Jason Robins, the CEO of DraftKings has ironclad voting control.

From the final prospectus:

...New DraftKings will adopt a dual class stock structure comparable to the one that will be in effect at DraftKings immediately prior to the Closing, comprised of Class A common stock, which will carry one vote per share, and Class B common stock, which will carry 10 votes per share. Upon the Closing, all stockholders of New DraftKings will hold only shares of New DraftKings Class A common stock, except for Mr. Robins, who will hold shares of New DraftKings Class A common stock and shares of New DraftKings Class B common stock. Immediately following the Closing, and by virtue of his holdings of New DraftKings Class A common stock and New DraftKings Class B common stock, Mr. Robins is expected to hold approximately 90% of the voting power of the capital stock of New DraftKings on a fully-diluted basis. The New DraftKings Class B common stock will not be entitled to dividends and will have only a nominal participation in any liquidation of New DraftKings, which participation will rank junior to the New DraftKings Class A common stock. The New DraftKings Class B common stock is also subject to a “sunset” if Mr. Robins no longer (i) serves in a senior executive or board role, or (ii) holds more than a specified amount of New DraftKings shares.
