Forward-Looking Statements
This report, and the information incorporated by reference in it, include forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Our
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our expectations,
hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that
refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances,
including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipates,
believe, continue, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, might, plan, possible,
potential, predict, project, should, would and similar expressions may identify
forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, for example, statements
about our:
|
|
|
ability to complete a combination with one or more target businesses, including our
proposed business combination with Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. (Prisa);
|
|
|
|
success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers or
directors following a business combination;
|
|
|
|
public securities limited liquidity and trading;
|
|
|
|
use of proceeds not in trust or available to us from interest income on our trust
account balance; or
|
The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this report are based
on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects
on us and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future
developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements
involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other
assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to, those factors described in Part II Other Information, Item 1A. Risk
Factors and elsewhere in this report and in our annual report on
Form 10-K
for the Year ended
December 31, 2009, and those described in our future reports filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in
these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
References in this report to we, us, Liberty, or our company refer to Liberty
Acquisition Holdings Corp. References to our founders refer, collectively, to our sponsors and
each of our independent directors. References to public stockholders refer to purchasers of our
securities in our initial public offering and subsequent purchasers in the secondary market. To
the extent our founders purchased common stock in our initial public offering or thereafter in the
open market they would be public stockholders for liquidation and dissolution purposes, but will
vote all such shares in favor of our initial business combination and therefore would not be
eligible to seek redemption in connection with a vote on a business combination.

LIBERTY ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE ADESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
CONSIDERATION
Liberty Acquisition Holdings Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the Company)
was incorporated in Delaware on June 27, 2007. The Company plans to acquire one or more operating
businesses through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar Business
Combination (a Business Combination). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor
generated revenue from operations to date. The Company is considered to be in the development
stage as defined in
Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises
, and is subject to
the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. Following the initial public
offering (described below), the Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company currently generates
non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in an escrow
Trust Account (Trust Account) from the proceeds derived from the offering. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned approximately $0.4 million of interest income on the
Trust Account. The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the
accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange of Commission
(SEC), and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of
September 30, 2010 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2010 and 2009 and for the period from June 27, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2010.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, as presented herein, was derived from the
Companys audited financial statements as reported on Form 10-K to the Companys Annual Report for
the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for a full fiscal year. These
unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys
audited financial statements as of December 31, 2009, which are included in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
The registration statement for the Companys initial public offering (the Offering) (as
described in Note C) was declared effective on December 6, 2007. The Company consummated the
Offering on December 12, 2007, and contemporaneous with the consummation of the Offering, the
Companys Sponsors (as defined below) purchased 12,000,000 warrants (the Sponsors Warrants) in
the aggregate at $1.00 per warrant in a private placement (the Private Placement) (See Note D).
Substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward
consummating a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be
able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Since the Offering, approximately 98% of the
gross proceeds, after payment of certain amounts to the underwriters, is held in a Trust Account
and invested in U.S. government

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
securities defined as any Treasury Bill issued by the United States having a maturity of 180
days or less and/or in any open ended money market(s) selected by us meeting the conditions of
Sections (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, until the
earlier of (i) the consummation of its initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the
Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds may be used to pay for business, legal
and accounting due diligence on a prospective Business Combination and continuing general and
administrative expenses.
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the Business Combination, will submit
such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that 30% or more of the Companys
outstanding common stock, $0.0001 par value (Common Stock) (excluding, for this purpose, those
shares of the Common Stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination and
exercise their redemption rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated.
Stockholders that purchased the Common Stock in the Offering voting against a Business Combination
will be entitled to cause the Company to redeem their stock for a pro rata share of the Trust
Account (including the additional 2.65% fee of the gross proceeds originally payable to the
underwriters upon the Companys consummation of a Business Combination), including any interest
earned (net of taxes payable and the amount distributed to the Company to fund its working capital
requirements) on their pro rata share, if the Business Combination is approved and consummated.
However, voting against the Business Combination alone will not result in an election to exercise a
stockholders redemption rights. A stockholder must also affirmatively exercise such redemption
rights at or prior to the time the Business Combination is voted upon by the stockholders. All of
the Companys stockholders prior to the Offering (collectively, the Founders) have agreed to vote
all of the shares of the Common Stock held by them in accordance with the vote of the majority in
interest of all other stockholders of the Company.
In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by December 12, 2010
(extended from June 12, 2010, based upon the satisfaction of certain extension criteria), the
proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed to the Companys public stockholders,
excluding the Founders to the extent of their initial stock holdings. In the event of such
distribution, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for
distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price
per Unit in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the warrants contained in the Units
offered in the Offering discussed in Note C). The potential mandatory liquidation raises
substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable
to continue as a going concern.
NOTE BSUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation:
The accompanying condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and
regulations for interim financial statements of the SEC.
