PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 19, 2020

LEISURE ACQUISITION CORP.

250 West 57^th Street, Suite 415

New York, New York 10107

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON [  ●  ],NOVEMBER 24, 2020

To the Stockholders of Leisure Acquisition Corp.:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting in lieu of the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Leisure Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” us,” and “our”) to be held on ●   ,   ●  ,Tuesday, November 24, 2020, at ●9:00 a.m. local time at the Company’s offices at 250 West 57^th Street, Suite 415, New York, New York 10107. At the Special Meeting, which is in lieu of the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, you will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

Each of the proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow the Company more time to complete a business combination. While we are currently in discussions regarding a potential business combination opportunity, our Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before December 1, 2020 to complete a business combination. Accordingly, our Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of our stockholders to extend the date that the Company has to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a business combination prior to the Special Meeting, the Company will issue a press release and file a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission announcing the proposed business combination.

Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, the Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by stockholders.

If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are approved, although the Company will continue to be listed on Nasdaq, the Company may not be able to continue to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq. See “Background—Timeline for Completing a Business Combination.”

The Company’s public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. The Company believes that such redemption right enables the Company’s public stockholders to determine not to sustain their investments for an additional period if the Company does not complete the business combination in the timeframe currently contemplated by its charter. If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the business combination is submitted to stockholders.

Redemptions by public stockholders will reduce the amount held in the trust account, which held approximately $[13.2]$13.1 million as of September 30,October 31, 2020. If stockholders exercise redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, such redemptions would further reduce the amount held in the trust account and could have a material impact on our ability to complete an initial business combination. In such event, the Company may need to obtain additional funds to complete a business combination and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all. See “Background—Timeline for Completing a Business Combination.” In addition, if the amount of the redemptions would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules), the Company will not proceed with the Extension Amendment or Trust Amendment.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days before the Special Meeting. You may tender your shares by either delivering your stock certificates to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

The Company estimates that the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account will be approximately $10.__$10.35 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on ● ,November 2, 2020 was $10.__.$10.50. Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the same until the date of the Special Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public stockholder receiving $ ●  [more/less]$0.15 less for each share than if such stockholder sold the shares in the open market. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment proposals are not approved at the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and we do not consummate a business combination by December 1, 2020, in accordance with our charter, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $75,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

Approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. The Auditor Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 20, 2020 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT, “FOR” THE TRUST AMENDMENT, “FOR” THE DIRECTOR PROPOSAL, “FOR” THE AUDITOR PROPOSAL AND “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

Your vote is important. Please review the accompanying proxy statement and vote as promptly as possible to ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting.

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

PROXY STATEMENT

● ,November 3, 2020

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND SPECIAL MEETING

Why did you send me these proxy materials?

These proxy materials are being sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Leisure Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” us,” and “our”), for use at a special meeting in lieu of the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on ● , ● ,Tuesday, November 24, 2020 at ●9:00 a.m. local time at the Company’s offices at 250 West 57^thStreet, Suite 415, New York, New York 10107, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement summarizes the information that you need to make an informed decision on the proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting.

What is included in these materials?

The materials include:

What proposals will be addressed at the Special Meeting?

Stockholders will be asked to consider the following proposals at the Special Meeting:

We will also consider any other business that properly comes before the Special Meeting.

Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment?

We are a blank check company incorporated on September 11, 2017, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We completed our IPO on December 5, 2017 from which we derived gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Like most blank check companies, our charter provides for the return of our IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares sold in our IPO if a qualifying business combination isn’t consummated on or before a certain date (in our case, December 1, 2020). Our Board believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders to continue the Company’s existence until the Extended Date in order to allow us more time to complete a business combination.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment proposals are approved and implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares at this time, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account in the event such business combination is approved and completed by the Extended Date.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment, “FOR” the Trust Amendment, “FOR” the Director Proposal, “FOR” the Auditor Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Who may vote at the Special Meeting?

Stockholders who owned shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, as of the close of business on October 20, 2020 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The shares owned include shares you held on that date directly in your name as the stockholder of record and/or shares in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record where the shares were held for you as the beneficial owner. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on. As of the Record Date, there were 6,262,283 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

What happens if the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are not approved?

