Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Sunset Amphitheater at Broken Arrow

 

Venu Holding Corporation (the “Company”) currently projects its in-development Sunset Amphitheater at Broken Arrow to open in the summer of 2026. That amphitheater is being developed as a multi-seasonal, multi-configurational venue intended to host a variety of events, including multi-sensory-centric content, acts, and performances. To afford the Company flexibility in operating the venue, and to facilitate the anticipated broader amount and types of performances and content hosted at the facility, the Company intends to operate the venue as an “open room” instead of engaging an exclusive operator or promotor for the venue. As part of the “open room” operating model, the Company has entered into a Multi-Event Incentive Agreement with Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. (“Live Nation”) whereby, on a non-exclusive basis, Live Nation may book and promote live music concerts, comedy events, and other mutually approved entertainment events at the venue. The agreement provides for escalating incentive payments to Live Nation based on the number of tickets sold at events presented by Live Nation at the venue during each contract year, and it provides the potential for Live Nation to receive a bonus payment if defined revenue targets are achieved. The agreement does not obligate the parties to book a minimum number of events at the venue or to reserve any particular date or time for events to be booked at the venue.

 

Centennial Colorado Property Acquisition and Development

 

As previously disclosed, the Company is a party to a purchase and sale agreement to acquire certain real property in Centennial, Colorado, and plans to develop a mid-size indoor music venue and restaurant on that property. On October 31, 2025, the parties agreed to extend the closing date to December 15, 2025, and to also extend certain deadlines related to due diligence. The closing on the acquisition of that property remains subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions.
