Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
The information contained in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following information:
Liberty Interactive Corporation, Liberty Interactive LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive, and
GCI Liberty, Inc. (formerly known as General Communication, Inc.), an Alaska corporation (
GCI Liberty
)
, completed a series of transactions pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of April 4, 2017 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Reorganization Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2017, and by Amendment No. 2 to Reorganization Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2017, the
Reorganization Agreement
), including the Split-Off (as defined below).
Split-Off
At 4:01 p.m., New York City time, on March 9, 2018 (the
Split-Off Effective Time
), Liberty Interactive redeemed (a)
each outstanding share of LVNTA, for one share of GCI Libertys Class A common stock, no par value (
GLIBA
), with no shares of LVNTA remaining outstanding, and (b) each outstanding share of LVNTB, for one share of GCI Libertys Class B common stock, no par value (
GLIBB
), with no shares of LVNTB remaining outstanding, with the effect that GCI Liberty was split-off (the
Split-Off
) from Liberty Interactive. As a result,
all shares of LVNTA and LVNTB beneficially owned by Mr. Maffei at the Split-Off Effective Time were redeemed for shares of GLIBA and GLIBB, respectively. Mr. Maffei continues to beneficially own shares of Series A QVC common stock, $0.01 par value, and Series B QVC common stock, $0.01 par value.
Furthermore, as a result of the Split-Off, each holder of (a) options to acquire shares of LVNTA or LVNTB (whether unvested, partially vested or fully vested) (each, a
LVNT Option
), received, in exchange for such LVNT Option, an option to purchase an equivalent number of shares of the corresponding class of GCI Liberty common stock and (b) shares of LVNTA or LVNTB that were subject to a restricted stock award granted under a stock incentive

plan of Liberty Interactive (
LVNT Restricted Stock
), received shares of GLIBA or GLIBB, as the case may be, in the Split-Off subject, in all material respects, to the same terms and conditions as those applicable to such shares of LVNT Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Split-Off. As a result,
all LVNT Options and shares of LVNT Restricted Stock held by Mr. Maffei were adjusted for corresponding equity incentive awards with respect to GLIBA and GLIBB, as applicable.
