SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT

VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF THE ENTIRE EQUITY INTERESTS OF

CLUB SERVICES, INC.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 19 January 2021 (the ''Announcement'') and the circular of the Company dated 10 March 2021 (the ''Circular'') for a very substantial disposal of the Company in relation to the proposed disposal of the entire equity interests of Club Services, Inc. Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as those defined in the Announcement and the Circular unless otherwise defined.

THE AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The Company announced the Disposal on 19 January 2021, dispatched the Circular on 10 March 2021 and gave a notice to the Shareholders for the EGM to be convened on 29 March 2021 for the purpose of considering and approving, among the other things, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

On 3 March 2021 (U.S. time), AESE received a proposal (the ''Bally's Proposal'') from Bally's Corporation (''Bally Corp'') to purchase AESE's equity interests for US$100 million, payable, at AESE's option, in cash, Bally Corp's capital stock, or a combination of both. Under the Bally's Proposal, Bally Corp would pay the break-up fee owed to the Purchaser upon the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement, and further stated that Bally Corp would pay a US$10 million reverse break-fee if the Bally's Proposal is not completed due to a failure on the part of Bally Corp. The only conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by the Bally's Proposal would be the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement and other customary closing conditions. The terms of the agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Bally's Proposal would be substantially the same as the Stock Purchase Agreement, revised only to the extent necessary to accommodate the specificaspects of the Bally's Proposal. However, since the subject matter of the Bally's Proposal is on the entire equity interests of AESE and not just the Target Group, AESE did not accept the Bally's Proposal.

On 15 March 2021, AESE, in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, determined that a revised proposal received from Bally Corp constitutes a ''superior proposal'' under the Stock Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the revised proposal of Bally Corp, Bally Corp would acquire only the Target Group, for a consideration totalling US$90,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$697.69 million) in cash at the closing. AESE notified the Purchaser that it received a ''superior proposal'' and that unless prior to 5 pm, 19 March 2021 (U.S. time), AESE and the Purchaser negotiated an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement such that the revised proposal of Bally Corp no longer constituted a ''superior proposal'', AESE intended to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement.

On 19 March 2021 (U.S. time), the Vendor, the Target Company, AESE and the Purchaser entered into an amended and restated stock purchase agreement (the ''Amended Stock Purchase Agreement'' ) to amend certain terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement to proceed with the Disposal.

A summary of amendments to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement are set out below:

  • . ''Company Indebtedness'' means as of the date of Closing, an amount equal to the sum of all outstanding guaranties and indebtedness for borrowed money owed to third parties (whether short- or long-term, whether or not due and payable, to the extent they are owed or guaranteed by the Target Group), including all unfunded severance payment obligations, bank debt and notes, and all fees expenses or termination payments, or accumulated interest in connection therewith but excluding any outstanding principal, accrued interest and other amounts payable under the PPP Loan.

  • . ''PPP Loan'' means an unsecure loan in the original principal amount of US$685,300 (equivalent to approximately HK$5.31 million) taken by WPT Enterprises, Inc. on 18 May 2020 under the US federal government's Paycheck Protection Program for a period of two years at an interest rate of 1% per annum.

The exclusion of the PPP Loan from the definition of ''Company Indebtedness'' is removed as it has been fully forgiven prior to the execution of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement.

.

As a result of the abovementioned amendments, the following disclosures in the Circular are hereby updated and supplemented to reflect the amendments set out above:

(a) Consideration and payment terms

The paragraph headed ''Consideration and payment terms'' on pages 11-12 of the Circular shall be amended as:

''The Consideration payable by the Purchaser under the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement is US$90.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$701.57 million), which will be paid in cash in the following manner:

(i) a payment of US$10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$77.52 million) (the ''Initial

Payment''), of which US$4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$31.01 million) was paid upon the parties' execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement and US$6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$46.51 million) is payable as soon as practicable after the execution of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and no later than 24 March 2021 (U.S. time); and

(ii) a payment of US$80.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$624.05 million) payable upon the Closing (the ''Closing Cash Payment'' and together with the Initial Payment, the ''Unadjusted Purchase Price'').

The total consideration shall be the Unadjusted Purchase Price, plus the Company Cash (if any), minus any transaction expenses incurred by on or behalf of the Target Group remaining unpaid at Closing, minus any Company Indebtedness remaining unpaid at Closing, and minus a good faith estimate of pre-Closing taxes (the ''Total Consideration''). The Company Indebtedness refers to debt at the AESE Level. However, the assets of the Target Group are subject to liens that secure such indebtedness, and as a result, such indebtedness must be satisfied from the Consideration. The Company Cash refers to the cash of the Target Group.''

Upon the determination of the Total Consideration, the total closing payment shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Total Consideration minus the Initial Payment.
