EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to Registration Statement No. 333-266678 of EBET, Inc. (the “Company”) on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) registering 1,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company.

On July 15, 2024, the Company received a notice of public foreclosure auction sale under Section 9-610 and 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code from its lender (the “Notice”). In accordance with the Notice, a public auction of certain Company assets occurred on August 1, 2024. The sale of the assets was effected via a statutory procedure under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which permits a creditor to exercise its right of foreclosure subsequent to a borrower’s loan default, take control of collateral assets of a borrower and sell them while reserving rights to credit bid. On August 1, 2024, the foreclosure sale pursuant to the auction was completed, and the primary assets and certain of the Company’s subsidiary equity holdings were sold. Effective as of the consummation of the sale, the Company ceased to have any further business operations.

As a result of the foreclosure, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, removes from registration any and all securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
