"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Common questions

Is the TKO Group Holdings, Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Ariel Emanuel sold 25K shares ($4.8M, 0.0% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are TKO Group Holdings, Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 100% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any TKO Group Holdings, Inc. insiders buying?

Yes. 4 officers or directors reported 8 purchases in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P, which includes private purchases).

How much of their stake did TKO Group Holdings, Inc. insiders sell?

Less than 0.1% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

14 of 14 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (13 exactly, 1 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 9 of 14 officers and directors. Left out: Nick Khan, Mark Shapiro, Andrew Schleimer, Seth Krauss and Shane Kapral (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$67.2M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $67.2M across 338,646 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

Purchases · 4 buyers (8 trades)

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertaintyEvery officer and director reconciles

Every officer and director reconciles for this period.

Nick Khan: minor difference of -5 shares. Difference is under 0.5% of holdings.

Inferred typo: the share class "Common Units" is treated as the same class as "Common Unit" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Silver Lake West HoldCo, L.P., 6,542,033 shares): old title, new title

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology201 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 201 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (SEC CIK 1973266) from Sep 12, 2023 to Sep 15, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
