Annual Report timberwolves.com lynxbasketball.com For more information on the Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation or the Lynx Foundation, please contact: Community Relations 600 First Avenue North | Minneapolis, MN 55403 | 612.673.1600 [email protected] FOUNDATION Art Direction and Design: Emilie Rainsberry Photography: David Sherman, NBA Photos Copywriting: Sarah Haugen Dear Friends – As an NBA and WNBA owner, one of the accomplishments I'm most proud of is our organizations' commitment to the community in which we live and play every day. A lot has changed with our franchises through the years, but our commitment to Minnesota remains constant and strong through our efforts of the Minnesota Timber- wolves FastBreak Foundation and the Minnesota Lynx Foundation. During the past year, these two foundations combined to support more than 2,500 non-profit organizations, contribute more than $1 million through grants and in-kind donations, commit more than 4,300 volunteer hours and place countless smiles on the faces of children across Minnesota. Whether remodeling a Reading and Learning Center, honoring Minnesota military personnel and their families, recognizing our smallest fans suffering from life-threatening illnesses or developing a lifelong love for reading, our Foundations impact young people each and every day. As part of those efforts, we also know it's important to have players tightly woven into the fabric of our commu- nity. With the players-funded Tickets for Kids program, the 4th Annual Kevin Love Coat Drive and Anthony Tolliver's Holiday Party, our players are putting their individual signatures onto the community in which we play. This Annual Report demonstrates the commitment of our players, owners, staff, fans and sponsors as active participants in our community and I hope you take as much pride in our off-court successes as I do. If you would like to get involved or learn more about either Foundation, please contact our Community Relations department (612.673.1636 or [email protected]). Thank you for your continued support of our teams, our initiatives and our communities.

    CASE 0:21-cv-01289 Doc. 1 Filed 05/26/21 Page 1 of 33 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA ORBIT SPORTS LLC, Civil Action No.: _________ Plaintiff, vs. COMPLAINT GLEN TAYLOR, TAYLOR CORPORATION, and TAYLOR SPORTS GROUP, INC., Defendants. Plaintiff Orbit Sports LLC (“Orbit”), by and through its attorneys, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, states as follows by way of Complaint against defendants Glen Taylor (“Taylor”), Taylor Corporation (“Taylor Corporation”) and Taylor Sports Group, Inc. (“Taylor Sports Group”) (each, a “Taylor Party” and collectively, the “Taylor Parties”), upon knowledge with respect to Orbit’s own acts and upon information and belief with respect to all other matters: INTRODUCTION 1. The Taylor Parties are, collectively, the majority owner and General Partner of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves (the “Timberwolves”) and the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx (the “Lynx”). The Taylor Parties, however, are not the only owner. Over the years, the Taylor Parties have raised substantial sums of money by selling portions of their interests in the teams to various limited partners. 2. Among those limited partners is Orbit, which currently owns more than 17% of the Timberwolves and Lynx. Orbit not only owns the second largest ownership interest in the teams, but its stake also is greater than those of all other (non-Taylor Parties) limited partners combined. CASE 0:21-cv-01289 Doc. 1 Filed 05/26/21 Page 2 of 33 3. Orbit first invested in the Timberwolves and Lynx in 2016, when the Taylor Parties sold a portion of their interests to raise desperately-needed cash.
