[DEF 14A] Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. Definitive Proxy Statement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSGS) filed its definitive proxy for the 2025 annual meeting. The virtual meeting is set for December 8, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. ET, with advance registration required by December 3, 2025. Stockholders will vote on three items: electing directors, ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor, and an advisory vote on executive compensation. The Board recommends FOR all proposals.

The slate includes 15 nominees—four elected by Class A holders and 11 by Class B holders—for one‑year terms. As of October 16, 2025, there were 19,529,890 Class A shares (one vote per share) and 4,529,517 Class B shares (ten votes per share) outstanding. The Dolan Family Group, through ownership of all Class B shares, can elect all Class B directors and approve Proposals 2 and 3. If all nominees are elected, Class A representation would be about 27% of the Board, and independent directors about 47%.

The proxy outlines governance practices and an executive pay program using AOI and revenue as key metrics, with long‑term incentives split between performance stock units and restricted stock units. Non‑employee director compensation includes a $75,000 cash retainer, a $160,000 annual equity retainer, and committee fees.

A culture of accountability

Our performance management practices promote transparency, accountability and alignment with our business goals. Through ongoing, actionable feedback and development-focused conversations, we support individual growth and recognize contributions at every level. Continuous learning is also promoted and supported through an online learning platform and tuition assistance.

Supporting total well-being

Our benefit offerings are designed to meet the range of needs of our diverse workforce and include: domestic partner coverage; medical, dental and vision plan options; life insurance benefits for the employee and their dependents; a 401k plan with employer match; an employee assistance program which also provides assistance with child and elder care resources; legal support; pet insurance; wellness programs and financial planning seminars.

Assuming all of the director nominees are elected at the annual meeting, our Class A director representation will be approximately 27% of the Board, consistent with the 25% minimum required by our Articles of Incorporation (“Articles of Incorporation”).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

The Company is a sports business comprised of dynamic and powerful assets and brands. We operate in specialized industries and our named executive officers (“NEOs”) have substantial and meaningful professional experience in these industries. Given the unique nature of our business, the Company places great importance on its ability to attract, retain, motivate and reward experienced NEOs who can continue to drive our business objectives and achieve strong financial, operational and stock price performance.

Executive Compensation Principles:
ü			Significant portion of compensation opportunities should be at risk
ü			Long-term performance incentives should generally outweigh short-term performance incentives
ü			Executive officers should be aligned with stockholders through equity compensation
ü			Compensation structure should enable the Company to attract, retain, motivate and reward the best talent in a competitive industry

Table of Contents

Elements of Compensation & Performance Objectives

The Company compensates its NEOs through base salary, annual incentive awards, long-term incentive awards, perquisites and benefit programs. Our annual and long-term incentive programs provide performance-based incentives for our NEOs tied to key measures that drive long-term stockholder value and reward sustained achievement of the Company’s key financial goals. The Company considers revenues and adjusted operating income (“AOI”) to be the key financial measures of the Company’s operating performance. As such, our Compensation Committee has incorporated AOI and revenues in our long-term incentive performance awards and AOI in our annual incentive awards. The Company’s long-term incentive program also includes restricted stock units whose value is tied to the performance of the market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In order to further align compensation opportunities with the Company’s strategic vision and focus on growth, the Compensation Committee has also occasionally granted certain awards in the form of stock options, where appropriate, which support the goal of generating long-term stockholder value.

The table below summarizes the elements of our compensation program in effect for fiscal year 2025 and how each element was linked to Company performance. For more information on our executive compensation program and policies, please see “Compensation Discussion & Analysis.”

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “MSGS.” As a result, we are subject to certain of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

When and where is the annual meeting being held?

The annual meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, December 8, 2025. The annual meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast. For more information on how to attend the annual meeting, please see the question titled “How do I attend, vote and ask questions during the annual meeting?” below.

Who may vote during the annual meeting?

Holders of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and holders of our Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and together with Class A Common Stock, collectively, “Company Stock”), as recorded in our stock register at the close of business on October 16, 2025, may vote during the annual meeting. On October 16, 2025, there were 19,529,890 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,529,517 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

As a result of their ownership of all of the shares of Class B Common Stock, certain members of the Dolan family, including certain trusts for the benefit of members of the Dolan family (collectively, the “Dolan Family Group”), have the power to elect all of the directors to be elected by the holders of our Class B Common Stock and to approve Proposals 2 (appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) and 3 (advisory vote on compensation of the Company’s named executive officers), regardless of how other shares are voted.

Table of Contents

Why did I receive a Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, the Company has elected to provide access to its proxy materials by Internet. Accordingly, the Company has sent a Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders. All stockholders have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials by Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. In addition, our stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically. If you previously chose to receive proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive access to these materials via email unless you otherwise elect. The Company encourages our stockholders who have not already done so to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the cost and the environmental impact of the annual meeting.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, you are considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials was sent directly to you by the Company. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will also receive a proxy card.

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization, then you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials was forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization how to vote the shares held in your account. If you requested printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a voting instruction form from that organization.

What votes need to be present to hold the annual meeting?

In order to carry on the business of the annual meeting, we need a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding shares eligible to vote on the record date, October 16, 2025, to be present, either by participating in the annual meeting or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter). This is known as a “quorum.” If voting on a particular action is by class, a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding shares of such class constitutes a quorum for such action. Abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are considered present for purposes of determining a quorum.

How do I vote?

You may vote in advance of the annual meeting by telephone, Internet or mail by following the instructions provided on the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you choose to vote by mail, please sign, date and return the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may also vote during the annual meeting. For more information on how to vote during the meeting, please see the question titled “How do I attend, vote and ask questions during the annual meeting?” Even if you plan to participate in the annual meeting, the Board strongly recommends that you submit a proxy to vote your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the annual meeting.

Table of Contents

Can my broker vote my shares without instructions from me?

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization, you must instruct them how to vote your shares. Please use the voting instruction form provided to you by your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to direct them how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on the election of directors or any other proposal on which the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a “broker non-vote.” In these cases, the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization can register your shares as being present at the annual meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required under applicable rules.

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization, your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization has discretionary voting authority under applicable rules to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2), even if the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization does not receive voting instructions from you. However, your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization does not have discretionary authority to vote on (i) the election of directors (Proposal 1) or (ii) the advisory vote with respect to NEO compensation (Proposal 3) without instructions from you, in which case a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on these matters.

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

Election of directors by the holders of our Class A Common Stock requires the affirmative vote of the plurality of votes cast by holders of our Class A Common Stock. Election of directors by the holders of our Class B Common Stock requires the affirmative vote of the plurality of votes cast by holders of our Class B Common Stock. The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2) and advisory vote with respect to NEO compensation (Proposal 3) require the favorable vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our Class A Common Stock and the holders of our Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the proposals because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast. As a result of their ownership of all of the shares of our Class B Common Stock, members of the Dolan Family Group have the power to elect all of the directors to be elected by the holders of our Class B Common Stock and to approve (i) the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2) and (ii) the advisory vote with respect to NEO compensation (Proposal 3), regardless of how other shares are voted. Proposal 3 is an advisory vote only and is not binding on the Company.

Can I change my vote after I have voted?

Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote during the annual meeting. You may change your vote prior to the annual meeting by:

•re-voting your shares by Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the annual meeting will be counted);

•signing and returning a valid proxy card or voting instruction form with a later date;

•delivering a written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary at Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121; or

•attending the annual meeting and re-voting your shares electronically during the annual meeting by clicking “Vote Here” on the meeting website (but your participation in the annual meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you validly vote again during the annual meeting).

How will my shares be voted during the annual meeting if I submit a proxy card?

The proxy materials, including the proxy card, are being solicited on behalf of the Board. The Company representatives appointed by the Board (the persons named on the proxy card, or, if applicable, their substitutes) will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card and return it without indicating how you would like to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as the Board recommends, which is:

•FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2); and

•FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs (Proposal 3).

Who participates in and pays for this solicitation?

The Company will bear the expense of preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying materials. Solicitation of individual stockholders may be made by mail, personal interviews, telephone, facsimile, electronic delivery or other telecommunications by our executive officers and regular employees who will receive no additional compensation for such activities.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

Stockholders of record who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials may receive only one copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and our 2025 Form 10-K unless we are notified that one or more of these stockholders wishes to receive individual copies. This “householding” procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees as well as the environmental impact of the annual meeting.

Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and any accompanying documents, or if you do not wish to continue to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of these documents in the future, please contact Broadridge Householding Department, by calling their toll-free number, 1-866-540-7095, or by writing to: Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. You will be removed from the householding program within 30 days of receipt of your instructions, at which time you will then be sent separate copies of the documents.

If you are a beneficial owner, you can request information about householding from your broker, bank or other holder of record.

How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

This Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, the proxy card and the 2025 Form 10-K are available at www.proxyvote.com.

Table of Contents

In accordance with the SEC rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders. Consequently, most of our stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. Instead, we are sending these stockholders a Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our proxy statement and the 2025 Form 10-K, and voting by Internet. This makes the proxy distribution process more efficient and less costly and helps conserve natural resources. The Notice of Annual Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides information on how our stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. If you previously elected to receive proxy materials electronically, these materials will continue to be sent via email unless you change your election.

If you receive paper copies of our proxy materials and would like to sign up for electronic delivery via email or the Internet, please follow the instructions to vote by Internet at www.proxyvote.com and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access stockholder communications electronically in future years.

THE DISTRIBUTIONS

The Company was incorporated as MSG Spinco, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of MSG Networks Inc. (“MSG Networks”). We changed our name to The Madison Square Garden Company on September 30, 2015 in connection with the distribution of all of the Company’s outstanding common stock to the stockholders of MSG Networks (the “MSGS Distribution”). Pursuant to the MSGS Distribution, the Company acquired the entertainment and sports businesses previously owned by MSG Networks through its MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports business segments.

We changed our name to Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. on April 17, 2020 in connection with the distribution of all of the outstanding common stock of Sphere Entertainment (which was previously known as Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. until the MSGE Distribution (as defined below)) to our stockholders (the “SPHR Distribution”). Pursuant to the SPHR Distribution, Sphere Entertainment acquired the entertainment business previously owned and operated by the Company through its Entertainment segment as well as the sports bookings business which was part of the Sports segment.

On April 20, 2023, Sphere Entertainment distributed approximately 67% of the outstanding common stock of MSG Entertainment to its stockholders (the “MSGE Distribution”). Pursuant to the MSGE Distribution, MSG Entertainment acquired the traditional live entertainment business previously owned and operated by Sphere Entertainment through its Entertainment business segment, other than the Sphere business (which was retained by Sphere Entertainment). As of September 22, 2023, Sphere Entertainment no longer owns any of MSG Entertainment’s common stock.

BOARD AND GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Our Board has adopted the Governance Guidelines and other practices to promote the functioning of the Board and its committees to serve the best interests of all our stockholders. The Governance Guidelines and our other governance documents provide a framework for our governance practices, including:

✓Annual election of directors, with all directors elected to one-year terms

✓Board composition to include a broad range of skills, experience, industry knowledge, diversity of opinion and contacts relevant to the Company’s business, that serves the interests of all stockholders

✓Board self-assessments conducted at least annually to assess the mix of skills and experience that directors bring to the Board to facilitate an effective oversight function

✓Robust director nomination criteria to ensure a diversity of viewpoints, background and expertise in the boardroom

✓Regular executive sessions of independent directors

✓Independent Board committees, with each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee comprised 100% of independent directors

✓Restricted stock units subject to holding requirement through the end of service on the Board

Our Governance Guidelines set forth our practices and policies with respect to Board composition and selection, Board meetings, executive sessions of the Board, Board committees, the expectations we have of our directors, selection of the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, management succession, Board and executive compensation and Board self-assessment requirements. The full text of our Governance Guidelines may be viewed at our corporate website at www.msgsports.com under Investors — Governance — Corporate Governance — Governance Documents. A copy may be obtained by writing to Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121; Attention: Corporate Secretary.

STOCKHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Fostering long-term relationships with our stockholders is a priority for the Company. Engagement helps us gain insight into the issues most important to our stockholders, informing Board discussions and allowing us to consider investors’ views on a range of topics including corporate governance and executive compensation matters.

We regularly engage with stockholders, and during the 2025 fiscal year management of the Company engaged with holders of over 60% of our Class A Common Stock concerning our Board, governance and executive compensation practices, with the specific goal of seeking stockholder feedback. We greatly value the views of our stockholders, and we look forward to continuing to receive such feedback.

Table of Contents

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Our Board has the flexibility to determine whether the roles of Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separated or combined. The Board makes this decision based on its evaluation of the circumstances and the Company’s specific needs from time to time. The Board has determined that combining these roles is the optimal leadership structure for the Company at this time because of Mr. Dolan’s experience with the Company’s business and industry, as well as his ability to most effectively identify strategic priorities of the Company and ensure execution of the Company’s strategy. The Board may in the future decide to separate the roles of Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer if it believes that a separation is consistent with the optimal leadership structure for the Company. The Board does not designate a lead independent director and believes it is appropriate not to have one because of the Company’s stockholder voting structure.

