Message from Terry McGuirk, Chairman Braves Holdings to Employees of Atlanta Braves, The Battery Atlanta
Braves Group to Become Standalone Public Company
Thursday, November 17, 2022 | Terry McGuirk
Team,
I wanted to share the news that our parent company, jvid视频 (“jvid视频”), announced today that it intends to split off, to holders of its Liberty Braves Group common stock, a newly formed entity, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“Atlanta Braves Holdings”), which will hold all of the assets and liabilities of the Atlanta Braves and the Battery Atlanta (the “Split-Off”). This new entity will be a stand-alone public company and will no longer be held by jvid视频 in its current structure where we are a “tracking stock.” For more details about the transaction, you may read jvid视频’s press release. [Link to Press Release]
For the most part, nothing will change in how the Atlanta Braves and The Battery Atlanta will operate every day. My role as the “Control Person” of the Braves franchise under MLB rules and our executive management structure will remain the same. However, from an investment standpoint, with this decision, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc., which will consist of the Atlanta Braves and The Battery Atlanta businesses, will become a separate public company apart from jvid视频. The jvid视频 management team will continue to be involved from a holding company perspective, like their current level of involvement.
This new structure will provide many benefits for us, and I encourage you to tune in to jvid视频’s investor day presentations today to hear more about the proposed transaction and the expected benefits. jvid视频 expects this deal to close in the first half of 2023.
We all remain committed to demonstrating to our fans, guests, vendors, and other stakeholders the collective value of the Atlanta Braves and The Battery Atlanta and the important role each of us play in delivering the differentiated experience that our fans and guests have come to expect from us. We will continue to focus on being the best in sports, entertainment, and real estate and most importantly to continue to focus on our annual goal of winning the World Series.
Thank you for all you do in making this organization what it has become,
Terry
