Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on October 13, 2020, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 40,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $400,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 6,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 14, 2020, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and on October 15, 2020, purchased an additional 5,000,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000.
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 10,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Sports Entertainment Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and PJT Partners Holdings LP (“PJT”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000,000. In connection with the Underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor and PJT purchased an additional 944,444 and 55,556 Private Placement Warrants, respectively, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000.
In connection with the closing and sale of the Over-Allotment Units and 1,000,000 additional Private Placement Warrants (together, the “Over-Allotment Closing”), a total of $50,000,000 comprised of $49,000,000 of the proceeds from the closing and sale of the Over-Allotment Units (which amount includes $1,750,000 of the Underwriters’ deferred discount) and $1,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the additional 1,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. As a result of the Underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor forfeited 250,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share.
An audited balance sheet as of October 6, 2020 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and previously filed as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 13, 2020. The Company’s unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of October 6, 2020, adjusted for the Over-Allotment Closing on October 15, 2020 is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
