Note 3. Business Combination

 

TDAC Combination

 

On October 29, 2021, the Company and AutoLotto consummated the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. At the Closing, each share of common stock and preferred stock of AutoLotto that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than excluded shares as contemplated by the Merger Agreement) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive approximately 3.0058 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Lottery.com. common stock.

 

 

The Merger closing was a triggering event for the Series B convertible notes, of which $63.8 million was converted into 16,243 shares of AutoLotto that were then converted into 48,823 shares of Lottery.com common stock using the Exchange Ratio.

 

At the Closing, each option to purchase AutoLotto’s common stock, whether vested or unvested, was assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Lottery.com common stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Company accounted for the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization whereby AutoLotto was determined as the accounting acquirer and TDAC as the accounting acquiree. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further details. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of AutoLotto issuing stock for the net assets of TDAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of TDAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes reflect the historical results of AutoLotto prior to the merger and do not include the historical results of TDAC prior to the consummation of Business Combination.

 

Upon the closing of the transaction, AutoLotto received total gross proceeds of approximately $42,794,000, from TDAC’s trust and operating accounts. Total transaction costs were approximately $9,460,000, which principally consisted of advisory, legal and other professional fees and were recorded in additional paid in capital. Cumulative debt repayments of approximately $11,068,000, inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest, were paid in conjunction with the close, which included approximately $5,475,000 repayment of notes payable to related parties, and approximately $5,593,000 payment of accrued underwriter fees.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the holders of issued and outstanding shares of AutoLotto immediately prior to the Closing (the “Sellers”) were entitled to receive up to 30,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Seller Earnout Shares”) and Vadim Komissarov, Ilya Ponomarev and Marat Rosenberg (collectively the “TDAC Founders”) were also entitled to receive up to 20,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “TDAC Founder Earnout Shares” and, together with the Seller Earnout Shares, the “Earnout Shares”). One of the earnout criteria had not been met by the December 31, 2021 deadline thus no earnout shares were granted specific to that criteria. 15,000 of the Seller Earnout Shares and 10,000 TDAC Founder Earnout Shares were still eligible Earnout Shares until December 31, 2022. Conditions for the earnout were not met and the potential earnout shares were forfeited on December 31, 2022.

In the event that the closing price of the restricted stock units of common shares of the Company to be issued to the shareholders of Sports.com Media is lower than the Fixed Purchase Price on the six (6) month anniversary of any issuance date of said shares (collectively the “Anniversary Issuance Price”), then the Fixed Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the six (6) month anniversary date of said issuance date. Accordingly, the Company shall be obligated to tender to the shareholders of Sports.com Media additional restricted stock units of common shares of the Company to make up the difference between the Fixed Purchase Price and the Anniversary Issuance Price.

Asset Acquisition-DotCom Ventures Inc. (August 2025)

 

On July 23, 2025 the Company acquired a 51% interest in the assets of DotCom Ventures Inc., consisting primarily of the Concerts.com and TicketStub.com domain names and certain related technology assets. The Company evaluated the transaction under the applicable accounting guidance and concluded that the acquired set of assets did not meet the definition of a business because there was no substantive process where a set of inputs could be converted into specific outputs and there was no workforce consisting of employees or organized contractors in place for converting acquired inputs into outputs as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the purchase price allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative fair values. As of December 31, 2025, the acquired assets are included within intangible assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects this transaction to change to controlling interest in the first quarter of 2026 when a workforce and substantive process will be in place.
