The Share Offering will be conducted in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario with subscribers qualified under the Offering Memorandum exemption available in section 2.9 of National Instrument 45-106.
Proceeds raised will be used to increase marketing and expansion of the Company's mobile game, Trophy Bingo, which is currently live in the Apple, Google, and Amazon App Stores. Trophy Bingo's KPIs (key performance indicators) are trending toward profitability and, as a result, Shoal Games management believes the business is now at the stage where investing in increased marketing spends will result in generating the applicable investment multipliers as the KPIs continue to improve.
Following closing of the Share Offering the Company plans to proceed with an offering of rights (the "Rights Offering") to holders of its common shares, including those participating in the Share Offering, at a yet to be determined record date. The Company expects the record date and pricing for the Rights Offering to be set within one month of closing of the Share Offering.

The Rights Offering will be made in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.
Shareholders of record on the record date will receive one right (a "Right") for each Common Share held and ten Rights will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Common Share at the exercise price. Rights will be evidenced by transferable rights certificates. The Company intends to list the Rights on the TSX Venture Exchange for a period of approximately one month and to offer an additional subscription privilege to shareholders who exercise all their Rights, enabling those shareholders to purchase additional shares at the same price, without requiring the purchase of additional Rights.
Both the Share Offering and Rights Offering are subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval. All securities issued under the Share Offering and Rights Offering will be subject to a four month hold period.
