Announces distribution of MSGS Spinco common stock to shareholders at a two-to-one ratio
MSGSMSG Knickerbockers Corp.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. filed an amendment to its current report regarding the upcoming distribution of common stock in MSGS Spinco, Inc., to existing shareholders on September 30, 2026. The distribution will occur at a two-to-one ratio, meaning each shareholder will receive one share of MSGS Spinco for every two shares of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. held. The filing details the adjustment of outstanding equity awards, including options and restricted stock units, which will be split between the two entities based on weighted average prices following the distribution. It also outlines overlapping directorships and officer roles among the parent company and related entities like MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, noting potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, the filing addresses tax implications, estimating a $20.0 million tax liability due to the accelerated recognition of deferred revenue from New York Rangers ticket sales. Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. operates sports franchises and entertainment venues in New York.
