At the Effective Time, the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation ("<u>Old Common Stock</u>"), in the aggregate outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically be reclassified as and converted into an aggregate of [_] shares of Class A Common Stock and [_] shares of Class B Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, certificates that previously represented shares of Old Common Stock (if any) shall, until the same are presented for exchange, represent the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock into which such shares of Old Common Stock were reclassified and converted pursuant hereto.

The following is a statement of (a) the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the Common Stock, and (b) the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors hereunder with respect to the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;III. *Voting*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except as otherwise required (i) by statute, (ii) pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, or (iii) pursuant to the provisions of any Certificates of Designations filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock shall have the sole right and power to vote on all matters on which a vote of stockholders is to be taken. At every meeting of the stockholders, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of Class A Common Stock standing in his or her name on the transfer books of the Corporation and each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to cast ten (10) votes in person or by proxy for each share of Class B Common Stock standing in his or her name on the transfer books of the Corporation.

Except in the election of directors of the Corporation (voting in respect of which shall be governed by the terms set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section III) and as otherwise required (i) by statute, (ii) pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, or (iii) pursuant to the provisions of any Certificates of Designations filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock shall vote together as a single class; *provided*, that the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be required for (1) the authorization or issuance of any additional shares of Class B Common Stock and (2) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation which adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of Class B Common Stock. Except as provided in the previous sentence, the number of authorized shares of any class of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to the election of directors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If on the record date for notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which directors are to be elected by the holders of Common Stock (the "<u>Common Stock Directors</u>"), the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is at least 10% of the total aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, holders of Class A Common Stock shall vote together as a separate class and shall be entitled to elect 25% of the total number of Common Stock Directors; *provided*, that if such 25% is not a whole number, then the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting together as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect the nearest higher whole number of directors that is at least 25% of the total number of the Common Stock Directors. Subject to subsection (iii) of this Section III(b), holders of Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a separate class to elect the remaining Common Stock Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If on the record date for notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which Common Stock Directors are to be elected, the

------

aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is less than 10% of the total aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holders of Common Stock shall vote together as a single class with respect to the election of the Common Stock Directors and the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting together as a separate class, shall not have the right to elect 25% of the Common Stock Directors, but shall have one (1) vote per share for all Common Stock Directors and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes per share for all Common Stock Directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If on the record date for notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which Common Stock Directors are to be elected, the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock is less than 12 1/2% of the total aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting together as a separate class, shall continue to elect a number of directors equal to 25% of the total number of Common Stock Directors (or the next highest whole number) in accordance with subsection (b)(i) of this Section III and, in addition, shall vote together with the holders of Class B Common Stock, as a single class, to elect the remaining Common Stock Directors, with the holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to one (1) vote per share for all Common Stock Directors and the holders of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten (10) votes per share for all Common Stock Directors.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section III to the contrary, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have exclusive voting power on all matters upon which, pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation or applicable laws, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, at any time when no shares of Class B Common Stock are issued and outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Wherever any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Corporation sets forth a specific percentage of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote which is required for approval or ratification of any action upon which the vote of the stockholders is required or may be obtained, such provision shall mean such specified percentage of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of shares then outstanding and entitled to vote on such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) From and after the date on which Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (to be renamed MSG Sphere Corp. effective as of the Effective Time, and referred to herein as "<u>MSG Sphere</u>") first distributes to its stockholders shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, dated as of [_], 2023, between the Corporation and MSG Sphere, no action of stockholders of the Corporation required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting of stockholders, without prior notice and without a vote, and the power of the stockholders of the Corporation to consent in writing to the taking of any action without a meeting is specifically denied. Notwithstanding this clause (f), the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to take action by written consent to such extent, if any, as may be provided in the terms of such series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IV. *Conversion Rights*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article FOURTH, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible at any time and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof, at the office of any transfer agent for such Class B Common Stock and at such other place or places, if any, as the Board of Directors may designate, or, if the Board of Directors shall fail to so designate, at the principal office of the Corporation (attention of the Secretary of the Corporation), into one (1) fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock. Upon conversion, the Corporation shall make no payment or adjustment on account of dividends accrued or in arrears on Class B Common Stock surrendered for conversion

------

or on account of any dividends on the Class A Common Stock issuable on such conversion; *provided* that the foregoing shall not affect the right of any holder of Class B Common Stock on the record date for any dividend to receive payment of such dividend. Before any holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into Class A Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates (if any) for such Class B Common Stock at the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above), which certificate or certificates, if the Corporation shall so request, shall be duly endorsed to the Corporation or in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to the Corporation or in blank (such endorsements or instruments of transfer to be in form satisfactory to the Corporation), or, if the shares to be converted are uncertificated, shall deliver an appropriate instrument or instruction to the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above), and, in either case, shall give written notice to the Corporation at said office that he or she elects so to convert said Class B Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Section IV, and shall state in writing therein the name or names in which he or she desires the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued. Every such notice of election to convert shall constitute a binding contract between the holder of such Class B Common Stock and the Corporation, whereby the holder of such Class B Common Stock shall be deemed to subscribe for the amount of Class A Common Stock which he or she shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, and, in satisfaction of such subscription, to deposit the Class B Common Stock to be converted and to release the Corporation from all liability thereunder, and thereby the Corporation shall be deemed to agree that the surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor, if any, and the extinguishment of liability thereon shall constitute full payment of such subscription for Class A Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion. The Corporation will as soon as practicable thereafter, (i) if the applicable shares of Class A Common Stock are certificated, issue a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock to which he or she shall be entitled as aforesaid and, if less than all of the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be converted, issue a new certificate representing the shares of Class B Common Stock not converted, and deliver such certificates at the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above) to the person for whose account such Class B Common Stock was so surrendered, or to his or her nominee or nominees, or (ii) if the applicable shares of Class A Common Stock are uncertificated, issue the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock to which he or she shall be entitled as aforesaid and deliver a notice of issuance of the uncertificated shares or other evidence of shares held in book-entry form at the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above) to the person for whose account such Class B Common Stock was so surrendered, or to his or her nominee or nominees. Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section IV, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of the certificates, if any, or an appropriate instrument or instruction, if applicable, with respect to the Class B Common Stock to be converted; and the person or persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Class B Common Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Class A Common Stock on such date. Upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock, shares of Class B Common Stock so converted will be canceled and retired by the Corporation, such shares shall not be reissued and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall be decreased by the number of shares of Class B Common Stock so converted and the Board of Directors shall take such steps as are required to so retire such shares.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be made without charge for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any such shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the share or shares of Class B Common Stock converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or that no such tax is due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Corporation shall not be required to convert Class B Common Stock, and no surrender of Class B Common Stock shall be effective for that purpose, while the stock transfer books of the Corporation are closed for any purpose; but the surrender of Class B Common Stock for conversion during any period while such books are closed shall be deemed effective for conversion immediately upon the reopening of such books, as if the conversion had been made on the date such Class B Common Stock was surrendered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares; *provided*, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Corporation from satisfying its obligations in respect of the conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock by delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation covenants that if any shares of Class A Common Stock, required to be reserved for purposes of conversion hereunder, require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Class A Common Stock may be issued upon conversion, the Corporation will use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The Corporation will endeavor to list the shares of Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding Class A Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock will, upon issue, be fully paid and non-assessable and not entitled to any preemptive rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V. *Securities Distributions*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Corporation may declare and pay a dividend or distribution consisting of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or any other securities of the Corporation or any other person (hereinafter sometimes called a "<u>share distribution</u>") to holders of one or more classes of Common Stock only in accordance with the provisions of this Section V.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If at any time a share distribution is to be made with respect to Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, such share distribution may be declared and paid only as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a share distribution consisting of shares of Class A Common Stock (or Convertible Securities (as defined below) convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock) to holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, on an equal per share basis;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a share distribution consisting of shares of Class A Common Stock (or Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock) to holders of Class A Common Stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Class B Common Stock (or like Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class B Common Stock) to holders of Class B Common Stock; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a share distribution consisting of any class or series of securities of the Corporation or any other person other than as described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection (b) of this Section V, either (1) on the basis of a distribution of identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or (2) on the basis of a distribution of one class or series of securities to holders of Class A Common Stock and another class or series of securities to holders of Class B Common Stock; *provided*, that the securities so distributed (and, if the distribution consists of Convertible Securities, the securities into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which they are exercisable or exchangeable) do not differ in any respect other than differences in their rights (other than voting rights) consistent in all material respects with the differences between the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock and differences in their relative voting rights, with holders of shares of Class B Common Stock receiving the class or series having the higher relative voting rights (without regard to whether such voting rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in the voting rights of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock provided in Section A.III of this Article FOURTH); *provided*, that if the securities so distributed constitute capital stock of a subsidiary of the Corporation, such voting rights shall not differ to a greater extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock provided in Section A.III of this Article FOURTH, and provided in each case that such distribution is otherwise made on an equal per share basis, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, "<u>Convertible Securities</u>" shall mean any securities of the Corporation (other than any class of Common Stock) or any subsidiary thereof that are convertible into, exchangeable for or evidence the right to purchase any shares of any class of Common Stock, whether upon conversion, exercise, exchange, pursuant to anti-dilution provisions of such securities or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VI. *Liquidation Rights*.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and after payment in full of the amounts to be paid to holders of Preferred Stock as set forth in any Certificates of Designations filed with respect thereto, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be divided among, and paid ratably to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including those persons who shall become holders of Class A Common Stock by reason of the conversion of their shares of

by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.

The NBA has received true and complete copies of each of the Transaction Documents, in the forms to be entered into on the Spin-Off Date. Except for the assignments referred to in clauses (b) and (c) below, the Proposed Transactions will have no effect on (a) the Arena License Agreement dated April 15, 2020 between Knicks LLC and Arenaco, (b) the Sponsorship Sales and Service Representation Agreement dated April 15, 2020 between Knicks Holdings and MSG Sphere Holdings (which is being be assigned to MSGE Holdings in connection with the Proposed Transactions), or the (c) Team Sponsorship Allocation Agreement dated April 15, 2020 between MSG Sports, LLC and MSG Sphere Holdings (which is being be assigned to MSGE Holdings in connection with the Proposed Transactions). None of the above-referenced agreements has been amended, waived or supplemented in any respect since its execution, and each remains in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) All information furnished by or on behalf of the Transaction Parties to the NBA Entities in connection with the request for approval of the Proposed Transactions is true and correct in all material respects and has not contained any material misstatement or omitted any material statement which would make such information not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) No Transaction Party is holding its direct or indirect interest in the Knickerbockers or rights under the Transaction Documents for the benefit of any other person or entity. After giving effect to the Proposed Transactions, no Spinco Party presently has any intention of, or agreement or arrangement with respect to, selling, relocating or otherwise transferring any of its direct or indirect interests in the Arena. Following the consummation of the Proposed Transactions, all Basketball-Related Assets (other than the Arena) will be owned by Knicks LLC and neither Spinco nor any of its subsidiaries will own any Basketball-Related Assets (other than the Arena). As used in this Agreement, the term "Basketball-Related Assets" means,

Following the consummation of the Proposed Transactions, Arenaco will continue to own the Arena and will be an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Spinco; and no Team Party will have any direct or indirect ownership interest in Arenaco. Following the consummation of the Proposed Transactions and for so long as it remains an affiliate of Knicks LLC, Arena Holdco, Arenaco and any other direct or indirect subsidiary of Spinco that does not own substantial assets other than such entity's direct or indirect ownership interests in the Arena (and Spinco if it does not own such other substantial assets) will be an "Arena Affiliate" for purposes of the NBA Debt Policies; thereafter, such entities shall not be "Arena Affiliates" for purposes of the NBA Debt Policies and therefore the Arena and any direct or indirect ownership interests in the Arena Companies may be pledged to secure the indebtedness or obligations of any person or entity. For the avoidance of doubt, following the consummation of the Proposed Transactions, none of MSG Sphere, MSG Sphere Holdings or any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries that is not an Arena Affiliate shall be subject to the Arena Indebtedness limitations in the NBA Debt Policies or any NBA restriction on pledging any of such entity's assets (other than direct or indirect equity interests in an Arena Affiliate as provided in Section 1(vii)) provided that it complies with the foregoing covenant to not own any

Basketball-Related Assets (other than the Arena) and each of the other terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

None of the Transaction Parties shall assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any of their rights, or delegate any of their duties, under any of the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the NBA, and any assignment, pledge, encumbrance or delegation in violation of this provision shall be void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Spinco Parties shall cause Arenaco to operate the Arena in a first class manner, consistent with the manner in which NBA arenas generally are operated, as determined by the NBA Commissioner.

(a) Each of the Transaction Parties, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby releases and forever discharges the NBA Entities, each of the present and future member teams of the NBA (the "NBA Teams") (other than New York Knicks, LLC), and each of their respective predecessors, successors, assigns and affiliates, and the past, present and future direct and indirect directors, officers, employees, agents, owners, partners, members, managers, shareholders, governors, affiliates and subsidiaries of each of the foregoing (collectively, including the NBA Entities and NBA Teams, the "Affiliated NBA Parties") from all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, losses, costs, controversies, damages, liabilities, judgments, claims, and demands whatsoever, in law, admiralty or equity (collectively, "Claims"), known or unknown and arising out of or relating to (i) the Proposed Transactions, or (ii) facts, circumstances, acts or omissions existing or occurring on or prior to the date of this Agreement relating to the business of the NBA Entities or the game of NBA, WNBA, NBA 2K League or G League basketball, that any of the Transaction Parties (or its Affiliates) ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have against any of them. Each of the Transaction Parties represents and warrants to the NBA Entities that none of the Claims purportedly released under the prior sentence has been assigned or transferred to any other party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The release and discharge set forth in Section 3(a) shall not apply to terminate, modify or amend any contracts or agreements between or among the Transaction Parties (or their Affiliates) and any of the Affiliated NBA Parties which were entered into by the Transaction Parties (or their Affiliates) in the ordinary course of their business, or release or discharge any amounts due in the ordinary course under any of those agreements.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. (a) The Transaction Parties jointly and severally shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Affiliated NBA Parties from and against all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, obligations, losses, damages, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively, "Losses") resulting to, imposed upon, asserted against or incurred by any Affiliated NBA Party (including, but not limited to, in any action between any of the Transaction Parties and any Affiliated NBA Party) in connection with or arising out of (i) the Proposed Transactions or any transactions or other acts or occurrences relating to the Proposed Transactions; (ii) any breach or misrepresentation by any of the Transaction Parties under this Agreement; (iii) any act or omission (or alleged act or omission), whether on, prior to or after the date of this Agreement, by or on behalf of any of the Transaction Parties or their respective past, present or future Affiliates, except that in the case of Losses suffered by owners of NBA Teams or their affiliates (other than their NBA Teams and the NBA Entities), such Losses must arise from acts or circumstances related to the business of the NBA Entities or the game of NBA, WNBA, NBA 2K League or G-League basketball, and in the case of Losses suffered by NBA Teams or their affiliates (other than the NBA Entities), such Losses shall not include damages payable by such NBA Team or affiliate to a Transaction Party in a proceeding in which such Transaction Party is the prevailing party, or expenses incurred by such NBA Team or affiliate in such proceeding; or (iv) any Claim (other than a Claim against a particular NBA Team or its owners) by an Affiliate of any of the Transaction Parties that would have been released by such Affiliate under Section 3(a) (after giving effect to Section 3(b)) if it had been defined as an "Transaction Party" for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the request of the NBA, the applicable Transaction Parties shall advance to the NBA or another indemnified party an amount equal to any Losses as those Losses are incurred; provided that in a proceeding between a Transaction Party or its Affiliate and an NBA Team or its affiliate (other than their NBA Teams and the NBA Entities), such Losses must only be advanced upon a final determination that the Transaction Party or its Affiliate is liable in such proceeding.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) None of the Affiliated NBA Parties shall be entitled to bring an indemnification claim against any of the Transaction Parties under this Section 4 without the approval of the NBA Commissioner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Each Transaction Party acknowledges that from time to time it and one or more of the NBA Entities will jointly retain one or more law firms or experts to represent and advise them ("League Advisors"). Each Transaction Party agrees and consents to the representation of the NBA Entities and the other NBA Teams by League Advisors in connection with any and all controversies and disputes, including any litigation or other adversarial proceeding adverse to such Transaction Party. In any such adverse representation, the current or prior representation of such Transaction Party by that League Advisor, and the information that was conveyed to that League Advisor in the course of such representation, shall not be asserted as, and shall not constitute, a basis to disqualify that League Advisor from the adverse representation.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Any notice or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered given when delivered personally, sent by reputable overnight courier or mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at the addresses set forth above (or at such other address as a party may specify by notice similarly given).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. This Agreement and the Closing Certificate contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the Proposed Transactions, and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof; provided that nothing in this Agreement or the Closing Certificate shall (a) amend, terminate or waive any of the terms or provisions (including representations and indemnities) of any Agreement and Undertaking or other agreement or certificate executed by any of the Transaction Parties prior to the date of this Agreement, including the Prior Agreements, or (b) affect any rights or Claims of the Affiliated NBA Parties, or liabilities or obligations of any of the Transaction Parties or other parties, under any such Agreement and Undertaking or other agreement or certificate arising or accrued through the date of this Agreement, including the Prior Agreements, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Transaction Parties and the NBA confirm that: (i) after the Spin-Off Date, MSG Sphere and its subsidiaries shall not have any further obligation to provide operating support to any Spinco Party or any Team Party under the second sentence of Section 2(b) of the 2020 Transaction Agreement or the fourth sentence of Section 2(c) of the 2020 Transaction Agreement, (ii) following a Retained Interest Sale (as defined below), MSG Sphere and its subsidiaries shall not have any obligation under Section 7(a)(ii) or (iii) of the 2015 Agreement and Undertaking for breaches, acts or omissions of any Spinco Party occurring thereafter, (iii) following a Retained Interest Sale, no Spinco Party shall have any obligation under Section 7(a)(ii) or (iii) of the 2015

A "Retained Interest Sale" shall mean a sale, transfer or other disposition of all of the Retained Interest by MSG Sphere Holdings in accordance with NBA Rules pursuant to one of more of the following means: (a) an underwritten public offering to public shareholders, (b) a private sale to an unaffiliated party, (c) an exchange for shares of common stock of MSG Sphere in a registered exchange offer, (d) a distribution to the holders of common stock of MSG Sphere, or (e) a delivery of shares of Class A common stock of Spinco constituting a portion of the Retained Interest by MSG Sphere to Spinco in partial payment of the delayed draw term loan by Spinco, as lender, to MSG Sphere, as borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in New York. Pursuant to Article 24(h) of the NBA Constitution, the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted by the NBA Commissioner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. The covenants and agreements by the Transaction Parties contained in this Agreement shall be construed as several covenants by each of the Transaction Parties in favor of the NBA Entities that may be relied on solely by the NBA Entities, and not as covenants between any of the Transaction Parties. Accordingly, any of such covenants and agreements, and any of the representations made by the Transaction Parties in this Agreement, may be waived, amended,

------

consented to or otherwise approved by the NBA Entities, on the one hand, and the particular Transaction Party to which such covenant, agreement or representation applies, on the other hand, without the consent or approval of any other party, including, but not limited to, in cases where one or more other Transaction Parties has made the same or a similar covenant, agreement or representation that is not being waived, amended, consented to or otherwise approved by the NBA Entities as to such Transaction Party, as applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, each of MSG Sphere, Spinco, Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. and their direct and indirect subsidiaries are Affiliates of each other as of the date of this Agreement and the Spin-Off Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. The Transaction Parties acknowledge and agree that the NBA's approval of the Proposed Transactions and agreements hereunder are subject to: (i) the Spin-Off being consummated on the Spin-Off Date strictly in accordance with the Distribution Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents, (ii) the Transaction Parties executing and delivering to the NBA a certificate dated the Spin-Off Date in the form attached as <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto (the

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ENTERTAINMENT CORP.** 

**TWO PENNSYLVANIA PLAZA** 

**NEW YORK, NY 10121** 

[●], 2023

Dear Stockholder:

I am pleased to report that the previously announced spin-off by Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp., which we refer to as "MSG Entertainment," of approximately 67% of the common stock of its MSGE Spinco, Inc. subsidiary is expected to become effective on [●], 2023. MSGE Spinco, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as "Spinco," will become a public company on that date and will own the Entertainment business segment, excluding MSG Sphere, currently owned and operated by MSG Entertainment, as described in this information statement. We expect that on or prior to the Distribution, Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. will change its name to "MSG Sphere Corp." and Spinco will change its name to "Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp." Spinco's Class A Common Stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which we refer to as "NYSE", under the symbol "MSGE" and we expect that Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") will change its symbol on the NYSE to "SPHR" in connection with the spin-off.

Holders of record of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock as of the close of business, New York City time, on [●], 2023, which will be the record date, will receive one share of Spinco Class A Common Stock for every one share of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock held. Holders of record of MSG Entertainment's Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on the record date will receive one share of Spinco Class B Common Stock for every one share of MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock held. No action is required on your part to receive your Spinco shares. You will not be required either to pay anything for the new shares or to surrender any shares of MSG Entertainment stock.

Immediately following such distribution, MSG Entertainment will retain approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of Spinco common stock in the form of Class A Common Stock. MSG Entertainment will not own any of our Class B Common Stock following the Distribution.

No fractional shares of Spinco stock will be issued. If you otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share, you will receive a check for the cash value thereof, which generally will be taxable to you. In due course you will be provided with information to enable you to compute your tax bases in both MSG Entertainment and Spinco stock. MSG Entertainment expects to obtain an opinion from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP substantially to the effect that, among other things, the distribution by MSG Entertainment of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the holders of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock, respectively (i.e., the distribution), should qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. MSG Entertainment will be required by applicable tax rules to dispose of the retained shares within a fixed period of time, which may occur through a series of steps including sales, exchange offers or pro rata distributions.

The enclosed information statement describes the distribution of shares of Spinco stock and contains important information about Spinco, including financial statements. I suggest that you read it carefully. If you have any questions regarding the Distribution, please contact MSG Entertainment's transfer and distribution agent, EQ Shareowner Services, at 1-800-468-9716 (U.S. toll free) or 651-450-4064 (International).

Sincerely,

James L. Dolan

Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

**Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A Registration Statement on Form 10 relating to these securities has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.** 

**PRELIMINARY INFORMATION STATEMENT** 

**SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED MARCH 22, 2023** 

**INFORMATION STATEMENT** 

## MSGE Spinco, Inc.
**Distribution of** 

**Class A Common Stock** 

**Par Value, $0.01 Per Share** 

**Class B Common Stock** 

**Par Value, $0.01 Per Share** 

------

This information statement is being furnished in connection with the distribution by Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. ("MSG Entertainment") to holders of its common stock of approximately 67% of the outstanding shares of MSGE Spinco, Inc. (collectively, "we," "us," "our," "Spinco," or the "Company") common stock. Immediately following such distribution, MSG Entertainment will retain approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of Spinco common stock in the form of Class A Common Stock. MSG Entertainment will not own any of our Class B Common Stock following the Distribution. Prior to such distribution, we will enter into a series of transactions with MSG Entertainment pursuant to which we will own the Entertainment business segment, excluding MSG Sphere, that was owned and operated by MSG Entertainment, as described in this information statement.

Shares of our Class A Common Stock will be distributed to holders of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock of record as of the close of business, New York City time, on [●], 2023, which will be the record date. Each such holder will receive one share of our Class A Common Stock for every one share of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock held on the record date. Shares of our Class B Common Stock will be distributed to holders of MSG Entertainment's Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on the record date. Each holder of MSG Entertainment's Class B Common Stock will receive one share of our Class B Common Stock for every one share of MSG Entertainment's Class B Common Stock held on the record date. We refer to this distribution of securities as the "Distribution." The Distribution will be effective at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on [●], 2023 (the "Distribution Date"). For MSG Entertainment stockholders who own common stock in registered form, in most cases the transfer and distribution agent will credit their shares of Spinco common stock to book entry accounts established to hold their MSG Entertainment common stock. Our transfer and distribution agent will send these stockholders a statement reflecting their Spinco common stock ownership shortly after [●], 2023. For stockholders who own MSG Entertainment common stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of Spinco common stock will be credited to their accounts by the broker or other nominee. Stockholders will receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, which generally will be taxable. See "The Distribution — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution."

The Company will have two classes of common stock. Our Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share and to collectively elect 25% of our Board of Directors, and our Class B Common Stock will be entitled to ten votes per share and to collectively elect the remaining 75% of our Board of Directors. See "Description of Capital Stock" for more information. As of the Distribution Date, the Dolan family, including trusts for the benefit of members of the Dolan family (the "Dolan Family Group"), will collectively own all of our Class B Common Stock, approximately [●]% of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and approximately [●]% of the total voting power of all our outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company will be a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Dolan Family Group will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders (other than the election of the Class A Directors and any matters requiring a separate vote by the holders of the Class A common stock).

No stockholder approval of the Distribution is required or sought. We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy. MSG Entertainment stockholders will not be required to pay for the shares of our common stock to be received by them in the Distribution, or to surrender or to exchange shares of MSG Entertainment common stock in order to receive our common stock, or to take any other action in connection with the Distribution. There is currently no trading market for our common stock.

We expect that on or prior to the Distribution, Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. will change its name to "MSG Sphere Corp." and MSGE Spinco, Inc. will change its name to "Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp." We will apply to list our Class A Common Stock on the NYSE. Our Class A Common Stock will trade under the symbol "MSGE" and we expect that Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") will change its symbol on the NYSE to "SPHR" in connection with the Distribution. We will not list our Class B Common Stock on any securities exchange.

**SUMMARY** 

The following is a summary of certain of the information contained in this information statement. This summary is included for convenience only and should not be considered complete. This summary is qualified in its entirety by more detailed information contained elsewhere in this information statement, which should be read in its entirety.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to "we," "us," "our," "Spinco" or the "Company" refer to MSGE Spinco, Inc., together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Where we describe in this information statement our business activities, we do so as if the transfer of the Entertainment business segment, excluding MSG Sphere, owned and operated by MSG Entertainment, to Spinco has already occurred.

On or prior to the Distribution, Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. will change its name to "MSG Sphere Corp." and MSGE Spinco, Inc. will change its name to "Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp."

The Company reports on a fiscal year basis ending on June 30. The fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are referred to as "Fiscal Year 2022," "Fiscal Year 2021," and "Fiscal Year 2020," respectively, and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 is referred to as "Fiscal Year 2023."

**Our Company** 

We are a leader in live entertainment experiences, comprised of iconic venues and marquee entertainment content. Utilizing our powerful brands and live entertainment expertise, the Company delivers unique experiences that set the standard for excellence and innovation while forging deep connections with diverse and passionate audiences.

Our company includes (i) our portfolio of venues: Madison Square Garden ("The Garden"), The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, and The Chicago Theatre, (ii) the original production, the *Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes* ("*Christmas Spectacular*"), and (iii) our entertainment and sports bookings business, which showcases a broad array of compelling concerts, family shows and special events, as well as a diverse mix of sporting events, for millions of guests annually.

We manage our business through a single reportable segment.

**Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business** 

The Company's operations and operating results were materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (including COVID-19 variants) and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues during Fiscal Years 2020, 2021 and 2022. For the majority of Fiscal Year 2021, substantially all of our business operations were suspended. Fiscal Year 2022 was also impacted by the pandemic, with fewer ticketed events at our venues in the first half of the fiscal year as compared with Fiscal Year 2019 (the last full fiscal year not impacted by COVID-19) due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and an increase in COVID-19 cases due to a new variant, which resulted in a number of events at our venues being cancelled or postponed in the fiscal second and third quarters.

As a result of government-mandated assembly limitations and closures, all of our venues were closed beginning in March 2020. Use of The Garden resumed for home games of the New York Knicks (the "Knicks") and the New York Rangers (the "Rangers") without fans in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively, and was available at 10% seating capacity from February through May 2021 subject to certain safety protocols and social distancing. Beginning in May 2021, all of our New York venues were permitted to host guests at full capacity, subject to certain restrictions, and effective June 2021, The Chicago Theatre was permitted to host events without restrictions. Guests of our Chicago and New York venues were also subject to certain vaccination

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
requirements until February and March 2022, respectively. Our venues no longer require guests to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination before entering (although specific performers may require enhanced protocols).

For Fiscal Year 2021, the majority of ticketed events at our venues were postponed or cancelled. For Fiscal Year 2022 and as of the date of this filing, live events have been permitted to be held at all of our venues and we are continuing to host and book new events. As a result of an increase in cases of a COVID-19 variant, select bookings were postponed or cancelled at our venues in the second and third quarters of Fiscal Year 2022. Variants of COVID-19 that arise in the future may result in additional postponements or cancellations of bookings at our venues.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations also included the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular* and the cancellation of the 2020 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*.

The Company has long-term arena license agreements (the "Arena License Agreements") with Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ("MSG Sports"), formerly known as The Madison Square Garden Company, that require the Knicks and Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. As discussed above, capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements were in place for the entirety of the Knicks and Rangers 2020-21 regular seasons, which materially impacted the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2021. On July 1, 2021, the Knicks and Rangers began paying the full amounts provided for under their respective Arena License Agreements. The Knicks and the Rangers each completed their 2021-2022 82-game regular seasons, with the Rangers advancing to the playoffs.

It is unclear to what extent COVID-19 concerns, including with respect to new variants, could result in new government- or league-mandated capacity restrictions or vaccination/mask requirements or impact the use of and/or demand for our venues, demand for our sponsorship and signage assets, deter our employees and vendors from working at our venues (which may lead to difficulties in staffing) or otherwise materially impact our operations.

**Our Strengths** 

• Strong position in live entertainment through:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A portfolio of world-renowned venues; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Marquee live entertainment brands and content;

• Significant presence in the New York market – the nation's number one Designated Market Area
("DMA");

• Deep industry relationships that drive top-tier performers and a wide
variety of events to the Company's venues;

• Proven track record of delivering significant value for partners through innovative sponsorships and premium
hospitality;

• Reputation for world-class customer experience driven by decades of expertise in sales and marketing, and venue
operations;

• Expertise in utilizing data to drive decisions to maximize revenue and the experience of our guests;

• Long-term agreements to host home games at The Garden for two of the most recognized franchises in professional
sports — the Knicks and the Rangers; and a

• Strong and seasoned management team.

**Our Strategy** 

Our strategy is to create world-class live experiences for our guests and partners by leveraging (i) our Company's unique portfolio of live entertainment assets and brands; (ii) our expertise in venue management, bookings and productions, sponsorship, ticketing, marketing and premium hospitality, and content development; (iii) our deep relationships across the entertainment and sports industries; and (iv) our strong connection with diverse and passionate audiences. We believe this strategy will enable us to generate long-term value creation for our shareholders.

Key components of our strategy include:

• *Maximizing the live entertainment experience for our customers.* We use the strength of our venues,
expertise and relationships to attract top talent and deliver unforgettable experiences for our guests. We have a track record of designing world-class facilities with top-quality amenities, including our
renovations of The Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and the Beacon Theatre. We also continue to explore new ways to use technology to improve the guest experience. From the way our customers buy food, beverage and merchandise, to how we market and
process their tickets, to utilizing next-generation audio technology in our venues, we strive to give our customers the best experience in the industry. We believe this approach will enable us to drive improvements in per-event revenue and profitability at our venues and help create a seamless and memorable guest experience that will help drive repeat visitation to our venues.

• *Increasing the utilization of our venues.* Part of what drives our success is our "artist first"
approach. Through dedicated artist areas and top-tier service, our talent-friendly environment not only attracts artists to our venues, but also brings them back for repeat performances. Another part of this
approach is how we use our diverse collection of venues. With seating capacities and configurations that range from 2,800 to 21,000, our venue portfolio enables us to shepherd artists through the growth in their careers, helping us develop deeper
industry relationships. We will continue to use this "artist first" approach to attract the industry's top talent with the goal of increasing utilization across all our venues through more multi-night concerts, as well as more marquee
special events. We also plan to continue exploring opportunities for new events that would be unique to our venues, including high-profile residencies that would help build our base of events.

• *Delivering unrivaled marketing exposure for our partners.* Our assets are highly sought after by companies
that value the popularity of our venues and entertainment brands. Our value proposition is further strengthened by our sponsorship sales representation agreement with MSG Sports which enables us to deliver broad-based marketing platforms that
combine our assets with MSG Sports' professional sports brands. We plan to continue utilizing this integrated approach to both renew and extend our relationships with existing partners, as well as to form partnerships with leading companies in
emerging industries and in industry verticals where we are currently underpenetrated. We also offer our partners expanded reach through outdoor signage around the Madison Square Garden Complex and Pennsylvania Station ("Penn Station"), a
major commuter hub in Manhattan. We plan to selectively explore additional opportunities to grow our external signage portfolio, which could increase our existing marketing partnerships packages as well as attract new partners.

• *Offering best-in-class premium hospitality products*. The Company offers a wide array of premium corporate hospitality offerings that cater to a variety of audiences. For example, The Garden has a range of suite and club products, including 21 Event Level suites, 58 Lexus
Level suites, 18 Infosys Level suites, the Caesars Sportsbook Lounge, Suite Sixteen and the HUB Loft. These suites and clubs — which provide exclusive private spaces, first-class amenities and some of the best seats in The Garden — are
primarily licensed to corporate customers with the majority being multi-year agreements with annual escalators. Through our Arena License Agreements with the Knicks and Rangers, we also offer suite holders access to MSG Sports' premium live
sporting events. We believe the strength of our product and content offerings, along with the continued importance of corporate hospitality to our partners, position us well with regard to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
ongoing renewal and new sales activity. We also plan to explore enhancing and expanding our premium hospitality offerings, which would create new monetization opportunities for the Company.

• *Understanding our customers.* We continue to forge direct relationships with customers and fans, with a
focus on understanding how consumers interact with every aspect of the Company. A key component of this strategy is our large and growing proprietary database of millions of customers. The data we collect from our venues and digital products
provides the Company with significant insights into our customers, including who is utilizing our digital assets and attending events at our venues. In addition to providing value for our marketing partners, these insights are leveraged to help
drive revenue and engagement across our assets, providing us with an opportunity to tailor offerings and cross-promote our products and services, introducing customers to our wide range of assets and brands. We also plan to increasingly use data to
proactively identify potential bookings for our venues.

• *Exploring opportunities to expand proprietary entertainment content.* We plan to selectively explore
opportunities to create new live entertainment content, including by leveraging owned intellectual property like the Radio City Rockettes (the "Rockettes"). This would enable us to benefit from the economics of being both content owner and
venue operator. Additional owned content would also make us less reliant on third-party events to drive utilization of our venues.

**Key Challenges** 

Following the Distribution, we may face a number of challenges, both pre-existing and as a result of the Distribution, including:

• Intense competition in the market and industry in which we operate, including with other leisure-time activities
such as television, motion pictures and sporting events and other live performances, and concert venues;

• Dependence upon the continued popularity of the entertainment and sporting events presented in our venues and our
existing brands (including the *Christmas Spectacular* and the National Basketball Association's ("NBA") New York Knicks and the National Hockey League's ("NHL") New York Rangers), which are sensitive to customer
tastes, and our ability to attract popular artists, groups and events to our venues;

• Effectively managing any impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (including COVID-19 variants) as well as renewed actions taken in response by governmental authorities or certain professional sports leagues, including ensuring compliance with rules and regulations imposed upon our venues,
to the extent applicable;

• Significantly levered balance sheet and liquidity restraints imposed by interest and principal payments as well
as a high cost of capital;

• Lack of an operating history as a stand-alone public company;

• Strength or weakness of, as well as volatility and less predictability in, our operating results and cash flow
because the Company's results will no longer include cash flows from MSG Networks Inc. ("MSG Networks") and Tao Group Hospitality; and

• Volatility in the market price and trading volume of our common stock. The market price for our common stock
could fluctuate significantly for many reasons following the Distribution, including the lack of an existing public market for our stock, the information set forth under "Risk Factors" and other reasons unrelated to our performance.

See the section entitled "Risk Factors" for more information on each of these key challenges.

**Organizational Structure** 

The following charts depict a simplified graphical representation of the Company's corporate structure before and after the Distribution. The shares issued in the Distribution will represent approximately 67% of our common stock and MSG Entertainment (to be renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") will retain approximately 33% of our common stock immediately following the Distribution in the form of Class A Common Stock. MSG Entertainment will not own any of our Class B Common Stock following the Distribution. The shares issued in the Distribution will include approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (the holders of which will have the right to collectively elect 25% of our Board of Directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors) and 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (the holders of which will have the right to collectively elect the remaining 75% of our Board of Directors). As a result, the shares issued in the Distribution will represent at least 90% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock with respect to the election of directors. The Dolan family, including trusts for the benefit of members of the Dolan family (collectively, the "Dolan Family Group") will collectively own all of our Class B Common Stock, approximately [●]% of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and approximately [●]% of the total voting power of all our outstanding common stock.

**SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS** 

Ownership of our common stock is subject to numerous risks, including the Distribution, that could adversely affect our business, operations and financial results. The following list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Please read the information in the section entitled "Risk Factors" for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

***Risks Related to Our Business***

• Our business faces intense and wide-ranging competition that may have a material negative effect on our business
and results of operations.

• The success of our business depends on the continued popularity of the *Christmas Spectacular* production,
and the entertainment and sporting events we host at our venues.

• Our operations and operating results were, and may in the future be, materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues.

• We depend on licenses from third parties for the performance of musical works at our venues.

• Our properties are subject to, and benefit from, certain easements, the availability of which may not continue on
terms favorable to us or at all.

• A change to or withdrawal of a New York City real estate tax exemption for the Madison Square Garden Complex may
have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

• We have extended credit to MSG Entertainment, which is a highly leveraged business, on an unsecured basis, and a
default on the loan could impact our results of operations and cash flows.

***Economic and Operational Risks***

• Our business has been adversely impacted and may, in the future, be materially adversely impacted by an economic
downturn, recession, financial instability, inflation or changes in consumer tastes and preferences.

• We do not own all of our venues and our failure to renew our leases on economically attractive terms may have a
material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

• The geographic concentration of our business could subject us to greater risk than our competitors and have a
material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

• Our business could be adversely affected by terrorist activity or the threat of terrorist activity, weather and
other conditions that discourage congregation at prominent places of public assembly.

• We are subject to extensive governmental regulation and our failure to comply with these regulations may have a
material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

• Labor matters may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

***Risks Related to Indebtedness; Financial Condition; Internal Control; Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property***

• We have substantial indebtedness and are highly leveraged, which could adversely affect our business.

• We have and could in the future incur substantial operating losses, adjusted operating losses and negative cash
flow.

• We face continually evolving cybersecurity and similar risk, which could result in loss, disclosure, theft,
destruction or misappropriation of, or access to, our confidential information and cause disruption of our business, damage to our brands and reputation, legal exposure and financial losses.

• Theft of our intellectual property may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Risks Related to the Spin-off Transaction***

• Because there has not been any public market for our common stock, the market price and trading volume of our
common stock may be volatile and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial market price of our stock following the distribution. In addition, future stock sales, including as a result of the exercise of registration rights by
certain of our stockholders, could adversely affect the trading price of our Class A Common Stock.

• The combined post-distribution value of MSG Entertainment and Spinco shares may not equal or exceed the pre-distribution value of MSG Entertainment shares, and we may incur material costs and expenses as a result of our separation from MSG Entertainment.

• The distribution could result in significant tax liability, and we may have a significant indemnity obligation to
MSG Entertainment if the distribution is treated as a taxable transaction.

• The tax rules applicable to the distribution may restrict us from engaging in certain corporate transactions or
from raising equity capital beyond certain thresholds for a period of time after the distribution.

• Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to non-U.S. holders that hold our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock after the distribution if we are treated as a "United States real property holding corporation"
("USRPHC").

• We do not have an operating history as a stand-alone public company and our historical financial results and our
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements may not be representative of our results as a separate, stand-alone company.

• If applicable, following the Distribution, if we are unable to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), or our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, the reliability of our financial statements may be questioned and our stock price may suffer.

• We will share certain key directors and officers with MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and/or AMC Networks, which
means those officers will not devote their full time and attention to our affairs and the overlap may give rise to conflicts. These overlaps may result in the diversion of corporate opportunities and other conflicts, and provisions in our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation may provide us no remedy in that circumstance.

|:---|:---|
| Distributed Company  | Spinco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSG Entertainment, which will own and operate the Entertainment business segment, excluding MSG Sphere, currently owned and operated by MSG Entertainment, as described in this information statement.

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Securities to be Distributed  | Based on [●] shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and [●] shares of MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock outstanding on [●], 2023, approximately [●] shares of our Class A Common Stock and [●] shares of our Class B Common Stock will be distributed. The shares issued in the Distribution will represent approximately 67% of our common stock and MSG Entertainment will retain approximately 33% of our common stock immediately following the Distribution in the form of Class A Common Stock. MSG Entertainment will not own any of our Class B Common Stock following the Distribution. The shares issued in the Distribution will include approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (the holders of which will have the right to collectively elect 25% of our Board of Directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors) and 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (the holders of which will have the right to collectively elect the remaining 75% of our Board of Directors). As a result, the shares issued in the Distribution will represent at least 90% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock with respect to the election of directors.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Fractional Shares  | Fractional shares of our common stock will not be distributed. Fractional shares of our Class A Common Stock will be aggregated and sold in the public market by the transfer and distribution agent and stockholders will receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. Similarly, fractional shares of our Class B Common Stock will be aggregated, converted to Class A Common Stock, and sold in the public market by the transfer and distribution agent. The aggregate net cash proceeds of these sales will be distributed ratably to the stockholders who would otherwise have received fractional interests. These proceeds generally will be taxable to those stockholders. |

---

Distribution Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Shares EQ Shareowner Services will be the distribution agent, transfer agent and registrar for the shares of our common stock.

Record Date The record date is the close of business, New York City time, on [●], 2023.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution  | MSG Entertainment expects to obtain an opinion from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP substantially to the effect that, among other things, the distribution by MSG Entertainment of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the holders of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock, respectively (i.e., the Distribution), should qualify as a tax-free distribution under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Distribution is not expected to result in the recognition of gain to MSG Entertainment with respect to the distribution of our Class A Common Stock or our Class B Common Stock to the MSG Entertainment stockholders and, except to the extent a stockholder receives cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock, no income, gain or loss should be recognized by, and no amount should be included in the income of, such holder upon the receipt of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Distribution. The opinion will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or the courts. See "The Distribution — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution" below. Certain transactions related to the Distribution that are not addressed (or expected to be addressed) by the opinion could result in the recognition of income or gain by MSG Entertainment. The opinion will rely on factual representations and reasonable assumptions, which, if incorrect or inaccurate, may jeopardize the ability to rely on such opinion. MSG Entertainment will be required by applicable tax rules to dispose of the retained shares within a fixed period of time, which may occur through a series of steps including sales, exchange offers or pro rata distributions. |

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Stock Exchange Listing  | There is not currently a public market for our common stock. We will apply for our Class A Common Stock to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol "MSGE" and we expect that Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") will change its symbol on the NYSE to "SPHR" in connection with the Distribution. It is anticipated that trading will commence on a when-issued basis prior to the Distribution. On the first trading day following the date of the Distribution, when-issued trading in respect of our Class A Common Stock will end and regular way trading will begin. Our Class B Common Stock will not be listed on any securities exchange. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Relationship Between MSG Entertainment and Us After the Distribution  | Following the Distribution, we will be a separate public company. MSG Entertainment will initially own approximately 38% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, representing an approximately 33% economic interest in us. MSG Entertainment will not own any of our Class B Common Stock following the Distribution. Prior to the Distribution, we and MSG Entertainment will enter into a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") and several ancillary agreements for the purpose of accomplishing the distribution of our common stock to MSG Entertainment's common stockholders. These agreements also will govern our relationship with MSG Entertainment subsequent to the Distribution and provide for the allocation of employee benefit, tax and some other liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Distribution. These agreements also will include arrangements with respect to transition services (the "Transition Services Agreement") and a number of on-going commercial relationships. The Distribution Agreement includes an agreement that we and MSG Entertainment will provide each other with appropriate indemnities with respect to liabilities arising out of the business being transferred to us by MSG Entertainment. We will also be party to other arrangements with MSG Sports, MSG Entertainment and each entity's subsidiaries. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship Between MSG Entertainment and Us After the Distribution." |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Overlapping Directors and Officers and Potential Conflicts of Interest  | Following the Distribution, there will be an overlap between an officer of the Company, MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment. James L. Dolan will serve as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and MSG Entertainment and as the Executive Chairman of MSG Sports. James L. Dolan also currently serves as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks Inc. ("AMC Networks"), a company controlled by the Dolan family. In addition, Gregg G. Seibert will serve as a Vice Chairman of the Company, MSG Sports, MSG Entertainment and AMC Networks and Charles F. Dolan will serve as Chairman Emeritus of AMC Networks concurrently with his service on our Board of Directors (the "Board  |

---

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of Directors" or the "Board"). Furthermore, immediately following the Distribution, we expect nine of the members of the Board of Directors will also serve as directors of MSG Entertainment, nine will serve as directors of MSG Sports and five will serve as directors of AMC Networks (each of MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and AMC Networks is referred to as an "Other Entity"), including our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks. <br>

There will be no overlap of Class A Directors as between MSG Entertainment and the Company.

The overlapping directors and officers may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting each company. In addition, after the Distribution, certain of our directors and officers will continue to own stock and/or stock options or other equity awards of an Other Entity. These ownership interests could create actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest when these individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for our Company and an Other Entity.

The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will acknowledge that directors and officers of the Company may also be serving as directors, officers, employees or agents of an Other Entity (the "Overlap Persons"), and that the Company may engage in material business transactions with such Other Entities. The Company will renounce its rights to certain business opportunities and the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that no Overlap Person will be liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty that would otherwise occur by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity (other than certain limited types of opportunities set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) to one or more of the Other Entities instead of the Company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunities to the Company. These provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also expressly validate certain contracts, agreements, arrangements and transactions (and amendments, modifications or terminations thereof) between the Company and the Other Entities and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will provide that the actions of the Overlap Persons in connection therewith are not breaches of fiduciary duties owed to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective stockholders.

See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Relationships and Potential Conflicts of Interest" and "Description of Capital Stock — Certain Corporate Opportunities and Conflicts."

Control by Dolan Family Following the Distribution, we will be controlled by the Dolan Family Group. We have been informed that the Dolan Family Group will

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
enter into a stockholders agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") relating, among other things, to the voting of its shares of our Class B Common Stock. As a result, following the Distribution, we will be a "controlled company" under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE. Our Board of Directors has elected not to comply with the NYSE requirements for a majority-independent board of directors and an independent corporate governance and nominating committee because of our status as a controlled company. The Dolan Family Group also controls MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and AMC Networks. See "Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Spin-off Transaction — *We Are Controlled by the Dolan Family. As a Result of Their Control, the Dolan Family Has the Ability to Prevent or Cause a Change in Control or Approve, Prevent or Influence Certain Actions by the Company.*" Immediately following the Distribution, nine of the members of our Board of Directors will be members of the Dolan family. <br>

Post-Distribution Dividend Policy We do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. All decisions regarding the payment of dividends will be made by our Board of Directors from time to time in accordance with applicable law.

Risk Factors Stockholders should carefully consider the matters discussed under "Risk Factors."

*<sup>(a)</sup>* *This adjustment represents the non-cash portion of operating lease revenue related to the Company's Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports. Pursuant to GAAP, recognition of operating lease revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement based upon the value of total future payments under the arrangement. As a result, operating lease revenue is comprised of a contractual cash component plus or minus a non-cash component for each period presented. Operating income on a GAAP basis includes lease income of (i) $20,220 and $17,293 of revenue collected in cash for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and (ii) a non-cash portion of $12,929 and $11,889 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, operating income on a GAAP basis includes lease income of (i) $40,319, $8,319 and nil, respectively, collected in cash, and (ii) a non-cash portion of $27,754, $13,026 and nil, respectively.* 

*Adjusted operating income (loss) ("AOI")* 

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the key financial measure is adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure. We define adjusted income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the impact of non-cash straight-line leasing revenue associated with
the Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs,

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) share-based compensation expense,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) restructuring charges or credits,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) merger and acquisition-related costs, including litigation expenses,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (which was established in November 2021).

The Company believes that given the length of the Arena License Agreements and resulting magnitude of the difference in leasing revenue recognized and cash revenue received, the exclusion of non-cash leasing revenue provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance. Management believes that this adjustment is beneficial for other incremental reasons as well. This adjustment provides senior management, investors and analysts with important information regarding a long-term related party agreement with MSG Sports. In addition, this adjustment is included under the Company's debt covenant compliance calculations and is a component of the performance measures used to evaluate, and compensate, senior management of the Company. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the Company's business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. The Company eliminates merger and acquisition-related costs, when applicable, because the Company does not consider such costs to be indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company as they result from an event that is of a non-recurring nature, thereby enhancing comparability. In addition, management believes that the exclusion of gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which were included for the first time in Fiscal Year 2022, provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance given that, in accordance with GAAP, gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan are recognized in Operating (income) loss whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under the MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which are equal to and therefore fully offset the gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities, are recognized in Other income (expense), net, which is not reflected in Operating income (loss).

The Company believes AOI is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a combined basis. AOI and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze the Company's performance. The Company uses revenues and AOI measures as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators.

AOI should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Since AOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. The Company has presented the components that reconcile operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to AOI.

| **Q:** | **What will the relationship between MSG Entertainment and us be following the Distribution?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | Following the Distribution, we will be a separate public company. MSG Entertainment will initially own approximately 38% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, representing an approximately 33% economic interest in us. In connection with the Distribution, we and MSG Entertainment have entered into a Distribution Agreement and several other agreements for the purpose of accomplishing the Distribution of our common stock to MSG Entertainment's common stockholders. These agreements also govern our relationship with MSG Entertainment subsequent to the Distribution and provide for the allocation of employee benefit, tax and some other liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Distribution. These agreements also include arrangements with respect to transition services under the Transition Services Agreement and a number of ongoing commercial relationships. The Distribution Agreement provides that we and MSG Entertainment will provide each other with appropriate indemnities with respect to liabilities arising out of the business being transferred to us by MSG Entertainment. We will also be party to other arrangements with MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions." Following the Distribution, we and MSG Entertainment will both be controlled by the Dolan Family Group.  |

---

Following the Distribution, there will be an overlap between an officer of the Company and MSG Entertainment. James L. Dolan will serve as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and MSG Entertainment and as the Executive Chairman of MSG Sports. James L. Dolan also

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
currently serves as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks. In addition, Gregg G. Seibert will serve as a Vice Chairman of the Company, MSG Sports, MSG Entertainment and AMC Networks and Charles F. Dolan will serve as Chairman Emeritus of AMC Networks concurrently with his service on our Board. Furthermore, immediately following the Distribution, we expect nine of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company will also serve as directors of MSG Entertainment, nine will serve as directors of MSG Sports and five will serve as directors of AMC Networks, including our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who serves as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks. There will be no overlap of Class A Directors as between MSG Entertainment and the Company.

See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Relationships and Potential Conflicts of Interest" for a discussion of the policy that will be in place for dealing with potential conflicts of interest that may arise from our ongoing relationships with MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and AMC Networks.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **What voting power will current MSG Entertainment shareholders (including the Dolan Family Group) and others hold in the Company immediately following the Distribution?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | In the Distribution, holders of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock will receive a distribution of one share of our Class A Common Stock for every one share of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock held by them on the record date, and holders of MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock will receive a distribution of one share of our Class B Common Stock for every one share of MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock held by them on the record date. The Company's Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and to collectively elect 25% of our Board of Directors, and the Company's Class B Common Stock will be entitled to ten votes per share and to collectively elect the remaining 75% of our Board of Directors. See "Description of Capital Stock" for more information. The Dolan Family Group will collectively own all of our Class B Common Stock, approximately [●]% of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and approximately [●]% of the total voting power of all our outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company will be a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE and the Dolan Family Group will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders (other than the election of the Class A Directors and any matters requiring a separate vote by the holders of the Class A common stock).  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **What do I have to do to participate in the Distribution?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | No action is required on your part. Stockholders of MSG Entertainment on the record date for the Distribution are not required to pay any cash or deliver any other consideration, including any shares of MSG Entertainment common stock, for the shares of our common stock distributable to them in the Distribution.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **If I sell, on or before the Distribution date, shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock that I held on the record date, am I still entitled to receive shares of Spinco Class A Common Stock distributable with respect to the shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock I sold?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | It depends on the market in which you sell your shares. Beginning on [●], 2023 and continuing until the occurrence of the Distribution, MSG Entertainment expects that the MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock will trade in two markets on the NYSE: in the "regular way" market under the symbol "MSGE" and in the "ex-distribution" market under the symbol "SPHR WI". If you own shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock on the record date and thereafter sell those shares regular way on or prior to the Distribution date, you will also be selling the shares of our Class A Common Stock that would have been distributed to you in the Distribution with respect to the shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock you sell.  |

---

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Conversely, a person who purchases shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock after the record date and on or prior to the Distribution date will be entitled to receive from the seller of those shares the shares of our Class A Common Stock issued in the Distribution with respect to the transferred MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock.

However, if you own shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock on the record date and thereafter sell those shares in the ex-distribution market on or prior to the Distribution date, you will not be selling the shares of our Class A Common Stock that will be distributed to you in the Distribution with respect to the shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock you sell. Conversely, a person who purchases shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock in the ex-distribution market after the record date and on or prior to the Distribution date will not be entitled to receive from the seller of those shares the shares of our Class A Common Stock issued in the Distribution with respect to the transferred MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **How will fractional shares be treated in the Distribution?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | If you would be entitled to receive a fractional share of our common stock in the Distribution, you will instead receive a cash payment. See "The Distribution — Manner of Effecting the Distribution" for an explanation of how the cash payments will be determined and "The Distribution — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution" for an explanation of the tax consequences of such cash payments.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **How will MSG Entertainment distribute shares of Spinco common stock to me?**  |

---

A: Holders of shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock or MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock on the record date will receive shares of the same class of our common stock in book entry form. See "The Distribution — Manner of Effecting the Distribution" for a more detailed explanation.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **What is the reason for the Distribution?**  |

---

A: The potential benefits considered by MSG Entertainment's board of directors in making the determination to consummate the Distribution included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to provide each of MSG Entertainment and the Company with increased flexibility to fully pursue and fund its
business plan, including capital expenditures, investments and acquisitions that would be more difficult to consider or effectuate in the absence of the Distribution. This increased financial flexibility reflects the belief that investors in a
company with the mix of assets that each of MSG Entertainment and the Company will own following the Distribution will be more receptive to strategic initiatives that MSG Entertainment and the Company may respectively pursue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to increase the aggregate value of the stock of MSG Entertainment and the Company above the value that the stock
of MSG Entertainment would have had if it had continued to represent an interest in both the businesses of MSG Entertainment and the Company, so as to: (i) allow each company to use its stock to pursue and achieve strategic objectives,
including evaluating and effectuating acquisitions and increasing the long-term attractiveness of equity compensation programs in a significantly more efficient and effective manner with significantly less dilution to existing stockholders; and
(ii) allow each company to offer a more focused investment profile to investors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to provide MSG Entertainment, through the retained equity interest, with the opportunity to raise cash proceeds
for corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and/or to use such shares for other transactions that would be advantageous for MSG Entertainment and its stockholders. These capital expenditures will include funds that will be utilized to
pursue growth opportunities associated with

MSG Entertainment's Sphere initiative. In addition, upon the Distribution, MSG Entertainment will pledge the entire retained equity interest to secure the $275 million senior secured term loan facility of MSG Las Vegas, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MSG Entertainment, which was entered into on December 22, 2022. This pledge will be released once the Las Vegas Sphere has been substantially completed and certain of its systems are ready to be used in live, immersive events. The Company will have no interest, contractual or otherwise, in the Sphere venues. <br>

MSG Entertainment's board of directors also considered several factors that might have a negative effect on MSG Entertainment as a result of the Distribution. MSG Entertainment's common stock may come under initial selling pressure as certain MSG Entertainment stockholders sell their shares because they are not interested in holding an investment in MSG Entertainment's remaining business. Moreover, certain factors, such as a lack of comparable public companies, may limit investors' ability to appropriately value MSG Entertainment's common stock. In addition, the Distribution would separate from MSG Entertainment the business and assets of the Company, which represent significant value. Because the Company will no longer be part of MSG Entertainment, the Distribution will also affect the terms upon which MSG Entertainment can pursue cross-company business transactions and initiatives with the Company. In addition, after the Distribution, MSG Entertainment's results will not reflect the generally more predictable cash flow from the Entertainment business segment, which may result in more volatile and less predictable operating results and cash flow for MSG Entertainment. Finally, following the Distribution, MSG Entertainment and its remaining business will need to absorb certain corporate and administrative costs previously allocated to its Entertainment business segment.

