Exhibit 99.1

Unaudited Attributed Financial Information for Tracking Stock Groups

The following tables present our assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and revenue and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The tables further present our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows that are intended to be attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group and the Liberty Media Group, respectively. The financial information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Recapitalization was completed on April 15, 2016 and the newly issued shares commenced trading or quotation in the regular way on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the OTC Markets, as applicable, on Monday, April 18, 2016.

The attributed financial information presented herein has been prepared assuming this attribution had been completed as of January 1, 2015. However, this attribution of historical financial information does not purport to be what actual results and balances would have been if such attribution had actually occurred and been in place during these periods. Therefore, the attributed net earnings (losses) presented in the unaudited attributed financial information are not the same as the net earnings (loses) reflected in the Liberty Media Corporation condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The net earnings (losses) attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Braves common stock and Liberty Media common stock for purposes of those financial statements only relates to the period after the Recapitalization.

Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group and the Liberty Media Group, our tracking stock capital structure does not affect the ownership or the respective legal title to our assets or responsibility for our liabilities. We and our subsidiaries are each responsible for our respective liabilities. Holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Braves common stock and Liberty Media common stock are holders of our common stock and are subject to risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. The issuance of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Braves and Liberty Media common stock does not affect the rights of our creditors.

Notes to Attributed Financial Information (Continued)

(unaudited)

 

 

 

 

(1)

As discussed in note 2 the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on April 15, 2016 Liberty completed a recapitalization of Liberty Media Corporation’s (“Liberty” or the “Company”) common stock into three new tracking stock groups, one designated as the Liberty Braves common stock, one designated as the Liberty Media common stock and one designated as the Liberty SiriusXM common stock (the “Recapitalization”). The attributed financial information is presented herein on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 as if the Recapitalization had been completed as of January 1, 2015.

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. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group and Liberty Media Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Therefore, the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group and Liberty Media Group do not represent separate legal entities, but rather represent those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to each respective group. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group's stock or assets and are not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation.

The Liberty SiriusXM Group is comprised of our consolidated subsidiary, Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“SIRIUS XM”), corporate cash and its margin loan obligation incurred by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Liberty. As of June 30, 2016, the Liberty SiriusXM Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $526 million, which includes $476 million of subsidiary cash.

The Liberty Braves Group is comprised of our consolidated subsidiary, Braves Holdings, LLC (“Braves Holdings”), which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC”) and certain assets and liabilities associated with ANLBC’s stadium and mixed use development project (the “Development Project”), corporate cash and all liabilities arising under a note obligation from Braves Holdings to Liberty, with a total borrowing capacity of up to $165 million by Braves Holdings (the “Intergroup Note”) relating to funds borrowed and used for investment in the Development Project. As of December 31, 2015, Braves Holdings had drawn approximately $31 million on the Intergroup Note, which is included in the Intergroup payable (receivable) line item in the consolidated attributed balance sheet. $150 million was outstanding under the Intergroup Note which was repaid during June 2016 using proceeds from the subscription rights offering (as described in more detail below), and the Intergroup Note agreement was cancelled. The remaining proceeds from the rights offering were attributed to the Liberty Braves Group. As of June 30, 2016, the Liberty Braves Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $149 million, which includes subsidiary cash.

The Liberty Media Group is comprised of all of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Liberty other than those specifically attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group or the Liberty Braves Group, including Liberty’s interests in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”), minority equity investments in Time Warner Inc. and Viacom, Inc., the Intergroup Note, the recovery received in connection with the Vivendi lawsuit, cash, an intergroup interest in the Liberty Braves Group as well as Liberty’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023 and related financial instruments. As of June 30, 2016, the Liberty Media Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $554 million.

