Atlanta Braves: Good Start To The Year And Good Transactions

The Q1 financial performance for Atlanta Braves Holdings matched the teams' hot start to the season, 4th best record in the National League. Baseball revenue was steady, real estate growth has been strong, with losses slightly higher due to player salaries and expenses. Comparable transactions in baseball and basketball show the Braves' valuation is laughably cheap, with the potential for a future sale due to high team values in other leagues.

For presentation purposes on page one of this release, we include the results of SiriusXM, as reported by SiriusXM, without regard to the purchase accounting adjustments applied by us for purposes of our financial statements. Liberty Media believes the presentation of financial results as reported by SiriusXM is useful to investors as the comparability of those results is best understood in the context of SiriusXM's historical financial presentation. The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group consist primarily of Liberty Media’s interests in SiriusXM, which includes its subsidiary Pandora, and an investment in Live Nation. FORMULA ONE GROUP – The following table provides the financial results attributed to the Formula One Group for the first quarter of 2023. In the first quarter, the Formula One Group incurred approximately $16 million of corporate level selling, general and administrative expense (including stock-based compensation expense). “The F1 season is off to a fantastic start, with thrilling races to-date and many more to come on our record 23-race 2023 calendar. The race weekends are drawing huge crowds, with the Australian Grand Prix hosting 445,000 fans and sellouts for the majority of the remaining calendar,” said Stefano Domenicali, Formula 1 President and CEO. “The power of our platform continues to draw interest also from commercial partners, with a number of new and expanded sponsors already announced season-to-date.” 1Q22 1Q23 amounts in millions Formula One Group Revenue Formula 1 $ 360 $ 381 Total Formula One Group $ 360 $ 381 Operating Income (Loss) Formula 1 $ 34 $ 35 Corporate and other (15 ) (19 ) Total Formula One Group $ 19 $ 16 Adjusted OIBDA (Loss) Formula 1 $ 122 $ 117 Corporate and other (10 ) (12 ) Total Formula One Group $ 112 $ 105 The following table provides the operating results of Formula 1 (“F1”). F1 Operating Results 1Q22 1Q23 % Change amounts in millions Primary Formula 1 revenue $ 287 $ 314 9 % Other Formula 1 revenue 73 67 (8 )% Total Formula 1 revenue $ 360 $ 381 6 % Operating expenses (excluding stock-based compensation): Team payments (100 ) (112 ) (12 )% Other cost of Formula 1 revenue (95 ) (94 ) 1 % Cost of Formula 1 revenue $ (195 ) $ (206 ) (6 )% Selling, general and administrative expenses (43 ) (58 ) (35 )% Adjusted OIBDA $ 122 $ 117 (4 )% Depreciation and Amortization(a) (88 ) (82 ) 7 % Operating income (loss) $ 34 $ 35 3 % Number of races in period 2 2 a) Includes $81 million and $74 million of amortization related to purchase accounting as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively, that is excluded from calculations for purposes of team payments. Primary F1 revenue represents the majority of F1’s revenue and is derived from (i) race promotion revenue, (ii) media rights fees and (iii) sponsorship fees. There were two races held in the first quarter of both 2022 and 2023. There are 23 events scheduled for the 2023 race calendar. Primary F1 revenue increased in the first quarter with growth across media rights, race promotion and sponsorship. Media rights revenue increased due to continued growth in F1 TV subscription revenue and increased fees under new and renewed contractual agreements. Race promotion revenue grew due to contractual increases in fees, and sponsorship revenue increased due to the recognition of revenue from new sponsors and growth in revenue from existing sponsors. Other F1 revenue decreased in the first quarter primarily due to lower freight income driven by the easing of freight cost inflation on billing rates, partially offset by increased hospitality revenue from higher Paddock Club attendance. Operating income was relatively flat and adjusted OIBDA(2) decreased in the first quarter. Team payments were higher compared to the prior year due to the pro rata recognition of increased payments across the race season. Other cost of F1 revenue is largely variable in nature and is mostly derived from servicing both Primary and Other F1 revenue opportunities. These costs were relatively flat, as significantly lower freight costs were largely offset by increased Paddock Club costs associated with servicing higher hospitality attendance at the two events held in the first quarter, and higher commissions and partner servicing costs associated with increased Primary F1 revenue streams, including F1 TV subscriptions. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the first quarter due to higher personnel, IT and marketing costs. There were approximately $6 million of costs associated with the planning of the Las Vegas Grand Prix included in selling, general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2023. The Liberty SiriusXM Group has an approximate 0.4% intergroup interest (1.1 million notional shares) in the Formula One Group attributed to it as of April 30, 2023. These shares are not included in the outstanding share count of Formula One Group in Liberty Media’s most recent Form 10-Q. