Item
3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
To
the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item
5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On
August 18, 2026, GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”)
to the First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to
effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a
ratio of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
The
Certificate of Amendment provides that the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2026
(the “Effective Time”), at which time every eight (8) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically
combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Certificate of
Amendment provides that in the event a stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Common Stock, such
stockholder shall receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share and no fractional shares shall be issued.
Trading
of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis will commence at market open on August 24, 2026. The new CUSIP
number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 36468G202.
As
a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be decreased from approximately 102,271,871
pre-split shares to approximately 12,783,983 post-split shares, subject to adjustment for fractional shares. The Reverse Stock Split
will not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock.
The
Reverse Stock Split will apply to the Company’s outstanding convertible securities, warrants, stock options and restricted stock
units. The number of shares of Common Stock into which these outstanding securities are convertible or exercisable will be adjusted proportionately
as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The conversion prices of any outstanding convertible securities and the exercise prices of any
outstanding warrants or stock options will also be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms of those securities and the
Company’s equity incentive plans.
As
previously announced, on August 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split proposal at a ratio in the
range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-8, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its discretion without
further approval from the Company’s stockholders. Subsequently on August 14, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved
the final reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”).
The
forgoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to, the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K,
and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
8.01. Other Events.
The
information in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
The
Company has registration statements on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285543), registration statements on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280863) and
registration statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-279623 and 333-293284) (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). SEC regulations permit the Company to incorporate by reference
future filings made with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
prior to the termination of the offerings covered by registration statements filed on Form S-3, Form S-1 and/or Form S-8. The information
incorporated by reference is considered part of the prospectus included within each of those registration statements. Information in
this Item 8.01 is intended to be automatically incorporated by reference into each of the active Registration Statements, thereby amending
them. Pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the amount of undistributed shares of Common Stock deemed
covered by the Registration Statements are proportionately reduced as of the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split at the Reverse
Stock Split Ratio.

Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE
OF AMENDMENT TO THE
FIRST
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
GAMESQUARE
HOLDINGS, INC.
GameSquare
Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation existing under and by virtue of General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), hereby certifies as follows:
1.
The
name of the Corporation is GameSquare Holdings, Inc.
2.
The
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation was originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March
7, 2024. The First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended, the “Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
on June 18, 2026.
3.
The
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), acting in accordance with the provisions of Sections
141 and 242 of the DGCL, adopted resolutions amending the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as follows:
The
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by adding the following new Section E immediately below Section D
of the FOURTH Article:
“Effective
as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), each eight (8) shares of Common Stock
either issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically
and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (the
“Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders
who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such additional fraction of
a share of Common Stock as is necessary to increase the fractional shares to a full share. Each certificate that immediately prior to
the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (“Old Certificates”), shall thereafter represent that
number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject
to the treatment of fractional shares as described above. No changes are being made to the number of authorized shares.”
4.
Thereafter,
pursuant to a resolution of the Board, this Certificate of Amendment was submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their
approval, and was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the DGCL.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by its Chief Executive Officer, as of the
18th day of August, 2026.
