Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 21, 2020, Tekkorp Digital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 7,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Tekkorp JEMB LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Irwin Apartment Trust, a trust for the benefit of the issue of Eric Matejevich, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Robin Chhabra, the Company’s President (collectively, with the Sponsor and Irwin Apartment Trust, the “PPW Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO except that, so long as they are held by the PPW Purchasers or their respective permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)); (2) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights. The PPW Purchasers will purchase up to an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants to the extent the underwriters in the IPO exercise the over-allotment option.

A total of $250,000,000, comprised of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the completion of the Company's initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Company's public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
