"We are thrilled to announce our conditional approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange for listing under our symbol 'GET'," said GameOn CEO Matt Bailey. “This public listing will enable our company and team to launch all systems 'GO' as we look to disrupt the sports, television and live event fan viewing experience, and gaming marketplace.”
Victory Square Technologies is also pleased to announce that in conjunction with the Company’s vision to maximize shareholder value, the board of directors has approved a strategic dividend reward initiative to unlock the intrinsic value of GameOn by proposing a distribution of a portion of the common shares of GameOn currently held by the Company to shareholders of the Company. Further details regarding the dividend record date and payment date will be announced in the near future.
“Our ongoing mission is to facilitate growth for our portfolio companies and incubate them from birth through to stand alone public listings as shown by the Company’s latest portfolio GameOn (GET). This incubated spin off of GameOn will provide value to our stakeholders,” said VST CEO Shafin Diamond Tejani. “Our Board along with myself and our Executive team believe that this strategic dividend reward with GameOn is in direct alignment with our vision to provide a strong recurring return on investment for our stakeholders. Our Team and Board at VST are very excited at the latest conditional listing of GameOn that follows in the footsteps of our successful launch in May of 2020 of our portfolio company FansUnite (CSE:FANS).”
