Toronto, ON M4P 2Y3

Attention:Board of Directors (Francesco Aquilini; John Albright; Adrian Montgomery; Michael Beckerman; Alan Friedman; Ben Colabrese; Richard Sherman)

 

Dear Gentlemen:

 

Greywood, LLC, together with Greywood Investments, LLC and their affiliates and associates (“Greywood”), is a longstanding shareholder in Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (“Enthusiast” or the “Company”), having invested in the Company prior to it becoming publicly traded. We are also the largest shareholder in the Company, having invested over US$30 million to acquire over 9.3% of Enthusiast’s outstanding shares. Our investment in Enthusiast reflects our belief in the Company’s enormous potential. Unfortunately, under current leadership, that potential is being squandered.

 

We came to this conclusion after a lengthy, careful and diligent assessment, during which we consulted with independent third-party firms, industry players, executive recruiters, prior employees, current employees, shareholders and other stakeholders. Our primary and clear conclusion is that the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Adrian Montgomery, is a detriment to the Company’s management, operations, communications, and growth strategies and Enthusiast is failing to realize its potential under his leadership and under the direction of the Board of Directors, as it is currently constructed.

 

Our review has highlighted significant issues with the Company’s culture and governance, with the former attributable to Mr. Montgomery and the latter attributable to the Board; both are materially impeding the Company’s performance. We can see the result not only in the Company’s share price over the course of our investment, but also by the eroding industry-wide reputation of the Company. This cannot continue. We therefore intend to lead a campaign to change the leadership at Enthusiast and will be providing advance notice of our nomination of several highly qualified, accomplished and interested individuals to serve on the Company’s Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders.

 

In the rapidly ever-changing and exponentially growing fields of gaming, esports and technology and with the evolution of Web3.0, it is urgent that change at the highest levels of the Company be implemented immediately. Shareholders expect and will tolerate nothing less.

No More Board Games

 

When companies are led by a chief executive who has knowledge of and respect in the industry, team members who respect him/her, sophistication regarding business operations and M&A, and the ability to productively engage other stakeholders in the business, the directors and the shareholders who elected them may conclude that such a board is providing requisite oversight. However, this is not the case with Enthusiast, and it is unfortunate that certain directors do not have the requisite industry knowledge, experience and willingness to recognize and rectify the shortcomings.

 

The current Board’s lack of economic interest in the Company is telling. Collectively, the entire Board only own 5.7% of Enthusiast’s common shares, with 87% of this position represented by shares mostly gifted by the Company to Messrs. Montgomery and Aquilini. Shareholders take comfort when board members have significant cash investments in a company, so that their interests are aligned with the interests of shareholders and the long-term health and prospects of the company. In this case, Greywood alone owns more shares than the entire Board of Directors combined, and we have been steadily increasing our investment over time, contrary to existing Board members who do not appear to have the same enthusiasm for the enterprise which they notionally oversee. The interests of the Board and shareholders, including Greywood, are not completely aligned.

 

Beyond a misalignment of economic interests, we are concerned about a potential dereliction in duties (fiduciary and otherwise) that we have learned of and request to view the Board of Directors minute books for the past two years. We have identified several critical issues, including:

 

Awareness. The directors, who should have comprehensive knowledge of the Company, seem completely unaware of the work atmosphere propagated by Mr. Montgomery and the many dysfunctional management relationships. It does not appear any effort has been taken to determine why valuable employees have left or threatened to leave the Company (including the Chief Operating Officer) or the difficulties in recruiting new talent, which has led at best to voids in the Company’s organizational structure and operations, and at worst to the development of a divisive work environment. We surmise many of the current management and other employees are troubled by Mr. Montgomery’s proclivity toward co-opting staff’s achievements while either dispensing blame on others for his failures or forcing management to execute his undesirable actions to protect his own reputation at the expense of others. The Directors oversee a culture of divisiveness developed under Mr. Montgomery, instead of a culture of collaboration. We are confident if directors understood the extent of the current situation, it would have been addressed long ago.

 

Transactions. A board has a responsibility to be disciplined in its stewardship of Company resources, in particular with respect to partnerships and acquisitions. Mr. Montgomery has consistently failed to include or consult with other members of management, employees and stakeholders with the necessary knowledge base to consider and evaluate transactions, yet we understand that deals presented to the Board by Mr. Montgomery are rubber-stamped without any rigorous assessment, appropriate diligence or contemplation or deliberation on how the deal fits within the Company’s acquisition strategy. This is perhaps explained, but not excused, by the Board’s lack of industry knowledge and makes clear why board renewal is immediately required.

 

 

 

CUSIP NO. 29385B109   Page 11 of 14

 

Alleged Impropriety. We believe that the Board has failed to provide proper oversight or handling of certain conflict situations or reported incidents. This raises serious questions regarding the Board’s judgment, which we think has unwittingly fostered what we understand to be an unhealthy and harmful culture. This, we believe, has resulted in the Company having significant difficulty recruiting and retaining appropriate individuals in leadership roles (particularly women).

 

Lack of Transparency. The Board constructively terminated Enthusiast’s founder from his management position, after which he resigned as a director, but in each case the Board failed to timely and appropriately notify shareholders and the public, withholding this information for months.

 

Compensation. To be successful, Enthusiast requires an environment that rewards all of those who are generating growing revenues and strong performance, as opposed to overcompensating the CEO. We think the Board is making a serious mistake in granting CEO equity incentive compensation that exceeds the equity incentive compensation of all the talented non-management personnel combined.

