ANNUAL REPORT 2021 5 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS April 2022 Dear Fellow Shareholders, The Liberty Media businesses are executing well, both operationally and financially. We navigated the impacts of COVID across a portfolio heavily exposed to live events and emerged arguably on more sound footing. As we said at last year’s Investor Day, there is no such thing as ‘life beyond COVID,’ but rather ‘life with enduring COVID’. The lessons learned, cost savings implemented and initiatives launched over the past two years will provide ongoing benefit to our businesses. There is much to be proud of in 2021. Some accomplishments to highlight: • Atlanta Braves won the World Series for the first time since 1995 • Formula 1 generated hundreds of millions of levered free cash flow despite COVID-related impacts, bringing year-end leverage to 4.4x • SiriusXM generated record revenue and EBITDA • Live Nation ended the year with a record pipeline of concerts, ticket sales and sponsorship commitments At Liberty, the success of our businesses is a reflection of the quality management teams we have in place, who are empowered to run their businesses with a high degree of autonomy and incentivized accordingly. To Stefano Domenicali, Jennifer Witz, Michael Rapino, Terry McGuirk and your teams—our success in 2021 is credit to your stewardship. FORMULA ONE GROUP Over the course of Liberty’s history, there are investments we have ‘bought well’—for example, our convertible loan to SiriusXM in 2009. Then, there are investments we have ‘built well’—there’s no better example than Formula 1 (“F1”). In 2022, we reached the five-year mark in our ownership of F1. F1 had a strong foundation built over its nearly 70-year history and we believed in its further potential. Our 2016 investor presentation outlined select initial opportunities: (i) increase promotion and marketing of F1 as a sport and brand, (ii) enhance distribution of content, especially in digital, (iii) establish a broader range of commercial partners, including sponsorship, (iv) evolve the race calendar, and (v) leverage Liberty’s expertise in live events and digital monetization. We are proud to say we have progressed across all, with more to come. F1’s US success in particular has been spectacular. US viewership at the 2022 season opener in Bahrain impressed us all with 56% year-over-year growth, becoming the most viewed race on ESPN since they reacquired the rights in 2018. One week later, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix quickly surpassed that record, bringing in 1.8 million peak viewers, the largest F1 audience on US cable since 1995. The excitement in the US market is rapidly gaining momentum. Drive to Survive is a clear factor in this increased attention. According to market surveys, 73% of US viewers are more interested in F1 as a result of watching the show. The fourth season reached #1 on Netflix in 33 countries during its debut weekend. Impressively, ‘Drive to Survive’ is now the moniker for an entirely new genre of unscripted sports content. We regularly see headlines for the next rumored series in production: the ‘Drive to Survive of’ PGA/IndyCar/Tour De France etc. There is far more to come for F1. We are early in the 2022 season as of writing this letter, yet already there is increased excitement on the track resulting from the sport’s new cars, rules and regulations. We have seen far closer racing, more podium diversity and intense battles from race start to finish. Our progress on the 2026 hybrid engine, which will run mainly on advanced sustainable fuels, is drawing the attention of new OEM participants. We recently announced that the Las Vegas Grand Prix will join the calendar as our third US race beginning November 2023, alongside the Miami Grand Prix and the US Grand Prix in Austin. We are confident this race will be a spectacle unlike any ever seen, drawing a unique global audience distinguishable from our other two US destinations. This is the first time that F1 has acted as promoter for a Grand Prix since Turkey 2011, and of course the first time under Liberty’s ownership. We carefully considered the risk-reward calculus in taking on the promoter role—Las Vegas is a unique market where we see huge economic potential. We look forward to working with our many partners on this project, including our friends at Live Nation. The F1 balance sheet is as strong as ever. We ended 2021 with leverage at 4.4x, a rapid decline from the COVID-related peak of 23x at the prior year-end, and we lowered our target leverage ratio to under 5.0x. We can optimally operate the business within this range, without limiting our flexibility on growth investments, capital returns or other uses of cash. 6 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Speaking of cash, we know there is a sizable balance at the Formula One Group corporate level. There is $250 million of corporate cash earmarked for the forward purchase agreement for our SPAC, Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation, with the potential to increase depending on the target. We intend to continue to opportunistically repurchase shares. We also intend to continue to make smaller investments where we see opportunity—like our investments in Clear or Meyer Shank Racing. Liberty entities have carried high cash balances for long periods of time at various points in our history. While it’s a separate company, recall that Liberty Ventures had nearly $3 billion of accumulated cash on the balance sheet in 2016 before the investment opportunity arose around the Charter-Time Warner Cable merger. We are constantly canvasing the market for the highest return and best uses of our cash. LIBERTY SIRIUSXM GROUP First and upfront, we will address the continued discount to NAV at Liberty SiriusXM Group. Over the past year, there were a number of corporate actions furthering the evolution of this group. We entered into a tax sharing agreement with