Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 9, 2021, DraftKings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “DraftKings”), Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GNOG”), New Duke Holdco, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of DraftKings (“New DraftKings”), Duke Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of New DraftKings (“Duke Merger Sub”), and Gulf Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New DraftKings (“Gulf Merger Sub” and, together with Duke Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which DraftKings will, among other things, acquire all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of GNOG (the “GNOG Shares”).

 

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein (the “Acquisition”) were (i) unanimously approved and declared fair to, advisable and in the commercial interests of DraftKings by the board of directors of DraftKings and (ii) unanimously approved and declared advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of GNOG and its stockholders by the board of directors of GNOG (the “GNOG Board”), acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the GNOG Board (the “GNOG Special Committee”).

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain affiliates of DraftKings and GNOG, entered into that certain commercial agreement with respect to expansion of market access, database access and marketing integrations of DraftKings (the “Commercial Agreement”).

 

Merger Agreement

 

Transaction Structure & Merger Consideration

 

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (1) at the Duke Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Duke Merger Sub will be merged with and into DraftKings in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), with DraftKings becoming the surviving corporation (the “Duke Surviving Corporation”) and (2) at the Gulf Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Gulf Merger Sub will be merged with and into GNOG in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), with GNOG becoming the surviving corporation (the “Gulf Surviving Corporation”, and together with the Duke Surviving Corporation, collectively the “Surviving Corporations”). In connection with the Acquisition, certain affiliates of Fertitta will consummate certain reorganization transactions to allow LGHN HoldCo, LLC to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GNOG following the consummation of the Acquisition.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that upon the consummation of the Acquisition, each holder of GNOG Shares (a “GNOG Shareholder”) will receive 0.365 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of New DraftKings Class A common stock (the “New DraftKings Class A Common Stock”) for each GNOG Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Gulf Effective Time, other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

Each share of DraftKings Class A common stock (“DraftKings Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Duke Effective Time will be cancelled, cease to exist and be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock and each share of DraftKings Class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Duke Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of New DraftKings Class B common stock.

 

Treatment of GNOG RSUs and GNOG Private Placement Warrants

 

At the Gulf Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit (a “GNOG RSU”) issued by GNOG will automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof vest, then be cancelled and thereafter only entitle the holder of such GNOG RSU to receive (without interest) a number of shares of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock equal to (x) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of GNOG Shares subject to such GNOG RSU immediately prior to the Gulf Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, less (y) a number of shares of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock equal to the applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such GNOG RSU settlement.

 

 

 

 

At the Gulf Effective Time, each outstanding warrant issued by GNOG (“GNOG Private Warrant”) to purchase shares of GNOG Class A common stock (“GNOG Class A Common Stock”) will automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder convert into a warrant to purchase a number of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of GNOG Class A Common Stock subject to such GNOG Private Warrant immediately prior to the Gulf Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price of such GNOG Private Warrant will be determined by dividing (1) the per share exercise price of such GNOG Private Warrant immediately prior to the Gulf Effective Time by (2) the Exchange Ratio.

 

Treatment of DraftKings RSUs

 

At the Duke Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit (a “DraftKings RSU”) issued by DraftKings will automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a restricted stock unit denominated in one share of DraftKings Class A Common Stock and will be converted into a restricted stock unit denominated in one share of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock (a “New DraftKings RSU”). Except as specifically provided in the Merger Agreement, following the Duke Effective Time, each such DraftKings RSU will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the applicable DraftKings RSU immediately prior to the Duke Effective Time.

 

Representations and Warranties and Covenants

Fertitta, a stockholder of GNOG currently holding approximately 79.9% of voting power in issued and outstanding GNOG Shares pursuant to which Fertitta will irrevocably adopt, approve and ratify the Merger Agreement and the Acquisition (the “GNOG Written Consent”), and (4) with respect to DraftKings, delivering to GNOG written consents from its stockholders sufficient to approve the Acquisition in accordance with the NRS and its organizational documents (the “DraftKings Written Consent”). Upon delivery, the GNOG Written Consent and the DraftKings Written Consent will constitute the stockholder approval of GNOG and DraftKings, respectively, required to consummate the Acquisition.

 

Among other things, the Merger Agreement also prohibits GNOG from soliciting competing acquisition proposals from third parties, except that, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, GNOG may provide information to, and negotiate with, a third party that makes an unsolicited bona fide acquisition proposal if the GNOG Board or the GNOG Special Committee determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor that (i) such acquisition proposal either constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (ii) failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law (the “No-Shop Provision”).

DRAFTKINGS REACHES AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE GOLDEN NUGGET ONLINE GAMING IN AN ALL-STOCK TRANSACTION

Includes Commercial Agreement with Fertitta Entertainment and Houston Rockets

 

BOSTON, MA, AND HOUSTON, TX - August 9, 2021-- DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) and Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNOG) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for DraftKings to acquire Golden Nugget Online Gaming in an all-stock transaction that has an implied equity value of approximately $1.56 billion. The acquisition will enable DraftKings to leverage Golden Nugget’s well-known brand, iGaming product experience and existing combined database of more than 5 million customers. In connection with the acquisition, DraftKings has entered into a commercial agreement with Fertitta Entertainment, Inc., the parent company of the Houston Rockets, Golden Nugget, LLC and Landry’s LLC, and a leader in the gaming, restaurant, hospitality, and sports entertainment industry.

