NORTHSTAR OBTAINS REGULATORY APPROVAL TO PROCEED WITH PROPOSED FINANCING

Northstar Gaming Holdings Inc. has received a decision from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) to permit the company to obtain shareholder approval for its proposed $10.3-million private placement financing with Playtech PLC and certain insiders of the company by way of written consent.

As previously disclosed, closing of the transaction requires shareholder approval pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, due to the participation of Playtech, an existing investor in the company, as well as members of the company's senior management team. With the waiver obtained from the OSC, the company is exempt from the requirement to hold a shareholder meeting to approve the transaction and will instead seek to obtain written approval from holders of a majority of the common shares (excluding Playtech and management) in accordance with the OSC's decision.

The company anticipates closing of the transaction will occur prior to the end of October, 2023.