SiriusXM, effected a tax-free exchange that took our ownership in SiriusXM over 80% thereby reaching tax consolidation, and received net proceeds of approximately $770 million from SiriusXM’s special cash dividend in early 2022. We would have expected that the NAV discount would compress in tandem with these actions; the reality is the discount has remained elevated and further widened recently. We have long discussed the various drivers of this discount—supply/demand dynamics of the underlying equities, premiums for dividend-paying stocks, technical dynamics, a tracking stock structural discount, to name a few. We don’t think any of these drivers have fundamentally changed, though we acknowledge there is perhaps (and understandably) greater investor fatigue today. Our long-term mindset and patient capital are core strengths of Liberty, but there are various levels of ‘patience’, and we appreciate our shareholders have been patient as well. We are keenly aware of the discount and will continue to prioritize corporate actions that we believe will benefit our shareholders and create long-term value. We are also mindful of our balance sheet, upcoming liability maturities, and the constraints of our own equity’s liquidity in the market. There are multiple paths to capture the discount that management and our board regularly evaluate. This includes the continued repurchase of our discounted equity, made even more compelling with tax-free cash flows from SiriusXM, and what we believe is the natural evolution of this company with a consolidation of Liberty SiriusXM and SiriusXM. The ultimate path we choose is not yet determined. As for the SiriusXM business, 2021 was a solid year. They exceeded one million self-pay net adds for the 10th time in the past 11 years, reaching a record high sub count of 32 million. New vehicle penetration reached 82% as of year-end, and 360L was incorporated in over 25% of SiriusXM-equipped vehicles sold in the fourth quarter. In January we were thrilled to welcome Joe Inzerillo as SiriusXM’s new Chief Product & Technology Officer. Joe was a key architect in the creation of Disney+ and other direct-to-consumer video streaming businesses, as well as a founder of BAMTech Media. The development of SiriusXM’s digital strategy is key to its future success. And finally, Live Nation handled the challenges of COVID exceptionally well and exited 2021 with more tailwinds benefiting the live entertainment space than at any time in its history. We are now entering not only what promises to be a record year in 2022, but likely the strongest multi-year period ever in the concert industry. BRAVES GROUP Congrats to the World Series Champion Atlanta Braves! After exiting the All-Star break with a record below 0.500, the Braves made a series of excellent trades and the team performed brilliantly in the back half of the season. Our General Manager Alex Anthopoulos has built a team with longevity in mind, organized around young talent that is expected to play for the Braves for years to come—both on the roster and in the farm system. The team balances this by bringing in tenured players to fill key gaps, importantly not impeding the advancement of young talent. Data-based decisions are designed to maximize each player’s contribution both on the field and in the clubhouse. This strategy led us to sign Atlanta-native Matt Olson to an 8-year contract earlier this year and bolster our bullpen with the additions of Kenley Jansen and Collin McHugh. We are very optimistic about our roster for the upcoming season. On the heels of last year’s victory, the Braves are entering the 2022 season with the highest season ticket count in decades. For the first time ever, all premium seats have sold out. The Battery Atlanta’s second phase of development is nearing completion, with the final buildouts primarily on our office space finishing this year. We expect the Battery to generate consolidated stabilized net operating income north of $30 million once complete. Later in 2022, we will begin construction on a new 250,000 square foot office building that will be home to Truist Securities relocated national headquarters under a 15-year lease. This marks the fourth Fortune 500 company to establish a global or business unit headquarters at The Battery Atlanta. ANNUAL REPORT 2021 7 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Sports teams continue to be scarce, desirable, marquee assets. Several teams have come up for sale recently (granted outside of Major League Baseball) and have been met with incredible demand, attracting interest from a wide set of institutional players in addition to high net worth individuals who have historically been the buyer base. More demand is a good thing. LOOKING AHEAD The markets have proven just as volatile thus far in 2022 as the past few years. We remain focused on the long-term performance of our equities and the underlying operations of our businesses. Liberty Media has been in its current tracking stock construct since 2016, and it is worth restating our objectives behind this structure. We believe tracking stocks provide value to our shareholders by (i) offering greater investor choice, (ii) leveraging management capabilities, (iii) facilitating capital structure flexibility, (iv) allowing for tax consolidation, (v) providing greater access to capital markets, and (vi) creating tailored equities for strategic opportunities and management compensation. We have a long history with tracking stocks across the Liberty family. They have typically been transitory vehicles—though the individual tracker lifetimes have varied. We are constantly evaluating the optimal structure for Liberty Media and our portfolio companies. We look forward to seeing many of you at this year’s Investor Day on November 17th. Whether in person in New York or online, we hope you will join us. Until then, we hope you all stay safe and healthy. We appreciate your ongoing support. Very truly yours, Gregory B.

