Business Wire
Liberty Interactive LLC ("Liberty"), a subsidiary of Liberty
Interactive Corporation (Nasdaq: QVCA, QVCB, LVNTA, LVNTB),
announced the payment today of a quarterly interest payment to the
holders, as of December 15, 2017, of its 0.75% Senior Exchangeable
Debentures due 2043 (the "Debentures"). The amount of the quarterly
interest payment is $1.875 per $1,000 original principal amount of
Debentures. As of December 30, 2017, 1,116 Debentures remained
outstanding in the aggregate adjusted principal amount of $422,542,
after giving effect to today’s quarterly interest payment.
Under the Indenture for the Debentures, the original principal
amount of the Debentures is reduced in an amount equal to each
extraordinary distribution that is made to holders of the
Debentures. Thereafter, the adjusted principal amount is further
reduced on each successive quarterly interest payment date to the
extent necessary to cause the quarterly interest payment to
represent the payment of an annualized yield of 0.75% of the
adjusted principal amount. This latter adjustment, to the extent it
is made by reason of a particular extraordinary distribution that
results in a reduction to the principal amount of the Debentures,
takes effect on the second succeeding interest payment date after
the payment of that extraordinary distribution.
To date, Liberty has made one extraordinary distribution to
holders of the Debentures. On June 16, 2016, Liberty made an
extraordinary distribution of $614.4332 per $1,000 original
principal amount of the Debentures attributable to the cash
distribution made to former holders of common stock of Time Warner
Cable, Inc. (“TWC”) on May 18, 2016, in connection with the mergers
involving Charter Communications, Inc. and TWC (the “Charter/TWC
Merger”). The extraordinary distribution was based on the “average
transaction consideration” paid in the Charter/TWC Merger, as that
term is defined in the Indenture for the Debentures.
Reductions to the principal amount of the Debentures do not
affect the amount of the quarterly interest payments received by
holders of the Debentures, which will continue to be a rate equal
to 0.75% per annum of the original principal amount of the
Debentures. Below is a detail of the amount of the quarterly
interest payment being made on the Debentures, its allocation
between payment of interest and repayment of principal and the
revised adjusted principal amount of the Debentures resulting from
such payment, per $1,000 original principal amount of the
Debentures:

Liberty also announced the payment today, to holders of the
Debentures as of December 15, 2017, of an additional distribution
of $2.1041 per Debenture, which is attributable to the regular
quarterly dividends paid by Time Warner Inc. of $0.4025 on November
1, 2017 and by Time Inc. of $0.0400 on December 15, 2017. Payments
of additional distributions attributable to regular cash dividends
do not result in a reduction to the principal amount of the
Debentures.
