Liberty Media Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

September 30, 2009

 

(unaudited)

 

On November 19, 2009, Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”) completed the redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Media’s Entertainment Group tracking stock for all of the outstanding shares of a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media, Liberty Entertainment, Inc. (“LEI”) (the “Redemption”). The Redemption and the resulting separation of LEI from Liberty Media pursuant to the Redemption are referred to herein as the Split Off.

 

In connection with the Redemption, Liberty Media redeemed 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.

 

Immediately following the Split-Off, LEI and The DIRECTV Group, Inc. completed the DTV Business Combination and each of LEI and DIRECTV have become wholly owned subsidiaries of a new public holding company named DIRECTV (“Holdings”).  In the DTV Business Combination, (i) each share of LEI Series A common stock was exchanged for 1.11130 shares of Holdings Class A common stock, (ii) each share of LEI Series B common stock (other than shares held by John C. Malone, Chairman of the Boards of Liberty Media, LEI and DIRECTV, and certain related persons) was exchanged for 1.11130 shares of Holdings Class A common stock, and (iii) each share of DIRECTV common stock was exchanged for one share of Holdings Class A common stock.  Additionally, immediately prior to the completion of the mergers, Mr. Malone and certain related persons contributed each of their shares of LEI Series B common stock to Holdings for 1.11130 shares of Holdings Class B common stock.

 

At the time of the Split Off, LEI held Liberty Media’s 57% interest in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., a 100% interest in Liberty Sports Holdings, LLC and a 65% interest in Game Show Network, LLC (“GSN”).  In addition, immediately preceding the Split Off, Liberty Media contributed approximately $120 million in cash to LEI.  Also, on the date of the Split Off, LEI repaid $226 million of loans previously borrowed from Liberty Media pursuant to a revolving credit facility.

 

Liberty Media will report the results of operations of LEI as discontinued operations. Because the Split Off was conditioned on, among other matters, satisfaction and waiver of all conditions to the DTV Business Combination, the Split Off and the DTV Business Combination were recorded at fair value and Liberty Media recognized an approximate $5.9 billion gain on such transaction.  Such gain will be included in earnings from discontinued operations in Liberty Media’s statement of operations but is not reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.  The Split Off and the DTV Business Combination are expected to qualify as tax-free transactions under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The following unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Liberty Media dated as of September 30, 2009, assumes that the Split Off had been completed as of such date. The following unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated statements of operations of Liberty Media for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 assume that the Split Off had been completed as of January 1, 2008. The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if such transaction had been completed as of such dates.

(“LEI”) (the “Redemption”). The Redemption and the resulting separation of LEI from Liberty Media pursuant to the Redemption are referred to herein as the Split Off.

 

In connection with the Redemption, Liberty Media redeemed 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.
