        This information statement describes the businesses and assets of our company as though they were our businesses and assets for all historical periods described.

SUMMARY

         The following is a summary of material information discussed in this information statement. It is included for convenience only and should not be considered complete. You should carefully review this entire information statement, including the risk factors, to better understand the Spin-Off and our business and financial position.

Our Company

        Spinco is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media. Immediately following the Spin-Off, we will be primarily engaged in the media, communications and entertainment industries through our ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies. Following the Spin-Off, our principal businesses and assets will include the consolidated subsidiaries Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc. ( ANLBC ) and TruePosition, Inc. ( TruePosition ), equity affiliates Sirius XM Radio Inc. ( Sirius ) and Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. ( Live Nation ) and minority investments in public companies such as Barnes & Noble, Inc. ( Barnes & Noble ), Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc., Viacom Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corporation. In connection with the Spin-Off, it is expected that Starz, LLC will distribute approximately $1.8 billion in cash to Liberty Media, of which $400 million was distributed in the third quarter of 2012. The total amount of the distribution will depend upon the financial performance and cash position of Starz, LLC prior to the Spin-Off. This distributed cash, as reduced by investments of such cash prior to the Spin-Off, will be contributed to Spinco in connection with the Spin-Off.

        The businesses and assets that remain at Starz following the Spin-Off will consist of the premium movie service provider Starz, LLC and its subsidiaries.

        The restructuring of Liberty Media prior to and in connection with the Spin-Off is sometimes referred to herein as the internal restructuring and is provided for in a reorganization agreement to be entered into by our company and Liberty Media. For a description of the reorganization agreement, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Relationships Between Spinco and Liberty Media/Starz and/or Liberty Interactive—Reorganization Agreement."

        When we refer to "our business" in this information statement, we are referring to the business of Spinco and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates following the Spin-Off. Following the Spin-Off, we will be an independent publicly traded company and Starz will not retain any ownership interest in us. In accordance with relevant generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ), Spinco will be treated as the "accounting successor" to Liberty Media Corporation for financial reporting purposes following the Spin-Off (as discussed below). In connection with the Spin-Off, we and Liberty Media/Starz are entering into certain agreements, including the reorganization agreement and a tax sharing agreement, pursuant to which we and Starz will, among other things, indemnify each other against certain liabilities that may arise from our respective businesses. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Relationships Between Spinco and Liberty Media/Starz and/or Liberty Interactive."

        Our principal executive offices are located at 12300 Liberty Blvd., Englewood, Colorado 80112. Our main telephone number is (720) 875-5300.

The Spin-Off

         The following is a brief summary of the terms of the Spin-Off. Please see "The Spin-Off" for a more detailed description of the matters described below.

Q:

What is the Spin-Off?

A:

In the Spin-Off, Liberty Media will distribute to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all the shares of our common stock. Following the Spin-Off, we will be a separate company from Starz, and Starz

1

will not have any ownership interest in us. You are not required to pay any consideration or give up any portion of your Liberty Media common stock to receive shares of our common stock in the Spin-Off.

Q:

Can Liberty Media decide not to complete the Spin-Off?

A:

Yes. Liberty Media's board of directors has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, modify or abandon the Spin-Off and related transactions at any time prior to the distribution date. In addition, the Spin-Off is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, any of which may be waived by the Liberty Media board of directors in its sole discretion. See "The Spin-Off—Conditions to the Spin-Off."

Q:

What will I receive in the Spin-Off?

A:

Holders of LMCA will receive a dividend of one share of our Series A common stock for each whole share of LMCA held by them on the record date and holders of LMCB will receive a dividend of one share of our Series B common stock for each whole share of LMCB held by them on the record date. Thus, no fractional shares of our Series A or Series B common stock will be issued pursuant to the dividend.

Q:

What is being distributed in the Spin-Off?

A:

Approximately 109,953,000 shares of our Series A common stock and 9,898,000 shares of our Series B common stock will be distributed in the Spin-Off, based on the number of shares of LMCA and LMCB outstanding on August 31, 2012. The shares of our common stock to be distributed by Liberty Media will constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately after the distribution.

Q:

When will the Spin-Off be effective?

A:

Liberty Media intends to effect the Spin-Off at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [                    ], 2012 (such date and time, the distribution date ). At such time, holders of Liberty Media common stock as of the record date will receive their shares of Spinco common stock. Following the record date and prior to the distribution date, Liberty Media will cause 100% of our common stock to be placed in a reserve account with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as distribution agent for the Spin-Off, with instructions to distribute such shares on the distribution date.

Q:

When will Liberty Media announce the record and distribution dates for the Spin-Off?

A:

If all conditions to the Spin-Off are satisfied (or, as determined by the Liberty Media board in its sole discretion, to be waived) Liberty Media will announce the record date and distribution date for the Spin-Off by press release. See "The Spin-Off—Conditions to the Spin-Off." Each holder of record of shares of Liberty Media common stock as of the close of business on the record date will be entitled to receive shares of our common stock on the distribution date.

Q:

What other transactions are occurring in connection with the Spin-Off other than those involved in the internal restructuring?

A:

In addition to the internal restructuring and in connection with the Spin-Off, it is expected that a portion of the approximately $1.8 million in cash to be distributed by Starz, LLC to Liberty Media will be funded by a draw down under the Starz, LLC credit facility. The amount of such draw down will depend upon the financial performance and cash position of Starz, LLC at the time of the Spin-Off.

2

Q:

What will the relationship be between Spinco and Starz after the Spin-Off?

A:

Following the Spin-Off, our company and Starz will operate independently, and neither will have any ownership interest in the other. In connection with the Spin-Off, however, we and Liberty Media/Starz (or certain of its subsidiaries) are entering into certain agreements in order to govern the ongoing relationships between our company and Starz after the Spin-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Relationships Between Spinco and Liberty Media/Starz and/or Liberty Interactive" and the financial statements included in this information statement.

Q:

What are the reasons for the Spin-Off?

A:

The Liberty Media board of directors has concluded that the Spin-Off will eliminate the conglomerate or "holding company" discount that it believes is associated with the Liberty Media common stock, by creating a pure play media company built around the Starz, LLC business, and reduce the holding company discount associated with our common stock, since separating the Starz, LLC business will better highlight the discount at which the Liberty Media common stock has traded relative to its underlying asset composition. By reducing the complexity currently involved in understanding the disparate businesses, assets and liabilities within Liberty Media and Spinco, the Spin-Off is expected to enhance the ability of each of Liberty Media and Spinco to issue its equity for strategic acquisitions and other business combinations by creating a more efficiently priced equity security and enable each company to more effectively tailor equity incentives for its management and employees with less dilution to its stockholders. Further, the Liberty Media board of directors has concluded that the optimized capital structures for Liberty Media and Spinco following the Spin-Off will provide each company with greater flexibility to invest in complementary businesses and pursue other strategic objectives or acquisitions.

For a discussion of additional reasons, factors, costs and risks associated with the Spin-Off considered by the Liberty Media board, see "The Spin-Off—Reasons for the Spin-Off."

Q:

What do I have to do to participate in the Spin-Off?

A:

Nothing. Stockholders of Liberty Media on the record date for the Spin-Off are not required to pay any cash or deliver any other consideration, or give up any shares of Liberty Media common stock, to receive the shares of our common stock distributable to them in the Spin-Off.

Q:

Will I receive physical certificates representing shares of Spinco common stock following the distribution?

A:

No. In the distribution, no physical certificates representing shares of Spinco common stock will be delivered to stockholders. Instead, Liberty Media, with the assistance of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ( Computershare ), the distribution agent, will electronically distribute shares of Spinco common stock to you or your bank or brokerage firm on your behalf by way of direct registration in book-entry form. Computershare will mail you a book-entry account statement that reflects your shares of Spinco common stock, or your bank or brokerage firm will credit your account for the shares.

Q:

Will the number of shares of Liberty Media common stock I own change as a result of the Spin-Off?

A:

No. The number of shares of Liberty Media common stock, of either series, you own will not change as a result of the Spin-Off.

3

Q:

Why is Spinco being treated as the "accounting successor" to Liberty Media Corporation for financial reporting purposes?

A:

In accordance with GAAP, Spinco will be treated as the "accounting successor" to Liberty Media Corporation for financial reporting purposes following the Spin-Off due to the relative significance of Spinco to Starz (which is the legal spinnor) and the continued involvement of senior management with Spinco following the Spin-Off. See "Risk Factors—The historical consolidated financial information of Liberty Media and the unaudited condensed pro forma financial information of Spinco included in this information statement are not necessarily representative of Spinco's future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows nor do they reflect what Spinco's financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been as a stand-alone company during the periods presented," "Selected Financial Data" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for more information regarding the effects of this accounting treatment.

Q:

What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Spin-Off?

A:

Liberty Media has made it a condition to the Spin-Off that it receives both a private letter ruling from the IRS (the Ruling ) and the opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP ( Skadden ), in each case to the effect that the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code ) and that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by Liberty Media upon the distribution of our common stock in the Spin-Off, and (ii) no gain or loss will be recognized by, and no amount will be included in the income of, holders of Liberty Media common stock upon the receipt of shares of our common stock in the Spin-Off.

Please see "The Spin-Off—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off" and "Risk Factors—Factors Relating to the Spin-Off—The Spin-Off could result in a significant tax liability" and "—Spinco may have a significant indemnity obligation to Starz, which is not limited in amount or subject to any cap, if the Spin-Off is treated as a taxable transaction" for more information regarding the Ruling, the tax opinion and the potential tax consequences to you of the Spin-Off.

Q:

Does Spinco intend to pay cash dividends?

A:

No. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our businesses. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. All decisions regarding the payment of dividends by our company will be made by our board of directors, from time to time, in accordance with applicable law.

Q:

Where will Spinco common stock trade?

A:

Currently, there is no public market for our common stock. Subject to the consummation of the Spin-Off, we expect to list our Series A common stock and our Series B common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols "LMCA" and "LMCB," respectively, which are the current trading symbols for Liberty Media's Series A and Series B Liberty Capital common stock, respectively.

We expect that our common stock will begin trading on the first trading day following the distribution date. For a short period of time following the Spin-Off, our common stock will trade under temporary trading symbols, which will be announced by press release once available. We cannot predict the trading prices for our common stock when such trading begins.

4

Q:

What will happen to the listing of Liberty Media common stock?

A:

The Series A and Series B Liberty Capital common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market following the Spin-Off. However, the Series A and Series B Liberty Capital common stock, which currently trades under the symbols "LMCA" and "LMCB," respectively, will change its trading symbols to "STRZA" and "STRZB," respectively.

Q:

Will I have appraisal rights in connection with the Spin-Off?

A:

No. Holders of Liberty Media common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Spin-Off.

Q:

Who is the transfer agent for your common stock?

A:

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, telephone: [                ].

Q:

Who is the distribution agent for the Spin-Off?

A:

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021, telephone: [                ].

Q:

Whom can I contact for more information?

A:

If you have questions relating to the mechanics of the distribution, you should contact the distribution agent. Before the Spin-Off, if you have questions relating to the Spin-Off, you should contact the office of Investor Relations of Liberty Media, 12300 Liberty Blvd., Englewood, CO 80112, telephone: (720) 875-5408.

Pursuant to a services agreement to be entered into between our company and Liberty Media, we will provide Starz with investor relations assistance for a period following the Spin-Off. Accordingly, if you have questions relating to Spinco or Starz following the Spin-Off, you should contact the office of Investor Relations of Spinco at the address and telephone number above.

RISK FACTORS

        An investment in our common stock involves risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all the other information included in this information statement, in evaluating our company and our common stock. Any of the following risks, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock. The risks described below and elsewhere in this information statement are not the only ones that relate to our businesses, our capitalization or the Spin-Off. The risks described below are considered to be the most material. However, there may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that also could have material adverse effects on our businesses. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of the events described below were to occur, our businesses, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

        For purposes of these risk factors, unless the context otherwise indicates, we have assumed that the Spin-Off has occurred.

Factors Relating to our Businesses

         The historical consolidated financial information of Liberty Media and the unaudited condensed pro forma financial information of Spinco included in this information statement are not necessarily representative of Spinco's future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows nor do they reflect what Spinco's financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been as a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

        As described elsewhere in this information statement, Spinco will be considered the divesting entity in the Spin-Off and treated as the "accounting successor" to Liberty Media Corporation for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP due to the relative significance of our company to Starz (which is the legal spinnor) and the continued involvement of senior management with Spinco following the Spin-Off. Following the consummation of the Spin-Off, Spinco will report the historical consolidated results of operations of the legacy Starz businesses in discontinued operations. This presentation is generally not permitted until the closing date of the Spin-Off. Because the historical consolidated financial information of Liberty Media included in this information statement includes the results of the legacy Starz business, it is not representative of Spinco's future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows nor does it reflect what Spinco's financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been as a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

        The unaudited condensed pro forma financial information of Spinco included in this information statement includes adjustments to reflect the divestiture of the legacy Starz businesses. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that management of Spinco believes are reasonable; however, such assumptions may not prove to be accurate or are subject to change. In addition, the unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements of Spinco do not give effect to on-going costs that it may incur or may be eliminated in connection with being a stand-alone company. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements of Spinco are not representative of Spinco's future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows nor do they reflect what Spinco's financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been as a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

        In addition, in the third quarter of 2011, Liberty Media completed a split-off (the Split-Off ) from its former parent company, Liberty Interactive Corporation ( Liberty Interactive ). Prior to the Split-Off, the assets, liabilities and businesses of our company at that time were part of the larger Liberty Interactive organization. Hence, portions of Liberty Media's historical financial information were also extracted from Liberty Interactive's consolidated financial statements for the relevant periods prior to the Split-Off. As a result, our historical financial information may not necessarily reflect what our

6

respective results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had we existed as a separate, stand-alone entity pursuing independent strategies during the periods presented.

        Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates depend on their relationships with third party distribution channels, suppliers and advertisers and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our results of operations.     An important component of the success of our subsidiaries and business affiliates, including TruePosition and Sirius, is their ability to maintain their existing, as well as build new, relationships with third party distribution channels, including local and national satellite providers, suppliers, manufacturers, retailers and advertisers, among other parties. Adverse changes in existing relationships or the inability to enter into new arrangements with these parties on favorable terms, if at all, could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.

        Rapid technological advances could render the products and services offered by our subsidiaries and business affiliates obsolete or non-competitive.     Our subsidiaries and business affiliates, including, for example, TruePosition, Sirius, Barnes & Noble and Live Nation, must stay abreast of rapidly evolving technological developments and offerings to remain competitive and increase the utility of their products and services. These subsidiaries and business affiliates must be able to incorporate new technologies into their products and services in order to address the needs of their customers. There can be no assurance that they will be able to compete with advancing technology, and any failure to do so could result in customers seeking alternative service providers thereby adversely impacting our revenue and operating income.

        The business of our affiliate Sirius depends in significant part on the operation of its satellites.     As a satellite radio broadcaster, Sirius' business depends on the lives and proper operation of its satellites. The lives of Sirius' satellites will vary and depend on a number of factors, including degradation and durability of solar panels, quality of construction, damage or destruction for a variety of reasons, and random failure of satellite components. Although Sirius' satellite system provides for backups and insurance in the event of a failure, failures and anomalies are expected to occur in the ordinary course of business and Sirius is unable to predict if any of these possible events will have a material adverse effect on its operations or the life of its existing in-orbit satellites.

