Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed, on April 26, 2021, Sports Entertainment Acquisition
Corp. (the "Company") entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the
"Business Combination Agreement") with SGHC Limited, a non-cellular company
limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Island of Guernsey
("SGHC"), Super Group (SGHC) Limited, a non-cellular company limited by shares
incorporated under the laws of the Island of Guernsey ("NewCo"), Super Group
(SGHC) Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
NewCo ("Merger Sub" and, together with NewCo, the Company and the Company's
direct and indirect subsidiaries, the "Target Companies"), and Sports
Entertainment Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the "Sponsor"). The Business Combination Agreement provided, that the outside
date for the closing of the Business Combination was December 31, 2021.
On November 16, 2021, the Company, SGHC, NewCo, Merger Sub and the Sponsor
entered into an Amendment to Business Combination Agreement (the "Amendment
Agreement") that expressly amended and modified the Business Combination
Agreement to provide that the outside date for the closing of the Business
Combination is March 31, 2022. In the event that the Business Combination shall
not be consummated on or before March 31, 2022, then either SGHC or the Company
may terminate the Business Combination Agreement, provided that such terminating
party is not otherwise in breach of the Business Combination Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Amendment Agreement
which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing
On November 10, 2021, the Company received a notice from the New York Stock
Exchange (the "NYSE") indicating that the Company was deficient in meeting the
requirements of Section 303A.07(a) of the Listed Company Manual, which required
the Company to have three independent members of its board of directors on the
audit committee within one year from the closing of the Company's initial public
offering. The notice from the NYSE stated that, unless the Company cures this
deficiency by November 17, 2021, the Company will be deemed noncompliant.
Given the time and focus dedicated to consummating the previously announce
business combination with SGHC Limited, which is expected to occur by the first
quarter of 2022, at which point the Company will cease being a listed company on
the NYSE, the Company does not currently plan to appoint a third independent
audit committee member. In the event that the previously announced business
combination agreement between the Company, SGHC Limited, Super Group (SGHC)
Limited, Super Group (SGHC) Merger Sub, Inc. and Sports Entertainment
Acquisition Holdings LLC is terminated and the proposed business combination
does not close, the Company will promptly appoint a third independent member of
its audit committee in order to regain compliance under Section 303A.07(a).

(d) Exhibits.
2.1 Amendment to Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 16,
2021, by and among (i) the Company, (ii) SGHC, (iii) NewCo, and (iv) the
