Exhibit “A”

Dundon Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DCP”), hereby

asserts an unsecured, non-priority claim in an unknown amount against the debtor herein arising

from misrepresentations both prior to and after DCP’s investment. Thomas Dundon (“Dundon”)

hereby asserts an unsecured, non-priority claim against the debtor herein arising from its indemnity

obligations and from any other harm or damages suffered by Dundon in connection with his

relationship to the debtor herein.

1. DCP resuscitated a critically-ill business with a commitment of up to $70,000,000

in rescue capital to allow the Alliance of American Football (the “League”) to make payroll,

continue operations and fulfill its obligations through the first season of its operations. The last-

second nature of this cash infusion was undertaken by DCP based on the representations made to

it by Ebersol Sports Media Group, Inc. (“ESMG”) and its affiliates (collectively, the “AAF”).

2. The AAF told DCP that it would only need and was requesting only up to

$70,000,000 for the first season and asked DCP to make a commitment for that amount. The AAF

further represented that it could survive the season with only $55,000,000, leaving substantial

capital to prepare for the following season. There was never a commitment provided by DCP to

invest anything more than up to $70,000,000.

3. The AAF also told DCP that it had all authority necessary to consummate this

transaction with DCP. Proper authority was important because the AAF was committing to give

DCP 75% senior ownership of ESMG and voting control of the Board of Directors, with the

specific terms and transaction structure subject to DCP’s discretion.

4. Based on the representations of the AAF, DCP entered into a Binding Term Sheet

for Series 2 Preferred Stock (the “Term Sheet”) on February 14, 2019, wherein DCP agreed to

1
 19-50902-cag Claim#20 Filed 06/24/19 Main Document Page 5 of 6

make a maximum cumulative commitment of up to $70,000,000 based on the AAF’s

representations. DCP honored its obligations under the Term Sheet.

5. During the weeks following the execution of the Term Sheet, DCP learned a

number of alarming facts that revealed that the AAF was not forthcoming with Dundon and DCP.

6. DCP learned that, in addition to not having the funds to pay salaries after the first

week of the League’s games, the AAF also had accumulated more than $13,000,000 in unpaid

debts and commitments. The AAF did not disclose these unpaid debts or commitments to DCP

prior to the execution of the February 14, 2019 Term Sheet.

7. Even though AAF executives told DCP its contribution would get the AAF through

the first season, those executives knew at the time of the execution of the Term Sheet that the AAF

would likely need an additional $50,000,000 (including League revenue) on top of DCP’s

investment of up to $70,000,000 to get through the first season. The AAF and its executives never

disclosed this information to DCP.

8. DCP also learned after it executed the Term Sheet that the AAF had ongoing

threatened litigation from a past associate who claimed to be a co-founder of the League and who

was suing to obtain a 50% interest in the AAF. The AAF and its executives never disclosed this

information to DCP until after DCP executed the Term Sheet.

9. In February and March of 2019, DCP also learned that, despite representations by

the AAF that it had the requisite authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Term

Sheet with DCP, it actually did not. The Board of ESMG had not in fact formally approved the

transaction. In addition, the transaction was not authorized by the requisite shareholders of

ESMG. And, although the Term Sheet promised preferred stock to DCP for its equity investment,

the AAF actually did not have enough shares authorized to satisfy the issuance required under the

2
 19-50902-cag Claim#20 Filed 06/24/19 Main Document Page 6 of 6

Term Sheet. The AAF and its executives never disclosed this information to DCP until after DCP

executed the Term Sheet.

10. The AAF, prior to DCP’s involvement, had a pattern of willful omission of material

facts, in particular regarding its prospects, obligations and opportunities. The AAF did not

appropriately disclose material facts to DCP prior to the capital commitment.

11. The AAF has misrepresented to the public, employees, and players the details of

DCP’s financial commitment to the League, has failed to disclose to the public that DCP’s

“maximum cumulative commitment” to the League was only up to $70,000,000, and made

misrepresentations that the League was financially viable. The AAF has also misrepresented that

DCP did not invest the amount required under the Term Sheet.

12. DCP asserts a claim against the debtor herein to recover its $70,000,000 investment.

Dundon asserts a claim against the debtor herein arising from its indemnity obligations and any

other harm or damages suffered by him in connection with his relationship with the debtor herein.
