(\u201cDorna\u201d), the exclusive commercial rights holder of the MotoGP\u2122 World Championship (\u201cMotoGP\u201d). Receipt of the European Commission\u2019s approval is the final condition to the transaction, which is now expected to close no later than July 3, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\nThis acquisition enables Liberty Media to accelerate MotoGP\u2019s international appeal and bring captivating racing to a wider global audience. The first MotoGP season was held in 1949 with six rounds staged across Europe and has grown to comprise 22 races across 18 countries for the 2025 season, which is broadcast to hundreds of millions internationally. Liberty Media will leverage its expertise in developing sports and entertainment assets to further expand MotoGP\u2019s fanbase and grow the sport commercially. Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna since 1998, will continue to run the business headquartered in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cToday\u2019s approval from the European Commission marks the final condition to closing Liberty\u2019s acquisition of MotoGP. We are thrilled to officially commence Liberty\u2019s partnership with Carmelo and his excellent management team,\u201d said Derek Chang, Liberty Media President and CEO. \u201cMotoGP is a highly attractive premium sports asset with incredible racing, a passionate fanbase and a strong cash flow profile. We believe the sport and brand have significant growth potential, which we will look to realize through deepening the connection with the core fan base and expanding to a wider global audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are very happy that the European Commission has approved the transaction. This is an important milestone confirming the even brighter future that lies ahead for MotoGP,\u201d said Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna. \u201cMotoGP is one of the most thrilling sports on earth, and we look forward to accelerating the sport\u2019s growth and expanding its reach to even more fans around the world. Liberty is the best possible partner for our sport and the entire MotoGP community, and we are excited to create even greater value for our fans, commercial partners and everyone competing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nLiberty Media will acquire 84% of Dorna with Dorna management retaining 16% of the business. The transaction reflects an enterprise value for Dorna of \u20ac4.3 billion<sup>1<\/sup> and an equity value of \u20ac3.7 billion with the existing debt balance at Dorna expected to remain in place after closing.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe purchase price for Liberty Media\u2019s 84% stake will be paid in cash, including cash on hand at Formula One Group and Formula 1 and proceeds from $1 billion of committed term loan financing at Formula 1. Formula 1\u2019s pro forma net leverage following the acquisition is expected to be under 3.5x, which would permanently reduce the margin on F1\u2019s Term Loan B to 1.75%. Promptly after the transaction closes, Formula One Group expects to draw from Dorna cash and committed term loan proceeds, bringing pro forma leverage at Dorna to just below 5.5x.<\/p>\n<p>\nFollowing the transaction close, members of Liberty Media\u2019s board of directors and management team, including Chase Carey, director of Liberty Media and former CEO of Formula 1, and Sean Bratches, former Managing Director of Commercial Operations at Formula 1, will join Carmelo Ezpeleta and Enrique Aldama, the Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Dorna, on Dorna\u2019s board of directors, which is responsible for oversight of the business and its strategic direction.<\/p>\n<p>\nLiberty Media has received the necessary regulatory approvals in all other jurisdictions to close the acquisition. Following the acquisition, Liberty Media\u2019s Formula One Group tracking stock will be comprised of its subsidiaries Formula 1, MotoGP and Quint, as well as certain minority investments.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bwuline\">About Liberty Media Corporation<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\nLiberty Media Corporation operates and owns interests in media, sports and entertainment businesses. Those businesses are attributed to two tracking stock groups: the Formula One Group and the Liberty Live Group.
