UPON the application (the Application) of Engine Media Holdings, Inc. (the Applicant) to the Ontario Securities Commission (the Commission) requesting the Commission's consent to the Applicant continuing in another jurisdiction pursuant to section 181 of the OBCA (the Continuance);
AND UPON considering the Application and the recommendation of the staff of the Commission;
AND UPON the Applicant having represented to the Commission that:
1. The Applicant is an offering corporation under the OBCA.
2. The Applicant's registered and head office is located in Ontario and the Commission is the principal regulator of the Applicant.
3. The Applicant intends to apply to the Director under the OBCA pursuant to section 181 of the OBCA (the Application for Continuance) for authorization to continue as a corporation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), S.B.C. 2002, c.57, as amended (the BCBCA).

The Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) under the symbol "GAME". The Applicant's Common Shares trade on the OTCQB under the symbol "MLLLF". As at the close of business on September 11, 2020, the Applicant had 7,766,136 issued and outstanding Common Shares.
5. The Applicant is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as amended (the Act) and the securities legislation in Alberta and British Columbia (collectively, the Legislation). The Applicant will remain a reporting issuer in these jurisdictions following the Continuance.

10. The Company was originally incorporated, and currently exists, under the laws of the Province of Ontario but has no meaningful nexus to Ontario at this time.

11. The material rights, duties and obligations of a corporation, governed by the BCBCA are substantially similar to those under the OBCA.
12. The common shares of the Applicant will continue to be listed on the TSXV following the Continuance.

AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;
THE COMMISSION CONSENTS to the Continuance of the Applicant under the BCBCA.
