Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 14, 2019, Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 40,000,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 5,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-third 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 for $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.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-230815) for the IPO, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 11, 2019 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”):

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,333,334 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Eagle Equity Partners, LLC and Harry E. Sloan at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $9,500,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by Eagle Equity Partners, LLC and Harry E. Sloan or their permitted transferees, (i) are not redeemable by the Company for cash, (ii) may not (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of such Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by such holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 10, 2019, in connection with the IPO, Joshua Kazam and Fredric Rosen were appointed to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Messrs. Kazam and Rosen are independent directors.

Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to fund its working capital expenses (subject to an annual limit of $250,000) and/or to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold in the IPO (“public shares”) properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Amended Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
