Dear Shareholders:

On December 8, 2022, Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. ("Engine") announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with GameSquare Esports Inc. ("GameSquare"), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, GameSquare and Engine will combine their businesses via an all share deal whereby Engine will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of GameSquare in exchange for shares of Engine in accordance with a plan of arrangement of GameSquare under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement").

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Engine will acquire each outstanding GameSquare share in exchange for 0.08262 of an Engine common share (the "Exchange Ratio"). Each outstanding option of GameSquare will be exchanged for an Engine option entitling the holder to a number of Engine common shares, as adjusted on the basis of the Exchange Ratio, and be subject to exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of the options, including payment of the exercise price, which will also be adjusted based upon the Exchange Ratio. All other material terms of the options will remain the same. Each outstanding restricted share unit of GameSquare will be exchanged for an Engine restricted share unit entitling the holder to a number of Engine common shares, as adjusted on the basis of the Exchange Ratio. All other material terms of the restricted share units will remain the same. Each outstanding warrant of GameSquare will be adjusted pursuant to its governing contractual instrument to entitle the holder to receive, upon due exercise, Engine common shares, adjusted on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

The Arrangement is expected to provide Engine shareholders with the following benefits:

Highly Complementary Strengths
Enhanced Capital Markets Profile
Expanded Platform for Future Growth

In connection with the Arrangement, Engine has called an annual and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting"), which will include the consideration of a resolution to approve the issuance of the Engine common shares (including common shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options, restricted share units and warrants) forming the consideration to be issued to GameSquare securityholders (the "Transaction Resolution"). The Meeting of Engine shareholders is being held concurrently with the meeting of GameSquare shareholders, which has been called to consider and approve the Arrangement and related transactions.

The accompanying notice of meeting (the "Notice of Meeting") and management information circular (the "Circular") contain a detailed description of the Arrangement and set forth the actions to be taken by you at the Meeting. You should carefully consider all of the information in the Notice of Meeting and Circular and consult your financial, legal or other professional advisors if you require assistance.

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF THE ARRANGEMENT, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THAT ENGINE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE TRANSACTION RESOLUTION.

In order to become effective, the Transaction Resolution must be approved by at least a majority of the votes cast by Engine shareholders, either present in person or by proxy at the Meeting. In order to become effective, among other things, the Arrangement requires the approval of both the shareholders of Engine and GameSquare. The Arrangement is also subject to court approval.

At the special meeting of shareholders, shareholders will also be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution to approve the Corporation's amended and restated Omnibus Plan, including the increase to the number of securities available under the Omnibus Plan.

Further, as part of the annual meeting of shareholders, shareholders will be asked to approve an ordinary resolution to elect directors of Engine and the Resulting Issuer.

Your vote is important regardless of how many Engine common shares you own. To ensure that your Engine common shares will be represented at the Meeting, whether or not you are personally able to attend, registered holders of Engine common shares are asked to return the enclosed form of proxy, properly completed and signed, prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on March 6, 2023 (or a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or holiday which is at least two (2) Business Days prior to any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting). The proxy deadline may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting, in their sole discretion without notice.

Thank you for your continued support of Engine.

Sincerely,

/s/ "Tom Rogers"

NOTICE TO SECURITYHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITIES OF ANY STATE PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE TRANSACTION OR UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The following discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. Securities Laws relating to the Transaction. Each securityholder is urged to consult such person's professional advisors to determine the U.S. conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the Engine Shares issuable pursuant to the Transaction.

Exemption from U.S. Registration

The issuance of securities of Engine with respect to the Plan of Arrangement will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and such securities are being issued in reliance upon the federal exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act (the "Section 3(a)(10) exemption") and exemptions provided in respect of the securities laws of states of the United States in which GameSquare Shareholders reside, as applicable. The Section 3(a)(10) exemption exempts from registration a security that is issued in exchange for outstanding securities, claims or property interests, where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange, and to whom adequate notice has been given, have the right to appear, by a court or by a Governmental Entity expressly authorized by law to grant such approval. The Court granted the Interim Order on February 6, 2023, and, subject to the approval by the GameSquare Shareholders, a hearing for a Final Order approving the Plan of Arrangement is currently scheduled to take place on March 13, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in Toronto, Ontario. Accordingly, the Final Order of the Court will, if granted, constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) exemption with respect to the issuance and distribution of securities to GameSquare securityholders under the Plan of Arrangement.

- 4 -

The Section 3(a)(10) exemption will not be available for the issuance of securities upon the exercise of Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options and Replacement RSUs. This means that the Engine Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options and Replacement RSUs cannot be issued in the United States or to a U.S. Person in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption and the Replacement Options and Replacement Warrants may only be exercised and the underlying Engine Shares issued in the United States or by a U.S. Person pursuant to Engine's effective registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-257418), a registration statement to be filed by Engine in accordance with General Instructions E to Form S-8 under the U.S. Securities Act or a then-available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

All of the Engine Shares to be received by GameSquare securityholders under the Plan of Arrangement will be freely tradable for purposes of the U.S. Securities Act, except for Engine Shares received by any GameSquare securityholders who becomes an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act) of Engine after completion of the Transaction (such as GameSquare directors or executive officers who become directors or executive officers of Engine after the Transaction and any person deemed to have been an affiliate of Engine within 90 days before the resale of any Engine Shares received under the Arrangement). The summary presented in this Circular does not cover resales of any Engine Shares received by any person upon completion of the Transaction, and no person is authorized to make any use of this Circular in connection with any resale.

See "Securities Law Matters - U.S. Securities Laws" and "The Arrangement Agreement - Stock Exchange Matters".

Canadian Circular

The solicitation of proxies hereby for the Meeting is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, this Circular has been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada, and the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate law and Canadian Securities Laws. Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act. Information included in this Circular or incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian Securities Laws, which differ from the requirements of U.S. Securities Laws. As at the date hereof, GameSquare and Engine are "foreign private issuers" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act, although there can be no assurance that GameSquare and Engine will each remain "foreign private issuers" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act and 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act in the future.

IFRS Accounting Principles

Financial statements included or incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differs from U.S. GAAP in certain material respects, and thus they may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies.

- 5 -

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities

The enforcement by securityholders of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that each of the Corporation and GameSquare are incorporated or organized outside the United States, that some or all of their respective directors and officers and the experts named in this Circular are not residents of the United States and that all or a substantial portion of their respective assets and the assets of said persons may be located outside the United States. As a result, securityholders in the United States may be unable to effect service of process within the United States upon the Corporation or GameSquare, their respective officers and directors or the experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, securityholders in the United States should not assume that the courts of Canada: (i) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Circular and the documents incorporated into this Circular by reference contain "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of Securities Laws (forward-looking statements and forward-looking information being collectively referred to as "forward-looking information") that are based on expectations, estimates and projections as at the date of this Circular or the dates of the documents incorporated by reference, as applicable. This forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements and information concerning: the Transaction; the anticipated timing for completion of the Transaction; the anticipated benefits of the Transaction; the likelihood of the Transaction being completed; the principal steps of the Transaction; statements made in, and based upon, the Fairness Opinion; statements relating to the business and future activities of the Corporation and GameSquare after the date of this Circular and prior to the Effective Time and after the Effective Time; shareholder and Court approval of the Transaction and the expected timing thereof; Regulatory Approval of the Transaction; the expected timing to complete the Transaction; and other statements that are not historical facts. To the extent any forward-looking information constitutes future-oriented financial information or financial outlook, as those terms are defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, such statements are being provided to describe the current anticipated effect of the Transaction, and readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose, including investment decisions.

Any statements that involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "budget", "scheduled", "forecasts", "estimates", "believes" or "intends" or variations of such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements and are intended to identify forward-looking information. This forward-looking information is based on the beliefs of the Corporation's management, as well as on assumptions and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable based on information available at the time such information was given. Such assumptions include, among other things, the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, including the approval of the Plan of Arrangement and its fairness by the Court, and the receipt of the required governmental and Regulatory Approvals and consents.

- 6 -

By its nature, forward-looking information, including future-oriented financial information or financial outlook, is based on assumptions and involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements expressed or implied herein to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information, including, without limitation: the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances; the conditions to the completion of the Transaction may not be satisfied; general economic conditions; industry conditions; currency fluctuations; competition from other industry participants; and stock market volatility. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the forward-looking information contained herein.

Forward-looking information is information about the future and is inherently uncertain. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking information will prove to be accurate. Actual results could differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking information as a result of, among other things, the matters set out or incorporated by reference in this Circular generally and economic and business factors, some of which may be beyond the control of the Corporation. Some of the more important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking information are described further under the heading "Risk Factors Relating to the Transaction". Additional risks are discussed under the heading "Additional Information Concerning Engine - Risk Factors" in Schedule D to this Circular, and under the heading "Information Concerning GameSquare - Risk Factors" in Schedule E to this Circular. The Corporation expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any information contained in this Circular (including forward-looking information) except as required by applicable Laws, and Shareholders should not assume that any lack of update to information contained in this Circular means that there has been no change in that information since the date of this Circular and should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

The Fairness Opinion was only one factor that the Engine Board took into consideration in making its determination to recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction Resolution.

See "Schedule C - Fairness Opinion".

- 8 -

Background to the Arrangement

The provisions of the Arrangement Agreement are the result of arm's length negotiations conducted among representatives of Engine, GameSquare, and their respective legal and financial advisors, as applicable. See "The Transaction - Background to the Transaction" for a description of the background to the Arrangement.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

Haywood has provided its opinion that, as of the date given and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications contained therein, the consideration to be paid by Engine pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Engine. The full text of the opinion can be found at Schedule "C". See "The Transaction - Fairness Opinion". The Board, having taken into account such Fairness Opinion and such other matters it considered relevant, unanimously determined that the consideration to be paid by Engine under the Arrangement is fair to Engine and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Corporation. Accordingly, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Transaction Resolution. See "The Transaction - Recommendation of the Board of Directors."

Reasons for the Transaction

In evaluating the Transaction, and in making their recommendations, the Engine Board gave careful consideration to the current and expected future financial position of the Corporation and all terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. The Engine Board considered a number of factors including, among others, the following:

(a) Significant financial profile. The GameSquare and Engine, combined, have delivered $70+ million of trailing twelve-month revenue (unaudited), reflecting a nearly doubling of revenues over that same period.
(b) Enhanced financial predictability. The Transaction is expected to improve the recurring and reoccurring revenue profile of the combined business. Management believes that a larger, predictable revenue profile from the entity's agency, programmatic, SaaS, sponsorships, and league fees provide an improved financial foundation for accelerated growth.
(c) Highly Complementary Businesses. Management believes that the businesses within Engine and the GameSquare are highly complementary and expect significant opportunities for revenue synergies and acceleration of growth. The combination of creative digital agencies, an influencer marketing platform, innovative advertising solutions, leading programmatic businesses, an elite esports organization, audience intelligence technology, content production, and merchandise and consumer product design means that the Resulting Issuer will have a robust end-to-end suite of services for brands seeking to reach gaming and esports fans.
(d) Global client base with limited cross over. Management believes the limited overlap of existing brands and clients will provide numerous opportunities for cross selling and optimization to clients, including, amongst others, The Kraft Heinz Group, Tyson Foods, Jack in the Box, HyperX, Epic Games, Microsoft, the Dallas Cowboys, Riot Games, Activision Blizzard, and Electronic Arts.
(e) Large audience in gaming and esports. Management believes that the combination of GameSquare and Engine may result in an audience and reach as large as any gaming and esports company currently in the market; GameSquare has an audience of 220 million and Engine has 130 million monthly followers within the advertising network.
- 9 -
(f) Improved access to U.S. investors and capital. The Resulting Issuer intends to retain Nasdaq and TSXV dual listing under the trading symbol "GAME". Management believes that access to the U.S. financial markets as a gaming and esports company with significant revenue scale could represent an opportunity for valuation rerating catalyst for the Resulting Issuer.
(g) Accelerated path to profitability. The Resulting Issuer is expected be on an accelerated path to profitability in 2023 as it will benefit from significant operating leverage, outsized revenue growth, and meaningful cost synergies following the Transaction.
(h) Experienced management and board of directors. The Corporation expects to greatly benefit from substantial experience of the post-Transaction management team and a strong board of directors. The leadership team will be composed of executives from the Corporation and Engine that will have deep managerial expertise supported by the talented staff and leaders throughout the two companies.
(i) Enhanced Capital Markets Profile. Increased scale of the Resulting Issuer would enhance its capital markets profile.
(j) Expanded Platform for Future Growth. Management believes the Transaction is expected to deliver meaningful cost and revenue synergies as well as accelerate scale.
(k) Terms of the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement is the result of an arm's length negotiation process and includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the circumstances including the right to match if GameSquare receives a Superior Proposal or amend the Arrangement Agreement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal. See "Arrangement Agreement - Right to Match".
(l) Shareholder Approval. The Shareholder Approval is protective of the rights of Shareholders. The Transaction Resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote.
(m) Evaluation and Analysis. Engine has given lengthy consideration to the business, operations, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospects for the Resulting Issuer as well as current industry, economic and market conditions and related risks; and
(n) Receipt of Fairness Opinion. The Engine Board has received the Fairness Opinion, in which Haywood Securities Inc. provided an opinion to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, limitations considered and qualifications set forth therein, the Consideration Shares to be received under the Plan of Arrangement by the GameSquare Shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to Engine.

