Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The table below sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock by:
each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class or series of our capital stock;
each of our directors and named executive officers; and
all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
The amounts and percentages of Class A common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of the regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days, provided that any person who acquires any such right with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, immediately upon such acquisition shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities which may be acquired through the exercise of such right. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities.
The beneficial ownership of our voting securities is based on 82,321,595 shares of our Class A common stock and 89,616,891 shares of our Class B common stock, each issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2024. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or that will become exercisable or will otherwise vest within 60 days of January 31, 2024 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each beneficial owner listed below is: c/o TKO Group Holdings, Inc., 200 Fifth Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10010.
