Liberty 1.375% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023

On October 17, 2013, Liberty issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 ("Convertible Notes").����The Convertible Notes will mature on October 15, 2023 unless earlier repurchased by us or converted.����Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year at a rate of 1.375% per annum. All conversion of the Convertible Notes will be settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities.����The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 5.5882 shares of Liberty Series A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $178.95 per share of Liberty Series A common stock.����Upon the issuance of Series C common stock on July 23, 2014 the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted to 15.7760 shares of Series A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes and an adjusted conversion price of $63.39 per share with an additional adjustment expected for the Broadband Spin. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013, if the last reported sale price of our Series A common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is equal to or more than 130% of the conversion price of the notes on the last day of such preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business‑day period after any five consecutive trading day period, which we refer to as the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our����Series A common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions.����Liberty has elected to account for this instrument using the fair value option.����Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this instrument are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statement of operations.����As of September 30, 2014, the Convertible Notes are classified as a long term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the conversion conditions have not been met as of such date.

Additionally, contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges and purchased call options (the “Bond Hedge Transaction”). The Bond Hedge Transaction covered approximately 5,588,200 shares (adjusted to 15,776,000 for the Series C common stock distribution in July 2014 with an additional adjustment expected for��the Broadband Spin upon the completion of an adequate trading period) of Liberty Series A common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pertaining to the Convertible Notes, which is equal to the number of shares of Liberty Series A common stock that will initially underlie the Convertible Notes.����The Bond Hedge Transaction is 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 in the event that the volume-weighted average price per share of the Liberty Series A common stock, as measured under the cash convertible note hedge transactions on each trading day of the relevant cash settlement averaging period or other relevant valuation period, is greater than the strike price of $178.95 per share (adjusted to $63.39 per share for the Series C common stock distribution in July 2014 with an additional adjustment expected for the��Broadband Spin upon the completion of an adequate trading period) of Liberty Series A common stock, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes. Liberty paid approximately $299 million for the Bond Hedge Transaction.����The expiration of these instruments is October, 15, 2023 and is included in other long-term assets as of September 30, 2014 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, with changes in the fair value recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the statement of operations.

Margin Loans

During the year ended December 31, 2013, in connection with Liberty's acquisition of Charter common stock and warrants, as discussed in note 6, Liberty, through certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into several margin loans with various financial institutions (“lender parties”) in order to fund the purchase. Each agreement contains language that indicates that Liberty, as borrower and transferor of underlying shares as collateral, has the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the transferred shares for all purposes, provided that Liberty agrees that it will not vote the shares in any manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to transfer or certain other restrictions. Similarly, the loan agreements indicate that no lender party shall have any voting rights with respect to the shares transferred, except to the extent that a lender party buys any shares in a sale or other disposition made pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements.

On April 30, 2013, Liberty Siri MarginCo, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty, entered into a margin loan agreement whereby Liberty Siri MarginCo, LLC borrowed $250 million pursuant to a term loan and $450 million pursuant to a revolving credit facility with various lender parties with incremental borrowings through the prior year end. Shares of SIRIUS XM, Live Nation, Time Warner, Inc., Viacom, Inc., CenturyLink, Inc., and Time Warner Cable, Inc. common stock were pledged as collateral pursuant to this agreement. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread, based on the market value of the non-SIRIUS XM shares pledged as collateral pursuant to the agreement and such assets and available credit are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of Liberty and its other subsidiaries. Given the non-SIRIUS XM market value of the eligible pledged shares as of April 30, 2013, the initial interest rate on the loan is LIBOR plus��2% which has not changed since inception.����Interest on the term loan is payable on the first business day of each calendar quarter, and interest is payable on the revolving line of credit on the last day of the interest period applicable to the borrowing of which such loan is a part. As of September 30, 2014, availability under the revolving line of credit was $750 million. Additionally, up to $1 billion in loans may be extended under the loan agreement in the form of incremental loans, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.�� During October 2014, Liberty refinanced the current margin loan arrangement for a similar financial instrument with a term loan of $250 million and a $750 million undrawn line of credit.����The term loan and any drawn portion of the revolver will carry an interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable spread between 1.75% and 2.50% (based on value of collateral) with the undrawn portion carrying a fee of 0.75%.����The maturity of the new arrangement is October 28, 2015.����Other terms of the loan were substantially similar to the current arrangement.

$670 Million Margin Loan due 2015

At closing on May 1, 2013, LMC Cheetah 2, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty, entered into a margin loan agreement with an availability of $670 million pursuant to a term loan with various lender parties ("$670 Million Margin Loan due 2015").����Shares of Charter common stock were pledged as collateral pursuant to this agreement. The $670 Million Margin Loan due May 1, 2015 bears interest equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.25%, payable on the first day of each of February, May, August and November throughout the term of the loan. During the nine months ended��September 30, 2014, Liberty has fully repaid the $670 Million Margin Loan due 2015 and the shares previously pledged under the loan are no longer pledged as collateral.

As of September 30, 2014, the values of shares pledged as collateral pursuant to the remaining margin loan agreement are as follows:

The outstanding margin loan contains various affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the activities of the borrower. The loan agreement does not include any financial covenants.

SIRIUS XM Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2012, SIRIUS XM entered into a five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of financial institutions for $1,250 million.����The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all SIRIUS XM's assets and the assets of their subsidiaries. The proceeds of loans under the Credit Facility have been or will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including financing acquisitions, share repurchases and dividends.����Interest on borrowings is payable on a quarterly basis and accrues at a rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable rate. SIRIUS XM is required to pay a variable fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility which is currently 0.35% per annum and is payable on a quarterly basis. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including a maintenance covenant.

As of September 30, 2014, availability under the Credit Facility was $1,105 million.

SIRIUS XM intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.����The notes are recorded net of the remaining unamortized original issue discount.

As of September 30, 2014, SIRIUS XM was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The fair value, based on quoted market prices of the same instruments but not considered to be active markets (Level��2), of SIRIUS XM's publicly traded debt securities, not reported at fair value, are as follows (amounts in millions):
