Explanatory Note

The address of the principal executive office of NeoGames is 10 Habarzel St., Tel Aviv 6971014, Israel. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended by addition of the following:

On April 19, 2023, Mr. Matalon, Mr. Azur and Mr. Aran each acquired additional Ordinary Shares pursuant to the SPA (as defined in Item 4 below). The source and amount of funds or other consideration for acquisitions under the SPA are described in Item 4 below, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended by addition of the following:

Share Purchase Agreement

On April 19, 2023, a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") was entered into by and among Mr. Matalon, Mr. Azur and Mr. Aran (each, a “Purchaser”) and Mr. Zahavi (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, purchased an aggregate of 3,281,557 Ordinary Shares from the Seller, as follows: Mr. Matalon purchased 1,751,318 Ordinary Shares, Mr. Azur purchased 1,093,028 Ordinary Shares and Mr. Aran purchased 437,211 Ordinary Shares (collectively, the "Purchased Shares").

Pursuant to the SPA, the purchase price for the Purchased Shares shall be calculated and paid as follows, upon the earlier to occur of any of the following events:

•

On the second anniversary of the SPA (the "Long Stop Date"), each Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the volume-weighted average price per share of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Market during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to such Long Stop Date, multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares purchased by such Purchaser under the SPA.

•

If, prior to such second anniversary date, all Purchasers sell all of their Ordinary Shares to a bona fide third-party buyer (the "Sale Transaction"), the price per share payable by the Purchasers for the Ordinary Shares sold under the SPA shall be equal to the price per share paid to the Purchasers in the Sale Transaction, multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares purchased by such Purchaser under the SPA. Payment of these amounts shall be made to the seller within ten (10) days of the Sale Transaction.

•

If, prior to the Long Stop Date and prior to any Sale Transaction, the volume-weighted average price per share of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Market during ten (10) consecutive trading days reaches or exceeds $26.00 per share, the Purchasers shall commence the sale in the market of the Ordinary Shares purchased by such Purchaser under the SPA and continue such sales for as long as the $26.00 per share can be maintained. Payment of the market prices in which the Purchased Shares were sold (which sales can be over several days, at several prices, but not below $26.00 per share), multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares purchased by such Purchaser under the SPA, shall be made to the Seller within thirty (30) days of each such sale.

Provided however, that in any event, if either Mr. Matalon or Mr. Azur sells more than 50% of the shares owned by each of them, respectively, prior to the transactions set forth above (a "Triggering Sale"), all Purchasers shall sell any remaining Purchased Shares at the best price per share they can obtain in prevailing market conditions and, within ten (10) business days of such sales, transfer proceeds of such sales to the Seller, with the consideration for the Purchased Shares being calculated based on the weighted average of the price per share of both the Triggering Sale and such subsequent sales (taking into account the Triggering Sale and the sale of Purchased Shares).

Pursuant to the SPA, the Voting Agreement shall be terminated in relation to the Seller and continue in full force and effect between the Purchasers.

The foregoing descriptions of the SPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement.