MSG Entertainment's board of directors considered certain aspects of the Distribution that may be adverse to the Company. The Company's common stock may come under initial selling pressure as certain MSG Entertainment stockholders sell their shares in the Company because they are not interested in holding an investment in the Company's business. Moreover, certain factors, such as a lack of comparable public companies, may limit investors' ability to appropriately value the Company's common stock. Because the Company will no longer be part of MSG Entertainment, the Distribution will also affect the terms upon which the Company can pursue cross-company business transactions and initiatives with MSG Entertainment's other businesses. In addition, after the Distribution, the Company's results will not reflect cash flow from the MSG Networks and Tao Group Hospitality businesses. As a result of the Distribution, the Company will bear significant incremental costs associated with being a publicly held company and will need to absorb certain corporate and operational support costs previously allocated to MSG Entertainment. This cost increase will be partially offset by payments that the Company will receive from MSG Entertainment resulting from the establishment of the Transition Services Agreement, which will be recorded as a reduction of operating expenses. Refer to the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" section for further details.

| A: | MSG Entertainment expects to obtain an opinion from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP substantially to the effect that, among other things, the distribution by MSG Entertainment of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the holders of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock, respectively (i.e., the Distribution), should qualify as a tax-free distribution under the Code. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Distribution is not expected to result in the recognition of gain to MSG Entertainment with respect to the distribution of our Class A Common Stock or our Class B Common Stock to the MSG Entertainment stockholders and, except to the extent that you receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock, you should not recognize income, gain or loss, and no amount should be included in your income upon the receipt of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Distribution. The opinion will not be binding on the IRS or the courts. See "The Distribution — Material  |

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution." Certain transactions related to the Distribution that are not addressed (or expected to be addressed) by the opinion could result in the recognition of income or gain by MSG Entertainment. The opinion will rely on factual representations and reasonable assumptions, which, if incorrect or inaccurate, may jeopardize the ability to rely on such opinion. MSG Entertainment does not intend to request any ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Distribution. MSG Entertainment will be required by applicable tax rules to dispose of the retained shares within a fixed period of time, which may occur through a series of steps, including sales, exchange offers or pro rata distributions.

| **Q:** | **Does Spinco intend to pay cash dividends?**  |

---

A: No. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. All decisions regarding the payment of dividends will be made by our Board of Directors from time to time in accordance with applicable law.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **How will Spinco common stock trade?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | Currently, there is no public market for our common stock. We will apply for our Class A Common Stock to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol "MSGE" (and we will change our name to "Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.") and we expect that Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. will change its symbol on the NYSE to "SPHR" (and be renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") in connection with the Distribution. It is anticipated that trading will commence on a when-issued basis prior to the Distribution. On the first trading day following the Distribution date, when-issued trading in respect of our Class A Common Stock will end and regular way trading will begin. Our Class B Common Stock will not be listed on a securities exchange.  |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:** | **Will the Distribution affect the trading price of my MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | Yes. After the initial distribution of our Class A Common Stock, the trading price of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock may be lower than the trading price of the MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Distribution. Moreover, until the market has evaluated the operations of MSG Entertainment without the operations of the Entertainment business segment (except for MSG Sphere) that was owned and operated by MSG Entertainment, the trading price of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock may fluctuate significantly. MSG Entertainment believes that the separation of the Company from MSG Entertainment offers its stockholders the greatest long-term value. However, the combined trading prices of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and Spinco Class A Common Stock after the Distribution may be lower than the trading price of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock prior to the Distribution. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 27.  |

| **Q:** | **Can MSG Entertainment decide to cancel the Distribution?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | Yes. The occurrence of the Distribution will be subject to certain conditions, including the final approval of the MSG Entertainment board of directors. The MSG Entertainment board of directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine to impose or waive conditions to the Distribution or abandon the Distribution. If the MSG Entertainment board of directors decides to cancel the Distribution or otherwise materially amend the terms of the Distribution, MSG Entertainment will notify stockholders of such decision by issuing a press release and/or filing a current report on Form 8-K.  |

| **Q:** | **What is the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement, why is it being extended to MSG Entertainment and what are the risks associated with it?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | Prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the Distribution, we expect to enter into the Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement with MSG Entertainment, pursuant to which our subsidiary MSG Entertainment Holdings will commit to lend on an unsecured basis up to $65 million in delayed draw term loans to MSG Entertainment for a period of 18 months following the consummation of the Distribution. The loans will provide MSG Entertainment with an additional source of liquidity if needed for funding costs related to the MSG Sphere initiative and the refinancing of indebtedness under the MSG Networks Credit Facility (as defined below). See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—*Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility."*  |

---

The loans will be unsecured. No assurances can be made that MSG Entertainment will be in a position to make repayment of the loan, and accordingly, we are subject to the risk that MSG Entertainment may default on the financing that we provide. MSG Entertainment is a highly leveraged business with existing credit facilities at Tao Group Hospitality, MSG Networks and has continued to incur indebtedness, most recently when its subsidiary MSG Las Vegas, LLC entered into a credit agreement in December 2022. Our loan to MSG Entertainment will be structurally subordinated to the approximately $1.3 billion of debt of MSG Entertainment's subsidiaries. MSG Entertainment continues to have significant cash needs including continued expenditures on its Sphere initiative and the expectation that it will pay down a portion of MSG Networks' term loan in connection with its refinancing prior to its maturity in October 2024. MSG Entertainment's ability to make payments on, repay or refinance, its debt – including the financing we provided – depends upon its future operating performance and execution of its business plan, which could be impacted by a recession or economic downturn, or other changes specifically affecting its business or industry. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that MSG Entertainment will be in a position to make repayment of the loan. If MSG Entertainment defaults on its loan, it could impair our assets and create losses related to such loan, and as a result, our business could be adversely affected. If we are unable to recover the principal amount of the loan from a default, there may be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—*We Have Extended Credit to MSG Entertainment, Which is a Highly Leveraged Business, on an Unsecured Basis, and a Default on the Loan Could Impact Our Results of Operations and Cash Flows."*

**RISK FACTORS** 

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all the other information contained in this information statement in evaluating us and our common stock.

**Risks Related to Our Business** 

*Our Business Faces Intense and Wide-Ranging Competition That May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

Our business competes, in certain respects and to varying degrees, with other leisure-time activities such as television, radio, motion pictures, sporting events and other live performances, the Internet, social media and social networking platforms, and online and mobile services, including sites for online content distribution, video on demand and other alternative sources of entertainment and information, in addition to competing for concerts with other event venues, for total entertainment dollars in our marketplace.

The success of our business is largely dependent on the continued success of the *Christmas Spectacular*, and the availability of, and our venues' ability to attract, concerts, family shows, sporting events and other events, competition for which is intense, and the ability of performers to attract strong attendance at our venues. For example, The Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre all compete with other entertainment options in the New York City metropolitan area. The Chicago Theatre faces similar competition from other entertainment options in its market and elsewhere.

In addition, our business is highly sensitive to customer tastes and depends on our ability to attract artists and events. The success of our business depends in part upon our ability to offer live entertainment that is popular with customers. We contract with promoters and others to provide performers and events at our venues. There may be a limited number of popular artists, groups or events that can attract audiences to our venues, and our business would suffer to the extent that we are unable to continue to attract such artists, groups and events to perform at our venues. See "— Risks Related to Our Business — *Our Operations and Operating Results Were, and May in the Future be, Materially Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Actions Taken in Response by Governmental Authorities and Certain Professional Sports Leagues.*"

In order to maintain the competitive positions of The Garden and our other venues, we must invest on a continuous basis in state-of-the-art technology. In addition, we must maintain a competitive pricing structure for events that may be held in our venues, many of which have alternative venue options available to them in New York and other cities. We invest a substantial amount in our *Christmas Spectacular* to continue to attract audiences. We cannot be assured that such investments will generate revenues that are sufficient to justify our investment or even that exceed our expenses.

*The Success of Our Business Depends on the Continued Popularity of the Christmas Spectacular Production, and the Sporting Events We Host at Our Venues, the Decline of Which Could Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

The financial results of our business are dependent on the *Christmas Spectacular* production, for which the 2019 production (the last production presented prior to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) represented 22% of our revenues in Fiscal Year 2020. Fan and consumer tastes also change frequently and it is a challenge to anticipate what will be successful at any point in time. Should the popularity of the *Christmas Spectacular* decline (including, for example, due to customer unwillingness to travel to New York City, purchase tickets to a full-capacity indoor event, comply with safety protocols or satisfy vaccination requirements to the extent applicable, all as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), our revenues from ticket sales and concession and merchandise sales would likely decline, and we might not be able to replace the lost revenue with revenues from other sources.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
As a result of our commercial agreements with MSG Sports, the success of our business is also impacted in part by the popularity of MSG Sports' Knicks and Rangers franchises with their fan bases and, in varying degrees, the teams achieving on-court and on-ice success, which can generate fan enthusiasm, resulting in additional suite, sponsorship, food and beverage and merchandise sales during the teams' regular seasons. Furthermore, success in the regular season may qualify the Knicks and Rangers for participation in post-season playoffs, which provides us with additional revenue by increasing the number of games played by the teams at The Garden, potentially helping improve attendance in subsequent seasons and increasing the popularity of our suites and sponsorships.

*Our Operations and Operating Results Were, and May in the Future be, Materially Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Actions Taken in Response by Governmental Authorities and Certain Professional Sports Leagues.* 

The Company's operations and operating results were materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (including COVID-19 variants) and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues during Fiscal Years 2020, 2021 and 2022.

As a result of government-mandated assembly limitations and closures, all of our venues were closed beginning in March 2020 and substantially all of our business operations were suspended for the majority of Fiscal Year 2021. Use of The Garden resumed for Knicks and Rangers home games without fans in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively, and was available at 10% seating capacity from February through May 2021 subject to certain safety protocols and social distancing. As a result, the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements during this period were materially impacted. Beginning in May 2021, all of our New York venues were permitted to host guests at full capacity, subject to certain restrictions, and effective June 2021, The Chicago Theatre was permitted to host events without restrictions. Guests of our Chicago and New York venues were also subject to certain vaccination requirements until February and March 2022, respectively. During Fiscal Year 2022, we had fewer ticketed events at our venues in the first half of the fiscal year as compared with Fiscal Year 2019 (the last full fiscal year not impacted by COVID-19) due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and an increase in COVID-19 cases due to a new variant, which resulted in a number of events at our venues being cancelled or postponed in the second and third fiscal quarters. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations also included (i) the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular* and (ii) the cancellation of the 2020 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*. As a direct response to this disruption, during Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021, the Company implemented cost savings initiatives in order to streamline operations and preserve liquidity, including furloughing our venue employees while activities were limited, reducing our full-time workforce and implementing additional comprehensive cost reduction measures, such as terminating certain third-party services, negotiating reduced rates and/or reduced service levels with third parties, pursuing targeted savings and reductions in spending on marketing and travel and entertainment, and deferring or limiting non-essential operating or other discretionary expenses. During Fiscal Years 2021 and 2020, over 90% and over 70% of the respective overall declines in our revenues were the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in each case compared to the prior year period. While the Company substantially recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic during Fiscal Year 2022, the Company still experienced some softness in bookings and attendance, most notably at the beginning of the year along with certain event postponements and cancellations throughout the year, although not at the level of the prior two fiscal years. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Results of Operations."

It is unclear to what extent COVID-19 concerns, including with respect to new variants, could result in renewed government or league-mandated capacity restrictions or vaccination/mask requirements or impact the use of and/or demand for our venues, demand for our sponsorship and signage assets, deter our employees and vendors from working at our venues (which may lead to difficulties in staffing) or otherwise materially impact our operations. Governmental regulations enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the revenue we derive and/or the expenses we incur from events that we choose to host such that events that were historically profitable would instead result in losses. Concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic could deter artists from touring and/or substantially decrease the use of and demand for our venues. Both the NBA and NHL

determined to complete their 2019-20 seasons with games away from home arenas, reduce the number of regular season games for the 2020-21 seasons, and conduct the majority of the shortened 2020-21 seasons without fans in attendance, and it is possible that concerns related to COVID-19 could cause professional sports teams in the United States to play games without an audience during future seasons or to suspend, cancel or otherwise reduce the number of games scheduled in the regular reason or playoffs, which could have a material impact on the payments we receive under the Arena License Agreements. See "— Economic and Operational Risks — *We Are Subject to Extensive Governmental Regulation and Our Failure to Comply with These Regulations May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations*."

Our business is particularly sensitive to reductions in travel and discretionary consumer spending. A pandemic, such as COVID-19, could also impede economic activity in impacted regions and globally over the long term, potentially causing a global recession and leading to a further decline in discretionary spending on sports and entertainment events and other leisure activities, which could result in long-term effects on our business. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Risk Factors" section, such as those relating to our liquidity, indebtedness and our ability to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.

*Our Business Strategy Includes the Development of New Productions, Which Could Require Us to Make Considerable Investments for Which There Can Be No Guarantee of Success.* 

As part of our business strategy, we intend to develop new productions for our existing venues, which may include expansions or enhancements of our existing productions or the creation of entirely new productions. Expansion or enhancement of productions and/or the development of new productions could require significant upfront expense that may never result in a viable show, as well as investment in sets, staging, creative processes, commissioning and/or licensing of intellectual property, casting and advertising, and may lead to dislocation of other alternative sources of entertainment that may have played in our venues absent these productions. To the extent that any efforts at expanding or enhancing productions or creating new productions do not result in a viable show, or to the extent that any such productions do not achieve expected levels of popularity among audiences, we may not recover the substantial expenses we previously incurred for non-capitalized investments, or may need to write-off all or a portion of capitalized investments. In addition, any delay in launching such productions or enhancements could result in the incurrence of operating costs which may not be recouped. For example, we wrote off approximately $75.4 million of deferred production costs across Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017 related to the *New York Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes.*

*Our Business is Highly Sensitive to Customer Tastes and Depends on Our Ability to Attract Artists and Events.* 

The success of our business depends in part upon our ability to offer live entertainment that is popular with customers. We contract with promoters and others to provide performers and events at our venues. There may be a limited number of popular artists, groups or events that can attract audiences to our venues, and our business would suffer to the extent that we are unable to continue to attract such artists, groups and events to perform at our venues.

*We Depend on Licenses from Third Parties for the Performance of Musical Works at Our Venues, the Loss of Which or Renewal of Which on Less Favorable Terms May Have a Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

We are required to obtain public performance licenses from music performing rights organizations, commonly known as "PROs," in connection with the performance of musical works at concerts and certain other live events held at our venues. In exchange for public performance licenses, PROs are paid a per-event royalty, traditionally calculated either as a percentage of ticket revenue or a per-ticket amount. The PRO royalty obligation of any individual event is generally paid by, or charged to, the promoter of the event.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
If we are unable to obtain these licenses, or are unable to obtain them on favorable terms consistent with past practice, it may have a negative effect on our business and results of operations. An increase in the royalty rate and/or the revenue base on which the royalty rate is applied could substantially increase the cost of presenting concerts and certain other live events at our venues. If we are no longer able to pass all or a portion of these royalties on to promoters (or other venue licensees), it may have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

*Our Properties Are Subject to, and Benefit from, Certain Easements, the Availability of Which May Not Continue on Terms Favorable to Us or at All.* 

Our properties are subject to, and benefit from, certain easements. For example, the "breezeway" into the Madison Square Garden Complex from Seventh Avenue in New York City is a significant easement that we share with other property owners. Our ability to continue to utilize these and other easements, including for advertising and promotional purposes, requires us to comply with a number of conditions. Certain adjoining property owners have easements over our property, which we are required to maintain so long as those property owners meet certain conditions. It is possible that we will be unable to continue to access or maintain any easements on terms favorable to us, or at all, which could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

*A Change to or Withdrawal of a New York City Real Estate Tax Exemption for the Madison Square Garden Complex May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

Many arenas, ballparks and stadiums nationally and in New York City have received significant public support, such as tax exempt financing, other tax benefits, direct subsidies and other contributions, including for public infrastructure critical to the facilities such as parking lots and transit improvements. Our Madison Square Garden Complex benefits from a more limited real estate tax exemption pursuant to an agreement with the City of New York, subject to certain conditions, and legislation enacted by the State of New York in 1982. For Fiscal Year 2022, the tax exemption was $41.9 million. From time to time, there have been calls to repeal or amend the tax exemption. For example, in January 2023, a number of elected representatives issued a public letter noting the tax exemption status should be reexamined. Notwithstanding the suggestion in the public letter, any repeal or amendment of the tax exemption status would require legislative action by New York State.

We are party to Arena License Agreements with subsidiaries of MSG Sports that require two of MSG Sports' professional sports teams — the Knicks and Rangers — to play all of their home games at The Garden. Under the Arena License Agreements, which each have a term of 35 years (unless extended), the Knicks and the Rangers pay an annual license fee in connection with their respective use of The Garden. In addition, the Arena License Agreements provide us with additional revenue opportunities. Under the Arena License Agreements, the teams are responsible for 100% of any real property or similar taxes applicable to The Garden.

If the tax exemption is repealed or the teams are otherwise subject to the property tax due to no fault of the teams, the revenue that we generate from team events will be reduced on a percentage basis as set forth in the Arena License Agreements. The value of any such revenue reduction could be significant but is expected to be substantially less than the property tax paid by the teams. There can be no assurance that the tax exemption will not be amended in a manner that imposes property tax or repealed in its entirety, either of which could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

*We Have Extended Credit to MSG Entertainment, Which is a Highly Leveraged Business, on an Unsecured Basis, and a Default on the Loan Could Impact Our Results of Operations and Cash Flows.* 

Prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the Distribution, we expect to enter into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement with MSG Entertainment (the "DDTL Facility"), pursuant to which a subsidiary of Spinco will commit to lend on an unsecured basis up to $65 million in delayed draw term loans to MSG Entertainment for a period of 18 months following the consummation of the Distribution. MSG Entertainment is

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
a highly leveraged business with existing credit facilities at Tao Group Hospitality, MSG Networks and has continued to incur indebtedness, most recently when its subsidiary MSG Las Vegas, LLC entered into a credit agreement in December 2022. Our loan to MSG Entertainment will be structurally subordinated to the approximately $1.3 billion of debt of MSG Entertainment's subsidiaries. MSG Entertainment continues to have significant cash needs including continued expenditures on its Sphere initiative and the expectation that it will pay down a portion of MSG Networks' term loan in connection with its refinancing prior to its maturity in October 2024. MSG Entertainment's ability to make payments on, repay or refinance, its debt – including the financing we provided – depends upon its future operating performance and execution of its business plan, which could be impacted by a recession or economic downturn, or other changes specifically affecting its business or industry. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that MSG Entertainment will be in a position to make repayment of the loan.

If MSG Entertainment defaults on its loan, it could impair our assets and create losses related to such loan, and as a result, our business could be adversely affected. If we are unable to recover the principal amount of the loan from a default, there may be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

**Economic and Operational Risks** 

*Our Business Has Been Adversely Impacted and May, in the Future, Be Materially Adversely Impacted by an Economic Downturn, Recession, Financial Instability, Inflation or Changes in Consumer Tastes and Preferences.* 

Our business depends upon the ability and willingness of consumers and businesses to purchase tickets at our venues, license suites and club memberships at The Garden, spend on food and beverages and merchandise, and drive continued sponsorship and signage revenues, and these revenues are sensitive to general economic conditions, recession, fears of recession and consumer behavior. For example, following the 2008 financial crisis, we experienced a lower level of event bookings and reduced renewals of certain of our suite licenses, which adversely affected the Company's results of operations. Further, the industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic conditions, discretionary spending priorities, demographic trends, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing businesses.

Consumer and corporate spending may decline at any time for reasons beyond our control, and the risks associated with our businesses may become more acute in periods of a slowing economy or recession, which may be accompanied by reductions in corporate sponsorship and signage and decreases in attendance at live events, among other things. In addition, inflation, which has significantly risen, has and may continue to increase operational costs, including labor costs, and continued increases in interest rates in response to concerns about inflation may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks. As a result, instability and weakness of the U.S. and global economies, including due to the effects caused by disruptions to financial markets, inflation, recession, high unemployment, geopolitical events and other effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative effects on consumers' and businesses' discretionary spending, have and may continue to materially negatively affect our business and results of operations. A prolonged period of reduced consumer or corporate spending, including with respect to sponsorship, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, could have an adverse effect on our business and our results of operations. See "— Risks Related to Our Business — *Our Operations and Operating Results Were, and May in the Future be, Materially Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Actions Taken in Response by Governmental Authorities and Certain Professional Sports Leagues*."

*We Do Not Own All of Our Venues and Our Failure to Renew Our Leases on Economically Attractive Terms May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

We lease the Beacon Theatre and Radio City Music Hall under long-term leases that expire in 2036 and 2038, respectively. MSG Entertainment Group, LLC ("MSG Entertainment Group"), the entity that guarantees

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the lease for Radio City Music Hall is required to maintain a certain net worth that if not maintained would require the entity to post a letter of credit or provide cash collateral. In connection with the Distribution, we expect MSG Entertainment Holdings, LLC ("MSG Entertainment Holdings") to become the entity that guarantees the lease.

*The Geographic Concentration of Our Business Could Subject Us to Greater Risk Than Our Competitors and Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.*

The Company primarily operates in New York City and, as a result, is subject to greater degrees of risk than competitors with more operating properties or that operate in more markets. The Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre are all located in New York City. Therefore, the Company is particularly vulnerable to adverse events (including acts of terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, weather conditions, labor market disruptions and government actions) and economic conditions in New York City and surrounding areas. For example, our operations and operating results were materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. See "— Risks Related to Our Business — *Our Operations and Operating Results Were, and May in the Future be, Materially Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Actions Taken in Response by Governmental Authorities and Certain Professional Sports Leagues*."

*Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected by Terrorist Activity or the Threat of Terrorist Activity, Weather and Other Conditions That Discourage Congregation at Prominent Places of Public Assembly.* 

The success of our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of patrons to attend events at our venues. The venues we operate, like all prominent places of public assembly, could be the target of terrorist activities, including acts of domestic terrorism, or other actions that discourage attendance. Any such activity or threatened activity at or near one of our venues or other similar venues, including those located elsewhere, could result in reduced attendance at our venues and a material negative effect on our business and results of operations. Similarly, a major epidemic or pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or the threat or perceived threat of such an event, could adversely affect attendance at our events and venues by discouraging public assembly at our events and venues. Moreover, the costs of protecting against such incidents, including the costs of implementing additional protective measures for the health and safety of our guests, could reduce the profitability of our operations. See "— Risks Related to Our Business — *Our Operations and Operating Results Were, and May in the Future be, Materially Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Actions Taken in Response by Governmental Authorities and Certain Professional Sports Leagues*."

Weather or other conditions, including natural disasters, in locations where we own or operate venues may affect patron attendance as well as sales of food and beverages and merchandise, among other things. Weather conditions may also require us to cancel or postpone events. Any of these events may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations, and any such events may harm our ability to obtain or renew insurance coverage on favorable terms or at all.

*We May Pursue Acquisitions and Other Strategic Transactions and/or Investments to Complement or Expand Our Business That May Not Be Successful.* 

From time to time, we may continue to explore opportunities to purchase or invest in other businesses, venues or assets that we believe will complement, enhance or expand our current business or that might otherwise offer us growth opportunities, including opportunities that may differ from the Company's current business. Any transactions that we are able to identify and complete may involve risks, including the commitment of significant capital, the incurrence of indebtedness, the payment of advances, the diversion of management's attention and resources from our existing business to develop and integrate the acquired or combined business, the inability to successfully integrate such business or assets into our operations, litigation or other claims in connection with acquisitions or against companies we invest in or acquire, our lack of control over certain companies, including joint ventures and other minority investments, the risk of not achieving the intended results and the exposure to losses if

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the underlying transactions or ventures are not successful. At times, we have had significant investments in businesses that we account for under the equity method of accounting, and we may again in the future. Certain of these investments have generated operating losses in the past and certain have required additional investments from us in the form of equity or loans. There can be no assurance that these investments will become profitable individually or in the aggregate or that they will not require material additional funding from us in the future.

We may not control the day-to-day operations of these investments. We have in the past written down and, to the extent that these investments are not successful in the future, we may write down all or a portion of such investments. Additionally, these businesses may be subject to laws, rules and other circumstances, and have risks in their operations, which may be similar to, or different from, those to which we are subject. Any of the foregoing risks could result in a material negative effect on our business and results of operations or adversely impact the value of our investments.

*We Are Subject to Extensive Governmental Regulation and Our Failure to Comply with These Regulations May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

Our business is subject to the general powers of federal, state and local governments, as well as foreign governmental authorities. We are also subject to the rules, regulations and decisions of the NBA and NHL.

• *Public Health and Safety.* As a result of government mandated assembly limitations and closures implemented
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our venues were unable to host events for the substantial majority of Fiscal Year 2021. There can be no assurance that some or all of these restrictions will not be
imposed again in the future due to increased infection rates of COVID-19 or another pandemic. We are unable to predict what the long-term effects of these events, including renewed government regulations or
requirements, will be. For example, future governmental regulations adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the revenue we derive and/or the expenses we incur from the events that we choose to
host, such that events that were historically profitable would instead result in losses. See "— Risks Related to Our Business — *Our Operations and Operating Results Have Been, and May in the Future be, Materially Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Actions Taken in Response by Governmental Authorities and Certain Professional Sports Leagues.* "

• *Hospitality-related Permits/Licenses*. We hold liquor licenses at each of our venues and are subject to
licensing requirements with respect to the sale of alcoholic beverages in the jurisdictions in which we serve those beverages. Failure to receive or retain, or the suspension of, liquor licenses or permits could interrupt or terminate our ability to
serve alcoholic beverages at the applicable venue and could have a material negative effect on our business and our results of operations. Additional regulation relating to liquor licenses may limit our activities in the future or significantly
increase the cost of compliance, or both. In the jurisdictions in which our venues are located, we are subject to statutes that generally provide that serving alcohol to a visibly intoxicated or minor patron is a violation of the law and may provide
for strict liability for certain damages arising out of such violations. Our liability insurance coverage may not be adequate or available to cover any potential liability.

• *Environmental Laws*. We and our venues are subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to the
use, disposal, storage, emission and release of hazardous and non-hazardous substances, as well as zoning and noise level restrictions which may affect, among other things, the operations of our venues.
Compliance with these regulations and the associated costs may be heightened as a result of the purchase, construction or renovation of a venue. Additionally, certain laws and regulations could hold us strictly, jointly and severally responsible for
the remediation of hazardous substance contamination at our facilities or at third-party waste disposal sites, as well as for any personal injury or property damage related to any contamination.

• *Zoning and Building Regulations.* Our venues are subject to zoning and building regulations including
permits relating to the operation of The Garden. The Garden requires a special zoning permit, which was originally granted by the New York City Planning Commission in 1963 and renewed in July 2013 for 10 years. Certain government officials and
special interest groups sought to use the renewal process to pressure

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
us to improve Penn Station or to relocate The Garden. There can be no assurance regarding the future renewal of the permit or the terms thereof, and the failure to obtain such renewal or to do so on favorable terms could have a negative effect on our business.

• *Data Privacy*. We are subject to various data privacy and protection laws, regulations, policies and
contractual obligations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage, processing and use of personal information or personal data, which, among other things, impose certain requirements relating to the privacy and security of personal
information. The variety of laws and regulations governing data privacy and protection, and the use of the internet as a commercial medium, are rapidly evolving, extensive and complex, and may include provisions and obligations that are inconsistent
with one another or uncertain in their scope or application.

The data protection landscape is rapidly evolving in the United States. As our operations and business grow, we may become subject to or affected by new or additional data protection laws and regulations and face increased scrutiny or attention from regulatory authorities. For example, California has passed a comprehensive data privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA"), and other states, including Virginia and Colorado, have also passed similar laws. Additionally, the California Privacy Rights Act (the "CPRA") imposed additional data protection obligations on covered businesses, including additional consumer rights procedures and obligations, limitations on data uses, new audit requirements for higher-risk data, and constraints on certain uses of sensitive data. The majority of the CPRA provisions went into effect on January 1, 2023, and additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required. Further, there are several legislative proposals in the United States, at both the federal and state level, that could impose new privacy and security obligations. We cannot yet determine the impact that these future laws and regulations may have on our business.

In addition, governmental authorities and private litigants continue to bring actions against companies for online collection, use, dissemination and security practices that are unfair or deceptive.

Our business is, and may in the future be, subject to a variety of other laws and regulations, including licensing, permitting, and historic designation and similar requirements; working conditions, labor, immigration and employment laws; health, safety and sanitation requirements; and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (and related state and local statutes).

Any changes to the legal and regulatory framework applicable to our business could have an adverse impact on our business and our failure to comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations, or to maintain necessary permits or licenses, could result in liability or government actions that could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

*Our Business Is Subject to Seasonal Fluctuations, and Our Operating Results and Cash Flow Could Vary Substantially from Period to Period.* 

Our revenues and expenses have been seasonal and we expect they will continue to be seasonal. For example, 22% of our revenues in Fiscal Year 2020 were derived from the *Christmas Spectacular* (the last production presented prior to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic). Our revenues are highest in the second quarter of our fiscal year when these performances primarily occur. As a result, our business earns a disproportionate amount of its revenue and operating income in the second quarter of each fiscal year. Therefore, our operating results and cash flow reflect significant variation from period to period and will continue to do so in the future. Consequently, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful and the operating results of one period are not indicative of our financial performance during a full fiscal year. This variability may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

*Labor Matters May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

As a result of ongoing labor market disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and otherwise, we have faced difficulty in maintaining staffing at our venues and retaining talent in our corporate departments. As a

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
result, we have had to scale back hours and days of operations in certain markets and venues. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified people or to do so on reasonable terms, our venues could be short staffed or become more expensive to operate and affect our ability to meet our customers' demand, any of which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our business is dependent upon the efforts of unionized workers. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 4,900 full-time and part-time employees, who represent approximately 70% of the Company's workforce, were subject to collective bargaining agreements ("CBAs"). Approximately 3% were subject to CBAs that expired as of December 31, 2022 and approximately 38% were subject to CBAs that will expire by June 30, 2023, if they are not extended prior thereto. Any labor disputes, such as strikes or lockouts, with the unions with which we have CBAs could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations (including our ability to produce or present concerts, programming, theatrical productions, sporting events and other events).

Additionally, NBA and NHL players are covered by CBAs. Both leagues have experienced labor difficulties in the past and may have labor issues in the future, such as player strikes or management lockouts. If any Knicks or Rangers games are cancelled because of any such labor difficulties, the loss of revenue, including from customers who would have attended home games at The Garden would have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

*The Unavailability of Systems Upon Which We Rely May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

We rely upon various internal and third-party software or systems in the operation of our business, including, with respect to ticket sales, credit card processing, email marketing, point of sale transactions, database, inventory, human resource management and financial systems. From time to time, certain of these arrangements may not be covered by long-term agreements. The failure or unavailability of these internal or third-party services or systems, depending upon its severity and duration, could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

*There Is a Risk of Injuries and Accidents in Connection with Our Venues, Which Could Subject Us to Personal Injury or Other Claims; We Are Subject to the Risk of Adverse Outcomes in Other Types of Litigation.* 

There are inherent risks associated with producing and hosting events and operating, maintaining, renovating or constructing our venues. As a result, personal injuries, accidents and other incidents have occurred and may occur from time to time, which could subject us to claims and liabilities.

These risks may not be covered by insurance or could involve exposures that exceed the limits of any applicable insurance policy. Incidents in connection with events at any of our venues could also reduce attendance at our events and may have a negative impact on our revenue and results of operations. We seek to obtain contractual indemnities for events at our venues that we do not promote, and under the Arena License Agreements, MSG Sports and the Company have reciprocal indemnity obligations to each other in connection with the home games of the Knicks and Rangers held at The Garden. While we also maintain insurance policies that provide coverage for incidents in the ordinary course of business, there can be no assurance that such indemnities or insurance will be adequate at all times and in all circumstances.

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings, including proceedings or lawsuits brought by governmental agencies, stockholders, customers, employees, private parties and other stakeholders. The outcome of litigation is inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming, disruptive to our operations, harmful to our reputation and distracting to management. As a result, we may incur liability from litigation (including in connection with settling such litigation) which could be material and for which we may not have available or adequate insurance coverage, or be subject to other forms of non-monetary relief which may adversely affect the Company. By its

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
nature, the outcome of litigation is difficult to assess and quantify, and its continuing defense is costly. The liabilities and any defense costs we incur in connection with any such litigation could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

**Risks Related to Indebtedness and Financial Condition** 

*We Have Substantial Indebtedness and Are Highly Leveraged, Which Could Adversely Affect Our Business.* 

The Company will be highly leveraged with a significant amount of debt and may continue to incur additional debt in the future. On June 30, 2022, MSG National Properties, LLC ("MSG National Properties") and certain other subsidiaries entered into a five-year $650 million senior secured term loan facility (the "National Properties Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $100 million revolving credit facility (the "National Properties Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the National Properties Term Loan Facility, the "National Properties Facilities"), which are guaranteed by MSG Entertainment Group, to fund working capital needs, for general corporate purposes of MSG National Properties and its subsidiaries, and to make distributions to MSG Entertainment Group (the "National Properties Credit Agreement"). As of December 31, 2022, outstanding letters of credit were $7.9 million and the remaining balance available under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility was $63.0 million. The National Properties Facilities will mature on June 30, 2027. The principal obligations under the National Properties Term Loan Facility are to be repaid in quarterly installments beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, in an aggregate amount equal to 2.50% per annum (0.625% per quarter), stepping up to 5.0% per annum (1.25% per quarter) in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025, with the balance due at the maturity of the facility. The principal obligations under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility are due at the maturity of the facility. The National Properties Credit Agreement also includes financial covenants requiring MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a specified minimum liquidity level, a specified minimum debt service coverage ratio and specified maximum total leverage ratio. In connection with the Distribution, we expect MSG Entertainment Holdings to become the entity that guarantees the National Properties Credit Agreement on the same terms.

As a result of this indebtedness, we will be required to make interest and principal payments on our borrowings that are significant in relation to our revenues and cash flows. These payments reduce our earnings and cash available for other potential business purposes. Furthermore, our interest expense could increase if interest rates increase (including in connection with rising inflation) because our indebtedness bears interest at floating rates or to the extent we have to refinance existing debt with higher cost debt.

In addition, the ability of MSG National Properties to draw on its revolving credit facility will depend on its ability to meet certain financial covenants and other conditions. This leverage also exposes us to significant risk by limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business (whether through competitive pressure or otherwise), the entertainment and hospitality industries and the economy at large. Although our cash flows could decrease in these scenarios, our required payments in respect of indebtedness would not decrease.

In addition, our ability to make payments on, or repay or refinance, such debt, and to fund our operating and capital expenditures, depends largely upon our future operating performance. Our future operating performance, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic conditions, recession, fears of recession, and financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. The failure to satisfy the covenants, including any inability to attain a covenant waiver, and other requirements under the credit agreement could trigger a default thereunder, acceleration of outstanding debt thereunder and a demand for payment under the guarantee provided by MSG Entertainment Group, or, following the distribution, MSG Entertainment Holdings, as applicable, which would negatively impact our liquidity and could have a negative effect on our business.

In addition, MSG Entertainment has made investments in, or otherwise extended loans to, one or more of its joint ventures or other parties and we may make additional investments in, or otherwise extend loans to, one or more of such parties in the future. To the extent that such parties do not perform as expected, including with respect to repayment of such loans, it could impair such assets or create losses related to such loans, and, as a result, have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Our Variable Rate Indebtedness Subjects Us to Interest Rate Risk, Which Could Cause Our Debt Service Obligations to Increase Significantly.* 

Borrowings under our facilities are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase (including in connection with rising inflation), our debt service obligations on certain of our variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease.

The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), has announced that it will not compel banks to contribute to LIBOR after 2021. In November 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited announced a plan to extend the date as of which most U.S. LIBOR values would cease being computed from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2023. On July 29, 2021 the Alternative Reference Rates Committee announced that it was formally recommending the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") term rate. Our National Properties Facilities have been amended to adjust to SOFR-based rates. The consequences of these developments with respect to LIBOR cannot be entirely predicted but may affect the level of interest payments on the portion of our indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, which may adversely impact the amount of our interest payments under such debt.

*We Have Incurred Substantial Operating Losses, Adjusted Operating Losses and Negative Cash Flow and There is No Assurance We Will Have Operating Income, Positive Adjusted Operating Income or Positive Cash Flow in the Future.* 

We incurred operating losses of $5.6 million and $237.3 million for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2021, respectively, and operating income of $225.3 million for Fiscal Year 2020. In addition, we have in prior periods incurred operating losses and negative cash flow and there is no assurance that we will have operating income, adjusted operating income, or positive cash flow in the future. Significant operating losses may limit our ability to raise necessary financing, or to do so on favorable terms, as such losses could be taken into account by potential investors, lenders and the organizations that issue investment ratings on indebtedness. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Factors Affecting Results of Operations."

*MSG Entertainment's Management Identified a Material Weakness During Fiscal Year 2022, Which Has Now Been Remediated. If We Identify Other Material Weaknesses or Adverse Findings in the Future, Our Ability to Report Our Financial Condition or Results of Operations Accurately or Timely May Be Adversely Affected, Which May Result in a Loss of Investor Confidence in Our Financial Reports, Significant Expenses to Remediate Any Internal Control Deficiencies, and Ultimately Have an Adverse Effect on the Market Price of Our Common Stock.* 

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management will be required to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Currently, we are an emerging growth company, and are exempt from complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, but we will be subject to the requirements in the future. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we will not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could result in significant expenses to remediate any internal control deficiencies and lead to a decline in our stock price.

Subsequent to the filing of the Fiscal Year 2021 Form 10-K, MSG Entertainment management evaluated an immaterial accounting error related to interest costs that should have been capitalized for the MSG Sphere in Las

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Vegas in Fiscal Years 2021, 2020 and 2019 and in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 835-20 — *Capitalization of Interest*. As a result of the accounting error, MSG Entertainment re-evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and identified a material weakness as of June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. MSG Entertainment undertook certain remediation efforts by implementing additional controls which were operating effectively as of June 30, 2022, and as a result, MSG Entertainment's management has concluded that the material weakness has been remediated and its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2022. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Once we are subject to these requirements, our management may be unable to conclude in future periods that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective due to the effects of various factors, which may, in part, include unremediated material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in those reports is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, we may not be able to identify and remediate other control deficiencies, including material weaknesses, in the future.

**Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property** 

*We Face Continually Evolving Cybersecurity and Similar Risks, Which Could Result in Loss, Disclosure, Theft, Destruction or Misappropriation of, or Access to, Our Confidential Information and Cause Disruption of Our Business, Damage to Our Brands and Reputation, Legal Exposure and Financial Losses.* 

Through our operations, we may collect and store, including by electronic means, certain personal, proprietary and other sensitive information, including payment card information, that is provided to us through purchases, registration on our websites, mobile applications, or otherwise in communication or interaction with us. These activities require the use of online services and centralized data storage, including through third-party service providers. Data maintained in electronic form is subject to the risk of security incidents, including breach, compromise, intrusion, tampering, theft, destruction, misappropriation or other malicious activity. Our ability to safeguard such personal and other sensitive information, including information regarding the Company and our customers, sponsors, partners and employees, independent contractors and vendors, is important to our business. We take these matters seriously and take significant steps to protect our stored information, including the implementation of systems and processes to thwart malicious activity. These protections are costly and require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. See *"*— Economic and Operational Risks — *We Are Subject to Extensive Governmental Regulation and Our Failure to Comply with These Regulations May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations."*

Despite our efforts, the risks of a security incident cannot be entirely eliminated and our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit consumer, sponsor, partner, Company, employee and other confidential and proprietary information may be compromised due to employee error or other circumstances such as malware or ransomware, viruses, hacking and phishing attacks, denial-of-service attacks, business email compromises, or otherwise. Such compromise could affect the security of information on our network or that of a third-party service provider. Additionally, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees, vendors or users to disclose sensitive, proprietary or confidential information in order to gain access to data and systems. As a result, such sensitive, proprietary and/or confidential information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without consent. For example, in November 2016, a payment card issue that affected cards used at merchandise and food and beverage locations at several of our New York venues and The Chicago Theatre was identified and addressed with the assistance of security firms. The issue was promptly fixed and enhanced security measures were implemented.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The Company also continues to review and enhance our security measures in light of the constantly evolving techniques used to gain unauthorized access to networks, data, software and systems. The Company may be required to incur significant expenses in order to address any actual or potential security incidents that arise and we may not have insurance coverage for any or all of such expenses. If we experience an actual or perceived security incident, our ability to conduct business may be interrupted or impaired, we may incur damage to our systems, we may lose profitable opportunities or the value of those opportunities may be diminished and we may lose revenue as a result of unlicensed use of our intellectual property. Unauthorized access to or security breaches of our systems could result in the loss of data, loss of business, severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, diversion of management's attention, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations and significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen or lost assets or information and repair of system damage that may have been caused, incentives offered to customers or other business partners in an effort to maintain business relationships after a breach and other liabilities. In addition, in the event of a security incident, changes in legislation may increase the risk of potential litigation. For example, the CCPA, which provides a private right of action (in addition to statutory damages) for California residents whose sensitive personal information is breached as a result of a business' violation of its duty to reasonably secure such information, took effect on January 1, 2020 and was expanded by the CPRA, which took effect in January 2023. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the costs of a data breach, indemnification obligations or other liabilities.

In addition, in some instances, we may have obligations to notify relevant stakeholders of security breaches. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to or alleviate problems caused by an actual or perceived security breach.

*We May Become Subject to Infringement or Other Claims Relating to Our Content or Technology.* 

From time to time, third parties may assert against us alleged intellectual property infringement claims (e.g., copyright, trademark and patent) or other claims relating to our productions, venues and brands, technologies, digital content or other content or material, some of which may be important to our business. In addition, our productions could potentially subject us to claims of defamation, violation of rights of privacy or publicity or similar types of allegations. Any such claims, regardless of their merit or outcome, could cause us to incur significant costs that could harm our results of operations. We may not be indemnified against, or have insurance coverage for, claims or costs of these types. In addition, if we are unable to continue the use of certain intellectual property rights, our business and results of operations could be materially negatively impacted.

*Theft of Our Intellectual Property May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.* 

The success of our business depends in part on our ability to maintain and monetize our intellectual property rights, including our brand logos, our technologies, digital content and other content that is material to our business. Theft of our intellectual property, including content, could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations because it may reduce the revenue that we are able to receive from the legitimate exploitation of such intellectual property, undermine lawful distribution channels and limit our ability to control the marketing of our content and inhibit our ability to recoup or profit from the costs incurred to create such content. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or protect our trade secrets. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of the outcome, could cause us to incur significant costs.

**Risks Related to the Spin-off Transaction** 

*Following the Distribution, We Will Be Materially Dependent on Affiliated Entities' Performances Under Various Agreements.* 

Following the Distribution, we will enter into various agreements with MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports that will govern our ongoing commercial relationship subsequent to the Distribution, including sponsorship agency agreements in connection with the sale of sponsorships for the Knicks and Rangers, as well as MSG

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Sports' other teams, and a trademark license agreement regarding the use of the "MSG" name. These agreements will each be subject to potential termination in the event MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports and the Company are no longer affiliates.

The Company will provide to MSG Entertainment certain business services that were performed by MSG Entertainment prior to the Distribution, such as information technology, accounts payable, payroll, tax, certain legal functions, human resources, insurance and risk management, government affairs, investor relations, corporate communications, benefit plan administration and reporting, and internal audit functions as well as certain marketing functions. These services include the collection and storage of certain personal information regarding employees and/or customers as well as information regarding the Company, MSG Entertainment and our sponsors and partners. See also "— Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property — *We Face Continually Evolving Cybersecurity and Similar Risks, Which Could Result in Loss, Disclosure, Theft, Destruction or Misappropriation of, or Access to, Our Confidential Information and Cause Disruption of Our Business, Damage to Our Brands and Reputation, Legal Exposure and Financial Losses*."

The Company and its affiliated entities will each rely on the other to perform its obligations under all of these agreements. If one of the affiliated entities were to breach, be unable to satisfy its material obligations under these agreements, including a failure to satisfy its indemnification or other financial obligations, or these agreements otherwise terminate or expire and we do not enter into replacement agreements, we could suffer operational difficulties and/or significant losses.

*Because There Has Not Been Any Public Market for Our Common Stock, the Market Price and Trading Volume of Our Common Stock May Be Volatile and You May Not Be Able to Resell Your Shares at or Above the Initial Market Price of Our Stock Following the Distribution.* 

Prior to the Distribution, there will have been no regular way trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investors' interest will lead to a liquid trading market or whether the market price of our common stock will be volatile. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including in response to the risk factors listed in this information statement or for reasons unrelated to our specific performance, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions or negative developments for our customers, competitors or suppliers, as well as general economic and industry conditions.

*The Combined Post-Distribution Value of MSG Entertainment and Spinco Shares May Not Equal or Exceed the Pre-Distribution Value of MSG Entertainment Shares.* 

After the Distribution, MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE. We cannot assure you that the combined trading prices of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and Spinco Class A Common Stock after the Distribution, as adjusted for any changes in the combined capitalization of these companies, will be equal to or greater than the trading price of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock prior to the Distribution. Until the market has fully evaluated the business of MSG Entertainment without the business of Spinco, the price at which MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock trades may fluctuate significantly. Similarly, until the market has fully evaluated the business of Spinco, the price at which shares of Spinco Class A Common Stock trade may fluctuate significantly.

*A Significant Amount of Our Total Outstanding Shares May Be Sold Freely into the Market. This Could Cause the Market Price of Our Common Shares to Drop Significantly, Even if Our Business is Doing Well.* 

MSG Entertainment is required by applicable tax rules to dispose of all retained shares as soon as practicable consistent with the business purposes for the retention, and expects to dispose of such retained shares within one year, subject to market conditions. Sales of the approximately 33% of our common shares to be retained by MSG Entertainment in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
additional equity securities. Immediately following the Distribution, this significant amount of our common shares will be freely tradable, without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, subject to certain restrictions applicable to shares held by our affiliates as defined in Rule 144.

*The Distribution is Subject to Various Risks and Uncertainties and May Not Be Completed in Accordance With the Expected Plans or Anticipated Timeline, or At All, and Will Involve Significant Time and Expense, Which Could Disrupt or Adversely Affect Our Business.* 

In August 2022, MSG Entertainment announced its plan to separate the Company into an independent, publicly-traded company by way of a tax free spin-off. The Distribution is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including final approval by MSG Entertainment's Board of Directors of the final terms of the Distribution and certain other conditions. Furthermore, the Distribution is complex in nature, and unanticipated developments or changes, including changes in the law, the macroeconomic environment, competitive conditions of MSG Entertainment's markets, regulatory approvals or clearances, the uncertainty of the financial markets and challenges in executing the Distribution, could delay or prevent the completion of the proposed Distribution, or cause the Distribution to occur on terms or conditions that are different or less favorable than expected.

Until the Distribution occurs, MSG Entertainment will have the discretion to determine and change the terms of the Distribution. For example, in December 2022, MSG Entertainment announced its plan to revise the structure of the proposed transaction and no longer include the MSG Networks business in the Company.

In addition, MSG Entertainment may decide at any time not to proceed with the Distribution. The process of completing the proposed Distribution has been and is expected to continue to require management's attention and involves significant costs and expenses. The Distribution costs may be significantly higher than what we currently anticipate and may not yield a discernible benefit if the Distribution is not completed, or if the expected benefits of the Distribution are not realized. We cannot predict the extent to which MSG Entertainment's investors' interest in the Distribution and the Company will impact the market price of its stock if the Distribution is not completed.

*The Distribution Could Result in Significant Tax Liability.* 

MSG Entertainment expects to obtain an opinion from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP substantially to the effect that, among other things, the distribution by MSG Entertainment of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the holders of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock, respectively (i.e., the Distribution), should qualify as a tax-free distribution under the Code. Accordingly, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Distribution is not expected to result in the recognition of gain to MSG Entertainment with respect to the distribution of our Class A Common Stock or our Class B Common Stock to the MSG Entertainment stockholders and, except to the extent a stockholder receives cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock, no income, gain or loss should be recognized by, and no amount should be included in the income of such holder upon the receipt of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Distribution. The opinion will not be binding on the IRS or the courts. See "The Distribution — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution." Certain transactions related to the Distribution that are not addressed (or expected to be addressed) by the opinion could result in the recognition of income or gain by MSG Entertainment. The opinion will rely on factual representations and reasonable assumptions, which, if incorrect or inaccurate, may jeopardize the ability to rely on such opinion. MSG Entertainment does not intend to request any ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Distribution.

If the Distribution does not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then, in general, MSG Entertainment would recognize taxable gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of our common stock distributed in the Distribution over MSG Entertainment's tax basis therein (i.e., as if it had sold such common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value). In addition, the receipt by MSG Entertainment stockholders of common stock of our Company would be a taxable distribution, and each U.S. holder that receives our common stock in the Distribution would be treated as if the U.S. holder had received a

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
distribution equal to the fair market value of our common stock that was distributed to it, which generally would be treated first as a taxable dividend to the extent of such holder's pro rata share of MSG Entertainment's earnings and profits, then as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder's tax basis in its MSG Entertainment common stock, and thereafter as capital gain with respect to any remaining value. It is expected that the amount of any such taxes to MSG Entertainment stockholders and MSG Entertainment would be substantial. See "The Distribution — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution."

*We May Have a Significant Indemnity Obligation to MSG Entertainment if the Distribution Is Treated as a Taxable Transaction.* 

We will enter into a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement with MSG Entertainment, which will set out each party's rights and obligations with respect to federal, state, local or foreign taxes for periods before and after the Distribution and related matters such as the filing of tax returns and the conduct of IRS and other audits. Pursuant to the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, we will be required to indemnify MSG Entertainment for losses and taxes of MSG Entertainment resulting from the breach of certain covenants and for certain taxable gain recognized by MSG Entertainment, including as a result of certain acquisitions of our stock or assets. If we are required to indemnify MSG Entertainment under the circumstances set forth in the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, we may be subject to substantial liabilities, which could materially adversely affect our financial position.

*The Tax Rules Applicable to the Distribution May Restrict Us from Engaging in Certain Corporate Transactions or from Raising Equity Capital Beyond Certain Thresholds for a Period of Time After the Distribution.* 

To preserve the tax-free treatment of the Distribution to MSG Entertainment and its stockholders, under the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement with MSG Entertainment, for the two-year period following the Distribution, we will be subject to restrictions with respect to:

• entering into any transaction pursuant to which 50% or more of our shares or assets would be acquired, whether by
merger or otherwise, unless certain tests are met;

• issuing equity securities, if any such issuances would, in the aggregate, constitute 50% or more of the voting
power or value of our capital stock;

• certain repurchases of our common shares;

• ceasing to actively conduct our business;

• amendments to our organizational documents (i) affecting the relative voting rights of our stock or
(ii) converting one class of our stock to another;

• liquidating or partially liquidating; and

• taking any other action that prevents the Distribution and certain related transactions from being tax-free.

These restrictions may limit our ability during such period to pursue strategic transactions of a certain magnitude that involve the issuance or acquisition of our stock or engage in new businesses or other transactions that might increase the value of our business. These restrictions may also limit our ability to raise significant amounts of cash through the issuance of stock, especially if our stock price were to suffer substantial declines, or through the sale of certain of our assets. For more information, see the sections entitled "The Distribution — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship Between MSG Entertainment and Us After the Distribution — Tax Disaffiliation Agreement."

*Certain Adverse U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Might Apply to Non-U.S. Holders That Hold Our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock After the Distribution If We Are Treated as a USRPHC.* 

The Company has not made a determination as to whether we will be deemed to be a USRPHC, as defined in section 897(c)(2) of the Code. In general, we will be a USRPHC if 50% or more of the fair market value of our

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
assets constitute "United States real property interests" within the meaning of the Code. However, the determination of whether we are a USRPHC turns on the relative fair market value of our United States real property interests and our other assets, and because the USRPHC rules are complex and the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on facts and circumstances that may be beyond our control, we can give no assurance as to our USRPHC status after the Distribution. If we are treated as a USRPHC, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to non-U.S. holders that hold our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock after the Distribution. A beneficial owner of MSG Entertainment common stock that is a non-U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences that would be applicable to such holder if we are treated as a USRPHC after the Distribution. For more information, see the section entitled "The Distribution — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution."

*We Do Not Have an Operating History as a Stand-Alone Public Company.* 

In the past, our operations have been a part of MSG Entertainment and MSG Entertainment provided us with various financial, operational and managerial resources for conducting our business. Following the Distribution, we will maintain our own credit and banking relationships and perform certain of our own financial and operational functions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully put in place the financial, operational and managerial resources necessary to operate as a public company or that we will be able to be profitable doing so.

*Our Historical Financial Results and Our Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements May Not Be Representative of Our Results as a Separate, Stand-Alone Company.* 

The historical financial information we have included in this information statement has been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of MSG Entertainment and does not necessarily reflect what our financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone company during the periods presented. Although MSG Entertainment did account for the Entertainment business (with the addition of MSG Sphere) as a separate business segment, we were not operated as a separate, stand-alone company for the historical periods presented. The historical costs and expenses reflected in our combined financial statements include an allocation for certain corporate functions historically provided by MSG Entertainment, including general corporate expenses and employee benefits and incentives. These allocations were based on what we and MSG Entertainment considered to be reasonable reflections of the historical utilization levels of these services required in support of our business. The historical information does not necessarily indicate what our results of operations, financial position, cash flows or costs and expenses will be in the future. Our pro forma financial information set forth under "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" reflects changes to our operations as a result of the separation. However, there can be no assurances that this unaudited pro forma combined financial information will appropriately reflect our financial position or results of operations as a separate, stand-alone company.

*We May Incur Material Costs and Expenses as a Result of Our Separation from MSG Entertainment.* 

We may incur costs and expenses greater than those we currently incur as a result of our separation from MSG Entertainment. These increased costs and expenses may arise from various factors, including financial reporting and costs associated with complying with federal securities laws (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act). In addition, we expect to either maintain similar or have increased corporate and administrative costs and expenses to those we incurred while part of MSG Entertainment, even though following the Distribution we will be a smaller, stand-alone company. We cannot assure you that these costs will not be material to our business.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*If, Following the Distribution, We Are Unable to Satisfy the Requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is Not Effective, the Reliability of Our Financial Statements May Be Questioned and Our Stock Price May Suffer.* 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires any company subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws to do a comprehensive evaluation of its and its consolidated subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting. To comply with this statute, we will eventually be required to document and test our internal control procedures, our management will be required to assess and issue a report concerning our internal control over financial reporting, and our independent auditors will be required to issue an opinion on the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards under the rules. During the course of its testing, our management may identify material weaknesses or deficiencies which may not be remedied in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If our management cannot favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting or our auditors identify material weaknesses in our internal controls, investor confidence in our financial results may weaken, and our stock price may suffer.

*The Reduced Disclosure Requirements Applicable to Us as an "Emerging Growth Company" May Make Our Class A Common Stock Less Attractive to Investors.* 

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and we may avail ourselves of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements of public companies that are not "emerging growth companies," including, but not limited to, an exemption from complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and, like smaller reporting companies, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirement of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may remain an emerging growth company for up to five full fiscal years following the Distribution. We would cease to be an emerging growth company, and, therefore, become ineligible to rely on the above exemptions, if we: (a) have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue in a fiscal year; (b) issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period; or (c) become a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") which would generally occur after: (i) we have filed at least one annual report; (ii) we have been a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reporting company for at least 12 months; and (iii) the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions.

If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our value may be more volatile than that of an otherwise comparable company that does not avail itself of the same or similar exemptions.

*We Are Controlled by the Dolan Family. As a Result of Their Control, the Dolan Family Has the Ability to Prevent or Cause a Change in Control or Approve, Prevent or Influence Certain Actions by the Company.* 

We have two classes of common stock:

• Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which is entitled to one vote per share and is entitled
collectively to elect 25% of our Board of Directors; and

• Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which is entitled to 10 votes per share and is entitled
collectively to elect the remaining 75% of our Board of Directors.

As of the Distribution date, the Dolan Family Group will collectively own all of our Class B Common Stock, approximately [●]% of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and approximately [●]% of the total

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
voting power of all our outstanding common stock. The members of the Dolan Family Group holding Class B Common Stock will execute a Stockholders Agreement prior to the Distribution that will have the effect of causing the voting power of the holders of our Class B Common Stock to be cast as a block with respect to all matters to be voted on by holders of Class B Common Stock. Under the Stockholders Agreement, the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by members of the Dolan Family Group (representing all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock) are to be voted on all matters in accordance with the determination of the Dolan Family Committee (as defined below), except that the decisions of the Dolan Family Committee are non-binding with respect to the Class B Common Stock owned by certain Dolan family trusts that collectively own [●]% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock ("Excluded Trusts"). The "Dolan Family Committee" will consist of Charles F. Dolan and his six children, James L. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Patrick F. Dolan, Kathleen M. Dolan, Marianne Dolan Weber and Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney. The Dolan Family Committee generally acts by majority vote, except that approval of a going-private transaction must be approved by a two-thirds vote and approval of a change-in-control transaction must be approved by not less than all but one vote. The voting members of the Dolan Family Committee will be James L. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Kathleen M. Dolan, Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney and Marianne Dolan Weber, with each member having one vote other than James L. Dolan, who has two votes. Because James L. Dolan has two votes, he will have the ability to block Dolan Family Committee approval of any Company change in control transaction. Shares of Class B Common Stock owned by Excluded Trusts will on all matters be voted on in accordance with the determination of the Excluded Trusts holding a majority of the Class B Common Stock held by all Excluded Trusts, except in the case of a vote on a going-private transaction or a change in control transaction, in which case a vote of trusts holding two-thirds of the Class B Common Stock owned by Excluded Trusts will be required.

The Dolan Family Group is able to prevent a change in control of our Company and no person interested in acquiring us will be able to do so without obtaining the consent of the Dolan Family Group. The Dolan Family Group, by virtue of its stock ownership, has the power to elect all of our directors subject to election by holders of Class B Common Stock, and is able collectively to control stockholder decisions on matters on which holders of all classes of our common stock vote together as a single class. These matters could include the amendment of some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and the approval of fundamental corporate transactions.

In addition, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 <sup>2</sup>/<sub>3</sub>% of the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class, is required to approve:

• the authorization or issuance of any additional shares of Class B Common Stock, and

• any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation that adversely
affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Class B Common Stock.

As a result, the Dolan Family Group has the power to prevent such issuance or amendment.

The members of the Dolan Family Group will enter into an agreement with the Company in which they agree that, during the 12-month period beginning on the Distribution date, the Dolan Family Group must obtain the prior approval of a majority of the Company's Independent Directors prior to acquiring common stock of the Company through a tender offer that results in members of the Dolan Family Group owning more than 50% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. For purposes of this agreement, the term "Independent Directors" means the directors of the Company who have been determined by our Board of Directors to be independent directors for purposes of NYSE corporate governance standards.

Following the Distribution, the Company and MSG Entertainment will still be controlled by the Dolan Family Group. The Dolan Family Group also controls MSG Sports and AMC Networks.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*We Have Elected to Be a "Controlled Company" for NYSE Purposes Which Allows Us Not to Comply with Certain of the Corporate Governance Rules of the NYSE.* 

We have been informed that, prior to the Distribution, the members of the Dolan Family Group will enter into a Stockholders Agreement relating, among other things, to the voting of their shares of our Class B Common Stock. As a result, following the Distribution, we will be a "controlled company" under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE. As a controlled company, we will have the right to elect not to comply with the corporate governance rules of the NYSE requiring: (i) a majority of independent directors on our Board of Directors; (ii) an independent corporate governance and nominating committee; and (iii) an independent compensation committee. Our Board of Directors has elected for the Company to be treated as a "controlled company" under NYSE corporate governance rules and not to comply with the NYSE requirement for a majority-independent board of directors and for an independent corporate governance and nominating committee because of our status as a controlled company. Nevertheless, we expect our Board of Directors to elect to comply with the NYSE requirement for an independent compensation committee.

*Future Stock Sales, Including as a Result of the Exercise of Registration Rights by Certain of Our Stockholders, Could Adversely Affect the Trading Price of Our Class A Common Stock.* 

All of the shares of Class A Common Stock will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless the shares are owned by our "affiliates" as that term is defined in the rules under the Securities Act. Shares held by "affiliates" may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 which is summarized under "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." Further, we plan to file a registration statement to cover the shares issued under our equity-based benefit plans.

As described under "Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Registration Rights Agreements," certain parties have registration rights covering a portion of our shares.

We expect to enter into registration rights agreements with Charles F. Dolan, members of his family, certain Dolan family interests and the Dolan Family Foundation that provide them with "demand" and "piggyback" registration rights with respect to approximately [●] million shares of Class A Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock.

We also expect to enter into a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement with MSG Entertainment, pursuant to which we will provide MSG Entertainment with "demand" and "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the approximately [●] shares of Class A Common Stock it will own following the Distribution. In addition, MSG Entertainment will agree to vote the Class A Common Stock that it owns in proportion to the votes cast by the other holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock on such matter, to the extent such shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to be voted on such matter. The shares of Class A Common Stock owned by MSG Entertainment will be present at all stockholder meetings for quorum purposes. MSG Entertainment will grant the Company an irrevocable proxy to implement these voting agreements. Although no final decisions have been made, MSG Entertainment is required by applicable tax rules to dispose of all the retained shares, which will represent approximately 38% of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, as soon as practicable consistent with the business purposes for the retention, and expects to dispose of such retained shares within one year, subject to market conditions. This disposition may be through one or more sales, exchange offers or pro-rata distributions.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock, including sales pursuant to these registration rights agreements, could adversely affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering of our equity securities. Such adverse effects could be particularly negative during the period between the completion of the Distribution and the time when MSG Entertainment completes its disposition of the retained shares.

