Dividends and Securities Distributions

 

The Registrant is permitted to pay dividends on Liberty SiriusXM common stock out of the lesser of its assets legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law and the “SiriusXM Group Available Dividend Amount” (defined generally as the excess of the total assets less the total liabilities of the SiriusXM Group over the par value, or any greater amount determined to be capital in respect of, all outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock or, if there is no such excess, an amount equal to the earnings or loss attributable to the SiriusXM Group (if positive) for the fiscal year in which such dividend is to be paid and/or the preceding fiscal year). If dividends are paid on any series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, an equal per share dividend will be concurrently paid on the other series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock.

 

The Registrant is permitted to make (i) share distributions of (A) Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock to holders of all series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, on an equal per share basis; and (B) Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock to holders of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock to holders of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock to holders of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock; and (ii) share distributions of (A) Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Series C Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of all series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, on an equal per share basis, subject to certain limitations; and (B) Series A Liberty Braves common stock or Series A Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series B Liberty Braves common stock or Series B Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Series C Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, in each case, subject to certain limitations; and (iii) share distributions of any other class or series of the Registrant’s securities or the securities of any other person to holders of all series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, on an equal per share basis, subject to certain limitations.

 

Conversion at Option of Holder

 

Each share of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock. Shares of Series A and Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock are not convertible at the option of the holder.

 

Conversion at Option of Issuer

 

The Registrant can convert each share of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock at a ratio based on the relative trading prices of the Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock (or another series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock subject to certain limitations) and the Series A Liberty Braves common stock or Series A Liberty Formula One common stock (or another series of Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock, subject to certain limitations) over a specified 20-trading day period.

 

The Registrant also can convert each share of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock at a ratio based on the relative trading prices of the Series A Liberty Braves common stock (or another series of Liberty Braves common stock subject to certain limitations) or Series A Liberty Formula One common stock (or another series of Liberty Formula One common stock subject to certain limitations) to the Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock (or another series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock subject to certain limitations) over a specified 20-trading day period.

 

Optional Redemption for Stock of a Subsidiary

 

The Registrant may redeem outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock for shares of common stock of a subsidiary that holds assets and liabilities attributed to the SiriusXM Group (and may or may not hold assets and liabilities attributed

 

2



 

to the Braves Group or the Formula One Group), provided that the Registrant’s board of directors seeks and receives the approval to such redemption of holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, voting together as a separate class.

 

If the Registrant were to effect a redemption as described above with stock of a subsidiary that also holds assets and liabilities of the Braves Group and/or the Formula One Group, shares of Liberty Braves common stock and/or Liberty Formula One common stock would also be redeemed in exchange for shares of that subsidiary, and the entire redemption would be subject to the voting rights of the holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock described above as well as the separate class vote of the holders of Liberty Braves common stock and/or Liberty Formula One common stock, as the case may be.

 

Mandatory Dividend, Redemption and Conversion Rights on Disposition of Assets

 

If the Registrant disposes, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the SiriusXM Group, it is required to choose one of the following four alternatives, unless the board obtains approval of the holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock not to take such action or the disposition qualifies under a specified exemption (in which case the Registrant will not be required to take any of the following actions):

 

·                   pay a dividend to holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock out of the available net proceeds of such disposition; or

 

·                   if there are legally sufficient assets and the SiriusXM Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend, then: (i) if the disposition involves all of the properties and assets of the SiriusXM Group, redeem all outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock in exchange for cash and/or securities or other assets with a fair value equal to the available net proceeds of such disposition, or (ii) if the disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the properties and assets of the SiriusXM Group, redeem a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock in exchange for cash and/or securities or other assets with a fair value equal to the available net proceeds of such disposition; or

 

·                   convert each outstanding share of each series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Braves common stock and/or Liberty Formula One common stock at a specified premium; or

 

·                   combine a conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Braves common stock and/or Liberty Formula One common stock with either the payment of a dividend on or a redemption of shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, subject to certain limitations.

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of such stock held and holders of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock are entitled to ten votes for each share of such stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock are not entitled to any voting powers (including with respect to any class votes taken in accordance with the terms of the charter), except as otherwise required by Delaware law. When so required, holders of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock will be entitled to 1/100th of a vote for each share of such stock held.

 

Holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock will vote as one class with holders of Liberty Braves common stock and Liberty Formula One common stock on all matters that are submitted to a vote of stockholders unless a separate class vote is required by the terms of the charter or Delaware law. In connection with certain dispositions of SiriusXM Group assets as described above, the Registrant’s board may determine to seek approval of the holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, voting together as a separate class, to avoid effecting a mandatory dividend, redemption or conversion under the Registrant’s charter.

 

The Registrant may not redeem outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock for shares of common stock of a subsidiary that holds assets and liabilities attributed to the SiriusXM Group unless the Registrant’s board of directors seeks and receives the approval to such redemption of holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, voting together as a separate class, and, if such subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the Braves Group and/or the Formula One Group, the approval of holders of Liberty

 

3



 

Braves common stock and/or Liberty Formula One common stock, as the case may be, to the corresponding Liberty Braves common stock and/or Liberty Formula One common stock redemption, with each affected group voting as a separate class.

 

The Registrant’s charter imposes supermajority voting requirements in connection with certain charter amendments and other extraordinary transactions which have not been approved by 75% of the directors then in office. When these requirements apply, the threshold vote required is 66 2/3% of the aggregate voting power of the Registrant’s outstanding voting securities, voting together as a single class.

 

Inter-Group Interest

 

From time to time, the Registrant’s board may determine to create an inter-group interest in the SiriusXM Group in favor of the Braves Group or the Formula One Group, subject to the terms of the charter.

 

If the SiriusXM Group has an inter-group interest in the Braves Group or the Formula One Group at such time as any extraordinary action is taken with respect to the Liberty Braves common stock or the Liberty Formula One common stock (such as the payment of a dividend, a share distribution, the redemption of such stock for stock of a subsidiary or an action required to be taken in connection with a disposition of all or substantially all of the Braves Group or the Formula One Group’s assets), the Registrant’s board will consider what actions are required, or permitted, to be taken under the charter with respect to the SiriusXM Group’s inter-group interest in the Braves Group or the Formula One Group. For example, in some instances, the board may determine that a portion of the aggregate consideration that is available for distribution to holders of Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock must be allocated to the SiriusXM Group to compensate the SiriusXM Group on a pro rata basis for its interest in the Braves Group or the Formula One Group, as the case may be.

 

Similarly, if the Braves Group or the Formula One Group has an inter-group interest in the SiriusXM Group at such time as any extraordinary action is taken with respect to the Liberty SiriusXM common stock (such as the payment of a dividend, a share distribution, the redemption of such stock for stock of a subsidiary or an action required to be taken in connection with a disposition of all or substantially all of the SiriusXM Group’s assets), the board will consider what actions are required, or permitted, to be taken under the charter with respect to the Braves Group or the Formula One Group’s inter-group interest in the SiriusXM Group.

 

All such board determinations will be made in accordance with the Registrant’s charter and applicable Delaware law.

 

Upon the effectiveness of the charter, neither the Braves Group nor the Formula One Group had an inter-group interest in the SiriusXM Group and the SiriusXM Group did not have an inter-group interest in either the Braves Group or the Formula One Group.

 

Liquidation

 

Upon the Registrant’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock will be entitled to receive in respect of such stock their proportionate interests in the Registrant’s assets, if any, remaining for distribution to holders of common stock (regardless of the group to which such assets are then attributed) in proportion to their respective number of liquidation units per share.

 

Each share of Liberty SiriusXM common stock will be entitled to a number of liquidation units as set forth on the statement on file with the Secretary of the Registrant on the effective date of the charter, a copy of which will be furnished by the Registrant, on request and without cost, to any stockholder of the Registrant.

Inter-Group Interest

 

From time to time, the Registrant’s board may determine to create an inter-group interest in the Braves Group in favor of the SiriusXM Group or the Formula One Group, subject to the terms of the charter.

The Registrant is permitted to pay dividends on Liberty Formula One common stock out of the lesser of its assets legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law and the “Formula One Group Available Dividend Amount” (defined generally as the excess of the total assets less the total liabilities of the Formula One Group over the par value, or any greater amount determined to be capital in respect of, all outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One common stock or, if there is no such excess, an

 

8



 

amount equal to the earnings or loss attributable to the Formula One Group (if positive) for the fiscal year in which such dividend is to be paid and/or the preceding fiscal year). If dividends are paid on any series of Liberty Formula One common stock, an equal per share dividend will be concurrently paid on the other series of Liberty Formula One common stock.

 

The Registrant is permitted to make (i) share distributions of (A) Series C Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of all series of Liberty Formula One common stock, on an equal per share basis; and (B) Series A Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock to holders of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock; and (ii) share distributions of (A) Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Series C Liberty Braves common stock to holders of all series of Liberty Formula One common stock, on an equal per share basis, subject to certain limitations; and (B) Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Series A Liberty Braves common stock to holders of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Series B Liberty Braves common stock to holders of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock and, on an equal per share basis, shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Series C Liberty Braves common stock to holders of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, in each case, subject to certain limitations; and (iii) share distributions of any other class or series of the Registrant’s securities or the securities of any other person to holders of all series of Liberty Formula One common stock, on an equal per share basis, subject to certain limitations.

 

Conversion at Option of Holder

 

Each share of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock. Shares of Series A and Series C Liberty Formula One common stock are not convertible at the option of the holder.

 

Conversion at Option of Issuer

 

The Registrant can convert each share of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Formula One common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Liberty Braves common stock at a ratio based on the relative trading prices of the Series A Liberty Formula One common stock (or another series of Liberty Formula One common stock subject to certain limitations) and the Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Series A Liberty Braves common stock (or another series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Liberty Braves common stock, subject to certain limitations) over a specified 20-trading day period.

 

The Registrant also can convert each share of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Liberty Braves common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Formula One common stock at a ratio based on the relative trading prices of the Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock (or another series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock subject to certain limitations) or Series A Liberty Braves common stock (or another series of Liberty Braves common stock subject to certain limitations) to the Series A Liberty Formula One common stock (or another series of Liberty Formula One common stock subject to certain limitations) over a specified 20-trading day period.

 

Optional Redemption for Stock of a Subsidiary

 

The Registrant may redeem outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One common stock for shares of common stock of a subsidiary that holds assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group (and may or may not hold assets and liabilities attributed to the SiriusXM Group or the Liberty Braves Group), provided that the Registrant’s board of directors seeks and receives the approval to such redemption of holders of Liberty Formula One common stock, voting together as a separate class.

 

If the Registrant were to effect a redemption as described above with stock of a subsidiary that also holds assets and liabilities of the SiriusXM Group and/or the Braves Group, shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock and/or Liberty Braves common stock would also be redeemed in exchange for shares of that subsidiary, and the entire redemption would be subject to the voting rights of

 

9



 

the holders of Liberty Formula One common stock described above as well as the separate class vote of the holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock and/or Liberty Braves common stock, as the case may be.

 

Mandatory Dividend, Redemption and Conversion Rights on Disposition of Assets

 

If the Registrant disposes, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Formula One Group, it is required to choose one of the following four alternatives, unless the board obtains approval of the holders of Liberty Formula One common stock not to take such action or the disposition qualifies under a specified exemption (in which case the Registrant will not be required to take any of the following actions):

 

·                   pay a dividend to holders of Liberty Formula One common stock out of the available net proceeds of such disposition; or

 

·                   if there are legally sufficient assets and the Formula One Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend, then: (i) if the disposition involves all of the properties and assets of the Formula One Group, redeem all outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One common stock in exchange for cash and/or securities or other assets with a fair value equal to the available net proceeds of such disposition, or (ii) if the disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the properties and assets of the Formula One Group, redeem a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One common stock in exchange for cash and/or securities or other assets with a fair value equal to the available net proceeds of such disposition; or

 

·                   convert each outstanding share of each series of Liberty Formula One common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock and/or Liberty Braves common stock at a specified premium; or

 

·                   combine a conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty SiriusXM common stock and/or Liberty Braves common stock with either the payment of a dividend on or a redemption of shares of Liberty Formula One common stock, subject to certain limitations.

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of such stock held and holders of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock are entitled to ten votes for each share of such stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock are not entitled to any voting powers (including with respect to any class votes taken in accordance with the terms of the charter), except as otherwise required by Delaware law. When so required, holders of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock will be entitled to 1/100th of a vote for each share of such stock held.

 

Holders of Liberty Formula One common stock will vote as one class with holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock and Liberty Braves common stock on all matters that are submitted to a vote of stockholders unless a separate class vote is required by the terms of the charter or Delaware law. In connection with certain dispositions of Formula One Group assets as described above, the Liberty Formula One board may determine to seek approval of the holders of Liberty Formula One common stock, voting together as a separate class, to avoid effecting a mandatory dividend, redemption or conversion under the charter.

