The deal has been struck with Lind Global Fund II LP, which is an investment entity managed by the New York-based institutional fund manager The Lind Partners.

Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Bragg Gaming Group is a leading provider and aggregator of iGaming content to the gambling industry. The company was incepted in 2018, and since then it has managed to expand into numerous regulated markets in Europe, North and Latin America, and deliver premium content from its in-house studios such as ORYX Gaming or Wild Streak Gaming.

According to the agreement, the funding to the Canadian gaming leader from Lind Global Fund II LP will arrive in the form of an US$8.7 million convertible security.

Also, the face value of the convertible security will have a 24-month maturity date and it can be repaid in cash or by converting it into common shares of the company. This will have a conversion rate price equal to 87.5% of the five-day volume weighted average price also known as VWAP, which will be determined immediately prior to each conversion.
