ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ÎçҹѰ»¨ ("ÎçҹѰ»¨") (Nasdaq: LCAPA, LCAPB, LINTA, LINTB, LSTZA, LSTZB) today announced that its board of directors has approved the following, effective immediately:

    --  the change in attribution from the ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive tracking stock
        group ("ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive") to the ÎçҹѰ»¨ Capital tracking stock
        group ("ÎçҹѰ»¨ Capital") of the approximately 14.6% stake in Live
        Nation Entertainment, Inc. ("Live Nation") (NYSE: LYV) ÎçҹѰ»¨ currently
        owns;
    --  the change in attribution from ÎçҹѰ»¨ Capital to ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive of
        the following debt securities issued by ÎçҹѰ»¨ Media, LLC, a subsidiary
        of ÎçҹѰ»¨:
        o $469 million in principal amount of 4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures
          due 2029 (the "2029 Exchangeables");
        o $460 million in principal amount of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior
          Debentures due 2030 (the "2030 Exchangeables"); and
        o $491.7 million in principal amount of 3.5% Exchangeable Senior
          Debentures due 2031 (the "2031 Exchangeables");
    --  the change in attribution from ÎçҹѰ»¨ Capital to ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive of
        an aggregate of $830.2 million in net taxable income to be recognized
        ratably in tax years 2014 through 2018 as a result of the cancellation
        in April 2009 of $400 million in face amount of 2029 Exchangeables and
        $350 million in face amount of 2030 Exchangeables; and
    --  the change in attribution from ÎçҹѰ»¨ Capital to ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive of
        $807 million in cash.

Gregory B. Maffei, ÎçҹѰ»¨ President and CEO, said, "Today we have announced a change in the attribution of three issuances of our exchangeable debt as well as our existing stake in Live Nation.  The amount of cash reattributed to the ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive group is sufficient to pay the 2013 debt maturities attributed to ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive in full.  In addition, we believe that the reattribution of this exchangeable debt puts these issuances of long-term debt with unique tax characteristics in the hands of the tracking stock group that is best positioned to take advantage of those tax characteristics, and will have positive effects on the liquidity and free cash flow of the ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive group.  Also, since ÎçҹѰ»¨ has recently made a cash tender offer for an additional stake in Live Nation on behalf of the ÎçҹѰ»¨ Capital group, the reattribution of our existing interest will allow our entire Live Nation stake to reside in the single tracking stock group best positioned for that investment.  Finally, we believe that this reattribution improves the capital structure attributed to ÎçҹѰ»¨ Interactive and provides increased flexibility for our tracking stock groups."  

Additional information regarding this change in attribution is contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K being filed by ÎçҹѰ»¨ with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") today.  Copies of this filing may be obtained for free from the SEC's website, .
