Guild Esports PLC (LSE: GILD; OTCQB: GULDF), a global gaming-focused media

Simulator Facility ("the simulator facility"), located in the heart of Guild's
state-of-the-art headquarters, the Sky Guild Gaming Centre, in London's
Shoreditch.

 

The simulator facility houses six sim racing rigs provided by Guild's Official
Sim Racing Peripherals Partner, Fanatec. In addition to the simulator facility
serving as a training facility for Guild's professional esports players, the
cutting-edge simulators provide an additional revenue stream to the Company
via experiential sim racing packages available for corporates, the wider
public and the esports community.

 

Following the grand opening, Guild announces the launch of the simulator
facility membership programme where prospective racers will pay a monthly fee
for access to Guild's state-of-the-art setup at the Sky Guild Gaming Centre.
 This will serve as a revenue stream for the Company and as a scouting
opportunity for Guild's professional teams. Included in the membership
programme are two monthly sessions. Moreover, the Company will provide members
with full telemetric performance data to show users individualised areas for
improvement in the esport, this data will serve as a training aid for both
aspiring and elite players.

 

Membership will cost £59.99 each month and interested parties can register
their interest in the membership programme at www.guildesports.com/racing

The facility is showcased in a new television advertising campaign launched by
Guild's Official Premier Partner, Sky Broadband. The advert features Guild's
co-owner, David Beckham, as well as Guild logos and branding throughout. The
advert launched on Saturday 11(th) November across Sky's channels including
Sky Sports and was first broadcast during a Premier League football match
between Newcastle FC and A.F.C. Bournemouth, resulting in exposure for the
Guild brand amongst Sky audiences.

 

Jasmine Skee, CEO of Guild Esports, commented: "The Sky Guild Gaming Centre is
the new home of sim racing in London. The grand opening of our
state-of-the-art facility is an excellent development for the company, not
just as it generates revenue but as it provides an opportunity for our
professional coaches to spot the esports stars of tomorrow.

 

"As the Sky Guild Gaming Centre continues its evolution into a premier esports
destination, the simulator facility represents an enhancement to our portfolio
of services, catering to the gaming community at large and exposing new
audiences to the sport owing to our prime London location in a popular area
with high footfall."
