As of March 31, 2014, no shares of any Series C Liberty Interactive or Liberty Ventures common stock were issued or outstanding.
On February 27, 2014, Liberty's board approved a two for one stock split of Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, effected by means of a dividend. The stock split was done in order to bring Liberty into compliance with a Nasdaq listing requirement regarding the minimum number of publicly held shares of the Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. In the stock split, a dividend was paid on April 11, 2014 of one share of Series A or Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to holders of each share of Series A or Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively, held by them as of 5:00 pm, New York City time, on April 4, 2014. Due to the Liberty Ventures common stock split being completed prior to the issuance of these financial statements the stock split was recorded retroactively for all periods presented.
