Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following: Pursuant to and in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 9, 2026, entered into by Emerald Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Emerald"), Emma Buyer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), and Emma Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), on July 14, 2026, Merger Sub merged with and into Emerald, with Emerald surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (such merger, the "Transaction"). Parent and Merger Sub are newly formed holding companies owned by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. ("Apollo"). Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Emerald (each, a share of "Emerald Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Transaction (the "Effective Time"), other than shares of Emerald Common Stock (i) held by Emerald as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Sub (which were cancelled) or any wholly owned subsidiary of Emerald and Parent (other than Merger Sub), or (ii) as to which appraisal rights were properly exercised in accordance with Delaware law (and not validly withdrawn), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $5.03 per share of Emerald Common Stock in cash (the "Merger Consideration"), without interest. As a result of the Transaction the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any securities of the Issuer, nor do they have sole or shared power to vote, direct the vote, dispose or direct the disposition with respect to any securities of the Issuer. As a result of the Transaction, the Reporting Person no longer beneficially own any securities of the Issuer, nor do they have sole or shared power to vote, direct the vote, dispose or direct the disposition with respect to any securities of the Issuer, and the filing of this Amendment No.6 represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an "exit" filing for each Reporting Person. The information contained in Item 5(a) is incorporated herein by reference. Except as described in Item 4 above, none of the Reporting Persons have engaged in any transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty days. None As of July 14, 2026, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of the shares of Common Stock. Onex Corporation /s/ Colin Sam Colin Sam, Managing Director 07/14/2026 Gerald W.