        Our subsidiaries and business affiliates are subject to risks of adverse government regulation.     Providers of internet, telephony and satellite service are subject to varying degrees of regulation in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) and other entities and in foreign countries by similar regulators. Such regulation and legislation are subject to the political process and have been in constant flux over the past decade. Material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated, and there can be no assurance that our businesses and assets will not become subject to increased expenses or more stringent restrictions as a result of any future legislation, new regulation or deregulation.

        The success of two of our business affiliates, Sirius and Live Nation, depends on audience acceptance of their programs and services, which is difficult to predict.     Entertainment content production, satellite radio services and live entertainment events are inherently risky businesses because the revenue derived from these businesses depends primarily upon the public's acceptance of these programs and services, which is difficult to predict. The commercial success of a satellite radio program or live entertainment production depends upon the quality and acceptance of competing programs, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which are difficult to predict. In the case of ad-supported programming and satellite radio service, audience size is an important factor when advertising rates are negotiated. Audience size is also an important factor when determining ticket pricing for live entertainment productions. Consequently, low public acceptance of the programs and services offered by Sirius and Live Nation, which we account for as equity affiliates, could hurt the ability of these companies to maintain rates charged to customers, subscribers and, as applicable, advertisers.

7

        Increased programming and content costs may adversely affect profits.     One of our business affiliates, Sirius, produces programming and other content and incurs costs for all types of creative talent including writers, producers and on-air talent. An increase in the costs of programming and other content may lead to decreased profitability.

        Continuingly weak economic conditions may reduce consumer demand for our products and services.     The current economic malaise in the United States could adversely affect demand for our products and services. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. A reduction in discretionary spending could adversely affect revenue through potential downgrades by satellite and cable television subscribers and satellite radio subscribers, affecting Sirius, reduced live-entertainment expenditures, affecting Live Nation and ANLBC, and a slowdown in auto sales (which is an important source of satellite radio subscribers), affecting Sirius. Accordingly, our ability to increase or maintain revenue and earnings could be adversely affected to the extent that relevant economic environments remain weak or decline further. We currently are unable to predict the extent of any of these potential adverse effects.

        The success of one of our subsidiaries, ANLBC, depends in large part on its ability to recruit and retain key persons.     The success of ANLBC depends on the record of the Atlanta Braves Major League baseball team during each season, which is directly impacted by their ability to employ and retain top performing players, coaches and managers. We cannot assure you that if the Atlanta Braves Major League baseball team experiences turnover of these key persons, they will be able to recruit and retain acceptable replacements, in part, because the market for such employees is very competitive and limited.

        The success of our business affiliate, Sirius, depends in large part upon automakers.     Most of Sirius' new subscription growth has come from purchasers and lessees of new and previously owned automobiles. As a result, the sale and lease of vehicles with satellite radios is an important source of subscribers for its satellite radio service. Sirius has agreements with every major automaker to include satellite radios in new vehicles, although these agreements do not require automakers to install specific or minimum quantities of radios in any given period. Automotive production and sales are dependent on many factors, including the availability of consumer credit, general economic conditions, consumer confidence and fuel costs. To the extent vehicles sales by automakers decline or the penetration of factory-installed satellite radios in those vehicles is reduced, subscriber growth for Sirius' satellite radio services may be adversely impacted.

        Several of our business affiliates face substantial competition, which may increase over time.     Sirius faces substantial competition from other providers of music and talk radio and other audio services and its ability to retain and attract customers is based on its successful programming. Sirius' subscribers can obtain similar content through terrestrial radio or internet radio services, and a number of automakers and aftermarket manufacturers have or will shortly introduce factory-installed radios capable of accessing internet-delivered auto entertainment. Such competition could lower subscription or other revenue or increase expenses related to marketing and promotion, which would lower Sirius' earnings and free cash flow. Similarly, Barnes & Noble faces competition from traditional and internet retail sources, as well as from other suppliers of digital content. Its retail stores compete primarily on the quality of the shopping and store experience and the price and availability of products, which take into account promotional activities. Barnes & Noble's eBook reader, the NOOK ® , competes with other eBook readers and smart tablets on functionality, consumer appeal, availability of digital content and price. In addition, Barnes & Noble faces competition from large bookstores such as Books-A-Million, wholesalers such as Costco and online retailers such as Amazon.com and Apple. Increases in consumer spending online may significantly affect Barnes & Noble's ability to generate sales in its retail stores. Barnes & Noble also faces competition from a variety of sources with respect to sales of music and

8

DVDs. Increased competition faced by our business affiliates may adversely affect their, and hence our, results of operations,

        The success of three of our business affiliates, Sirius, Live Nation and Barnes & Noble, depends, in part, on the integrity of their systems and infrastructures and the protection of consumer data.     The businesses of Sirius, Live Nation and Barnes & Noble involve the receipt and storage of personal information about consumers. While the receipt and storage of such information is subject to regulation by international, federal and state law, and although Sirius, Live Nation and Barnes & Noble may take steps to protect personal information, these companies could experience a data security breach, which could result in a disruption of operations and potential violations of applicable privacy laws and other laws or standards which could result in fines, penalties and/or the loss of consumer trust.

        We do not have the right to manage our business affiliates, which means we are not able to cause those affiliates to operate in a manner that is favorable to us.     We do not have the right to manage the businesses or affairs of any of our business affiliates (those companies in which we have less than a majority voting stake), including Sirius, Live Nation and Barnes & Noble. Rather, our rights take the form of representation on the board of directors and, in some cases, board committees that supervise management and possession of veto rights over certain significant or extraordinary actions. The scope of our veto rights varies from company to company. Although our board representation and veto rights may enable us to exercise influence over the management or policies of a business affiliate, enable us to prevent the sale of material assets by a business affiliate or prevent a business affiliate from paying dividends or making distributions to its stockholders or partners, they will not enable us to cause these actions to be taken. Although Liberty Media has submitted an application to the FCC for the transfer of de jure control of Sirius which the FCC has accepted for filing and placed on public notice, our application has not yet been approved. In that application, we represented to the FCC that, prior to the approval of our application, we would not convert enough of our preferred shares of Sirius to cause us to own of record a majority of the outstanding common stock of Sirius. No assurance can be given as to when or if our application will be approved. As our preferred shares do not vote on an as-converted basis with the Sirius common stock with respect to the election of directors, our ability to obtain control of the Sirius board remains hindered. We may not be able to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our 49.5% beneficial ownership interest in Sirius common stock in the near term or at all.

        The liquidity and value of our public investments may be affected by market conditions beyond our control that could cause us to record losses for declines in their market value.     Included among our assets are equity interests in one or more publicly-traded companies that are not consolidated subsidiaries or equity affiliates, such as Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corporation. The value of these interests may be affected by economic and market conditions that are beyond our control. In addition, our ability to liquidate these interests without adversely affecting their value may be limited.

        Transactions in our common stock by our insiders could depress the market price of our common stock.     Sales of or hedging transactions, such as collars, in our shares by our Chairman of the Board or any of our other directors or executive officers could cause a perception in the marketplace that our stock price has peaked or that adverse events or trends have occurred or may be occurring at our company. This perception could result notwithstanding any personal financial motivation for these insider transactions. As a result, insider transactions could depress the market price for shares of one or more series of our common stock.

