What Happened
GameSquare Holdings, Inc. announced on June 18, 2026 that it completed a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, GameSquare Merger Sub 3, Inc., following stockholder approval at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting. At the Effective Time each outstanding Merger Sub share was cancelled for no consideration, each outstanding share of Series A‑1 preferred automatically converted into 1,000 shares of Company common stock, and each outstanding share of Series A‑2 preferred converted into one share of common stock. The Company also amended and restated its certificate of incorporation effective June 18, 2026.

Key Details

• Merger and approvals completed June 18, 2026 (Effective Time); stockholders approved the Merger at the Annual Meeting held the same day.
• Record date for the Annual Meeting: April 23, 2026 — 93,470,215 common shares outstanding; Series A‑2 holders have voting power equivalent to 19,300,000 common shares.
• Votes represented at the Annual Meeting: 68,844,853 (≈61.05% of outstanding votes). All proposals received the requisite votes. Example tallies: both Class II director nominees elected (Justin Kenna: 57,745,275 for; Stuart Porter: 57,986,037 for); auditor ratification passed (66,478,785 for).
• Certificate of Incorporation amended and restated to, among other changes: increase authorized common shares from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000; remove certain supermajority voting requirements; declassify the board beginning with the 2027 annual meeting; change director removal standard for directors elected after declassification.
• Conversion mechanics: each Series A‑1 → 1,000 common shares; each Series A‑2 → 1 common share (including fractional shares, per Certificates of Designation).

Why It Matters
This filing documents a corporate reorganization that increases the Company’s governance flexibility and substantially raises the number of authorized common shares, which could affect future capital-raising and potential dilution. The automatic conversion of preferred stock into common shares increases the Company’s issued common share count (on a per‑holder basis) and may change voting dynamics. Declassifying the board and eliminating supermajority amendment thresholds are governance changes that can make it easier to enact future charter amendments and board changes. Investors should review the Merger Agreement and the First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (filed as exhibits) and monitor subsequent filings for updated share counts or planned issuances.
