**Item 1.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

<u>Indenture and Notes</u>

On October 10, 2025, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") closed its previously announced offering of $1.3 billion principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Notes"). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of October 10, 2025 between the Company and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

In connection therewith, on October 8, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain initial purchasers (the "Initial Purchasers") agreeing, subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell the Notes to the Initial Purchasers. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, October 10, 2025, up to an additional $100.0 million principal amount of Notes.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering, together with borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility referenced below, (i) to fund the redemption (the "Redemption") in full of all of the Company's 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), (ii) to repay in full amounts outstanding under the Company's term loan B facility and the revolving credit facilities under the Company's existing senior secured credit facility, (iii) to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the uses described in clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) for general corporate purposes, which may include funding future venues or the repayment or repurchase of certain of its outstanding indebtedness.

The Notes will be the Company's senior, unsecured obligations and will be (i) equal in right of payment to the rights of creditors under the Company's other existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the rights of creditors under indebtedness expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company's subsidiaries. The Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Company's subsidiaries.

The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 2.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2026. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Notes are convertible, at a holder's election, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, with such form of consideration at the Company's election, based on the applicable conversion rate and only under certain circumstances specified within the Indenture. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 4.4459 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $224.93 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. Holders will not receive any cash payment or additional shares representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a Note, except in limited circumstances. Instead, interest will be deemed paid by the cash, shares of the Company's common stock or the combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock paid or delivered, as the case may be, to a holder upon conversion.

The Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company's option, on a redemption date occurring on or after October 20, 2028 and before the 41st scheduled trading day before the maturity date, but only if (i) the Notes are "freely tradable" (as defined in the Indenture) as of the date the Company sends the related notice of redemption, and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full, as of the most recent interest payment date occurring on or before the date the Company sends such notice of redemption and (ii) the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for each of the last 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of such redemption, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of such redemption. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a "Fundamental Change" (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change repurchase date. The definition

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company's common stock.

If an event of default as defined in the Indenture occurs and is continuing (other than specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare all the outstanding Notes to be immediately due and payable. If an event of default relating to specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company occurs, all the outstanding Notes will automatically become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holders of the Notes.

With the exception of covenants restricting the Company's ability to merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of the Company's assets, the Indenture does not provide for restrictive covenants.

In connection with the Redemption, on October 9, 2025, the Company issued a notice of conditional full redemption to redeem the 2026 Notes on November 8, 2025 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price determined in accordance with the indenture governing the 2026 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Following the Notes offering, the Company intends to amend, amend and restate or refinance the Company's existing senior secured credit facility pursuant to which the Company expects to obtain, (i) a term loan B facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion, (ii) a $700 million delayed draw term loan A facility, (iii) a $1.3 billion multicurrency revolving credit facility, and (iv) a $400 million venue expansion revolving credit facility.

The above description of the Indenture and the Notes is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Indenture and the form of the certificate representing the Notes will be filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and the above summary is qualified by reference to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes set forth in such exhibits.

**Item 2.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.** 

The information set forth under Item 1.01 "Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement" is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

**Item 3.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

The information set forth under Item 1.01 is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference. The Notes were issued to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in transactions not involving any public offering, and the Initial Purchasers resold the Notes in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers," as defined therein. Any shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes will be issued in reliance upon Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as involving an exchange by the Company exclusively with its security holders. Assuming the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, initially, a maximum of 9,336,320 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued upon conversion of the Notes, based on the initial maximum conversion rate of 6.6688 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

**Item 8.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Events.**

On October 8, 2025, the Company issued two press releases, one announcing that it had launched its private offering of Notes and one announcing that it had priced its private offering of Notes. Copies of these press releases are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

**LIVE NATION ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES OFFERING**

**LOS ANGELES (October 8, 2025)** – Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: LYV) (the "company") today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $1.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the "Convertible Notes"). The company intends to use the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering, together with borrowings under the new senior secured credit facility, (i) to fund the redemption in full of all of the company's 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026, (ii) to repay in full amounts outstanding under the company's term loan B facility and the revolving credit facility under the company's existing senior secured credit facility, (iii) to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the uses described in clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) for general corporate purposes, which may include funding future venues or the repayment or repurchase of certain of its outstanding indebtedness.

In connection with the Convertible Notes offering, the company expects to grant the initial purchasers the right to purchase, for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date the Convertible Notes are first issued, up to an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, then the company intends to use the additional net proceeds from the sale of the additional Convertible Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or repurchase of certain of the company's outstanding indebtedness.

The Convertible Notes will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on October 15, 2031, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2031, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods; on or after July 15, 2031, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes will receive shares of the company's common stock, cash or a combination thereof, at the company's election. Holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right to require the company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events constituting a "fundamental change" as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes. The company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to October 20, 2028. The company may redeem for cash all or any portion of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

the Convertible Notes (subject to certain limitations), at its option, on a redemption date occurring on or after October 20, 2028 and before the 41st scheduled trading day before the maturity date, but only if (i) the Convertible Notes are "freely tradable" as of the date the company sends the related notice of redemption, and all accrued and unpaid additional interest, if any, has been paid in full as of the most recent interest payment date occurring on or before the date the company sends the related notice of redemption and (ii) the last reported sale price of the company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The closing of the other transactions is not a condition to the closing of the sale of the Convertible Notes.

The Convertible Notes will be offered through a private placement and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. As a result, the Convertible Notes and any common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Convertible Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" under Rule 144A of the Securities Act.
