MGT Sports

MGT Sports operates DraftDay.com (Note 4), the daily fantasy sports industry’s third largest daily fantasy sports wagering site, based upon player activity, contest sizes and similar metrics. The website offers players the opportunity to participate in real money daily fantasy gameplay for the NFL, MLB, NCAA (basketball & football), NHL, NBA and professional golf. Players select a roster of athletes across most popular sports, and winnings are determined by the same–day performance of these rosters. Daily fantasy sports compress the timeframe of traditional fantasy sports from multi–month seasons into 24–hour periods. DraftDay is a leader in the popular quick–pick style of skill–based fantasy sports gaming. In addition, the Company has launched an online portal for fantasy sports news and commentary, FantasySportsLive.com (Note 4).

On December 30, 2014, the Company announced an exclusive partnership with Vivid Entertainment, LLC to develop a fantasy sports gaming site which is available online at VividBetSports.com.

On September 30, 2006, the United States Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (“UIGEA”). The criminal provisions of UIGEA provide that no person engaged in the business of betting or wagering may knowingly accept directly or indirectly virtually any type of payment from a player in unlawful internet gambling (i.e. bets that are unlawful under other state or Federal laws). The Company has been advised by counsel that the fantasy sports are exempt from the definition of unlawful internet gambling provided that:

They are not based on the current membership of an actual sports team or on the score, point spread or performance of teams;

All prizes and awards are established and made known before the start of the contest;

Winning outcomes are based on the skill of the participants and predominately by accumulated statistics of individual performances of athletes, but not solely on a single performance of an athlete.

MGT Gaming

MGT Gaming owns U.S. Patents 7,892,088 and 8,550,554 (the “‘088 and ‘554 patents,” respectively), both entitled "Gaming Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing Event” and both relating to casino gaming systems in which a second game played on an interactive sign is triggered once specific events occur in a first game. On November 2, 2012, MGT Gaming filed a lawsuit (No. 3:12–cv–741) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi alleging patent infringement against certain companies which either manufacture, sell or lease gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's patent rights, or operate casinos that offer gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's ‘088 patent, including WMS Gaming, Inc. – a subsidiary of Scientific Games, Inc. (“WMS”)(NASDAQ: SGMS), Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn”) (NASDAQ GS: PENN), and Aruze Gaming America, Inc. (“Aruze America”). An amended complaint added the '554 patent, a continuation of the ‘088 patent. The allegedly infringing products include at least those identified under the trade names: "Amazon Fishing" and "Paradise Fishing."

On October 23, 2013 the U.S. District Court severed the originally filed action into three separate actions: The Defendants in all three actions filed counterclaims denying infringement and asserting invalidity of both patents–in–suit. MGT Gaming filed appropriate responses, reasserting the validity and infringement of the ‘088 and ‘554 patents.

On November 4, 2013, WMS filed a Petition for Inter Parties Review ("IPR") with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"), challenging the’088 patent–in–suit. On April 30, 2014 the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) instituted the IPR, allowing the IPR to proceed on all claims in suit. The IPR proceeding has subsequently been dismissed by agreement between WMS and MGT Gaming as part of a settlement of all claims between WMS and MGT, including a dismissal of MGT’s court action against WMS.

Aruze Macau, a sister company of Aruze, Aruze America, subsequently filed its own IPR Petition seeking review of the ‘088 patent based on the same prior art cited by WMS in its IPR. Aruze America also filed a Request for Ex Parte Reexamination of that patent and a Petition for IPR of the ‘554 patent, both based on different prior art. Aruze America’s Reexamination Request has been denied by the PTO. Its Petition for IPR remains pending, with MGT’s Preliminary Response due on March 16, 2015.

MGT sought dismissal of Aruze Macau’s IPR Petition based on the grounds that Aruze America, not Aruze Macau, was the real party in interest and/or was in privity with Aruze Macau, and that the Aruze entities delayed more than 12 months after the filing of MGT’s infringement action against Aruze America based on the ‘088 patent and are therefore barred from filing an IPR against that patent. On February 20, 2015, the PTAB denied MGT’s request for dismissal of the Aruze Macau IPR Petition, but granted MGT the right to conduct further discovery on the real party in interest, privity and one year bar issues that it had raised in its dismissal request. MGT is pursuing such discovery and will reassert the one–year bar as well as addressing Aruze Macau’s arguments on the merits. The PTAB held an initial conference call in that proceeding on March 16, 2015, the same day that MGT’s Preliminary Response to Aruze America’s concurrent IPR Petition directed to the ‘554 patent was filed. MGT is seeking denial of that latter Petition on the grounds that Aruze America has not made out a prima facie case of either anticipation or obviousness based on the prior art asserted in that proceeding.

By motions filed on May 12, 2014, Aruze sought a transfer of the Mississippi infringement action to Nevada as well as a stay pending resolution of IPR proceedings before the PTAB. Only the latter motion has been granted and the Mississippi action remains stayed at present.

MGT Studios

MGT Studios is publisher of social games and real money games of skill.

On November 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Avcom Agreement”) with MGT Capital Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Avcom, Inc. and the stockholders and option holders of Avcom, Inc. (“Avcom”). Pursuant to the Avcom Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Avcom (Note 4).

Avcom is a game development studio producing free to play mobile and social casino–style games. Avcom’s assets include physical and intellectual property associated with Mobilevegas and freeawesome.com, as well as a game under development titled “SlotChamp”. Prior to entering into the Avcom Agreement, Avcom had performed certain game development consulting services for the Company for which Avcom received an aggregate of $146 as consideration for such services in 2013.

On December 4, 2013, the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with M2P Entertainment GmbH, a German corporation (“M2P”), the newly formed Delaware corporation, M2P Americas, Inc. (“M2P Americas”) and the Company’s existing subsidiary MGT Studios. The purpose of the transaction is to allow M2P Americas to market and exploit MP2’s gaming technology in North and South America through M2P Americas. As part of the transaction, the Company acquired 50.1% of M2P Americas and M2P acquired 49.9%. The Strategic Alliance Agreement provides that the Company and M2P will jointly cooperate to launch M2P’s gaming technology in North and South America. It further provides M2P Americas with an exclusive royalty free license to M2P’s gaming technology for North and South America.

Pursuant to the terms of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, the Company will advance certain expenses to M2P Americas and the Company and M2P will provide network and human resources support to M2P Americas. The parties also entered into a Stockholders Agreement dated the same date which, among other things, grants M2P an option to purchase 10% of the Company’s ownership in M2P Americas at book value if the Company does not purchase equity in M2P prior to April 2, 2014. This agreement was subsequently amended to extend the purchase date to May 31, 2014.

On May 31, 2014, M2P exercised its option to purchase 10% of the outstanding equity interests of M2P Americas from the Company. As a result, the Company’s ownership of M2P Americas is now 40.1%, and M2P’s ownership is 59.9%.

Any advances by the Company or its subsidiaries to M2P Americas will be considered a loan bearing interest at 4% per annum or the applicable federal rate if greater. The Strategic Alliance Agreement has a term of 20 years.

MGT filed a completed application for a New Jersey Casino Service Industry Enterprise License (“CSIE”). According to regulations promulgated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE), companies providing Internet gaming software or systems, and vendors who manage, control, or administer games and associated wagers conducted through the Internet, must obtain a CSIE. The Company expects a determination from NJDGE after it reviews the Personal History Disclosure forms to be provided by a significant minority stockholder of the Company. Completion of this paperwork is beyond the control of MGT; therefore the Company is unable to predict when or if a CSIE License will be granted.

MGT Interactive

On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into a Contribution and Sale Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among the Company, Gioia Systems, and LLC (“Gioia”) and MGT Interactive, LLC whereby MGT Interactive acquired certain assets from Gioia which was the inventor and owner of a proprietary method of card shuffling for the online poker market trademarked under the name Real Deal Poker (Note 4).

Medicsight

The software is designed to detect colorectal polyps during a virtual colonoscopy performed using CT Tomography. Software sales have been very limited in the past two years. The Company also has developed an automated carbon dioxide insufflation device and receives royalties on a per–unit basis from an international manufacturer. On June 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of Medicsight’s global patent portfolio to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. for gross proceeds of $1.5 million.