If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are not approved at the Special Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof and we have not consummated a business combination by December 1, 2020, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $75,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Our initial stockholders waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their founder shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the warrants which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

Holders of public shares (i.e., the shares of common stock that were sold as part of the units in our IPO whether purchased in the IPO or thereafter in the open market) may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment regardless of how or whether such public stockholders vote in regard to those amendments or whether they were holders as of the Record Date.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on ●  ,November 20, 2020 (two business days before the Special Meeting), you must either physically tender your stock certificates to the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, or deliver your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares (i.e., those not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting) will retain their right to redeem their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the business combination is submitted to stockholders.

What are the federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

Stockholders who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for their shares of our common stock generally will be required to treat the transaction as a sale of such shares and recognize gain or loss upon the redemption in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of common stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. The redemption, however, may be treated as a distribution if it does not effect a meaningful reduction in the redeeming stockholder’s percentage ownership in our stock, taking into account certain attribution rules. Any such distribution will be treated as dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will reduce the redeeming stockholders’ basis in the Company’s common stock, and any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock. See the section entitled “Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 — The Extension Amendment and The Trust Amendment — Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below for a more detailed discussion.

If I hold the Company’s warrants, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

No. The holders of our warrants have no redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

If I hold the Company’s units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

No. Holders of outstanding units must separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares.

If you hold units registered directly in your own name (i.e., not in “street name”) (see “What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?” below), you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such units into public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares upon the separation of the public shares from the units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If you hold units in street name, you must instruct the broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for your units to separate the units. Your nominee must send written instructions to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of units to be split and the nominee holding such units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares upon the separation of the public shares from the units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Registered Stockholders. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, a stockholder of record. In that case, the proxy materials have been sent to you by the transfer agent.

Beneficial Stockholders. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As a result, the proxy materials have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote your shares.

How do I vote?

If you hold the shares directly in your name, you can vote by completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card or you can vote in person at the Special Meeting. By submitting your vote by proxy, the individuals whose names are listed on the proxy card accompanying this proxy statement will act as your proxies and vote your shares as you direct on the proxy card. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Special Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. 

If you are the beneficial owner and your shares are held in the name of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, please refer to the voting instruction form provided by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee for instructions on the voting methods they offer which typically include Internet and telephone voting options. If you would like to vote in person at the Special Meeting instead of by proxy, you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other nominee.

How do the Company’s insiders intend to vote their shares?

Our directors, officers and other initial stockholders and their respective affiliates are expected to vote the common stock over which they have voting control in favor of the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment and the other proposals.

These stockholders have also waived their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares. On the Record Date, these stockholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote ●6,000,000 of the Company’s shares, including 5,000,000 founder shares, representing approximately ● %95.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

These stockholders may choose to buy additional public shares in the open market and/or through negotiated private purchases after the date of this proxy statement. Any such purchases that are completed after the Record Date for the Special Meeting may include an agreement with a selling stockholder that such stockholder will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment proposals and will not exercise redemption rights with respect to the shares. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against these proposals and/or would have elected to redeem their shares. Any public shares so purchased will be voted in favor of these proposals.

What interests do the Company’s insiders have in the approval of the proposals?

Our directors, officers and other initial stockholders and their respective affiliates have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include ownership of founder shares and warrants that will become worthless, and loans that will not be repaid, in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 — The Extension Amendment and The Trust Amendment — Interests of the Company’s Insiders and Initial Stockholders.”

How many votes must be present to hold the Special Meeting?

A quorum is necessary in order to carry on the business of the Special Meeting. This means at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock eligible to vote must be represented at the meeting, either by proxy or in person. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the Special Meeting. “Broker non-votes” (described below) and withhold or abstain responses are included for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy. If your shares are held in “street name” and you do not provide your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee with voting instructions, under certain circumstances, your shares may be voted by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee on a matter that is considered routine under the rules of the stock exchange (and, as to other matters that are non-routine, your shares would be considered “broker non-votes”). Only the Auditor Proposal is considered routine. If you do not provide voting instructions on how to vote your shares, your brokerage firm may vote on the Auditor Proposal and the shares would be considered present for purposes of determining a quorum but will refrain from voting on the other proposals (the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment, the Director Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal) and the shares would be considered “broker non-votes” with respect to these proposals.

What vote is required to adopt the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment?

Approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment will require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon as of the Record Date. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposals.

