Proposal to Amend Issuer’s Amended and Restated Bylaws

Knighted intends to propose to amend the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Issuer to modify the approval requirements for the board of directors to take certain actions and the procedures for calling a special meeting of the board of directors. The proposed amendment would require that the Issuer’s board of directors not take any of the following actions without the approval of at least 80% of the directors then in office at a meeting for which 10 business days’ notice was given to all directors stating the purpose thereof:

In addition, the proposed amendment would allow meetings of the board of directors to be called by any two directors.

Proposal Regarding Removal of Directors For Cause

Knighted intends to propose that the following directors be removed for cause (the “Subject Directors”):

Knighted believes that grounds also exist for the removal for cause of Director Jingsheng Lu but has not included Mr. Lu as a Subject Director in this proposal based on the understanding that Mr. Lu is a Class B Director and will stand for election at the 2024 Annual Meeting. To the extent that this understanding is not correct, Knighted reserves the right to include Mr. Lu as a Subject Director.

Knighted contends that grounds exist to remove the Subject Directors for cause because they breached their fiduciary duties by taking the actions to entrench themselves in office as directors and to maintain the control of Issuer by their affiliate, Ourgame International Holdings Limited (“Ourgame”) so that Ourgame could continue to enrich itself at the expense of Issuer and its other stockholders. Knighted’s contentions are based in part on the civil action Knighted brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Subject Directors, current and former Directors Yinghua Chen, Joseph Lahti, Jingsheng Lu, Adam Pliska, and Guanzhou Qin, Ourgame, Primo Vital Ltd., Elite Fun Entertainment Co., Ltd. and Elite Fun Entertainment Limited, C.A. No. 2024-0222-JTL (the “Chancery Action”).

The Issuer’s board of directors took certain actions, including termination of a share purchase agreement, amendments to Section 8.7 of Issuer’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, and certain other actions, as set forth in Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15, 2024. Knighted believes such actions were taken because the Subject Directors and other defendants in the Chancery Action knew that they would not be able to establish at trial that the director defendants complied with their fiduciary duties. Knighted further believes that the actions of the Subject Directors, and other directors, have likely caused Issuer to incur significant legal fees and expenses. Based on the foregoing, the Reporting Persons believe that there is abundant basis for removing the Subject Directors for cause.

THIS SCHEDULE 13D IS NOT A SOLICITATION. THE REPORTING PERSONS ARE NOT HEREBY SOLICITING, AND DO NOT INTEND TO SOLICIT, ANY STOCKHOLDER TO VOTE, WITHHOLD A VOTE, GRANT A PROXY WITH REGARD TO, OR IN ANY OTHER WAY TAKE ACTION WITH REGARD TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE BYLAWS, REMOVING CERTAIN EXISTING DIRECTORS FOR CAUSE OR ANY OTHER MATTER TO BE VOTED UPON AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SCHEDULE 13D. THE REPORTING PERSONS WILL NOT ACCEPT PROXIES FROM ANY STOCKHOLDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SCHEDULE 13D.