        No assurance can be made that we will be successful in integrating any acquired businesses.     Our businesses and those of our subsidiaries may grow through acquisitions in selected markets. Integration of new businesses may present significant challenges, including: realizing economies of scale in programming and network operations; eliminating duplicative overhead; and integrating networks, financial systems and operational systems. No assurance can be made that, with respect to any

9

acquisition, we will realize anticipated benefits or successfully integrate any acquired business with our existing operations. In addition, while we intend to implement appropriate controls and procedures as we integrate acquired companies, we may not be able to certify as to the effectiveness of these companies' disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting (as required by U.S. federal securities laws and regulations) until we have fully integrated them.

        Our company has overlapping directors and management with Liberty Interactive and Starz, which may lead to conflicting interests.     As a result of the Spin-Off and the Split-Off, most of the executive officers of Spinco also serve as executive officers of Liberty Interactive and some are expected to serve as executive officers of Starz following the Spin-Off, and there is significant board overlap between our company and Liberty Interactive. Following the Spin-Off, John C. Malone will be the Chairman of the Board of our company and Liberty Interactive. None of Spinco, Starz and Liberty Interactive has any ownership interest in the others. Our executive officers and members of our company's board of directors have fiduciary duties to our stockholders. Likewise, any such persons who serve in similar capacities at Starz or Liberty Interactive have fiduciary duties to that company's stockholders. Therefore, such persons may have conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting more than one of the companies to which they owe fiduciary duties. For example, there may be the potential for a conflict of interest when Spinco or Liberty Interactive looks at acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for each of them. Moreover, most of our company's directors and officers continue to own Starz and Liberty Interactive stock and options to purchase Starz stock and Liberty Interactive stock. These ownership interests could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when these individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for our company, Starz and/or Liberty Interactive. Any potential conflict that qualifies as a "related party transaction" (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) is subject to review by an independent committee of the applicable issuer's board of directors in accordance with its corporate governance guidelines. Any other potential conflicts that arise will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, keeping in mind the applicable fiduciary duties owed by the executive officers and directors of each issuer. From time to time, we may enter into transactions with Liberty Interactive or Starz and/or their subsidiaries or other affiliates. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to our company, Starz, Liberty Interactive or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no overlapping officer or director.

        Holders of a single series of our common stock may not have any remedies if an action by our directors has an adverse effect on only that series of our common stock.     Principles of Delaware law and the provisions of our certificate of incorporation may protect decisions of our board of directors that have a disparate impact upon holders of any single series of our common stock. Under Delaware law, the board of directors has a duty to act with due care and in the best interests of all of our stockholders, including the holders of all series of our common stock. Principles of Delaware law established in cases involving differing treatment of multiple classes or series of stock provide that a board of directors owes an equal duty to all common stockholders regardless of class or series and does not have separate or additional duties to any group of stockholders. As a result, in some circumstances, our directors may be required to make a decision that is viewed as adverse to the holders of one series of our common stock. Under the principles of Delaware law and the business judgment rule, holders may not be able to successfully challenge decisions that they believe have a disparate impact upon the holders of one series of our stock if our board of directors is disinterested and independent with respect to the action taken, is adequately informed with respect to the action taken and acts in good faith and in the honest belief that the board is acting in the best interest of all of our stockholders.

10

        It may be difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders.     Certain provisions of our restated charter and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company that a stockholder may consider favorable. These provisions include:

•

authorizing a capital structure with multiple series of common stock, a Series B common stock that entitles the holders to ten votes per share, a Series A common stock that entitles the holder to one vote per share, and a Series C common stock that except as otherwise required by applicable law, entitles the holder to no voting rights;



•

classifying our board of directors with staggered three-year terms, which may lengthen the time required to gain control of our board of directors;



•

limiting who may call special meetings of stockholders;



•

prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders;



•

establishing advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings;



•

requiring stockholder approval by holders of at least 66 ² / 3 % of our aggregate voting power or the approval by at least 75% of our board of directors with respect to certain extraordinary matters, such as a merger or consolidation of our company, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or an amendment to our restated charter; and



•

the existence of authorized and unissued stock, including "blank check" preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors to persons friendly to our then current management, thereby protecting the continuity of our management, or which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of our company.

        In addition, our chairman, John C. Malone, is expected to beneficially own shares representing the power to direct approximately 40.7% of the aggregate voting power in our company, due to his beneficial ownership of approximately 83.7% of the outstanding shares of LMCB as of August 31, 2012.

        We may have future capital needs and may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms.     In connection with the Spin-Off, it is expected that Starz, LLC will distribute approximately $1.8 billion in cash to Liberty Media, of which $400 million was distributed in the third quarter of 2012. The total amount of the distribution will depend upon the financial performance and cash position of Starz, LLC prior to the Spin-Off. This distributed cash, as reduced by investments of such cash prior to the Spin-Off, will be contributed to Spinco in connection with the Spin-Off. Due to the size and nature of our consolidated subsidiaries, ANLBC and TruePosition, their assets and operating cash flow are insufficient to support any significant financing in the future. Hence, our ability to obtain significant financing in the future, on favorable terms or at all, may be limited. If debt financing is not available to us in the future, we may obtain liquidity through the sale or monetization of our available for sale securities, or we may issue equity securities. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. If we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity in the future, we may be unable to develop our businesses properly, complete acquisitions or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Factors Relating to the Spin-Off

        The Spin-Off could result in a significant tax liability.     Liberty Media has requested the Ruling from the IRS to the effect that, among other things, the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction for

11

U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. It is a condition to the Spin-Off that the Ruling is obtained and that it is not thereafter withdrawn, invalidated or modified in an adverse manner. Although any Ruling that is obtained will generally be binding on the IRS, the continued validity of the Ruling will be subject to the accuracy of factual statements and representations made to the IRS by Liberty Media. Further, as a result of the IRS's general ruling policy with respect to transactions under Section 355 of the Code, the Ruling will not represent a determination by the IRS that certain requirements necessary to obtain tax-free treatment to holders of Liberty Media common stock and to Liberty Media under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code (specifically, the corporate business purpose requirement, the requirement that the Spin-Off not be used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits, and the non-application of Section 355(e) of the Code to the Spin-Off (discussed below)) have been satisfied. Rather, the Ruling will be based upon representations made to the IRS by Liberty Media that these requirements have been satisfied.

        As a result of this IRS ruling policy, the Spin-Off is also conditioned upon the receipt by Liberty Media of the opinion of Skadden, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Liberty Media, to the effect that the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction to Liberty Media and to the holders of Liberty Media common stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. The opinion of counsel will rely on the continued validity of the Ruling, as to the matters covered by the Ruling, and will be based upon certain assumptions, as well as statements, representations and certain undertakings made by officers of Liberty Media and Spinco and a stockholder of Liberty Media. If the Ruling is no longer valid, if any of those statements, representations or assumptions is incorrect or untrue in any material respect or any of those undertakings is not complied with, or if the facts upon which the opinion is based are materially different from the facts at the time of the Spin-Off, the conclusions reached in such opinion could be adversely affected. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and the conclusions expressed in such opinion could be challenged by the IRS and a court could sustain such challenge.

        Even if the Spin-Off otherwise qualifies under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, the Spin-Off would result in a significant U.S. federal income tax liability to Liberty Media (but not to holders of Liberty Media common stock) under Section 355(e) of the Code if one or more persons acquire a 50-percent or greater interest (measured by vote or value) in the stock of Liberty Media/Starz or in the stock of Spinco as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Spin-Off. Current tax law generally creates a presumption that any acquisition of the stock of Liberty Media/Starz or the stock of Spinco within two years before or after the Spin-Off is part of a plan that includes the Spin-Off, although the parties may be able to rebut that presumption. The process for determining whether an acquisition is part of a plan under these rules is complex, inherently factual and subject to an analysis of the facts and circumstances of a particular case. Notwithstanding the opinion of counsel described above, Starz or Spinco might inadvertently cause or permit a prohibited change in Starz's ownership or Spinco's ownership to occur, thereby triggering tax liability to Starz, which could have a material adverse effect.