 

The Registrant may not redeem outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One common stock for shares of common stock of a subsidiary that holds assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group unless the Registrant’s board of directors seeks and receives the approval to such redemption of holders of Liberty Formula One common stock, voting together as a separate class, and, if such subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the SiriusXM Group and/or the Braves Group, the approval of holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock and/or Liberty Braves common stock, as the case may be, to the corresponding Liberty SiriusXM common stock and/or Liberty Braves common stock redemption, with each affected group voting as a separate class.

 

10



 

The Registrant’s charter imposes supermajority voting requirements in connection with certain charter amendments and other extraordinary transactions which have not been approved by 75% of the directors then in office. When these requirements apply, the threshold vote required is 66 2/3% of the aggregate voting power of the Registrant’s outstanding voting securities, voting together as a single class.

 

Inter-Group Interest

 

From time to time, the Registrant’s board may determine to create an inter-group interest in the Formula One Group in favor of the SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group, subject to the terms of the charter.

 

If the Formula One Group has an inter-group interest in the SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group at such time as any extraordinary action is taken with respect to the Liberty SiriusXM common stock or the Liberty Braves common stock (such as the payment of a dividend, a share distribution, the redemption of such stock for stock of a subsidiary or an action required to be taken in connection with a disposition of all or substantially all of the SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group’s assets), the Registrant’s board will consider what actions are required, or permitted, to be taken under the charter with respect to the Formula One Group’s inter-group interest in the SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group. For example, in some instances, the board may determine that a portion of the aggregate consideration that is available for distribution to holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock or Liberty Braves common stock must be allocated to the Formula One Group to compensate the Formula One Group on a pro rata basis for its interest in the SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group, as the case may be.

 

Similarly, if the SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group has an inter-group interest in the Formula One Group at such time as any extraordinary action is taken with respect to the Liberty Formula One common stock (such as the payment of a dividend, a share distribution, the redemption of such stock for stock of a subsidiary or an action required to be taken in connection with a disposition of all or substantially all of the Formula One Group’s assets), the board will consider what actions are required, or permitted, to be taken under the charter with respect to the SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group’s inter-group interest in the Formula One Group.

 

All such board determinations will be made in accordance with the Registrant’s charter and applicable Delaware law.

 

Upon the effectiveness of the charter, (i) the Formula One Group had a inter-group interest in the Braves Group as set forth on the statement on file with the Secretary of the Registrant on the effective date of the charter, (ii) the Formula One Group did not have an inter-group interest in the SiriusXM Group and (iii) neither the SiriusXM Group nor the Braves Group had an inter-group interest in the Formula One Group.  The number of shares issuable with respect to the Formula One Group’s inter-group interest in the Braves Group is equal to the number set forth on the statement on file with the Secretary of the Registrant on the effective date of the charter.

 

Liquidation

 

Upon the Registrant’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of shares of Liberty Formula One common stock will be entitled to receive in respect of such stock their proportionate interests in the Registrant’s assets, if any, remaining for distribution to holders of common stock (regardless of the group to which such assets are then attributed) in proportion to their respective number of liquidation units per share.

 

Each share of Liberty Formula One common stock will be entitled to a number of liquidation units as set forth on the statement on file with the Secretary of the Registrant on the effective date of the charter, a copy of which will be furnished by the Registrant, on request and without cost, to any stockholder of the Registrant.

Description of Other Provisions of the Registrant’s Charter

 

Authorized Share Capital

 

The Registrant is authorized to issue up to 5,551,250,000 shares of capital stock, which will be divided into the following two classes: (i) 5,501,250,000 shares of common stock (which class is divided into the series described above), and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock (which class is issuable in series as described below).

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Registrant’s charter authorizes the board of directors of the Registrant to establish one or more series of preferred stock and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the terms and rights of the series, including:

 

·                   the designation of the series;

 

·                   the number of authorized shares of the series, which number the Registrant’s board may subsequently increase or decrease but not below the number of such shares of such series of preferred stock then outstanding;

 

·                   the dividend rate or amounts, if any, and, in the case of cumulative dividends, the date or dates from which dividends on all shares of the series will be cumulative and the relative preferences or rights of priority or participation with respect to such dividends;

 

·                   the rights of the series in the event of the Registrant’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative preferences or rights of priority of payment;

 

·                   the rights, if any, of holders of the series to convert into or exchange for other classes or series of stock or indebtedness and the terms and conditions of any such conversion or exchange, including provision for adjustments within the discretion of the Registrant’s board of directors;

 

·                   the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series;

 

·                   the terms and conditions, if any, for the Registrant to purchase or redeem the shares of the series; and

 

·                   any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of the series.

 

The Registrant believes that the ability of its board to issue one or more series of its preferred stock will provide it with flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions, and in meeting other corporate needs that might arise. The authorized shares of preferred stock, as well as shares of common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automatic quotation system on which the Registrant’s securities may be listed or traded.

 

Although the Registrant has no intention at the present time of doing so, it could issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. The Registrant’s board will make any determination to issue such shares based upon its judgment as to the best interests of its stockholders. The Registrant’s board of directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of its board of directors, including a tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of its stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price of the stock.

 

Board of Directors

 

The Registrant’s charter provides that, subject to any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors, the number of its directors will not be less than three and the exact number will be fixed from time to time by a resolution of its board. The members of the Registrant’s board, other than those who may be elected by holders of any preferred stock, will be

 

12



 

divided into three classes. Each class consists, as nearly as possible, of a number of directors equal to one-third of the then authorized number of board members. The term of office of the Class I directors of the Registrant will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2017. The term of office of Class II directors of the Registrant will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2018. The term of office of Class III directors of the Registrant will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2016.

 

At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of that class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The directors of each class will hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

The Registrant’s charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, directors may be removed from office only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the Registrant’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

The Registrant’s charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, vacancies on the board resulting from death, resignation, removal, disqualification or other cause, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors on the board, will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office (even though less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director. Any director so elected shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred or to which the new directorship is assigned, and until that director’s successor will have been elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting its board will shorten the term of any incumbent director, except as may be provided in any certificate of designation with respect to a series of preferred stock with respect to any additional director elected by the holders of that series of preferred stock.

 

These provisions would preclude a third party from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the Registrant’s board by filling the vacancies created by removal with its own nominees. Under the classified board provisions described above, it would take at least two elections of directors for any individual or group to gain control of the Registrant’s board. Accordingly, these provisions could discourage a third party from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of the Registrant.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification

 

To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant’s directors are not liable to it or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties while serving as a director. In addition, the Registrant indemnifies, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person involved in any suit or action by reason of the fact that such person is a director or officer of the Registrant or, at its request, a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or entity, against all liability, loss and expenses incurred by such person. The Registrant will pay expenses of a director or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that such payment is made upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.

 

No Shareowner Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings

 

The Registrant’s charter provides that (except as otherwise provided in the terms of any series of preferred stock), any action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders may not be taken without a meeting and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of the Registrant’s preferred stock, special meetings of the Registrant’s stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called only by its Secretary at the written request of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the total outstanding voting power or at the request of at least 75% of the members of the Registrant’s board of directors then in office.

 

13



 

Amendments

 

The Registrant’s charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of its preferred stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate voting power of the Registrant’s outstanding capital stock generally entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to its stockholders, voting together as a single class, is required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Registrant’s charter or to add or insert any provision in the Registrant’s charter, provided that the foregoing enhanced voting requirement will not apply to any adoption, amendment, repeal, addition or insertion (1) as to which Delaware law does not require the consent of the Registrant’s stockholders or (2) which has been approved by at least 75% of the members of its board then in office. The Registrant’s charter further provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate voting power of its outstanding capital stock generally entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to its stockholders, voting together as a single class, is required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of its bylaws, provided that the foregoing enhanced voting requirement will not apply to any adoption, amendment or repeal approved by the affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the members of its board then in office.

 

Supermajority Voting Provisions

 

In addition to the supermajority voting provisions discussed under “—Amendments” above, the Registrant’s charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of its preferred stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the aggregate voting power of its outstanding capital stock generally entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to its stockholders, voting together as a single class, is required for:

 

·                   its merger or consolidation with or into any other corporation (including a merger consummated pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and notwithstanding the exception to a vote of the stockholders for such a merger set forth therein), provided, that the foregoing voting provision will not apply to any such merger or consolidation (1) as to which the laws of the State of Delaware, as then in effect, do not require the consent of its stockholders (other than Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law), or (2) that at least 75% of the members of its board of directors then in office have approved;

 

·                   the sale, lease or exchange of all, or substantially all, of its assets, provided, that the foregoing voting provisions will not apply to any such sale, lease or exchange that at least 75% of the members of its board of directors then in office have approved; or

 

·                   its dissolution, provided, that the foregoing voting provision will not apply to such dissolution if at least 75% of the members of its board of directors then in office have approved such dissolution.

 

Restrictions on Ownership; Transfer of Excess Shares to a Trust

 

In order to comply with applicable policies of Major League Baseball (“ MLB ”), the Registrant’s charter contains restrictions on the transfer and ownership of shares of Liberty Braves common stock. These provisions (the “excess share provisions”) provide that, subject to certain exceptions, no person may acquire shares of Liberty Braves common stock if (i) such person (an “ MLB Employee ”) is an employee of MLB or any related entities, (ii) such person is an employee of or otherwise associated with an MLB club (other than the Atlanta Braves) and, after giving effect to such acquisition of shares, such person (an “ MLB Holder ”) would own a number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock equal to or in excess of five percent (5%) of the total number of outstanding shares of Liberty Braves common stock, or (iii) after giving effect to such acquisition or shares, such person (a “ 10% Holder ”) would own a number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock equal to or in excess of ten percent (10%) of the total number of outstanding shares of Liberty Braves common stock (with the 5% threshold in clause (ii) of this paragraph and the 10% threshold in clause (iii) of this paragraph, each being referred to as a share threshold) unless, in the case of this clause (iii) only, (1) such person has received the prior written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (such approval, the “ MLB Approval ”) or (2) such person is considered an “exempt holder,” which includes, but is not limited to, John C. Malone, Gregory B. Maffei or Terence McGuirk and each of their affiliated persons, including entities, trusts, foundations or organizations organized for the benefit of or wholly owned by any of such persons. Any person who (1) inadvertently and without the Registrant’s Actual Knowledge (as defined in the charter)

 

14



 

acquires a number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock equal to or in excess of the share threshold and (2) divests of a sufficient number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock so as to cause itself to not exceed the share threshold will not be deemed to be an MLB Holder or a 10% Holder, as applicable. Further, no person will be deemed an MLB Employee, MLB Holder or 10% Holder, unless and until the Registrant has Actual Knowledge that such person is an MLB Employee, MLB Holder or 10% Holder, as the case may be.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, in the event of a purported transfer of shares of Liberty Braves common stock (i) to an MLB Employee or (ii) that would cause such person to become an MLB Holder or a 10% Holder after giving effect to such transfer, such purported transfer will be null and void to the intended holder (the “ excess share transferor ”) with respect to (x) in the case of an MLB Employee, all such shares purported to be transferred, or (y) in the case of an MLB Holder or a 10% Holder, those shares purported to be transferred that would cause such person to equal or exceed the applicable share threshold (in the case of clause (x), all such shares, and in the case of clause (y), such excess number of shares, being referred to collectively as the “excess shares”), and instead, all excess shares will automatically be transferred to the trustee of a trust, which will be created upon the filing of the Registrant’s charter. Such excess shares will be held in the trust for the exclusive benefit of the applicable excess share transferor.

 

Following the automatic transfer of the excess shares to the trust (and except as noted below), the trustee will sell the excess shares for cash, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The excess share transferor will be entitled to receive the proceeds from such sale, net of any commissions or other expenses, tax withholding or reasonable fees and expenses of the trustee relating to the sale. In the event any excess share transferor described as a potential 10% Holder in clause (y) above exceeds the share threshold by less than 1% of the then outstanding shares of Liberty Braves common stock notifies the Registrant that it intends to seek MLB Approval, the trustee will refrain from selling the related excess shares for a specified period of time.

 

In addition, the charter provides that:

 

·                   The trustee will have all voting rights with respect to the excess shares.

 

·                   Any shares of Liberty Braves common stock issued as a dividend on the excess shares will themselves become excess shares.

 

·                   The excess share transferor will be entitled to receive from the trustee any other dividends or distributions paid on the excess shares (including, for example, distributions of shares of Liberty Formula One common stock or Liberty SiriusXM common stock).

