Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”) (NASDAQ: LSXMA, LSXMB, LSXMK, BATRA, BATRK, FWONA, FWONK) today announced that its board of directors approved the change in attribution of its Live Nation interest along with other assets and liabilities between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group (the “Reattribution”). The Reattribution, which is based on recent market prices for the publicly traded securities, is effective immediately.

自由媒體公司(“自由媒體”)(納斯達克:路易斯安那州,LSXMB,LSXMK,BATRA,BATRK,FWONA,FWONK)今天宣佈,其董事會批准了一級方程式賽車集團和Liberty SiriusXM集團之間其Live Nation權益以及其他資產和負債的歸屬的改變(以下簡稱“重新歸屬”)。這一重新歸屬是基於公開交易證券的最近市場價格,立即生效。

In summary, $1.5 billion of net asset value has been reattributed from Formula One Group to Liberty SiriusXM Group including:Assets of $2.8 billionEntire Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV) stake consisting of 69.6 million shares of common stock = $2.6 billionNewly created FWON intergroup interest to cover exposure under 1.375% convertible note, 5.3 million shares = $126 millionEntire Liberty SiriusXM intergroup interest representing portion of LSXM shares underlying the 1.375% convertible note, 1.9 million shares = $58 million1.375% convertible note call spread = $53 millionPortion of Braves Group intergroup interest that underlies the 1.375% convertible note, 2.3 million shares = $42 millionLiabilities of $1.3 billion1.375% cash convertible note due 2023, principal amount $1.0 billion = market value $947 million2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048, principal amount $385 million = market value $368 millionLive Nation margin loan, capacity of $270 million, no amount drawn

總而言之,15億美元的資產淨值已從一級方程式集團重新歸入Liberty SiriusXM集團,其中包括:28億美元的資產LIVE民族娛樂(紐約證券交易所股票代碼:LYV)由6960萬股普通股組成的股份=26億美元新成立的FWON組間1.375%可轉換票據下的利息,530萬股=1.26億美元全部自由SiriusXM集團間權益相當於1.375%可轉換票據所涉及的LSXM股份的一部分,190萬股=5800萬美元1.375%可轉換票據贖回價差=5300萬美元勇敢集團1.375%可轉換票據所在的集團間權益部分,230萬股=4200萬美元負債13億美元1.375%2023年到期的現金可轉換票據,本金10億美元=市值9.47億美元2.25%可交換優先債券,本金3.85億美元=市值3.68億美元國家保證金未支取金額

Similarly, $1.5 billion of net asset value has been reattributed from Liberty SiriusXM Group to Formula One Group, comprised of:Live Nation call spread = $165 million (described below)Net cash payment of $1.4 billion, sourced from:Intergroup loan owed to Formula One Group, 5.75% interest rate, pre-payable without penalty = $750 million (the “Intergroup Loan”)Liberty SiriusXM cash on hand ($345 million available as of 3/31) = $207 millionSiriusXM margin loan, $1.35 billion total capacity, $350 million drawn plus $400 million new draw (bringing balance to $750 million)

同樣,15億美元的資產淨值已從Liberty SiriusXM集團重新歸入一級方程式集團,其中包括:Live Nation Call價差=1.65億美元(如下所述)現金支付淨額14億美元,來源:欠一級方程式集團的集團間貸款,5.75%的利率,無罰款預付=7.5億美元(集團間貸款)Liberty SiriusXM手頭現金(截至3月31日可用3.45億美元)=2.07億美元SiriusXM保證金貸款,13.5億美元總容量,3.5億美元提取加上4億美元的新抽獎(使餘額達到7.5億美元)

Liberty SiriusXM intends to launch a subscription rights offering to pay off the Intergroup Loan, as described below.

Liberty SiriusXM打算推出認購權,以償還集團間貸款,如下所述。

“We are excited to announce the completed reattribution between Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group,” said Greg Maffei, Liberty Media President & CEO. “The new Formula One Group now has a strengthened balance sheet that positions us to support and enhance the Formula 1 business while also being opportunistic during these challenging times. We believe the reattribution is also responsive to the request of many Formula One Group shareholders to create a more focused currency. For Liberty SiriusXM, this combines a complementary set of businesses that are established leaders in the live and audio entertainment space. Both the new Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group now have currencies with which to complete acquisitions, raise capital and engage in share repurchases, among other things.”

