Highlight of Business Operations:
On November 19, 2009, we completed a split-off (the "LEI Split-Off") of our wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Entertainment, Inc. ("LEI"), and the business combination transaction among our company, LEI and The DIRECTV Group, Inc. ("DIRECTV") (the "DTV Business Combination"). The LEI Split-Off was accomplished by a partial redemption of 90% of the outstanding shares of Liberty Entertainment common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of LEI, pursuant to which, 0.9 of each outstanding share of Liberty Entertainment common stock was redeemed for 0.9 of a share of the corresponding series of common stock of LEI, with payment of cash in lieu of any fractional shares. LEI held our 57% interest in DIRECTV, a 100% interest in Liberty Sports Holdings, LLC, a 65% interest in Game Show Network, LLC and approximately $120 million in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $2 billion of indebtedness. All of the businesses, assets and liabilities that were attributed to the Entertainment Group and were not held by LEI have remained with our company and continue to be attributed to the Entertainment Group, which we have redesignated as the Starz Group.
