Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 5, 2017, Leisure Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one-half of one warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 6,825,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to MLCP GLL Funding LLC, an affiliate of Matthews Lane Capital Partners LLC (the “Matthews Lane Sponsor”), Hydra LAC, LLC, an affiliate of Hydra Management, LLC (the “Hydra Sponsor,” and together with the Matthews Lane Sponsor, the “Sponsors”), HG Vora Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd. (“HG Vora”) and certain members of the Company’s management team (collectively, the “Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,825,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except that the Purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Private Placement Warrants are also not redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Purchasers or their permitted transferees.
A total of $200,000,000, comprised of $196,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, including approximately $7,000,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount, and $4,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, the proceeds from the IPO will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO and (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if it is unable to complete its business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
On December 1, 2017, in connection with the IPO, the Company filed its previously approved Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and entered into the following agreements previously filed as exhibits to the Company registration statement (File No. 333-221330):
