OREANDA-NEWS. April 19, 2016.
Liberty Media Corporation (Nasdaq: LSXMA, LSXMB,
LSXMK, LMCA, LMCK, BATRA, BATRK) ("Liberty")
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 Liberty'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 Liberty'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 Liberty's
certificate of incorporation (as amended, the "Restated
Charter"), Liberty completed a previously announced transaction
whereby each outstanding share of Liberty'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 Liberty Braves Common Stock, 1.0 share of Series A Liberty
SiriusXM Common Stock and 0.25 of a share of Series A Liberty 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 Liberty Braves Common Stock, 1.0 share of Series A Liberty
SiriusXM Common Stock and 0.25 of a share of Series A Liberty Media
Common Stock.