What vote is required for the Director Proposal?

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Special Meeting. Neither broker non-votes nor any withhold votes will have an effect on this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

What vote is required for the Auditor Proposal?

Approval of the Auditor Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Special Meeting. Only votes cast “For” or “Against” count; abstentions will have no effect on this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

What vote is required for the Adjournment Proposal?

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Special Meeting. Only votes cast “For” or “Against” count; abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

Can I change or revoke my vote?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company’s Secretary at 250 West 57^th Street, Suite 415, New York, New York 10107 so that it is received by the Secretary prior to the Special Meeting or by attending and voting in person at the Special Meeting if you are a stockholder of record. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation in writing to the Company’s Secretary.

Please note, however, that if you are a beneficial stockholder and wish to change or revoke your proxy, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting, by attending and voting in person.

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

If you are a record holder and you sign and return your proxy card but do not specify a vote with respect to the proposals, your proxy will follow the Board’s recommendations and your shares will be voted in favor of the proposals in this proxy statement.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

Where do I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?

The voting results will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC and available through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or our website at www.leisureacq.com, within four business days following the Special Meeting.

Who bears the cost of soliciting proxies?

We will bear the cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing the proxy materials, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Special Meeting. We will also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial stockholders for expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to such beneficial stockholders. Proxies also may be solicited by certain of our directors and officers, personally or by telephone or e-mail, without additional compensation.

What is householding?

Where multiple stockholders reside in the same household, we may deliver a single proxy statement and annual report, along with separate proxy cards to that address unless we have received other instructions. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. If you and another registered shareholder residing in the same household each receive separate materials and as a household wish to receive only one set or if you received a single set and would like to receive separate sets, you may request a change in delivery preferences. If you are the record holder of the shares, please contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at (212) 509-4000 to request the change. Beneficial owners should contact the broker, bank or other record holder of their shares to request the change.

Who can help answer my questions?

If you have any questions about the proposals described in the proxy statement or how to execute your vote, you can contact the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, George Peng, at (646) 565-6940 or send a letter to Mr. Peng at Leisure Acquisition Corp, 250 West 57^th Street, Suite 415, New York, New York 10107.

BACKGROUND

Leisure Acquisition Corp.

The Company was formed as a special purpose acquisition company on September 11, 2017 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

The sponsors of our Company are (1) Hydra Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Hydra sponsor”), an affiliate of A. Lorne Weil, our Executive Chairman; and (2) Matthews Lane Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Matthews Lane sponsor”), an affiliate of Daniel B. Silvers, our Chief Executive Officer and Director. HG Vora Capital Management, LLC., on behalf of one or more funds or accounts managed by it, is a strategic investor in the Company.

On December 5, 2017, we consummated our IPO of 20,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock, and one-half (1/2) of one warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50. The units in the IPO were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated a private placement of 6,825,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant to affiliates of our sponsors, our strategic investor and certain members of our management team, which generated gross proceeds of $6,825,000.

On November 26, 2019, our stockholders approved an extension of the period of time for which we are required to consummate a business combination from December 5, 2019 to April 5, 2020 (the “Initial Extension”). The number of shares of common stock redeemed by public stockholders in connection with the Initial Extension was 1,123,749 for an aggregate cash redemption amount of approximately $11,583,500. In connection with the Initial Extension, the Company agreed to contribute $0.03 per month to the trust account for each of the Company’s outstanding public shares (the “Contribution”), subject to certain conditions. Contributions were made by the Company to the trust account for each of the four monthly periods covered by the extension.

On December 5, 2019, we entered into an expense advancement agreement with GTWY Holdings Limited (“GTWY Holdings”) (as discussed below), pursuant to which GTWY Holdings committed to provide approximately $566,300 to us to fund the Contribution for the first monthly period covered by the Initial Extension (i.e., December 6, 2019 to January 5, 2020). The Company drew down this amount by issuing an unsecured promissory note to GTWY Holdings.

On December 27, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with GTWY Holdings, the parent of Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited, relating to a proposed business combination between us and Gateway (the “Gateway Transaction”).

On January 15, 2020, we issued unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 to our sponsors and strategic investor pursuant to our drawdown of their commitment under our expense advancement agreement with such parties in order fund our working capital requirements and Contributions to the trust account for the Initial Extension. Under the terms of the promissory notes, the holders had the option to convert their notes into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant subject to the same terms and conditions as the private placement warrants. The notes were converted in full on June 25, 2020 into an aggregate of 1,000,001 warrants.

