The section of the prospectus filed on November 4, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Prospectus”), entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Agreements Relating to the Split-Off,” which describes the material terms of the Split-Off Agreements, is incorporated herein by reference.

2.375% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053

 

In connection with the Split-Off, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture, dated as of December 15, 2025, with Liberty Media and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to the Indenture, dated as of September 14, 2023 (as amended and supplemented prior thereto, the “Indenture”), between Liberty Media and the Trustee relating to the 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053 (the “Exchangeable Debentures”) by which the Company assumed from Liberty Media all obligations under the Indenture and the Exchangeable Debentures. Subject to certain terms and conditions, upon exchange of an Exchangeable Debenture, the Company shall deliver the cash value of the shares of common stock of Live Nation attributable to such Exchangeable Debenture. The number of shares of Live Nation common stock attributable to an Exchangeable Debenture represents an initial exchange price of approximately $104.91 per share. A total of approximately 11 million shares of Live Nation common stock are attributable to the Exchangeable Debentures. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. As of September 30, 2025, the adjusted principal amount of the Exchangeable Debentures was $1,150 million.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, as a result of the Split-Off, holders of the Exchangeable Debentures have the right for a certain period following the Split-Off to require the Company to repurchase the Exchangeable Debentures. The purchase price of the Exchangeable Debentures will equal 100% of the adjusted principal amount of the Exchangeable Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest to the purchase date, plus any final period distribution. In addition, in connection with the Split-Off, holders also have the right to exchange the Exchangeable Debentures for a certain period following the Split-Off. To the extent the Exchangeable Debentures remain outstanding following expiration of the holders’ repurchase right (and assuming no exchange right is exercised), the Exchangeable Debentures will remain outstanding as indebtedness of the Company.
