Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On August 12, 2022, Liberty Media Corporation (the "Company") entered into an
Indenture (the "Indenture") with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association,
as trustee, in connection with the sale of $475,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of the Company's 2.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2027 (the "Notes") to
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan
Stanley & Co., as representatives of the initial purchasers (the "Initial
Purchasers") pursuant to that certain purchase agreement dated August 9, 2022.
The Notes were sold to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from
the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Notes were resold to
qualified institutional buyers as defined in, and in reliance on, Rule 144A of
the Securities Act. The Notes and any common stock issuable upon their
conversion may be offered and resold only in transactions that are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. To
the extent that any shares of common stock are issued upon conversion of the
Notes, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof,
because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection
with conversion of the Notes and any resulting issuance of shares of the common
stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, holders of the Notes may convert their
Notes, in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option, under
the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter after the calendar
quarter ending September 30, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if
the last reported sale price of the Company's Series C Liberty Formula One
common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive
trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding
calendar quarter is equal to or more than 130% of the conversion price of the
Notes on the last day of such preceding calendar quarter; (ii) during the five
business-day period after any five consecutive trading-day period, which the
Company refers to as the measurement period, in which the trading price per
$1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of that measurement period
was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the
Company's Series C Liberty Formula One common stock and the applicable
conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (iii) if the Company
calls the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on
the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but
only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or
(iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the
Indenture. In addition, holders may convert their Notes at their option at any
time on or after May 15, 2027 and ending on the close of business on the second
scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date for the
Notes, without regard to the foregoing circumstances.
The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company's Series C Liberty Formula
One common stock at an initial conversion rate of 11.6198 shares of the
Company's Series C Liberty Formula One common stock per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately
$86.06 per share of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock. The conversion
rate is subject to adjustment in certain events, but will not be adjusted for
accrued interest, including any additional interest. Upon a conversion of the
Notes, the Company may elect to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares
of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock or a combination of cash and shares
of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, at the Company's election.
If the Company undergoes a make-whole fundamental change or delivers a notice of
redemption, and a holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such
make-whole fundamental change or redemption, the Company will increase the
applicable conversion rate, under certain circumstances, by a number of
additional shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock as described in
the Indenture.
