Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 6, 2023, Liberty Siri MarginCo, LLC (“Siri MarginCo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation (the “Company”), amended its margin loan agreement secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings Inc. common stock (the “Margin Loan”) to, among other things, (x) extend each of the maturity date to March 2026 and the availability of its revolving facility, (y) increase the available revolver commitments by $200 million and (z) reduce the minimum price of such common stock that would or could result in certain adjustments under the margin loan agreement. After giving effect to the amendment referred to in the preceding sentence, total capacity under the Margin Loan is $1,950 million, of which $875 million of borrowings were outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

On March 7, 2023, the Company announced the proposed offering of up to $575 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and issued a redemption notice for its 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 (the “2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures”). The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering to make repurchases of its 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023 (the “1.375% Cash Convertible Notes”) in individually privately negotiated transactions, to settle exchanges or repurchases of, or to redeem, its 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such debentures, and for general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2022, there was $790 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes and $387 million aggregate principal amount of 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures outstanding. Assuming the redemption of all outstanding 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and the repurchase of all outstanding 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes, in addition to the proceeds from the proposed offering of the Notes, the Company expects: (a) to use approximately $305 million of cash on hand that is attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group; (b) to use cash received from the Liberty Formula One Group in connection with the settlement and extinguishment of approximately 4.2 million notional shares represented by the intergroup interest in the Liberty Formula One Group that is attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group (which is equivalent to the number of shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock underlying the outstanding 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes); (c) to use available borrowings under Siri MarginCo’s Margin Loan; and (d) the cost of repurchasing the 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes to be partially offset by the proceeds from the termination and unwinding of the related bond hedges and warrants that the Company entered into in connection with the issuance of such notes. As previously disclosed, if the Company's proposed split-off of the businesses, assets and liabilities currently attributed to the Liberty Braves Group is approved and consummated, the settlement and extinguishment of the intergroup interest in the Liberty Braves Group that is attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group is expected to result in the receipt of approximately 1.8 million shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. common stock by the Liberty SiriusXM Group and such shares are expected to be utilized to reduce debt obligations attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group.