Development stage company:
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of
Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises
.

LIBERTY ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and investments that have a maturity at date of
purchase of, or can be converted to cash in, three months or less.
Units:
On December 6, 2007, the Company effected a 1-for-5 unit dividend (Unit Dividend). All
transactions and disclosures in the condensed interim financial statements, related to the
Companys Units, have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the Unit Dividend.
Income (loss) per common share:
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the
weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise
result in the issuance of common stock.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from June
27, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2010, the Company had potentially dilutive securities in the
form of 76,687,500 warrants, including 12,937,500 warrants issued as part of the Founders Units
(as defined below), 12,000,000 Sponsors Warrants issued in the Private Placement and 51,750,000
warrants issued as part of the Units (as defined below) in the Offering. Of the total warrants
outstanding for the periods then ended, approximately 25,432,000 and
23,855,000, respectively,
represent incremental shares of common stock, based on their assumed exercise, to be included in
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (not subject to possible
redemption) for the calculation of diluted income per share of common stock for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. For the three
months ended September 30, 2010, the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the period from
inception to September 30, 2010, approximately 27,764,000, 27,305,000 and 22,525,000, respectively,
of potentially diluted shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share
because to do so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate
potential dilutive shares, as if they were redeemed for common stock at the beginning of the
period.
The Companys condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income per common
share subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per
common share. Basic and diluted income per common share amount for the maximum number of common
shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net interest attributable to
common shares subject to redemption by the weighted average number of shares subject to possible
redemption. Basic and diluted income per share amount for the common shares outstanding not
subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net income exclusive of the net
interest income attributable to common shares subject to redemption by the weighted average number
of shares not subject to possible redemption.

LIBERTY ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Concentration of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk
consist of a cash account in a financial institution which exceeds the current Federal depository
insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and
management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on this account.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company does not enter into financial instruments or derivative contracts for trading or
speculative purposes. The carrying amounts of financial instruments classified as current assets
and liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. If the Company were to effect a Business Combination,
estimates and assumptions would be based on historical factors, current circumstances and the
experience and judgment of the Companys management, and would evaluate its assumptions and
estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in the Companys
evaluations.
Income taxes:
The Company complies with
Accounting for Income Taxes
, which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws
and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
The Company also complies with the provisions of
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
,
which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial
statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosures and transitions. The Company adopted
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
on the
inception date and has determined that the adoption did not have an impact on the Companys
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for stock options and warrants using the fair value recognition
provisions of
Share-Based Payment
, which addresses all forms of share-based compensation awards
including shares issued under employment stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and
stock appreciation rights. Share-based payment awards will be measured at fair value on the grant
date, based on estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will be reflected as
compensation expense in the financial statements. See Note D.
Redeemable common stock:
The Company accounts for redeemable common stock in accordance with
Classification and
Measurement of Redeemable Securities
, which provides that securities that are redeemable for cash
or other assets are classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable at the option of
the holder. In addition, if the redemption causes a liquidation event, the redeemable securities
should not be classified outside of permanent equity. As discussed in Note A, the Business
Combination will only be consummated if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the
Public Stockholders are voted in favor of the Business Combination and Public Stockholders holding
less than 30% (31,049,999) of common stock sold in the Offering exercise their redemption rights.
As further discussed in Note A, if a Business Combination is not consummated by December 12, 2010
(extended from June 12, 2010, based upon the satisfaction of certain extension criteria), the
Company will liquidate. Accordingly, 31,049,999 shares of common stock have been classified
outside of permanent equity at redemption value. The Company recognizes changes in the redemption
value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the redeemable common stock to
equal its redemption value at the end of each reporting period.

In January 2010, the FASB issued
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
, which provides guidance on how investment
assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires
reporting entities to disclose (i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value
for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, (ii)
transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a
gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the
reason(s) for the transfers and (iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on
a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the
amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. However, the
requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a
gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010.
The adoption of the amendment did not have, and is not expected to have, a material
impact on the Companys condensed interim financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys condensed
interim financial statements.
NOTE CTHE OFFERING
On December 12, 2007, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 103,500,000 units
(Units) (including 13,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the underwriters exercise of their
over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in the Offering. Each Unit consists of one
share of the Companys Common Stock and one half (1/2) of one redeemable Common Stock purchase
warrant (Warrant). Because each unit includes one half (1/2) of one Warrant, holders will need
to have two units in order to have one Warrant. Warrants may be exercised only in increments of
one whole Warrant. The public offering price was $10.00 per Unit. Each Warrant entitles the
holder to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50
commencing on the later of (i) the consummation of the Companys initial Business Combination or
(ii) December 6, 2008, provided in each case that there is an effective registration statement
covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants in effect. The Warrants will expire
December 12, 2013, unless earlier redeemed. The Warrants will be redeemable at a price of $0.01
per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that
the last sale price of the Common Stock is at least $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within
a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of
redemption is given.