Following the creation of the new tracking stocks, Liberty distributed to holders of its Liberty Braves common stock subscription rights to acquire shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock to raise capital to repay the Intergroup Note and for working capital purposes. In the rights distribution, Liberty distributed 0.47 of a Series C Liberty Braves subscription right for each share of Series A, Series B or Series C Liberty Braves common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 16, 2016. Fractional Series C Liberty Braves subscription rights were rounded up to the nearest whole right. Each whole Series C Liberty Braves subscription right entitled the holder to purchase, pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, one share of Liberty’s Series C Liberty Braves common stock at a subscription price of $12.80, which was equal to an approximate 20%

discount to the trading day volume weighted average trading price of Liberty’s Series C Liberty Braves common stock for the 18-day trading period ending on May 11, 2016.  Each Series C Liberty Braves subscription right also entitled the holder to subscribe for additional shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock that were unsubscribed for in the rights offering pursuant to an oversubscription privilege. The rights offering commenced on May 18, 2016, which was also the ex-dividend date for the distribution of the Series C Liberty Braves subscription rights. The rights offering expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 16, 2016 and was fully subscribed with 15,833,634 shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock issued to those rightsholders exercising basic and, if applicable, oversubscription privileges. Approximately $150 million of the proceeds from the rights offering were used to repay the amount outstanding on the Intergroup Note and accrued interest to Liberty. The remaining proceeds will be used for future development costs attributed to the Liberty Braves Group.

(2)

As part of the Recapitalization, the Liberty Media Group initially held a 20% intergroup interest in the Liberty Braves Group. As a result of the rights offering, the number of notional shares underlying the intergroup interest was adjusted to 9,084,940, representing a 15.6% intergroup interest in the Liberty Braves Group. The intergroup interest is a quasi-equity interest which is not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Liberty Media Group has an attributed value in the Liberty Braves Group which is generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Liberty Media Group with respect to its interest in the Liberty Braves Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest are marked to fair value. The change in fair value is recorded in the Unrealized gain (loss) on intergroup interest line item in the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Liberty Media Group’s intergroup interest is reflected in the Investment in intergroup interest line item, and the Liberty Braves Group liability for the intergroup interest is reflected in the Redeemable intergroup interest line item in the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated balance sheets. Both accounts are presented as noncurrent, as there are currently no plans for the settlement of the intergroup interest. Appropriate eliminating entries are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares have not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty has assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages. Therefore, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock is used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment through the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated statements of operations.  

The intergroup interest will remain outstanding until the redemption of the outstanding interest, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, through transfer of securities, cash and/or other assets from the Liberty Braves Group to the Liberty Media Group.

SIRIUS XM Canada

In the acquisition of SIRIUS XM, Liberty acquired an interest in SIRIUS XM Canada which SIRIUS XM accounts for as an equity method affiliate. Liberty recognized the investment at fair value, based on the market price per share (level 1), on the date of acquisition.

$4 million and $4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $8 million and $8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

On May 12, 2016, a subsidiary of SIRIUS XM, Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius XM Radio”), entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with SIRIUS XM Canada. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, SIRIUS XM Radio and certain Canadian shareholders will form a new company to acquire shares of SIRIUS XM Canada not already owned by them pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, SIRIUS XM Canada’s shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive, for each share of SIRIUS XM Canada held, C$4.50 (U.S.$3.50 as of May 12, 2016) in (i) cash, (ii) shares of SIRIUS XM’s common stock, (iii) a security exchangeable for shares of SIRIUS XM’s common stock, or (iv) a combination thereof; provided that no more than 50% of the total consideration in the Transaction (or up to 35 million shares) will be issued in SIRIUS XM common stock and exchangeable shares. All of the obligations of SIRIUS XM Radio under the Arrangement Agreement are guaranteed by SIRIUS XM.

Following the Transaction, SIRIUS XM Radio is expected to hold a 70% economic interest and 33% voting interest in SIRIUS XM Canada, with the remainder of the voting power and economic interest held by Slaight Communications and Obelysk Media, two of SIRIUS XM Canada’s current Canadian shareholders. SIRIUS XM Radio expects to contribute to SIRIUS XM Canada approximately U.S. $275 million in connection with the Transaction (assuming that all shareholders elect to receive cash in connection with the Transaction), which amount is expected to be used to pay the cash consideration to SIRIUS XM Canada’s shareholders and will be decreased proportionately if shareholders elect to receive consideration in shares of SIRIUS XM common stock or securities exchangeable for SIRIUS XM common stock.

