As of January 31, 2025, there were 6,055 holders of record of our outstanding Class A common stock and two holders of our outstanding Class B common stock.

On October 24, 2024, the Company announced that the Board had authorized the approval of a quarterly cash dividend pursuant to which holders of our Class A common stock will receive their pro rata share of approximately $75 million in quarterly distributions to be made by TKO OpCo.
In February 2025, we announced that our inaugural quarterly cash dividend will be paid on March 31, 2025. Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to our determination and discretion based on our consideration of various factors, such as our results of operations, financial condition, market conditions, earnings, cash flow requirements, restrictions in our debt agreements and legal requirements and other factors that we deem relevant. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Credit Facilities” for more information on the restrictions the Credit Facilities impose on our ability to declare and pay cash dividends.
Our ability to pay distributions and the amount of any dividends ultimately paid in respect of our common stock is, in each case, subject to us receiving funds, directly or indirectly, from our operating subsidiaries, including the operating subsidiaries of TKO OpCo.
Furthermore, the ability of the operating subsidiaries of TKO OpCo to make distributions to us depends on the satisfaction of applicable state law and is subject to any covenants and restrictions in existing agreements with respect to such distributions, and the ability of TKO OpCo to receive distributions from its own subsidiaries will continue to depend on applicable state law with respect to such distributions. There can be no guarantee that our stockholders will receive or be entitled to dividends.
