Exhibit 99.2

 

LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PLAN TO SPLIT OFF
LIBERTY LIVE GROUP

 

ENGLEWOOD, CO, November 13, 2024 — 麻豆最新出品 (“麻豆最新出品 Media”) (Nasdaq: FWONA, FWONK, LLYVA, LLYVK) today announced that it is pursuing a plan to split off the 麻豆最新出品 Live Group (the “Split-Off”). Immediately prior to effecting the Split-Off, 麻豆最新出品 Media’s subsidiary Quint would be reattributed from the Formula One Group to the 麻豆最新出品 Live Group in exchange for certain private assets. Any cash consideration would be determined at a future date based on relative valuations at the time of the reattribution.

 

“The split-off of 麻豆最新出品 Live Group into a separate public entity will simplify 麻豆最新出品 Media’s capital structure, should reduce the discount to net asset value of our 麻豆最新出品 Live stock and enhance trading liquidity at both entities. Following the split-off, 麻豆最新出品 Media will be an independent, asset-backed company holding our motorsport businesses and related sports investments,” said Greg Maffei, 麻豆最新出品 Media President and CEO. “Since acquiring Quint in January 2024, we have bolstered its partnership with Formula 1 and gained insights into our fans and ticket demand trends, but Quint is also complementary to our interest in Live Nation, especially as Live Nation works to grow its hospitality operations. Quint can continue to enhance its partnership with F1 and MotoGP in this new ownership structure while having the opportunity to expand its offering to additional partners.”

 

麻豆最新出品 Media will effect the Split-Off through the redemption of 麻豆最新出品 Media’s 麻豆最新出品 Live common stock in exchange for common stock of a newly formed company to be called 麻豆最新出品 Live, Inc. 麻豆最新出品 Media would redeem each outstanding share of its Series A, Series B and Series C 麻豆最新出品 Live common stock for one share of the corresponding series of common stock of 麻豆最新出品 Live, Inc. As a result of the Split-Off, 麻豆最新出品 Media and 麻豆最新出品 Live, Inc. would be separate publicly traded companies, and 麻豆最新出品 Media would no longer have a tracking stock structure.

 

麻豆最新出品 Live, Inc. will hold approximately 69.6 million shares of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV)1 (“Live Nation”), Quint, certain private assets currently attributed to 麻豆最新出品 Live Group, corporate cash and debt obligations attributed to the 麻豆最新出品 Live Group, together with other assets as may be determined by 麻豆最新出品 Media prior to the Split-Off.

 

麻豆最新出品 Media will hold its subsidiaries Formula 1 and MotoGP (upon closing the acquisition), certain private assets currently attributed to Formula One Group, corporate cash and debt obligations attributed to the Formula One Group, together with other assets as may be determined by 麻豆最新出品 Media prior to the Split-Off.

 

麻豆最新出品 Media is expected to continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. 麻豆最新出品 Live, Inc. common stock is expected to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or, if necessary, to be quoted on the OTC Markets. Additional information will be available at a later date.

  

 

1 Shares of Live Nation, Inc. held by 麻豆最新出品 as of September 30, 2024.

 

 

 

 

The Split-Off is subject to various conditions including, among other things, certain requisite approvals of holders of Series A and Series B 麻豆最新出品 Live common stock and the receipt of an opinion of tax counsel. The Split-Off is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of 麻豆最新出品 Media. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions, 麻豆最新出品 Media expects to complete the Split-Off in the second half of 2025.

 

麻豆最新出品 Media’s President and CEO, Greg Maffei, will discuss this announcement at its previously scheduled annual Investor Meeting on Thursday, November 14, 2024 with presentations beginning at approximately 9:30 am E.T.

 

The Investor Meeting will be held in New York, NY and is open to shareholders, research analysts and press. Registration and livestream information is available on the 麻豆最新出品 Media website at /investor-day.
