Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Liberty Global, Inc.’s ownership interest in Jupiter Telecommunications Co., Ltd. (J:COM) is currently held through LGI/Sumisho Super Media, LLC (Super Media LLC), a Delaware limited liability company in which Sumitomo Corporation (Sumitomo) is also a member. At the request of Sumitomo pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Operating Agreement of LLC, on October 23, 2009, Super Media LLC converted into a Delaware limited partnership named LGI/Sumisho Super Media, LP (Super Media LP). As a matter of Delaware law, Super Media LP is deemed to be the same entity as Super Media LLC, and the conversion involved no transfer of equity interests. In connection with the conversion, the Operating Agreement of Super Media LLC was replaced with the Agreement of Limited Partnership of Super Media LP among Liberty Japan, Inc., Liberty Jupiter, Inc., Sumitomo Corporation, and, with respect to certain provisions, LGI International, Inc.
The rights and obligations of the partners in Super Media LP are substantially the same as their rights as members of Super Media LLC, taking into account the change in form of entity. In particular, we continue to control Super Media LP in our capacity as general partner.
We indirectly control J:COM through our control of Super Media LP, which has a controlling financial interest in J:COM. Accordingly, we consolidate J:COM’s results of operations for accounting purposes. Super Media LP will be dissolved on February 18, 2010, unless we and Sumitomo Corporation mutually agree to extend the term. Super Media LP may also be dissolved earlier under certain circumstances.
