Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 9, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), between DraftKings Inc. (now known as DraftKings Holdings Inc.) ("Old DraftKings"), Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc., New Duke Holdco, Inc. (now known as DraftKings Inc.) ("New DraftKings"), Duke Merger Sub, Inc. ("DK Merger Sub") and Gulf Merger Sub, Inc., upon the consummation of the merger of DK Merger Sub with and into Old DraftKings at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on May 5, 2022 (the "DraftKings Merger"), each issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Old DraftKings ("Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New DraftKings ("New DraftKings Class A Common Stock"). The acquisition of the New DraftKings Class A Common Stock is exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange (continued on footnote 2)
( 2 )(Continued from footnote 1) Act"), pursuant to Rule 16b-3 and Rule 16b-7 under the Exchange Act. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Form 4 to reflect the acquisition of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock by the Reporting Person in connection with the consummation of the DraftKings Merger, the Reporting Person is filing a Form 4 with respect to Old DraftKings to report the disposition by such Reporting Person of an equal number of shares of Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the DraftKings Merger. This Form 4 only reports the acquisition of securities of the Reporting Person pursuant to the Merger Agreement and does not reflect the purchase of securities by the Reporting Person.
( 3 )Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and in connection with the consummation of the DraftKings Merger, each outstanding restricted stock unit denominated in Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock (collectively, the "Old DraftKings RSUs") was converted into an equivalent restricted stock unit denominated in New DraftKings Class A Common Stock (collectively, the "New DraftKings RSUs"), each of which represents a contingent right to receive one share of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Form 4 to reflect the acquisition of New DraftKings RSUs by the Reporting Person in connection with the consummation of the DraftKings Merger, the Reporting Person is filing a Form 4 with respect to Old DraftKings to report the disposition by such Reporting Person of an equal number of Old DraftKings RSUs in connection with the consummation of the DraftKings Merger. (continued on footnote 4)
( 4 )(Continued from footnote 3) This Form 4 only reports the acquisition of securities of the Reporting Person pursuant to the Merger Agreement and does not reflect the purchase of securities by the Reporting Person. As used herein, the term "RSUs" refers to (i) Old DraftKings RSUs prior to the DraftKings Merger and (ii) New DraftKings RSUs following the DraftKings Merger, in each case, unless the context requires otherwise.
( 5 )These RSUs were granted on May 3, 2022 and shall vest in full on the earlier of (i) the next annual meeting of the stockholders of New DraftKings following the grant date and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date.
