Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is filed by Trident Acquisitions Corp. (noting the input metadata reference to "Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corp" appears to be a misclassification, as the filing text explicitly identifies the registrant as Trident Acquisitions Corp.) for the reporting period ending August 31, 2021. The company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) incorporated in Delaware, currently in the process of consummating a proposed business combination with Lottery.com.

- Contribution Rate: $0.05 per share of common stock outstanding.
Revenue, profit margins, debt levels, and liquidity metrics beyond the trust account contribution are not provided in this specific filing.

The primary material event reported is the extension of the deadline to complete a business combination:
- Extension Approval: The Board of Directors approved an extension of the business combination deadline by three months, moving the date to December 1, 2021.
