Merger Agreement

The Merger

Golden Star Acquisition Corporation (“Golden Star”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. On September 16, 2023, Golden Star entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) for a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with (i) Gamehaus Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“Gamehaus” or the “Company”), (ii) Gamehaus Holdings Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Pubco”), (iii) Gamehaus 1 Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“First Merger Sub”); (iv) Gamehaus 2 Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Second Merger Sub” and, together with Pubco and First Merger Sub, each, individually, an “Acquisition Entity” and, collectively, the “Acquisition Entities”); and (v) G-Star Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company, in the capacity as, from and after the Closing, the representative for Golden Star and its shareholders (the “Sponsor”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) First Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), whereby the separate existence of First Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will be the surviving corporation of the First Merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco; and (b) following confirmation of the effective filing of the First Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Second Merger Sub will merge with and into Golden Star (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), whereby the separate existence of Second Merger Sub will cease, and Golden Star will be the surviving corporation of the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco.

As a result of the Mergers, among other things, (i) all outstanding Ordinary Shares of Gamehaus (except for the Company Specially Designated Ordinary Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive such number of Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with the exchange ratio provided for in the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”), (ii) all Company Specially Designated Ordinary Shares will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of Pubco Class B Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, (iii) all outstanding Preferred Shares of Gamehaus will be converted into such number of Gamehaus Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Gamehaus’ Memorandum and Articles of Association, and immediately thereafter canceled and converted into the right to receive such number of Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares based on the Exchange Ratio, (iv) each outstanding Golden Star Unit will be automatically detached and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one Golden Star Ordinary Share and one Golden Star Right, (v) each unredeemed outstanding Golden Star Ordinary Share will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one (1) Pubco Class A Ordinary Share, and (vi) every five (5) issued and outstanding Golden Star Rights will be canceled and converted into one (1) Pubco Class A Ordinary Share. The Mergers, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the other agreements contemplated thereby may be referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K as the “Transactions”.

The Business Combination has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Golden Star, Gamehaus and the Acquisition Entities and is expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2023 or early 2024.