*We Will Share Certain Directors and Officers with MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and/or AMC Networks, Which Means Those Officers Will Not Devote Their Full Time and Attention to Our Affairs and the Overlap May Give Rise to Conflicts.* 

James L. Dolan will serve as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and MSG Entertainment and as the Executive Chairman of MSG Sports. James L. Dolan also currently serves as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks. In addition, Gregg G. Seibert will serve as a Vice Chairman of the Company, MSG Sports, MSG Entertainment and AMC Networks and Charles F. Dolan will serve as Chairman Emeritus of AMC Networks concurrently with his service on our Board. Furthermore, immediately following the Distribution, we expect nine of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company will also serve as directors of MSG Entertainment, nine will serve as directors of MSG Sports and five will serve as directors of AMC Networks, including our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who serves as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks. There will be no overlap of Class A Directors as between MSG Entertainment and the Company. The Overlap Persons may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting each company. For example, there will be the potential for a conflict of interest when we on the one hand, and MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports, and/or AMC Networks and their respective subsidiaries and successors on the other hand, look at certain acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for more than one of the companies. Also, conflicts may arise if there are issues or disputes under the commercial arrangements that will exist between an Other Entity and us. In addition, after the Distribution, certain of our directors and officers will continue to own stock and/or stock options or other equity awards of an Other Entity. These ownership interests could create actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest when these individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for our Company and an Other Entity. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Certain Relationships and Potential Conflicts of Interest" for a discussion of certain procedures we will institute to help ameliorate such potential conflicts that may arise.

*Our Overlapping Directors and Officers with MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and/or AMC Networks May Result in the Diversion of Corporate Opportunities to MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and/or AMC Networks and Other Conflicts and Provisions in Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation May Provide Us No Remedy in That Circumstance.* 

The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will acknowledge that directors and officers of the Company may also be serving as directors, officers, employees or agents of an Other Entity, and that the Company may engage in material business transactions with such Other Entities. The Company will renounce its rights to certain business opportunities and the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that no Overlap Person will be liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty that would otherwise occur by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity (other than certain limited types of opportunities set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) to one or more of the Other Entities instead of the Company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunities to the Company. These provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also expressly validate certain contracts, agreements, arrangements and transactions (and amendments, modifications or terminations thereof) between the Company and the Other Entities and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, provide that the actions of the Overlap Person in connection therewith are not breaches of fiduciary duties owed to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective stockholders. See "Description of Capital Stock — Certain Corporate Opportunities and Conflicts."

**THE DISTRIBUTION** 

**General** 

MSG Entertainment will distribute approximately 67% of our outstanding stock to the holders of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock and will retain approximately 33% of our outstanding common stock in the form of Class A Common Stock. MSG Entertainment will not own any of our Class B Common Stock following the Distribution. We refer to this distribution of securities as the "Distribution," the Class A Common Stock distributed as the "Distributed Class A Common Stock," the Class B Common Stock distributed as the "Distributed Class B Common Stock" (and, together with the Distributed Class A Common Stock, the "Distributed Common Stock") and the shares retained by MSG Entertainment as the "Retained Common Stock." The Distributed Common Stock will include approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (the holders of which will have the right to collectively elect 25% of our Board of Directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors) and 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (the holders of which will have the right to collectively elect the remaining 75% of our Board of Directors). As a result, the Distributed Common Stock will represent at least 90% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock with respect to the election of directors.

In the Distribution, each holder of MSG Entertainment common stock will receive a distribution of one share of our common stock for every one share of MSG Entertainment common stock held as of the close of business, New York City time, on [●], 2023, which will be the record date. Immediately following the Distribution, MSG Entertainment will own approximately 38% of our Class A Common Stock (representing approximately 33% of our common stock), the Class A Common Stockholders of MSG Entertainment will own approximately 62% of our Class A Common Stock (representing approximately 53% of our common stock), and the Class B Common Stockholders of MSG Entertainment will own 100% of our Class B Common Stock (representing approximately 13% of our common stock).

**Manner of Effecting the Distribution** 

The general terms and conditions relating to the Distribution are set forth in the Distribution Agreement between us and MSG Entertainment. Under the Distribution Agreement, the Distribution will be effective at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on [●], 2023. For most MSG Entertainment stockholders who own MSG Entertainment common stock in registered form on the record date, our transfer and distribution agent will credit their shares of our common stock to book entry accounts established to hold these shares. Our transfer and distribution agent will send these stockholders a statement reflecting their ownership of our common stock. Book entry refers to a method of recording stock ownership in our records in which no physical certificates are used. For stockholders who own MSG Entertainment common stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of our common stock will be credited to these stockholders' accounts by the broker or other nominee. As further discussed below, fractional shares will not be distributed. Following the Distribution, stockholders whose shares are held in book entry form may request that their shares of our common stock be transferred to a brokerage or other account at any time, as well as delivery of physical stock certificates for their shares, in each case without charge.

MSG ENTERTAINMENT STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK RECEIVED IN THE DISTRIBUTION, OR TO SURRENDER OR EXCHANGE SHARES OF MSG ENTERTAINMENT COMMON STOCK IN ORDER TO RECEIVE OUR COMMON STOCK, OR TO TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE DISTRIBUTION. NO VOTE OF MSG ENTERTAINMENT STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED OR SOUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THE DISTRIBUTION, AND MSG ENTERTAINMENT STOCKHOLDERS HAVE NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DISTRIBUTION.

Fractional shares of our common stock will not be issued to MSG Entertainment stockholders as part of the Distribution or credited to book entry accounts. In lieu of receiving fractional shares, each holder of MSG Entertainment common stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of our common stock

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
will receive cash for the fractional interest, which generally will be taxable to such holder. An explanation of the tax consequences of the Distribution can be found below in the subsection captioned "— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution." The transfer and distribution agent will, as soon as practicable after the Distribution date, aggregate fractional shares of our Class A Common Stock into whole shares and sell them in the open market at the prevailing market prices and distribute the aggregate proceeds, net of brokerage fees, ratably to stockholders otherwise entitled to fractional interests in our Class A Common Stock. Similarly, fractional shares of our Class B Common Stock will be aggregated, converted to Class A Common Stock, and sold in the public market by the transfer and distribution agent. The amount of such payments will depend on the prices at which the aggregated fractional shares are sold by the transfer and distribution agent in the open market shortly after the Distribution date.

See "Executive Compensation — Treatment of Outstanding Awards," for a discussion of how outstanding MSG Entertainment options, restricted stock units and performance stock units will be affected by the Distribution.

In order to be entitled to receive shares of our common stock in the Distribution, MSG Entertainment stockholders must be stockholders of record of MSG Entertainment common stock at the close of business, New York City time, on the record date, [●], 2023.

**Reasons for the Distribution** 

MSG Entertainment's board of directors has determined that separation of our business from MSG Entertainment's other business is in the best interests of MSG Entertainment and its stockholders. The potential benefits considered by MSG Entertainment's board of directors in making the determination to consummate the Distribution included the following:

• to provide each of MSG Entertainment and the Company with increased flexibility to fully pursue and fund its
business plan, including capital expenditures, investments and acquisitions that would be more difficult to consider or effectuate in the absence of the Distribution. This increased financial flexibility reflects the belief that investors in a
company with the mix of assets that each of MSG Entertainment and the Company will own following the Distribution will be more receptive to strategic initiatives that MSG Entertainment and the Company may respectively pursue;

• to increase the aggregate value of the stock of MSG Entertainment and the Company above the value that the stock
of MSG Entertainment would have had if it had continued to represent an interest in both the businesses of MSG Entertainment and the Company, so as to: (i) allow each company to use its stock to pursue and achieve strategic objectives,
including evaluating and effectuating acquisitions and increasing the long-term attractiveness of equity compensation programs in a significantly more efficient and effective manner with significantly less dilution to existing stockholders; and
(ii) allow each company to offer a more focused investment profile to investors; and

• to provide MSG Entertainment, through the retained equity interest, with the opportunity to raise cash proceeds
for corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and/or to use such shares for other transactions that would be advantageous for MSG Entertainment and its stockholders. These capital expenditures will include funds utilized to pursue growth
opportunities associated with MSG Entertainment's Sphere initiative. In addition, upon the Distribution, MSG Entertainment will pledge the entire retained equity interest to secure the $275 million senior secured term loan facility of MSG Las
Vegas, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MSG Entertainment, which was entered into on December 22, 2022. This pledge will be released once the Las Vegas Sphere has been substantially completed and certain of its systems are ready to be
used in live, immersive events. The Company will have no interest, contractual or otherwise, in the Sphere venues.

MSG Entertainment's board of directors also considered several factors that might have a negative effect on MSG Entertainment as a result of the Distribution. MSG Entertainment's common stock may come under initial selling pressure as certain MSG Entertainment stockholders sell their shares because they are not interested in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
holding an investment in MSG Entertainment's remaining business. Moreover, certain factors, such as a lack of comparable public companies, may limit investors' ability to appropriately value MSG Entertainment's common stock. In addition, the Distribution would separate from MSG Entertainment the business and assets of the Company, which represent significant value. Because the Company will no longer be part of MSG Entertainment, the Distribution will also affect the terms upon which MSG Entertainment can pursue cross-company business transactions and initiatives with the Company. In addition, after the Distribution, MSG Entertainment's results will not reflect the generally more predictable cash flow from the Entertainment business segment, which may result in more volatile and less predictable operating results and cash flow for MSG Entertainment. Finally, following the Distribution, MSG Entertainment and its remaining business will need to absorb certain corporate and administrative costs previously allocated to its Entertainment business segment.

MSG Entertainment's board of directors considered certain aspects of the Distribution that may be adverse to the Company. The Company's common stock may come under initial selling pressure as certain MSG Entertainment stockholders sell their shares in the Company because they are not interested in holding an investment in the Company's business. Moreover, certain factors, such as a lack of comparable public companies, may limit investors' ability to appropriately value the Company's common stock. Because the Company will no longer be part of MSG Entertainment, the Distribution will also affect the terms upon which the Company can pursue cross-company business transactions and initiatives with MSG Entertainment's other business. In addition, after the Distribution, the Company's results will not reflect cash flow from the MSG Networks and Tao Group Hospitality business segments. As a result of the Distribution, the Company will bear significant incremental costs associated with being a publicly held company and will need to absorb certain corporate and operational support costs previously allocated to MSG Entertainment. This cost increase will be partially offset by payments that the Company will receive from MSG Entertainment resulting from the establishment of the Transition Services Agreement, which will be recorded as a reduction of operating expenses. Refer to the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" section for further details.

**Results of the Distribution** 

After the Distribution, we will be a public company owning and operating the Entertainment business segment, excluding the MSG Sphere business, currently owned and operated by MSG Entertainment. Immediately after the Distribution, we expect to have approximately [●] holders of record of our Class A Common Stock and [●] holders of record of our Class B Common Stock and approximately [●] shares of Class A Common Stock and [●] shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, based on the number of stockholders of record and outstanding shares of MSG Entertainment common stock on [●], 2023 and after giving effect to the delivery to stockholders of cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock. The actual number of shares to be distributed will be determined on the record date. You can find information regarding options, restricted stock units and performance stock units that will be outstanding after the Distribution in the section captioned, "Executive Compensation — Treatment of Outstanding Awards." We and MSG Entertainment will both be controlled by the Dolan Family Group.

In connection with the Distribution, we have entered or will enter into a number of other agreements with MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports (and certain of their subsidiaries) to provide for an orderly transition and to govern the ongoing relationships between the Company, MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports after the Distribution. These agreements are summarized below, and described in more detail in the "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" section below.

**Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution** 

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Distribution to us, MSG Entertainment and MSG Entertainment stockholders. This summary is based on the Code, the regulations promulgated under the Code by the Department of the Treasury, and interpretations of such authorities by the courts and the IRS, all as of the date of this information statement and all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is limited to holders of MSG Entertainment common stock that are U.S. holders, as defined below, that hold their shares of MSG Entertainment common stock as capital assets, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Further, this summary does not discuss all tax considerations that may be relevant to holders of MSG Entertainment common stock in light of their particular circumstances, nor does it address the consequences to holders of MSG Entertainment common stock subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as tax-exempt entities, partnerships (including arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes), persons who acquired such shares of MSG Entertainment common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons liable for the alternative minimum tax, persons who hold their shares of MSG Entertainment common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, synthetic security, integrated investment or other risk-reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This summary does not address any U.S. federal estate, gift or other non-income tax consequences or any applicable state, local, foreign, or other tax consequences. Each stockholder's individual circumstances may affect the tax consequences of the Distribution.

For purposes of this summary, a "U.S. holder" is a beneficial owner of MSG Entertainment common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the United States;

• a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or
organized under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

• an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its
administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (ii) it has a valid election in place under applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A "non-U.S. holder" is a beneficial owner of MSG Entertainment common stock that is not a U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (including any arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of MSG Entertainment common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding shares of MSG Entertainment common stock should consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Distribution.

MSG Entertainment expects to obtain an opinion from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP substantially to the effect that, among other things, the distribution by MSG Entertainment of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the holders of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock, respectively (i.e., the Distribution), should qualify as a tax-free distribution under the Code. The opinion will not be binding on the IRS or the courts. Certain transactions related to the Distribution that are not addressed (or expected to be addressed) by the opinion could result in the recognition of income or gain by MSG Entertainment. The opinion will rely on factual representations and reasonable assumptions, which, if incorrect or inaccurate, may jeopardize the ability to rely on such opinion. MSG Entertainment does not intend to request any ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Distribution.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
On the basis of the opinion we expect to receive, and assuming that MSG Entertainment common stock is a capital asset in the hands of an MSG Entertainment stockholder on the Distribution date:

• Except for any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of our common stock, an MSG Entertainment stockholder
should not recognize any income, gain or loss as a result of the receipt of our common stock in the Distribution.

• An MSG Entertainment stockholder's holding period for our common stock received (including, for this
purpose, any fractional share of our common stock for which cash is received) in the Distribution should include the period for which that stockholder's MSG Entertainment common stock was held.

• An MSG Entertainment stockholder's tax basis for our common stock received in the Distribution should be
determined by allocating to that common stock, on the basis of the relative fair market values of MSG Entertainment common stock and our common stock at the time of the Distribution, a portion of the stockholder's tax basis in its MSG
Entertainment common stock. An MSG Entertainment stockholder's tax basis in its MSG Entertainment common stock should be decreased by the portion allocated to our common stock. Within a reasonable period of time after the Distribution, MSG
Entertainment will provide its stockholders who receive our common stock pursuant to the Distribution with a worksheet for calculating their tax bases in our common stock and their MSG Entertainment common stock.

• The receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of our common stock generally should be treated as a sale of
the fractional share of our common stock, and an MSG Entertainment stockholder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the stockholder's tax basis in the fractional share of our
common stock, as determined above. The gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the fractional share of our common stock, as determined above, is more than one year.

• The Distribution should not be a taxable transaction to us or MSG Entertainment. However, certain transactions
related to the Distribution that are not expected to be addressed by the opinion could result in the recognition of income or gain by MSG Entertainment.

MSG Entertainment is required by applicable tax rules to dispose of all retained shares as soon as practicable consistent with the business purposes for the retention, and expects to dispose of such retained shares within one year, subject to market conditions. If the Distribution does not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then, in general, MSG Entertainment would recognize taxable gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of our common stock distributed in the Distribution over MSG Entertainment's tax basis therein (i.e., as if it had sold such common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value). In addition, the receipt by MSG Entertainment stockholders of our common stock would be a taxable distribution, and each U.S. holder that receives our common stock in the Distribution would be treated as if the U.S. holder had received a distribution equal to the fair market value of our common stock that was distributed to it, which generally would be treated first as a taxable dividend to the extent of such holder's pro rata share of MSG Entertainment's earnings and profits, then as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder's tax basis in its MSG Entertainment common stock, and thereafter as capital gain with respect to any remaining value.

Even if the Distribution otherwise qualifies for tax-free treatment under the Code, the Distribution may be taxable to MSG Entertainment and would result in a significant U.S. federal income tax liability to MSG Entertainment (but not to the MSG Entertainment stockholders) under Section 355(e) of the Code if the Distribution were deemed to be part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire, directly or indirectly, stock representing a 50% or greater interest by vote or value, in MSG Entertainment or us. For this purpose, any acquisitions of MSG Entertainment's stock or our stock within the period beginning two years before the Distribution and ending two years after the Distribution are presumed to be part of such a plan, although MSG Entertainment or we may be able to rebut that presumption. The process for determining whether a prohibited acquisition has occurred under the rules described in this paragraph is complex, inherently factual and subject to interpretation of the facts and circumstances of a particular case. MSG Entertainment or we might inadvertently cause or permit a prohibited change in the ownership of MSG Entertainment or us to occur, thereby triggering tax to MSG Entertainment, which could have a material adverse effect. If such an acquisition of our stock or MSG

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Entertainment's stock triggers the application of Section 355(e) of the Code, MSG Entertainment would recognize taxable gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of our common stock distributed in the Distribution over MSG Entertainment's tax basis therein, but the Distribution would be tax-free to each MSG Entertainment stockholder. In certain circumstances, under the tax disaffiliation agreement between MSG Entertainment and us (the "Tax Disaffiliation Agreement"), we would be required to indemnify MSG Entertainment against certain taxes imposed on MSG Entertainment if they resulted from certain actions by us after the Distribution. Please see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship Between MSG Entertainment and Us After the Distribution — Tax Disaffiliation Agreement" for a more detailed discussion of the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement between MSG Entertainment and us.

Payments of cash in lieu of a fractional share of our common stock made in connection with the Distribution may, under certain circumstances, be subject to backup withholding, unless a holder provides proof of an applicable exception or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the holder furnishes the required information to the IRS.

U.S. Treasury regulations require certain MSG Entertainment stockholders with significant ownership in MSG Entertainment that receive shares of our stock in the Distribution to attach to their U.S. federal income tax return for the year in which such stock is received a detailed statement setting forth such data as may be appropriate to show that the Distribution is tax-free under the Code. Within a reasonable period of time after the Distribution, MSG Entertainment will provide its stockholders who receive our common stock pursuant to the Distribution with the information necessary to comply with such requirement.

The Company has not made a determination as to whether we will be deemed to be a "United States real property holding corporation" as defined in section 897(c)(2) of the Code. In general, we will be a USRPHC if 50% or more of the fair market value of our assets constitute "United States real property interests" within the meaning of the Code. However, the determination of whether we are a USRPHC turns on the relative fair market value of our United States real property interests and our other assets, and because the USRPHC rules are complex and the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on facts and circumstances that may be beyond our control, we can give no assurance as to our USRPHC status after the Distribution.

If we are treated as a USRPHC, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to non-U.S. holders that hold our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock after the Distribution. Specifically, a non-U.S. holder that holds a class of shares that is traded on an established securities market will be subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended ("FIRPTA"), in respect of a sale or disposition of such shares if the holder owned more than 5% of the shares of such class at any time during the shorter of the period that the non-U.S. holder owned such shares or the five-year period ending on the date when the holder sold or disposed of the shares. We expect that our Class A Common Stock, but not our Class B Common Stock, will be traded on an established securities market after the Distribution, but there can be no assurance that our Class A Common Stock will in fact be traded on an established securities market after the Distribution. A non-U.S. holder that holds our Class B Common Stock will be subject to FIRPTA in respect of a sale or disposition of such stock if on the date the stock was acquired by the holder, it had a fair market value greater than the fair market value on that date of 5% of our Class A Common Stock. If a non-U.S. holder holds our Class B Common Stock, and subsequently acquires additional interests of the same class, then all such interests must be aggregated and valued as of the date of the subsequent acquisition for purposes of the 5% test that is described in the preceding sentence. If tax under FIRPTA applies to the gain on the sale or disposition of shares, non-U.S. holders will be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to U.S. holders, subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals. For purposes of determining the amount of shares owned by a holder, complex constructive ownership rules apply.

Furthermore, if we are treated as a USRPHC, we could potentially be required to withhold at least 15% of any distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, even if the non-U.S. holder is not

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
liable for U.S. tax on the receipt of that distribution. However, a non-U.S. holder may seek a refund of these amounts from the IRS if the non-U.S. holder's tax liability with respect to the distribution is less than the amount withheld. Such withholding should generally not be required if a non-U.S. holder would not be taxed under FIRPTA upon a sale or disposition of our shares, as discussed in the previous paragraph.

A beneficial owner of MSG Entertainment common stock that is a non-U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences that would be applicable to such holder if we are treated as a USRPHC after the Distribution.

EACH MSG ENTERTAINMENT STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE PARTICULAR CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISTRIBUTION TO SUCH STOCKHOLDER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS, AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAX LAW THAT MAY AFFECT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED ABOVE.

**Listing and Trading of Our Common Stock** 

There is not currently a public market for our common stock. We will apply for our Class A Common Stock to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol "MSGE" (and we will change our name to "Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.") and we expect that Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. will change its symbol on the NYSE to "SPHR" (and be renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") in connection with the Distribution. It is anticipated that trading will commence on a when-issued basis prior to the Distribution. On the first trading day following the Distribution date, when-issued trading in our Class A Common Stock will end and regular-way trading will begin. "When-issued trading" refers to trading which occurs before a security is actually issued. These transactions are conditional with settlement to occur if and when the security is actually issued and NYSE determines transactions are to be settled. "Regular way trading" refers to normal trading transactions, which are settled by delivery of the securities against payment on the third business day after the transaction.

We cannot assure you as to the price at which our Class A Common Stock will trade before, on or after the Distribution date. Until our Class A Common Stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our Class A Common Stock, the price at which such stock trades may fluctuate significantly. In addition, the combined trading prices of our Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock held by stockholders after the Distribution may be less than, equal to, or greater than the trading price of the MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock prior to the Distribution. Our Class B Common Stock will not be listed on a securities exchange or publicly traded.

The shares of our common stock distributed to MSG Entertainment stockholders will be freely transferable, except for shares received by people who may have a special relationship or affiliation with us or shares subject to contractual restrictions. People who may be considered our affiliates after the Distribution generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with us. This may include certain of our officers, directors and significant stockholders, including MSG Entertainment. Persons who are our affiliates will be permitted to sell their shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"). As described under "Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Registration Rights Agreements," we expect that certain persons will have registration rights with respect to our stock.

**Reason for Furnishing this Information Statement** 

This information statement is being furnished by MSG Entertainment solely to provide information to stockholders of MSG Entertainment who will receive shares of our common stock in the Distribution. It is not, and is not to be construed as, an inducement or encouragement to buy or sell any of our securities. We and MSG Entertainment will not update the information in this information statement except in the normal course of our and MSG Entertainment's respective public disclosure obligations and practices.

**BUSINESS** 

We are a Delaware corporation with our principal executive offices at Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121. Our telephone number is +1 (212) 465-6000. Spinco is a holding company and conducts substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries.

Spinco was incorporated on September 15, 2022 and is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of MSG Entertainment. MSG Entertainment's board of directors approved the Distribution on [●], 2023. Prior to the Distribution, the Company will acquire the subsidiary of MSG Entertainment that owns, directly and indirectly, the subsidiaries, businesses and other assets described in this information statement. Where we describe in this information statement our business activities, we do so as if these transfers have already occurred.

We expect that on or prior to the Distribution, Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. will change its name to "MSG Sphere Corp." and MSGE Spinco, Inc. will change its name to "Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp." We will apply for our Class A Common Stock to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol "MSGE" and we expect that Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") will change its symbol on the NYSE to "SPHR" in connection with the Distribution. We will not list our Class B Common Stock on any securities exchange.

**General** 

We are a leader in live entertainment experiences, comprised of iconic venues and marquee entertainment content. Utilizing our powerful brands and live entertainment expertise, the Company delivers unique experiences that set the standard for excellence and innovation while forging deep connections with diverse and passionate audiences.

Our company includes (i) our portfolio of venues: The Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden (formerly the Hulu Theater), Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, and The Chicago Theatre, (ii) the original production, the *Christmas Spectacular*, and (iii) our entertainment and sports bookings business, which showcases a broad array of compelling concerts, family shows and special events, as well as a diverse mix of sporting events, for millions of guests annually.

We manage our business through a single reportable segment.

**Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business** 

The Company's operations and operating results were materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (including COVID-19 variants) and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues during Fiscal Years 2020, 2021 and 2022. For the majority of Fiscal Year 2021, substantially all of our business operations were suspended. Fiscal Year 2022 was also impacted by the pandemic, with fewer ticketed events at our venues in the first half of the fiscal year as compared with Fiscal Year 2019 (the last full fiscal year not impacted by COVID-19) due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and an increase in COVID-19 cases due to a new variant, which resulted in a number of events at our venues being cancelled or postponed in the fiscal second and third quarters.

As a result of government-mandated assembly limitations and closures, all of our venues were closed beginning in March 2020. Use of The Garden resumed for Knicks and Rangers home games without fans in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively, and was available at 10% seating capacity from February through May 2021 subject to certain safety protocols and social distancing. Beginning in May 2021, all of our New York venues were permitted to host guests at full capacity, subject to certain restrictions, and effective June 2021, The Chicago Theatre was permitted to host events without restrictions. Guests of our Chicago and New York venues were also subject to certain vaccination requirements until February and March 2022, respectively. Our venues no longer require guests to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination before entering, but

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
specific performers may require enhanced protocols. We continue to monitor risks related to COVID-19 and prepare so that we can respond to any increased safety protocols that may be needed in response to a change in circumstances, request from a performer or new governmental or league mandates. However, existing or prior procedures may not be sufficient as COVID-19 continues to evolve, including through new case levels or variants.

For Fiscal Year 2021, the majority of ticketed events at our venues were postponed or cancelled. For Fiscal Year 2022 and as of the date of this filing, live events have been permitted to be held at all of our venues and we are continuing to host and book new events. As a result of an increase in cases of a COVID-19 variant, select bookings were postponed or cancelled at our venues in the second and third quarters of Fiscal Year 2022. Variants of COVID-19 that arise in the future may result in additional postponements or cancellations of bookings at our venues.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations also included the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular* and the cancellation of the 2020 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*.

The Company has Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that require the Knicks and Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. As discussed above, capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements were in place for the entirety of the Knicks and Rangers 2020-21 regular seasons, which materially impacted the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2021. On July 1, 2021, the Knicks and Rangers began paying the full amounts provided for under their respective Arena License Agreements. The Knicks and the Rangers each completed their 2021-2022 82-game regular seasons, with the Rangers advancing to the playoffs.

It is unclear to what extent COVID-19 concerns, including with respect to new variants, could result in new government or league-mandated capacity restrictions or vaccination/mask requirements or impact the use of and/or demand for our venues, demand for our sponsorship and signage assets, deter our employees and vendors from working at our venues (which may lead to difficulties in staffing) or otherwise materially impact our operations.

**Our Strategy** 

Our strategy is to create world-class live experiences for our guests and partners by leveraging (i) our Company's unique portfolio of live entertainment assets and brands; (ii) our expertise in venue management, bookings and productions, sponsorship, ticketing, marketing and premium hospitality and content development; (iii) our deep relationships across the entertainment and sports industries; and (iv) our strong connection with diverse and passionate audiences. We believe this strategy will enable us to generate long-term value creation for our shareholders.

Key components of our strategy include:

• *Maximizing the live entertainment experience for our customers.* We use the strength of our venues,
expertise and relationships to attract top talent and deliver unforgettable experiences for our guests. We have a track record of designing world-class facilities with top-quality amenities, including our
renovations of The Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and the Beacon Theatre. We also continue to explore new ways to use technology to improve the guest experience. From the way our customers buy food, beverage and merchandise, to how we market and
process their tickets, to utilizing next-generation audio technology in our venues, we strive to give our customers the best experience in the industry. We believe this approach will enable us to drive improvements in per-event revenue and profitability at our venues and help create a seamless and memorable guest experience that will help drive repeat visitation to our venues.

• *Increasing the utilization of our venues.* Part of what drives our success is our "artist first"
approach. Through dedicated artist areas and top-tier service, our talent-friendly environment not only attracts artists to our venues, but also brings them back for repeat performances. Another part of this
approach is how we use our diverse collection of venues. With seating capacities and configurations that range from 2,800 to 21,000, our venue portfolio enables us to shepherd artists through the growth in their careers, helping us develop deeper
industry relationships. We will continue to use this "artist first" approach to attract the industry's top talent with the goal of increasing utilization across all our venues through more multi-night concerts, as well as more marquee
special events. We also plan to continue exploring opportunities for new events that would be unique to our venues, including high-profile residencies that would help build our base of events.

• *Delivering unrivaled marketing exposure for our partners.* Our assets are highly sought after by companies
that value the popularity of our venues and entertainment brands. Our value proposition is further strengthened by our sponsorship sales representation agreement with MSG Sports which enables us to deliver broad-based marketing platforms that
combine our assets with MSG Sports' professional sports brands. We plan to continue utilizing this integrated approach to both renew and extend our relationships with existing partners, as well as to form partnerships with leading companies in
emerging industries and in industry verticals where we are currently underpenetrated. We also offer our partners expanded reach through outdoor signage around the Madison Square Garden Complex and Penn Station, a major commuter hub in Manhattan. We
plan to selectively explore additional opportunities to grow our external signage portfolio which could increase our existing marketing partnerships packages as well as attract new partners.

• *Offering best-in-class premium hospitality products*. The Company offers a wide array of premium corporate hospitality offerings that cater to a variety of audiences. For example, The Garden has a range of suite and club products, including 21 Event Level suites, 58 Lexus
Level suites, 18 Infosys Level suites, the Caesars Sportsbook Lounge, Suite Sixteen and the HUB Loft. These suites and clubs — which provide exclusive private spaces, first-class amenities and some of the best seats in The Garden — are
primarily licensed to corporate customers with the majority being multi-year agreements with annual escalators. Through our Arena License Agreements with the Knicks and Rangers, we also offer suite holders access to MSG Sports' premium live
sporting events. We believe the strength of our product and content offerings, along with the continued importance of corporate hospitality to our partners, position us well with regard to ongoing renewal and new sales activity. We also plan to
explore enhancing and expanding our premium hospitality offerings, which would create new monetization opportunities for the Company.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• *Understanding our customers.* We continue to forge direct relationships with customers and fans, with a
focus on understanding how consumers interact with every aspect of the Company. A key component of this strategy is our large and growing proprietary database of millions of customers. The data we collect from our venues and digital products
provides the Company with significant insights into our customers, including who is utilizing our digital assets and attending events at our venues. In addition to providing value for our marketing partners, these insights are leveraged to help
drive revenue and engagement across our assets, providing us with an opportunity to tailor offerings and cross-promote our products and services, introducing customers to our wide range of assets and brands. We also plan to increasingly use data to
proactively identify potential bookings for our venues.

• *Exploring opportunities to expand proprietary entertainment content.* We plan to selectively explore
opportunities to create new live entertainment content, including by leveraging owned intellectual property like the Rockettes. This would enable us to benefit from the economics of being both content owner and venue operator. Additional owned
content would also make us less reliant on third-party events to drive utilization of our venues.

**Our Business** 

Our Company delivers unforgettable live experiences — all in extraordinary settings, with a substantial presence in the New York market, our nation's largest DMA. This creates significant demand for our brands by a wide selection of artists, sporting events, premier companies and the public. And with a foundation of iconic venues, our Company has a proven ability to leverage the strength of our industry relationships, marketing assets, customer database and live event expertise to create compelling performance, promotion and distribution opportunities for artists, events and productions.

Specifically, the Company produces, presents and hosts a variety of live entertainment events, such as concerts, sporting events, family shows, performing arts events, special events and the wholly-owned *Christmas Spectacular* production which features the world-famous Rockettes. In addition, the Company hosts two of the most recognized franchises in professional sports — the NBA's Knicks and the NHL's Rangers. These live events are held at the Company's venues: The Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, and The Chicago Theatre. With seating capacities and configurations that range from 2,800 to 21,000, our diverse collection of venues enables us to showcase a multitude of acts and events that cover a wide spectrum of genres to diverse audiences.

Prior to December 2, 2022, the Company also owned a controlling interest in Boston Calling Events, LLC ("BCE"), the entertainment production company that owns and operates the Boston Calling Music Festival. The Company disposed of its controlling interest in BCE in Fiscal Year 2023.

***Our Bookings Business***

*Live Entertainment* 

Our Company is an established industry leader that books a wide variety of live entertainment events in our venues, which perennially include some of the biggest names in music and entertainment. Over the last several years, our venues have been key destinations for artists such as the Eagles, U2, Foo Fighters, Paul McCartney, Drake, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, Dead and Company, Phish, Fleetwood Mac, Kacey Musgraves, Eric Clapton, Josh Groban, Andrea Boccelli, Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Underwood, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Chris Stapleton, Radiohead, Barbra Streisand, Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande, Sebastian Maniscalco, Trevor Noah, John Mulaney and Dave Chappelle.

In addition, we have successfully developed new ways to increase the utilization of our venues, while creating unique experiences for artists and fans with our various residencies — including The Garden's first music franchise: Billy Joel at The Garden. This extraordinary residency is at a historic 87 performances and counting since it began in January 2014, bringing Billy Joel's lifetime performances at The World's Most Famous Arena to 133 (through February 2023). The Company's other current residencies include the multi-year, dual-city residency of Tedeschi

Trucks Band at both the Beacon Theatre and The Chicago Theatre. The Company has also in recent years successfully created other unique bookings and residencies across its portfolio of venues, including Jerry Seinfeld at the Beacon Theatre, Dave Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall, Phish's 13-night "Baker's Dozen" run at The Garden, Ali Wong at the Beacon Theatre, Josh Groban's "Great Big Radio City Show," Trey Anastasio's eight-week virtual residency at the Beacon Theatre — a first for the Company — and Harry Styles' 15-night run at The Garden.

Our venues also attract family shows and theatrical productions, which have included: *'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil* at both The Chicago Theatre and The Theater at Madison Square Garden, as well as *Peppa Pig Live!, Paw Patrol Live!* and *Sesame Street Live!*. Other significant events that have taken place at our venues include the Tony Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards, New York Comic Con, Tribeca Festival events and the final season premieres of both HBO's *Game of Thrones* and STARZ's *POWER*. We have also hosted appearances by luminaries such as His Holiness Pope Francis, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, along with graduations, television upfronts, product launches and film premieres.

Although we primarily license our venues to third-party promoters for a fee, we also promote or co-promote shows. If we serve as promoters or co-promoters of a show, we have economic risk relating to the event.

*Sports* 

MSG Sports' professional sports teams, the Knicks and Rangers, are two of the most recognized franchises in sports, with passionate, multi-generational fanbases. The Company has long-term Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden, allowing us to continue hosting their long-time fans at The World's Most Famous Arena.

Our Company also promotes, produces and/or presents a broad array of other live sporting events, including professional boxing, college basketball, college hockey, professional bull riding, mixed martial arts, esports and wrestling. Many of these events are among the most popular in our history and are perennial highlights on our annual calendar, as well as some of The Garden's longest-running associations.

Professional boxing has had a long history with The Garden. The Garden famously hosted Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier's 1971 "Fight of the Century," considered among the greatest sporting events in modern history, as well as numerous other boxing greats, including: Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Emile Griffith, George Foreman, Roberto Duran, Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Lennox Lewis, Roy Jones, Jr., Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Miguel Cotto and Wladimir Klitschko. In recent years, boxing's top fighters have called The Garden home, including former unified lightweight world champion Teofimo Lopez, former three weight class champion Vasiliy Lomachenko, former unified middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin and boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez. In 2022, for the first-time in The Garden's history, two women headlined a boxing event when Katie Taylor faced off against Amanda Serrano in front of a sold-out crowd for the undisputed lightweight championship.

Since the return of professional mixed martial arts in New York State in 2016, The Garden regularly hosts top UFC events, as well as Bellator MMA events and the Professional Fighters League, which has held events at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, including its inaugural World Championships.

College sports have been a mainstay at The Garden for decades, with college basketball being featured at The World's Most Famous Arena for nearly 90 years. The Garden hosted the annual Big East Tournament in March 2023 for the 41st straight year. It is the longest-running conference tournament at one site in all of college basketball and will celebrate its 42nd anniversary at The Garden in March 2024. In addition, St. John's University has called The Garden its "home away from home" for decades. The Garden also continues to build its college hockey tradition, with a popular biennial event featuring Cornell University vs. Boston University, as well as recent visits from top national teams such as Boston College, North Dakota, Harvard, Yale, Michigan and Minnesota.

For the first time in venue history, the Madison Square Garden Complex hosted professional darts when the US Darts Masters and the North American Championship took place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in 2022, which also marked the first time a professional darts championship was held in New York City.

Other world-class sporting events have included the NBA All-Star Game in 2015, and the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball East Regional Finals, which The Garden hosted in 2014 and 2017. The widely popular season-ending tournament is set to return to The Garden in 2023.

***Our Productions***

One of the Company's core properties, the *Christmas Spectacular* — which runs exclusively at Radio City Music Hall and features the world-famous Rockettes — has been performed at the Music Hall since 1933. This production has become a tradition for many, creating a holiday touchstone that generations of fans want to return to, time and again. The show's enduring popularity is driven by the incomparable Rockettes, the longest-running precision dance company in America, admired for their iconic style of dance, talent and athleticism, as well as their unity both on and off the stage.

In 2021, the production returned for a shortened run — a result of the COVID-19 pandemic — welcoming over 400,000 guests across 101 performances and serving as a source of joy and inspiration for many fans. The Rockettes perform in nine numbers throughout the 90-minute production — with more technically complex and different styles of dance than ever before.

We acquired the rights to the *Christmas Spectacular* in 1997, and those rights are separate from, and do not depend on the continuation of, our lease of Radio City Music Hall. We also hold rights to the Rockettes brand in the same manner. We lease Radio City Music Hall pursuant to a long-term lease agreement. See "— Our Business — Our Venues — *Radio City Music Hall.*"

The Company believes it has a significant and unique asset in the Rockettes and continues to strengthen and broaden the Rockettes brand by targeting the most prominent and effective vehicles that elevate their visibility and underscore their reputation as beloved American cultural icons. The Rockettes have appeared or performed at high-profile events and award shows, including Presidential Inaugurations, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Macy's 4th of July Fireworks event, the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting, New Year's Eve Times Square Ball Drop, Tony Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, World Pride events, and television shows and holiday specials (*Saturday Night Live, America's Got Talent, Project Runway, The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, The Today Show, Live with Kelly and Ryan* and *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*), among many others. In November 2022, the Rockettes were featured in Hallmark Channel's movie, "A Holiday Spectacular," which was shot in part on location at Radio City Music Hall and will debut as part of the network's Countdown to Christmas programming.

We continue to pursue opportunities to generate greater brand awareness, including through television and public appearances and dance education offerings. We are also committed to ensuring that the best dancers from all backgrounds, cultures, races, religions and ethnicities can become Rockettes, and are actively strengthening our relationships within the dance community, expanding where we hold auditions and scouting sessions, and eliminating financial barriers to entry, including for Rockettes Conservatory, our dancer development program. Rockettes Conservatory is an invite-only, week-long intensive training program held at Radio City Music Hall and offered at no cost to participants. The program was designed as an investment in promising dancers' futures, and in addition to becoming an inclusive talent pipeline for future Rockettes, conservatory ensures the dance company continues to evolve by attracting the best dancers. Additionally, to create a more inclusive line by broadening the number of dancers eligible to become Rockettes, the organization announced an expanded height requirement beginning with the April 2022 audition. The dance company continues to foster relationships with diverse dance organizations, including Dance Theatre of Harlem, Harlem School of the Arts, The Ailey School, International Association of Blacks in Dance and The Chloé and Maud Foundation, to provide program support,

***Our Venues***

The Company operates a mix of iconic venues that continue to build on their historic prominence as destinations for unforgettable experiences and events.

We own or operate under long-term leases a total of five venues in New York City and Chicago. These venues are: The Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre in New York City; and The Chicago Theatre.

*The Garden* 

The Garden has been a celebrated center of New York life since it first opened its doors in 1879. Over its 143-year history, there have been four Garden buildings, each known for showcasing the best of the era's live sports and entertainment offerings. We believe that The Garden has come to epitomize the power and passion of live sports and entertainment to people around the world, with an appearance at The Garden often representing a pinnacle of an athlete's or performer's career. Known as "The World's Most Famous Arena," The Garden has been the site of some of the most memorable events in sports and entertainment, and together with The Theater at Madison Square Garden, has hosted hundreds of events and millions of visitors each year. In 2009, *Billboard* magazine ranked The Garden the number-one venue of the decade in its respective class based upon gross ticket sales. Music industry subscribers to the trade magazine *Pollstar* have voted The Garden "Arena of the Year" 23 times since the inception of the awards in 1989. The Garden also regularly ranks as the highest-grossing entertainment venue of its size in the world based on *Billboard* magazine's mid-year and year-end rankings. The venue was ranked number one worldwide four times in the last five years for venues with a capacity over 15,001, according to *Billboard's* year-end rankings.

Over The Garden's history, it has been the setting for countless "big events," inspired performances and one-of-a-kind moments that have helped define sports, entertainment and culture. Highlights include "The Fight of the Century" between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in 1971, the 1970 Knicks' NBA Championship, the Rangers' 1994 Stanley Cup Championship, three Democratic National Conventions and one Republican National Convention, Marilyn Monroe's famous birthday serenade to President John F. Kennedy, Frank Sinatra's "Main Event" concert in 1974, the only U.S. concerts from the reunited Cream, the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts, the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, and Billy Joel's record-breaking 133 total performances at The Garden (through February 2023). In September 2015, His Holiness Pope Francis celebrated Mass at The Garden as part of his successful U.S. visit, which marked the first time a current pope has visited The Garden since Pope John Paul II in 1979. The Garden has also hosted four prominent benefit concerts, which galvanized the public to respond to national and global crises, including the first of its kind, "The Concert for Bangladesh" in 1972, as well as "The Concert for New York City," following the events of 9/11, "From the Big Apple to the Big Easy," held after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and "12-12-12, The Concert for Sandy Relief" in 2012. And in February 2020, *To Kill a Mockingbird* became the first-ever Broadway play to perform at The Garden with an entirely free performance for 18,000 New York City public school students. The Garden also continues to be home to two of MSG Sports' professional sports franchises – the Knicks and Rangers.

The current Madison Square Garden Complex, located between 31st and 33rd Streets and Seventh and Eighth Avenues on Manhattan's West Side, opened on February 11, 1968 with a salute to the United Service Organizations hosted by Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. From a structural standpoint, the construction of the current Garden was considered an engineering wonder for its time, including its famous circular shape and unique, cable supported ceiling, which contributes to its intimate feel. It was the first large structure built over an active railroad track. The builder, R.E. McKee, had a national reputation and was later recognized as a "Master Builder" by the construction industry. Architect Charles Luckman had one of the largest firms in the country and designed such buildings as the Prudential Tower in Boston, NASA's flight center in Houston and the Forum in Inglewood, CA.

Following a three-year, top-to-bottom renovation, in October 2013, The Garden was fully transformed, featuring improved sightlines, additional entertainment and dining options, new concourses, upgraded hospitality areas, new technology, unique historic exhibits, and a completely transformed interior, where the intimacy of the arena bowl and The Garden's world-famous ceiling were maintained. Focused on the total fan experience, the renovation was designed to benefit everyone in attendance, whether first-time visitors, season ticket subscribers, athletes, artists, suite holders or marketing partners. The Garden's transformation ensured that attending an event at "The World's Most Famous Arena" remained unlike anywhere else.

We own the Madison Square Garden Complex, the platform on which it is built and development rights (including air rights) above our property. Madison Square Garden sits atop Penn Station, a major commuter hub in Manhattan, which is owned by the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak). While the development rights we own would permit us to expand in the future, any such use of development rights would require various approvals from the City of New York. The Garden seats up to approximately 21,000 spectators for entertainment and sporting events and, along with The Theater at Madison Square Garden, contains approximately 1,100,000 square feet of floor space over 11 levels.

*The Theater at Madison Square Garden* 

The Theater at Madison Square Garden, which has approximately 5,600 seats, opened as part of the fourth Madison Square Garden Complex in 1968. Since then, some of the biggest names in live entertainment have performed at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, including The Who, Diana Ross, Elton John, James Taylor, Mary J. Blige, Pentatonix, John Legend, Karol G, Ellie Goulding, Chris Rock, Neil Young, Bill Maher, Jerry Seinfeld, Tyler, the Creator, J Balvin, Ricky Gervais, Nicky Jam, Aziz Ansari, Alejandro Sanz, Bert Kreischer and Van Morrison. The Theater at Madison Square Garden has also been the site for several boxing events including the inaugural World Championships of the Professional Fighters League as well as the NBA and NFL Drafts. In addition, it has hosted various product launches, upfronts, award shows, and other special events such as *Wheel of Fortune* and audition shows for *America's Got Talent*, as well as a variety of theatrical productions and family shows, including '*Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil, A Christmas Story, Elf The Musical, Paw Patrol Live!* and *Sesame Street Live!*. The Theater at Madison Square Garden regularly ranks as one of the highest-grossing entertainment venues of its size in the world, based on *Billboard* magazine's mid-year and year-end rankings.

*Radio City Music Hall* 

Radio City Music Hall has a rich history as a national theatrical and cultural mecca since it was first built by theatrical impresario S.L. "Roxy" Rothafel in 1932. Known as "The Showplace of the Nation," it was the first building in the Rockefeller Center complex and, at the time, the largest indoor theater in the world. Radio City Music Hall, a venue with approximately 6,000 seats, hosts concerts, family shows and special events, and is home to the *Christmas Spectacular*. See "— Our Business — Our Productions." Over its history, entertainers who have graced the Great Stage include: Aretha Franklin, Lady Gaga, Brian Wilson, Harry Styles, Diana Ross, Lizzo, Olivia Rodrigo, Josh Groban, Mariah Carey, Lorde, Nine Inch Nails, Trey Anastasio, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Tony Bennett, Hasan Minhaj, Billie Eilish, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jim Gaffigan, David Gilmour and Dave Chappelle. Radio City Music Hall was recognized by *Pollstar* magazine as Theatre of the Decade for 2009-2019 and regularly ranks as the highest-grossing entertainment venue of its size in the world, based on *Billboard* magazine's mid-year and year-end rankings. The venue has ranked number one worldwide nine of the last ten years for venues with capacities of 5,001 to 10,000, according to *Billboard's* year-end rankings.

In 1978, Radio City Music Hall was designated a New York City landmark by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission and a national landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. We acquired the lease in 1997, and in 1999, performed a complete restoration that returned the legendary theater to its original grandeur. The acclaimed restoration touched all aspects of the venue, including burnishing the ceilings of Radio City Music Hall with 720,000 sheets of gold and aluminum leaf, replacing the existing stage curtain with a new 112-foot wide golden silk curtain, and cleaning the three-story tall mural "The Fountain of Youth," by Ezra

Winter, which looms above the grand staircase. State-of-the-art sound systems, lighting and HDTV capabilities were also installed.

We lease Radio City Music Hall, located at Sixth Avenue and 50th Street in Manhattan, pursuant to a long-term lease agreement. In July 2021, the Company extended the term of the lease, previously set to expire in 2023, until August 31, 2038 with an option to renew for an additional 10 years by providing two years' notice prior to expiration.

*Beacon Theatre* 

In November 2006, we entered into a long-term lease agreement to operate the legendary Beacon Theatre, a venue with approximately 2,800 seats, which sits on the corner of Broadway and 74th Street in Manhattan. The Beacon Theatre was conceived by S. L. "Roxy" Rothafel and is considered the "older sister" to Radio City Music Hall. Designed by Chicago architect Walter Ahlschlager, the Beacon Theatre opened in 1929 as a forum for vaudeville acts, musical productions, drama, opera and movies. The Beacon Theatre was designated a New York City landmark by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1979 and a national landmark on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Over its history, the Beacon Theatre has been a venerable rock and roll room for some of the greatest names in music, including: Steely Dan, Coldplay, Alice Cooper, Dave Matthews Band, Crosby Stills & Nash, Elton John, Hozier, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Eddie Vedder, John Mellencamp, Widespread Panic and Bob Dylan, as well as The Allman Brothers Band, which played their 238th show at the Beacon Theatre in October 2014, marking their final concert as a band. In recent years, the venue has become a comedy haven, hosting a monthly Jerry Seinfeld residency and multi-night stands from comedians including Ali Wong, Sebastian Maniscalco, Chelsea Handler, Eddie Izzard, Nate Bargatze and Russell Peters. The venue has also hosted special events, such as film premieres for the Tribeca Festival, along with numerous luminaries such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2009 and 2013, and President Bill Clinton in 2006, when the Rolling Stones played a private concert in honor of his 60th birthday. In Fall 2020, the Company and Trey Anastasio presented *The Beacon Jams*, the venue's first-ever virtual residency which included eight weekly shows that were streamed live to hundreds of thousands of fans and raised more than $1 million for charity.

In August 2008, the Beacon Theatre was closed for a seven-month restoration project to return the theater to its original 1929 grandeur. The restoration of the Beacon Theatre focused on all historic, interior public spaces of the building, backstage and back-of-house areas, and was based on extensive historic research, as well as detailed, on-site examination of original, decorative painting techniques that had been covered by decades-old layers of paint. The Beacon Theatre has won several architectural awards recognizing its outstanding restoration. The widely acclaimed, comprehensive restoration was similar to our restoration of Radio City Music Hall and reflects our commitment to New York City. The Beacon Theatre regularly ranks as one of the highest-grossing entertainment venues of its size in the world, based on *Billboard* magazine's mid-year and year-end rankings.

In August 2022, the Beacon Theatre debuted a groundbreaking new sound system — Sphere Immersive Sound — which was developed for MSG Sphere at The Venetian, substantially improving the audio experience at the venue and providing greater programming control and flexibility for artists and engineers.

In December 2021, the Company extended the term of our lease on the Beacon Theatre, previously set to expire in 2026, until December 31, 2036 with an option to renew for an additional 10 years by providing notice prior to expiration.

*The Chicago Theatre* 

In October 2007, to provide us with an anchor for content and distribution in a key market in the Midwest, we purchased the legendary The Chicago Theatre, a venue with approximately 3,600 seats. The Chicago Theatre, which features its famous six-story-high "C-H-I-C-A-G-O" marquee, was built in 1921 and designed in the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
French Baroque style by architects Cornelius W. Rapp and George L. Rapp. It is the oldest surviving example of this architectural style in Chicago today, and was designated a Chicago landmark building in 1983.

The Chicago Theatre has become a highly attractive destination for concerts, comedy shows and other live events, hosting a wide range of entertainers, including Bob Dylan, Mumford & Sons, David Byrne, Neil Young, Diana Ross, Madonna, Jerry Seinfeld, Janet Jackson, Elvis Costello, Bob Weir, Jim Gaffigan, Conan O'Brien, Amy Schumer, Steely Dan and Brett Eldredge. The venue has also hosted theatrical tours such as *'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil, A Christmas Story, The Wizard of Oz, Paw Patrol Live!* and *Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical*. The Chicago Theatre regularly ranks as one of the highest-grossing entertainment venues of its size in the world, based on *Billboard* magazine's mid-year and year-end rankings.

**Intellectual Property** 

We create, own and license intellectual property in the countries in which we operate, have operated or intend to operate, and it is our practice to protect our trademarks, brands, copyrights, inventions and other original and acquired works. We have registered many of our trademarks and have filed applications for certain others. Additionally, we have filed for patent protection in the United States. Our registrations and applications relate to trademarks and inventions associated with, among other of our brands, Madison Square Garden and the Radio City Rockettes brands. We believe our ability to maintain and monetize our intellectual property rights, including our brand logos, are important to our business, our brand-building efforts and the marketing of our products and services. We cannot predict, however, whether steps taken by us to protect our proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of these rights or protect against vulnerability to oppositions or cancellation actions due to non-use.

**Other Investments** 

Our Company explores investment opportunities that strengthen its existing position within the entertainment landscape and/or allow us to exploit our assets and core competencies for growth.

**Our Community** 

The Company actively engages with and supports the communities we serve through a variety of important initiatives.

We are proud to play a leadership role organizing extraordinary events such as opening The Garden to the "12-12-12" benefit concert organized post-Superstorm Sandy, which raised more than $50 million for hurricane victims. In February 2020, The Garden opened its doors to 18,000 New York City public school students for an exclusive, free performance of the Broadway production of *To Kill a Mockingbird*. In addition to these events, the Company provides funding annually to various non-profit organizations across the country, as well as in-kind contributions such as tickets, promotional items and food to schools, charities and community-based organizations in the local area. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company worked with dozens of local restaurants and charities to donate approximately 200,000 meals to families in need. In addition, the Company is a long-time supporter of the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, the nation's largest private supporter of pancreatic cancer research, which has directed more than $225 million to research and assembled the best scientific minds to help find a cure.

Our Company also has a close association with The Garden of Dreams Foundation (the "Foundation"), a non-profit charity dedicated to bringing life changing opportunities to young people in need. In partnership with the Company and MSG Sports, the Foundation provides young people in our communities with access to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
educational and skills opportunities, mentoring programs, and memorable experiences that enhance their lives, help shape their futures and create lasting joy. Specific initiatives include the Inspire Scholarship program, which has committed since its inception over $5.8 million in aid to high school seniors to provide financial assistance related to college and trade school expenses. All of the Foundation's activities target young people facing illness or financial challenges, as well as children of uniformed personnel who have been lost or injured while serving our communities. Since its inception in 2006, the Foundation has impacted more than 400,000 young people and their families.

**Regulation** 

The rules, regulations, policies and procedures affecting our business are subject to change. The following paragraphs describe the existing legal and regulatory requirements that are most significant to our business today; they do not purport to describe all present and proposed laws and regulations affecting our business.

Our business is subject to the general powers of federal, state and local government, as well as foreign governmental authorities, to deal with matters of health and public safety.

*Venue Licenses* 

Our venues, like all public spaces, are subject to building and health codes and fire regulations imposed by the state and local governments in the jurisdictions in which they are located. Our venues are also subject to zoning and outdoor advertising regulations, and, with respect to Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre and The Chicago Theatre, landmark regulations which restrict us from making certain modifications to our facilities as of right or from operating certain types of businesses. Our venues also require a number of licenses to operate, including occupancy permits, exhibition licenses, food and beverage permits, liquor licenses and other authorizations and, with respect to The Garden, a zoning special permit granted by the New York City Planning Commission. In the jurisdictions in which these venues are located, the operator is subject to statutes that generally provide that serving alcohol to a visibly intoxicated or minor guest is a violation of the law and may provide for strict liability for certain damages arising out of such violations. In addition, our venues are subject to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (and related state and local statutes), which requires us to maintain certain accessibility features at each of our facilities. We and our venues are also subject to environmental laws and regulations. See "— Risk Factors — Economic and Operational Risks — *We Are Subject to Extensive Governmental Regulation and Our Failure to Comply with These Regulations May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.*"

*Labor* 

Our business is also subject to regulation regarding working conditions, overtime and minimum wage requirements. See "— Risk Factors — Economic and Operational Risks — *Labor Matters May Have a Material Negative Effect on Our Business and Results of Operations.*"

*Ticket Sales* 

Our business is subject to legislation governing the sale and resale of tickets and consumer protection statutes generally.

*Data and Privacy* 

We are subject to data privacy and protection laws, regulations, policies and contractual obligations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage, processing and use of personal information or personal data, which among other things, impose certain requirements relating to the privacy and security of personal information. The variety of laws and regulations governing data privacy and protection, and the use of the internet as a commercial medium are rapidly evolving, extensive and complex, and may include provisions and obligations that are inconsistent with one another or uncertain in their scope or application.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The data protection landscape is rapidly evolving in the United States. For example, California passed a comprehensive data privacy law, the CCPA, and other states including Virginia and Colorado have also passed similar laws. Additionally, the CPRA imposed additional data protection obligations on covered businesses, including additional consumer rights procedures and obligations, limitations on data uses, new audit requirements for higher risk data, and constraints on certain uses of sensitive data. The majority of the CPRA provisions went into effect on January 1, 2023, and additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required. Further, there are several legislative proposals in the United States, at both the federal and state level, that could impose new privacy and security obligations.

In addition, governmental authorities and private litigants continue to bring actions against companies for online collection, use, dissemination and security practices that are unfair or deceptive.

*Website and Mobile Application Requirements* 

Our business is also subject to certain regulations applicable to our Internet websites and mobile applications. We maintain various websites and mobile applications that provide information and content regarding our business, offer merchandise and tickets for sale, make available sweepstakes and/or contests and offer hospitality services. The operation of these websites and applications may be subject to third-party application store requirements, as well as a range of federal, state and local laws including those related to privacy and protection of personal information, accessibility for persons with disabilities and consumer protection regulations. In addition, to the extent any of our websites seek to collect information from children under 13 years of age, they may be subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which places restrictions on websites' and online services' collection and use of personally identifiable information online from children under age 13 without parental consent.

**Competition** 

Our business competes, in certain respects and to varying degrees, with other live performances, sporting events, movies, home entertainment (including the Internet and online services, social media and social networking platforms, television, video and gaming devices), and the large number of other entertainment and public attraction options available to members of the public. Our business typically represents alternative uses for the public's entertainment dollars. The primary geographic area in which we operate, New York City, is among the most competitive entertainment markets in the world, with the world's largest live theater industry and extensive performing arts venues, 12 major professional sports teams, numerous museums, galleries and other attractions, and numerous movie theaters available to the public. Our venues and live offerings outside of New York City similarly compete with other entertainment options in their respective markets and elsewhere. We compete with these other entertainment options on the basis of the quality of our offerings, the public's interest in our content and the price of our tickets.

We compete for bookings with a large number of other venues both in the cities in which our venues are located and in alternative locations capable of booking the same productions and events. Generally, we compete for bookings on the basis of the size, quality, expense and nature of the venue required for the booking. Some of our competitors may have a larger network of venues and/or greater financial resources.

In addition to competition for bookings and ticket sales, we also compete to varying degrees with other productions and sporting events for sponsorship dollars.

**Human Capital Resources** 

We believe the strength of our workforce is one of the significant contributors to our success. Our key human capital management objectives are to invest in and support our employees in order to attract, develop and retain a high performing and diverse workforce. ****

***Diversity and Inclusion ("D&I")***

We aim to create an employee experience that fosters the Company's culture of respect and inclusion. By welcoming the diverse perspectives and experiences of our employees, we all share in the creation of a more vibrant, unified, and engaging place to work. To advance these efforts, we maintain a Diversity and Inclusion Council (the "D&I Council") comprised of employees from the Company, MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports who have demonstrated a high level of passion and commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Several D&I Council initiatives have furthered these objectives under the expanded Talent Management, Diversity and Inclusion function led by MSG Entertainment's VP, Talent Management and Chief Diversity Officer, including:

management team and facilitated four diversity and inclusion content-specific working sessions to advise leaders on strategies to build and retain inclusive teams.

• Revisited our mandatory Inclusive Selection Training for managers and developed guidelines to de-bias talent review conversations with an aim to increase objectivity and consistency around leadership potential.

• Developed an Emerging Talent List to expand our talent pool to better identify and develop high performing
diverse talent for expanded roles and promotion opportunities.

*Workplace: Building an Inclusive and Accessible Community* 

• In fiscal year 2022, MSG Entertainment launched the MSG Diversity & Inclusion Heritage Month enterprise
calendar to acknowledge and celebrate culturally relevant days and months of recognition, anchored by our six employee resource groups: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), Black, LatinX, PRIDE, Veterans, and Women. Viewership of D&I
related content on our internal employee communications portal by MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports personnel more than doubled year-over-year.

• Introduced a Paid Military Leave benefit to support our employees who are called to military service,
demonstrating our commitment to be a military-friendly employer.

• Launched our first employer-branded campaign, "We Are MSG", reflecting the values of the Company, MSG
Entertainment and MSG Sports and the diversity that unites our community. The first video, Faces of MSG, was publicly released on internal and external platforms, anchoring our careers website and LinkedIn page.

