NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2026) - Playgon Games Inc. (TSXV: DEAL) (OTC Pink: PLGNF) (FSE: 7CR) ("Playgon" or the "Company"), a propriety SaaS technology company delivering mobile live dealer technology to online gaming operators globally, is pleased to announce that it will hold its next annual and special meeting (the "Meeting") of its shareholders (the "Shareholders") on June 29, 2026 for purposes of, among other things, approving a share consolidation (the "Share Consolidation") and a settlement of outstanding debt in consideration for the issuance of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company (the "Debt Settlement"). In connection with the Meeting, a management information circular of the Company (the "Circular") will be filed and mailed to the Shareholders of record as at the applicable record date on or about May 29, 2026, and will be available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile available for viewing at www.sedarplus.ca. Shareholders are encouraged to refer to the Circular for additional information regarding the above noted transactions, including the conditions for completion. Strategic RepositioningIn addition to the corporate matters to be considered at the Meeting, the Company is advancing a broader strategic repositioning intended to align the Company with what management believes are the next major growth opportunities in live casino entertainment. The Company is evolving from a primarily human-hosted live dealer studio model toward a scalable, software-driven platform strategy focused on technology licensing, recurring revenue and new forms of interactive live gaming content.The Company's new strategy is expected to be anchored by three complementary business verticals all developed around its core technology: (i) continued support for traditional live dealer opportunities under an OEM model, where partners or customers fund the studio build-out and ongoing operating costs, while Playgon provides the underlying certified platform, game technology and support services in exchange for recurring platform fees or revenue share; (ii) the development of remote live slots, a new product vertical designed to allow online players to remotely engage with physical slot machines through the Company's live streaming and gaming technology; and (iii) the development of the Company's next-generation AI Dealer platform, which is designed to bring together the Company's certified gaming technology, live dealer expertise, established operator and aggregator integrations, and regulatory compliance experience with advanced digital-human animation, artificial intelligence, and multilingual natural-speech capabilities to create a scalable, AI-powered live casino solution.Management believes the AI Dealer initiative has the potential to materially change the economics of live casino operations by reducing the reliance on traditional studio staffing, supporting 24/7 table availability, enabling rapid localization and branded dealer experiences, and allowing operators to launch customized live casino content with a more scalable cost-efficient structure.The Company believes this product direction initiative and existing platform assets, provides a foundation to pursue higher-margin recurring revenue opportunities and expand the Company's addressable market in the global iGaming industry."This is not only about cleaning up the balance sheet and providing a fresh injection of capital to underwrite our new direction; it is about positioning the Company for its next phase for growth," said Darcy Krogh, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We believe the future of live casino entertainment will be more intelligent, more scalable, more personalized and more software-driven led by advancements in artificial intelligence technology. Our strategy here is to combine the Company's live gaming experience, certified core technology, existing integration pipeline and new AI-driven product initiatives to create a more efficient and differentiated offering for the iGaming industry and our shareholders."Share ConsolidationThe board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has approved the Share Consolidation on the basis of one hundred (100) pre-consolidation Common Shares for every one (1) post-consolidation Common Share. In accordance with the Company's articles (the "Articles"), the Share Consolidation will require that it be approved by the Shareholders pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed at the Meeting. As of the record date for the Meeting, and without including the shares proposed to be issued under the Debt Settlement and the Private Placement (as further defined below), there are 551,284,151 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Following the Share Consolidation, there will be approximately 5,512,842 post-consolidation Common Shares issued and outstanding. No fractional Common Shares will be issued as a result of the Share Consolidation, and each fractional Common Share remaining after conversion that is less than ½ of a share will be cancelled and each fractional Common Shares remaining after conversion that is at least ½ of a share will be changed to one whole Common Share in accordance with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA"). The exercise or conversion price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company's outstanding stock options, warrants and any other convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, in accordance with their respective terms.Subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, the Share Consolidation is expected to become effective shortly following the Meeting (the "Effective Date"), and the post-consolidation Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on or about the Effective Date. Additional information regarding the Effective Date, the new CUSIP/ISIN information and the additional procedures for registered shareholders to follow to exchange their pre-consolidation Common Shares for post-consolidation Common Shares will be further communicated by the Company by news release ahead of the Effective Date. Name ChangeThe Board has also approved the Name Change from "Playgon Games Inc." to "Dealone Interactive Inc." (subject to approval and confirmation from the applicable registrar). In accordance with the Articles, the Name Change does not require shareholder approval and has been approved by the Board.In connection with both the Share Consolidation and the Name Change, the Company will, upon receipt of all requisite approvals, file articles of amendment with the Registrar of Companies under the BCBCA. Both the Name Change and the Share Consolidation are expected to take effect concurrently on the Effective Date, or shortly thereafter, and the post-consolidation Common Shares will commence trading on the TSXV under the Company's new name as at such date. No action will be required by existing Shareholders in connection with the Name Change, and no certificates representing Common Shares of the Company will be affected or need to be exchanged (as it pertains to the Name Change, but subject to the procedures to be followed as part of the Share Consolidation). The Company encourages shareholders with any questions or concerns to contact their broker or intermediary.Debt Settlement The Company is proposing to enter into subscription and set-off agreements ("Subscription and Set-Off Agreements") pursuant to which creditors of the Corporation will agree to settle the indebtedness owing to them through the issuance of Common Shares by the Company at a price of CAD$0.01 on a pre-consolidation basis (or $1 per Share on a post-consolidation basis), being the last closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV prior to announcement or, if greater, the applicable minimum acceptable price required by TSXV policies.
