On December 28, 2021, Gregory A. Carlin notified the Executive Chairman of Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) of his resignation as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and from any other offices, committees or positions that he holds, effective as of December 28, 2021.

In accordance with the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, its Amended and Restated Bylaws and that certain Investor Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the previously announced business combination that completed on December 29, 2020, the vacancy on the Board and Compensation Committee of the Board resulting from Mr. Carlin’s resignation will remain unfilled until such time as a new director is identified and appointed.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
