Corporate Information Overview
DraftKings Holdings Inc. (formerly DraftKings Inc.) (“DraftKings
Holdings”) was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2019 as DEAC NV Merger Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of our legal predecessor,
Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp. (“DEAC”), a special purpose acquisition company. On April 23, 2020, DEAC consummated
the transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement, dated December 22, 2019, as amended on April 7, 2020, and
in connection therewith, DraftKings Holdings survived the merger and became a public company and the successor issuer to DEAC. On May 5,
2022, DraftKings Holdings consummated the acquisition of Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GNOG”),
pursuant to a definitive agreement and plan of merger, dated August 9, 2021, in an all-stock transaction (the “GNOG Transaction”).
In connection with the GNOG Transaction, DraftKings Holdings undertook a holding company reorganization where New Duke Holdco, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation, became the going-forward public company of both DraftKings Holdings and GNOG. New Duke Holdco, Inc. was renamed
DraftKings Inc., which is the issuer of the Class A common stock offered hereby. DraftKings’ principal executive offices are
located at 222 Berkeley Street, 5th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. DraftKings’ telephone number is (617) 986-6744, and its
website address is www.draftkings.com. Information contained on DraftKings’ website or connected thereto is provided for textual
reference only and does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or any applicable prospectus
supplement.

carefully consider the risks and uncertainties included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, including as
discussed the caption “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and
assumptions discussed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our 2023 Annual Report, as amended and supplemented by subsequently
filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. For more information, see the information provided under
the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.” The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part
of your investment in the Class A common stock offered hereby. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we now believe
are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and financial condition.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock by the selling stockholders. The selling
stockholders will pay all selling expenses (including any broker’s fees or commissions) or fees or expenses of outside counsel or
independent accountants of any selling stockholder. We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the registration of shares of
Class A common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including all fees of the SEC, blue sky registration and filing fees, listing
notices and filing fees, printing fees and expenses, transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and expenses and all fees and expenses
of our outside counsel and independent registered public accounting firm; provided that we are not responsible for, to the extent incurred
prior to closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), expenses incurred by Jackpocket
in connection with the Registration Statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus forms a part.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus supplement relates to the possible resale by certain
of the selling stockholders from time to time of up to an aggregate of 7,507,817 shares of Class A common stock.
On February 11, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant
to which on May 22, 2024, we issued 7,507,817 shares of Class A common stock as partial consideration in connection with the
completion of the acquisition of Jackpocket. We issued the shares of Class A common stock in reliance upon the exemption from registration
afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). In accordance with our obligations under the Merger Agreement, we agreed to register the resale of the shares of Class A
common stock offered by the selling stockholders hereby. The following table sets forth information concerning the shares of Class A
common stock that may be offered from time to time by each selling stockholder. The number of shares beneficially owned by each selling
stockholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which
a selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Percentage ownership is based on 484,621,538 shares of Class A
common stock outstanding as of May 31, 2024, which includes the 7,507,817 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to
the Merger Agreement and covered by this prospectus supplement. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the selling stockholders
will have sold all of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus supplement upon the completion of the offering.
Each of the selling stockholders listed has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the selling
stockholders unless noted otherwise.
Certain of the shares of Class A common stock set forth below
are subject to the Lock-Up (as defined in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled, “Plan of Distribution”).
The information in the following table has been provided to us by or
on behalf of the selling stockholders and has not been independently verified by us. The “selling stockholders” include the
selling stockholders listed below and their respective donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest. We may amend or
supplement this prospectus supplement from time to time in the future to update or change this list of selling stockholders and securities
which may be offered and sold to identify such donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest. The registration of these
securities does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of such securities. In addition, the selling
stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from
time to time, Class A common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date
on which they provided the information set forth in the table below. See the section of this prospectus supplement entitled, “Plan
of Distribution.”

If underwriters are used in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the shares for their own account. These sales may be at a fixed price
or varying prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices
or at negotiated prices. The Class A common stock may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing
underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Class A common stock will
be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Class A common stock offered if any of the
Class A common stock is purchased.
Subject to the Lock-Up described below, selling
stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus
supplement:
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant
to this prospectus supplement; |
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Class A common stock
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| · | an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of NASDAQ; |
| · | through trading plans entered into by a selling stockholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange
Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus that provide for
periodic sales of their Class A common stock on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans; |
| · | through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; |
| · | settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus supplement; |
| · | agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of the Class A common stock at a stipulated
price per share; |
| · | in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated
prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly
on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales
agents; |
| · | directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately
negotiated transactions; |
| · | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise; or |
| · | through a combination of any of the above methods of sale or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law. |
There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders
will sell all or any of the Class A common stock offered by this prospectus supplement. In addition, the selling stockholders may
also sell Class A common stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration,
rather than under this prospectus supplement. The selling stockholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase
offer or make any sale of Class A common stock if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the
shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus supplement in other circumstances permitted by the Merger Agreement, subject
to the Lock-Up described below, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial
owners for purposes of this prospectus supplement. Upon fifteen (15) days’ notice in writing by Shareholder Representative Services
LLC, we will, to the extent required by the Merger Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to file an amendment or supplement,
as appropriate, to this prospectus supplement to include the Class A common stock offered by this prospectus supplement held by such
person; provided that we will only be required to file two (2) such amendments or supplements.