On March 26, 2020, our stockholders approved an extension of the period of time for which we are required to consummate a business combination from April 5, 2020 to June 30, 2020 (the “Second Extension”). The number of shares of common stock redeemed by public stockholders in connection with the Second Extension was 16,837,678 for an aggregate cash redemption amount of approximately $176,283,500.

On June 26, 2020, our stockholders approved an extension of the period of time for which we are required to consummate a business combination from June 30, 2020 to December 1, 2020 (the “Third Extension”). The number of shares of common stock redeemed by public stockholders in connection with the Third Extension was 776,290 for an aggregate cash redemption amount of approximately $8,099,000.

The Gateway Transaction was not consummated by July 15, 2020, the “outside date” under the Merger Agreement, whereupon we gave notice of termination.

On October 26, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our expense advancement agreement with our sponsors and strategic investor to increase the total amount of advances available to us under the agreement to $1,200,000. We issued unsecured promissory notes to such parties on October 26, 2020 and October 27, 2020. Such promissory notes covered an initial aggregate drawdown amount of $75,000 and a maximum aggregate amount of $200,000. Amounts up to the aggregate maximum amount may and are expected to be drawn down from time to time by us pursuant to the promissory notes to fund our working capital requirements.

As of September 30,October 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $[13.2]$13.1 million of cash in the trust account.

Timeline for Completing a Business Combination

Like most blank check companies, our charter provides for the return of our IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of the public shares sold in our IPO if a qualifying business combination isn’t consummated on or before a certain date (in our case, December 1, 2020). While we are currently in discussions regarding a potential business combination opportunity, our Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before December 1, 2020 to complete a business combination. Accordingly, our Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of our stockholders to extend the date that the Company has to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a business combination prior to the Special Meeting, the Company will issue a press release and file a Form 8-K with the SEC announcing the proposed business combination.

If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are approved, although the Company will continue to be listed on Nasdaq, the Company may not be able to continue to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq. On December 1, 2017, the SEC declared the Company’s IPO registration statement effective and the Company’s securities became listed on Nasdaq. Under NASDAQ listing rule IM-5101-2 (the “Listing Rule”), the Company is required to complete a business combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement (i.e., by December 1, 2020) in order to remain listed on Nasdaq. There is no assurance that the Company will not receive a delisting letter from Nasdaq. Upon receipt of any such delisting letter, the Company will have the option to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. To the extent that the Company receives a delisting letter, the Company intends to appeal the Nasdaq delisting in order to permit the continued listing of the Company on Nasdaq so that the Company can consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Date. IfIn the event the Company is not successful in its appeal toand is delisted from Nasdaq, the only established trading market for its securities would be eliminated and the Company will either (1)would seek to have its securities quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, the over-the-counterCompany could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

As a result, an investor would likely find it more difficult to trade, or (2)to obtain accurate price quotations for, the Company’s securities. Delisting would likely also reduce the visibility, liquidity and value of the Company’s securities, including as a result of reduced institutional investor interest in the Company, and may increase the volatility of the Company’s securities. Delisting could also cause a loss of confidence of potential business combination partners, which could further harm our ability to consummate a business combination. Alternatively, the Company could take steps to wind down the Company. Company if it is delisted from Nasdaq.

See the Risk Factor “Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Notwithstanding a potential delisting from the Nasdaq, the following requirements, among others, would continue to apply to the Company:

If stockholders exercise redemption rights in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment, such redemptions would further reduce the amount held in the trust account and could have a material impact on our ability to complete an initial business combination. With less funds available in the trust account, the Company may be unable to complete certain potential business combinations that would otherwise be available to it and could be less attractive to potential targets as an acquirer. In addition, the Company could become more dependent on third-party financing to complete an initial business combination. Raising additional third party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. There is no guarantee that any such third party financing would be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment proposals are approved and implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account in the event such business combination is approved and completed by the Extended Date.

PROPOSAL 1 AND PROPOSAL 2 -- THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND TRUST AMENDMENT

The Extension Amendment

The Extension Amendment would amend our existing charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from December 1, 2020 to the Extended Date which is ●  ,June 30, 2021. The complete text of the proposed amendment to the charter is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.

