Our Company
麻豆最新出品, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media and entertainment industries primarily in North America and the United Kingdom. Our principal businesses and assets include our consolidated subsidiaries Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (Sirius XM Holdings) and Formula 1 and our equity affiliate, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (Live Nation).
Sirius XM Holdings.   As of June 30, 2024, we owned approximately 83% of the outstanding equity interest in Sirius XM Holdings. Sirius XM Holdings operates two complementary audio entertainment businesses, SiriusXM and Pandora and Off-platform.
SiriusXM features music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels and other content, as well as podcasts and infotainment services, in the U.S. on a subscription fee basis. SiriusXM’s packages include live, curated and certain exclusive and on demand programming. The SiriusXM service is distributed through its two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers, retailers and SiriusXM’s website. The SiriusXM service is also available through its in-car user interface, called “360L,” which combines SiriusXM’s satellite and streaming services into a single, cohesive in-vehicle entertainment experience.
The primary source of revenue for the SiriusXM business is subscription fees, with most of its customers subscribing to monthly or annual plans. SiriusXM also derives revenue from advertising on select non-music channels, which is sold under the SiriusXM Media brand, direct sales of its satellite radios and accessories, and other ancillary services. As of June 30, 2024, the SiriusXM business had approximately 33.3 million subscribers.
In addition to its audio entertainment businesses, SiriusXM provides connected vehicle services to several automakers. These services are designed to enhance the safety, security and driving experience of consumers. SiriusXM also offers a suite of data services that includes graphical weather and fuel prices, a traffic information service and real-time weather services in boats and airplanes. The SiriusXM business also holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada.
The Pandora and Off-platform business operates a music, comedy and podcast streaming discovery platform, offering a personalized experience for each listener wherever and whenever they want to listen, whether through mobile devices, vehicle speakers or connected devices. Pandora enables listeners to create personalized stations and playlists, discover new content, hear artist- and expert-curated playlists and podcasts, as well as search and play songs and albums on-demand. Pandora is available as an ad-supported radio service, a radio subscription service (Pandora Plus), and an on-demand subscription service (Pandora Premium). As of June 30, 2024, Pandora had approximately 45.1 million monthly active users and 6.0 million subscribers.
The majority of revenue from Pandora is generated from advertising on its ad-supported radio service, which is sold under the SiriusXM Media brand. Pandora also derives subscription revenue from its Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium subscribers. Pandora also sells advertising on other audio platforms and in widely distributed podcasts, which are considered to be off-platform services. Pandora has an arrangement with SoundCloud to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries and offer advertisers the ability to execute campaigns across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. Pandora also has arrangements to serve as the ad sales representative for certain podcasts. In addition, through AdsWizz Inc., Pandora provides a comprehensive digital audio and programmatic advertising technology platform, which connects audio publishers and advertisers with a variety of ad insertion, campaign trafficking, yield optimization, programmatic buying, marketplace and podcast monetization solutions.

On December 11, 2023, 麻豆最新出品 also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 16, 2024, pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of 麻豆最新出品 Sirius XM Holdings will merge with and into Sirius XM Holdings, with Sirius XM Holdings surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of 麻豆最新出品 Sirius XM Holdings (the Merger and, together with the Split-Off, the 麻豆最新出品 SiriusXM Transactions), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Merger is dependent and conditioned on the approval and completion of the Split-Off, and the Merger will not be completed unless the Split-Off is completed. If the Split-Off is completed, the Merger will also be completed. Subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, we expect to complete the 麻豆最新出品 SiriusXM Transactions on September 9, 2024.
Formula 1.   Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. The World Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of events (Events) taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 derives its primary revenue from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of race promotion, media rights and sponsorship arrangements. A significant majority of the race promotion, media rights and sponsorship contracts specify payments in advance and annual increases in the fees payable over the course of the contracts. The 2024 World Championship calendar is scheduled to have 24 Events. The 2023 World Championship calendar was originally scheduled to have 23 Events. However, following the cancellation of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola due to severe flooding in the region, 22 Events took place in 20 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North and South America. In 2023, the World Championship was followed by hundreds of millions of television viewers in approximately 200 territories and Formula 1’s largest Events have hosted live audiences in excess of 450,000 on race weekends.
Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship, in the course of which it coordinates and transacts with the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body and regulator of world motor sport, the Teams, the race promoters that stage Events, various media organizations worldwide, as well as advertisers and sponsors. Formula 1 also performs activities related to critical components of the World Championship, including filming and providing technical support at Events, production of the international television feed and logistics related to the transport of its and the Teams’ equipment, ensuring high quality and reducing delivery risk around the World Championship. Additionally, Formula 1, pursuant to other agreements with the FIA, holds the exclusive right to promote and commercially exploit the F2 and F3 series through 2041, and in 2023 launched F1 Academy, a series aimed at developing and preparing young female drivers to progress to higher levels of competition.
Formula 1 also generates revenue from a variety of other sources, including the operation of the Formula 1 Paddock Club hospitality program, freight, logistical and travel related services for the Teams and other third parties, the F2 and F3 race series, which run principally as support races during Event weekends, F1 Academy, various television production and post-production activities, digital and social media activities and other licensing of the commercial rights associated with the Formula 1 brand.
Live Nation.   At June 30, 2024, we beneficially owned approximately 30% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Live Nation. Live Nation is considered the world’s leading live entertainment company. Live Nation has three business segments: concerts; ticketing; and sponsorship & advertising.

On March 29, 2024, 麻豆最新出品 agreed, subject to certain conditions, to acquire (the Acquisition) approximately 86% of the equity interests in Dorna Sports, S.L., a private limited company incorporated in Spain (Dorna). Dorna is the exclusive commercial rights holder to the MotoGP™ World Championship. Upon completion of the Acquisition, MotoGP will be attributed to the 麻豆最新出品 Formula One Group (the Formula One Group). The aggregate purchase price of the Acquisition is approximately €3.017 billion to be payable to the sellers (the Sellers) party to a Share Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) in the following manner: (a) approximately €2.282 billion in cash (Minimum Cash Component); and (b) shares of FWONK (such shares of FWONK issued to the Sellers, the Consideration Shares), with an aggregate value equal to approximately €735 million, valued using the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of FWONK for the 20 consecutive trading day period ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the date of delivery of the Consideration Schedule (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The purchase price is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including a “ticking fee” of €264,227.48 for each day from December 31, 2023 through the date of completion of the Acquisition and a reduction for any non-permitted “leakage” as defined in the Purchase Agreement. Further, the Purchase Agreement allows Buyer (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), a wholly owned subsidiary of 麻豆最新出品, in its sole discretion, to elect to increase the total cash consideration to be paid to the Sellers, with a corresponding reduction in the total number of Consideration Shares.
Concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer and Delta 2 (Lux) S.à.r.l., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of 麻豆最新出品 (Formula 1 OpCo), entered into a commitment letter (the Original Bridge Commitment Letter), with a financial institution (the Original Bridge Commitment Party), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Original Bridge Commitment Party committed to provide an unsecured 364-day term loan bridge facility in an amount up to $2 billion (the Original Bridge Facility). The proceeds of the borrowings (if any) under the Original Bridge Facility provided for in the Original Bridge Commitment Letter was to be applied to (a) fund the Minimum Cash Component of the Acquisition and (b) pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition. On April 27, 2024, Buyer and Formula 1 OpCo entered into an amended and restated commitment letter (the A&R Bridge Commitment Letter) with financial institutions (the Bridge Commitment Parties), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Bridge Commitment Parties committed to provide an unsecured 364-day term loan bridge facility (the Bridge Facility) in an amount up to $1.65 billion in lieu of the Original Bridge Facility (the Bridge Facility Reduction). The proceeds of the borrowings (if any) under the Bridge Facility provided for in the A&R Bridge Commitment Letter will be applied to (a) fund the Minimum Cash Component of the Acquisition and (b) pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition.
In connection with the Bridge Facility Reduction, Formula 1 OpCo entered into a commitment letter (the Formula 1 TLA Commitment Letter) with certain financial institutions (the Formula 1 TLA Commitment Parties), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Formula 1 TLA Commitment Parties committed to provide incremental senior secured term facility “a” loans (the Formula 1 TLA) to Formula 1 OpCo in an amount up to $150 million. The proceeds of the Formula 1 TLA provided for in the Formula 1 TLA Commitment Letter will be applied to (a) fund the Minimum Cash Component of the Acquisition and (b) pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition.