Pursuant to support agreements entered into by
the selling stockholders in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, each selling stockholder has
agreed that through the date that is six (6) months following the Closing, such selling stockholder will not (i) directly or
indirectly offer, sell, lease, assign, convey, encumber, loan, pledge, grant a security interest, hypothecate, dispose or similarly transfer
(by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntarily or involuntarily, or enter into contract, option or other arrangement or understanding
with respect to any of the foregoing, including in each case through the transfer of any person or any interest in any person, (A) fifty
percent (50%) of the Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock underlying options) issued to such selling
stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the case of certain institutional selling stockholders, and (B) any of the Class A
common stock (including shares of Class A common stock underlying options) issued to such selling stockholder pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, in the case of certain non-institutional selling stockholders (such shares referred to in clauses (A) and (B), the “Lock-Up
Shares”) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that hedges or transfers,
in whole or in part, the economic consequences of the Lock-Up Shares, whether any such swap, agreement, transaction or series of transactions
is to be settled by delivery of Class A common stock, in cash or otherwise (such restrictions, the “Lock-Up”).
In connection with distributions of the Class A
common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may, subject to the Lock-Up, enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short
sales of the Class A common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders
may also, subject to the Lock-Up, sell the Class A common stock short and redeliver the Class A common stock to close out such
short positions. The selling stockholders may also, subject to the Lock-Up, enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Class A common
stock offered by this prospectus supplement, which Class A common stock such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell
pursuant to this prospectus supplement (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders may also, subject
to the Lock-Up, pledge Class A common stock to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer
or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement (as supplemented
or amended to reflect such transaction).
Subject to the Lock-Up, a selling stockholder
may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell Class A common stock not covered by this prospectus supplement
to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives,
the third parties may sell Class A common stock covered by this prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so,
the third party may use Class A common stock pledged by any selling stockholder or borrowed from any selling stockholder or others
to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use Class A common stock received from any selling
stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions
will be an underwriter and will be identified in any applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, subject to the Lock-Up, any selling
stockholder may otherwise loan or pledge Class A common stock to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell
the Class A common stock short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short
position to investors in our Class A common stock or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged
by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts
or concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
If at the time of any offering made under this
prospectus supplement a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) participating in the offering has
a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121 (“Rule 5121”), that offering will be conducted
in accordance with the relevant provisions of Rule 5121.
In offering the Class A common stock covered
by this prospectus supplement, the selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the selling
stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any
discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of such Class A common stock may be underwriting discounts
and commissions under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the selling
stockholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the Class A common stock by the selling stockholders.
The underwriters, broker-dealers and agents may
engage in transactions with us or the selling stockholders, or perform services for us or the selling stockholders, in the ordinary course
of business.
In order to comply with the securities laws of
certain states, if applicable, the Class A common stock must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers. In addition, in certain states the Class A common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified
for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
The selling stockholders and any other persons
participating in the sale or distribution of the Class A common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions
may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Class A common stock by, the selling
stockholders or any other person, which limitations may affect the marketability of the shares of the Class A common stock.
We will make copies of this prospectus supplement
available to the selling stockholders upon request for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any agent, broker-dealer or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale
of the Class A common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law. Agents,
broker-dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us and the selling stockholders against certain civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents, broker-dealers or underwriters
may be required to make in respect thereof.

Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus, the documents incorporated herein and any applicable
prospectus supplement contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws that reflect future plans, estimates,
beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements depend upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of our
control. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “forecast,” “propose,”
and similar expressions or the negative of these words may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not
mean that a statement is not forward-looking. You are cautioned that our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and, consequently, our actual results may differ materially from those projected.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, those identified below and the specific factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the
applicable prospectus supplement, together with all the other information contained in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated
by reference into this prospectus. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements.
| · | factors relating to our business, operations and financial performance, including: |
| · | our ability to effectively compete in the global entertainment and gaming industries; |
| · | our ability to successfully acquire and integrate new operations; |
| · | our ability to obtain and maintain licenses with gaming authorities; |
| · | our inability to recognize deferred tax assets and tax loss carryforwards; |
| · | market and global conditions and economic factors beyond our control, as well as the potential impact of general economic conditions,
including inflation and rising interest rates, on our liquidity, operations and personnel; |
| · | significant competition and competitive pressures from other companies worldwide in the industries in which we operate; |
| · | our ability to raise financing in the future; |
| · | our success in retaining or recruiting officers, key employees or directors; and |
| · | litigation and the ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights. |
The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Due to the uncertain
nature of these factors, management cannot assess the impact of each factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination
of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained
in our 2023 Annual Report, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings.
