Endeavor Appoints Ursula Burns to Board of Directors<\/b><\/p>\n

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nEndeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EDR), a global entertainment, sports and content company, today announced Ursula Burns, former Chair and CEO of Xerox Corporation and VEON Ltd., has joined its Board of Directors.\n<\/p>\n

\nBurns became CEO of Xerox in 2009 after joining the organization more than 25 years prior as a mechanical engineer. As CEO, she led the company through its most transformative period, moving from the leader in document technology to a truly diversified global business services company. In 2016, she joined telecommunications company VEON as Chair and CEO where she remained for several years. In addition to her corporate leadership roles, U.S. President Barack Obama appointed Burns to lead the White House\u2019s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Coalition from 2009-2016, and she served as Chair of the President\u2019s Export Council from 2015-2016 after serving as its Vice Chair for the five years prior. Among her countless professional accomplishments, Burns has led a relentless pursuit to inspire greater inclusivity and diversity among corporations. Burns currently sits on the boards of several public and private companies, including Exxon Mobil Corp., Uber Technologies Inc., Waystar, and Teneo Holdings LLC, while also providing leadership counsel to other community, educational, and non-profit organizations including the Ford Foundation, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Corporation, and Mayo Clinic, amongst others.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs a newly public company, we are honored to welcome Ursula to our Board of Directors at such a transformational time,\u201d remarked Ariel Emanuel, CEO, Endeavor. \u201cUrsula is no stranger to leading global companies through change by embracing innovation and harnessing the power of technology \u2013 exactly the type of experience that will prove invaluable to us as we start this next chapter.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to join Endeavor\u2019s board at this exciting time,\u201d remarked Burns. \u201cEndeavor has long been a leading force in sports and entertainment and a true innovator in the content and events space. I\u2019m looking forward to working alongside the leadership team to build upon the company\u2019s incredible momentum and help lay the foundation for many more successful years to come.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nBurns joins a Board of Directors that includes Emanuel, Endeavor Executive Chairman Patrick Whitesell, Silver Lake Co-CEO Egon Durban, Silver Lake Managing Director Stephan Evans, Uncle Nearest Inc. CEO Fawn Weaver, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.\n<\/p>\n