The Transaction is subject to the approval of two-thirds of the shareholders of SIRIUS XM Canada, as well as a majority of the minority shareholders of SIRIUS XM Canada. The Transaction is also subject to receipt of court and Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission approval. Pending receipt of all necessary approvals, the Transaction is expected to close no later than end of the fourth quarter of 2016.

Margin Loans

During October 2015, Liberty refinanced a margin loan arrangement for a similar financial instrument with a term loan of $250 million and a $1 billion undrawn line of credit, which is now scheduled to mature on October 25, 2016. Shares of SIRIUS XM and Live Nation are pledged as collateral pursuant to this agreement. The new term loan and any drawn portion of the revolver carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable spread between 1.75% and 2.25% (based on the value of collateral) with the undrawn portion carrying a fee of 0.75%. Borrowings outstanding under this margin loan bore interest at a rate of 2.38% per annum at June 30, 2016. Other terms of the agreement were substantially similar to the previous arrangement. As of June 30, 2016, availability under the revolving line of credit was $1 billion.

As discussed in note 4, shares of Live Nation, which are pledged as collateral pursuant to the margin loan agreement, are held by the Liberty Media Group. Following the Recapitalization, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amount payable by the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Liberty Media Group in order to reflect the credit support provided by the assets of the Liberty Media Group used as collateral for the margin loan obligation attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The amount payable will be determined and paid quarterly in arrears, based on the average share price of Live Nation common stock each period. This inter-group arrangement is recorded through the Intergroup payable (receivable) line item in the condensed consolidated attributed balance sheets and through the Interest expense line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and eliminated in consolidation. The total amount payable is expected to be less than $1 million each annual period.

Braves Holdings Notes

In 2014, Braves Holdings, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased 82 acres of land for the purpose of constructing a Major League Baseball facility and development of a mixed-use complex adjacent to the ballpark.  The new facility is expected to cost approximately $672 million and Braves Holdings expects to spend approximately $50 million in other costs and equipment related to the new ballpark.  Funding for the ballpark will be split between Braves Holdings, Cobb County and Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority. Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority and Cobb County (collectively the “Authority”) will be responsible for funding $392 million of ballpark related construction and Braves Holdings will be responsible for remainder of cost, including cost overruns.  Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority issued $368 million in bonds during September 2015. Braves Holdings received $103 million of the bond proceeds during September 2015 as reimbursement for project costs paid for by Braves Holdings prior to the funding of the bonds. Funding for ballpark initiatives by Braves Holdings has come from cash reserves and utilization of two credit facilities. Additionally, during September 2015, Braves Holdings entered into a $345 million term loan (the “Braves Term Loan”). The Braves Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable spread between 1.50% and 1.75% (based on the debt service coverage ratio) per annum and an unused commitment fee of 0.35% per annum based on the average daily unused portion of the Braves Term Loan, payable quarterly in arrears. The interest rate on the Braves Term Loan was 1.68% as of June 30, 2016. The Braves Term Loan is scheduled to mature during September 2020. In connection with entering into the Braves Term Loan, Braves Holdings partially repaid and reduced the capacity on one of the credit facilities from $250 million to $75 million for a total capacity under the credit facilities of $175 million. As of June 30, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on the credit facilities was 1.99%. As of June 30, 2016, Braves Holdings has borrowed approximately $133 million under the Braves Term Loan and two facilities.

Due to Braves Holdings providing the initial funding of the project and its ownership of the land during the initial construction period, until the initial reimbursement by the Authority during September 2015 at which time the land was conveyed to the Authority, Braves Holdings has been deemed the owner (for accounting purposes) of the stadium during the construction period and costs have been classified as construction in progress (“CIP”), within the Property and equipment, net line item. Future costs of the project will continue to be captured in CIP along with a corresponding liability in other liabilities, for amounts funded by the Authority.

At the end of construction an additional determination will be made to determine whether the transaction will qualify for sale-leaseback accounting treatment.

