LAS VEGAS, JULY 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Galaxy Gaming, Inc.® (OTC: GLXZ), the world’s leading independent developer and distributor of casino table games and technology announced today that, as previously announced, Galaxy Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Galaxy”), Evolution Malta Holding Limited, a company registered in Malta (“Evolution”), and Galaga Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Evolution, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Galaxy, with Galaxy surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Evolution (the “Merger”).
As previously reported, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Merger has not been consummated by satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions on or before July 17, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), either Galaxy or Evolution may terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to certain limitations. As has been widely reported, two remaining gaming regulatory approvals required for the closing of the Merger have not been obtained as of the Outside Date, and Evolution has not waived those conditions.
Neither party has terminated the Merger Agreement and Galaxy is evaluating its options, including seeking a further extension of the Outside Date to facilitate the closing of the Merger, or terminating the Merger Agreement.
“For two years, we have been working with Evolution towards a closing of the Merger Agreement,” said Matt Reback, President and CEO of Galaxy. “During this same time, we have also been focused on growing Galaxy by increasing the range of our table games products, expanding into new markets, deepening partnerships with new and existing customers, increasing the share of our recurring revenues, and assembling a team of the highest caliber individuals possible. We are excited about the trajectory of the company, and we look forward to a continued relationship with Evolution.”