All cautionary statements made or referred to herein should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they
appear. You should consider the risks and uncertainties described or referred to herein and should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such
statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any of these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after
the date of this prospectus, except as required by applicable law. New factors may emerge and it is not possible to predict all factors
that may affect our business and prospects.

with respect to any outstanding indebtedness), on the declaration and payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred
stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over, or the right to participate with, our Class A common stock with respect
to the payment of dividends.

Each share of our Class B common stock will be (1) automatically
canceled for no consideration in the event that shares of our Class A common stock that are then held by Permitted Class B Owners
(including without limitation all shares of Class A common stock that are the subject of unvested stock options or other equity awards
awarded to Mr. Robins) represent less than 33% of Base Class A Shares (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) and (2) subject
to cancelation by DraftKings (without consideration) one year after the date that both of the following conditions apply, which we refer
to as the “Founder Termination Anniversary Date”: (a) the earliest to occur of (i) Mr. Robins’
employment as Chief Executive Officer of DraftKings being terminated due to termination of employment for Cause or due to death or Permanent
Disability (each as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) and (ii) Mr. Robins resigns (other than for Good Reason (as defined
in the Articles of Incorporation)) as the Chief Executive Officer of DraftKings and (b) either (i) Mr. Robins no longer
serves as a member of the Board or (ii) Mr. Robins’ service to DraftKings is not his primary business occupation. In the
event that Mr. Robins is reinstated as the Chief Executive Officer of DraftKings or is reelected or reappointed to serve as a member
of the Board prior to the Founder Termination Anniversary Date, each of which we refer to as a “Reset Event,” then the shares
of Class B common stock will not be canceled pursuant to clause (2) unless and until the one-year anniversary of the date that
both of the foregoing conditions are subsequently met; provided that in the event of a subsequent Reset Event, the next Founder Termination
Anniversary Date will extend until the one-year anniversary of the date that both of the foregoing conditions are subsequently met without
a Reset Event occurring prior to such anniversary.
Other Matters
No shares of our Class B common stock are subject to redemption
(except as described below under “— Redemption Rights and Transfer Restrictions with Respect to Capital Stock Held by
Unsuitable Persons and Their Affiliates”) or have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of Class B common stock.
Holders of shares of our Class B common stock do not have subscription, redemption or conversion rights. All outstanding shares of
our Class B common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
The Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board has the authority,
without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, and the number
of shares constituting any such class or series, and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and
relative rights of each class or series of preferred stock, including, without limitation, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion
rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, dissolution preferences, and treatment in the case of a merger,
business combination transaction, or sale of our assets, which rights may be greater than the rights of the holders of our common stock.
There are no shares of DraftKings preferred stock outstanding.
The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock and determine
the rights and preferences of any classes or series of preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific
issuances. The simplified issuance of our preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future
financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage
a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Additionally, the issuance of our preferred stock may
adversely affect the holders of our Class A common stock including by restricting dividends on the Class A common stock, diluting
the voting power of the Class A common stock or subordinating the dividend or liquidation rights of the Class A common stock.
As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of our preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of our Class A
common stock.
Warrants
Our private placement warrants (including our Class A common stock
issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) are not redeemable by us for cash so long as such warrants are held by the initial
purchasers or holders thereof (the “initial warrantholders”) or their permitted transferees. The initial warrantholders of
the private placement warrants, or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless
basis. The private placement warrants may be redeemed for shares of our Class A common stock. If the private placement warrants are
held by holders other than the initial warrantholders thereof or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants are redeemable
by DraftKings and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in DEAC’s initial
public offering or the initial public offering of Landcadia Holdings II, Inc., which was the predecessor to GNOG.
The private placement warrants are required to be exercised on a cashless
basis in the event of a redemption of such warrants pursuant to the warrant agreement governing the warrants in which our Board has elected
to require all holders of the warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In such event, such holders of exercised
warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of our Class A common stock equal
to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of our Class A common stock underlying the warrants,
multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the shares of our Class A common stock over the exercise price
of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of our Class A
common stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption
is sent to the holders of warrants or the warrant agent, as applicable. The notice of redemption will contain the information necessary
to calculate the number of shares of our Class A common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair
market value” in such case.
