Rhea-AI Filing Summary

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D reports changes in beneficial ownership and group membership among members of the Dolan family with respect to Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.'s Class A and Class B common stock. As of September 8, 2025, the Group Members may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 8,552,403 shares of Class A Common Stock, including 1,685,649 shares held directly or through awards and 6,866,754 shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 17.9% of Class A shares outstanding based on 40,593,104 shares.

The filing discloses that the Charles F. Dolan 2009 Revocable Trust transferred all of its Class B shares on September 8, 2025, moving 341,684 Class B shares to various Group Members as partial repayment of promissory notes at a valuation of $41.54 per share. Several trusts and individuals were added as Group Members and parties to related shareholder and registration arrangements. Separately, James L. Dolan received grants totaling 226,436 units (113,218 restricted stock units and 113,218 performance restricted stock units) and 100,429 performance units vested to settle on September 15, 2025.

Positive

  • Group retains substantial consolidated economic and voting position: Group Members may be deemed to beneficially own 8,552,403 shares (approx. 17.9%) including all Class B conversion equivalents.
  • Resolution of promissory notes via share transfer: CFD 2009 Trust transferred 341,684 Class B shares in partial repayment at $41.54/share, completing that trust's disposition.
  • New Group Members and updated agreements: Several trusts were added as Group Members and became parties to the Class B Stockholders' Agreement and Dolan Affiliates Agreement, clarifying registration and voting arrangements.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Transfer of all CFD 2009 Trust Class B shares and reconstitution of Dolan family group maintains concentrated voting power equal to all outstanding Class B shares.

The Amendment documents a notable reallocation of Class B economic and voting interests within the Dolan family structure without introducing outside parties. The transfer of 341,684 Class B shares and the addition of new trust members preserve collective control of 6,866,754 Class A-equivalent shares under Class B conversion rights and the Class B Stockholders' Agreement. For governance, this keeps high dual-class voting influence centralized among family trusts and affiliated trustees while updating registration and transfer restrictions and parties to the Dolan Affiliates Agreement.

TL;DR: The filing is material for investors: it discloses a 17.9% aggregate economic stake and intra-family transfers tied to promissory note repayment.

From an investor-disclosure standpoint, the Amendment clarifies current ownership metrics used by the issuer (40,593,104 Class A shares outstanding) and reports the valuation used for the share-for-note repayment ($41.54 per share). It also documents additional equity compensation to the CEO-level reporting person (James L. Dolan) and the timing of vesting events, which affect near-term potential dilution and share supply. The changes are administrative and familial in nature but are plainly material to voting and control analysis.
