Liberty Media Corp. (LSXMK) announced on Tuesday that it has communicated a proposal to Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (SIRI), an audio entertainment<\/span> company, to combine Liberty SiriusXM tracking stock group or LSXM with SiriusXM. This would create a new consolidated public company, New SiriusXM.<\/p>\n As per the terms of the proposal, Liberty would separate LSXM by means of a redemptive split-off to form SplitCo which would own all the assets and liabilities of LSXM. <\/p>\n The common stockholders of LSXM would receive a number of shares of a single series of common stock of SplitCo, based upon each underlying share of SiriusXM common stock held by SplitCo being exchanged for 1.05 shares of common stock of New SiriusXM.<\/p>\n SplitCo would then combine with SiriusXM to form New SiriusXM. Minority shareholders of SiriusXM would receive shares in New SiriusXM on a one-for-one basis.<\/p>\n Additionally, the minority shareholders would receive a pro rata cash payment based on the amount of the outstanding net debt of LSXM effectively assumed by New SiriusXM in the proposed transaction.<\/p>\n Accordingly, minority shareholders of SiriusXM would own around 16 percent of New SiriusXM and shareholders of LSXM common stock would own approximately 84 percent of New SiriusXM.<\/p>\n The proposed transaction is intended to be tax free and would not result in changes to the Liberty Formula One tracking stock group or the Liberty Live tracking stock group.<\/p>\n In pre-market activity, shares of Liberty Sirius are trading at $25.34, up 11.98% and shares of Sirius XM are trading at $3.60, down 10.22% on Nasdaq. <\/p>\n
