  • Closing is expected in June 2026, subject to customary conditions including regulatory approval under gaming laws and funding by the acquirer.
  • Pure Casino Entertainment is the operating entity of Indigenous Gaming Partners Inc., a partnership of five institutional First Nations and Sonco Gaming.
  • Risks remain limited to regulatory approval and Pure's ability to fund the cash consideration; a $12M reverse termination fee applies if the deal fails to close.
