Item 8.01. Other Events
This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of General Communication, Inc. (“GCI”), dated April 4, 2017 (the “Original 8-K”), regarding its entry into an agreement with Liberty Interactive Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to which the Company would acquire GCI, combine GCI with the Company’s Liberty Ventures tracking stock group and effect a split-off of the Company’s interest in the combined company. On April 4, 2017, GCI made available on its website a slide show presentation regarding the transaction in connection with a call held with investors and filed a copy of the presentation as Exhibit 99.3 to the Original 8-K in compliance with Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The purpose of this amendment is to correct typographical errors on slides 11 and 20 from the slide show presentation and in the press release originally filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K in compliance with Rule 425 under the Securities Act. The revised slides are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.4 in compliance with Rule 425 under the Securities Act and are incorporated herein by reference. In the press release filed with the Original 8-K, the information in clause (iii) of the second sentence of the first paragraph on page 4 regarding the conditions to the transaction should read as follows: “(iii) approval by the majority of the outstanding voting power of GCI, together with the majority of each of the GCI Class A common stock and GCI Class B common stock”.