The Trust Amendment

The Trust Amendment would amend our existing trust agreement to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination from December 1, 2020 to the Extended Date. The complete text of the proposed amendment to the trust agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment

The Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are essential to allowing the Company more time to complete a business combination. Our Board believes that there will not be sufficient time before December 1, 2020 to complete a business combination. Accordingly, our Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of our stockholders to extend the date that the Company has to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date.

If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment Are Not Approved

If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by December 1, 2020, in accordance with our charter, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $75,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment proposals are approved and implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account, in the event such business combination is approved and completed by the Extended Date.

Redemption Rights in Connection with the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment Proposals

The Company’s public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment proposals regardless of how such public stockholders vote in regard to the amendments. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extension if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001.

The Company estimates that the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account will be approximately $10.__at$10.35 at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on ●  ,November 2, 2020 was $10.__.$10.50. Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the same until the date of the Special Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public stockholder receiving $ ●  [more/less]$0.15 less for each share than if such stockholder sold the shares in the open market. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the business combination is submitted to stockholders and would be entitled to have their shares redeemed if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Date.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on ●  ,November 20, 2020 (two business days before the Special Meeting), you must either physically tender your stock certificates to the Company’s transfer agent. at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com or deliver your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Extension Amendment or the Trust Amendment. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the Company’s stockholders with respect to the exercise of redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment. This discussion applies only to those who hold common stock as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

If you are a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of your partners will generally depend on the status of the partners and your activities. Partnerships (and other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holding our securities are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the exercise of your redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes). No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.

You are urged to consult your own tax advisors with respect to the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under any U.S. federal non-income taxes and the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Redeeming Stockholders

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our units, shares of common stock or warrants who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Redemption of Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. holder elects to redeem its common stock, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale of the common stock under Section 302 of the Code.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock, the U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in the redemption disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its redeemed common stock. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost for the shares. If the shares were acquired as a unit with our warrants, the cost of the unit must be allocated between the shares and warrants that comprised such unit based on their relative fair market values at the time of the acquisition. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such redeemed shares exceeds one year.

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. A redemption of common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the common stock (rather than as a distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. In order to meet the “substantially disproportionate test” the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following such redemption must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before such redemption. There will be a “complete termination” of a U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Although it is believed that the Company presently has no accumulated earnings and profits, it will not be possible to definitely determine whether the Company will have, as of the end of its taxable year, any current earnings. If there are no current or accumulated earnings or the amount of the distributions exceeds current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess of redemption proceeds over any portion that is taxable as a dividend will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will be treated as described in the preceding paragraphs.

In the event the redemption is treated as a distribution, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed common stock will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares that are still owned by the U.S. holder. If the U.S. holder no longer owns any actual common shares, the U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor as to possible reallocation of the tax basis in its warrants or in other stock constructively owned by it.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to gross proceeds from the redemption of shares, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn). Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” A Non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our units, shares of common stock and warrants who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

but does not include an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. If you are such an individual, you should consult your own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exercise of your redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Redemption of Common Stock

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s common stock generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder’s common stock, as described under “U.S. Holders — Redemption of Common Stock”.

If a redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares is treated as a distribution, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such distribution will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Provided such dividend is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a Non-U.S. holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the common stock. In addition, if we determine that we are classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation”, we may withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Dividends that we pay to a Non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or if a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder) generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such effectively connected income will generally be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected income may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).

If a redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares is treated as a sale, a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on such sale, unless:

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or lower treaty rate).

If the second bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, the Company may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. The Company believes that it is not and has not been at any time since our formation a United States real property holding corporation, although no assurance can be given that it will not become one in the future. We would be classified as a United States real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50 percent of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with gross proceeds from the redemption of shares. A Non-U.S. holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty will generally satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding Taxes

Pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”), foreign financial institutions (which term includes most foreign hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities must comply with certain information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors. A foreign financial institution or such other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA reporting requirements generally will be subject to a 30% withholding tax with respect to any “withholdable payments.” For this purpose, withholdable payments generally include U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax (e.g., U.S.-source dividend which could include proceeds from a redemption treated as a distribution) and also include the entire gross proceeds from the sale of any stock of U.S. issuers (including a redemption treated as a sale), even if the payment would otherwise not be subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., because it is capital gain). The IRS recently issued proposed Treasury Regulations that would eliminate the application of this regime with respect to payments of gross proceeds (but not interest). Pursuant to these proposed Treasury Regulations, the Company and any applicable withholding agent may (but are not required to) rely on this proposed change to FATCA withholding until final regulations are issued.

