Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 26, 2026, Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release disclosing that the Company’s board of directors has approved a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1-for-12 and a name change to “Meridian Holdings Inc.” (the “Name Change”). The Reverse Stock Split is expected to raise the nominal price of GMGI shares to ensure compliance with the minimum bid requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and to help strengthen the Company’s capital markets positioning.
A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 in its entirety.
The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Reverse Stock Split and Name Change are expected to become effective at 12:01 AM ET on March 3, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). Shares of the Company’s Common Stock are expected to begin trading on a post-split, post-name change, basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of trading on March 3, 2026. Shares of the Common Stock are expected to trade under the ticker “MRDN” and the new CUSIP number will be 381098409.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twelve (12) shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Company as of the Effective Time will be reclassified into one (1) new share of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 151,692,749 as of the date of this Report, to approximately 12.6 million and the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 300 million shares to 25 million.
The Reverse Stock Split and Name Change was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, without any required stockholder approval, pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS).
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each holder of Common Stock will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction of one share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share of Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time.