No Warrants will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of
Common Stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such Warrant, a prospectus relating to
the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the Common Stock has been
registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence
of the holder of the Warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to
use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants. However,
if the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their Warrants. In no circumstance
will the Company be required to settle any such warrant exercise for cash. If the prospectus
relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is not current or if the
Common Stock is not qualified or
12

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
exempt from qualification in the jurisdiction in which the holders of the Warrants reside, the
Warrants may have no value, the market for the Warrants may be limited and the Warrants will expire
worthless.
Proceeds held in the Trust Account will not be available for the Companys use for any purpose
except to pay any income taxes, and $10.35 million that has been taken from the interest earned on
the Trust Account to fund the Companys working capital. These proceeds have been and will
continue to be used to pay for business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective
acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.
NOTE DRELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Founders purchased an aggregate of 25,875,000 (after giving effect to the Unit Dividend)
of the Companys founders units (the Founders Units) for an aggregate price of $25,000 in a
private placement. The Founders Units are identical to those sold in the Offering, except that
each of the Founders has agreed to vote the Common Stock included in the Founders Units in the
same manner as a majority of the public stockholders who vote at the special or annual meeting
called for the purpose of approving the initial Business Combination. As a result, the Founders
will not be able to exercise redemption rights with respect to the Founders Common Stock if the
initial Business Combination is approved by a majority of the Companys public stockholders. The
Founders Common Stock included in the Founders Units will not participate with the Common Stock
included in the Units sold in the Offering in any liquidating distribution. The warrants included
in the Founders Units will become exercisable after the consummation of a Business Combination, if
and when the last sales price of the Common Stock exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days
within a 30 trading day period beginning 90 days after such Business Combination, will be
non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Founders or their permitted transferees and may be
exercised by the holder on a cashless basis. In no circumstance will the Company be required to
settle any such warrant exercise for cash. If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable
upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the Common Stock is not qualified or exempt
from qualification in the jurisdiction in which the holders of the warrants reside, the warrants
may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants will expire
worthless.
Prior to, and in connection with the pricing of, the Offering, the Companys Board of
Directors approved an amendment to modify the terms of (i) the warrants granted to the Founders as
part of the Founders Units and (ii) the Sponsors Warrants that were to be purchased by the
Sponsors immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, whereby the exercise price of the
warrants was reduced from $7.00 to $5.50 and the exercise term extended from five to six years.
The impact of the amendment to these warrants issued in connection with the Founders Units
resulted in a warrant modification, whereby the Company was required to record a charge for the
change in fair value measured immediately prior and subsequent to the modification of the warrants.
As a result of the modifications, the Company recorded a noncash expense of approximately $2.5
million in the period from June 27, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2007.
The Company presently occupies office space provided by Berggruen Holdings, Inc., an affiliate
of Berggruen Acquisition Holdings Ltd (Berggruen Holdings) and the Companys Chief Executive
Officer. Upon the consummation of the Offering, the Company agreed to pay Berggruen Holdings a
total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support until
the earlier of
13
LIBERTY ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
the Companys consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation. Upon consummation of
a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
Each of Berggruen Holdings and Marlin Equities II, LLC (Marlin Equities and, together with
Berggruen Holdings, the Sponsors) have invested $6.0 million in the Company ($12.0 million in the
aggregate) in the form of Sponsors Warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock
(12,000,000 shares in the aggregate) at a price of $1.00 per Sponsors Warrant. Each of Berggruen
Holdings and Marlin Equities purchased such Sponsors Warrants from the Company immediately prior
to the consummation of the Offering. Each of Berggruen Holdings and Marlin Equities has agreed not
to transfer, assign or sell any of the Sponsors Warrants (including the Common Stock to be issued
upon exercise of the Sponsors Warrants) until one year after the Company consummates a Business
Combination. In no circumstance will the Company be required to settle any such warrant exercise
for cash. If the prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
warrants is not current or if the Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the
jurisdiction in which the holders of the warrants reside, the warrants may have no value, the
market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants will expire worthless. There was no charge
associated with the issuance of these warrants in the Private Placement, as the Company has
determined that the purchase price of these warrants were above the fair value of such warrants.
Each of the Sponsors agreed to invest $30.0 million in the Company ($60.0 million in the
aggregate) in the form of co-investment units (Co-Investment Units) at a price of $10.00 per
Unit. Each of Berggruen Holdings and Marlin Equities is obligated to purchase such Co-Investment
Units from the Company immediately prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. In
connection with the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), Liberty has, subject to the
consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, waived the obligation of the Sponsors to
purchase the Co-Investment Units.
