Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

The remaining Reporting Persons are principally engaged in the business of investments in securities, including in securities of the Issuer.

Each of the Reporting Persons files this Schedule 13D jointly. The Reporting Persons are filing this Statement jointly, as they may be considered a “group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). However, neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that such a group exists. For a description of the relationship between the Reporting Persons, see Item 5 below.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.”

Merger Agreement with FaZe Holdings Inc.

On October 19, 2023, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with FaZe Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FaZe”), and GameSquare Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer ( “Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions


set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into FaZe (the “Merger”), with FaZe surviving such Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions precedent of the parties. The Merger Agreement contains customary mutual termination rights for the Issuer and FaZe, including if the Merger is not completed by December 31, 2023 (the “End Date”), and if either of the required stockholder approvals by the Issuer stockholders or the FaZe stockholders is not obtained.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is referenced as Exhibit II to this Schedule 13D and is also incorporated herein by reference.

Backstop Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer and Goff & Jones, entered into a Backstop Agreement (the “Backstop Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Goff & Jones agreed to commit to backstop the contemplated PIPE financing to be consummated at or around the time of the closing of the Merger (the “PIPE Financing”), in an aggregate amount of no more than $10,000,000, by agreeing pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, to purchase Common Shares of the Issuer (or other Issuer securities, if applicable), to the extent necessary pursuant to the terms of the Backstop Agreement and contemporaneously with the closing of the Merger. The Backstop Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions precedent of the parties. The Backstop Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) upon the date that is immediately following an applicable End Date, following written notice from Goff & Jones electing to terminate the Backstop Agreement, or (ii) if FaZe or the Issuer experience a material adverse change, upon written notice from Goff & Jones electing to terminate the Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Backstop Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Backstop Agreement, which is referenced as Exhibit III to this Schedule 13D and is also incorporated herein by reference.
