EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends certain items of the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 8, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) relating to the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) of Iconic Sports Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following at the end thereof:

 

On December 19, 2022, Eagle Football Holdings Limited (“Eagle Football”), a London-based group with interests in English Premier League club, Crystal Palace, Brazilian Serie A club, Botafogo, and Belgian First Division B club, RWD Molenbeek, acquired a significant controlling stake in French Ligue 1 club, Olympique Lyonnais. In connection with such acquisition, an affiliate of the Reporting Person made a strategic $75 million equity investment in Eagle Football and entered into agreements with various parties including Eagle Football. Such agreements provide that the Issuer may enter into a business combination with Eagle Football for a valuation of approximately $1.2 billion. The Issuer is not a party to any of these agreements. There is no assurance that an agreement with respect to such transaction will be entered into, and even if entered into, that a transaction contemplated thereby would be consummated. Any such transaction would be subject to, among other things, (i) additional financing on acceptable terms; (ii) the approval of the board of the Issuer; (iii) the separate approval of the Issuer’s shareholders; (iv) the ability to satisfy the requirements of the SEC for the offering of securities and the solicitation of votes; (v) any regulatory approvals; and (vi) the satisfaction of continued stock exchange listing requirements.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 1 is incorporated by reference to this Item 6, which shall amend Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D to include such response at the end thereof.
