We have acted as special Nevada counsel to DraftKings Inc., a Nevada corporation formerly known as New Duke Holdco, Inc. ("New DraftKings"), in connection with the Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 on Form S-3 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 5, 2022, to the Registration Statement (File No. 333-237693) initially filed by DraftKings Inc., a Nevada corporation now known as DraftKings Holdings Inc. (“Old DraftKings”), as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the "Registration Statement"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement, prior to the Post-Effective Amendment, related to the resale from time to time of (i) certain shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Old DraftKings ("Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock"), (ii) certain shares of Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock underlying certain convertible notes (the “Notes”) issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between Old DraftKings and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), (iii) certain warrants to purchase Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock (the “Old DraftKings Warrants”), and (iv) shares of Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock underlying the Old DraftKings Warrants issued pursuant to the terms of those certain subscription agreements and convertible notes entered into in connection with the business combination (the “Business Combination”) by and among the predecessor of Old DraftKings and certain other parties to the Business Combination. The Post-Effective Amendment relates to certain merger transactions pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Old DraftKings, Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc., a Delaware corporation, New DraftKings, Duke Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New DraftKings, and Gulf Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New DraftKings, whereby, among other transactions, DraftKings Merger Sub merged with and into Old DraftKings (the “DraftKings Merger”) and Old DraftKings thereby became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of New DraftKings.

Pursuant to and in connection with the DraftKings Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of Old DraftKings Class A Common Stock (other than certain excluded shares) was converted into one share (each, a “New DraftKings Resale Share”) of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New DraftKings (“New DraftKings Class A Common Stock”), (ii) New DraftKings became a guarantor of the Notes, and the Notes became convertible into shares of New DraftKings Class A Common Stock ("New DraftKings Conversion Shares") under the terms of the Indenture, as supplemented by that certain First Supplemental Indenture, dated May 5, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), by and among Old DraftKings, New DraftKings and the Trustee. No Old DraftKings Warrants were outstanding at the time of the DraftKings Merger or the filing of the Post-Effective Amendment. Accordingly, New DraftKings became the successor to Old DraftKings with respect to the Registration Statement for purposes of Rule 414 under the Securities Act.
