On August 21, 2018, Landcadia Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) to Fertitta Entertainment, Inc. (“FEI Sponsor”) that provides for FEI Sponsor to advance to the Company, from time to time, up to $1,500,000 for ongoing expenses.
The Convertible Note is non-interest bearing and is payable on the earlier of (i) the completion of an initial business combination by the Company or (ii) December 14, 2018.
At the option of FEI Sponsor, any amounts outstanding under the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants to purchase Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A common stock”) at a conversion price of $0.50 per warrant. Each warrant will entitle FEI Sponsor to purchase one-half of one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per half share, commencing 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination by the Company. The warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. Each warrant will contain such other terms identical to the warrants purchased by FEI Sponsor and Jefferies Financial Group Inc.
