EXHIBIT 10.1
AGREEMENT TO AMEND AND RESTATE
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
This Agreement to Amend and Restate Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Agreement”) dated July 14, 2021, and effective June 6, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), is by and among Golden Matrix Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Knutsson Holdings AB (the “Holder”), each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.”
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, on or around January 20, 2021, the Holder purchased from the Company, pursuant to its entry into a Subscription Agreement, dated on or around the same date (the “Subscription Agreement”), an aggregate of 1,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of restricted common stock of the Company and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants” and the agreement evidencing such Warrants (W0012), the “Warrant Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Warrants have an exercise price of $6.00 per share (and no cashless exercise rights), and were exercisable until the earlier of (a) January 14, 2023, and (b) the 30th day after the Company provided the Holder notice that the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock had closed at or above $10.00 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days (a “Trigger Event”);
WHEREAS, the Warrants included a beneficial ownership limitation, which limited the exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder in the event that upon exercise such Holder (and any related parties) would hold more than 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”);
WHEREAS, from April 26, 2021, to May 7, 2021 (the “Triggering Date”)(ten consecutive trading days), the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock closed at or above $10.00 per share and a Trigger Event was deemed to have occurred;
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the occurrence of a Trigger Event, as the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder would have exceeded the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and as an accommodation to the Holder, on May 11, 2021, the Company agreed to provide the Holder 61 days from the Triggering Date, or until July 11, 2021, to exercise the Warrants;
WHEREAS, the Holder’s ability to exercise the Warrants remained constrained by the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and as a further accommodation to the Holder and in consideration for the Partial Exercise (defined below), the Company agreed in principle with the Holder, and subject to approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, to extend the expiration date of the Warrants to November 11, 2022 (the “Extended Expiration Date”);
WHEREAS, in consideration for the Company agreeing to the Extended Expiration Date, the Holder agree to, and in fact did, exercise warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Partial Exercise”) on July 9, 2021; and

WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend and restate the Warrant Agreement evidencing the Warrants to reflect the Partial Exercise and the Extended Expiration Date, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, and considerations herein contained, and other consideration, which consideration the Parties hereby acknowledge and confirm the receipt and sufficiency of, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

(b) The Parties agree that the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement is being agreed to by the Parties (i) in order to settle any issues associated with the terms of the prior Warrant Agreement, including complexities associated therewith, as the original Warrant Agreement did not contemplate a holder of such prior Warrant Agreement being unable to exercise such Warrant Agreement upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; (ii) in consideration for the Partial Exercise by the Holder; and (iii) as an accommodation by the Company to the Holder.
2. Consideration. Each of the Parties agrees and confirms by signing below that they have received valid consideration in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.
3. Mutual Representations, Covenants and Warranties. Each of the Parties, for themselves and for the benefit of each of the other Parties hereto, represents, covenants and warranties that:
(a) Such Party has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles;

(b) The execution and delivery by such Party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) constitute a violation of any law; or (ii) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which such Party is bound or affected; and
(c) Any individual executing this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement on behalf of an entity has authority to act on behalf of such entity and has been duly and properly authorized to sign this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement on behalf of such entity.

5. Further Assurances.
