As of June 30, 2026, we managed our business through one reportable segment.

Our Strengths
•Strong position in live entertainment through:
▪A portfolio of world-renowned venues; and
▪Marquee live entertainment brands and content;
•Significant presence in New York, the leading live entertainment market;
•Deep industry relationships that drive top-tier performers and a wide variety of events to the Company’s venues;

•Reputation for world-class customer experience driven by decades of expertise in sales and marketing, and venue operations;
•Expertise in utilizing data to drive decisions to maximize revenue and the experience of our guests;
•Long-term agreements to host home games at The Garden for two of the most recognized franchises in professional sports — the New York Knicks (the “Knicks”) of the National Basketball Association (the “NBA”) and the New York Rangers (the “Rangers”) of the National Hockey League (the “NHL”); and
•A strong and seasoned management team.

Our Strategy
Our strategy is to create world-class live experiences for our guests and partners by leveraging (i) our Company’s unique portfolio of live entertainment assets and brands; (ii) our expertise in venue management, bookings and productions, sponsorship, ticketing, marketing and premium hospitality and content development; (iii) our deep relationships across the entertainment and sports industries; and (iv) our strong connection with diverse and passionate audiences. We believe this strategy enables us to generate long-term value creation for our stockholders.
Key components of our strategy include:
•Enhancing the live entertainment experience for our customers. We use the strength of our venues, expertise and relationships to attract top talent and deliver unforgettable experiences for our guests. We have a track record of designing world-class facilities with top-quality amenities, including our renovations of The Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and the Beacon Theatre. We also continue to explore new ways to use technology to improve the guest experience. From the way our customers buy food, beverage and merchandise, to how we market and process their tickets, to utilizing advanced audio technology in our venues, we strive to give our customers the best experience in the industry. We believe this approach enables us to improve per-event revenue and profitability at our venues and creates a seamless and memorable guest experience that drives repeat visitation to our venues.
•Increasing the utilization of our venues. Part of what drives our success is our “artist first” approach. Through dedicated areas for artists and top-tier service, our talent-friendly environment not only attracts artists to our venues but also brings them back for repeat performances. Another part of this approach is how we use our diverse collection of venues. With seating capacities and configurations that range from 2,800 to 21,000, our venue portfolio enables us to shepherd artists through the growth in their careers, helping us develop deeper industry relationships. We continue to use this “artist first” approach to attract the industry’s top talent with the goal of increasing utilization across all our venues through more multi-night concerts, as well as more marquee special events. We also continue to explore opportunities for new events that would be unique to our venues, including high-profile residencies that would help build our base of events.
•Delivering unrivaled marketing exposure for our partners. Our assets are highly sought after by companies that value the popularity of our venues and entertainment brands. Our value proposition is further strengthened by our sponsorship sales representation agreements with Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, as applicable, “MSG Sports”) which enables us to deliver broad-based marketing platforms that combine our assets with MSG Sports’ professional sports brands. We plan to continue utilizing this integrated approach to both renew and extend our relationships with existing partners, as well as to form partnerships with leading companies in emerging industries and in industry verticals where we are currently under-penetrated. We also offer our partners expanded reach through outdoor signage around the Madison Square Garden Complex (as defined below) and Pennsylvania Station (“Penn Station”), a major commuter hub in Manhattan. We plan to selectively explore additional opportunities to grow our external signage portfolio which could increase our existing marketing partnerships packages as well as attract new partners.
•Offering best-in-class premium hospitality products. The Company offers a wide array of premium corporate hospitality offerings that cater to a variety of audiences. For example, The Garden has a range of suite and club products, including 23 Event Level spaces, consisting of 22 suites and an event level club; 58 Lexus Level suites; 18 Infosys Level suites; the Madison Club; and the HUB Loft. These suites and clubs — which provide exclusive private spaces, first-class amenities and some of the best seats in The Garden — are primarily licensed to corporate customers with the majority being multi-year agreements with annual escalators. Through our long-term arena license agreements (the “Arena License Agreements”) with MSG Sports, we also offer suite holders access to MSG Sports’ premium live sporting events. We believe the strength of our product and content offerings, along with the continued importance of corporate hospitality to our partners, position us well with regard to ongoing renewal and new sales activity. We also plan to explore enhancing and expanding our premium hospitality offerings, which would create new monetization opportunities for the Company.