Please read the entire proxy statement carefully before voting. What’s new with this year’s proxy statement? • 2021 Year in Review • Voting Roadmap on pages 3-4 • Environmental, Social and Governance Highlights on pages 5-7 • Additional information about our board of directors, including a look at our board members’ skills and experience on pages 15-24 ABOUT OUR COMPANY Liberty Media Corporation owns interests in a high-quality portfolio of assets across the media, communications and entertainment industries. Our interests are attributed to three tracking stocks: the Liberty SiriusXM Group, the Liberty Formula One Group, and the Liberty Braves Group. A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or “track” the economic performance of a particular business or “group,” rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group and Liberty Formula One Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Our three tracking stocks represent the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to each respective group.

Our Defining Attributes FORWARD-LOOKING NIMBLE We take advantage of the benefits and minimize the risks associated with the digital transition in the industries in which we invest. We structure our team to allow us to move quickly when opportunities arise, and we can be creative in our deal structures. FINANCIALLY SOPHISTICATED LONG-TERM FOCUSED We have experience in mergers, divestitures, investing, capital deployment, credit analysis and setting capital structures. We take a long-term, strategic view in our various operating businesses and are less concerned with short-term bouts of volatility. We think like owners and are focused on long-term gains rather than short-term results. The compensation structure of our management team is closely tied to the long-term performance of our stock. Our executive leadership team has a significant portion of its respective net worth tied to Liberty Media.

Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of a quorum at the meeting. For purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the meeting even if you indicate on your proxy that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular proposal or proposals, or if those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares (broker non-votes) will nevertheless be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

VOTES REQUIRED Each director nominee who receives a plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, will be elected to office. Approval of each of the auditors ratification proposal and the incentive plan proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class. Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of each required vote.

