To Our Clients:
Enclosed for your consideration is an offer to purchase, dated
March 7, 2007, and related letter of transmittal in
connection with a tender offer being conducted by Liberty Media
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Liberty Media).
Liberty Media is offering (the Tender Offer) to
purchase for cash up to 8,849,500 shares of its Liberty
Capital Series A and Series B common stock from its
stockholders at a purchase price not greater than
$113.00 per share or less than $105.00 per share, net
to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes,
without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer will be conducted upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to
purchase, dated March 7, 2007, and the letter of
transmittal. The shares of Liberty Capital Series and
Series B common stock are referred to as the
Shares.
On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer,
Liberty Media will determine the single per share price, not
greater than $113.00 or less than $105.00 per Share, net to
the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and
without interest, that Liberty Media will pay for Shares
properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Tender
Offer, taking into account the total number of Shares so
tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders.
Liberty Media will select the lowest purchase price that will
allow it to purchase 8,849,500 Shares pursuant to the
Tender Offer, or such fewer number of Shares as are properly
tendered and not properly withdrawn. The purchase price for the
shares of Liberty Capital Series A and Series B common
stock will be identical.
Liberty Media will purchase at the purchase price all shares of
Liberty Capital Series A and Series B common stock
properly tendered before the expiration date (as specified in
the offer to purchase) at prices at or below the purchase price
and not validly withdrawn, net to the seller in cash, without
interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Tender Offer, including the odd lot, proration and
conditional tender provisions thereof. See Section 1 of the
offer to purchase. Shares tendered at prices in excess of the
purchase price and Shares that Liberty Media does not accept for
purchase because of the odd lot priority, proration and
conditional tender provisions will be returned at Liberty
Medias expense to the stockholders who tendered such
Shares, as promptly as practicable after the expiration date.
Liberty Media expressly reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to purchase more than 8,849,500 Shares in the
Tender Offer, subject to applicable law.
If, at the expiration date, more than 8,849,500 Shares (or
such greater number of Shares as Liberty Media may elect to
purchase) are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or
below the purchase price for the Shares, Liberty Media will
purchase 8,849,500 Shares (or such greater number), on the
following basis:
first, from all of the holders of odd lots of
less than 100 Shares who properly tender all of their
Shares at or below the purchase price and do not properly
withdraw them before the expiration date;
second, from all other stockholders who properly tender
Shares at or below the purchase price and do not properly
withdraw them, on a pro rata basis (except for stockholders who
tendered Shares conditionally if the condition was not
satisfied); and
third, only if necessary to permit Liberty Media to
purchase 8,849,500 Shares (or such greater number of Shares
as Liberty Media may elect to accept for payment, subject to
applicable law), from stockholders who have conditionally
tendered Shares at or below the purchase price and do not
properly withdraw them (if the condition was not initially
satisfied) by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible
for purchase by random lot, stockholders whose Shares are
conditionally tendered must have tendered all of their Shares.
We are the owner of record of Liberty Capital Series A
shares
and/or
Series B shares held for your account. As such, we are the
only ones who can tender your Liberty Capital Series A
shares
and/or
Series B shares, and we may do so only pursuant to your
instructions. WE ARE SENDING YOU THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR
YOUR INFORMATION ONLY; YOU CANNOT USE THEM TO TENDER
SHARES WE HOLD FOR YOUR ACCOUNT.
Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender any or
all of the Liberty Capital Series A shares
and/or
Series B shares we hold for your account on the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer.
We call your attention to the following:
1. The purchase price will be no greater than
$113.00 per Share nor less than $105.00 per Share, net
to you in cash, without interest.
2. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum
number of Shares being tendered. The Tender Offer is, however,
subject to certain other conditions set forth in Section 7
of the offer to purchase.
3. The Tender Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights
will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
April 5, 2007, unless Liberty Media extends the Tender
Offer.
4. The Tender Offer is for 8,849,500 shares of Liberty
Capital Series A and Series B common stock,
constituting approximately 6.3% and 1.1% of Liberty Medias
outstanding shares of Liberty Capital common stock and common
stock of all series of Liberty Media, respectively, outstanding
as of January 31, 2007.
5. If you hold beneficially or of record an aggregate of
fewer than 100 Shares, and you instruct us to tender on
your behalf all such shares at or below the purchase price
before the expiration date, Liberty Media, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, will accept all
such Shares for purchase before proration, if any, of the
purchase of other Shares, properly tendered at or below the
purchase price. To make such an instruction, complete the
section captioned Odd Lots in the attached
Instruction Form.
6. If you wish to tender portions of your Shares at
different prices, you must complete a separate
Instruction Form for each price at which you wish to tender
each such portion of your Shares, as the case may be. We must
submit separate letters of transmittal on your behalf for each
price you will accept for each portion tendered.
7. If you wish to condition your tender upon the purchase
of all Shares tendered by you or upon Liberty Medias
purchase of a specified minimum number of such Shares that you
tender, you may elect to do so and thereby avoid possible
proration of your tender. Liberty Medias purchase of
Shares from all tenders which are so conditioned, to the extent
necessary, will be determined by random lot. To elect such a
condition, complete the section captioned Conditional
Tender in the attached Instruction Form. To be
eligible for purchase by random lot, beneficial holders whose
Shares (as the case may be) are conditionally tendered must have
tendered all of their Shares.
8. The board of directors of Liberty Media has approved the
Tender Offer. However, neither Liberty Media nor its board of
directors makes any recommendation to stockholders as to whether
to tender or refrain from tendering their Shares. Stockholders
must make their own decision as to whether to tender their
Shares and, if so, how many Shares to tender and at what price.
If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Liberty Capital
Series A
and/or
Series B shares, please so instruct us by completing,
executing, detaching and returning to us the attached
instruction form. If you authorize us to tender your Shares, we
will tender all such Shares unless you specify otherwise on the
attached instruction form.
YOUR INSTRUCTION FORM FOR SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO US IN
AMPLE TIME TO PERMIT US TO SUBMIT A TENDER ON YOUR BEHALF BEFORE
THE EXPIRATION DATE. THE TENDER OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND
WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY
TIME, ON APRIL 5, 2007, UNLESS LIBERTY MEDIA EXTENDS THE
TENDER OFFER.
2
The Tender Offer is being made solely under the offer to
purchase and the letter of transmittal and is being made to all
record holders of shares of Liberty Capital Series A common
stock and all record holders of shares of Liberty Capital
Series B common stock. The Tender Offer is not being made
to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders
of Shares residing in any jurisdiction in which the making of
the Tender Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in
compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such
jurisdiction. However, Liberty Media may, in its discretion,
take any actions necessary for it to make the Tender Offer to
its stockholders in any such jurisdiction.

The undersigned understands that, on the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Tender Offer, Liberty Media will determine

applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that Liberty
Media will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly
withdrawn in the Tender Offer, taking into account the total

tendering stockholders. Liberty Media will select the lowest
purchase price that will allow it to purchase
8,849,500 Shares pursuant to the Tender Offer, or such
fewer number of Shares as are properly tendered and not properly
withdrawn. The purchase price for the shares of Liberty Capital
Series A and Series B common stock will be identical.

determined by Liberty, your Shares will be deemed to be tendered
at the minimum price of $105.00 per share. You should

checked the following box:
|
|
|
|
o
|
The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.
