Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 6, 2010, Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) announced that it and its subsidiary Liberty Media, LLC have filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against The Bank of New York (“BNY”), in BNY’s capacity as trustee under the indenture governing Liberty Media, LLC’s public indebtedness. The suit, which also seeks injunctive relief, seeks a declaratory judgment by the court that the previously announced plan to split-off (the “Split-Off”) the businesses, assets and liabilities currently attributed to Liberty’s Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups will not constitute a disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Liberty Media, LLC under the indenture. Information related to the suit against BNY and its effect on the Split-Off is set forth in the Press Release filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
