PRISA EXPECTS TO FILE AN AMENDMENT TO ITS REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH WILL, AMONG OTHER THINGS, REFLECT THE TERMS OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN PRISA AND LIBERTY ON AUGUST 4, 2010 (THE “AMENDED AND RESTATED BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT”). LIBERTY INTENDS TO MAIL A DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS FOR THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AND PROPOSED WARRANT AMENDMENT TO ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND WARRANTHOLDERS AS OF A RECORD DATE TO BE ESTABLISHED FOR VOTING ON THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION. LIBERTY STOCKHOLDERS AND WARRANTHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THESE DOCUMENTS CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING LIBERTY, PRISA, THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION, THE PROPOSED WARRANT AMENDMENT AND RELATED MATTERS.

     LIBERTY AND ITS DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS MAY BE DEEMED TO BE PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FROM LIBERTY’S STOCKHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AND FROM THE WARRANTHOLDERS OF LIBERTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED WARRANT AMENDMENT. INFORMATION REGARDING THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF LIBERTY IS AVAILABLE IN LIBERTY’S PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT CONTAINED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, WHICH HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SEC.
