TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 6, 2023 / Gamelancer Media Corp. (CSE:GMNG)(OTCQB:GAMGF)(FRA:P93) ("Gamelancer" or the "Company") a leading digital media, entertainment, production and distribution company, is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated April 14, 2022 regarding the acquisition of Gamelancer, Inc. pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated March 21, 2022 (the "Purchase Agreement") between the Company and the former shareholders of Gamelancer, Inc. ("Former Gamelancer Shareholders"), the Company has made the final purchase price payment of an aggregate of USD$4,840,282.44 ("Final Payment") to the Former Gamelancer Shareholders, of which the Company has agreed with the Former Gamelancer Shareholders to settle an aggregate of USD$1,000,000 (C$1,333,333) of the Final Payment through the issuance of 13,333,334 common shares in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.10 per common share (the "Settlement"). The common shares issued pursuant to the Settlement are subject to a four-month hold period.

The common shares issued pursuant to the Settlement constituted a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as insiders of the Company acquired an aggregate of 9,497,415 common shares. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market and the fair market value of the common shares being issued to insiders in connection with the Settlement does not exceed $2,500,000, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the issuance of the common shares, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Settlement in an expeditious manner. The Settlement was approved by all independent directors of the Company.

The acquisition of the Gamelancer Gaming network was a pivotal step in shaping the robust business model that is now Gamelancer Media Corp. This strategic investment played a critical role in the digital media, entertainment, production, and distribution framework. Gamelancer Media has gained exclusive access to a vast network comprising popular platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. With a remarkable following of over 41 million Gen Z and Millennials across 54 channels, this strategic move solidifies Gamelancer's substantial foothold in the highly coveted demographic.

The Gamelancer Gaming network represented the final piece in the Company's comprehensive business model, empowering it to offer unique and immersive experiences to an ever-growing community of passionate gamers and content enthusiasts.

"I am fully dedicated to driving the Company's success as we strive for excellence in the digital media space," says Razvan Romanescu, Co-Founder, Director, and Chief Strategy Officer, "Being a part of the journey of Gamelancer, from its humble beginnings to emerging as a formidable force in this industry, fills me with immense pride. We take solace in the fact that the majority of Gamelancer Media's outstanding shares are held by committed, long-term stakeholders, reinforcing our assurance in the stability and resilience of our company."

"As a Co-Founder, Director, and an Officer of Gamelancer Media, I share Raz Romanescu's commitment to driving our company's success," states Darren Lopes, Director, and Chief Product Officer, "The finalization of this payment marks a significant milestone and highlights our unified strength, propelling us with renewed confidence and determination in the ever-evolving digital media industry.
