Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

From July 2020 to June 2021, the Reporting Persons acquired ordinary shares of SGHC Limited, a non-cellular company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Island of Guernsey (after the Closing (as defined below), “Legacy SuperGroup”) in a series of transactions. Certain of the shares were acquired as founders shares of Legacy SuperGroup for nominal value, with additional shares received in consideration for the sale of interests in three operating companies to Legacy SuperGroup and in consideration for the novation of certain indebtedness owed by Legacy SuperGroup.

 

On January 27, 2022, pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2021, (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SEAC”), Legacy SuperGroup, the Issuer, Super Group (SGHC) Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and Sports Entertainment Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), Legacy SuperGroup underwent a pre-closing reorganization (the “Reorganization”) during which all issued ordinary shares of Legacy SuperGroup were exchanged for newly issued Ordinary Shares of the Issuer at an agreed upon ratio. Subsequent to the Reorganization, Merger Sub merged with and into SEAC, with SEAC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), each issued and outstanding share of SEAC Class A common stock, was converted into the right to receive one Ordinary Share of the Issuer and each issued and outstanding SEAC warrant to purchase a share of SEAC Class A common stock become exercisable for one Ordinary Share of the Issuer.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the ordinary shares of Legacy SuperGroup beneficially held by the Reporting Persons were converted into an aggregate of 98,401,158 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Chivers is eligible to receive additional Ordinary Shares of the Issuer pursuant to certain earn-out rights, as described in more detail in Item 6 below.

The Reporting Persons purchased the aforementioned securities for investment purposes with the aim of increasing the value of their investments and the Issuer. Subject to applicable legal requirements, one or more of the Reporting Persons may purchase additional securities of the Issuer from time to time in open market or private transactions, depending on its evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuer’s securities, other developments concerning the Issuer, the reaction of the Issuer to the Reporting Persons’ ownership of the Issuer’s securities, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and general economic, money market and stock market conditions. In addition, depending upon the factors referred to above, the Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion of their securities of the Issuer at any time. Each of the Reporting Persons reserve the right to increase or decrease its holdings on such terms and at such times as each may decide.

The Reporting Persons also retain the right to change their investment intent at any time, to acquire additional Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer from time to time, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them (or any Ordinary Shares into which such securities are converted) in any manner permitted by law.