BOARD SELF-ASSESSMENT

The Board conducts an annual self-assessment to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. Among other things, the Board’s self-assessment seeks input from the directors on whether they have the tools and access necessary to perform their oversight function as well as suggestions for improvement of the Board’s functioning. In addition, our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee each conducts its own annual self-assessment, which includes an assessment of the adequacy of their performance as compared to their respective charters.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF NON-MANAGEMENT AND INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS

Under our Governance Guidelines, either our directors who are not also executive officers of our Company (the “non-management directors”) or our directors who are independent under the NYSE rules are required to meet regularly in executive sessions with no members of management present. If non-management directors who are not independent participate in these executive sessions, the independent directors under the NYSE rules are required to meet separately in executive sessions at least once each year. The non-management or independent directors may specify the procedure to designate the director who may preside at any such executive session.

COMMUNICATING WITH OUR DIRECTORS

Our Board has adopted policies designed to allow our stockholders and other interested parties to communicate with our directors. Any interested party who wishes to communicate with the Board or any director or the non-management directors as a group should send communications in writing to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121. Any person, whether or not an employee, who has a concern with respect to our accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing issues or other matters, may, in a confidential or anonymous manner, communicate those concerns to our Audit Committee by contacting the MSG Sports Integrity Hotline, which is operated by a third-party service provider, at 1-844-913-0611 or www.msg.ethicspoint.com.

RISK OVERSIGHT

Our Board believes that risk oversight is an important Board responsibility. The Board has delegated risk oversight to the Audit Committee, including oversight of cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee discusses guidelines and policies governing the process by which the Company’s management assesses and manages the Company’s exposure to risk and discusses the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Audit Committee also receives periodic updates from subject matter experts regarding specific risks, such as security of our facilities and cybersecurity. The Compensation Committee considers the Company’s exposure to risk in establishing and implementing our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, reviewed the level of risk incentivized by the Company’s executive compensation program as well as incentive programs below the executive officer level. Based on this assessment and the executive compensation program’s mix of fixed and variable compensation, emphasis on long-term performance, maximum performance levels under the annual and long-term incentive awards, the program’s close connection to Company-wide performance and its equity-based component with three-year vesting designed to align the executive officers’ compensation with the Company’s long-term strategy and growth, the Compensation Committee determined that our executive compensation program does not create incentives for excessive risk-taking that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS

Our Board has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics for our directors, officers and employees. A portion of this Code of Conduct and Ethics also serves as a code of conduct and ethics for our senior financial officers, including our principal accounting officer and controller. Among other things, our Code of Conduct and Ethics covers conflicts of interest, disclosure responsibilities, legal compliance, reporting and compliance with the Code of Conduct and Ethics, confidentiality, corporate opportunities, fair dealing, protection and proper use of Company assets and equal employment opportunity and harassment. The full text of the Code of Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at www.msgsports.com under Investors — Governance — Corporate Governance — Governance Documents. In addition, a copy may be obtained by writing to Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121; Attention: Corporate Secretary. Within the time period required by the SEC, we will post on our website any amendment to the Code of Conduct and Ethics and any waiver applicable to any executive officer, director or senior financial officer.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

As a “controlled company” we are not subject to the corporate governance rules of the NYSE requiring: (i) a majority of independent directors on our Board, (ii) an independent corporate governance and nominating committee and (iii) an independent compensation committee. On account of this, and based on our ownership and voting structure, we do not have a majority of independent directors on our Board and we have not created a corporate governance and nominating committee; however, we maintain an independent compensation committee.

Under the terms of our Articles of Incorporation, the holders of our Class B Common Stock have the right to elect up to 75% of the members of our Board and there is no requirement that any of those directors be independent or be chosen independently.

Despite the fact that our Board does not have a majority of independent directors, we value independent oversight and perspectives in our boardroom. That independent input is fostered by our Articles of Incorporation, which give holders of our Class A Common Stock the right to elect at least 25% of our Board, as well as by the presence on our Board of three directors elected by our Class B stockholders who meet the NYSE and SEC standards of independence. Assuming all of the director nominees are elected at the annual meeting,

13

Table of Contents

our Class A director representation will be approximately 27% of the Board, consistent with the 25% minimum required by our Articles of Incorporation, and independent director representation will be approximately 47%.

Our Board has determined that each of the following non-management directors is “independent” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the SEC: Messrs. Joseph M. Cohen, Stephen C. Mills, Nelson Peltz, Alan D. Schwartz, Ivan Seidenberg, Vincent Tese and Anthony J. Vinciquerra.

In reaching its determination for Messrs. Cohen, Mills, Peltz, Schwartz, Seidenberg, Tese and Vinciquerra, the Board considered the following:

•Mr. Cohen has served as a director of AMC Networks Inc. (“AMC Networks”) (a company that is also controlled by the Dolan Family) since June 2022. He previously served as a director of MSG Networks (a company that is also controlled by the Dolan Family as a subsidiary of Sphere Entertainment) from 2020 to 2021. He previously served in various senior executive roles with Madison Square Garden while the business was part of Cablevision Systems Corporation (“Cablevision”) and was President of MSG Networks from 1977 to 1985. The Board determined that these relationships are not material and that Mr. Cohen is independent within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the SEC.

•Mr. Mills served as President from 2017 to 2020 and as Executive Vice President and General Manager from 2013 to 2017 of the New York Knicks, which is owned by the Company. In connection with such service, Mr. Mills receives fixed monthly pension payments from the Company. He previously served as the Chief Operating Officer and Sports Business President of MSG Networks from 2003 to 2009. Mr. Mills has served as a director of AMC Networks since June 2024 and previously served as a director of MSG Networks from 2020 to 2021. The Board determined that these relationships are not material and that Mr. Mills is independent within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the SEC.

•Mr. Schwartz previously served as a director of MSG Networks from 2010 to 2015. Mr. Schwartz also served as a director of AMC Networks from 2011 to 2016. From time to time, he, or entities for which he serves as an officer or principal, have performed services for AMC Networks. The Board determined that performance of these services, and the receipt of compensation for these services, is not material and that Mr. Schwartz is independent within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the SEC.

•Mr. Tese has served as a director of Sphere Entertainment (a company that is also controlled by the Dolan Family) since April 2020 and AMC Networks since 2016. He also previously served as a director of MSG Networks from 2010 to 2015. Mr. Tese’s brother was employed by a subsidiary of the Company until 2020, was employed by a subsidiary of Sphere Entertainment from April 2020 until August 2020, was rehired by Sphere Entertainment in December 2021 and his employment was transferred from Sphere Entertainment to a subsidiary of MSG Entertainment in connection with the MSGE Distribution until his separation from MSG Entertainment in February 2024, in each case, in a non-executive officer position. The Board determined that these relationships are not material and that Mr. Tese is independent within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the SEC.

DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS

As permitted under the NYSE rules, we do not have a nominating committee and believe it is appropriate not to have one because of our stockholder voting structure. The Board has nonetheless established a nomination mechanism in our Governance Guidelines for the selection of nominees for election as directors by the holders of our Class A Common Stock (“Class A Directors”) and by the holders of our Class B Common Stock (“Class B Directors”), as follows:

•Nominees for election as Class A Directors are recommended to the Board by a majority of the independent Class A Directors then in office.

•Nominees for election as Class B Directors are recommended to our Board by a majority of the Class B Directors then in office.

14

Table of Contents

Our Articles of Incorporation provide holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock the right to elect up to 75% of the members of our Board and holders of our Class A Common Stock the right to elect 25% of the members of our Board.

DIRECTOR SELECTION

Our Board believes that each director nominee should be evaluated based on the skills needed on the Board and his or her individual merits, taking into account, among other matters, the factors set forth in our Governance Guidelines under “Board Composition” and “Selection of Directors.” Those factors include:

•The desire to have a Board that encompasses a broad range of skills, expertise, industry knowledge, diversity of viewpoints, opinions, background and experience and contacts relevant to our business;

•Personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community;

•Ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters; and

•The fit of the individual’s skill and personality with those of other directors and potential directors in building a Board that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of our Company.

The Class A Directors evaluate and recommend Class A Director candidates to the Board for nomination as Class A Directors and suggest individuals for the Board to explore in more depth.

The Class A Directors also consider Class A Director nominees recommended by our stockholders. Nominees recommended by our stockholders are given consideration in the same manner as other nominees. Stockholders who wish to nominate directors for election at our 2026 annual meeting may do so by submitting in writing such nominees’ names, in compliance with the procedures and along with other information required by the Company’s Bylaws. See “Other Matters — Stockholder Proposals for 2026 Annual Meeting.”

The Class B Directors will consult from time to time with one or more of the holders of our Class B Common Stock to ensure that all Class B Director nominees recommended to the Board are individuals who will make a meaningful contribution as Board members and will be individuals likely to receive the approving vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. The Class B Directors do not intend to consider unsolicited suggestions of nominees by holders of our Class A Common Stock. We believe that this is appropriate in light of the voting provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, which provide the holders of our Class B Common Stock the exclusive right to elect our Class B Directors.

BOARD MEETINGS

The Board met six times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Each of the directors who served on the Board during the 2025 fiscal year, attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which he or she served that were held during the time he or she served on the Board.

We encourage our directors to attend annual meetings of our stockholders and believe that attendance at annual meetings is equally as important as attendance at Board and committee meetings. All of our then-incumbent directors attended the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

COMMITTEES

Our Board has two standing committees comprised solely of independent directors: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

15

Table of Contents

Audit Committee

•Members: Messrs. Seidenberg (Chair), Tese and Vinciquerra

•Meetings during fiscal year ended June 30, 2025: 4

The primary purposes and responsibilities of our Audit Committee are to:

•assist the Board in (i) its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) its oversight of our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) assessing our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence and (iv) assessing the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm;

•appoint, compensate, retain, oversee and terminate the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approve, or adopt appropriate procedures to pre-approve, all audit and non-audit services, if any, to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm;

•review the appointment and replacement of the head of our Internal Audit Department (which is currently provided through services from MSG Entertainment) and to review and coordinate the agenda, scope, priorities, plan and authority of the Internal Audit Department;

•establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and for the confidential, anonymous submission by Company employees or any provider of accounting-related services of concerns regarding questionable accounting and auditing matters and review of submissions and treatment of any such complaints;

•review and approve related party transactions that are required to be disclosed under SEC rules or that require such approval under the Company’s Related Party Transaction Approval Policy (if the Audit Committee is then serving as the Independent Committee under such policy);

•conduct and review with the Board an annual self-assessment of the Audit Committee;

•prepare any report of the Audit Committee required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for inclusion in our annual proxy statement;

•review and reassess the Audit Committee charter at least annually;

•report to the Board on a regular basis; and

•oversee corporate risks, including cybersecurity, and provide periodic updates to the Board on such oversight activities.

Our Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the rules of both the NYSE and the SEC, and that each has not participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years and is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements. Our Board has also determined that each of Messrs. Seidenberg, Tese and Vinciquerra is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.

Our Board has established a procedure whereby complaints or concerns with respect to accounting, internal controls, auditing and other matters may be submitted to the Audit Committee. This procedure is described under “Board and Governance Practices — Communicating with Our Directors.”

The text of our Audit Committee charter is available on our website at www.msgsports.com under Investors — Governance — Corporate Governance — Governance Documents. A copy may be obtained by writing to Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., Corporate Secretary, Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10121.

Compensation Committee

•Members: Messrs. Cohen (Chair), Tese and Vinciquerra

•Meetings during fiscal year ended June 30, 2025: 7

The primary purposes and responsibilities of our Compensation Committee are to:

•establish our general compensation philosophy and, in consultation with management, oversee the development and implementation of compensation programs;

•review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers who are required to file reports with the SEC under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (together with the Chief Executive Officer, the “Senior Employees”), evaluate the Senior Employees’ performance in light of these goals and objectives and determine and approve their compensation based upon that evaluation;

•approve any new equity compensation plan or material changes to an existing plan;

•oversee the activities of the committee or committees administering our retirement and benefit plans;

•in consultation with management, oversee regulatory compliance with respect to compensation matters, including overseeing the Company’s policies on structuring compensation programs to preserve tax deductibility;

•determine and approve any severance or similar termination payments to be made to Senior Employees (current or former);

•determine the components and amount of Board compensation and review such determinations from time to time in relation to other similarly situated companies;

•prepare any reports of the Compensation Committee to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC;

•conduct and review with the Board an annual self-assessment of the Compensation Committee; and

•report to the Board on a regular basis, but not less than annually.

The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of the Senior Employees, evaluates their performance in light of those goals and objectives and, either as a committee or together with any other independent directors (as directed by the Board), determines and approves the Senior Employees’ compensation level based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, the Compensation Committee considers, among other factors, the Company’s performance and relative stockholder return, broad market survey data on the value of similar incentive awards to Chief Executive Officers at other companies (including industry-specific data from sports and entertainment businesses and additional market data for companies in the broad market) and the awards given to the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in past years.

As discussed above, our Board has determined that each member of our Compensation Committee is “independent” under the rules of the NYSE.

The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, delegate a portion of its duties and responsibilities to one or more subcommittees of the Compensation Committee. For example, the Compensation Committee may delegate the approval of certain transactions to a subcommittee consisting solely of members of the Compensation Committee who are “non-employee directors” for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee has also engaged an independent compensation consultant and independent legal counsel to assist in the performance of its duties and responsibilities.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Cohen, Tese and Vinciquerra currently serve as members of the Compensation Committee. None of them is a current nor a former executive officer or employee of the Company.