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying this intergroup interest, the Formula One Group outstanding share count as of April 30, 2023 would have been 235 million. The businesses and assets attributed to the Formula One Group consist of Liberty Media’s subsidiary F1, other minority investments and an intergroup interest in the Braves Group. BRAVES GROUP - The following table provides the financial results attributed to the Braves Group for the first quarter of 2023. In the first quarter, approximately $6 million of corporate level selling, general and administrative expense (including stock-based compensation expense) was allocated to the Braves Group. 1Q22 1Q23 amounts in millions Braves Group Revenue Corporate and other $ 23 $ 31 Operating Income (Loss) Corporate and other $ (40 ) $ (49 ) Adjusted OIBDA (Loss) Corporate and other $ (19 ) $ (31 ) The following table provides the operating results of Braves Holdings, LLC (“Braves”). 1Q22 1Q23 % Change amounts in millions Baseball revenue $ 11 $ 18 64 % Mixed-use development revenue 12 13 8 % Total revenue 23 31 35 % Operating expenses (excluding stock-based compensation included below): Operating expenses (23 ) (39 ) (70 )% Selling, general and administrative expenses (17 ) (18 ) (6 )% Adjusted OIBDA $ (17 ) $ (26 ) (53 )% Stock-based compensation (2 ) (2 ) — % Depreciation and Amortization (18 ) (15 ) 17 % Operating income (loss) $ (37 ) $ (43 ) (16 )% Number of home games in period — — Baseball revenue is derived from two primary sources: (i) ballpark event revenue (ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees) and (ii) broadcasting revenue (including national and local broadcast rights). Mixed-use development revenue is derived from the Battery Atlanta mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income. In December 2021, the Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”), which requires MLB clubs to sign players using a uniform contract, expired and MLB commenced a lockout of the Major League players. As a result of the lockout, the start of the 2022 regular season was delayed and the number of spring training games played was reduced. The start of the 2023 season was not impacted by these factors and a full spring training schedule took place. No regular season home games were played in the first quarter of 2023 nor the prior year period. Baseball revenue increased in the first quarter due to more spring training home games and additional special events held at the ballpark compared to the prior year period. Development revenue increased during the first quarter due to increases in rental income related to tenant recoveries. Operating income and adjusted OIBDA decreased in the first quarter. Revenue growth was more than offset by increased operating costs due to higher player salaries, as player salary expense was not recognized in the prior year period due to the delayed start of the season, as well as higher levels of MLB shared expenses, baseball operations expenses and facility and game day expenses for spring training games. Selling, general and administrative expense increased modestly due to increased promotion and marketing initiatives and higher personnel costs. The Formula One Group has an approximate 11.0% intergroup interest (6.8 million notional shares) and the Liberty SiriusXM Group has an approximate 2.9% intergroup interest (1.8 million notional shares) in the Braves Group attributed to them as of April 30, 2023. These shares are not included in the outstanding share count of the Braves Group in Liberty Media’s most recent Form 10-Q. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying these intergroup interests, the Braves Group outstanding share count as of April 30, 2023 would have been 62 million. The businesses and assets attributed to the Braves Group consist primarily of Liberty Media’s subsidiary the Braves, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club and certain assets and liabilities associated with the Braves’ ballpark and mixed-use development. Share Repurchases There were no repurchases of Liberty Media’s common stock (NASDAQ: LSXMA, LSXMB, LSXMK, FWONA, FWONK, BATRA, BATRK) from February 1, 2023 through April 30, 2023. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media as of May 1, 2023 is approximately $1.1 billion and can be applied to repurchases of common shares of any of the Liberty Media Corporation tracking stocks. FOOTNOTES 1) Liberty Media will discuss these headlines and other matters on Liberty Media's earnings conference call that will begin at 9:30 a.m. (E.T.) on May 5, 2023. For information regarding how to access the call, please see “Important Notice” later in this document. 2) For definitions of Adjusted OIBDA (as defined by Liberty Media) and adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow (as defined by SiriusXM) and applicable reconciliations see the accompanying schedules.