Exclusive Forum
The Articles of Incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, unless we otherwise consent in writing, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada (or if the Eighth Judicial
District Court of Clark County, Nevada does not have jurisdiction, any other state district court located in the State of Nevada, and
if no state district court in the State of Nevada has jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Nevada) is the exclusive
forum for any action or proceeding brought in the name or right of DraftKings or on its behalf, any action asserting a claim for breach
of any fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of DraftKings to DraftKings or its stockholders, any action asserting
a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) Chapters 78 or 92A, our Articles of Incorporation
or our Bylaws, any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws or any
action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The exclusive forum provision provides federal courts located in the
State of Nevada as the forum for suits brought to enforce any duty or liability for which Section 27 of the Exchange Act establishes
exclusive jurisdiction with the federal courts or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation,
the Bylaws and Applicable Law
Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, our Bylaws and
laws of the State of Nevada, where DraftKings is incorporated, may discourage or make more difficult a takeover attempt that a DraftKings
stockholder might consider in his or her best interest. These provisions may also adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common
stock. We believe that the benefits of increased protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unsolicited
proposal to acquire or restructure DraftKings and outweigh the disadvantage of discouraging those proposals because negotiation of the
proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
The authorized but unissued shares of our Class A common stock,
Class B common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations
imposed by the listing standards of the NASDAQ. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions
and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult
or discourage an attempt to obtain control of DraftKings by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Dual Class Stock
As described above in “— DraftKings Common Stock — Class A
Common Stock — Voting Rights” and “— DraftKings Common Stock — Class B
Common Stock — Voting Rights,” our Articles of Incorporation provide for a dual class common
stock structure, which provides Mr. Robins with the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring DraftKings stockholder approval,
even though he owns significantly less than a majority of the shares of outstanding Class A common stock, including the election
of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of DraftKings or its assets.
Number of Directors
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that, subject to any
rights of holders of our preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors may be fixed
from time to time pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board or, from and after the time that Mr. Robins beneficially owns less
than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, may be modified by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of
the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. The number of directors is currently fixed at ten.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings,
Nominations and Proposals
The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to DraftKings
stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of
the Board or a committee of the Board. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a DraftKings stockholder
has to comply with advance notice requirements and provide DraftKings with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s
notice must be received at DraftKings’ principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior
to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. The Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content
of a stockholder’s notice. At a meeting of the stockholders, the Bylaws allow the chairman of the meeting to adopt rules, regulations
and procedures for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the
rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting
a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control
of DraftKings.
Limitations on Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Nevada law permits stockholder action by written consent unless the
corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise. Pursuant to Section 78.320 of the NRS, any action required
to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, if, before or after the action, a written
consent to such action is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having at least a majority of the voting power of all classes entitled
to vote, or such different proportion that would be required for such an action at a meeting of the stockholders. Our Articles of Incorporation
provide that stockholder action by written consent is permitted so long as Mr. Robins beneficially owns a majority of the voting
power of the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock. Once Mr. Robins no longer beneficially owns a majority of the voting power
of the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock, all stockholder actions must be taken at a meeting of our stockholders.
Amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws
Nevada law provides generally that a resolution of the board of directors
is required to propose an amendment to a corporation’s articles of incorporation and that the amendment must be approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of all classes entitled to vote, as well as a majority of any class adversely affected.
Nevada law also provides that the corporation’s bylaws, including any bylaws adopted by its stockholders, may be amended by the
board of directors and that the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws may be granted exclusively to the directors in the corporation’s
articles of incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, amendments to the
articles of our Articles of Incorporation governing the Board, stockholder matters, liability, transactions with stockholders, directors
and officers, exclusive forum, amendment, corporate opportunities and unsuitable persons must be approved by (1) a majority of the
combined voting power of all shares of our capital stock entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, so long as shares representing
a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote are beneficially owned by Mr. Robins
or (2) two-thirds of the combined voting power of all shares entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, thereafter. With
respect to all other articles of our Articles of Incorporation, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, DraftKings reserves
the right to amend such articles in a manner prescribed in the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the NRS. Our Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws provide that the Bylaws may be amended or repealed by either the Board or by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing
a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote, while Mr. Robins beneficially
owns shares representing at least a majority of the voting power of our capital stock, or, thereafter, by the affirmative vote of stockholders
representing at least two-thirds or more of the voting power of our capital stock.