Independent Committees

In addition to standing committees, the Company’s Board from time to time appoints or empowers a committee of our Board consisting entirely of independent directors (an “Independent Committee”) to act with respect to specific matters.

The Company has adopted a policy whereby an Independent Committee will review and approve or take such other action as it may deem appropriate with respect to transactions involving the Company and its subsidiaries in which any director, executive officer, greater than 5% stockholder of the Company or any other “related person” (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC) has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. This approval requirement covers any transaction that meets the related party disclosure requirements of the SEC as set forth in Item 404, which currently apply to transactions (or any series of similar transactions) in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000.

Our Board has also adopted a special approval policy for transactions with MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks and their respective subsidiaries whether or not such transactions qualify as “related party” transactions described above. Under this policy, an Independent Committee oversees approval of all transactions and arrangements between the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and each of MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries, Sphere Entertainment and its subsidiaries and AMC Networks and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, in which the value or expected value of the transaction or arrangement exceeds $1 million. In addition, an Independent Committee receives a quarterly update from the Company’s internal audit function of all related party transactions, including transactions and arrangements between the Company and its subsidiaries on the one hand, and each of MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries, Sphere Entertainment and its subsidiaries and AMC Networks and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, regardless of value. To simplify the administration of the approval process under this policy, the Independent Committee may, where appropriate, establish guidelines for certain of these transactions.

For a further discussion of the scope of these policies, see “Related Party Transaction Approval Policy.”

Other Committee Matters

Our Bylaws permit the Board to form an Executive Committee of the Board which would have the power to exercise all of the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, unless and only to the extent otherwise limited by the Nevada Revised Statutes. Our Board has not formed an Executive Committee, although it could do so in the future.

Our Bylaws also permit the Board to appoint other committees of the Board from time to time which would have such powers and duties as the Board properly determines.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The following table describes the components of our non-employee directors’ compensation program in effect during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025:

Compensation Element(1)						Compensation(2)(3)
Annual Cash Retainer(4)						$	75,000
Annual Equity Retainer(5)						$	160,000
Annual Audit/Compensation Committee Member Fee(4)						$	15,000
Annual Audit/Compensation Committee Chair Fee(4)						$	25,000

___________________

(1)A director who is also a Company employee receives no compensation for serving as a director.

(2)From time to time our Compensation Committee and/or our Board may approve additional or alternate compensation arrangements for directors who serve on other committees of the Board, including Independent Committees.

(3)Non-employee directors have the ability to make a non-revocable annual election to defer all cash compensation (annual cash retainer and, if applicable, committee fees) to be earned in the next calendar year into restricted stock units (the “Deferred Compensation Election”). Participating directors made their elections in calendar year 2024 with respect to the Deferred Compensation Election for cash payments to be received in calendar year 2025. Grants of restricted stock units in lieu of cash compensation are determined by dividing the value of the applicable director’s total annual cash compensation by the 20-trading day average closing market price on the day prior to the grant date (February 15 or the next succeeding business day). Restricted stock units are fully vested on the date of grant but remain subject to a holding requirement until the first business day following 90 days after the director incurs a separation from service (other than in the event of a director’s death, in which case they are settled as soon as practicable), at which time they are settled in stock or, at the Compensation Committee’s election, in cash. Such equity grants are made pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, as amended (the “Director Stock Plan”).

(4)The cash retainer and committee membership and chairmanship fees are paid quarterly in arrears and are prorated based on the director’s period of service if a director does not serve the entire quarter.

(5)Each director receives an annual grant of restricted stock units determined by dividing the value of the annual equity retainer by the 20-trading day average closing market price on the day prior to the grant date (typically the date of the annual meeting). Restricted stock units are fully vested on the date of grant but remain subject to a holding requirement until the first business day following 90 days after the director incurs a separation from service (other than in the event of a director’s death, in which case they are settled as soon as practicable), at which time they are settled in stock or, at the Compensation Committee’s election, in cash. Such compensation is made pursuant to the Director Stock Plan.

In order for our directors to develop an intimate familiarity with our teams and the services and support offered to patrons at our events, the Company makes available to each of our non-employee directors without charge up to two tickets per event for up to eight events per calendar year at The Garden, subject to availability. Director attendance at such events is integrally and directly related to the performance of their duties and, as such, we do not deem the receipt of such tickets to be perquisites. These ticket limitations do not apply to special events to which non-employee directors and their guests may have been specifically invited from time to time in their capacity as non-employee directors of the Company. In addition, non-employee directors have access to tickets, at no cost, for events at venues operated by MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, which are deemed to be perquisites, and are also able to purchase tickets to events from the Company, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment at face value, subject to availability. Tickets provided to non-employee directors are not available for resale.

(1)These amounts represent Board retainer fees earned during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, including the value of such amounts that were received by Messrs. Peltz, Schwartz and Seidenberg as restricted stock units pursuant to their Deferred Compensation Election. The amounts reported do not include any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings for which the Company reimburses each non-employee director.

(2)This column reflects the grant date fair market value of (i) 709 restricted stock units granted in December 2024, to each non-employee director, and (ii) with respect to Messrs. Peltz, Schwartz and Seidenberg, the difference between (x) the grant date fair market value of 350, 350 and 466 restricted stock units, respectively granted in February 2025 pursuant to their Deferred Compensation Election for Board service during calendar year 2025, and (y) the retainer fees reported in the Fees Earned or Paid in Cash column for Board service during fiscal year 2025 that were subject to their Deferred Compensation Election. Such grant date fair market values were calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“Topic 718”). The assumptions used by the Company in calculating these amounts are set forth in Note 15 to our financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K. The values reflected in this column differ from the $160,000 value set forth in our directors’ compensation program (or any pro rata portion) because the grant date fair value calculated under Topic 718 differs from the 20-trading day average used to determine the number of units granted to directors.

(3)For each current non-employee director, the aggregate number of restricted stock units held as of June 30, 2025 is as follows: Joseph M. Cohen, 4,620 units; Charles P. Dolan, 6,774 units; Marianne Dolan Weber, 6,145 units; Paul J. Dolan, 4,581 units; Ryan T. Dolan, 4,620 units; Thomas C. Dolan, 6,774 units; Stephen C. Mills, 4,620 units; Nelson Peltz, 8,382 units; Alan D. Schwartz, 7,933 units; Ivan Seidenberg, 6,793 units; Brian G. Sweeney, 6,774 units; Vincent Tese, 6,774 units; and Anthony J. Vinciquerra, 5,177 units.

(4)The value of tickets provided to non-employee directors as perquisites is not included in the table, as permitted by SEC rules, because the aggregate amount of perquisites provided to each director was less than $10,000.

The Company’s Internal Audit function is provided to the Company by the Internal Audit Department of MSG Entertainment through an agreement with MSG Entertainment. The Internal Audit function provides the Audit Committee and management an independent review function, including reviewing and evaluating the adequacy, effectiveness and quality of the Company’s system of internal controls.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte, is responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and expressing an opinion on the conformity of the consolidated financial statements to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and Deloitte the audited financial statements and its evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed with Deloitte the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

___________

(1)AOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined below. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure, please see Annex A.

Stockholder Engagement & Responsiveness

During the 2025 fiscal year, management of the Company engaged with holders of over 60% of our Class A Common Stock concerning our Board, governance and executive compensation practices, with the specific goal of seeking stockholder feedback.

The Compensation Committee has incorporated various aspects of stockholder feedback into our current pay practices over time, and we continue to make enhancements that we believe further align our compensation disclosures with our long-term strategy and interests of our stockholders. In seeking to continue our efforts to align our compensation practices with long-term stockholder interests, the Compensation Committee seeks out and values opportunities to receive stockholder feedback. We look forward to continuing to receive such feedback to inform the regular, ongoing review of our compensation program.

Executive Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy

The Company is a sports business comprised of dynamic and powerful assets and brands. We operate in specialized industries and our NEOs have substantial and meaningful professional experience in these industries. Given the unique nature of our business, the Company places great importance on its ability to attract, retain, motivate and reward experienced NEOs who can continue to drive our business objectives and achieve strong financial, operational and stock price performance. The Compensation Committee has designed executive compensation policies and programs that are consistent with, explicitly linked to, and supportive of the financial and strategic objectives of growing the Company’s businesses and driving long-term stockholder value. The program reflects four key overarching executive compensation principles:

Principle						Implementation(1)
A significant portion of compensation opportunities should be at risk.						•The majority of executive compensation is at risk and based on stockholder returns as well as the Company’s performance against pre-determined financial and strategic performance targets.
Long-term performance incentives should generally outweigh short-term performance incentives.						•Incentive compensation focuses more heavily on long-term rather than short-term accomplishments and results.
Executive officers should be aligned with our stockholders through equity-based compensation.						•Equity-based compensation comprises a substantial portion of executive compensation, ensuring alignment with stockholder interests.
The compensation structure should enable the Company to attract, retain, motivate and reward the best talent in a competitive industry.						•The overall executive compensation program is competitive, equitable and thoughtfully structured so as to attract, retain, motivate and reward talent. •The Compensation Committee focuses on total direct compensation, as well as individual compensation elements when providing competitive compensation opportunities.

(1)Excludes any one-time awards, including awards granted in connection with commencement of employment.

40

Table of Contents

In designing our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee seeks to fulfill these objectives by maintaining appropriate balances between (1) short-term and long-term compensation, (2) cash and equity-based compensation, and (3) performance-based and time-based vesting of compensation.

Elements of Fiscal Year 2025 Compensation & Performance Objectives

The Company compensates its NEOs through base salary, annual incentive awards, long-term incentive awards, perquisites and benefit programs. Our annual and long-term incentive programs provide performance-based incentives for our NEOs tied to key financial and strategic measures that generate long-term stockholder value and reward sustained achievement of the Company’s key financial goals.

The Company considers revenues and AOI to be the key measures of its operating performance. As such, our Compensation Committee has incorporated AOI and revenues in our long-term incentive performance awards (i.e., performance stock units) and AOI in our annual incentive awards. The Company’s long-term incentive program also includes time-vested restricted stock units whose value is tied to the performance of the market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In order to further align compensation opportunities with the Company’s strategic vision and focus on growth, the Compensation Committee has also occasionally granted certain awards in the form of stock options, where appropriate, which support the goal of generating long-term stockholder value.

The table below summarizes the elements of our compensation program as in effect for fiscal year 2025 and how each element supported the Company’s compensation objectives.

2025 Fiscal Year Annual Compensation Opportunities Mix

As described above, the Company’s compensation program is designed with significant long-term performance-based and at-risk components. For the 2025 fiscal year, a substantial majority of NEO annual target compensation was at risk, with a majority of at-risk compensation granted in the form of long-term equity-based awards.

Although Mr. Warner received a prorated bonus and long-term incentive award for fiscal year 2025 given his start date of October 21, 2024 in accordance with his employment agreement, the Average NEO Pay Mix chart reflects Mr. Warner’s full fiscal year 2025 base salary, annual target bonus opportunity and long-term incentive target value.

COMPENSATION PROGRAM PRACTICES AND POLICIES

The following discussion describes the practices and policies implemented by the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. As discussed in greater detail below under “Executive Compensation Tables — Employment Agreements,” much of the NEOs’ compensation for the year ended June 30, 2025 is covered by employment agreements approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.

In the Company’s most recent advisory “say-on-pay” proposal, which was held in 2024, a majority of stockholders (including approximately 92.1% of holders of our Class A Common Stock) voted to approve, on an advisory basis, the Company’s executive compensation. The Compensation Committee considered the results of this vote, as well as the Company’s ongoing discussions with stockholders, in its assessment and development of the compensation program.

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee administers our executive compensation program. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are set forth in its charter. Among other responsibilities, the Compensation Committee: (1) establishes our general compensation philosophy and, in consultation with management, oversees the development and implementation of compensation programs; (2) reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers who are required to file reports with the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, evaluates their performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determines and approves their respective compensation levels based on this evaluation; (3) oversees the activities of the committee or committees administering our retirement and benefit plans; and (4) administers our stockholder-approved compensation plans. For more information about the Compensation Committee, please see “Board and Governance Practices — Committees — Compensation Committee.”

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee utilizes the services of the independent compensation consultant and independent legal counsel, and considers recommendations from management, each as further described below.

43

Table of Contents

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has authority under its charter to engage outside consultants to assist in the performance of its duties and responsibilities. Our Compensation Committee utilizes the services of ClearBridge Compensation Group LLC (the “independent compensation consultant”), an independent compensation consultant, to assist in determining whether the elements of our executive compensation program are reasonable and consistent with our objectives.

The independent compensation consultant collaborates with independent legal counsel and reports directly to the Compensation Committee and, at the request of the Compensation Committee, the independent compensation consultant meets with members of management from time to time for the purpose of gathering information on management proposals and recommendations to be presented to the Compensation Committee.