On August 4, 2010, the Company entered into Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with the
Sponsors and certain other Investors (as defined below), pursuant to which the Sponsors and the
other Investors agreed to purchase certain specified series of newly-created shares of the
Companys preferred stock (See Note I).
On August 4, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated Securities Surrender
Agreement with the Sponsors (restating and superseding in its entirety the Securities Surrender
Agreement entered into between the Company and the Sponsors on May 7, 2010), pursuant to which the
Sponsors agreed to sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase from the Sponsors,
immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger (as defined below), a specified number of the
shares of the Companys common stock and all of the approximately 24.8 million Company warrants
held by them (See Note I).
NOTE EINCOME TAXES
The Companys provision for income taxes reflects the application of federal, state and city
statutory rates to the Companys income before taxes. Components of the provision for income taxes
are as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the effective income tax rate of
(3.5%) and (5.1%), respectively, differs from the expected federal statutory benefit rate of (34%)
due to the effect of the non-deductibility of the Business Combination fees and expenses. For the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the effective income tax rate of 40% and
43.6%, respectively, differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% principally due to the effect
of state and city income taxes. For the period from June 27, 2007 (inception) to September 30,
2010, the effective income tax rate of 102% differs from the federal statutory rate principally due
to state and city income taxes and the non-deductibility of the warrant modification charge and the
Business Combination fees and expenses.
Deferred taxes for the September 30, 2010 and the December 31, 2009 condensed balance sheets
were primarily composed of the tax effect of the deferral of start-up costs for tax purposes.
NOTE FCOMMITMENTS
The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.85% of the Offering proceeds ($29.5 million) to
the underwriters at the closing of the Offering. Under the underwriting agreement, the Company is
required to pay the underwriters an additional fee of 2.65% of the Offering proceeds ($27.4
million) payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriters have agreed,
pursuant to an amended and restated letter agreement dated August 4, 2010, to reduce the deferred
portion of their underwriters discount by approximately $6.9 million, to approximately
$20.6 million (See Note I).
NOTE GPREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations,
voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has not issued any shares of preferred stock.

NOTE HFAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company complies with Fair Value Measurements for its financial assets and liabilities
that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets
and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The following table presents information about the Companys assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and
indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine
such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair value determined by Level
2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices in markets that are not
active, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable
data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any,
market activity for the asset or liability.

NOTE IBUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT
On March 5, 2010, the Company and Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. (Prisa) entered into a
business combination agreement, which agreement was amended and restated in its entirety pursuant
to an amended and restated business combination agreement entered into by the Company and Prisa on
August 4, 2010 and was further amended on August 13, 2010 (as so amended and restated, the
Business Combination Agreement), regarding a proposed business combination (the Proposed
Business Combination). Consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to the
satisfaction of a
16
LIBERTY ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
number of conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of the Company and Prisa.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has formed a new, wholly-owned Virginia
corporation (Liberty Virginia). At the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, the Company
will merge with and into Liberty Virginia (the Reincorporation Merger), with Liberty Virginia
surviving the merger and the Companys stockholders and warrantholders becoming stockholders and
warrantholders of Liberty Virginia. Immediately following the Reincorporation Merger, Liberty
Virginia will effect a statutory share exchange with Prisa under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act
and applicable Spanish law, pursuant to which Liberty Virginia will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prisa and the stockholders and warrantholders of Liberty Virginia will receive the
consideration described below.
As a result of the Proposed Business Combination, Prisa will become the owner of 100% of the
outstanding shares of Liberty Virginia capital stock and each share of Liberty Virginia common
stock (other than shares held by stockholders of the Company who have validly exercised their
redemption rights) will be exchanged for the right to receive either, at the option of the
stockholder, (1) $10.00 in cash (the Cash Consideration) or (2) the following consideration (the
Mixed Consideration): 1.5 newly created Prisa Class A ordinary shares, 3.0 newly created Prisa
Class B convertible non-voting shares and $0.50 in cash, as well as cash in lieu of any fractional
shares. Such election can be made for all or any portion of each stockholders shares. The Prisa
shares to be issued as part of the Mixed Consideration will be issued in the form of separate Prisa
American Depositary Shares representing the Class A ordinary shares and the Class B convertible
non-voting shares. The basic rights of the Class A ordinary shares and of the Class B convertible
non-voting shares of Prisa governed by Spanish law are contained in proposed amended by-laws of
Prisa to be adopted in connection with the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. A
more detailed description of the rights of the Class B convertible non-voting shares will be
contained in the resolutions to be adopted by Prisas shareholders authorizing the Class B
convertible non-voting shares at the special meeting of Prisas shareholders to be called for
approving the Proposed Business Combination, and are summarized in Schedule I to the Business
Combination Agreement.