 

“Our acquisition of Golden Nugget Online Gaming, a brand synonymous with iGaming and entertainment, will enhance our ability to instantly reach a broader consumer base, including Golden Nugget’s loyal ‘iGaming-first’ customers,” said Jason Robins, DraftKings’ CEO and Chairman of the Board. “This deal creates meaningful synergies such as increased combined company revenues driven by additional cross-sell opportunities, loyalty integrations and tech-driven product expansion as well as technology optimization and greater marketing efficiencies. We look forward to Tilman being an active member of our Board and one of our largest shareholders.”

 

“This transaction will add great value to the shareholders as two market leaders merge into a leading global player in digital sports, entertainment and online gaming,” said Tilman Fertitta, Chairman and CEO of GNOG. “Leveraging Fertitta Entertainment’s broad entertainment offerings and extensive customer database, coupled with DraftKings’ mammoth network makes this an unbeatable partnership. Together, we can offer value to our combined customer base that is unparalleled. We believe that DraftKings is one of the leading players in this burgeoning space and couldn’t be more excited to lock arms with Jason and the DraftKings family across our entire portfolio of assets, including the Houston Rockets, the Golden Nugget casinos and Landry’s vast portfolio of restaurants. This is a strong commercial agreement for both companies.”

 

Synergies and Strategic Benefits of the Acquisition

 

The acquisition of Golden Nugget Online Gaming will deliver significant strategic benefits to DraftKings as well as expected synergies of $300mm at maturity. DraftKings will deploy a multi-brand strategy which will enhance cross-sell opportunities and drive increased market share and revenue growth. In addition, there will be multiple channels for cost savings by, among other things, eliminating platform costs as a result of migrating Golden Nugget’s current technology to DraftKings’ in-house proprietary platform, recognizing enhanced returns on advertising spend through marketing efficiencies, and reducing G&A costs such as duplicative corporate overhead. The commercial deal will also reduce DraftKings’ market access rates through preferred pricing with Golden Nugget-owned properties and an exclusive commercial deal across daily fantasy sports, sportsbook and iGaming with the Houston Rockets which further solidifies the deep partnership between DraftKings and Fertitta Entertainment. Additionally, the all-stock deal preserves DraftKings’ balance sheet and aligns the long-term interests of both brands and shareholders.

Combined company revenues

 

DraftKings expects to see revenue uplift from additional cross-promotion opportunities, which will expand the Company’s customer base by engaging a loyal iGaming-first customer. Additionally, there are anticipated revenue synergies through potential technology and game expansion, including Live Dealer offerings.

 

Technology optimization

 

By bringing Golden Nugget Online Gaming onto DraftKings’ in-house technology, DraftKings expects to eliminate current Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s third-party platform costs, reducing operating expenses and vendor costs. Additionally, DraftKings’ technology-first approach will drive product enhancement through expanded offerings, including in-house live dealer, and an improved consumer-driven experience.

 

Marketing efficiencies

 

By streamlining marketing strategies and efforts between the two brands, DraftKings expects to realize a higher return on investment. Additionally, the agreement provides DraftKings new opportunities to deeply integrate with Fertitta Entertainment, Inc. and market to existing Golden Nugget customers through cross-selling products, in retail sportsbooks and across Fertitta Entertainment, Inc. assets. DraftKings customers will also have access to new VIP and promotional opportunities, including the ability to purchase discounted rewards and secure reservations using the DraftKings VIP rewards program, subject to a pricing agreement to be determined.

In connection with the acquisition, DraftKings has also reached an agreement regarding a separate commercial deal with Fertitta Entertainment, Inc. across its asset portfolio, including the Houston Rockets, Golden Nugget, LLC and Landry’s LLC. The commercial agreement will include marketing integrations, sponsorship assets with the Houston Rockets, an expanded retail sportsbook presence, and the optionality to obtain market access on favorable terms through certain Golden Nugget casinos. DraftKings will also become the exclusive daily fantasy sports, sports betting, and iGaming partner of the Houston Rockets and intends to open a sportsbook at the Toyota Center, pending state legalization and regulatory approvals.

 

Details of the transaction

 

As part of the transaction, DraftKings will undergo a holding company reorganization and form a new holding company New DraftKings, which will become the going-forward public company for both DraftKings and GNOG. New DraftKings will be renamed DraftKings Inc. at closing (“New DraftKings”).

 

Under the terms of the merger agreement entered into on August 9, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), Golden Nugget Online Gaming stockholders would receive a fixed ratio of 0.365 shares of New DraftKings’ Class A Common Stock for each Common Share of Golden Nugget Online Gaming they hold on the record date (the “Exchange Ratio”). Tilman Fertitta, who owns beneficially approximately 46% of the equity in GNOG, has agreed to continue to hold the DraftKings shares to be issued to him in the merger for a minimum of one year from the closing of the transaction.

The Board of Directors of Golden Nugget Online Gaming (the “GNOG Board”), acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a committee of independent and disinterested directors established by the GNOG Board (the “Special Committee”), approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions, and resolved to recommend Golden Nugget Online Gaming’s stockholders vote to approve the Merger Agreement and the transaction.

 

The Board of Directors of DraftKings has also approved the transactions.

 

The transaction is subject to approval by Golden Nugget Online Gaming stockholders, the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022. The approval of the transaction by Golden Nugget Online Gaming stockholders is expected to be obtained through a written consent to be provided by Tilman Fertitta.
