This Schedule 13E-3 relates to the cash tender offer by Wanda Sports & Media (Hong Kong) Holding Co. Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“Purchaser”), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wanda Culture Holding Co. Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“Parent”), to purchase all the issued and outstanding class A ordinary shares of the Company, no par value (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), including all Class A Ordinary Shares represented by American depositary shares (the “ADSs,” with every two ADSs represent three Class A ordinary shares), at a purchase price of $1.70 per Class A Ordinary Share or $2.55 per ADS, without interest (the “Offer”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 23, 2020 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letters of Transmittal (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”).

The information contained in the Offer to Purchase, as well as the tender offer statement on Schedule TO filed by Purchaser and Parent with the SEC on December 23, 2020 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company with the SEC on December 23, 2020 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) is incorporated by reference herein and, except as described below, the responses to each item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, the Schedule TO and the Schedule 14D-9. The cross references identified herein are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and indicate the location in the Offer to Purchase, the Schedule TO and Schedule 14D-9 of the information required to be included in response to the respective Items of this Schedule 13E-3.

Any information contained in the documents incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed modified or superseded for purposes of this Schedule 13E-3 to the extent that any information contained herein modifies or supersedes such information.

Item 15. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following as a new paragraph at the end of “(c) Other Material Information”:

“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 29, 2021. The Tender Agent has advised that, as of the Expiration Date, a total of 36,471,813.5 Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) were validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 73% of the outstanding

Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), excluding 8,215,616 ADSs held by Associates subject to the Standstill Agreement. The foregoing include a total of 17,529,697 ADSs tendered, representing approximately 88% of the outstanding ADSs, excluding the ADSs held by the Associates. Purchaser has accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer.

On January 29, 2021, both the Deposit Agreement Termination and, following the Company’s filing of Form 25 with the SEC on January 19, 2021, the Delisting became effective. As a result of the completion of the Deposit Agreement Termination/Delisting, the ADSs are no longer tradeable and there is no longer any listing of any securities of the Company on any stock exchange in the United States or elsewhere.

In accordance with the right expressly reserved in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser has commenced a subsequent offering period as of 9:00 am New York City time, on February 1, 2021, during which tenders of Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs will be accepted. The subsequent offering period will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 26, 2021, unless extended. Any Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs properly tendered during the subsequent offering period will be immediately accepted for payment, and the holders of such Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs will be promptly paid the same price per Class A Ordinary Share and ADS, as applicable, that was paid in the initial offer period of the Offer. The application of cancellation fees payable to the Depositary and/or stamp duty on transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares during the initial offer period will apply likewise to the subsequent offering period. Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. In addition, no Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs validly tendered during the initial offer period may be withdrawn during the subsequent offering period.

On February 1, 2020, Purchaser issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the initial Offer. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(iii) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
