On June 10, 2025, at a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to redomesticate the Company (the “Redomestication”) from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Corporation”) to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Nevada Corporation”) by means of a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) and adopted the resolutions of the board of directors of the Company approving the Redomestication, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the Special Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 23, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”).

On June 10, 2025, the Company effected the Redomestication pursuant to the Plan of Conversion by filing (i) a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (ii) articles of conversion with the Nevada Secretary of State and (iii) articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State (the “Nevada Charter”). The Company also adopted new bylaws (the “Nevada Bylaws”) in connection with the Redomestication.

At 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 10, 2025 (the “Effective Time”):

The Redomestication did not result in any change in the business, jobs, management, properties, location of any of the Company’s offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs related to the Redomestication). The Redomestication did not adversely affect any of the Company’s material contracts with any third parties, and the Company’s rights and obligations under those material contractual arrangements continue to be the rights and obligations of the Company after the Redomestication.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Delaware Corporation (the “Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock”) automatically converted into one outstanding share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Nevada Corporation (the “Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock”), and each outstanding share of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Delaware Corporation (the “Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock”) automatically converted into one outstanding share of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Nevada Corporation (the “Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock”).

Stockholders are not required to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates. At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant, option, restricted stock unit, performance stock unit, equity or equity-based award or other right to acquire any, or any instrument to convert into or exchange for, or based on the value of, Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock or Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock, as applicable, automatically became a warrant, option, restricted stock unit, performance stock unit, equity or equity-based award or other right to acquire any, or any instrument to convert into or exchange for, or based on the value of, the same amount of Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock or Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock, as applicable, under the same terms and conditions. The Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock continues to be traded on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MSGS”.

As described in the Proxy Statement, certain rights of the Company’s stockholders were changed as a result of the Redomestication. A more detailed description of the Plan of Conversion, the Nevada Charter, the Nevada Bylaws and the effects of the Redomestication is set forth in the Proxy Statement under “Proposal—Approval of the Redomestication of the Company to the State of Nevada by Conversion,” which description is incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Plan of Conversion, the Nevada Charter and the Nevada Bylaws are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

To the extent required, the information set forth above under Item 3.03 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

The Company held the Special Meeting on June 10, 2025. In accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation as then in effect, the Company’s Class A stockholders were entitled to one vote per share and the Company’s Class B stockholders were entitled to ten votes per share. The stockholders considered the proposal to redomesticate the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion at the Special Meeting, which is described in more detail in the Proxy Statement. The final results for the votes regarding the proposal are set forth below.

The Company’s Class A stockholders and Class B stockholders, voting together as a single class, approved the proposal to redomesticate the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion. The votes regarding this proposal were as follows:
