(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(together with its affiliates, “Silver Lake”) may be deemed to be acting as a group for purposes of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.  Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons and affiliates of Silver Lake are members of any such group. The beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons reported herein does not include any shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Silver Lake and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities beneficially owned by Silver Lake.  Certain affiliates of Silver Lake separately filed a Schedule 13D to report their beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The securities reported herein were acquired by Fifteenth LLC for aggregate consideration of approximately $44,188,137. These purchases were funded by cash on hand.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On April 2, 2024, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, Wildcat EGH Holdco, L.P., an affiliate of Silver Lake (“Holdco Parent”), Wildcat OpCo Holdco, L.P., an affiliate of Silver Lake (“OpCo Parent” and, together with Holdco Parent, the “Parent Entities” and each, a “Parent Entity”), Endeavor Operating Company, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Issuer (“OpCo”) and various other parties named therein, including various newly formed merger subsidiaries used to effect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, after a series of steps, a merger subsidiary of Holdco Parent will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger, collectively owned, directly or indirectly, by Holdco Parent and certain other holders (the “Company Merger”, and collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).

As a result of the Company Merger, each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time” (subject to certain exceptions, including (i) (a) shares of Common Stock owned by the Issuer or its subsidiaries, (b) shares of Common Stock owned by the Parent Entities or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, or, any affiliate of the Parent Entities designated in writing by the Parent Entities to the Issuer at least two business days prior to the Company Merger Effective Time and (c) shares of Issuer Class X common stock, par value $0.00001 per share  and Class Y common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (such shares in this clause (c), collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, (ii) the shares that have been agreed to rollover in the transaction in accordance with the Merger Agreement and (iii) shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of the Issuer who have validly demanded and not withdrawn appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware will, at the Company Merger Effective Time, automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $27.50 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.

If the Transactions are consummated, the Issuer intends to delist the Class A Common Stock from the New York Stock Exchange and deregister such shares under the Exchange Act.

Simultaneously with the entering into of the Merger Agreement, on April 2, 2024, Thirty Fifth Investment Company L.L.C. (“Thirty Fifth LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mamoura, entered into a preferred equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) with Holdco Parent and other parties thereto.  Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter, Thirty Fifth LLC has committed to contribute to Holdco Parent at the closing of the Company Merger $200,000,000 in exchange for certain preferred equity interests of the Issuer (as such amount may be increased as described below, the “Equity Commitment”), subject to the completion of the Company Merger and the satisfaction of customary conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter. Prior to the closing of the Company Merger, Thirty Fifth LLC’s Equity Commitment may be increased at its option upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.  In addition, subject to satisfying certain conditions, Thirty Fifth LLC may sell or otherwise assign all or any portion of its Equity Commitment or the preferred equity acquired to certain of its affiliates or related persons.

Additionally, in connection with the entering into of the Merger Agreement, Thirty Fifth LLC also agreed to contribute an additional $250,000,000 to a fund affiliated with Silver Lake in exchange for limited partnership interests in such fund (as such amount may be increased or decreased as described below, the “LP Investment”), with such funds being used to provide additional financing in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  Prior to the closing of the Company Merger, the size of the LP Investment shall be reduced under certain circumstances (but not below $100,000,000) and Thirty Fifth LLC has the right to request an increase in the size of the LP Investment, which may be accepted or rejected by Silver Lake. In addition, subject to satisfying certain conditions, Thirty Fifth LLC may sell or otherwise assign all or any portion of its LP Investment or the limited partnership interests acquired to certain of its affiliates or related persons.
