LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES ENTRY INTO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE IN CONNECTION WITH RECAPITALIZATION

INTO THREE TRACKING STOCK GROUPS

 

ENGLEWOOD, CO, April 18, 2016 -- On April 15, 2016, ÎçҹѰ»¨ (Nasdaq: LSXMA, LSXMB, LSXMK, LMCA, LMCK, BATRA, BATRK) (“ÎçҹѰ»¨”) entered into a Supplemental Indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to the Indenture, dated as of October 17, 2013 (the “Indenture”), related to ÎçҹѰ»¨’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”).  Under the Indenture, the Notes were convertible into cash based on a number of shares of ÎçҹѰ»¨’s Series A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Common Stock”), equal to the “conversion rate” specified in the Indenture. 

On April 15, 2016, pursuant to an amendment and restatement of ÎçҹѰ»¨’s certificate of incorporation (as amended, the “Restated Charter”), ÎçҹѰ»¨ completed a previously announced transaction whereby each outstanding share of ÎçҹѰ»¨’s common stock was reclassified into and exchanged for the same series of three new tracking stocks (the “Reclassification”). The Restated Charter, among other things, reclassified and exchanged each outstanding share of Series A Common Stock for 0.10 of a share of Series A ÎçҹѰ»¨ Braves Common Stock, 1.0 share of Series A ÎçҹѰ»¨ SiriusXM Common Stock and 0.25 of a share of Series A ÎçҹѰ»¨ Media Common Stock, with cash issued in lieu of fractional shares.

As a result of the Reclassification, the Notes will be convertible into cash based on the product of the conversion rate specified in the Indenture and the basket of tracking stocks into which each outstanding share of Series A Common Stock has been reclassified (the “Securities Basket”).  The Supplemental Indenture amends the conversion, adjustment and other provisions of the Indenture to give effect to the Reclassification and provides that the conversion consideration due upon conversion of any Note shall be determined as if references in the Indenture to one share of Series A Common Stock were instead a reference to the Securities Basket, initially consisting of 0.10 of a share of Series A ÎçҹѰ»¨ Braves Common Stock, 1.0 share of Series A ÎçҹѰ»¨ SiriusXM Common Stock and 0.25 of a share of Series A ÎçҹѰ»¨ Media Common Stock.