The Engine Board also considered a number of potential risks and potential negative factors relating to the Transaction. See also "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information".

Arrangement Mechanics

GameSquare Shareholders (other than GameSquare Shareholders who validly exercise their Dissent Rights) will ultimately receive the Consideration in exchange for each GameSquare Share pursuant to a series of transactions as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, which includes the following steps:

1. each Dissenting Share held by a GameSquare Dissenting Shareholder shall be deemed to have been transferred by the holder thereof to GameSquare and GameSquare shall then be obliged to pay the GameSquare Shareholder fair market value for the GameSquare Share;
- 10 -
2. each GameSquare Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be transferred by the holder thereof to Engine for the Consideration;
3. each GameSquare Option, to the extent it has not been exercised as at the Effective Date, will be transferred by the holder thereof to Engine for such number of Replacement Options issued by Engine under the Omnibus Plan equal to the Exchange Ratio and with an exercise price equal to the Replacement Option Exercise Price;
4. each GameSquare RSU, to the extent it has not been exchanged for a GameSquare Share as at the Effective Date will be transferred by the holder thereof to Engine for such number of Replacement RSUs issued by Engine under the Omnibus Plan equal to the Exchange Ratio and reduced for any withholding or deduction for Taxes required in connection with the exchange of such GameSquare RSU;
5. each GameSquare Warrant, to the extent it has not been exercised as at the Effective Date, will be transferred by the holder thereof to Engine for a Replacement Warrant issued by Engine to purchase such number of Engine Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of GameSquare Shares issuable on exercise of such GameSquare Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time for an exercise price per Engine Share equal to Replacement Warrant Exercise Price; and
6. the termination of the GameSquare Stock Option Plan and the GameSquare RSU Plan.

The GameSquare Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised will be deemed to be transferred to Engine (free and clear of all Liens), without any further act or formality, and such Dissenting Shareholders shall cease to have any rights as holders of such GameSquare Shares other than the right to be paid fair value for such GameSquare Shares as set out in the Arrangement Agreement.

Following the Transaction:

(b) the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer will consist of seven (7) individuals: Justin Kenna, Travis Goff, Tom Walker, Jeremi Gorman, Tom Rogers, Lou Schwartz, and Stuart Porter;
(c) the senior management of the Resulting Issuer shall be reconstituted as follows:
(1) Justin Kenna - Chief Executive Officer of the Resulting Issuer;

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers, and employees of the Corporation. The Corporation will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are officers of the Corporation. If you are a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting or at any adjournment thereof. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy (and striking out the names now designated) or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy. For instructions regarding the delivery of instruments of proxy, see below under the heading "Registered Shareholders."

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to: each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified; any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy FOR the approval of such matter. Management is not currently aware of any other matter that could come before the Meeting. However, if any amendment or variation to any matter identified in the accompanying Notice or any other matter, which are not now known to management, should properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof, the Common Shares represented by properly executed proxies in favour of the person(s) designated by management in the enclosed Proxy will be voted on any such matter pursuant to such discretionary authority.

- 13 -

Registered Shareholders

A Registered Shareholder may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the enclosed Proxy and returning it to the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Transfer Agent") as follows: by internet at www.investorvote.com; or by mail or hand delivery to 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1. To be effective, the Proxy must be received by not less than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of Ontario, before the time set for the holding of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof (the "Proxy Deadline").

Non-Registered Shareholders

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Shareholders of the Corporation are Non-Registered Shareholders, because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names, but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Common Shares. More particularly, a person is a Non-Registered Shareholder in respect of Common Shares which are held on behalf of that person, but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares (intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the intermediary is a participant. Non-Registered Shareholders do not appear on the list of Shareholders of the Corporation maintained by the Transfer Agent.

In accordance with the requirements as set out in National Instrument 54-101 - Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice, this Circular, the Proxy and the supplemental mailing list return card (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to the clearing agencies and intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders who have advised their intermediaries that they object to such intermediaries providing their ownership information to the Corporation.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries will frequently use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, any Non-Registered Shareholder who has not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

(a) be given the Proxy which has already been signed by the intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the intermediary has already signed the Proxy, it is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting it. If the Non-Registered Shareholder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on their behalf), the Non-Registered Shareholder must complete the Proxy and deposit it with the Corporation's Transfer Agent, as provided above. If a Non-Registered Shareholder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on their behalf), the Non-Registered Shareholder must strike out the names of the persons named in the Proxy and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided; or
- 14 -
(b) (more typically) be given a voting instruction form ("VIF") which is not signed by the intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions which the intermediary must follow. Typically, the VIF will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the VIF will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the proxy to validly constitute a VIF, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the proxy, properly complete and sign the proxy and return it to the intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the intermediary or its service company. If the Non-Registered Shareholder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the VIF must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form. If a Non-Registered Shareholder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on their behalf), the Non-Registered Shareholder must complete, sign and return the VIF in accordance with the directions provided and a form of proxy giving the right to attend and vote will be forwarded to the Non-Registered Shareholder.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the votes attached to the Common Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the names of the Management proxyholders named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder's name in the blank space provided on the form. In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their intermediaries, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxies authorization forms are to be delivered.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

The Engine Shares represented by an appropriate form of proxy will be voted on any ballot that may be conducted at the Meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, in accordance with the instructions contained on the form of proxy and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted on, the Engine Shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of instructions, such Engine Shares will be voted FOR each of the matters described in the Notice of Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy, when properly completed and signed, confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote on any amendments to or variations of the matters described in the Notice of Meeting and on other matters, if any, which may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, whether or not any amendments variations or other matters are routine or contested. As at the date hereof, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matter which is not now known to management of the Corporation should properly be brought before the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, the Engine Shares represented by such proxy will be voted on such matter in accordance with the judgment of the person named as proxy thereon.

Signing of Proxy

The form of proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or the duly appointed attorney thereof authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by an authorized officer of such corporation. A form of proxy signed by the person acting as attorney of the Shareholder or in some other representative capacity, including an officer of a corporation which is a Shareholder, should indicate the capacity in which such person is signing. A Shareholder or his or her attorney may sign the form of proxy or a power of attorney authorizing the creation of a proxy by electronic signature provided that the means of electronic signature permits a reliable determination that the document was created or communicated by or on behalf of such Shareholder or by or on behalf of his or her attorney, as the case may be.

- 15 -

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by:

(a) executing a Proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Registered Shareholder or the Registered Shareholder's authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the Proxy bearing a later date to the Transfer Agent or at the address of the Corporation at 77 King St. W., Suite 3000, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1G8, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law, or
(b) by personally attending the Meeting and voting the Registered Shareholder's Common Shares.

A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke proxies. Any Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to change its vote must arrange for its intermediary to revoke its proxy on its behalf.

Quorum

A quorum will be present at the Meeting if one or more voting persons are present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING ENGINE

See Schedule D - Additional Information Concerning Engine, including the following sections: "Executive Compensation", "Audit Committee" and "Corporate Governance".

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As of the date of this Circular, 16,027,267 Common Shares were issued and outstanding, with each Common Share carrying one vote in respect of each matter to be voted upon at a meeting of Shareholders.

As at the Record Date, to the knowledge of the Corporation, no person owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation.

ANNUAL BUSINESS TO BE CONDUCTED AT THE MEETING

Audited Financial Statements

The Shareholders will receive and consider the audited financial statements of Engine for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, and August 31, 2021, together with the auditor's report thereon.

Re-Appointment of Auditor

Management recommends the re-appointment of Baker Tilly WM LLP, Chartered Accountants, ("Baker Tilly") as the auditors for the Corporation, to hold office until the next annual general meeting of Shareholders at a remuneration to be fixed by the Engine Board. Baker Tilly were first appointed as auditors of the Corporation on July 17, 2020.

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will, in the absence of specifications or instructions to withhold from voting on the form of proxy, vote FOR the re-appointment of Baker Tilly as the auditors of the Corporation, to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation and to authorize the Board to fix such auditor's remuneration.

Election of Directors

The term of office of each of the current directors will end at the conclusion of the Meeting. Unless a director's office is earlier vacated in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA, each Director elected will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Corporation.

The articles of the Corporation provide that the Board may consist of a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of ten (10) directors to be elected annually. The Board is currently composed of six (6) directors: Tom Rogers, Louis Schwartz, Lawrence Rutkowski, Rudolph Cline-Thomas, Gregory Raifman and Stuart Porter. Management proposes to set the number of directors of the Corporation at five (5) for the ensuing year, subject to completion of the Transaction. It is proposed that all of the current members of the Board, except Lawrence Rutkowski, will be nominated at the Meeting (such directors, the "Nominees").

In the absence of a contrary instruction, the person(s) designated by management of the Corporation in the enclosed Proxy intend(s) to vote FOR the election as directors of the proposed Nominees whose names are set forth below, each of whom has been a director since the date indicated below opposite the proposed Nominee's name.

Management does not contemplate that any of the proposed Nominees will be unable to serve as a director, but if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the Common Shares represented by properly executed proxies given in favour of such Nominee(s) may be voted by the person(s) designated by management of the Corporation in the enclosed Proxy, in their discretion, in favour of another Nominee.

The following table sets forth information with respect to each Nominee, including the number of Common Shares beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by such person or the person's associates or affiliates as at the Record Date. The information as to Common Shares beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, not being within the knowledge of the Corporation, has been furnished by the respective proposed Nominees individually, and such information does not include Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants or other convertible securities of the Corporation.

Cease Trade Orders, Sanctions and Bankruptcies

To the knowledge of the Corporation, as of the date hereof, no Nominee, except as described below:

(a) is, or has been, within 10 years before the date hereof, a director, CEO or CFO of any company (including the Corporation) that:
was subject to an order that was issued while the proposed director was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO, or
was subject to an order that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, CEO or CFO and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO;
- 18 -
(b) is, or has been, within 10 years before the date hereof, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Corporation) that, while such Nominee was acting in that capacity, or within a year of such Nominee ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or
(c) has, within 10 years before the date hereof, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangements or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of such Nominee.

For the purposes of the above section, the term "order" means: a cease trade order, including a management cease trade order; an order similar to a cease trade order; or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days.

To the knowledge of the Corporation, as of the date hereof, no Nominee has been subject to:

(a) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or
(b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body,

that would likely be considered important to a reasonable Shareholder in deciding to vote for a proposed director.

June 2020 Cease Trade Order

On June 22, 2020, the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") issued a temporary cease trade order against the Corporation for failure to file its second quarter interim financial statements for the six-month period ended February 29, 2020, the related management's discussion and analysis and certificates of its CEO and CFO (the "Q2 Filings"). On July 8, 2020, the Corporation filed the Q2 Filings. The OSC lifted the cease trade order on July 10, 2020. The Corporation was reinstated for trading on the TSXV and the Common Shares resumed trading on July 27, 2020. At the time, Louis Schwartz, Tom Rogers and Michael Munoz were directors or officers of the Corporation.

Conflicts of Interest

In the event conflicts of interest arise at a meeting of the Board, a director who has such a conflict will declare the conflict and abstain from voting. In appropriate cases, the Corporation will establish a special committee of independent non-executive directors (drawn from the majority of its members who must at all times be "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110) to review a matter in which one or more directors or management may have a conflict.

