WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549

 

SCHEDULE 13D/A

(Amendment No. 12-B)

 

Statement of

 

RONALD A. DUNCAN

 

Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

in respect of

 

GCI LIBERTY, INC.

 

This Amendment No. 12-B (this “Twelfth Amendment”) hereby amends and supplements, but is not a complete restatement of, the Schedule 13D filed on behalf of Ronald A. Duncan (“Mr. Duncan”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as a result of an event on May 1, 1988, as amended by Amendment No. 1-B filed with the Commission as a result of an event on January 1, 1989, Amendment No. 2-B filed with the Commission as a result of an event on January 6, 1992, Amendment No. 3-B filed with the Commission as a result of an event on May 28, 1992, Amendment No. 4-B filed with the Commission on November 14, 1996, Amendment No. 5-B filed with the Commission on October 6, 1997, Amendment No. 6-B filed with the Commission on November 25, 1998, Amendment 7-B filed with the Commission on November 17, 2010, Amendment 8-B filed with the Commission on March 28, 2016, Amendment 9-B (the “Ninth Amendment”) filed with the Commission on April 7, 2017, Amendment 10-B filed with the Commission on November 22, 2017 and Amendment 11-B filed with the Commission on February 22, 2018 (the Schedule 13D, with all amendments including this Twelfth Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Twelfth  Amendment carry the meanings given to them in the Ninth Amendment.  This Twelfth Amendment should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Schedule 13D.

 

This Twelfth Amendment is being filed to report the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person with respect to the Class B Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of GCI Liberty, Inc. (formerly known as General Communication, Inc.), an Alaska corporation (the “Issuer”), and to terminate the Reporting Person’s reporting obligations with respect thereto.

 

The Schedule 13D is supplemented and amended as follows:

 

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is amended to include the following information:

 

As of 4:21 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, March 8, 2018, the Issuer effected the automatic conversion (as further defined in the Ninth Amendment, the “Auto Conversion”) of its Class A-1 Common Stock and its Class B-1 Common Stock (the “former Issuer common stock”) in accordance with the terms of the Issuer’s  Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to which holders of the former Issuer common stock received (i) 0.63 of a share of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and (ii) 0.20 of a share of new GCI Liberty Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, in exchange for each share of their former Issuer common stock.  On or about 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, March 9, 2018, Liberty Interactive Corporation (“Liberty”) acquired the Issuer through a reorganization in which certain assets and liabilities of Liberty’s Ventures Group were contributed to the Issuer in exchange for a controlling interest in the Issuer (as further defined in the Ninth Amendment, the “Contribution”).  Following the completion of the Contribution at 4:01 p.m. New York City time, on Friday, March 9, 2018, Liberty completed the redemption of each outstanding share of Liberty Ventures Series A common stock and Liberty Ventures Series B common stock in exchange for one share of the corresponding class of the new Issuer common stock (as further defined in the Ninth Amendment, the “Split-Off”, and together with the GCI Reclassification, the Auto Conversion and the Contribution, the “Transactions”).

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5(a) is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(a)         Following the completion of the Auto Conversion on March 8, 2018, Mr. Duncan does not beneficially own any shares of Class B Common Stock.

 

(e)          This Twelfth Amendment is being filed to report the changes to the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer resulting from the completion of the Transactions.  The Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of any of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock following the completion of the Transactions. Therefore, this Twelfth Amendment will constitute the final amendment to this Schedule 13D and an exit filing for the Reporting Person, and will terminate the obligations of the Reporting Person to further amend this Schedule 13D.
