### Charter Communications to Acquire Liberty Broadband Corporation – Creating a Stronger Telecom Entity

Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) and Liberty Broadband Corporation (NASDAQ: LBRDA, LBRDK, LBRDP) have officially announced a significant agreement today. According to the terms of the deal, Charter will be acquiring Liberty Broadband in an all-stock transaction.

Under the terms of the agreement, holders of Liberty Broadband Series A, Series B, and Series C common stocks will receive 0.236 shares of Charter common stock per share of Liberty Broadband common stock owned, with cash being issued for fractional shares. Additionally, holders of Liberty Broadband Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock will receive one share of Charter cumulative redeemable preferred stock per Liberty Broadband preferred stock owned, mirroring the terms of the Liberty Broadband preferred stock.

The pivotal aspects of Liberty Broadband currently include an interest in Charter Communications and its subsidiary GCI, LLC (GCI), Alaska’s major communications provider. Liberty Broadband has agreed to spin off its GCI business by distributing it to Liberty Broadband stockholders before finalizing Charter’s acquisition. The GCI distribution is projected to be taxable to Liberty Broadband and its shareholders, with Charter undertaking the corporate level tax liability after the combination. The organizations anticipate the transaction to close by June 30, 2027, contingent on the completion of the GCI spin-off and other customary closing conditions.
