Item 8.01. Other Events

 

On December 8, 2014, Liberty Broadband Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that Nasdaq has established December 11, 2014 as the ex-dividend date for the distribution of subscription rights to purchase shares of the Company’s Series C common stock (the “Series C Rights”) in connection with its previously announced rights offering.  Therefore, as a result of “due bill” trading procedures, those persons acquiring shares of the Company’s common stock in the market through December 10, 2014 will be entitled to receive Series C Rights. The Company expects that the Series C Rights will trade on a when-issued basis on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “LBKRV” on December 10, 2014 and will begin trading in the regular way on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “LBRKR” on December 11, 2014.

 

The completion of the Series C Rights distribution remains subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including the receipt of the opinion of tax counsel. Further, the board of directors of the Company reserves the right to not complete the rights offering at any time, including following the completion of the distribution of the Series C Rights, and for any reason.
