The closing of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below). The Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective. The transaction agreement relating to the Business Combination (the “Transaction Agreement”) and the Transaction are described in Horizon’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 22, 2021 and the Transaction Agreement is an exhibit to Horizon’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 26, 2021.

Shareholders of Horizon and other interested persons are encouraged to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the annexes thereto and the other documents to be filed with the SEC because these documents contain important information about Horizon, Vivid Seats and the Business Combination. Shareholders are able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and, once available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) under “Vivid Seats Inc.” (CIK: 0001856031).

After the Registration Statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of Horizon as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination.