        If it is subsequently determined, for whatever reason, that the Spin-Off does not qualify for tax-free treatment, Liberty Media and/or the holders of Liberty Media common stock immediately prior to the Spin-Off could incur significant tax liabilities determined in the manner described in "The Spin-Off—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off." As described further under "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Relationships between Spinco and Liberty Media/Starz and/or Liberty Interactive—Tax Sharing Agreement," in certain circumstances, Spinco will be required to indemnify Starz, its subsidiaries, and certain related persons for taxes and losses resulting from the Spin-Off. For a more complete discussion of the Ruling, the tax opinion and the tax consequences if the Spin-Off is not tax-free, please see "The Spin-Off—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off."

12

        Spinco may have a significant indemnity obligation to Starz, which is not limited in amount or subject to any cap, if the Spin-Off is treated as a taxable transaction.     Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement that Spinco will enter into with Liberty Media in connection with the Spin-Off (the tax sharing agreement ), subject to certain limited exceptions, Spinco will be required to indemnify Starz, its subsidiaries, and certain related persons for taxes and losses resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off to qualify as a tax-free transaction described under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. However, Spinco will not be required to indemnify Starz for any taxes or losses that (x) result primarily from, individually or in the aggregate, the breach of certain covenants made by Starz (applicable to actions or failures to act by Starz and its subsidiaries following the completion of the Spin-Off), (y) result from Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Spin-Off as a result of the Spin-Off being part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire a 50-percent or greater interest (measured by vote or value) in the stock of Liberty Media/Starz or any successor, or (z) result from deferred intercompany items or excess loss accounts that are triggered by the Spin-Off, and that would otherwise be allocated to Starz.

        Spinco's indemnification obligations to Starz, its subsidiaries and certain related persons will not be limited in amount or subject to any cap. If Spinco is required to indemnify Starz, its subsidiaries and certain related persons under the circumstances set forth in the tax sharing agreement, Spinco may be subject to substantial liabilities, which could materially adversely affect its financial position.

        Spinco may determine to forgo certain transactions in order to avoid the risk of incurring significant tax-related liabilities.     In the tax sharing agreement, Spinco will covenant not to take any action, or fail to take any action, following the Spin-Off, which action or failure to act is inconsistent with the Spin-Off qualifying for tax-free treatment under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. Further, the tax sharing agreement will require that Spinco generally indemnify Starz for any taxes or losses incurred by Starz (or its subsidiaries) resulting from breaches of such covenants or resulting from Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Spin-Off because of acquisitions of a 50-percent or greater interest (measured by vote or value) in the stock of Spinco that are part of a plan that includes the Spin-Off. As a result, Spinco might determine to forgo certain transactions that might have otherwise been advantageous in order to preserve the tax-free treatment of the Spin-Off.

        In particular, Spinco might determine to continue to operate certain of its business operations for the foreseeable future even if a sale or discontinuance of such business might have otherwise been advantageous. Moreover, in light of the requirements of Section 355(e) of the Code, Spinco might determine to forgo certain transactions, including share repurchases, stock issuances, certain asset dispositions or other strategic transactions for some period of time following the Spin-Off. In addition, Spinco's indemnity obligation under the tax sharing agreement might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control transaction for some period of time following the Spin-Off.

        We cannot be certain that an active trading market will develop or be sustained after the Spin-Off, and following the Spin-Off our stock price may fluctuate significantly.     We cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop or be sustained for our common stock after the Spin-Off. We cannot predict the prices at which either series of our common stock may trade after the Spin-Off, the effect of the Spin-Off on the trading prices of Starz's common stock or whether the market value of a share of a series of our common stock and a share of the same series of Starz's common stock held by a stockholder after the Spin-Off will be less than, equal to or greater than the market value of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Media common stock held by such stockholder prior to the Spin-Off.

        The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

13

•

changes in earnings estimated by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;



•

the operating and stock price performance of comparable companies; and



•

domestic economic conditions.

        The fair value of Liberty Media's investment in Sirius, on an as-converted basis, was approximately $4.9 billion as of June 30, 2012, which represents a large portion of Liberty Media's total market value and will represent an even larger portion of Spinco's total market value following the Spin-Off. Liberty Media's common stock has historically traded at times somewhat in tandem with Sirius common stock. As a result of the Spin-Off, our stock price may move in tandem with the Sirius stock price to a greater degree than Liberty Media's common stock does today, with the result that our stock price may be disproportionately affected by the results of operations of Sirius and developments in its business.

        After the Spin-Off, Spinco may be controlled by one principal stockholder.     John C. Malone currently beneficially owns shares of Liberty Media common stock (excluding exercisable stock options) representing approximately 40.7% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Media's common stock as of August 31, 2012. Following the consummation of the Spin-Off, Mr. Malone is expected to beneficially own shares of our common stock (excluding exercisable stock options) representing approximately 40.7% of Spinco's voting power, based upon the 1-for-1 distribution ratio in the Spin-Off and his beneficial ownership of Liberty Media common stock as of August 31, 2012 (as reflected under "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners—Security Ownership of Management" below). By virtue of Mr. Malone's voting power in Spinco as well as his position as Spinco's Chairman of the Board, Mr. Malone may be deemed to control Spinco's operations. Mr. Malone's rights to vote or dispose of his equity interest in Spinco will not be subject to any restrictions in favor of Spinco other than as may be required by applicable law and except for customary transfer restrictions pursuant to incentive award agreements.

THE SPIN-OFF

Background for the Spin-Off

        Our company is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media. Following the Spin-Off, we will be primarily engaged in the media, communications and entertainment industries through our ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies. Following the Spin-Off, our principal businesses and assets will include the consolidated subsidiaries Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc. (the owner of the Atlanta Braves major league baseball team) and TruePosition, Inc., the equity affiliates Sirius XM Radio Inc. and Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., and minority investments in public companies such as Barnes & Noble, Inc., Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc., Viacom Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corporation, and cash in the amount of $ [        ] , which will include cash contributed from Liberty Media to Spinco prior to the Spin-Off following Starz LLC's draw down on its $1.5 billion credit facility (such businesses and assets as well as any related liabilities, the Spin-Off Assets and Liabilities ).

        The businesses and assets that remain at Starz following the Spin-Off will consist of the premium movie service provider Starz, LLC and its subsidiaries.

        The board of directors of Liberty Media has determined to separate the Spin-Off Assets and Liabilities from the assets and liabilities of Starz, LLC and its subsidiaries by means of the Spin-Off. To accomplish the Spin-Off, Liberty Media will effect the distribution, whereby holders of LMCA and LMCB will receive, by means of a dividend, shares of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock, respectively. Following the Spin-Off, Starz will cease to own any equity interest in our company, and we will be an independent publicly traded company. No vote of Liberty Media's stockholders is required or being sought in connection with the Spin-Off, and Liberty Media's stockholders have no appraisal rights in connection with the Spin-Off.

Reasons for the Spin-Off

        The board of directors of Liberty Media periodically reviews with management the strategic goals and prospects of its various businesses, equity affiliates and other investments. As a result of a review undertaken during the summer of 2012 the Liberty Media board determined that the Spin-Off would allow each of Starz and Spinco to pursue strategic opportunities that are not otherwise available to them in Liberty Media's current configuration and, over time, enhance the operating performance of the two companies. Among the factors considered by the Liberty Media board in arriving at its determination were the following:

•

By separating the more complex collection of businesses and investments that currently comprise Liberty Media from Starz, LLC, Liberty Media believes that the conglomerate or "holding company" discount inherent in Liberty Media's common stock will be eliminated, as Starz will become a "pure play" media company valued in a manner consistent with other companies in the premium television industry. The elimination of the holding company discount at Starz will create a more efficiently priced equity security for Starz to use to effect a complementary business combination using its equity and enable Starz's stock to be more accurately valued by potential acquirors.



