PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 7, 2022
Up to 481,074,588 Ordinary Shares
Up to 11,000,000 Warrants
Super Group (SGHC) Limited
(a non-cellular company limited by shares incorporated and registered under the laws of the Island of Guernsey)
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders or their permitted transferees (collectively, the “selling securityholders”) of (i) up to 481,074,588 ordinary shares, no par value (including up to 11,000,000 ordinary shares that may be issued upon exercise of the private placement warrants) and (ii) up to 11,000,000 private placement warrants (as defined below). This prospectus also covers any additional securities that may become issuable by reason of share splits, share dividends or other similar transactions. Capitalized terms used in this Prospectus and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the “Frequently Used Terms.”
We are registering the offer and sale of the securities described above to satisfy certain registration rights we have granted. The selling securityholders may offer all or part of the securities for resale from time to time through public or private transactions, at either prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. Our ordinary shares and public warrants are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “SGHC” and “SGHC WS,” respectively. The last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on July 5, 2022 was $4.36 per share.
The selling securityholders acquired their securities at prices that are significantly less than the current trading price of our ordinary shares. Certain of the selling securityholders, referred to as the Founder Holders (including PJT Partners Holdings LP, through its economic interest in Sport Entertainment Acquisition Holdings LLC) paid an average price of approximately $0.002 per share for each ordinary share and $1.00 per private placement warrant for each warrant being offered by this prospectus. The other selling securityholders similarly acquired their ordinary shares at nominal prices.
These securities are being registered to permit the selling securityholders to sell securities from time to time, in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of offering. The selling securityholders may sell these securities through ordinary brokerage transactions, directly to market makers of our shares or through any other means described in the section titled “Plan of Distribution”. In connection with any sales of ordinary shares offered hereunder, the selling securityholders, any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers participating in such sales may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The ordinary shares being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus by the selling securityholders would represent approximately 98% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of May 31, 2022 (after giving effect to the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the selling securityholders). Given the substantial number of ordinary shares being registered for potential resale by selling securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, the sale of shares by the selling securityholders, or the perception in the market that the selling securityholders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our ordinary shares or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our ordinary shares. Even if our trading price is significantly below $10.00, the offering price for the units offered in the initial public offering of Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp., or SEAC, the purchasers of which exchanged their SEAC shares for our ordinary shares in the business combination described in this prospectus, the selling securityholders may still have an incentive to sell our ordinary shares because they purchased the shares at prices that are significantly lower than the purchase prices paid by our public investors or the current trading price of our ordinary shares. While the selling securityholders may experience a positive rate of return on their investment in our ordinary shares as a result, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in their purchase prices and the trading price. For example, based on the closing price of our ordinary shares of $4.36 as of July 5, 2022, the Founder Holders would experience a potential profit of up to approximately $4.36 per share, or up to approximately $86.0 million in the aggregate (after giving effect to the issuance of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants held by the Founder Holders). The other selling securityholders would similarly experience a profit of up to $4.36 per share or up to approximately $2.09 billion in the aggregate.
All of the securities offered by the selling securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the selling securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales, except with respect to amounts received by us upon exercise of warrants to the extent such warrants are exercised for cash. The exercise price of our outstanding warrants is $11.50 per share, which exceeds the trading price of our ordinary shares as of the date of this prospectus. If the trading price of our ordinary shares remains below the exercise price of the warrants, the warrants may never be exercised and we may never receive the cash proceeds of such exercises. We will pay certain expenses associated with the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, as described in the section titled “Plan of Distribution”.
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read this entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.
We are a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See, “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer.”
Our business and an investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 30 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus.
