ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Â鶹×îгöÆ· ("Â鶹×îгöÆ·") (Nasdaq: LCAPA, LCAPB, LINTA, LINTB, LSTZA, LSTZB) announced that it has received approval from its stockholders to split-off (the "Split-Off") the businesses, assets and liabilities currently attributed to its Â鶹×îгöÆ· Capital and Â鶹×îгöÆ· Starz tracking stock groups.
As previously announced, the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled in Â鶹×îгöÆ·'s favor in its case against the Bank of New York that the Split-Off will not constitute a disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Â鶹×îгöÆ· Media, LLC under the indenture governing its public indebtedness.

If an appeal is filed, Â鶹×îгöÆ· will request expedition of the appeal.
The consummation of the Split-Off is conditioned on a final non-appealable judgment in the Delaware matter, in addition to the other conditions disclosed in Â鶹×îгöÆ·'s proxy statement.
In anticipation of the consummation of the Split-Off, Â鶹×îгöÆ· recently changed the name of the entity to be split-off from Â鶹×îгöÆ· Splitco, Inc. to Â鶹×îгöÆ· CapStarz, Inc.
