(a)

As discussed in note 3, on March 27, 2015, Liberty Broadband entered into a cashless collar agreement with a financial institution on 1.7 million Time Warner Cable shares held by the Company. In connection with this collar agreement, the Company also entered into a revolving loan agreement, pursuant to which the Company drew $40 million during April 2015. 1.7 million shares of Time Warner Cable were pledged as collateral to borrowings outstanding under this loan (note 7). The Company unwound the collar agreement and corresponding revolving loan agreement during July 2015 and the shares of Time Warner Cable pledged as collateral to the revolving loan agreement were released.