Except as disclosed in this Circular, to the best of the Corporation's knowledge, there are no known existing or potential material conflicts of interest between the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any director or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, except that certain of the directors of the Corporation serve as directors and officers of other companies and it is therefore possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director or officer of the Corporation and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies. Where such conflicts arise, they will be addressed as indicated above.

- 19 -

Election of Resulting Issuer Directors

Should the Transaction be completed, it is anticipated that the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer will consist of seven (7) individuals: Justin Kenna, Travis Goff, Tom Walker, Jeremi Gorman, Tom Rogers, Lou Schwartz, and Stuart Porter (the "Resulting Issuer Directors").

As such, Engine Shareholders are also being asked to pass an ordinary resolution to take effect on completion of the Transaction, (a) fixing the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer at seven (7) members and (b) electing the Resulting Issuer Directors as directors to hold office from the completion of the Transaction until the next meeting of Engine Shareholders called for the purposes of electing directors or until their successors are otherwise appointed.

See "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Directors and Officers" for more information regarding the Resulting Issuer Directors, including their names and municipalities of residence, the number of Resulting Issuer Shares anticipated to be beneficially owned or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by them on completion of the Transaction, the offices to be held by each of them in the Resulting Issuer, and the present principal occupation of each of them.

In the absence of a contrary instruction, the person(s) designated by management of the Corporation in the enclosed Proxy intend(s) to vote FOR the election of the proposed nominees as the Resulting Issuer Directors.

Management does not contemplate that any of the Resulting Issuer Directors will be unable to serve as directors of the Resulting Issuer on completion of the Transaction; however, if for any reason, any of the proposed nominees do not stand for election or are unable to serve as such, proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted for another nominee in their discretion unless the Engine Shareholder has specified in their proxy that their Engine Shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of directors.

In the event the Transaction is not completed, assuming their election, Tom Rogers, Louis Schwartz, Rudolph Cline-Thomas, Gregory Raifman and Stuart Porter will remain as directors of the Corporation and hold office until the next meeting of Engine Shareholders called for the purposes of electing directors or until their successors are otherwise appointed.

The biographies for Tom Rogers, Lou Schwartz, and Stuart Porter, who will be continuing with Resulting Issuer, are set out in "Schedule D - Additional Information Concerning Engine - Directors and Officers". The biographies for Justin Kenna, Travis Goff, Tom Walker, and Jeremi Gorman are set out in "Schedule E - Information Concerning GameSquare - Directors and Officers".

SPECIAL BUSINESS TO BE CONDUCTED AT THE MEETING

Omnibus Plan

Management recommends Shareholders approve the ordinary resolution confirming the amended and restated Omnibus Plan, including an increase to the number of securities available under the Omnibus Plan. The Corporation has adopted the Omnibus Plan in accordance with the policies of the TSXV which provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with TSXV requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and/or its affiliates ("Eligible Participants"), Common Share purchase options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), and deferred share units ("DSUs", and collectively with the Options and RSUs, the "Awards").

- 20 -

The amended and restated Omnibus Plan would provide the Board with the flexibility to make broader and different forms of equity awards for Eligible Participants and thereby maintain a competitive compensation structure. Further, the use of a wider range of equity-based compensation as part of a total compensation package gives the Board more flexibility in setting the base salaries of the various Eligible Participants. This would give the Corporation greater control over the management of its fixed cash expenses in the area of employee compensation.

Under the policies of the TSXV, RSUs and DSUs are subject to a 1-year vesting period except in certain circumstances. Further, Directors may grant Awards with vesting periods as the circumstances require. The Omnibus Plan authorizes the Board to grant Awards to Eligible Participants on the following terms:

1. Under the Omnibus Plan, the total number of Common Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to Options shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of grant. As described in the Omnibus Plan, the exercise price for Shares that are the subject of any Option are fixed by the Board when such Option is granted but will not be less than the last closing price of the Shares on the principal stock exchange on which the Shares are listed prior to the date of grant. While the term in which the Option is exercisable will vary based on the determination of the Board at the time of grant, the Option will not expire on a date that is later than ten (10) years from the date the Option was granted.
2. For so long as the Corporation is listed on the TSXV or on another exchange that requires the Corporation to fix the number of Common Shares to be issued in settlement of Awards that are not Options, the maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance pursuant to the settlement of RSUs and DSUs together shall be an aggregate of 4,268,586 Common Shares. Eligible Participants are entitled to redeem DSUs during the period commencing on the Business Day immediately following the Termination Date (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) and ending on the date that is 1 year following the Termination Date. RSUs must be settled by the Eligible Participant at a time beginning on the first Business Day following the RSU Vesting Determination Date (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) but no later than three (3) years after the RSU is granted.
3. The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to Insiders at any time, under all of the Corporation's Share Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares at any point in time, unless the Corporation has obtained disinterested shareholder approval as required by the policies of the TSXV.
4. The aggregate number of Common Shares for which Awards may be issued to any one participant in any 12-month period shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Shares, unless the Corporation obtains disinterested shareholder approval as required by the policies of the TSXV. The aggregate number of Common Shares for which Awards may be issued to any one consultant within any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the outstanding Common Shares, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the consultant. The aggregate number of Common Shares for which Options may be issued to any Investor Relations service provider (as defined by the TSXV) within any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the outstanding Common Shares, calculated on the date an Option is granted to such persons. Investor Relations service providers are not eligible to receive any Award of RSUs or DSUs.
- 21 -
5. Unless disinterested shareholder approval as required by the policies of the TSXV is obtained, the aggregate number of Engine Shares (i) issued to Insiders under the Omnibus Plan or any other proposed or established Share Compensation Arrangement within any 12-month period and (ii) issuable to Insiders at any time under the Omnibus Plan or any other proposed or established Share Compensation Arrangement, shall in each case not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Corporation (on a non-diluted basis) from time to time.
6. The Board shall not make grants of Awards to Directors if, after giving effect to such grants of Awards, the aggregate number of Shares issuable to Directors, at the time of such grant, under all of the Corporation's Share Compensation Arrangements would exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, provided that such limit shall not apply to (i) Awards taken in lieu of any cash retainer or meeting director fees, and (ii) a one-time initial grant to a Director upon such Director joining the Board.
7. All Awards granted or issued under the Omnibus Plan must be redeemed within 12-months of ceasing to be an Eligible Participant under the Omnibus Plan. In the case of death of an Eligible Participant, any claim for outstanding entitlement to Awards by an Eligible Participant's heirs or administrators must be made within 12-months of death.
8. All Awards granted or issued under the Omnibus Plan are non-transferable and non-assignable in any manner, including assignment, except as may be permitted by TSXV policies.

The Board may provide the circumstances in which Awards shall be exercised, vested, paid or forfeited in the event a participant ceases to provide service to the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation prior to the end of a performance period or exercise or settlement of such Award. On the occurrence of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan) and unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan) or a written employment contract between the Corporation and a participant and except as otherwise set out as follows, the Board, may provide that: (1) the successor corporation or entity will assume each Award or replace it with a substitute Award on terms substantially similar to the existing Award; (2) the Awards will be surrendered for a cash payment made by the successor corporation or entity equal to the fair market value thereof; or (3) any combination of the foregoing will occur, provided that the replacement of any option with a substitute option shall comply with the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the replacement of any Award with a substitute option, DSU or RSU shall be such that the substitute Award shall continuously be governed by section 7 of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

If within 12 months following a Change in Control (unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or a written employment contract between the Corporation and a participant), a participant or a participant's service, consulting relationship, or employment with the Corporation, or continuing entity is terminated without cause, or the participant resigns from his or her employment as a result of either (i) the Corporation requiring the participant to be based at a location in excess of one hundred (100) kilometers from the location of the participant's principal job location or office immediately prior to a Change in Control; or (ii) a reduction in the participant's base salary, or a substantial reduction in the participant's target compensation under any incentive compensation plan, as in effect as of the date of a Change in Control, then all Awards then held by such participant (and, if applicable, the time during which such Awards may be exercised) shall immediately vest. In the event that an Award is subject to vesting upon the attainment of Performance Criteria (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) and falls within a permitted exception to the 12-month vesting requirement in TSXV policies, then the number of Options or RSUs that shall immediately vest will be determined by multiplying the Award agreement by the pro rata Performance Criteria achieved by the Termination Date (as defined in the Omnibus Plan).

- 22 -

The Board may amend the Omnibus Plan or any Award at any time without the consent of a participant provided that such amendment shall (i) not adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the Omnibus Plan, (ii) be in compliance with applicable law and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSXV, and (iii) be subject to shareholder approval, where required by law, the requirements of the TSXV or the Omnibus Plan, provided however that shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments and the Board may make any changes which may include but are not limited to: (A) amendments of a general housekeeping or clerical nature that, among others, clarify, correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission in the Omnibus Plan; and (B) changes that alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting or settlement applicable to any Award provided that for Options it does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date.

As described in the Omnibus Plan, the following amendments require the approval of Shareholders: (i) a change to the maximum number of Common Shares that may be made the subject of Awards under the Omnibus Plan; (ii) any amendment which reduces the exercise price of any Award, as applicable, after such Awards have been granted or any cancellation of an Award and the substitution of that Award by a new Award with a reduced price; (iii) any amendment which extends the expiry date of any Award, or the restriction period of any RSU beyond the original expiry date; (iv) any amendment which would have the potential of broadening or increasing participation by insiders; (v) any amendment which would permit any Award granted under the Omnibus Plan to be transferable or assignable by any participant other than for normal estate settlement purposes; (vi) any amendment which increases the maximum number of Shares that may be (a) issuable to insiders, associates of such insiders, consultants or persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities at any time; or (b) issued to insiders, associates of such insiders, consultants or persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities under the Omnibus Plan and any other proposed or established share compensation arrangement in a one-year period; (vii) increase limits imposed on the participation of non-employee directors that are not officers or employees of the Corporation; (viii) otherwise cause the Omnibus Plan to cease to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement, including for these purposes any approval or other requirement; or (ix) any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Omnibus Plan. Common Shares held directly or indirectly by insiders benefiting from the amendments in sections (ii) and (iii) above shall be excluded when obtaining such shareholder approval.

The Board may, subject to regulatory approval, discontinue the Omnibus Plan at any time without the consent of the participants provided that such discontinuance shall not materially and adversely affect any Awards previously granted to a Participant under the Omnibus Plan.

The Board (or the designate committee of the Board) may, by resolution, but subject to applicable regulatory approvals, decide that any of the provisions of the Omnibus Plan concerning the effect of termination of the participant's employment shall not apply for any reason acceptable to the Board (or a committee thereof).

The Omnibus Plan was approved by shareholders of the Corporation at a meeting held on October 6, 2021, which amends and restates the equity incentive plan which was previously established as of July 15, 2020. As of January 23, 2023, there were an aggregate of 3,097,427 Options, nil DSUs, and 457,228 RSUs outstanding under the existing Omnibus Plan.

THE TRANSACTION

Purpose of the Transaction

The Arrangement Agreement provides that Engine will acquire all the issued and outstanding GameSquare Shares in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. As a result, former GameSquare Shareholders will own approximately 60% of the Resulting Issuer, and current Engine shareholders approximately 40% of the Resulting Issuer.

Background to the Transaction

The provisions of the Arrangement Agreement are the result of arm's length negotiations conducted among representatives of Engine, GameSquare, and their respective legal and financial advisors, as applicable. The following is a summary of the principal events, meetings, negotiations, discussions and actions among the parties leading up to the execution and public announcement of the Arrangement Agreement.

On August 26, 2022, Engine and GameSquare entered into a confidentiality agreement and the Parties' management teams commenced discussions about possible transactions that could add value for both Parties (the "Confidentiality Agreement") and discussions continued over the next several months.

On October 6, 2022, Engine announced that it had commenced a process to explore and evaluate strategic options to enhance and preserve Shareholder value, including a merger, reverse merger, acquisition, or other business combination.

On October 13, 2022, Engine and GameSquare entered into a non-binding letter of intent which expressed interest from both sides to continue to advance the discussions towards formulating a transaction structure which would be acceptable to both parties.

