INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION
SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS CERTIFICATES
CONSULT BROADRIDGE CORPORATE ISSUER SOLUTIONS, INC. (THE “SUBSCRIPTION AGENT”) OR YOUR BANK OR BROKER AS TO ANY QUESTIONS
The following instructions relate to a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the holders of its Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock”), to the holders of its Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock”), and to the holders of its Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock”), as described in the Company’s prospectus dated May 14, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). In the rights distribution (as such term is defined in the Prospectus), holders of record of shares of the Company’s Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (together, the “Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock”), at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on May 13, 2020 (the “Record Date”) received 0.0939 of a transferable subscription right (a “Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right”) for each share of the Company’s Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock held by them as of the Record Date. The total number of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to be issued to each such holder was rounded up to the nearest whole number (after taking into account the aggregate number of Series C SiriusXM Rights each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive in respect of the aggregate number of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock held of record by such holder as a result of the Rights Offering). Such rounding was made with respect to each beneficial stockholder. Each whole Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right is exercisable, upon payment of $25.47 as described below (the “Subscription Price”), to purchase one share of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”). In addition, subject to the proration described below, each holder of record of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights (each a “Rightsholder”) that fully exercises its Basic Subscription Privilege with respect to all Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights that it holds in the same capacity pursuant to a single rights certificate also has the right to subscribe at the Subscription Price for additional shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (the “Oversubscription Privilege”). If shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock being offered in the Rights Offering remain available for subscription following the exercise of the Basic Subscription Privilege by Rightsholders prior to the Expiration Time, as defined below (the “Excess Shares”), such Rightsholders may exercise their Oversubscription Privilege to subscribe for a number of Excess Shares. If there are not a sufficient number of Excess Shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to satisfy all subscriptions pursuant to the exercise of Oversubscription Privileges by the applicable Rightsholders, the available Excess Shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock will be allocated pro rata among Rightsholders exercising their Oversubscription Privilege in proportion to the number of shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that each such Rightsholder purchased pursuant to its Basic Subscription Privilege; provided, however, that if such pro rata allocation results in any Rightsholder being allocated a greater number of Excess Shares than such Rightsholder subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of such Rightsholder’s Oversubscription Privilege, then such Rightsholder will be allocated only such number of Excess Shares as such Rightsholder subscribed for, and the remaining Excess Shares will be allocated among the other Rightsholders exercising their Oversubscription Privilege with respect to the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights.
The Rights Offering will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2020, unless extended as described in the Prospectus (the “Expiration Time”).
AS DESCRIBED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS, YOUR RIGHTS CERTIFICATE (ALONG WITH AN INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FORM W-8 OR W-9, AS APPLICABLE, TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY PARAGRAPH 2 OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS) MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, OR GUARANTEED DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR RIGHTS CERTIFICATE MUST BE COMPLIED WITH, AND PAYMENT OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE MUST BE RECEIVED, AS MORE SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED BELOW AND IN THE PROSPECTUS, BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION TIME. YOU MAY NOT REVOKE ANY EXERCISE OF A SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHT.
Below is a list of the key dates for the Rights Offering of which you should be aware. With the exception of the Record Date and Rights Distribution Date, such dates are subject to change in the
event the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) determines to extend the Rights Offering. For more information regarding these dates, we encourage you to review the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Rights Offering,” as this portion of the Prospectus describes other timing considerations of which you should be aware regarding the Rights Offering.

No fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights or cash in lieu thereof were issued or paid. Instead, the total number of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights issued to each stockholder was rounded up to the nearest whole number (after taking into account the aggregate number of Series C SiriusXM Rights each stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive in respect of all shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock held of record by such stockholder, in the aggregate as a result of the Rights Offering). Such rounding was made with respect to each beneficial stockholder. Nominee holders of the Company’s Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that held, on the Record Date, shares for the account(s) of more than one beneficial owner may, upon proper showing to the Subscription Agent, exercise such beneficial owners’ Basic Subscription Privilege and Oversubscription Privilege as described below.
The Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights will be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “LSXMR.”
The number of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to which a holder of Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock is entitled is printed on the face of that holder’s “Rights Certificate.” You should indicate your wishes with regard to the exercise, assignment, transfer or sale of your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights by completing the Rights Certificate and returning it to the Subscription Agent in the envelope provided.

THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT ONLY UPON (I) THE CLEARANCE OF ANY UNCERTIFIED CHECK, OR (II) THE RECEIPT BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT OF ANY WIRE TRANSFER, CERTIFIED CHECK OR BANK DRAFT DRAWN UPON A U.S. BANK OR OF ANY POSTAL, TELEGRAPHIC OR EXPRESS MONEY ORDER.
If paying by uncertified personal check, please note that the funds paid thereby may take approximately five business days to clear. Accordingly, Rightsholders who wish to pay the Subscription Price by means of an uncertified personal check are urged to make payment sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Time to ensure that such payment is received and clears by such date and are urged to consider payment by means of certified or cashier’s check or money order.
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Alternatively, you may cause a written guarantee substantially in the form enclosed herewith (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”) from a commercial bank, trust company, securities broker or dealer, credit union, savings association or other eligible guarantor institution which is a member of or a participant in a signature guarantee program acceptable to the Subscription Agent (each of the foregoing being an “Eligible Institution”), to be received by the Subscription Agent at or prior to the Expiration Time, together with payment in full of the applicable Subscription Price.

If you exercise less than all of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights evidenced by your Rights Certificate you may either (a) check the box next to Section 2 and complete Section 2 of your Rights Certificate to direct the Subscription Agent to attempt to sell the unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights (but no fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights) on your behalf (and provide an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as described in Paragraph 2(a) below), (b) check the box next to Section 3 and complete Section 3 of your Rights Certificate to transfer your remaining unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights (but no fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights) to a designated transferee or to assign them to a bank or broker to sell for you, or (c) check the box next to Section 4 and complete Section 4 of your Rights Certificate and the Subscription Agent will issue you a new Rights Certificate evidencing the unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights (see Paragraph 4 of these “Instructions For Use of Liberty Media Corporation Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights Certificates”). If you choose to have any such new Rights Certificate delivered to a different address, so indicate in Section 4 of your Rights Certificate. If you choose to have a new Rights Certificate sent, you may not receive the new Rights Certificate in sufficient time to permit the exercise, assignment, transfer or sale of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights evidenced thereby.
If you have not indicated the number of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights being exercised, or if you have not forwarded full payment of the Subscription Price for the number of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights that you have indicated are being exercised, you will be deemed to have exercised the Basic Subscription Privilege with respect to the maximum number of whole Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights which may be exercised for the aggregate Subscription Price transmitted or delivered by you, and to the extent that the aggregate Subscription Price transmitted or delivered by you exceeds the product of the applicable per share Subscription Price multiplied by the number of whole Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate(s) transmitted or delivered by you and no direction is given as to the excess (such excess being the “Subscription Excess”), you will be deemed to have exercised your Oversubscription Privilege to purchase, to the extent available, that number of whole shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Subscription Excess by the applicable per share Subscription Price, subject to the limit on the number of shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock available to be purchased in the Rights Offering and applicable proration.
Conditions to Completion of the Rights Offering. There are no conditions to the completion of the Rights Offering. However, the Company has the right to terminate the Rights Offering for any reason before the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights expire.

As soon as practicable after the Expiration Time, the following deliveries and payments will be made to the address shown on the face of your Rights Certificate unless you provide instructions to the contrary in Section 1 of your Rights Certificate.
Subscription Privilege. The Subscription Agent will deliver to each validly exercising Rightsholder shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock purchased pursuant to such exercise including the number of shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock allocated to and purchased by such Rightsholder pursuant to its
Oversubscription Privilege. The Subscription Agent will effect delivery of the subscribed-for shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock through the Subscription Agent’s book-entry registration system by mailing to each subscribing Rightsholder a statement of holdings detailing such Rightsholder’s subscribed-for shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and the method by which the subscribing Rightsholder may access its account and, if desired, trade its shares. See “The Rights Offering—Subscription Privileges” in the Prospectus.

The Subscription Agent will promptly deliver to each Rightsholder who exercises the Oversubscription Privilege any excess funds tendered, without interest or deduction, in payment of the Subscription Price for each share of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that is subscribed for by, but not allocated to, such Rightsholder pursuant to the Oversubscription Privilege.
2. SELL YOUR RIGHTS (Section 2 of the Rights Certificate).
(a) Sale of All Unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights Through the Subscription Agent. To sell all unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights (but no fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights) through the Subscription Agent, you must so indicate by checking the box next to Section 2 and completing Section 2 of the Rights Certificate and you must provide a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, to the Subscription Agent along with your completed Rights Certificate. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 and W-9 and the applicable instructions are available on the Internal Revenue Service website at www.irs.gov.