The services provided by the independent compensation consultant to the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 included:

•Attending all Compensation Committee meetings;

•Providing information, research, and analysis pertaining to our executive compensation program for the 2025 fiscal year;

•Regularly updating the Compensation Committee on market trends, changing practices and legislation pertaining to compensation;

•Assisting the Compensation Committee in making pay determinations for the executive officers;

•Assisting the Compensation Committee in connection with the entry into new employment agreements with the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and the Senior Vice President, Head of Legal;

•Advising on the design of the executive compensation program and the reasonableness of individual compensation targets and awards and executive perquisites;

•Conducting a compensation risk assessment;

•Preparing tally sheets for the Compensation Committee’s review, setting forth all components of compensation payable, and the benefits accruing, to the NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, including all cash compensation, benefits, perquisites and the current value of outstanding equity-based awards;

•Providing advice and recommendations that incorporated both market data and Company-specific factors; and

•Assisting the Compensation Committee in connection with its periodic review of non-employee director compensation.

During the 2025 fiscal year, the independent compensation consultant provided no services to the Company other than those provided to the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee charter requires the Compensation Committee to consider the NYSE independence factors before receiving advice from an advisor, despite the fact that such independence rules are not applicable to controlled companies. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Compensation Committee concluded that the independent compensation consultant satisfies the independence requirements of the NYSE rules. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that the independent compensation consultant’s work did not raise any conflicts of interest during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. In reaching this conclusion, the Compensation Committee considered the same rules regarding advisor independence.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Compensation

The Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation of the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and, following discussions with the independent compensation consultant, establishes his compensation. Senior management of the Company assists the Compensation Committee and the independent compensation consultant as described in this Compensation Discussion & Analysis, and provides to the Compensation Committee, either directly or through the independent compensation consultant, management’s recommendations on the compensation for executive officers other than the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Recommendations from management are based on a comprehensive review and analysis of the performance of the Company and its business against pre-determined goals, strategies and metrics. Other members of management provide support to the Compensation Committee as needed. Based upon a review of performance and historical compensation, recommendations and information from members of management, and recommendations and discussions with the independent compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee determines and approves compensation for the executive officers.

Performance Objectives

As described below under “— Elements of Our Compensation Program,” performance-based incentive compensation is an important element of the Company’s executive compensation program.

The Company considers these performance objectives to be key measures of the Company’s operating performance. As such, our Compensation Committee has incorporated AOI and revenues in our long-term incentive performance awards (i.e., performance stock units) and AOI in our annual incentive awards.

The Company defines AOI, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (iii) restructuring charges or credits, (iv) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses, (v) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions, and (vi) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDC Plan”). Because it is based upon operating income (loss), AOI (loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items.

The performance measures used for purposes of annual incentives or long-term awards may contemplate certain potential future adjustments and exclusions.

Tally Sheets

The Compensation Committee has reviewed tally sheets prepared by the independent compensation consultant, setting forth all components of compensation payable, and the benefits accruing, to the NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 who were executive officers as of June 30, 2025, including all cash compensation, benefits, perquisites and the current value of outstanding equity-based awards. The tally sheets also set forth potential payouts to the NEOs upon various termination scenarios.

Determining Compensation Levels; Benchmarking

As part of the Compensation Committee’s review of total compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the independent compensation consultant assisted the Compensation Committee in: (1) determining if a peer group should be used for comparative purposes, (2) assessing executive compensation in light of internal and external considerations and (3) reviewing the Company’s equity and cash-based executive incentive programs, taking into account evolving market trends. The Compensation Committee, in consultation with the independent compensation consultant, considered market data (both industry-specific and general company data based on multiple broad-based compensation surveys) in order to appropriately assess compensation levels.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the independent compensation consultant, determined not to utilize a peer group or specific target positioning in determining compensation given the limited number of comparable publicly-traded companies.

In addition to the market data documented above, the Compensation Committee considered internal information (job responsibility, experience, parity among executive officers, contractual commitments, attraction and retention of talent and historical compensation) to determine compensation.

ELEMENTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Our executive compensation philosophy is reflected in the principal elements of our executive compensation program, each of which is important to the Company’s goal of attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding highly-qualified executive officers. The compensation program included the following key elements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025: base salary, annual cash incentives, long-term incentives, retirement, health and welfare and other benefits, which are generally provided to all other eligible employees, and additional executive officer benefits, including post-termination compensation under certain circumstances and certain perquisites, each as described below.

A significant percentage of total direct compensation is allocated to incentive compensation in accordance with the Compensation Committee’s philosophy. The Compensation Committee reviews historical compensation, other information provided by the independent compensation consultant and other factors, such as experience, performance, length of service and contractual commitments, to determine the appropriate level and mix of compensation for executive officers. The allocation between cash and equity-based compensation and between short-term and long-term compensation is designed to provide a variety of fixed and at-risk compensation that is related to the achievement of the Company’s short-term and long-term objectives.

Mr. Dolan is also employed by MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment as each company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and receives separate compensation from each company with respect to such employment. The compensation program and philosophies discussed in this proxy statement reflect only compensation that is paid by the Company for services rendered to the Company, except as otherwise noted. While the Compensation Committee is aware that Mr. Dolan also receives compensation for services rendered to MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, its compensation decisions are based on its independent assessment and application of the compensation goals and objectives of the Company. For more information regarding the compensation of Mr. Dolan by MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, see MSG Entertainment’s and Sphere Entertainment’s 2025 Definitive Proxy Statements, respectively.

Mr. Granville-Smith is employed by Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks and receives separate compensation from each company with respect to such employment. The compensation program and philosophies discussed in this proxy statement reflect only compensation that is paid by the Company for services rendered to the Company, except as otherwise noted. While the Compensation Committee is aware that Mr. Granville-Smith also receives compensation for services rendered to Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks, its compensation decisions are based on its independent assessment and application of the compensation goals and objectives of the Company. For more information regarding the compensation of Mr. Granville-Smith by Sphere Entertainment, see Sphere Entertainment’s 2025 Definitive Proxy Statement.

Base Salaries

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for setting the base salaries of the executive officers, which are intended to compensate them for the day-to-day services that they perform for the Company. Base salaries for these executive officers have been set at levels that are intended to reflect the competitive marketplace in attracting and retaining quality executive officers. The employment agreement between the Company and each NEO contains a minimum base salary level. For information regarding these base salary levels, please see “Executive Compensation Tables — Employment Agreements” below. The Compensation Committee reviews the salaries of the executive officers at least annually. The Compensation Committee may adjust base salaries

for executive officers over time, based on their performance and experience and in accordance with the terms of their employment agreements.

The base salaries for each of Messrs. Dolan, Lesane and Granville-Smith, Ms. Mink and Mr. Warner as of the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 were as follows: $1,600,000, $1,000,000, $800,000, $1,000,000 and $500,000. Ms. Mink’s annual base salary increased from $900,000 to $1,000,000 effective January 1, 2025, which is reflected in the actual base salary earned by Ms. Mink during the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee generally determined salaries for the NEOs after evaluation of Company and individual performance, market pay levels, the range of increases generally provided to the Company’s employees and, to the extent appropriate, management’s recommendations. See footnote 1 to “Executive Compensation Tables — Summary Compensation Table” for additional information regarding the base salaries, and actual amounts earned by the NEOs, during the Company’s fiscal year.

Annual Cash Incentives

Overview

Annual cash incentives earned for performance in the 2025 fiscal year were determined based on performance against goals established by the Compensation Committee under the Management Performance Incentive Plan (“MPIP”). MPIP is an annual incentive plan under which eligible members of management, including the NEOs, were provided an opportunity to earn an annual cash award. The initial funding level of the bonus pool was solely based on financial performance versus a pre-determined AOI target for the 2025 fiscal year, which initial funding level could be modified based on performance versus pre-determined and measurable key strategic objectives, resulting in a payout that falls within the range of 0% to 200% of target.

This annual incentive was designed to link executive compensation directly to the Company’s financial performance and performance on key strategic initiatives by providing incentives and rewards based upon business performance during the applicable fiscal year.

As discussed in “Performance Targets & Achievement Levels” below, as a result of the level of achievement of the AOI target, after modification based on achievement relative to the pre-determined strategic objectives discussed below, the final payout level of the annual cash incentives was calculated at 95.0% of the target level.

Target Award Opportunities

Each employee eligible for an annual incentive award was assigned a target award equal to a percentage of that employee’s base salary as of the conclusion of the applicable fiscal year.

Target annual incentive opportunities were based upon the applicable employee’s position, grade level, responsibilities and historical and expected future contributions to the Company. In addition, each employment agreement between the Company and each of the NEOs contains a minimum target annual incentive award level. The Compensation Committee reviews the target annual incentive award levels of the NEOs at least annually, subject to the minimum target annual incentive award level set forth in their employment agreements. See “Executive Compensation Tables — Employment Agreements” below. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion and subject to the terms of employment agreements, may revise target annual incentive award levels for the NEOs.

(1)With respect to Mr. Warner, this table reflects the prorated annual incentive award earned during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 for eight months of the fiscal year, in accordance with his employment agreement. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Warner was also provided a one-time cash award in the amount of $500,000, which was intended to compensate him for forfeited compensation from his previous employer and which is not included in the table above. Mr. Warner would have been required to repay the gross amount (less Social Security and Medicare deductions) of the one-time cash award in the event (i) he terminated his employment (other than for “good reason” or due to his death or disability) or (ii) the Company terminated his employment for “cause,” in each case within one year following the commencement of his employment with the Company.

Performance Targets & Achievement Levels

Financial Component: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the MPIP financial performance objective consisted of an AOI target from the Board-approved budget. The initial MPIP funding pool was determined after assessing financial performance against the pre-determined AOI target, with the initial MPIP funding pool under this component ranging from 0 to 200% of target.

Based on the performance against the pre-determined AOI target, the calculated result of the financial component of the MPIP, giving effect to the payout provisions of the MPIP, was 0.0% of target. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, AOI was negatively impacted by certain items that developed after the Company set its budget and which represented investments in the future of the Company, including but not limited to: (i) increased player compensation and luxury tax expense resulting from strategic decisions to increase investment in the Knicks’ roster, (ii) contract termination costs related to Knicks’ and Rangers’ head coaches and (iii) amendments to the Company’s media rights agreements with MSG Networks for continued favorable local distribution of Knicks and Rangers games. Excluding the impact of these items, business operations financial results would have been relatively in-line with target level performance (i.e., budget).

The MPIP provides the Compensation Committee with flexibility to make equitable adjustments to the structure and payouts that it deems appropriate to reflect the best interests of the business, including based on recommendations from management. No such adjustments were made for the fiscal year 2025 MPIP.

Strategic Modifier: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the MPIP also included a strategic modifier component that could increase or decrease the initial AOI-funded MPIP pool based on performance against relevant strategic goals, resulting in a payout that falls within a range of 0% to 200% of target. These goals, and associated tactics and metrics, were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the year.

Table of Contents

Goal Setting Process: In the 2025 fiscal year, numerous specific goals that were aligned with the Company’s broad strategic initiatives were established for the Company. Discrete tactics and metrics were enumerated to measure year-end achievement of these goals. Taking into account performance with respect to each goal and underlying strategies and metrics, management could propose a modification to the initial AOI-funded pool. The Compensation Committee would then assess management’s recommended modification relative to the level of achievement against strategic goals and make an independent determination as to the appropriate modifier (if any).

2025 Fiscal Year Goals & Achievement: The strategic modifier for payouts was determined based on the extent to which goals, strategies and measurable metrics were achieved in the fiscal year.

In the 2025 fiscal year, the Company’s strategic modifier focused on numerous core strategies aimed at:

•Driving long-term revenue growth by strengthening customer interactions and sentiment and improved in-arena experience; and

•Ensuring long-term growth of AOI through developing and improving processes to drive efficiency, cost management and future initiatives.

The strategic goals were supported by 19 individual measurable metrics. Achievement of metrics for fiscal year 2025 included, but were not limited to:

•Driving long-term revenue growth by strengthening customer interactions and sentiment and improved in-arena experience:

◦Drove strong renewal rates in fiscal year 2025 for the 2025-26 seasons, exceeding season ticket renewal rate targets for the Knicks and the Rangers on a combined basis;

◦Launched several unique merchandise offerings, including exclusive collaborations with partners such as New York or Nowhere and Siegelman Stable, which helped achieve new in-arena single-game merchandise sales records for the Knicks during the Eastern Conference Finals; and

◦Welcomed several new marketing partners, including Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism and its ‘Experience Abu Dhabi’ brand as the Official Patch Partner of the Knicks, and completed multi-year renewals with Verizon, Pepsi and Benjamin Moore, helping to drive growth in sponsorship and signage revenues in fiscal year 2025.

•Ensuring long-term growth of AOI through developing and improving processes to drive efficiency, cost management and future initiatives:

◦Grew the ‘fan first’ program, which is aimed at leveraging innovative technologies to get tickets directly into the hands of our fans, and helped increase both teams’ customer databases;

◦Prepared for the Rangers’ Centennial season celebration, which culminated in the unveiling of the Rangers’ Centennial Year logo, with opportunities for new merchandise offerings, and the announcement that the organization’s 100th year will be celebrated throughout the entirety of the 2025-26 regular season; and

◦Implemented new technology and reporting functionalities to drive efficiency within the organization.

