Liberty Media Corporation has announced the formation of Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation (LMAC), a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC), which intends to focus on areas such as the digital media, music, entertainment, communications and technology industries. LMAC plans to raise $500 million in a U.S. initial public offering by selling 50 million units at $10 each, with each unit including one share of Series A common stock and one-fourth of one warrant.