VOTING PROCEDURES FOR RECORD HOLDERS Holders of record of LSXMA, LSXMB, BATRA, BATRB, FWONA and FWONB as of the record date may vote via the Internet at the annual meeting or prior to the annual meeting by telephone or through the Internet. Alternatively, if they received a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail. Holders of record may vote their shares electronically during the meeting via the Internet by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LMC2022. To enter the annual meeting, holders will need the 16-digit control number that is printed on their Notice or proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the meeting to ensure that they are logged in when the meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the meeting on June 14, 2022. Instructions for voting prior to the annual meeting by using the Internet are printed on the Notice or the proxy voting instructions attached to the proxy card. In order to vote prior to the annual meeting through the Internet, holders should have their Notices or proxy cards available so they can input the required information from the Notice or proxy card, and log onto the Internet website address shown on the Notice or proxy card. When holders log onto the Internet website address, they will receive instructions on how to vote their shares. Unless subsequently revoked, shares of our common stock represented by a proxy submitted as described herein and received at or before the annual meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. It is recommended that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You may change your vote at the annual meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy without indicating any voting instructions as to a proposal enumerated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted “FOR” the election of each director nominee and “FOR” each of the auditors ratification proposal and the incentive plan proposal. If you submit a proxy indicating that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect on the election of directors proposal and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” each of the other proposals. If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum, and your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether any of the proposals are approved (if a quorum is present). VOTING PROCEDURES FOR SHARES HELD IN STREET NAME GENERAL If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee when voting your shares or to grant or revoke a proxy. The rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees from voting shares on behalf of their clients without specific instructions from their clients with respect to numerous matters, including, in our case, the election of directors proposal and the incentive plan proposal. Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on these matters, we encourage you to provide promptly specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. EFFECT OF BROKER NON-VOTES Broker non-votes are counted as shares of our common stock present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum but will have no effect on any of the proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of LSXMA, BATRA, FWONA, LSXMB, BATRB or FWONB or how to change your vote or revoke your proxy. 1 2 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT THE ANNUAL ME ET IN G REVOKING A PROXY If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the annual meeting, you may change your vote by attending the annual meeting online and voting via the Internet at the annual meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Any signed proxy revocation or later-dated proxy must be received before the start of the annual meeting. In addition, you may change your vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 13, 2022 for shares held directly. Your attendance at the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you. If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy. SOLICITATION OF PROXIES We are soliciting proxies by means of our proxy materials on behalf of our board of directors.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Robert R. Bennett, Derek Chang, Brian M. Deevy, M. Ian G. Gilchrist, Larry E. Romrell and Andrea L. Wong qualifies as an independent director of our company. Our board of directors also determined that David E. Rapley, who resigned from our board of directors effective April 4, 2022, also qualified as an independent director of our company during his service on our board. BOARD COMPOSITION As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our board is comprised of directors with a broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in media and telecommunications, science and technology, venture capital, investment banking, auditing and financial engineering. Our board is also chronologically diverse with our members’ ages spanning four decades. For more information on our policies with respect to board candidates, see “—Board Criteria and Director Candidates” below. BOARD CLASSIFICATION As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our board of directors currently consists of nine directors, divided among three classes. Our board believes that its current classified structure, with directors serving for three-year terms, is the appropriate board structure for our company at this time and is in the best interests of our stockholders for the following reasons. LONG-TERM FOCUS & ACCOUNTABILITY Our board believes that a classified board encourages our directors to look to the long-term best interest of our company and our stockholders, rather than being unduly influenced by the short-term focus of certain investors and special interests. In addition, our board believes that three-year terms focus director accountability on the board’s long-term strategic vision and performance, rather than short-term pressures and circumstances. CONTINUITY OF BOARD LEADERSHIP A classified board allows for a greater amount of stability and continuity providing institutional perspective and knowledge to both management and less-tenured directors. By its very nature, a classified board ensures that at any given time there will be experienced directors serving on our board who are fully immersed in and knowledgeable about our businesses, including our relationships with current and potential strategic partners, as well as the competition, opportunities, risks and challenges that exist in the industries in which our businesses operate. We also believe the benefit of a classified board to our company and our stockholders comes not from continuity alone but rather from the continuity of highly qualified, engaged and knowledgeable directors focused on long-term stockholder interests. Each year, our nominating and corporate governance committee works actively to ensure our board continues to be comprised of such individuals. LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 25 CO R PORATE GOV E RNAN CE BOARD DIVERSITY Our board understands and appreciates the value and enrichment provided by a diverse board. As such, we actively seek diverse director candidates (see “—Board Criteria and Director Candidates”).