Fair Value of Intergroup Assets and Liabilities The intergroup interests represent quasi-equity interests which are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group have attributed interests in the Braves Group, which are generally stated in terms of a number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock, and the Liberty SiriusXM Group also has an attributed interest in the Formula One Group, which is generally stated in terms of a number of shares of Liberty Formula One common stock. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests are marked to fair value. The changes in fair value are recorded in the unrealized gains (losses) on the intergroup interest line item in the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the previously announced split-off of Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc., the intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group and Formula One Group will be settled and extinguished in connection with the split-off. The Braves Group will attribute shares of New BATRA and New BATRK to Liberty SiriusXM Group and Formula One Group, respectively, on a one-for-one basis equal to the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest attributed to each immediately prior to the split-off.

Liberty Media, SiriusXM, F1 and the Braves are in compliance with their debt covenants as of March 31, 2023. Total cash and cash equivalents attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $68 million in the first quarter as net debt repayment at Liberty SiriusXM Group (described below) and return of capital at SiriusXM were more than offset by cash received from the settlement of a portion of the Formula One Group intergroup interest held at Liberty SiriusXM Group (described below), cash from operations at SiriusXM and borrowings under the revolving credit facility at SiriusXM. Included in the cash and cash equivalents balance attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group at March 31, 2023 is $53 million held at SiriusXM. Although SiriusXM is a consolidated subsidiary, it is a separate public company with a non-controlling interest, therefore Liberty Media does not have ready access to SiriusXM’s cash balance. Liberty SiriusXM Group received $77 million of dividends from SiriusXM during the quarter. Total debt attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group decreased $73 million during the quarter. During the first quarter, Liberty SiriusXM Group issued $575 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% LSXMA convertible notes due 2028 and used net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand, to repurchase (i) $591 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.375% cash convertible notes due 2023 and (ii) $112 million aggregate adjusted principal amount of its 2.125% exchangeable debentures due 2048, for a total cost of $774 million. In addition to proceeds from the convertible notes, Liberty SiriusXM Group received (i) $39 million of net proceeds from the settlement of the bond hedge and warrants related to the portion of the 1.375% cash convertible notes repurchased and (ii) $202 million of cash from the Formula One Group in exchange for the cancellation of 3.1 million notional shares underlying a portion of the intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by Liberty SiriusXM Group (equivalent to the FWONA common stock underlying the portion of the 1.375% cash convertible notes repurchased). In addition, subsequent to quarter end in April 2023, Liberty SiriusXM Group paid $275 million to settle the remaining amount outstanding of its 2.125% exchangeable debentures due 2048, which was funded with cash on hand. Total cash and cash equivalents attributed to the Formula One Group decreased $149 million during the quarter as cash from operations at F1 was more than offset by $202 million paid to Liberty SiriusXM Group in exchange for the cancellation of 3.1 million FWONA shares underlying the intergroup interest (described above), $120 million of exchange-traded funds purchased that are expected to be attributed to the Liberty Live Group after the completion of the previously announced reclassification of tracking stocks and capital expenditures related to the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Total debt at Formula One Group decreased $32 million in the first quarter primarily due to the January 2023 settlement of the remaining 1% FWONK cash convertible notes. Pursuant to F1’s credit facilities agreement, the margin on its existing Term Loan B will be permanently reduced from 3.25% to 3.00% after the first quarter as a result of F1’s leverage as defined in its credit facilities for covenant calculations falling below a certain threshold. Total cash and cash equivalents attributed to the Braves Group increased $64 million during the quarter due to cash from operations. Total debt attributed to the Braves Group decreased $4 million during the first quarter primarily due to repayment under the ballpark senior secured note.