•

The Spin-Off is expected to cause the holding company discount with respect to the Spinco common stock to be reduced, as separating Starz, LLC and its subsidiaries will better highlight the discount at which the Liberty Media common stock historically has traded relative to its underlying asset composition. This reduction of the holding company discount associated with the Spinco common stock would enhance the ability of Spinco to issue its equity for purposes of making strategic acquisitions with less dilution to its stockholders.

17

•

By effecting the Spin-Off, both companies will be better positioned to take advantage of business opportunities that are not available to them under Liberty Media's existing configuration. Each of Starz and Spinco will have greater flexibility in structuring strategic alliances, acquisitions and other business combinations and a stronger acquisition currency.



•

The contribution of cash to Spinco in connection with the Spin-Off will provide Spinco with greater liquidity to acquire additional shares of its equity affiliates, invest in complementary businesses and pursue other strategic objectives and acquisitions.



•

In connection with the internal restructuring and the cash contribution to Spinco, Starz will optimize its capital structure, through the draw down of the Starz credit facility, which is expected to provide for more attractive leveraged equity returns for Starz's stockholders.



•

The Spin-Off is expected to enhance the ability of our company and Starz to retain and attract qualified personnel, by enabling each company to grant equity incentive awards based on its own publicly traded equity with less dilution to its stockholders (as a result of the reduction in the discount associated with its equity), and will further enable each company to more effectively tailor employee benefit plans and retention programs and provide improved incentives to the employees and future hires of each company that will better and more directly align the incentives for each company's management with their performance.

        Liberty Media's board also considered a number of costs and risks associated with the Spin-Off, including:

•

After the Spin-Off, Starz and Spinco will have smaller market capitalizations (and, in the case of Starz, significantly smaller) than Liberty Media's current market capitalization, and their stock prices may be more volatile than Liberty Media's stock price prior to the Spin-Off. The board also considered the possibility that the combined market values of the separate company stocks may be lower than the market value of Liberty Media's common stock prior to the Spin-Off.



•

The risk of being unable to achieve the benefits expected from the Spin-Off.



•

The increased leverage to be incurred by Starz, LLC as a result of the $ [        ] drawdown under its credit agreement, of which $ [        ] will be transferred to Spinco.



•

The loss of synergies from operating as one company, particularly in administrative and support functions.



•

The potential disruption of the businesses of Liberty Media, as its management and employees devote time and resources to completing the Spin-Off.



•

The substantial costs of effecting the Spin-Off and of continued compliance with legal and other requirements applicable to two separate public reporting companies.



•

The potential tax liabilities that could arise from the Spin-Off, including the possibility that the IRS could successfully assert that the Spin-Off is taxable to Liberty Media's stockholders and/or to Liberty Media.

        Liberty Media's board evaluated the costs and benefits of the transaction as a whole and did not find it necessary to assign relative weights to the specific factors considered. Liberty Media's board concluded, however, that the potential benefits of the Spin-Off outweighed its potential costs, and that separating our company from Liberty Media in the form of a distribution to Liberty Media's stockholders that is generally tax-free is appropriate, advisable and in the best interests of Liberty Media and its stockholders.

18

Conditions to the Spin-Off

        Liberty Media's board of directors has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, modify, delay or abandon the Spin-Off and the related transactions at any time prior to the distribution date. In addition, the completion of the Spin-Off and related transactions are subject to the satisfaction (determined by the Liberty Media board of directors in its sole discretion) of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by the Liberty Media board of directors in its sole discretion:

(1)

Liberty Media shall have received the Ruling from the IRS, which ruling shall not have been withdrawn, invalidated or modified in an adverse manner, and the opinion of Skadden, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Liberty Media and which opinion will rely upon the continued validity of the Ruling, with each of the Ruling and the opinion providing to the effect that the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, and that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by Liberty Media upon the distribution of our common stock in the Spin-Off, and (ii) no gain or loss will be recognized by, and no amount will be included in the income of, holders of Liberty Media common stock upon the receipt of shares of our common stock in the Spin-Off;



(2)

Liberty Media shall have received a written solvency opinion from a financial advisor, in form and substance acceptable to the Liberty Media board of directors, regarding the Spin-Off and related transactions, which opinion shall not have been withdrawn or modified;



(3)

the registration statement on Form 10 with respect to the registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act ), of Spinco common stock, of which this information statement forms a part, shall have become effective;



(4)

any material regulatory or contractual consents or approvals that a committee of the Liberty Media board of directors determines to obtain shall have been obtained and be in full force and effect.

Manner of Effecting the Spin-Off

        Liberty Media is effecting the Spin-Off by distributing to its stockholders as a dividend (i) one share of our Series A common stock for each whole share of LMCA and (ii) one share of our Series B common stock for each whole share of LMCB, in each case, held by such stockholder as of the record date.

        Following the record date and prior to the distribution date, Liberty Media will deliver all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock to the distribution agent. If you own Liberty Media common stock as of the close of business on the record date, the shares of Spinco common stock that you are entitled to receive in the Spin-Off will be issued electronically, as of the distribution date, to you or to your bank or brokerage firm on your behalf by way of direct registration in book-entry form. Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording stock ownership when no physical share certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the Spin-Off. Please note that if any stockholder of Liberty Media sells shares of LMCA or LMCB before the record date, so that such stockholder is not the record holder on the record date, the buyer of those shares, and not the seller, will become entitled to receive the shares of our common stock issuable in respect of the shares sold. See "—Trading Prior to the Record Date" below for more information. At such time, pursuant to the reorganization agreement to be entered into between Spinco and Liberty Media, Spinco will be spun off from Liberty Media and will become an independent publicly traded company.

        Stockholders of Liberty Media are not being asked to take any action in connection with the Spin-Off. No stockholder approval of the Spin-Off is required or being sought. Neither Liberty Media

19

nor our company is asking you for a proxy, and you are requested not to send us a proxy. You are not required to pay any consideration or give up any portion of your Liberty Media common stock to receive shares of our common stock in the Spin-Off.

Effect of the Spin-Off on Outstanding Liberty Media Incentive Awards

        Options to purchase shares of Liberty Media common stock, stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of Liberty Media common stock and restricted shares of Liberty Media common stock have been granted to various directors, officers, employees and consultants of Liberty Media and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to the various stock incentive plans administered by the Liberty Media board of directors or the compensation committee thereof. Below is a description of the effect of the Spin-Off on these outstanding equity awards.

Option Awards

        Except as described below with respect to certain unvested options, the holder of an outstanding option to purchase shares of Liberty Media common stock on the record date (an original Liberty Media option ) will receive an option to purchase an equivalent number of shares of the corresponding series of our common stock (a new Spinco option ) and an adjustment to the exercise price of the original Liberty Media option (as so adjusted, an adjusted Starz option ). The exercise prices of the new Spinco option and the related adjusted Starz option will be determined based upon the exercise price of the original Liberty Media option, the pre-Spin-Off trading price of Liberty Media common stock (determined using the volume weighted average price of Liberty Media common stock over the three-consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Spin-Off) and the relative post-Spin-Off trading prices of Starz's common stock and Spinco common stock (determined using the volume weighted average price of the applicable series of common stock over the three-consecutive trading days beginning on the first trading day following the Spin-Off on which both Starz's common stock and the Spinco common stock trade in the "regular way" (meaning once the common stock trades using a standard settlement cycle)), such that the pre-Spin-Off intrinsic value of the original Liberty Media option is allocated between the new Spinco option award and the adjusted Starz option.

