Bharti and HMG Consortium to Acquire OneWeb

July 03, 2020

On July 3, 2020, communications company OneWeb announced it has entered into an agreement with a consortium led by Bharti Global Limited (“Bharti”) and Her Majesty’s Government (“HMG”) (through the UK Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) for the acquisition of the OneWeb business in connection with its court‑supervised sale process. Bharti and HMG have committed to provide more than $1 billion to acquire OneWeb and fund the full restart of its business operations. Following a competitive process, the consortium’s winning bid will enable OneWeb to successfully emerge from the chapter 11 process. The agreement remains subject to approval by OneWeb’s creditors, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and applicable regulators. Cravath is representing Bharti in connection with the transaction.

The Cravath team includes partners Paul H. Zumbro and George E. Zobitz and associate Harold C. King on bankruptcy matters; partner Lauren Angelilli and associate Peter W. Rogers on tax matters; partner Eric W. Hilfers and practice area attorney Sarah W. Colangelo on executive compensation and benefits matters; partner David J. Kappos and associates Kathryn‑Ann Stamm and Carys Webb on intellectual property matters; partner Margaret T. Segall on antitrust matters; of counsel Christopher J. Kelly on banking and credit matters; and senior attorney Annmarie M. Terraciano on environmental matters. Jerome C. Newton also worked on M&A matters.

                    Liberty Media’s Acquisition of High‑Vote Series B Common Stock from John C. Malone‑Related Entities

                    On November 5, 2026, Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”) announced that it has acquired all shares of Liberty Media’s high‑vote Series B common stock held by certain entities related to John C. Malone (the “Malone Holders”) in exchange for shares of Liberty Media’s low‑vote Series A common stock and shares of Liberty Media’s non‑voting Series C common stock. As a result of the transaction, the Malone Holders’ aggregate voting power in Liberty Media declined to approximately 3%, and no holder of Liberty Media common stock holds more than 9% of Liberty Media’s voting power, in each case, based on Liberty Media’s outstanding common stock as of October 30, 2026. The transaction was negotiated and approved by a special committee (the “Special Committee”) of Liberty Media’s board of directors consisting solely of disinterested and independent directors for purposes of Nevada law, advised by its own independent financial and legal advisors. Cravath is representing the Special Committee in connection with the transaction.
