Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On August 8, 2012, Liberty Interactive Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Earnings Release”) setting forth information, including financial information regarding certain of its privately held assets, which is intended to supplement the financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2012.
This Item 2.02 and the Earnings Release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, insofar as they disclose historical information regarding the Company's results of operations or financial condition for the six months ended June 30, 2012, are being furnished to the SEC.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Securities Holders
On August 9, 2012, the Company completed a previously announced transaction whereby it recapitalized its common stock into two tracking stocks, the Liberty Interactive tracking stock and the Liberty Ventures tracking stock (the “recapitalization”). In order to effect the recapitalization, on August 9, 2012, the Company filed its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Charter”) with the Delaware Secretary of State after the market close. The Restated Charter provided for the recapitalization of the Company's Liberty Interactive common stock into the Company's Series A Liberty Interactive common stock, Series B Liberty Interactive common stock, Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock (the “Company Common Stock”). The Restated Charter sets forth the terms of the Company Common Stock and describes the rights of holders of the Company Common Stock. Liberty Interactive common stock now tracks the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Company's Liberty Interactive group, while Liberty Ventures common stock now tracks the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Company's Liberty Ventures common stock. The Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on August 10, 2012 under the symbols “LVNTA,” and “LVNTB.” The Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols “LINTA” and “LINTB.”
The sections of Amendment No. 3 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the SEC on June 29, 2012, entitled “Description of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock Under Our Restated Charter and Comparison to Existing Liberty Interactive Common Stock Under Our Current Charter” and “Other Provisions of the Restated Charter,” which describe certain provisions of the Restated Charter, are incorporated herein by reference. These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Charter, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3.1 to this report on Form 8-K.