Business Combinations
The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411
to 78.444, inclusive, of the NRS generally prohibit a publicly traded Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders of record from
engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of up to four years after
the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the combination or transaction was approved by
the board of directors before such person became an interested stockholder or the combination is approved by the board of directors, if
within two years after the date in which the person became an interested stockholder, and is approved at a meeting of the stockholders
by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% (for a combination within two years after becoming an interested
stockholder) or a majority (for combinations between two and four years thereafter) of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested
stockholders. Alternatively, a corporation may engage in a combination with an interested stockholder more than two years after such
person becomes an interested stockholder if:
| · | the consideration to be paid to the holders of the corporation’s stock, other than the interested stockholder, is at least equal
to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding
the date of the announcement of the combination or the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher,
plus interest compounded annually, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination
or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, less certain dividends paid or (c) for holders of
preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher; and |
| · | the interested stockholder has not become the owner of any additional voting shares since the date of becoming an interested stockholder
except by certain permitted transactions. |
A “combination” is generally defined to include (i) mergers
or consolidations with the “interested stockholder” or an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder, (ii) any
sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of assets of the corporation, in one transaction or a series of
transactions, to or with the interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder: (a) having an aggregate
market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) having an aggregate market value
equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation or (c) representing more than 10%
of the earning power or net income (determined on a consolidated basis) of the corporation, (iii) any issuance or transfer of securities
to the interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder, in one transaction or a series of transactions,
having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation
(other than under the exercise of warrants or rights to purchase shares offered, or a dividend or distribution made pro rata to all
stockholders of the corporation), (iv) adoption of a plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the corporation with the
interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder and (v) certain other transactions having the effect
of increasing the proportionate share of voting securities beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate
of the interested stockholder.
In general, an “interested stockholder” means any person
who (i) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation,
or (ii) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation that beneficially owned, within two years prior to the date in question,
10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation.
We have opted out of these provisions in our Articles of Incorporation
until Mr. Robins ceases to beneficially own shares of our common stock representing at least 15% of our outstanding voting stock.
Control Share Acquisitions
The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378
to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations doing business, directly or
through an affiliate, in Nevada, and having at least 200 stockholders of record, including at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada
appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting
its “control shares” of an issuing corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages,
unless the acquirer obtains approval of a majority of the voting power of the issuing corporation’s disinterested stockholders at
a meeting, or unless the issuing corporation amends its articles of incorporation or bylaws within 10 days of the acquisition. The
statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more,
of the outstanding voting power of a corporation. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the foregoing thresholds, those shares that
the acquirer, or persons acting in association with the acquiring person, acquired in an “acquisition” (as defined in the
NRS) or offered to acquire in such an acquisition, and those acquired within 90 days immediately preceding the date that the acquirer
crossed one of the thresholds, become “control shares,” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote unless disinterested
stockholders vote to restore the right. In addition, the corporation, if provided in its articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect
on the tenth (10th) day following the acquisition of a controlling interest, may cause the redemption of all of the control shares at
the average price paid for such shares if the stockholders do not accord the control shares full voting rights. If control shares are
accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who did
not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares
in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.
We have opted out of these provisions in our Articles of Incorporation
until Mr. Robins ceases to beneficially own shares of our common stock representing at least 15% of our outstanding voting stock.
After such time, we may opt out of the “control share” statute by amending our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws within
10 days of the acquisition as provided by Nevada law.
The foregoing provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. These provisions are intended to enhance
the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our Board and in the policies formulated by our Board and to discourage
certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control. These provisions and the provisions of Nevada
law described above are designed to reduce DraftKings’ vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also
are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging
others from making tender offers for our shares of common stock and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market
price of our Class A common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect
of preventing changes in our management or delaying or preventing a transaction that might benefit stockholders.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of our officers
and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Nevada law provides that our directors and officers will not be individually
liable to us, our stockholders or our creditors for any damages for any act or failure to act in the capacity of a director or officer
other than in circumstances where both (i) the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis
and with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted, and (ii) the act or failure to act of the director or officer
is proven to have been a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach is proven to have involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide for indemnification
for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each
of our directors that are, in some cases, broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Nevada law. The effect
of these provisions is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover any damages against a
director or officer for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, because a director or officer will not be individually liable for acts
or omissions, except where the act or failure to act constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and such breach involved intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of law, and the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis, and with
a view to the interests of the corporation, has been rebutted.
These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for certain violations
of the federal securities laws of the United States.
