Email to Clients Announcing the Business Combination
October 13, 2021
Hello,
I wanted to share an exciting announcement which JUST
came out about the future of SeatGeek. We have signed an agreement to take SeatGeek public through a business combination with RedBall Acquisition Corp. (RedBall) (NYSE: RBAC), a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
You are near and dear to SeatGeek and our mission to bring more live to the world, and so I wanted to reach out today to share the news and provide some
color.
First off, this is a milestone vs. a final destination. Our mission remains the sameto ensure we are working together to deliver more live
to the world and more magic to live. And of course to evolve and improve how we work together. We will continue to invest right back into our technology and the teams supporting your success.
In case you are wondering, Jack Groetzinger will continue as CEO of the combined company, overseeing its vision and evolution alongside SeatGeeks
current executive team. And there is no change to your day-to-day relationships.
Finally, we are truly delighted to partner with RedBall, as we believe their deep relationships and experience in the sports and live events ecosystem make
them the ideal partner for SeatGeek. RedBall was formed by RedBird Capital Partners, a private investment firm with current and prior investments in sports, media, and ticketing including the YES Network, On Location Experiences, Skydance,
Wasserman, OneTeam Partners, Fenway Sports Group, the XFL, Toulouse FC, and the IPLs Rajasthan Royals.
We are excited to take this next step in our
growth alongside you and it is truly our privilege to work with you as partners.
