The Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) today announced that its board of directors has
unanimously approved a plan to explore a possible
spin-off
that would separate its sports businesses from its entertainment businesses, creating two distinct publicly traded companies. If MSG proceeds with the
spin-off
transaction, it would be structured as a
tax-free
spin-off
to all MSG shareholders and upon completion of the
contemplated separation, it is expected that record holders of MSG common stock would receive a
pro-rata
distribution of the common stock equivalent in aggregate to an approximately
two-thirds
economic interest in the newly created sports company. The remaining common stock, expected to be equivalent to an approximately
one-third
economic interest in the
sports company, would be retained by MSG (the entertainment company) and is expected to be available to raise capital and/or exchange for MSG common stock. There can be no assurance that the
spin-off
transaction will be completed. Completion of the
spin-off
will be subject to various conditions, as well as final MSG board approval.