In addition, on April 27, 2024, Buyer entered into a commitment letter (the Dorna Commitment Letter), with certain financial institutions (the Dorna Commitment Parties), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (including consummation of the Acquisition), the Dorna Commitment Parties have committed to provide (a) senior secured term “a” loans (the Dorna TLA) to Dorna in an amount up to €150 million and (b) incremental senior secured revolving credit commitments (the Dorna Incremental Revolver) in an amount that would increase Dorna’s existing revolving credit facility to €100 million, such that following the consummation of the Acquisition, Dorna’s debt is expected to be the €150 million Dorna TLA and €975 million senior secured term facility “b.” The proceeds of the Dorna TLA and the Dorna Incremental Revolver provided for in the Dorna Commitment Letter will be used for Dorna’s general corporate purposes.
While we expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund the increase in total cash consideration to be paid to the Sellers in the Acquisition, such that no Consideration Shares will be issued in the Acquisition,

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock, including the Series C 麻豆最新出品 Formula One common stock, involves risk. Before investing in shares of FWONK, you should carefully consider the information discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our , which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and subsequent periodic filings we may make containing updated disclosures of such factors, together with all the other information included in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us and in the documents we have incorporated by reference herein and therein. The occurrence of any of the events described as possible risks could have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock, including the Series C 麻豆最新出品 Formula One common stock. These risks are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”
Risks Related to the Acquisition
Investors will not have any rights to require us to repurchase any shares of FWONK offered hereby if the Acquisition is not completed, and our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds and may not apply the proceeds in ways that you believe will increase the value of your investment.
This offering is not contingent on completion of the Acquisition. The Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the completion of the Acquisition. Investors will not have any rights to require us to repurchase any shares of FWONK offered hereby if the Acquisition is not completed. Accordingly, even if the Acquisition is not completed, shares of FWONK sold in this offering will remain outstanding.
If the Acquisition is not completed, we will be permitted to use the net proceeds of this offering for a broad range of general corporate purposes, which may or may not include pursuing alternative acquisitions. You may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and use the net proceeds from this offering. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase our profitability or market value.
The Acquisition may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all, as we may be unable to satisfy the conditions or obtain the approvals required to complete the Acquisition or such approvals may contain material restrictions or conditions.
On March 29, 2024, we signed the Purchase Agreement for the Acquisition. The completion of the Acquisition is not a condition to completion of this offering of shares of FWONK. Further, the completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions. We cannot make any assurances that the Acquisition will be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
There are certain risks and uncertainties relating to the Acquisition, including the receipt of competition approvals in several jurisdictions. For example, the Acquisition may not be completed, or may not be completed in the time frame, on the terms or in the manner currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the Acquisition will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to close the Acquisition. Failure to complete the Acquisition would prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition.
Even if the Acquisition is completed, we may not realize the potential benefits from the Acquisition in the near term or at all.
The success of the Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate the Dorna business operations with ours. If we are unable to do so following the Acquisition, the anticipated benefits and potential synergies of the Acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Integration of Dorna may be more challenging or time consuming than we expect and there are various uncertainties associated with transitioning certain business practices and services following completion of the Acquisition. Any failure to timely realize the potential benefits of the Acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
We are subject to provisions under the Acquisition documents that, in specified circumstances, could require us to pay significant break up fees or damages to the Sellers.
The transaction documents for the Acquisition provide that, in specified circumstances, we could be required to pay significant break up fees or damages to the Sellers. If the Acquisition is terminated under certain circumstances, we could become liable to the Sellers for a break up fee of €126.0 million. If we become obligated to pay damages in the event of a termination of the Acquisition documents, the payment could have a material adverse effect on us.
MotoGP has a significant amount of indebtedness and, if the Acquisition is consummated, the Company’s indebtedness will increase.