*Community: Bridging the Divide through Expansion to Diverse Stakeholders* 

• Focused on connecting with minority-owned businesses to increase the diversity of our vendors and suppliers by
leveraging employee resource groups and our community, which creates revenue generating opportunities for diverse suppliers to promote their businesses and products. In Fiscal Year 2022, MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports hosted the Black Fashion Pop-Up Shop and Pride Fest for Black and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, respectively.

• Invested in an external facing supplier diversity portal on our website, which we expect to launch in Fiscal Year
2023. The portal is intended to expand opportunities for MSG Entertainment to do business with diverse suppliers, including minority-, women-, LGBTQ+- and veteran-owned businesses.

• Strengthened our commitment to higher education institutions to increase campus recruitment pipelines. In
partnership with the Knicks and our social impact team, MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports hosted the 1st

Annual Historically Black Colleges and Universities ("HBCU") Night highlighting the important contributions of these institutions. In partnership with Chase, MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports awarded a twenty-five-thousand-dollar scholarship to a Spelman College student. Additionally, we hosted HBCU SpringComing Innovation Lab for select HBCU alumni and students, leveraging their insights to strengthen our recruitment outreach strategy. We also partnered with select City University of New York students to host resume workshops curated and sponsored by the PRIDE employee resource group. <br>

***Talent***

As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 970 full-time union and non-union employees and 6,021 part-time union and non-union employees.

We aim to attract top talent through our prestigious brands and venues, as well as through the many benefits we offer. We aim to retain and develop our talent by emphasizing our competitive rewards, offering opportunities that support employees both personally and professionally, and our commitment to fostering career development in a positive corporate culture.

Our performance management practice includes ongoing feedback and conversations between managers and team members, and talent reviews designed to identify potential future leaders and inform succession plans. We value continuous learning and development opportunities for our employees, which include a career development tool, leadership development programs, a learning platform, and tuition assistance.

Our benefit offerings are designed to meet the range of needs of our diverse workforce and include: domestic partner coverage, an employee assistance program which also provides assistance with child and elder care resources, legal support, pet insurance, wellness programs and financial planning seminars. These resources are intended to support the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our employees.

As of December 31, 2022, approximately 4,900 full-time and part-time employees, who represent approximately 70% of the Company's workforce, were subject to CBAs. Approximately 3% were subject to CBAs that expired as of December 31, 2022 and approximately 38% were subject to CBAs that will expire by June 30, 2023, if they are not extended prior thereto. Labor relations can be volatile, though our current relationships with our unions taken as a whole are positive. We have from time to time faced labor action or had to make contingency plans because of threatened or potential labor actions.

***COVID-19***

The health and safety of our employees, contractors, performing artists, athletes and guests at our venues is our top priority. In response to COVID-19, measures were taken to ensure that health and safety protocols were in place and enforced throughout our offices and our venues, to the extent applicable. We also supported our employees through our relief fund, wellness programming and remote working capabilities. At times this included capacity restrictions and social distancing and vaccination and mask requirements. Although these policies are not currently required, we continue to monitor the evolving risks related to COVID-19 so that we can reintroduce these or other policies as needed. We believe we have been able to resume our business operations without sacrificing this commitment to keeping our employees and contractors safe while working on-site.

**Properties** 

We own the Madison Square Garden Complex, which includes The Garden (with a maximum capacity of approximately 21,000 seats) and The Theater at Madison Square Garden (approximately 5,600 seats) in New York City, comprising approximately 1,100,000 square feet; and The Chicago Theatre (approximately 3,600 seats) in Chicago comprising approximately 72,600 square feet.

Significant properties that are leased in New York City include approximately 373,000 square feet housing Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.'s administrative and executive offices with approximately 47,000

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
square feet of space that is subleased to MSG Sports, approximately 577,000 square feet comprising Radio City Music Hall (approximately 6,000 seats) and approximately 57,000 square feet comprising the Beacon Theatre (approximately 2,800 seats). For more information on our venues, see "— Our Business — Our Venues."

Our Madison Square Garden Complex is subject to and benefits from various easements, including over the "breezeway" into Madison Square Garden from Seventh Avenue in New York City (which we share with other property owners). Our ability to continue to utilize easements requires us to comply with certain conditions. Moreover, certain adjoining property owners have easements over our property, which we are required to maintain so long as those property owners meet certain conditions.

**Legal Proceedings** 

Fifteen complaints were filed in connection with MSG Entertainment's acquisition of MSG Networks Inc. (the "Networks Merger") by purported stockholders of MSG Entertainment and MSG Networks Inc. Nine of these complaints involved allegations of materially incomplete and misleading information set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by MSG Entertainment and MSG Networks Inc. in connection with the Networks Merger. These disclosure actions were subsequently voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. Six complaints involved allegations of fiduciary breaches in connection with the negotiation and approval of the Networks Merger and have since been consolidated into two remaining litigations. MSG Entertainment and MSG Networks Inc. will retain all rights and obligations with respect to these claims, as applicable, and MSG Entertainment will indemnify the Company from and release the Company from all present and future costs, expenses, and liabilities, if any, related to these claims. On March 14, 2023, the parties to the MSG Entertainment litigation reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation on the terms and conditions set forth in a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet"), which will be incorporated into a long-form settlement agreement. The Term Sheet provides for, among other things, the final dismissal of the MSG Entertainment litigation in exchange for a settlement payment to MSG Entertainment of $85 million, subject to customary reduction for attorneys' fees and expenses, in an amount to be determined by the court. The settlement amount will be fully funded by defendants' insurers. The settlement of the litigation is subject to the final approval of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty (including the extent of available insurance, if any), management does not believe that resolution of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

**Financial Information about Geographic Areas** 

All revenues and assets of the Company are attributed to or located in the United States. A majority of the Company's revenues and assets are concentrated in the New York City metropolitan area.

**Emerging Growth Company Status**

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." These exemptions generally include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Although we are still evaluating the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to us as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, except that we have irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
We will, in general, remain as an emerging growth company for up to five full fiscal years following the Distribution. We would cease to be an emerging growth company and, therefore, become ineligible to rely on the above exemptions, if we:

• have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue in a fiscal year;

• issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period; or

• become a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, which would occur after:
(i) we have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act; (ii) we have been an SEC-reporting company for at least 12 months; and (iii) the market value of our common stock that is held by
non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**DIVIDEND POLICY** 

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. All decisions regarding the payment of dividends will be made by our Board of Directors from time to time in accordance with applicable law.

**UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION** 

All amounts included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information are presented in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise noted.

On December 6, 2022, the board of directors of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. ("MSG Entertainment") authorized MSG Entertainment management to explore a potential tax-free spin-off of the traditional live entertainment business from the MSG Sphere, MSG Networks, and Tao Group Hospitality businesses.

MSGE Spinco, Inc. ("we", "us", "our", "Spinco" or the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 15, 2022 to be the company to hold the traditional live entertainment business of MSG Entertainment. In the first step of the transaction, record holders of MSG Entertainment Class A and Class B common stock would receive a pro-rata distribution expected to be equivalent, in the aggregate, to approximately 67% of the economic interest in the Company (the "Distribution"). The remaining approximately 33% economic interest in the Company would be retained by MSG Entertainment, subject to completion of the Distribution. These transfers to us by MSG Entertainment are treated as a contribution to our capital at MSG Entertainment's historical cost.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and the year ended June 30, 2022 have been derived from the historical annual and interim combined financial statements of the Company, including the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2022, and the audited combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022, included elsewhere in this information statement. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented below should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our historical annual and interim combined financial statements and corresponding notes thereto included elsewhere in this information statement. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects certain known impacts as a result of the Distribution to separate the Company from MSG Entertainment.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Distribution and related adjustments in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared giving effect to the Distribution as if this transaction had occurred as of December 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared giving effect to the Distribution as if this transaction had occurred on July 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also reflects certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable given the information currently available.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and the year ended June 30, 2022, respectively, have been prepared to reflect transaction accounting and autonomous entity adjustments to the Company's historical combined financial statements to present the financial condition and results of operations as if we were a separate stand-alone entity. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to give effect to the following items (collectively, the "Pro Forma Adjustments"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjustments for differences between the historical combined balance sheet prepared on a carve-out basis and assets and liabilities expected to be transferred between MSG Entertainment and the Company. Adjustments also give effect to the related impacts to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statements of operations;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The distribution of approximately 67% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock by MSG
Entertainment in connection with the Distribution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of transactions contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of and transactions contemplated by other contracts entered into between MSG Entertainment and the
Company at the time of Distribution, such as the Employee Matters Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other adjustments as described in the notes to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Income tax impacts of the adjustments described above.

In preparing the pro forma condensed combined financial information, we did not include adjustments for the following items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's historical combined financial statements reflect net operating loss ("NOL")
carryforwards calculated on a separate return basis. These NOL carryforwards were calculated as if the Company operated as a separate stand-alone entity for the periods presented in the historical annual and interim combined financial statements of
the Company included elsewhere in this Information Statement. Because the Distribution involves a spin-off of the Company, these NOLs do not carry over to the Company in connection with the reorganization
transactions related to the Distribution. Historically, amounts that we collected for sponsorships and suite rentals in advance were recorded as deferred revenue and were recognized as revenues when earned for both accounting and tax purposes. In
connection with the reorganization transactions related to the Distribution, the tax recognition for certain of these deferred revenues will be accelerated to the date of the Distribution, rather than recognized over the course of one year. Assuming
the Distribution occurred on December 31, 2022, the estimated tax on the acceleration of such deferred revenue is $58,000. Such tax will be the responsibility of MSG Entertainment, however MSG Entertainment will fully offset the deferred
revenue income with their NOLs. The Company will not reimburse MSG Entertainment for such taxes. This one-time benefit will not recur in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, MSG Entertainment Holdings, LLC (the "DDTL Lender"), is
expected to enter into the DDTL Facility with MSG Entertainment (the "DDTL Borrower") on or prior to the date of the Distribution. The DDTL Borrower will be able to draw up to $65,000 of senior unsecured delayed draw term loans
("Delayed Draw Term Loans") for a period of 18 months following the effective date of the facility. Any Delayed Draw Term Loans that are funded will bear interest at a variable rate equal to either, at the option of the DDTL Borrower,
(a) a base rate plus an applicable margin, or (b) the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.10%, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is expected to be equal to the then applicable margin under the
National Properties Facilities plus 1.00% per annum. In addition, the DDTL Facility will include an unused commitment fee in respect of the daily unused commitments under the facility at a rate equal to the unused commitment fee rate under the
National Properties Revolving Credit Facility plus 0.10% per annum. All interest and commitment fees accruing prior to January 1, 2024 will be payable in kind by capitalizing and adding such interest or fee to the outstanding principal amount
of the Delayed Draw Term Loans. All interest and commitment fees accruing on and after January 1, 2024 will be payable in cash or by delivering to the DDTL Lender shares of Class A common stock of the Company as described below. Subject to customary
borrowing conditions, the DDTL Borrower will be able to draw down on the DDTL Facility in up to six increments of $5,000 or more in an aggregate amount not to exceed $65,000. If the DDTL Borrower draws down on the DDTL Facility, the outstanding
principal balance will be due, together with any unpaid interest thereon, 18 months following the Distribution. The DDTL Facility is pre-payable at any time without penalty and amounts drawn under the DDTL Facility may not be reborrowed. There are
no financial covenants associated with the DDTL Facility. The DDTL Borrower will have the option to make any payments of principal, interest or fees under the DDTL Facility either in cash or by delivering to the DDTL Lender shares of the
Company's Class A

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Common Stock. If the DDTL Borrower elects to make any payment in the form of the Company's Class A Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be calculated based on the dollar volume-weighted average trading price for the Company's Class A Common Stock for the twenty trading days ending on the day on which the DDTL Borrower makes such election. <br>

The Company does not expect the DDTL Borrower to draw on the DDTL Facility prior to or at the completion of the Distribution; however, if the DDTL Borrower were to do so, the Company may concurrently draw the same amount from the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility. If this occurs, the Company's cash balance would remain unchanged and it would recognize a loan payable for the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility and a corresponding loan receivable from the DDTL Borrower up to a maximum of $65,000. In addition, future periods would reflect an interest payable for the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility and the related interest expense, and an interest receivable from the DDTL Borrower and the related interest income. If the full capacity of the DDTL Facility was utilized assuming the rates in place as of December 31, 2022, and the corresponding amount was drawn from the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility, the Company would have recorded approximately $2,659 and $5,317 of interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and the year ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and approximately $2,984 and $5,967 of interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and the year ended June 30, 2022, respectively, in its unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. Assuming the DDTL Facility was fully drawn and the same amount was funded by the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility, a 1% change in the interest rate on the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility would result in approximately $650 of incremental interest expense by the Company, which would be primarily offset by the additional interest income from MSG Entertainment. The amounts of deferred financing costs attributable to the DDTL Facility have not yet been determined. As the DDTL Borrower is not currently expected to exercise its right to utilize the DDTL Facility prior to or at the completion of the Distribution, management has not adjusted the unaudited pro forma combined financial information herein.

Our historical combined financial statements, which were the basis for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, were prepared on a carve-out basis as we did not operate as a stand-alone entity for the periods presented. As part of the Distribution, certain corporate and operational support functions are being transferred to the Company and therefore, allocations of corporate overhead and shared services expense to MSG Entertainment from the Company were recorded for corporate and operational functions as a reduction of either direct operating expenses or selling, general and administrative expense in the historical combined financial statements. The allocations and estimates in such historical financial statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. See Note 1, "Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation", Note 19, "Related Party Transactions" to the audited combined financial statements included elsewhere in this Information Statement for further information on the allocation of corporate costs.

We expect to experience changes in our ongoing cost structure when we become an independent, publicly-traded company. Our historical combined financial statements include allocations of certain corporate expenses to MSG Entertainment, including certain public company costs incurred as a combined entity, of $73,967 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and $161,189 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Following the Distribution, the Company will bear substantially all corporate overhead and support costs, including amounts previously allocated to MSG Entertainment. The Company will continue to provide support services to MSG Entertainment pursuant to the TSA. Payments received by the Company for transition services provided will be presented as a reduction of direct operating expense or selling, general and administrative expense. Refer to note (f) for further details related to the pro forma impact of these adjustments.

As discussed above, the costs to operate our business as an independent public entity are expected to vary from the historical allocations, including corporate and administrative charges from MSG Entertainment for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and for the year ended June 30, 2022 reflected in the accompanying historical

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
annual and interim combined financial statements included elsewhere within this information statement. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are not adjusted for these expenses as many of the costs are estimates based on projections and are not quantifiable at this time. Such costs principally relate to areas that include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• corporate personnel overhead expenses as a result of the Company operating on a stand-alone basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• professional fees associated with internal and external audits including compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, tax, legal and other services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipated executive compensation costs related to existing and new executive management and excluding future
share-based compensation expense; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• stock market listing fees, investor relations costs and fees for preparing and distributing periodic filings with
the SEC.

This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects other adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the pro forma condensed combined results of operations and combined financial position of the Company as of and for the periods indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to change as MSG Entertainment and the Company finalize the terms of the separation and distribution agreement and other agreements and transactions related to the separation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what our financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Company operated historically as a company independent of MSG Entertainment, or if the Distribution had occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also should not be considered representative of our future condensed combined financial condition or combined results of operations.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION** 

(a) Represents Spinco's unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, unaudited
condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and audited combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022.

**Adjustments Related to the Distribution Transaction:** 

(b) Adjustment reflects assets attributed to Spinco in the historical condensed combined balance sheet as of
December 31, 2022 that will not be transferred from MSG Entertainment to Spinco in connection with the Distribution. To reflect this impact, an adjustment to Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $103,746 was recorded. Refer to Note 1.
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation of our annual historical audited combined financial statements for further discussion of the Company's attribution of assets and liabilities.

(c) Adjustment reflects the transfer from MSG Entertainment to Spinco of the loan payable to the Company's
wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, Eden Insurance Company Inc. ("Eden"), which will occur prior to the Distribution. This results in a reduction of Spinco's loan receivable from MSG Entertainment of $52,513. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined statements of operations reflect an adjustment of $1,804 and $2,117 to reflect the removal of interest income related to the aforementioned loan receivable from MSG Entertainment for the six months ended December 31,
2022 and for the year ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

(d) Adjustment reflects the pro forma recapitalization of our equity. As of the Distribution date, MSG
Entertainment's net investment in the Company will be distributed to MSG Entertainment's stockholders through the distribution of approximately 67% of Spinco's common stock with the remaining approximately 33% held by MSG
Entertainment as a retained interest. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are presented for the Company on a standalone basis, the entire balance of historical MSG Entertainment investment has been recorded as common
stock and accumulated deficit, respectively, as a result of this adjustment. The par value of Spinco's stock was recognized as a component of common stock, with the remaining balance recorded as accumulated deficit in the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

Common stock reflects approximately 44.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and approximately 6.9 million shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The number of shares of common stock assumes each MSG Entertainment Class A and Class B common stockholder will receive one Spinco Class A or Class B common share for each MSG Entertainment Class A or Class B common share held on the record date for the Distribution. We expect approximately 33% of our common stock to be owned by MSG Entertainment immediately following the spin-off, representing approximately 1.5 shares of Spinco for every 1 outstanding share of MSG Entertainment.

This adjustment is based on MSG Entertainment's December 31, 2022 issued and outstanding Class A and Class B common shares, although the actual number of shares issued will not be known until the record date for the Distribution. The adjustments to accumulated deficit including assets transferred between MSG Entertainment and Spinco as described in notes (b) and (c) are summarized below:

(e) The income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments are fully offset by the valuation allowance for the year
ended June 30, 2022.

The income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments are recorded at the applicable federal statutory tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2022, net of adjustments to the Company's valuation allowance and the limitation on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. This resulted in an overall tax benefit of $54 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

**Autonomous Entity Adjustments:** 

(f) Reflects the impact of the TSA and related agreements entered into in connection with the Distribution, which
resulted in incremental corporate and administrative costs not included in the Company's historical combined financial statements.

Following the Distribution, the Company will bear substantially all corporate overhead and support costs, including amounts previously charged back to MSG Entertainment. The Company will continue to provide support services to MSG Entertainment pursuant to the TSA. Payments received by the Company for transition services provided will be presented as a reduction of direct operating expenses or selling, general, and administrative expenses. The adjustment was derived by comparing contractual payments required by the TSA and related agreements to amounts historically allocated by the Company to MSG Entertainment on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of certain measures of the Company or MSG Entertainment in the Company's historical combined financial statements.

(g) Adjustment reflects the effect of the Employee Matters Agreement, which entitles the Company to receive
reimbursement for services provided to MSG Entertainment prior to the Distribution. An adjustment of $6,145 was recorded to recognize a Net receivable balance from MSG Entertainment to the Company in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

(h) The income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments are fully offset by the valuation allowance for the year
ended June 30, 2022.

The income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments are recorded at the applicable federal statutory tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2022, net of adjustments to the Company's valuation allowance and the limitation on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. This resulted in an overall tax benefit of $697 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

**Earnings (Loss) Per Share:** 

(i) Pro forma earnings per share and pro forma weighted-average basic shares outstanding are based on the
weighted-average number of shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock outstanding of 51.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 51.1 million during the
year ended June 30, 2022. Spinco's weighted average shares outstanding assumes a distribution ratio of one share of our common stock for each share of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common
Stock held on the record date of the Distribution for the approximately 67% to be distributed to shareholders. In addition, the approximately 33% interest in the outstanding shares of our common stock that will be owned by MSG Entertainment at the
time of the spin-off is reflected in the weighted-average share counts presented herein. As a result, the Company's pro forma weighted-average basic shares outstanding, after giving effect to the
Distribution and the approximately 33% retained interest held by MSG Entertainment, represents approximately 1.5 shares of Spinco for every 1 outstanding share of MSG Entertainment.

Pro forma diluted weighted-average shares outstanding reflect potential dilution from the issuance of Spinco common shares from MSG Entertainment equity plans, giving effect to the distribution ratio and conversion

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of certain MSG Entertainment equity awards into Spinco equity awards. Potentially dilutive shares for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022 are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. While the actual impact on a go-forward basis will depend on various factors, including employees who may change employment from one company to another, we believe the estimate provided yields a reasonable approximation of the dilutive impact of MSG Entertainment equity plans. We expect that the actual amounts will differ from these estimates.

**Introduction** 

This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's combined financial statements as of December 31, 2022 (unaudited) and June 30, 2022, and for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited) and footnotes thereto ("Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements") and the Company's combined financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the three years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020 and footnotes thereto ("Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements") included elsewhere in this information statement to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. The information included in this MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the financial data set forth under the pro forma condensed combined financial information. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" for further details. The Company reports on a fiscal year basis ending on June 30<sup>th</sup> ("Fiscal Year"). In this MD&A, the years ended on June 30, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are referred to as "Fiscal Year 2023", "Fiscal Year 2022", "Fiscal Year 2021", and "Fiscal Year 2020", respectively.

Our MD&A is organized as follows:

*Proposed Distribution and Basis of Presentation*. This section provides a general description of the proposed spin-off that would separate the traditional live entertainment business from the MSG Sphere, MSG Networks, and Tao Group Hospitality businesses of MSG Entertainment.

*Business Overview.* This section provides a general description of our business, as well as other matters that we believe are important in understanding our results of operations and financial condition and in anticipating future trends.

*Results of Operations.* This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for Fiscal Years 2022, 2021, and 2020 on a combined basis.

The discussion of our financial condition and liquidity includes summaries of our primary sources of liquidity, our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements that existed at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

*Seasonality of Our Business.* This section discusses the seasonal performance of our business.

*Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Critical Accounting Estimates.* This section cross-references a discussion of accounting policies considered to be important to our financial condition and results of operations and which require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application*.* In addition, all of our significant accounting policies, including our critical accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements, are discussed in the notes to our combined financial statements included elsewhere in this information statement.

**Proposed Distribution and Basis of Presentation** 

On December 6, 2022, the board of directors of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. ("MSG Entertainment") authorized MSG Entertainment management to explore a potential tax-free spin-off of the traditional live entertainment business from the MSG Sphere, MSG Networks, and Tao Group Hospitality businesses, and approved the filing of a Form 10 registration statement and amendments thereto.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
MSGE Spinco, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 15, 2022 to be the company to hold the traditional live entertainment business of MSG Entertainment. The spin-off is expected to be completed through a tax-free pro rata distribution of approximately 67% of the common stock of the Company to MSG Entertainment stockholders (the "Distribution"). The remaining approximately 33% economic interest in the Company would be retained by MSG Entertainment, subject to completion of the Distribution. MSG Entertainment is required by applicable tax rules to dispose of the retained interest within a fixed period of time, which may occur through a series of steps including sales, exchange offers or pro rata distributions. MSG Entertainment expects to dispose of such retained shares within one year of the date of the Distribution, subject to market conditions.

Completion of the Distribution is subject to various conditions, including final approval by the board of directors of MSG Entertainment, receipt of a tax opinion from counsel and the filing and effectiveness of the registration statement with the SEC.

The combined financial statements of the Company were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of MSG Entertainment. These financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1-B, *Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity*. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in this MD&A are to the *FASB Accounting Standards Codification,* also referred to as "ASC."

Historically, separate financial statements have not been prepared for the Company and it has not operated as a stand-alone business from MSG Entertainment. The combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by MSG Entertainment or by other MSG Entertainment subsidiaries but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. The combined financial statements are presented as if the Company's businesses had been combined for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities in the combined financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis, as immediately prior to the Distribution of all of the assets and liabilities presented are wholly owned by MSG Entertainment and are being transferred to the Company at a carry-over basis.

Fiscal Year 2020 includes additional carve-out allocations as the combined financial statements for the period from July 1, 2019 to April 17, 2020 were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of MSG Sports. This was a result of a distribution of all the outstanding common stock of MSG Entertainment to MSG Sports stockholders (referred herein as the "2020 Entertainment Distribution").

All significant intracompany accounts and balances within the Company's combined businesses have been eliminated. Certain historical intercompany transactions between MSG Entertainment and the Company have been included as components of MSG Entertainment investment in the combined financial statements, as they are to be considered effectively settled upon effectiveness of the Distribution and were not historically settled in cash. Certain other historical intercompany transactions between MSG Entertainment and the Company have been classified as related party, rather than intercompany, in the combined financial statements as they were historically settled in cash. See Note 14, Related Party Transactions to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements, and Note 19, Related Party Transactions to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement for additional information.

The combined statements of operations include allocations for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis and not historically recorded at the business unit level by MSG Entertainment, such as expenses related to executive management, finance, legal, human resources, government affairs, and information technology among others. As part of the Distribution, certain corporate and operational support functions are

being transferred to Spinco and therefore, charges were reflected in order to properly burden all business units comprising MSG Entertainment's historical operations. These expenses have been allocated to MSG Entertainment on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro-rata basis of combined assets, headcount or other measures of Spinco or MSG Entertainment, which is recorded as a reduction of either direct operating expenses or selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expense. See Note 14, Related Party Transactions to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements, and Note 19, Related Party Transactions to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement for additional information.

Management believes the assumptions underlying the combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating general corporate expenses, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Company and may not reflect its combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a stand-alone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. The Company is unable to quantify the amounts that it would have recorded during the historical periods on a stand-alone basis as it is not practicable to do so. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information — Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information", Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements, and Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements included elsewhere within this information statement for additional information.

**Business Overview** 

We are a live entertainment company comprised of iconic venues and marquee entertainment content. Utilizing the Company's powerful brands and live entertainment expertise, the Company delivers unique experiences that set the standard for excellence and innovation while forging deep connections with diverse and passionate audiences.

We manage our business through one reportable segment.

All of the Company's revenues and assets are attributed to or located in the United States and are primarily concentrated in the New York City metropolitan area.

*Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business* 

The Company's operations and operating results were materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (including COVID-19 variants) and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues during Fiscal Years 2020, 2021 and 2022. For the majority of Fiscal Year 2021, substantially all of our business operations were suspended. Fiscal Year 2022 was also impacted by the pandemic, with fewer ticketed events at our venues in the first half of the fiscal year as compared with Fiscal Year 2019 (the last full fiscal year not impacted by COVID-19) due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and an increase in COVID-19 cases due to a new variant, which resulted in a number of events at our venues being cancelled or postponed in the fiscal second and third quarters.

The Company's operations and operating results were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the six months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year period, which was impacted by fewer ticketed events at our venues due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and the postponement or cancellation of select events (including the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*) as a result of an increase in COVID-19 cases during the fiscal second quarter.

As a result of government-mandated assembly limitations and closures, all of our venues were closed beginning in March 2020. Use of The Garden resumed for Knicks and Rangers home games without fans in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively, and was available at 10% seating capacity from February through May 2021 subject to certain safety protocols and social distancing. Beginning in May 2021, all of our New York venues were permitted to host guests at full capacity, subject to certain restrictions, and effective June 2021, The Chicago Theatre was permitted to host events without restrictions. Guests of our Chicago and New York venues were also subject to certain vaccination requirements until February and March 2022, respectively. Our venues no longer require guests to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination before entering (although specific performers may require enhanced protocols).

For Fiscal Year 2021, the majority of ticketed events at our venues were postponed or cancelled. For Fiscal Year 2022 and as of the date of this filing, live events have been permitted to be held at all of our venues and we are continuing to host and book new events. As a result of an increase in cases of a COVID-19 variant, select bookings were postponed or cancelled at our venues in the second and third quarters of Fiscal Year 2022. Variants of COVID-19 that arise in the future may result in additional postponements or cancellations of bookings at our venues.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations also included the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular* and the cancellation of the 2020 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*.

The Company has long-term Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that require the Knicks and Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. As discussed above, capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements were in place for the entirety of the Knicks and Rangers 2020-21 regular seasons, which materially impacted the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2021. On July 1, 2021, the Knicks and Rangers began paying the full amounts provided for under their respective Arena License Agreements. The Knicks and the Rangers each completed their 2021-2022 82-game regular seasons, with the Rangers advancing to the playoffs.

It is unclear to what extent COVID-19 concerns, including with respect to new variants, could result in new government or league-mandated capacity restrictions or vaccination/mask requirements or impact the use of and/or demand for our venues, demand for our sponsorship and advertising assets, deter our employees and vendors from working at our venues (which may lead to difficulties in staffing) or otherwise materially impact our operations.

For more information about the risks to the Company as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operating results, see "Risk Factors" included elsewhere in this information statement for further details.

**Description of Our Business** 

The Company produces, presents and hosts live entertainment events, including (i) concerts, (ii) sports events, and (iii) other live events such as family shows, performing arts events and special events, in our diverse collection of venues. The scope of our collection of venues enables us to showcase acts that cover a wide spectrum of genres and popular appeal.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Although we primarily license our venues to third-party promoters for a fee, we also promote or co-promote shows. If we serve as promoters or co-promoters of a show, we have economic risk relating to the event.

The Company also creates, produces and/or presents live productions that are performed in the Company's venues. This includes the *Christmas Spectacular* production, which features the world-famous Rockettes and which has been performed at Radio City Music Hall for 89 years.

The Company also historically owned a controlling interest in BCE, the entertainment production company that owns and operates the Boston Calling Music Festival. The Company disposed of its controlling interest in BCE on December 2, 2022.

***Revenue Sources***

The Company earns revenue from several primary sources: ticket sales to our audiences for live events that we produce or promote/co-promote, license fees for our venues paid by third-party promoters or licensees in connection with events that we do not produce or promote/co-promote, facility and ticketing fees, concessions, sponsorships and signage, suite license fees at The Garden, merchandising and tours at certain of our venues. The amount of revenue and expense recorded by the Company for a given event depends to a significant extent on whether the Company is promoting or co-promoting the event or is licensing a venue to a third party or MSG Sports. See "— Description of Our Business — Revenue Sources — Venue License Fees" below for further discussion of our venue licensing arrangements with MSG Sports.

*Ticket Sales and Suite Licenses* 

For our productions and for entertainment events in our venues that we promote, we recognize revenues from the sale of tickets to our audiences. We sell tickets to the public through our box office, via our websites and ticketing agencies and through group sales. The amount of revenue we earn from ticket sales depends on the number of shows and the mix of events that we promote, the capacity of the venue used, the extent to which we can sell to fully utilize the capacity, and our ticket prices.

The Garden has 21 Event Level suites, 58 Lexus Level suites, 18 Infosys Level suites, the Caesars Sportsbook Lounge, Suite Sixteen and the Hub Loft. Suite licenses at The Garden are generally sold to corporate customers with the majority being multi-year licenses with annual escalators. The Company licenses Suite Sixteen to Tao Group Hospitality in exchange for license fee payments.

Under standard suite licenses, the licensees pay an annual license fee, which varies depending on the location of the suite. The license fee includes, for each seat in the suite, tickets for events at The Garden for which tickets are sold to the general public, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, suite holders separately pay for food and beverage service in their suites at The Garden. Revenues from the sale of suite licenses are shared between the Company and MSG Sports. Revenues for the Company's suite license arrangements are recorded on a gross basis, as the Company is the principal in such transactions and controls the related goods or services until transfer to the customer. MSG Sports' share of the Company's suite license revenue is recognized in the combined statements of operations as a component of direct operating expenses. The revenue sharing expense recognized by the Company for MSG Sports' share of suite license revenue at The Garden is based on a 67.5% allocation to MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements.

*Venue License Fees* 

For entertainment events held at our venues that we do not produce, promote or co-promote, we typically earn revenue from venue license fees charged to the third-party promoter or producer of the event. The amount of license fees we charge varies by venue, as well as by the size of the production and the number of days utilized, among other factors. Our fees typically include both the cost of renting space in our venues and costs for

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
providing event staff, such as front-of-house and back-of-house staff, including stagehands, electricians, laborers, box office staff, ushers and security as well as production services such as staging, lighting and sound.

In connection with the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that, among other things, require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden in exchange for fixed annual license fees scheduled to be paid monthly over the term of the agreement. The Company accounts for these license fees as operating lease revenue given that the Company provides MSG Sports with the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from The Garden during Knicks and Rangers home games. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term, adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Arena License Agreements, which is comprised of non-consecutive periods of use when MSG Sports uses The Garden generally for their professional sports teams' preseason and regular season home games. As such, operating lease revenue is recognized ratably as events occur.

The Arena License Agreements allow for certain reductions in the license fees during periods when The Garden is not available for use due to a force majeure event. As a result of the government-mandated suspension of events at The Garden due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2021, The Garden was not available for use. Capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements were in place for the entirety of the Knicks and Rangers 2020— 21 regular seasons, which materially impacted the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2021. On July 1, 2021, the Knicks and Rangers began paying the full amounts provided for under their respective Arena License Agreements. The Knicks and the Rangers each completed their 2021—2022 82-game regular seasons, with the Rangers advancing to the playoffs.

*Facility and Ticketing Fees* 

For all public and ticketed events held in our venues aside from MSG Sports home games, we also earn additional revenues on substantially all tickets sold, whether we promote/co-promote the event or license the venue to a third party. These revenues are earned in the form of certain fees and assessments, including the facility fees we charge, and vary by venue.

*Concessions* 

We sell food and beverages during substantially all events held at our venues. In addition to concession-style sales of food and beverages, which represent the majority of our concession revenues, we also generate revenue from catering for our suites at The Garden. Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements related to the use of The Garden by MSG Sports, the Company shares with MSG Sports revenues and related expenses associated with sales of food and beverages (including suite catering) during Knicks and Rangers games at The Garden.

Revenue generated from in-venue food and beverage sales at MSG Sports' events is recognized by the Company on a gross basis, with a corresponding revenue sharing expense for MSG Sports' share of such sales recorded within direct operating expense. The Arena License Agreements require the Company to pay 50% of the net proceeds generated from in-venue food and beverage sales to MSG Sports.

*Merchandise* 

We earn revenues from the sale of merchandise related to our proprietary productions and other live entertainment events that take place at our venues. The majority of our merchandise revenues are generated through on-site sales during performances of our productions and other live events. We also generate revenues from the sales of our *Christmas Spectacular* merchandise, such as ornaments and apparel, through traditional retail channels. Revenues associated with *Christmas Spectacular* merchandise are generally recorded on gross basis (as principal). Typically, revenues from our merchandise sales at our non-proprietary events relate to sales

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of merchandise provided by the artist, the producer or promoter of the event and are generally subject to a revenue sharing arrangement and are generally recorded on a net basis (as agent).

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company receives 30% of revenues, net of taxes and credit card fees, recorded on a net basis (agent), from the sale of MSG Sports teams merchandise sold at The Garden.

*Signage and Sponsorship* 

We earn revenues through the sale of signage space and sponsorship rights in connection with our venues, productions and other live entertainment events. Signage revenues generally involve the sale of advertising space at The Garden during entertainment events and otherwise in our venues. We also earn our revenues through the sale of outdoor signage around the Madison Square Garden complex and Penn Station.

Sponsorship agreements may require us to use the name, logos and other trademarks of sponsors in our advertising and in promotions for our venues, productions and other live entertainment events. Sponsorship arrangements may be exclusive within a particular sponsorship category or non-exclusive and generally permit a sponsor to use the name, logos and other trademarks of our productions, events and venues in connection with their own advertising and in promotions in our venues or in the community.

Prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, for sponsorship agreements entered into by the Company or for arrangements that had performance obligations satisfied solely by the Company, revenue was generally recorded on a gross basis as the Company was the principal in such arrangements and controlled the related goods or services until transfer to the customer. MSG Sports' share of the Company's sponsorship and signage revenue was recognized in the combined statements of operations as a component of direct operating expenses. The revenue sharing expense was specifically identified where possible, with the remainder allocated proportionally based upon revenue.

Under the Arena License Agreements, the Company shares certain sponsorship and signage revenues with MSG Sports. Pursuant to these agreements, MSG Sports has the rights to sponsorship and signage revenue that is specific to Knicks and Rangers events. The Company and MSG Sports also entered into sponsorship sales representation agreements, under which the Company has the right and obligation to sell and service sponsorships for the sports teams of MSG Sports, in exchange for a commission.

*Advertising Sales ("Ad Sales") Commission* 

The Company is a party to an advertising sales representation agreement with MSG Networks. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has the exclusive right and obligation to sell advertising availabilities of MSG Networks. The Company is entitled to, and earns, commission revenue on such sales. The expense associated with advertising personnel is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded revenues under the advertising sales representation agreement with MSG Networks of $8,802 and $7,395 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For Fiscal Years 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recognized $20,878, $13,698 and $12,653 of revenues, respectively, under the advertising sales representation agreement with MSG Networks.

***Expenses***

Our principal expenses are payments made to performers of our productions, staging costs and day-of-event costs associated with events, and advertising costs. In addition, our expenses include costs associated with the ownership, lease, maintenance and operation of our venues, along with our corporate and other supporting functions.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Performer Payments* 

Our proprietary productions are performed by talented actors, dancers, singers, musicians and entertainers. In order to attract and retain this talent, we are required to pay our performers an amount that is commensurate with both their abilities and the demand for their services from other entertainment companies. Our productions typically feature ensemble casts (such as the Rockettes), where most of our performers are paid based on a standard "scale," pursuant to collective bargaining agreements we negotiate with the performers' unions. Certain performers, however, have individually negotiated contracts.

*Staging Costs* 

Staging costs for our proprietary events as well as other events that we promote include the costs of sets, lighting, display technologies, special effects, sound and all of the other technical aspects involved in presenting a live entertainment event. These costs vary substantially depending on the nature of the particular show, but tend to be highest for large-scale theatrical productions, such as the *Christmas Spectacular*. For concerts we promote, the performer usually provides a fully produced show. Along with performer salaries, the staging costs associated with a given production are an important factor in the determination of ticket prices.

*Day-of-Event Costs* 

For days in which the Company stages its productions, promotes an event or provides one of our venues to a third-party promoter under a license fee arrangement, the event is charged the variable costs associated with such event, including box office staff, stagehands, ticket takers, ushers, security, and other similar expenses. In situations where we provide our venues to a third-party promoter under a license fee arrangement, day-of-event costs are typically included in the license fees charged to the promoter. Under the Arena License Agreements related to the use of The Garden by MSG Sports, the Company is reimbursed for day-of-event costs (as defined under the Arena License Agreements). The Company records such reimbursements as reductions to direct operating expenses.

*Venue Usage* 

The Company's combined financial statements include expenses associated with the ownership, maintenance and operation of The Garden, which the Company and MSG Sports use in their respective operations. Prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company did not charge rent expense to MSG Sports for use of The Garden. However, for purposes of the Company's combined financial statements, a portion of the historical depreciation expense as well as other non-event related venue operations costs are allocated to MSG Sports, in order to properly burden all business units comprising MSG Sports' historical operations, related to use of The Garden. This allocation is based on event count and revenue, which the Company's management believes is a reasonable allocation methodology. This allocation is reported as a reduction of direct operating expense in the combined statements of operations. This allocation is reflected for the portion of Fiscal Year 2020 prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution.

*Revenue Sharing Expenses* 

As discussed above, MSG Sports' share of the Company's suites licenses, venue signage and certain sponsorship and concessions revenue is reflected within direct operating expense as revenue sharing expenses. For periods prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, such amounts were either specifically identified where possible, or allocated proportionally within the combined financial statements.

*Marketing and Advertising Costs* 

We incur significant costs promoting our productions and other events through various advertising campaigns, including advertising on social and digital platforms, television, outdoor platforms and radio, and in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
newspapers. In light of the intense competition for entertainment events, such expenditures are a necessity to drive interest in our productions and encourage members of the public to purchase tickets to our shows.

*Other Expenses* 

The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of administrative costs, including compensation, professional fees, advertising sales commissions, as well as sales and marketing costs, including non-event related advertising expenses. Operating expenses also include corporate overhead costs and venue operating expenses. Venue operating expenses include the non-event related costs of operating the Company's venues, and include such costs as rent for the Company's leased venues, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and labor related to the overall management of the venues.

**Factors Affecting Results of Operations** 

In addition the discussion under the section " — Business Overview — Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business" above, our operating results are largely dependent on our ability to attract concerts and other events to our venues, revenues under various agreements entered into with MSG Sports, and the continuing popularity of the *Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall.* Certain of these factors in turn depend on the popularity and/or performance of the professional sports teams whose games we host in our venues.

Our Company's future performance is dependent in part on general economic conditions and the effect of these conditions on our customers. Weak economic conditions may lead to lower demand for suite licenses and tickets to our live productions, concerts, family shows and other events, which would also negatively affect concession and merchandise sales, and lower levels of sponsorship and venue signage. These conditions may also affect the number of concerts, family shows and other events that take place in the future. An economic downturn could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

***Factors Affecting Comparability***

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above, each of Fiscal Year 2021 and Fiscal Year 2022 results are not comparable to the prior year and are not indicative of future results.

*<u>Revenues</u>*

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2022 increased $221,170 as compared to the prior year period. The change in revenues was attributable to the following:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Six Months Ended**<br>**December 31, 2022** |  |  |
| | **Six Months Ended**<br>**December 31, 2022** | Increase in event-related revenues, as discussed below | $88214.0 |
|  Increase in revenues from the presentation of the *Christmas Spectacular* | 71414 |  |  |
|  Increase in revenues subject to the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements | 35404 |  |  |
|  Increase in venue-related sponsorship, signage and suite license fee revenues | 16643 |  |  |
|  Increase in arena license fees from MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements | 3968 |  |  |
|  Other net increases | 5527 |  |  |
|  | $221170 |  |  |

---

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the increase in event-related revenues primarily reflects higher revenues from concerts of $88,072. The increase in revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to the return of live events at the Company's venues as compared to limited live events held during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2022 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic). See " — Business Overview — *Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business*" for more information.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The Company had 181 *Christmas Spectacular* performances during this year's holiday season, of which 174 took place in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2023, as compared to 101 performances in the prior year's holiday season (due to the partial cancellation of the 2021 production as a result of an increase in COVID-19 cases), all of which took place in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2022. For this year's holiday season, more than 930,000 tickets were sold, representing an over 25% increase in attendance on a per-show basis as compared to the prior year.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the increase in revenues subject to the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements primarily reflected higher suite license fee revenues and, to a lesser extent, higher food, beverage and merchandise sales at Knicks and Rangers games.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the increase in venue-related sponsorship, signage and suite license fee revenues primarily reflects higher suite license fee revenues, which was mainly due to the return of live events at the Company's venues as compared to limited live events held during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2022 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

*<u>Direct operating expenses</u>*

Direct operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2022 increased $100,029 as compared to the prior year period. The change in direct operating expenses was attributable to the following:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Six Months Ended**<br>**December 31, 2022** |  |  |
| | **Six Months Ended**<br>**December 31, 2022** | Increase in event-related direct operating expenses as discussed below | $47644.0 |

|  Increase in direct operating expenses associated with the Arena License Agreements | 4732 |  |  |
|  Other net increases | 2479 |  |  |
|  | $100029 |  |  |

---

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the increase in event-related direct operating expenses primarily reflects higher direct operating expenses from concerts of $46,422, which was primarily due to the increase in the number of events held at the Company's venues as compared to the prior year period.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the increase in direct operating expenses associated with the sharing of economics with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements primarily reflects the increase in suite license fees and, to a lesser extent, the increase in Knicks' and Rangers' food and beverage sales.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the increase in direct operating expenses associated with the *Christmas Spectacular* production was primarily due to the increase in the number of performances as compared to the prior year period.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the increase in expenses associated with the Arena License Agreements primarily reflects an increase in food and beverage costs associated with the increase in Knicks' and Rangers' food and beverage sales.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*<u>Selling, general and administrative expenses</u>*

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,717, or 2%, to $83,415 as compared to the prior year period. The increase primarily reflects higher advertising and general administrative expenses.

*<u>Gains, net on dispositions</u>*

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded net gains of $4,412 primarily due to the gain on sale of the company's controlling interest in BCE, partially offset by the net loss on the disposal of a corporate aircraft.

*<u>Restructuring Charges</u>*

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded total restructuring charges of $7,359 related to termination benefits provided for a workforce reduction of certain executives and employees as part of the Company's cost reduction program implemented in Fiscal Year 2023. No amounts were recorded as restructuring charges during the comparative prior period.

*<u>Operating income (loss)</u>*

Operating income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was $102,134 as compared to a loss of $15,931 in the prior year period, an improvement of $118,065. The improvement in operating income (loss) was primarily due to an increase in revenues, partially offset by higher direct operating expenses, as discussed above.

*<u>Interest income</u>*

Interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 decreased $282 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower related party interest of $1,660 as a result of MSG Entertainment's repayment of the TAO Subordinated Credit Agreement (defined below) on June 9, 2022, partially offset by higher interest income of $1,378 due to higher rates and average investment balances.

*<u>Interest expense</u>*

Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2022 decreased $2,163 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower amortization of deferred financing costs of $1,774 as a result of the extinguishment of MSG National Properties' prior term loan facility in June 2022.

*<u>Other expense, net</u>*

Other expense, net for the six months ended December 31, 2022 decreased $17,961 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower unrealized losses of approximately $21,300 associated with the Company's investments in DraftKings Inc., partially offset by the realized gain of $1,489 on shares sold of DraftKings.

*<u>Income tax (expense) benefit</u>*

Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2022 of $731 reflected an effective income tax rate of 1% and differs from the income tax expense derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax income primarily due to (i) tax expense related to state and local taxes of $11,769, (ii) tax expense of $5,103 related to share-based payment awards and (iii) tax expense of $1,993 related to nondeductible officers' compensation, partially offset by (i) tax benefit of $33,001 resulting from a decrease in the valuation allowance and (ii) a tax benefit of $2,066 related to a federal income tax refund.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2021 of nil reflected an effective income tax rate of 0% and differs from income tax benefit derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax loss primarily due to (i) tax expense of $13,741 resulting from an increase in the valuation allowance and (ii) tax expense of $3,527 related to nondeductible officers' compensation, partially offset by state income tax benefit of $4,926.

*<u>Adjusted operating income (loss) ("AOI")</u>*

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the key financial measure is adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure. We define adjusted income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the impact of non-cash straight-line leasing revenue associated with
the Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) share-based compensation expense,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) restructuring charges or credits,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) merger and acquisition-related costs, including litigation expenses,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (which was established in November 2021).

The Company believes that given the length of the Arena License Agreements and resulting magnitude of the difference in leasing revenue recognized and cash revenue received, the exclusion of non-cash leasing revenue provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance. Management believes that this adjustment is beneficial for other incremental reasons as well. This adjustment provides senior management, investors and analysts with important information regarding a long-term related party agreement with MSG Sports. In addition, this adjustment is included under the Company's debt covenant compliance calculations and is a component of the performance measures used to evaluate, and compensate, senior management of the Company. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the Company's business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. The Company eliminates merger and acquisition-related costs, when applicable, because the Company does not consider such costs to be indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the Company as they result from an event that is of a non-recurring nature, thereby enhancing comparability. In addition, management believes that the exclusion of gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which were included for the first time in Fiscal Year 2022, provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance given that, in accordance with GAAP, gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan are recognized in Operating (income) loss whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under the MSG Entertainment's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which are equal to and therefore fully offset the gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities, are recognized in Other income (expense), net, which is not reflected in Operating income (loss).

The Company believes AOI is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a combined basis. AOI and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze the Company's performance. The Company uses revenues and AOI measures as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators.

AOI should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Since AOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. The Company has presented the components that reconcile operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to AOI.

The following is a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period:

*<sup>(a)</sup>* *This adjustment represents the non-cash portion of operating lease revenue related to the Company's Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports. Pursuant to GAAP, recognition of operating lease revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement based upon the value of total future payments under the arrangement. As a result, operating lease revenue is comprised of a contractual cash component plus or minus a non-cash component for each period presented. Operating income on a GAAP basis includes lease income of (i) $20,220 and $17,293 of revenue collected in cash for the six months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively and (ii) a non-cash portion of $12,929 and $11,889 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.* 

*<u>Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable and nonredeemable noncontrolling interests</u>*

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $553 of net loss attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests as compared to $367 of net loss attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests for the six months ended December 31, 2021. These amounts represent the share of net loss of BCE that is not attributable to the Company.

The Company's operating results were materially impacted during Fiscal Years 2022 and 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic and government actions taken in response. See "— Business Overview — Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business" for more information.

*<u>Revenues</u>*

Revenues increased $571,678 from $81,812 for Fiscal Year 2021 to $653,490 for Fiscal Year 2022. The net increase was attributable to the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Increase in event-related revenues, as discussed below | $239574.0 |
|  Increase in revenues from signage, suite licenses, and sales of food, beverage and merchandise subject to revenue or profit sharing with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements | 130238.0 |
|  Increase in revenues from the shortened *Christmas Spectacular* 2021 holiday season run as compared to the cancellation of the 2020 production in Fiscal Year 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | 55454.0 |
|  Increase in arena license fees from MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, as discussed below | 46727.0 |
|  Increase in suite license fee revenues, due to the return of live events at the Company's venues during Fiscal Year 2022 as compared to limited live events held in Fiscal Year 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic | 34904.0 |
|  Increase in venue-related signage and sponsorship revenues primarily due to the return of live events at the Company's venues during Fiscal Year 2022 as compared to limited live events held in Fiscal Year 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic | 29940.0 |
|  Increase in revenues from the Boston Calling Music Festival as compared to the cancellation of the festival in Fiscal Year 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | 18313.0 |
|  Other net increases | 16528.0 |
|  | $571678.0 |

---

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The increase in event-related revenues reflects (i) higher revenues from concerts of $179,892 during Fiscal Year 2022 and (ii) higher revenues from live entertainment and other sporting events of $59,682 during Fiscal Year 2022. These increases were due to the return of live events to the Company's venues during Fiscal Year 2022 as compared to limited live events held in Fiscal Year 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See "— Business Overview — Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business" for more information.

In Fiscal Year 2022, the Knicks and Rangers played a combined 98 pre-season, regular season, and post-season games at The Garden without any capacity restrictions. As a result, the Company recorded $68,072 in arena license fees under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2022. In Fiscal Year 2021, capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements were in place for the entirety of the Knicks and Rangers 2020-21 regular seasons, which materially impacted the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements during Fiscal Year 2021.

*<u>Direct operating expenses</u>*

Direct operating expenses increased $321,065 from $96,236 for Fiscal Year 2021 to $417,301 for Fiscal Year 2022. The net increase was attributable to the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Increase in event-related direct operating expenses, as discussed below | $125931.0 |
|  Increase in direct operating expenses associated with revenue or profit sharing expense from signage, suite licenses and sales of food, beverage and merchandise with MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements | 94226.0 |
|  Increase in direct operating expenses from the shortened *Christmas Spectacular* 2021 holiday season run as compared to the cancellation of the 2020 production in Fiscal Year 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | 39029.0 |
|  Increase in direct operating expenses associated with the Boston Calling Music Festival as compared to the cancellation of the festival in Fiscal Year 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | 19003.0 |
|  Increase in direct operating expenses associated with the Arena License Agreements | 17645.0 |
|  Increase in direct operating expenses associated with venue operating costs | 15445.0 |
|  Other net increases | 9786.0 |
|  | $321065.0 |

---

For Fiscal Year 2022, the increase in event-related direct operating expenses reflects (i) higher direct operating expenses from concerts of $91,938, and (ii) higher direct operating expenses from live entertainment and other sporting events of $33,993, primarily due to the return of events to the Company's venues during Fiscal Year 2022 as compared to limited live events in Fiscal Year 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

*<u>Selling, general and administrative expenses</u>*

SG&A expenses for Fiscal Year 2022 increased $30,535, or 22%, to $167,132 as compared to Fiscal Year 2021 primarily due to a net increase in employee compensation and related benefits, which included the impact of severance-related costs attributable to separation agreements in Fiscal Year 2022.

*<u>Depreciation and amortization</u>*

Depreciation and amortization for Fiscal Year 2022 decreased $2,042, or 3%, to $69,534 as compared to Fiscal Year 2021 primarily due to certain assets in The Garden being fully depreciated and amortized.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*<u>Restructuring charges</u>*

Restructuring charges for Fiscal Year 2022 were $5,171 as compared to $14,691 in Fiscal Year 2021, a decrease of $9,520, or 65%. The Company's operations have been disrupted since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a direct response to this disruption, the Company implemented cost savings initiatives to reduce labor costs. For Fiscal Year 2021, the Company recorded total restructuring charges of $14,691 related to termination benefits provided to employees associated with a full-time workforce reduction in August 2020 and November 2020. For Fiscal Year 2022, the Company underwent additional organizational changes to further streamline operations related to the elimination of certain executive and management level functions, resulting in additional restructuring charges but of a lesser amount.

*<u>Operating loss</u>*

Operating loss for Fiscal Year 2022 improved $231,640 to $5,648 as compared to an operating loss of $237,288 in Fiscal Year 2021. The improvement in operating loss was primarily due to the increase in revenues, and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in restructuring charges, offset by higher direct operating expenses and SG&A expenses.

*<u>Interest expense, net</u>*

Interest expense, net for Fiscal Year 2022 was $45,960 as compared to $27,293 in Fiscal Year 2021, an increase of $18,667, or 68%. The increase in net interest expense in Fiscal Year 2022 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $18,787 on the MSG National Properties, LLC facilities as a result of the balance of MSG National Properties' prior term loan facility being outstanding for almost the full year of Fiscal Year 2022 (refinanced on June 30, 2022) compared to a partial year for Fiscal Year 2021, given the Company entered into the prior term loan facility on November 12, 2020. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in interest income from a related party.

*<u>Loss on extinguishment of debt</u>*

For Fiscal Year 2022, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $35,629 in connection with the extinguishment of MSG National Properties' prior term loan facility.

*<u>Other income (expense), net</u>*

For Fiscal Year 2022, net other expense was $49,033 as compared to net other income of $50,622 for Fiscal Year 2021, a decrease of $99,655. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses of $62,155 and $41,192 associated with the investments in DraftKings Inc. ("DraftKings") and Townsquare Media, Inc. ("Townsquare"), respectively, partially offset by (i) the absence of a $2,327 realized loss on the Company's sale of investments in DraftKings in Fiscal Year 2021 and (ii) a $1,073 decrease in other pension costs.

*<u>Income taxes</u>*

Income tax benefit for Fiscal Year 2022 of $70 differs from income tax benefit derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax loss primarily due to (i) an increase in the valuation allowance of $31,679 and (ii) tax expense of $8,125 related to nondeductible officers' compensation, partially offset by state income tax benefit of $12,141.

Income tax expense for Fiscal Year 2021 of $5,349 differs from income tax benefit derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax loss primarily due to (i) an increase in the valuation allowance of $70,501 and (ii) tax expense of $5,209 related to nondeductible officers' compensation, partially offset by (i) state income tax benefit of $22,882 and (ii) tax benefit of $2,545 related to a change in the estimated applicable tax rate used to determine deferred taxes.

*NM (not meaningful) — Absolute percentages greater than 200% and comparisons from positive to negative values or to zero values are considered not meaningful.* 

*<u>Revenues</u>*

Revenues for Fiscal Year 2021 decreased $502,789, or 86%, to $81,812 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020. The net decrease was attributable to the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Decrease in event-related revenues from concerts, as discussed below | $(212899) |
|  Decrease in revenues from the *Christmas Spectacular* due to the cancellation of the 2020 holiday season production as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | (128488) |
|  Decrease in suite license fee revenues due to the government-mandated closures and restrictions on the use of our venues beginning in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | (85900) |
|  Decrease in venue-related signage and sponsorship revenues as well as the impact of government-mandated closures and restrictions on the use of our venues beginning in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | (65196) |
|  Absence of revenues from the Forum due to its disposition in May 2020 | (45719) |
|  Increase in arena license fees from MSG Sports pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, as discussed below | 21345 |
|  Increase in revenues from sponsorship sales and service representation agreements with MSG Sports, as discussed below | 11280 |
|  Other net increases | 2788 |
|  | $(502789) |

---

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The decrease in event-related revenues reflects (i) lower revenues from concerts of $158,580 during Fiscal Year 2021 and (ii) lower revenues from live entertainment and other sporting events of $54,319 during Fiscal Year 2021. Both of these declines were due to government-mandated closures and restrictions on the use of our venues beginning in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. See "— Business Overview — Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business " for more information.

The arena license fee revenues from MSG Sports in Fiscal Year 2021 were due to The Garden reopening for the Knicks games in December 2020 and the Rangers games in January 2021 with limited or no fans. There were no arena license fees recorded prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution.

The increase in revenues from the Company's sponsorship sales and service representation agreements and Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports reflects the impact of entering into these agreements in connection with, and effective as of, the 2020 Entertainment Distribution.

*<u>Direct operating expenses</u>*

Direct operating expenses for Fiscal Year 2021 decreased $284,290, or 75%, to $96,236 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020. The net decrease was attributable to the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Decrease in event-related direct operating expenses from (i) concerts of $85,449 during Fiscal Year 2021 and (ii) live entertainment and other sporting events of $39,057, both due to government-mandated closures and restrictions on the use of our venues beginning in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | $(124506) |
|  Decrease in direct operating expenses associated with suite license operations primarily due to the impact of lower revenue sharing expenses with MSG Sports corresponding to the lower suite revenue during Fiscal Year 2020 due to government-mandated closures and restrictions on the use of our venues beginning in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | (58096) |
|  Decrease in direct operating expenses associated with venue-related signage and sponsorship primarily due to the impact of lower revenue sharing expense with MSG Sports of $52,052 | (53392) |
|  Decrease in direct operating expenses associated with the *Christmas Spectacular* due to the cancellation of the 2020 holiday season production as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic | (50714) |
|  Decrease in direct operating expenses associated with the Forum due to its disposition in May 2020 | (26576) |
|  Other net increases, primarily due to the absence of carve-out allocations to MSG Sports related to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution | 28994 |
|  | $(284290) |

---

*<u>Selling, general and administrative expenses</u>*

SG&A expenses for Fiscal Year 2021 decreased $1,338, or 1%, to $136,597 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a net decrease in employee compensation and related benefits as a result of the Company's full-time workforce reduction in August 2020 as well as other net decreases in professional fees. The decrease was partially offset by an incremental expense for share-based compensation associated with the cancellation of certain awards pursuant to a settlement agreement.

*<u>Depreciation and amortization</u>*

Depreciation and amortization for Fiscal Year 2021 decreased $10,015, or 12%, to $71,576 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020 primarily due to certain assets in The Garden being fully depreciated and amortized, resulting in a decrease of $3,013, and lower depreciation and amortization of $5,827 associated with the Forum as the recording of depreciation ceased on March 24, 2020 when the venue was classified as assets held for sale.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*<u>Gain on disposal of assets held for sale and associated settlements</u>*

In May 2020, the Company sold the Forum for cash consideration in the amount of $400,000 (including the settlement of related litigation). In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $240,783 in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2020, which included $140,495 attributable to the Forum associated settlement.

*<u>Restructuring charges</u>*

The Company's operations were disrupted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and those disruptions have continued. As a direct response to this disruption, in Fiscal Year 2021, the Company implemented cost savings initiatives in order to streamline operations and preserve liquidity. For Fiscal Year 2021, the Company recorded total restructuring charges of $14,691 related to termination benefits provided to employees associated with a full-time workforce reduction in August 2020 and November 2020. No restructuring charges were incurred in Fiscal Year 2020.

*<u>Operating income (loss)</u>*

Operating income for Fiscal Year 2021 decreased $462,620 to an operating loss of $237,288 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020 primarily due to (i) the decrease in revenues, (ii) the gain on disposal of the Forum in Inglewood and associated settlement recorded in Fiscal Year 2020, and (iii) restructuring charges incurred in Fiscal Year 2021 as a response to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by the decrease in direct operating expenses.