In addition, Braves Holdings through affiliated entities and outside development partners are in the process of developing land around the ballpark for a mixed-use complex that is expected to feature retail, residential, office, hotel and entertainment opportunities. The estimated cost for mixed-use development is $558 million, of which Braves Holdings affiliated entities are expected to fund approximately $490 million, which Braves Holdings intends to fund with a mix of approximately $200 million in equity and $290 million in new debt. In December 2015, certain subsidiaries of Braves Holdings entered into three separate credit facilities totaling $207 million to fund a portion of the mixed use development costs. The maturity dates of the facilities range between December 2018 and December 2019, and all of the facilities contain two year extension options. Interest rates on the credit facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable spread between 2.0% and 2.6%, with step-downs upon lease of the mixed use facilities at the completion of construction. As of June 30, 2016, $12 million was drawn on these facilities with a weighted average interest rate of 2.46%.

As discussed in note 3 above, 464 thousand Time Warner, Inc. shares were pledged as collateral to these facilities. The fair value of the shares pledged as of June 30, 2016 was $34 million. Shares of Time Warner, Inc. are held by the Liberty Media Group. Following the Recapitalization, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amount payable by the Liberty Braves Group to pay the Liberty Media Group in order to reflect the credit support provided by the assets of the Liberty Media Group used as collateral for the credit facility obligations of the Liberty Braves Group. The amount of this obligation is determined and paid quarterly in arrears, based on the average share price of Time Warner, Inc. common stock each period. This inter-group arrangement is recorded through the Intergroup payable (receivable) line item in the condensed consolidated attributed balance sheets and through the Interest expense line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and eliminated in consolidation. The total amount payable is expected to be less than $1 million each annual period.

As of June 30, 2016, approximately $420 million has been spent to-date on the baseball facility, of which approximately $331 million of funding has been provided by the Authority, and $179 million has been spent to date on the mixed-use development.

Liberty 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023

On October 17, 2013, Liberty issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 ("Convertible Notes").  The Convertible Notes will mature on October 15, 2023 unless earlier repurchased by us or converted.  Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year at a rate of 1.375% per annum. All conversion of the Convertible Notes will be settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities. During the year ended December 31, 2014, in connection with the issuance of Series C Liberty Media Corporation common stock and the Broadband Spin-Off, as discussed in note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the conversion rate was adjusted to 21.0859 shares of Series A Liberty Media Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes with an equivalent conversion price of $47.43 per share of Series A Liberty Media Corporation common stock. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes under certain circumstances. Liberty has elected to account for this instrument using the fair value option.  Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this instrument are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statement of operations.  As of June 30, 2016, the Convertible Notes are classified as a long term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the conversion conditions have not been met.

As a result of the Recapitalization, as discussed in note 1, the Convertible Notes are convertible into cash based on the product of the conversion rate specified in the indenture and the basket of tracking stocks into which each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Media Corporation common stock has been reclassified (the “Securities Basket”). The supplemental indenture entered into on April 15, 2016 in connection with the Recapitalization amends the conversion, adjustment and other provisions of the indenture to give effect to the Recapitalization and provides that the conversion consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Note

19

 


 

Notes to Attributed Financial Information (Continued)

(unaudited)

 

 

shall be determined as if references in the indenture to one share of Series A Liberty Media Corporation common stock were instead a reference to the Securities Basket, initially consisting of 0.10 of a share of Series A Liberty Braves common stock, 1.0 share of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 0.25 of a share of Series A Liberty Media common stock. The Series A Liberty Braves common stock component of the Securities Basket was adjusted to 0.1087 pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments arising out of the distribution of subscription rights to purchase shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock made to all holders of Liberty Braves common stock.