•Understanding our customers. We continue to forge direct relationships with customers and fans, with a focus on understanding how consumers interact with every aspect of the Company. A key component of this strategy is our large and growing proprietary database of millions of customers. The data we collect from our venues and digital products provides the Company with significant insights into our customers, including who is utilizing our digital assets and attending events at our venues. In addition to providing value for our marketing partners, these insights are leveraged to help drive revenue and engagement across our assets, providing us with an opportunity to tailor offerings and cross-promote our products and services, introducing customers to our wide range of assets and brands. We also utilize data to proactively identify potential bookings for our venues.

Our Business
Our Company delivers unforgettable live experiences, all in extraordinary settings, with a substantial presence in the New York market. This creates significant demand for our brands from a wide range of artists, sporting events, premier companies and the public. With a foundation of iconic venues, our Company has a proven ability to leverage the strength of our industry relationships, marketing assets, customer database and live event expertise to create compelling performance, promotion and distribution opportunities for artists, events and productions.
Specifically, the Company produces, presents and hosts a variety of live entertainment events, such as concerts, sporting events, family shows, performing arts events, special events and the wholly-owned Christmas Spectacular production which features the world-famous Radio City Rockettes (the “Rockettes”). In addition, the Company hosts two of the most recognized franchises in professional sports — the NBA’s Knicks and the NHL’s Rangers. All of these live events are held at the Company’s venues: The Garden, the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, and The Chicago Theatre. With seating capacities and configurations that range from 2,800 to 21,000, our diverse collection of venues enables us to showcase a multitude of acts and events that cover a wide spectrum of genres to diverse audiences. In Fiscal Year 2026, we hosted approximately 6.4 million guests at nearly 960 events.
Our Bookings Business
Live Entertainment
Our Company is an established industry leader that books a wide variety of live entertainment events in our venues, which perennially include some of the biggest names in music and entertainment. Over the last several years, our venues have been key destinations for artists such as Eagles, The Killers, Drake, Dua Lipa, David Gilmour, Madonna, Harry Styles, Tate McRae, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, Sabrina Carpenter, Andrea Bocelli, Paul Simon, Hugh Jackman, John Mayer, P!nk, Chris Stapleton, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Sebastian Maniscalco, Kevin Hart, Trevor Noah and Dave Chappelle.
In addition, we have successfully developed new ways to increase the utilization of our venues, while creating unique experiences for artists and fans with our various residencies — including The Garden’s first music franchise: Billy Joel at The Garden, which concluded in July 2024 with Billy Joel’s 150th lifetime performance at The World’s Most Famous Arena. The Company’s other residencies include Jerry Seinfeld at the Beacon Theatre, who holds the record for the most performances by any comedian at the historic venue; Seth Meyers & John Oliver at the Beacon Theatre; and the planned 30-night residency from Harry Styles beginning in August 2026 at The Garden. The Company has also in recent years successfully created other unique bookings and residencies across its portfolio of venues, including the multi-year, dual-city residency of Tedeschi Trucks Band at both the Beacon Theatre and The Chicago Theatre, as well as Dave Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall, Hugh Jackman at Radio City Music Hall, Phish’s 13-night “Baker’s Dozen” run at The Garden, Ali Wong at the Beacon Theatre, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler at the Beacon Theatre, and Trey Anastasio’s eight-week virtual residency at the Beacon Theatre — a first for the Company.
Our venues also attract family shows and theatrical productions, which have included: ANNIE, ‘Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil and Paw Patrol Live!, all of which have played at both The Chicago Theatre and the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden. Other significant events that have taken place at our venues include the GRAMMY Awards, Tony Awards, Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert, Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, MTV Video Music Awards, New York Comic Con, Tribeca Festival events and the final season premiere of HBO’s Game of Thrones. We have also hosted appearances by luminaries such as His Holiness Pope Francis, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, along with graduations, television upfronts, product launches and film premieres.
