The Board of Directors Urges Shareholders to Vote by October 31, 2025 at 11:59 p.m., Central Time on Proxy Proposals
ISS Recommends Shareholders Vote “FOR” on all Proposals
FRISCO, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (“GameSquare” or the “Company”) announced that it has rescheduled its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) until November 4, 2025. The Annual Meeting was adjourned to provide shareholders with additional time to vote.
Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), an industry leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that GameSquare’s shareholders vote “FOR” the Company’s four proposals, including approval of the merger agreement with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of restating the Certificate of Incorporation to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares, eliminate supermajority voting requirements to amend the Certificate of Incorporation, declassify the Board of Directors, and implement other non-material specified changes.
Insiders and major shareholders, including the Jones and Goff families, members of management and board, Ryan Zurrer and Robert Leshner, have all voted in favor of the Company’s proposals, demonstrating their continued confidence in the Company’s strategy and long-term potential.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARES YOU HOLD.

“We’ve received strong support from many of our shareholders, as well as ISS, widely recognized as the industry’s leading independent proxy advisory firm. This underscores the strong merit of our proposals and the value they bring to shareholders,” said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare.
“A number of shareholders have already voted in favor of GameSquare’s proposals, but we need more shareholders to vote. The proposals are designed to position GameSquare for continued growth and value creation as we execute our vision for the future. Every vote matters, and I encourage all shareholders to take a few minutes to vote their shares today and make their voice heard,” Kenna concluded.
Shareholders of record as of September 5, 2025, are advised to vote their shares well in advance of the proxy voting deadline of 11:59 p.m. CT, on October 31, 2025. The proposals are included in the definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 8, 2025.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR ALL DIRECTOR NOMINEES AND PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS.
Key Proxy Proposal: Technical Statutory Merger
The primary proposal this year is the approval of a statutory merger with a wholly owned subsidiary. GameSquare will remain the surviving entity. This is a technical reorganization only and not a new merger or acquisition. The purpose of the merger is to adopt a restated set of articles of incorporation.
Approval of this proposal will allow GameSquare to:
-
Modernize and simplify its governing documents
-
Provide flexibility to support future growth and capital markets initiatives
-
Align its governance framework with current best practices
Other Proxy Proposals
In addition to the statutory merger, shareholders are being asked to consider:
-
Election of Directors with the expertise to provide strong oversight and leadership
-
Ratification of Independent Auditors to reinforce confidence in GameSquare’s financial reporting
-
Equity and Governance Matters that support attracting and retaining talent, aligning management incentives with shareholders, and strengthening corporate governance
Your Vote Matters
Every shareholder’s vote is important, regardless of the number of shares owned. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote as soon as possible online, by telephone, or by mailing their proxy card, as outlined in the proxy materials.