*<u>Interest expense, net</u>*

Net interest expense for Fiscal Year 2021 increased $35,673 to $27,293 as compared to net interest income of $8,380 for Fiscal Year 2020. The increase was primarily due to (i) higher interest expense in Fiscal Year 2021 associated with the National Properties Term Loan Facility (as defined below) of $33,481, which was entered into in November 2020, (ii) lower interest income of $2,363 mainly due to the absence of $1,400 of interest income earned on a loan extended to Azoff Music as compared to Fiscal Year 2020 since the loan was repaid during the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2020, and (iii) lower interest income of $910 earned on the Eden Loan Agreement, as defined below.

*<u>Other income, net</u>*

Other income, net for Fiscal Year 2021 increased by $13,493 to $50,622 as compared to $37,129 for Fiscal Year 2020. The increase was primarily due to the net realized and unrealized gains of $13,550 recognized on the Company's investments in DraftKings and Townsquare.

*<u>Income taxes</u>*

Income tax expense for Fiscal Year 2021 of $5,349 differs from income tax benefit derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax loss primarily due to (i) an increase in the valuation allowance of $70,501 and (ii) tax expense of $5,209 related to nondeductible officers' compensation, offset partially by (i) state income tax benefit of $22,882 and (ii) tax benefit of $2,545 related to a change in the estimated applicable tax rate used to determine deferred taxes.

Income tax expense for Fiscal Year 2020 of $100,182 differs from income tax expense derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax income primarily due to (i) state income tax expense of $33,345, (ii) tax expense of $7,120 related to nondeductible transaction costs associated with the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, and (iii) tax expense of $4,407 related to nondeductible officers' compensation, partially offset by an excess tax benefit related to share-based payment awards of $2,322.

*<sup>(a)</sup>* *This adjustment represents the non-cash portion of operating lease revenue related to the Company's Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports. Pursuant to GAAP, recognition of operating lease revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement based upon the value of total future payments under the arrangement. As a result, operating lease revenue is comprised of a contractual cash component plus or minus a non-cash component for each period presented. Operating income on a GAAP basis includes lease income of (i) $8,319 and nil collected in cash for Fiscal Years 2021 and 2020, respectively, and (ii) a non-cash portion of $13,026 and nil for Fiscal Years 2021 and 2020, respectively.* 

*<u>Net loss attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests</u>* 

For Fiscal Year 2021, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests of $694 as compared to $1,071 for Fiscal Year 2020. These amounts represent the share of net loss of BCE that is not attributable to the Company.

***Overview***

*Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic* 

The Company's operations and operating results were materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (including COVID-19 variants) and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues during Fiscal Years 2020, 2021 and 2022. For the majority of Fiscal Year 2021, substantially all of our business operations were suspended. Fiscal Year 2022 was also impacted by the pandemic, with fewer ticketed events at our venues in the first half of the fiscal year as compared with Fiscal Year 2019 (the last full fiscal year not impacted by COVID-19) due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and an increase in COVID-19 cases due to a new variant, which resulted in a number of events at our venues being cancelled or postponed in the fiscal second and third quarters.

The Company's operations and operating results were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the six months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year period, which was impacted by fewer ticketed events at our venues due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and the postponement or cancellation of select events (including the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*) as a result of an increase in COVID-19 cases during the fiscal second quarter.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
As a result of government-mandated assembly limitations and closures, all of our venues were closed beginning in March 2020. Use of The Garden resumed for Knicks and Rangers home games without fans in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively, and was available at 10% seating capacity from February through May 2021 subject to certain safety protocols and social distancing. Beginning in May 2021, all of our New York venues were permitted to host guests at full capacity, subject to certain restrictions, and effective June 2021, The Chicago Theatre was permitted to host events without restrictions. Guests of our Chicago and New York venues were also subject to certain vaccination requirements until February and March 2022, respectively. As a result, our venues no longer require guests to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination before entering (although specific performers may require enhanced protocols).

For Fiscal Year 2021, the majority of ticketed events at our venues were postponed or cancelled. For Fiscal Year 2022 and as of the date of this filing, live events have been permitted to be held at all of our venues and we are continuing to host and book new events. As a result of an increase in cases of a COVID-19 variant, select bookings were postponed or cancelled at our venues in the second and third quarters of Fiscal Year 2022. Variants of COVID-19 that arise in the future may result in additional postponements or cancellations of bookings at our venues.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations also included the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular* and the cancellation of the 2020 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*.

The Company has long-term Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that require the Knicks and Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. As discussed above, capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements were in place for the entirety of the Knicks and Rangers 2020-21 regular seasons, which materially impacted the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2021. On July 1, 2021, the Knicks and Rangers began paying the full amounts provided for under their respective Arena License Agreements. The Knicks and the Rangers each completed their 2021-2022 82-game regular seasons, with the Rangers advancing to the playoffs.

It is unclear to what extent COVID-19 concerns, including with respect to new variants, could result in new government or league-mandated capacity restrictions or vaccination/mask requirements or impact the use of and/or demand for our venues, demand for our sponsorship and advertising assets, deter our employees and vendors from working at our venues (which may lead to difficulties in staffing) or otherwise materially impact our operations.

For more information about the risks to the Company as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operating results, see "Risk Factors" included in this information statement for further details.

***Sources of Liquidity***

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from the operations of our businesses and available borrowing capacity under the National Properties Credit Agreement (as defined below). Our principal uses of cash include working capital-related items (including funding our operations), capital spending, and debt service. Our decisions as to the use of our available liquidity will be based upon the ongoing review of the funding needs of the business, the optimal allocation of cash resources, and the timing of cash flow generation. To the extent that we desire to access alternative sources of funding through the capital and credit markets, challenging U.S. and global economic and market conditions could adversely impact our ability to do so at that time.

We regularly monitor and assess our ability to meet our net funding and investing requirements. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance was $153,496 as compared to $58,102 as of June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022 the Company's restricted cash and cash equivalents

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
balance was $250 as compared to $4,471 as of June 30, 2022. The principal balance of the Company's total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022 was $679,100, compared to $679,737 as of June 30, 2022. We believe we have sufficient liquidity from cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and future cash flows from operations (including savings generated by the Company's cost reduction program) to fund our operations, and service the National Properties Credit Agreement for the foreseeable future.

See Note 10, Credit Facilities to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements, and Note 14, Credit Facilities to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement for a discussion of the National Properties Facilities.

***Financing Agreements***

*National Properties Credit Facilities* 

On June 30, 2022, MSG National Properties, LLC ("MSG National Properties"), MSG Entertainment Group, LLC ("MSG Entertainment Group") and certain subsidiaries of MSG National Properties entered into a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders and L/C issuers party thereto (the "National Properties Credit Agreement"), providing for a five-year, $650,000 senior secured term loan facility (the "National Properties Term Loan Facility") and a five-year, $100,000 revolving credit facility (the "National Properties Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the National Properties Term Loan Facility, the "National Properties Facilities").

Up to $25,000 of the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. As of December 31, 2022, outstanding letters of credit were $7,860 and the remaining balance available under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility was $63,040. As of June 30, 2022, outstanding letters of credit were $6,631 and the remaining balance available under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility was $70,900.

The principal obligations under the National Properties Term Loan Facility amortizes quarterly in accordance with its terms beginning March 31, 2023 through March 31, 2027, with the balance due at the maturity of the facility on June 30, 2027. The principal obligations under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility are due at the maturity of the facility. Under certain circumstances, MSG National Properties is required to make mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding, including prepayments in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of certain sales of assets or casualty insurance and/or condemnation recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment, repair or replacement rights), subject to certain exceptions.

The National Properties Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a specified minimum liquidity level, a specified minimum debt service coverage ratio and specified maximum total leverage ratio. The minimum liquidity level is set at $50,000, and is tested based on the level of average daily liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and available revolving commitments, over the last month of each quarter over the life of the National Properties Facilities. The debt service coverage ratio covenant began testing in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and is set at a ratio of 2:1 before stepping up to 2.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024. The leverage ratio covenant begins testing in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023. It is tested based on the ratio of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries' consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted operating income, with an initial maximum ratio of 6:1, stepping down to 5.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and 4.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants of the National Properties Credit Agreement.

See Note 10, Credit Facilities to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements, and Note 14, Credit Facilities to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement for additional information regarding the National Properties Credit Agreement.

*Loans receivable from MSG Entertainment* 

The Company's captive insurance entity, Eden Insurance Company, Inc. ("Eden"), entered into a loan agreement with MSG Entertainment (the "Eden Loan Agreement"), under which Eden granted MSG Entertainment an unsecured loan bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points with a principal amount not exceeding $60,000. This loan is in the form of a demand promissory note, payable immediately upon order from Eden. As of December 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, Eden had an outstanding loan receivable from MSG Entertainment of $52,513, $56,060 and $57,962, respectively, inclusive of accrued interest. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and Fiscal Year 2022, Eden declared dividends to MSG Entertainment through a reduction of the loan receivable from MSG Entertainment. During the six months ended December 31, 2021 and Fiscal Year 2021, no interest or principal payments were received by Eden and instead the accrued but unpaid interest was added to the outstanding principal amount of the loan. The cash flows related to this loan receivable are reflected as investing activities, as these balances represent amounts loaned by the Company to MSG Entertainment. The Company recorded related party interest income of $1,804, $1,062, $2,117, $1,888 and $2,798 related to the Eden Loan Agreement during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and in Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Note 14, Related Party Transactions to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements, and Note 19, Related Party Transactions to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement for additional information.

*Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility* 

Prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the Distribution, MSG Entertainment Holdings (referred to as the "DDTL Lender") is expected to enter into the DDTL Facility with MSG Entertainment (the "DDTL Borrower"). The DDTL Facility is expected to provide for a $65 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility for the DDTL Borrower. The DDTL Facility will mature and any unused commitments thereunder will expire 18 months after the effective date thereof. Borrowings under the DDTL Facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to either, at the option of the DDTL Borrower, (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin, or (b) Term SOFR plus 0.10%, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is expected to be equal to the applicable margin under the National Properties Facilities plus 1.00% per annum. The DDTL Borrower will also be required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the daily unused commitments under the DDTL Facility at a rate equal to the unused commitment fee rate under the National Properties Facilities plus 0.10% per annum. All interest and commitment fees accruing prior to January 1, 2024 will be payable in kind by capitalizing and adding such interest or fee to the outstanding principal amount of the loans. All interest and commitment fees accruing on and after January 1, 2024 will be payable in cash or by transferring to the DDTL Lender shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as described below. Subject to customary borrowing conditions, the DDTL Facility may be drawn in up to six separate borrowings of $5 million or more. The DDTL facility is prepayable at any time without penalty, and amounts repaid on the DDTL Facility may not be reborrowed. The DDTL Borrower will have the option to make any payments of principal, interest or fees under the DDTL Facility either in the form of cash or by delivering to the DDTL Lender shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. If the DDTL Borrower elects to make any payment in the form of the Company's Class A Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be calculated based on the dollar volume-weighted average price for the Class A Common Stock for the twenty trading days ending on the day on which the DDTL Borrower makes such election. The DDTL Borrower shall only be permitted to use the proceeds of the DDTL Facility (i) for funding costs associated with the MSG Sphere initiative and (ii) in connection with refinancing of the indebtedness under that certain amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of October 11, 2019, among MSGN Holdings, L.P., as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time (the "MSG Networks Credit Facility").

*<u>Operating Activities</u>*

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $11,159 to $69,336 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in net income, partially offset by (i) changes in working capital assets and liabilities, which included a decrease in accounts payable, accrued and other current and non-current liabilities, a decrease in deferred revenue associated with customers' advanced payments, a decrease in accounts receivable, net, and an increase in related party receivables, net of payables, (ii) a decrease in net unrealized loss on equity investments with readily determinable fair value, (iii) lower share-based compensation expense, and (iv) gains, net on dispositions recognized in the current year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for Fiscal Year 2022 increased by $243,469 to $95,351 as compared to Fiscal Year 2021 primarily due to higher positive adjustments in reconciling net income (loss) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which include (i) the add back of net unrealized loss on equity investments with readily determinable fair value in Fiscal Year 2022 compared to an unrealized gain in Fiscal Year 2021, (ii) the add back of the loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the extinguishment of MSG National Properties' prior term loan facility in Fiscal Year 2022, and (iii) a lower net loss in Fiscal Year 2022 compared to Fiscal Year 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities for Fiscal Year 2021 decreased by $179,646 to net cash used in operating activities of $148,118 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020 primarily due to (i) a net loss in Fiscal Year 2021 compared to net income in Fiscal Year 2020 and (ii) a higher net unrealized gain on equity investments with readily determinable fair value in Fiscal Year 2021 compared to Fiscal Year 2020, partially offset by the gain on the sale of the Forum in Fiscal Year 2020.

*<u>Investing Activities</u>*

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $25,181 to $22,390 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to (i) proceeds received from the dispositions of BCE and the corporate aircraft and (ii) proceeds received from the sale of investments, partially offset by the absence of proceeds received from a related party loan receivable in the current year period.

Net cash provided by investing activities for Fiscal Year 2022 increased by $55,779 to $45,440 as compared to Fiscal Year 2021 primarily due to higher proceeds received from related party loans in Fiscal Year 2022 and lower amounts loaned to a related party in Fiscal Year 2022, partially offset by the absence of proceeds from sale of securities investments in Fiscal Year 2022.

Net cash used in investing activities for Fiscal Year 2021 decreased by $286,727 to $10,339 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020 primarily due to (i) proceeds received in Fiscal Year 2020 from the sale of Forum, (ii) proceeds from a loan receivable in Fiscal Year 2020, and (iii) an increase in loans to related parties and decrease in repayments from related parties in Fiscal Year 2021 compared to Fiscal Year 2020, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.

*<u>Financing Activities</u>*

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $141,143 to $553 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower net transfers to MSG Entertainment and MSG Entertainment's subsidiaries in the current year period as compared to the prior year period.

Net cash used in financing activities for Fiscal Year 2022 increased by $869,775 to $396,287 as compared to Fiscal Year 2021 primarily due to (i) higher principal repayments for the National Properties Term Loan Facility in Fiscal Year 2022 and (ii) higher net transfers to MSG Entertainment and MSG Entertainment's subsidiaries in Fiscal Year 2022 as compared to Fiscal Year 2021.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Net cash provided by financing activities for Fiscal Year 2021 increased by $788,867 to $473,488 as compared to Fiscal Year 2020 primarily due to (i) proceeds received in Fiscal Year 2021 from the National Properties Term Loan Facility and (ii) lower net transfers to MSG Entertainment and MSG Entertainment's subsidiaries.

**Seasonality of Our Business** 

The revenues the Company earns from the *Christmas Spectacular* and arena license fees from MSG Sports in connection with the Knicks' and Rangers' use of The Garden generally means the Company earns a disproportionate share of its revenues and operating income in the second and third quarters of the Company's fiscal year, with the first fiscal quarter being disproportionally lower.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Critical Accounting Estimates** 

*Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements* 

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements, and Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement for discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

*Critical Accounting Estimates* 

Critical accounting estimates are those that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, especially in light of the current economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Judgments and uncertainties may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. In addition to the critical accounting estimates disclosed below, refer to the section above entitled *Proposed Distribution and Basis of Presentation* for further details on corporate allocations recorded in the combined financial statements.

The preparation of the Company's combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Management believes its use of estimates in the combined financial statements to be reasonable. The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

*Revenue Recognition — Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations* 

The Company enters into arrangements with multiple performance obligations, such as multi-year sponsorship agreements which may derive revenues for both the Company as well as MSG Sports within a single arrangement. The Company also derives revenue from similar types of arrangements which are entered into by MSG Sports. Payment terms for such arrangements can vary by contract, but payments are generally due in installments throughout the contractual term. The performance obligations included in each sponsorship agreement vary and may include advertising and other benefits such as, but not limited to, signage at The Garden and the Company's other venues, digital advertising, and event or property specific advertising, as well as non-advertising benefits such as suite licenses and event tickets. To the extent the Company's multi-year arrangements provide for performance obligations that are consistent over the multi-year contractual term, such performance obligations generally meet the definition of a series as provided for under the accounting guidance. If performance obligations are concluded to meet the definition of a series, the contractual fees for all years during the contract term are aggregated and the related revenue is recognized proportionately as the underlying performance obligations are satisfied.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The timing of revenue recognition for each performance obligation is dependent upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the Company's satisfaction of its respective performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price for such arrangements to each performance obligation within the arrangement based on the estimated relative standalone selling price of the performance obligation. The Company's process for determining its estimated standalone selling prices involves management's judgment and considers multiple factors including company specific and market specific factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation. Key factors considered by the Company in developing an estimated standalone selling price for its performance obligations include, but are not limited to, prices charged for similar performance obligations, the Company's ongoing pricing strategy and policies, and consideration of pricing of similar performance obligations sold in other arrangements with multiple performance obligations.

The Company may incur costs such as commissions to obtain its multi-year sponsorship agreements. The Company assesses such costs for capitalization on a contract by contract basis. To the extent costs are capitalized, the Company estimates the useful life of the related contract asset which may be the underlying contract term or the estimated customer life depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding the contract. The contract asset is amortized over the estimated useful life.

*Impairment of Long-Lived and Indefinite-Lived Assets* 

The Company's long-lived and indefinite-lived assets accounted for approximately 67% and 72% of the Company's combined total assets as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 31,<br>2022** | **June 30,<br>2022** |
|  Goodwill | $69041 | $69041 |
|  Indefinite-lived intangible assets | 63801 | 63801 |
|  Amortizable intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization |  | 1638 |

In assessing the recoverability of the Company's long-lived and indefinite-lived assets when there is an indicator of potential impairment, the Company must make estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized as well as the magnitude of any such charge. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve significant uncertainties and judgments and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. If these estimates or material related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its long-lived and/or indefinite-lived assets.

*Goodwill* 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of August 31 and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test at the reporting unit level. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has one reportable segment, consistent with the way management makes decisions and allocates resources to the business.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If the Company can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would not need to perform a quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. If the Company cannot support such a conclusion or the Company does not elect to perform the qualitative assessment, the first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.

The estimate of the fair value of the Company's reporting unit is primarily determined using discounted cash flows, comparable market transactions or other acceptable valuation techniques, including the cost approach. These valuations are based on estimates and assumptions including projected future cash flows, discount rates, cost-based assumptions, determination of appropriate market comparables and the determination of whether a premium or discount should be applied to comparables. Significant judgments inherent in a discounted cash flow analysis include the selection of the appropriate discount rate, the estimate of the amount and timing of projected future cash flows and identification of appropriate continuing growth rate assumptions. The discount rates used in the analysis are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows. The amount of an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

The Company elected to perform the qualitative assessment of impairment for the Company's reporting unit for the periods presented in the Combined Financial Statements. This assessment considered factors such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• macroeconomic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• industry and market considerations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cost factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• overall financial performance of the reporting unit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other relevant company-specific factors such as changes in management, strategy or customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• relevant reporting unit specific events such as changes in the carrying amount of net assets.

On August 31, 2022, the Company performed its most recent annual impairment test of goodwill and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill identified for its reporting unit as of the impairment test date. Based on this impairment test, the Company's reporting unit had a sufficient safety margin, representing the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, derived from the most recent quantitative assessment, less its respective carrying value (including goodwill). The Company believes that if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by greater than 10%, a sufficient safety margin has been realized.

Amortizable intangible assets and other long-lived assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from cash flows from other assets and liabilities. In determining whether an impairment of long-lived assets has occurred, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors. The quantitative analysis involves estimating the undiscounted future cash flows directly related to that asset group and comparing the resulting value against the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is greater than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its estimated fair value.

*Identifiable Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets* 

Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment as of August 31st and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The following table sets forth the amount of identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets reported in the Company's combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 31,<br>2022** | **June 30,<br>2022** |
|  Trademarks | $61881 | $61881 |
|  Photographic related rights | 1920 | 1920 |
|  | $63801 | $63801 |

---

The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In the qualitative assessment, the Company must evaluate the totality of qualitative factors, including any recent fair value measurements, that impact whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill has a carrying amount that more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The Company must proceed to conducting a quantitative analysis, if the Company (i) determines that such an impairment is more likely than not to exist, or (ii) forgoes the qualitative assessment entirely. Under the quantitative assessment, the impairment test for identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. For all periods presented, the Company elected to perform the qualitative assessment of impairment for the photographic related rights and the trademarks. These assessments considered the events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the intangible asset. Examples of such events and circumstances include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cost factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financial performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal, regulatory, contractual, business or other factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other relevant company-specific factors such as changes in management, strategy or customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• industry and market considerations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• macroeconomic conditions.

On August 31, 2022, the Company performed its most recent annual impairment test of identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets, and there were no impairments identified. Based on these impairment tests, the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets had sufficient safety margins, representing the excess of each identifiable indefinite-lived intangible asset's estimated fair value over its respective carrying value. The Company believes that if the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value by greater than 10%, a sufficient safety margin has been realized.

*Other Long-Lived Assets* 

For other long-lived assets, including intangible assets that are amortized, the Company evaluates assets for recoverability when there is an indication of potential impairment. If the undiscounted cash flows from a group of assets being evaluated is less than the carrying value of that group of assets, the fair value of the asset group is determined and the carrying value of the asset group is written down to fair value.

The estimated useful lives and net carrying values of the Company's intangible assets subject to amortization as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Estimated<br>Useful Lives** | **December 31,**<br>**2022** | **June 30,<br>2022** |
|  Trade names | 7 years | $– $| 361 |
|  Festival rights | 7 years | – | 1154 |
|  Other intangibles | 15 years | – | 123 |
|  |  | $– $| 1638 |

---

The Company has recognized intangible assets for trade names, festival rights and other intangibles as a result of purchase accounting. The Company has determined that these intangible assets have finite lives.

The useful lives of the Company's long-lived assets are based on estimates of the period over which the Company expects the assets to be of economic benefit to the Company. In estimating the useful lives, the Company considers factors such as, but not limited to, risk of obsolescence, anticipated use, plans of the Company, and applicable laws and permit requirements. In light of these facts and circumstances, the Company has determined that its estimated useful lives are appropriate.

See Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to the Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements, and Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement for discussion of additional consideration related to the preparation of the combined financial statements.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

**Corporate Governance** 

*General* 

We will apply to list our Class A Common Stock on the NYSE under the symbol "MSGE" (and change our name to "Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.") and we expect that Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. will change its symbol on the NYSE to "SPHR" (and be renamed "MSG Sphere Corp.") in connection with the Distribution. As a result, we are generally subject to NYSE corporate governance listing standards.

A listed company that meets NYSE's definition of a "controlled company" may elect not to comply with certain of these requirements. Holders of MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock who are members of the Dolan Family Group entered into a Stockholders Agreement relating to, among other things, the voting of their shares of MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock and filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC as a "group" under the rules of the SEC. We have been informed that prior to the Distribution, the members of the Dolan Family Group will enter into a similar Stockholders Agreement with respect to the voting of their shares of the Class B Common Stock that will be issued in the Distribution. As a result, following the Distribution, we will be a "controlled company." As a controlled company, we will have the right to elect not to comply with the corporate governance rules of the NYSE requiring: (i) a majority of independent directors on our Board, (ii) an independent corporate governance and nominating committee and (iii) an independent compensation committee. Our Board of Directors has elected for the Company to be treated as a "controlled company" under NYSE corporate governance rules and not to comply with the NYSE requirement for a majority-independent board of directors and for a corporate governance and nominating committee because of our status as a controlled company. Nevertheless, we expect our Board of Directors to elect to comply with the NYSE requirement for an independent compensation committee.

Mr. Sweeney brings to the Board his experience in various positions with Cablevision, as well as the knowledge and experience he has gained about MSG Entertainment's businesses and contributions he has made during his tenure as a director of MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports, MSG Networks, AMC Networks, and Cablevision.

The term of office of our directors will expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified and at each succeeding annual meeting after that. The business address for each director is c/o MSGE Spinco, Inc., Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121 and each director is a citizen of the United States. We will encourage our directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders and believe that attendance at annual meetings is just as important as attendance at meetings of the Board.

Because we did not have any operations in fiscal year 2022, our Board did not hold any meetings during that year.

*Overlapping Directors* 

Immediately following the Distribution, there will be certain overlap between members of the Company's Board of Directors who also hold positions at MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and AMC Networks. Nine of the members of the Board of Directors including James L. Dolan, Charles F. Dolan, Charles P. Dolan, Paul J. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Brian G. Sweeney, Ryan T. Dolan, Quentin F. Dolan, and Marianne Dolan Weber will also serve as directors of MSG Entertainment, nine members of the Board including James L. Dolan, Charles F. Dolan, Charles P. Dolan, Paul J. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Brian G. Sweeney, Ryan T. Dolan, Quentin F. Dolan, and Marianne Dolan Weber will serve as directors of MSG Sports and five members of the Board, including James L. Dolan, Charles F. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Brian G. Sweeney, and Marianne Dolan Weber will serve as directors of AMC Networks. In addition, Charles F. Dolan will serve as Chairman Emeritus of AMC Networks concurrently with his service on our Board. There will be no overlap of Class A Directors as between MSG Entertainment and the Company.

*Director Compensation* 

A director who is a Company employee will receive no extra compensation for serving as a director. Each non-employee director will receive a base cash retainer of $75,000 per year, $15,000 annually per committee membership and $25,000 annually per committee chairmanship. In addition, we will reimburse our directors for reasonable expenses in connection with attendance at Board, committee and stockholder meetings.

We will also pay our non-employee directors additional compensation in restricted stock units. Each year, each non-employee director will receive a grant of restricted stock units for the number of shares of common stock equal to $160,000 divided by the average closing price over the twenty-trading-day period concluding on the date immediately preceding the grant date. The restricted stock units the non-employee directors will receive will be fully vested on the date of grant but will remain subject to a holding requirement until the first business day following 90 days after service on the Board ceases (other than in the event of a director's death, in which case the restricted stock units will be settled as soon as practicable). Such compensation will be made pursuant to our Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Please see "Executive Compensation — Our Equity Compensation Plan Information — Our Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors" for information concerning our Director Stock Plan.

Non-employee directors have the ability to make a non-revocable annual election to defer all cash compensation (annual cash retainer and, if applicable, committee fees) to be earned in the next calendar year into restricted stock units. Grants of restricted stock units in lieu of cash compensation are determined by dividing the value of the applicable director's total annual cash compensation by the average closing price over the twenty-trading-day period

------

concluding on the date immediately preceding the grant date (February 15 or the next succeeding business day). Restricted stock units are fully vested on the date of grant but remain subject to a holding requirement until the first business day following 90 days after service on the Board ceases (other than in the event of a director's death, in which case they are settled as soon as practicable), at which time they are settled in stock or, at the Compensation Committee's election, in cash. Such equity grants are made pursuant to the Company's 2023 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director Stock Plan").

*Board Committees* 

The Board has two permanent committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

*Audit Committee* 

At the time of the Distribution, our Audit Committee will consist of three members. The primary purposes and responsibilities of our Audit Committee are to: (a) assist the Board (i) in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) in its oversight of our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) in assessing our independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications and independence, and (iv) in assessing the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; (b) appoint, compensate, retain, oversee and terminate the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approve, or adopt appropriate procedures to pre-approve, all audit and non-audit services, if any, to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm; (c) review the appointment and replacement of the head of our internal audit department and to review and coordinate the agenda, scope, priorities, plan and authority of the internal audit department; (d) establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and for the confidential, anonymous submission by Company employees or any provider of accounting-related services of concerns regarding questionable accounting and auditing matters and review of submissions and the treatment of any such complaints; (e) review and approve related party transactions that are required to be disclosed under SEC rules or that require such approval under the Company's Related Party Transaction Approval Policy (if the Audit Committee is then serving as the Independent Committee under such policy); (f) conduct and review with the Board an annual self-assessment of the Audit Committee; (g) prepare any report of the Audit Committee required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for inclusion in our annual proxy statement; (h) review and reassess the Audit Committee charter at least annually; (i) report to the Board on a regular basis; and (j) oversee corporate risks, including cybersecurity and venue security, and provide periodic updates to the Board on such oversight activities. The text of our Audit Committee charter is available on our website at investor.msgentertainment.com under Investors — Corporate Governance. A copy may be obtained by writing to MSGE Spinco, Inc., Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121; Attention: Corporate Secretary.

We expect our Board of Directors to determine that each member of our Audit Committee is "independent" within the meaning of the rules of both the NYSE and the SEC, and that each has not participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years and is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements. All directors we add to the Audit Committee in the future will also meet those standards. We expect our Board to also determine that at least one member of our Audit Committee is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.

Our Board has established a procedure whereby complaints or concerns with respect to accounting, internal controls, auditing and other matters may be submitted to the Audit Committee. This procedure is described under "Communicating with Our Directors" above.

Our Audit Committee did not exist in fiscal year 2022.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Compensation Committee* 

At the time of the Distribution, our Compensation Committee will consist of not less than two members. The primary purposes of our Compensation Committee are to: (a) establish our general compensation philosophy and, in consultation with management, oversee the development and implementation of compensation programs; (b) review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers who are required to file reports with the SEC under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (together with the Chief Executive Officer, the "Senior Employees"), evaluate their performance in light of these goals and objectives and determine and approve their compensation based upon that evaluation; (c) approve any new equity compensation plan or material changes to an existing plan; (d) oversee the activities of the committee or committees administering our retirement and benefit plans; (e) in consultation with management, oversee regulatory compliance with respect to compensation matters including overseeing the Company's policies on structuring compensation programs to preserve tax deductibility; (f) determine and approve any severance or similar termination payments to be made to Senior Employees (current or former); (g) determine the components and amount of Board compensation and review such determinations from time to time in relation to other similarly situated companies; (h) prepare any reports of the Compensation Committee to be included in the Company's annual proxy statement in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; (i) conduct and review with the Board an annual self-assessment of the Compensation Committee; and (j) report to the Board on a regular basis, but not less than annually.

The Compensation Committee will review the performance of the Senior Employees, evaluate their performance in light of those goals and objectives and, either as a committee or together with any other independent directors (as directed by the Board), will determine and approve the Senior Employees' compensation level based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of our Chief Executive Officer's compensation, the Compensation Committee will consider, among other factors, the Company's performance and relative stockholder return, the value of similar incentive awards to Chief Executive Officers at comparable companies and the awards given to the Chief Executive Officer in past years.

The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, delegate a portion of its duties and responsibilities to one or more subcommittees of the Compensation Committee. For example, the Compensation Committee may delegate the approval of certain transactions to a subcommittee consisting solely of members of the Compensation Committee who are "non-employee directors" for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 issued by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee may also engage outside compensation consultants to assist in the performance of its duties and responsibilities. The text of our Compensation Committee charter is available on our website at investor.msgentertainment.com under Investors — Governance — Corporate Governance. A copy may be obtained by writing to MSGE Spinco, Inc., Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121; Attention: Corporate Secretary.

We expect our Board of Directors to determine that each member of our Compensation Committee is "independent" under the rules of the NYSE.

Our Compensation Committee did not exist in fiscal year 2022.

*Absence of Nominating Committee* 

We will not have a nominating committee. We believe that it is appropriate not to have a nominating committee because of our stockholder voting structure. Under the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of our Class B Common Stock will have the right to elect 75% of the members of our Board. Our Governance Guidelines provide a mechanism for the selection of nominees for election as directors by the holders of our Class A Common Stock ("Class A Directors") and by the holders of our Class B Common Stock ("Class B Directors"). The holders of our Class A Common Stock are currently entitled to elect 25% of the members of our Board. Under our Governance Guidelines, nominees for election as Class A Directors

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
shall be recommended to the Board by the Class A Directors then in office who were elected by the holders of our Class A Common Stock. Nominees for election as Class B Directors shall be recommended to our Board by the Class B Directors then in office who were elected by the holders of the Class B Common Stock.

Our directors have not set specific, minimum qualifications that nominees must meet in order for them to be nominated for election to the Board, but rather believe that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her individual merits, taking into account, among other matters, the factors set forth in our Governance Guidelines under "Board Composition" and "Selection of Directors." Those factors include:

• The desire to have a Board that encompasses a broad range of skills, expertise, industry knowledge, diversity of
viewpoints, opinions, background and experience, and contacts relevant to our business;

• Personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community;

• Ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters; and

• The fit of the individual's skill and personality with those of other directors and potential directors in
building a Board that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of our Company.

The Class A Directors will evaluate possible candidates to recommend to the Board for nomination as Class A Directors and suggest individuals for the Board. The Board will consider nominees for Class A Directors recommended by our stockholders. Nominees recommended by stockholders will be given appropriate consideration in the same manner as other nominees. Stockholders who wish to submit nominees for consideration by the Board for election at our annual meeting of stockholders may do so by submitting in writing such nominees' names, in compliance with the procedures and along with the other information required by our by-laws. Any such nominee must be submitted to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, at MSGE Spinco, Inc., Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121 not less than 60 or more than 90 days prior to the date of our annual meeting of stockholders, provided that if the date of the meeting is publicly announced or disclosed less than 70 days prior to the date of the meeting, such notice must be given not more than 10 days after such date is first announced or disclosed.

The Class B Directors will consult from time to time with one or more of the holders of Class B Common Stock to ensure that all Class B Director nominees recommended to the Board are individuals who will make a meaningful contribution as Board members and will be individuals likely to receive the approving vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. The Class B Directors do not intend to consider unsolicited suggestions of nominees by holders of our Class A Common Stock. We believe that this is appropriate in light of the voting provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation which vest exclusively in the holders of our Class B Common Stock the right to elect our Class B Directors.

*Other Committees* 

In addition to standing committees, the Company has adopted a policy whereby a committee of our Board of Directors consisting entirely of independent directors (an "Independent Committee") will review and approve transactions with Other Entities in which the value or expected value of the transaction or arrangement exceeds $1,000,000. The Independent Committee will also review and approve or take such other action as it may deem appropriate with respect to transactions involving the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and in which any director, executive officer, greater than 5% stockholder of the Company or any other "related person" as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC ("Item 404") has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. This approval requirement covers any transaction that meets the related party disclosure requirements of the SEC as set forth in Item 404, which currently apply to any transaction (or any series of similar transactions) in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. The policy does not cover decisions on compensation or benefits or the hiring or retention of executive officers. The hiring or retention of executive officers is determined by our full Board of Directors. Compensation of executive officers is subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee. This policy also does not cover any pro rata distributions to all

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Company stockholders, including a pro rata distribution of our Class A Common Stock to holders of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock to holders of our Class B Common Stock. No director on an Independent Committee will participate in the consideration of a related party transaction with that director or any related person of that director.

Our amended by-laws will provide for the formation of an Executive Committee of the Board of Directors which would have the power to exercise all of the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, except as limited by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our Board has not formed an Executive Committee, although it could do so in the future.

Our by-laws also permit the Board of Directors to appoint other committees of the Board from time to time which would have such powers and duties as the Board properly determines.

**EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION** 

**Introduction**

We present historical and current fiscal year information concerning the compensation from MSG Entertainment of Mr. James L. Dolan, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; David F.

D'Ambrosio, our Senior Vice President and Treasurer; and Courtney M. Zeppetella, our Senior Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

**The historical compensation information, including in particular the information set forth below under "— Historical Compensation Information," is not directly relevant to the compensation that these officers will receive from the Company.** 

Each of our named executive officers holds various long-term incentive awards that were granted by MSG Entertainment. Treatment of these in the Distribution is described under "— Treatment of Outstanding Awards."

**Compensation Discussion & Analysis** 

This Compensation Discussion & Analysis provides a discussion of MSG Entertainment's compensation philosophy and 2022 fiscal year compensation from MSG Entertainment for our NEOs (as defined below). MSG Entertainment's compensation philosophy may be relevant to the Company because it is anticipated that the elements of our compensation will be similar to the elements of MSG Entertainment's compensation. Our Compensation Committee will review the impact of the Distribution and will review all aspects of compensation and make any appropriate adjustments.

For purposes of this Compensation Discussion & Analysis, the Company's named executive officers are James L. Dolan, David F. Byrnes, Jamal H. Haughton, Philip G. D'Ambrosio, and Courtney M. Zeppetella. These individuals are referred to as Named Executive Officers ("NEOs"). Mr. Dolan is also a named executive officer of MSG Entertainment and will continue as an officer of MSG Entertainment following the Distribution.

**Executive Summary** 

***MSG Entertainment's Executive Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy***

Given the unique nature of its business, MSG Entertainment places great importance on its ability to attract, retain, motivate and reward experienced executive officers who can drive its business objectives and achieve strong financial, operational and stock price performance, as well as long-term value creation. The compensation committee of the board of directors of MSG Entertainment ("MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee" or the "MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee") has designed executive compensation policies and programs that are consistent with, explicitly linked to, and supportive of the financial and strategic objectives of growing MSG Entertainment's businesses and driving long-term stockholder value.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee has designed a program that reflects four key overarching executive compensation principles:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Principle** | **Implementation<sup>(1)</sup>** |
| **A significant portion of compensation opportunities should be at risk.** | • The majority of executive compensation is at risk and based on MSG Entertainment stockholder returns as well as MSG Entertainment's performance against predetermined financial performance targets. |
| **Long-term performance incentives should generally outweigh short-term performance incentives.** | • Incentive compensation focuses more heavily on MSG Entertainment's long-term rather than short-term accomplishments and results. |
| **Executive officers should be aligned with stockholders through equity compensation.** | • Equity-based compensation comprises a substantial portion of executive compensation, ensuring alignment with MSG Entertainment's stockholder interests. |
| **The compensation structure should enable MSG Entertainment to attract, retain, motivate and reward the best talent in a competitive industry.** | • MSG Entertainment's overall executive compensation program is competitive, equitable and thoughtfully structured so as to attract, retain, motivate and reward talent.<br>• MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee focuses on total direct compensation, as well as individual compensation elements when providing competitive compensation opportunities. |

---

(1) Excludes any one-time awards, including awards granted in connection
with commencement of employment.

In designing MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee seeks to fulfill these objectives by maintaining appropriate balances between (1) short-term and long-term compensation, (2) cash and equity compensation, and (3) performance-based and time-based vesting of compensation.

***Elements of MSG Entertainment's Compensation Program***

MSG Entertainment compensated the NEOs through base salary, annual incentive awards, long-term incentive awards, perquisites and benefit programs, as applicable. MSG Entertainment's annual and long-term incentive programs provide performance-based incentives for such NEOs tied to key financial and strategic measures that generate long-term stockholder value and reward sustained achievement of MSG Entertainment's key financial goals. MSG Entertainment considers Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue (defined below) and AOI to be the key measures of MSG Entertainment's operating performance. As such, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee has reflected these performance measures in its annual incentive awards and long-term incentive performance equity awards, along with other specific strategic and operating measures. MSG Entertainment's long-term incentive program also includes restricted stock units whose value is tied to the performance of the market value of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock. Ms. Zeppetella, who joined MSG Entertainment effective as of May 2, 2022, was not eligible to receive annual incentive awards or long-term incentive awards during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

The table below summarizes the elements of MSG Entertainment's compensation program for the 2022 fiscal year and how each element was linked to MSG Entertainment's performance. The MSG Entertainment

Compensation Committee, after considering the advice of its independent compensation consultant, approved certain changes to the elements of MSG Entertainment's compensation program for the 2023 fiscal year, which are described further below under "— MSG Entertainment's Compensation Program Practices and Policies — Changes to Fiscal Year 2023 Compensation Program."

***MSG Entertainment's 2022 Fiscal Year Annual Compensation Opportunities Mix***

**MSG Entertainment's Sound Compensation Governance Practices** 

MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program is overseen by the wholly independent MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee, with the support of an independent compensation consultant and independent legal counsel. MSG Entertainment maintains a compensation program with strong governance features, including:

**MSG Entertainment's Compensation Program Practices and Policies** 

The following discussion describes the practices and policies implemented by MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. For the 2022 fiscal year, compensation for each NEO was subject to an employment agreement approved by MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee.

During fiscal year 2022, MSG Entertainment entered into a new multi-year employment agreement with Mr. Dolan, effective as of August 1, 2021. The prior employment agreement with MSG Entertainment had been entered into at the time of the spin-off of MSG Entertainment in April 2020, with a scheduled expiration date on the first anniversary of the spin-off. The MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee was responsible for overseeing matters relating to the new agreement and was advised by the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant and represented in the negotiations by the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee's independent legal counsel. Prior to the Networks Merger, Mr. Dolan was employed as Executive Chairman of MSG Networks pursuant to the terms of a multi-year employment agreement that continued to apply following the Networks Merger (but which has been superseded by the terms of Mr. Dolan's new agreement with MSG Entertainment). In the course of their review, the independent compensation consultant provided the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee with broad market data (both industry-related and general industry data) on multi-year arrangements involving executive chairman and chief executive officer positions, information relating to the terms of Mr. Dolan's employment agreement with MSG Networks, as well as other information relating to MSG Entertainment's performance and operations and other internal executive compensation data. The MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee's review also took into account various other factors, including MSG Entertainment's overall objectives and philosophy of its executive compensation program, the components of the proposed compensation arrangement, Mr. Dolan's extensive experience and history with MSG Entertainment and its predecessors and affiliates, his in-depth knowledge of MSG Entertainment's business and key involvement in the Sphere initiatives, his leadership and relationship with senior management and the overall scope and responsibilities of his role as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

***Role of the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee***

MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee administers MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program. The responsibilities of MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee are set forth in its charter. Among other responsibilities, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee: (1) establishes MSG Entertainment's general compensation philosophy and, in consultation with management, oversees the development and implementation of MSG Entertainment's compensation programs; (2) reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of MSG Entertainment's executive officers who are required to file reports with the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, evaluates their performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determines and approves their respective compensation levels based on this evaluation; (3) oversees the activities of the committee or committees administering MSG Entertainment's retirement and benefit plans; and (4) administers MSG Entertainment's equity-based compensation plans.

***Role of the Independent MSG Entertainment Compensation Consultant***

MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee has authority under its charter to engage outside consultants to assist in the performance of its duties and responsibilities. MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee utilizes the services of ClearBridge Compensation Group LLC (the "MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant"), an independent compensation consultant, to assist in determining whether the elements of MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program are reasonable and consistent with MSG Entertainment's objectives.

The MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant collaborates with independent legal counsel to the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee and reports directly to MSG Entertainment's Compensation

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Committee and, at the request of MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee, the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant meets with members of MSG Entertainment's management from time to time for the purpose of gathering information on management proposals and recommendations to be presented to MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee.

With respect to compensation matters for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the services provided by the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant to MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee included:

• Attending all MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee meetings;

• Providing information, research, and analysis pertaining to MSG Entertainment's executive compensation
program for the 2022 fiscal year;

• Regularly updating MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee on market trends, changing practices, and
legislation pertaining to compensation;

• Assisting MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee in making pay determinations for MSG
Entertainment's executive officers;

• Assisting MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee in connection with the entry into new employment
agreements with certain of MSG Entertainment's named executive officers;

• Advising on the design of MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program and the reasonableness of
individual compensation targets and awards;

• Conducting a compensation risk assessment;

• Advising on compensation matters in connection with the Networks Merger;

• Providing advice and recommendations that incorporate both market data and company-specific factors; and

• Assisting MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee in connection with its review and update to its non-employee director compensation program.

During the 2022 fiscal year, the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant provided no services to MSG Entertainment other than those provided to MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee.

MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee charter requires MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee to consider the NYSE independence factors before receiving advice from an advisor, despite the fact that such independence rules are not applicable to controlled companies. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee concluded that the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant satisfies the independence requirements of the NYSE rules. In addition, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee believed that the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant's work did not raise any conflicts of interest during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In reaching this conclusion, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee considered the same rules regarding advisor independence.

***Role of MSG Entertainment Executive Officers in Determining Compensation***

MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation of MSG Entertainment's Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and, following discussions with the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant, establishes his compensation. MSG Entertainment's senior management assists MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee and the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant as described in this Compensation Discussion & Analysis, and provides to MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee, either directly or through the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant, management's recommendations on the compensation for MSG Entertainment's

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
executive officers other than the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Other members of MSG Entertainment's management provide support to MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee as needed. Based upon a review of performance and historical compensation, recommendations and information from members of MSG Entertainment's management, and recommendations and discussions with the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee determines and approves compensation for its executive officers.

***MSG Entertainment's Performance Objectives***

As described below under "— Elements of MSG Entertainment's Compensation Program," performance-based incentive compensation is an important element of MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program.

Generally, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee has historically based the performance objectives for MSG Entertainment's incentive compensation on Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue and AOI. MSG Entertainment considers these performance objectives to be key measures of MSG Entertainment's operating performance, and currently expects to follow this practice in the future.

MSG Entertainment defines "Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue" as MSG Entertainment's total revenue for all business units other than specified divisions where direct contribution is the measure used, in which cases Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue includes the direct contribution of those units. Direct contribution is revenue less event-related expenses. In those instances, MSG Entertainment's management believes direct contribution serves as a more meaningful measure of revenue.

MSG Entertainment defines "AOI," which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as MSG Entertainment's operating income (loss) before (i) adjustments to remove the impact of non-cash straight-line leasing revenue associated with Arena License Agreements, (ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, (iii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs, (iv) share-based compensation expense, (v) restructuring charges or credits, (vi) merger and acquisition related costs, including litigation expenses, (vii) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, (viii) the impact of Purchase Accounting Adjustments related to business acquisitions, and (ix) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under MSG Entertainment's executive deferred compensation plan (which was established in November 2021). "MSG Entertainment Business Unit AOI" is based upon the AOI of MSG Entertainment's business segments less unallocated corporate business unit expenses such as public company costs and merger and acquisition support, subject to certain adjustments.

The performance measures used for purposes of annual incentives or long-term awards may contemplate certain potential future adjustments and exclusions.

***Tally Sheets***

MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee has reviewed tally sheets prepared by the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant, setting forth all components of compensation payable, and the benefits accruing, to the NEOs including all cash compensation, benefits, perquisites and the current value of outstanding equity-based awards. The tally sheets also set forth potential payouts to such NEOs upon various termination scenarios.

***Determining MSG Entertainment Compensation Levels; Benchmarking***

As part of the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee's review of the total compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant assisted MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee in: (1) determining if a peer group should be used for comparative

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
purposes, (2) assessing executive compensation in light of internal and external considerations and (3) reviewing MSG Entertainment's equity and cash-based executive incentive programs, taking into account evolving market trends. MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee, in consultation with the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant, considered broad market data (both industry-related and general industry data) and multiple broad-based compensation surveys in order to appropriately assess compensation levels.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee, in consultation with the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant, determined not to utilize a peer group or target positioning in determining compensation given the limited number of comparable publicly-traded companies.

In addition to the market data listed above, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee considered internal information (historical compensation, job responsibility, experience, parity among executive officers, contractual commitments and attraction and retention of talent) to determine compensation.

***Elements of MSG Entertainment's Compensation Program***

MSG Entertainment's executive compensation philosophy is reflected in the principal elements of its executive compensation program, each of which is important to MSG Entertainment's goal of attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding highly-qualified executive officers. MSG Entertainment's compensation program included the following key elements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022: base salary, annual cash incentives, long-term incentives, retirement, health and welfare and other benefits, which are generally provided to all other eligible employees of MSG Entertainment, and additional executive officer benefits, including post-termination compensation under certain circumstances and certain perquisites, each as described below.

A significant percentage of total direct compensation is allocated to incentive compensation in accordance with the philosophy of MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee. MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee reviews historical compensation, other information provided by the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant and other factors, such as experience, performance, length of service and contractual commitments, to determine the appropriate level and mix of compensation for its executive officers. The allocation between cash and equity compensation and between short-term and long-term compensation is designed to provide a variety of fixed and at-risk compensation that is related to the achievement of MSG Entertainment's short-term and long-term objectives.

Mr. Dolan is also employed by MSG Sports as its Executive Chairman. Mr. Dolan receives separate compensation from MSG Sports with respect to such employment. Prior to the Networks Merger, Mr. Dolan was also employed by MSG Networks, and he received separate compensation from MSG Networks during the 2021 fiscal year. While the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee was aware that Mr. Dolan also received compensation for services rendered to MSG Sports, its own compensation decisions were based on its independent assessment and application of the compensation goals and objectives of MSG Entertainment. The compensation program and philosophies discussed in this information statement reflect only compensation that is paid by MSG Entertainment for services rendered to MSG Entertainment, except as otherwise noted.

See "— Key Elements of 2023 Expected Compensation from the Company" below for information regarding the compensation expected to be paid by the Company to our NEOs following the Distribution.

*Base Salaries* 

MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee is responsible for setting the base salaries of its executive officers, which are intended to compensate them for the day-to-day services that they perform for MSG Entertainment. MSG Entertainment set the base salaries for these executive officers at levels that are intended to reflect the competitive marketplace in attracting and retaining quality executive officers. The employment

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
agreements between MSG Entertainment and the executive officers contain a minimum base salary level. MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee reviews the salaries of its executive officers at least annually. MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee may adjust base salaries for its executive officers over time, based on their performance and experience and in accordance with the terms of their employment agreements.

The MSG Entertainment base salary rates for Messrs. Dolan, Byrnes, Haughton and D'Ambrosio and Ms. Zeppetella in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 were as follows: $2,000,000, $800,000, $1,100,000, $680,000 and $550,000, respectively. See footnote 1 to "— Historical Compensation Information — Summary Compensation Table" for additional information regarding the base salaries paid by MSG Entertainment to our NEOs during its fiscal year. MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee determined salaries for the NEOs after evaluation of MSG Entertainment and individual performance, market pay levels, the range of increases generally provided to MSG Entertainment's employees and, to the extent appropriate, MSG Entertainment management's recommendations.

*Annual Cash Incentives* 

*<u>Overview</u>*

MSG Entertainment's annual cash incentives earned for performance in the 2022 fiscal year were determined by performance against goals established by the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee under the MSG Entertainment's Management Performance Incentive Plan ("MPIP"). Under the MPIP, eligible members of management were provided an opportunity to earn an annual cash award. The size of the bonus pool was based on performance measures tied to Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue and MSG Entertainment AOI targets for the 2022 fiscal year as well as certain pre-determined strategic objectives.

This annual incentive was designed to link executive compensation directly to MSG Entertainment's performance by providing incentives and rewards based upon business performance during the applicable fiscal year.

MPIP awards to all eligible employees were conditioned upon the satisfaction of predetermined financial and strategic objectives. For the 2022 fiscal year, MSG Entertainment applied a business function-specific weighting system, with the weighting between financial and strategic objectives for each business function depending on the specific challenges and desired focus of that function. MSG Entertainment had 12 business functions in fiscal year 2022 including: MSG Networks, Productions, Live, Marketing Partnerships, Venue Operations, MSG Ventures, MSG Studios and Corporate, with a varied range of strategic weightings determined by the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee, depending on the particular business function. The financial and strategic objectives for the Corporate function (including named executive officers) were each weighted 50% to reflect MSG Entertainment's focus on supporting the business units in safely and efficiently bringing business back following the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as MSG Entertainment's long-term goals for transformative strategic growth and development, including the development of MSG Spheres.

MPIP results were calculated based on performance achievement against these predetermined goals, as discussed below for MSG Entertainment's Corporate function.

![LOGO](g357108g10p00.jpg)

As discussed in "Performance Targets & Achievement Levels" below, as a result of the level of achievement of the adjusted Corporate financial and strategic objectives, the payout level of the annual cash incentives was calculated at 139.2% of the target level.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*<u>Target Award Opportunities</u>*

Each employee eligible for an annual incentive award from MSG Entertainment was assigned a target award equal to a percentage of that employee's base salary as of the conclusion of the applicable fiscal year. Target annual incentive opportunities were based upon the applicable employee's position, grade level, responsibilities, and historical and expected future contributions to MSG Entertainment. In addition, each employment agreement between MSG Entertainment and each of the NEOs contains a minimum target annual incentive award level. The MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee reviews the target annual incentive award levels of the NEOs at least annually, subject to the minimum target annual incentive award level set forth in each employment agreement between MSG Entertainment and each of the NEOs.

*<u>Annual Incentive Payouts</u>*

The below table summarizes each NEO's target annual incentive opportunity and actual 2022 fiscal year annual incentive payouts from MSG Entertainment, as determined by MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee. The annual incentive payouts are described in more detail below:

(1) Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Byrnes was also provided a one-time cash award in
the amount of $811,868 in connection with the forfeiture of earned compensation payable to him by his previous employer. Mr. Byrnes will be required to repay the gross amount of this one-time cash award in the event of his resignation without
"good reason" or termination for cause within one year following the commencement of his employment with MSG Entertainment.

(2) Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Haughton was also provided a one-time cash award in
the amount of $250,000 in connection with the commencement of his employment with MSG Entertainment. Mr. Haughton will be required to repay the prorated amount of this one-time cash award in the event of his resignation without "good
reason" or termination for cause within one year following the commencement of his employment with MSG Entertainment (proration based on the number of calendar days remaining until the first anniversary of the effective date, less all
applicable payroll taxes).

(3) Mr. D'Ambrosio's 2022 incentive payout reflects an additional $100,000 (in excess of the 139.2%
annual cash incentive payout for the corporate function) in recognition of his contributions to MSG Entertainment's financing efforts.

(4) Pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Zeppetella was not eligible for an annual cash incentive
award for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and was provided a one-time special cash award in the amount of $200,000. Ms. Zeppetella will be required to repay the prorated amount of this one-time cash award in the event of her resignation without
"good reason" or termination for cause within one year following the commencement of her employment with MSG Entertainment (proration based on the number of calendar days remaining until the first anniversary of the effective date, less
all applicable payroll taxes).

*<u>Performance Targets & Achievement Levels</u>*

**Financial Component (50%):**

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the MPIP financial performance objectives were set recognizing the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and expected ramp-up during fiscal year 2022, the expected

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
impacts of the Networks Merger (including transaction fees and synergies), and included rigorous Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue (weighted 40% of the financial component) and Company AOI (weighted 60% of the financial component) targets, with potential payouts under this component ranging from 0-200% of target.

The financial component of the MPIP was determined after assessing the consolidated financial performance against the predetermined targets. The MPIP provides for pre-approved adjustments, including with respect to the MSG Networks business and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, when evaluating the financial performance against the pre-determined objectives.

The measurement against the adjusted targets for the 2022 fiscal year provided the following calculated results:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Financial Metrics**<br> **(Weighting)** | **2022 Fiscal Year**<br> **Payout Results** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Revenues (40%) | 99.6% of target |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; AOI (60%) | 174.9% of target |

---

Based on the performance against these pre-determined financial performance objectives, the calculated result of the financial component of the MPIP, giving effect to the payment provisions of the MPIP, was 144.8%.

**Strategic Component (50%):** 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the MPIP also included a performance component that measured achievement against relevant strategic goals, objectives and metrics specified each fiscal year. These goals, objectives and metrics are reviewed and approved by the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year.

*Goal Setting Process:* Each year, specific goals are established for each business function. These goals are intended to align with MSG Entertainment's broad strategic initiatives and are subdivided into discrete objectives, which are further cascaded down into specific, measurable metrics that are used to enumerate year-end achievement. As part of this process, each goal (and its related tactics) is assigned a weight, and at the end of the fiscal year, each goal and tactic's level of achievement is evaluated and assigned a rating of 0-200%. Taking into account the weight of each goal and tactic, these ratings are then used to derive the overall strategic score for each business function.

*2022 Fiscal Year Corporate Goals & Achievement:* In the 2022 fiscal year, the Corporate function's strategic component focused on numerous core strategies aimed at supporting business units in safely and efficiently bringing business back, supporting MSG Entertainment's MSG Sphere initiative and driving value through corporate structuring and key new business initiatives and special projects. These Corporate function goals were supported by more than 50 individual measurable metrics and tactics.

The strategic component for eligible NEO payouts was calculated based on the extent to which Corporate-specific objectives and metrics were achieved in the fiscal year.

Based on the performance against these predetermined Corporate objectives, the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee determined the payout result of the strategic component of the MPIP for the Corporate function was achieved at 133.5% of target.

**Annual Cash Incentive Payout:** 

As a result of level of achievement of the Corporate financial and strategic objectives, as discussed above, the payout level of the annual cash incentives was calculated at 139.2% of the target level for the 2022 fiscal year.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*<u>Long-term Incentives</u>*

Long-term incentives represent a substantial portion of MSG Entertainment's executive officers' annual total direct compensation. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment's standard long-term incentives were comprised of performance stock units and restricted stock units.

MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee believes this equity mix:

• Establishes strong alignment between its executive officers and the interests of MSG Entertainment's
stockholders;

• Provides meaningful incentive to drive actions that will improve MSG Entertainment's long term stockholder
value; and

• Supports MSG Entertainment's objectives of attracting and retaining the best executive officer talent.

The following table summarizes MSG Entertainment's 2022 fiscal year standard annual long-term incentive awards for the NEOs, excluding Ms. Zeppetella:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Element** | **Weighting** | | **Summary** |

------

(1) The grant date fair value listed above is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718
("Topic 718"). MSG Entertainment determines the number of restricted stock units to grant by dividing the target grant value by the 20-trading day average ending on the day before the date of
approval by MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee.

(2) This amount includes 15,757 units ($1,291,759) granted in April 2022 to reflect the increased target
long-term incentive opportunity (on a non-pro rata basis) as a result of Mr. Dolan's new employment agreement effective August 2021.

(3) With respect to Messrs. Byrnes and Haughton, this amount was granted in April 2022 to reflect long-term
incentive opportunities under their employment agreements on a non-pro rata basis.

(4) Pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Zeppetella was not eligible for any grant of long-term
incentive awards for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

MSG Entertainment's standard restricted stock units vest ratably over three years on September 15th of each year following the year of grant, subject to continued employment and employment agreement terms (as applicable). Mid-year grants in respect of an out-of-cycle promotion, increase in compensation or new-hire typically vest on the same time frame as standard restricted stock units granted that fiscal year.

*MSG Entertainment Performance Stock Units* 

Performance stock units are intended to align MSG Entertainment's executive officers' interests with those of its stockholders, with a focus on long-term financial results.

Under MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, performance stock units were granted to MSG Entertainment's executive officers and certain other members of its management pursuant to the MSG Entertainment Employee Stock Plan.

*2022 Fiscal Year Grants* 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee approved the following awards of MSG Entertainment performance stock units to the Company's NEOs for the 2022-2024 fiscal year period:

grant for performance stock units is the date the performance targets are set for such awards, which, for

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was on June 28, 2022. MSG Entertainment determines the number of performance stock units to grant by dividing the target grant value by the 20-trading day average ending on the day before the date of approval by MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee.

(2) With respect to Mr. Dolan, this amount includes 15,757 units ($818,734) approved in April 2022 to
reflect the increased target long-term incentive opportunity (on a non-pro rata basis) as a result of Mr. Dolan's new employment agreement effective August 2021.

(3) With respect to Messrs. Byrnes and Haughton, this amount was approved in April 2022 to reflect long-term
incentive opportunities under their employment agreements on a non-pro rata basis.

(4) Pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Zeppetella was not eligible for any grant of long-term
incentive awards for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

MSG Entertainment's performance stock units are structured to be settled upon the later of September 15th following a three-year period, and the date of certification of achievement against pre-determined performance goals measured in the final year of such three-year period. Mid-year grants in respect of an out-of-cycle promotion, increase in compensation or new-hire typically settle on the same time frame as standard performance stock units granted that fiscal year.

*Target Setting* 

For the 2022 fiscal year performance stock units approved in August 2021 and April 2022 for the 2022-2024 fiscal year period, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee selected Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue and MSG Entertainment Business Unit AOI as the two financial metrics to be measured in the final fiscal year of the vesting period.