We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’
insurance to protect our directors, officers, employees and agents against certain liabilities.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under Nevada
law and in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors or officers
for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against
directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit DraftKings and our stockholders. However, these
provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any DraftKings stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction
or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of
directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, an investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action
or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Corporate Opportunities
In anticipation that Mr. Robins may engage in activities or lines
of business similar to those in which we engage, our Articles of Incorporation provide for, to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada
law, the renouncement by DraftKings of all interest and expectancy that DraftKings otherwise would be entitled to have in, and all rights
to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that from time to time may be presented to any director, stockholder,
officer or agent of DraftKings (or any affiliate thereof), other than an employee of DraftKings or any of its subsidiaries. Specifically,
no holder of shares of our common stock, nor any non-employee director, of DraftKings has any duty to refrain from engaging in the same
or similar business activities or lines of business that DraftKings does or otherwise competing with DraftKings. In the event that any
holder of shares of common stock of DraftKings or any director that is not an employee of DraftKings or its subsidiaries acquires knowledge
of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for itself and DraftKings, that person will not have any duty
to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to DraftKings and may pursue or acquire such corporate opportunity for itself or direct
such opportunity to another person.
To the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, no potential transaction
or business opportunity may be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity of DraftKings or its subsidiaries unless (a) DraftKings
and its subsidiaries would be permitted to undertake such transaction or opportunity in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation,
(b) DraftKings and its subsidiaries at such time have sufficient financial resources to undertake such transaction or opportunity
and (c) such transaction or opportunity would be in the same or similar line of business in which DraftKings and its subsidiaries
are then engaged or a line of business that is reasonably related to, or a reasonable extension of, such line of business.
Redemption Rights and Transfer Restrictions with Respect to Capital
Stock Held by Unsuitable Persons and Their Affiliates
The Articles of Incorporation provide that any common stock or any
other equity securities of DraftKings, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for, or convertible into, such other equity securities
of DraftKings owned or controlled by a person whom the Board determines in good faith (following consultation with reputable outside gaming
regulatory counsel) pursuant to a resolution adopted by the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the disinterested members of the Board
(i) fails or refuses to file an application (or fails or refuses, as an alternative, to otherwise formally request from the relevant
Gaming Authority a waiver or similar relief from filing such application) within 30 days (or such shorter period imposed by any gaming
authority, including any extensions of that period granted by the relevant gaming authority, but in no event more than such original 30
days) after having been requested in writing and in good faith to file an application by DraftKings (based on consultation with reputable
outside gaming regulatory counsel), or has withdrawn or requested the withdrawal of a pending application (other than for technical reasons
with the intent to promptly file an amended application following such withdrawal), to be found suitable by any gaming authority or for
any gaming license when such finding of suitability or gaming license is required by gaming laws or gaming authorities for the purpose
of obtaining a material gaming license for, or compliance with material gaming laws by DraftKings “or any affiliated company,”
(ii) is denied or disqualified from eligibility for any material gaming license by any gaming authority, (iii) is determined
by a gaming authority in any material gaming jurisdiction to be unsuitable to own or control any equity interests, or be affiliated, associated
or involved with a person engaged in gaming activities, (iv) is determined by a gaming authority to have caused, in whole or in part,
any material gaming license of DraftKings or any affiliated company to be lost, rejected, rescinded, suspended, revoked or not renewed
by any gaming authority, or to have caused, in whole or in part, DraftKings or any affiliated company to be threatened by any gaming authority
with the loss, rejection, rescission, suspension, revocation or non-renewal of any material gaming license (in each of (ii) through
(iv) above, only if such denial, disqualification or determination by a gaming authority is final and non-appealable), or (v) is
reasonably likely to (1) preclude or materially delay, impede, impair, threaten or jeopardize any material gaming license held or
desired in good faith to be held by DraftKings or any affiliated company or DraftKings’ or any affiliated company’s application
for, right to the use of, entitlement to, or ability to obtain or retain, any material gaming license held or desired in good faith to
be held by DraftKings or any affiliated company, or (2) cause or otherwise be reasonably likely to result in the imposition of any
materially burdensome terms or conditions on any material gaming license held or desired to be held by DraftKings or any affiliated company
(each of such persons, an “Unsuitable Person”) or its affiliates will be subject to mandatory sale and transfer on the terms
and conditions set forth in the Articles of Incorporation to either DraftKings or one or more third-party transferees (as described in
the Articles of Incorporation) and in such number and class(es)/series as determined by the Board.
Any such sale or transfer will not occur until the later to occur of:
(i) delivery to the Unsuitable Person of a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the disinterested
members of the Board at a meeting thereof called and held for the purpose (after providing reasonable notice to such person and a reasonable
opportunity for such person, together with their counsel, to be heard and to provide documents and written arguments), finding that the
Board has determined in good faith (following consultation with reputable outside gaming regulatory counsel) that (A) such person
is an Unsuitable Person and (B) it is necessary for such person or an affiliate of such person (as applicable) to sell and transfer
such number and class(es)/series of equity interests in order for DraftKings or an affiliated company to:
(1) obtain, renew, maintain or prevent the loss, rejection, rescission, suspension, revocation or non-renewal of a material gaming
license; (2) comply in any material respect with a material gaming law; (3) ensure that any material gaming license held or
desired in good faith to be held by DraftKings or any affiliated company, or DraftKings’ or any affiliated company’s application
for, right to the use of, entitlement to, or ability to obtain or retain, any material gaming license held or desired in good faith to
be held by DraftKings or any affiliated company, is not precluded, delayed, impeded, impaired, threatened or jeopardized in any material
respect; or (4) prevent the imposition of any materially burdensome terms or conditions on any material gaming license held or desired
in good faith to be held by DraftKings or any affiliated company, and specifying the reasoning for such determinations in reasonable detail,
and (ii) conclusion of any arbitration process brought in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.
