Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 21, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), UFC Holdings, LLC (“UFC Holdings”), an indirect subsidiary of Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into the Fifth Refinancing Amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2016, among Zuffa Guarantor, LLC, UFC Holdings, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as previously amended and/or restated, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as further amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). All defined terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement Amendment amended the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) refinance and replace the outstanding first lien secured term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) with a new class of first lien secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $2,750.0 million (the “New Term Loans”), which now mature on November 21, 2031, (ii) refinance the existing secured revolving credit facility (the “Existing Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $205.0 million, which now matures on November 21, 2029 (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), and (iii) make certain other changes to the Existing Credit Agreement including as summarized below.

The New Term Loans will bear interest at a variable interest rate equal to either, at the option of UFC Holdings, Term SOFR or the ABR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. SOFR term loans accrue interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 2.25%, with a SOFR floor of 0.00%. ABR term loans accrue interest at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate, (c) Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00% and (d) 1.00%, plus (ii) 1.25%. The New Term Loans include 1% principal amortization payable in equal quarterly installments.

The loans made pursuant to the New Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a variable interest rate equal to either, at the option of UFC Holdings, Term SOFR or the ABR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. SOFR revolving loans accrue interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 2.00%-2.25%, depending on the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with a SOFR floor of 0.00%. ABR revolving loans accrue interest at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the prime rate, (c) Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00% and (d) 1.00%, plus (ii) 1.00%-1.25%, depending on the First Lien Leverage Ratio.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment, following the Closing Date, the testing condition related to the New Revolving Credit Facility financial covenant is the greater of (i) $85.0 million and (ii) 40% of the borrowing capacity of the New Revolving Credit Facility (excluding any letters of credit, whether drawn or undrawn).

On the Closing Date, UFC Holdings borrowed $2,750.0 million of New Term Loans under the Credit Agreement to (i) repay the entire amount outstanding under the Existing Term Loans and (ii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement Amendment.

Certain of the parties to the Credit Agreement and/or their respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking, advisory roles and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company and/or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
