Assets And Liabilities Measured At Fair Value

(6)听听听Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

听

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level听1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level听2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level听1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level听3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not have any recurring assets or liabilities measured at fair value that would be considered Level 3.

听

Liberty's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

The majority of Liberty's Level听2 financial instruments are debt related instruments and derivative instruments. The Company notes that these assets are not always traded publicly or not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in GAAP.听听听The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs.听听听The fair value of debt related instruments are based on quoted market prices but not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined by GAAP.听听Accordingly, those available-for-sale securities, financial instruments and debt related instruments are reported in the foregoing table as Level听2 fair value. The financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other assets, net of accumulated amortization line item in the consolidated balance sheets.

(a)

Liberty issued $1 billion of cash convertible notes in October 2013 which are accounted for at fair value (Level 2), as elected by Liberty at the time of issuance. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the convertible notes, Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges, which are expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the convertible notes, upon conversion of the notes. The bond hedges are marked to market based on the trading price of underlying securities and other observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2). See note 10 for additional discussion of the convertible notes and the bond hedges.听

(b)

Derivatives, including Charter warrants (as discussed in note 8), are marked to market based on the trading price of underlying securities and other observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2).

(c)

During September 2014, Liberty entered into a forward contract to acquire up to 15.9 million shares of Live Nation common stock. The contract expires during March 2015. The counterparty has acquired 8.6 million shares of Live Nation common stock through December 31, 2014 at a volume weighted average share price of $23.40 per share. Upon expiration of the contract, Liberty has the option to cash settle the contract. 听
