Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “Galaxy Gaming, Inc.,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company,” is defined as Galaxy Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

 

Galaxy Gaming, LLC (“GGLLC”), an entity controlled by our CEO was organized as a Nevada limited liability company on September 27, 2000.  A predecessor company, also named Galaxy Gaming, Inc. (“GGINC”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 29, 2006.  On January 1, 2007 GGLLC, entered into an agreement with GGINC whereby GGLLC sold selected assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, to GGINC.  Additionally GGINC and GGLLC executed an equity exchange agreement effective January 1, 2007 whereby GGLLC transferred all of its membership interests in various operating subsidiaries, including the existing client base, to GGINC in exchange for stock of GGINC.  Similarly, GGINC entered into an equity exchange agreement effective January 1, 2007 with another related party whereby that entity transferred all of its membership interests in various operating subsidiaries, including its existing client base, to GGINC in exchange for stock of GGINC.  On December 31, 2007, GGLLC entered into an asset purchase agreement with GGINC.  Pursuant to this agreement GGINC acquired GGLLC’s remaining intellectual property including patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, copyrights, know-how and trade secrets related to the casino gaming services including but not limited to games, side bets, inventions and ideas.  In connection with the transaction, GGINC agreed to assume a note receivable (see Note 3) and a payment obligation (see Note 7) from GGLLC.

 

On February 10, 2009, Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (“SDI”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of GGINC pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement.  Following the closing of the share exchange agreement, SDI discontinued all prior operations and focused exclusively on the business and operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, GGINC.

 

In August of 2009, upon filing articles of merger in Nevada GGINC was merged into SDI.  At the effective date the separate legal existence of GGINC ceased and the surviving corporation in the merger (SDI) continued its existence under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Galaxy Gaming, Inc.