On August 4, 2010 and August 13, 2010, the Company entered into separately negotiated
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (each, a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement) with the
Sponsors and certain entities (each, including each Sponsor, an Investor), pursuant to which
those Investors agreed to purchase certain specified series of newly-created shares of the
Companys preferred stock. The aggregate proceeds from the sale of all series of such preferred
stock will be $500 million, which proceeds may be used by Prisa and the Company to help fund the
required payments to those stockholders of the Company who elect to receive the Cash Consideration
pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Under the terms of the several
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements the Company will issue and sell an aggregate of 50,000 shares
of a new series of preferred stock to be designated as Series A Preferred Stock, for a purchase
price of $1,000 per share (all of which will be purchased by the Sponsors), an aggregate of 300,000
shares of a new series of preferred stock to be designated as Series B Preferred Stock, for a
purchase price of $1,000 per share, an aggregate of ten shares of a new series of preferred stock
to be designated as Series C Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $1.00 per share, an aggregate
of 50,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock to be designated as Series D Preferred Stock,
for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and an aggregate of 100,000 shares of a new series of
preferred stock to be designated as Series E Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $1,000 per
share. All shares of preferred stock so issued and sold by the Company will be exchanged in the
Proposed Business Combination for a combination of cash and Mixed Consideration, as set forth in
the Business Combination Agreement. Also on August 4, 2010, in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Companys board of directors authorized the
17

(UNAUDITED)
creation and issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock to be issued and sold
pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements.
In connection with, and as a condition to the consummation of, the Proposed Business
Combination, the Company is proposing to amend (the Warrant Amendment) the terms of the Second
Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2007, between the Company and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (as Warrant Agent). The proposed Warrant Amendment (as
revised on August 4, 2010 pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) provides that, in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement, each Company warrant outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the share
exchange described above will, automatically and without any action by the warrantholder, at the
effective time of the share exchange, be exchanged by Prisa and transferred by such holder to Prisa
for consideration (collectively, the Warrant Consideration) consisting of:
|
|
|
cash in the amount of $0.90 per outstanding warrant to be delivered by
Liberty Virginia (for aggregate cash consideration to the Companys
warrant holders of approximately $46.7 million, after giving effect to
the sale by the Sponsors of all of their warrants to Liberty for
nominal consideration pursuant to the terms of the amended and
restated Securities Surrender Agreement, as described below); and
|
|
|
|
|
Prisa American Depositary Shares representing 0.45 newly issued Prisa
Class A ordinary shares per outstanding warrant.
|
The transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be accounted for as an
acquisition by Prisa of the Company, and the accounting of the business combination transaction
will be similar to that of a capital infusion, as the only significant pre-combination assets of
the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents. No intangible assets or goodwill will be
recognized by Prisa as a result of the transaction; accordingly, Prisa will record the equity
issued in exchange for the Companys securities based on the value of the assets and liabilities
received as of the closing date of the Proposed Business Combination.
On August 4, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated Securities Surrender
Agreement with the Sponsors (restating and superseding in its entirety the Securities Surrender
Agreement entered into between the Company and the Sponsors on May 7, 2010), pursuant to which the
Sponsors agreed to sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase from the Sponsors,
immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger, (1) an aggregate of approximately 3.3 million
shares of the Companys common stock and all of the approximately 24.8 million Company warrants
held by them for an aggregate purchase price of $825, (2) an aggregate of an additional 2.6 million
shares of the Companys common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $260 if the total amount of
cash payable in the Proposed Business Combination to the Companys stockholders who exercise their
redemption rights or elect to receive the Cash Consideration exceeds $525 million and (3) an
aggregate of an additional 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $50 if the total amount of cash payable in the Proposed Business Combination to the
Companys stockholders who exercise their redemption rights or elect to receive the Cash
Consideration exceeds $750 million. The obligation of the Sponsors to sell all such securities
expires if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated for any reason.

(UNAUDITED)
As a result of the Sponsors agreement to sell a portion of their securities to the Company,
the Companys underwriters of the Offering have agreed, pursuant to an amended and restated letter
agreement dated August 4, 2010, to reduce the deferred portion of their underwriters discount by
approximately $6.9 million, to approximately $20.6 million. This amended and restated letter
agreement restates and supersedes in its entirety the letter agreement entered into between the
Company and the underwriters on May 7, 2010, pursuant to which the underwriters had agreed to
reduce the deferred portion of their underwriters discount by $3.0 million.
NOTE JSUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 25, 2010, the Company announced that it intends to hold the special meetings of its
stockholders and warrantholders to consider and vote upon the Proposed Business Combination and the
Warrant Amendment on November 24, 2010. The Company expects the closing of the Proposed Business
Combination, if approved, to occur as promptly as practicable thereafter, subject to the
satisfaction of various closing conditions and Prisas shareholders meeting having occurred. The
Company expects the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock to occur prior to the date
of the Companys special meetings of stockholders and warrantholders, pursuant to the terms of the
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.