 

·                   The excess share transferor will be entitled to receive from the trustee, in the event the excess shares are converted or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, such cash, securities or other property received by the trustee with respect to the excess shares.

 

The excess share provisions may be waived, or otherwise not enforced, in whole or in part, by the Registrant’s board upon written approval of the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (but no such waiver will affect the right of any excess share transferor to receive any funds, securities or other property to which it is then entitled). The excess share provisions included in the charter will cease to be effective upon the earlier of (1) there ceasing to be outstanding any shares of Liberty Braves common stock or (2) the fair market value, as determined by the Registrant’s board, of Braves Baseball Holdco, LLC (or any successor of such entity holding the business and assets of Atlanta National League Baseball Club, LLC) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, taken as a whole, ceasing to constitute 331/3% or more of the fair market value, as determined by the Registrant’s board, of the businesses and assets attributed to the Braves Group. Upon the termination of these provisions, all excess shares held by the trustee will be transferred to the respective excess share transferors.

 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

 

Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibits certain transactions between a Delaware corporation and an “interested stockholder.” An “interested stockholder” for this purpose is a stockholder who is directly or indirectly

 

15



 

a beneficial owner of 15% or more of the aggregate voting power of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain business combinations between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to the time that a stockholder became an interested stockholder, either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors, (2) the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the aggregate voting power of the corporation in the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, or (3) the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate voting power not owned by the interested stockholder. The Registrant is subject to Section 203.

31



 

of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) of the class or series of securities (or the securities into which such class or series is convertible or for which such class or series is exercisable or exchangeable) to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock)  corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) of such series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as compared to the other series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock).

 

(e)                                   Redemption and Other Provisions Relating to the Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock.

 

(i)                                      Redemption for Securities of one or more SiriusXM Group Subsidiaries .  At any time at which a Subsidiary of the Corporation holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to the SiriusXM Group, the Corporation may, at its option and subject to assets of the Corporation being legally available therefor, but subject (in addition to any other approval of the Corporation’s stockholders (or any series thereof) required under the DGCL in respect of such redemption, if any) to the Corporation having received the SiriusXM Group Redemption Stockholder Approval (and, to the extent applicable, the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and/or the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval), redeem outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (such shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be redeemed, the “ SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares ”) for securities of such Subsidiary (a “ Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary ”), as provided herein. The number of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares will be determined, by the Board of Directors, by multiplying (A) the number of outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date, by (B) the percentage of the Fair Value of the SiriusXM Group that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the SiriusXM Group, in each case, as determined by the Board of Directors as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, as such percentage may be adjusted by the Board of Directors in its discretion to take into account such things as it deems relevant. The aggregate number of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary to be delivered (the “ SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities ”) in redemption of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares will be equal to: (A) if the Board of Directors makes a SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Election as described below, the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the product of (I) the number of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary owned by the Corporation and (II) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the SiriusXM Group (subject to adjustment to reflect the effects of a SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Election) (such product, the “ Distributable SiriusXM Group Subsidiary Securities ”), by (y) the SiriusXM Group Outstanding Interest Fraction, in each case, as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date, or (B) if the Board of Directors does not make a SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, all of the Distributable SiriusXM Group Subsidiary Securities, in each case, subject to

 

32



 

adjustment as provided below. The number of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary to be delivered in redemption of each SiriusXM Group Redemption Share will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the number of SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, by (y) the number of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares.

 

If the SiriusXM Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one (1) on the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date for any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) and if (but only if) the Board of Directors so determines in its discretion (a “ SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Election ”), then concurrently with the distribution of the SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities in redemption of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares, the Corporation will attribute to the Braves Group and the Formula One Group an aggregate number of Distributable SiriusXM Group Subsidiary Securities (the “ SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities ”) equal to the difference between the total number of Distributable SiriusXM Group Subsidiary Securities and the number of SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, subject to adjustment as provided below.  The SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities will be allocated between the Braves Group and the Formula One Group by multiplying the number of SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities by (x), in the case of the Braves Group, the Braves Group’s Fractional Interest in the SiriusXM Group as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date and, (y) in the case of the Formula One Group, the Formula One Group’s Fractional Interest in the SiriusXM Group as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date.  If a SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Election is made, then: (I) the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased as described in subparagraph (ii)(D) of the definition of “Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest” in paragraph (j) of this Section A.2.; (II) the attribution of SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be made to the Braves Group and the Formula One Group may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to each such Group in accordance with the foregoing allocation; and (III) the Board of Directors may determine that the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities so allocated or transferred to the Braves Group and the Formula One Group will be distributed to holders of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(ii)(D) and to holders of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(iii)(D) of this Section A.2.

 

If at the time of a redemption of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that would become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Distributable SiriusXM Group Subsidiary Securities as a result of such redemption, and the obligation to deliver securities of such Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities is not assumed or otherwise provided for by the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary, then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments as it determines to be appropriate to the number of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares, the number of SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities and the number of SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities (and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable with

 

33



 

Respect to the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest, including any adjustments to the foregoing allocation between the Braves Group and the Formula One Group) to take into account the securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable.

 

In the event that not all outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock are to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (e)(i) for SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, then (1) the number of shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (e)(i) will be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of such series and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, in each case, outstanding as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date, and (2) the outstanding shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (e)(i) will be redeemed by the Corporation pro rata among the holders of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or by such other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be equitable.

 

To the extent that a Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary to be distributed pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) also holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to one or both of the Braves Group and the Formula One Group, then (x) such Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary will also be deemed a Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (f)(i) (to the extent such Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the Braves Group) and/or a Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (g)(i) (to the extent such Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the Formula One Group) and (y) in connection with the redemption of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) the Corporation will also redeem shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (f)(i) (in the event such Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary is also a Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary) and/or shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (g)(i) (in the event such Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary is also a Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary), as applicable, subject to the Corporation obtaining the SiriusXM Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and the applicable of the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and/or the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval.  In connection with any such redemption of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Liberty Braves Common Stock and/or Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as applicable, the Board of Directors will effect such redemption in accordance with the terms of paragraphs (e)(i), (f)(i) and (g)(i), as applicable, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, with such changes and adjustments as the Board of Directors determines are reasonably necessary in order to effect such redemption in exchange for securities of a single Subsidiary holding the assets and liabilities of more than one Group.  In effecting such redemption, the Board of Directors may determine to redeem the SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares, the Braves Group Redemption Shares and/or the Formula One Group Redemption Shares, in exchange for one or more classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, for separate classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, (I) with the holders of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares to receive SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities

 

34



 

attributed to the SiriusXM Group held by such Subsidiary, (II) with holders of Braves Group Redemption Shares to receive Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group held by such Subsidiary and/or (III) with holders of Formula One Group Redemption Shares to receive Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group held by such Subsidiary, subject, in each case, to the applicable limitations on the class and series of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary set forth in the last paragraph of paragraphs (e)(i), (f)(i) and (g)(i), as applicable.

 

Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) will occur on a SiriusXM Group Redemption Date set forth in a notice to holders of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (and Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (unless provision for notice is otherwise made pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities)) pursuant to paragraph (e)(iv)(C).

 

In effecting a redemption of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i), the Board of Directors may determine either to (x) redeem shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in exchange for a single class or series of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary without distinction among series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, on an equal per share basis, (y) redeem shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in exchange for separate classes or series of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary, on an equal per share basis, or (z) redeem shares of one or more series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in exchange for a separate class or series of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary and, on an equal per share basis, redeem shares of all other series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in exchange for a different class or series of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary; provided , that , in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in such redemption consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock

 

35



 

corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock) of such series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock.  If the Board of Directors has made a SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, then the determination as to the classes or series of securities of the Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary comprising the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be so transferred or allocated to the Braves Group and/or the Formula One Group will be made by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

 

(ii)                                   Mandatory Dividend, Redemption or Conversion in Case of SiriusXM Group Disposition .  In the event of a SiriusXM Group Disposition (other than an Exempt SiriusXM Group Disposition), the Corporation will, on or prior to the 120th Trading Day following the consummation of such SiriusXM Group Disposition and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section A.2., take the actions referred to in one of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) below, as elected by the Board of Directors:

 

(A)                                Subject to the first sentence of paragraph (c)(i) of this Section A.2. the Corporation may declare and pay a dividend payable in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, to the holders of outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such SiriusXM Group Disposition as of the record date for determining the holders entitled to receive such dividend, as the same may be determined by the Board of Directors, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraph (c)(i) and (d)(i) of this Section A.2.; or

 

(B)                                Provided that there are assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and the SiriusXM Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph (e)(ii) in lieu of effecting the redemption provided for in this clause (B), then:

 

(I)                                    if such SiriusXM Group Disposition involves all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the SiriusXM Group, the Corporation may redeem all outstanding shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such SiriusXM Group Disposition as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Date, as determined by the Board of Directors, such aggregate amount to be allocated among the shares of all series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock outstanding as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Date on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)); or

 

(II)                               if such SiriusXM Group Disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the SiriusXM Group, the Corporation may apply an aggregate amount (subject to adjustment as provided below) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with a Fair Value equal to the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such SiriusXM Group Disposition as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date (the “ SiriusXM Group Redemption Amount ”) to the redemption of outstanding shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, such

 

36



 

SiriusXM Group Redemption Amount to be allocated (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)) to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in the ratio of (x) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date to (y) the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock outstanding as of such date, and the number of shares of each such series to be redeemed will equal the lesser of (1) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date and (2) the whole number nearest the number obtained by dividing the aggregate amount so allocated to the redemption of such series by the Average Market Value of the Liberty SiriusXM Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such SiriusXM Group Disposition; provided   that, if following the foregoing allocation there remains any amount of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Amount which is not being applied to the redemption of shares of a series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, then such excess amount will be allocated to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that, following the initial allocation referred to above, would have shares outstanding and not redeemed, with the number of outstanding and not redeemed shares to be redeemed from each such series to be calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding sentence based upon such excess amount of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Amount.  The outstanding shares of a series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis among the holders of such series or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable; or

 

(C)                                The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty Braves Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty SiriusXM Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such SiriusXM Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Braves Group Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

 

(D)                                The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty Formula One Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty SiriusXM Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such SiriusXM Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Formula One Group Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

 

37



 

(E)                                 The Corporation may combine the conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into Liberty Braves Common Stock or Liberty Formula One Common Stock as contemplated by clauses (C) and (D) of this paragraph (e)(ii) with the payment of a dividend on or the redemption of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock as described below, subject to the limitations specified in clause (A) (in the case of a dividend) or clause (B) (in the case of a redemption) of this paragraph (e)(ii) (including the limitations specified in other paragraphs of this Certificate referred to therein).  In the event the Board of Directors elects the option described in this clause (E), the portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock or Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as applicable, will be determined by the Board of Directors and will be so converted at the conversion rate determined in accordance with clause (C) or clause (D) above, as applicable, and the Corporation will either (x) pay a dividend to the holders of record of all of the remaining shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock outstanding, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (c)(i) and (d)(i) of this Section A.2., or (y) redeem all or a portion of such remaining shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock. The aggregate amount of such dividend, in the case of a dividend, or the portion of the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption, in the case of a redemption, will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (I) an amount equal to the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such SiriusXM Group Disposition as of, in the case of a dividend, the record date for determining the holders of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend and, in the case of a redemption, the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date (in the case of a partial redemption) or the SiriusXM Group Redemption Date (in the case of a full redemption), in each case, before giving effect to the conversion of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in connection with such SiriusXM Group Disposition in accordance with this clause (E) and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest, by (II) one minus a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be converted into shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock or Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with this clause (E) and the denominator of which will be the aggregate number of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock outstanding as of the record date, SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date or SiriusXM Group Redemption Date used for purposes of clause (I) of this sentence. In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, if the SiriusXM Group Disposition was of all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the SiriusXM Group, then all remaining outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the portion of the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption determined in accordance with this clause (E), such aggregate amount to be allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)).  In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, if the SiriusXM Group Disposition was of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the SiriusXM Group, then the number of shares of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be redeemed will be determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) of this paragraph (e)(ii), substituting for the SiriusXM Group Redemption Amount

 

38



 

referred to therein the portion of the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with this clause (E), and such shares will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to such portion of the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds and allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)).  The aggregate number of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock to be converted in any partial conversion in accordance with this clause (E) will be allocated among the series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in the ratio of the number of shares of each such series outstanding to the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock outstanding as of the SiriusXM Group Conversion Selection Date, and the shares of each such series to be converted will be selected on a pro rata basis or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable.  In the case of a redemption, the allocation of the cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) and/or other assets to be paid in redemption and, in the case of a partial redemption, the selection of shares to be redeemed will be made in the manner contemplated by clause (B) of this paragraph (e)(ii).