John C. Malone, one of our largest stockholders, holds the position of Chairman of the Board, leads our board and board meetings and provides strategic guidance to our Chief Executive Officer. Gregory B. Maffei, our President, holds the position of Chief Executive Officer, leads our management team and is responsible for driving the performance of our company. We believe this division of responsibility effectively assists our board in fulfilling its duties. BOARD ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT The board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks and risks relating to potential conflicts of interest. Our compensation committee oversees the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements with senior officers. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the nomination of individuals with the judgment, skills, integrity, and independence necessary to oversee the key risks associated with our company, as well as risks inherent in our corporate structure. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full board. In addition, the oversight and review of other strategic risks are conducted directly by the full board. The oversight responsibility of the board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, cybersecurity and other risks, including those related to material environmental and social matters such as climate change, human capital management, diversity, equity and inclusion, and community relations (together with governance concerns, ESG). Our management reporting processes include regular reports from our Chief Executive Officer, which are prepared with input from our senior management team, and also include input from our Internal Audit group and our Chief Portfolio Officer, who manages our company’s ESG efforts and remains in regular contact with senior ESG leaders across our portfolio of companies who provide feedback and disclosure on material issues. This is further supported by a company-level Corporate Responsibility Committee, which has cross-functional representation across all reaches of our 2 6 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT CO RPO RATE GOV E RNAN CE leadership. With our board’s oversight, we seek to collaborate across our portfolio of companies to drive best practices through regular ESG-focused internal meetings and discussions, including on topics such as ESG disclosure, diversity and inclusion, cybersecurity, and sustainability. CODE OF ETHICS We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and employees of Liberty Media, which constitutes our “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.libertymedia.com. FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS; LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption, other than Evan D. Malone, who is the son of John C. Malone. During the past ten years, none of our directors and executive officers has had any involvement in such legal proceedings as would be material to an evaluation of his or her ability or integrity. COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Our board of directors has four standing committees: audit, compensation, executive and nominating and corporate governance. The key responsibilities and focus areas of each committee, as well as their current members and information on number of meetings during 2021 are set forth below. The written charters for the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees as adopted by each such committee, as well as our corporate governance guidelines (which were developed by our nominating and corporate governance committee), can be found on our website at www.libertymedia.com. Our board of directors, by resolution, may from time to time establish other committees of our board of directors, consisting of one or more of our directors. Any committee so established will have the powers delegated to it by resolution of our board of directors, subject to applicable law. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of each of the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees are independent. See “—Director Independence.” AUDIT COMMITTEE OVERVIEW 6 meetings in 2021 Chair Brian M. Deevy Other Members Derek Chang* Larry Romrell Former Members M. Ian G.

Ian G. Gilchrist Andrea L. Wong Former Members David E. Rapley (prior to April 2022) Larry E.

BOARD CRITERIA AND DIRECTOR CANDIDATES BOARD CRITERIA. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that nominees for director should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the long-term interests of our stockholders. To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. As described in our corporate governance guidelines, director candidates are identified and nominated based on broad criteria, with the objective of identifying and retaining directors that can effectively develop the company’s strategy and oversee management’s execution of that strategy. In the director candidate identification and nomination 2 8 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT CO RPO RATE GOV E RNAN CE process, our board seeks a breadth of experience from a variety of industries and from professional disciplines, along with a diversity of gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one recommended by a stockholder, the nominating and corporate governance committee will take into account a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: • independence from management; • his or her unique background, including education, professional experience, relevant skill sets and diversity of gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics; • judgment, skill, integrity and reputation; • existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner; • personal conflicts of interest, if any; and • the size and composition of the existing board of directors, including whether the potential director nominee would positively impact the composition of the board by bringing a new perspective or viewpoint to the board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. OUTSIDE COMMITMENTS. In recent years, some investors and proxy advisors have instituted “bright-line” proxy voting policies on the number of outside public company boards that a director may serve on. Our board of directors recognizes investors’ concerns that highly sought-after directors could lack the time and attention to adequately perform their duties and responsibilities, and considers each director’s performance and commitment to ensure their continued effectiveness as a director. Given our company’s ownership interests in other public companies, our company and our board values the positions our directors and members of management hold on the boards of these entities, as they provide our company with unique insight and input into those businesses and their operations. The