On April 1, 2024, Golden Star, Gamehaus and the Acquisition Entities entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”) solely to amend Section 12.1 of the Business Combination Agreement to clarify a certain definition.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
This current report on Form 8-K relates to a proposed transaction among Golden Star, Gamehaus and the Acquisition Entities. This current report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. In connection with the Business Combination, Gamehaus Holdings will file a registration statement on Form F-4 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) that will include a preliminary proxy statement of Golden Star and a registration statement/preliminary prospectus of Gamehaus Holdings, and after the Registration Statement is declared effective, Golden Star will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the record date to be established for voting on the proposed transaction in connection with its solicitation of proxies for the vote by its shareholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination and the other matters as will be described in such proxy statement. Golden Star and Pubco will also file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of Golden Star are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus, and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.
Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by Golden Star through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Golden Star, Pubco, Gamehaus, and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Golden Star shareholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of Golden Star’s shareholders in connection with the proposed transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. You can find more information about Golden Star’s directors and executive officers in Golden Star’s final prospectus related to its initial public offering dated May 1, 2023 and subsequent SEC reports.

Forward-Looking Statements
This current report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction among Gamehaus, Golden Star and the Acquisition Entities. Forward-looking statements include information concerning Golden Star’s and Gamehaus’ possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, and the effects of regulation, including whether the Business Combination will generate returns for shareholders. These forward-looking statements are based on Golden Star’s or Gamehaus’ management’s current expectations, projections, and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors include, but are not limited to: (a) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (b) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Golden Star, Gamehaus, or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (c) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain the approval of the shareholders of Golden Star or Gamehaus or to satisfy other conditions to closing, including the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; (d) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (e) the ability to meet the applicable stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (f) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Gamehaus or its subsidiaries as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; (g) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Gamehaus’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; (h) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Gamehaus to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (i) costs related to the Business Combination; (j) the price of Golden Star’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which Gamehaus operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Gamehaus’s business, Gamehaus’s inability to implement its business plan or meet or exceed its financial projections and changes in the combined capital structure; (k) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including legal or regulatory developments (including, without limitation, accounting considerations) which could result in unforeseen delays in the timing of the Business Combination and negatively impact the trading price of Golden Star’s securities and the attractiveness of the Business Combination to investors; (l) the possibility that Golden Star and Gamehaus may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (m) Gamehaus’ ability to execute its business plans and strategies; (n) Gamehaus’ estimates of expenses and profitability; (o) the amount of redemption requests made by Golden Star’s public shareholders; (p) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by Golden Star’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain extensions of the business deadline if sought by Golden Star; and (q) the effects of natural disasters, terrorist attacks and the spread and/or abatement of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, on the proposed transactions or on the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the final prospectus of Golden Star relating to its initial public offering filed with the SEC, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Golden Star. Copies are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Golden Star’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261569), the joint proxy statement/prospectus on Form F-4 discussed above and other documents filed by Golden Star or Pubco from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Pubco, Gamehaus and Golden Star assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Pubco, Gamehaus nor Golden Star gives any assurance that either Pubco, Gamehaus or Golden Star, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
