Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. filings document the formal disclosures of a public professional sports company whose Class A common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under MSGS. Recent 8-K filings cover quarterly results, financial-condition exhibits, executive officer appointments and departures, stockholder meeting voting results, and material agreements involving the New York Knicks business.
The filings also describe governance and capital-structure matters, including Class A and Class B voting rights, board elections, officer compensation arrangements and credit-facility amendments. These regulatory records connect the company’s Knicks, Rangers and related sports assets with reported operating results, financing arrangements, shareholder votes and public-company reporting obligations.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (now MSG Knickerbockers Corp., MSGK) distributed all shares of MSG Rangers Corp. to its stockholders on October 26, 2026, separating the New York Rangers business. Holders received one share of the corresponding MSG Rangers class for every two shares of the same MSGK class held on October 20, 2026. Future transfers of Rangers ownership, its location, and certain other asset or ownership transfers require NHL consent, subject to exceptions; the parties also agreed to release NHL entities from claims. MSGK will report the Rangers business as discontinued operations through the distribution date beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2026.
The unaudited pro forma statements show continuing-operations revenue of $816.552 million and net income of $26.334 million for fiscal 2026; the company cautions these illustrative figures are not representative of future results. MSGK’s name change took effect October 26, 2026. Amended agreements provide annual base salaries of at least $1,016,000 for James L. Dolan, $508,000 for David Granville-Smith, $412,750 for Paul DiCicco, and $635,000 for Jamaal T. Lesane, and set their respective annual long-term award targets at $4,953,000, $1,079,500, $412,750, and $952,500. Dolan received a one-time $10 million cash award, paid October 26.
MSGK (formerly Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. and identified in the proxy as MSG Knickerbockers Corp.) is seeking votes at its virtual annual meeting scheduled for December 8, 2026. The ballot includes election of 12 directors—three elected by Class A holders and nine by Class B holders—ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor, and an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation. The Board recommends FOR all three proposals. Stockholders of record on October 15, 2026 may vote; advance registration is due December 3, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Class A shares carry one vote each; Class B shares carry 10 votes. As of October 15, 2026, 19,589,501 Class A shares and 4,529,517 Class B shares were outstanding. The Dolan Family Group owns all Class B shares and can elect all nine Class B directors and approve the auditor and compensation proposals regardless of other votes. The October 26, 2026 Rangers Distribution accompanied the company’s name change; MSG Rangers now owns and operates the Rangers business, and five directors became MSG Rangers directors. Irving Azoff and Isiah L. Thomas III were appointed to MSGK’s Board.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. amended its disclosure concerning the distribution of MSGS Spinco common stock, including overlapping management, potential conflicts, governance and awards. James L. Dolan will be executive chairman and CEO of MSGS, MSGS Spinco, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, and non-executive chairman of AMC Global Media. David Granville-Smith will be an executive vice president at MSGS, MSGS Spinco, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Global Media; Paul DiCicco will be executive vice president, CFO and treasurer of MSGS and MSGS Spinco; Jamaal T. Lesane will be executive vice president and chief legal officer of both. MSGS says overlapping leaders may face actual or apparent conflicts involving corporate opportunities and commercial arrangements.
Immediately following the Distribution, three MSGS directors are expected to serve on MSGS Spinco’s board; seven MSGS directors will also serve on MSG Entertainment’s board, nine on Sphere Entertainment’s and four on AMC Global Media’s. MSGS has renounced certain corporate opportunities, and transactions with MSGS Spinco in excess of $1,000,000 will be subject to independent committee approval. Each existing MSGS option will become one MSGS option and one MSGS Spinco option, with its exercise price allocated using weighted average share prices over the 10 trading days immediately following the Distribution. Tax recognition of certain Rangers advance-sale deferred revenue will accelerate to the Distribution; assuming it occurred June 30, 2026, estimated tax would be approximately $20.0 million, which MSGS Spinco will not reimburse.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSGS) reported that Paul M. DiCicco, EVP, CFO & Treasurer, received a grant of 813 restricted stock units on August 26, 2026. Each unit represents a right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock or its cash equivalent. The units are scheduled to vest and settle in three equal installments on September 15, 2027, September 15, 2028 and September 15, 2029. DiCicco directly held 813 units after the grant.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSGS), as the reporting person, reported direct ownership of 100 shares of MSGS Spinco, Inc. common stock on October 9, 2026. The report was made in connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s declaration of effectiveness of MSGS Spinco’s Form 10, which describes a planned distribution of all MSGS Spinco common stock to Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. stockholders.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSGS) approved a planned spin-off of its New York Rangers business through a distribution of one share of MSGS Spinco Class A or Class B common stock for every two corresponding MSGS shares held of record on October 20, 2026. The distribution is scheduled for 11:59 p.m. New York City time on October 26, 2026, subject to Form 10 effectiveness, final NYSE listing approval for Spinco Class A, the asset contribution, final NHL approval and a tax opinion. The board retains the right to modify or abandon the distribution before it occurs.
After completion, MSGS expects to become MSG Knickerbockers Corp. (Class A symbol MSGK), while Spinco is to become MSG Rangers Corp. (Class A symbol MSGR) and hold the Rangers-related businesses; MSGS will have no continuing common-stock ownership in it. The spin-off is intended to qualify as tax-free. Tax recognition of certain deferred revenue will accelerate to the distribution date; assuming the distribution occurred June 30, 2026, estimated tax would be approximately $20.0 million, which MSGS Spinco will not reimburse.
