Forward Looking Statements

The statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, known as the PSLRA. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the words "estimates," "projected," "expects," "anticipates," "forecasts," "plans," "intends," "believes," "seeks," "may," "will," "should," "future," "propose" and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside DraftKings' control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, DraftKings' expectations with respect to whether and when the Acquisition will be completed. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. These factors are outside DraftKings' control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could delay the closing of the Acquisition or result in the termination of the agreements to acquire GNOG, (2) changes in applicable laws or regulations, particularly with respect to gaming, gambling, sportsbooks, fantasy sports and other similar businesses; (3) the possibility that DraftKings may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors, (4) market and supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics, pandemics or similar public health events; and (5) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time relating to the Acquisition, including those identified in DraftKings' filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Readers should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see DraftKings' filings with the SEC. DraftKings undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