Promptly following the Expiration Time, the Subscription Agent will send the selling Rightsholder a check for the net proceeds from the sale of any Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights sold, reduced by any applicable tax withholding (including backup withholding). The aggregate fees charged by the Subscription Agent for selling Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights will be deducted from the aggregate sale price for all such Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights in determining the weighted average net sale price of all such Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. The Subscription Agent’s obligation to execute sell orders is subject to its ability to find buyers for the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT A MARKET WILL DEVELOP OR BE MAINTAINED FOR THE SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS OR THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT WILL BE ABLE TO SELL ANY SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS.
You must have your order to sell your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to the Subscription Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth business day before the Expiration Time (which is May 29, 2020, unless the Expiration Time is extended).
If the Subscription Agent cannot sell your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day before the Expiration Time, the Subscription Agent will return your rights certificate to you by overnight delivery. We encourage you to review the discussion in the Prospectus under the heading “The Rights Offering—Method of Transferring and Selling Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights—Sales of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights Through the Subscription Agent.” Deliveries and payments will be made to the address shown on the face of your Rights Certificate unless you provide instructions to the contrary in Section 2 of your Rights Certificate.
Failure to provide a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, may result in the imposition of backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%). See the discussion in the Prospectus under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Rights Distribution and the Rights Offering— Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.”
(b) Sale of Less than All Unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights Through the Subscription Agent. You may have your Rights Certificate divided into Rights Certificates of appropriate denominations by following the instructions in Paragraph 4 below. The Rights Certificate evidencing the number of unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights you intend to sell can then be sold by following the instructions in Paragraph 2(a). IF THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT SELLS ANY OF YOUR SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS, SUCH SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN SOLD AT THE WEIGHTED
AVERAGE SALE PRICE OF ALL SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS SOLD BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT. Promptly following the Expiration Time, the Subscription Agent will send the holder a check for the net proceeds from the sale of any Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights sold, reduced by any applicable tax withholding (including backup withholding). The aggregate fees charged by the Subscription Agent for selling Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights will be deducted from the aggregate sale price for all such Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights in determining the weighted average net sale price of all such Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. The Subscription Agent’s obligation to execute sell orders is subject to its ability to find buyers for the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT A MARKET WILL DEVELOP OR BE MAINTAINED FOR THE SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS OR THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT WILL BE ABLE TO SELL ANY SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS.
You must have your order to sell your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to the Subscription Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth business day before the Expiration Time (which is May 29, 2020, unless the Expiration Time is extended).
If the Subscription Agent cannot sell your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day before the Expiration Time, the Subscription Agent will return your rights certificate to you by overnight delivery. We encourage you to review the discussion in the Prospectus under the heading “The Rights Offering—Method of Transferring and Selling Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights—Sales of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights Through the Subscription Agent.” Deliveries and payments will be made to the address shown on the face of your Rights Certificate unless you provide instructions to the contrary in Section 2 of your Rights Certificate.
3. TRANSFER OF ALL OR LESS THAN ALL UNEXERCISED SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS TO ONE OR MORE DESIGNATED TRANSFEREES (Section 3 of the Rights Certificate).
(a) One Designated Transferee. To transfer all of your unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to a designated transferee or to a broker, dealer or nominee for sale on your behalf, you must so indicate by checking the box next to Section 3 and completing Section 3 of your Rights Certificate. A Rights Certificate that has been properly transferred in its entirety may be exercised by a new holder without having a new Rights Certificate issued. If you wish to transfer less than all of your unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights (but no fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights) to one designated transferee or to a broker, dealer or nominee for sale on your behalf, so indicate by checking the box next to Section 3 and completing Section 3 of your Rights Certificate and separately instruct the Subscription Agent as to the action to be taken with respect to the unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights not transferred. Such instructions should be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If no such instructions are received, the Subscription Agent will issue you a new Rights Certificate evidencing the unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. If the box next to Section 3 is checked but Section 3 is not completed, the Subscription Agent may thereafter treat the bearer of the Rights Certificate as the absolute owner of all of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate for all purposes, and neither the Subscription Agent nor the Company shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
If you wish to transfer any of your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights, you must have your order to transfer such Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to the Subscription Agent by the fifth business day prior to the Expiration Time (which is May 29, 2020, unless the Expiration Time is extended).
