Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on October 13, 2021, RedBall Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“RedBall”), entered into the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), with Showstop Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of RedBall (“Merger Sub One”), Showstop Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of RedBall (“Merger Sub Two”), and SeatGeek, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SeatGeek”). The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (a) RedBall will domesticate as a Delaware corporation, (b) Merger Sub One will then merge with and into SeatGeek, with SeatGeek continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”), and (c) SeatGeek, as the surviving corporation, will then merge with and into Merger Sub Two, with Merger Sub Two continuing as the surviving entity (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Thereafter RedBall’s name will be changed to “SeatGeek, Inc.” and for purposes of this Current Report on Form 8-K, RedBall, after completion of the Business Combination, is referred to as “New SeatGeek”. Upon the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), among other things, all warrants, options for purchase and restricted stock for shares of SeatGeek common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Merger will be assumed or converted, as applicable, into warrants, options to purchase and restricted stock for a certain number of shares of New SeatGeek common stock determined based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The exchange ratio is based on the per share merger consideration value, which is the quotient of $1.2816 billion divided by SeatGeek fully diluted shares outstanding (subject to certain exceptions). In addition, holders of SeatGeek warrants, options and restricted stock will have a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of earnout securities (consisting of up to 35 million shares of New SeatGeek common stock (or restricted stock units with respect to New SeatGeek common stock, as applicable) (the “SeatGeek Earnout Securities”)).

On December 12, 2021, RedBall, Merger Sub One, Merger Sub Two and SeatGeek entered into the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “First Amendment”) amending the Business Combination Agreement to reflect the treatment of restricted stock units with respect to SeatGeek common stock (“SeatGeek RSUs”) in the Business Combination. Pursuant to the First Amendment, upon the First Effective Time, all


SeatGeek RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into restricted stock units with respect to a certain number of shares of New SeatGeek common stock determined based on the exchange ratio and such holders will have a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the SeatGeek Earnout Securities. The First Amendment includes corresponding changes to definitions, including with respect to SeatGeek fully-diluted shares outstanding, SeatGeek’s representation and warranty on capitalization and other related provisions to reflect the treatment of SeatGeek RSUs.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Important Additional Information and Where to Find It

RedBall has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (“Registration Statement”) with the SEC, which includes a proxy statement/prospectus of RedBall, which will be both the proxy statement to be distributed to holders of RedBall’s ordinary shares in connection with its solicitation of proxies for the vote by RedBall’s shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination and other matters as may be described in the Registration Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued in the business combination to SeatGeek stockholders. After the Registration Statement is declared effective, RedBall will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus to the shareholders of RedBall as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed business combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed business combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision with respect to the business combination. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of RedBall and other interested persons are urged to carefully read the entire Registration Statement, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when they each become available, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents, because they will contain important information about the proposed business combination. The documents filed by RedBall with the SEC may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed by RedBall may be obtained free of charge from RedBall at www.redballac.com.

RedBall and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of RedBall with respect to the proposed business combination.

To the extent such holdings of RedBall’s securities may have changed since that time, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those participants and other persons who may be deemed participants in the transaction may be obtained by reading the Registration Statement and proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents when they become available.

SeatGeek and its directors and executive officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of RedBall in connection with the proposed business combination.

7.    Section 3.6(c). Section 3.6(c) of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(c)

(i)     Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.3(b) to the contrary, to the extent that any portion of the Earnout Shares that would otherwise be issued to a Company Optionholder hereunder relates to a Company Option exchanged for an Exchanged Option that remains unvested as of the date on which such Earnout is achieved (each such Exchanged Option, an “Unvested Exchanged Option”), then in lieu of issuing the Company Optionholder’s Earnout Pro Rata Portion of the Earnout Shares to such Company Optionholder, Parent shall instead issue, as soon as practicable following the later of (i) the occurrence of such Earnout and (ii) Parent’s filing of a Form S-8 Registration Statement, to each holder of an Unvested Exchanged Option, an award of Earnout RSUs for a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Earnout Pro Rata Portion of the Earnout Shares issuable with respect to the Unvested Exchanged Option. A holder of an Unvested Exchanged Option shall only be granted Earnout RSUs if such holder remains in continuous service to Parent, the Company Group or one of their respective Subsidiaries as of the date on which the applicable Earnout is achieved and the applicable grant date of the Earnout RSUs. Such Earnout RSUs shall vest in equal amounts (or as close as possible, with any excess shares vesting on the last vesting date) over the remaining vesting schedule of the applicable Unvested Exchanged Option and shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as applied to the applicable Unvested Exchanged Option.

(ii)     Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.3(b) to the contrary, to the extent that any portion of the Earnout Shares that would otherwise be issued to a holder of Company RSUs hereunder relates to a Company RSU exchanged for an Exchanged RSU that remains unvested as of the date on which such Earnout is achieved (each such Exchanged RSU, an “Unvested Exchanged RSU”), then in lieu of issuing the Earnout Pro Rata Portion of the Earnout Shares to such holder of Company RSUs, Parent shall instead issue, as soon as practicable following the later of (i) the occurrence of such Earnout and (ii) Parent’s filing of a Form S-8 Registration Statement, to each holder of an Unvested Exchanged RSU, an award of Earnout RSUs for a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Earnout Pro Rata Portion of the Earnout Shares issuable with respect to the Unvested Exchanged RSU. A holder of an Unvested Exchanged RSU shall only be granted Earnout RSUs if such holder remains in continuous service to Parent, the Company Group or one of their respective Subsidiaries as of the date on which the applicable Earnout is achieved and the applicable grant date of the Earnout RSUs. Such Earnout RSUs shall vest in equal amounts (or as close as possible, with any excess shares vesting on the last vesting date) over the remaining vesting schedule of the applicable Unvested Exchanged RSU and shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as applied to the applicable Unvested Exchanged RSU. All Earnout RSUs to be issued hereunder shall be issued under and pursuant to the terms of the