        The holder of any unvested original Liberty Media option who is a current or former direct employee or consultant of Starz, LLC or any of its subsidiaries will not receive any new Spinco options as a result of the distribution. Rather, his or her unvested original Liberty Media option will instead be adjusted so as to preserve the pre-Spin-Off intrinsic value of the unvested original Liberty Media option based upon the exercise price of and number of shares subject to such original Liberty Media option and the pre-Spin-Off trading price of the Liberty Media common stock and post-Spin-Off trading prices of Starz's common stock (in each case, determined as described above). It was determined that these original Liberty Media option holders would not receive new Spinco options, as their future performance will have no impact on the financial results of the businesses of Spinco following the Spin-Off. Further, this adjustment-only approach was not applied to vested awards so as to avoid depriving the holders of such vested awards of the ability to exercise their awards promptly following the distribution.

        Except as described above, all other terms of an adjusted Starz option and a new Spinco option (including, for example, the vesting terms thereof) will, in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding original Liberty Media option. The terms of the adjusted Starz option will be determined and the new Spinco option will be granted as soon as practicable following the determination of the pre- and post-Spin-Off trading prices of Liberty Media/Starz common stock and Spinco common stock, as applicable.

SAR Awards

        Except as described below with respect to certain unvested stock appreciation rights, the holder of an outstanding stock appreciation right with respect to shares of Liberty Media common stock on the record date (an original Liberty Media SAR ) will receive a stock appreciation right with respect to an equivalent number of shares of the corresponding series of our common stock (a new Spinco SAR ) and an adjustment to the base price of the original Liberty Media SAR (as so adjusted, an adjusted Starz SAR ). The base prices of the new Spinco SAR and the related adjusted Starz SAR will be determined based upon the base price of the original Liberty Media SAR, the pre-Spin-Off trading price of Liberty Media common stock (determined using the volume weighted average price of Liberty Media common stock over the three-consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Spin-Off) and the relative post-Spin-Off trading prices of Starz's common stock and Spinco common stock (determined using the volume weighted average price of the applicable series of common stock over the three-consecutive trading days beginning on the first trading day following the Spin-Off on which both Starz's common stock and the Spinco common stock trade in the regular way), such that the pre-Spin-Off intrinsic value of the original Liberty Media SAR is allocated between the new Spinco SAR and the adjusted Starz SAR.

        The holder of any unvested original Liberty Media SAR who is a current or former direct employee or consultant of Starz, LLC or any of its subsidiaries will not receive any new Spinco SARs as a result of the distribution. Rather, his or her unvested original Liberty Media SAR will instead be adjusted so as to preserve the pre-Spin-Off intrinsic value of the unvested original Liberty Media SAR based upon the base price of and number of shares subject to such original Liberty Media SAR and the pre-Spin-Off trading price of the Liberty Media common stock and post-Spin-Off trading prices of Starz's common stock (in each case, determined as described above). It was determined that these original Liberty Media SAR holders would not receive new Spinco SARs, as their future performance will have no impact on the financial results of the businesses of Spinco following the Spin-Off. Further, this adjustment-only approach was not applied to vested awards so as to avoid depriving the holders of such vested awards of the ability to exercise their awards promptly following the distribution.

        Except as described above, all other terms of an adjusted Starz SAR and a new Spinco SAR (including, for example, the vesting terms thereof) will, in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding original Liberty Media SAR. The terms of the adjusted Starz SAR will be determined and the new Spinco SAR will be granted as soon as practicable following the determination of the pre- and post-Spin-Off trading prices of Liberty Media/Starz common stock and Spinco common stock, as applicable.

Restricted Stock Awards

        Each holder of a restricted stock award with respect to shares of Liberty Media common stock (an original Liberty Media restricted stock award ) will receive in the distribution one restricted share of the corresponding series of Spinco common stock (a new Spinco restricted stock award ) for each restricted share of Liberty Media common stock held as of the distribution record date. Except as described above, all new Spinco restricted stock awards (including, for example, the vesting terms thereof) will, in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding original Liberty Media restricted stock award.

Transitional Plan

        All of the new Spinco options, new Spinco SARs and new Spinco restricted stock awards will be issued pursuant to the Spinco Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (the transitional plan ), a copy of which is being filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form 10 of which this information

21

statement forms a part. The transitional plan will govern the terms and conditions of the foregoing Spinco incentive awards but will not be used to make any grants following the Spin-Off.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off

        The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of Liberty Media common stock as a result of the Spin-Off. This discussion is based on the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and interpretations of such authorities by the courts and the IRS, all as in effect as of the date of this document and all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This section is limited to holders of Liberty Media common stock that are U.S. holders, as defined below, that hold their shares of Liberty Media common stock as capital assets, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Further, this section does not discuss all tax considerations that may be relevant to holders of Liberty Media common stock in light of their particular circumstances, nor does it address the consequences to holders of Liberty Media common stock subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as tax-exempt entities, partnerships (including entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes), persons who acquired such shares of Liberty Media common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers or traders in securities, and persons who hold their shares of Liberty Media common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, synthetic security, integrated investment or other risk-reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This section does not address any U.S. federal estate, gift or other non-income tax consequences or any state, local or foreign tax consequences.

         Holders of Liberty Media common stock are urged to consult with their tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences to them as a result of the Spin-Off.

        For purposes of this section, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of Liberty Media common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the United States;



•

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;



•

an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or



•

a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (ii) it has a valid election in place under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

        If a partnership (including any entity treated as partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of Liberty Media common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding shares of Liberty Media common stock should consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Spin-Off.

        Liberty Media has applied for the Ruling from the IRS, and it is a condition to the Spin-Off that Liberty Media receive such Ruling to the effect that the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction

22

under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code and that, accordingly, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, among other things:

•

no gain or loss will be recognized by Liberty Media upon the distribution of (a) shares of Spinco Series A common stock to holders of LMCA and (b) shares of Spinco Series B common stock to holders of LMCB pursuant to the Spin-Off;



•

no gain or loss will be recognized by, and no amount will be included in the income of, a holder of Liberty Media common stock upon the receipt of shares of Spinco common stock pursuant to the Spin-Off;



•

a Liberty Media stockholder who receives shares of Spinco common stock in the Spin-Off will have a aggregate basis in the common stock of Starz and Spinco following the Spin-Off equal to the aggregate basis of the Liberty Media stock that the stockholder held immediately before the Spin-Off, allocated between the stock of Starz and Spinco in proportion to the fair market value of each; and



•

the holding period of the shares of Spinco common stock received in the Spin-Off by a Liberty Media stockholder will include the holding period of its shares of Liberty Media common stock.

        Liberty Media stockholders that have acquired different blocks of Liberty Media common stock at different times or at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of their aggregate adjusted basis among, and their holding period of, shares of Spinco common stock distributed with respect to such blocks of Liberty Media common stock.

        Although any Ruling that is obtained will generally be binding on the IRS, the continued validity of the Ruling will be subject to the accuracy of factual statements and representations made to the IRS by Liberty Media upon which the Ruling is based. Further, as a result of the IRS's general ruling policy with respect to transactions under Section 355 of the Code, the Ruling will not represent a determination by the IRS that certain requirements necessary to obtain tax-free treatment to holders of Liberty Media common stock and to Liberty Media under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code (specifically, the corporate business purpose requirement, the requirement that the Spin-Off not be used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits, and the non-application of Section 355(e) of the Code to the Spin-Off (discussed below)) have been satisfied. Rather, the Ruling will be based upon representations made to the IRS by Liberty Media that these requirements have been satisfied. If any of the statements or representations upon which the private letter ruling obtained by Liberty Media is based are incorrect or untrue in any material respect, or the facts upon which the ruling is based were materially different from the facts at the time of the Spin-Off, the private letter ruling could be invalidated.