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES SCHEDULE 1 To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the Liberty SiriusXM Group, the Braves Group and the Formula One Group, together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Media defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and other related costs and impairment charges. Liberty Media believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because Adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Liberty Media views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty Media's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA for Liberty Media to operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. QUARTERLY SUMMARY (amounts in millions) 1Q22 1Q23 Liberty SiriusXM Group Operating income $ 484 $ 373 Depreciation and amortization 152 161 Stock compensation expense 49 48 Impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries(a) — 32 Adjusted OIBDA $ 685 $ 614 Formula One Group Operating income $ 19 $ 16 Depreciation and amortization 90 84 Stock compensation expense 3 5 Adjusted OIBDA $ 112 $ 105 Braves Group Operating income $ (40 ) $ (49 ) Depreciation and amortization 18 15 Stock compensation expense 3 3 Adjusted OIBDA $ (19 ) $ (31 ) Liberty Media Corporation (Consolidated) Operating income $ 463 $ 340 Depreciation and amortization 260 260 Stock compensation expense 55 56 Impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries(a) — 32 Adjusted OIBDA $ 778 $ 688 (a) During the three months ended March 31, 2023, SiriusXM recorded $23 million associated with severance and other employee costs and $9 million primarily related to a vacated office space. These charges have been excluded from adjusted OIBDA. SCHEDULE 2 This press release also includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA of SiriusXM, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by SiriusXM, together with a reconciliation to SiriusXM's stand-alone net income, as determined under GAAP. SiriusXM defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. SiriusXM adjusts EBITDA to exclude the impact of other expense (income) as well as certain other charges discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or adjusts for (if applicable): (i) loss on extinguishment of debt, (ii) share-based payment expense, (iii) impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, (iv) legal settlements/reserves and (v) other significant operating expense (income) that do not relate to the on-going performance of SiriusXM’s business. SiriusXM believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the underlying trend of its operating performance, which provides useful information about its business apart from the costs associated with its capital structure and purchase price accounting. SiriusXM believes investors find this Non-GAAP financial measure useful when analyzing past operating performance with current performance and comparing SiriusXM’s operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. SiriusXM believes investors use adjusted EBITDA to estimate current enterprise value and to make investment decisions. As a result of large capital investments in SiriusXM’s satellite radio system, its results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation expense. SiriusXM believes the exclusion of share-based payment expense is useful as it is not directly related to the operational conditions of its business. SiriusXM also believes the exclusion of the legal settlements and reserves, impairment, restructuring and acquisition related costs, and loss on extinguishment of debt, to the extent they occur during the period, is useful as they are significant expenses not incurred as part of its normal operations for the period. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to SiriusXM’s statements of comprehensive income of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense. SiriusXM endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the Non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the Non-GAAP measure. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate SiriusXM’s operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net income as disclosed in SiriusXM’s unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure, SiriusXM’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of net income to the adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows: Unaudited For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 ($ in millions) Net income: $ 309 $ 233 Add back items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA: Impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs(a) — 32 Share-based payment expense 45 45 Depreciation and amortization 135 136 Interest expense 103 107 Other expense (income) (2 ) (3 ) Income tax (benefit) expense 100 75 Adjusted EBITDA $ 690 $ 625 (a) During the three months ended March 31, 2023, SiriusXM recorded $23 million associated with severance and other employee costs and $9 million primarily related to a vacated office space. These charges have been excluded from adjusted OIBDA. SCHEDULE 3 This press release also includes a presentation of free cash flow of SiriusXM, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by SiriusXM, together with a reconciliation to SiriusXM's stand-alone cash flow provided by operating activities, as determined under GAAP. SiriusXM’s free cash flow is derived from cash flow provided by operating activities, net of additions to property and equipment and purchases of other investments. Free cash flow is a metric that SiriusXM’s management and board of directors use to evaluate the cash generated by its operations, net of capital expenditures and other investment activity. In a capital intensive business, with significant investments in satellites, SiriusXM looks at its operating cash flow, net of these investing cash outflows, to determine cash available for future subscriber acquisition and capital expenditures, to repurchase