Additionally, contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges and purchased call options (the “Bond Hedge Transaction”). The Bond Hedge Transaction is expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes in the event that the volume-weighted average price per share of the Series A Liberty common stock, as measured under the cash convertible note hedge transactions on each trading day of the relevant cash settlement averaging period or other relevant valuation period, is greater than the strike price of Series A Liberty Media Corporation common stock, which corresponded to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2014, in connection with the issuance of Series C Liberty common stock and the Broadband Spin-Off, as discussed in note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the number of shares covered by the Bond Hedge Transaction was adjusted to 21,085,900 shares of Series A Liberty common stock and the strike price was adjusted to $47.43 per share of Series A Liberty common stock, which corresponds to the adjusted conversion price of the Convertible Notes. In connection with the Recapitalization and the entry into the supplemental indenture on April 15, 2016, Liberty entered into amendments to the Bond Hedge Transaction with each of the counterparties to reflect the adjustments resulting from the Recapitalization. As of the effective date of the Recapitalization, the Bond Hedge Transaction covered, in the aggregate, 5,271,475 shares of Series A Liberty Media common stock, 21,085,900 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 2,108,590 shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pertaining to the Convertible Notes, which was equal to the aggregate number of shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the Convertible Notes at that time. The aggregate number of shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock relating to the Bond Hedge Transaction was increased to 2,292,037, pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments arising out of the rights distribution (note 2).  The expiration of these instruments is October 15, 2023. The fair value of these instruments is included in Other assets, at cost, net of accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value recorded as unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Concurrently with the Convertible Notes and Bond Hedge Transaction, Liberty also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions under which Liberty sold warrants relating to the same number of shares of common stock as underlie the Bond Hedge Transaction, subject to anti-dilution adjustments (“Warrant Transactions”). The first expiration date of the warrants is January 16, 2024 and expire over a period covering 81 days thereafter. Liberty may elect to settle its delivery obligation under the Warrant Transactions with cash. As of December 31, 2015, there were 21,085,900 warrants outstanding was with a strike price of $64.46 per share. In connection with the Recapitalization, Liberty entered into amendments to the warrant transactions with each of the option counterparties to reflect the adjustments to the Warrant Transactions resulting from the Recapitalization (“Amended Warrant Transactions”).  As of the effective date of the Recapitalization, the Amended Warrant Transactions covered, in the aggregate, 5,271,475 shares of Series A Liberty Media common stock, 21,085,900 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 2,108,590 shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock relating to the Amended Warrant Transactions was increased to 2,292,037, pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments arising out of the rights distribution. The strike price of the warrants was adjusted, as a result of the Recapitalization, to $61.16 per share. The Amended Warrant Transactions may have a dilutive effect with respect to the shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the warrants to the extent that the settlement price exceeds the strike price of the warrants, and the warrants are settled in shares comprising such Securities Basket. The warrants were recorded in equity at the Liberty Media Group.

Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees is allocated among the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group and the Liberty Media Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing

20

 


 

Notes to Attributed Financial Information (Continued)

services for each group. On an annual basis estimated time spent will be determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group which would require a timelier reevaluation of estimated time spent. Other general and administrative expenses are charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably determined methodology. Following the Recapitalization, stock compensation related to each tracking stock is calculated based on actual awards outstanding.

 

While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.

Except for the Intergroup Note between the Liberty Braves Group and the Liberty Media Group as discussed in note 1 and the intergroup arrangements regarding the securities held by the Liberty Media Group pledged as collateral pursuant to loans at the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Liberty Braves Group as discussed in note 4, the intergroup balance at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is primarily a result of timing of tax benefits.

Per the tracking stock tax sharing policies, consolidated income taxes arising from the Liberty SiriusXM Group in periods prior to the Recapitalization were not subject to tax sharing and were allocated to the Liberty Media Group. As such, the balance of the Intergroup tax payable between the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Liberty Media group was zero at the effective date of the Recapitalization and is accounted for on a go forward basis beginning on such date.

The Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Braves common stock and Liberty Media common stock have voting and conversion rights under our restated charter. Following is a summary of those rights. Holders of Series A common stock of each group will be entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Series B common stock of each group will be entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group will be entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote. In general, holders of Series A and Series B common stock will vote as a single class. In certain limited circumstances, the board may elect to seek the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty SiriusXM stock, Series A and Series B Liberty Braves stock, or the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty Media stock.

 

At the option of the holder, each share of Series B common stock of each group will be convertible into one share of Series A common stock of the same group. At the discretion of our board, the common stock related to one group may be converted into common stock of the same series that is related to another other group.
