Announces Anticipated Effective Date of Reverse/Forward Stock Split
CA - June 7, 2016 - NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE MKT:NTN), a leader in interactive entertainment and innovative
dining technology, today announced the expected effective date of its 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split")
of common stock to be immediately followed by a forward split (the "Forward Split") of common stock at a ratio of
2-for-1 (together referred to as the "Reverse/Forward Split"). Stockholders granted the Board of Directors discretionary
authority to effect the Reverse/Forward Split at the company's annual meeting of shareholders held on June 3, 2016.
Buzztime anticipates the Reverse/Forward Split to be effective after the close of all trading on Thursday, June 16, 2016
(the "Effective Date"), and the common stock will continue trading under the trading symbol "NTN" under
a new CUSIP number on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE MKT at the opening of trading on Friday, June 17, 2016.
the Reverse/Forward Split becomes effective, if you are a stockholder of record with 100 or more shares of our common stock in
one account as of immediately prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Effective Date, your shares will first be combined and reconstituted
into one one-hundredth (1/100) of the number of shares you held in that account as of immediately prior to that time. Immediately
thereafter your shares will be split and reconstituted in the Forward Split into 2 times the number of shares you held after the
Reverse Split. Any fractional shares resulting from the Forward Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
shareholder who, as of immediately prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Effective Date, holds fewer than 100 shares of our common
stock in one account and, subsequent to the Reverse Split, would otherwise be entitled to less than one full share of our common
stock, will receive, instead of the fractional share, a cash payment for each such share held in that account equal to the average
of the closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE MKT over the five trading days immediately before and including
the Effective Date. Shares of common stock held in registered form in two or more accounts will be considered held in separate
accounts and will not be aggregated when effecting the Reverse Split. Similarly, shares of common stock held in registered form
and stock held in "street name" for the same investor will be considered held in separate accounts and will not be
aggregated when effecting the Reverse Split.
you believe that you may not hold sufficient shares of our common stock as of immediately prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the
Effective Date to hold at least one full share immediately following the Reverse Split and you want to continue to hold our common
stock after the Reverse/Forward Split, you may do so by taking either of the following actions far enough in advance so that it
is completed by 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Effective Date: (1) purchase and transfer to your account a sufficient number of
shares of our common stock so that you hold at least 100 shares in your account prior to and as of immediately prior to 6:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on the Effective Date; or (2) if you have shares of our common stock in more than one account, consolidate your accounts
so that you hold at least 100 shares of our common stock in one account as of immediately prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the
Reverse/Forward Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of NTN Buzztime common stock from approximately 92.4 million
to approximately 1.8 million. Correspondingly, the trading price of NTN Buzztime common stock is expected to proportionately increase
immediately following the Effective Date. However, other factors may adversely affect the price of our common stock and there
can be no assurance that the Reverse/Forward Split will increase the trading price of our common stock.

and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2016, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company's