Annual Cash Incentive Payout: In recognition of performance versus the pre-determined strategic goals, the Compensation Committee, considering recommendations from management and in consultation with the independent compensation consultant, determined to modify the payout level of the annual cash incentives to 95.0% of the target level for the 2025 fiscal year.

Long-Term Incentives

Long-term incentives represent a substantial portion of our executive officers’ annual total direct compensation. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, standard long-term incentives were comprised of performance stock units and restricted stock units.

The Compensation Committee believes this equity mix:

•Establishes strong alignment between executive officers and the interests of the Company’s stockholders;

•Provides meaningful incentive to drive actions that will improve the Company’s long-term stockholder value; and

•Supports the Company’s objectives of attracting and retaining the best executive officer talent.

The following table summarizes our 2025 fiscal year standard annual long-term incentive awards to our NEOs:

Element			Weighting			Summary
Performance Stock Units			50%			ü			Performance is measured by revenues and AOI, which are equally weighted and considered key value drivers of our business
						ü			Financial performance targets are pre-determined by the Compensation Committee early in the three-year performance period and based on the Company’s long-range plan (as reviewed by the Board) to incentivize strong execution of our financial strategy and long-term financial goals
						ü			Cliff-vest after three years based on financial performance targets measured in the final year of the three-year period
Restricted Stock Units			50%			ü			Stock-based award establishes direct alignment with our stock price performance and stockholder interests
						ü			Vest ratably over three years

Additional information regarding long-term incentive awards granted to NEOs during the 2025 fiscal year is set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” and the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table under “Executive Compensation Tables” below.

Performance Stock Units

Performance stock units are intended to align our executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders, with a focus on long-term financial results. Under our executive compensation program for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, performance stock units were granted to executive officers and certain other members of management pursuant to the 2015 Employee Stock Plan, as amended (the “Employee Stock Plan”).

2025 Fiscal Year Grants

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the following awards of performance stock units to the NEOs, which are for the 2025-2027 fiscal year performance period:

Table of Contents

Name						Performance Stock Units (at target)						Grant Date Fair Value(1)
James L. Dolan						19,464						$4,048,123
Jamaal T. Lesane						3,744						$778,677
David Granville-Smith						4,243						$882,459
Victoria M. Mink(2)						3,389						$697,591
Bryan Warner(3)						874						$165,684

___________________

(1)The grant date fair value listed above is calculated in accordance with Topic 718. The Company determines the number of performance stock units to grant by dividing the target grant value by the 20-trading day average ending on the day before the date of grant.

(2)This amount includes 394 units ($74,691) granted in April 2025 to reflect the increased target long-term incentive opportunity for fiscal year 2025 (on a pro rata basis) as a result of Ms. Mink’s new employment agreement effective January 2025.

(3)This amount was granted in April 2025 to reflect the target long-term incentive opportunity under Mr. Warner’s employment agreement (on a pro rata basis).

Standard performance stock units are structured to be settled upon the later of September 15th following a three-year period and the date of certification of achievement against pre-determined performance goals measured in the final year of such three-year period.

Target Setting

For the 2025 fiscal year performance stock units granted for the 2025-2027 fiscal year period (the “2025 Performance Stock Units”), the Compensation Committee selected revenues and AOI as the two financial metrics to be measured in the final fiscal year of the three-year vesting period (i.e., performance is based on 2027 fiscal year financials). The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure target goals are ambitious, requiring meaningful growth over the performance period, while threshold goals are expected to be achievable. Goals were set at the beginning of the 2025 fiscal year, based on the Company’s long-range strategic plan, which is subject to review by the Board in connection with its approval of the annual budget.

The Company’s long-range strategic plan is confidential, and disclosure of those targets could provide information that could lead to competitive harm, and for this reason the performance stock unit financial performance targets are not disclosed. The Company intends to disclose the revenues and AOI payout results as a percentage of target as well as the resulting payout for the 2025 Performance Stock Units as a percentage of target measured in the last year of the performance period.

Financial Metrics (Weighting)			Threshold Performance			Maximum Performance
Revenues (50%)			85% of target goal			115% of target goal
AOI (50%)			75% of target goal			125% of target goal

The performance stock unit payout opportunity ranges from 0 to 110% of target, based on performance and subject to continued employment and employment agreement and award agreement terms (as applicable). At the threshold performance level, the award would vest at 90% of the target performance stock units, and at or above the maximum performance level, the award would vest at 110% of the target performance stock units. If the Company exceeds threshold levels but does not achieve the targeted rates, or if the Company achieves or exceeds one target but not both, the award provides for partial payments. No performance stock units would vest if the Company fails to achieve both threshold levels of performance.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units serve to align executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders and promote the retention of employees, including the NEOs.

The Compensation Committee approved the following awards of restricted stock units to the NEOs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock Plan:

Name						Restricted Stock Units						Grant Date Fair Value(1)
James L. Dolan						19,464						$4,048,123
Jamaal T. Lesane						3,744						$778,677
David Granville-Smith						4,243						$882,459
Victoria M. Mink(2)						3,389						$697,591
Bryan Warner(3)						874						$165,684

___________________

(1)The grant date fair value listed above is calculated in accordance with Topic 718. The Company determines the number of restricted stock units to grant by dividing the target grant value by the 20-trading day average ending on the day before the date of grant.

(2)This amount includes 394 units ($74,691) granted in April 2025 to reflect the increased target long-term incentive opportunity for fiscal year 2025 (on a pro rata basis) as a result of Ms. Mink’s new employment agreement effective January 2025.

(3)This amount was granted in April 2025 to reflect the target long-term incentive opportunity under Mr. Warner’s employment agreement (on a pro rata basis).

Standard restricted stock units vest ratably over three years on September 15th of each year following the year of grant, subject to continued employment and employment agreement and award agreement terms (as applicable). Mid-year grants in respect of an out-of-cycle promotion, increase in compensation or new-hire typically vest on the same timeframe as standard restricted stock units granted that fiscal year, subject to continued employment and employment agreement terms (as applicable).

2023 Fiscal Year Performance Stock Unit Awards

The performance stock units granted to NEOs in the 2023 fiscal year (collectively, the “2023 Performance Stock Units”) were subject to revenues and AOI performance objectives, which were each weighted at 50% over a performance period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 (the third year of the three-year performance award). The target or level of achievement, where applicable, for each performance objective was adjusted in accordance with the terms of the awards, which adjustments were approved by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant.

In August 2025, the Compensation Committee certified the Company’s financial performance against previously determined revenues and AOI determined as a percentage of target performance at 103.4% and 110.0%, respectively, with a resulting payout for the 2023 Performance Stock Units calculated at 106.7% of target.

Compensation Committee Policies Related to Certain Compensation Matters

The Compensation Committee’s charter sets forth certain provisions relating to the consideration and granting of annual equity-based awards and other compensation.

The Compensation Committee is required to establish a schedule for the consideration and granting of annual equity-based and other compensation, and the meeting to approve any annual equity-based awards and incentive compensation awards shall promptly follow the announcement of the Company’s year-end earnings (except as the Compensation Committee may otherwise agree). The Compensation Committee also has the authority in its discretion to approve equity-based awards at other times during the year for other reasons, including to provide compensation to new employees. The Compensation Committee does not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing of the grant of equity-based awards, including options. The timing of the release of material non-public information is not based on affecting the value of executive compensation.

In addition, the Compensation Committee’s charter sets forth certain procedural matters relating to the granting of stock options.

Insider Trading Policy

We have an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale and other disposition of our securities by the Company itself and our employees, directors and consultants. We believe our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and the exchange listing standards applicable to us. Among other things, our insider trading policy prohibits our employees, directors and consultants from trading in our securities while in possession of material non-public information. The foregoing summary of our insider trading policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of our insider trading policy, a copy of which can be found as an exhibit to our 2025 Form 10-K.

Hedging and Pledging Policies

The Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits all directors, consultants and employees (including NEOs), and all members of their immediate families and any individual who is materially dependent upon them for financial support who resides in the same household, from directly or indirectly (i) engaging in short sales, short sales against the box or other “hedging” transactions unless otherwise permitted by the Company and (ii) placing securities in margin accounts or otherwise pledging Company securities.

Clawback Policy

The Company’s Clawback Policy, which was established in accordance with the listing requirement of the NYSE, provides for the recovery or “clawback” of certain erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. The policy was effective December 1, 2023 and applies to incentive-based compensation received by current and former executive officers of the Company during the three fiscal years preceding an accounting restatement and after the effective date of the NYSE’s listing requirement, October 2, 2023.

Vesting and Holding Requirements

Under our executive compensation program for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, annual restricted stock unit awards vest ratably over three years and annual performance stock unit awards cliff-vest after three years to the extent that pre-determined financial performance targets measured in the last year of the three-year period are achieved, in each case, so long as the recipient is continuously employed by the Company, MSG Entertainment or Sphere Entertainment or any of their respective subsidiaries until the applicable vesting date (and subject to the performance conditions described above and any applicable terms of the award agreements and their employment agreement (as applicable), which may supersede any continued employment obligations). With respect to our non-employee directors, and as discussed above under “Director Compensation,” compensation includes annual awards of restricted stock units. Pursuant to the award agreements, directors’ restricted stock

53

Table of Contents

units are settled in shares of Class A Common Stock (or, in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, cash) on the first business day following 90 days after the director incurs a separation from service (other than in the event of a director’s death, where the restricted stock units are settled immediately). One effect of the three-year cliff vesting and three-year ratable vesting, as the case may be (with respect to our NEOs and eligible employees), and the holding requirements (with respect to our non-employee directors), is to require each of our non-employee directors, NEOs and eligible employees to maintain significant holdings of Company securities at all times.

BENEFITS

Benefits offered to executive officers generally provide for retirement income and serve as a safety net against hardships that can arise from illness, disability or death. The executive officers are generally eligible to participate in the same health and welfare benefit plans made available to the other benefits-eligible employees of the Company, including, for example, medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Dolan does not participate in certain Company benefit plans, including the Company’s medical, dental and vision plans, as he receives such benefits from MSG Entertainment.

Defined Benefit Plans

Prior to the SPHR Distribution, the Company sponsored a cash balance pension plan (the “MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan”). The MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan is currently sponsored by MSG Entertainment. The MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan is, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan for participating employees, including certain of our executive officers. All benefits under the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan are provided by MSG Entertainment.

The Company sponsors the MSG Sports, LLC Excess Cash Balance Plan (the “Excess Cash Balance Plan”), a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, under which the Company provides additional benefits to certain employees, including executive officers, who are restricted by the applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) annual compensation limitation under the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan. The MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan was frozen to new participants and future benefit accruals effective as of December 31, 2015, but accrued benefits under the plan continue to earn interest credits. The Excess Cash Balance Plan is frozen to new participants and future benefit accruals.

More information regarding the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan and the Excess Cash Balance Plan is provided in the Pension Benefits table under “Executive Compensation Tables” below.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company contributes as a participating employer to the Madison Square Garden 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”), which is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan, for participating employees, including executive officers, sponsored by MSG Entertainment. Under the Savings Plan, participants may contribute into their plan accounts a percentage of their eligible pay on a pre-tax or Roth 401(k) after-tax basis as well as a percentage of their eligible pay on an after-tax basis. The Savings Plan provides (a) fully-vested matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 4% of eligible pay contributed on a pre-tax or Roth 401(k) after-tax basis by participating employees and (b) a discretionary non-elective contribution by the applicable employer. In the event of a change in employment among the Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment or any of their respective subsidiaries, the cost of the matching contribution or any discretionary contribution made to such individual during the applicable calendar year is equitably shared among the applicable companies to reflect the portion of the year such individual was employed by such company.

In addition, the Company offers the MSG Sports, LLC Excess Savings Plan (the “Excess Savings Plan”), a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, to certain employees, including executive officers, whose contributions to the Savings Plan are restricted by the applicable IRS annual compensation limitation and/or the

54

Table of Contents

pre-tax income deferral limitation. More information regarding the Excess Savings Plan is provided in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table under “Executive Compensation Tables” below.

The cost to the Company of the matching and discretionary contributions made to the Savings Plan in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 in respect of the NEOs under the Savings Plan and the Excess Savings Plan are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under “Executive Compensation Tables” below.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company sponsors the EDC Plan, under which participating employees, including executive officers, may make elective base salary or bonus deferral contributions. Participants may make individual investment elections that will determine the rate of return on their deferral amounts under the EDC Plan. The EDC Plan does not provide any above-market returns or preferential earnings to participants, and the participants’ deferrals and their earnings are always 100% vested. The EDC Plan does not provide for any Company contributions. Participants may elect at the time they make their deferral elections to receive their distribution either as a lump sum payment or in substantially equal annual installments over a period of up to five years. More information regarding the EDC Plan is provided in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table under “Executive Compensation Tables” below.

MSG Cares Charitable Matching Gift Program

Our employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in the MSG Cares Charitable Matching Gifts Program. Under this program, the Company matches charitable contributions made by our employees, including the NEOs, to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations of the employee’s choice in an aggregate amount of up to $1,000 per employee or $5,000 per employee for members of management (including certain of our NEOs) for each fiscal year.

PERQUISITES

The Company provides certain perquisites to executive officers as described below. Additional information concerning perquisites received by each of the NEOs is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under “Executive Compensation Tables” below. The perquisites described below are provided pursuant to arrangements between the Company and MSG Entertainment.

