A Swedish bank has filed a lawsuit challenging Endeavor Group Holdings Inc.'s planned $13 billion take-private buyout. The lawsuit alleges that the deal uses a 71% stake to force minority shareholders to accept an unfair price of $27.50 per share, while allowing insiders, including CEO Ari Emanuel, to roll over their stakes on more favorable terms, in violation of the company’s charter requiring equal treatment for public stockholders.

An investigation by Kehoe Law Firm is underway to determine if Endeavor Group's directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties, following a letter from the California Legislative Women's Caucus urging the removal of Dana White after a domestic violence incident. Investors who held the stock since January 8, 2023 are encouraged to come forward, highlighting potential mismanagement and ethical failures in corporate oversight.

In response to the election of President Trump, Endeavor Group Holdings launched its own political action committee, Endeavor Action, and actively contributed to Democratic candidates and PACs. The company hosted fundraisers during the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries and has seen its leadership, including CEO Ari Emanuel and co-founder Patrick Whitesell, engage in significant political donations and activities. These actions underscore the company's alignment with Democratic political initiatives and opposition to authoritarian ideologies.

In 2017, Endeavor Group Holdings established its own PAC, Endeavor Action, which has actively donated to Democratic candidates and PACs and hosted fundraisers for progressive political figures. The PAC’s formation and activities were a direct response to the election of President Donald Trump, reflecting the company’s commitment to countering authoritarian policies through political engagement.
