East Side Games Group Inc.

“We’ve been working on this change for some time, and it represents a change in our trade name; not our purpose, our vision, our structure, or how we operate and it comes at an exciting time in the Company’s growth as we ramp our launch slate of new games and further scale our Game Kit partners,” said Darcy Taylor, CEO of East Side Games Group. “East Side Games has built an awareness across the mobile game industry over the past 10 years as one of the leaders in the casual games space since the founding of the studio in 2011. We see this change as an opportunity to build on this heritage and as a simplification of our brand to maximise shareholder value.”

The Company intends to seek shareholder approval to formally change its legal name to “East Side Games Group Inc.” at the next meeting of its shareholders. Until such time, its legal name will remain as LEAF Mobile Inc. d/b/a East Side Games Group Inc.

Trading of the Company’s common shares will commence under new symbol “EAGR” on the TSX effective at the opening on Wednesday, December 8, 2021.

Michael Edwards, the former chair will remain as a director on the board.

“I am honoured to be named as Executive Chair and look forward to bringing leadership and driving tremendous growth across the entire organization. Since the founding of East Side Games over 10 years ago, we’ve worked hard to establish ourselves as a voice for underserved audiences and as a builder of engaging content. This commitment hasn’t changed as we continue to grow our brand internationally and cement our reputation as not only a game developer, but also as a publisher, and a provider of innovative platforms for developers. I have never been more  excited about our growth prospects, as we build on the vision and legacy of East Side Games to reflect our journey and who we are as a company,” said Jason Bailey, newly appointed Executive Chairman of East Side Games Group.