Car and Driver

Mr. Dolan has regular access to a car and driver which he is permitted to use for personal use in addition to business purposes, the costs of which are shared equally by the Company, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment. In addition, certain other executive officers and members of management have had access to cars and drivers on a limited basis for personal use. To the extent employees used a car and driver for personal use without reimbursement to the Company, those employees were imputed compensation for tax purposes.

Aircraft Arrangements

During fiscal year 2025, the Company leased certain aircraft and also had access to certain aircraft through time sharing arrangements with a subsidiary of MSG Entertainment. Mr. Dolan is permitted to use such aircraft for personal use and is not required to reimburse the Company for such use. Additionally, Mr. Dolan has access to helicopter travel, including for personal travel. Helicopter use has primarily been for commutation, and he is not required to reimburse the Company for such use.

Such costs of personal aircraft and helicopter use are shared equally by the Company, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment. See “Transactions with Related Parties — Aircraft Arrangements.”

Table of Contents

Executive Security

Mr. Dolan participates in MSG Entertainment’s executive security program, including services related to cybersecurity and connectivity. Such costs are shared equally by the Company, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment. See “Transactions with Related Parties — Relationship Between Us, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks.” In addition, certain other executive officers may participate in MSG Entertainment’s executive security program, including services related to cybersecurity and connectivity, on a limited basis. Because certain of these costs can be viewed as conveying personal benefits to the Company’s executive officers, they are reported as perquisites.

Executive Wellness Program

The Company sponsors an executive wellness program (the “Wellness Program”), pursuant to which certain employees, including certain of our NEOs, may elect to participate and receive certain health and wellness benefits. The cost of participating in the Wellness Program is considered a perquisite for any executive officers who elect to participate.

Other

From time to time certain employees, including the NEOs (and their guests), have access at no cost to tickets to Company events and events at The Garden (which is operated by MSG Entertainment), and may also purchase tickets to such events at face value. Attendance at such events is integrally and directly related to the performance of the employees’ duties, and, as such, we do not deem the receipt of such tickets to be perquisites. In addition, certain employees, including NEOs (and their guests), may have access at no cost to tickets to events at venues operated by MSG Entertainment (other than The Garden) or Sphere Entertainment, which are deemed to be perquisites, and may also purchase tickets to such events at face value. Tickets provided to employees, including the NEOs, cannot be resold.

POST-TERMINATION COMPENSATION

We believe that post-termination benefits are integral to the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers.

Under certain circumstances, payments or other benefits may be provided to employees upon the termination of their employment with the Company. These may include payments or other benefits upon a termination by the Company without cause, termination by the employee for good reason, other voluntary termination by the employee, retirement, death, disability or termination following a change in control of the Company or following a going private transaction. With respect to the NEOs, the amounts and terms of such payments and other benefits (including the definition of “cause” and “good reason”) are governed by each NEO’s employment agreement and any applicable award agreements. Post-termination compensation is discussed in greater detail in “Executive Compensation Tables — Employment Agreements” and “— Termination and Severance” below.

The Company maintains several benefit plans for our executive officers. The material terms and conditions are discussed below.

MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan

Prior to the SPHR Distribution, the Company sponsored the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan. The MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan is currently sponsored by MSG Entertainment. The MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan for participating employees, including certain executive officers. All benefits under the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan are provided by MSG Entertainment. The MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan was frozen to future benefit accruals effective as of December 31, 2015 (though accrued benefits continue to earn interest credits). Under the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan, a notional account is maintained for each participant, which consists of (i) annual allocations made by the Company as of the end of each year on behalf of each participant who has completed 800 hours of service during the year that range from 3% to 9% of the participant’s compensation, based on the participant’s age and (ii) monthly interest credits based on the average of the annual rate of interest on the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds for the months of September, October and November of the prior year. Compensation includes all direct cash compensation received while a participant as part of the participant’s primary compensation structure (excluding bonuses, fringe benefits, and other compensation that is not received on a regular basis), and before deductions for elective deferrals, subject to applicable IRS limits.

A participant’s interest in the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan is subject to vesting limitations for the first three years of employment. A participant’s account also vests in full upon his or her termination due to death, disability or retirement after attaining age 65. Upon retirement or other termination of employment with the Company, the participant may elect a distribution of the vested portion of the cash balance account. Any amounts remaining in the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan will continue to be credited with interest until the account is paid. The normal form of benefit payment for an unmarried participant is a single life annuity and the normal form of benefit payment for a married participant is a 50% joint and survivor annuity. The participant, with spousal consent if applicable, can waive the normal form and elect a single life annuity or a lump sum.

Excess Cash Balance Plan

The Excess Cash Balance Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to provide eligible participants with a portion of their overall benefit that they would accrue under the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan but for Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) limits on the amount of compensation (as defined in the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan) that can be taken into account in determining benefits under tax-qualified plans. The Excess Cash Balance Plan was frozen to future benefit accruals effective as of December 31, 2015 (though accrued benefits continue to earn interest credits). The Company maintains a notional excess cash balance account for each eligible participant and, for each calendar year, credits these accounts with the portion of the allocation that could not be made on his or her behalf under the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan due to the compensation limitation. In addition, the Company credits each notional excess cash balance account monthly with interest at the same rate used under the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan. A participant vests in the excess cash balance account according to the same schedule in the MSGE Cash Balance Pension Plan. The excess cash balance account, to the extent vested, is paid in a lump sum to the participant as soon as practicable following his or her retirement or other termination of employment with the Company, other than a transfer to MSG Entertainment or Sphere Entertainment.

Savings Plan

Under the Savings Plan, participating employees, including the NEOs, may contribute into their plan accounts a percentage of their eligible pay on a pre-tax or Roth 401(k) after-tax basis as well as a percentage of their eligible pay on an after-tax basis. The Savings Plan provides (a) matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 4% of eligible pay contributed on a pre-tax or Roth 401(k) after tax-basis by participating employees and (b) a discretionary non-elective contribution by the applicable employer. In the event of a change in employment among the Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment or any of their respective subsidiaries, the cost of the matching contribution or any discretionary contribution made to such individual during the applicable calendar year is equitably shared among the applicable companies to reflect the portion of the year such individual was employed by such company.

Excess Savings Plan

The Excess Savings Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan that operates in conjunction with the Savings Plan. An employee is eligible to participate in the Excess Plan for a calendar year if his or her compensation (as defined in the Savings Plan) in the preceding year exceeded (or would have exceeded, if the employee had been employed for the entire year) the IRS limit on the amount of compensation that can be taken into account in determining contributions under tax-qualified retirement plans ($350,000 in calendar year 2025) and he or she makes an election to participate prior to the beginning of the year. An eligible employee whose contributions to the Savings Plan are limited as a result of this compensation limit or as a result of reaching the maximum 401(k) deferral limit ($23,500 for calendar year 2025) can continue to make contributions under the Excess Savings Plan of up to 4% of his or her eligible pay. In addition, the Company provides (a) matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 4% of eligible pay contributed by participating employees and (b) a discretionary non-elective contribution by the Company. Account balances under the Excess Savings Plan are credited monthly with the rate of return earned determined by reference to a deemed investment fund offered as an investment alternative under the Savings Plan. Distributions of vested benefits are made in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the participant’s termination of employment with the Company.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

Under the EDC Plan, participating employees, including the NEOs, may make elective base salary or bonus deferral contributions. Participants may make individual investment elections that will determine the rate of return on their deferral amounts under the EDC Plan. The EDC Plan does not provide any above-market returns or preferential earnings to participants, and the participants’ deferrals and their earnings are always 100% vested. The EDC Plan does not provide for any Company contributions. Participants may elect at the time they make their deferral elections to receive their distribution either as a lump sum payment or in substantially equal annual installments over a period of up to five years.

This section describes the payments that would be received by our NEOs who were employed by the Company as of June 30, 2025 upon various terminations of employment scenarios. The information under “Separation from the Company” assumes that each NEO was employed by the Company under his or her applicable employment agreement, and his or her employment terminated as of June 30, 2025. This information is presented to illustrate the payments such NEOs would have received from the Company under the various termination scenarios.

Separation from the Company

Payments may be made to NEOs upon the termination of their employment with the Company depending upon the circumstances of their termination, which include termination by the Company without cause, termination by the Company with cause, termination by the NEO for good reason, other voluntary termination by the NEO, retirement, death, disability, or termination following a change in control of the Company or following a going private transaction. Certain of these circumstances are addressed in the employment agreement between the Company and each NEO. For a description of termination provisions in the employment agreements with our NEOs, please see “— Employment Agreements” above. In addition, award agreements for long-term incentives also address some of these circumstances.

Award Agreement Terms in the Event of a Change in Control or Going Private Transaction

The award agreements governing the restricted stock units of the Company provide that upon a change in control or going private transaction of the Company, the applicable NEO will be entitled to either (in the successor entity’s discretion) (a) cash equal to the unvested restricted stock units multiplied by the per share price paid in the change in control or going private transaction, or (b) only if the successor entity is a publicly-traded company, a replacement restricted stock unit award from the successor entity with the same terms. Any such cash award as provided in clause (a) above would be payable, and any replacement restricted stock unit award as provided in clause (b) above would vest, upon the earliest of (i) the date the restricted stock units were originally scheduled to vest so long as the applicable NEO remains continuously employed by the Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment or any of their respective subsidiaries and if such entities remain affiliates of the Company, (ii) death, (iii) a termination without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the applicable award agreement) from the Company, a subsidiary or the successor entity, or (iv) only if the successor entity elects clause (b) above, upon a resignation without “good reason” from the Company, a subsidiary or the successor entity that is at least six months, but no more than nine months, following the change in control or going private transaction.

The award agreements governing the performance stock units of the Company provide that upon a change in control or going private transaction of the Company, the unvested performance stock units will vest at the target level and be payable (i) upon a change in control, regardless of whether the applicable NEO’s employment is terminated, or (ii) following a going private transaction, upon the earlier of (x) July 1, 2025 (in the case of the fiscal year 2023 awards), July 1, 2026 (in the case of fiscal year 2024 awards) or July 1, 2027 (in the case of 2025 fiscal year awards) if the applicable NEO is employed by the Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment or any of their respective subsidiaries and if such entities remain affiliates of the Company, (y) death or (z) a termination without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the applicable award agreement) from the Company, a subsidiary or the successor entity.

Quantification of Termination and Severance

The following tables set forth a quantification of estimated severance and other benefits payable by the Company to the NEOs who were employed by the Company as of June 30, 2025 under various circumstances

Table of Contents

regarding the termination of their employment. In calculating these amounts, we have taken into consideration or otherwise assumed the following:

•Termination of employment occurred after the close of business on June 30, 2025.

•We have valued equity awards (other than stock options) using the closing market price of our Class A Common Stock of $208.95 on the NYSE on June 30, 2025.

•In the event of termination of employment, the payment of certain long-term incentive awards and other amounts may be delayed, depending upon the terms of each specific award agreement, the provisions of the applicable NEO’s employment agreement and the applicability of Code Section 409A. In quantifying aggregate termination payments, we have not taken into account the timing of the payments and we have not discounted the value of payments that would be made over time, except where otherwise disclosed.

•We have assumed that all performance objectives for outstanding performance-based long-term incentive awards are achieved (but not exceeded).

•We have assumed that on June 30, 2025, each NEO who was also simultaneously employed by MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment or both is simultaneously terminated from the Company, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, as applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, the following tables do not disclose any severance or other benefits payable to any NEO by MSG Entertainment or Sphere Entertainment as a result of their termination from the Company, MSG Entertainment or Sphere Entertainment, as applicable, including any entitlement to the vesting of equity issued by MSG Entertainment or Sphere Entertainment. For additional information regarding information payable to certain NEOs in connection with a simultaneous termination from the Company, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, as applicable, see MSG Entertainment’s and Sphere Entertainment’s 2025 Definitive Proxy Statements, as applicable, as well as such NEO’s employment agreement with MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, as applicable.

* The amounts in this table do not include any pension or other vested retirement benefits.

(1)The information in this table and the footnotes hereto describe amounts payable as a result of certain terminations of employment by the NEO or the Company following a change in control. The amounts payable as a result of termination of employment by the NEO or the Company following a going private transaction are generally equal to or less than the amounts payable as a result of termination of employment by the NEO or the Company following a change in control. Notwithstanding the amounts set forth in this table, if any payment otherwise due to any of the NEOs would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Code Section 4999, then the Company would instead pay to the applicable NEO either (a) the amounts set forth in this table, or (b) the maximum amount that could be paid to such NEO without the imposition of the excise tax, whichever results in a greater amount of after-tax proceeds to such NEO.

(2)The amounts in this table assume that the applicable NEO has either been terminated without “cause” or resigned for “good reason” following such a change in control or going private transaction in accordance with the terms of the applicable NEO’s employment agreement and award agreements applicable to the NEO’s stock awards. Any severance or bonus reflected in this table is provided as a result of the terms of the applicable NEO’s employment agreement and its terms related to termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason,” and such severance is not enhanced by the change of control or going private transaction. For additional information, see “— Award Agreement Terms in the Event of a Change in Control or Going Private Transaction” above.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the table below sets forth information about the relationship between compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and non-PEO NEOs and certain financial performance measures of the Company and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance. CAP represents an amount calculated in accordance with the SEC’s prescribed formula pursuant to Dodd-Frank and does not represent compensation actually paid to or earned by our NEOs in any year. Neither the Compensation Committee nor the Company directly used this information when making compensation-related decisions for any fiscal year. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with Company performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.