Overview
We were formed on June 27, 2007. We plan to effect a merger, stock exchange, asset
acquisition, reorganization or similar Business Combination with an operating business or
businesses which we believe have significant growth potential. We consummated our initial public
offering on December 12, 2007.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues from operations to date.
Our entire activity since inception has been to prepare for and consummate our initial public
offering and to identify and investigate targets for a Business Combination. We will not generate
any operating revenues prior to our consummation of a Business Combination. We generate
non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents.
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $4.9 million, which
consisted of approximately $0.2 million in interest income offset by approximately $0.7 million in
formation and administrative expenses and $4.5 million of Business Combination fees and expenses,
less approximately $0.2 million for income taxes. Net income for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 was approximately $0.2 million, which consisted of approximately $0.5 million in
interest income offset by approximately $0.2 million in formation and administrative expenses and
approximately $0.1 million for income taxes. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
was approximately $13.2 million, which consisted of approximately $0.4 million in interest income
offset by approximately $2.5 million in formation and administrative expenses and $11.8 million of
Business Combination fees and expenses, less approximately $0.7 million for income taxes. Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $1.6 million, which consisted
of approximately $3.6 million in interest income offset by approximately $0.8 million in formation
and administrative expenses and approximately $1.2 million for income taxes. Please see Note B to
the Companys financial statements Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Stock-based
compensation and Note D Related Party Transactions. The trustee of the Trust Account will pay
any taxes resulting from interest accrued on the funds held in the Trust Account out of the funds
held in the Trust Account.
Proposed Business Combination with Prisa
On March 5, 2010, we entered into a business combination agreement with Promotora de
Informaciones, S.A. (Prisa), which agreement was amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to
an amended and restated business combination agreement entered into by us and Prisa on August 4,
2010 and was further amended on August 13, 2010 (as so amended and restated, the Business
Combination Agreement), regarding a proposed business combination (the Proposed Business
Combination). Consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction
of a number of conditions, including the approval of our stockholders and the shareholders of
Prisa. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, we have formed a new, wholly-owned Virginia
corporation (Liberty Virginia). At the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, we will
merge with and into Liberty Virginia (the Reincorporation Merger), with Liberty Virginia
surviving the merger and our stockholders and warrantholders becoming stockholders and
warrantholders of Liberty Virginia. Immediately following the Reincorporation Merger, Liberty
Virginia will effect a statutory share exchange with Prisa under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act
and applicable Spanish law, pursuant to which Liberty Virginia will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prisa and the stockholders and warrantholders of Liberty Virginia will receive the
consideration described below.
20
As a result of the Proposed Business Combination, Prisa will become the owner of 100% of the
outstanding shares of Liberty Virginia stock and each share of Liberty Virginia common stock (other
than shares held by our stockholders who have validly exercised their redemption rights) will be
exchanged for the right to receive either, at the option of the stockholder, (1) $10.00 in cash
(the Cash Consideration) or (2) the following consideration (the Mixed Consideration): 1.5
newly created Prisa Class A ordinary shares, 3.0 newly created Prisa Class B convertible non-voting
shares and $0.50 in cash, as well as cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Such election can be
made for all or any portion of each stockholders shares. The Prisa shares to be issued as part of
the Mixed Consideration will be issued in the form of separate Prisa American Depositary Shares
representing the Class A ordinary shares and the Class B convertible non-voting shares. The basic
rights of the Class A ordinary shares and of the Class B convertible non-voting shares of Prisa
governed by Spanish law are contained in proposed amended by-laws of Prisa to be adopted in
connection with the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. A more detailed description
of the rights of the Class B convertible non-voting shares will be contained in the resolutions to
be adopted by Prisas shareholders authorizing the Class B convertible non-voting shares at the
special meeting of Prisas shareholders to be called for approving the Proposed Business
Combination, and are summarized in Schedule I to the Business Combination Agreement.
