Strategic Technology Partnership Expansion and Extension

On June 11, 2025, Genius Sports Limited (the “Company” or “Genius”) issued a press release announcing an expansion and extension of its strategic technology partnership with NFL Enterprises LLC, an affiliate of the National Football League (the “NFL”).

Issuance of Securities

In connection with the Company’s expanded and extended strategic technology partnership with the NFL, in addition to license fees payable in cash, the Company has issued to the NFL 9,500,000 warrants (the “Warrants”), represented by warrant certificates (the “Warrant Certificates”), with each Warrant entitling the NFL to purchase one ordinary share of Genius (each, a “Warrant Share”) for an exercise price of $0.01 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment described in the Warrant Certificates. The Warrants have been issued in two tranches with 4,500,000 Warrants immediately vested and 5,000,000 Warrants vesting on April 1, 2028.

The issuance of the Warrants is being conducted in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemptions set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D.

The foregoing description of the Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant Certificates, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Exhibit 99.1 to this report, furnished on Form 6-K, is furnished, not filed, and will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).The information contained in this Form 6-K, including Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, but excluding Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated by reference into the Company’s registration statements on Form F-3 (No. 333-265466), Form F-3ASR (No. 333-279227) and Form S-8 (Nos. 333-264254, 333-266904, 333-269093 and 333-285829).