- 24 -

On October 29, 2022, Engine and GameSquare entered an amending non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with limited validity and subject to certain other conditions, which set out the general terms of a transaction structure that would result in Engine Shareholders owning 40% of the resulting entity and GameSquare Shareholders owning 60% of the resulting entity.

After entering into the amending LOI, Engine management formed a comprehensive due diligence team, which conducted in depth due diligence on GameSquare's businesses.

On December 6, 2022, Haywood was retained by Engine to act as financial advisor in respect of any potential transaction involving GameSquare, including to provide an independent fairness opinion to the Board with respect to the consideration to be paid by Engine pursuant to the Arrangement.

Between November 10, 2022 and December 7, 2022, Engine continued to monitor the state of the capital markets, and, along with legal counsel to Engine and GameSquare and their other respective professional advisors, negotiated and settled the final outstanding terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

On December 6, 2022, at a meeting of the Board, following presentations by Mr. Schwartz on behalf of Engine management, Haywood and after full consideration of the relevant factors including those set forth under the heading "Reasons for the Transaction" below, the Board unanimously resolved to approve the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, determined that it is in the best interest of Engine for the Arrangement to be consummated and for the Board to support the Arrangement, and recommended that Shareholders vote their Engine Shares in favour of the Transaction Resolution.

On December 7, 2022, Engine and GameSquare executed the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement was publicly announced prior to market open of the TSXV and Nasdaq on December 8, 2022.

Fairness Opinion

Engine retained Haywood Securities Inc. to provide an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration Shares to be issued to the GameSquare Shareholders pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

On December 6, 2022, Haywood Securities Inc. verbally delivered its opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that as at the date thereof, the Consideration Shares to be paid to the GameSquare Shareholders pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view to Engine. A summary of the Fairness Opinion, setting out the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken in connection with the Fairness Opinion, is attached as Schedule C to this Circular.

The Fairness Opinion was provided solely for the information and assistance of the Engine Board in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and is not a recommendation to any Shareholder as to how to vote or act on any matter relating to the Transaction. The Fairness Opinion was only one factor that the Engine Board took into consideration in making its determination to recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction Resolution.

Recommendation of the Engine Board

After careful consideration and having considered, among other things, the Fairness Opinion, the Engine Board has unanimously determined that the Transaction is, and continues to be, in the best interests of the Corporation and that the Transaction is fair to Engine and has authorized the submission of the Transaction to the Shareholders for their approval at the Meeting. The Engine Board has determined unanimously to recommend to the Shareholders that they vote FOR the Transaction Resolution.

Reasons for the Transaction

In evaluating the Transaction, and in making their recommendations, the Engine Board gave careful consideration to the current and expected future financial position of the Corporation and all terms of the Arrangement Agreement. The Engine Board considered several factors including, among others, the following:

(a) Significant financial profile. GameSquare and Engine, combined, have delivered $70+ million of trailing twelve-month revenue (unaudited), reflecting a nearly doubling of revenues over that same period.
(b) Enhanced financial predictability. The Transaction is expected to improve the recurring and reoccurring revenue profile of the combined business. Management believes that a larger, predictable revenue profile from the entity's agency, programmatic, SaaS, sponsorships, and league fees provide an improved financial foundation for accelerated growth.
(c) Highly Complementary Businesses. Management believes that the businesses within Engine and GameSquare are highly complementary and expect significant opportunities for revenue synergies and acceleration of growth. The combination of creative digital agencies, an influencer marketing platform, innovative advertising solutions, leading programmatic businesses, an elite esports organization, audience intelligence technology, content production, and merchandise and consumer product design means that the Resulting Issuer will have a robust end-to-end suite of services for brands seeking to reach gaming and esports fans.
(d) Global client base with limited cross over. Management believes the limited overlap of existing brands and clients will provide numerous opportunities for cross selling and optimization to clients, including, amongst others, The Kraft Heinz Group, Tyson Foods, Jack in the Box, HyperX, Epic Games, Microsoft, the Dallas Cowboys, Riot Games, Activision Blizzard, and Electronic Arts.
(e) Large audience in gaming and esports. Management believes that the combination of GameSquare and Engine may result in an audience and reach as large as any gaming and esports company currently in the market; GameSquare has an audience of 220 million and Engine has 130 million monthly followers within the advertising network.
(f) Improved access to U.S. investors and capital. The Resulting Issuer intends to retain Nasdaq and TSXV dual listing under the ticker symbol GAME. Management believes that access to the U.S. financial markets as a gaming and esports company with significant revenue scale could represent an opportunity for valuation rerating catalyst for the Resulting Issuer.
(g) Accelerated path to profitability. The Resulting Issuer is expected be on an accelerated path to profitability in 2023 as it will benefit from significant operating leverage, outsized revenue growth, and meaningful cost synergies following the Transaction.
(h) Experienced management and board of directors. The Corporation expects to greatly benefit from substantial experience of the post-Transaction management team and a strong board of directors. The leadership team will be composed of executives from GameSquare and Engine that will have deep managerial expertise supported by the talented staff and leaders throughout the two companies.
(i) Enhanced Capital Markets Profile. Increased scale of the Resulting Issuer would enhance its capital markets profile.
- 26 -
(j) Expanded Platform for Future Growth. Management believes the Transaction is expected to deliver meaningful cost and revenue synergies as well as accelerate scale.
(k) Terms of the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement is the result of an arm's length negotiation process and includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the circumstances including the right to match or amend the Arrangement Agreement if GameSquare receives a Superior Proposal. See "Arrangement Agreement - Right to Match".
(l) Evaluation and Analysis. Engine has given lengthy consideration to the business, operations, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospects for the Resulting Issuer as well as current industry, economic and market conditions and related risks.
(m) Receipt of Fairness Opinion. The Engine Board has received the Fairness Opinion, in which Haywood opined that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, limitations considered and qualifications set forth therein, the Consideration to be received under the Plan of Arrangement by the GameSquare Shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view to Engine Shareholders.

The Engine Board also considered a number of potential risks and potential negative factors relating to the Transaction, including the following:

(n) Completion Risk. If the Transaction is not completed, Engine will have incurred significant costs in pursuing the Transaction and the management of Engine will have their attention diverted from Engine's business;
(o) Termination Rights of GameSquare. GameSquare has the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement under certain limited circumstances; and
(p) Non-Solicitation Covenants. There are limitations contained in the Arrangement Agreement on Engine's ability to solicit additional interest from third parties.

The reasons of the Engine Board for recommending the Transaction include certain assumptions relating to forward-looking information, and such information and assumptions are subject to various risks. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors Relating to the Transaction" in this Circular.

The Engine Board evaluated all the factors summarized above in light of their knowledge of the business and operations of the Corporation and based on the advice of financial and legal advisors to the Engine Board and in the exercise of their business judgment. However, the foregoing summary of the information and factors considered by the Engine Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In view of the variety of factors and the amount of information considered in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction, the Engine Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify, rank or otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to the foregoing factors considered in their determinations. In addition, in considering the factors described above, individual members of the Engine Board may have given different weights to various factors and may have applied different analysis to each of the material factors considered by the Engine Board.

Subject to Laws and any required approvals, GameSquare and Engine shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the GameSquare Shares to be de-listed from the CSE with effect promptly following the acquisition by Engine of the GameSquare Shares pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement.

The Parties agreed that the cost of such policies will not exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate and that if such insurance coverage is unavailable, Engine will, or will cause the Engine Subsidiaries, as applicable, to maintain tail policies with the best available insurance coverage whose cost will not exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate.

-37-

Responding to an Acquisition Proposal

If at any time following December 7, 2022 and prior to, either Party's respective resolution approving the Transaction, a Party receiving an Acquisition Proposal that does not result from a breach of the Arrangement Agreement, may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal, and may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records of such Party or its Subsidiaries to the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal, if and only if:

(d) prior to providing any such copies, access, or disclosure, the Party enters into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal substantially in the same form as the Confidentiality Agreement and which will not contain an exclusivity provision or other term which would restrict in any manner such Party's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement or to comply with its disclosure obligations to the other Party; and
(e) such Party promptly provides the other Party with:
i. written notice stating such Party's intention to participate in such discussions or negotiations and to provide such copies, access or disclosure;

-38-

Right to Match

If a Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to approval of either Party's respective Resolution approving the Transaction, the Receiving Party may, subject to compliance with the Arrangement Agreement, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(a) the person or persons making such Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purposes or similar restriction with the Receiving Party or its Subsidiaries;
(b) the Receiving Party has been, and continues to be in, compliance with its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement in all material respects;
(c) the Receiving Party has delivered to the other Party a written notice of the determination of the Receiving Party's board of directors that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Receiving Party's board of directors to make a Change in Recommendation or approve, recommend, or enter into, a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, including a Superior Proposal Notice;
(d) the Receiving Party has provided the other Party a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal and all ancillary documents (and supporting materials) containing material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, including any financing documents supplied to a Receiving Party in connection therewith;
(e) the Matching Period has elapsed;
(f) during any Matching Period, such other Party has had the opportunity to offer to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;
(g) after the Matching Period, the Receiving Party's board of directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure by the board of directors to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and
(h) prior to or concurrently with making a Change in Recommendation or entering into such definitive agreement the Receiving Party terminates the Arrangement Agreement.

During the Matching Period, or such longer period as the Receiving Party may approve in writing for such purpose, the Receiving Party's board of directors must review any offer made by the other Party to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the Receiving Party's board of directors determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Receiving Party shall promptly advise the other Party and the Parties shall amend the Arrangement Agreement to reflect such offer made by the other Party.

Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Receiving Party or its shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof constitute a new Acquisition Proposal and the other Party shall be afforded a new full Matching Period to match the new Superior Proposal from the Receiving Party.

The Receiving Party's board of directors shall promptly reaffirm the GameSquare Board Recommendation or the Engine Board Recommendation, as the case may be, by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the Receiving Party's board of directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal.

-39-

If the Receiving Party provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the other Party on a date that is less than five (5) Business Days before the GameSquare Meeting or the Engine Meeting, as the case may be, the other Party will be entitled to require the Receiving Party to proceed with or adjourn or postpone such GameSquare Meeting or Engine Meeting, to a date specified by the other Party that is not more than ten (10) Business Days after the scheduled date of the GameSquare Meeting or the Engine Meeting and provided that such adjourned or postponed meeting is held at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated prior to the Effective Time by:

(a) the mutual written agreement of the Parties; or
(b) either Engine or GameSquare if:
the Effective Date shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations or its breach of any of its representations and warranties under the Arrangement Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur by the Outside Date;
there shall be enacted or made any Law or there shall exist any Order that makes consummation of the Plan of Arrangement illegal or otherwise restricts, prohibits or enjoins GameSquare or Engine from consummating the Plan of Arrangement and such Law or Order shall have become final and non-appealable, provided that the Party's shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to, as applicable, appeal or overturn any such Order or lift such Order;
the GameSquare Arrangement Resolution shall not have been passed by the GameSquare Shareholders at the GameSquare Meeting in accordance with the Interim Order; or

SECURITIES LAW MATTERS

The following is a brief summary of the Canadian and United States securities law considerations applying to the transactions contemplated herein not discussed elsewhere in this Circular.

Canadian Securities Laws

This summary is only a general overview of certain requirements of Canadian Securities Laws relating to the Transaction that may be applicable to Engine Shares, Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options and Replacement RSUs to be issued by Engine to GameSquare Shareholders and holders of GameSquare Warrants, GameSquare Options, and GameSquare RSUs respectively, in exchange for their GameSquare Warrants, GameSquare Options, and GameSquare RSUs. This should not be construed to be, legal or business advice to any particular Securityholder. This summary does not include any information regarding securities law considerations for jurisdictions other than Canada. Each Shareholder is urged to consult its professional advisors to determine the Canadian conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the Engine Shares issuable pursuant to the Transaction.

The issuance of Engine Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute a distribution of securities that is exempt from the prospectus requirement of applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Engine Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in each province and territory of Canada, provided: (i) that Engine is a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada for the four months immediately preceding the trade; (ii) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined in NI 45-102; (iii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or create a demand for those securities; (iv) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect of that trade; and (v) if the selling securityholder is an "insider" or "officer" of Engine (as such terms are defined by applicable Canadian Securities Laws), the insider or officer has no reasonable grounds to believe that Engine is in default of applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

-41-

To the extent that a Shareholder resides in a non-Canadian jurisdiction, the GameSquare Shares received by the Shareholder may be subject to certain additional trading restrictions under Securities Laws. All Shareholders residing outside Canada are advised to consult their own legal advisors regarding such resale restrictions.

