Concorde Agreement

The 2021 Concorde Agreement provided, among other things, for the participation of the teams in the F1 Championship and provided for Formula 1 to make certain prize fund payments to the teams. The 2021 Concorde Agreement expired on December 31, 2025 and was made up of two separate documents: (a) the 2021 Concorde

Commercial Agreement between Formula 1 and each of the teams; and (b) the 2021 Concorde Governance Agreement between Formula 1, the FIA and each of the Formula 1 Teams.

In March 2025, Formula 1 paid a total of $50 million to the 10 teams currently competing in the F1 Championship as an incentive for signing the 2026 Concorde Commercial Agreement. The $50 million one-time payment to the teams is excluded from Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The 2026 Concorde Commercial Agreement addresses arrangements between Formula 1 and the teams for the F1 Championship seasons covering the period 2026 to 2030, and expires on December 31, 2030. In December 2025, Formula 1, the FIA and the Formula 1 Teams entered into the 2026 Concorde Governance Agreement for the same period.

Guarantees

In connection with agreements for the sale of assets by the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company may retain liabilities that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees.

Litigation

The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of the liability accrual and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. We may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
