Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld
LLP announces an investigation into TKO Group Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE: TKO), the board of directors, and the controlling
stockholder for potential breaches of fiduciary duty.

Investigation Details:
TKO is controlled by Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endeavor”)
through its ownership of 53.6% of the total voting power of the
Company’s voting stock. Endeavor has also designated a majority of
directors to the board of directors of TKO. As a result of its
control, Endeavor can influence TKO to engage in conflicted
transactions and control the outcome of TKO’s corporate actions
that typically would require shareholder approval.
On October 24, 2024, TKO announced that it had entered into a
transaction agreement with Endeavor Operating Company, LLC, a
subsidiary of Endeavor, pursuant to which TKO agreed to acquire the
Professional Bull Riders, On Location and IMG businesses from
Endeavor for $3.25 billion in Company stock (the “Acquisition”). As
a result of the Acquisition, Endeavor will increase its ownership
stake in TKO from approximately 53% to 59%. The transaction is
expected to close in the first half of 2025. Minority shareholders
will have no say in the Acquisition, as Endeavor has approved the
Acquisition by written consent without a minority vote.
BFA believes that the Acquisition is a conflicted transaction
that may have resulted in the Company overpaying for Endeavor’s
businesses. Upon announcement of the Acquisition, TKO’s stock price
fell by more than 8% and likely would have fallen further had TKO
not simultaneously announced a $2 billion stock repurchase program.
The decline in TKO’s stock price strongly suggests that public
markets believe the Company may have overpaid for the Endeavor
assets as part of the Acquisition. Given Endeavor’s control over
TKO, BFA believes TKO minority stockholders may possess valid
claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the board of directors
of TKO and/or Endeavor.
