NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS	10. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS Nonredeemable Non-Controlling Interest in TKO OpCo In connection with the business acquisition of WWE on September 12, 2023, the Company became the sole managing member of TKO OpCo and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of TKO OpCo. The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in TKO OpCo held by the other members of TKO OpCo. TKO OpCo’s operating agreement provides that holders of membership interests in TKO OpCo (“Common Units”) may, from time to time, require TKO OpCo to redeem all or a portion of their Common Units (and an equal number of shares of TKO Class B common stock) for shares of TKO Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the Company’s option, in cash using proceeds received from a qualified offering of TKO Class A common stock. In connection with any redemption or exchange, the Company will receive a corresponding number of Common Units, increasing the total ownership interest in TKO OpCo. Changes in the ownership interest in TKO OpCo while the Company retains its controlling interest in TKO OpCo will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of Common Units in TKO OpCo by the other members of TKO OpCo will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase additional paid-in capital. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest in the UFC In July 2018, the Company received an investment of $9.7 million by third parties (the “Russia Co-Investors”) in a newly formed subsidiary of the Company (the “Russia Subsidiary”) that was formed to expand the Company’s existing UFC business in Russia and certain other countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States. The terms of this investment provide the Russia Co-Investors with a put option to sell their ownership in the Russia Subsidiary. Following an initial five-year and six month holding period which has now lapsed, the put option is exercisable annually during a three-month window commencing six months after each anniversary of the investment's consummation (typically January through March). The purchase price of the put option is the greater of the total investment amount, defined as the Russia Co-Investors’ cash contributions less cash distributions, or fair value. The estimated redemption value was $34.4 million at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
