(a)    In January 2023, the Company, extended financing to Holoplot GmbH (“Holoplot”) in the form of a three-year convertible loan (the “Holoplot Loan”) of €18,804, equivalent to $20,484 using the applicable exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Following the acquisition of Holoplot during the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2024 (further discussed below), the Holoplot Loan is eliminated in consolidation.
(b)    As of June 30, 2024, following the sale of portions of the MSGE Retained Interest and the repayment of the DDTL Facility (as defined below) with MSG Entertainment using a portion of the MSGE Retained Interest, the Company no longer holds any of the outstanding common stock of MSG Entertainment. The Company elected the fair value option for its investment in MSG Entertainment as of June 30, 2023, when it held approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock of MSG Entertainment (in the form of Class A common stock). The fair value of the investment was determined based on quoted market prices on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which were classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy.
(c)    The Company’s investments with readily determinable fair values are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy as they are based on quoted prices in active markets.
