Margin Loan Facility

​

On June 26, 2024, a bankruptcy remote wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SPV”) entered into Amendment No. 8 to Margin Loan Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), which amends SPV’s margin loan agreement, dated as of August 31, 2017 (as amended by the Eighth Amendment, the “Margin Loan Agreement”), with a group of lenders. The Margin Loan Agreement provides for (x) a term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.15 billion (the “Term Loan Facility” and proceeds of such facility, the “Term Loans”), (y) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.15 billion (the “Revolving Loan Facility” and proceeds of such facility, the “Revolving Loans”; the Revolving Loans, collectively with the Term Loans, the “Loans”) and (z) an uncommitted incremental term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million (collectively, the “Margin Loan Facility”). No additional borrowings under the Margin Loan Agreement were made in connection with the Eighth Amendment. SPV’s obligations under the Margin Loan Facility are secured by shares of Charter owned by SPV. The Eighth Amendment provided for, among other things, the extension of the scheduled maturity date to June 30, 2027.

Outstanding borrowings under the Margin Loan Agreement were $790 million as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025, SPV had borrowing capacity of $1,150 million under the Margin Loan Agreement with approximately $800 million available to be drawn, subject to certain funding conditions, which may be drawn until five business days prior to the maturity date. The maturity date of the loans under the Margin Loan Agreement is June 30, 2027. The borrowings under the Margin Loan Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a per annum spread of 1.875% (the “Base Spread”) (unless and until the replacement of such rate as provided for under the Margin

Loan Agreement). The Margin Loan Agreement also has a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Loans. The interest rates on the Margin Loan Facility were 5.5% and 6.2% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

​

The Margin Loan Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the activities of SPV (and, in some cases, the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to shares of Charter owned by the Company and its subsidiaries). The Margin Loan Agreement does not include any financial covenants. The Margin Loan Agreement does contain restrictions related to additional indebtedness and events of default customary for margin loans of this type.

SPV’s obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement are secured by first priority liens on a portion of the Company’s ownership interest in Charter, sufficient for SPV to meet the loan to value requirements under the Margin Loan Agreement. The Margin Loan Agreement indicates that no lender party shall have any voting rights with respect to the shares pledged as collateral, 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 agreement. As of December 31, 2025, 19.1 million shares of Charter common stock with a value of $4.0 billion were held in collateral accounts related to the Margin Loan Agreement.

Exchangeable Senior Debentures

On February 28, 2023, the Company closed a private offering of $1,265 million aggregate original principal amount of its 3.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053 (the “3.125% Debentures due 2053”), including debentures with an aggregate original principal amount of $165 million issued pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the initial purchasers. Upon an exchange of the 3.125% Debentures due 2053, the Company, at its election, may deliver shares of Charter Class A common stock, the value thereof in cash, or any combination of shares of Charter Class A common stock and cash. Initially, 1.8901 shares of Charter Class A common stock were attributable to each $1,000 original principal amount of 3.125% Debentures due 2053, representing an initial exchange price of approximately $529.07 for each share of Charter Class A common stock. A total of approximately 2.4 million shares of Charter Class A common stock were initially attributable to the 3.125% Debentures due 2053. Interest is payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2023. The 3.125% Debentures due 2053 may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, on or after April 6, 2026 or, in whole but not in part, prior to April 6, 2026 if such redemption is due to the execution by the Company of an agreement which, if consummated, would result in a change in control (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Merger Agreement). Holders of the 3.125% Debentures due 2053 also have the right to require the Company to purchase their 3.125% Debentures due 2053 on April 6, 2026. The redemption and purchase price will generally equal 100% of the adjusted principal amount of the 3.125% Debentures due 2053 plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, plus any final period distribution. As of December 31, 2025, a holder of the 3.125% Debentures due 2053 has the ability to exchange their debentures at any time after January 1, 2026 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding April 6, 2026 or put their debentures on April 6, 2026 and, accordingly, the 3.125% Debentures due 2053 have been classified as current within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

On July 2, 2024, the Company closed a private offering of $860 million aggregate original principal amount of its 3.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2054 (the “3.125% Debentures due 2054”), including debentures with an aggregate original principal amount of $60 million issued pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the initial purchasers. In connection with the closing of the private offering of the 3.125% Debentures due 2054, the Company repurchased a total of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.125% Debentures due 2053 pursuant to individually privately negotiated transactions. After the repurchase, approximately 1.8 million shares of Charter Class A common stock are attributable to the 3.125% Debentures due 2053.

In March 2025, at the request of Charter, Liberty Broadband called for redemption all of its 3.125% Debentures due 2054. Pursuant to a supplemental indenture entered into in March 2025, the Company delivered cash to satisfy its exchange obligations. The 3.125% Debentures due 2054 were either redeemed in April 2025 or exchanged in March 2025 (with such exchanges settled in May 2025). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid approximately $952 million to settle the 3.125% Debentures due 2054 using corporate cash, restricted cash and proceeds from the Margin Loan Facility.

The Company has elected to account for all of its exchangeable senior debentures at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See note 5 for information

related to unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value. The Company reviews the terms of all the debentures on a quarterly basis to determine whether an event has occurred to require current classification on the consolidated balance sheets.

Under the Merger Agreement, Liberty Broadband must call for redemption of its 3.125% Debentures due 2053 for cash within 10 business days of a request by Charter, subject to Liberty Broadband having sufficient liquidity to satisfy the applicable redemption and/or exchange obligation and certain other terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