 

For purposes of this paragraph (e)(ii):

 

(1)                                  as of any date, “ substantially all of the assets of the SiriusXM Group ” means a portion of such assets that represents at least 80% of the then-Fair Value of the assets of the SiriusXM Group as of such date;

 

(2)                                  in the case of a SiriusXM Group Disposition of assets in a series of related transactions, such SiriusXM Group Disposition will not be deemed to have been consummated until the consummation of the last of such transactions;

 

(3)                                  if the Board of Directors seeks the approval of the holders of Liberty SiriusXM Group Voting Securities entitled to vote thereon to qualify a SiriusXM Group Disposition as an Exempt SiriusXM Group Disposition and such approval is not obtained, the date on which such approval fails to be obtained will be treated as the date on which such SiriusXM Group Disposition was consummated for purposes of making the determinations and taking the actions prescribed by this paragraph (e)(ii) and paragraph (e)(iv), and no subsequent vote may be taken to qualify such SiriusXM Group Disposition as an Exempt SiriusXM Group Disposition;

 

(4)                                  in the event of a redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to clause (B)(II) or (E) of this paragraph (e)(ii) at a time when the SiriusXM Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one, if the Board of Directors so elects (a “ SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Partial Redemption Election ”), in its discretion, the Corporation will attribute to the Braves Group and the Formula One Group concurrently with such redemption an aggregate amount (the “ SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount ”) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment as described below, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the difference between (x) the SiriusXM Group Net Proceeds and (y) the portion of the SiriusXM Group Allocable Net Proceeds applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) or clause (E) of this paragraph (e)(ii).  If the Board of Directors makes such election, the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the SiriusXM

 

39



 

Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased in the manner described in subparagraph (ii)(E) of the definition of “Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest” in paragraph (j) of this Section A.2.  The SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount will be attributed between the Braves Group and the Formula One Group based upon the Braves Group’s Fractional Interest in the SiriusXM Group as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date and the Formula One Group’s Fractional Interest in the SiriusXM Group as of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Selection Date and may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of cash, securities and/or other assets;

 

(5)                                  if at the time of a SiriusXM Group Disposition subject to this paragraph (e)(ii), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that would give the holders thereof the right to receive any consideration related to such SiriusXM Group Disposition upon conversion, exercise or exchange or otherwise, or would adjust to give the holders equivalent economic rights, as a result of any dividend, redemption or other action taken by the Corporation with respect to the Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (e)(ii), then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments to (x) the amount of consideration to be issued or delivered as contemplated by this paragraph (e)(ii) as a dividend on or in redemption or conversion of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and/or, if applicable, (y) the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount and the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the SiriusXM Group Inter-Group Interest as it deems appropriate to take into account the Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable;

 

(6)                                  the Corporation may pay the dividend or redemption price referred to in clause (A), (B) or (E) of this paragraph (e)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, that the Board of Directors determines and which has an aggregate Fair Value of not less than the amount allocated to such dividend or redemption pursuant to the applicable of clauses (A), (B) or (E) of this paragraph (e)(ii), regardless of the form or nature of the proceeds received by the Corporation from the SiriusXM Group Disposition; and

 

(7)                                  if all or any portion of the redemption price referred to in clause (B) or (E) of this paragraph (e)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock is paid in the form of securities of an issuer other than the Corporation, the Board of Directors may determine to pay the redemption price, so payable in securities, in the form of (x) identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, (y) separate classes or series of securities, on an equal per share basis, to the holders of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or (z) a separate class or series of securities to the holders of one or more series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and, on an equal per share basis, a different class or series of securities to the holders of all other series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock; provided , that , in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM

 

40



 

Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock) of such series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock.

 

(iii)                                Certain Provisions Respecting Convertible Securities .  Unless the provisions of any Convertible Securities that are or become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock provide specifically to the contrary, or the instrument, plan or agreement evidencing such Convertible Securities or pursuant to which the same were issued grants to the Board of Directors the discretion to approve or authorize any adjustment or adjustments to the conversion, exercise or exchange provisions of such Convertible Securities so as to obtain a result different from that which would otherwise occur pursuant to this paragraph (e)(iii), and the Board of Directors so approves or authorizes such adjustment or adjustments, after any SiriusXM Group Conversion Date or SiriusXM Group Redemption Date on which all outstanding shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock were converted or redeemed, any share of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that is issued on conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Security will, immediately upon issuance and without any notice or any other action on the part of the Corporation or its Board of Directors or the holder of such share of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, be redeemed in exchange for, to the extent assets of the Corporation are legally available therefor, the amount of $.01 per share in cash.

(G)                                Before any holder of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock will be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of any kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to be received by such holder with respect to shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. (other than paragraph (b)(i) thereof) or this paragraph (e), such holder will surrender at such place as the Corporation will specify certificates (if any) representing such shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation will waive such requirement).  The Corporation will as soon as practicable after such surrender of a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the office of the transfer agent for the shares or other securities to be delivered, to the holder for whose account shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock were so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to which such Person will be entitled as aforesaid, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (e)(iv)(I).  If less than all of the shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be redeemed or converted, the Corporation will issue and deliver a new certificate for the shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock not redeemed or converted.

45



 

Corporation to be received by any holder of uncertificated shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. (other than paragraph (b)(i) thereof) or this paragraph (e) shall be issued in book-entry form, without physical certificates, and shall be registered in the book entry account system of the Corporation’s transfer agent in the names of the holders thereof. Shares selected for redemption may not thereafter be converted pursuant to paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section A.2.

 

(H)                               From and after any applicable SiriusXM Group Conversion Date or SiriusXM Group Redemption Date, all rights of a holder of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that were converted or redeemed on such SiriusXM Group Conversion Date or SiriusXM Group Redemption Date, as applicable, will cease except for the right, upon surrender of a certificate or certificates (if any) representing such shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, to receive a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of the kind and amount of capital stock or cash, securities (other than capital stock) or other assets for which such shares were converted or redeemed, as applicable, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (e)(iv)(I) of this Section A.2. and such holder will have no other or further rights in respect of the shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock so converted or redeemed, including, but not limited to, any rights with respect to any cash, securities or other assets which are reserved or otherwise designated by the Corporation as being held for the satisfaction of the Corporation’s obligations to pay or deliver any cash, securities or other assets upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of such conversion or redemption.  No holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the applicable SiriusXM Group Conversion Date or SiriusXM Group Redemption Date represented shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock will be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to shares of any kind of capital stock into or in exchange for which the Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock was converted or redeemed until surrender of such holder’s certificate (if any).  Upon such surrender, there will be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore became payable with respect to a record date after the SiriusXM Group Conversion Date or SiriusXM Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, but that were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender.  From and after a SiriusXM Group Conversion Date or SiriusXM Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, the Corporation will, however, be entitled to treat any certificates representing shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock that have not yet been surrendered for conversion or redemption in accordance with clause (G) above as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of the kind or kinds of capital stock for which the shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock represented by such certificates will have been converted or redeemed in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section A.2 or this paragraph (e), notwithstanding the failure of the holder thereof to surrender such certificates.

 

(I)                                    The Corporation will not be required to issue or deliver fractional shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other securities in a smaller than authorized denomination to any holder of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock upon any conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution pursuant to paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of this Section A.2 or this paragraph (e).  In connection with the determination of the number of shares of any class or series of capital stock that will be issuable or the amount of other securities that will be deliverable to any holder of record of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock upon any such

 

46



 

conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution (including any fractions of shares or securities), the Corporation may aggregate the shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock held at the relevant time by such holder of record.  If the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or other securities to be issued or delivered to any holder of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock includes a fraction, the Corporation will pay, or will cause to be paid, a cash adjustment in lieu of such fraction in an amount equal to the “ value ” of such fraction, as the Board of Directors shall in good faith determine to be appropriate (without interest).

 

(J)                                    Any deadline for effecting a dividend, redemption or conversion prescribed by this paragraph (e) may be extended if deemed necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, to enable the Corporation to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(f)                                    Redemption and Other Provisions Relating to the Liberty Braves Common Stock.

 

(i)                                      Redemption for Securities of one or more Braves Group Subsidiaries .  At any time at which a Subsidiary of the Corporation holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group, the Corporation may, at its option and subject to assets of the Corporation being legally available therefor but subject (in addition to any other approval of the Corporation’s stockholders (or any series thereof) required under the DGCL in respect of such redemption, if any) to the Corporation having received the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval (and, to the extent applicable, the SiriusXM Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and/or the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval), redeem outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock (such shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be redeemed, the “ Braves Group Redemption Shares ”) for securities of such Subsidiary (a “ Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary ”), as provided herein. The number of Braves Group Redemption Shares will be determined, by the Board of Directors, by multiplying (A) the number of outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date, by (B) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Braves Group that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the Braves Group, in each case, as determined by the Board of Directors as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, as such percentage may be adjusted by the Board of Directors in its discretion to take into account such things as it deems relevant. The aggregate number of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary to be delivered (the “ Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities ”) in redemption of the Braves Group Redemption Shares will be equal to: (A) if the Board of Directors makes a Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Election as described below, the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the product of (I) the number of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary owned by the Corporation and (II) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the Braves Group (subject to adjustment to reflect the effects of a Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Election) (such product, the “ Distributable Braves Group Subsidiary Securities ”), by (y) the Braves Group Outstanding Interest Fraction, in each case, as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date, or (B) if the Board of Directors does not make a Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, all of the Distributable Braves Group Subsidiary Securities, in each case, subject to

 

47



 

adjustment as provided below. The number of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary to be delivered in redemption of each Braves Group Redemption Share will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the number of Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, by (y) the number of Braves Group Redemption Shares.

 

If the Braves Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one (1) on the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date for any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) and if (but only if) the Board of Directors so determines in its discretion (a “ Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Election ”), then concurrently with the distribution of the Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities in redemption of Braves Group Redemption Shares, the Corporation will attribute to the SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group an aggregate number of Distributable Braves Group Subsidiary Securities (the “ Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities ”) equal to the difference between the total number of Distributable Braves Group Subsidiary Securities and the number of Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, subject to adjustment as provided below.  The Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities will be allocated between the SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group by multiplying the number of Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities by (x), in the case of the SiriusXM Group, the SiriusXM Group’s Fractional Interest in the Braves Group as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date and, (y) in the case of the Formula One Group, the Formula One Group’s Fractional Interest in the Braves Group as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date.  If a Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Election is made, then: (I) the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased as described in subparagraph (ii)(D) of the definition of “Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest” in paragraph (j) of this Section A.2.; (II) the attribution of Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be made to the SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to each such Group in accordance with the foregoing allocation; and (III) the Board of Directors may determine that the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities so allocated or transferred to the SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group will be distributed to holders of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(i)(D) and to holders of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(iii)(D) of this Section A.2.

 

If at the time of a redemption of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock that would become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Distributable Braves Group Subsidiary Securities as a result of such redemption, and the obligation to deliver securities of such Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities is not assumed or otherwise provided for by the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary, then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments as it determines to be appropriate to the number of Braves Group Redemption Shares, the number of Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities and the number of Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities (and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest, including any adjustments to the foregoing allocation between the SiriusXM Group and

 

48



 

the Formula One Group) to take into account the securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable.

 

In the event that not all outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock are to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (f)(i) for Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, then (1) the number of shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (f)(i) will be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Braves Group Redemption Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of such series and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, in each case, outstanding as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date, and (2) the outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (f)(i) will be redeemed by the Corporation pro rata among the holders of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock or by such other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be equitable.

 

To the extent that a Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary to be distributed pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) also holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to one or both of the SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group, then (x) such Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary will also be deemed a Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (e)(i) (to the extent such Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the SiriusXM Group) and/or a Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (g)(i) (to the extent such Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the Formula One Group) and (y) in connection with the redemption of Braves Group Redemption Shares pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) the Corporation will also redeem shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (e)(i) (in the event such Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary is also a Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary) and/or shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (g)(i) (in the event such Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary is also a Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary), as applicable, subject to the Corporation obtaining the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and the applicable of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and/or the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval.  In connection with any such redemption of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Liberty Braves Common Stock and/or Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as applicable, the Board of Directors will effect such redemption in accordance with the terms of paragraphs (e)(i), (f)(i) and (g)(i), as applicable, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, with such changes and adjustments as the Board of Directors determines are reasonably necessary in order to effect such redemption in exchange for securities of a single Subsidiary holding the assets and liabilities of more than one Group.  In effecting such redemption, the Board of Directors may determine to redeem the SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares, the Braves Group Redemption Shares and/or the Formula One Group Redemption Shares, in exchange for one or more classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, for separate classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, (I) with the holders of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares to receive SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the SiriusXM Group held by such Subsidiary, (II) with holders of Braves Group

Redemption Shares to receive Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group held by such Subsidiary and/or (III) with holders of Formula One Group Redemption Shares to receive Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group held by such Subsidiary, subject, in each case, to the applicable limitations on the class and series of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary set forth in the last paragraph of paragraphs (e)(i), (f)(i) and (g)(i), as applicable.

