Subject line: GCI Comes Full Circle

Dear fellow Alaskans and GCI customers -

Today GCI announced an agreement that will combine our business with the assets of Liberty Ventures Group to form a new company to be called GCI Liberty. While this transaction means GCI will become part of a larger company with diverse business assets, our commitment to Alaska and our customers, our products and services, our GCI brand, and our strong local presence will remain as strong as ever.

Thirty-eight years ago, GCI got its start in Alaska when our founders, Ron Duncan and Bob Walp, saw an opportunity to better connect Alaskans with innovative communications technology. Ron and the rest of our leadership team will continue to run GCI locally. Our headquarters will remain in Midtown Anchorage, and our workforce of 2,000-plus Alaskans - your friends and neighbors - will continue to serve your communications needs.

In some ways, this transaction brings GCI full circle. Dr. John Malone, one of the pioneers of the global cable industry, is a significant investor in the Liberty group of companies. The predecessor to the Liberty group, TCI, which was run by Dr. Malone, provided the funding GCI needed to begin operations in 1979. Dr. Malone has always been a good partner for both GCI and Alaska. We have no doubt that the next steps for GCI with Liberty will turn out to be as beneficial to Alaska and our customers as the previous ones have been.

After the transaction closes, what you will see is GCI’s continuing passion for connecting our great state and our fellow Alaskans with the best communications products and services. All of us at GCI are grateful for your support over the years, and we will continue to work hard to retain your support in the years ahead.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-800-4800.

Sincerely,
Paul Landes
