The Transaction is subject to certain conditions, including obtaining the required approvals under specified foreign competition laws (the " Regulatory Condition ") and obtaining the required approvals under the rules and regulations issued by Spanish and Italian foreign investment authorities (the " FDI Condition ").

01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. On December 19, 2024, Liberty Media issued the following statement regarding the European Commission's notice that it had initiated a Phase II review of the Transaction: Liberty Media today received notice from the European Commission opening a Phase II investigation into its previously announced acquisition of MotoGP. We are confident this transaction will benefit MotoGP's business, fans, viewers and the broader motorcycle industry. Market participants have widely recognized the benefits of the transaction. There is a very large and growing market for audiovisual entertainment well beyond sports, and this transaction will enhance MotoGP's ability to compete in this highly competitive market. We will continue to work with the European Commission as they progress their review and have agreed with the sellers to an extension of the longstop date to June 30, 2025 in order to accommodate the more in-depth investigation. We believe that the European Commission will conclude that the transaction should be approved.