 

Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) will occur on a Braves Group Redemption Date set forth in a notice to holders of Liberty Braves Common Stock (and Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty Braves Common Stock (unless provision for notice is otherwise made pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities)) pursuant to paragraph (f)(iv)(C).

 

In effecting a redemption of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i), the Board of Directors may determine either to (x) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock in exchange for a single class or series of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary without distinction among series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, on an equal per share basis, (y) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock in exchange for separate classes or series of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary, on an equal per share basis, or (z) redeem shares of one or more series of Liberty Braves Common Stock in exchange for a separate class or series of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary and, on an equal per share basis, redeem shares of all other series of Liberty Braves Common Stock in exchange for a different class or series of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary; provided , that , in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty Braves Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty Braves Common Stock, the Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock and the Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock, and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock in such redemption consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, other than the Series B

 

50



 

Liberty Braves Common Stock) of such series of Liberty Braves Common Stock.  If the Board of Directors has made a Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, then the determination as to the classes or series of securities of the Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary comprising the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be so transferred or allocated to the Formula One Group and/or the SiriusXM Group will be made by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

 

(ii)                                   Mandatory Dividend, Redemption or Conversion in Case of Braves Group Disposition .  In the event of a Braves Group Disposition (other than an Exempt Braves Group Disposition), the Corporation will, on or prior to the 120th Trading Day following the consummation of such Braves Group Disposition and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section A.2., take the actions referred to in one of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) below, as elected by the Board of Directors:

 

(A)                                Subject to the first sentence of paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section A.2. the Corporation may declare and pay a dividend payable in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, to the holders of outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Braves Group Disposition as of the record date for determining the holders entitled to receive such dividend, as the same may be determined by the Board of Directors, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraph (c)(ii) and (d)(ii) of this Section A.2.; or

 

(B)                                Provided that there are assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and the Braves Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph (f)(ii) in lieu of effecting the redemption provided for in this clause (B), then:

 

(I)                                    if such Braves Group Disposition involves all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Braves Group, the Corporation may redeem all outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Braves Group Disposition as of the Braves Group Redemption Date, as determined by the Board of Directors, such aggregate amount to be allocated among the shares of all series of Liberty Braves Common Stock outstanding as of the Braves Group Redemption Date on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)); or

 

(II)                               if such Braves Group Disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Braves Group, the Corporation may apply an aggregate amount (subject to adjustment as provided below) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with a Fair Value equal to the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Braves Group Disposition as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date (the “ Braves Group Redemption Amount ”) to the redemption of outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, such Braves Group Redemption Amount to be allocated (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)) to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock in the ratio of (x) the number of shares of such

 

51



 

series outstanding as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date to (y) the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Braves Common Stock outstanding as of such date, and the number of shares of each such series to be redeemed will equal the lesser of (1) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date and (2) the whole number nearest the number obtained by dividing the aggregate amount so allocated to the redemption of such series by the Average Market Value of the Liberty Braves Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Braves Group Disposition; provided   that, if following the foregoing allocation there remains any amount of the Braves Group Redemption Amount which is not being applied to the redemption of shares of a series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, then such excess amount will be allocated to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock that, following the initial allocation referred to above, would have shares outstanding and not redeemed, with the number of outstanding and not redeemed shares to be redeemed from each such series to be calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding sentence based upon such excess amount of the Braves Group Redemption Amount.  The outstanding shares of a series of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis among the holders of such series or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable; or

 

(C)                                The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Braves Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Braves Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Braves Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty SiriusXM Group Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

 

(D)                                The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Braves Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty Formula One Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Braves Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Braves Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Formula One Group Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

 

(E)                                 The Corporation may combine the conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock into Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or

 

52



 

Liberty Formula One Common Stock as contemplated by clauses (C) and (D) of this paragraph (f)(ii) with the payment of a dividend on or the redemption of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock as described below, subject to the limitations specified in clause (A) (in the case of a dividend) or clause (B) (in the case of a redemption) of this paragraph (f)(ii) (including the limitations specified in other paragraphs of this Certificate referred to therein).  In the event the Board of Directors elects the option described in this clause (E), the portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as applicable, will be determined by the Board of Directors and will be so converted at the conversion rate determined in accordance with clause (C) or clause (D) above, as applicable, and the Corporation will either (x) pay a dividend to the holders of record of all of the remaining shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock outstanding, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (c)(ii) and (d)(ii) of this Section A.2., or (y) redeem all or a portion of such remaining shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock. The aggregate amount of such dividend, in the case of a dividend, or the portion of the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption, in the case of a redemption, will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (I) an amount equal to the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Braves Group Disposition as of, in the case of a dividend, the record date for determining the holders of Liberty Braves Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend and, in the case of a redemption, the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date (in the case of a partial redemption) or the Braves Group Redemption Date (in the case of a full redemption), in each case, before giving effect to the conversion of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock in connection with such Braves Group Disposition in accordance with this clause (E) and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest, by (II) one minus a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be converted into shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with this clause (E) and the denominator of which will be the aggregate number of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock outstanding as of the record date, Braves Group Redemption Selection Date or Braves Group Redemption Date used for purposes of clause (I) of this sentence. In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, if the Braves Group Disposition was of all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Braves Group, then all remaining outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the portion of the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption determined in accordance with this clause (E), such aggregate amount to be allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)).  In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, if the Braves Group Disposition was of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Braves Group, then the number of shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be redeemed will be determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) of this paragraph (f)(ii), substituting for the Braves Group Redemption Amount referred to therein the portion of the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with this clause (E), and such shares will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other assets, or

 

53



 

any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to such portion of the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds and allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)).  The aggregate number of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock to be converted in any partial conversion in accordance with this clause (E) will be allocated among the series of Liberty Braves Common Stock in the ratio of the number of shares of each such series outstanding to the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Braves Common Stock outstanding as of the Braves Group Conversion Selection Date, and the shares of each such series to be converted will be selected on a pro rata basis or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable.  In the case of a redemption, the allocation of the cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) and/or other assets to be paid in redemption and, in the case of a partial redemption, the selection of shares to be redeemed will be made in the manner contemplated by clause (B) of this paragraph (f)(ii).

 

For purposes of this paragraph (f)(ii):

 

(1)                                  as of any date, “substantially all of the assets of the Braves Group” means a portion of such assets that represents at least 80% of the then-Fair Value of the assets of the Braves Group as of such date;

 

(2)                                  in the case of a Braves Group Disposition of assets in a series of related transactions, such Braves Group Disposition will not be deemed to have been consummated until the consummation of the last of such transactions;

 

(3)                                  if the Board of Directors seeks the approval of the holders of Liberty Braves Group Voting Securities entitled to vote thereon to qualify a Braves Group Disposition as an Exempt Braves Group Disposition and such approval is not obtained, the date on which such approval fails to be obtained will be treated as the date on which such Braves Group Disposition was consummated for purposes of making the determinations and taking the actions prescribed by this paragraph (f)(ii) and paragraph (f)(iv), and no subsequent vote may be taken to qualify such Braves Group Disposition as an Exempt Braves Group Disposition;

 

(4)                                  in the event of a redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to clause (B)(II) or (E) of this paragraph (f)(ii) at a time when the Braves Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one, if the Board of Directors so elects (a “ Braves Group Inter-Group Partial Redemption Election ”), in its discretion, the Corporation will attribute to the SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group concurrently with such redemption an aggregate amount (the “ Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount ”) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment as described below, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the difference between (x) the Braves Group Net Proceeds and (y) the portion of the Braves Group Allocable Net Proceeds applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) or clause (E) of this paragraph (f)(ii).  If the Board of Directors makes such election, the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased in the manner described in subparagraph (ii)(E) of the definition of “Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest” in paragraph (j) of this Section A.2. The Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount will be

 

54



 

attributed between the SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group based upon the SiriusXM Group’s Fractional Interest in the Braves Group as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date and the Formula One Group’s Fractional Interest in the Braves Group as of the Braves Group Redemption Selection Date and may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of cash, securities and/or other assets;

 

(5)                                  if at the time of a Braves Group Disposition subject to this paragraph (f)(ii), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock that would give the holders thereof the right to receive any consideration related to such Braves Group Disposition upon conversion, exercise or exchange or otherwise, or would adjust to give the holders equivalent economic rights, as a result of any dividend, redemption or other action taken by the Corporation with respect to the Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (f)(ii), then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments to (x) the amount of consideration to be issued or delivered as contemplated by this paragraph (f)(ii) as a dividend on or in redemption or conversion of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock and/or, if applicable, (y) the Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount and the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest as it deems appropriate to take into account the Liberty Braves Common Stock into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable;

 

(6)                                  the Corporation may pay the dividend or redemption price referred to in clause (A), (B) or (E) of this paragraph (f)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Braves Common Stock in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, that the Board of Directors determines and which has an aggregate Fair Value of not less than the amount allocated to such dividend or redemption pursuant to the applicable of clauses (A), (B) or (E) of this paragraph (f)(ii), regardless of the form or nature of the proceeds received by the Corporation from the Braves Group Disposition; and

 

(7)                                  if all or any portion of the redemption price referred to in clause (B) or (E) of this paragraph (f)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Braves Common Stock is paid in the form of securities of an issuer other than the Corporation, the Board of Directors may determine to pay the redemption price, so payable in securities, in the form of (x) identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, (y) separate classes or series of securities, on an equal per share basis, to the holders of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock or (z) a separate class or series of securities to the holders of one or more series of Liberty Braves Common Stock and, on an equal per share basis, a different class or series of securities to the holders of all other series of Liberty Braves Common Stock; provided , that , in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty Braves Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share

 

55



 

distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty Braves Common Stock, the Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock and the Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock) of such series of Liberty Braves Common Stock.

 

(iii)                                Certain Provisions Respecting Convertible Securities .  Unless the provisions of any Convertible Securities that are or become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty Braves Common Stock provide specifically to the contrary, or the instrument, plan or agreement evidencing such Convertible Securities or pursuant to which the same were issued grants to the Board of Directors the discretion to approve or authorize any adjustment or adjustments to the conversion, exercise or exchange provisions of such Convertible Securities so as to obtain a result different from that which would otherwise occur pursuant to this paragraph (f)(iii), and the Board of Directors so approves or authorizes such adjustment or adjustments, after any Braves Group Conversion Date or Braves Group Redemption Date on which all outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock were converted or redeemed, any share of Liberty Braves Common Stock that is issued on conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Security will, immediately upon issuance and without any notice or any other action on the part of the Corporation or its Board of Directors or the holder of such share of Liberty Braves Common Stock, be redeemed in exchange for, to the extent assets of the Corporation are legally available therefor, the amount of $.01 per share in cash.

 

(iv)                               General .

(VI)                           if the Board of Directors has made a Braves Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, the number of Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities attributable to each Group other than the Braves Group, and the Number of Shares Issuable to the SiriusXM Group with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest and the Number of Shares Issuable to the Formula One Group with Respect to the Braves Group Inter-Group Interest, in each case, used in determining such number and attribution of Braves Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities;

 

(VII)                      instructions as to how shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock may be surrendered for redemption; and

If, at the time of issuance of the press release required by this paragraph (C), the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, such press release shall include as much of the information set forth in subparagraphs (I) to (VIII) as is then available, and the Corporation will issue a second press release once the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval is obtained setting forth any such required information not included in the first press release.

 

59



 

(D)                                The Corporation will give such notice to holders of Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Liberty Braves Common Stock as may be required by the terms of such Convertible Securities or as the Board of Directors may otherwise deem appropriate in connection with a dividend, redemption or conversion of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to this Section A.2., as applicable.

 

(E)                                 All public announcements (including any proxy materials to the extent approval of the stockholders of the Corporation is sought or required) made pursuant to clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this paragraph (f)(iv) will include such further statements, and the Corporation reserves the right to make such further public announcements, as may be required by law or the rules of the principal national securities exchange on which the Liberty Braves Common Stock is listed or as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, deem appropriate.

 

(F)                                  No adjustments in respect of dividends will be made upon the conversion or redemption of any shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock; provided , however , that, except as otherwise contemplated by paragraph (f)(ii)(E), if the Braves Group Conversion Date or the Braves Group Redemption Date with respect to any shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock will be subsequent to the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution thereon or with respect thereto, but prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution, the holders of record of such shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock at the close of business on such record date will be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on or with respect to such shares on the date set for payment of such dividend or other distribution, notwithstanding the prior conversion or redemption of such shares.