nominating and corporate governance committee also recognizes and values the benefits derived by our directors from their service on other public company boards, as such service provides our directors with diverse perspectives, in-depth industry knowledge and cross-industry insights, all of which enhance the knowledge base and skill set of our board as a whole. Our board also recognizes the uniqueness of the relationships among Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor, including the collaborative approach to addressing ESG, as well as with the portfolio of assets within each of these public companies. To the extent our directors serve on more than one of the boards of these companies, we believe that such service is an important aspect of our directors’ (including Messrs. Malone and Maffei) service, as it capitalizes on various synergies between and among these boards. For this reason, we believe that a better presentation of these directors’ outside commitments is to consider the number of their “non-Liberty” public company board directorships (see “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal—Our Board at a Glance”). Based on this perspective, we have considered the facts-and-circumstances of the roles of our directors with our company, including the following considerations: • from a historical perspective, the significant time and resources each of these directors has regularly dedicated to our company; • the nature of their board commitments relating to their respective roles with these companies; • the synergies between their respective service on these other boards and ours; • their respective service on “non-Liberty” public company board directorships; and • the respective directors’ personal skills, expertise and qualifications (including the broad industry knowledge of each such director). We believe that the outside service of our directors does not conflict with, and instead enhances, their respective roles and responsibilities at our company. DIRECTOR CANDIDATE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS. The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder provided that such recommendations are properly submitted. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination as a director should send the recommendation in writing to the Corporate Secretary, Liberty Media Corporation, 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 29 CO R PORATE GOV E RNAN CE Colorado 80112. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed under “The Annual Meeting—Stockholder Proposals” above, and contain the following information: • the name and address of the proposing stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, and documentation indicating the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially and of record by such person and the holder or holders of record of those shares, together with a statement that the proposing stockholder is recommending a candidate for nomination as a director; • the candidate’s name, age, business and residence addresses, principal occupation or employment, business experience, educational background and any other information relevant in light of the factors considered by the nominating and corporate governance committee in making a determination of a candidate’s qualifications, as described below; • a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding between the proposing stockholder and/or beneficial owner(s), if different, and any other person(s) (including their names) under which the proposing stockholder is making the nomination and any affiliates or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such proposing stockholder(s) or beneficial owner (each a Proposing Person); • a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding that might affect the independence of the candidate as a member of our board of directors; • any other information that would be required under SEC rules in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate as a director; • a representation as to whether the Proposing Person intends (or is part of a group that intends) to deliver any proxy materials or otherwise solicit proxies in support of the director nominee; • a representation by each Proposing Person who is a holder of record of our common stock as to whether the notice is being given on behalf of the holder of record and/or one or more beneficial owners, the number of shares held by any beneficial owner along with evidence of such beneficial ownership and that such holder of record is entitled to vote at the annual stockholders meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual stockholders meeting at which the person named in such notice is to stand for election; • a written consent of the candidate to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director, if nominated and elected; • a representation as to whether the Proposing Person has received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from any other person regarding the nomination (a Stockholder Associated Person) (including the details of such assistance, funding or consideration); and • a representation as to whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transaction has been entered into with respect to our company within the last six months by, or is in effect with respect to, the Proposing Person, any person to be nominated by the proposing stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which transaction is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, the Proposing Person, its nominee, or any such Stockholder Associated Person. In connection with its evaluation, the nominating and corporate governance committee may request additional information from the proposing stockholder and the candidate. The nominating and corporate governance committee has sole discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors. When seeking candidates for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also ask the candidate to meet with management. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to our board of directors, it may recommend to the full board that candidate’s nomination and election. Prior to nominating an incumbent director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the director’s past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the board of directors and its committees and the director’s formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted by the board and the board committees of which such individual is a member. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider any outside directorships held by such individual. See “—Outside Commitments” above. 3 0 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT CO RPO RATE GOV E RNAN CE BOARD MEETINGS During 2021, there were 5 meetings of our full board of directors.