U.S. Securities Laws

The following discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. Securities Laws that may be applicable to Engine Shares, Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options and Replacement RSUs to be issued by Engine to GameSquare Shareholders and holders of GameSquare Warrants, GameSquare Options and GameSquare RSUs, respectively, in exchange for their GameSquare Shares, GameSquare Warrants, GameSquare Options and GameSquare RSUs, respectively. All holders of such securities are urged to obtain legal advice to ensure that the resale of such securities complies with applicable U.S. Securities Laws and to determine the U.S. conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the Engine Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement or upon exercise or conversion of the Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options or Replacement RSUs, as applicable. Further information applicable to the holders of such securities resident in the United States is disclosed in this Circular under the heading "Notice to Securityholders in the United States".

Exemption from U.S. Registration

The Engine Shares, Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options and Replacement RSUs to be issued by Engine to GameSquare Shareholders and holders of GameSquare Warrants, GameSquare Options and GameSquare RSUs, respectively, in exchange for their GameSquare Shares, GameSquare Warrants, GameSquare Options and GameSquare RSUs, respectively, pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued and exchanged in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption and in accordance with similar exemptions from any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States, and pursuant to the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in the Arrangement Agreement. The Section 3(a)(10) exemption exempts from registration a security that is issued in exchange for outstanding securities, claims or property interests where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange, and to whom adequate notice has been given, have the right to appear, by a court or by a Governmental Entity expressly authorized by law to grant such approval. The Court issued the Interim Order on February 6, 2023, and, subject to the approval of the Plan of Arrangement by the Shareholders, a hearing for a Final Order approving the Plan of Arrangement is currently scheduled to take place on March 13, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in Toronto, Ontario. The Final Order of the Court will, if granted, constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) exemption with respect to the issuance and distribution of securities to GameSquare securityholders under the Arrangement.

The Section 3(a)(10) exemption will not be available for the issuance of securities upon the exercise of Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options and Replacement RSUs. This means that the Engine Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Replacement Warrants, Replacement Options and Replacement RSUs cannot be issued in the United States or to a U.S. Person in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption and the Replacement Options and Replacement Warrants may only be exercised and the underlying Engine Shares issued in the United States or by a U.S. Person pursuant to Engine's effective registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-257418), a registration statement to be filed by Engine in accordance with General Instructions E to Form S-8 under the U.S. Securities Act or a then-available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

-42-

All of the Engine Shares to be received by GameSquare securityholders under the Plan of Arrangement will be freely tradable for purposes of the U.S. Securities Act, except for Engine Shares received by any GameSquare securityholder who becomes an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act) of Engine after completion of the Transaction (such as GameSquare directors or executive officers who become directors or executive officers of Engine after the Transaction and any person deemed to have been an affiliate of Engine within 90 days before the resale of any Engine Shares received under the Arrangement). This Circular does not cover resales of any Engine Shares received by any person upon completion of the Transaction, and no person is authorized to make any use of this Circular in connection with any resale.

Any GameSquare securityholder who, after consummation of the Transaction is an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act) of Engine or was deemed to have been, at any time during the 90 days immediately before the resale of any Engine Shares received under the Arrangement, an "affiliate" of Engine may not resell such Engine Shares, unless the issuance of such shares is registered under the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption from registration requirement, such as the exemptions contained in Rule 144 and Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, is available.

As defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer and may include certain officers and directors of such issuer as well as principal shareholders of such issuer. "Control" means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause direction of the management and policies of an issuer, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

Affiliates - Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144, persons that are affiliates of Engine after consummation of the Transaction or were deemed to have been affiliates of Engine within the 90 days immediately before the resale of the Engine Shares received under the Transaction will be entitled to sell such shares that they receive under the Transaction in the United States, provided that the number of such shares sold, together with all other shares of the same class sold for their account during any three-month period, does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding securities of such class or, if such shares are listed on a U.S. securities exchange and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a U.S. registered securities association, the average weekly trading volume of such shares during the four calendar week period preceding the filing of Form 144 (or if no Form 144 is required because the amount of securities to be sold in reliance upon Rule 144 during any period of three months does not exceed 5,000 shares or has an aggregate sale price of $50,000 or less, the date of receipt of the order to execute the transaction by the broker or the date of execution of the transaction directly with a market maker), subject to aggregation rules, specified restrictions on manner of sale, reporting requirements under the aforementioned Form 144, and the availability of current public information about the Resulting Issuer. Persons that are or become affiliates of Engine after the Transaction will continue to be subject to the resale restrictions described in this paragraph for so long as they continue to be affiliates of Engine, and for 90 days thereafter.

-43-

Affiliates - Regulation S

In general, pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, persons who are affiliates of Engine solely by virtue of their status as an officer or director of such company may offer or sell Engine Shares in a transaction deemed to occur outside the United States in an "offshore transaction" (which would include a sale through the TSXV, if applicable) if neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf engages in "directed selling efforts" in the United States and no selling commission, fee or other remuneration is paid in connection with such sale other than a usual and customary broker's commission. For purposes of Regulation S, "directed selling efforts" means, "any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the securities being offered" in the contemplated Regulation S sale transaction. Pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S, certain additional restrictions are applicable to a holder of Engine Shares who is an affiliate of Engine after the Transaction other than solely by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of Engine.

Shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors relating to the Transaction before deciding to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the matters relating to the Transaction. In addition to the risk factors relating to the Transaction set out below, Shareholders should also carefully consider the risk factors applicable to Engine referred to in Schedule D to this Circular and the risk factors applicable to GameSquare referred to in Schedule E to this Circular.

Additional risks and uncertainties, including those currently unknown or considered immaterial by GameSquare, may also adversely affect the business of the Corporation following completion of the Transaction. All of the risk factors described below and referred to in Schedule D and Schedule E to this Circular should be considered by Shareholders in conjunction with the other information included in this Circular, including the Schedules hereto.

Risks Related to the Transaction

The Corporation could fail to complete the Transaction or the Transaction may be completed on different terms

Each of the Parties has the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can the Parties provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated before the completion of the Transaction.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed, or if completed, that it will be completed on the same or similar terms to those set out in the Arrangement Agreement. The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions which include, among others, (i) obtaining necessary approvals, and (ii) performance by the Corporation and GameSquare of their respective obligations and covenants in the Arrangement Agreement.

In addition, if the Transaction is not completed the ongoing business of the Corporation may be adversely affected as a result of the costs (including opportunity costs) incurred in respect of pursuing the Transaction, and the Corporation could experience negative reactions from the financial markets, which could cause a decrease in the market price of the Corporation's securities, particularly if the market price reflects market assumptions that the Transaction will be completed or completed on certain terms. The Corporation may also experience negative reactions from its customers and employees and there could be negative impact on the Corporation's ability to attract future acquisition opportunities. Failure to complete the Transaction or a change in the terms of the Transaction could each have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Possible Failure to Realize Anticipated Benefits of the Transaction

The ability to realize the benefits of the Transaction will depend in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as on Engine's ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from integrating the GameSquare's business following completion of the Transaction. This integration will require the dedication of management effort, time and resources which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities available to the Resulting Issuer following completion of the Transaction, and from operational matters during this process. The integration process may result in the loss of key employees or directors and the disruption of ongoing business and employee relationships that may adversely affect the ability of the Resulting Issuer to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Transaction as well as any anticipated benefits from possible future acquisitions.

Risks Related to the Businesses of Engine and the Corporation

Each of the businesses of Engine and GameSquare are subject to significant risks. See the risk factors set out in the documents incorporated by reference in Schedules "D" and "E". While each of Engine and the Corporation have completed due diligence investigations, including reviewing, legal, tax accounting, financial and other matters, on the other Party, certain risks either may not have been uncovered or are not known at this time. Such risks may have an adverse impact on the combined assets of Engine and the Corporation following the Transaction and may have a negative impact on the value of the Engine Shares.

The Corporation will incur substantial transaction-related costs in connection with the Transaction

The Corporation expects to incur a number of non-recurring transaction-related costs associated with completing the Transaction which will be incurred whether or not the Transaction is completed. Such costs may offset any expected cost savings and other synergies from the Transaction.

While the Transaction is pending, the Corporation is restricted from taking certain actions

The Arrangement Agreement restricts the Corporation from taking specified actions without the consent of GameSquare until the Transaction is completed which may adversely affect the ability of the Corporation to execute certain business strategies. These restrictions may prevent the Corporation from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Transaction.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are Presented for Illustrative Purposes Only and may not be an Indication of the Resulting Issuer's Financial Condition or Results of Operations Following the Arrangement

The pro forma financial statements contained in this Circular are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Resulting Issuer's financial condition or results of operations following the Transaction for a number of reasons. For example, the pro forma financial statements have been derived from the historical financial statements of Engine and GameSquare and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the Resulting Issuer after giving effect to the Transaction. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these types of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with complete accuracy. Moreover, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect all costs that are expected to be incurred by the Resulting Issuer in connection with the Transaction. For example, the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating Engine and GameSquare is not reflected in the pro forma financial statements. As a result, the actual financial condition and results of operations of the Resulting Issuer following the Transaction may not be consistent with, or evident from, these pro forma financial statements. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Resulting Issuer's financial condition or results of operations following the Transaction. Any potential decline in the Resulting Issuer's financial condition or results of operations may cause a significant decrease in the stock price.

Directors and senior officers of the Corporation may have interests in the Transaction that are different from those of the Shareholders

In considering the recommendation of the Engine Board to vote FOR the Transaction Resolution, Shareholders should be aware that certain directors and certain senior officers of the Corporation have interests in connection with the Transaction that may present them with actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with the Transaction. See "The Transaction - Interests of Certain Persons in the Transaction".

Subject to the qualifications set forth therein, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view to Engine. A written summary of the Fairness Opinion delivered orally is provided below:

December 6, 2022

ENGINE GAMING AND MEDIA INC.

3000 - 77 King St West

P.O. Box 95, TD Centre North Tower

Toronto, ON M5K 1G8

To the Board of Directors:

Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") understands that Engine Gaming and Media Inc. ("Engine") will enter into an Arrangement Agreement (the "Agreement") with GSQ Esports Inc. ("GSQ"'), to effect the arm's length acquisition of GSQ by Engine through a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

As consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of GSQ (the "GSQ Shares"), at the completion of the Arrangement, Engine will issue 0.08262 share of Engine (the "Engine Shares") in exchange for each GSQ Share held (the "Consideration"), such that the holders of Engine Shares ("Engine Shareholders") will retain 40% ownership of the surviving entity and holders of GSQ Shares ("GSQ Shareholders") will retain 60% of the resulting entity on an undiluted basis, as calculated in accordance with the Agreement.

The above description is summary in nature. The specific terms and conditions of, and other matters relating to the Agreement and the Arrangement will be more fully described in a management information circular of Engine (the "Engine Circular"), which will be mailed to Engine Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to certain closing conditions customary for transactions of this nature including, among other things, approval of the Arrangement by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the approval of the Engine Shareholders at a meeting of Engine Shareholders to be called for the purpose of considering the Arrangement (the "Engine Gaming Meeting").

The above description is summary in nature. The specific terms of, and conditions necessary to complete, the Arrangement are set forth in the Agreement and will be described in the Engine Circular to be mailed to the Engine Shareholders in connection with the Engine Gaming Meeting.

-C-2-

The Board of Directors of Engine (the "Board") has retained Haywood to prepare and render an opinion (this "Fairness Opinion") to the Board as to the fairness of the Consideration, from a financial point of view, to Engine. Haywood has not prepared a "formal valuation" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"), of Engine or GSQ or any of their subsidiaries and assets, and this Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such.

Engagement

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 6, 2022 (the "Engagement Agreement"), the Board engaged Haywood to prepare and render an opinion as to the fairness of the Consideration, from a financial point of view, to Engine.

Following its review of the terms of the Arrangement, Haywood rendered its verbal opinion to the Board as to the fairness of the Consideration, from a financial point of view, to Engine, subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence. This Fairness Opinion confirms the verbal opinion rendered by Haywood to the Board on December 6, 2022. The data used for Haywood's analyses in the verbal opinion and in this Fairness Opinion is as of December 5, 2022.