The Company will not pay any additional amounts to redeeming stockholders in respect of any amounts withheld, including pursuant to FATCA. Under certain circumstances, a stockholder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the FATCA provisions to them based on their particular circumstances.

The foregoing discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is included for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any stockholder. The Company urges you to consult with your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you (including the application and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income or other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares in connection with the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Interests of the Company’s Insiders and Initial Stockholders

When you consider the recommendation of the Company’s Board, you should keep in mind that the Company’s directors, officers and other initial stockholders and their respective affiliates, including the Company’s sponsors, have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

Vote Required for Approval of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment Proposals

The affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve each of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends stockholders vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

PROPOSAL 3 – THE DIRECTOR PROPOSAL

Our charter provides for a Board of Directors classified into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible, whose terms of office expire in successive years. Our Board now consists of five directors as set forth below, including biographies, in the section entitled “Directors and Officers.”

Two of the directors, A. Lorne Weil and Daniel B. Silvers, are nominated for election at the Special Meeting as Class III directors to hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2023, or until their successors are chosen and qualified.

Unless you indicate otherwise, shares represented by executed proxies in the form enclosed will be voted for the election of the director nominee unless any such nominee shall be unavailable, in which case such shares will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. We have no reason to believe that the nominee will be unavailable or, if elected, will decline to serve.

Vote Required for Approval of the Director Proposal

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Special Meeting. The two nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes shall be elected as directors. You may withhold votes from any nominee.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends stockholders vote “FOR” the election to the Board of each of the director nominees.

PROPOSAL 4 -- THE AUDITOR PROPOSAL

We are asking stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for appointing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is not bound by the outcome of this vote. However, if stockholders do not ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, our Audit Committee intends to reconsider the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Marcum LLP has been engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2017. We expect representatives of Marcum LLP to be present at the Special Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following is a summary of the fees paid to Marcum LLP for professional services rendered for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019:

Pre-Approval Policy

Our Audit Committee was formed upon the consummation of our IPO. As a result, the Audit Committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our Board. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit).

Vote Required for Approval of the Auditor Proposal

The ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends stockholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the Auditor Proposal.

PROPOSAL 5 –THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Vote Required for Approval of the Adjournment Proposal

Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends stockholders vote “FOR” the Adjournment ProposalProposal.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board is presently comprised of five (5) members and is divided into three separate classes of directors. One class of directors is normally elected at each annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three (3) years. The term of office of the Class III directors, A. Lorne Weil and Daniel B. Silvers, expires at the Special Meeting and the Board has nominated Messrs. Weil and Silvers for re-election as Class II directors.

The term of the Class I director, Marc J. Falcone, will expire at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and term of the Class II directors, Steven M. Rittvo and David L. Weinstein, will expire at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

Mr. Weil previously served as Chairman of the Board of Scientific Games Corporation (and its predecessor Autotote Corporation) from October 1991 to November 2013. Mr. Weil also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Games Corporation (and its predecessor Autotote Corporation) from 1992 to 2008 and from November 2010 to November 2013 (Mr. Weil had retired in 2008) and as the President from August 1997 to June 2005. Under Mr. Weil’s stewardship, the company made a number of significant acquisitions and joint ventures, including the privatization of the off-track betting operations of the State of Connecticut, and the acquisitions of Scientific Games Holdings Corp., IGT Online Entertainment Systems, Global Draw and WMS Industries, and the privatization of the Illinois, New Jersey and Italian lotteries.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Falcone, Rittvo and Weinstein are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Board Committees

The Board established two standing committees upon consummation of our IPO in December 2017: an audit committee and a compensation committee. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Board held seventeen meetings and the audit committee held four meetings. The compensation committee did not meet during 2019. All directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which they served during 2019. We do not have a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings, but encourage directors to attend if possible. Four of the directors attended the 2019 annual meeting (one in person and three by telephone).

The composition and responsibilities of each Board committee are described below. Each committee’s charter is available on our website at www.leisureacq.com. Members of a committee will serve until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board.

