On November 6, 2023, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“Atlanta Braves Holdings” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the commencement of a secondary public offering of an aggregate of 1,811,066 shares of Series C common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, in its capacity as a stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”), as well as a proposed sale of the Shares to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Underwriter”).

 

On November 6, 2023, the Company and the Selling Stockholder entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Underwriter, relating to the secondary public offering (the “Offering”) of the Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholder. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholder in the Offering. The Underwriting Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Selling Stockholder, conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination rights. The Underwriter and their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking services for the Company for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