Goals were set in June 2022 based on MSG Entertainment's long-range plan, which is subject to review by the board of directors of MSG Entertainment. MSG Entertainment's long-range plan is confidential and disclosure of those targets could provide information that could lead to competitive harm, and for this reason the performance stock unit financial performance targets are not disclosed; however, MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee seeks to make target goals ambitious, requiring meaningful growth over the performance period, while threshold goals are expected to be achievable. MSG Entertainment intends to disclose the Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue and MSG Entertainment Business Unit AOI payout results as a percentage of target as well as the resulting payout for the 2022 fiscal year performance stock units as a percentage of target measured in the last year of the three-year vesting period (i.e., performance is based on 2024 fiscal year performance).

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **MSG Entertainment Financial Metrics**<br> **(Weighting)** | **Threshold**<br> **Performance** | **Maximum**<br> **Performance** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue (50%) | 85% of target goal | 115% of target goal |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; MSG Entertainment Business Unit AOI (50%) | 75% of target goal | 125% of target goal |

The performance stock unit payout opportunity ranges from 0 to 110% of target, based on MSG Entertainment's performance and subject to continued employment and employment agreement terms (as applicable). At the threshold performance level, the award would vest at 90% of the target performance stock units, and at or above the maximum performance level, the award would vest at 110% of the target performance stock units. If MSG Entertainment exceeds threshold levels but does not achieve the targeted rates, or if MSG Entertainment achieves or exceeds one target but not both, the award provides for partial payments. No performance stock units would vest if MSG Entertainment fails to achieve both threshold levels of performance.

<u>2020 Fiscal Year Performance Stock Unit Awards</u> 

The performance stock units issued by MSG Entertainment at the time of the 2020 Entertainment Distribution in respect of the MSG Sports performance stock units granted by The Madison Square Garden Company during the 2020 fiscal year (the "2020 fiscal year performance stock units") were amended by MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee following the 2020 Entertainment Distribution to reflect Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue and MSG Entertainment Business Unit AOI performance objectives, weighted at 50% each, measured over a July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 performance period (the third year of the three-year performance award). The level of achievement for each performance objective was adjusted in accordance with the terms of the awards. Based on the performance against these predetermined objectives, the Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue and MSG Entertainment Business Unit AOI performance results as a percentage of target performance were calculated at 99.7% and 105.7%, respectively, with a resulting calculated payout for the 2020 fiscal year performance stock units of 102.7% of target. The 2020 fiscal year performance stock units were settled in September 2022.

With respect to Mr. Dolan, who was employed by both the Company and MSG Sports during the 2020 fiscal year, the payout multiplier was determined based on the performance of MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports, with the performance for each company blended as a weighted average based on Mr. Dolan's total direct compensation allocated between MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports at the time of the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, and applied to both his MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports performance stock units. As a result, the payout of Mr. Dolan's MSG Entertainment 2020 fiscal year performance stock units was 102.7% of target. For more information on the MSG Sports 2020 performance stock units payout level, see MSG Sports' 2022 Definitive Proxy Statement.

<u>Treatment of MSG Networks Equity Awards</u> 

In connection with the Networks Merger, the MSG Networks stock options and restricted stock unit awards, including such awards held by any NEO who was also employed by MSG Networks, were assumed by MSG Entertainment and converted into a stock option or restricted stock unit denominated in shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.172 (stock options and restricted stock units subject to performance vesting conditions were converted to stock options and restricted stock units, as applicable, with time-vesting conditions for the remainder of the performance period assuming the performance conditions were achieved at 100% of target). Additional details regarding the assumption and conversion of the MSG Networks awards is available in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by MSG Entertainment and MSG Networks in connection with the Networks Merger.

*MSG Entertainment's Hedging and Pledging Policies* 

MSG Entertainment's Insider Trading Policy prohibits all of its directors, consultants and employees (including its executive officers), and all members of their immediate families or any individual who is materially dependent upon them for financial support who reside in the same household, from directly or indirectly (i) engaging in short sales, short sales against the box or other "hedging" transactions unless otherwise permitted by MSG Entertainment and (ii) placing securities in margin accounts or otherwise pledging MSG Entertainment securities.

***Holding Requirements***

Under MSG Entertainment's executive compensation program for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, annual restricted stock unit awards vest ratably over three years and annual performance stock unit awards cliff-vest after three years to the extent that pre-determined financial performance targets measured in the last year of the three-year period are achieved, in each case, so long as the recipient is continuously employed by MSG Entertainment until the applicable vesting date (and subject to the performance conditions described above and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
any applicable terms of the award agreements and their MSG Entertainment employment agreement). With respect to MSG Entertainment's non-management directors, compensation includes annual awards of MSG Entertainment restricted stock units. Pursuant to MSG Entertainment's award agreements, directors' restricted stock units are settled in shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock (or, in the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee's discretion, cash) on the first business day following 90 days after service on the board of directors of MSG Entertainment ceases (other than in the event of a director's death, where the MSG Entertainment restricted stock units are settled immediately). One effect of the cliff and three-year ratable vesting (with respect to MSG Entertainment's named executive officers or eligible MSG Entertainment employees) and holding requirements (with respect to non-management MSG Entertainment directors) applicable to MSG Entertainment awards is to require MSG Entertainment executive officers, directors and eligible MSG Entertainment employees to maintain significant holdings of MSG Entertainment securities at all times.

***Changes to Fiscal Year 2023 Compensation Program***

In connection with approving the elements of MSG Entertainment's compensation program for the 2023 fiscal year, the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee, in consultation with the MSG Entertainment independent compensation consultant, determined to establish an annual incentive plan that reflected certain changes from the terms of the MPIP as in effect for the 2022 fiscal year:

• As MSG Entertainment's business operations resume with increased capacity following the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate for the MPIP for the 2023 fiscal year to further MSG Entertainment's focus on profitability by
increasing the portion of the financial objectives tied to AOI from 60% to 70%, with the remainder tied to Total MSG Entertainment Net Revenue.

• For the Corporate function, the financial objectives will continue to be determined based on the performance of
MSG Entertainment.

MSG Entertainment believes that these changes for the 2023 fiscal year are appropriate for meeting MSG Entertainment's annual incentive objectives. There were no changes to MSG Entertainment's long-term incentive program.

***MSG Entertainment's Benefits***

Benefits offered by MSG Entertainment to its executive officers generally provide for retirement income and serve as a safety net against hardships that can arise from illness, disability or death. MSG Entertainment's executive officers are generally eligible to participate in the same health and welfare benefit plans made available to the other benefits-eligible employees of MSG Entertainment, including, for example, medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability coverage.

*Defined Benefit Plans* 

MSG Entertainment sponsors the MSG Entertainment Group, LLC Cash Balance Pension Plan (the "Cash Balance Pension Plan"), a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, which was retained by MSG Entertainment after the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, for participating employees, including certain executive officers. The Cash Balance Pension Plan was frozen to new participants and future benefit accruals effective as of December 31, 2015. Following the Distribution, we expect to offer health and welfare benefits and retirement plans that are substantially similar to the existing benefits and plans offered by MSG.

More information regarding the Cash Balance Pension Plan and the Retirement Plan is provided in the Pension Benefits table under "—Historical Compensation Information" below.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Defined Contribution Plans* 

MSG Entertainment sponsors the Madison Square Garden 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"), a tax-qualified retirement savings plan, for its participating employees, including its executive officers. The Savings Plan is a multiple employer plan to which MSG Sports also contributes as a participating employer. Under the Savings Plan, participants may contribute into their plan accounts a percentage of their eligible pay on a pre-tax basis as well as a percentage of their eligible pay on an after-tax basis. The Savings Plan provides (a) fully-vested matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 4% of eligible pay contributed on a pre-tax basis by participating employees and (b) a discretionary non-elective contribution by MSG Entertainment.

In addition, MSG Entertainment offers the MSG Entertainment Group, LLC Excess Savings Plan (the "Excess Savings Plan"), a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that was retained by MSG Entertainment following the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, to its employees, including its executive officers, whose contributions to the Savings Plan are restricted by the applicable IRS annual compensation limitation and/or the pre-tax income deferral limitation. More information regarding the Excess Savings Plan is provided in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table under "— Historical Compensation Information" below.

Matching contributions made by MSG Entertainment in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 in respect of the Company's NEOs under the Savings Plan are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under "— Historical Compensation Information" below.

***MSG Cares Charitable Matching Gift Program***

Since the 2020 fiscal year, MSG Entertainment's employees, including its named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the MSG Cares Charitable Matching Gifts Program. Under this program, MSG Entertainment matches charitable contributions made by its employees, including the NEOs, to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations of the employee's choice, in an aggregate amount of up to $1,000 per employee for each fiscal year.

***MSG Entertainment's Perquisites***

MSG Entertainment provides certain perquisites to its executive officers as described below. Additional information concerning perquisites provided by MSG Entertainment is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under "— Historical Compensation Information" below. We anticipate that the arrangements described below will continue following the Distribution.

*Car and Driver* 

Mr. Dolan has regular access to cars and drivers, which he is permitted to use for personal use in addition to business purposes. MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports shared these costs equally during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In addition, certain other MSG Entertainment executive officers and members of management have had access to cars and drivers on a limited basis for personal use. To the extent employees used a car and driver for personal use without reimbursement to MSG Entertainment, those employees were imputed compensation for tax purposes.

*Aircraft Arrangements* 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment owned and leased certain aircraft, and also had access to various aircraft through arrangements with various Dolan family entities. Mr. Dolan has been permitted to use MSG Entertainment's aircraft (including aircraft to which MSG Entertainment has access through various dry lease agreements) for personal use. Mr. Dolan is not required to reimburse MSG Entertainment for personal use of MSG Entertainment-owned aircraft. Additionally, Mr. Dolan has access to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
helicopter travel, including for personal travel. Helicopter use has primarily been for commutation and he is not required to reimburse MSG Entertainment for such use. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports shared the costs of Mr. Dolan's personal aircraft and helicopter use equally.

MSG Entertainment is typically reimbursed for the incremental variable costs associated with the personal use of aircraft (except as noted above). To the extent any MSG Entertainment executive officer or other employee of MSG Entertainment used any of the aircraft, including helicopters, for personal travel without reimbursement to MSG Entertainment, they were imputed compensation for tax purposes based on the Standard Industry Fare Level rates that are published biannually by the IRS. For compensation reporting purposes, MSG Entertainment valued the incremental cost of the personal use of the aircraft based on the variable costs incurred by MSG Entertainment net of any reimbursements received from its executive officers. The incremental cost of the use of the aircraft does not include any costs that would have been incurred by MSG Entertainment whether or not the personal trip was taken.

See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship between MSG Entertainment and Us After the Distribution — Aircraft Arrangements" for a description of certain aircraft arrangements that we will enter into with MSG Entertainment prior to the Distribution.

*Executive Security* 

Mr. Dolan participates in MSG Entertainment's executive security program, including services related to cybersecurity and connectivity. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment shared the costs of such participation in their security program equally. Because certain of these costs can be viewed as conveying personal benefits to Mr. Dolan, they are reported as perquisites.

*Other* 

From time to time certain MSG Entertainment employees, including its executive officers (and their guests), have access to tickets to sporting events and other entertainment at MSG Entertainment's venues at no cost, and may also purchase tickets at face value. Attendance at such events is integrally and directly related to the performance of the executive officers' duties, and, as such, MSG Entertainment does not deem the receipt of such tickets to be perquisites.

MSG Entertainment named executive officers may also make incidental use from time to time of certain amenities made available through MSG Entertainment resources, such as food and beverage at MSG Entertainment's nightlife, dining and entertainment venues.

***MSG Entertainment's Post-Termination Compensation***

MSG Entertainment believes that post-termination benefits are integral to its ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers. See "—Employment Agreements" below for a description of the severance arrangements that MSG Entertainment has agreed to provide our NEOs in the event of a qualifying termination of employment from MSG Entertainment.

Under certain circumstances, payments or other benefits may be provided by MSG Entertainment to its employees upon the termination of their employment with MSG Entertainment. These may include payments or other benefits upon a termination by MSG Entertainment without cause, termination by the employee for good reason, other voluntary termination by the employee, retirement, death, disability, or termination following a change in control of MSG Entertainment or following a going-private transaction. With respect to the NEOs, the amounts and terms of such payments and other benefits (including the definition of "cause" and "good reason") are governed by each NEO's employment agreement and any applicable award agreements with MSG Entertainment.

His direct compensation opportunities at MSG Sports are not impacted by the Distribution.

of their total MSG Entertainment compensation: Mr. Dolan — 10%; Mr. Byrnes — 10%; Mr. Haughton —18%; Mr. D'Ambrosio — 26%; and Ms. Zeppetella — 30%.

The 2020 salary information excludes the following amounts paid by The Madison Square Garden Company during the Pre-Distribution Period: Mr. Dolan — $807,692; and Mr. D'Ambrosio — $464,423.

(2) This column reflects a one-time special bonus paid outside of the MPIP to Mr. Byrnes in connection with
forfeited compensation from his previous employer and to Mr. Haughton and Ms. Zeppetella in connection with the commencement of their employment with MSG Entertainment.

(3) This column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of MSG Entertainment restricted stock units and
performance stock units granted to the NEOs, without any reduction for risk of forfeiture, as calculated in accordance with Topic 718 on the date of grant. Under Topic 718, the date of grant for performance stock units is the date the
performance targets are set for such awards, which, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was on June 28, 2022. The assumptions used by MSG Entertainment in calculating these amounts are set forth in Note 17 to the financial statements included in
MSG Entertainment's 2022 Form 10-K. The grant date fair value of the performance stock units is shown at target performance. The number of restricted stock units and performance stock units granted to the NEOs was determined based on the
20-trading day average closing market price on the day prior to the date such awards were approved by the MSG Entertainment Compensation Committee.

For the 2022 figures, this column reflects the value of restricted stock units approved and granted in August 2021 and April 2022 and performance stock units approved in August 2021 and April 2022 and granted for purposes of Topic 718 in June 2022. At the highest level of performance, the value of such 2022 performance stock units on the grant date for purposes of Topic 718 would be: $4,843,171 for Mr. Dolan; $423,812 for Mr. Byrnes; $459,134 for Mr. Haughton; and $417,239 for Mr. D'Ambrosio. With respect to Mr. Dolan, such amounts include awards approved in April 2022 to reflect the increased long-term incentive opportunity (on a non-pro rata basis) as a result of Mr. Dolan's new employment agreement effective August 2021; with respect to Messrs. Byrnes and Haughton, such awards, approved in April 2022, reflect long-term incentive opportunities under their employment agreements (on a non-pro rata basis).

For the 2021 figures, this column reflects the value of restricted stock units and performance stock units granted in August and September 2020 and April 2021. At the highest level of performance, the value of such 2021 performance stock units on the grant date

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
would be: $3,379,808 for Mr. Dolan; and $613,078 for Mr. D'Ambrosio. With respect to Mr. D'Ambrosio, such amounts also include awards granted in April 2021 to reflect an increased long-term incentive opportunity.

For the 2020 figures, this column reflects the value of MSG Entertainment restricted stock units and performance stock units granted in April 2020 in respect of existing MSG Sports awards that were granted by The Madison Square Garden Company in August 2019. With respect to these awards, the value reflected is the pro rata portion of the grant date value of the original MSG Sports award granted in August 2019 by The Madison Square Garden Company, calculated in accordance with Topic 718, based on the stock price of MSG Entertainment's and MSG Sports' Class A Common Stock on the Distribution date of the 2020 Entertainment Distribution. At the highest level of performance, the value of such 2020 MSG Entertainment performance stock units on the grant date would be: $1,268,242 for Mr. Dolan; and $112,753 for Mr. D'Ambrosio.

(4) For the 2022 figures, this column reflects the annual incentive award earned by each NEO under MSG
Entertainment's program with respect to performance during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and paid in September 2022. For the 2021 figures, this column reflects the annual incentive award earned by each NEO under MSG Entertainment's
program with respect to performance during the year ended June 30, 2021 and paid in September 2021. For the 2020 figures, this column reflects the annual incentive award earned by each NEO under MSG Entertainment's program with respect to
performance during the year ended June 30, 2020 and paid in September 2020. With respect to Mr. Dolan, this amount also includes $239,167 paid by MSG Entertainment to MSG Sports, reflecting MSG Entertainment's obligation to pay 75% of the
aggregate annual incentive liability accrued as of the Distribution date of the 2020 Entertainment Distribution. With respect to Mr. D'Ambrosio, these amounts exclude $135,321 paid by MSG Sports to MSG Entertainment, reflecting MSG Sports'
obligation to pay 41% of the liability accrued as of the Distribution date of the 2020 Entertainment Distribution.

(2) Additional information concerning Pension Plans and Postretirement Plan Assumptions is set forth in
Note 16 to MSG Entertainment's financial statements included in its 2022 Form 10-K.

(3) Mr. Dolan does not participate in the Cash Balance Pension Plan.

(4) Messrs. Byrnes, Haughton and D'Ambrosio and Ms. Zeppetella commenced employment with MSG Entertainment
after the Cash Balance Pension Plan was frozen and therefore are not eligible to participate.

MSG Entertainment maintains several benefit plans for its executive officers. The material terms and conditions are discussed below.

*Cash Balance Pension Plan* 

MSG Entertainment sponsors the Cash Balance Pension Plan, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan which was retained by MSG Entertainment in the 2020 Entertainment Distribution. The Cash Balance Pension Plan generally covers regular full-time and part-time non-union employees of MSG Entertainment and certain of its affiliates who have completed one year of service. The Cash Balance Pension Plan was frozen to future benefit accruals effective as of December 31, 2015 (though accrued benefits continue to earn interest credits). A notional account is maintained for each participant under the Cash Balance Pension Plan, which consists of (i) annual allocations made by MSG Entertainment as of the end of each year on behalf of each participant who has completed 800 hours of service during the year that range from 3% to 9% of the participant's compensation, based on the participant's age and (ii) monthly interest credits based on the average of the annual rate of interest on the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds for the months of September, October and November of the prior year. Compensation includes all direct cash compensation received while a participant as part of the participant's primary compensation structure (excluding bonuses, fringe benefits, and other compensation that is not received on a regular basis), and before deductions for elective deferrals, subject to applicable IRS limits.

A participant's interest in the Cash Balance Pension Plan is subject to vesting limitations for the first three years of employment. A participant's account will also vest in full upon his or her termination due to death, disability or retirement after attaining age 65. Upon retirement or other termination of employment with MSG Entertainment, the participant may elect a distribution of the vested portion of the cash balance account. Any amounts remaining in the Cash Balance Pension Plan will continue to be credited with interest until the account is paid. The normal form of benefit payment for an unmarried participant is a single life annuity and the normal form of benefit payment for a married participant is a 50% joint and survivor annuity. The participant, with spousal consent if applicable, can waive the normal form and elect a single life annuity or a lump sum.

*Madison Square Garden 401(k) Savings Plan* 

Under the Savings Plan, a tax-qualified retirement savings plan which was retained by MSG Entertainment after the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, participating employees, including MSG Entertainment's executive

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
officers, may contribute into their plan accounts a percentage of their eligible pay on a pre-tax basis as well as a percentage of their eligible pay on an after-tax basis. MSG Entertainment provides a (a) fully-vested matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 4% of eligible pay contributed by participating employees and (b) discretionary non-elective fully-vested contribution by MSG Entertainment. The Savings Plan is a multiple-employer plan sponsored by MSG Entertainment, to which MSG Sports also contributes for its employees. Prior to the Networks Merger, MSG Networks also contributed for its employees.

*Excess Savings Plan* 

The Excess Savings Plan, which was retained by MSG Entertainment following the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, is an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan that operates in conjunction with MSG Entertainment's tax-qualified Savings Plan. An employee is eligible to participate in the Excess Savings Plan for a calendar year if his or her compensation (as defined in the Savings Plan) in the preceding year exceeded (or would have exceeded, if the employee had been employed for the entire year) the IRS limit on the amount of compensation that can be taken into account in determining contributions under tax-qualified retirement plans ($305,000 in calendar year 2022) and he or she makes an election to participate prior to the beginning of the year. An eligible employee whose contributions to the Savings Plan are limited as a result of this compensation limit or as a result of reaching the maximum 401(k) deferral limit ($20,500, or $27,000 if 50 or over, for calendar year 2022) can continue to make pre-tax contributions under the Excess Savings Plan of up to 4% of his or her eligible pay. In addition, MSG Entertainment provides a (a) fully-vested matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 4% of eligible pay contributed by participating employees and (b) discretionary non-elective fully-vested contribution by MSG Entertainment. Account balances under the Excess Savings Plan are credited monthly with the rate of return earned by the stable value fund offered as an investment alternative under the Savings Plan. Distributions of vested benefits are made in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the participant's termination of employment with MSG Entertainment.

*Our Retirement Benefits* 

Effective as of the Distribution, we will retain the assets and liabilities under the Cash Balance Pension Plan. Additionally, we will be added as a contributing employer of the Savings Plan following the Distribution.

After the Distribution, we will retain the Excess Savings Plan and liabilities for benefits under such plan relating to MSG Entertainment's employees will be assumed by MSG Entertainment. The actuarial present values of the accumulated pension benefits of Messrs. Dolan, Byrnes, Haughton and D'Ambrosio, who have participated in certain of these plans as of June 30, 2022, are reported in the MSG Entertainment Pension Benefits Table and MSG Entertainment Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table herein.

**MSG Entertainment Nonqualified Deferred Compensation**

**Termination and Severance** 

This section describes the payments that would have been received by the NEOs who were employed by MSG Entertainment as of June 30, 2022 (the last business day of MSG Entertainment's 2022 fiscal year) upon various terminations of employment from MSG Entertainment scenarios. The information under "Separation from MSG Entertainment" assumes that each of the NEOs was employed by MSG Entertainment under his or her applicable employment agreement, and his or her employment terminated as of June 30, 2022. This information is presented to illustrate the payments the NEOs would have received from MSG Entertainment under the various termination scenarios. See " — Employment Agreements" for a description of severance arrangements we have agreed to provide certain of our NEOs.

*Separation from MSG Entertainment* 

Payments may be made to MSG Entertainment's executive officers upon the termination of their employment with MSG Entertainment depending upon the circumstances of their termination, which include termination by MSG Entertainment without cause, termination by MSG Entertainment with cause, termination by the officer for good reason, other voluntary termination by the officer, retirement, death, disability, or termination following a change in control of MSG Entertainment or following a going-private transaction. Certain of these circumstances are addressed in the employment agreements between MSG Entertainment and each of its executive officers. In addition, MSG Entertainment award agreements for long-term incentives also address some of these circumstances. The Distribution will not constitute a change in control of MSG Entertainment for purposes of the employment agreements between MSG Entertainment and its executive officers or MSG Entertainment's long-term incentive award agreements.

***Award Agreement Terms in the Event of a Change in Control or Going Private Transaction***

The award agreements governing the restricted stock units of MSG Entertainment provide that upon a change in control or going private transaction, the applicable NEO will be entitled to either (in the successor entity's discretion) (a) cash equal to the unvested restricted stock units multiplied by the per share price paid in the change in control or going private transaction, or (b) only if the successor entity is a publicly-traded company, a replacement restricted stock unit award from the successor entity with the same terms. Any such cash award as provided in clause (a) above would be payable, and any replacement restricted stock unit award as provided in clause (b) above would vest, upon the earliest of (x) the date the restricted stock units were originally scheduled to vest so long as the applicable NEO remains continuously employed, (y) a termination without "cause" or a resignation for "good reason" (as each term is defined in the applicable award agreement), or (z) only if the successor entity elects clause (b) above, upon a resignation without "good reason" that is at least six months, but no more than nine months, following the change in control or going private transaction.

The award agreements governing the performance restricted stock units of MSG Entertainment provide that upon a change in control or going private transaction, the unvested performance stock units will vest at the target level and be payable (i) upon a change in control, regardless of whether the applicable NEO's employment is terminated, or (ii) following a going private transaction if the applicable NEO is employed through July 1, 2022 (in the case of MSG Entertainment awards granted in respect of MSG Sports 2020 fiscal year awards), July 1, 2023 (in the case of fiscal year 2021 awards) or July 1, 2024 (in the case of 2022 fiscal year awards), or is

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
terminated without "cause" or resigns for "good reason" (as each term is defined in the applicable award agreement) prior to such applicable date.

The award agreements governing the stock options of MSG Entertainment provide that upon a change in control or going private transaction, the applicable NEO will be entitled to either (a) cash equal to the number of options multiplied by the excess of the per share price paid in the change in control or going private transaction over the exercise price, or (b) only if the successor entity is a publicly traded company, a replacement option award from the successor entity with the same terms. Any such cash award would be payable, or unvested options would vest, upon the earliest of (x) the date the options were originally scheduled to vest so long as the NEO remains continuously employed, (y) a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason within three years following the change in control or going private transaction, or (z) only if the successor entity elects clause (b) above, upon a resignation without good reason that is at least six months, but no more than nine months, following the change in control or going private transaction. Any stock options that have an exercise price greater than the per share price paid in the change in control or going private transaction may be cancelled for no consideration.

For purposes of the "— Termination and Severance — Award Agreement Terms in the Event of a Change in Control or Going Private Transaction — Benefits Payable as a Result of Termination of Employment by MSG Entertainment Without Cause or for Good Reason Following a Change in Control or Going-Private Transaction" below, we have assumed that the applicable NEO has either been terminated without "cause" or resigned for "good reason" after the close of business on June 30, 2022.

*Quantification of Termination and Severance Payable by MSG Entertainment* 

The following tables set forth a quantification of estimated severance and other benefits payable by MSG Entertainment to the NEOs under various circumstances regarding the termination of their employment. In calculating these amounts, the following was taken into consideration or otherwise assumed:

• Termination of employment from MSG Entertainment occurred after the close of business on June 30, 2022.

• Equity awards (other than stock options) were valued using the closing market price of MSG Entertainment's
Class A Common Stock of $52.62 and MSG Sports' Class A common stock of $151.00 on the NYSE on June 30, 2022.

• Stock options were valued at their intrinsic value equal to the closing market price of MSG Entertainment's
Class A Common Stock of $52.62 and MSG Sports' Class A common stock of $151.00 on the NYSE on June 30, 2022, less the per share exercise price, multiplied by the number of MSG Entertainment shares underlying the stock options.

• We have assumed that the per share price paid in a change in control or going private transaction is equal to the
closing market price of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock of $52.62 and MSG Sports' Class A common stock of $151.00 on the NYSE on June 30, 2022.

• In the event of termination of employment from MSG Entertainment, the payment of certain long-term incentive
awards and other amounts may be delayed, depending upon the terms of each specific MSG Entertainment award agreement, the provisions of the applicable NEO's employment agreement with MSG Entertainment and the applicability of Code
Section 409A. In quantifying aggregate termination payments, the timing of the payments was not taken into account and the value of payments that would be made over time was not discounted, except where otherwise disclosed.

• It was assumed that all MSG Entertainment performance objectives for performance-based awards are achieved (but
not exceeded).

• With respect to Mr. Dolan, it was assumed that on June 30, 2022 he is either simultaneously terminated
from both MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment, or has no continued employment relationship with MSG Sports.

(6) Represents the full vesting of the stock options issued in July 2021 in respect of outstanding MSG Networks
time-based and performance-based options granted to Mr. Dolan by MSG Networks as long-term incentive awards in August 2019, but such options have no value because each award had an exercise price greater than the closing market price of a share
of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock on June 30, 2022.

($25,258), 4,624 units ($243,315), and 7,300 units ($384,126), respectively (no Networks Merger units). Ms. Zeppetella did not have any equity awards outstanding as of June 30, 2022, but would otherwise be entitled to the full vesting of any
unvested restricted stock units. In addition to the amounts included in the table above, Messrs. Dolan and D'Ambrosio would also fully vest in their outstanding MSG Sports restricted stock units, which are: Mr. Dolan, 5,399 MSG Sports

Mr. D'Ambrosio, 1,440 units ($75,773), 6,935 units ($364,920) and 7,300 units ($384,126). Ms. Zeppetella did not have any equity awards outstanding as of June 30, 2022, but would otherwise be entitled to the full vesting of any unvested
performance stock units. In addition to the amounts included in the table above, Messrs. Dolan and D'Ambrosio would also fully vest in their outstanding MSG Sports performance stock units, which are (at target): Mr. Dolan, 16,197 MSG
Sports units ($2,445,747); and Mr. D'Ambrosio, 1,440 MSG Sports Units ($217,440).

(4) Represents the full vesting of the stock options issued in July 2021 in respect of outstanding MSG Networks
time-based and performance-based options granted to Mr. Dolan by MSG Networks as long-term incentive awards in August 2019, but such options have no value because each award had an exercise price greater than the closing market price of a share
of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock on June 30, 2022.

(5) With respect to Mr. D'Ambrosio and Ms. Zeppetella, a termination by MSG Entertainment due to
disability would be treated under their employment agreements as a termination by MSG Entertainment without cause and, therefore, Mr. D'Ambrosio and Ms. Zeppetella would be entitled to the amounts reflected in the table above, as well as

\* The amounts in this table do not include any pension or other vested retirement benefits. 

(1) The information in this table and the footnotes hereto describe amounts payable as a result of certain
terminations of employment by the NEO or MSG Entertainment following a change in control. The amounts payable as a result of termination of employment by the NEO or MSG Entertainment following a going private transaction are generally equal to or
less than the amounts payable as a result of termination of employment by the NEO or MSG Entertainment following a change in control. Notwithstanding the amounts set forth in this table, if any payment otherwise due to any of the NEOs would result
in the imposition of an excise tax under Code Section 4999, then MSG Entertainment would instead pay to the applicable NEO either (a) the amounts set forth in this table, or (b) the maximum amount that could be paid to such NEO
without the imposition of the excise tax, whichever results in a greater amount of after-tax proceeds to such NEO.

(2) As noted in "— Termination and Severance — Award Agreement Terms in the Event of a Change
in Control or Going Private Transaction" above, the amounts in this table assume that the applicable NEO has either been terminated without "cause" or resigned for "good reason" following such a change in control or going
private transaction. The award agreements applicable to stock awards held by the NEOs dictate the terms of the vesting of those awards and any severance or bonus reflected in this table is provided as a result of the terms of the applicable
NEO's employment agreement and its terms related to termination without "cause" or resigned for "good reason," and such severance is not enhanced by the change of control or going private transaction. For additional
information, see "— Termination and Severance — Award Agreement Terms in the Event of a Change in Control or Going Private Transaction" above.

(3) Represents severance equal to two times the sum of his annual base salary and annual target bonus.

(4) Represents severance equal to the sum of his or her annual base salary and annual target bonus.

(5) Represents a pro rata annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurred, payable to the same extent
as annual bonuses are paid to MSG Entertainment's other named executive officers under MSG Entertainment's program without regard to personal performance objectives. Due to the timing of Ms. Zeppetella's commencement of
employment with MSG Entertainment, she was not eligible for an annual bonus for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

(6) Represents the full vesting of the restricted stock units issued in April 2020 in respect of outstanding MSG
Sports restricted stock unit awards granted by The Madison Square Garden Company prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the 2021 fiscal year grants of restricted stock units, the restricted stock units issued in July 2021 in respect of
outstanding MSG Networks restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards held at the time of the Networks Merger, and the 2022 fiscal year grants of restricted stock units, as applicable, which are: Mr. Dolan, 5,399 units ($284,095), 26,061
units ($1,371,330), 56,579 units ($2,977,187) and 84,736 units ($4,458,808), respectively; Mr. Byrnes, 7,415 units ($390,177) (2022 fiscal year only); Mr. Haughton, 8,033 units ($422,696) (2022 fiscal year only); and Mr. D'Ambrosio, 480 units
($25,258), 4,624 units ($243,315), and 7,300 units ($384,126), respectively (no Networks Merger units). Ms. Zeppetella did not have any equity awards outstanding as of June 30, 2022, but would otherwise be entitled to the full vesting of any
unvested restricted stock units. In addition to the amounts included in the table above, Messrs. Dolan and D'Ambrosio would also fully vest in their outstanding MSG Sports restricted stock units, which are: Mr. Dolan, 5,399 MSG Sports
units ($815,249); and Mr. D'Ambrosio, 480 MSG Sports units ($72,480).

(7) Represents the full vesting at target of the performance stock units issued in April 2020 in respect of
outstanding MSG Sports performance stock unit awards granted by The Madison Square Garden Company prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, and the 2021 and 2022 fiscal year grants of performance stock units, as applicable, which are: Mr. Dolan,
16,197 units ($852,286), 39,091 units ($2,056,968) and 84,736 units ($4,458,808), respectively; Mr. Byrnes, 7,415 units ($390,177) (2022 fiscal year only); Mr. Haughton, 8,033 units ($422,696) (2022 fiscal year only); and
Mr. D'Ambrosio, 1,440 units ($75,773), 6,935 units ($364,920) and 7,300 units ($384,126). Ms. Zeppetella did not have any equity awards outstanding as of June 30, 2022, but would otherwise be entitled to the full vesting of any unvested
performance stock units. In addition to the amounts included in the table above, Messrs. Dolan and D'Ambrosio would also fully vest in their outstanding MSG Sports performance stock units, which are (at target): Mr. Dolan, 16,197 MSG
Sports units ($2,445,747); and Mr. D'Ambrosio, 1,440 MSG Sports units ($217,440).

(8) Represents the full vesting of the stock options issued in July 2021 in respect of outstanding MSG Networks
time-based and performance-based options granted to Mr. Dolan by MSG Networks as long-term incentive awards in August 2019, but such options have no value because each award had an exercise price greater than the closing market price of a share
of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock on June 30, 2022.

**Our Equity Compensation Plan Information** 

We plan to adopt an Employee Stock Plan (the "Employee Stock Plan") and a Director Stock Plan, which are discussed below.

*Our Employee Stock Plan* 

Prior to the Distribution, we expect to adopt an Employee Stock Plan, subject to the approval of MSG Entertainment as our sole shareholder at such time. A form of the Employee Stock Plan is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement, of which this information statement forms a part, that we have filed with the SEC, and the following description of the Employee Stock Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employee Stock Plan.

*Overview* 

The purpose of the Employee Stock Plan will be to (i) compensate employees and eligible service providers of the Company and its affiliates who are responsible for the management and growth of the business of the Company and its affiliates, and (ii) advance the interest of the Company by encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a personal proprietary interest in the Company by employees and such service providers upon whose judgment and keen interest the Company and its affiliates are largely dependent for the successful conduct of their operations. It is anticipated that the acquisition of such a proprietary interest in the Company will stimulate the efforts of these employees and such service providers on behalf of the Company and its affiliates, and strengthen their desire to remain with the Company and its affiliates. It is also expected that the opportunity to acquire such a proprietary interest will enable the Company and its affiliates to attract and retain desirable personnel and will better align the interests of participating employees and service providers with those of the Company's stockholders. The Employee Stock Plan will provide for grants of incentive stock options (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards (collectively, "Awards"). The Employee Stock Plan is expected to terminate, and no more Awards will be granted, after the ten year anniversary of the Distribution (unless sooner terminated by our Board or our Compensation Committee). The termination of the Employee Stock Plan will not affect previously granted Awards.

*Shares Subject to the Employee Stock Plan; Other Limitations* 

The Employee Stock Plan will be administered by the Company's Compensation Committee. Awards may be granted under the Employee Stock Plan to such employees and other eligible service providers of the Company and its affiliates as the Compensation Committee may determine. An "affiliate" will be defined in the Employee Stock Plan to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
mean any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company or any other affiliate and will also include any entity in which the Company owns at least five percent of the outstanding equity interests. It is expected that the total number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Employee Stock Plan may not exceed an aggregate of 11,000,000, which may be either treasury shares or authorized and unissued shares. To the extent that (i) an Award is paid, settled or exchanged or expires, lapses, terminates or is cancelled for any reason without the issuance of shares, (ii) any shares under an Award are not issued because of payment or withholding obligations or (iii) restricted shares revert back to the Company prior to the lapse of the restrictions or are applied by the Company for purposes of tax withholding obligations, then it is expected that the Compensation Committee will also be able to grant Awards with respect to such shares or restricted shares. Awards payable only in cash or property other than shares will not reduce the aggregate remaining number of shares with respect to which Awards may be made under the Employee Stock Plan and shares relating to any other Awards that are settled in cash or property other than shares, when settled, will be added back to the aggregate remaining number of shares with respect to which Awards may be made under the Employee Stock Plan. Any shares underlying Awards that the Company becomes obligated to make through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired entity will not count against the shares available to be delivered pursuant to Awards under the Employee Stock Plan. No single individual may be issued Awards during any one calendar year for, or that relate to, a number of shares exceeding 750,000. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction or event affects shares such that the failure to make an adjustment to an Award would not appropriately protect the rights represented by the Award in accordance with the essential intent and principles thereof (each such event, an "Adjustment Event"), then it is expected that the Compensation Committee will, in such manner as it may determine to be equitable in its sole discretion, adjust any or all of the terms of an outstanding Award (including, without limitation, the number of shares covered by such outstanding Award, the type of property to which the Award is subject and the exercise price of such Award).

*Awards* 

It is expected that all employees and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates who are eligible under General Instruction A.1(a) to Form S-8, excluding any member of the Board who is not a current employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, will be eligible to receive Awards under the Employee Stock Plan. Under the Employee Stock Plan, the Company will be able to grant options and stock appreciation rights, which will be exercisable at a price determined by the Compensation Committee on the date of the Award grant, which price will be no less than the fair market value of a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date the option or stock appreciation right is granted. Other than in the case of the death of a participant, such options and stock appreciation rights may be exercised for a term fixed by the Compensation Committee but no longer than ten years from the date of grant. An award agreement may provide that, in the event the participant dies while the option or stock appreciation right is outstanding, the option or stock appreciation right will remain outstanding until the first anniversary of the participant's death, whether or not such first anniversary occurs after such ten-year period. Upon its exercise, a stock appreciation right will be settled (and an option may be settled, in the Compensation Committee's discretion) for an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the stock appreciation right (or option). The Employee Stock Plan will prohibit (1) repricing options and stock appreciation rights (other than in connection with Adjustment Events), (2) repurchasing options or stock appreciation rights for cash when the exercise price equals or exceeds the fair market value of a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock or (3) option or stock appreciation right automatic reload provisions, in each case without the approval of the Company's stockholders.

It is expected that the Employee Stock Plan will also permit the Company to grant restricted shares and restricted stock units. A restricted share is a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock that is registered in the participant's name, but that is subject to certain transfer and/or forfeiture restrictions for a period of time as specified in the applicable award agreement. The participant of a restricted share will have the rights of a

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
stockholder, subject to any restrictions and conditions specified by the Compensation Committee in the participant's award agreement. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, all ordinary cash dividends paid upon any restricted share prior to its vesting will be retained by the Company for the account of the relevant participant and upon vesting will be paid to the relevant participant.

A restricted stock unit is an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock (or cash or other property) at a future date upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified by the Compensation Committee in the award agreement. Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, a restricted stock unit will also carry a dividend equivalent right representing an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay to the relevant participant, upon the vesting of the restricted stock unit, an amount equal to the ordinary cash dividends that would have been paid upon any share underlying a restricted stock unit had such shares been issued.

The Compensation Committee is also expected to be able to grant other equity-based or equity-related awards to participants subject to terms and conditions it may specify. These awards may entail the transfer of shares or payment in cash based on the value of shares.

It is expected that under the Employee Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee will have the authority, in its discretion, to add performance criteria as a condition to any participant's ability to exercise a stock option or stock appreciation right, or the vesting or payment of any restricted shares or restricted stock units, granted under the Employee Stock Plan. Additionally, the Employee Stock Plan will specify certain performance criteria that may, in the case of certain executive officers of the Company, be conditions precedent to the vesting of awards granted to such executives under the Employee Stock Plan.

*Amendment; Termination* 

It is expected that the Board or the Compensation Committee may discontinue the Employee Stock Plan at any time and from time to time may amend or revise the terms of the Employee Stock Plan or any award agreement, as permitted by applicable law, except that it may not (a) make any amendment or revision in a manner unfavorable to a participant (other than if immaterial), without the consent of the participant or (b) make any amendment or revision without the approval of the stockholders of the Company if such approval is required by the rules of the stock exchange on which the Company's shares are listed. The consent of the participant will not be required solely pursuant to the previous sentence in respect of any adjustment made in light of an Adjustment Event, except to the extent the terms of an award agreement expressly refer to an Adjustment Event, in which case such terms will not be amended in a manner unfavorable to a participant (other than if immaterial) without such participant's consent.

*U.S. Federal Tax Implications of Certain Awards Under the Plan* 

The following summary generally describes the principal Federal (but not state and local) income tax consequences of certain awards that are expected to be permitted under the Employee Stock Plan. It is general in nature and is not intended to cover all tax consequences that may apply to a particular participant or the Company. The provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder relating to these matters are complex and their impact in any one case may depend upon the particular circumstances.

*Incentive Stock Options* 

A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an incentive stock option (an "ISO") or upon the exercise of an ISO. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid will be included in the participant's alternative minimum taxable income. Whether the participant is subject to the alternative minimum tax will depend on his or her particular circumstances. The

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
participant's basis in the shares received will be equal to the exercise price paid, and the holding period in such shares will begin on the day following the date of exercise. If a participant disposes of the shares on or after (i) the second anniversary of the date of grant of the ISO and (ii) the first anniversary of the date of exercise of the ISO (the "statutory holding period"), the participant will recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and his or her basis in the shares.

*Nonstatutory Stock Options* 

For the grant of an option that is not intended to be (or does not qualify as) an ISO, a participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of such an option (a "nonstatutory stock option"). Upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid is taxable to a participant as ordinary income, and such amount is generally deductible by the Company. This amount of income will be subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes. A participant's basis in the shares received will equal the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and a participant's holding period in such shares will begin on the day following the date of exercise.

*Restricted Stock* 

A participant will not be subject to tax upon receipt of an award of shares subject to forfeiture conditions and transfer restrictions (the "restrictions") under the Employee Stock Plan unless the participant makes the election referred to below. Upon lapse of the restrictions, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of lapse (less any amount the participant may have paid for the shares), and such income will be subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes. A participant's basis in the shares received will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the restrictions lapse, and a participant's holding period in such shares begins on the day after the restrictions lapse. If any dividends are paid on such shares prior to the lapse of the restrictions they will be includible in a participant's income during the restricted period as additional compensation (and not as dividend income) and will be subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes.

If permitted by the applicable award agreement, a participant may elect, within thirty days after the date of the grant of the restricted stock, to recognize immediately (as ordinary income) the fair market value of the shares awarded (less any amount a participant may have paid for the shares), determined on the date of grant (without regard to the restrictions). Such income will be subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes at such time. This election is made pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If a participant makes this election, the participant's holding period will begin the day after the date of grant, dividends paid on the shares will be subject to the normal rules regarding distributions on stock, and no additional income will be recognized by the participant upon the lapse of the restrictions. However, if the participant forfeits the restricted shares before the restrictions lapse, no deduction or capital loss will be available to the participant (even though the participant previously recognized income with respect to such forfeited shares).

In the taxable year in which a participant recognizes ordinary income on account of shares awarded to the participant, the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of income recognized by the participant. In the event that the restricted shares are forfeited by the participant after having made the Section 83(b) election referred to above, the Company generally will include in our income the amount of our original deduction.

*Stock Appreciation Rights* 

A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of a stock appreciation right. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, an amount equal to the cash and/or the fair market value (measured on the date of exercise) of shares receivable by the participant in respect of a stock appreciation right will be taxable to the participant as

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
ordinary income, and such amount generally will be deductible by the Company. This amount of income will be subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes. A participant's basis in any shares received will be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise, and a participant's holding period in such shares will begin on the day following the date of exercise.

*Restricted Stock Units* 

A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of a restricted stock unit. Upon vesting of a restricted stock unit, the fair market value of the shares covered by the award on the vesting date will be subject to employment taxes. Upon distribution of the shares and/or cash underlying a restricted stock unit, a participant will recognize as ordinary income an amount equal to the cash and/or fair market value (measured on the Distribution date) of the shares received, and such amount will generally be deductible by the Company. This amount of income will generally be subject to income tax withholding on the date of distribution. A participant's basis in any shares received will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of distribution, and a participant's holding period in such shares will begin on the date of distribution. If any dividend equivalent amounts are paid to a participant, they will be includible in the participant's income as additional compensation (and not as dividend income) and will be subject to income and employment tax withholding.

*Disposition of Shares* 

Unless stated otherwise above, upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired under any of the preceding awards, a participant will recognize capital gain or loss based upon the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and the participant's basis in the shares, and such amount will be long-term capital gain or loss if such shares were held for more than 12 months.

*Our Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors* 

Prior to the Distribution, we expect to adopt the Director Stock Plan, subject to the approval of MSG Entertainment as our sole shareholder at such time. A form of the Director Stock Plan is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement, of which this information statement forms a part, that we have filed with the SEC, and the following description of the Director Stock Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Director Stock Plan.

*Overview* 

We believe that the Company's ability to attract and retain capable persons as non-employee directors will be enhanced if it can provide its non-employee directors with equity-based awards and that the Company will benefit from encouraging a sense of proprietorship of such persons stimulating the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company. The Director Stock Plan will provide for potential grants of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units, restricted shares and other equity-based awards (collectively, "Director Awards") to our non-employee directors. The Director Stock Plan is expected to terminate, and no more Director Awards will be granted, after the ten year anniversary of the Distribution (unless sooner terminated by our Board or our Compensation Committee). The termination of the Director Stock Plan will not affect previously granted Director Awards.

*Shares Subject to the Director Stock Plan; Other Limitations* 

The Director Stock Plan will be administered by the Company's Compensation Committee. The total number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Director Awards under the Director Stock Plan may not exceed an aggregate of 750,000 shares, which may be either treasury shares or authorized and unissued shares. To the extent that (i) a Director Award is paid, settled or exchanged or expires, lapses, terminates or is cancelled for any reason without the issuance of shares or (ii) any shares under a Director Award are not issued because of payment or withholding obligations, then it is expected that the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Compensation Committee will also be able to grant Director Awards with respect to such shares. Director Awards payable only in cash or property other than shares will not reduce the aggregate remaining number of shares with respect to which Director Awards may be made under the Director Stock Plan and shares relating to any other Director Awards that are settled in cash or property other than shares, when settled, will be added back to the aggregate remaining number of shares with respect to which Director Awards may be made under the Director Stock Plan. Any shares underlying Director Awards that the Company becomes obligated to make through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired entity will not count against the shares available to be delivered pursuant to Director Awards under the Director Stock Plan. In the event that any Adjustment Event affects shares such that the failure to make an adjustment to a Director Award would not appropriately protect the rights represented by the Director Award in accordance with the essential intent and principles thereof, then it is expected that the Compensation Committee will, in such manner as it may determine to be equitable in its sole discretion, be able to adjust any or all of the terms of an outstanding Director Award (including, without limitation, the number of shares covered by such outstanding Director Award, the type of property to which the Director Award is subject and the exercise price of such Director Award).

*Director Awards* 

It is expected that under the Director Stock Plan, the Company will be able to grant stock options to participants. The options will be exercisable at a price determined by the Compensation Committee on the date of the Director Award grant, which price will be no less than the fair market value of a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date the option is granted, and will otherwise be subject to such terms and conditions as specified by the Compensation Committee, provided that, unless determined otherwise by the Compensation Committee, such options will be fully vested and exercisable on the date of grant. Each option granted pursuant to the Director Stock Plan will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of ten years following the date upon which the option is granted and (ii) a period fixed by the Compensation Committee in the award agreement; however, an award agreement may provide that in the event that a participant dies while an option is exercisable, the option will remain exercisable by the participant's estate or beneficiary only until the first anniversary of the participant's date of death and whether or not such first anniversary occurs prior to or following the expiration of the relevant period referred to above. It is expected that upon its exercise, an option may be settled, in the Compensation Committee's discretion, for a cash amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the option. The Director Stock Plan will prohibit (1) repricing options and stock appreciation rights (other than in connection with Adjustment Events), (2) repurchasing options or stock appreciation rights for cash when the exercise price equals or exceeds the fair market value of a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock or (3) option or stock appreciation right automatic reload provisions, in each case without the approval of the Company's stockholders.

The Company is also expected to be able to grant restricted stock units to participants. A restricted stock unit is an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of the Company's Class A Common Stock (or cash or other property) at a future date upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified by the Compensation Committee in the award agreement. Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, such restricted stock units will be fully vested on the date of grant and will also carry a dividend equivalent right representing an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay to the relevant participant an amount equal to the ordinary cash dividends that would have been paid upon any share underlying a restricted stock unit had such shares been issued. If a restricted stock unit is not fully vested at the date of grant, the dividend equivalent right will not apply until such restricted stock unit is vested.

It is expected that the Compensation Committee will be permitted to grant other equity-based or equity-related awards (including, without limitation, restricted shares, unrestricted shares and share appreciation awards) to non-employee directors subject to terms and conditions it may specify. These awards may entail the transfer of shares or payment in cash based on the value of shares.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Amendment; Termination* 

It is expected that the Board or the Compensation Committee may discontinue the Director Stock Plan at any time and from time to time may amend or revise the terms of the Director Stock Plan or any award agreement, as permitted by applicable law, except that it may not (a) make any amendment or revision in a manner unfavorable to a participant (other than if immaterial), without the consent of the participant or (b) make any amendment or revision without the approval of the stockholders of the Company if such approval is required by the rules of the stock exchange on which the Company's shares are listed. Consent of the participant will not be required solely pursuant to the previous sentence in respect of any adjustment made in light of a Director Stock Plan Adjustment Event, except to the extent the terms of an award agreement expressly refer to a Director Stock Plan Adjustment Event, in which case such terms will not be amended in a manner unfavorable to a participant (other than if immaterial) without such participant's consent.

*U.S. Federal Tax Implications of Options and Restricted Stock Units Under the Director Stock Plan* 

The following summary generally describes the principal Federal (but not state and local) income tax consequences of the issuance and exercise of options and restricted stock units that it is expected would be permitted under the Director Stock Plan. It is general in nature and is not intended to cover all tax consequences that may apply to a particular participant or the Company. The provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder relating to these matters are complex and subject to change and their impact in any one case may depend upon the particular circumstances.

A non-employee director will not realize any income, and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction, at the time that a stock option is granted under the Director Stock Plan. Upon exercising an option, a non-employee director will realize ordinary income (not as capital gain), and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, in an amount equal to the fair market value on the exercise date of the shares subject to the option over the exercise price of the option. The non-employee director will have a basis in the shares received as a result of the exercise, for purposes of computing capital gain or loss, equal to the fair market value of those shares on the exercise date and the non-employee director's holding period in the shares received will commence on the day after the date of exercise. If an option is settled by the Company in cash, shares or a combination thereof, the non-employee directors will recognize ordinary income at the time of settlement equal to the fair market value of such cash, shares or combination thereof, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.

A non-employee director will not realize any income, and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction, at the time that a restricted stock unit is granted under the Director Stock Plan or at the time that a restricted stock unit vests. Upon payment or settlement of a restricted stock unit award in our Class A Common Stock or cash, the non-employee director will recognize ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair market value of any Class A Common Stock or cash received.

**Treatment of Outstanding Awards** 

MSG Entertainment has previously issued options to purchase its MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock. In connection with the Distribution, each MSG Entertainment option will become two options: one will be an option to acquire MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and one an option to acquire our Class A Common Stock. We expect that options with respect to our Class A Common Stock will be issued under the Employee Stock Plan. The existing exercise price will be allocated between the existing MSG Entertainment options and our new options based upon the weighted average price of each of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and our Class A Common Stock over the ten trading days immediately following the Distribution as reported by Bloomberg, and the underlying share amount will take into account the one-to-one distribution ratio (i.e., one share of our common stock will be issued for every one share of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock). The MSG Entertainment options and our new options will not be exercisable during a period beginning on a date prior to the Distribution determined by MSG Entertainment in its sole discretion, and continuing until the exercise prices of the MSG Entertainment options and our new options are determined after the Distribution, or such longer period as

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
MSG Entertainment or we determine is necessary with respect to our and MSG Entertainment's respective awards. Other than the split of the MSG Entertainment options and the allocation of the existing exercise price, upon issuance of our new options there will be no additional adjustment to the existing MSG Entertainment options in connection with the Distribution and the terms of each employee's applicable MSG Entertainment award agreement will continue to govern the MSG Entertainment options. The options that we issue in respect of outstanding MSG Entertainment stock options will be affected by a change in control or going private transaction of the Company, MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports, as set forth in the terms of the award agreement.

MSG Entertainment has previously issued restricted stock units and performance stock units to its employees, which represent unfunded, unsecured rights to receive shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock (or cash or other property) at a future date upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified by MSG Entertainment's Compensation Committee in the award agreement. In connection with the Distribution, each holder of an employee restricted stock unit will receive one Company restricted stock unit in respect of every one MSG Entertainment restricted stock unit owned on the record date and continue to be entitled to a share of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock (or cash or other property) for each MSG Entertainment restricted stock unit in accordance with the MSG Entertainment award agreement. Additionally, each holder of an employee performance stock unit will receive one Company performance stock unit (at target performance) in respect of every one MSG Entertainment performance stock unit (at target performance) owned on the record date and continue to be entitled to a share of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock (or cash or other property) for each MSG Entertainment performance stock unit in accordance with the MSG Entertainment award agreement. The performance conditions applicable to MSG Entertainment performance stock units and Company performance stock units that have a performance period ending in 2023 will be equitably adjusted to reflect the Distribution in order to measure the achievement of the consolidated performance of MSG Entertainment and the Company over the performance period. The performance conditions applicable to MSG Entertainment performance stock units and Company performance stock units that have a performance period ending after 2023 will be equitably adjusted so that the performance conditions relate solely to whichever company employs the holder of the award as of the Distribution.

Our restricted stock units and performance stock units will be issued under our Employee Stock Plan and will be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the MSG Entertainment award except as described above. Except as described above, there will be no adjustment to the existing MSG Entertainment restricted stock units or MSG Entertainment performance stock units in connection with the Distribution and the terms of each employee's applicable award agreement will continue to govern the MSG Entertainment award. The restricted stock units and performance stock units that we issue in respect of outstanding MSG Entertainment awards will be affected by a change in control or going private transaction of the Company, MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports, as set forth in the terms of the award agreement.

MSG Entertainment has previously issued restricted stock units to its non-employee directors which represent unfunded, unsecured rights to receive shares of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock (or cash or other property) at a future date. Such restricted stock units were fully vested on the date of grant. In connection with the Distribution, each holder of a director restricted stock unit will receive one share of our Class A Common Stock in respect of every one MSG Entertainment restricted stock unit owned on the record date and continue to be entitled to a share of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock (or cash or other property) in accordance with the award agreement. Such shares of Company Class A Common Stock will be issued under our Director Stock Plan.

With respect to outstanding equity awards, the Company, MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports will not be regarded as competitive entities of each other for purposes of any non-compete provisions contained in the applicable award agreements. With respect to all outstanding MSG Entertainment awards (and our awards issued in connection with such awards) holders of such awards will continue to vest so long as they remain employed by the Company, MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports or affiliates of such entities, provided that an employee who moves between the Company (or one of its subsidiaries), MSG Entertainment (or one of its subsidiaries) or MSG Sports (or one of its subsidiaries) at a time when the applicable entities are no longer affiliates will not continue to vest in such awards and such change will constitute a termination of employment for purposes of the award agreement.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

**Introduction** 

Following the Distribution, the Company and MSG Entertainment will each be controlled by the Dolan Family Group. The Dolan Family Group also controls MSG Sports and AMC Networks. For purposes of governing the ongoing relationships between the Company and MSG Entertainment, respectively, after the Distribution, we will enter into certain agreements with those companies prior to the Distribution.

**Relationship Between MSG Entertainment and Us After the Distribution** 

Following the Distribution, we will be a public company and MSG Entertainment will have a continuing approximately 33% common stock ownership interest in us in the form of Class A Common Stock. MSG Entertainment will not own any of our Class B Common Stock following the Distribution. As described under "The Distribution — Results of the Distribution," both MSG Entertainment and Spinco will be under the control of Charles F. Dolan, members of his family and certain related family entities immediately following the Distribution. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information," "Combined Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and Combined Statements of Operations for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 — Notes to Combined Financial Statements — Note 19, Related Party Transactions" for information concerning historical intercompany transactions between us and MSG Entertainment. MSG Entertainment is required by applicable tax rules to dispose of all of the retained shares as soon as practicable consistent with the business purposes for the retention, and expects to dispose of such retained shares within one year, subject to market conditions.

For purposes of governing the ongoing relationships between MSG Entertainment and us after the Distribution and to provide for an orderly transition, MSG Entertainment and Spinco will enter into the agreements described in this section prior to the Distribution.

Certain of the agreements summarized in this section will be filed prior to the Distribution as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this information statement forms a part, that we have filed with the SEC, and the following summaries of those agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements that will be filed prior to the Distribution.

*Distribution Agreement* 

We will enter into a Distribution Agreement with MSG Entertainment as part of a series of transactions pursuant to which we have acquired or will acquire prior to the Distribution the subsidiaries, business and other assets of MSG Entertainment that constitute our business.

Under the Distribution Agreement, MSG Entertainment will distribute approximately 67% of our common stock to its common stockholders.

Under the Distribution Agreement, MSG Entertainment will provide us with indemnities with respect to liabilities, damages, costs and expenses arising out of any of: (i) MSG Entertainment's businesses (other than business of ours); (ii) certain identified claims or proceedings; (iii) any breach by MSG Entertainment of its obligations under the Distribution Agreement; (iv) any untrue statement or omission in the registration statement, of which this information statement forms a part, or in this information statement relating to MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries; and (v) indemnification obligations we may have to the NBA or NHL that result from acts or omissions of MSG Entertainment. We will provide MSG Entertainment with indemnities with respect to liabilities, damages, costs and expenses arising out of any of (i) its businesses; (ii) any breach by us of its obligations under the Distribution Agreement; (iii) any untrue statement or omission in the registration statement, of which this information statement forms a part, or in this information statement other than any such statement or omission relating to MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries; and (iv) indemnification obligations MSG Entertainment may have to the NBA or NHL that result from acts or omissions of the Company.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
In the Distribution Agreement, we will release MSG Entertainment from any claims we might have arising out of:

• the management of the business and affairs of MSG Entertainment's Entertainment business segment (excluding
MSG Sphere) on or prior to the Distribution;

• the terms of the Distribution, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and the other agreements entered into in connection with the Distribution; and

• any decisions that have been made, or actions taken, relating to MSG Entertainment's Entertainment business
segment (excluding MSG Sphere) or the Distribution.

Additionally, in the Distribution Agreement, MSG Entertainment will release us from any claims MSG Entertainment might have arising out of:

• the management of the businesses and affairs of MSG Entertainment's MSG Networks and Tao Group Hospitality
business segments or related to the MSG Sphere business on or prior to the Distribution;

• the terms of the Distribution and the other agreements entered into in connection with the Distribution; and

• any decisions that have been made, or actions taken, relating to the Distribution.

The Distribution Agreement will also provide that MSG Entertainment has the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether to proceed with the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions to effect the Distribution and the timing of and satisfaction of conditions to the consummation of the Distribution.

The Distribution Agreement will also provide for access to records and information, cooperation in defending litigation, as well as methods of resolution for certain disputes.

