Development of Business Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”), through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the motorsport and live entertainment industries with events held worldwide and operations primarily headquartered in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Spain. Our most significant subsidiaries include Delta Topco Limited (the parent company of Formula 1) (“Delta Topco”) and MotoGP. Braves Holdings, LLC ("Braves Holdings") was a subsidiary of the Company until the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off (defined below) on July 18, 2023. Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Holdings”) was a subsidiary of the Company until the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off (defined below) on September 9, 2024. QuintEvents, LLC (“QuintEvents”) was a subsidiary of the Company and Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”) was an equity affiliate of the Company until the Liberty Live Split-Off (defined below) on December 15, 2025. The Company previously had a tracking stock structure. A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or “track” the economic performance of a particular business or “group,” rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. The Company completed the transactions disclosed below to separate certain collections of businesses, assets and liabilities into separate publicly traded companies. On July 18, 2023, the Company completed the split-off (the “Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off”) of its wholly owned subsidiary, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“Atlanta Braves Holdings”). The Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off was accomplished by a redemption by the Company of each outstanding share of Liberty Braves common stock in exchange for one share of the corresponding series of Atlanta Braves Holdings common stock. Atlanta Braves Holdings was comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty Braves Group (the “Braves Group”) immediately prior to the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off, except for the intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group, which were settled and extinguished in connection with the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off. Braves Holdings is not presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. On August 3, 2023, the Company reclassified its then-outstanding shares of common stock into three new tracking stocks—Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Formula One common stock and Liberty Live common stock, and, in connection therewith, provided for the attribution of the businesses, assets and liabilities of the Company’s then-remaining tracking stock groups among its newly created Liberty SiriusXM Group, Formula One Group and Liberty Live Group (the “Reclassification”). As a result of the Reclassification, each then-outstanding share of Liberty SiriusXM common stock was reclassified into one share of the corresponding series of new Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 0.2500 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Live common stock and each outstanding share of Liberty Formula One common stock was reclassified into one share of the corresponding series of new Liberty Formula One common stock and 0.0428 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Live common stock. Each of the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off and the Reclassification were intended to be tax-free to stockholders of the Company, except with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares. In July 2024, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) completed its review of the Reclassification and notified the Company that it agreed with the nontaxable characterization of the transaction. In September 2024, the IRS completed its review of the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off and notified the Company that it agreed with the nontaxable characterization of the transaction. The Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off and the Reclassification are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis.