(a)Fair value calculations reflect a $7.00 per share dividend for awards granted prior to the dividend record date of October 17, 2022. Calculated value reflects cash dividends that are retained by the Company until the underlying shares vest, with such dividends paid (without interest) on the applicable delivery date to the extent that the shares vest.

(5)    Cumulative Total Shareholder Return is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

(6)    As permitted by SEC rules, the peer group referenced for purposes of “Peer Group Total Shareholder Return” is that of the Bloomberg Americas Entertainment Index, which is the industry index reported in our 2025 Form 10-K in accordance with Regulation S-K Item 201(e).

(7)    Reflects Net Income (Loss) as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the relevant fiscal year. Net Income (Loss) Attributable to MSGS Stockholders was $(22,438) in 2025, $58,771 in 2024, $47,793 in 2023, $51,131 in 2022, and $(13,954) in 2021.

(8)    Reflects adjusted operating income as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the relevant fiscal year. AOI is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure, please see Annex A. The AOI figures used to set performance targets and determine payouts within our MPIP and LTIP (as described in the “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” section of this proxy statement) may contemplate certain potential future adjustments or exclusions.

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in the “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” section of this proxy statement, our approach to executive compensation is designed to directly link pay to performance, recognize both corporate and individual performance, promote long-term stock ownership, attract, retain and motivate talented executives, and balance risk and reward while taking into consideration stakeholder feedback as well as market trends and practices. The most important performance measures used by the Company to link CAP to the Company’s named executive officers for the most recently completed fiscal year to the Company’s performance are:

•AOI;

•Revenues; and

•Company strategic objectives.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

While we utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with performance, all of those measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance Table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with CAP for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following graphic descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance Table.

*    The Compensation Committee determined compensation amounts in each year based on AOI as it was defined in the applicable year. The Company amended its definition of AOI during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 so that the impact of non-cash straight-line leasing revenue associated with the Arena License Agreements is no longer excluded. AOI presented in the Pay versus Performance Table for prior year periods has not been adjusted to reflect this amendment, and is therefore not comparable across periods. If the Company were to adjust AOI for the prior year periods to reflect this amendment, such amounts would be $114,906 in 2022 and $(40,835) in 2021.

CEO PAY RATIO

We are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the total compensation of Mr. James L. Dolan, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as of June 30, 2025, pursuant to the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(u)”). The pay ratio is calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules.

To identify our median employee, we first determined our employee population as of June 30, 2025, which consisted of employees located in the U.S. and internationally, representing all full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary employees employed by the Company on that date. Using information from our payroll records, we then measured each employee’s annual total compensation, consisting of base salary, overtime payments, short and long-term incentives, and sales incentives. For non-U.S. employees paid in local currency, the total annual compensation was translated to U.S. dollars using published exchange rates as of June 30, 2025, and total compensation for full-time and part-time employees who were employed for less than the full fiscal year (i.e., full-time and part-time employees who were hired during the course of the 2025 fiscal year) was annualized. The Company did not otherwise make any adjustments under Item 402(u).

Once we identified the median employee, we then determined that employee’s total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determined the total compensation of our NEOs for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table above.

Given the nature of our business, approximately half of our employee population consists of part-time, seasonal and temporary employees. These employees, by the nature of their limited hours worked during the year, have relatively low total compensation when compared to full-time employees. Item 402(u) does not permit annualized or full-time equivalent adjustments to the compensation of seasonal or temporary employees when identifying our median employee or calculating the pay ratio.

Using these guidelines, for the 2025 fiscal year our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer had an annual total compensation of $13,150,269 and the median-compensated employee, a part-time Knicks City Dancer had an annual total compensation of $62,055. The resulting ratio was 212:1.

Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices, the pay ratio provided above may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratio.

PROPOSAL 3 — NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

We are seeking stockholder approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed under the “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” and “Executive Compensation Tables” sections of this proxy statement. The Company’s stockholders previously approved, in an advisory vote held at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, holding an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs once every three years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has determined to hold an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs this year, in advance of 2027’s required vote. At the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 97.9% of votes cast (including approximately 92.1% of votes cast by our Class A Common Stock) voted “FOR” the “say-on-pay” resolution. In considering your vote, we invite you to review the Company’s compensation philosophy and program under “Compensation Discussion & Analysis.” As described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, we believe that the Company’s executive compensation program effectively aligns the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders by tying a significant portion of compensation to the Company’s performance and by providing a competitive level of compensation needed to recruit, retain and motivate talented executive officers critical to the Company’s long-term success. We are asking our stockholders to vote “FOR” the adoption of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (“MSGS”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of MSGS’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K in MSGS’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 annual meeting under the headings ‘Compensation Discussion & Analysis’ and ‘Executive Compensation Tables’.”

While we intend to carefully consider the voting results of this proposal, the vote is advisory in nature and therefore not binding on us, our Board or our Compensation Committee. Our Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions of all of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of this vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

Approval of this proposal requires the favorable vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class. In accordance with our Articles of Incorporation, holders of our Class A Common Stock will have one vote per share and holders of our Class B Common Stock will have ten votes per share.

The Board recommends that you vote FOR this proposal.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US, MSG ENTERTAINMENT, SPHERE ENTERTAINMENT AND AMC NETWORKS

The Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks are all under the control of the Dolan Family Group. The Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks have entered into the agreements described in this section. Certain of the agreements summarized in this section are included as exhibits to our 2025 Form 10-K, and the following summaries of those agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements as filed. Additional information concerning the arrangements between us and each of MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks is set forth in Note 17 to our financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Arrangements with Sphere Entertainment

In connection with the MSGS Distribution, the Company entered into several agreements with MSG Networks, including a Distribution Agreement and Tax Disaffiliation Agreement. Following the merger of MSG Networks with Sphere Entertainment in July 2021, MSG Networks became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere Entertainment. Accordingly, arrangements with MSG Networks are now effectively with Sphere Entertainment on a consolidated basis or have been terminated.

SPHR Distribution Agreement

On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Sphere Entertainment (the “SPHR Distribution Agreement”) in connection with the SPHR Distribution.

Under the SHPR Distribution Agreement, the Company and Sphere Entertainment provided each other with indemnities with respect to certain liabilities, and released each other from certain claims, in each case arising out of each company’s business and other matters related to the SPHR Distribution.

The SPHR Distribution Agreement also provides for access to records and information, cooperation in defending litigation, as well as methods of resolution for certain disputes.

SPHR Tax Disaffiliation Agreement

On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Tax Disaffiliation Agreement with Sphere Entertainment (the “SPHR Tax Disaffiliation Agreement”) that governs the Company’s and Sphere Entertainment’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes and tax benefits, the filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax matters.

The SPHR Tax Disaffiliation Agreement requires that neither Sphere Entertainment nor any of its subsidiaries will take, or fail to take, any action where such action, or failure to act, would be inconsistent with or preclude the SPHR Distribution from qualifying as a tax-free transaction to the Company and to its stockholders under Section 355 of the Code, or would otherwise cause holders of the Company’s stock receiving Sphere Entertainment’s stock in the SPHR Distribution to be taxed as a result of the SPHR Distribution and certain transactions undertaken in connection with the SPHR Distribution.

Moreover, each party must indemnify the other party and its subsidiaries, directors and officers for any taxes, resulting from action or failure to act, if such action or failure to act precludes the SPHR Distribution from qualifying as a tax-free transaction (including taxes imposed as a result of a violation of the restrictions set forth above).

Media Rights Agreements

The media rights agreements between the Company and MSG Networks covering the Knicks and the Rangers provide MSG Networks exclusive media rights to team games in their local markets. Each of the media rights agreements became effective July 2015 and was amended in June 2025 to reflect a reduction in the annual rights fee, an elimination of the annual rights fee escalator and a change to the contract expiration date to the end of the 2028-29 season, subject to a right of first refusal in favor of MSG Networks. The Company is also party to audio rights agreements that provide MSG Networks with exclusive audio-only distribution rights for Knicks and Rangers games in their local markets, which expire at the end of the respective 2025-26 seasons. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded media rights revenues (including audio rights) of $118.2 million for the Knicks and $39.2 million for the Rangers. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, the stated rights fee (including audio rights) is $103.8 million for the Knicks and $35.4 million for the Rangers. The rights fee is subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, including if the Company does not make available a minimum number of games in any year.

Arrangements with MSG Entertainment

MSGE Services Agreement

The Company is party to a services agreement with MSG Entertainment (the “MSGE Services Agreement”), pursuant to which MSG Entertainment provides certain corporate and other services to the Company, including with respect to such areas as information technology, executive support, accounts payable, payroll, tax, certain legal functions, human resources, insurance and risk management, government affairs, investor relations, corporate communications, benefit plan administration and reporting, and internal audit functions as well as certain marketing functions. The Company similarly provides certain services to MSG Entertainment, including certain legal and communications functions.

Similarly, each party providing services under the MSGE Services Agreement indemnifies the party receiving services for losses incurred by such party that arise out of or are otherwise in connection with the indemnifying party’s provision of services under the agreement if such losses result from the providing party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under the agreement.

Arena License Agreements

In connection with the SPHR Distribution, subsidiaries of the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with a subsidiary of MSG Entertainment that require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at the Garden. Under the Arena License Agreements, which each have a term of 35 years, the Knicks and the Rangers pay an annual license fee in connection with their respective use of The Garden. For each, the Arena License Agreement provides that the license fee for the first full contract year ended June 30, 2021 was to be approximately $22.5 million for the Knicks and approximately $16.7 million for the Rangers, and then for each subsequent year, the license fees are 103% of the license fees for the immediately preceding contract year. The teams are not required to pay the license fee during a period in which The Garden is unavailable for use due to a force majeure event (including when events at The Garden were suspended by government mandate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic). If, due to a force majeure event, capacity at The Garden is limited to 1,000 or fewer attendees, the teams may schedule and play home games at The Garden with applicable rent payable to the Company under the Arena License Agreements reduced by 80%. If, due to a force majeure event, capacity

91

Table of Contents

at The Garden is limited to less than full capacity but over 1,000 attendees, the parties will agree on an appropriate reduction to the rent payments.

For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized total license fee expense under the Arena License Agreements of approximately $67.6 million to MSG Entertainment.

The Arena License Agreements set forth the terms of the teams’ use of The Garden, including arrangements for the provision of amenities, game day and other services. While MSG Entertainment will provide game day services for the Knicks and the Rangers, most of the associated costs will be borne by the teams. Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, MSG Entertainment, at its sole cost and expense, is responsible for the maintenance, equipment and other functions needed to operate, repair and maintain The Garden.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, MSG Entertainment operates and manages the sale of food and beverage services during all Knicks and Rangers events, for which MSG Entertainment shares 50% of net profits with the Company. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded revenue for food and beverage services of approximately $13.1 million shared from MSG Entertainment.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, MSG Entertainment also has the right and obligation to operate and manage team merchandise sales at The Garden and MSG Entertainment earns a 30% commission on revenues from team merchandise sold in The Garden. MSG Entertainment maintains the exclusive right to control the operation and sale of non-team merchandise. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded commission expense of approximately $6.6 million related to team merchandise sales at The Garden.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, MSG Entertainment has the exclusive right to license and manage suites and club memberships at The Garden, including for use during Knicks and Rangers games, subject to certain exceptions, and shares a portion of the revenues from such licenses and club memberships with the Company. The Company is entitled to 67.5% of revenues (net of any contracted catering credits), for suites or club memberships sold for all or substantially all events at The Garden, including team home games. The Company receives all revenues from the sale of suites licensed for team-only packages or individual team games, subject to a 20-25% commission to MSG Entertainment. For any customizable suite package, revenues are divided between the Company and MSG Entertainment on a proportional basis, with the Company receiving all revenues attributable to Knicks and Rangers events included in the package, less a 20-25% commission to MSG Entertainment. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded approximately $128.2 million of revenue from licensing suite and club memberships.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, the Company retains 47.5% of revenue from the sale of certain arena shared sponsorship assets, such as fixed signage or entitlements at The Garden. MSG Entertainment is not entitled to any revenue from certain team sponsorship assets, such as courtside or rinkside advertising and other team or event-specific sponsorship assets. The Company is also entitled to 32.5% of the revenue from the sale of any arena naming rights. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded approximately $7.6 million of revenue from arena shared sponsorship assets from MSG Entertainment.

Pursuant to the Arena License Agreements, MSG Entertainment does not have the right to sell or retain revenues from ticket sales or resales to team events. The Arena License Agreements set forth MSG Entertainment’s responsibilities with respect to box office services, ticket printing and the Knicks’ and the Rangers’ respective responsibilities to comply with MSG Entertainment’s ticket agent agreements.

