Mr. Emanuel is the record holder of 23,810 shares of Class A Common Stock, 5,959,889 Profits Units and 4,193,328 Endeavor Operating Company Units. Mr. Emanuel’s personal revocable trust, for which he is acting as sole trustee and is sole lifetime beneficiary, is the record holder of 1,807,437 shares of Class A Common Stock.