Although we primarily license our venues to third-party promoters for a fee, we also promote or co-promote shows. If we serve as promoters or co-promoters of a show, we have economic risk relating to the event.
Sports
MSG Sports’ professional sports teams, the Knicks and the Rangers, are two of the most recognized franchises in sports, with passionate, multigenerational fan bases. The Company has long-term Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden, allowing us to continue hosting their fans at The World’s Most Famous Arena.
Our Company also promotes, produces and/or presents a broad array of other live sporting events, including professional boxing, mixed martial arts, college basketball, college hockey, professional bull riding, tennis, esports, professional wrestling, and professional darts. Many of these events are among the most popular in our history and are perennial highlights on our annual sports calendar, as well as some of The Garden’s longest-running associations.
Professional boxing has a storied history at Madison Square Garden, dating back to 1882. Many of boxing’s titans have stepped into the Garden ring, including: Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Emile Griffith, George Foreman, Roberto

Duran, Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Lennox Lewis, Roy Jones, Jr., Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Miguel Cotto and Wladimir Klitschko. The Garden famously hosted Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier’s 1971 “Fight of the Century,” considered among the greatest sporting events in modern history.
In 2022, boxing history was made once again when Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano became the first women to headline a boxing event at The Garden. The two boxing icons returned in July 2025 for another event when their highly anticipated trilogy bout headlined the first-ever all-female boxing card at The Garden.
Since the return of professional mixed martial arts to New York State in 2016, Madison Square Garden has become a premier destination for major Ultimate Fighting Championship (“UFC”) events which have been headlined by the sport’s biggest stars, including Conor McGregor, George St-Pierre, Daniel Cormier, Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic and Islam Makhachev, reinforcing The Garden’s reputation as the stage for combat sports.
College sports have been a mainstay at The Garden for decades, with college basketball being featured at The World’s Most Famous Arena for nearly 90 years. For the 44th consecutive year, Madison Square Garden hosted the annual Big East Tournament in March 2026, which saw St. John’s University successfully defend its Big East Championship title. MSG Entertainment and the Big East Conference have been partners since the Tournament was first played at the iconic venue in 1983, and have extended the partnership through 2032, ensuring the Tournament continues to be college basketball’s longest-running post-season championship held at the same location. In addition, St. John’s University has called The Garden its “home away from home,” at the venue for decades. The Garden also continues to build its college hockey tradition with popular biennial events Red Hot Hockey featuring Cornell University vs. Boston University, and Frozen Apple pitting Cornell against top programs such as Michigan, Penn State, New Hampshire, Harvard, UConn and Quinnipiac.
Other world-class sporting events have included the NBA All-Star Game in 2015, and the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball East Regional Finals, which The Garden hosted in 2014, 2017 and 2023, with its scheduled return in 2027. And since 2022, the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden has hosted the world’s best professional darts players at the annual U.S. Darts Masters.
Our Productions
One of the Company’s core properties, the Christmas Spectacular, runs exclusively at Radio City Music Hall and features the world-famous Rockettes. Since its opening in 1933, this production has become a tradition for many, creating a holiday touchstone that generations of fans want to return to, time and again. The show’s enduring popularity is driven by the incomparable Rockettes, admired for their iconic style of dance, talent and athleticism, as well as their unity both on and off the stage. The Rockettes celebrated their 100th anniversary in calendar year 2025, a major milestone for the longest-running precision dance company in America.
In Fiscal Year 2026, the production returned for its 92nd year — surpassing 1.2 million visitors, the highest attendance in 25 years. In June 2026, the Christmas Spectacular ranked number one on Pollstar’s mid-year Worldwide Performing Arts & Family Shows chart. The Rockettes perform in ten numbers throughout the 90-minute production, which blends classic performances, with innovative immersive technology, including via expansive digital projections, holographic technology and fairy drones. The 2025 production also debuted Radio City Music Hall’s new Sphere Immersive Sound technology. We acquired the rights to the Christmas Spectacular in 1997, and those rights are separate from, and do not depend on the continuation of, our lease of Radio City Music Hall. We also hold rights to the Rockettes brand in the same manner. We lease Radio City Music Hall pursuant to a long-term lease agreement. See “Our Venues — Radio City Music Hall.”