On August 4, 2010 and August 13, 2010, we entered into separately negotiated Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreements (each, a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement) with the Sponsors and certain
entities (each, including each Sponsor, an Investor), pursuant to which those Investors agreed to
purchase certain specified series of newly-created shares of our preferred stock. The aggregate
proceeds from the sale of all series of such preferred stock will be $500 million, which proceeds
may be used by Prisa and us to help fund the required payments to those stockholders of Liberty who
elect to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination
Agreement. Under the terms of the several Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements we will issue and
sell an aggregate of 50,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock to be designated as Series A
Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $1,000 per share (all of which will be purchased by the
Sponsors), an aggregate of 300,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock to be designated as
Series B Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, an aggregate of ten shares of a
new series of preferred stock to be designated as Series C Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of
$1.00 per share, an aggregate of 50,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock to be designated
as Series D Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and an aggregate of 100,000
shares of a new series of preferred stock to be designated as Series E Preferred Stock, for a
purchase price of $1,000 per share. All shares of preferred stock so issued and sold by us will be
exchanged in the Proposed Business Combination for a combination of cash and Mixed Consideration,
as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
In connection with, and as a condition to the consummation of, the Proposed Business
Combination, we are proposing to amend (the Warrant Amendment) the terms of the Second Amended
and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2007, between us and Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company (as Warrant Agent). The proposed Warrant Amendment (as revised on August
4, 2010 pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) provides that, in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, each of our
warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the share exchange described above
will, automatically and without any action by the warrantholder, at the effective time of the share
exchange, be exchanged by Prisa and transferred by such holder to Prisa for consideration
(collectively, the Warrant Consideration) consisting of:
|
|
|
cash in the amount of $0.90 per outstanding warrant to be delivered by
Liberty Virginia (for aggregate cash consideration to our warrant
holders of approximately $46.7 million, after giving effect to the
sale by our sponsors of all of their warrants to Liberty for nominal
consideration pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Surrender
Agreement, as defined below); and
|
21
|
|
|
Prisa American Depositary Shares representing 0.45 newly issued Prisa
Class A ordinary shares per outstanding warrant.
|
The transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be accounted for as an
acquisition by Prisa of us, and the accounting of the business combination transaction will be
similar to that of a capital infusion, as our only significant pre-combination assets consist of
cash and cash equivalents. No intangible assets or goodwill will be recognized by Prisa as a
result of the transaction; accordingly, Prisa will record the equity issued in exchange for our
securities based on the value of the assets and liabilities received as of the closing date of the
Proposed Business Combination.
On August 4, 2010, we entered into an amended and restated securities surrender agreement with
our sponsors (restating and superseding in its entirety the securities surrender agreement entered
into between us and the sponsors on May 7, 2010) (as so amended and restated, the Sponsor
Surrender Agreement), pursuant to which the sponsors agreed to sell to us, and we agreed to
purchase from the sponsors, immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger, (1) an aggregate of
approximately 3.3 million shares of our common stock and all of the approximately 24.8 million
Liberty warrants held by them for an aggregate purchase price of $825, (2) an aggregate of an
additional 2.6 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $260 if the
total amount of cash payable in the Proposed Business Combination to our stockholders who exercise
their redemption rights or elect to receive the Cash Consideration exceeds $525 million and (3) an
aggregate of an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$50 if the total amount of cash payable in the Proposed Business Combination to our stockholders
who exercise their redemption rights or elect to receive the Cash Consideration exceeds $750
million. The obligation of the sponsors to sell all such securities expires if the Business
Combination Agreement is terminated for any reason.
As a result of the sponsors agreement to sell a portion of their securities to us, the
underwriters of our initial public offering have agreed, pursuant to an amended and restated letter
agreement dated August 4, 2010, to reduce the deferred portion of their underwriters discount by
approximately $6.9 million, to approximately $20.6 million. This amended and restated letter
agreement restates and supersedes in its entirety the letter agreement entered into between us and
the underwriters on May 7, 2010, pursuant to which the underwriters had agreed to reduce the
deferred portion of their underwriters discount by $3.0 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never
established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other
entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations,
purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The net proceeds from (i) the sale of the units in our initial public offering (including the
underwriters over-allotment option), after deducting approximately $57.7 million to be applied to
underwriting discounts, offering expenses and working capital and (ii) the sale of the sponsors
warrants
22
for a purchase price of $12.0 million, was approximately $1,016.7 million. All of these net
proceeds were placed in trust, except for $0.1 million that was used for working capital.
We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering to
acquire one or more target businesses, including identifying and evaluating prospective target
businesses, selecting one or more target businesses, and structuring, negotiating and consummating
the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is paid for using stock or debt securities,
we may apply the cash released to us from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes,
including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the acquired business or businesses, the
payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in consummating our initial Business
Combination, to fund the purchase of other companies, or for working capital.
As of September 30, 2010, we had cash outside of the Trust Account of approximately $3.3
million, cash held in the Trust Account of approximately $1,021.3 million and total liabilities of
approximately $334.8 million (which includes approximately $307.2 million of common stock which is
subject to possible redemption and related deferred interest). The funds available to us outside
of the Trust Account exceed our current liabilities as of September 30, 2010. Accordingly, if we
do not complete a Business Combination, we expect to have insufficient funds to pay all of our
current liabilities. Of the funds held outside of the Trust Account, we anticipate using these
funds to cover the due diligence and investigation of a target business or businesses; legal,
accounting and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting an initial
Business Combination; and office space, administrative services and secretarial support prior to
consummating a Business Combination.