 

(G)                                Before any holder of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock will be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of any kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to be received by such holder with respect to shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. (other than paragraph (b)(i) thereof) or this paragraph (f), such holder will surrender at such place as the Corporation will specify certificates (if any) representing such shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation will waive such requirement).  The Corporation will as soon as practicable after such surrender of a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the office of the transfer agent for the shares or other securities to be delivered, to the holder for whose account shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock were so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to which such Person will be entitled as aforesaid, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (f)(iv)(I).  If less than all of the shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be redeemed or converted, the Corporation will issue and deliver a new certificate for the shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock not redeemed or converted. Any shares of capital stock of the Corporation to be received by any holder of uncertificated shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. (other than paragraph (b)(i) thereof) or this paragraph (f) shall be issued in book-entry form, without physical certificates, and shall be registered in the book entry account system of the Corporation’s transfer agent in the names of the holders thereof. Shares selected for redemption may not thereafter be converted pursuant to paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section A.2.

 

60



 

(H)                               From and after any applicable Braves Group Conversion Date or Braves Group Redemption Date, all rights of a holder of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock that were converted or redeemed on such Braves Group Conversion Date or Braves Group Redemption Date, as applicable, will cease except for the right, upon surrender of a certificate or certificates (if any) representing such shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, to receive a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of the kind and amount of capital stock or cash, securities (other than capital stock) or other assets for which such shares were converted or redeemed, as applicable, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (f)(iv)(I) of this Section A.2. and such holder will have no other or further rights in respect of the shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock so converted or redeemed, including, but not limited to, any rights with respect to any cash, securities or other assets which are reserved or otherwise designated by the Corporation as being held for the satisfaction of the Corporation’s obligations to pay or deliver any cash, securities or other assets upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of such conversion or redemption.  No holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the applicable Braves Group Conversion Date or Braves Group Redemption Date represented shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock will be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to shares of any kind of capital stock into or in exchange for which the Liberty Braves Common Stock was converted or redeemed until surrender of such holder’s certificate (if any).  Upon such surrender, there will be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore became payable with respect to a record date after the Braves Group Conversion Date or Braves Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, but that were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender.  From and after a Braves Group Conversion Date or Braves Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, the Corporation will, however, be entitled to treat any certificates representing shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock that have not yet been surrendered for conversion or redemption in accordance with clause (G) above as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of the kind or kinds of capital stock for which the shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock represented by such certificates will have been converted or redeemed in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section A.2 or this paragraph (f), notwithstanding the failure of the holder thereof to surrender such certificates.

 

(I)                                    The Corporation will not be required to issue or deliver fractional shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other securities in a smaller than authorized denomination to any holder of Liberty Braves Common Stock upon any conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution pursuant to paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of this Section A.2. or this paragraph (f).  In connection with the determination of the number of shares of any class or series of capital stock that will be issuable or the amount of other securities that will be deliverable to any holder of record of Liberty Braves Common Stock upon any such conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution (including any fractions of shares or securities), the Corporation may aggregate the shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock held at the relevant time by such holder of record.  If the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or other securities to be issued or delivered to any holder of Liberty Braves Common Stock includes a fraction, the Corporation will pay, or will cause to be paid, a cash adjustment in lieu of such fraction in an amount equal to the “ value ” of such fraction, as the Board of Directors shall in good faith determine to be appropriate (without interest).

 

61



 

(J)                                    Any deadline for effecting a dividend, redemption or conversion prescribed by this paragraph (f) may be extended if deemed necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, to enable the Corporation to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(g)                                   Redemption and Other Provisions Relating to the Liberty Formula One Common Stock.

 

(i)                                      Redemption for Securities of one or more Formula One Group Subsidiaries .  At any time at which a Subsidiary of the Corporation holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group, the Corporation may, at its option and subject to assets of the Corporation being legally available therefor, but subject (in addition to any other approval of the Corporation’s stockholders (or any series thereof) required under the DGCL in respect of such redemption, if any) to the Corporation having received the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval (and, to the extent applicable, the SiriusXM Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and/or the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval), redeem outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock (such shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be redeemed, the “ Formula One Group Redemption Shares ”) for securities of such Subsidiary (a “ Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary ”), as provided herein. The number of Formula One Group Redemption Shares will be determined, by the Board of Directors, by multiplying (A) the number of outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date, by (B) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Formula One Group that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the Formula One Group, in each case, as determined by the Board of Directors as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, as such percentage may be adjusted by the Board of Directors in its discretion to take into account such things as it deems relevant. The aggregate number of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary to be delivered (the “ Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities ”) in redemption of the Formula One Group Redemption Shares will be equal to: (A) if the Board of Directors makes a Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Election as described below, the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the product of (I) the number of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary owned by the Corporation and (II) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation’s equity interest in the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the Formula One Group (subject to adjustment to reflect the effects of a Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Election) (such product, the “ Distributable Formula One Group Subsidiary Securities ”), by (y) the Formula One Group Outstanding Interest Fraction, in each case, as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date, or (B) if the Board of Directors does not make a Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, all of the Distributable Formula One Group Subsidiary Securities, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided below. The number of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary to be delivered in redemption of each Formula One Group Redemption Share will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the number of Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, by (y) the number of Formula One Group Redemption Shares.

 

62



 

If the Formula One Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one (1) on the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date for any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (g)(i) and if (but only if) the Board of Directors so determines in its discretion (a “ Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Election ”), then concurrently with the distribution of the Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities in redemption of Formula One Group Redemption Shares, the Corporation will attribute to the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group an aggregate number of Distributable Formula One Group Subsidiary Securities (the “ Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities ”) equal to the difference between the total number of Distributable Formula One Group Subsidiary Securities and the number of Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, subject to adjustment as provided below.  The Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities will be allocated between the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group by multiplying the number of Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities by (x), in the case of the SiriusXM Group, the SiriusXM Group’s Fractional Interest in the Formula One Group as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date and, (y) in the case of the Braves Group, the Braves Group’s Fractional Interest in the Formula One Group as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date.  If a Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Election is made, then: (I) the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased as described in subparagraph (ii)(D) of the definition of “Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest” in paragraph (j) of this Section A.2.; (II) the attribution of Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be made to the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to each such Group in accordance with the foregoing allocation; and (III) the Board of Directors may determine that the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities so allocated or transferred to the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group will be distributed to holders of shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(i)(D) and to holders of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(ii)(D) of this Section A.2.

 

If at the time of a redemption of Liberty Formula One Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (g)(i), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock that would become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Distributable Formula One Group Subsidiary Securities as a result of such redemption, and the obligation to deliver securities of such Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities is not assumed or otherwise provided for by the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary, then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments as it determines to be appropriate to the number of Formula One Group Redemption Shares, the number of Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities and the number of Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities (and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest, including any adjustments to the foregoing allocation between the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group) to take into account the securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable.

 

63



 

In the event that not all outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock are to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (g)(i) for Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, then (1) the number of shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (g)(i) will be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Formula One Group Redemption Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of such series and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, in each case, outstanding as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date, and (2) the outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (g)(i) will be redeemed by the Corporation pro rata among the holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock or by such other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be equitable.

 

To the extent that a Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary to be distributed pursuant to this paragraph (g)(i) also holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to one or both of the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group, then (x) such Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary will also be deemed a Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (e)(i) (to the extent such Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the SiriusXM Group) and/or a Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (f)(i) (to the extent such Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary also holds assets and liabilities of the Braves Group) and (y) in connection with the redemption of Formula One Group Redemption Shares pursuant to this paragraph (g)(i) the Corporation will also redeem shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (e)(i) (in the event such Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary is also a Distributed SiriusXM Group Subsidiary) and/or shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (f)(i) (in the event such Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary is also a Distributed Braves Group Subsidiary), as applicable, subject to the Corporation obtaining the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and the applicable of the SiriusXM Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and/or the Braves Group Redemption Stockholder Approval.  In connection with any such redemption of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, Liberty Braves Common Stock and/or Liberty Formula One Common Stock, as applicable, the Board of Directors will effect such redemption in accordance with the terms of paragraphs (e)(i), (f)(i) and (g)(i), as applicable, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, with such changes and adjustments as the Board of Directors determines are reasonably necessary in order to effect such redemption in exchange for securities of a single Subsidiary holding the assets and liabilities of more than one Group.  In effecting such redemption, the Board of Directors may determine to redeem the SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares, the Braves Group Redemption Shares and/or the Formula One Group Redemption Shares, in exchange for one or more classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, for separate classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, (I) with the holders of SiriusXM Group Redemption Shares to receive SiriusXM Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the SiriusXM Group held by such Subsidiary, (II) with holders of Braves Group Redemption Shares to receive Braves Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group held by such Subsidiary and/or (III) with holders of Formula One Group Redemption Shares to receive Formula One Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the

 

64



 

Formula One Group held by such Subsidiary, subject, in each case, to the applicable limitations on the class and series of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary set forth in the last paragraph of paragraphs (e)(i), (f)(i) and (g)(i), as applicable.

 

Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (g)(i) will occur on a Formula One Group Redemption Date set forth in a notice to holders of Liberty Formula One Common Stock (and Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock (unless provision for notice is otherwise made pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities)) pursuant to paragraph (g)(iv)(C).

 

In effecting a redemption of Liberty Formula One Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (g)(i), the Board of Directors may determine either to (x) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in exchange for a single class or series of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary without distinction among series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, on an equal per share basis, (y) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in exchange for separate classes or series of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary, on an equal per share basis, or (z) redeem shares of one or more series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in exchange for a separate class or series of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary and, on an equal per share basis, redeem shares of all other series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in exchange for a different class or series of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary; provided , that , in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty Formula One Common Stock, the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock and the Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock, and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock in such redemption consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock) of such series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock.  If the Board of Directors has made a Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, then the determination as to the classes or series of securities of the Distributed Formula One Group Subsidiary comprising the Formula One Group Inter-Group

 

65



 

Interest Subsidiary Securities to be so transferred or allocated to the SiriusXM Group and/or the Braves Group will be made by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

 

(ii)                                   Mandatory Dividend, Redemption or Conversion in Case of Formula One Group Disposition .  In the event of a Formula One Group Disposition (other than an Exempt Formula One Group Disposition), the Corporation will, on or prior to the 120th Trading Day following the consummation of such Formula One Group Disposition and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section A.2., take the actions referred to in one of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) below, as elected by the Board of Directors:

 

(A)                                Subject to the first sentence of paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section A.2. the Corporation may declare and pay a dividend payable in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, to the holders of outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Formula One Group Disposition as of the record date for determining the holders entitled to receive such dividend, as the same may be determined by the Board of Directors, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraph (c)(iii) and (d)(iii) of this Section A.2.; or

 

(B)                                Provided that there are assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and the Formula One Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph (g)(ii) in lieu of effecting the redemption provided for in this clause (B), then:

 

(I)                                    if such Formula One Group Disposition involves all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Formula One Group, the Corporation may redeem all outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Formula One Group Disposition as of the Formula One Group Redemption Date, as determined by the Board of Directors, such aggregate amount to be allocated among the shares of all series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock outstanding as of the Formula One Group Redemption Date on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (g)(ii)); or

 

(II)                               if such Formula One Group Disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Formula One Group, the Corporation may apply an aggregate amount (subject to adjustment as provided below) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with a Fair Value equal to the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Formula One Group Disposition as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date (the “ Formula One Group Redemption Amount ”) to the redemption of outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, such Formula One Group Redemption Amount to be allocated (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (g)(ii)) to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in the ratio of (x) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date to (y) the aggregate number of shares of all

 

66



 

series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock outstanding as of such date, and the number of shares of each such series to be redeemed will equal the lesser of (1) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date and (2) the whole number nearest the number obtained by dividing the aggregate amount so allocated to the redemption of such series by the Average Market Value of the Liberty Formula One Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Formula One Group Disposition; provided that, if following the foregoing allocation there remains any amount of the Formula One Group Redemption Amount which is not being applied to the redemption of shares of a series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, then such excess amount will be allocated to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock that, following the initial allocation referred to above, would have shares outstanding and not redeemed, with the number of outstanding and not redeemed shares to be redeemed from each such series to be calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding sentence based upon such excess amount of the Formula One Group Redemption Amount.  The outstanding shares of a series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis among the holders of such series or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable; or

 

(C)                                The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Formula One Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Formula One Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Formula One Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty SiriusXM Group Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

 

(D)                                The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Formula One Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty Braves Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Formula One Group Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Formula One Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Braves Group Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

 

(E)                                 The Corporation may combine the conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock into Liberty SiriusXM Common

 

67



 

