Item 8.01. Other Matters
On June 7, 2011 Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) announced that The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. has appealed the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling that the pending split-off (“Split-Off”) of the Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups will not constitute a disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Liberty Media, LLC under the indenture governing its public indebtedness. Liberty is requesting expedition of this appeal and hopes to complete the Split-Off prior to September 23, 2011, which is the last trading day on which Liberty can complete the Split-Off under the terms of Liberty’s charter without seeking another vote of the Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stockholders.
The consummation of the Split-Off is conditioned on a final non-appealable judgment in the Delaware matter, in addition to the other conditions disclosed in Liberty’s proxy statement.
