Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

Business Combination Agreement

On November 17, 2022, Goal Acquisitions Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") with Digital Virgo Group, a French corporation (société par actions simplifiée) ("Digital Virgo"), all shareholders of Digital Virgo ("Sellers"), and IODA S.A., in its capacity as the "Seller Representative" (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), pursuant to which the Company will acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the share capital of Digital Virgo from Sellers (the "Transaction"). The time of the closing of the Transaction is referred to herein as the "Closing." The date of the Closing of the Transaction is referred to herein as the "Closing Date."

The Business Combination Agreement and the Transaction were approved by the board of directors of the Company.

Below is a description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transaction. The description below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Transaction and Consideration

Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers will transfer to the Company, and the Company will acquire from Sellers, one hundred percent (100%) of the share capital of Digital Virgo.

As consideration and in exchange therefor, the Company will pay to Seller consideration (the "Closing Consideration") having a value equal to $513,000,000 plus the amount of cash that Digital Virgo has at Closing minus the amount of financial indebtedness that Digital Virgo has outstanding at Closing, which Closing Consideration will be paid $125,000,000 in cash and the remainder in newly-issued shares of common stock of the Company (based on a value of $10 per share) (the "Common Stock"). Certain of the Sellers may be able to elect to receive shares of preferred shares of the Company which are listed on Nasdaq following the Closing (to the extent the Company can issue such shares at the Closing) up to an aggregate amount of $100,000,000 in lieu of shares of Common Stock.

At the Closing, the Common Stock will consist of the existing common stock of the Company, which will be renamed "Class A common stock", and Class B common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share. The Class B common stock will have two votes per share, and will only be issued to IODA S.A, which is the controlling shareholder of Digital Virgo.

In addition, at the Closing, 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Seller Earnout Escrow Shares") will be deposited into an earnout escrow account and will be released, in whole or part, to Sellers if a share price milestone is met and an earnout milestone is met. The share price milestone will be met if the Company's share price is equal to or greater than $15.00 for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days (counting only those trading days in which there is trading activity) from the period starting from the date immediately following the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2026 (the "Share Price Milestone"), in which case 2,500,000 Seller Earnout Escrow Shares will be released to Sellers. The earnout milestone will be met if the Company's EBITDA for any fiscal year ending on or before December 31, 2027 is equal or greater than $60,000,000, in which case 2,500,000 Seller Earnout Escrow Shares will be released to Sellers. Any Seller Earnout Escrow Shares remaining in the earnout escrow account that have not been released to Sellers will held by the Company as treasury shares or canceled by the Company. "EBITDA" means the "Adjusted EBITDA" of Digital Virgo as currently calculated by Digital Virgo for its reporting requirements under its existing credit facility, which is a non-GAAP measure and should not be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance than financial information under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

In addition, at the Closing, 1,293,750 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Shareholders Earnout Escrow Shares") will be deposited into an earnout escrow account and will be released to Goal Acquisitions Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor") if the Share Price milestone is met. Any Initial Shareholders Earnout Escrow Shares remaining in the earnout escrow account that have not been released to the Sponsor will be held by the Company as treasury shares or canceled by the Company. As described below, the Sponsor has agreed to forfeit 646,875 shares of Common Stock for no consideration effective as of the Closing.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type. Except in certain limited instances, the representations and warranties made under the Business Combination Agreement will not survive the Closing.

In addition, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement agreed to be bound by certain customary covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, (i) a covenant of each party to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transaction to be consummated in an expeditious manner, (ii) a covenant of the Company to convene a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company to approve the stockholder proposals, except that the board of directors of the Company may fail to make, amend, change, withdraw, modify, withhold or qualify its recommendation (a "Change in Recommendation") in response to an Intervening Event (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, which does not include matters relating to an alternative transaction) if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be a breach by the board of directors of its fiduciary obligations to the Company's stockholders under applicable law, (iii) covenants providing that the parties will not solicit, initiate, submit, facilitate, discuss or negotiate any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to any alternative transaction, (iv) a covenant by the Seller Representative to deliver to the Company audited financial statements that have been audited in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards by a PCAOB qualified auditor and other audited and unaudited financial statements of Digital Virgo that are required to be included in the proxy statement, and (v) if the Company or the Seller Representative has received a proposal that it believes is superior to the proposed committed capital on demand facility ("CCOD"), for which the Company has received a term sheet, a covenant by the Company and the Seller Representative to discuss the terms of such proposal in good faith and whether to proceed with such proposal instead of the proposed CCOD.

The forward-looking statements in this Current Report represent the views of the Company and Digital Virgo as of the date of this Current Report. Risks in addition to those set forth herein may also materialize. Moreover, the Company's and Digital Virgo's assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
