Expect Proceeds Will Partially Fund MotoGP™ Acquisition and
General Corporate Purposes
Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”) (Nasdaq: LSXMA,
LSXMB, LSXMK, FWONA, FWONK, LLYVA, LLVYK) announced today a public
offering of 10,650,000 shares of Series C Liberty Formula One
Common Stock (“FWONK”). Liberty Media also expects to grant the
underwriters of the offering an option to purchase up to an
additional 1,597,500 shares of FWONK.
Liberty Media intends to exercise its option to deliver
additional cash in lieu of shares of FWONK as part of its
previously disclosed proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of
Dorna Sports, S.L., such that all the consideration paid will be
comprised of cash and no shares of FWONK will be issued to the
sellers. Liberty Media expects to use the net proceeds from the
sale of shares in this offering (i) to fund the increase in total
cash consideration for the Acquisition, which is expected to close
by year-end 2024 and (ii) for general corporate purposes, including
the repayment of debt. Completion of the offering is not
conditioned upon consummation of the Acquisition. If the
Acquisition is not consummated for any reason, the net proceeds
from this offering would be available for general corporate
purposes and attributed to the Formula One Group tracking
stock.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as the sole underwriter
for the offering.
The offering is being made pursuant to an effective registration
statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”). The offering will be made only by means of
the prospectus that forms a part of the registration statement,
copies of which may be obtained by contacting: Goldman Sachs &
Co. LLC, Attention: Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New
York, New York 10282, by phone at (866) 471-2526 or by email at

in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of
