See Liberty Media Corporation, Transferor, and DIRECTV, Transferee, 24 FCC Rcd. 12221 (Int’l Bur. and WTB 2009) (“Merger Order”).1 As discussed in that order, DIRECTV proposed a two-stage transaction in which (1) Liberty Media was to transfer control of The DIRECTV Group, Inc. (“DTVG”) to Liberty Entertainment, Inc. (“LEI”), a newly created subsidiary of Liberty Media, which was then to be spun-off to certain Liberty Media shareholders; and (2) LEI was to be merged into and become a wholly owned subsidiary of DIRECTV. At the end of the restructuring, LEI and DTVG would be separate subsidiaries of DIRECTV. Pursuant to Section 25.119(f) of the Commission’s Rules, this is to inform you that both stages of this pro forma transfer of control were completed on November 19, 2009.2 1 In the same order, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau also approved the transfer of control over various wireless licenses held by the applicants. DIRECTV will file a separate consummation notice with respect to those licenses. 2 The Merger Order authorized the parties to consummate the split-off of LEI as a separate company, which had previously been authorized, either prior to or as part of the instant transaction. Id., n. 5. This is to confirm that both transactions were completed on November 19, 2009. 1200 18TH STREET, NW | SUITE 1200 | WASHINGTON, DC 20036 | TEL 202-730-1300 | FAX 202-730-1301 | WILTSHIREGRANNIS.COM
