Genius Sports Limited Announces the Reduced Exercise Price in the Previously Announced Consent Solicitation

Genius Sports Limited announced the Reduced Exercise Price and Automatic Exercise Price  in connection with its previously announced offer to exercise, and solicitation of consents relating to, the Company’s outstanding warrants.

Pursuant to a notice circulated to warrant holders on December 20, 2022, the Company notified warrant holders that the exercise price of the warrants would be lowered until the termination of the period during which the offer to exercise and consent solicitation is open (the “expiration date”) from $11.50 to an exercise price that is 74% of the volume-weighted average price of the ordinary shares for the one-trading day period on the New York Stock Exchange on January 17, 2023 (the “Reduced Exercise Price”).

The Reduced Exercise Price of the warrants is $3.1816. Holders of warrants that exercise their warrants on a cashless basis at the Reduced Exercise Price prior to the expiration date will receive 0.260 ordinary shares for each warrant exercised by such holder.

Pursuant to the consent solicitation, the Company’s Warrant Agreement will be amended so that any warrants not exercised by a holder thereof on or prior to the expiration date shall be exercised automatically on the holder’s behalf on the first trading day following the expiration date on a cashless basis at the exercise price that is 76.6% of the volume-weighted average price of the ordinary shares for the one-trading day period on the New York Stock Exchange on January 17, 2023 (the “Automatic Exercise Price”).

Therefore, if the consent solicitation is successful, the warrant holders who do not elect to exercise their warrants on or prior to the expiration date will have their warrants exercised at the Automatic Exercise Price of $3.2933. This will result in such holders receiving 0.234 ordinary shares per warrant, which is 10% less than the number of ordinary shares per warrant to be received by holders that exercise cashlessly at the Reduced Exercise Price on or prior to the expiration date.

If the Warrant Amendment is not approved and such condition is not waived, the warrants will retain their current terms and any exercises of warrants by holders at the Reduced Exercise Price will not be consummated and holders will be returned their warrants. The warrants currently have an exercise price of $11.50 per ordinary share and expire on April 20, 2026, subject to certain t*******************.