or retire debt, to acquire other companies and to evaluate its ability to return capital to stockholders. SiriusXM excludes from free cash flow certain items that do not relate to the on-going performance of its business, such as cash flows related to acquisitions, strategic and short-term investments and net loan activity with related parties and other equity investees. SiriusXM believes free cash flow is an indicator of the long-term financial stability of its business. Free cash flow, which is reconciled to "Net cash provided by operating activities," is a Non-GAAP financial measure. This measure can be calculated by deducting amounts under the captions "Additions to property and equipment" and deducting or adding Restricted and other investment activity from "Net cash provided by operating activities" from the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. Free cash flow should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures and may not be comparable to free cash flow measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow should be viewed as a supplemental measure rather than an alternative measure of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is limited and does not represent remaining cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt maturities. SiriusXM believes free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding its current cash flow, along with other GAAP measures (such as cash flows from operating and investing activities), to determine its financial condition, and to compare its operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media companies. Free cash flow is calculated as follows: Unaudited For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2023 ($ in millions) Cash flow information Net cash provided by operating activities $ 355 $ 350 Net cash used in investing activities $ (142 ) $ (235 ) Net cash used in financing activities $ (328 ) $ (119 ) Free cash flow Net cash provided by operating activities $ 355 $ 350 Additions to property and equipment (97 ) (205 ) Purchases of other investments — (1 ) Free cash flow $ 258 $ 144

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) (NASDAQ: LSXMA, LSXMB, LSXMK, FWONA, FWONK, BATRA, BATRK) today announced the payment of a quarterly interest payment and an Excess Regular Additional Distribution to the holders as of March 15, 2023 of its 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 (the “Debentures”). The amount of the quarterly interest payment is $5.3125 per $1,000 original principal amount of Debentures, and the amount of the Excess Regular Additional Distribution is $1.6459 per $1,000 original principal amount of Debentures. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate adjusted principal amount outstanding is approximately $275 million, after giving effect to today’s quarterly interest payment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Indenture for the Debentures. Under the Indenture for the Debentures, the original principal amount of the Debentures is reduced in an amount equal to each Extraordinary Additional Distribution that is made to holders of the Debentures. Thereafter, the adjusted principal amount is further reduced on each successive quarterly interest payment date to the extent necessary to cause the quarterly interest payment to represent the payment of an annualized yield of 2.125% of the adjusted principal amount. This latter adjustment, to the extent it is made by reason of a particular Extraordinary Additional Distribution that results in a reduction to the principal amount of the Debentures, takes effect on the second succeeding interest payment date after the payment of that Extraordinary Additional Distribution. To date, Liberty has made one Extraordinary Additional Distribution to holders of the Debentures. As previously announced, on March 4, 2022, Liberty made an Extraordinary Additional Distribution of $31.1731 per $1,000 original principal amount of Debentures, which was attributable to the special cash dividend paid on February 25, 2022 by Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“SIRI”) to holders of its common stock of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2022. Reductions to the principal amount of the Debentures do not affect the amount of the quarterly interest payments received by holders of the Debentures, which will continue to be a rate equal to 2.125% per annum of the original principal amount of the Debentures. Below is a detail of the amount of the quarterly interest payment being made on the Debentures, its allocation between payment of interest and repayment of principal and the revised adjusted principal amount of the Debentures resulting from such payment, per $1,000 original principal amount of the Debentures: March 31, 2023 Beginning Adjusted Principal Payment Interest Payment of Principal March 31, 2023 Ending Adjusted Principal $968.3274 $5.3125 $5.1442 $0.1683 $968.1592 Liberty is also making an Excess Regular Additional Distribution to holders of the Debentures as of March 15, 2023 of $1.6459 per Debenture, which is attributable to the regular quarterly dividend paid by SIRI of $0.0242 per share on February 24, 2023. The payment of the Excess Regular Additional Distribution will not result in a reduction to the adjusted principal amount of the Debentures. The quarterly interest payment and Excess Regular Additional Distribution are expected to be made on March 31, 2023 to holders of record of the Debentures as of March 15, 2023.