 

We caution the Board, in exercising its fiduciary responsibility to the Company and all its stakeholders, not to excessively reward the CEO by further doling out outsized and undeserved compensation, severance, and perks or granting any significant contract extension, especially given our clear admonitions for the past six months. We note that only a few weeks ago the Board rewarded itself with additional options and restricted stock units, adding insult to injury to shareholders given the depressed share price.

 

CEO Upgrade

 

The Company needs and deserves a CEO whose qualifications and track record are above reproach and who is a respected veteran leader in the gaming, media, technology or other appropriate field. In particular, the CEO should possess the qualities and capabilities necessary to develop, understand and then effectively communicate the Company’s strategy and to create a culture at the Company that will allow for the empowerment and advancement of senior and other management. At Enthusiast, team members should not be apprehensive about expressing their honest views for fear of retribution. For the sake of the Company, as well as its shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, we must begin the process of replacing the CEO immediately.

 

We believe the CEO has also lost the confidence of shareholders and the industry in general. Enthusiast’s languishing valuation and reputation is due in no small part to the current CEO’s inability to communicate the Company’s strategies and long-term opportunities to the market. Company press releases are viewed by many as a transparent and futile attempt at self-promotion by the CEO, undermining Enthusiast’s credibility. When the CEO communicates with current or potential investors, we are told that his attitude and lack of detailed understanding of the Company and the industry is off-putting.

 

 

 

CUSIP NO. 29385B109   Page 12 of 14

 

Unrealized Potential

 

The frustrating part for shareholders is that the Company does in fact possess extremely talented personnel developing and/or implementing notable strategies. We believe Enthusiast should have a market value of US$1-2 billion, not the anemic US$250-300 million market value under the current leadership. With proper leadership and focus we see a realistic path to a US$4-5 billion company.

 

Enthusiast has a strong platform from which it could and should, under experienced, knowledgeable and respected leadership, not only maximize its data and technology capabilities for its advertising and subscription businesses but also expand exponentially by expeditiously capitalizing on the explosive growth of gaming as a gateway to the adoption of the many innovative technologies of Web3.0.

 

Despite the many issues we have identified, we continue to see tremendous potential for Enthusiast and have been increasing our ownership position accordingly. The resolve of the Enthusiast team despite the inadequate leadership from the Board and CEO have propelled the Company to record revenue and margin improvements and various increasing metrics, which speaks to the team’s ability to perform even while enduring such adverse conditions. We believe that an environment with an adequate and experienced CEO and absent the impediments placed by Mr. Montgomery, both in terms of the progress of its traditional ad sales business and potential exploitation of Enthusiast’s existing platform, would allow the Company to flourish.

 

As you know, we commenced discussions with the Board last fall regarding our grave concerns with respect to Enthusiast’s leadership, operations and direction. It is our belief that over the past year, the lack of capital markets experience at the Board and CEO level exacerbated the situation. The Company’s share price has dropped from a high of US$8.64 per share on April 20, 2021 to US$2.10 as of the close of business yesterday, May 23, 2022, almost a 76% loss. This compares quite unfavorably to a drop of approximately 16% for the Nasdaq Stock Market and 4% for the S&P 500 Index during the same period.

 

Next Steps

 

We intend to lead our fellow shareholders in a campaign to Upgrade Enthusiast to rescue Enthusiast back from an entrenched, ineffective Board and CEO. As you know, we have tried in vain to engage with the Board, and we were particularly dismayed when in response to our most recent constructive letter we received a terse, generic, disingenuous and dismissive email. It has become apparent to us that this Board works for the CEO. As a reminder, the shareholders are the owners of Enthusiast, and the Board’s duties run to the Company and its stakeholders (including its shareholders), not to Mr. Montgomery. We encourage you to promptly speak with other large shareholders, some of whom we introduced to the Company based on our passion for the incredible, game-changing investment opportunity presented by the current core assets of Enthusiast. We are confident that you will discover shareholder viewpoints overwhelmingly consistent with our position.

 

 

 

CUSIP NO. 29385B109   Page 13 of 14

 

We intend to Upgrade Enthusiast by, among other things:

 

Replacing a majority of the Board with directors who possess the requisite industry and professional expertise and/or a meaningful interest (both economic and otherwise) in the Company;

 

Removing Mr. Montgomery and promptly commencing a search for a permanent CEO and immediately appointing the current Chief Operating Officer or another qualified individual as interim CEO to assume management of all day-to-day operations and oversee all acquisitions, partnerships and other extraordinary transactions (fortunately we understand much of this has been the status quo for some time so there should be minimal disruption, if any);

 

Unleashing Enthusiast’s unique strengths in data science, technology and development in order to compete more aggressively and expand, develop and integrate with rapidly growing new media and technology fields; and

 

Positioning Enthusiast as the global leader it can be with an increased focus on operations in gaming/technology/capital centers in the United States, such as Los Angeles and New York.

 

We expect new leadership will restore Enthusiast’s reputation, return the Company to its authentic engagement with its gamer audience for which it has been traditionally known, attract new talent, develop consistent and coherent strategies, and clearly communicate those strategies internally and externally to stakeholders.

 

We look forward to the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in June. We will be submitting a separate communication providing advance notice of our nomination of several highly qualified and interested individuals to serve on the Company’s Board.

 

The time for change is overdue, and the wishes of shareholders should not be frustrated. For those existing Board members who choose to no longer serve, we appreciate your time to date and wish you the best in your future roles.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Greywood, LLC