Following (x) the determination of unsuitability by the Board
and (y) if applicable, an arbitrator determining that such determinations were made in good faith by the Board, DraftKings will deliver
a transfer notice to the Unsuitable Person or its affiliate(s) and will purchase and/or cause one or more third-party transferees
to purchase such number and class(es)/series of equity interests determined in good faith by the Board for the purchase price set forth
in the transfer notice, which will be determined in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation; provided that an Unsuitable Person
or its affiliate(s) will be permitted, during the 45-day period commencing on the date of the transfer notice (or before a transfer
notice is formally delivered), to effect and close a disposition of the number and class(es)/series of equity interests specified in the
transfer notice (or a portion of them) to a person that the Board determines in good faith (following consultation with reputable outside
gaming regulatory counsel) is not an Unsuitable Person, on terms agreed between the Unsuitable Person and such person (an “Alternate
Private Transaction”).
At the closing of a sale and transfer other than an Alternate Private
Transaction, (i) DraftKings or the third-party transferee(s) (as applicable) will deliver the aggregate applicable purchase
price for the equity interests being purchased by each of the foregoing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
specified in writing by the Unsuitable Person or an affiliate of such Unsuitable Person (as applicable) in the case of third-party transferees,
by unsecured promissory note in the case of DraftKings, or a combination of both in the case of DraftKings in such proportion as it may
determine in its sole and absolute discretion and (ii) the Unsuitable Person or affiliate thereof will deliver to DraftKings or each
such third-party transferee, such stock powers, assignment instruments and other agreements as are necessary or appropriate to fully convey
all right, title and interest in and to the equity interests being purchased by each of the foregoing, free and clear of all liens and
other encumbrances and to evidence the subordination of any promissory note if and only to the extent required by any debt obligations
of DraftKings (and to the minimum extent required pursuant to such subordination arrangement).
The Articles of Incorporation provide that, in the case of a sale and
transfer to DraftKings, from and after the transfer date and subject only to the right to receive the purchase price for such equity interests,
the equity interests will be deemed no longer outstanding and the Unsuitable Person or any affiliate thereof will cease to be a DraftKings
stockholder, and all rights of such Unsuitable Person or any affiliate thereof, other than the right to receive the purchase price, will
cease. In the case of an Alternate Private Transaction or a transfer to one or more third-party transferees, from and after the earlier
to occur of: (i) the transfer date, in the case of a transfer to one or more such third-party transferees, or (ii) consummation
of an Alternate Private Transaction, subject only to the right to receive the purchase price for such Unsuitable Person’s equity
securities, all rights and entitlements of the Unsuitable Person or any affiliates thereof will be terminated, including, without limitation,
any such person will from such date no longer be entitled to: (i) receive any dividend, payment, distribution or interest with regard
to the applicable equity interests which has been declared following such date or of which the due payment date according to the applicable
declaration is following such date, other than the right to receive the purchase price or (ii) to exercise, directly or indirectly
or through any proxy, trustee, or nominee, any voting or other right (including, without limitation, observer and information rights)
conferred by the underlying equity interests.
Further, to the extent that a sale and transfer to one or more third-party
transferees is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, DraftKings will be permitted to redeem or repurchase the equity
interests owned or controlled by an Unsuitable Person or an affiliate thereof for the price and under the terms contemplated by the Articles
of Incorporation promptly following any such determination.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under Nevada law, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our
name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action was a holder
of DraftKings shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved
by operation of law and such suit is brought in a Nevada court. For further information, please read the section entitled “— Exclusive
Forum” above.

Description
of Debt Securities
This prospectus describes certain general terms and provisions of the
debt securities. The debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to an indenture to be entered into
between DraftKings Inc. and one or more trustees selected by us. Such indenture is referred to herein as the “indenture.”
The terms of the debt securities will include those set forth in the indenture (as supplemented by any relevant officer’s certificate
or supplemental indenture) and those made a part thereof by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. When we offer to sell a particular
series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms for the securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The prospectus supplement
will also indicate whether the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.
