Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D. | ||

| (a) | The information set forth on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5. | |
| (b) | 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. Mr. Whitesell's personal revocable trust, for which he is acting as sole trustee and is sole lifetime beneficiary, is the record holder of 72,797 shares of Class A Common Stock, 5,959,889 Profits Units and 2,968,279 Endeavor Operating Company Units.

In addition, by virtue of the agreements made pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons and the Silver Lake Equityholders may be deemed to constitute a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim any beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Silver Lake Equityholders and such shares are not the subject of this Schedule 13D.
The ownership information presented herein represents beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock as of March 21, 2025, based upon 325,544,007 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of January 31, 2025. | |
| (c) | Other than as described in this Amendment No. 10, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions with respect to the Class A Common Stock during the prior 60 days. | |
| (d) | None. | |
| (e) | Not applicable. | |
