Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 30, 2015, MSG Networks Inc. (formerly The Madison Square Garden Company, and referred to herein as the “Registrant”) distributed all of the outstanding common stock of The Madison Square Garden Company (formerly MSG Spinco, Inc., and referred to herein as “MSG”) to its stockholders (the “Distribution”). MSG owns, directly or indirectly, the sports and entertainment businesses previously owned and operated by the Registrant, owns, leases or operates the arenas and other venues previously owned, leased or operated by the Registrant and owns the joint venture interests previously owned by the Registrant. In the Distribution, each holder of the Registrant’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of record as of the close of business, New York City time, on September 21, 2015 (the “Record Date”), received one share of MSG Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every three shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock held on the Record Date. Each record holder of the Registrant’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, received one share of MSG Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every three shares of the Registrant’s Class B common stock held on the Record Date.

Subsequent to the Distribution, the Registrant will no longer include the financial results of MSG’s sports and entertainment businesses, arenas and other venues and joint ventures for the purpose of its own financial reporting. After the date of the Distribution, the historical financial results of MSG will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant as discontinued operations for all periods presented through the Distribution date, beginning with the financial statements to be filed for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K are the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Registrant as of June 30, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Registrant for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, in each case giving effect to the Distribution.
