Sponsored by Businesswire

TV Azteca, a Grupo Salinas company and the top sports television network
in Mexico, and Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: BRAC), a public
acquisition vehicle, today announced that they have entered into a term
sheet which would provide for TV Azteca to become a shareholder of
Allied Esports, a global esports entertainment company, through an
equity investment in Black Ridge Acquisition Corp..

As previously announced, Allied Esports and its sister company, the
World Poker Tour®, both currently owned by Ourgame International
Holdings Limited, will be acquired, once all applicable shareholder and
regulatory consents have been obtained, by Black Ridge Acquisition Corp.
to form Allied Esports Entertainment (the “Business Combination”).

Highlights from the term sheet include:

  • TV Azteca acquiring $5 million in shares of Black Ridge Acquisition
    Corp.;
  • TV Azteca and Allied Esports creating a 24-hour digital esports
    channel dedicated to esports and video gaming for the Mexican market;
  • TV Azteca and Allied Esports developing a network of esports talent
    across Mexico and Latin America.
  • TV Azteca and Allied Esports building a flagship esports venue and
    additional esports and content facilities in the Mexican market;
  • TV Azteca and Allied Esports producing and distributing co-branded
    esports programming in the market; and
  • Allied Esports developing a localized online esports tournament
    platform for the market.

The obligations of the parties to move forward with the transactions
contemplated by the term sheet are subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, including but not limited to TV Azteca completing
due diligence by June 27, 2019, the execution of definitive agreements
between the parties documenting the obligations of TV Azteca to purchase
the shares of Black Ridge and consummation of the Business Combination.

The relationship is expected to establish Allied Esports’ emergence in
the Mexican market with a multiplatform approach designed to reach
current esports fans and new consumers through TV Azteca’s extensive
network.

“Continuing to expand our footprint around the world with likeminded
leaders and innovators is imperative to our success, and we are
delighted to partner with TV Azteca as we enter Latin America with a
smart, aggressive plan,” said Frank Ng, co-CEO of Ourgame, owner of
Allied Esports. “The Mexican and Latin American market presents
incredible potential, and this partnership, featuring two first-movers
in esports, entertainment and distribution, is a winning combination.”

In commenting on the new partnership, Benjamin Salinas, CEO of TV
Azteca, added, “We are enthusiastic about our investment in Allied
Esports and the prospect of joining forces to become the clear leader in
the delivery of esports entertainment in the region. This relationship
represents a transformational step for TV Azteca and for the millions of
members of the esports community in Latin America.”

TV Azteca and Allied Esports will work towards developing Mexico’s first
24-hour digital channel dedicated to esports and video game culture. The
companies intend to also work together to create and build a network of
esports talent, with expertise across all game genres and titles and
with experience in additional forms of entertainment.

The parties intend to collaborate on the design and buildout of a
dedicated esports venue, with a concept similar to HyperX Esports Arena
Las Vegas, that will be designated as a flagship arena for their growing
esports footprint in Mexico. The companies also expect to develop
additional regional properties for events and content production. The
co-branded flagship and regional venues would join the Allied Esports
Property Network, the first global affiliate program launched by Allied
Esports in 2018.

TV Azteca and Allied Esports also intend to continue to expand their
co-produced esports experiences, content and distribution partnership
that was previously announced in May 2019 with the launch of the
original series NATION VS NATION. The live event and stream,
which took place at Foro Totalplay in Mexico City on May 14 and was
Allied Esports’ first event and broadcast production in Latin America,
featured 40 competitors in a USA vs. Mexico format playing
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS. The event broadcast in Mexico reached
over 2 million consumers in the market.

“Following an exceptional test case with NATION VS NATION, we are
confident in our combined ability to truly launch esports in Mexico and
Latin America at the highest level,” said Rodolfo Ramírez, head of TV
Azteca Sports. “We are committed to the success and growth of this
partnership, and believe this endeavor has the opportunity to be our
most popular entertainment platform yet.”

Allied Esports intends to also work with TV Azteca to create a localized
version of its proprietary global online esports platform, which was
announced in December 2018 and is currently under development. The
platform will focus on offering online products, including
subscriptions, matching services, educational experiences and games.

Following a strategic agreement with Allied Esports’ sister company, the
World Poker Tour, which was signed in March 2019, social gaming and the
mass broadcast of WPT poker content will begin this summer on TV Azteca
platforms. The multiyear agreement will also bring WPT’s poker content
library, premier poker events and exclusive products and merchandise to
the Latin America audience, which will be promoted via TV Azteca’s
multimedia network and other Grupo Salinas companies.

Purchase Details

Assuming TV Azteca completes due diligence to its reasonable
satisfaction by June 27, 2019 and the parties execute a definitive
agreement for the transaction, TV Azteca would purchase $5 million of
shares of Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. in the open market at or below
the price at which Black Ridge shareholders can have their shares
converted for a pro rata portion of the Black Ridge trust account upon
closing of the Business Combination. TV Azteca has agreed not to seek
conversion of any shares it purchases pursuant to this investment at the
meeting called to approve the Business Combination. In consideration of
the purchase commitment, Black Ridge would issue to TV Azteca on closing
of the Business Combination one additional share of Black Ridge common
stock for every ten (10) shares that are purchased pursuant to the
purchase commitment and a warrant to purchase one (1) share of Black
Ridge common stock for every two (2) shares purchased pursuant to the
purchase commitment. For additional information on the transaction, see
Black Ridge’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed promptly
and which can be obtained, without charge, on the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s website (http://www.sec.gov).
