Therefore, these individuals may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting each company. For example, there is the potential for a conflict of interest when we, Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports consider certain acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for us and any of them. Also, conflicts may arise if there are issues or disputes under the commercial arrangements that exist between Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports and us. In addition, certain of our officers and directors own Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment and/or MSG Sports stock, RSUs, performance stock units and/or options to purchase Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment and/or MSG Sports stock. These ownership interests could create actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest when these individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for the Company and Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment or MSG Sports. See “Related Party Transaction Approval Policy” below for a discussion of certain procedures we instituted to help ameliorate any such potential conflicts that may arise.

The Board has adopted a policy that acknowledges that the Company may have overlapping directors and officers with MSG Sports, Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment and their subsidiaries and successors and that the Company may engage in material business transactions with such entities. In the policy, the Company renounced its rights to certain business opportunities and the policy provides that in certain circumstances our directors and officers will not have liability to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity to MSG Sports, Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment or any of their subsidiaries and successors instead of the Company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. The policy also expressly validates certain contracts, agreements, arrangements and transactions (and amendments, modifications or terminations thereof) between the Company and MSG Sports, Sphere Entertainment, MSG Entertainment and/or any of their respective subsidiaries and provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the actions of the overlapping directors and officers in connection therewith are not breaches of fiduciary duties owed to the Company or its stockholders.
