Notes to Attributed Financial Information
(unaudited)
- (1)
- The assets attributed to our Interactive Group include our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC and BuySeasons, Inc., and our interests in IAC/InterActiveCorp, GSI Commerce, Inc., Expedia, Inc., HSN, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Ticketmaster and Tree.com, Inc. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Interactive Group includes our investments in IAC/InterActiveCorp, Expedia, GSI, HSN, Interval, Ticketmaster and Lending Tree, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of QVC, Provide, Backcountry, Bodybuilding and BuySeasons. We have also attributed certain of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the Interactive Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the Interactive Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the Interactive Group. The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group are described in note 4 below. In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group as described in note 5 below.
The Interactive Group focuses on video and on-line commerce businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Interactive Group.
The Entertainment Group consists of our subsidiaries Starz Entertainment, LLC, FUN Sports and Liberty Sports Group, our minority equity interests in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., GSN, LLC and WildBlue Communications, Inc. and approximately $311 million of corporate cash and cash equivalents. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Entertainment Group includes these investments and the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of these consolidated subsidiaries. We have also attributed an equity collar on 98.75 million shares of DIRECTV common stock and $1,888 million of borrowings (as of September 30, 2009) against the put value of such collar to the Entertainment Group.
The Entertainment Group focuses primarily on programming and communications businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Entertainment Group.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Board of Directors of Liberty approved a plan to redeem a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty's Entertainment Group tracking stock for all of the outstanding shares of a newly formed subsidiary of Liberty, Liberty Entertainment, Inc. ("LEI"), (the "Redemption"). The Redemption and resulting separation of LEI from Liberty are referred to as the "Split Off."
If the Redemption is completed, Liberty will redeem 90% of the outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Entertainment common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of the same series of LEI, with cash in lieu of fractional shares, in each case, as of a date to be determined by the board of Liberty (the "Redemption"). Immediately following the Redemption, the holders of Liberty Entertainment common stock will own 100% of the outstanding equity of LEI. At the time of the Split Off, LEI will hold Liberty's interests in DIRECTV (and related collars and debt), Liberty Sports Group and GSN and approximately $80 million in cash. In addition, Liberty and LEI have entered into a revolving credit facility pursuant to which Liberty will provide LEI with up to $300 million principal amount of loans. The Split Off is conditioned on, among other matters, receipt of stockholder approval and receipt of a tax opinion from tax counsel and (x) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Merger Transaction described below or (y) the

termination of the Merger Agreement described below. The Split Off and Merger Transaction are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009.
On May 3, 2009, Liberty and LEI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with DIRECTV and other parties named therein, pursuant to which, after Liberty completes the Split Off, LEI and DIRECTV will combine under a new parent company ("New DIRECTV") (the "Merger Transaction"). The holders of LEI Series A will be entitled to receive 1.11111 shares of New DIRECTV Class A common stock for each share of LEI Series A common stock held by them (as adjusted pursuant to the Merger Agreement). The Chairman of LEI and certain related persons will receive 1.11111 shares of New DIRECTV Class B common stock for each share of LEI Series B common stock held by them (as adjusted pursuant to the Merger Agreement). All other holders of LEI Series B common stock will be entitled to receive 1.11111 shares of New DIRECTV Class A commons stock for each share of LEI Series B common stock held by them (as adjusted pursuant to the Merger Agreement). The Merger Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions.
Subsequent to the Split Off, the Entertainment Group will be renamed the Starz Group and will be comprised principally of Starz Entertainment and cash.
The Capital Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group, including our consolidated subsidiaries Starz Media, LLC, Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., Leisure Arts, Inc., TruePosition, Inc. and WFRV and WJMN Television Station, Inc. and certain cost and equity investments. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Capital Group includes these investments and the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of these consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, we have attributed to the Capital Group all of our notes and debentures (and related interest expense) that have not been attributed to the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group. See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Capital Group.
Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that are not attributed to the Interactive Group or the Entertainment Group will be attributed to the Capital Group.
While we believe the allocation methodology described above is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology in the future. In the event we elect to transfer assets or businesses from one group to the other, such transfer would be made on a fair value basis and would be accounted for as a short-term loan unless our board of directors determines to account for it as a long-term loan or through an inter-group interest.
During the second quarter of 2009, each of the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group made intergroup loans to the Interactive Group in the amount of $250 million. Such loans (i) are secured by various public stocks attributed to the Interactive Group, (ii) accrue interest quarterly at the rate of LIBOR plus 500 basis points and (iii) are due June 16, 2010. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Interactive Group repaid $50 million of the intergroup loans to each of the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group.

- We have accounted for income taxes for the Interactive Group, the Entertainment Group and the Capital Group in the accompanying attributed financial information in a manner similar to a stand-alone company basis.

Holders of Series C common stock of each group, if issued, will be entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote.
