The securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Company expects to close the second tranche of the Private Placement by the end of January 2018.

Millennial used part of the proceeds from the Private Placement to complete the previously announced acquisition of an approximate 82.5% majority interest of Eden Games. Further to the Company's press release of August 8, 2017, the Company paid EUR6,904,039.72 and issued 4,438,522 common shares of Millennial Esports to securityholders of Eden Games in exchange for acquiring the approximate 82.5% majority interest.
