The compensation committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to compensation of our company’s executives.
In July 2025, the GCI Liberty Spin-Off was completed. In connection with the GCI Liberty Spin-Off, we entered into a services agreement, dated July 14, 2025, with Liberty Media (the services agreement), pursuant to which Liberty Media provides us with administrative, executive and management services.
The committee’s functions include, among other things:
•
Evaluate the services fee under the services agreement on at least an annual basis, subject to certain exceptions;
•
May approve incentive awards or other forms of compensation to employees of Liberty Media who are providing services to our company, which employees include our executive officers. For a discussion of equity awards granted during 2025, see “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis;”
•
If we engage a chief executive officer, chief accounting officer, principal financial officer, chief legal officer or chief administrative officer to perform services for our company outside the services agreement, review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of any such person;
•
Oversee the compensation of the chief executive officers of any non-public operating subsidiaries of our company; and

Prepare a report for our annual proxy statement.
