NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) (the "Company" or "MSG Entertainment") today announced the pricing of the previously announced underwritten secondary offering by Sphere Entertainment Group, LLC (the "Selling Stockholder") of 7,150,000 shares of MSG Entertainment's Class A common stock at a public offering price of $32.50 per share. The shares are expected to be delivered on or about September 22, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Selling Stockholder has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,071,188 shares of MSG Entertainment's Class A common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts.

In addition, as part of the secondary offering, MSG Entertainment intends to repurchase 1,602,564 shares of its Class A common stock from the underwriters, at a price of $31.20 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $50 million, under the Company's existing share repurchase authorization (the "share repurchase").  The Company intends to fund the share repurchase from borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility, which has been amended to increase the available capacity from $100 million to $150 million. Upon completion of the share repurchase, the Company estimates that the outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility will be approximately $67 million.

The Selling Stockholder will receive all of the net proceeds from the offering.
