Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 22, 2021 (the “Current Report”), Goal Acquisitions Corp. (the “Company”) consummated an initial public offering (the “ IPO”) of 22,500,000 units (the “Units”), consisting of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “ Common Shares”), and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $225,000,000. The Company granted the underwriter in the IPO, a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,375,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “IPO Private Placement”) with Goal Acquisitions Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor purchased 600,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”). The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Warrants underlying the Private Units are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
Subsequently, on February 23, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional 3,375,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on February 24, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $33,750,000. On February 24, 2021, simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 67,500 Private Units (the “Over-Allotment Private Units” and, together with the IPO Private Placement, the “Private Placements”), generating gross proceeds of $675,000.
The net proceeds from the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Units) together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placements, $258,750,000 in the aggregate (the “Offering Proceeds”), were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriter of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
A pro-forma balance sheet as of February 16, 2021 reflecting the exercise of the over-allotment option and Over-Allotment Private Placement is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
