MSGS Madison Square Garden Sports Corp

$MSGS MSG Sports' board approved the split Wednesday: Knicks and Rangers become two separate public companies, targeting completion October 26. The mechanics, from the company release: shareholders of record October 20 receive one MSG Rangers share for every two MSGS shares held. The distribution is intended to be tax-free. The Knicks company trades as MSGK; the Rangers as MSGR. One level down: this is Dolan's third separation. He carved MSG Sports out of MSG Entertainment in April 2020, then spun Sphere in April 2023. The playbook is consistent: isolate the scarce asset so it prices on its own. The timing is notable too: the Knicks are the reigning NBA champions. The wrinkle: Dolan stays CEO of both companies, and five directors are crossing to the Rangers board while Irving Azoff and Isiah Thomas join the Knicks side. Two companies, one control room.

Following the tax-free distribution, the parent company will be renamed MSG Knickerbockers Corp. and trade under the ticker MSGK, focusing on the NBA Knicks and their G League affiliate. The newly created MSG Rangers Corp. will own the NHL Rangers, the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack and the MSG Training Center, with shares expected to trade on the NYSE under MSGR. CEO James L. Dolan will continue to lead both companies. Shareholders of record on October 20 will receive one MSG Rangers common share for every two MSG Sports shares held. $MSGS