Audit Committee

The members of our audit committee are Messrs. Falcone, Rittvo and Weinstein. Mr. Falcone currently serves as Chairman of the audit committee. All members of the audit committee qualify as independent directors under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our Board has determined that Mr. Falcone qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

Compensation Committee

The members of our compensation committee are Messrs. Falcone, Rittvo and Weinstein. Mr. Weinstein currently serves as Chairman of the compensation committee. All members of the compensation committee qualify as independent directors under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

It is likely that prior to the consummation of a business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such business combination.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. As a result, no policy exists requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This has allowed our Board the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time. Currently, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles are separately held by Mr. Silvers and Mr. Weil, respectively. The majority of our directors are independent and the Board’s standing committees are comprised solely of independent directors. Our Board oversees our risk management process focusing on our general risk management strategy to ensure appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. Further, presentations by management to our Board include consideration of the challenges and risks that we face, and our Board and management engage in discussion on these topics. In addition, our Board committees consider risk within their areas of responsibility. In particular, our Audit Committee provides oversight to legal and compliance matters and assesses the adequacy of our risk-related internal controls.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, executive officers and employees that complies with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq. The Code of Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. We have previously filed copies of our form Code of Ethics, our form of Audit Committee Charter and our form of Compensation Committee Charter as exhibits to our registration statement in connection with our IPO. You may review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Copies of our Code of Ethics and our audit committee and compensation committee charters are available, without charge, on our website at www.leisureacq.com or upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the Board. The Board believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws. Stockholder recommendations should be submitted in writing to: Leisure Acquisition Corp., 250 West 57^th Street, Suite 415, New York, New York 10107, Attention: Secretary.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may communicate with the Board or with a specific director at any time by writing to us at 250 West 57th Street, Suite 415, New York, New York 10107, Attention: Secretary, or calling (646) 565-6940. We review all messages received and forward messages that reasonably appear to be communications from a stockholder intended to be made to one or more directors about a matter of stockholder interest. Such messages are forwarded as soon as practicable, to the particular director to whom they are addressed or, if not so addressed, to our Executive Chairman. Because other appropriate avenues of communication exist for matters that are not of stockholder interest, such as general business complaints or employee grievances, communications that do not relate to matters of stockholder interest are not forwarded to directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our Board, except that Mr. Weil, our Executive Chairman, is Executive Chairman of Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Mr. Silvers, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board, is an executive officer of Inspired Entertainment, Inc.

Conflicts of Interest

Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity and not to us. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our business combination. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the waiver of any requirement to present corporate opportunities to us to the extent it would conflict with competing duties owed to other entities. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue. 

Executive Compensation

None of our officers or directors has received any cash (or non-cash) compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on December 1, 2017, under an administrative services agreement, we agreed to pay our Hydra sponsor, or its affiliates or assignees, a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support until completion of our business combination. Effective June 30, 2020, our Hydra Sponsor agreed to stop charging the monthly administrative fee and forgave the $71,000 outstanding balance due under the agreement.

We may pay our sponsors or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation in connection with identifying, investigating and completing our business combination. These individuals will also be reimbursed for any out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. In addition, to facilitate the Company’s business interests in identifying potential target businesses, we have reimbursed certain professional networking organization membership fees. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsors, strategic investor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which fees and expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed.

After the completion of our business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the Board for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our Board.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors. 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Issuance of Founder Shares

In September 2017, we issued an aggregate of 7,187,500 founder shares to our sponsors, the strategic investor and certain members of management or their affiliates for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.003 per share. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares upon completion of our IPO. In October 2017, our Hydra sponsor transferred 203,957 of its founder shares to certain of our officers and professionals. In October 2017, certain of our initial stockholders transferred 711,250 of their founder shares to our strategic investor, with 355,625 of the shares subject to return to such stockholders if certain specified market price levels for our common stock are exceeded following the closing of the business combination. In November 2017, our Hydra sponsor transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of Messrs. Falcone, Rittvo and Weinstein, our independent directors. In December 2017, in connection with the completion of our IPO, and in January 2018, following the expiration of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, our initial stockholders forfeited 1,437,500 and 750,000 shares, respectively, which reduced the aggregate number of outstanding founder shares to 5,000,000 so as to maintain the aggregate ownership of founder shares at 20% of our outstanding shares immediately following the consummation of our IPO. The founder shares may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder. 

