Explanatory Note

This Amendment No.1 (this “Amendment”) further amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 23, 2021 (together with any amendments thereto filed with the SEC, this “Schedule 13D”). This Schedule 13D is being filed as a result of the expiration of the initial offer period of the Offer and the commencement of the subsequent offering period.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own a total of 183,439,521.5 ordinary shares of Wanda Sports Group Company Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (the “Issuer”) (the “Ordinary Shares”), as a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act), which constitute 87.7% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. Of these Ordinary Shares, 146,967,707 shares are class B ordinary shares of the Issuer, no par value (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), and 36,471,814.5 shares are class A ordinary shares of the Issuer, no par value (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and together with the Class B Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”).

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule 13D remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. This Amendment should be read together with the Schedule 13D.

The items of the Schedule 13D set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

Purchaser has accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) during the initial period of the Offer. Purchaser will finance the Offer with cash on hand.

As of December 21, 2020, Purchaser had cash of approximately $104 million. Assuming that all outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs are tendered into the Offer (following the expiration of the subsequent offering period), the aggregate purchase price payable by Purchaser upon the consummation of the Offer would be approximately $84.3 million (excluding related transaction fees, costs and expenses).”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs thereto:

“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 29, 2021. The Tender Agent has advised that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 36,471,813.5 Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) were validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 73% of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), excluding 8,215,616 ADSs held by Associates subject to the Standstill Agreement.

The foregoing include a total of 17,529,697 ADSs tendered, representing approximately 88% of the outstanding ADSs, excluding the ADSs held by the Associates. Purchaser has accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer.

On January 29, 2021, both the Deposit Agreement Termination and, following the Company’s filing of Form 25 with the SEC on January 19, 2021, the Delisting became effective. As a result of the completion of the Deposit Agreement Termination/Delisting, the ADSs are no longer tradeable and there is no longer any listing of any securities of the Company on any stock exchange in the United States or elsewhere.

In accordance with the right expressly reserved in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser has commenced a subsequent offering period as of 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on February 1, 2021, during which tenders of Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs will be accepted. The subsequent offering period will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 26, 2021, unless extended. Any Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs properly tendered during the subsequent offering period will be immediately accepted for payment, and the holders of such Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs will be promptly paid the same price per Class A Ordinary Share and ADS, as applicable, that was paid in the initial offer period of the Offer. The application of cancellation fees payable to the Depositary and/or stamp duty on transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares during the initial offer period will apply likewise to the subsequent offering period. Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. In addition, no Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs validly tendered during the initial offer period may be withdrawn during the subsequent offering period.”
