This Amendment No. 6 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Genius Sports Limited, incorporated under the laws of Guernsey as a non-cellular company limited by shares (the “Company,” “us” or “we”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 18, 2022 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”), and relates to the Company’s offer to the holders of its outstanding warrants to exercise their warrants on the terms set forth in the amended notice to warrant holders issued on December 20, 2022 and consent (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2020, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), and dMY Technology Group, Inc. II (“dMY”), which was assumed by the Company pursuant to that certain Warrant Assumption Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2021, by and among the Company, dMY and the Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agreement”).

The Warrant Agreement is amended so that any warrants not exercised by a holder thereof on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 19, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”), shall be exercised automatically on the holder’s behalf on the first trading day following the Expiration Date on a cashless basis at an exercise price that is 76.6% of the volume-weighted average price of the ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “ordinary shares”), for the one-trading day period on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the second trading day prior to the Expiration Date, which was January 17, 2023. This results in such holders receiving 0.234 ordinary shares per warrant, which is 10% less than the number of ordinary shares per warrant to be received by holders that exercise cashlessly at an exercise price that is 74% of the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares for the one trading day period on the NYSE on the second trading day prior to the Expiration Date, which was January 17, 2023, (the “Reduced Exercise Price”) on or prior to the Expiration Date (the “Warrant Amendment”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus that is included in Amendment No. 3 to the registration statement on Form F-4 filed on January 6, 2023 (the “Prospectus”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(A).

The purpose of this Amendment is to amend and supplement the Schedule TO to (i) update Item 11 of the Schedule TO to report the final results of the Consent Solicitation, and (ii) update Item 12 of the Schedule TO to (a) include the final Prospectus, dated January 19, 2023, which forms part of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (“Registration Statement”) declared effective by the SEC on January 18, 2023 and (b) a press release issued by the Company on January 20, 2023, announcing the results of the Consent Solicitation and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Item 11. Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

“The offer to exercise and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 19, 2023.

The Company has been advised that holders of 6,834,991 warrants, or approximately 89.13% of the outstanding warrants, elected to exercise such warrants prior to the expiration date (including holders of 2,149,000 warrants that elected to exercise such warrants on a cash basis). Holders of warrants that were validly exercised prior to the expiration date will receive 0.260 ordinary shares in exchange for each warrant exercised on a cashless basis and one ordinary share in exchange for each warrant exercised on a cash basis. The Company expects to accept all exercised warrants on January 20, 2023.

In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the consent of approximately 89.13% of the outstanding warrants to amend the warrant agreement that governs the warrants, which exceeds the 50% of the outstanding warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment. The Company executed the Warrant Amendment and, therefore, any warrants not exercised by a holder thereof on or prior to the expiration date shall be exercised automatically on a cashless basis on the holder’s behalf, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, at an exercise price of $3.2933, resulting in such holders receiving 0.234 ordinary shares per warrant. Following such automatic exercise on the date hereof, none of the Company’s public warrants will remain outstanding and the warrants will cease trading on the NYSE. The ordinary shares will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE under the symbol “GENI.” Following completion of the Consent Solicitation, there will be approximately 210,180,893 ordinary shares outstanding (an increase of approximately 1.72% from prior to the closing of the offer to exercise and Consent Solicitation).1

 

 

1 

Number of ordinary shares outstanding excludes approximately 4,105,949 ordinary shares held as treasury shares by a subsidiary of the Company.

 

2


On January 20, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the final results of the Consent Solicitation as set forth above. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(F) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.”
