As discussed in note 2, in connection with the merger of Legacy Charter and TWC, Liberty exchanged, in a tax-free transaction, its shares of TWC common stock for shares of Charter Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, and Liberty has granted to Liberty Broadband a proxy and a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of Charter Class A common stock held by Liberty after the exchange.

On May 12, 2016, Interval completed an acquisition which was accomplished, in part, through the issuance of additional Interval shares. As a result of the share issuance, Liberty’s ownership interest in Interval was reduced from 28.7% to 12.8%. Prior to the transaction, Interval was accounted for as an equity method investment. As a result of the transaction, Liberty does not have ability to exercise significant influence. Accordingly, Interval is classified as available-for-sale and is carried at fair value. The Company recognized a dilution gain of $65 million related to Interval that is reflected in the Other, net line item in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.
|
During the year ended December 31, 2016, Liberty sold approximately 4 million shares of Time Warner common stock for proceeds of $343 million.