The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that Haywood is to be paid a fixed fee for the delivery of the Fairness Opinion, no portion of which is conditional upon this Fairness Opinion being favorable. The Board acknowledges that Haywood has also provided advisory services as financial advisor to Engine in connection with the Arrangement (the "Advisory Services") in accordance with, an engagement letter dated August 10, 2022, as amended, which engagement entitles Haywood to a fee payable upon completion of the Arrangement or any alternative transaction. Engine has also agreed, in connection with the Engagement Agreement and Advisory Services, to reimburse Haywood for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not the Arrangement is completed, and to indemnify Haywood, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons, against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities which may arise directly or indirectly from services performed by Haywood in connection with its engagement.

Independence of Haywood

Neither Haywood, nor any of its affiliates, is an insider, associate or affiliate of any of GSQ or Engine or any of their respective associates or affiliates (collectively, the "Interested Parties"). Other than in respect of the Advisory Services and Haywood's participation as a 5% syndicate partner for GSQ's July 2021 private placement offering of units at $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $8,500,000, in the past 24-month period, Haywood has not been engaged by any of the Interested Parties to provide financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financings with any of the Interested Parties.

Haywood acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, has and may in the future have positions in the securities of Engine, GSQ or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As of the date of this Fairness Opinion, Haywood's clients and members of its Pro Group (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) hold an aggregate of 373,261 common shares of Engine and 5,704,434 common shares of GSQ. Haywood's clients and members of its Pro Group also hold an aggregate C$250,000 on 5% Convertible Notes maturing on February 28, 2023. Other than in respect of the Advisory Services, there are no understandings, agreements or commitments between Haywood and Engine, GSQ or any other Interested Party, with respect to any future business dealings.

-C-3-

In the ordinary course of trading and brokerage activities, Haywood, the associates and affiliates thereof and the officers, directors and employees of any of them at any time may hold long or short positions, may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for their own account, for managed accounts or for the accounts of customers, in debt or equity securities of Engine, GSQ or related assets or derivative securities. As an investment dealer, Haywood conducts research on companies and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to Engine, GSQ or with respect to the Arrangement.

Credentials of Haywood

Haywood is one of Canada's leading independent investment dealers with operations in corporate finance, equity sales and trading and investment research. Haywood is a participating organization of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange and a member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC") and the Canadian Investor Protection Fund. The opinion expressed herein is the opinion of Haywood, and the individuals primarily responsible for preparing this Fairness Opinion are professionals of Haywood experienced in merger, acquisition, divestiture and fairness opinion matters and have an understanding of the marketable securities involved in the Arrangement. Fairness opinions prepared by Haywood, including this Fairness Opinion, are subject to internal oversight and review before they are issued.

Scope of Review and Approach to Analysis

In connection with rendering this Fairness Opinion, Haywood has reviewed and relied upon, or carried out, among other things, the following:

a) a draft of the Agreement;
b) corporate documents for GSQ as well as documents contained in its data room made available to us;
c) corporate documents for Engine as well as documents contained in its data room made available to us;
d) audited financial statements of GSQ for the years ended December 31, 2021 and November 30 2020 and unaudited financial statements of GSQ for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022;

f) financial forecasts for GSQ provided by Engine, and subsequent discussions with management of Engine regarding these projections;
g) public information relating to the business, financial condition and trading history of Engine and other select public companies Haywood considered relevant;
h) certain historical financial information and operating data concerning GSQ;
i) certain projected financial information for Engine, including without limitation, budgets, financial forecasts and internal operational models, which were prepared and provided by Engine;
j) the financial results of GSQ, comparing them with publicly available financial data concerning certain publicly traded companies that Haywood deemed to be relevant for the purposes of its analysis (sources: Capital IQ);
-C-4-
k) where applicable, comparing the consideration to be paid by GSQ to the value per common share of GSQ implied by analyses of market multiples of comparable companies;
l) certain industry and analyst reports and statistics that Haywood deemed relevant for the purposes of its analysis;
m) certain other internal information prepared by Engine with respect to GSQ and provided to Haywood;
n) meetings with Engine's management to understand relevant aspects of the business and the outlook for the near and mid-future that will impact GSQ;
o) a certificate addressed to Haywood, dated December 6, 2022, from two senior officers of Engine as to the completeness and accuracy of the Information (as defined below);
p) publicly available financial documents on relevant comparable companies in the sector (source: company filings);
q) such other financial, market, technical and industry information, conducting such other investigations, analyses and discussions (including discussions with senior management of Engine) as Haywood considered relevant and appropriate in the circumstances.

In its assessment, Haywood considered several techniques which involved a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, using a blended approach to determine its opinion on the Arrangement.

Haywood has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by GSQ or Engine to any information under its control requested by Haywood. Haywood did not meet with the auditors of Engine or GSQ and has assumed the accuracy and fair presentation of and relied upon the audited financial statements of Engine and GSQ and the reports of the auditors thereon.

Assumptions and Limitations

With the approval and agreement of the Board and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, and subject to the exercise of its professional judgement, Haywood has relied upon and assumed the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all financial information, business plans, financial analyses, forecasts and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations (collectively referred to as the "Information") obtained by Haywood from public sources, or provided to Haywood by GSQ and Engine, their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers, associates, affiliates, consultants, advisors and representatives relating to GSQ, Engine, their respective subsidiaries, associates and affiliates, and to the Arrangement. This Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of the Information. Haywood has not been requested to or, subject to the exercise of professional judgment, attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information and assumes no responsibility or liability in connection therewith. Haywood has not conducted or been provided with any "formal valuation" (within the meaning of MI 61-101) or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor has it evaluated the solvency of GSQ or Engine under any provincial or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Haywood has not had the benefit of reviewing any third party economic assessment on the assets of GSQ or Engine, and expresses no opinion as to the results of any future economic assessment that may be released prior to or following completion of the Arrangement or the market reaction to the results of such economic assessment. The technical due diligence conducted by Haywood was limited in scope and Haywood has relied heavily on the experience and representations of management of Engine and GSQ.

-C-5-

Engine has represented to Haywood in a certificate of two senior officers dated December 6, 2022, among other things, that the Information provided to Haywood, including the written information and discussions concerning Engine and GSQ, as applicable, referred to above under the heading "Scope of Review and Approach to Analysis", is complete and correct in all material respects at the date the Information was provided to Haywood and that, since the date on which the Information was provided to Haywood, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of Engine or any of its affiliates and no material change has occurred in the Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on this Fairness Opinion. Haywood has relied on the representations and warranties of GSQ as set out in the Agreement and assumes that such representations and warranties are complete and correct at the date of this Fairness Opinion and that there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of GSQ or its affiliates which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on this Fairness Opinion.

With respect to any financial analyses, forecasts, projections, estimates and/or budgets provided to Haywood and used in its analysis, Haywood notes that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty. Haywood has assumed, however, that such financial analyses, forecasts, projections, estimates and/or budgets were prepared using the assumptions identified therein and that such assumptions reflect reasonable estimates and judgments by management as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of each of GSQ and Engine. Haywood expresses no view as to such financial analyses, forecasts, projections, estimates and/or budgets or the assumptions on which they were based.

In preparing this Fairness Opinion, Haywood has made several assumptions, including that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are correct as of the date hereof, all of the conditions required to complete the Arrangement will be met, the Arrangement will be completed substantially in accordance with its terms and all applicable laws, and that the disclosure provided in the Circular with respect to GSQ, Engine, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the Arrangement will be accurate in all material respects.

Haywood has relied, as to all legal matters relevant to rendering this Fairness Opinion, upon the advice of its own counsel. Haywood has further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Arrangement will be obtained without any adverse effect on GSQ or Engine or on the contemplated benefits of the Arrangement.

Haywood is not a legal, tax or accounting expert and expresses no opinion concerning any legal, tax or accounting matters concerning the Arrangement or the sufficiency of this letter for your purposes.

This Fairness Opinion is rendered as at the date hereof and on the basis of securities markets, economic and general business and financial conditions prevailing, and the Information as at December 5, 2022 and the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of GSQ or Engine as they are reflected in the Information provided by GSQ and Engine, and as was represented to Haywood in its discussions with the management of Engine, and certain of their respective consultants, advisors and representatives. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this Fairness Opinion and that Haywood does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Fairness Opinion. Haywood is expressing no opinion herein as to the price at which the current shares of Engine will trade at any future time. In Haywood's analysis and in connection with the preparation of this Fairness Opinion, Haywood made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Haywood and any party involved in the Arrangement.

-C-6-

This Fairness Opinion is provided for the use of the Board only and may not be disclosed, referred or communicated to, or relied upon by, any third party without Haywood's prior written approval. Haywood consents to the inclusion of this Fairness Opinion in the Circular. Haywood disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this Fairness Opinion that may come or be brought to the attention of Haywood after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting this Fairness Opinion after the date hereof, Haywood reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw this Fairness Opinion.

Haywood believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying this Fairness Opinion. The preparation of an opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily amenable to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis.

This Fairness Opinion has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Standards for Formal Valuations and Fairness Opinions of IIROC, but IIROC has not been involved in the preparation or review of this Fairness Opinion.

Fairness Conclusion

Based on and subject to the foregoing and such other factors as Haywood considered relevant, Haywood is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to Engine.

Yours truly,

HAYWOOD SECURITIES INC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officers

During the financial year ended August 31, 2022, the following individuals acted as named executive officers (referred to herein as Engine NEOs or Named Executive Officers), as such term is defined in Form 51-102F6:

Louis Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer;
Michael Munoz, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary;
Tom Rogers, Executive Chairman;
Darren Cox, Former co-CEO
Rob Suttie, Former CFO

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The purpose of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis is to provide information about Engine's executive compensation philosophy, objectives, and processes and to discuss compensation decisions relating to the Engine NEOs.

The Compensation Committee, as described in more detail under "Corporate Governance", is responsible for reviewing, establishing, and overseeing the compensation policies of the Corporation and compensation of the Named Executive Officers (as defined below). See "Audit Committee - Relevant Education and Experience", for a summary biography of each member of the Compensation Committee which sets out the relevant experience to the performance of his duties as a member of the Compensation Committee. Based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, the Board as a whole is responsible for determining the compensation paid to the executive officers and directors of the Corporation.

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Lawrence Rutkowski, Rudolph Cline-Thomas, and Gregory Raifman (Chair). Each member of the Compensation Committee has been determined by the Board to be "independent" as such term is defined in NI 52-110.

-D-8-

Objectives of the Compensation Program

Executive compensation has been designed to encourage Management to make decisions and take actions that will result in the improvement of long-term Shareholder value as reflected in the growth in assets and value of the Common Shares. The focus of the Corporation's current compensation policy is to:

strengthen the relationship between compensation and enhancement of Shareholder value by focusing on variable compensation, such as annual performance incentives and ownership of Common Shares, primarily by using options for acquiring Common Shares;
enhance the Corporation's ability to attract, encourage and retain knowledgeable and experienced executives; and
balance the short-term and long-term business goals of the Corporation.

The key components of executive compensation include: (1) base salary; (2) a short-term incentive comprised of cash bonus awards and; (3) long-term incentives comprised primarily of stock option incentives, which are reviewed annually based on job performance as well as corporate performance and external competitive practices.

The Compensation Committee does not set specific performance objectives in assessing the performance of its management. Instead, the Compensation Committee looks at the performance of the Corporation and its management and relies on its experience and judgment in determining the overall compensation package for management. Compensation of management (also referred to as "Named Executive Officers") as detailed in this Circular is not linked to the achievement of target results or improvement in the Common Share price on the markets on which they trade.

Omnibus Plan

Engine has in place the Omnibus Plan which provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with TSXV requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Engine, Awards, provided that the number of Engine Shares reserved for issuance of Options will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Engine Shares at the date of being granted and that all other Awards issued under the Omnibus Plan do not exceed a fixed number of shares up to a maximum of 10% of the listed shares of Engine as of the date of the implementation of the Omnibus Plan. It is a requirement of TSXV policies that issuers who have such "hybrid plans" seek annual shareholder approval. Accordingly, Shareholders will be asked to approve the Corporation's amended and restated Omnibus Plan, including the increase to the number of securities available under the Omnibus Plan as more particularly detailed under the heading "Special Business to be Conducted at the Meeting - Omnibus Plan".

