Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) (Nasdaq:
LBRDA, LBRDK, LBRDP) announced today that it has priced and agreed
to sell to initial purchasers in an upsized private offering $800
million aggregate original principal amount of its 3.125%
exchangeable senior debentures due 2054 (the “Debentures”)
exchangeable for Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) Class A
common stock. Liberty Broadband has also granted the initial
purchasers an option to purchase additional Debentures in an
aggregate original principal amount of up to $120 million.
Upon an exchange of Debentures, Liberty Broadband, at its
option, may deliver shares of Charter Class A common stock or the
value thereof in cash or any combination of shares of Charter Class
A common stock and cash. Initially, 2.5442 shares of Charter Class
A common stock are attributable to each $1,000 original principal
amount of Debentures, representing an initial exchange price of
approximately $393.05 for each share of Charter Class A common
stock. A total of 2,035,360 shares of Charter Class A common stock
are attributable to the Debentures (assuming the initial purchasers
do not exercise their option to purchase additional Debentures).
Interest will be payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September
30 and December 31 of each year, commencing December 31, 2024. The
Debentures may be redeemed by Liberty Broadband, in whole or in
part, on or after December 15, 2028. Holders of Debentures also
have the right to require Liberty Broadband to purchase their
Debentures on December 15, 2028. The redemption and purchase price
will generally equal 100% of the adjusted principal amount of the
Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date,
plus any final period distribution.
The offering is expected to close on July 2, 2024, subject to
the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Liberty Broadband intends to use the net proceeds of the
offering to repay approximately $500 million of borrowings under
the margin loan agreement of Liberty Broadband’s indirect,
wholly-owned special purpose entity, repurchase a total of
approximately $300 million in aggregate principal amount of Liberty
Broadband’s 3.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2053 pursuant
to individually privately negotiated transactions and for general
corporate purposes.
The offering of the Debentures has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any
state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered
or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from,

of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The
Debentures are being offered by means of an offering memorandum
solely to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” pursuant to, and as that
term is defined in, Rule 144A of the Securities Act.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy the Debentures nor shall there be
any sale of Debentures in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of such state.