Liberty Media Corporation Closes Private Offering of $575 Million of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2028

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) (NASDAQ: LSXMA, LSXMB, LSXMK, BATRA, BATRK, FWONA, FWONK) announced today that it has closed its previously announced private offering of $575 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), including notes with an aggregate principal amount of $75 million issued pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the initial purchasers, which was exercised in full. The Notes will be convertible into shares of Liberty’s Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock (“LSXMA”), which may be settled at Liberty’s election in LSXMA, cash or a combination thereof. Prior to December 15, 2027, the Notes will be convertible at the option of holders only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and on and after December 15, 2027, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Notes will have an initial conversion rate of 25.9000 shares of LSXMA per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, representing an initial conversion price of approximately $38.61 for each share of LSXMA, which represents a conversion premium of approximately 30% to the last reported sale price of $29.70 per share of LSXMA on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 7, 2023. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2023. Liberty may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to certain limitations), at its option, on or after March 20, 2026, if the last reported sale price of LSXMA has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Liberty provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Liberty expects to use the proceeds of the offering, together with the other cash amounts as described below, to repurchase a total of approximately $591 million in aggregate principal amount of Liberty’s existing 1.375% cash convertible notes due 2023 (the “1.375% Cash Convertible Notes”) and approximately $112 million in aggregate adjusted principal amount of Liberty’s existing 2.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048 at a cost of $774 million. In addition to the net proceeds of the offering, Liberty expects to use $39 million of net proceeds from the proportional termination and unwinding of the related bond hedges and warrants that Liberty entered into in connection with the issuance of the 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes and $170 million of cash attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group, including cash to be received over time from the Liberty Formula One Group in connection with the settlement and extinguishment of approximately 3.1 million notional shares represented by the intergroup interest in the Liberty Formula One Group that is attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group (which is equivalent to the number of shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock underlying the repurchased 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes) to fund such repurchases. In connection with the offer and sale of the Notes, the repurchases of the 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes and the proportional termination and unwinding of the related bond hedges and warrants, certain financial intermediaries entered into various derivative and other transactions with respect to the shares of LSXMA, FWONA and BATRA and those financial intermediaries may purchase shares of LSXMA, FWONA and BATRA subsequent to the issuance of the Notes. The net effect of these activities could have caused an increase (or reduced the size of any decrease) in the market price of LSXMA (and of FWONA and BATRA) at the time of the pricing of the Notes and may continue to have an impact at such subsequent times, which may affect the trading price of the Notes. The Notes (and any shares of LSXMA issuable on conversion of the Notes) will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes were offered by means of an offering memorandum solely to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” pursuant to, and as that term is defined in, Rule 144A of the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of any of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state. Forward-Looking Statements This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the use of proceeds. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws.

Liberty Media Corporation Proposes Private Offering of Convertible Senior Notes

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) (NASDAQ: LSXMA, LSXMB, LSXMK, BATRA, BATRK, FWONA, FWONK) announced today that it intends to offer $500 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) in a private offering. Liberty also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $75 million principal amount of Notes. The Notes will be convertible into shares of Liberty’s Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock (“LSXMA”), which may be settled at Liberty’s election in LSXMA, cash or a combination thereof. The Notes, as well as the associated cash proceeds, will be attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Liberty, and interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering. Liberty expects to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under Liberty Siri MarginCo, LLC’s margin loan that are in each case attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, to make repurchases of Liberty’s existing 1.375% cash convertible notes due 2023 (the “1.375% Cash Convertible Notes”) pursuant to individually privately negotiated transactions (the cost of which is expected to be partially offset by the proceeds from the proportional termination and unwinding of the related bond hedges and warrants that Liberty entered into in connection with the issuance of such notes), to settle exchanges or repurchases of, or to redeem, Liberty’s existing 2.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048 (the “2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures”) in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such debentures, and for general corporate purposes. Liberty expects that the number of shares of LSXMA into which the Notes would be convertible will be less than the number of shares of LSXMA underlying the outstanding 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes, based on the last reported sale price of $31.44 per share of LSXMA on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 6, 2023 and an aggregate principal amount of the Notes of $575 million (assuming the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes described above). In connection with the offer and sale of the Notes and any repurchases of the 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023, Liberty expects to proportionally terminate and unwind the related bond hedges and warrants. In connection with such termination and unwind and any repurchases of the 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023, Liberty expects certain financial intermediaries may enter into various derivative and other transactions with respect to the shares of LSXMA, FWONA and BATRA underlying such notes and related bond hedge and warrant transactions concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. In addition, in connection with the settlement from time to time of certain of such derivative transactions, Liberty expects that the financial intermediaries may purchase shares of LSXMA, FWONA and BATRA subsequent to the issuance of the Notes. The net effect of these activities could cause an increase (or reduce the size of any decrease) in the market price of LSXMA (and of FWONA and BATRA) at the time of the pricing of the Notes and at such subsequent times, which may affect the trading price of the Notes. The Notes (and any shares of LSXMA issuable on conversion of the Notes) will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered by means of an offering memorandum solely to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” pursuant to, and as that term is defined in, Rule 144A of the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of any of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state. Forward-Looking Statements This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the intended launch of a private offering of Notes, the size of the offering, the number of shares into which the Notes would be convertible, the use of proceeds therefrom, expected repurchases, exchanges or redemptions of existing indebtedness and the sources of funds therefor and expected derivative transactions (and the impact such transactions may have on the trading prices of LSXMA, FWONA and BATRA). All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws.
