Liberty Announces New Proposed Distribution Date for Spin-off of CommerceHub
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., July 8, 2016. Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty") (Nasdaq: QVCA, QVCB, LVNTA, LVNTB), announced today a new proposed distribution date in connection with its upcoming spin-off (the "Spin-off") of its subsidiary CommerceHub, Inc. ("CH Parent"). Because CH Parent’s registration statement for the Spin-Off is still under review with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the new proposed distribution date will be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 22, 2016 (previously announced as July 13, 2016). The record date will remain 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 8, 2016.
In the Spin-off, Liberty will distribute, by means of a dividend (the "Distribution"), to holders of its Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock (i) 0.1 of a share of the corresponding series of CH Parent common stock and (ii) 0.2 of a share of CH Parent Series C common stock, in each case, for each share of Liberty Ventures common stock held as of the record date.
Liberty expects that the CH Parent Series A and Series C common stock will begin trading in the "regular way" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols "CHUBA" and "CHUBK," and that the CH Parent Series B common stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol "CHUBB," in each case, beginning on July 25, 2016.
The completion of the Spin-off remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of a number of conditions. Additional information relating to the Spin-off, including the ex-dividend date of the Distribution and when-issued trading, will be announced once available.
