On September 9, 2021, Vivid Seats Inc. (“Vivid Seats”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Amendment No. 3 (File No. 333-256575) to a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021 that includes a proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between Horizon Acquisition Corporation (“Horizon”) and Vivid Seats. The closing of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below). The Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective. The transaction agreement relating to the Business Combination (the “Transaction Agreement”) and the Transaction are described in Horizon’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 22, 2021 and the Transaction Agreement is an exhibit to Horizon’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 26, 2021.

 

Shareholders of Horizon and other interested persons are encouraged to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the annexes thereto and the other documents to be filed with the SEC because these documents contain important information about Horizon, Vivid Seats and the Business Combination. Shareholders are able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and, once available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) under “Vivid Seats Inc.” (CIK: 0001856031).

 

After the Registration Statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of Horizon as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. 

 

Certain statements included in this report which are not statements of historical fact, including but not limited to those identified with the words “intend,” or “expect” are intended to be, and are, “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Such factors include, among others: the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement.
