Rush Street Interactive, Inc. current report, 15 October 2020

Business Context and Reporting Period

DMY Technology Group, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on October 15, 2020 under Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure. The filing relates to Rush Street Interactive, LP (RSI) and the proposed business combination between RSI and DMY Technology Group. RSI issued a press release announcing preliminary third-quarter 2020 revenue figures, and an updated investor presentation was furnished as an exhibit.

The filing does not itself provide the preliminary revenue amount or other third-quarter financial statements. The disclosure and exhibits were furnished, not filed, for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

Financial Metrics and Liquidity

  • Revenue: RSI announced preliminary third-quarter 2020 revenue, but the amount is not included in the provided filing text.
  • Profit, cash flow, margins, debt, and liquidity: The filing text does not provide clear values for these metrics.
  • Comparative changes: No quantified comparison with the prior comparable period is provided in the filing text.

Material Changes, Outlook, and Risks

The principal development is the ongoing proposed Business Combination between RSI and DMY Technology Group. The company stated that a preliminary proxy statement had been filed and that a definitive proxy statement was expected to be filed and mailed to eligible stockholders when available.

Completion remains subject to stockholder approval, regulatory approvals, and other closing conditions. Identified risks include termination of the transaction, litigation, failure to close, COVID-19 effects, inability to maintain a New York Stock Exchange listing, disruption to operations, failure to realize anticipated benefits, competition, profitable growth and employee retention challenges, transaction costs, and changes in laws or regulations.

Management’s forward-looking statements concerning future performance, anticipated transaction benefits, closing timing, and financial impacts are subject to substantial uncertainties. The filing does not provide formal financial guidance in the supplied text.

Important Facts to Verify

  • Verify RSI’s preliminary third-quarter 2020 revenue and any related operating metrics in Exhibit 99.1.
  • Review Exhibit 99.2 for transaction assumptions, forecasts, projected financial performance, and operating targets.
  • Confirm the status of the definitive proxy statement, stockholder approval, regulatory approvals, and other closing conditions.
  • Review the proxy statement’s risk factors, including COVID-19, competition, licensing and regulatory matters, transaction termination risks, and projected benefits.
  • Confirm that the revenue announcement and investor presentation were furnished rather than filed and therefore may not carry the same liability status as filed financial information.
