TKO Group Holdings, Inc. amended its first lien credit agreement and arranged new debt to fund a large share repurchase. An indirect subsidiary refinanced its existing first lien term loans with new first lien secured term loans and added a $1.0 billion incremental first lien term loan that amortizes quarterly and matures on November 21, 2031. The revolving credit facility maturity was extended to September 15, 2030.
Term loans and revolver borrowings bear variable interest based on Term SOFR or ABR plus stated margins. On the closing date, the subsidiary drew the full $1.0 billion incremental term loan, with proceeds intended for general corporate purposes and to fund share repurchases and related fees. TKO entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement for $800.0 million of Class A common stock and a 10b5-1 plan for up to $174.0 million of additional repurchases. After these and a prior approximately $26.1 million repurchase, TKO will have completed $1.0 billion of its $2.0 billion share repurchase program and expects to finish the program in approximately three to four years.
TKO Group announced a seven-year media rights agreement with Paramount that makes Paramount the exclusive U.S. home for all UFC events beginning in 2026. The deal carries an average annual value of $1.1 billion, with UFC’s marquee numbered events and Fight Nights distributed on Paramount+ and select events simulcast on CBS.
The Agreement’s payment schedule is explicitly weighted toward the back end of the term. TKO expects revenue recognition to follow industry practice for large media-rights contracts, producing roughly similar annual recognition with single-digit percent escalators each year.