MotoGP has a significant amount of indebtedness outstanding and, if the Acquisition is consummated, the Company’s outstanding indebtedness will increase. In addition, while the Company may never utilize any or all of the Bridge Facility, the Company may require long-term debt financing in the future to consummate the Acquisition or to pay off existing indebtedness. Increased indebtedness would increase the Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; require it to dedicate a portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on indebtedness, reducing the availability of cash flow to fund capital expenditures, marketing and other general corporate activities; limit its ability to borrow additional funds; and may limit its flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business. See “Summary — Recent Developments — Dorna Acquisition” for additional information about Dorna’s expected debt following the consummation of the Acquisition and the Company’s expected increased debt as a result of the Acquisition.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $815,988,700 ($938,504,200 if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares of FWONK is exercised in full), after deducting the underwriter’s discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering (i) to fund the increase in total cash consideration to be paid to the Sellers in the Acquisition in the amount of €735 million (or approximately $803 million based on the euro/U.S.$ rate of exchange of €1.00/US$1.0919 on August 8, 2024, as reported by Bloomberg) such that no Consideration Shares will be issued in the Acquisition and (ii) for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt. Completion of this offering is not conditioned upon consummation of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not consummated for any reason, the net proceeds from this offering would be available for general corporate purposes and attributed to the Formula One Group tracking stock.

UNDERWRITING
We are offering the shares of FWONK described in this prospectus. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as underwriter. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the 10,650,000 shares of FWONK.
The underwriter is committed to purchase all of the shares of FWONK offered by us if it purchases any shares. The offering of the shares of FWONK by the underwriter is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriter’s right to reject any order in whole or in part.
The underwriter proposes to offer the shares of FWONK directly to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.404 per share. Any such dealers may resell shares of FWONK to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $0.202 per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the shares of FWONK to the public, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriter. Sales of shares of FWONK made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriter.
We have granted the underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,597,500 shares of FWONK from us at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter has 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this option to purchase additional shares of FWONK.
The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share of FWONK less the amount paid by the underwriter to us per share of FWONK. The underwriting fee is $0.808 per share. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriter.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $781,100.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by the underwriter. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of shares of FWONK for sale to its online brokerage account holders.
We have agreed that we will not (i) directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of FWONK or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of FWONK, or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the shares of FWONK, whether any such transaction described in (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of FWONK or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case without the prior written consent of the underwriter for a period of 30 days after the date of this prospectus, other than (a) the shares of FWONK to be sold hereunder, (b) any shares of FWONK issued by us upon the exercise of an option, stock appreciation award or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date of this prospectus, (c) any shares of FWONK issued or options to purchase FWONK granted, or stock appreciation rights or restricted shares units relating to shares of FWONK granted, pursuant to our existing employee benefit plans, (d) any shares of FWONK issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan, (e) any shares of FWONK that may be issued to any seller in the Acquisition or the filing of any registration statement in connection with the Acquisition, (f) any existing

“zero-cost collar” arrangements that exist as of the date of this prospectus or (g) pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2021, by and among John C. Malone, the John C. Malone 1995 Revocable Trust U/A DTD 3/6/1995 and the Company.
Our directors and executive officers have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriter prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these persons, with limited exceptions, for a period of 30 days after the date of this prospectus, may not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of FWONK or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of FWONK, whether owned at the date of such lock-up agreement or thereafter acquired by such person or with respect to which such person or entity had or thereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the Lock-Up Securities), or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing (other than as required by applicable law), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith under the Securities Act, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of FWONK or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of FWONK in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares of FWONK while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the shares of FWONK, which involves the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares of FWONK than it is required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of FWONK on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. A naked short position may be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares of FWONK in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriter creates a naked short position, it will purchase shares of FWONK in the open market to cover the position.
The underwriter has advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, it may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the shares of FWONK, including the imposition of penalty bids.
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the shares of FWONK or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares of FWONK, and, as a result, the price of the shares of FWONK may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriter commences these activities, it may discontinue them at any time. The underwriter may carry out these transactions on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
In addition, in connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in passive market making transactions in shares of FWONK on Nasdaq prior to the pricing and completion of this offering. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on Nasdaq no higher than the bid prices of independent market makers and making purchases at prices no higher than these independent bids and effected in response to order flow. Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are generally limited to a specified percentage of the passive market maker’s average daily trading volume in the shares of FWONK during a specified period and must be discontinued when such limit is reached. Passive market making may cause the price of shares of FWONK to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. If passive market making is commenced, it may be discontinued at any time.
Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriter that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of
