ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Â鶹×îгöÆ· (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB, LCAPA, LCAPB, LSTZA, LSTZB) today announced that it and its subsidiary Â鶹×îгöÆ· Media, LLC have filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against The Bank of New York ("BNY"), in BNY's capacity as trustee under the indenture governing Â鶹×îгöÆ· Media, LLC's public indebtedness.  The suit seeks a declaratory judgment by the court that the previously announced plan to split-off (the "Split-Off") the businesses, assets and liabilities currently attributed to Â鶹×îгöÆ·'s Â鶹×îгöÆ· Capital and Â鶹×îгöÆ· Starz tracking stock groups will not constitute a disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Â鶹×îгöÆ· Media, LLC under the indenture.  The suit, which also seeks related injunctive relief, was filed in response to assertions made by a law firm purporting to represent a holder of a substantial block of Â鶹×îгöÆ· Media, LLC's indebtedness.

The consummation of the Split-Off will be conditioned on the resolution of this lawsuit, in addition to the conditions previously disclosed.