*Transition Services Agreement* 

We will enter into a Transition Services Agreement with MSG Entertainment under which, in exchange for the fees specified in such agreement, the Company will agree to provide certain corporate and other services to MSG Entertainment, including with respect to such areas as information technology, accounts payable, payroll, tax, certain legal functions, human resources, insurance and risk management, government affairs, investor relations, corporate communications, benefit plan administration and reporting, and internal audit functions as well as certain marketing functions. MSG Entertainment similarly will agree to provide certain transition services to the Company. The Company and MSG Entertainment, as parties receiving services under the agreement, will agree to indemnify the party providing services for losses incurred by such party that arise out of or are otherwise in connection with the provision by such party of services under the agreement, except to the extent that such losses result from the providing party's gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under the agreement. Similarly, each party providing services under the agreement will agree to indemnify the party receiving services for losses incurred by such party that arise out of or are otherwise in connection with the indemnifying party's provision of services under the agreement if such losses result from the providing party's gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under the agreement.

*Tax Disaffiliation Agreement* 

We will enter into a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement with MSG Entertainment that will govern MSG Entertainment's and our respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes and tax benefits, the filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax matters. References in this summary description of the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement to the terms "tax" or "taxes" mean taxes as well as any interest, penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts in respect of such taxes.

We and our eligible subsidiaries currently join with MSG Entertainment in the filing of certain consolidated, combined, and unitary returns for state, local, and other applicable tax purposes. However, for periods (or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
portions thereof) beginning after the Distribution, we generally will not join with MSG Entertainment or any of its subsidiaries (as determined after the Distribution) in the filing of any federal, state, local or other applicable consolidated, combined or unitary tax returns.

Under the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, with certain exceptions, MSG Entertainment will be generally responsible for all of our U.S. federal, state, local and other applicable income taxes for any taxable period or portion of such period ending on or before the Distribution date. We will be generally responsible for all taxes that are attributable to us or one of our subsidiaries after the Distribution date.

For any tax year, we will be generally responsible for filing all separate company tax returns that relate to us or one of our subsidiaries and that do not also include MSG Entertainment or any of its subsidiaries. MSG Entertainment will be generally responsible for filing all separate company tax returns that relate to MSG Entertainment or its subsidiaries (other than tax returns that will be filed by us), and for filing consolidated, combined or unitary returns that include (i) one or more of MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries and (ii) one or more of us and our subsidiaries. Where possible, we will waive the right to carry back any losses, credits, or similar items to periods ending prior to or on the Distribution date; however, if we cannot waive the right, we will be entitled to receive the resulting refund or credit, net of any taxes incurred by MSG Entertainment with respect to the refund or credit.

Generally, we will have the authority to conduct all tax proceedings, including tax audits, relating to taxes or any adjustment to taxes for which we are responsible for filing a return under the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, and MSG Entertainment will have the authority to conduct all tax proceedings, including tax audits, relating to taxes or any adjustment to taxes for which MSG Entertainment will be responsible for filing a return under the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement. However, if one party acknowledges a liability to indemnify the other party for a tax to which such proceeding relates, and provides evidence to the other party of its ability to make such payment, the first-mentioned party will have the authority to conduct such proceeding. The Tax Disaffiliation Agreement will further provide for cooperation between MSG Entertainment and the Company with respect to tax matters, the exchange of information and the retention of records that may affect the tax liabilities of the parties to the agreement.

Finally, the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement will require that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries will take, or fail to take, any action where such action, or failure to act, would be inconsistent with or preclude the Distribution from qualifying as a tax-free transaction to MSG Entertainment and to its stockholders under Section 355 of the Code, or would otherwise cause holders of MSG Entertainment stock receiving our stock in the Distribution to be taxed as a result of the Distribution and certain transactions undertaken in connection with the Distribution. Additionally, for the two-year period following the Distribution, we will be restricted from engaging in certain activities that may jeopardize the tax-free treatment of the Distribution to MSG Entertainment and its stockholders, unless we receive MSG Entertainment's consent or otherwise obtain a ruling from the IRS or a legal opinion, in either case reasonably satisfactory to MSG Entertainment, that the activity will not alter the tax-free status of the Distribution to MSG Entertainment and its stockholders. Such restricted activities include:

• entering into any transaction pursuant to which all or a significant portion of our shares or assets would be
acquired, whether by merger or otherwise, unless certain tests are met;

• issuing equity securities, if any such issuances would, together with certain other transactions, constitute 50%
or more of the voting power or value of our capital stock;

• certain repurchases of our common shares;

• ceasing to actively conduct our business;

• amendments to our organizational documents (i) affecting the relative voting rights of our stock or
(ii) converting one class of our stock to another;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• liquidating or partially liquidating; and

• taking any other action that prevents the Distribution and certain related transactions from being tax-free.

Moreover, we will be required to indemnify MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries, directors and officers for any taxes, resulting from action or failure to act, if such action or failure to act precludes the Distribution from qualifying as a tax-free transaction (including taxes imposed as a result of a violation of the restrictions set forth above).

*Employee Matters Agreement* 

We will enter into an employee matters agreement (the "Employee Matters Agreement") with MSG Entertainment that allocates assets, liabilities and responsibilities with respect to certain employee compensation and benefit plans and programs and certain other related matters upon completion of the Distribution. In general, MSG Entertainment employees currently participate in various of our retirement, health and welfare, and other employee benefit plans. After the Distribution, it is anticipated that MSG Entertainment employees will generally participate in similar plans and arrangements established and maintained by MSG Entertainment; however, MSG Entertainment may continue to be a participating company in certain of our employee benefit plans during a transition period. Effective as of the Distribution date, we and MSG Entertainment generally will each hold responsibility for our respective employees and compensation plans.

For a description of the impact of the Distribution on holders of MSG Entertainment options, restricted stock units and performance stock units, see "Executive Compensation — Treatment of Outstanding Awards."

*Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement* 

See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a description of the Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into between MSG Entertainment and the Company.

*Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility* 

Prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the Distribution, the DDTL Lender is expected to enter into the DDTL Facility with the DDTL Borrower. The DDTL Facility is expected to provide for a $65 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility for the DDTL Borrower.

The DDTL Facility will mature and any unused commitments thereunder will expire 18 months after the effective date thereof. Borrowings under the DDTL Facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to either, at the option of the DDTL Borrower, (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin, or (b) Term SOFR plus 0.10%, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is expected to be equal to the applicable margin under the National Properties Facilities plus 1.00% per annum. The DDTL Borrower would also be required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the daily unused commitments under the DDTL Facility at a rate equal to the unused commitment fee rate under the National Properties Facilities plus 0.10% per annum. All interest and commitment fees accruing prior to January 1, 2024 will be payable in kind by capitalizing and adding such interest or fee to the outstanding principal amount of the loans. All interest and commitment fees accruing on and after January 1, 2024 will be payable in cash or by transferring to the DDTL Lender shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as described below. Subject to customary borrowing conditions, the DDTL Facility may be drawn in up to six separate borrowings of $5 million or more.

The DDTL Facility is prepayable at any time without penalty and amounts repaid on the DDTL Facility may not be reborrowed. The DDTL Borrower will have the option to make any payments of principal, interest or fees under the DDTL Facility either in the form of cash or by delivering to the DDTL Lender shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. If the DDTL Borrower elects to make any payment in the form of the Company's Class A Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be calculated based on the dollar volume-weighted average price

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
for the Class A Common Stock for the twenty trading days ending on the day on which the DDTL Borrower makes such election.

The DDTL Borrower shall only be permitted to use the proceeds of the DDTL Facility (i) for funding costs associated with the MSG Sphere initiative and (ii) in connection with refinancing of the indebtedness under the MSG Networks Credit Facility.

The DDTL Facility contains certain representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, financial reporting, notices of material events, and limitations on asset dispositions, restricted payments, and affiliate transactions. In addition, the DDTL Facility includes certain events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, nonpayment, cross-defaults to other debt, breach of specified covenants, ERISA events, material monetary judgments, change of control events and the material inaccuracy of the representations and warranties. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the DDTL Facility, the agreement provides that the DDTL Lender may terminate the commitments under the agreement, declare amounts outstanding, including principal and accrued interest and fees, payable immediately, and enforce any and all of its rights and interests.

*Two Pennsylvania Plaza Sublease* 

Following the Distribution, the Company will sublease approximately 20,000 square feet of office space at Two Pennsylvania Plaza in New York City to MSG Entertainment. The Company expects to earn approximately $2 million of sublease revenue from MSG Entertainment during Fiscal Year 2024 in connection with this arrangement.

*Aircraft Arrangements* 

We will enter into various arrangements with MSG Entertainment, pursuant to which MSG Entertainment will have the right to lease on a "time-sharing" basis certain aircraft to which we have access. MSG Entertainment will be required to pay us specified expenses for each flight they elect to utilize, but not exceeding the maximum amount payable under Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") rules. In calculating the amounts payable under the agreement, the parties will allocate in good faith the treatment of any flight that is for the benefit of both companies. Additionally, the parties will agree on an allocation of the costs of certain helicopter use by any shared executive officers.

*Other Arrangements and Agreements with MSG Entertainment* 

The Company has also entered into a number of commercial and other arrangements and agreements with MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries. These include arrangements for the provision of services, allocations with respect to sponsorship agreements and other matters, aircraft sharing, and certain trademark licensing arrangements.

**Other Arrangements and Agreements with MSG Sports and/or AMC Networks** 

The Company expects to enter into a number of commercial and other arrangements and agreements with MSG Sports and/or AMC Networks and their respective subsidiaries. The Company will agree to share certain executive support costs, including office space, executive assistants, security and transportation costs, for the Company's Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports and for the Company's Vice Chairman with MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and AMC Networks. Additionally, the Company will agree on an allocation of the costs of certain personal aircraft use with MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports (with respect to Mr. Dolan only) and helicopter use with MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and AMC Networks by their shared executives. Other arrangements may include the use of equipment, lease and use of offices and other premises, provision of transport services and vendor services, access to technology and lease of suites and sponsorships.

*Arena License Agreements* 

On April 15, 2020, a subsidiary of MSG Entertainment entered into Arena License Agreements with subsidiaries of MSG Sports that require the Knicks and Rangers (the "teams") to play their home games at The Garden. These agreements will be assigned to the Company in connection with the Distribution. Under the Arena License Agreements, which each have a term of 35 years, the Knicks and the Rangers pay an annual license fee in connection with their respective use of The Garden. For each, the Arena License Agreement provides that the license fee for the first full contract year ended June 30, 2021 was to be approximately $22.5 million for the Knicks and approximately $16.7 million for the Rangers, and then for each subsequent year, the license fees will be 103% of the license fees for the immediately preceding contract year. The teams are not required to pay the license fee during a period in which The Garden is unavailable for use due to a force majeure event (including when events at The Garden were suspended by government mandate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic). If, due to a force majeure event, capacity at The Garden is limited to 1,000 or fewer attendees, the teams may schedule and play home games at The Garden with applicable rent payable to the Company under the Arena License Agreements reduced by 80%. If, due to a force majeure event, capacity at The Garden is limited to less than full capacity but over 1,000 attendees, the parties will agree on an appropriate reduction to the rent payments. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment recognized total license fee revenue under the Arena License Agreements of approximately $68.1 million from MSG Sports.

The Arena License Agreements set forth the terms of the teams' use of The Garden, including arrangements for the provision of amenities, game day and other services. While the Company will provide game day services for the teams, most of the associated costs will be borne by the teams. Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company, at its sole cost and expense, is responsible for the maintenance, equipment and other functions needed to operate, repair and maintain The Garden. The Company does not own or control the teams' broadcast and telecast rights and therefore is not entitled to revenues in connection with their broadcast rights.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company operates and manages food and beverage services during all team events, for which the Company shares 50% of net profits with the applicable team. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment's revenue sharing expense for food and beverage services was approximately $10.8 million for MSG Sports.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company also has the right and obligation to operate and manage team merchandise sales at The Garden. The Company retains a 30% portion of revenues from team merchandise sold in The Garden. The Company maintains the exclusive right to control the operation and sale of non-team merchandise. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment recorded revenue of approximately $4.4 million from team merchandise sales at The Garden.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company has the exclusive right to license and manage suites and club memberships at The Garden, including for use during team games, subject to certain exceptions, and shares a portion of the revenues from such licenses and club memberships with MSG Sports. MSG Sports is entitled to 67.5% of revenues (net of any contracted catering credits), for suites or club memberships sold for all or substantially all events at The Garden, including team home games. MSG Sports receives all revenues from the sale of suites licensed for team-only packages or individual team games, subject to a 20-25% commission to the Company. For any customizable suite package, revenues are divided between the Company and MSG Sports on a proportional basis, with MSG Sports receiving all revenues attributable to the team events included in the package, less a 20-25% commission to the Company. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment recorded approximately $74.8 million of revenue sharing expense from licensing suite and club memberships.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company retains 52.5% of revenue from the sale of certain arena shared sponsorship assets, such as fixed signage or entitlements at The Garden. The Company is not entitled to any revenue from certain team sponsorship assets, such as courtside or rinkside advertising and other team or event-specific sponsorship assets. The Company is also entitled to 67.5% of the revenue from the sale of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
any arena naming rights. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment recorded approximately $6.5 million of revenue sharing expense from arena shared sponsorship assets.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company does not have the right to sell or retain revenues from ticket sales or resales to team events. The Arena License Agreements set forth MSG Entertainment's responsibilities with respect to box office services, ticket printing and the teams' respective responsibilities to comply with MSG Entertainment's ticket agent agreements.

The Arena License Agreements provide that the teams are responsible for 100% of any real property or similar taxes applicable to The Garden. If the tax exemption is repealed or the teams are otherwise subject to property tax through no fault of the teams, the revenue opportunity that the Company may generate from team events will be reduced on a percentage basis as set forth in the Arena License Agreements.

The Arena License Agreements provide for the Company to prepare an annual budget, in consultation with the teams, subject to certain team consent rights.

NBA consent is required to amend the Knicks' Arena License Agreement.

*Sponsorship Sales and Service Representation Agreements* 

On April 15, 2020, MSG Entertainment entered into sponsorship sales and service representation agreements with the teams, which have terms of more than 10 years (subject to an early termination right exercisable by May 31, 2025 and effective June 30, 2025). Under these agreements, MSG Entertainment is the exclusive sales and service representative for all sponsorship benefits available for sale in connection with the teams, as well as the Knicks' development team, the Westchester Knicks, and Knicks Gaming, the official NBA 2K esports franchise of the Knicks, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., regarding television and radio rights licensed to MSG Networks pursuant to separate media rights agreements). MSG Entertainment receives a commission from MSG Sports, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the agreements. Commissions are generally set at 12.5% of gross revenue, and may be increased to 17.5% of gross revenue for sales above the annual target revenue for the year. Commissions may also be reduced to account for fulfilment costs associated with a particular sponsorship asset. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment recorded commission revenue of approximately $9.2 million from MSG Sports.

MSG Entertainment also receives annual sales operation fixed payments from MSG Sports associated with providing sponsorship sales services. For each subsequent year, the payment will be 103% of the payment for the immediately preceding contract year. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment recorded revenue of approximately $8.4 million from MSG Sports.

These agreements are subject to certain termination rights, including the right of each of MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports to terminate if MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports are no longer affiliates, and MSG Sports' right to terminate if certain sales thresholds are not met (unless MSG Entertainment pays MSG Sports the shortfall). NBA consent is required to amend the Knicks' sponsorship sales and service representation agreement. In connection with the Distribution, we expect these agreements to be assigned from MSG Entertainment to the Company, although some adjustments may be needed as a result of the new organizational structure of the companies.

*Team Sponsorship Allocation Agreement* 

MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports each routinely enter into sponsorship agreements with third-parties that include the assets of both companies with either MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports serving as the contracting party with the third-party sponsor. On April 15, 2020, MSG Entertainment entered into a team sponsorship allocation agreement with MSG Sports pursuant to which MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
agreed to distribute payments received under the third-party sponsorship agreements to each other generally in accordance with the relative value of the assets provided by each company under the respective third-party agreement. MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to receive the payments by the third-party sponsors, and have agreed that neither party will take any action that would cause the other one to be in breach under the third-party agreements (to the extent they have knowledge or reason to have knowledge of such agreement), as well as to consult with each other in the event of a breach by a third-party sponsor. In connection with the Distribution, the team sponsorship allocation agreement will be assigned from MSG Entertainment to the Company.

*Group Ticket Sales and Service Representation Agreement* 

On April 15, 2020, MSG Entertainment entered into a group ticket sales and service representation agreement with MSG Sports, with an initial term lasting until June 30, 2024 and automatically renewing annually thereafter, pursuant to which MSG Sports is MSG Entertainment's sales and service representative to sell group tickets and ticket packages. MSG Entertainment pays a 7.5% commission on gross revenue derived from group ticket sales placed on behalf of MSG Entertainment by MSG Sports and reimburses MSG Sports for a share of certain of its costs, which is determined by mutual good faith agreement of the parties and revisited each month to cover costs such as sales and service staff and overhead allocated to commission sales. For the year ended June 30, 2022, MSG Entertainment recorded expenses, within operating expenses, of approximately $3.1 million related to the group ticket sales and service representation agreement. In connection with the Distribution, this agreement will be assigned from MSG Entertainment to the Company.

*Two Pennsylvania Plaza Sublease* 

Following the Distribution, the Company will sublease approximately 47,000 square feet of office space at Two Pennsylvania Plaza in New York City to MSG Sports. The Company expects to earn approximately $3 million of sublease revenue from MSG Sports during Fiscal Year 2024 in connection with this arrangement.

**Dolan Family Arrangements** 

*Standstill Agreement* 

Prior to the Distribution, the members of the Dolan Family Group will enter into an agreement (the "Standstill Agreement") with the Company in which they will agree that during the 12-month period beginning on the Distribution date, the Dolan Family Group must obtain the prior approval of a majority of the Company's Independent Directors prior to acquiring common stock of the Company through a tender offer that results in members of the Dolan Family Group owning more than 50% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. For purposes of this agreement, the term "Independent Directors" means the directors of the Company who have been determined by our Board of Directors to be independent directors for purposes of NYSE corporate governance standards. The Standstill Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this information statement forms a part, that we have filed with the SEC, and the foregoing discussion of that agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to that exhibit.

*Aircraft and Office Space Arrangements* 

A subsidiary of the Company is party to time sharing agreements, dry lease agreements and aircraft support services agreements with entities controlled by members of the Dolan Family with respect to various aircraft owned by either the Company or such Dolan Family members. Amounts paid or received by MSG Entertainment pursuant to these arrangements during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 would have been paid or received by the Company if the Distribution had already occurred.

A subsidiary of the Company is a party to agreements with Charles F. Dolan, the father of James L. Dolan, pursuant to which Mr. Charles F. Dolan has the right to lease on a "time-sharing" basis certain Company aircraft.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Mr. Dolan is required to pay us specified expenses for each flight he elects to utilize, but not exceeding the maximum amount payable under FAA rules. Pursuant to this arrangement, Mr. Dolan paid MSG Entertainment $182,210 for use of MSG Entertainment's aircraft during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In addition, a subsidiary of the Company is party to an agreement with Sterling 2K, LLC ("S2K"), a company controlled by Deborah Dolan-Sweeney, the daughter of Charles F. Dolan and the sister of James L. Dolan, pursuant to which the Company has the right to lease on a non-exclusive basis S2K's Gulfstream Aerospace GV-SP (G550) aircraft (the "DFO G550"). We are required to pay S2K rent at an hourly rate and specified expenses (which mirror the types of expenses we charge S2K for use of our aircraft) for each flight we elect to utilize. The agreement includes a "true-up" mechanism such that, to the extent the Company's annual usage of the DFO G550 exceeds Mr. Charles F. Dolan's annual usage of the Company's aircraft, the Company will pay an additional hourly rate with respect to excess hours intended to cover additional costs. Pursuant to this arrangement, MSG Entertainment paid S2K $418,635 for use of the DFO G550 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, inclusive of accrued true-up payments required under the agreement. In addition, the agreement provides for equitable adjustment in the event that discrepancies in hours of usage or other factors cause the arrangement to be economically unfair to either party.

A subsidiary of the Company and Brighid Air, LLC ("Brighid"), a company controlled by Patrick F. Dolan, are parties to agreements, pursuant to which the Company has a right to lease on a non-exclusive basis (the "dry-lease") and on a "time-sharing basis" (the "time-share") Brighid's Bombardier BD100-1A10 Challenger 350 aircraft (the "Challenger"). The Company is required to pay Brighid specified expenses of each flight it elects to utilize, but not exceeding the maximum amount payable under FAA rules. MSG Entertainment paid Brighid $254,110 under the dry-lease agreement for use of the Challenger during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. No payments were made under the time share because the Company did not use the Challenger under this agreement during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In connection with the agreement for the Company's use of the Challenger, a subsidiary of the Company and Dolan Family Office, LLC ("DFO"), an entity controlled by Charles F. Dolan, are parties to a Flight Crew Services Agreement, pursuant to which the Company may utilize pilots employed by DFO for purposes of flying the Challenger when the Company is leasing the Challenger under its agreement with Brighid. The Company is required to pay DFO an hourly rate for the use of such pilots, as well as reimburse certain expenses of the pilots. Pursuant to this arrangement, MSG Entertainment paid DFO $38,975 for use of DFO pilots during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Until December 21, 2021, a subsidiary of MSG Entertainment was a party to an agreement with Quart 2C, LLC ("Q2C"), a company controlled by James. L. Dolan, the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as well as a director of the Company, and Kristin A. Dolan, his spouse, pursuant to which Q2C had the right to lease on a "time-sharing" basis MSG Entertainment's Gulfstream Aerospace G550 aircraft (the "G550"). Q2C was required to pay MSG Entertainment specified expenses for each flight it elected to utilize, but not exceeding the maximum amount payable under FAA rules. Q2C did not use MSG Entertainment's aircraft during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and as a result, MSG Entertainment did not receive any payments from them. In addition, until December 21, 2021, a subsidiary of MSG Entertainment and Q2C were parties to an agreement, pursuant to which MSG Entertainment had the right to lease on a non-exclusive basis Q2C's Gulfstream Aerospace G450 aircraft (the "G450"). MSG Entertainment was required to pay Q2C rent at an hourly rate and specified expenses (which mirror the types of expenses MSG Entertainment charged Q2C for use of the G550) for each flight MSG Entertainment elected to utilize. The agreement included a "true-up" mechanism such that, to the extent MSG Entertainment's annual usage of the G450 exceeded Q2C's annual usage of the G550, MSG Entertainment paid an additional hourly rate with respect to excess hours intended to cover additional costs. The agreement also provided for equitable adjustments in the event that discrepancies in hours of usage or other factors caused the arrangement to be economically unfair to either party. Pursuant to this arrangement, MSG Entertainment accrued expenses of $2,011,095 for use of the G450 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, inclusive of any true-up payments and adjustments under the agreement due to significant use of the G450 by MSG Entertainment. These agreements were no longer effective as of December 21, 2021.

A subsidiary of the Company is party to various Aircraft Support Services Agreements (as such agreements may be amended from time to time, the "Aircraft Services Agreements") pursuant to which the Company provides aircraft support services to (i) Charles F. Dolan and certain of his other children (specifically, Thomas C. Dolan, a director of the Company, Deborah Dolan-Sweeney, Patrick F. Dolan, Marianne Dolan Weber, a director of the Company, and Kathleen Dolan) and (ii) an entity controlled by Patrick Dolan, the son of Charles F. Dolan and brother of James L. Dolan. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, the Company provides certain aircraft support services in exchange for a monthly agency fee. These services include providing pilots, crew and maintenance personnel, aircraft maintenance, FAA compliance, flight scheduling and dispatch services, negotiation/management of third-party contracts and other services necessary and appropriate for the support of aircraft. Pursuant to the Aircraft Services Agreements, each of the parties noted above paid MSG Entertainment (i) $193,705 and (ii) $168,730, respectively, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The Company provided similar services to an entity controlled by James L. Dolan pursuant to an Aircraft Support Services Agreement until December 21, 2021, upon which date the agreement ceased to be effective. Pursuant to such agreement, the entity controlled by James L. Dolan paid MSG Entertainment $98,430 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

*605, LLC* 

James L. Dolan, a director and the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and his wife Kristin Dolan own 50% of 605, LLC ("605"), an audience measurement and data analytics company in the media and entertainment industries. Kristin Dolan is also the founder and Non-Executive Chairman of 605. MSG Entertainment paid 605 $53,349 for data analytics services during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In addition, MSG Entertainment's Audit Committee approved the entry into one or more agreements with 605 to provide certain data analytics services to the Company for an aggregate amount of up to $1 million. In August 2022 a subsidiary of the Company entered into a three-year agreement with 605, valued at approximately $750,000, covering several customer analysis projects per year in connection with events held at our venues. The Company expects to engage 605 to provide certain data analytics services in the future.

*Registration Rights* 

See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Registration Rights Agreements" for a description of registration rights agreements that will be entered into among Dolan family interests and the Company and MSG Entertainment and the Company.

**Certain Relationships and Potential Conflicts of Interest** 

Following the Distribution, there will be an overlap between an officer of the Company, MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment. James L. Dolan will serve as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and MSG Entertainment and as the Executive Chairman of MSG Sports. James L. Dolan also currently serves as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks. In addition, Gregg G. Seibert will serve as a Vice Chairman of the Company, MSG Sports, MSG Entertainment and AMC Networks and Charles F. Dolan will serve as Chairman Emeritus of AMC Networks concurrently with his service on our Board. Furthermore, immediately following the Distribution, we expect nine of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company will also serve as directors of MSG Entertainment, nine will serve as directors of MSG Sports and five will serve as directors of AMC Networks, including our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who serves as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Networks. There will be no overlap of Class A Directors as between MSG Entertainment and the Company.

The overlapping directors and officers may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting each company. For example, there will be the potential for a conflict of interest when we or the Other Entities look at certain acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for more than one of the companies. Also, conflicts may arise if there are issues or disputes under the commercial

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
arrangements that will exist between an Other Entity on the one hand and us on the other hand. In addition, after the Distribution, certain of our directors and officers will continue to own stock and/or stock options or other equity awards of an Other Entity. These ownership interests could create actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest when these individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for our Company and an Other Entity. See "— Related Party Transaction Approval Policy" for a discussion of certain procedures we will institute to help ameliorate such potential conflicts that may arise.

The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will acknowledge that the Overlap Persons may also be serving as directors, officers, employees or agents of an Other Entity, and that the Company may engage in material business transactions with such Other Entities. The Company will renounce its rights to certain business opportunities and the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that no Overlap Person will be liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty that would otherwise occur by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity (other than certain limited types of opportunities set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) to one or more of the Other Entities instead of the Company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunities to the Company. These provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also expressly validate certain contracts, agreements, arrangements and transactions (and amendments, modifications or terminations thereof) between the Company and the Other Entities and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, provide that the actions of the Overlap Persons in connection therewith are not breaches of fiduciary duties owed to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective stockholders. See "Description of Capital Stock — Certain Corporate Opportunities and Conflicts."

**Related Party Transaction Approval Policy** 

We will adopt a written policy whereby an Independent Committee of our Board of Directors will review and approve or take such other action as it may deem appropriate with respect to transactions involving the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and in which any director, executive officer, greater than 5% stockholder of the Company or any other "related person" (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC) has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. This approval requirement covers any transaction that meets the related party disclosure requirements of the SEC as set forth in Item 404, which currently apply to transactions (or any series of similar transactions) in which the amount involved exceeds the dollar threshold set forth in Item 404 (currently $120,000). To simplify the administration of the approval process under this policy, an Independent Committee may, where appropriate, establish guidelines for certain of those transactions. The policy does not cover decisions on compensation or benefits or the hiring or retention of any person. The hiring or retention of executive officers is determined by our full Board of Directors. Compensation of executive officers is subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee. This policy also does not cover any pro rata distributions to all Company stockholders, including a pro rata distribution of our Class A Common Stock to holders of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock to holders of our Class B Common Stock. No director on an Independent Committee will participate in the consideration of a related party transaction with that director or any related person of that director. Following the Distribution, our Board of Directors will also adopt a special approval policy for transactions with the Other Entities whether or not such transactions qualify as "related party" transactions described above. Under this policy, an Independent Committee will oversee approval of all transactions and arrangements between the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and one or more of the Other Entities, on the other hand, in which the amount exceeds a $1,000,000 threshold. In addition, an Independent Committee will receive a quarterly update from the Company's Internal Audit Department of all related party transactions, including transactions and arrangements between the Company and its subsidiaries on the one hand, and each of the Other Entities, on the other hand, regardless of value. To simplify the administration of the approval process under this policy, an Independent Committee may, where appropriate, establish guidelines for certain of these transactions. The approval requirement will not apply to the implementation and administration of these intercompany arrangements under the related party transaction approval policy but will cover any amendments, modifications, terminations or extensions involving amounts in excess of $1,000,000, as well as the handling and resolution of any disputes

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
involving amounts in excess of $1,000,000. Our executive officers and directors who are also senior executives or directors of the Other Entities may participate in the negotiation, execution, implementation, amendment, modification, or termination of these intercompany arrangements, as well as in any resolution of disputes thereunder, on behalf of any or all of the Company and the Other Entities, in each case under the direction or ultimate approval of an Independent Committee or the comparable committee of the board of directors of the Company and/or Other Entities, as applicable.

Our related party transaction approval policy cannot be amended or terminated without the prior approval of a majority of the Company's independent directors and by a majority of the directors elected by our Class B Common Stockholders. For purposes of this policy, "independent directors" means those directors who have been determined by our Board to be independent directors for purposes of NYSE corporate governance standards.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS** 

**AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS** 

**Beneficial Ownership of Stock** 

This table shows the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and the percentage of shares of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock, that would be owned of record and beneficially at the time of the Distribution by each director and executive officer of the Company (calculated as of March 7, 2023, the "Reference Date"). The table also shows the name, address and the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock and percentage of shares of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock that would be owned by persons beneficially owning more than five percent (5%) of any class at the time of Distribution. All information in the table and related footnotes is based solely upon the Company's review of SEC filings as of the Reference Date (and, in the case of members of the Dolan family and trusts for their benefit, information provided to the Company as of the Reference Date) as to the ownership of MSG Entertainment common stock and is presented as if the Distribution had occurred on the Reference Date. The ownership percentages in this table are based on the following total share amounts expected to be outstanding at the time of the Distribution (calculated as of the Reference Date and based on the distribution ratio of one share of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock for each share of MSG Entertainment Class A Common Stock and MSG Entertainment Class B Common Stock, respectively), and include MSG Entertainment's retained interest and the issuance of shares of our Class A Common Stock to MSG Entertainment non-employee directors who held MSG Entertainment non-employee director restricted stock units as of the Reference Date: 44,900,926 Class A Shares and 6,866,754 Class B Shares, for a total of 51,767,680 shares.

**SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE** 

Sales or the availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Class A Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price for such stock. Upon completion of the Distribution, we will have outstanding an aggregate of approximately [●] shares of our Class A Common Stock and [●] shares of our Class B Common Stock based upon the shares of MSG Entertainment common stock outstanding on [●], 2023, excluding treasury stock and assuming no exercise of outstanding options. All of the shares of Class A Common Stock will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless the shares are owned by our "affiliates" as that term is defined in the rules under the Securities Act. Shares held by "affiliates" may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration or in compliance with Rule 144, which is summarized below. Further, as described below, we plan to file a registration statement to cover the shares issued under our Employee Stock Plan.

**Rule 144** 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, an affiliate would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that does not exceed the greater of:

• one percent of the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock then outstanding; or

• the average weekly trading volume of our Class A Common Stock on the NYSE during the four calendar weeks
preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain holding period requirements, manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

**Employee Stock Awards** 

As described under "Executive Compensation — Treatment of Outstanding Awards," in connection with the Distribution we will issue under our Employee Stock Plan options with respect to approximately [●] shares of our Class A Common Stock, approximately [●] restricted stock units and approximately [●] performance stock units (at the target level of performance) in respect of previously outstanding awards by MSG Entertainment. In addition, we anticipate making other equity-based awards to our employees in the future. We currently expect to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to register shares to be issued under our Employee Stock Plan, including the options, restricted stock units and performance stock units that were granted in connection with the Distribution. Shares covered by such registration statement, other than shares issued to affiliates, generally will be freely tradable without further registration under the Securities Act.

**Non-Employee Director Stock Awards** 

We also currently expect to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to register shares to be issued under our Director Stock Plan, including approximately [●] shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in connection with MSG Entertainment's restricted stock units, in each case held by MSG Entertainment directors. These shares will be granted, issued and fully vested as of the Distribution date. Shares covered by such registration statement, other than shares issued to affiliates, generally will be freely tradable without further registration under the Securities Act.

**Registration Rights Agreements** 

MSG Entertainment will retain approximately 38% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 33% of our common stock, following the Distribution. Prior to the Distribution, we and MSG Entertainment will enter into a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we will provide MSG Entertainment with "demand" and "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the shares of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Class A Common Stock it owns following the Distribution. In addition, MSG Entertainment will agree to vote the Class A Common Stock that it owns in proportion to the votes cast by the other holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock on such matter, to the extent such shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to be voted on such matter. The shares of Class A Common Stock owned by MSG Entertainment will be present at all stockholder meetings for quorum purposes. MSG Entertainment will grant the Company an irrevocable proxy to implement these voting agreements. Although no final decisions have been made, MSG Entertainment is required by applicable tax rules to dispose of all the retained shares as soon as practicable consistent with the business purposes for the retention, and expects to dispose of such retained shares within one year, subject to market conditions. This disposition may be through one or more sales, exchange offers or pro-rata distributions.

Charles F. Dolan, all other holders of Class B Common Stock (other than the Charles F. Dolan Children Trusts) and the Dolan Family Foundation (collectively, the "Dolan Parties") will enter into the Dolan Registration Rights Agreement with the Company, which will become effective upon consummation of the Distribution. Under this agreement, the Company will provide the Dolan Parties (and, in certain cases, transferees and pledgees of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by these parties) with certain demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect to their shares of Class A Common Stock (including those issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock). The Dolan Parties are expected to receive [●] shares of our Class B Common Stock in the Distribution, which are expected to represent approximately [●]% of our Class B Common Stock as well as approximately [●] shares of Class A Common Stock, which are expected to represent less than [●]% of our Class A Common Stock. Such shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, collectively, are expected to represent approximately [●]% of our common stock and [●]% of the aggregate voting power of our common stock.

The Charles F. Dolan Children Trusts (the "Dolan Children Trusts") and the Company will enter into the Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement, which will become effective upon consummation of the Distribution. Under this agreement, the Company will provide the Dolan Children Trusts (and, in certain cases, transferees and pledgees of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by these parties) with certain demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect to their shares of Class A Common Stock (including those issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock). The Dolan Children Trusts are expected to receive Class B Common Stock in the Distribution (the "Children Trust Shares"), which are expected to represent approximately [●]% of our Class B Common Stock, as well as approximately [●] shares of Class A Common Stock, which are expected to represent less than [●]% of our Class A Common Stock. Such shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, collectively, are expected to represent approximately [●]% of our common stock and [●]% of the aggregate voting power of our common stock.

In the Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement, each Dolan Children Trust will agree that in the case of any sale or disposition of its shares of Class B Common Stock by such Dolan Children Trust, or of any of the Children Trust Shares by any other Dolan family interest to which such shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred, such stock will be converted to Class A Common Stock. The Dolan Registration Rights Agreement will not include a comparable conversion obligation, and the conversion obligation in the Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement will not apply to the Class B Common Stock received by the Dolan Parties in the Distribution.

The MSG Entertainment Registration Rights Agreement, Dolan Registration Rights Agreement and the Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement are filed as exhibits prior to the Distribution to the registration statement, of which this information statement forms a part, that we have filed with the SEC, and the foregoing discussion of those agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to those agreements that will be filed prior to the Distribution.

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK** 

We are currently authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock. Prior to the Distribution, we will amend our certificate of incorporation to provide authorization for us to issue [●] shares of capital stock, of which [●] shares will be Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, [●] shares will be Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and [●] shares will be preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our common stock and preferred stock will have the rights described below.

**Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock** 

All shares of our common stock currently outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable, not subject to redemption and without preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any proportionate part of any new or additional issues of stock of any class or of securities convertible into stock of any class.

*Voting* 

Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to 10 votes per share. All actions submitted to a vote of stockholders are voted on by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class, except for the election of directors and as otherwise set forth below. With respect to the election of directors, holders of Class A Common Stock will vote together as a separate class and be entitled to elect 25% of the total number of directors constituting the whole Board of Directors and, if such 25% is not a whole number, then the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting together as a separate class, will be entitled to elect the nearest higher whole number of directors that is at least 25% of the total number of directors. Holders of Class B Common Stock, voting together as a separate class, will be entitled to elect the remaining directors.

If, however, on the record date for any stockholders meeting at which directors are to be elected, the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is less than 10% of the total number of outstanding shares of both classes of common stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class with respect to the election of directors and the holders of Class A Common Stock will not have the right to elect 25% of the total number of directors but will have one vote per share for all directors and the holders of Class B Common Stock will have 10 votes per share for all directors. (On the date of the Distribution, we anticipate that the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will represent approximately [●]% of the total number of outstanding shares of both classes of common stock.)

If, on the record date for notice of any stockholders meeting at which directors are to be elected, the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock is less than 12<sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub>% of the total number of outstanding shares of both classes of common stock, then the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class, would continue to elect a number of directors equal to 25% of the total number of directors constituting the whole Board of Directors and, in addition, would vote together with the holders of Class B Common Stock, as a single class, to elect the remaining directors to be elected at such meeting, with the holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote per share and the holders of Class B Common Stock entitled to 10 votes per share.

In addition, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66<sup>2</sup>/<sub>3</sub>% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class, is required for the authorization or issuance of any additional shares of Class B Common Stock and for any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation which would affect adversely the powers, preferences or rights of the Class B Common Stock. The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the voting power of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class—no separate class vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock is required, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or any successor provision thereto). Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not provide for cumulative voting.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Pursuant to the Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, MSG Entertainment has agreed that so long as it owns any Class A Common Stock, such Class A Common Stock will be voted with respect to any matter (including waivers of contractual or statutory rights), in proportion to the votes cast by the other holders of Class A Common Stock on such matter, to the extent such shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to be voted on such matter. In addition, the shares of Class A Common Stock owned by MSG Entertainment will be present at all stockholder meetings for quorum purposes. MSG Entertainment has granted the Company an irrevocable proxy to implement these voting agreements.

*Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals* 

Our amended by-laws will establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors other than nominations made by or at the direction of our Board of Directors. In particular, stockholders must notify our corporate secretary in writing prior to the meeting at which the matters are to be acted upon or directors are to be elected. The notice must contain the information specified in our amended by-laws. To be timely, the notice must be received by our corporate secretary not less than 60 or more than 90 days prior to the date of the stockholders' meeting, provided that if the date of the meeting is publicly announced or disclosed less than 70 days prior to the date of the meeting, the notice must be given not more than 10 days after such date is first announced or disclosed.

*No Stockholder Action by Written Consent* 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, except as otherwise provided as to any series of preferred stock in the terms of that series, no action of stockholders required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting of stockholders, without prior notice and without a vote, and the power of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action without a meeting is specifically denied.

*Conversions* 

The Class A Common Stock has no conversion rights. The Class B Common Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the basis of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock. In the case of any sale or disposition of Class B Common Stock by a Dolan Children Trust, or of any Children Trust Shares by any other Dolan family interest to which such shares have been transferred, such stock must be converted to Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. This conversion requirement will not apply to sales or dispositions of Class B Common Stock to Charles F. Dolan or other Dolan family interests. Any conversion of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock would result in the issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock. As a result of any such conversion, existing Class A Common Stockholders would own the same percentage of the outstanding Common Stock but a smaller percentage of the total number of shares of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. Additionally, the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock, which are entitled to 10 votes per share, into shares of Class A Common Stock, which are entitled to one vote per share, would increase the voting power of Class A Common Stockholders with respect to all actions that are voted on by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as a single class; however, the Class B Common Stockholders, voting as a separate class, would continue to have the right to elect up to 75% of our Board of Directors unless and until the Class B Common Stock represented less than 12<sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub>% of the outstanding Common Stock and, when both classes vote together as one class, would continue to represent a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Common Stock unless and until the Class B Common Stock represented less than approximately 9.1% of the outstanding Common Stock. See "Description of Capital Stock — Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock — Voting" and "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters — Beneficial Ownership of Stock."

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Dividends* 

Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends equally on a per-share basis if and when such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefor. No dividend may be declared or paid in cash or property or shares of either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock unless the same dividend is paid simultaneously on each share of the other class of common stock. In the case of any stock dividend, holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive the same dividend on a percentage basis (payable in shares of or securities convertible to shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities of ours or any other person) as holders of Class B Common Stock receive (payable in shares of or securities convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, shares of or securities convertible into shares of Class B Common Stock and other securities of us or any other person). The distribution of shares or other securities of the Company or any other person to common stockholders is permitted to differ to the extent that the common stock differs as to voting rights and rights in connection to certain dividends.

*Liquidation* 

Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock share with each other on a ratable basis as a single class in the net assets available for distribution in respect of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in the event of a liquidation.

*Other Terms* 

Neither the Class A Common Stock nor the Class B Common Stock may be subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or otherwise changed, except as expressly provided in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, unless the other class of common stock is subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or otherwise changed at the same time, in the same proportion and in the same manner.

In any merger, consolidation or business combination the consideration to be received per share by holders of either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock must be identical to that received by holders of the other class of common stock, except that in any such transaction in which shares of capital stock are distributed, such shares may differ as to voting rights only to the extent that voting rights now differ between Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

*Transfer Agent* 

The transfer and distribution agent and registrar for the Class A Common Stock is EQ Shareowner Services.

**Preferred Stock** 

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors will be authorized, without further stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of up to [●] shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed or designated by the Board of Directors pursuant to a certificate of designations. There will be no shares of our preferred stock outstanding at the time of the Distribution. Any issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock and may render more difficult certain unsolicited or hostile attempts to take over the Company.

**Certain Corporate Opportunities and Conflicts** 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will recognize that Overlap Persons may serve as directors, officers, employees, and agents of an Other Entity and will provide that if a director or officer of the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Company who is an Overlap Person is presented or offered, or otherwise acquires knowledge of, a potential transaction or matter that may constitute or present a business opportunity for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, in which the Company could have an interest or expectancy (any such transaction or matter, and any such actual or potential business opportunity, a "Potential Business Opportunity"), (i) such Overlap Person will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty or obligation to refrain from referring such Potential Business Opportunity to any Other Entity and, if such director or officer refers such Potential Business Opportunity to an Other Entity, such Overlap Person shall have no duty or obligation to refer such Potential Business Opportunity to the Company or to give any notice to the Company regarding such Potential Business Opportunity (or any matter related thereto), (ii) if such Overlap Person refers a Potential Business Opportunity to an Other Entity, such Overlap Person, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will not be liable to the Company as a director, officer, stockholder or otherwise, for any failure to refer such Potential Business Opportunity to the Company, or for referring such Potential Business Opportunity to any Other Entity, or for any failure to give any notice to the Company regarding such Potential Business Opportunity or any matter relating thereto, (iii) any Other Entity may participate, engage or invest in any such Potential Business Opportunity notwithstanding that such Potential Business Opportunity may have been referred to such Other Entity by an Overlap Person, and (iv) if a director or officer who is an Overlap Person refers a Potential Business Opportunity to an Other Entity, then, as between the Company, on the one hand, and such Other Entity, on the other hand, the Company shall be deemed to have renounced any interest, expectancy or right in or to such Potential Business Opportunity or to receive any income or proceeds derived therefrom solely as a result of such Overlap Person having been presented or offered, or otherwise acquiring knowledge of, such Potential Business Opportunity, unless in each case referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), such Potential Business Opportunity is considered a "Restricted Potential Business Opportunity" as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company has renounced to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy in any Potential Business Opportunity that is not a Restricted Potential Business Opportunity. In the event that the Company's Board of Directors declines to pursue a Restricted Potential Business Opportunity, Overlap Persons are free to refer such Restricted Potential Business Opportunity to an Other Entity.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that no contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof) entered into between the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an Other Entity, on the other hand, before the Company ceased to be an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MSG Entertainment shall be void or voidable or be considered unfair to the Company or any of its subsidiaries solely because an Other Entity is a party thereto, or because any directors, officers or employees of an Other Entity were present at or participated in any meeting of the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, of the Company that authorized the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof), or because his, her or their votes were counted for such purpose. The Company may from time to time enter into and perform, and cause or permit any of its subsidiaries to enter into and perform, one or more contracts, agreements, arrangements or transactions (or amendments, modifications or supplements thereto) with an Other Entity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (nor any such amendments, modifications or supplements), nor the performance thereof by the Company or an Other Entity, shall be considered contrary to any fiduciary duty owed to the Company (or to any stockholder of the Company) by any director or officer of the Company who is an Overlap Person. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer of the Company who is an Overlap Person thereof shall have or be under any fiduciary duty to the Company (or to any stockholder of the Company) to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company or an Other Entity in respect of any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction or performing any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction in accordance with its terms and each such director or officer of the Company who is an Overlap Person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and shall be deemed not to have breached his or her duties of loyalty to the Company (or to any stockholders of the Company) and not to have derived an improper personal benefit therefrom.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
No alteration, amendment or repeal of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with the foregoing provisions will have any effect upon: (a) any agreement between the Company or a subsidiary thereof and any Other Entity that was entered into before the time of such alteration, amendment or repeal or adoption of any such inconsistent provision (the "Amendment Time"), or any transaction entered into in connection with the performance of any such agreement, whether such transaction is entered into before or after the Amendment Time; (b) any transaction entered into between the Company or a subsidiary thereof and any Other Entity, before the Amendment Time; (c) the allocation of any business opportunity between the Company or any subsidiary thereof and any Other Entity before the Amendment Time; or (d) any duty or obligation owed by any director or officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (or the absence of any such duty or obligation) with respect to any Potential Business Opportunity which such director or officer was offered, or of which such director or officer otherwise became aware, before the Amendment Time (regardless of whether any proceeding relating to any of the above is commenced before or after the Amendment Time).

**Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law** 

Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibits certain transactions between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder." An "interested stockholder" for this purpose is a stockholder who is directly or indirectly a beneficial owner of 15% or more of the aggregate voting power of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain business combinations between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to the time that a stockholder became an interested stockholder, either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the Company's Board of Directors; (2) the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the aggregate voting power of the Company in the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder; or (3) the business combination is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the aggregate voting power not owned by the interested stockholder at or subsequent to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder. These restrictions do not apply if, among other things, the Company's certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not contain such an election. However, our Board of Directors has exercised its right under Section 203 to approve the acquisition of our common stock in the Distribution by members of the Dolan Family Group. This has the effect of making Section 203 inapplicable to transactions between the Company and current and future members of the Dolan Family Group.

**Limitation on Personal Liability** 

We have provided, consistent with the Delaware General Corporation Law, in our certificate of incorporation that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

• any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

• acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

• payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

• any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Neither the amendment nor repeal of such provision will adversely affect any right or protection of a person that exists at the time of such amendment or repeal.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**INDEMNIFICATION** 

**OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS** 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any current or former director, officer or employee or other individual against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative actions or proceedings, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if the director, officer, employee or other individual acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended and supplemented, or by any successor thereto, the Company will indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section. Such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The right to indemnification provided under the certificate of incorporation is not exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that no amendment, modification or repeal of the indemnification provision shall adversely affect any right or protection of a person that exists at the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Prior to the Distribution, we expect to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements will provide that we will, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, and subject to the terms and conditions of each indemnification agreement, indemnify each director and executive officer against certain types of liabilities and pay or reimburse certain expenses if the director or executive officer is involved in any manner (including as a party or witness) in certain types of proceedings by reason of the fact of such person's service as a director, officer, partner, trustee, fiduciary, manager or employee of the Company or of any other corporation, limited liability company, public limited company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, fund or other enterprise (a) affiliated with the Company or (b) at the written request of the Board, a Board committee, the Executive Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Distribution Agreement between us and MSG Entertainment provides for indemnification by us of MSG Entertainment and its directors, officers and employees and by MSG Entertainment of us and our directors, officers and employees for some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The amount of these indemnity obligations is unlimited.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of MSGE Spinco, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements** 

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of MSGE Spinco, Inc. (the traditional live entertainment business of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.) (the "Company") as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the related combined statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and divisional equity (deficit) for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement Schedule II (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion** 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Emphasis of Matter** 

As described in Notes 1 and 19 to the financial statements, the financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. These financial statements include transactions with related parties and allocations for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis, which may not be indicative of the conditions that would have existed, or actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Company, and may not reflect its combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it operated without such affiliations and had been a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

All amounts included in the following Notes to Combined Financial Statements are presented in thousands, except as otherwise noted.

**Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation** 

*The Proposed Distribution* 

On December 6, 2022, the board of directors of MSG Entertainment authorized MSG Entertainment management to explore a potential tax-free spin-off of the traditional live entertainment business from the MSG Sphere, MSG Networks, and Tao Group Hospitality businesses, and approved the filing of a Form 10 registration statement and amendments thereto.

MSGE Spinco, Inc. ("Spinco" or the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 15, 2022 to be the company to hold the traditional live entertainment business of MSG Entertainment. In the first step of the transaction, record holders of MSG Entertainment Class A and Class B common stock would receive a pro-rata distribution expected to be equivalent, in aggregate, to approximately 67% of the economic interest in the Company (the "Distribution"). The remaining approximately 33% economic interest in the Company would be retained by MSG Entertainment, subject to completion of the Distribution. Completion of the Distribution is subject to various conditions, including final approval by the board of directors of MSG Entertainment, receipt of a tax opinion from counsel and the filing and effectiveness of the registration statement with the SEC (defined below). References to "Spinco" or the "Company" include the subsidiaries of MSG Entertainment that will be subsidiaries of the Company at the time of the Distribution. MSG Entertainment will be required by applicable tax rules to dispose of the retained interest within a fixed period of time, which may occur through a series of steps including sales, exchange offers or pro rata distributions. MSG Entertainment expects to dispose of such retained interest within one year of the date of the Distribution, subject to market conditions.

*Description of Business* 

The Company is a live entertainment company, comprised of iconic venues, and marquee entertainment content. Utilizing the Company's powerful brands and live entertainment expertise, the Company delivers unique experiences that set the standard for excellence and innovation while forging deep connections with diverse and passionate audiences.

The Company is comprised of one reportable segment. The Company's decision to organize as one reportable segment is based upon the manner in which its operations are managed, and the criteria used by the Company's Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), to evaluate segment performance. The Company's CODM reviews total company operating results to assess overall performance and allocate resources.

The Company's portfolio of venues includes: Madison Square Garden ("The Garden"), Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden ("Hulu Theater"), Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, and The Chicago Theatre. The Company also owns and produces the original production, the *Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes* (the "*Christmas Spectacular*"). The Company also has a bookings business, which showcases a broad array of compelling concerts, family shows and special events, as well as a diverse mix of sporting events, for millions of guests annually.

The Company conducts a significant portion of its operations at venues that it either owns or operates under long-term leases. The Company owns The Garden, Hulu Theater and The Chicago Theatre, and leases Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre.

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

All of the Company's revenues and assets are attributed to or located in the United States and are primarily concentrated in the New York City metropolitan area.

**Basis of Presentation** 

The Company reports on a fiscal year basis ending on June 30. In these combined financial statements, the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are referred to as "Fiscal Year 2022," "Fiscal Year 2021," and "Fiscal Year 2020," respectively, and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 is referred to as "Fiscal Year 2023."

The combined financial statements of the Company (the "combined financial statements") were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of MSG Entertainment. These financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1-B, *Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity*. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in these footnotes are to the *FASB Accounting Standards Codification,* also referred to as "ASC."

Historically, separate financial statements have not been prepared for the Company and it has not operated as a stand-alone business from MSG Entertainment. The combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by MSG Entertainment or by other MSG Entertainment subsidiaries but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. The combined financial statements are presented as if the Company's businesses had been combined for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities in the combined financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis, as immediately prior to the Distribution of all of the assets and liabilities presented are wholly owned by MSG Entertainment and are being transferred to the Company at a carry-over basis.

Fiscal Year 2020 includes additional carve-out allocations as the combined financial statements for the period from July 1, 2019 to April 17, 2020 were prepared on a stand alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ("MSG Sports"). This was a result of a distribution of all the outstanding common stock of MSG Entertainment to MSG Sports stockholders on April 17, 2020 (referred herein as the "2020 Entertainment Distribution").

The combined statements of operations include allocations for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis and not historically recorded at the business unit level by MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports (for the period from July 1, 2019 to April 17, 2020), such as expenses related to executive management, finance, legal, human resources, government affairs, information technology, and venue operations, among others. As part of the Distribution, certain corporate and operational support functions are being transferred to the Company and therefore, charges were reflected in order to properly burden all business units comprising MSG Entertainment's historical operations. These expenses have been allocated to MSG Entertainment on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of combined assets, headcount or other measures of the Company or MSG Entertainment, which are recorded as a reduction of either direct operating expenses or selling, general and administrative expense.

Management believes the assumptions underlying the combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating general corporate expenses, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Company and may not reflect its combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a stand-alone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been a

------

**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. The Company is unable to quantify the amounts that it would have recorded during the historical periods on a stand-alone basis as it is not practicable to do so. See Note 19, Related Party Transactions for more information regarding allocations of certain costs from the Company to MSG Entertainment.

MSG Entertainment uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. Cash is managed centrally with net earnings reinvested and working capital requirements met from existing liquid funds. The Company's cash in excess of minimum liquidity requirements under the credit facilities was available for use and was regularly "swept" historically. Cash and cash equivalents were attributed to the Company for each of the periods presented, as such cash was held in accounts legally owned by the Company. See Note 14, Credit Facilities for more information regarding the Company's debt facilities. Transfers of cash both to and from MSG Entertainment are included as components of MSG Entertainment investment on the combined statements of divisional equity (deficit).

MSG Entertainment's net investment in the Company has been presented as a component of divisional equity (deficit) in the combined financial statements. Distributions made by MSG Entertainment to the Company or to MSG Entertainment from the Company are recorded as transfers to and from MSG Entertainment, and the net amount is presented on the combined statements of cash flows as "Net transfers (to)/from MSG Entertainment and MSG Entertainment's subsidiaries."

**Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic** 

The Company's operations and operating results have been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (including COVID-19 variants) and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues during Fiscal Years 2020, 2021 and 2022. For the majority of Fiscal Year 2021, substantially all of our business operations were suspended. Fiscal Year 2022 was also impacted by the pandemic, with fewer ticketed events at our venues in the first half of the fiscal year as compared with Fiscal Year 2019 (the last full fiscal year not impacted by COVID-19) due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, and an increase in COVID-19 cases due to a new variant, which resulted in a number of events at our venues being cancelled or postponed in the fiscal second and third quarters.

As a result of government-mandated assembly limitations and closures, all of our venues were closed beginning in March 2020. Use of The Garden resumed for Knicks and Rangers home games without fans in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively, and was available at 10% seating capacity from February through May 2021 subject to certain safety protocols and social distancing. Beginning in May 2021, all of our New York venues were permitted to host guests at full capacity, subject to certain restrictions, and effective June 2021, The Chicago Theatre was permitted to host events without restrictions. Guests of our Chicago and New York venues were also subject to certain vaccination requirements until February and March 2022, respectively. As a result, our venues no longer require guests to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination before entering (although specific performers may require enhanced protocols).

For Fiscal Year 2021, the majority of ticketed events at our venues were postponed or cancelled. For Fiscal Year 2022 and as of the date of this filing, live events have been permitted to be held at all of our venues and we are continuing to host and book new events. As a result of an increase in cases of a COVID-19 variant, select bookings were postponed or cancelled at our venues in the second and third quarters of Fiscal Year 2022. Variants of COVID-19 that arise in the future may result in additional postponements or cancellations of bookings at our venues.

**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations also included the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular* and the cancellation of the 2020 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*.

The Company's long-term Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports require the Knicks and Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. As discussed above, capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements were in place for the entirety of the Knicks and Rangers 2020-21 regular seasons, which materially impacted the payments we received under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2021. On July 1, 2021, the Knicks and Rangers began paying the full amounts provided for under their respective Arena License Agreements. The Knicks and the Rangers each completed their 2021-2022 82-game regular seasons, with the Rangers advancing to the playoffs.

It is unclear to what extent COVID-19 concerns, including with respect to new variants, could result in new government or league-mandated capacity restrictions or vaccination/mask requirements or impact the use of and/or demand for our venues, demand for our sponsorship and advertising assets, deter our employees and vendors from working at our venues (which may lead to difficulties in staffing) or otherwise materially impact our operations.

**Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

**A. Principles of Combination** 

All significant intracompany transactions and balances within the Company's combined businesses have been eliminated. Certain historical intercompany transactions between MSG Entertainment and the Company have been included as components of MSG Entertainment investment in the combined financial statements, as they are to be considered effectively settled upon effectiveness of the Distribution and were not historically settled in cash. Certain other historical intercompany transactions between MSG Entertainment and the Company have been classified as related party, rather than intercompany, in the combined financial statements as they were historically settled in cash. Expenses related to corporate allocations from the Company to MSG Entertainment prior to the Distribution, are considered to be effectively settled in the combined financial statements at the time the transaction is recorded, with the offset recorded against MSG Entertainment investment. See Note 19, Related Party Transactions, for further information on related party arrangements.

**B. Use of Estimates** 

The preparation of the accompanying combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the provision for credit losses, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related net periodic benefit cost, and other liabilities. In addition, estimates are used in revenue recognition, depreciation and amortization, litigation matters and other matters. Management believes its use of estimates in the financial statements to be reasonable.

Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the general economic environment and actions it may take in the future. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management's best judgment at a point in time and, as such, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results. Changes in estimates resulting from weakness in the economic environment or other factors beyond the Company's control could be material and would be reflected in the Company's financial statements in future periods.

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

**C. Revenue Recognition** 

The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when, or as, control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services ("transaction price"). To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company's judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include such estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company's anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available. The Company accounts for taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and excludes these amounts from revenues.

In addition, the Company defers certain costs to fulfill the Company's contracts with customers to the extent such costs relate directly to the contracts, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company's performance obligations under the contracts, and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contracts. Contract fulfillment costs are expensed as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations.

*Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations* 

The Company enters into arrangements with multiple performance obligations, such as multi-year sponsorship agreements which may derive revenues for the Company, as well as MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports within a single arrangement. The Company also derives revenue from similar types of arrangements which are entered into by MSG Sports. Payment terms for such arrangements can vary by contract, but payments are generally due in installments throughout the contractual term. The performance obligations included in each sponsorship agreement vary and may include advertising and other benefits such as, but not limited to, signage at The Garden and the Company's other venues, digital advertising, event or property-specific advertising, as well as non-advertising benefits such as suite licenses and event tickets. To the extent the Company's multi-year arrangements provide for performance obligations that are consistent over the multi-year contractual term, such performance obligations generally meet the definition of a series as provided for under the accounting guidance. If performance obligations are concluded to meet the definition of a series, the contractual fees for all years during the contract term are aggregated and the related revenue is recognized proportionately as the underlying performance obligations are satisfied.

The timing of revenue recognition for each performance obligation is dependent upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the Company's satisfaction of its respective performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price for such arrangements to each performance obligation within the arrangement based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling price of the performance obligation. The Company's process for determining its estimated stand-alone selling prices involves management's judgment and considers multiple factors including company specific and market specific factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation. Key factors considered by the Company in developing an estimated stand-alone selling price for its performance obligations include, but are not limited to, prices charged for similar performance obligations, the Company's ongoing pricing strategy and policies, and consideration of pricing of similar performance obligations sold in other arrangements with multiple performance obligations.

