PROXY STATEMENT OF FLYING EAGLE ACQUISITION CORP. PROSPECTUS FOR 294,227,089 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND 2,899,423 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING WARRANTS OF FLYING EAGLE ACQUISITION CORP. (WHICH WILL BE RENAMED SKILLZ, INC.) On September 1, 2020, the board of directors of Flying Eagle Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FEAC,” “we,” “us” or “our”), unanimously approved an agreement and plan of merger, dated September 1, 2020, by and among FEAC, FEAC Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FEAC (“Merger Sub”), Skillz Inc. (“Skillz”) and Andrew Paradise (“Paradise”), solely in his capacity as representative of the stockholders of Skillz (the “Stockholder Representative”) (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). If the Merger Agreement is adopted by FEAC’s stockholders and the transactions under the Merger Agreement are consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into Skillz with Skillz surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FEAC (the “Business Combination”). In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, FEAC will be renamed “Skillz, Inc.” and is referred to herein as “New Skillz” as of the time following such change of name. Under the Merger Agreement, FEAC has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Skillz for approximately $3.5 billion in aggregate consideration. Skillz stockholders will have the right to elect to receive consideration in the form of cash and/or shares of common stock of New Skillz, subject to proration if the aggregate cash consideration to satisfy all cash elections exceeds or is less than the Cash Consideration. The Cash Consideration is anticipated to be equal to (A) the proceeds available from the Trust Account established in connection with FEAC’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), after giving effect to any and all redemptions of public shares and the payment of transaction expenses, plus (B) the funds received by FEAC in the Private Placement, plus (C) the amount of cash and cash equivalents of Skillz determined in accordance with GAAP as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the day prior to the Closing Date, minus (D) $250,000,000. Cash Consideration is calculated in this manner in order to ensure that, after satisfying FEAC’s redemption obligations and paying transaction expenses, $250,000,000 in cash is first retained on the balance sheet of New Skillz (the “Balance Sheet Threshold”) before any cash is used to fund cash consideration to Skillz stockholders. Although Skillz currently has sufficient liquidity to fund its future operations, the Balance Sheet Threshold was mutually agreed upon between FEAC and Skillz based upon, among other things, considerations such as the amount of cash liquidity reasonably necessary to fund growth initiatives, support marketing efforts and provide additional working capital. If the Balance Sheet Threshold is not satisfied, all consideration to Skillz stockholders will be in the form of shares of common stock of New Skillz. In order to, among other things, avoid more cash being retained on the balance sheet of New Skillz than the parties believed was reasonably necessary, all cash in excess of the Balance Sheet Threshold will be used to fund Cash Consideration to Skillz stockholders. As a result, if the Skillz stockholders elect to receive an aggregate amount of cash that is greater than the Cash Consideration, the amount of cash to be paid to each Skillz stockholder who elected to receive cash will be adjusted downward on a pro rata basis and each such Skillz stockholder will receive additional shares of New Skillz. If the Cash Consideration exceeds the aggregate amount of cash which the Skillz stockholders elect to receive, the number of shares of New Skillz to be received by each Skillz stockholder that has elected to receive shares will be reduced until the cash portion of such stockholder’s total merger consideration represents the same portion that the Cash Consideration represents of the aggregate merger consideration, and each such Skillz stockholder will receive a pro rata portion of the excess cash. For more detailed information on the cash and stock allocations see “Cash Consideration”onpage25and“Stock Consideration” on page 26. It is estimated that Cash Consideration will be approximately $568 million if there are no redemptions and approximately $269 million if maximum redemptions occur while still permitting FEAC to satisfy its closing conditions. See “Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” on page 34 for more information. In connection with or shortly following the signing of the Merger Agreement, certain Skillz stockholders made irrevocable cash elections (the “Cash Commitments”) to receive cash consideration in an aggregate amount of approximately $598 million and certain Skillz stockholders have made irrevocable stock elections to receive stock consideration in an aggregate amount of approximately $480 million (or approximately 48 million shares of common stock of New Skillz) (the “Stock Commitments”). These Cash Commitments and Stock Commitments were entered into with Skillz stockholders that were either significant stockholders of Skillz and/or had representatives on the board of directors of Skillz. Among other things, the willingness of these Skillz stockholders to enter into such commitments provided FEAC and Skillz assurances that substantially all of the Cash Consideration will be allocated to Skillz stockholders that have elected to receive cash consideration. At the effective time of the Business Combination, the stock consideration to be issued to (i) the then current holders of stock in Skillz (other than Paradise and his controlled affiliates) will be in the form of Class A common stock of New Skillz and (ii) Paradise and his controlled affiliates will be in the form of shares of Class B common stock of New Skillz. At the effective time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Skillz common stock (a “Skillz option”) that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be assumed by New Skillz and will be converted into an option to acquire Class A common stock of New Skillz (other than in the case of Paradise, who will receive options exercisable for Class B common stock of New Skillz) with the same terms and conditions as applied to the Skillz option immediately prior to the effective time provided that the number of shares underlying such New Skillz option will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Skillz common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the effective time, by the ratio determined by dividing the merger consideration value by $10.00 (the product being the “option exchange ratio”), which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and the per share exercise price of such New Skillz option will be determined by dividing the per share exercise price immediately prior to the effective time by the option exchange ratio, which quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. At the effective time, each share of restricted Skillz common stock (other than those held by an individual who has waived the right to accelerate the vesting of such stock) will become immediately vested and the holder will be entitled to receive the applicable per share merger consideration, less applicable tax withholding, if any. Each share of restricted Skillz common stock held by an individual who has waived the right to accelerate the vesting of such stock will be cancelled and converted into a number of restricted shares of New Skillz stock issuable as merger consideration for one share of Skillz common stock, rounded to the nearest whole share of New Skillz common stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the Skillz restricted stock immediately prior to the effective time. At the effective time, each warrant to purchase shares of Skillz capital stock that is issued and outstanding prior to the effective time of the Business Combination and has not been terminated pursuant to its terms will be assumed and converted into a warrant exercisable for shares of Class A common stock of New Skillz on the same terms and conditions as applied to the existing warrants to purchase Skillz capital stock. Class B common stock of New Skillz will have the same economic terms as the Class A common stock of New Skillz, but the Class B common stock will have twenty (20) votes per share. The New Skillz Class B common stock will be subject to a “sunset” provision if Paradise and other permitted holders of New Skillz Class B common stock collectively cease to beneficially own at least twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares of New Skillz Class B common stock collectively held by Paradise and his permitted transferees as of the effective date of the Business Combination. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock of New Skillz that is required to be issued as merger consideration will be valued at $10.00 per share. In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, FEAC entered into non-redemption agreements with certain holders of FEAC Class A common stock, pursuant to which such holders agreed not to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”), and Skillz entered into voting agreements (“Voting Agreements”) with certain holders of FEAC Class A common stock, pursuant to which such holders agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. The aggregate number of shares of FEAC Class A common stock subject to the Non-Redemption Agreements is 11,427,500, which represents $114.275 million of otherwise exercisable redemption rights. The percentage of outstanding shares of FEAC Class A common stock subject to these voting agreements is approximately 8% of the voting power of FEAC, which, when taken together with the shares held by our Sponsor and our other initial stockholders that are obligated to vote in favor of the Business Combination, represents approximately 28% of the voting power of FEAC.