The Company believes it has a significant and unique asset in the Rockettes and continues to strengthen and broaden the brand by targeting the most prominent and effective vehicles that elevate the dance company’s visibility and underscore the Rockettes’ reputation as beloved American cultural icons. We continue to pursue opportunities to generate greater brand awareness, including through television, social media, public appearances and dance education offerings. The Rockettes have appeared or performed at high-profile events and award shows, including Presidential Inaugurations, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks event, “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” Tree Lighting, New Year’s Eve Times Square Ball Drop, Tony Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, World Pride events, and television shows and holiday specials (Saturday Night Live, America’s Got Talent, Project Runway, The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, Jimmy Fallon’s Holiday Seasoning Spectacular, TODAY Show, CBS News Sunday Morning, Live with Kelly and Mark and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon). In November 2022, the Rockettes were featured in Hallmark Channel’s movie, “A Holiday Spectacular,” which was shot in part on location at Radio City Music Hall and debuted as part of the network’s Countdown to Christmas programming.

We are also committed to ensuring that the best dancers from all backgrounds can become Rockettes, and are actively strengthening our relationships within the dance community, expanding where we hold scouting sessions, and opening education and training opportunities to more dancers through our dancer development program – including Rockettes Conservatory and Rockettes Preparatory. Held at Radio City Music Hall in the summertime, Rockettes Conservatory and Rockettes Preparatory are no-fee, invite-only intensive training programs that provide invited dancers with the opportunity to learn the Rockettes Precision Dance Technique from the Rockettes themselves, with Conservatory hosting more advanced, pre-professional dancers and Preparatory training dancers who are new to the precision style. The dancer development program was designed as an investment in promising dancers’ futures, and in addition to becoming a multi-step talent pipeline for future Rockettes, it is intended to ensure the dance company continues to evolve by attracting the best dancers. The dance company continues to foster relationships with a variety of dance organizations, including The Ailey School, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Harlem School of the Arts, International Association of Blacks in Dance and The Chloé and Maud Foundation, to provide program support, introduce staff and students to the unique world of precision dance and actively engage with dancers for our dancer development program.
Our Venues
The Company operates a mix of iconic venues that continue to build on their historic prominence as destinations for unforgettable experiences and events.
We own or operate under long-term leases a total of five venues in New York City and Chicago. These venues are: The Garden, the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and the Beacon Theatre in New York City; and The Chicago Theatre.
The Garden
The Garden has been a celebrated center of New York life since it first opened its doors in 1879. Over its nearly 150-year history, there have been four Garden buildings, each known for showcasing the best of the era’s live sports and entertainment offerings. We believe that The Garden has come to epitomize the power and passion of live sports and entertainment to people around the world, with an appearance at The Garden often representing a pinnacle of an athlete’s or performer’s career. Known as The World’s Most Famous Arena, The Garden has been the site of some of the most memorable events in sports and entertainment, and together with the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, has hosted hundreds of events and millions of visitors each year. Music industry subscribers to the trade magazine Pollstar have voted The Garden “Arena of the Year” 23 times since the inception of the awards in 1989. The Garden also regularly ranks among the top three highest-grossing entertainment venues of its size in the world based on Billboard magazine’s year-end venue rankings, including in the calendar year 2025 rankings.