(b) More than One Designated Transferee. Because only the Subscription Agent can issue Rights Certificates, if you wish to transfer all or less than all of the unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights (but no fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights) evidenced by your Rights Certificate to more than one designated transferee or to more than one broker, dealer or nominee for sale on your behalf, so indicate by checking the box next to Section 3 and completing Section 3 and separately instruct the Subscription Agent as to the action to be taken with respect to any unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights not transferred. Such instructions should be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. Alternatively, you may first have your Rights Certificate divided into Rights Certificates of appropriate denominations by following the instructions in Paragraph 5 below. Each Rights Certificate evidencing
the number of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights you intend to transfer can then be transferred by following the instructions in Paragraph 5(c).
If you wish to transfer any of your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights, you must have your order to transfer such Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to the Subscription Agent by the fifth business day prior to the Expiration Time (which is May 29, 2020, unless the Expiration Time is extended).
4. TO HAVE A SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS CERTIFICATE DIVIDED INTO SMALLER DENOMINATIONS.
Send your Rights Certificate, together with complete separate instructions (including specification of the denominations into which you wish your Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to be divided), signed by you, to the Subscription Agent, allowing a sufficient amount of time for new Rights Certificates to be issued and returned so that they can be used prior to the Expiration Time. Alternatively, you may assign your unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to a bank or broker to effect such actions on your behalf. Your signature must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution if any of the new Rights Certificates are to be issued in a name other than that in which the old Rights Certificate was issued. Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights Certificates may not be divided into fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights, and any instruction to do so will be rejected. As a result of delays in the mail, the time of the transmittal, the necessary processing time and other factors, you or your transferee may not receive such new Rights Certificate(s) in time to enable the Rightsholder to complete a sale, exercise or transfer by the Expiration Time. Neither the Company nor the Subscription Agent will be liable to either a transferor or transferee for any such delays.
If you choose to have a new Rights Certificate sent, you may not receive the new Rights Certificate in sufficient time to permit the exercise, assignment, transfer or sale of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights evidenced thereby.
5. EXECUTION.
(a) Execution by Registered Holder(s). The signature on the Rights Certificate must correspond with the name of the registered holder exactly as it appears on the face of the Rights Certificate without any alteration or change whatsoever. If the Rights Certificate is registered in the names of two or more joint owners, all of such owners must sign. Persons who sign the Rights Certificate in a representative or other fiduciary capacity must indicate their capacity when signing and, unless waived by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, must present to the Subscription Agent satisfactory evidence of their authority to so act.
(b) Execution by Person Other than Registered Holder. If the Rights Certificate is executed by a person other than the holder named on the face of the Rights Certificate, proper evidence of authority of the person executing the Rights Certificate must accompany the same unless, for good cause, the Company dispenses with proof of authority, in its sole and absolute discretion.
(c) Signature Guarantees. Your signature must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution if you wish to transfer all or less than all of your unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights to a designated transferee or to a broker, dealer or nominee for sale on your behalf as specified in Paragraphs 4(c) and/or 4(d), or to have the Subscription Agent sell less than all of your unexercised Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights, as specified in Paragraph 4(b).
6. METHOD OF DELIVERY.
The method of delivery of Rights Certificates and payment of the Subscription Price to the Subscription Agent will be at the election and risk of the Rightsholder, but, if sent by mail, it is recommended that they be sent by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent and the clearance of any checks sent in payment of the Subscription Price prior to the Expiration Time. If paying by uncertified personal check, please note that the funds paid thereby may take
approximately five business days to clear. Accordingly, Rightsholders who wish to pay the Subscription Price by means of an uncertified personal check are urged to make payment sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Time to ensure that such payment is received and clears by such date and are urged to consider payment by means of certified or cashier’s check or money order. Rightsholders who wish to pay the Subscription Price by means of wire transfer are urged to contact the Subscription Agent at 1-888-789-8415 to advise the Subscription Agent of their intent to wire funds before sending their wire and to obtain wire instructions. This will ensure prompt and accurate credit upon receipt of such wire. Please contact the information agent for further information.
7. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE DELIVERY OF SERIES C LIBERTY SIRIUSXM RIGHTS THROUGH THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY.
If you are a broker, a dealer, a trustee or a depositary for securities who holds shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock for the account of others as a nominee holder, you may, upon proper showing to the Subscription Agent, exercise your beneficial owners’ Basic Subscription Privilege and Oversubscription Privilege through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). You may exercise Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights held through DTC through DTC’s PSOP Function on the “agents subscription over PTS” procedures and instructing DTC to charge the applicable DTC account for the Subscription Price and to deliver such amount to the Subscription Agent. DTC must receive the subscription instructions and payment for the new shares by the Expiration Time unless guaranteed delivery procedures are utilized.