Stock or Liberty Braves Common Stock as contemplated by clauses (C) and (D) of this paragraph (g)(ii) with the payment of a dividend on or the redemption of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock as described below, subject to the limitations specified in clause (A) (in the case of a dividend) or clause (B) (in the case of a redemption) of this paragraph (g)(ii) (including the limitations specified in other paragraphs of this Certificate referred to therein).  In the event the Board of Directors elects the option described in this clause (E), the portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Liberty Braves Common Stock, as applicable, will be determined by the Board of Directors and will be so converted at the conversion rate determined in accordance with clause (C) or clause (D) above, as applicable, and the Corporation will either (x) pay a dividend to the holders of record of all of the remaining shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock outstanding, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (c)(iii) and (d)(iii) of this Section A.2., or (y) redeem all or a portion of such remaining shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock. The aggregate amount of such dividend, in the case of a dividend, or the portion of the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption, in the case of a redemption, will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (I) an amount equal to the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Formula One Group Disposition as of, in the case of a dividend, the record date for determining the holders of Liberty Formula One Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend and, in the case of a redemption, the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date (in the case of a partial redemption) or the Formula One Group Redemption Date (in the case of a full redemption), in each case, before giving effect to the conversion of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in connection with such Formula One Group Disposition in accordance with this clause (E) and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest, by (II) one minus a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be converted into shares of Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock or Liberty Braves Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with this clause (E) and the denominator of which will be the aggregate number of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock outstanding as of the record date, Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date or Formula One Group Redemption Date used for purposes of clause (I) of this sentence. In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, if the Formula One Group Disposition was of all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Formula One Group, then all remaining outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the portion of the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption determined in accordance with this clause (E), such aggregate amount to be allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (g)(ii)).  In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, if the Formula One Group Disposition was of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Formula One Group, then the number of shares of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be redeemed will be determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) of this paragraph (g)(ii), substituting for the Formula One Group Redemption Amount referred to therein the portion of the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be

applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with this clause (E), and such shares will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to such portion of the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds and allocated among all such shares redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (g)(ii)). The aggregate number of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock to be converted in any partial conversion in accordance with this clause (E) will be allocated among the series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in the ratio of the number of shares of each such series outstanding to the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock outstanding as of the Formula One Group Conversion Selection Date, and the shares of each such series to be converted will be selected on a pro rata basis or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable.  In the case of a redemption, the allocation of the cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) and/or other assets to be paid in redemption and, in the case of a partial redemption, the selection of shares to be redeemed will be made in the manner contemplated by clause (B) of this paragraph (g)(ii).

 

For purposes of this paragraph (g)(ii):

 

(1)                                  as of any date, “substantially all of the assets of the Formula One Group” means a portion of such assets that represents at least 80% of the then-Fair Value of the assets of the Formula One Group as of such date;

 

(2)                                  in the case of a Formula One Group Disposition of assets in a series of related transactions, such Formula One Group Disposition will not be deemed to have been consummated until the consummation of the last of such transactions;

 

(3)                                  if the Board of Directors seeks the approval of the holders of Liberty Formula One Group Voting Securities entitled to vote thereon to qualify a Formula One Group Disposition as an Exempt Formula One Group Disposition and such approval is not obtained, the date on which such approval fails to be obtained will be treated as the date on which such Formula One Group Disposition was consummated for purposes of making the determinations and taking the actions prescribed by this paragraph (g)(ii) and paragraph (g)(iv), and no subsequent vote may be taken to qualify such Formula One Group Disposition as an Exempt Formula One Group Disposition;

 

(4)                                  in the event of a redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock pursuant to clause (B)(II) or (E) of this paragraph (g)(ii) at a time when the Formula One Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one, if the Board of Directors so elects (a “ Formula One Group Inter-Group Partial Redemption Election ”), in its discretion, the Corporation will attribute to the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group concurrently with such redemption an aggregate amount (the “ Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount ”) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment as described below, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the difference between (x) the Formula One Group Net Proceeds and (y) the portion of the Formula One Group Allocable Net Proceeds applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) or clause (E) of this paragraph (g)(ii).  If the Board of Directors makes such election, the Number of Shares Issuable with

Respect to the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased in the manner described in subparagraph (ii)(E) of the definition of “Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest” in paragraph (j) of this Section A.2. The Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount will be attributed between the SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group based upon the SiriusXM Group’s Fractional Interest in the Formula One Group as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date and the Braves Group’s Fractional Interest in the Formula One Group as of the Formula One Group Redemption Selection Date and may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of cash, securities and/or other assets;

 

(5)                                  if at the time of a Formula One Group Disposition subject to this paragraph (g)(ii), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock that would give the holders thereof the right to receive any consideration related to such Formula One Group Disposition upon conversion, exercise or exchange or otherwise, or would adjust to give the holders equivalent economic rights, as a result of any dividend, redemption or other action taken by the Corporation with respect to the Liberty Formula One Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (g)(ii), then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments to (x) the amount of consideration to be issued or delivered as contemplated by this paragraph (g)(ii) as a dividend on or in redemption or conversion of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock and/or, if applicable, (y) the Formula One Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount and the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to the Formula One Group Inter-Group Interest as it deems appropriate to take into account the Liberty Formula One Common Stock into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable;

 

(6)                                  the Corporation may pay the dividend or redemption price referred to in clause (A), (B) or (E) of this paragraph (g)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Formula One Common Stock in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, that the Board of Directors determines and which has an aggregate Fair Value of not less than the amount allocated to such dividend or redemption pursuant to the applicable of clauses (A), (B) or (E) of this paragraph (g)(ii), regardless of the form or nature of the proceeds received by the Corporation from the Formula One Group Disposition; and

 

(7)                                  if all or any portion of the redemption price referred to in clause (B) or (E) of this paragraph (g)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Formula One Common Stock is paid in the form of securities of an issuer other than the Corporation, the Board of Directors may determine to pay the redemption price, so payable in securities, in the form of (x) identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, (y) separate classes or series of securities, on an equal per share basis, to the holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock or (z) a separate class or series of securities to the holders of one or more series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock and, on an equal per share basis, a different class or series of securities to the holders of all other series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock; provided , that , in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share

distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty Formula One Common Stock, the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock and the Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty Formula One Common Stock) of such series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock.

 

(iii)          Certain Provisions Respecting Convertible Securities .  Unless the provisions of any Convertible Securities that are or become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty Formula One Common Stock provide specifically to the contrary, or the instrument, plan or agreement evidencing such Convertible Securities or pursuant to which the same were issued grants to the Board of Directors the discretion to approve or authorize any adjustment or adjustments to the conversion, exercise or exchange provisions of such Convertible Securities so as to obtain a result different from that which would otherwise occur pursuant to this paragraph (g)(iii),  and the Board of Directors so approves or authorizes such adjustment or adjustments, after any Formula One Group Conversion Date or Formula One Group Redemption Date on which all outstanding shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock were converted or redeemed, any share of Liberty Formula One Common Stock that is issued on conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Security will, immediately upon issuance and without any notice or any other action on the part of the Corporation or its Board of Directors or the holder of such share of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, be redeemed in exchange for, to the extent assets of the Corporation are legally available therefor, the amount of $.01 per share in cash.

If, at the time of issuance of the press release required by this paragraph (C), the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, such press release shall include as much of the information set forth in subparagraphs (I) to (VIII) as is then available, and the Corporation will issue a second press release once the Formula One Group Redemption Stockholder Approval is obtained setting forth any such required information not included in the first press release.

(other than paragraph (b)(i) thereof) or this paragraph (g), such holder will surrender at such place as the Corporation will specify certificates (if any) representing such shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation will waive such requirement).  The Corporation will as soon as practicable after such surrender of a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the office of the transfer agent for the shares or other

 

75



 

securities to be delivered, to the holder for whose account shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock were so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to which such Person will be entitled as aforesaid, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (g)(iv)(I).  If less than all of the shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be redeemed or converted, the Corporation will issue and deliver a new certificate for the shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock not redeemed or converted.  Any shares of capital stock of the Corporation to be received by any holder of uncertificated shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. (other than paragraph (b)(i) thereof) or this paragraph (g) shall be issued in book-entry form, without physical certificates, and shall be registered in the book entry account system of the Corporation’s transfer agent in the names of the holders thereof.

(H)          From and after any applicable Formula One Group Conversion Date or Formula One Group Redemption Date, all rights of a holder of shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock that were converted or redeemed on such Formula One Group Conversion Date or Formula One Group Redemption Date, as applicable, will cease except for the right, upon surrender of a certificate or certificates (if any) representing such shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock, to receive a certificate or certificates (if any) representing shares of the kind and amount of capital stock or cash, securities (other than capital stock) or other assets for which such shares were converted or redeemed, as applicable, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (g)(iv)(I) of this Section A.2. and such holder will have no other or further rights in respect of the shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock so converted or redeemed, including, but not limited to, any rights with respect to any cash, securities or other assets which are reserved or otherwise designated by the Corporation as being held for the satisfaction of the Corporation’s obligations to pay or deliver any cash, securities or other assets upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of such conversion or redemption.  No holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the applicable Formula One Group Conversion Date or Formula One Group Redemption Date represented shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock will be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to shares of any kind of capital stock into or in exchange for which the Liberty Formula One Common Stock was converted or redeemed until surrender of such holder’s certificate (if any).  Upon such surrender, there will be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore became payable with respect to a record date after the Formula One Group Conversion Date or Formula One Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, but that were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender.  From and after a Formula One Group Conversion Date or Formula One Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, the Corporation will, however, be entitled to treat any certificates representing shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock that have not yet been surrendered for conversion or redemption in accordance with clause (G) above as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of the kind or kinds of capital stock for which the shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock represented by such certificates will have been converted or redeemed in accordance with

 

76



 

paragraph (b) of this Section A.2 or this paragraph (g), notwithstanding the failure of the holder thereof to surrender such certificates.

 

(I)            The Corporation will not be required to issue or deliver fractional shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other securities in a smaller than authorized denomination to any holder of Liberty Formula One Common Stock upon any conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution pursuant to paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of this Section A.2. or this paragraph (g).  In connection with the determination of the number of shares of any class or series of capital stock that will be issuable or the amount of other securities that will be deliverable to any holder of record of Liberty Formula One Common Stock upon any such conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution (including any fractions of shares or securities), the Corporation may aggregate the shares of Liberty Formula One Common Stock held at the relevant time by such holder of record.  If the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or other securities to be issued or delivered to any holder of Liberty Formula One Common Stock includes a fraction, the Corporation will pay, or will cause to be paid, a cash adjustment in lieu of such fraction in an amount equal to the “ value ” of such fraction, as the Board of Directors shall in good faith determine to be appropriate (without interest).

 

(J)            Any deadline for effecting a dividend, redemption or conversion prescribed by this paragraph (g) may be extended if deemed necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, to enable the Corporation to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or Persons nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation will itself be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this paragraph (h).

 

(ii)           Liquidation Units .  The liquidation units per share of each series of Common Stock will be as follows:

Whenever an adjustment is made to liquidation units under this paragraph (h), the Corporation will promptly thereafter prepare and file a statement of such adjustment with the Secretary of the Corporation.  Neither the failure to prepare nor the failure to file any such statement will affect the validity of such adjustment.

 

(i)            Determinations by the Board of Directors .  Any determinations made by the Board of Directors under any provision in this Section A.2. will be final and binding on all stockholders of the Corporation, except as may otherwise be required by law.  In addition, if different consideration is distributed to different series of Common Stock in a Share Distribution or pursuant to a redemption in accordance with this Certificate, any determination of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, including, without limitation, that a Share Distribution was made on an equal per share basis or that any differences in voting rights, designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions or otherwise satisfy the requirements set forth in this Certificate, will be final and binding on all stockholders of the Corporation, except as may otherwise be required by law.

