    ITEM 4.

    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

    Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

    OpenBet and IMG Arena Acquisitions

    On November 11, 2024, WME IMG, LLC (“Transferor”), an indirect controlled subsidiary of the Issuer, entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”), with OB US Parent, LLC (“OpenBet”) and IMG Arena US Parent, LLC (“IMG Arena” and, together with OpenBet, collectively, the “Companies”) and OB Global Holdings LLC (“Acquiror”), an entity affiliated with Mr. Emanuel and certain members of OpenBet management. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, among other things, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Acquiror will acquire all outstanding equity interests in the Companies for consideration valued at approximately $450 million (the “Acquisitions”), subject to certain adjustments, consisting of (i) a $100 million cash payment, subject to specified adjustments as set forth in the Transaction Agreement, and (ii) an unsecured promissory note with a make-whole value of approximately $350 million upon the occurrence of certain events, including a voluntary prepayment or a change of control of Acquiror, substantially in the form attached to the Transaction Agreement (the “Seller Note”).

    The Transaction Agreement contemplates that the parties will enter into the Seller Note and certain other ancillary agreements as of the consummation of the Acquisitions (the “Closing”), including a transition services agreement, pursuant to which Transferor will provide specified services and licenses to Acquiror following Closing in connection with Acquiror’s operation of the Companies. In addition, Acquiror entered into an equity commitment letter with respect to funds to be made available to Acquiror by Mr. Emanuel or an affiliate of Mr. Emanuel to support the working capital needs of the Companies following the Closing.

    The closing of the Acquisitions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including, among others, (i) the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (ii) obtaining applicable gaming authority approvals, (iii) the absence of any order or legal requirement that enjoins, restrains or otherwise prevents the consummation of the Acquisitions and (iv) the consummation of the pre-closing reorganization contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.

    The Transaction Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto. Between the date of the Transaction Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of the Transaction Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the parties have agreed to certain covenants, including covenants regarding the operation of the Companies and their subsidiaries, receipt of approvals required by applicable gaming regulatory authorities, and the use of reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain other necessary regulatory approvals, subject to certain exceptions.

    Acquiror is subject under the Transaction Agreement to limited indemnification obligations in favor of Transferor in connection with breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of post-closing covenants and assumed liabilities.

    The Transaction Agreement includes customary termination provisions for both the Acquiror and Transferor, whereby the parties may terminate (i) by mutual written consent, (ii) if the closing of the Acquisitions has not occurred by April 2, 2025, as may be adjusted under the Merger Agreement, (iii) following a permanent legal prohibition on consummating the Acquisitions, (iv) following a breach by the other party of its covenants contained in the Transaction Agreement that would result in a failure of a condition to closing of the Acquisitions that is either incapable of being cured, or, if curable, has not been cured by a specified date, and (v) if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

    The parties expect to consummate a further transfer and sale of IMG ARENA in a private transaction following the Closing.

    Exploration of Strategic Acquisitions

    Mr. Emanuel and certain of his affiliates are also discussing and exploring, and expect to continue to discuss and explore, various potential acquisitions with respect to the events assets of the Issuer. Mr. Emanuel currently intends to, either directly or through an affiliate, submit one or more proposals (which could also lead to one or more subsequent revised or different proposals) that could result in Mr. Emanuel and/or his affiliates acquiring events assets of the Issuer. There can be no guarantee that Mr. Emanuel or his affiliates will make any such proposal, and if any such proposal is made, Mr. Emanuel can provide no assurances that he or his affiliates will successfully consummate any proposed transaction.

To facilitate their consideration of such matters, Mr. Emanuel and/or his affiliates have recently, or intend to, retain consultants and advisors and enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties. Mr. Emanuel and/or his affiliates may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar obligations or agreements.
