Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On May 17, 2010 Liberty Media, LLC (“Liberty”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation, announced that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 14, 2010 the early tender date, it has received tenders of $518,448,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.70% Senior Notes due 2013(the “Notes”), pursuant to Liberty’s previously announced cash tender offer for the Notes.  This represents approximately 64% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, which are attributed to the Liberty Interactive group.  Because the aggregate amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn, to date, is greater than the $400 million aggregate principal amount under the cash tender offer the Notes will be tendered on a prorated basis as described in the offer to purchase, dated May 3, 2010.

 

This Form 8-K and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 are being furnished to the SEC under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K in satisfaction of the public disclosure requirements of Regulation FD and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose.
