The address of the principal office of the Reporting Persons is 500 Commerce St., Suite 700, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. The principal business of John C. Goff is investing in and managing securities and real estate assets. The principal business of Travis Goff is serving as an executive of investment companies. The remaining Reporting Persons are principally engaged in the business of investments in securities, including in securities of the Issuer.

    Each of the Reporting Persons files this Schedule 13D jointly. The Reporting Persons are filing this Statement jointly, as they may be considered a “group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). However, neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that such a group exists. For a description of the relationship between the Reporting Persons, see Item 5 below.

    During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

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

    The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 3. As described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, the securities reported on this Schedule 13D reflect the closing of the Merger (defined below) contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (defined below) and the closing of the Offering (defined below) contemplated by the Agency Agreement (defined below) and the transactions consummated in connection therewith.

    On June 30, 2021, Goff NextGen acquired 18,957,291 common shares of GameSquare. In connection with the Merger, such shares were converted into 391,562 Common Shares. On July 22, 2021, Goff NextGen acquired 15,937,500 common shares of GameSquare and warrants exercisable for 7,968,750 common shares of GameSquare (such warrants the “NextGen Warrants”). In connection with the Merger, the NextGen Warrants were converted into warrants exercisable for 164,594 Common Shares with an exercise price of C$ 29.05 per share, which expire on July 22, 2023, and the common shares of GameSquare were converted into 329,189 Common Shares.


    On May 30, 2022, Holdings acquired the economic equivalent of 13,482,857 common shares of GameSquare. Between July 26 and July 29, 2022, Holdings acquired an additional economic equivalent of 2,079,750 common shares of GameSquare. In connection with the Merger, all such common shares of GameSquare were converted into 321,444 Common Shares.

    On April 11, 2023, in connection with the Merger, a subsidiary of Holdings effectuated a distribution-in-kind resulting in Holdings acquiring warrants exercisable for 69,622 Common Shares with an exercise price of C$ 6.78 per share and warrants exercisable for 12,132 Common Shares with an exercise price of C$ 6.29 per share, all of which expire on June 30, 2024.

    In connection with the Offering, on April 6, 2023, Holdings acquired 1,051,873 subscription receipts and Family Investments acquired 164,154 subscription receipts. The subscription receipts entitled the holder to convert each subscription receipt into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the Merger, such Common Shares held by Holdings and Family Investments were converted into 262,968 Common Shares and 41,039 Common Shares for each of Holdings and Family Investments, respectively.

    The source of funds for the securities described in this Schedule 13D held by Goff NextGen, Holdings, and Goff Family Investments is working capital of each Reporting Person.

    The source of funds for the securities described in this Schedule 13D held by Travis Goff is personal funds of the Reporting Person and grants in connection with his service as a member of the board of directors of GameSquare (defined below). These grants include (i) a grant on November 21, 2022 of 100,000 options for common shares of GameSquare made in connection with his service as director of GameSquare that expire on March 1, 2027 with an initial exercise price of C$ 0.35 per share, and (ii) a grant on March 13, 2023 of 200,000 RSUs of GameSquare in connection with his service as a director of GameSquare that vested on the date of such grant. In connection with the Merger, the options were converted into options exercisable for 2,065 Common Shares with an exercise price of C$ 16.95 per share, which expire on March 1, 2027. In connection with the Merger, the RSUs were converted into 4,131 RSUs of the Issuer.

    Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

    The information disclosed in Item 3 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

    Arrangement Agreement

    On December 7, 2022, GameSquare Esports Inc. (“GameSquare”) and the Issuer (then known as Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (“Engine” and together with GameSquare, the “Merger Parties”)), entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Engine to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of GameSquare in an all-stock transaction at the effective time of the Arrangement Agreement (the “Merger”), with the combined publicly-traded entity, which is the Issuer, retaining the name GameSquare Holdings, Inc. On April 11, 2023, upon the closing of the Merger and the simultaneous 4-to-1 reverse stock split, each outstanding share of GameSquare, was converted into 0.020655 Common Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Issuer, the surviving company after the Merger, representing voting and economic rights in the Issuer. Each outstanding warrant and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) of GameSquare was adjusted pursuant to its governing contractual instrument to entitle the holder to receive, upon due exercise, Common Shares, adjusted on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

    The foregoing descriptions of the Merger and the Arrangement Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Arrangement Agreement, which is referenced as Exhibit II to this Schedule 13D and is also incorporated herein by reference.

    Agency Agreement

    On April 6, 2023, Holdings and Family Investments acquired 1,051,873 and 164,154 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”), respectively, in connection with their participation in the Issuer’s public distribution (the “Offering”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agency agreement dated March 31, 2023 (the “Agency Agreement”) between Engine and Roth Canada, Inc. (the “Agent”) for $1.25 per Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to automatically receive, upon closing of the Offering, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration, one Common Share. Effective upon the closing of the Offering, the 1,051,873 and 164,154 Subscription Receipts held by Holdings and Family Investments were canceled in exchange for Holdings and Family Investments acquiring an equal number of


    Common Shares corresponding to the number of Subscription Receipts held by each such Reporting Person. Effective upon the closing of the Merger, and after giving effect to the Consolidation, the 1,051,873 and 164,154 Common Shares held by Holdings and Family Investments as a result of the Agency Agreement were exchanged for 262,968 and 41,039 Common Shares, respectively.

    The foregoing description of the Agency Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agency Agreement, which is referenced as Exhibit III to this Schedule 13D and is also incorporated herein by reference.

    In connection with the execution of the Agency Agreement, Travis Goff entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”) with the Agent. The Lock-up Agreement contains restrictions on transfer with respect to any Subscription Receipts, Common Shares, or certain other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable to acquire Common Shares held by Travis Goff for 90 days following the date on which the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined in the Agency Agreement) are satisfied, subject to certain exceptions.

    General

    The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis.

There can be no assurance, however, that any Reporting Person will propose such a transaction, that any proposed transaction would receive the requisite approvals from the respective governing bodies and unitholders, as applicable, or that any such transaction would be successfully implemented.

    Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
