The Liberty Media Corporation.
From Jim’s note to the company:
“John and I remain significant investors in Backcountry.com and we will remain in our positions. Liberty is an appealing partner for many reason, but first and foremost we liked the approach they use where they leave companies like ours to run ourselves. They don’t intend to make any personnel changes and they won’t be sending any employees or managers to us; no suits roaming the halls. The company will run just as it has, with the same people and the same goals and vision. Liberty’s management team loves where we’re going and they’re psyched to help us get there.”
