Significant events
- “Following a review of strategic alternatives, Wildcat EGH Holdco, LP, the subsidiary of Silver Lake Partners, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares it did not already own of the Company's ultimate parent company, Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (EGH), taking the company private in March 2025. As a result of the acquisition, EGH's shares were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, and the company now operates as a privately held entity. The portfolio of representation businesses owned by Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. will now be called WME Group.”
- “In July 2025, certain subsidiaries of EGH, including International Management Group (UK) Ltd ("IMG UK Ltd"), the Company's direct parent company, entered into a put option agreement, pursuant to which a purchase agreement for the sale of certain event assets of EGH, including Taste Festivals Limited ("the Company"), to certain affiliates of AE EventsCo Holdings LLC, was agreed to. The purchase agreement is expected to be signed in Q4 2025. Anticipated closing of the sale is in Q4 2025, pending certain regulatory approvals. Prior to the sale, Taste Festivals Limited assets subject to the acquisition currently held by IMG UK Ltd will be contributed to the Company in exchange for the issuance of share capital and certain contracts held and operated by IMG UK Ltd will be novated to the Company.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
