(Commission File No. 001-38893) The following communications were made by DraftKings Inc. and Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc. to the public on August 9, 2021. CNBC “Power Lunch” Television Interview Monday 08/09/2021 2:44PM Jason Robins We look at this deal and it checks a lot of strategic boxes. We've really built a brand that resonates very well with the sports fan. We've done a great job cross- selling that sports player onto iGaming. We haven't done as well with the iGaming first customer, which Golden Nugget’s brand really resonates with. They were an early market leader in New Jersey, and have really done a tremendous job building that brand from something - you know it's one of the oldest gaming brands in the world and it still resonates as much today as it did, you know, back 100 years ago so, great brand. Obviously, the opportunity to work with Tilman is a tremendous opportunity, his track record speaks for himself and he's going to be a great board member and a great shareholder and somebody I look forward to learning from. And the synergies are outstanding, you know, you mention $300 million in synergies which is a big chunk of the price of the deal so we're very excited about that and we feel like, listen, the Golden Nugget was trading at $25 not too long ago.

Overview Policymakers considering the issue of online gambling face a number of key decisions, including the question of how many unique brands (sometimes referred to as "skins") to allow under each individual online gambling license. To date, states participating in the nascent market for regulated online casino, poker, and sports betting have taken a variety of approaches to the multiple-brand question, with the majority of states (including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) allowing some level of multiple-brand participation under each online gambling license. Our research examined the impact of a multiple-brand approach on four core aspects of a regulated gambling market: Market size, state revenue, competitive dynamics, and the consumer experience. Following our analysis, we conclude that a multiple-brand approach to regulated online gambling is likely to generate materially positive impacts for the typical U.S. state Market Size As part of our analysis, we performed a comprehensive evaluation of New Jersey's regulated online casino market.
