INVESTMENT SUMMARY
Libertymedia.com/about/asset-list
Based on publicly available information as of April 30, 2023
Liberty Media Corporation owns interests in a broad range of media, communications and entertainment businesses.
The following tables set forth some of Liberty Media Corporation’s assets that may be held directly or indirectly through partnerships, joint ventures, common stock investments and/or instruments convertible into common stock. Ownership percentages in the tables are approximate and, where applicable, assume conversion to common stock by Liberty Media Corporation and, to the extent known by Liberty Media Corporation, other holders. In some cases, Liberty Media Corporation’s interest may be subject to buy/sell procedures, repurchase rights or dilution.
When one of Liberty Media Corporation’s tracking stock groups has attributed to it an interest in another of our tracking stock groups, that interest is referred to as an “intergroup interest”. An intergroup interest held by one tracking stock group in another tracking stock group does not consist of outstanding shares, though the intergroup interest is denominated by a number of notional shares in such other tracking stock group. Those notional shares are listed under the attributed share count for such intergroup interest and are used to calculate the attributed ownership percentage for such intergroup interest.
Liberty Media Corporation’s ownership interests are currently attributed to three tracking stock groups: the Braves Group, Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, as set forth in the tables below.
Pursuant to the Form S-4 filed on June 8, 2023, Liberty Media Corporation intends to reclassify its outstanding shares of common stock into three new tracking stock groups: the Formula One Group, Liberty Live Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group.
The following tables also set forth the pro forma attribution of some of Liberty Media Corporation’s assets that may be held directly or indirectly through partnerships, joint ventures, common stock investments and/or instruments convertible into common stock pursuant to the new tracking stock groups. All intergroup interests are assumed to be settled prior to or in connection with the split-off of the Braves Group.
