ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ ("СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ") (Nasdaq: LCAPA, LCAPB, LINTA, LINTB, LSTZA, LSTZB) announced that today the Delaware Court of Chancery has ruled in СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ's favor in its case against the Bank of New York. The court's ruling states that the previously announced plan to split-off (the "Split-Off") the businesses, assets and liabilities currently attributed to СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ's СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ Capital and СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ Starz tracking stock groups will not constitute a disposition of all or substantially all the assets of СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ Media, LLC under the indenture governing its public indebtedness.
The parties have been directed to prepare a form of final decree implementing the ruling for the Court's consideration, and СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ expects a final decree will be entered in the near future. The judgment is subject to appeal, which must be lodged within 30 days from the entry of the final decree. If an appeal is filed, СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ will request expedition of the appeal.
The consummation of the Split-Off is conditioned on a final non-appealable judgment on this matter, in addition to the other conditions disclosed in СÀ¶ÊÓÆµ's proxy statement.
