History of business entities. On January 1, 2007, Galaxy Gaming, LLC (“GGLLC”), a Nevada limited liability company, entered into several agreements with the original Galaxy Gaming, Inc., a Nevada privately held corporation (“GGPVT”). GGPVT was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 29, 2006, and acquired the business operations of one or more companies using the “Galaxy Gaming” moniker. Pursuant to these agreements, GGLLC sold selected assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, to GGPVT. On December 31, 2007, GGPVT acquired, through an asset purchase agreement, 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. GGPVT also acquired the existing client base from GGLLC.

 

Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., a publically held Nevada corporation (“SDI”), was served with an involuntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. 08-16332. The Bankruptcy Court’s Order for Relief was entered on July 30, 2008. By order entered January 27, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed SDI’s Plan of Reorganization (“Plan”).

In connection with the Reverse Merger, SDI obtained 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GGPVT and GGPVT became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SDI. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Reverse Merger and the terms of the Plan, SDI issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock pro-rata to the former shareholders of GGPVT in exchange for obtaining ownership of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GGPVT”). SDI also issued 4,000,006 shares of new common stock on a pro rata basis to its creditors in exchange for the discharge of its outstanding debts under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. All of SDI’s issued and outstanding equity interests existing prior to the Reverse Merger were extinguished and rendered null and void. Immediately following these events there were 29,000,006 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. 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, GGPVT. On September 1, 2009, our Board approved a merger of SDI with its subsidiary, GGPVT, pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute. §92A.180 (“Short Form Merger”) and the merged company was named “Galaxy Gaming, Inc.”