The Arena License Agreements provide that the Knicks and the Rangers are responsible for 100% of any real property or similar taxes applicable to The Garden. If the tax exemption is repealed or the teams are otherwise subject to property tax through no fault of the teams, the revenue opportunity that MSG Entertainment may generate from team events will be reduced on a percentage basis as set forth in the Arena License Agreements.

The Arena License Agreements provide for MSG Entertainment to prepare an annual budget, in consultation with the teams, subject to certain team consent rights.

Sponsorship Sales and Service Representation Agreements

In connection with the SPHR Distribution, the Knicks and the Rangers entered into sponsorship sales and service representation agreements with a subsidiary of MSG Entertainment, which have initial terms through June 30, 2030 (which initial terms are subject to renewal). Under these agreements, MSG Entertainment is the exclusive sales and service representative for all sponsorship benefits available for sale in connection with the Knicks and the Rangers, as well as the Knicks’ development team, the Westchester Knicks and Knicks Gaming, the official NBA 2K esports franchise of the Knicks, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., regarding television and radio rights licensed to MSG Networks pursuant to separate media rights agreements). MSG Entertainment receives a commission from the Company, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the agreements. Commissions are generally set at 12.5% of gross revenue, and may be increased to 17.5% of gross revenue for sales above the annual target revenue for the year. Commissions may also be reduced to account for fulfillment costs associated with a particular sponsorship asset. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded commission expense of approximately $11.4 million to MSG Entertainment.

The Company also pays annual sales operation fixed payments to MSG Entertainment associated with providing sponsorship sales services. For each subsequent year, the payment is 103% of the payment for the immediately preceding contract year.

These agreements are subject to certain termination rights, including the right of each of the Company and MSG Entertainment to terminate if the Company and MSG Entertainment are no longer affiliates, and the Company’s right to terminate if certain sales thresholds are not met (unless MSG Entertainment pays the Company the shortfall). NBA consent is required to amend the Knicks’ sponsorship sales and service representation agreement.

Team Sponsorship Allocation Agreement

The Company and MSG Entertainment each routinely enter into sponsorship agreements with third-parties that include the assets of both companies with either the Company or MSG Entertainment serving as the contracting party with the third-party sponsor. In connection with the SPHR Distribution, the Company entered into a team sponsorship allocation agreement with MSG Entertainment pursuant to which the Company and MSG Entertainment distribute payments received under the third-party sponsorship agreements to each other generally in accordance with the relative value of the assets provided by each company under the respective third-party agreement. The Company and MSG Entertainment have also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to receive the payments by the third-party sponsors, and have agreed that neither party would take any action that would cause the other one to be in breach under the third-party agreements (to the extent they had knowledge or reason to have knowledge of such agreement), as well as to consult with each other in the event of a breach by a third-party sponsor.

Group Ticket Sales and Service Representation Agreement

In connection with the SPHR Distribution, the Company entered into a group ticket sales and service representation agreement with MSG Entertainment, with an initial term lasting until June 30, 2024 and automatically renewing annually thereafter, pursuant to which the Company is MSG Entertainment’s sales and service representative to sell group tickets and ticket packages.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, James L. Dolan, also serves as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, our Executive Vice President, David Granville-Smith, also serves as Executive Vice President of Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks and our Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Secretary, Mark C. Cresitello, serves as Secretary of MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment. Eight of our director nominees (including James L. Dolan) also serve as directors of MSG Entertainment. Nine of our director nominees (including James L. Dolan) also serve as directors of Sphere Entertainment. Six of our director nominees (including James L. Dolan) also serve as directors of AMC Networks. Gregg G. Seibert, the Company’s Vice Chairman, also serves as Vice Chairman of MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks. Therefore, these individuals may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting the Company, on the one hand, and MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment or AMC Networks, on the other hand. For example, there is the potential for a conflict of interest when we and MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and/or AMC Networks look at certain acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for more than one of the companies. Also, conflicts may arise if there are issues or disputes under the commercial arrangements that exist between MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment, including MSG Networks as a subsidiary of Sphere Entertainment, and/or AMC Networks and us. In addition, certain of our officers and directors own MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and/or AMC Networks stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options and/or performance stock options.

These ownership interests could create actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest when these individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for the Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment or AMC Networks. See “Related Party Transaction Approval Policy” below for a discussion of certain procedures we instituted to help ameliorate any such potential conflicts that may arise.

Our Articles of Incorporation acknowledge that the Company may have overlapping directors and officers with AMC Networks and their respective subsidiaries and that the Company may engage in material business transactions with such entities. In our Articles of Incorporation, the Company has renounced its rights to certain business opportunities and provided that in certain circumstances our directors and officers will not have liability to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity to MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment, or AMC Networks or any of their respective subsidiaries instead of the Company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. The Articles of Incorporation also expressly validate certain contracts, agreements, arrangements and transactions (and amendments, modifications or terminations thereof) between the Company and MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks and/or any of their respective subsidiaries and provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the actions of the overlapping directors and officers in connection therewith are not breaches of fiduciary duties owed to the Company or its stockholders.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION APPROVAL POLICY

The Company has adopted a written policy whereby an Independent Committee of our Board reviews and approves or takes such other action as it may deem appropriate with respect to transactions involving the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and in which any director, executive officer, greater than 5% stockholder of the Company or any other “related person” (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC) has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. This approval requirement covers any transaction that meets the related party disclosure requirements of the SEC as set forth in Item 404, which currently apply to transactions (or any series of similar transactions) in which the amount involved exceeds the dollar threshold set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC (currently $120,000). To simplify the administration of the approval process under this policy, the Independent Committee may, where appropriate, establish guidelines for certain of those transactions. The policy does not cover decisions on compensation or benefits or the hiring or retention of any person. The hiring or retention of executive officers is determined by our full Board. Compensation of executive officers is subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee. This policy also does not cover any pro rata distributions to all Company stockholders, including a pro rata distribution of our Class A Common Stock to holders of our Class A Common Stock and our Class B Common Stock to holders of our Class B Common Stock. No director on the Independent Committee will participate in the consideration of a related party transaction with that director or any related person of that director.

In addition, our Board has adopted an approval policy for transactions with MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Networks and their respective subsidiaries whether or not such transactions qualify as “related party” transactions described above. Under this policy, an Independent Committee oversees approval of all transactions and arrangements between the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and each of MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries, Sphere Entertainment and its subsidiaries and/or AMC Networks and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, in which the amount exceeds $1 million. In addition, an Independent Committee receives a quarterly update from the Company’s internal audit function of all related party transactions, including transactions and arrangements between the Company and its subsidiaries on the one hand, and each of MSG Entertainment and its subsidiaries, Sphere Entertainment and its subsidiaries and AMC Networks and its subsidiaries, on the other hand regardless of value. To simplify the administration of the approval process under this policy, an Independent Committee may, where appropriate, establish guidelines for certain of these transactions. The approval requirement does not apply to the implementation and administration of the intercompany arrangements under the policy but does cover any amendments, modifications, terminations or extensions involving amounts in excess of $1 million, as well as the handling and resolution of any disputes involving amounts in excess of $1 million. Our executive officers and directors who are also senior executives or directors of MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and/or AMC Networks may participate in the negotiation, execution, amendment, modification, or termination of intercompany arrangements subject to the policy, as well as in any resolution of disputes thereunder, on behalf of any or all of the Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and/or AMC Networks, as applicable, in each case under the direction or ultimate approval of an Independent Committee or the comparable committee of the board of directors of the Company, MSG Entertainment, Sphere Entertainment and/or AMC Networks, as applicable.

Our related party transaction approval policy cannot be amended or terminated without the prior approval of a majority of the Company’s independent directors and by a majority of the directors elected by our Class B Common Stockholders. For purposes of this policy, “independent directors” means those directors who have been determined by our Board to be independent directors for purposes of the NYSE’s corporate governance standards.

Based solely on a review of reports filed under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the Company is aware of no such failures.

(30)Based upon a Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 1) filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020, certain operating subsidiaries of GAMCO Investors, Inc. beneficially hold, or exercise investment discretion over various institutional accounts which would hold, an aggregate of 1,127,997 shares of Class A Common Stock. Mario J. Gabelli who directly or indirectly controls, or for which he acts as Chief Investment Officer of all the GAMCO filing entities, is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock held by such entities.

As a result of their ownership of all of the shares of Class B Common Stock, certain members of the Dolan family, including certain trusts for the benefit of members of the Dolan family (collectively, the “Dolan Family Group”), are able collectively to control stockholder decisions on matters on which holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class, and to elect up to 75% of the Company’s Board. The members of the Dolan Family Group holding Class B Common Stock are parties to a Stockholders Agreement, which has the effect of causing the voting power of the holders of our Class B Common Stock to be cast as a block with respect to all matters to be voted on by holders of our Class B Common Stock. Under the Stockholders Agreement, the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by members of the Dolan Family Group (representing all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock) are to be voted on all matters in accordance with the determination of the Dolan Family Committee (as defined below), except that

107

Table of Contents

the decisions of the Dolan Family Committee are non-binding with respect to the Class B Common Stock owned by certain Dolan family trusts that collectively own approximately 76.5% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock (“Excluded Trusts”). The “Dolan Family Committee” consists of James L. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Patrick F. Dolan, Kathleen M. Dolan, Marianne E. Dolan Weber and Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney. The Dolan Family Committee generally acts by majority vote, except that approval of a going-private transaction must be approved by a two-thirds vote and approval of a change in control transaction must be approved by not less than all but one vote. The voting members of the Dolan Family Committee are James L. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Kathleen M. Dolan, Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney and Marianne E. Dolan Weber, with each member having one vote other than James L. Dolan, who has two votes. Because James L. Dolan has two votes, he has the ability to block Dolan Family Committee approval of any Company change in control transaction. Shares of Class B Common Stock owned by Excluded Trusts will on all matters be voted in accordance with the determination of the Excluded Trusts holding a majority of the Class B Common Stock held by all Excluded Trusts, except in the case of a vote on a going-private transaction or a change in control transaction, in which case a vote of trusts holding two-thirds of the Class B Common Stock owned by the Excluded Trusts is required.

The holders of our Class B Common Stock (other than the Charles F. Dolan Children Trusts) and the Company have entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Dolan Registration Rights Agreement”). Under this agreement, the Company will provide the parties to the Dolan Registration Rights Agreement (the “Dolan Parties”) (and, in certain cases, transferees and pledgees of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by these parties) with certain demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect to their shares of Class A Common Stock (including those issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock). As of October 16, 2025, the Dolan Parties owned approximately 2.7 million shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Dolan Shares”), which represented approximately 59.8% of our Class B Common Stock as well as 534,391 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represented approximately 2.7% of our Class A Common Stock. Such shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, collectively, represented approximately 13.5% of our Common Stock and 42.6% of the aggregate voting power of our Common Stock.

The Charles F. Dolan Children Trusts (the “Children Trusts”) and the Company have entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement”). Under this agreement, the Company will provide the Children Trusts (and, in certain cases, transferees and pledgees of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by these parties) with certain demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect to their shares of Class A Common Stock (including those issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock). As of October 16, 2025, the Children Trusts owned approximately 1.8 million shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Children Trust Shares”), which represented approximately 40.2% of our Class B Common Stock, as well as 90,406 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represented 0.5% of our Class A Common Stock. Such shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, collectively, represented approximately 8.0% of our Common Stock and 28.3% of the aggregate voting power of our Common Stock.

In the Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement, each Children Trust has agreed that in the case of any sale or disposition of its shares of Class B Common Stock (other than to Dolan family interests) by such Children Trust, or of any of the Children Trust Shares by any other Dolan family interest to which such shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred, such shares will be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock. The Dolan Registration Rights Agreement does not include a comparable conversion obligation, and the conversion obligation in the Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement does not apply to any other shares of Class B Common Stock (including the Dolan Shares).

The Dolan Registration Rights Agreement and the Children Trusts Registration Rights Agreement are included as exhibits to our 2025 Form 10-K, and the foregoing discussion of those agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to those agreements as filed.

ANNEX A — RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company amended the definition of adjusted operating income (loss) (“AOI”) so that the impact of the non-cash portion of operating lease costs related to the Company’s Arena License Agreements with MSG Entertainment is no longer excluded.

The Company believes that presenting AOI, a non-GAAP measure, is meaningful, as it reflects metrics considered by the Compensation Committee in making its compensation determinations. The Company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding (1) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (3) restructuring charges or credits, (4) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses, (5) the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions and (6) gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), adjusted operating income (loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the Company’s business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. In addition, the Company believes that the exclusion of gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company’s operating performance given that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities under the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan are recognized in Operating (income) loss whereas gains and losses related to the remeasurement of the assets under the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which are equal to and therefore fully offset the gains and losses related to the remeasurement of liabilities, are recognized in Miscellaneous income (expense), net, which is not reflected in Operating income (loss).

The Company believes adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Adjusted operating income (loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze the Company’s performance. Internally, the Company uses revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators.

Adjusted operating income (loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Since adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies.

All dollar amounts included in this Annex A are presented in thousands, except as otherwise noted. The following is a reconciliation of operating income (loss) (GAAP) to adjusted operating income (loss) (non-GAAP) for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the relevant fiscal year.