If the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account are insufficient to cover our
expenses, we may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of
which is currently unascertainable. In this event, we could seek such additional capital through
loans or additional investments from our sponsors, Mr. Berggruen or our directors, but, except for
the co-investment, none of such sponsors, Mr. Berggruen or our directors is under any obligation to
advance funds to, or invest in, us. Any such interest income not used to fund our working capital
requirements or repay advances from our founders or for due diligence or legal, accounting and
non-due diligence expenses will be usable by us to pay other expenses that may exceed our current
estimates.
As of September 30, 2010, the underlying assets of our Trust Account consisted of shares of
the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the JPMorgan Fund), the Goldman Sachs Financial
Square Federal Fund (the Goldman Fund) and the Federated Government Obligation Class Fund (the
Federated Government Fund, and together with the JPMorgan Fund and the Goldman Fund, the
Funds). According to the relevant prospectus of each Fund:
|
|
|
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. serves as investment adviser to the JPMorgan
Fund, which under normal conditions, invests its assets exclusively in debt securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or by U.S. government agencies or
instrumentalities and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and
U.S. government securities;
|
|
|
|
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. serves as investment adviser to the Goldman
Fund, which limits its investments only to certain U.S. Treasury obligations and U.S.
government securities; and
|
|
|
|
Federated Investment Management Company serves as investment adviser to the
Federated Government Fund, which invests in short-term U.S. Treasury obligations and
U.S. government obligations, including repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
treasury and government agency securities.
|
23
As of September 30, 2010, we believe, based on publicly available information, that our
position in each of the Funds accounted for no more than 5% of the total assets of any such Fund.
We and the trustee of the Trust Account continuously monitor the Funds in this volatile market
environment and expect to take whatever actions we and the trustee deem appropriate with respect to
protecting and preserving the assets contained in the Trust Account.

ITEM 3.
|
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
|
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair
value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. Approximately
$1,016.7 million of the net offering proceeds (which includes $27.4 million of the proceeds
attributable to the underwriters discount) has been placed into the Trust Account maintained by
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. As of September 30, 2010, the
balance of the Trust Account was approximately $1,021.3 million. The proceeds held in trust are
invested in U.S. government securities, defined as any Treasury Bill issued by the United States
having a maturity of 180 days or less and/or in any open ended money market(s) selected by us
meeting the conditions of Sections (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Thus, we are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes
in interest rates on government securities. The effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange
rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices, does not pose significant market risk to us. As of
September 30, 2010, the effective annualized interest rate payable on our investment was
approximately 0.06% (based upon the average yield earned during the last reported monthly period).
Assuming no other changes to our holdings as of September 30, 2010, a 0.06% decrease in the yield
on our investment as of September 30, 2010 would result in a decrease of approximately $0.2 million
in the interest earned on our investment for the following quarterly period. We have not engaged
in any hedging activities since our inception. We do not expect to engage in any hedging
activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.
|
|
|
ITEM 4.
|
|
Controls and Procedures.
|
We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the
Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Nicolas
Berggruen, our Chief Executive Officer, participated in this evaluation. Based upon that
evaluation, Mr. Berggruen concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as
of the end of the period covered by the report.
As a result of the evaluation completed by Mr. Berggruen, we have concluded that there were no
changes during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 in our internal controls over financial
reporting, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal controls over financial reporting.

August 16, 2010, we did not engage in any unregistered sales of equity securities during the three
months ended September 30, 2010.
Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering
On December 12, 2007, we closed our initial public offering of 103,500,000 units (which
included 13,500,000 purchased by the underwriters pursuant to their over-allotment option) with
each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one-half (1/2) of one warrant to purchase one
share of our common stock at a price of $5.50 per share. All of the units registered were sold at
an offering price of $10.00 per unit and generated gross proceeds of $1,035 million. The
securities sold in our initial public offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on
a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-145559). The SEC declared the registration statement
effective on December 6, 2007. Citigroup Global Market Inc. acted as sole bookrunning manager and
representative of Lehman Brothers Inc.
We received net proceeds of approximately $1,016.7 million from our initial public offering
(including proceeds from the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option). Of
those net proceeds, approximately $27.4 million is attributable to the deferred underwriters
discount. Expenses related to the offering totaled approximately $57.7 million. The net proceeds
were deposited into the Trust Account and will be part of the funds distributed to our public
stockholders in the event we are unable to complete a Business Combination. The remaining proceeds
($100,000) became available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence
on prospective transactions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Unless and until a
Business Combination is consummated, the proceeds held in the Trust Account will not be available
to us, except to pay any income taxes and $10.35 million that has been taken from the interest
earned on the Trust Account to fund our working capital. These proceeds have been and will
continue to be used in addition to the $100,000, to pay for business, legal, and accounting due
diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses This
limitation on our working capital will preclude us from declaring and paying dividends. The net
proceeds deposited into the Trust Account remain on deposit in the Trust Account and earned
approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and approximately $3.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
