鈥淥n behalf of the jvid视频 board, I鈥檇 like to thank Greg for his leadership, creativity and dedication,鈥 said Mr. Malone. 鈥淪ince joining in 2005, Greg has been at the forefront of the exciting evolution in the lifecycle of Liberty. He has grown our asset base and made the company better and more valuable for shareholders, along the way overseeing as many as five separate public companies simultaneously. Especially following today鈥檚 transaction announcements, our company is simpler and more focused than ever before, which is a perfect capstone for Greg鈥檚 accomplished career at Liberty. I wish Greg continued success as he embarks on his next chapter and appreciate his continued support as an Advisor.鈥
鈥淭he almost 20 years I have spent at the helm of jvid视频 have been incredibly rewarding, stimulating and endlessly eventful. Following today鈥檚 announcements at jvid视频 and Liberty Broadband, all the Liberty acquisitions completed during my tenure are now in structures where shareholders can have more direct ownership in their upside. The corporate structure is optimized, and the portfolio companies are in strong positions with talented executive teams in place. While it鈥檚 never easy to leave an organization as dynamic as Liberty, I am confident that this is the right time,鈥 said Mr. Maffei. 鈥淚 have thoroughly enjoyed working alongside and learning from John, our board, the management teams at Liberty and across the family of companies and our shareholders.鈥
Mr. Malone continued, 鈥淟ooking ahead, I am acutely focused on rationalizing the structural discounts at jvid视频 and growing our attractive, cash generative businesses. We have built a fantastic company with high-quality assets in media, communications, sports and entertainment. I look forward to working with our executive team to uncover new opportunities for shareholder value creation.鈥