自由傳媒首席執行官格雷格·馬菲説:“我們很高興地宣佈,一級方程式賽車集團和自由賽維XM集團已完成重新歸屬。”新的一級方程式集團現在擁有更強大的資產負債表,這使我們能夠支持和加強一級方程式業務,同時在這些具有挑戰性的時期採取機會主義態度。我們認為,這一重新歸屬也是對許多一級方程式集團股東創造一種更專注的貨幣的要求的迴應。對於Liberty SiriusXM來説,這結合了一系列互補的業務,這些業務是直播和音頻娛樂領域的老牌領導者。新的一級方程式集團和Liberty SiriusXM集團現在都有貨幣可用來完成收購、籌集資本和進行股票回購等。

The Formula One Group ceased its purchases of Liberty SiriusXM Group in March and does not plan to purchase any additional Liberty SiriusXM Group shares. The Liberty SiriusXM Group suspended its stock repurchase activity in March and will reevaluate the resumption of repurchases after the public announcement of its earnings for the first quarter. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media as of March 31, 2020 is approximately $1.2 billion and can be applied to repurchases of Series A and Series C shares of any of the Liberty Media tracking stocks.

F1集團在3月份停止了對Liberty SiriusXM集團的購買,也不打算再購買Liberty SiriusXM集團的任何股票。Liberty SiriusXM集團在3月份暫停了股票回購活動,並將在公開公佈第一季度收益後重新評估重啟回購的情況。截至2020年3月31日,Liberty Media剩餘的回購授權總額約為12億美元,可用於回購Liberty Media跟蹤的任何股票的A系列和C系列股票。

The Reattribution has no effect on the assets or liabilities attributed to the Braves Group, nor does it effect any change to the legal obligor under any of the reattributed liabilities.

重新歸屬對Braves Group的資產或負債沒有影響,也不會對任何重新歸屬的負債下的法律債務人產生任何影響。

The board of directors of Liberty Media has also declared a dividend of pro rata subscription rights to acquire shares of LSXMK to all holders of record of Liberty SiriusXM Group tracking stock, as of May 13, 2020, with an aggregate intended offering price of $750 million. Each subscription right will entitle the holder to acquire shares of LSXMK at a 20% discount to the volume weighted average price of LSXMK over a three consecutive trading day period to be determined following the release of earnings by Sirius XM. Each subscription right will also entitle any holder who exercises its basic subscription right in full to acquire additional shares of LSXMK shares at the same discounted price. The subscription rights will be transferable, and Liberty Media expects the subscription rights to be publicly traded. The rights offering is expected to commence May 18, 2020 and expire June 2, 2020, subject to extension. Both John Malone, Chairman of the Board of Liberty Media, and Greg Maffei have advised Liberty Media that they intend to exercise their basic subscription rights in full.

Liberty Media董事會還宣佈,截至2020年5月13日,向Liberty SiriusXM Group跟蹤股票的所有記錄持有人按比例發放股息,以獲得LSXMK的股票,總意向發行價為7.5億美元。每項認購權將使持有人有權在天狼星XM發佈收益後的連續三個交易日內,以較LSXMK成交量加權平均價20%的折扣收購LSXMK的股份。每項認購權還將使任何全面行使其基本認購權的持有人有權以相同折扣價收購LSXMK股份的額外股份。認購權將是可轉讓的,Liberty Media預計認購權將公開交易。配股預計將於2020年5月18日開始,2020年6月2日到期,但可延期。自由媒體董事會主席約翰·馬龍和格雷格·馬菲都建議自由媒體,他們打算全面行使他們的基本認購權。

As part of the Reattribution, Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group entered into a call spread. Formula One Group bought, from Liberty SiriusXM Group, a European call option on 34.8 million Live Nation shares with a strike price of $36.72 (the “Reattribution Price”) with an expiration date of April 22, 2021. Simultaneously, Formula One Group sold, to Liberty SiriusXM Group, a European call option on 34.8 million Live Nation shares with a strike price of $47.74, a 30% premium to the Reattribution Price, with an expiration date of April 22, 2021. The net cost of this call spread was $165 million, which offsets a portion of the value of the assets reattributed from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group.

作為重新歸屬的一部分,一級方程式集團和Liberty SiriusXM集團達成了通話差價。一級方程式集團從Liberty SiriusXM Group手中購買了3480萬股Live Nation股票的歐洲看漲期權,執行價為36.72美元(重歸屬價格),到期日為2021年4月22日。與此同時,一級方程式集團向Liberty SiriusXM Group出售了3480萬股Live Nation股票的歐洲看漲期權,執行價為47.74美元,較重歸屬價格溢價30%,到期日為2021年4月22日。這一通話價差的淨成本為1.65億美元,這抵消了從Liberty SiriusXM集團重新歸入一級方程式集團的部分資產價值。

Greg Maffei will host a conference call to discuss the Reattribution on Thursday, April 23 at 9:00 am (E.D.T.). Following prepared remarks, the company will host a brief Q&A session. During the call, Mr. Maffei may discuss financial performance and outlook, as well as other forward looking matters.
