Certain Relationships and Potential Conflicts of Interest

Our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, James L. Dolan, also serves as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MSGE and MSGS and as Non-Executive Chairman of AMC Global Media. Furthermore, eight of our director nominees (including James L. Dolan) also serve as directors of MSGE, nine of our director nominees (including James L. Dolan) also serve as directors of MSGS, and six of our director nominees (including James L. Dolan) also serve as directors of AMC Global Media, Kristin A. Dolan serves as Chief Executive Officer and on the board of directors of AMC Global Media concurrently with her service on our Board. In addition, David Granville-Smith, the Company’s Executive Vice President, also serves as Executive Vice President of MSGS and AMC Global Media, Gregg G. Seibert, the Company’s Vice Chairman, also serves as Vice Chairman of MSGE, MSGS and AMC Global Media, Allen Lo, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, also serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of MSGE, and Mark C. Cresitello, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Secretary, also serves as Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Secretary of MSGS and MSGE. Therefore, these individuals may have or have had actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting the Company, on the one hand, and MSGE, MSGS or AMC Global Media, on the other hand. For example, there is the potential for a conflict of interest when we and MSGE, MSGS and/or AMC Global Media look at certain acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for more than one of the companies. Also, conflicts may arise if there are issues or disputes under the commercial arrangements that exist between MSGE, MSGS and/or AMC Global Media and us. In addition, certain of our officers and directors own MSGE, MSGS and/or AMC Global Media stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options and/or performance stock options. 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, MSGE, MSGS, or AMC Global Media. 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.

Our Articles of Incorporation acknowledge that the Company may have overlapping directors and officers with MSGS, MSGN and AMC Global Media and their respective subsidiaries and that the Company may engage in material business transactions with such entities. In our Articles of Incorporation, the Company has renounced its rights to certain business opportunities and provided 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 MSGS, MSGN or AMC Global Media or any of their respective subsidiaries instead of the Company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. Our Articles of Incorporation also expressly validate certain contracts, agreements, arrangements and transactions (and amendments, modifications or terminations thereof) between the Company and MSGS, MSGN and AMC Global Media 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. In connection with the Networks Merger, our Board adopted an Overlap policy to broaden the specified Company business opportunities to also cover business opportunities that had been associated with the MSGN business. In connection with the MSGE Distribution, we further updated the policy to extend similar provisions to overlapping directors and officers with MSGE and to update the specified Company business opportunities to account for the change in business following the MSGE Distribution.
