NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sports Entertainment Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") today announced the pricing of its upsized initial public offering of 40,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units are expected to be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "SEAH.U" beginning today, October 2, 2020. Each unit consists of one share of the Company's Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Company expects that its Class A common stock and warrants will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols ''SEAH'' and ''SEAH WS,'' respectively.

The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Although the Company's efforts to identify a prospective business combination opportunity will not be limited to a particular industry, it intends to focus on the sports and entertainment sectors as well as the technology and services that are associated with these verticals.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and PJT Partners LP are acting as joint book-running managers. The Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 6,000,000 additional units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.