        As a result of this IRS ruling policy, the Spin-Off is also conditioned upon the receipt by Liberty Media of the opinion of Skadden, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Liberty Media, to the effect that the Spin-Off will qualify as a tax-free transaction to Liberty Media and to the holders of Liberty Media common stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. The opinion of counsel will rely on the continued validity of the Ruling, as to the matters covered by the Ruling, and will be based upon certain assumptions, as well as statements, representations and certain undertakings made by officers of Liberty Media and Spinco and a stockholder of Liberty Media. If the Ruling is no longer valid, if any of those statements, representations or assumptions is incorrect or untrue in any material respect or any of those undertakings is not complied with, or if the facts upon which the opinion is based are materially different from the facts at the time of the Spin-Off, the conclusions reached in such opinion could be adversely affected. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and the conclusions expressed in such opinion could be challenged by the IRS and a court could sustain such challenge.

23

        If the Spin-Off does not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then, in general, Liberty Media would be subject to tax as if it had sold the Spinco common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value. Liberty Media's stockholders would be subject to tax as if they had received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of Spinco common stock that was distributed to them, taxable as a dividend to the extent of Liberty Media's earnings and profits. The amount of the taxable distribution in excess of Liberty Media's earnings and profits would result first in a non-taxable dollar-for-dollar reduction in the stockholder's basis in its Liberty Media stock, and thereafter would be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such stockholder's Liberty Media stock. It is expected that the amount of any such taxes to Liberty Media's stockholders and Liberty Media would be substantial.

        Even if the Spin-Off otherwise qualifies under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, the Spin-Off would result in a significant U.S. federal income tax liability to Liberty Media (but not to holders of Liberty Media common stock) under Section 355(e) of the Code if one or more persons acquire a 50-percent or greater interest (measured by vote or value) in the stock of Liberty Media/Starz or in the stock of Spinco as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Spin-Off. Current tax law generally creates a presumption that any acquisition of the stock of Liberty Media/Starz or the stock of Spinco within two years before or after the Spin-Off is part of a plan that includes the Spin-Off, although the parties may be able to rebut that presumption. The process for determining whether an acquisition is part of a plan under these rules is complex, inherently factual and subject to an analysis of the facts and circumstances of a particular case. Notwithstanding the opinion of counsel described above, Starz or Spinco might inadvertently cause or permit a prohibited change in Starz's ownership or Spinco's ownership to occur, thereby triggering tax liability to Liberty Media. If the Spin-Off is determined to be taxable to Liberty Media under Section 355(e), Liberty Media would recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Spinco common stock held by it immediately before the Spin-Off over Liberty Media's tax basis therein. The Spin-Off would, however, generally be tax-free to each holder of Liberty Media stock who received shares of our stock in the distribution.

        Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement that Spinco will enter into with Liberty Media in connection with the Spin-Off, subject to certain limited exceptions, Spinco will be required to indemnify Starz, its subsidiaries, and certain related persons for taxes and losses resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off to qualify as a tax-free transaction described under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. However, Spinco will not be required to indemnify Starz for any taxes or losses that (x) result primarily from, individually or in the aggregate, the breach of certain covenants made by Starz (applicable to actions or failures to act by Starz and its subsidiaries following the completion of the Spin-Off), (y) result from Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Spin-Off as a result of the Spin-Off being part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire a 50-percent or greater interest (measured by vote or value) in the stock of Liberty Media/Starz or any successor, or (z) result from deferred intercompany items or excess loss accounts that are triggered by the Spin-Off, and that would otherwise be allocated to Starz. Please see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Relationships Between Spinco and Liberty Media/Starz and/or Liberty Interactive—Tax Sharing Agreement" for a more detailed discussion of the tax sharing agreement between our company and Liberty Media.

Results of the Spin-Off

        Immediately following the Spin-Off, we expect to have outstanding approximately 109,953,000 shares of our Series A common stock and 9,890,000 shares of Series B common stock, based upon the number of shares of LMCA and LMCB, respectively, outstanding as of August 31, 2012. The actual number of shares of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock to be distributed in the Spin-Off will depend upon the actual number of shares of LMCA and LMCB outstanding on the record date.

24

        Immediately following the Spin-Off, we expect to have approximately 1,573 holders of record of our Series A common stock and 102 holders of record of our Series B common stock, based upon the number of holders of record of LMCA and LMCB, respectively, as of August 31, 2012 (which amount does not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokerage houses or other institution, but includes each such institution as one stockholder).

Listing and Trading of our Common Stock

        On the date of this information statement, we are a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media. Accordingly, there is no public market for our common stock. In connection with the Spin-Off, Liberty Media will change its name to "Starz" and we will change our name to "Liberty Media Corporation." Accordingly, we have applied to list our Series A common stock and Series B common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols "LMCA" and "LMCB," respectively, which are the current trading symbols for Liberty Media's Series A and Series B Liberty Capital common stock, respectively. However, our common stock may trade under temporary symbols for a short period of time following the Spin-Off so as to avoid market confusion once our common stock begins trading under Liberty Media's current trading symbols. We will announce these temporary symbols by press release once they are available. Neither we nor Liberty Media can assure you as to the trading price of either series of our common stock after the Spin-Off.

        The shares of our common stock distributed to Liberty Media stockholders will be freely transferable, except for shares received by individuals who are our affiliates. Individuals who may be considered our affiliates after the Spin-Off include individuals who control, are controlled by or are under common control with us, as those terms generally are interpreted for federal securities law purposes. Individuals who are our affiliates will be permitted to sell their shares of our common stock only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ) or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as the exemptions afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 thereunder. Our affiliates will not be permitted to sell shares of our common stock under Rule 144 until 90 days after the date on which the registration statement of which this information statement forms a part becomes effective.

Trading Prior to the Record Date

        Prior to the record date, Liberty Media common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the regular way. During this time, shares of either series of Liberty Media common stock that trade in the regular way will trade with an entitlement to receive shares of the same series of our common stock distributable in the Spin-Off. Therefore, if you own shares of either series of Liberty Media common stock and sell those shares prior to the record date, so that you are not the record holder of such shares on the record date, you will also be selling the shares of our common stock that would have been distributed to you in the Spin-Off with respect to the shares of Liberty Media common stock you sell. On the first day of trading following the record date, shares of LMCA and LMCB will begin trading without any entitlement to receive shares of our common stock. On the first day of trading following the distribution date, shares of Series A Liberty Capital common stock and Series B Liberty Capital common stock will begin trading under the new symbols "STRZA" and "STRZB," respectively. For a short period of time following the Spin-Off, beginning on the first day of trading following the distribution date, our common stock will trade under temporary trading symbols, which will be announced by press release once available. Following this period of time, our Series A and Series B common stock will begin trading under the symbols "LMCA" and "LMCB," respectively.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Selected Financial Data.

        The following tables present selected historical financial statement information relating to Liberty Media's financial condition and results of operations for the past five years. The following data should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Liberty Media consolidated financial statements. Due to the relative significance of Spinco to Starz and senior management's continued involvement in Spinco post-Spin-Off, Spinco will be treated as the "accounting successor" to Liberty Media Corporation (which will be renamed Starz) for financial reporting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Spin-Off described elsewhere in this information statement. Therefore, the historical financial statements of Liberty Media will continue to be the historical financial statements of Spinco.