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

The Company may incur costs such as commissions to obtain its multi-year sponsorship agreements. The Company assesses such costs for capitalization on a contract by contract basis. To the extent costs are capitalized, the Company estimates the useful life of the related contract asset, which may be the underlying contract term or the estimated customer life depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding the contract. The contract asset is amortized over the estimated useful life.

*Principal versus Agent Revenue Recognition* 

The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management's assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the good or service before transfer to the customer. When the Company concludes that it controls the good or service before transfer to the customer, the Company is considered a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis. When the Company concludes that it does not control the good or service before transfer to the customer but arranges for another entity to provide the good or service, the Company acts as an agent and records revenue on a net basis in the amount it earns for its agency service.

*Contract Balances* 

Amounts collected in advance of the Company's satisfaction of its contractual performance obligations are recorded as a contract liability within deferred revenue, and are recognized as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations. Amounts collected in advance of events for which the Company is not the promoter or co-promoter do not represent contract liabilities and are recorded within accrued and other current liabilities on the accompanying combined balance sheets. Amounts recognized as revenue for which the Company has a right to consideration for goods or services transferred to customers and for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to bill as of the reporting date are recorded as contract assets. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable once the Company's right to consideration becomes unconditional.

**D. Direct Operating Expenses** 

Direct operating expenses include, but are not limited to, event costs related to the presentation and production of the Company's live entertainment and sporting events, revenue sharing expenses associated with signage, sponsorship and suite license fee revenue and in-venue food and beverage sales that are attributable to MSG Sports and venue lease, maintenance, and other operating expenses. In addition, for the period July 1, 2019 to April 17, 2020, the direct operating expenses also included revenue sharing expenses associated with the venue-related signage, sponsorship, and suite license fee revenues that are attributable to MSG Sports and an allocation of charges for venue usage to MSG Sports for hosting home games of the Knicks and the Rangers at The Garden.

*Production Costs for the Company's Original Productions* 

The Company defers certain costs of productions such as creative design, scenery, wardrobes, rehearsal and other related costs for the Company's proprietary shows. Deferred production costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the course of a production's performance period using the expected life of a show's assets. Deferred production costs are subject to recoverability assessments whenever there is an indication of potential impairment.

*Allocation of Charges for Venue Usage to MSG Sports* 

For period prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company's combined financial statements included expenses associated with the ownership, maintenance, and operation of The Garden, which the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

Company and MSG Sports use in their respective operations. The Knicks and Rangers are the primary recurring occupants of The Garden, playing their home games at The Garden. The number of home games increases if the Knicks and Rangers qualify for the playoffs. Historically, the Company did not charge rent expense to MSG Sports for use of The Garden. However, for purposes of the Company's combined financial statements, the Company allocated expenses to MSG Sports for the usage of The Garden, which were reported as a reduction of direct operating expense in the accompanying combined statements of operations. This allocation was based on a combination of event count and revenue, which the Company's management believes is a reasonable allocation methodology. The venue usage charge allocated to MSG Sports was $46,072 for the period of July 1, 2019 to April 17, 2020 in Fiscal Year 2020, prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution.

In connection with the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports (see Note 10, Leases for further discussion). Fees recognized by the Company under the Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports for use of The Garden are reported as operating lease revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 842 — *Leases* ("ASC Topic 842").

*Revenue Sharing Expenses* 

As discussed above, prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, MSG Sports' share of the Company's suites license, venue signage and sponsorship revenue, and in-venue food and beverage sales has been reflected within direct operating expense as revenue sharing expenses, where such amounts were either specifically identified where possible or allocated proportionally.

After the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, such revenue sharing expenses are determined based on contractual agreements between the Company and MSG Sports, primarily related to suite license, certain internal signage and in-venue food and beverage sales.

**E. Advertising Expenses** 

Advertising costs are typically charged to expense when incurred. Total advertising costs expensed were $7,995, $269 and $10,895 for Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

**F. Income Taxes** 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 — *Income Taxes* ("ASC Topic 740"). Income taxes as presented herein attribute current and deferred income taxes of MSG Entertainment to the Company's stand-alone financial statements in a manner that is systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC Topic 740.

Accordingly, the Company's income tax provision was prepared following the separate return method. The separate return method applies ASC Topic 740 to the stand-alone financial statements of each member of the combined group as if the group member were a separate taxpayer and the benefits of a consolidated return have been reflected where such returns have or could be filed based on the entities' jurisdictions included in the combined financial statements. As a result, actual tax transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of MSG Entertainment may not be included in the combined financial statements.

Similarly, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the combined financial statements may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and tax returns of MSG Entertainment. Therefore, portions of items such as net operating losses ("NOLs"), tax credit carryforwards, other deferred taxes, and valuation allowances may exist in the combined financial statements that may or may not exist in MSG Entertainment's consolidated financial statements and vice versa.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

In addition, although deferred tax assets have been recognized for NOLs and tax credits in accordance with the separate return method, such NOLs and credits will not carry over with the Company in connection with the Distribution.

**G. Share-based Compensation** 

Certain employees of the Company have historically participated in share-based compensation plans of MSG Entertainment. Share-based compensation expense has been attributed to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to MSG Entertainment's employees. For purposes of the combined financial statements, an allocation to MSG Entertainment of share-based compensation expense related to corporate employees was recorded in addition to the expense attributed to the Company's direct employees. Share-based compensation expense related to directors and corporate executives of MSG Entertainment has been allocated on a proportional basis, which management has deemed to be reasonable.

Following the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity-based instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Share-based compensation cost is recognized in earnings over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, except for restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors which, unless otherwise provided under the applicable award agreement, are fully vested, and are expensed at the grant date.

The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures.

**H. Cash and Cash Equivalents** 

The Company considers the balance of its investment in funds that substantially hold highly liquid securities that mature within three months or less from the date the fund purchases these securities to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents either approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments or is at fair value. Checks outstanding in excess of related book balances are included in accounts payable in the accompanying combined balance sheets. The Company presents the change in these book cash overdrafts as cash flows from operating activities.

**I. Restricted Cash** 

The Company's restricted cash includes cash deposited in escrow accounts. The Company has deposited cash in an interest-bearing escrow account related to credit support, debt facilities, and collateral to its workers compensation and general liability insurance obligations.

The carrying amount of restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

**J. Short-Term Investments** 

Short-term investments include investments that (i) have original maturities of greater than three months and (ii) the Company has the ability to convert into cash within one year. The Company classifies its short-term investments at the time of purchase as "held-to-maturity" and re-evaluates its classification quarterly based on whether the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity. Short-term investments, which are recorded at cost and adjusted for accrued interest, approximate fair value. Cash inflows and outflows related to the sale and purchase of short-term investments are classified as investing activities in the Company's combined statements of cash flows.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

**K. Accounts Receivable** 

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the Company's consideration of credit risk and analysis of receivables aging, specific identification of certain receivables that are at risk of not being paid, past collection experience and other factors.

**L. Investments in Equity Securities** 

For the Company's equity investments with readily determinable fair values, changes in the fair value of those investments are measured monthly and are recorded within Other income (expense), net in the accompanying combined statements of operations.

**M. Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets** 

Property and equipment and other long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, are stated at cost or acquisition date fair value, if acquired. Expenditures for new facilities or equipment, and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment, are capitalized and recorded at cost. The useful lives of the Company's long-lived assets are based on estimates of the period over which the Company expects the assets to be of economic benefit to the Company. In estimating the useful lives, the Company considers factors such as, but not limited to, risk of obsolescence, anticipated use, plans of the Company, and applicable laws and permit requirements. Depreciation starts on the date when the asset is available for its intended use. Construction in progress assets are not depreciated until available for their intended use. Costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

The major categories of property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis using the estimated lives indicated below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Estimated Useful Lives** |
|  Buildings | Up to 40 years |
|  Equipment | 1 year to 20 years |
|  Aircraft | 20 years |
|  Furniture and fixtures | 1 year to 10 years |
|  Leasehold improvements | Shorter of term of lease or useful life of improvement |

---

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Estimated Useful Lives** |
|  Trade names | 7 years |
|  Festival rights | 7 years |
|  Other intangibles | 15 years |

---

**N. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Assets** 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company recognizes separately from goodwill the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in an acquiree, generally at the acquisition date fair value. The Company measures goodwill as of the acquisition date as the excess of consideration transferred, which is also measured at fair value over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Costs that the Company incurs to complete a business combination such as investment banking, legal, and other professional fees are not considered part of consideration and the Company charges these costs to selling, general and administrative expense as they are incurred. In addition, the Company recognizes measurement-period adjustments in the period in which the amount is determined, including the effect on earnings of any amounts the Company would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized.

**O. Impairment of Long-Lived and Indefinite-Lived Assets** 

In assessing the recoverability of the Company's long-lived and indefinite-lived assets, the Company must make estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge. Fair value estimates are made based on relevant information at a specific point in time, and are subjective in nature and involve significant uncertainties and judgments. If these estimates or assumptions change materially, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its long-lived and/or indefinite-lived assets.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of August 31<sup>st</sup> and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If the Company can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would not need to perform a quantitative impairment test for that reporting unit. If the Company cannot support such a conclusion or the Company does not elect to perform the qualitative assessment, the Company would identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of a reporting unit using an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow method, or other acceptable valuation techniques, including the cost approach, in instances when it does not perform the qualitative assessment of goodwill. The amount of an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment as of August 31<sup>st</sup> and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In the qualitative assessment, the Company must evaluate the totality of qualitative factors, including any recent fair value measurements, that impact whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill has a carrying amount that more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The Company must proceed to conducting a quantitative analysis if the Company (i) determines that such an impairment is more likely than not to exist, or (ii) foregoes the qualitative assessment entirely. Under the quantitative assessment, the impairment test for identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company generally determines the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset using an income approach, such as the relief from royalty method, in instances when it does not perform the qualitative assessment of the intangible asset.

For other long-lived assets, including property and equipment, right-of-use lease assets ("ROU") and intangible assets that are amortized, the Company evaluates assets for recoverability when there is an indication of potential impairment. If the undiscounted cash flows from a group of assets being evaluated is less than the carrying value of that group of assets, the fair value of the asset group is determined and the carrying value of the

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

asset group is written down to fair value. The Company generally determines the fair value of a finite-lived intangible asset using an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow method.

See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further discussion of impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.

**P. Leases** 

The Company's leases primarily consist of certain venues, corporate office space, storage and, to a lesser extent, office and other equipment. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the lease term is assessed based on the date when the underlying asset is made available by the lessor for the Company's use. The Company's assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancellable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company's lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the combined statements of operations and statements of cash flows over the lease term.

For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, a lease liability is recorded on the Company's combined balance sheets at lease commencement reflecting the present value of the fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding ROU asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. In addition, the ROU asset is adjusted to reflect any above or below market lease terms under acquired lease contracts.

The Company includes fixed payment obligations related to non-lease components in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities, as the Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. ROU assets associated with finance leases are presented separate from ROU assets associated with operating leases and are included within Property and equipment, net on the Company's combined balance sheets. For purposes of measuring the present value of the Company's fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in the underlying leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company's incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow on a secured basis and incorporates the term and economic environment surrounding the associated lease.

For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, the initial ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term, along with recognition of interest expense associated with accretion of the lease liability, which is ultimately reduced by the related fixed payments. For leases with a term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases"), any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are not recognized on the combined balance sheets. Variable lease costs for both operating and finance leases, if any, are recognized as incurred and such costs are excluded from lease balances recorded on the combined balance sheets.

**Q. Contingencies** 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

**R. Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans** 

As more fully described in Note 15, Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans certain employees of the Company participate in defined benefit pension plans ("Shared Plans") sponsored by MSG Entertainment, which also have historically included participants of MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment. The Company accounts for the Shared Plans under the guidance of ASC Topic 715 *— Compensation — Retirement Benefits* ("ASC Topic 715"). Accordingly, for the Shared Plans' liabilities, the combined financial statements reflected the full impact of such plans on both the combined statements of operations and combined balance sheets and the Company recorded an asset or liability to recognize the funded status of the Shared Plans (other than multiemployer plans), as well as a liability only for any required contributions to the Shared Plans that were accrued and unpaid at the balance sheet date. The related pension expenses attributed to the Company were based primarily on pension-eligible compensation of active participants. The pension expense related to employees of MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports participating in any of the Shared Plans is reflected as a contributory credit from the Company to MSG Entertainment, resulting in a decrease to the expense recognized in the combined statements of operations.

The plan that was sponsored by MSG Entertainment and only included participants of the Company and not of MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment ("Direct Plan") was accounted for as a defined benefit pension plan. Accordingly, the funded and unfunded position of the Direct Plan was recorded in the Company's combined balance sheets, as well as all costs related to the Direct Plan which are recorded in the combined statements of operations.

Actuarial gains and losses that have not yet been recognized through the combined statements of operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost through other comprehensive income (loss).

**S. Fair Value Measurements** 

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity's pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

• Level I — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

• Level II — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

• Level III — Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

**T. Concentrations of Risk** 

Financial instruments that may potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market accounts and time deposits. The Company monitors the financial institutions and money market funds where it invests its cash and cash equivalents with diversification among counterparties to mitigate exposure to any single financial institution. The Company's emphasis is primarily on safety of principal and liquidity, and secondarily on maximizing the yield on its investments.

**U. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements** 

*Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements* 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes*. This ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach in ASC Topic 740 and includes methods of simplification to the existing guidance. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2022. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's combined financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, *Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting*. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the FASB's monitoring of global reference rate activities. The new guidance was effective upon issuance, and the Company is allowed to elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 in Fiscal Year 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's combined financial statements.

**Note 3. Business Disposition** 

*Disposition of The Forum* 

Prior to May 1, 2020, the Company owned the Forum in Inglewood, CA. On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the Forum and settle related litigation for cash consideration in the amount of $400,000, subject to regulatory and other customary closing conditions. The transaction subsequently closed on May 1, 2020, resulting in a total gain on sale of $240,783, net of transaction costs of $50,806 during Fiscal Year 2020, of which $140,495 was attributable to the settlement of the related litigation. The transaction costs included a fee of $48,742 to The Azoff Company Holdings ("Azoff Music") in connection with an agreement made by MSG Sports when the remaining 50% interest of Azoff Music was sold on December 5, 2018.

The Forum met the definition of a business under SEC Regulation S-X Rule 11-01(d)-1 and ASC Topic 805 — *Business Combinations*. This disposition did not represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company's operations, and as such, has not been reflected as a discontinued operation under ASC Subtopic 205-20 — *Discontinued Operations.*

**Note 4. Revenue Recognition** 

For Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, all revenue recognized in the combined statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606 *— Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC Topic 606"), except for revenues from Arena License Agreements. In Fiscal Years 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any material provisions for credit losses on receivables or contract assets arising from contracts with customers.

*Arena License Agreements* 

In connection with the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. These agreements also provide for the provision of certain services by the Company to MSG Sports for MSG

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

Sports events that are held at The Garden and include revenue-sharing provisions for certain agreements entered into by the Company and MSG Sports. The Arena License Agreements contain both lease and non-lease components. The revenue to be recognized with respect to the lease components of the Arena License Agreements is accounted for as operating lease revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 842. The non-lease components are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, as further discussed below.

During Fiscal Years 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $68,072 and $21,345, respectively, of revenues under the Arena License Agreements. With The Garden closed by government mandate, the Company did not recognize operating lease revenue under the Arena License Agreements in Fiscal Year 2020.

*Principal vs. Agent Considerations* 

Revenue for the Company's suite license arrangements is recorded on a gross basis, as the Company is the principal in such transactions and controls the related goods or services before transfer to the customer. MSG Sports is entitled to a share of the Company's suite license revenue pursuant to the terms of the Arena License Agreements, which is recognized in the combined statements of operations as a component of direct operating expenses.

For sponsorship agreements entered into by the Company or by MSG Sports that contain performance obligations satisfied solely by the Company, revenue is generally recorded on a gross basis as the Company is the principal with respect to such performance obligations and controls the related goods or services before transfer to the customer. In accordance with the Arena License Agreements, MSG Sports is entitled to a share of the revenue generated from certain signage performance obligations where the Company is the principal. The Company records this signage revenue on a gross basis and MSG Sports' share of such revenue as a component of direct operating expenses within the combined statements of operations.

For Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded revenue-sharing expense of $92,086, $558 and $110,002, respectively, for MSG Sports' share of the Company's revenues from (i) suite licenses, (ii) certain signage and sponsorships, and (iii) food and beverage based upon the provisions of the underlying contractual arrangements for the period subsequent to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, and on the basis of direct usage when specifically identified or allocated proportionally for all prior periods.

In connection with the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into advertising sales representation agreements with certain subsidiaries of MSG Sports. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has the exclusive right and obligation to sell sponsorship assets on behalf of the respective subsidiaries of MSG Sports. The Company is entitled to both fixed and variable commissions under the terms of these agreements. The Company recognizes the fixed component ratably over the term of the arrangement which corresponds with the Company's satisfaction of its service-based performance obligations. Variable commissions are earned and recognized as the related sponsorship performance obligations are satisfied by MSG Sports. The Company is not the principal in such arrangements as it does not control the related goods or services prior to transfer to the customer. As an agent under these arrangements, the Company recognizes the advertising commission revenue on a net basis.

The Company is also party to an advertising sales representation agreement with MSG Networks. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has the exclusive right and obligation to sell advertising on behalf of MSG Networks and is entitled to and earns commission revenue as the advertisements are aired on MSG Networks. Since the Company acts as an agent, the Company recognizes the advertising commission revenue on a net basis. See Note 19, Related Party Transactions for more information regarding the advertising sales representation agreements with subsidiaries of MSG Sports and MSG Networks.

*Event Related Revenue* 

The Company earns event related revenues principally from the sale of tickets for events that the Company produces or promotes/co-promotes, and from venue license fees charged to third-party promoters for events held at the Company's venues that the Company does not produce or promote/co-promote. The Company's performance obligations with respect to event-related revenues from the sale of tickets, venue license fees from third-party promoters, sponsorships, concessions and merchandise are satisfied at the point of sale or as the related event occurs. As a result of the agreements entered into in connection with the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company also earns revenue from the provision of various event-related services that are incremental to MSG Sports' general use of The Garden. The Company's performance obligations with respect to these event-related services are satisfied as the related event occurs.

The Company's revenues also include revenue from the license of The Garden's suites for the Company's or MSG Sports' events. Suite license arrangements are generally multi-year fixed-fee arrangements that include annual fee increases. Payment terms for suite license arrangements can vary by contract, but payments are generally due in installments prior to each license year. The Company's performance obligation under such arrangements is to provide the licensee with access to the suite when events occur at The Garden. The Company accounts for the performance obligation under these types of arrangements as a series and, as a result, the related suite license fees for all years during the license term are aggregated and revenue is recognized proportionately over the license period as the Company satisfies the related performance obligation. Progress toward satisfaction of the Company's annual suite license performance obligation is measured as access to the suite that is provided to the licensee for each event throughout the contractual term of the license.

*Other Revenue* 

The Company also earns revenues from the sale of advertising in the form of venue signage and other forms of sponsorship, which are not related to any specific event of the Company or MSG Sports. The Company's performance obligations with respect to this advertising are satisfied as the related benefits are delivered over the term of the respective agreements.

space that the Company currently occupies to newly renovated office space within the same building. The Company will not be involved in the design or construction of the new space for purposes of the Company's buildout prior to obtaining possession, which is expected to occur in Fiscal Year 2024. Upon obtaining possession of the space, the new lease is expected to result in an additional lease obligation and right of use asset. While lease payments under the new lease agreement will be recognized as a lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, the Company will begin paying full rent in the second half of Fiscal Year 2026 due to certain tenant incentives included in the arrangement. Base rent payments will increase every five years beginning in Fiscal Year 2031 in accordance with the terms of the lease. The Company anticipates entering into a new sublease agreement with MSG Sports for a lease term equivalent to the November 2021 agreement that MSG Entertainment entered into with the existing landlord. The future lease payments related to this new lease for the next five fiscal years and thereafter are expected to be as follows:

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company's existing operating leases, which are recorded on the accompanying combined financial statements, have remaining lease terms ranging from 0.7 years to 16.1 years.

***Lessor Arrangements***

In connection with the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that, among other things, require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden in exchange for fixed annual license fees scheduled to be paid monthly over the term of the agreements. The Company accounts for these license fees as operating lease revenue given that the Company provides MSG Sports with the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from The Garden during Knicks and Rangers home games. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Arena License Agreements. In the case of the Arena License Agreements, the lease terms relate to non-consecutive periods of use when MSG Sports uses The Garden for their professional sports teams' home games, and operating lease revenue is therefore recognized ratably as events occur.

The Arena License Agreements provide that license fees are not required to be paid by MSG Sports during periods when The Garden is unavailable for use due to a force majeure event. As a result of government-mandated suspension of events at The Garden beginning on March 13, 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Garden was not available for use by MSG Sports from the effective date of the Arena License Agreements through the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021, and, accordingly, the Company did not record any operating lease revenue for this arrangement during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. Use of The Garden resumed for Knicks and Rangers home games without fans in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively, and was available at 10% seating capacity from February through May 2021 when it became available at 100% seating capacity. The Company recorded $68,072 and $21,345 of revenues under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Year 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded revenues from third party and related party lease and sublease arrangements of $3,338 and $2,980 for Fiscal Year 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**Note 11. Goodwill and Intangible Assets** 

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the carrying amount of goodwill was $69,041. No impairment charges were recorded during the periods presented.

See Note 10, Leases for more information regarding the Company's contractually obligated minimum lease payments for operating leases having an initial non-cancelable term in excess of one year for the Company's venues and various corporate offices. These commitments are presented exclusive of the imputed interest used to reflect the payment's present value.

See Note 14, Credit Facilities for more information regarding the principal repayments required under the National Properties Facilities.

*Legal Matters* 

Fifteen complaints were filed in connection with MSG Entertainment's acquisition of MSG Networks Inc. (the "Networks Merger") by purported stockholders of MSG Entertainment and MSG Networks Inc. Nine of these complaints involved allegations of materially incomplete and misleading information set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by MSG Entertainment and MSG Networks Inc. in connection with the Networks Merger. These disclosure actions were subsequently voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. Six complaints involved allegations of fiduciary breaches in connection with the negotiation and approval of the Networks Merger and have since been consolidated into two remaining litigations. MSG Entertainment and MSG Networks Inc. will retain all rights and obligations with respect to these claims, as applicable, and MSG Entertainment will indemnify the Company from and release the Company from all present and future costs, expenses, and liabilities, if any, related to these claims.

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty (including the extent of available insurance, if any), management does not believe that resolution of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

*National Properties Facilities* 

*General.* On June 30, 2022, MSG National Properties, LLC ("MSG National Properties"), MSG Entertainment Group, LLC ("MSG Entertainment Group") and certain subsidiaries of MSG National Properties entered into a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders and L/C issuers party thereto (the "National Properties Credit Agreement"), providing for a five-year, $650,000 senior secured term loan facility (the "National Properties Term Loan Facility") and a five-year, $100,000 revolving credit facility (the "National Properties Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the National Properties Term Loan Facility, the "National Properties Facilities"). As of June 30, 2022, outstanding letters of credit were $6,631 and the remaining balance available under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility was $70,900.

*Proceeds.* The proceeds of the National Properties Facilities were used on the closing date to repay in full the obligations outstanding under MSG National Properties' prior term loan facility (the "Prior National Properties Loan Facility") and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the National Properties Facilities and the refinancing of the Prior National Properties Loan Facility. Up to $25,000 of the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Proceeds of the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility may be used to fund working capital needs, for general corporate purposes of MSG National Properties and its subsidiaries, and to make distributions to MSG Entertainment Group.

*Interest Rates.* Borrowings under the current National Properties Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which at the option of MSG National Properties may be either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum, determined based on the total leverage ratio of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries (the "National Properties Base Rate"), or (b) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum, determined based on the total leverage ratio of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries (the "National Properties SOFR Rate"). The Prior National Properties Loan Facility bore interest at a floating rate, which at the option of MSG National Properties, was either (i) a base rate plus a margin of 5.25% per annum or (ii) LIBOR, with a floor of 0.75%, plus a margin of 6.25% per annum. As of June 30, 2022, the additional rate used in calculating the floating rate was (i) 3.50% per annum for borrowings bearing the National Properties Base Rate, and (ii) 1.63% per annum for borrowings bearing the National Properties SOFR Rate. The National Properties Credit Agreement requires MSG National Properties to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.50% in respect of the daily unused commitments under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility. MSG National Properties is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as well as fronting fees, to banks that issue letters of credit pursuant to the National Properties Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the National Properties Facilities as of June 30, 2022 was 5.13%.

*Principal Repayments.* Subject to customary notice and minimum amount conditions, the Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the National Properties Facilities and terminate commitments under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility, at any time, in whole or in part, subject only to customary breakage costs in the case of prepayment of Term SOFR loans. The National Properties Facilities will mature on June 30, 2027. The principal obligations under the National Properties Term Loan Facility are to be repaid in quarterly installments beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, in an aggregate amount equal to 2.50% per annum (0.625% per quarter), stepping up to 5.0% per annum (1.25% per quarter) in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025, with the balance due at the maturity of the facility. The principal obligations under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility are due at the maturity of the facility.

*Covenants.* The National Properties Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a specified minimum liquidity level, a specified minimum debt service coverage ratio and specified maximum total leverage ratio. The minimum liquidity level is set at $50,000, and is tested based on the level of average daily liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and available revolving commitments, over the last month of each quarter over the life of the National Properties Facilities. The debt service coverage ratio covenant begins testing in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and is set at a ratio of 2:1 before stepping up to 2.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024. The leverage ratio covenant begins testing in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023. It is tested based on the ratio of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries' consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted operating income, with an initial maximum ratio of 6:1, stepping down to 5.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and 4.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2022, MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants of the National Properties Credit Agreement.

In addition to the financial covenants discussed above, the National Properties Credit Agreement and the related security agreement contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The National Properties Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on the ability of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries to take certain actions as provided in (and subject to various exceptions and baskets set forth in) the National Properties Credit Agreement, including the following: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) make investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (iv) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock (which will restrict the ability of MSG National Properties to make cash distributions to the Company); (v) repay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; (vi) change its lines of business; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (viii) amend their respective organizational documents; (ix) merge or consolidate; and (x) make certain dispositions.

*Guarantors and Collateral.* All obligations under the National Properties Facilities are guaranteed by MSG Entertainment Group and MSG National Properties' existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, other than the subsidiaries that own The Garden and certain other excluded subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors").

All obligations under the National Properties Facilities, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain of the assets of MSG National Properties and the Subsidiary Guarantors (collectively, "Collateral") including, but not limited to, a pledge of some or all of the equity interests held directly or indirectly by MSG National Properties in each Subsidiary Guarantor. The Collateral does not include, among other things, any interests in The Garden or the leasehold interests in Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre. Under certain circumstances, MSG National Properties is required to make mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding, including prepayments in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of certain sales of assets or casualty insurance and/or condemnation recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment, repair or replacement rights), subject to certain exceptions.

**Note 15. Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans** 

*Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefit Plans* 

MSG Entertainment sponsors a non-contributory, qualified cash balance retirement plan covering its non-union employees (the "Cash Balance Pension Plan") and an unfunded non-contributory, non-qualified excess cash balance plan covering certain employees who participate in the underlying qualified plan (collectively, the "Cash Balance Plans"). Since March 1, 2011, the Cash Balance Pension Plan has also included the assets and liabilities of a frozen (as of December 31, 2007) non-contributory qualified defined benefit pension plan covering non-union employees hired prior to January 1, 2001. These plans are considered "Shared Plans," as previously defined, with substantially all plan participants specifically identified to the Company.

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

MSG Entertainment also sponsors an unfunded non-contributory, non-qualified defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of certain employees who participated in an underlying qualified plan, which was merged into the Cash Balance Pension Plan on March 1, 2011 (the "Excess Plan"). As of December 31, 2007, the Excess Plan was amended to freeze all benefits earned through December 31, 2007 and to eliminate the ability of participants to earn benefits for future service under these plans. This plan is considered a Shared Plan, as previously defined, with substantially all plan participants specifically identified to the Company.

The Cash Balance Plans were amended to freeze participation and future benefit accruals effective December 31, 2015 for all employees. Therefore, after December 31, 2015, no employee of the Company, MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports who was not already a participant may become a participant in the plans and no further annual pay credits will be made for any future year. Existing account balances under the plans will continue to be credited with monthly interest in accordance with the terms of the plans.

Lastly, MSG Entertainment sponsors a non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan covering certain of the Company's union employees (the "Union Plan"). Benefits payable to retirees under the Union Plan are based upon years of Benefit Service (as defined in the Union Plan document). The Union Plan is considered a Direct Plan, as previously defined.

The Cash Balance Plans, Union Plan, and Excess Plan are collectively referred to as the "Pension Plans."

MSG Entertainment also sponsors a contributory welfare plan which provides certain postretirement healthcare benefits to certain employees of the Company hired prior to January 1, 2001, who are eligible to commence receipt of early or normal benefits under the Cash Balance Pension Plan, and their dependents, as well as certain union employees ("Postretirement Plan").

For the historical periods, MSG Entertainment was the legal sponsor of the Pension Plans and Postretirement Plan. For purposes of the combined financial statements, it was determined that these plans' assets and liabilities were attributable to the Company. Therefore, the combined financial statements reflect the full impact of the Shared Plans and the Direct Plan on both the combined statements of operations and combined balance sheets. The pension expense related to employees of other MSG Entertainment businesses participating in the Shared Plans were immaterial for Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020.

The discount rates were determined (based on the expected duration of the benefit payments for the plans) from the Willis Towers Watson U.S. Rate Link: 40-90 Discount Rate Model as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 to select a rate at which the Company believed the plans' benefits could be effectively settled. This model was developed by examining the yields on selected highly rated corporate bonds. The expected long-term return on plan assets is based on a periodic review and modeling of the plans' asset allocation structures over a long-term horizon. Expectations of returns for each asset class are the most important of the assumptions used in the review and modeling and are based on comprehensive reviews of historical data, forward-looking economic outlook, and economic/financial market theory. The expected long-term rate of return was selected from within the reasonable range of rates determined by (i) historical returns for the asset classes covered by the investment policy and (ii) projections of returns over the long-term period during which benefits are payable to plan participants.

*Plan Assets and Investment Policy* 

The weighted-average asset allocation of the Pension Plans' assets at June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
|  | **2022** | **2021** |
|  **Asset Classes *<sup>(a)</sup>*:** |  |  |
|  Fixed income securities | 78% | 98% |
|  Equity securities | 14% | —% |
|  Cash equivalents | 8% | 2% |
|  | 100% | 100% |

---

------

*<sup>(a)</sup>* *The Company's target allocation for pension plan assets is 85% fixed income securities and 15% equity as of June 30, 2022.* 

Investment allocation decisions have been made by the Company's Investment and Benefits Committee, which considers investment advice provided by the Company's external investment consultant. The investment consultant takes into account expected long-term risks, returns, correlation, and other prudent investment assumptions when recommending asset classes and investment managers to the Company's Investment and Benefits Committee. The investment consultant also considers the pension plans' liabilities when making investment allocation recommendations. The Company's Investment and Benefits Committee's decisions are influenced by asset/liability studies conducted by the external investment consultant who combines actuarial considerations and strategic investment advice. The major investment categories of the pension plan assets are in cash equivalents and long duration fixed income securities that are marked-to-market on a daily basis. As a result, the pension plan assets are subjected to interest-rate risk, specifically to a rising interest rate environment, as the majority of the pension plan assets are invested in long duration fixed income securities. However, the pension plan assets are structured in an asset/liability framework, and consequently, an increase in interest rates would cause a corresponding decrease to the overall liability of the pension plans, thus creating a hedge against rising interest rates. Additional risks involving the asset/liability framework include earning insufficient investment returns to cover future pension plan liabilities and imperfect hedging of such liabilities. In addition, a portion of the long duration fixed income securities portfolio is invested in non-government securities that are subject to credit risk of the issuers who might default on interest and/or principal payments.

*<u>Defined Contribution Plans</u>* 

MSG Entertainment sponsors The Madison Square Garden 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") and the MSG S&E, LLC Excess Savings Plan (collectively referred to as the "Savings Plans"). The 401(k) Plan is a multiple employer plan. For Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, expenses related to the Savings Plans, excluding expenses related to MSG Sports employees, that are included in the accompanying combined statements of operations were $4,284, $2,274, and $3,136, respectively.

In addition, MSG Entertainment sponsors The Madison Square Garden 401(k) Union Plan (the "Union Savings Plan"). The Union Savings Plan is a multiple employer plan. For Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, expenses related to the Union Savings Plan included in the accompanying combined statements of operations were $394, $215 and $539, respectively.

*<u>Multiemployer Plans</u>* 

The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans, multiemployer defined contribution pension plans, and multiemployer health and welfare plans that provide benefits to retired union-represented employees under the terms of collective bargaining agreements ("CBAs").

*Multiemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plans* 

The multiemployer defined benefit pension plans to which the Company contributes generally provide for retirement and death benefits for eligible union-represented employees based on specific eligibility/participant requirements, vesting periods and benefit formulas. The risks to the Company of participating in these multiemployer defined benefit pension plans are different from single-employer defined benefit pension plans in the following aspects:

• Assets contributed to a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan by one employer may be used to provide
benefits to employees of other participating employers.

• If a participating employer stops contributing to a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan, the unfunded
obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

• If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of these multiemployer defined benefit pension plans, the
Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the Company's proportion of the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. However, cessation of participation in a multiemployer defined benefit pension
plan and subsequent payment of any withdrawal liability is subject to the collective bargaining process.

The following table outlines the Company's participation in multiemployer defined benefit pension plans for Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, and summarizes the contributions that the Company has made during each period. The "EIN" and "Pension Plan Number" columns provide the Employer Identification Number and the three-digit plan number for each applicable plan. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 relates to the plan's two most recent years ended which are indicated. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the orange zone are both less than 80% funded and have an accumulated funding deficiency or are expected to have a deficiency in any of the next six plan years, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates whether a funding improvement plan ("FIP") for yellow/orange zone plans or a rehabilitation plan ("RP") for red zone plans is either pending or has been implemented by the trustees of such plan. The zone status and any FIP or RP information is based on information that the Company received from the plan, and the zone status is as certified by the plan's actuary.

*Multiemployer Defined Contribution Pension Plans* 

The Company contributed $5,641, $723 and $5,258 for Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to multiemployer defined contribution pension plans.

**Note 16. Share-based Compensation** 

Certain employees of the Company have historically participated in the share-based compensation plans of MSG Entertainment ("MSG Entertainment Employee Stock Plans"). The plans provide for discretionary grants of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock appreciation rights and other share-based awards. All awards granted under the plans will settle in shares of MSG Entertainment's Class A Common Stock, or, at the option of the Compensation Committee of the MSG Entertainment Board of Directors, in cash. Only the expenses for the awards provided to the Company's direct employees, net of expenses related to the Company's corporate employees who participate in the plans that were charged to MSG Entertainment, are recorded in the combined financial statements.

*Share-based Compensation Expense* 

Share-based compensation expense is generally recognized straight-line over the vesting term of the award, which typically provides for three-year cliff or graded vesting subject to continued employment. For awards that are graded vesting and subject to performance conditions, in addition to continued employment, the Company uses the graded-vesting method to recognize share-based compensation expense.

**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

Share-based compensation expense was recognized in the combined statements of operations as a component of direct operating expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses. Share-based compensation expense was $39,357, $40,663 and $26,110 for Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The share-based compensation expense recorded by the Company, in the periods presented, includes the expenses associated with the employees attributable to the Company, net of contributory credits from the Company to MSG Entertainment for the Company's corporate employees. The total share-based compensation expense for Fiscal Year 2022 includes $1,612 which was reclassified to Restructuring charges in the combined statements of operations, as detailed in Note 5, Restructuring Charges.

*Restricted Stock Units Award Activity* 

The following table summarizes activity related to MSG Entertainment's restricted stock units ("RSUs") held by the Company's direct employees for Fiscal Year 2022:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Number of** | **Number of** | **Weighted-<br>Average**<br>**Fair Value**<br>**Per Share At**<br>**Date of<br>Grant** |

|  Unvested award balance as of June 30, 2022 | 101 | 120 | $76.46 |

---

As of June 30, 2022, there was $9,854 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs and performance stock units ("PSUs") held by the Company's direct employees. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years.

The following table summarizes additional information about restricted stock units:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Fiscal Year Ended** | **For the Fiscal Year Ended** | **For the Fiscal Year Ended** |
|  | **June 30, 2022** | **June 30, 2021** | **June 30, 2020** |
|  Weighted average grant date fair value per share of awards granted | $79.14 | $72.81 | $74.50 |
|  Intrinsic value of awards vested | $2424 | $1396 | $101 |

---

*Stock Options Award Activity* 

Compensation expense for MSG Entertainment stock options held by the Company's employees is determined based on the grant date fair value of the award calculated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. Stock options generally vest over a three years' service period and expire 7.5 to 10 years from the date of grant. None of the Company's direct employees held any stock options during the periods presented. As such, the only cost related to stock options in the combined financial statements relates to allocated costs discussed above for corporate employees.

*<sup>(a)</sup>* *Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss represent curtailments, settlement losses recognized, the amortization of net actuarial gain (loss) and net unrecognized prior service credit included in net periodic benefit cost, which is reflected under Other income (expense), net in the accompanying combined statements of operations (see Note 15, Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans).* 

**Note 18. Income Taxes** 

During the periods presented in the combined financial statements, the Company did not file separate tax returns. The Company was included in the federal and state income tax returns of MSG Entertainment for all periods presented. The income tax expense or benefit presented has been determined on a separate return basis as if the Company filed a separate income tax return.

The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the financial statements as if the Company was a separate taxpayer. The Company believes the assumptions supporting its allocation and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

presentation of income taxes on a separate return basis are reasonable. One of these assumptions is that the Company on a stand-alone basis will not benefit from certain tax incentives that historically benefited MSG Entertainment. However, the taxes recognized in the combined financial statements and resulting effective tax rates may not be reflective of the taxes that the Company expects to recognize in the future as a stand-alone entity.

Income tax expense is comprised of the following components:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Years Ended June 30,** | **Years Ended June 30,** | **Years Ended June 30,** |
|  | **2022** | **2021** | **2020** |
|  Current (expense) benefit: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Federal | $515 | $(2536) | $(41526) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; State and other | (220) | (2247) | (41227) |

|  | (225) | (566) | (17429) |
|  Income tax (expense) benefit | $70 | $(5349) | $(100182) |

---

The income tax (expense) benefit differs from the amount derived by applying the statutory federal rate to pre-tax income (loss) principally due to the effect of the following items:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Years Ended June 30,** | **Years Ended June 30,** | **Years Ended June 30,** |

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company's ability to realize its deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income to allow for the utilization of its NOLs and future deductible temporary differences. As of June 30, 2022, based on current facts and circumstances, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit for a portion of its net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded.

The federal NOL carryforward as of June 30, 2022 is $284,470. The NOL has an unlimited carryforward period. The Company's historical combined financial statements for periods prior to the Distribution reflect NOLs and tax credits calculated on a separate return basis. These NOL carryforwards were calculated as if the Company operated as a separate stand-alone entity. Because the Distribution involves a spin-off of the Company, substantially all of the NOLs and tax credits did not carry over to the Company.

Income tax payments, net of refunds, were $8,956, $15,526 and $54 for Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

*Allocation of Charges for Venue Usage to MSG Sports and Reimbursements under Arena License Arrangements* 

For purposes of the Company's combined financial statements prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, the Company allocated to MSG Sports certain expenses for the usage of The Garden, which were reported as a reduction of direct operating expense in the accompanying combined statements of operations.

After the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, fees recognized by the Company under the Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports for use of The Garden are reported as operating lease revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 842. Because The Garden was closed by government mandate, the Company did not recognize operating lease revenue under the Arena License Agreements for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Starting December 2020, the Garden reopened for games of the Knicks and the Rangers and the Company recorded $68,072 and $21,345 of revenues under the Arena License Agreements for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded credits to direct operating expenses as a reimbursement under the Arena License Agreements of $25,827 and $9,717 for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2021, respectively. No credits were recorded for Fiscal Year 2020.

*Cost reimbursement from MSG Sports* 

Per the TSA described above, the Company's corporate overhead expenses that are charged to MSG Sports are primarily related to centralized functions, including information technology, security, accounts payable, payroll, tax, legal, human resources, insurance and risk management, investor relations, corporate communications, benefit plan administration and reporting, and internal audit.

Prior to the 2020 Entertainment Distribution, allocations of corporate overhead and shared services expense were recorded by both MSG Entertainment, and in turn by the Company, and MSG Sports for corporate and operational functions based on direct usage or the relative proportion of revenue, headcount or other measures of MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports.

*Corporate allocations to MSG Entertainment* 

As part of the Distribution, certain corporate and operational support functions are being transferred to the Company and therefore, charges were reflected in order to properly burden all business units comprising MSG Entertainment's historical operations. Allocations of corporate overhead and shared services expense to MSG Entertainment from the Company were recorded for corporate and operational functions based on direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of combined assets, headcount or other measures of the Company or MSG Entertainment, which is recorded as a reduction of either direct operating expenses or selling, general and administrative expense. The aforementioned allocations for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis and not historically recorded at the business unit level by MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports (for the period from July 1, 2019 to April 17, 2020), related to departments such as executive management, finance, legal, human resources, government affairs, and information technology, among others. In addition, corporate allocations to MSG Entertainment include charges to MSG Networks under the MSG Networks Services Agreement.

*Other Operating Expenses, net* 

The Company and its related parties enter into transactions with each other in the ordinary course of business. Amounts charged to the Company for other transactions with its related parties are net of amounts charged by the Company to the Knickerbocker Group, LLC, an entity owned by James L. Dolan, the Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, for office space and the cost of certain

technology services. In addition, other operating expenses primarily include net charges relating to (i) reciprocal aircraft arrangements between the Company and each of Q2C and CFD, (ii) time sharing and/or dry lease agreements with MSG Sports, AMC Networks and Brighid Air, (iii) commission under the group ticket sales representation agreement with MSG Sports, and (iv) expenses for advertising and promotional services rendered by MSG Networks. The reciprocal aircraft arrangement between the Company and Q2C and the related aircraft support services arrangement between them was no longer effective as of December 21, 2021.

*Loans Receivable from MSG Entertainment* 

The Company's captive insurance entity, Eden Insurance Company, Inc. ("Eden"), entered into a loan agreement with MSG Entertainment (the "Eden Loan Agreement"), under which Eden granted MSG Entertainment an unsecured loan bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points with a principal amount not exceeding $60,000. This loan is in the form of a demand promissory note, payable immediately upon order from Eden. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, Eden had an outstanding loan receivable from MSG Entertainment of $56,060 and $57,962, respectively, inclusive of accrued interest. During Fiscal Year 2022, Eden declared and paid dividends to MSG Entertainment through a reduction of the loan receivable from MSG Entertainment. During Fiscal Year 2021, no interest or principal payments were received by Eden. Instead, the accrued but unpaid interest was added to the outstanding principal amount of the loan. The cash flows related to this loan receivable are reflected as investing activities, as these balances represent amounts loaned by the Company to MSG Entertainment. The Company expects that the outstanding loan payable will be transferred by MSG Entertainment to the Company prior to the Distribution. The Company recorded related party interest income of $2,117, $1,888 and $2,798 related to the Eden Loan Agreement in Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020.

On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a subordinated credit agreement with TAO Group Sub-Holdings, LLC ("TAOG Sub-Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSG Entertainment (the "TAO Subordinated Credit Agreement"), under which the Company granted TAOG Sub-Holdings a $49,000 subordinated loan. This loan had a maturity date of August 22, 2024. On June 15, 2020, the TAO Subordinated Credit Agreement was amended to provide an additional $22,000 of borrowing capacity. The Company provided additional proceeds of $14,000 and $5,000 during Fiscal Years 2021 and 2020, respectively, under the TAO Subordinated Credit Agreement. There are no mandatory repayments of principal until the maturity date. Subject to customary notice and minimum amount conditions, TAOG Sub-Holdings can voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the TAO Subordinated Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Interest is due monthly in cash or paid-in-kind based on the terms of the TAO Senior Credit Agreement. During Fiscal Year 2020, on behalf of TAOG Sub-Holdings, MSG Entertainment made a voluntary principal payment and interest payments of $5,000 and $3,546, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an outstanding loan receivable from MSG Entertainment related to this loan of $66,902, inclusive of accrued interest, and on June 9, 2022, MSG Entertainment paid the full outstanding principal amount of this TAO Subordinated Credit Agreement. The cash flows related to this loan receivable are reflected as investing activities, as these balances represent amounts loaned by the Company to MSG Entertainment. The Company recorded related party interest income of $4,420, $4,525 and $4,531 related to the TAO Subordinated Credit Agreement in Fiscal Years 2022, 2021 and 2020.

*<u>Cash Management</u>*

MSG Entertainment uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. The Company's and MSG Entertainment's other subsidiaries' cash was available for use and was regularly "swept" historically. Cash and cash equivalents was attributed to the Company for each of the periods presented, as such cash was held in accounts legally owned by the Company. Transfers of cash both to and from MSG Entertainment were included as components of MSG Entertainment's Investment on the combined statements of

**NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

divisional equity (deficit). The main components of the net transfers (to)/from MSG Entertainment are cash pooling/general financing activities, various expense allocations to/from MSG Entertainment, and receivables/payables from/(to) MSG Entertainment deemed to be effectively settled upon the distribution of the Company by MSG Entertainment.

*<u>MSG Entertainment Investment</u>*

Certain significant balances and transactions among the Company and MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries, which include allocations of corporate general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation expense and other historical intercompany activities, are recorded as components of Divisional Equity (Deficit), except for the transactions noted above related to historically cash-settled loans between the Company and MSG Entertainment. The changes in MSG Entertainment Investment also include financing activities for capital transfers, cash sweeps, and other treasury services. As part of this activity, cash balances are swept to MSG Entertainment regularly as part of the MSG Entertainment cash management policy.

**Note 20. Concentrations of Risk** 

As of June 30, 2022, approximately 4,200 full-time and part-time employees, who represent approximately 63% of the Company's workforce, are subject to CBAs. Approximately 7% are subject to CBAs that expired as of June 30, 2022 and approximately 47% are subject to CBAs that will expire by June 30, 2023, if they are not extended prior thereto.

**Note 21. Subsequent Events** 

The Company evaluated subsequent events for the period from June 30, 2022 through January 13, 2023, the date the combined financial statements were available for issuance. On December 2, 2022, the Company sold its 85% controlling interest in BCE for approximately $10,000. Additionally, on December 30, 2022, the Company sold a corporate aircraft for approximately $20,400.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)** 

All amounts included in the following Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements (unaudited) are presented in thousands, except as otherwise noted.

**Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation** 

*The Proposed Distribution* 

On December 6, 2022, the board of directors of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. ("MSG Entertainment") authorized MSG Entertainment management to explore a potential tax-free spin-off of the traditional live entertainment business from the MSG Sphere, MSG Networks, and Tao Group Hospitality businesses, and approved the filing of a Form 10 registration statement and amendments thereto.

MSGE Spinco, Inc. ("Spinco" or the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 15, 2022 to be the company to hold the traditional live entertainment business of MSG Entertainment. In the first step of the transaction, record holders of MSG Entertainment Class A and Class B common stock would receive a pro-rata distribution expected to be equivalent, in aggregate, to approximately 67% of the economic interest in the Company (the "Distribution"). The remaining approximately 33% economic interest in the Company would be retained by MSG Entertainment, subject to completion of the Distribution. Completion of the Distribution is subject to various conditions, including final approval by the board of directors of MSG Entertainment, receipt of a tax opinion from counsel and the filing and effectiveness of the registration statement with the SEC (defined below). References to "Spinco" or the "Company" include the subsidiaries of MSG Entertainment that will be subsidiaries of the Company at the time of the Distribution. MSG Entertainment will be required by applicable tax rules to dispose of the retained interest within a fixed period of time, which may occur through a series of steps including sales, exchange offers or pro rata distributions. MSG Entertainment expects to dispose of such retained interest within one year of the date of the Distribution, subject to market conditions.

*Description of Business* 

The Company is a live entertainment company, comprised of iconic venues, and marquee entertainment content. Utilizing the Company's powerful brands and live entertainment expertise, the Company delivers unique experiences that set the standard for excellence and innovation while forging deep connections with diverse and passionate audiences. The Company is comprised of one reportable segment. As of December 31, 2022, there have been no changes to the reportable segment of the Company. See Note 1, Description and Basis of Presentation to the Company's audited combined financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the three years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (the "Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements") for additional information regarding the details of the Company's business.

**Basis of Presentation** 

The Company reports on a fiscal year basis ending on June 30<sup>th</sup> ("Fiscal Year"). In these unaudited condensed combined interim financial statements, the years ended on June 30, 2023 and 2022 are referred to as "Fiscal Year 2023" and "Fiscal Year 2022," respectively.

The accompanying interim condensed combined financial statements of the Company (the "condensed combined financial statements") were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of MSG Entertainment. These financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions of Rule

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)** 

10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1-B, *Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity*, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in these footnotes are to the *FASB Accounting Standards Codification,* also referred to as "ASC."

Historically, separate financial statements have not been prepared for the Company and it has not operated as a stand-alone business from MSG Entertainment. The condensed combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by MSG Entertainment or by other MSG Entertainment subsidiaries but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. The condensed combined financial statements are presented as if the Company's businesses had been combined for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities in the condensed combined financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis, as immediately prior to the Distribution of all of the assets and liabilities presented are wholly owned by MSG Entertainment and are being transferred to the Company at a carry-over basis.

The condensed combined statements of operations include allocations for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis and not historically recorded at the business unit level by MSG Entertainment, such as expenses related to executive management, finance, legal, human resources, government affairs, and information technology, among others. As part of the Distribution, certain corporate and operational support functions are being transferred to the Company and therefore, charges were reflected in order to properly burden all business units comprising MSG Entertainment's historical operations. These expenses have been allocated to MSG Entertainment on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of combined assets, headcount or other measures of the Company or MSG Entertainment, which are recorded as a reduction of either direct operating expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses.

Management believes the assumptions underlying the condensed combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating general corporate expenses, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the condensed combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Company and may not reflect its combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a stand-alone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. The Company is unable to quantify the amounts that it would have recorded during the historical periods on a stand-alone basis as it is not practicable to do so. See Note 14, Related Party Transactions for more information regarding allocations of certain costs from the Company to MSG Entertainment.

MSG Entertainment uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. Cash is managed centrally with net earnings reinvested and working capital requirements met from existing liquid funds. The Company's cash in excess of minimum liquidity requirements under the credit facilities was available for use and was regularly "swept" historically. Cash and cash equivalents were attributed to the Company for each of the periods presented, as such cash was held in accounts legally owned by the Company. See Note 10, Credit Facilities for more information regarding the Company's debt facilities. Transfers of cash both to and from MSG Entertainment are included as components of MSG Entertainment investment on the condensed combined statements of divisional equity (deficit).

MSG Entertainment's net investment in the Company has been presented as a component of divisional equity (deficit) in the condensed combined financial statements. Distributions made by MSG Entertainment to

------

**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)** 

the Company or to MSG Entertainment from the Company are recorded as transfers to and from MSG Entertainment, and the net amount is presented on the condensed combined statements of cash flows as "Net transfers to MSG Entertainment and MSG Entertainment's subsidiaries."

The condensed combined financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 presented herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed combined balance sheet as of Fiscal Year 2022 was derived from the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements.

The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year. As a result of the production of the *Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes* (the "*Christmas Spectacular*"), and arena license fees in connection with the use of Madison Square Garden ("The Garden") by the New York Knicks (the "Knicks") of the National Basketball Association (the "NBA") and the New York Rangers (the "Rangers") of the National Hockey League (the "NHL"), the Company generally earns a disproportionate share of its annual revenues in the second and third quarters of its fiscal year.

**Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic** 

The Company's operations and operating results were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the six months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year period, which was impacted by (i) fewer ticketed events at our venues due to the lead-time required to book touring acts and artists, (ii) the postponement or cancellation of select bookings at our venues (including the partial cancellation of the 2021 production of the *Christmas Spectacular*), and (iii) certain regulatory requirements, including vaccination/mask requirements for our venues. See Note 1, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to the Company's Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements for additional information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business.

It is unclear to what extent COVID-19 concerns, including with respect to new variants, could result in new government or league-mandated capacity restrictions or vaccination/mask requirements or impact the use of and/or demand for our venues, demand for our sponsorship and advertising assets, deter our employees and vendors from working at our venues (which may lead to difficulties in staffing) or otherwise materially impact our operations.

**Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

**A. Principles of Combination** 

All significant intracompany transactions and balances within the Company's condensed combined businesses have been eliminated. Certain historical intercompany transactions between MSG Entertainment and the Company have been included as components of MSG Entertainment investment in the condensed combined financial statements, as they are to be considered effectively settled upon effectiveness of the Distribution and were not historically settled in cash. Certain other historical intercompany transactions between MSG Entertainment and the Company have been classified as related party, rather than intercompany, in the condensed combined financial statements as they were historically settled in cash. Expenses related to corporate allocations from the Company to MSG Entertainment prior to the Distribution, are considered to be effectively settled in the condensed combined financial statements at the time the transaction is recorded, with the offset recorded against MSG Entertainment investment. See Note 14, Related Party Transactions, for further information on related party arrangements.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)** 

The Company disposed of its controlling interest in Boston Calling Events ("BCE") on December 2, 2022 and these condensed combined financial statements reflect the results of operations of BCE until its disposition. See Note 3, Dispositions, for details regarding the disposal.

**B. Use of Estimates** 

The preparation of the accompanying condensed combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the provision for credit losses, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and the related net periodic benefit cost, and other liabilities. In addition, estimates are used in revenue recognition, performance and share based compensation, depreciation and amortization, litigation matters and other matters. Management believes its use of estimates in the financial statements to be reasonable.

Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the general economic environment and actions it may take in the future. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management's best judgment at a point in time and, as such, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results. Changes in estimates resulting from weakness in the economic environment or other factors beyond the Company's control could be material and would be reflected in the Company's condensed combined financial statements in future periods.

**C. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements** 

*Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements* 

No recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to materially impact the Company's financial statements.

*Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements* 

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, *Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With Customers*. This ASU requires that the acquiring entity in a business combination recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in accordance with ASC Topic 606. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2023. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's condensed combined financial statements.

**Note 3. Dispositions** 

***Disposition of Our Interest in Boston Calling Events***

The Company entered into an agreement on December 1, 2022 to sell its controlling interest in BCE (the "BCE Disposition"). The transaction closed on December 2, 2022, resulting in a total gain on sale of $8,744, net of transaction costs. BCE meets the definition of a business under SEC Regulation S-X Rule 11-01(d)-1 and FASB ASC Topic 805 — *Business Combinations*. This disposition does not represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company's operations, and as such, has not been reflected as a discontinued operation under FASB ASC Subtopic 205-20 — *Discontinued Operations*. The gain on the BCE Disposition was recorded in Gains, net on dispositions in the condensed combined statements of operations.

**Note 4. Revenue Recognition** 

**Contracts with Customers** 

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4, Revenue Recognition, to the Company's Audited Combined Annual Financial Statements for more information regarding the details of the Company's revenue recognition policies. All revenue recognized in the condensed combined statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606, except for revenues from the arena license agreements that require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden (the "Arena License Agreements"), leases and subleases that are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842.

------

*<sup>(a)</sup>* *Receivables from contracts with customers, which are reported in Accounts receivable, net and Related party receivables, current in the Company's condensed combined balance sheets, represent the Company's unconditional rights to consideration under its contracts with customers. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company's receivables from contracts with customers above included $12,270 and $4,163, respectively, related to various related parties. See Note 14, Related Party Transactions for further details on related party arrangements.*

***Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations***

As of December 31, 2022, the Company's remaining performance obligations were approximately $535,000, of which 45% is expected to be recognized over the next two years and an additional 36% of the balance is expected to be recognized in the following two years. This primarily relates to performance obligations under sponsorship and suite license agreements that have original expected durations longer than one year and for which the consideration is not variable. In developing the estimated revenue, the Company applies the allowable practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

**Note 5. Restructuring Charges** 

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, MSG Entertainment implemented a cost reduction program which resulted in the recording of termination benefits for a workforce reduction of certain executives and employees. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $7,359, net of contributory credits from the Company to MSG Entertainment for the Company's corporate employees, during the six months ended December 31, 2022.

*General.* On June 30, 2022, MSG National Properties, LLC ("MSG National Properties"), MSG Entertainment Group, LLC ("MSG Entertainment Group") and certain subsidiaries of MSG National Properties entered into a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders and L/C issuers party thereto (the "National Properties Credit Agreement"), providing for a five-year, $650,000 senior secured term loan facility (the "National Properties Term Loan Facility") and a five-year, $100,000 revolving credit facility (the "National Properties Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the National Properties Term Loan Facility, the "National Properties Facilities"). As of December 31, 2022, outstanding letters of credit were $7,860 and the remaining balance available under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility was $63,040.

*Interest Rates.* Borrowings under the current National Properties Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which at the option of MSG National Properties may be either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum, determined based on the total leverage ratio of MSG National Properties and its

------

**MSGE SPINCO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)** 

restricted subsidiaries (the "National Properties Base Rate"), or (b) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum, determined based on the total leverage ratio of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries (the "National Properties SOFR Rate"). The National Properties Credit Agreement requires MSG National Properties to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.50% in respect of the daily unused commitments under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility. MSG National Properties is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as well as fronting fees, to banks that issue letters of credit pursuant to the National Properties Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the National Properties Facilities as of December 31, 2022 was 8.18%.

*Principal Repayments.* Subject to customary notice and minimum amount conditions, the Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the National Properties Facilities and terminate commitments under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility, at any time, in whole or in part, subject only to customary breakage costs in the case of prepayment of Term SOFR loans. The principal obligations under the National Properties Term Loan Facility are to be repaid in quarterly installments beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, in an aggregate amount equal to 2.50% per annum (0.625% per quarter), stepping up to 5.0% per annum (1.25% per quarter) in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025, with the balance due at the maturity of the facility on June 30, 2027. The principal obligations under the National Properties Revolving Credit Facility are due at the maturity of the facility. Under certain circumstances, MSG National Properties is required to make mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding, including prepayments in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of certain sales of assets or casualty insurance and/or condemnation recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment, repair, or replacement rights), subject to certain exceptions.

*Covenants.* The National Properties Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a specified minimum liquidity level, a specified minimum debt service coverage ratio and specified maximum total leverage ratio. The minimum liquidity level is set at $50,000, and is tested based on the level of average daily liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and available revolving commitments, over the last month of each quarter over the life of the National Properties Credit Facilities. The debt service coverage ratio covenant began testing in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and is set at a ratio of 2:1 before stepping up to 2.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024. The leverage ratio covenant begins testing in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023. It is tested based on the ratio of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries' consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted operating income, with an initial maximum ratio of 6:1, stepping down to 5.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 and 4.5:1 in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2022, MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants of the National Properties Credit Agreement.

In addition to the financial covenants discussed above, the National Properties Credit Agreement and the related security agreement contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The National Properties Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on the ability of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries to take certain actions as provided in (and subject to various exceptions and baskets set forth in) the National Properties Credit Agreement, including the following: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) make investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (iv) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock (which will restrict the ability of MSG National Properties to make cash distributions to the Company); (v) repay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; (vi) change its lines of business; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (viii) amend their respective organizational documents; (ix) merge or consolidate; and (x) make certain dispositions.