Compensation Of Named Executive Officers

The following table provides a summary of total compensation earned during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 by the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, each of the three other most highly compensated executive officers of the Corporation who were serving as such as at the end of the applicable fiscal year and whose total compensation was, individually, more than C$150,000 (the "Other Executive Officers"), if any, and each other individual who would have been an Other Executive Officer but for the fact that such individual was neither serving as an executive officer, nor acting in a similar capacity, as at the end of the applicable fiscal year, if any, for services rendered in all capacities during such period (hereinafter, collectively, referred to as the "Named Executive Officers" or "NEO"). The Named Executive Officers of the Corporation for the purposes of this Circular are Louis Schwartz (CEO), Michael Munoz (CFO), and Tom Rogers (Executive Chairman).

Notes:

(1) When the Corporation issues stock options, it accounts for them using the fair value method for stock-based compensation as recommended under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The fair value of options is determined by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (which model is commonly used by junior public companies) with assumptions for risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Common Shares and expected life of the options.
(2) Mr. Schwartz was appointed Co-CEO of the Corporation on May 8, 2020, together with Mr. Cox as the other Co-CEO. Previously, Mr. Schwartz served as the CEO of Frankly Inc. On November 3, 2020, Mr. Cox stepped down from his role as Co-CEO and Mr. Schwartz took on the role of CEO of the Corporation.
(3) Mr. Munoz was appointed CFO of the Corporation on May 8, 2020. Previously, he served as CFO of Frankly Inc. from April 2018 to May 8, 2020.
(4) Mr. Cox was appointed Co-CEO of the Corporation on May 8, 2020. Mr. Cox resigned from the role of Co-CEO on November 3, 2020 and from his role as director of the Corporation on December 31, 2020. Previously, he served as CEO of the Corporation from July 17, 2019 until May 8, 2020, and President and Director of the Corporation from April 8, 2019 until July 17, 2019. Prior to that, Mr. Cox served as the Chief Marketing Officer of the Corporation since July 2017.
(5) Effective May 8, 2020, Mr. Suttie resigned from his role as CFO of the Corporation and was replaced by Michael Munoz, who is the Corporation's current CFO.
-D-10-

Outstanding Option-Based Awards

The weight allocated to long-term incentives is based on a consideration of each NEO's anticipated ability to influence the long-term growth and performance of the business, with the objective to strengthen the relationship between compensation and enhancement of Shareholder value. The CEO is considered to have the greatest influence on the long-term performance of the business. Accordingly, in addition to short-term cash compensation, the CEO receives the largest allocation of stock options and/or restricted share units. There is no relationship between the Corporation's historical performance and the number of equity incentive awards granted. No stock appreciation rights, or shares or units subject to restrictions on resale or other incentives have been granted.

The table below reflects all option-based awards and share-based awards for each Named Executive Officer outstanding as at August 31, 2022 (including option-based awards and share-based awards granted to a Named Executive Officer before such fiscal year). The Corporation does not currently have any equity incentive plans other than its Omnibus Plan.

The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to provide the Corporation with a share ownership incentive to attract and motivate qualified directors, officers and employees of and consultants to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and thereby advance the Corporation's interests and contribute toward its long-term goals by affording such persons with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Corporation through the Awards. Awards are made by and are within the discretion of the Corporation's Board and are non-transferable.

Subject to shareholder and Regulatory Approval, the Corporation proposes to approve the amended and restated Omnibus Plan, including the increase to the number of securities available under the Omnibus Plan, at the Meeting (see "Special Business to be Conducted at the Meeting" - Omnibus Plan").

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Other than as disclosed in this Circular (including in the financial statements of the Corporation for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021), no directors, proposed Nominees, executive officers or their respective associates or affiliates, or other management of the Corporation are indebted to the Corporation as of the date hereof or were indebted to the Corporation at any time during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021, and no indebtedness of such individuals to another entity is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Management is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, of any informed person of the Corporation, or any associate or affiliate of any such informed person, in any transaction since the commencement of the Corporation's fiscal years ended August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021, or in any proposed transaction, that has materially affected or would materially affect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

-D-15-

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

None of the Corporation's directors or officers, proposed nominees for election as directors of the Corporation or such persons' associates and affiliates, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting, except as disclosed in this Circular.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

No management functions of Engine are, to any substantial degree, performed other than by directors or senior officers of Engine or its subsidiaries.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders and takes into account the role of the individual members of Management that are appointed by the Board and charged with the day-to-day management of the Corporation. The Canadian Securities Administrators have published National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101"), National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") and National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"). These set out a series of guidelines and requirements for effective corporate governance (collectively, the "Guidelines"). The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees, and the effectiveness and education of board members. NI 58-101 requires reporting issuers to disclose on an annual basis their approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines. Set out below is a description of the Corporation's approach to corporate governance in relation to the Guidelines.

The Board discharges its responsibilities directly and through its committees. Currently, the Board has three committees - the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee (each as defined herein).

Engine Board

The Board is currently composed of six (6) directors: Tom Rogers, Louis Schwartz, Lawrence Rutkowski, Rudolph Cline-Thomas, Stuart Porter, and Gregory Raifman.

NP 58-201 suggests that the Board of every reporting issuer should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors, within the meaning set out under NI 52-110, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the Corporation. "Material relationship" is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Corporation's Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

Except for Louis Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and Tom Rogers, Executive Chairman of the Corporation, all of the current directors are considered "independent," as they are free from a direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation which could reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment as directors. The basis for this determination is that, since the commencement of the Corporation's fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 and up to the date of this Circular, none of the current directors have worked for the Corporation, received remuneration from the Corporation (other than in their capacity as directors) or had material contracts with or material interests in the Corporation which could interfere with their ability to act in the Corporation's best interests, except for Louis Schwartz and Tom Rogers.

The Board believes that it functions independently of management. To enhance its ability to act independently of management, the members of the Board may meet without management and the non-independent directors. In the event of a conflict of interest at a meeting of the Board, the conflicted director will, in accordance with corporate law and his or her fiduciary obligations as a director of the Corporation, disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest to the meeting and abstain from voting on the matter at issue. In addition, the members of the Board that are not members of management are encouraged to obtain advice from external advisors and legal counsel as they may deem necessary in order to reach a conclusion with respect to issues brought before the Board.

-D-16-

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

Each new director is given an outline of the nature of the Corporation's business, its corporate strategy and current issues within the Corporation. New directors are also required to meet with management to discuss and better understand the Corporation's business, and are given the opportunity to meet with counsel to the Corporation to discuss their legal obligations as directors of the Corporation.

In addition, management takes steps to ensure that the directors and officers of the Corporation are continually updated as to the latest corporate and securities policies which may affect the directors, officers and committee members of the Corporation as a whole. The Corporation continually reviews the latest securities rules and policies. Any such changes or new requirements are then brought to the attention of the Corporation's directors either by way of director or committee meetings or by direct communications from management to the directors.

Code of Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation's governing corporate legislation and the common law, and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation. Further, the Corporation's auditor has full and unrestricted access to the Audit Committee (as hereinafter defined) of the Corporation at all times to discuss the audit of the Corporation's financial statements and any related findings as to the integrity of the financial reporting process.

Committees

Engine has three separate standalone committees: the Nomination and Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee.

Assessments

The Corporation's Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management, and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and committees.

Nomination and Governance Committee

The Corporation's nominating and governance committee (the "Nominating and Governance Committee") is currently comprised of Lawrence Rutkowski, Rudolph Cline-Thomas, and Gregory Raifman. Each of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee is "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for seeking out and evaluating suitable candidates to serve on the Board. In so doing, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers: (i) the competencies and skills that the Board considers necessary for the Board as a whole to possess; (ii) the competencies and skills that the Board considers each Nominee to possess; (iii) the competencies and skills that each Nominee will bring to the Board; (iv) the contribution to the Board's composition and diversity that the Nominee will bring, including the Nominee's geographic location, gender, ethnicity and race; and (v) whether or not each Nominee can devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a member of the Board.

Compensation Committee

The Corporation's compensation committee (the "Compensation Committee") is currently comprised of Lawrence Rutkowski, Rudolph Cline-Thomas, and Gregory Raifman (Chair). Each of the members of the Compensation Committee is "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110. Under the Compensation Committee's mandate, the Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things: (a) in consultation with senior management, establishing the Corporation's general compensation philosophy, and overseeing the development and implementation of compensation programs; (b) reviewing and approving the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer; (c) in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, reviewing compensation programs applicable to the senior management of the Corporation; (d) making recommendations to the Board with respect to the Corporation's incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, the activities of the individuals and committees responsible for administering these plans, and discharging any responsibilities imposed on the Compensation Committee by any of these plans; and (e) annually reviewing directors' compensation and recommending any changes to the Board for consideration.

In reviewing the adequacy and forms of compensation of directors, the Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that the compensation reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being a director of the Corporation. In reviewing the adequacy and forms of compensation of officers, the Compensation Committee seeks to align the interests of officers with the best interests of the Corporation. A primary goal of the Compensation Committee is to strengthen the relationship between compensation and enhancing shareholder value.

-D-17-

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Pursuant to applicable laws, the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and NI 52-110, the Corporation is required to have an audit committee comprised of not less than three (3) directors, a majority of whom are not officers, control persons or employees of the Corporation or an affiliate of the Corporation. NI 52-110 requires the Corporation, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in its Circular certain information concerning the constitution of its Audit Committee and its relationship with its independent auditor.

The audit committee of the Corporation (the "Audit Committee") is responsible for the Corporation's financial reporting process and the quality of its financial reporting. In addition to its other duties, the Audit Committee reviews all financial statements, annual and interim, intended for circulation among Shareholders and reports upon these to the Board. In addition, the Board may refer to the Audit Committee other matters and questions relating to the financial position of the Corporation. In performing its duties, the Audit Committee maintains effective working relationships with the Board, management and the external auditors and monitors the independence of those auditors.

Charter

The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the unaudited interim financial statements together with other financial information of the Corporation and for ensuring that Management fulfills its financial reporting responsibilities. The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling this responsibility. The Audit Committee meets with management to review the financial reporting process and the unaudited interim financial statements together with other financial information of the Corporation. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board for its consideration in approving the unaudited interim financial statements together with other financial information of the Corporation for issuance to the Shareholders.

The Audit Committee has the general responsibility to review and make recommendations to the Board on the approval of the Corporation's annual and interim financial statements, the management discussion and analysis and the other financial information or disclosure of the Corporation. More particularly, it has the mandate to:

i. oversee all the aspects pertaining to the process of reporting and divulging financial information, the internal controls and the insurance coverage of the Corporation;
ii. oversee the implementation of the Corporation's rules and policies pertaining to financial information and internal controls and management of financial risks and to ensure that the certifications process of annual and interim financial statements is conformed with the applicable regulations; and
iii. evaluate and supervise the risk control program and review all related party transactions.

The Audit Committee ensures that the external auditors are independent from management. The Audit Committee reviews the work of external auditors, evaluates their performance and remuneration, and makes recommendations to the Board. The Audit Committee also authorizes non-related audit work. A copy of the Charter of the Audit Committee is annexed hereto as Schedule H.

Shareholders are encouraged to obtain independent legal, tax and investment advice in their jurisdiction of residence with respect to this Circular, the consequences of the Transaction and the holding of Engine Shares. In assessing the Transaction, Shareholders should carefully consider the risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Engine AIF and Engine MD&A, which are incorporated by reference herein, together with the other information contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this Circular. Risk factors related to the business of Engine will generally continue to apply following the completion of the Transaction.

In addition to the risk factors identified in the Engine AIF and Engine MD&A, the following U.S. specific risk factors are also applicable:

The Corporation's Foreign Private Issuer status under United States Securities Laws.

The Corporation is a "foreign private issuer", under applicable United States federal securities laws, and is, therefore, not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon United States domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, the Corporation is subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of United States domestic reporting companies. As a result, the Corporation does not file the same reports that a United States domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although the Corporation is required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that it is required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, the Corporation's officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, the Corporation's shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when the Corporation's officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell Common Shares, as the reporting periods under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.

