/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
LAS VEGAS, June 25, 2015 /CNW/ - NYX Gaming Group Limited ("NYX" or the "Company") (TSXV: NYX) today is pleased to announce that it has amended the terms of the previously announced bought deal public offering (the "Offering") with a syndicate of underwriters, led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (collectively, the "Underwriters") to increase the size of the debenture unit subscription receipt portion of the Offering (the "Debenture Unit Subscription Receipts") by an additional 10,000 Debenture Unit Subscription Receipts. Under the amended terms of the offering, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 45,000 Debenture Unit Subscription Receipts of the Company for total gross proceeds of $45.0 million. In addition, the Underwriters agreed to amend the terms of the Offering to provide that the over-allotment option will be equal to up to 15% of the gross proceeds raised under the equity subscription receipt portion of the Offering (the "Equity Subscription Receipts") and shall be exercisable to acquire only additional Equity Subscription Receipts and/or underlying ordinary shares of the Company, as further described in the Company's press release issued earlier today. The size of the previously announced offering of 13.5 million Equity Subscription Receipts at a price of $4.45 per Equity Subscription Receipt remains unchanged, for gross proceeds of approximately $60.1 million.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by NYX to fund its previously announced acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all the issued and outstanding shares of Amaya (Alberta) Inc. (formerly Chartwell Technology Inc.) and Cryptologic Limited from Amaya Inc., and for general corporate purposes. For further details on the Acquisition, see NYX's press release dated April 9, 2015.
The Subscription Receipts will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in all provinces and territories of Canada. The offering is expected to close on or about July 16, 2015, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur by July 31, 2015.
