheet arrangements. As of September 30, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements. We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the effectiveness of control and procedures and internal controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We have been named in and have brought lawsuits in the normal course of business. See Note 7 above and Note 10 to our audited financial statements included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Financial Information” in our 2023 10-K.
Litigation Related to the Merger
Beginning on September 11, 2024, seven purported stockholders of Galaxy have sent demands to the Company and two of which included draft complaints. On October 18, 2024, two purported stockholders filed complaints, relating to the Merger Agreement disclosures, captioned Finger v. Galaxy Gaming, Inc., et al., Index No. 655536/2024 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) and Coffman v. Galaxy Gaming, Inc., et al., Index No. 655530/2024 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.). The demand letters and complaints allege that the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company on September 26, 2024 is materially incomplete and misleading because it omitted certain information related to the Merger (as defined herein), including but not limited to information about the Company’s financial projections and analyses performed by Galaxy’s financial advisor, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. While we believe that the disclosures set forth in the proxy statement comply fully with all applicable law and deny the allegations in the demand letters and the complaints, in order to moot plaintiffs’ disclosure claims, avoid nuisance and possible expense and business delays, and provide additional information to our stockholders, on November 1, 2024, we determined to voluntarily supplement certain disclosures in the proxy statement related to the purported stockholders’ claims.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the risk factors set forth below, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties set forth in our other filings with the SEC, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The announcement and pendency of our agreement to be acquired by Parent may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and our stock price, and may result in the loss of employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners.
On July 18, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreement. We are subject to risks in connection with the announcement and pendency of the Merger, regardless of whether the Merger is completed, including, but not limited to, the following:
26
The adverse effects of the pendency of the Merger could be exacerbated by any delays in completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.
While the Merger is pending, we are subject to contractual restrictions that could harm our business, operating results and our stock price.
The Merger Agreement includes restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the completion of the Merger, generally requiring us to conduct our businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course of business, to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in seeking regulatory approvals, and to not engage in certain specified activities without Parent’s prior consent. We may find that these and other obligations in the Merger Agreement may delay or prevent us from or limit our ability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments and future business opportunities that may arise during such period, even if our management and board of directors think they may be advisable. These restrictions could adversely impact our business, operating results and our stock price and our perceived acquisition value, regardless of whether the Merger is completed.
The failure to complete the Merger within the expected timeframe or at all, may adversely affect our business and our stock price.
The consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and the receipt of certain gaming regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that these conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied, or that the Merger will be completed on the proposed terms, within the expected timeframe or at all. If the Merger is not completed, we may be subject to negative publicity or be negatively perceived by the investment or business communities and our stock price could fall to the extent that our current stock price reflects an assumption that the Merger will be completed. Furthermore, if the Merger is not completed, regardless of the reason, we may suffer other consequences that could adversely affect our business and results of our operations.
The Merger Agreement with Parent limits our ability to pursue alternative transactions which could deter a third party from proposing an alternative transaction.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to certain exceptions, limit our ability to initiate, solicit, or knowingly facilitate, (including by way of furnishing non-public information) the submission of any inquiries, regarding, or the making of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or take certain other restricted actions in connection therewith. It is possible that these or other provisions in the Merger Agreement might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our outstanding common stock from considering or proposing an acquisition or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire our common stock than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.
We and our directors may be subject to litigation challenging the Merger, and an unfavorable judgment or ruling in any such lawsuits could prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger and/or result in substantial costs.
Beginning on September 11, 2024, seven purported stockholders of Galaxy have sent demands to the Company, two of which included draft complaints. On October 18, 2024, two purported stockholders filed complaints relating to the Merger Agreement disclosures, captioned Finger v. Galaxy Gaming, Inc., et al., Index No. 655536/2024 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) and Coffman v. Galaxy Gaming, Inc., et al., Index No. 655530/2024 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.). The demand letters and complaints allege that the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company on September 26, 2024, is materially incomplete and misleading because it omitted certain information related to the Merger (as defined herein), including but not limited to information about the Company’s financial projections and analyses performed by Galaxy’s financial advisor, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc.
Additional lawsuits and demand letters arising out of the Merger may also be filed or received in the future. The outcome of any such demands and complaints and any litigation ensuing from such demands and complaints cannot be assured, including the amount of fees and costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection therewith. Whether or not any plaintiff’s claim is successful, this type of litigation can result in significant costs and divert our attention and resources from the Merger and ongoing business activities, which could adversely affect our operations. In addition, if dismissals are not obtained or a settlement is not reached, these lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the Merger.