As a foreign private issuer, the Corporation is exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. The Corporation is also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While the Corporation complies with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by United States domestic companies. In addition, the Corporation may not be required under the Exchange Act to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

In order to maintain its status as a foreign private issuer, a majority of the Common Shares must be either directly or indirectly owned by non-residents of the United States unless the Corporation also satisfies one of the additional requirements necessary to preserve this status. The Corporation may in the future lose its foreign private issuer status if a majority of its Common Shares are held in the United States and if the Corporation fails to meet the additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of its foreign private issuer status. The regulatory and compliance costs under United States federal securities laws as a United States domestic issuer may be significantly more than the costs incurred as a Canadian foreign private issuer using the standard foreign form or as Canadian foreign private issuer eligible to use the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in United States and Canada ("MJDS"). If the Corporation is not a foreign private issuer, it would not be eligible to use the MJDS or other foreign issuer forms and would be required to file periodic and current reports and registration statements on United States domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer.

The Corporation is an emerging growth company and relies on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements which may make its Common Shares less attractive to investors.

The Corporation is an "emerging growth company" as defined in section 3(a) of the Exchange Act (as amended by the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012), and the Corporation will continue to qualify as an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which the Corporation has total annual gross revenues of US$1,235,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC) or more; (b) the last day of the fiscal year of the Corporation following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the Corporation pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, as amended; (c) the date on which the Corporation has, during the previous three year period, issued more than US$1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; and (d) the date on which the Corporation is deemed to be a "large accelerated filer", as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. The Corporation will qualify as a large accelerated filer (and would cease to be an emerging growth company) at such time when on the last business day of its second fiscal quarter of such year the aggregate worldwide market value of its common equity held by non-affiliates will be US$700,000,000 or more.

For so long as the Corporation remains an emerging growth company, it is permitted to and intends to rely upon exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of SOX. The Corporation cannot predict whether investors will find its Common Shares less attractive because the Corporation relies upon certain of these exemptions. If some investors find the Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Common Shares and the Common Share price may be more volatile. On the other hand, if the Corporation no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, the Corporation would be required to divert additional management time and attention from the Corporation's development and other business activities and incur increased legal and financial costs to comply with the additional associated reporting requirements, which could negatively impact the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our securities.

On June 23, 2022, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our Common Shares for the 30 consecutive business day period prior to June 23, 2022, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 20, 2022 (the "Compliance Period"), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). On December 21, 2022, we received a 180 calendar day extension to the initial Compliance Period.

In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, our Common Shares must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event we do not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If we meet these requirements, we may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that we will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, Nasdaq will provide notice that our Common Shares will be subject to delisting.

If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as minimum bid price requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our Common Shares. Such a delisting would have a negative effect on the price of our Common Shares, impair the ability to sell or purchase our Common Shares when persons wish to do so, and any delisting materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital or pursue strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transactions on acceptable terms, or at all. Delisting from Nasdaq could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities, as well as a limited amount of news and analyst coverage of us. In the event of a delisting, we would attempt to take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, prevent our Common Shares from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements.

On January 19, 2023, a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC informed the Corporation that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

A description of the business of GameSquare is described under the heading "- Information on the Company" of the Form 20-F, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Three-Year History

A description of how the business of GameSquare developed over the three most recently completed financial years and the current financial year is described under the headings "History of GameSquare Inc." and "Recent Development" in the Form 20-F, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Description of Securities

GameSquare's authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of PV Shares. As of the Record Date, there were outstanding 295,119,320 Common Shares and 150,000 PV Shares.

Each Common Share is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into one-hundredth (0.01) of a PV Share and each PV Share is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such PV Share, into one hundred (100) Common Shares.

Holders of Common Shares and PV Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of GameSquare, except those meetings at which holders of another particular class or series of shares of GameSquare are entitled to vote separately as a class or series under applicable law. The Common Shares carry one vote per Common Share and the PV Shares carry one hundred (100) votes per PV Share.

Holders of Common Shares and PV Shares are entitled to dividends if, as and when dividends are declared by the Board, with each PV Share being entitled to one hundred (100) times the amount of the dividend declared per Common Share (or if a stock dividend is declared on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares only if the Board simultaneously declares a stock dividend in: (A) PV Shares on the PV Shares, in a number of shares per PV Share (or fraction thereof) equal to the number of shares declared per Common Share (or fraction thereof); or (B) Common Shares on the PV Shares, in a number of shares per PV Share (or fraction thereof), multiplied by one hundred (100), and fractional PV Shares are entitled to the application thereof, and otherwise without preference or distinction among or between the shares).

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of GameSquare, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of GameSquare among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Common Shares and PV Shares are, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of GameSquare ranking in priority to the Common Shares and the PV Shares, entitled to participate rateably along with the holders of the Common Shares and the PV Shares, with each PV Share being entitled to one hundred (100) times the amount distributed per Common Share and fractional PV Shares being entitled to the applicable fraction thereof, and otherwise without preference or distinction among or between the Common Shares and PV Shares.

No subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares or PV Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the shares of the other class are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner and on the same basis, so as to preserve the relative rights of the holders of each such class of shares.

Each PV Share shall automatically convert, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into Common Shares on the basis of one hundred (100) Shares for one (1) PV Share if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the best interests of GameSquare to retain PV Shares.

The Common Shares and the PV Shares do not have pre-emptive rights or exchange rights and are not subject to redemption, retraction, purchase for cancellation or surrender provisions. There are no sinking or purchase fund provisions, no provisions permitting or restricting the issuance of additional securities, and there are no provisions which are capable of requiring a Securityholder to contribute additional capital.

As set out above, there is no disproportionality between the Common Shares on the one hand, and the PV Shares, on the other hand, because each share of each such class has voting power equal to its economic interest and dividend and liquidation entitlement.

GameSquare has adopted the Option Plan and the RSU Plan in accordance with the policies of the CSE which provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with CSE requirements, grant Options and RSUs, as applicable.

A description of the Warrants can be found in the Form 20-F and in GameSquare's most recent interim and annual management's discussion and analysis, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

The directors and executive officers and other related parties of GameSquare may have interests in the Arrangement that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of other Shareholders.

The Arrangement Agreement also provides that GameSquare may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase prepaid non-cancellable run-off directors' and officers' liability insurance providing coverage for a period of six years from the Effective Date with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occur on or prior to the Effective Date.

The Transaction will create an end-to-end platform with reach across esports, sports, influencer, publisher, and advertising networks for brands to connect with youth culture audiences. The Resulting Issuer will provide global brands and advertisers with solutions that develop innovative strategies to connect to youth audiences.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE RESULTING ISSUER

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Resulting Issuer (consolidated to give effect to, among other things, the Transaction on the Effective Date), consist of the following: income statements for 9 months ended September 30, 2022, and 13 months ended December 31, 2021; and a balance sheet as at September 30, 2022. These Pro Forma Financial Statements are attached as Schedule G to this Circular.

As the ending date of the fiscal period for GameSquare and Engine differs by more than 93 days, the unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021 was derived by combining financial information from the audited consolidated statement of GameSquare for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021 with financial information of Engine for the year November 30, 2021 which was constructed from the year ended August 31, 2021, less the three month period ended November 30, 2020, plus the three month period ended November 30, 2021. Similarly, the unaudited pro forma statement of income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was derived by combining financial information from the unaudited statement of income (loss) of GameSquare for the nine-months ended September 30, 2022 with financial information of Engine for the nine-months ended November 30, 2022, composed of the year ended August 31, 2022 less the six month period ended February 28, 2022, plus the three month period ended November 30, 2022, to present the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been compiled from underlying financial statements of GameSquare and Engine and prepared in accordance with IFRS to illustrate the effect of, among other things, the Transaction. The Pro Forma Financial Statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Adjustments have been made to prepare the Pro Forma Financial Statements, which adjustments are based on certain assumptions. Both the adjustments and the assumptions made are described in the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of: (i) the operating or financial results that would have occurred had the Transaction actually occurred at the times contemplated by the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements; or (ii) the results expected in future periods.

ESTIMATED AVAILABLE FUNDS AND PRINCIPAL PURPOSES

As at December 31, 2022, Engine had estimated working capital of $2 million and GameSquare had estimated working capital of $6 million. The Resulting Issuer will have approximately $5 million available upon completion of the Transaction.

GameSquare and Engine have historically had negative cash flow from operating activities and have historically incurred net losses but, based on current operations, the Resulting Issuer expects to meet its cash needs for the twelve-month period following the date hereof. To the extent that the Resulting Issuer has negative operating cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flows or raise additional funds through the issuance of additional equity securities, through loan financing, or other means. There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that these financings will be on terms at least as favourable to the Resulting Issuer as those previously obtained, or at all. See "Risk Factors - Negative operating cash flow".

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Other than as described elsewhere in this Information Circular, none of the Persons who are proposed to be directors, employees or executive officers of the Resulting Issuer following the completion of the Transaction, and none of the associates of such Persons is or has been indebted to either Engine or GameSquare at any time during the most recently completed financial year of each of Engine and GameSquare, respectively, or will be indebted to the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction.

In addition to the risk factors with respect to the Transaction set out under "Risk Factors Relating to the Transaction" in the accompanying Information Circular, see "Additional Information Concerning Engine - Risk Factors" in Schedule D and "Information Concerning GameSquare - Risk Factors" in Schedule E, with respect to the risk factors of Engine and GameSquare, respectively.

Negative operating cash flow

Each of GameSquare nor Engine have historically had negative cash flow from operating activities. It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will continue to have negative cash flows in the foreseeable future. Continued losses may have the following consequences:

increasing the Resulting Issuer's vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
limiting the Resulting Issuer's ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, operating costs and other general corporate requirements; and,
limiting the Resulting Issuer's flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry.

The registered head office of the Company is 77 King St. West, Suite 3000, PO Box 95, TD Centre - North Tower, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1G8, Canada.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of GameSquare have been prepared by the management for illustrative purposes only, give effect to Engine's proposed acquisition of GameSquare, and assume that GameSquare is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared assuming the transaction had occurred on September 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of loss for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, has been prepared assuming the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022, respectively.

-G-6-

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled from and include:

a) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2022 combining the unaudited statement of financial position of GameSquare as of September 30, 2022 and the unaudited statement of financial position of Engine as of November 30, 2022;
b) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income (loss) for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021 combining the unaudited statement of income (loss) of GameSquare for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021 and the unaudited statement of income (loss) of Engine for the year ended November 30, 2021, composed of the year ended August 31, 2021, less the three month period ended November 30, 2020, plus the three month period ended November 30, 2021; combining the statements of income (loss) of each company to present the 13 months ended December 31, 2021; and
c) An unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 combining the unaudited statement of income (loss) of GameSquare for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the unaudited statement of income (loss) of Engine for nine months ended November 30, 2022, composed of the year ended August 31, 2022, less the six month period ended February 28, 2022, plus the 3 month period ended November 30, 2022; combining the statements of income (loss) of each company to present the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

It is management's opinion that these pro forma consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the transactions described herein and are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applied on a basis consistent with the Company's accounting policies. These pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of the Company that would have actually resulted had the transactions been effected on the dates indicated above. Furthermore, the pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the transactions will differ from those recorded in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the differences may be material. Under acquisition accounting, the measurement of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities of Engine is dependent on valuations that have not been performed. Accordingly, differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may be material.

Accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma statements are consistent with those used in the audited consolidated financial statements of GameSquare for the 13 month period ended December 31, 2022, with the exception of the following new accounting standards and change in presentation currency as follows.

On January 1, 2022, the Company elected to change its presentation currency from Canadian dollars ("CAD") to United States dollars ("U.S. dollars" or "USD"). The change in presentation currency is to better reflect the Company's business activities and to improve investors' ability to compare the Company's financial results with other publicly traded businesses in similar industries. The Company applied the change to U.S. dollar presentation currency retrospectively and restated the comparative financial information as if U.S. dollars had always been the Company's presentation currency. The statement of income (loss) of GameSquare for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021 has not been audited in the U.S. dollar presentation currency used to prepare the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income (loss) for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of GameSquare for the 13 months ended December 31, 2021 and of Engine for the year ended August 31, 2022; the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of GameSquare for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and of Engine for the three months ended November 30, 2022, and the notes included therein, of GameSquare and Engine.

All other material terms of the restricted share units will remain the same.

While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and in accordance with applicable accounting principles and standards and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibility of management and the external auditors.
