Filing of New Charter and Charter Amendment
On June 4, 2015, the Company filed its restated certificate of incorporation (the “new charter”), followed immediately by an amendment to the new charter (the “charter amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State after the market close. The new charter gives effect to the group name change proposal described above, and the charter amendment (i) increases the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company, (ii) increases the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock designated as common stock, (iii) increases the number of shares of common stock designated as Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, (iv) increases the number of shares of common stock designated as Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, and (v) increases the number of shares of common stock designated as Series C Liberty Ventures common stock. The issuance of any such additional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock may increase the aggregate outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock and dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders.
The sections of the Company’s definitive proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2015, entitled “Proposal 2—The Group Name Change Proposal” and “Proposal 3—The Amendment Proposal” are incorporated herein by reference.
