Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On June 30, 2016, Empire Global Corp. ("we", "us", "our" or "Empire") entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire 100% ownership of a company organized under the laws of Austria (the "Company") from the existing stockholders (the "Sellers"). The Company developed, owns and operates a proprietary betting operating platform and gaming software development technology licensed under the Malta Gaming Authority. The Company brings to Empire a full staff of specialized software development engineers, marketing and customer care staff as well as a highly qualified Chief Technology Officer and key senior management. On July 1, 2016 (the "Closing Date"), Empire will pay euro 3,950,000 (three million, nine hundred, fifty thousand euro) (the "Purchase Price") by the issuance of an amount of shares rounded to the nearest round lot of our common stock at a fixed price of $1.00 per share (the "Exchange Shares")in proportions as designated by the Sellers in full consideration of the Purchase Price on a debt free basis. Pursuant to the Agreement, Empire shall appoint the Sellers as members of the board of directors and as officers of Empire. The Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, warranties and representations. A redacted copy of the Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01, 2.01 and 3.02 of this Current Report. Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets As described in Item 1.01 above, on July 1, 2016 we completed the acquisition of the Company pursuant to the Agreement. The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 2.01. Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. As described in Item 1.01, on July 1, 2016, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.02, we issued 4,386,100 shares of common stock to the Sellers in consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The effect of the issuance is that the Sellers now hold approximately 12.56% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Empire based on the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Empire after giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein. Empire claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act since the transaction did not involve a public offering, the Sellers are accredited investors with access to information about Empire and its investment, the Sellers took the securities for investment and not resale, and Empire took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities. The Agreement stipulates that the Exchange Shares (i) are restricted securities and (ii) may not be offered, transferred or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements
