EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
GENTOO MEDIA INC.
2 November 2026
Information on resolutions related to agenda items
The Board of Directors, and, in relation to agenda items 2, 8, and 9, the Nomination Committee, set out below further information on the resolutions proposed for adoption by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. The Nomination Committee’s full reasoning in relation to agenda items 8 and 9 has been enclosed in this Notice.
(a) Agenda Item 2 – Chairman of the meeting
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Chairman of the Board, Mikael Harstad, is appointed as Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.
(b) Agenda Item 7 – Resolution to approve the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Gentoo Media Inc;
The Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to approve the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Gentoo Media Inc to:
(i) increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock“), from 200,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares, and (ii) authorize an additional class of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, to be designated “Class Z Common Stock,” consisting of an additional 100,000,000 shares.
Following the proposed amendment, the Company’s authorised share capital will be composed of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of Class Z Common Stock. For the elimination of doubt, the number of shares of Class Z Common Stock in issue will at no time exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as the shares in the new class are expected, following a mandatory lock-in period, to be converted to shares of Common Stock.
The amendment is proposed to create sufficient authorised, unissued share capital — including the new Class Z Common Stock class — to accommodate a directed issue of new unlisted shares which the Board of Directors is intends to carry out, subject to EGM approval and other regulatory approvals. The share issue will be fully underwritten by (i) MJ Foundation Fundacja Rodzinna (“MJF”), (ii) Fundacja Zbigniewa Juroszka Fundacja Rodzinna (“ZJF”) and (iii) Betplay Capital Fundacja Rodzinna (“Betplay”), each acting directly and/or through a designated affiliate (each a “Backstop Provider” and together the “Backstop Providers”), who have undertaken to subscribe for the pro-rate number of subscription rights allocated to them and further to any shares not taken up by other eligible shareholders. The Backstop Providers are amongst the Company’s largest shareholders, and 2 members of the Board of the Company are affiliated with them. The 2 members of the Board have not taken any part in the negotiations or deliberations with the Backstop Providers related to their underwriting commitment of a prospective share issue.
The rationale for the Company proposing that Class Z Common Stock be unlisted and subject to a mandatory lock-up period of 12 months is to comply with Regulation S exemption under U.S. securities law.
(c) Agenda Item 8 — Number of members of the Board of Directors
Following the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to increase the number of members of the Board of Directors from four (4) to five (5), for the period until the end of the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The Nomination Committee’s reasoned statement is enclosed to this Notice and is also available here: https://www.gentoomedia.com/shareholder-meetings/
(d) Agenda Item 9 — Election of a new member of the Board of Directors
Following the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to elect Łukasz Wójciak as a new member of the Board of Directors, to serve for the period until the end of the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mikael Harstad is proposed to continue as Chairman of the Board.
Information concerning Mr Wójciak, including his background and the Nomination Committee’s assessment of his independence in relation to the Company and its major shareholders, is set out in the Nomination Committee’s reasoned statement enclosed to this Notice which is also available here: https://www.gentoomedia.com/shareholder-meetings/. Information concerning the Company’s existing Board members proposed to continue in office is available on the Company’s website at www.gentoomedia.com/board-of-directors/.
