Liberty Broadband Corporation Closes Private Offering of $1,265 Million of 3.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053 and Announces Results of Its Cash Tender Offers for the Outstanding Existing Debentures

Offering of $1,265 Million of 3.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 28, 2023—Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) (Nasdaq: LBRDA, LBRDK, LBRDP) announced today that it has closed its previously announced private offering of $1,265 million aggregate original principal amount of its 3.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2053 (the “Debentures”) exchangeable for Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) Class A common stock, including Debentures in an aggregate original principal amount of $165 million issued pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the initial purchasers, which was exercised in full on February 23, 2023.

Upon an exchange of Debentures, Liberty Broadband, at its option, may deliver shares of Charter Class A common stock or the value thereof in cash or any combination of shares of Charter Class A common stock and cash. Initially, 1.8901 shares of Charter Class A common stock are attributable to each $1,000 original principal amount of Debentures, representing an initial exchange price of approximately $529.07 for each share of Charter Class A common stock. A total of 2,390,977 shares of Charter Class A common stock are attributable to the Debentures. Interest is payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2023. The Debentures may be redeemed by Liberty Broadband, in whole or in part, on or after April 6, 2026. Holders of Debentures also have the right to require Liberty Broadband to purchase their Debentures on April 6, 2026. The redemption and purchase price will generally equal 100% of the adjusted principal amount of the Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, plus any final period distribution.

Liberty Broadband used the net proceeds of the offering, together with existing cash on hand, to repurchase all of the outstanding 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046 of Grizzly Merger Sub 1, LLC, Liberty Broadband’s wholly owned subsidiary, all of Liberty Broadband’s outstanding 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and a significant portion of Liberty Broadband’s outstanding 1.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 (each as described below).

The offering of the Debentures has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Debentures were offered by means of an offering memorandum solely to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” pursuant to, and as that term is defined in, Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Debentures nor shall there be any sale of Debentures in any state in which such offer, solicitation

or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.
