Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2024) - Jackpot Digital Inc. (TSXV: JJ) (TSXV: JJ.WT.B) (TSXV: JJ.WT.C) (OTCQB: JPOTF) (FSE: LVH3) (the "Company" or "Jackpot") is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated July 10, 2023, the Company has entered into a Fifth Amendment Agreement ("Agreement") with the Company's major debentureholders regarding the outstanding debentures which have an aggregate principal and interest amount of Cdn$7,341,232 (US$5,520,969) as of September 17, 2024. The parties to the Agreement have agreed to an updated payment schedule.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company made a payment of US$900,000 to the debentureholders on September 18, 2024, leaving a balance owing of US$1,800,000. By making the US$900,000 payment, accrued interest in the amount of Cdn$3,751,042 (US$2,820,969) has been forgiven. As a result, the Company has realized an interest savings reduction of Cdn$3,751,042 (US$2,820,969), effective immediately.
As per the Agreement, the combined debt repayment and interest savings above totaled Cdn$4,947,772.
Furthermore, the Company has the option to make a payment of US$1,300,000 by November 1, 2024, which will provide additional interest savings of US$500,000. Upon making the payment, the Company will satisfy all principal and accrued interest obligations owing to the debentureholders, representing a full and final settlement of the debentures.
In the event the Company does not make the US$1,300,000 payment by November 1, 2024, the balance of US$1,800,000 will be due by July 1, 2025. If this payment is not made by July 1, 2025, a new debenture in the principal amount of US$1,800,000 will begin to bear interest at a rate of 20% per annum commencing July 1, 2025.
The President & CEO Mr. Jake Kalpakian states, "The Company is in the position to make the next payment now but is opting to hold off until we have successfully negotiated a multi million-dollar credit line to manufacture its Jackpot Blitz? tables. The cash on hand gives us the flexibility to manufacture more tables now, but our objective is to secure the credit line to manufacture tables in bigger volumes and allocate the existing cash for other strategic initiatives. We are currently in negotiations to secure such a credit line and will update the market accordingly."
Mr. Kalpakian further states, "We are currently in different stages for state and provincial government licensing in multiple jurisdictions which will significantly expand our product footprint into many other casino markets. We have a dynamic & innovative product, and we are excited about Jackpot's future."
