On February 11, 2014, the Company (formerly Aumento Capital II Corporation) completed its acquisition of Goldstar Acquistionco Inc. ("Goldstar") through an amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") between Goldstar and 2399274 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to form an amalgamated company named "Intertain Holdings Inc.", which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation constituted the Company's Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV")). The TSXV approved the Qualifying Transaction of the Company and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") approved the listing of the common shares of the Company, which commenced trading on the TSX under the symbol "IT" on February 18, 2014, at which time the Company's common shares were delisted from the TSXV.

Prior to closing of the Qualifying Transaction, Goldstar completed a private placement of 11,625,000 unit subscription receipts and 17,500 convertible debenture subscription receipts for net proceeds of approximately $61 million.

On February 11, 2014, contemporaneous with completion of the Amalgamation, Goldstar acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of WagerLogic Malta Holding Ltd, the parent Company of CryptoLogic Operations Limited ("CryptoLogic") which operates an online casino under the brand "InterCasino", from a subsidiary of Amaya Gaming Group Inc. ("Amaya"). Goldstar completed the transaction at a purchase price of $70 million, less working capital adjustments, which consisted of a cash payment of $60 million and the issuance of a $10 million vendor take-back in the form of a promissory note.

"The results to date are in line with expectations given our recent acquisition of InterCasino and the initial stages of our growth strategy. In the months ahead we look forward to taking the next steps on our roadmap for long term growth and profitability," said Stan Dunford, Chairman of Intertain.

"We are currently executing on our deliverables in order to position the "Inter" brands for long term shareholder value. I am happy that our going public transaction is behind us and we can focus now on the execution of our strategy," said John FitzGerald, CEO of Intertain.