Private Placement Warrants

Affiliates of our sponsors, the strategic investor and certain members of management purchased an aggregate of 6,825,000 private placement warrants for a purchase price of $1.00 per whole warrant concurrent with the closing of the IPO. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The private placement warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder. We issued an aggregate of an additional 1,000,001 private warrants to our sponsors and strategic investor in connection with their conversion of promissory notes covering $1,000,000 of loans to the Company under the Company’s expense advancement agreement (see section below for “expense advancement agreement”).

Contingent Forward Purchase Contract with Strategic Investor

On December 1, 2017, our strategic investor entered into a contingent forward purchase contract with us to purchase, in a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $62,500,000 to occur concurrently with the consummation of our business combination, 6,250,000 of our units on substantially the same terms as the sale of units in our IPO at $10.00 per unit. The funds from the sale of this private placement units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the business combination; any excess funds from this private placement may be used for working capital in the post-transaction company. This commitment is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their shares and provides us with an increased minimum funding level for the business combination.

Our strategic investor’s obligation to purchase our units and shares of common stock under the contingent forward purchase contract is subject to the following closing conditions:

In addition, under the contingent forward purchase contract, we and the strategic investor agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities and we have additionally agreed to indemnify the strategic investor and certain of its affiliates against certain liabilities arising out of or relating to our IPO or our subsequent operations.

On December 27, 2019, in connection with the previously proposed business combination with GTWY Holdings, an amendment to the contingent forward purchase contract was effected to provide that the contingent forward purchase contract would terminate as of, and contingent upon, the closing of the transaction with GTWY Holdings such that the strategic investor would instead purchase 3,000,000 units of GTWY Holdings’ equity securities for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit. The original terms of the contingent forward purchase contract remain operative for a business combination with another target. 

Administrative Services Agreement

On December 1, 2017, we entered into an administrative services agreement with our Hydra Sponsor under which we agreed to pay our Hydra sponsor, or its affiliates or assignees, a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support until completion of our business combination. Effective June 30, 2020, our Hydra Sponsor agreed to stop charging the monthly administrative fee and forgave the $71,000 outstanding balance due under the agreement.

Promissory Notes

We entered into promissory notes with our sponsors in September 2017 whereby they agreed to loan us up to an aggregate of $400,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of our IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of June 30, 2018 or the IPO Closing Date. These loans were repaid upon the closing of our IPO.

Expense Advancement Agreement

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended business combination, we entered into an expense advancement agreement with our sponsors and strategic investor on December 1, 2017 under which they committed to loan us an aggregate of $1,000,000 pursuant to drawdowns from time to time in the event that funds held outside of the trust are insufficient to fund our expenses after our IPO and prior to our business combination (including investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements). On January 15, 2020, we issued promissory notes pursuant to drawdowns under the agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000, which the holders elected to convert on June 25, 2020 in accordance with the terms thereunder into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. An additional $125,000 remains available for drawdown pursuant toOn October 26, 2020, we entered into an amendment to theour expense advancement agreement dated June 29,with our sponsors and strategic investor to increase the total amount of advances available to us under the agreement to $1,200,000. We issued unsecured promissory notes to such parties on October 26, 2020 and October 27, 2020. Such promissory notes covered an initial aggregate drawdown amount of $75,000 and a maximum aggregate amount of $200,000. Amounts up to the aggregate maximum amount may and are expected to be drawn down from time to time by us pursuant to the promissory notes to fund our working capital requirements. The promissory notes do not bear any interest. The Company has not yet utilized the remaining commitment but expects to repay any such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released upon completion of a business combination. Alternatively, the sponsors and strategic investor would have the option to convert the outstanding loaned amounts under the promissory notes to warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. In the event the Company does not complete the business combination, it may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Accordingly, if the business combination is not completed, the Company will most likely not be able to repay the loans.

Potential Payments after the Business Combination

After our business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares, private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by us on the closing of the IPO, which requires us to register such securities for resale. Each of our sponsors (collectively with their respective affiliates) and strategic investor is entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of our business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the founder shares, on the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of our business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our business combination, the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our business combination, or (B) the date following the completion of our business combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement warrants and the respective common stock underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of our business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
