The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors or to DraftKings’ SEC filings. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of DraftKings, GNOG or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, known as the PSLRA. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and GNOG’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Acquisition, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Acquisition and the timing of the completion of the Acquisition. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s and GNOG’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and GNOG following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (2) the inability to complete the Acquisition, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company, approvals or other determinations from certain gaming regulatory authorities, or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq following the Acquisition; (5) the risk that the Acquisition disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Acquisition; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Acquisition; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations, particularly with respect to gaming, gambling, sportsbooks, fantasy sports and other similar businesses; (9) the possibility that the Company, GNOG or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (10) market and supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics, pandemics or similar public health events; and (11) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the information/prospectus relating to the Acquisition, including those under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