105

(B)                                If there is a purported Transfer of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock that, after giving effect to such purported Transfer, would result in such Person otherwise becoming a Prohibited Holder, then (1) the Purported Record Transferee (as defined below) (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee (as defined below), if different) shall acquire no right or interest in such shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock so Transferred as would cause such Person to become a Prohibited Holder (which for the avoidance of doubt, (x) in the case of an MLB Employee, will be any shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, (y) in the case of an MLB Holder, will be such shares as would result in such Person owning 5% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock and (z) in the case of a 10% Holder, will be such shares as would result in such Person owning 10% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock (such shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, the “ Excess Shares ”)), (2) the Excess Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock shall be automatically transferred to a Trust (as defined below), without any action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, in accordance with subparagraph (vi) below, for the exclusive benefit of the Excess Share Transferor (as defined below), and (3) such Purported Record Transferee (and such Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) shall submit the certificates (if any) formerly representing such Excess Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock to the Trustee (as defined below) (or, if such Purported Record Transferee alleges that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and Trustee to indemnify the Corporation and Trustee against any claim that may be made against the Corporation or Trustee on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of such certificates), or the Excess Share Transferor will deliver an irrevocable instrument or instruction to transfer the Excess Shares to an account for the benefit of the Trustee and the Trust (such account, the “ Trust Account ”), in each case accompanied by all requisite and duly executed assignments of transfer thereof dated as of the effective date of such purported Transfer as specified below, to effect the transfer of the Excess Shares to the Trustee of the Trust, together with such additional information and instructions as requested by the Corporation’s notice specified in subparagraph (ii)(C) below.  Such transfer to the Trust shall be effective as of the close of trading on the Trading Day prior to the date of the purported Transfer even though the certificates (if any) formerly representing the Excess Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock so transferred or other instructions or confirmations, and the other information and instructions required by the Corporation, may be submitted to the Trustee at a later date.  To the extent any shares purportedly Transferred to such Person at such time constitute Excess Shares, then to the extent practicable (x) the first shares that will constitute Excess Shares will be shares of Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock purported to be so Transferred to such Person, (y) to the extent no shares of Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock are purported to be so Transferred or the total number of shares that constitute Excess Shares exceeds the number of shares of Series C Liberty Braves Common Stock purported to be so Transferred, then the next shares that will constitute Excess Shares will be shares of Series A Liberty Braves Common Stock purported to be Transferred to such Person and (z) to the extent that the application of clauses (x) and (y) above does not yield the total number of shares that constitute Excess Shares, then any shares of

 

106



 

Series B Liberty Braves Common Stock purported to be so Transferred will, to the extent necessary, constitute Excess Shares.

 

(C)                                Following the automatic transfer of Excess Shares to the Trust pursuant to subparagraph (ii)(B) above and subparagraph (vi) below, the Corporation shall send the Purported Record Transferee (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) notice of such automatic transfer (the “ Automatic Transfer Notice ”).  Each such Automatic Transfer Notice shall include the following: (1) the date that the automatic transfer of such Excess Shares occurred, (2) the number of shares of each series of Liberty Braves Common Stock constituting Excess Shares, (3) instructions for the Purported Record Transferee (or Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) to surrender or provide to the Trustee, in the manner and at the place designated in the written notice, the certificate or certificates (if any) formerly representing such Excess Shares (or, if such Purported Record Transferee alleges that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and Trustee to indemnify the Corporation and Trustee against any claim that may be made against the Corporation or Trustee on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of such certificate or certificates) or such other instruments of transfer as are reasonably necessary to effect the transfer of the Excess Shares to the Trust Account, (4) in the case of any purported Transfer that would result in a Person being a 10% Holder, if the Excess Shares constitute less than 1.0% of the Total Outstanding Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock and the Excess Share Transferor represents, in writing (within three (3) days of the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice), to the Corporation and the Trustee that it will promptly seek and use reasonable efforts to obtain MLB Approval, an instruction to the Trustee instructing it to hold and not sell such Excess Shares for a period of 60 days from the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice in order to enable such Excess Share Transferor to obtain MLB Approval and, if such Excess Share Transferor has not delivered to the Trustee and the Corporation a copy of the MLB Approval by such 60th day, to sell such Excess Shares promptly in accordance with subparagraph (x) below, and (5) any request or requests for any other information that the Corporation deems necessary or advisable.  Failure to give the Automatic Transfer Notice as aforesaid, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the automatic transfer of any Excess Shares and in no event shall the Corporation be required to send the aforesaid notice prior to the automatic transfer of any Excess Shares.  The Automatic Transfer Notice and any other Notice required or permitted by this subparagraph (ii)(C) to be given to the Purported Record Transferee (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with Section 232 of the DGCL, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

 

(D)                                Receipt of MLB Approval will not be deemed to (i) constitute approval by the Corporation or its Board of such Approved Holder’s ownership of Liberty Braves Common Stock for any purpose, including without limitation, under Section 203 of the DGCL, or (ii) prohibit any adoption, approval, amendment or modification by the Corporation of any stockholder rights plan (or similar plan or agreement) or charter or by-law provision having anti-takeover provisions of general applicability.

 

(iii)                                For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (m), including, without limitation, subparagraph (ii) above, shall apply to and be enforced against the record owner of

 

107



 

any shares beneficially owned by any Person in the same manner and to the same extent as this paragraph (m) shall apply to and be enforced against any such beneficial owner.

 

(iv)                               Remedies for Breach .  If the Corporation, or its designees, shall at any time have Actual Knowledge that (a) a Transfer has taken place (x) to an MLB Employee or (y) that would cause a Person to become a 10% Holder or an MLB Holder or (b) (x) an MLB Employee intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire ownership of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock or (y) a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire ownership of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock which, if completed, would cause such Person to become a 10% Holder or an MLB Holder, the Corporation shall, and shall cause its designees to, take such action as it considers advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or acquisition, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or acquisition on the stock transfer books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or acquisition, including stop transfer instructions to the Corporation’s transfer agent, but the failure to take any such action shall not affect the automatic transfer to a Trust in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above and subparagraph (vi) below.

 

(v)                                  Notice of Restricted Transfer; Notice of Ownership .  Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, which, if such acquisition were completed, would cause such Person to become a Prohibited Holder, or any Person who becomes an Excess Share Transferor, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request.  Any notice delivered to the Corporation under this paragraph (m) shall be delivered to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal offices of the Corporation.

 

(vi)                               Transfer in Trust .  Upon the Effective Time, the Corporation shall enter into a trust agreement in order to create a Trust, and will appoint the Trustee.  Upon any purported Transfer that results in the automatic transfer of Excess Shares to the Trust pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above, such Excess Shares, which shall have been automatically transferred to such Trust pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above, shall be held for the exclusive benefit of each Person whose Excess Shares have been Transferred to the Trust (such Person, the “ Excess Share Transferor ”), subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (m).  The Trustee will be the sole owner of such Excess Shares and the Excess Shares held in trust shall continue to be issued and outstanding shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock of the Corporation.

 

(vii)                            Dividend Rights .

 

(A)                                The Trustee will be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions (including Share Distributions) on the Excess Shares, and shall hold all such dividends and distributions in trust for the benefit of the Excess Share Transferor; provided , that subject to the Excess Share Transferor’s satisfaction of the Excess Share Payment Condition (as defined below), all dividends or distributions paid or made on Excess Shares, other than any Liberty Braves Share Distribution (as defined below), will be paid or delivered to such Excess Share Transferor as promptly as practical.  The Excess Share Transferor shall not be entitled to receive any Liberty Braves Share Distributions with respect to Excess Shares, and shall be required to return to the Trust any such Liberty Braves Share Distributions received by it (1) that

 

108



 

are attributable to any Excess Shares and (2) the record date of which was on or after the date that such Excess Shares were deemed automatically transferred to a Trust.  The Corporation shall take all measures that it determines are reasonably necessary to recover any such Liberty Braves Share Distributions paid or delivered to such Excess Share Transferor in respect of Excess Shares, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future Liberty Braves Share Distributions payable on such Excess Shares; and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Corporation’s receipt or withholding thereof, shall pay over to the Trust for the benefit of such Excess Share Transferor the Liberty Braves Share Distributions so received or withheld, as the case may be.

 

(B)                                The provisions of paragraph (m) shall apply to any shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock distributed in a Liberty Braves Share Distribution in respect of Excess Shares.  Any shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock distributed in respect of such Excess Shares in a Liberty Braves Share Distribution shall be treated as Excess Shares.

 

(viii)                         Liquidation of the Corporation .  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of, or winding up of, the Corporation, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive in respect of the Excess Shares held by it, ratably with each other holder of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, that portion of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Liberty Braves Common Stock.  Subject to the Excess Share Transferor’s satisfaction of the Excess Share Payment Condition, the Trust shall distribute to the Excess Share Transferor the amounts received with respect to the Excess Shares attributable to such Excess Share Transferor upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up.

 

(ix)                               Voting Rights .  The Trustee shall have all voting rights with respect to such Excess Shares.  The Excess Share Transferor shall have no voting rights with respect to any Excess Shares held in the Trust.

 

(x)                                  Sale of Excess Shares .

 

(A)                                Subject to subparagraph (x)(C) below, as soon as practicable after the Trustee acquires Excess Shares (but not earlier than the fifth (5th) day following the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice), but in an orderly fashion so as not to materially adversely affect the trading price of the applicable series of Liberty Braves Common Stock, the Trustee shall sell for cash, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, any Excess Shares held by the Trustee; provided   that a purchaser of such Excess Shares will be deemed a “Permitted Transferee” of the Excess Shares so purchased so long as (x) in the case of a sale on the open market, such sale is effected in such a manner as will reasonably ensure a wide distribution of the Excess Shares and (y) in the case of a privately negotiated transaction or otherwise, the Trustee does not have actual knowledge, or have a reasonable basis to believe, that such third party purchaser (1) is an affiliate of the Corporation or the Excess Share Transferor, (2) is an MLB Employee, (3) would following such sale become an MLB Holder, or (4) would following such sale become a 10% Holder.

 

(B)                                If the Transfer of Excess Shares to a purported Permitted Transferee would cause such Permitted Transferee to become a Prohibited Holder, such Permitted Transferee shall acquire no rights, except as otherwise provided in this Certificate, in

 

109



 

respect of (x) in the case of an MLB Employee, any shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, (y) in the case of an MLB Holder, those shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock which would result in the number of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock owned by such Permitted Transferee equaling 5% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock, and (z) in the case of a 10% Holder, those shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock which would result in the number of shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock owned by such Permitted Transferee equaling 10% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock.  Such shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock will be deemed Excess Shares and, in accordance with subparagraphs (ii)(B) and (vi) above, will be automatically transferred to the Trust.  Such transfer to the Trust will be effective as of the close of trading on the Trading Day prior to the date of the Transfer to the purported Permitted Transferee and the provisions of this paragraph (m) shall apply to such shares.

 

(C)                                In the case of any purported Transfer that would result in a Person being a 10% Holder, in the event the Excess Shares represent less than 1.0% of the Total Outstanding Shares of Liberty Braves Common Stock and the Excess Share Transferor represents in its notice to the Corporation delivered pursuant to subparagraph (ii)(C) within three (3) days of the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice that it will promptly seek and use reasonable efforts to obtain MLB Approval and become an Approved Holder, the Trustee will not sell or begin the sale process referred to in subparagraph (x)(A) above prior to the 60th day following the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice to the Excess Share Transferor.  If the Trustee has not received notice by such 60th day that the Excess Share Transferor has received MLB Approval, the Trustee will proceed promptly to sell the Excess Shares pursuant to subparagraph (x)(A) above.  In the event the Excess Share Transferor delivers notice to the Trustee and the Corporation that the Excess Share Transferor has received MLB Approval it will cease its efforts to sell such shares and promptly transfer any remaining Excess Shares to the Excess Share Transferor.

 

(xi)                               Payments to Excess Share Transferor .  Any Excess Share Transferor shall be entitled (following the sale of Excess Shares to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with subparagraph (x) above) to receive from the Trustee promptly following the sale or other disposition of such Excess Shares the proceeds received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of such Excess Shares (net of (1) any commissions and other expenses of sale, (2) if applicable, withholding for taxes and (3) the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee related to such sale) in accordance with subparagraph (x) above; provided   that no Excess Share Transferor shall be entitled to any payment unless and until such Excess Share Transferor (A) surrenders to the Corporation any certificate of certificates (if any) formerly representing such Excess Shares (or provides to the Corporation and the Trustee the lost certificate indemnity referred to herein) or delivers to the Trustee such instruments of assignment and confirmations as are necessary to transfer the Excess Shares to the Trust Account and (B) provides the Corporation with any other information requested by the Corporation pursuant to the Automatic Transfer Notice or any subsequent notice sent in accordance with subparagraph (ii)(C) above (delivery of such certificates, instruments and other information, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, to the Trustee, the “ Excess Share Payment Condition ”).  The Trustee and the Trust shall not be liable for, and the Excess Share Transferor shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived, any claim by an Excess Share Transferor arising out of the disposition of Excess Shares, except for claims arising out of or resulting from the gross

(b)                                  Prepayment of Expenses .  The Corporation will pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided , however , that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding will be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this paragraph or otherwise.

 

(c)                                   Claims .  If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this paragraph is not paid in full within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful, will be entitled to be paid the expense (including attorney’s fees) of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.  In any such action the Corporation will have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

3.                                       Amendment or Repeal .  Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions of this Section E will not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
