GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAME) has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement (Form 424B5) to offer an unspecified number of shares of common stock and, at investors� option, pre-funded warrants that are exercisable for one share each at an exercise price of $0.0001 and have no expiration date. A 45-day over-allotment option allows the underwriters to purchase additional shares. Lucid Capital Markets is acting as sole book-running manager.

The company qualifies as both an “emerging growth company� and a “smaller reporting company.� As of 3 July 2025, public float is approximately $27.8 million, based on 39,123,968 shares outstanding (of which 9,904,523 are held by affiliates). Under S-3 “baby-shelf� rules, the company may not sell securities exceeding one-third of its public float within any 12-month period while float remains below $75 million.

Proceeds & Use: Net proceeds (amount to be determined) are earmarked for general corporate purposes, including strategic investments, M&A, development of a cryptocurrency treasury strategy (potentially purchasing Ethereum or other digital assets), working capital and operational spending. Management retains broad discretion over allocation.

Capital structure impacts: The offering will increase outstanding shares; existing dilution pressures already include 4.6 million shares reserved under the 2024 Stock Incentive Plan plus options, RSUs, warrants and a convertible note. Investors are warned of immediate and substantial dilution relative to tangible book value (-$0.45 per share as of 31 Mar 2025).

Key Risks Highlighted: (1) dilution from the current and future financings; (2) high volatility and regulatory uncertainty tied to prospective cryptocurrency holdings that could trigger Investment Company Act issues if Ethereum were deemed a security; (3) lack of a trading market for the pre-funded warrants; (4) potential inability to exercise warrants beyond 4.99%/19.99% ownership limits; (5) operational, market and legal risks inherent in esports, media and digital advertising sectors; (6) need for continued NASDAQ listing compliance. The company recently terminated a $9.25 million “at-the-market� program (no shares sold) in advance of this transaction.

Lock-up & Underwriting Terms: Officers, directors and �5 % holders are subject to a 60-day lock-up; the company is subject to a 90-day restriction on variable-rate issuances. Underwriters receive a 7.0 % discount plus warrants equal to 10% of the equity issued, exercisable at 120% of the public price for five years.

Overall, the filing positions GameSquare to shore up liquidity and pursue strategic growth, but it introduces dilution and exposes investors to heightened regulatory and crypto-market risks.
