(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 issuance of the notes. 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 8 for additional discussion of the convertible notes and the bond hedges.Ìý

(b)

Derivatives, including warrants to purchase shares of Charter common stock which were exercised in 2014, 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 counterparty has acquired 11 million shares of Live Nation common stock through March 31, 2015 at a volume weighted average share price of $23.69 per share. Prior to the contract’s original expiration during March 2015, the Company extended the contract through September 2015. Upon expiration of the contract, Liberty has the option to cash settle the contract.
