Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 13, 2024, January HoldCo entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (the Margin Loan Agreement), by and between the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent and Calculation Agent named therein, and arrangements incidental thereto.
Under the Margin Loan Agreement, January HoldCo may borrow up to $175.0 million, which was fully drawn on September 13, 2024. The facility will mature on September 13, 2029. As security for the Margin Loan Agreement, January HoldCo has granted a first-priority lien to the lenders, pro rata to the amount of their commitments, on 6.1 million TKO OpCo Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Issuer (collectively, the Pledged Securities).
If January HoldCo defaults on its obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement, then the lenders can declare all amounts outstanding under the Margin Loan Agreement, with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, and if January HoldCo is unable to pay such amounts, the lenders may foreclose on the Pledged Securities and any other collateral that then secures borrowings under the Margin Loan Agreement.
All voting rights with respect to the Pledged Securities will remain with January HoldCo at all times prior to the sale of any such Pledged Securities by a lender in a foreclosure upon an event of default under the Margin Loan Agreement.
The information set forth or incorporated in Item 5 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