Over The Garden’s history, it has been the setting for countless “big events,” inspired performances and one-of-a-kind moments that have helped define sports, entertainment and culture. Highlights include “The Fight of the Century” between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in 1971; the Knicks’ run to NBA Championships in 1970, 1973 and 2026; the Rangers’ 1994 Stanley Cup Championship; three Democratic National Conventions and one Republican National Convention; Marilyn Monroe’s famous birthday serenade to President John F. Kennedy; Frank Sinatra’s “Main Event” concert in 1974; the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts; the 60th Annual Grammy Awards; and Billy Joel’s record-breaking 150 lifetime performances at The Garden. In September 2015, His Holiness Pope Francis celebrated Mass at The Garden as part of his successful U.S. visit, which marked the first time a current pope has visited The Garden since Pope John Paul II in 1979. The Garden has also hosted four prominent benefit concerts, which galvanized the public to respond to national and global crises, including the first of its kind, “The Concert for Bangladesh” in 1971, as well as “The Concert for New York City,” following the events of 9/11; “From the Big Apple to the Big Easy,” held after Hurricane Katrina in 2005; and “12-12-12, The Concert for Sandy Relief” in 2012. In March 2026, The Garden hosted the first annual “Thank You, NYPD” event, a private concert exclusively for NYPD officers and employees, and their families, to celebrate the department’s dedication to keeping New York City safe. In February 2020, To Kill a Mockingbird became the first-ever Broadway play to perform at The Garden with an entirely free performance for 18,000 New York City public school students.
The current Madison Square Garden complex, located between 31st and 33rd Streets and Seventh and Eighth Avenues on Manhattan’s West Side (the “Madison Square Garden Complex”), opened on February 11, 1968 with a salute to the United Service Organizations hosted by Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. From a structural standpoint, the construction of the current Garden was considered an engineering wonder for its time, including its famous circular shape and unique, cable supported ceiling, which contributes to its intimate feel. It was the first large structure built over an active railroad track. The builder, R.E. McKee, had a national reputation and was later recognized as a “Master Builder” by the construction industry. Architect Charles Luckman had one of the largest firms in the country and designed such buildings as the Prudential Tower in Boston, NASA’s flight center in Houston and the Forum in Inglewood, CA.

Following a three-year, top-to-bottom renovation, in October 2013, The Garden was fully transformed, featuring improved sightlines, additional entertainment and dining options, new concourses, upgraded hospitality areas, new technology, unique historic exhibits and a completely transformed interior, where the intimacy of the arena bowl and The Garden’s world-famous ceiling were maintained. Focused on the total fan experience, the renovation was designed to benefit everyone in attendance, whether first-time visitors, season ticket subscribers, athletes, artists, suite holders or marketing partners. The Garden’s renovation ensured that attending an event at The World’s Most Famous Arena remained unlike anywhere else.
We own the Madison Square Garden Complex, the platform on which it is built and development rights (including air rights) above our property. Madison Square Garden sits atop Penn Station, a major commuter hub in Manhattan, which is owned by the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (“Amtrak”). While the development rights we own would permit us to expand in the future, any such use of development rights would require various approvals from the City of New York. The Garden seats up to approximately 21,000 spectators for entertainment and sporting events and, along with the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, contains approximately 1,100,000 square feet of floor space over 11 levels.
Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden
The Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, which has approximately 5,600 seats, opened as part of the fourth Madison Square Garden Complex in 1968. Since then it has hosted a mix of events that span entertainment, sports and culture, including some of the biggest names in live entertainment: The Who, Diana Ross, Elton John, James Taylor, Mary J. Blige, Pentatonix, John Legend, Karol G, Ellie Goulding, Doechii, Katseye, Chris Rock, Neil Young, Bill Maher, J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Aziz Ansari, Alejandro Sanz, Bert Kreischer and Van Morrison. The Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden has also been the site for several boxing events including the inaugural World Championships of the Professional Fighters League, as well as the NBA and NFL Drafts, and the U.S. Darts Masters. In addition, it has hosted various product launches, upfronts, award shows, and other special events such as Wheel of Fortune and audition shows for America’s Got Talent, as well as a variety of theatrical productions and family shows, including ANNIE, ’Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil, A Christmas Story, Elf The Musical, Paw Patrol Live! and Sesame Street Live!. In February 2026, the Company announced an expanded partnership with Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, that included naming rights to the venue. According to Billboard’s calendar year 2025 year-end venue rankings, the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden was ranked in the top 10 highest grossing venues of its size in the U.S.
In June 2026, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Penn Transformation Partners, a consortium comprised of Halmar Infrastructure Development, Inc. and Skanska Infrastructure Development, Inc. (collectively, the “Master Developer”), contemplating the transfer of the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden to the Master Developer in connection with the redevelopment of Penn Station, subject to further negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, see “
