(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.Ìý

(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. Ìý