Because the following is only a summary of selected provisions to be
included in the indenture and the debt securities, it does not contain all information that may be important to you. This summary is not
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable indenture and any supplemental indentures thereto or officer’s
certificate or board resolution related thereto.
As used in this “Description of Debt Securities,” the terms
“we,” “our,” “us,” “the company” and “DraftKings” refer to DraftKings Inc.,
a Nevada corporation, and do not, unless otherwise specified, include our subsidiaries.
General
The indenture is not expected to limit the amount of debt securities
which we may issue. We may issue debt securities up to an aggregate principal amount as we may authorize from time to time. Our secured
debt, if any, will be effectively senior to any unsecured debt securities to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.
The debt securities will be exclusively our obligations and not of our subsidiaries and therefore the debt securities will be structurally
subordinated to the debt and other liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany obligations and liabilities of a
type not required to be reflected on a balance sheet in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States)
of any of our subsidiaries. The prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any debt securities being offered, including:
| · | any limit upon the aggregate principal amount; |
| · | whether the debt securities will be senior or subordinated; |
| · | applicable subordination provisions, if any; |
| · | whether the debt securities will be secured or unsecured and, if secured, what the collateral will consist of; |
| · | the date or dates on which the principal is payable; |
| · | the rate or rates at which the debt securities shall bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate shall be determined; |
| · | the date or dates from which interest shall accrue; |
| · | the date or dates on which interest shall be payable; |
| · | the record dates for the determination of holders to whom interest is payable; |
| · | the right, if any, to extend the interest payment periods and the duration of such extension; |
| · | the place or places where the principal of and any interest shall be payable; |
| · | the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which debt securities may be redeemed,
pursuant to any sinking fund or otherwise; |
| · | our obligation, if any, to redeem, purchase or repay the debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or otherwise or at the option
of a holder thereof; |
| · | if applicable, the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which the debt
securities shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid, in whole or in part; |
| · | any covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued; |
| · | any defaults and events of default applicable to the particular debt securities being issued and consequences of default; |
| · | any right to “reopen” a previous issue of a series of debt securities by issuing additional debt securities of such series; |
| · | the denominations in which the debt securities of the series shall be issuable; |
| · | the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities will be issued and, if other than the principal amount thereof,
the portion of such principal amount which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof or provable in bankruptcy; |
| · | any and all other terms of the series including any terms which may be required by or advisable under U.S. law or regulations or advisable
in connection with the marketing of the debt securities; |
| · | whether the debt securities are issuable as global securities or definitive certificates and, in such case, the identity for the depositary; |
| · | any provisions granting special rights to holders when a specified event occurs; |
| · | whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts on the debt securities held by a person who is not a U.S. person
in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted; |
| · | any special tax implications of the debt securities; |

| · | any guarantor or co-issuers; |
| · | any special interest premium or other premium; |
| · | whether the debt securities are convertible or exchangeable into any class of our common stock or other of our equity securities and
the terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange shall be effected; |
| · | the currency in which payments shall be made, if other than U.S. dollars; |
| · | securities exchange(s) on which the securities will be listed, if any; |
| · | whether any underwriter(s) will act as market maker(s) for the securities; |
| · | extent to which a secondary market for the securities is expected to develop; |
| · | additions to or changes in the events of default with respect to the securities and any change in the right of the trustee or the
holders to declare the principal, premium and interest with respect to such securities to be due and payable; |
| · | provisions relating to covenant defeasance and legal defeasance; |
| · | provisions relating to satisfaction and discharge of the indenture; |
| · | provisions relating to the modification of the indenture both with and without the consent of holders of debt securities issued under
the indenture; |
| · | provisions related to unclaimed funds; and |
| · | additional terms not inconsistent with the provisions of the indenture. |
United States federal income tax consequences and special considerations,
if any, applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Forms of Securities
Each debt security will be represented either by a certificate issued
in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated
securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee
as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other
interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as
applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities represented by these global securities.
The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through
an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.
Registered Global Securities
We may issue the registered debt securities in the form of one or more
fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement
and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a
denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented
by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered
global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees
of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.
If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement
with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating
to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will
be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants.
Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any
dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership
of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only
through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect
to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical
delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in
registered global securities.
So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner
of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the
securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture. Except as described below, owners
of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global
security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form
and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial
interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that
person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of
a holder under the applicable indenture. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or
if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give
or take under the applicable indenture, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the
relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them
to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities
represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its
nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of DraftKings, the trustee or any other agent
of DraftKings or agent of the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made
on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to those beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented
by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities
or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate
to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect
that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed
by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in
bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.
If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered
global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not appointed
by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by
the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or
names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s
instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests
in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.