For service on our board in 2022 and 2021, each director was permitted to elect to receive $124,000 and $121,500, respectively, of his or her director fee in RSUs or options, or a combination of both, to purchase shares of LSXMK, BATRK and FWONK. The awards issued to our board of directors with respect to service on our board in 2022 were issued in December 2021. See “—Director RSU Grants” and “—Director Option Grants” below for information on the incentive awards granted in 2021. Fees for service on our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee are the same for 2022 and 2021, with each member thereof receiving an additional annual fee of $30,000, $10,000 and $10,000, respectively, for his or her participation on each such committee, except that the chairperson of each such committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $40,000, $20,000 and $20,000, respectively, for his or her participation on that committee. With respect to our executive committee, each member thereof who is not an employee of our company receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for his or her participation on that committee. The cash portion of the director fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears. CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS If a director makes a donation to our political action committee, we will make a matching donation to a charity of his or her choice in an amount not to exceed $10,000. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN Awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the Liberty Media Corporation 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2017 incentive plan), are administered by our board of directors or our compensation committee. Our board of directors has full power and authority to grant nonemployee directors the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The 2017 incentive plan is designed to provide our nonemployee directors with additional remuneration for services rendered, to encourage their investment in our common stock and to aid in attracting persons of exceptional ability to become nonemployee directors of our company. Our board of directors may grant non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, RSUs and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2017 incentive plan. The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2017 incentive plan is 50 million shares, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2017 incentive plan. No nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) that would be in excess of $2 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2017 incentive plan will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or shares of our common stock that we have issued but reacquired, including shares purchased in the open market. If the 2022 Liberty Media Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan is approved, it will be the only incentive plan under which awards will be made, and no additional awards will be made in the 2017 incentive plan. As described below, in 2013, our company’s board of directors adopted the TSAP (as defined below), which governs the terms and conditions of awards with respect to our common stock issued in connection with adjustments made to awards relating to our predecessor’s common stock that were granted prior to 2013. 3 2 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT DIRECTOR RSU GRANTS Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the 2017 incentive plan, we granted the following RSU awards in December 2021: DIR ECTO R CO M PE NS ATI ON Name Robert R.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES Our board of directors has adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally require each nonemployee director to own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of their annual cash retainer fees. Nonemployee directors have five years from the director’s initial appointment to our board to comply with these guidelines. DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN Effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, directors of our company are eligible to participate in the Liberty Media Corporation Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the director deferred compensation plan), pursuant to which eligible directors of our company can elect to defer all or any portion of their annual cash fees that they would otherwise be entitled to receive. The deferral of such annual cash fees shall be effected by a reduction in the quarterly payment of such annual cash fees by the percentage specified in the director’s election. Elections are required to be made in advance of certain deadlines, which generally must be on or before the close of business on December 31 of the year prior to the year to which the director’s election will apply, and elections must include the form of distribution, such as a lump- sum payment or substantially equal installments over a period not to exceed ten years. Compensation deferred under the director deferred compensation plan that otherwise would have been received prior to 2015 would earn interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, for the period of the deferral. Compensation deferred under the director deferred compensation plan that otherwise would have been received on or after January 1, 2015 will earn interest income at a rate that is intended to approximate our company’s general cost of 10-year debt. For 2019, 2020 and 2021, the rate was 7.0%, 6.75% and 6.5% respectively.

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the audit committee of our board of directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if our audit committee determines that such a change would be advisable. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our audit committee will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the year ending December 31, 2022. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be available to answer appropriate questions at the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the auditors ratification proposal. OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal because KPMG LLP is an independent firm with few ancillary services and reasonable fees, and has significant industry and financial reporting expertise. AUDIT FEES AND ALL OTHER FEES The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for 2021 and 2020 and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP.

Sirius XM is a separate public company and its audit fees, audit related fees, tax fees and all other fees (which aggregated $5,032,000 in 2021 and $4,329,000 in 2020) are reviewed and approved by the audit committee of the board of directors of Sirius XM. (2) Tax fees consist of tax compliance and consultations regarding the tax implications of certain transactions. 3 6 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT PRO PO SAL 2 – THE AU DITOR S RATI FI CATI ON P ROP O SA L Our audit committee has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG LLP to our company other than auditing is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence and believes that the provision of such other services is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence. POLICY ON PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as pre-approved services): • audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services associated with registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed or issued in connection with securities offerings (including comfort letters and consents), (iii) attestations of management reports on our internal controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions; • audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial statement audits of employee benefit plans, (iii) consultations with management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions, (iv) attest services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of our consolidated financial statements, (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions, and (vii) general assistance with implementation of the requirements of certain SEC rules or listing standards; and • tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and review services, expatriate tax assistance and compliance and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if, in the reasonable judgment of our Chief Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer, an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is likely to result in fees in excess of $100,000, or if individual projects under $100,000 are likely to equal or exceed $500,000 during the period between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee. Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Brian M. Deevy currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditor is required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of our audit committee. Under our policy, any fees incurred by Sirius XM in connection with the provision of services by Sirius XM’s independent auditor, are expected to be reviewed and approved by Sirius XM’s audit committee pursuant to Sirius XM’s policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by its independent auditor in effect at the time of such approval. Such approval by Sirius XM’s audit committee pursuant to its policy is deemed to be pre-approval of the services by our audit committee. Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. All services provided by our independent auditor during 2021 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy in place.

Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC’s independence requirements for members of audit committees. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Chang is an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our board of directors. Management has primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and for the public reporting process. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent auditor also expresses its opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated financial statements, as well as management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and KPMG LLP’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our audit committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) and the SEC, including that firm’s judgment about the quality of our accounting principles, as applied in its financial reporting. KPMG LLP has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG LLP that firm’s independence from the company and its subsidiaries. Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 2021 Form 10-K.

Romrell 3 8 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT PRO PO SAL 3 – THE INCE NTI VE PLAN P ROP OS A L Proposal 3 – The Incentive Plan Proposal What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote? We are asking our stockholders to adopt the Liberty Media Corporation 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Below is a description of the material provisions of the Liberty Media Corporation 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2022 incentive plan). The summary that follows is not intended to be complete, and we refer you to the copy of the 2022 incentive plan set forth as Annex A to this proxy statement for a complete statement of its terms and provisions. VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the incentive plan proposal. OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal because we believe our future success depends on our ability to attract, motivate and retain high quality officers, employees, independent contractors and directors and having the ability to provide incentive-based compensation awards is critical to that success. Our compensation philosophy seeks to align the interests of our officers, employees, independent contractors and directors with those of our stockholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating our executives to increase long-term stockholder value. KEY FEATURES OF THE 2022 INCENTIVE PLAN Our incentive compensation practices are intended to be competitive and consistent with market practices, and we believe our historical share usage has been responsible and mindful of stockholder interests. To that end, below are several key features of the 2022 incentive plan that we believe strike the appropriate balance between these two considerations: • No Discounted Options or SARs. Stock options and SARs may not be granted with an exercise price below fair market value. • Dividend Equivalents. Only an award of RSUs may include dividend equivalents. With respect to a performance- based award, dividend equivalents may only be paid to the extent the underlying award is actually paid. • Limited Terms for Options and SARs. The term for stock options and SARs granted under the 2022 incentive plan is limited to ten years. • No Transferability. Awards generally may not be transferred, except as permitted by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless otherwise provided for in an award agreement. • No Tax Gross-Ups. Holders do not receive tax gross-ups under the 2022 incentive plan. • Award Limitations. In any calendar year, no nonemployee director may be granted awards having a value that would be in excess of $1 million on the date of grant. LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 39 PRO POSAL 3 – T H E I NC ENT IVE PL AN P RO P O SA L LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION 2022 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN If the 2022 incentive plan is approved, it will be the only incentive plan under which awards will be made, and no additional awards will be made under the 2017 incentive plan. In addition, only the 20 million shares reserved under the 2022 incentive plan (plus any shares remaining, or that again become, available for awards under the 2017 incentive plan as of the effective date of the 2022 incentive plan, as described below) will be available for grant. The 2022 incentive plan is structured as an omnibus plan under which awards may be made to our company’s officers, employees, independent contractors and nonemployee directors. A summary of certain terms of the 2022 incentive plan is set forth below. The 2022 incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors, other than awards granted to nonemployee directors which may be administered by our full board of directors or the compensation committee. The 2022 incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. The 2022 incentive plan is also intended to (1) attract persons of exceptional ability to become our officers and employees, and (2) induce nonemployee directors and independent contractors to provide services to us. Such persons will be eligible to participate in and may be granted awards under the 2022 incentive plan. The number of individuals who will receive awards under the 2022 incentive plan will vary from year to year and will depend on various factors, such as the number of promotions and our hiring needs during the year, and whether employees, nonemployee directors or independent contractors of our subsidiaries are granted awards. Although we cannot predict the number of future award recipients, we estimate that there will be approximately 7 nonemployee directors of our company and approximately 140 employees of our company and our subsidiaries who will be eligible to receive awards under the 2022 incentive plan. We do not currently anticipate granting any awards under the 2022 incentive plan to independent contractors of our company. For the avoidance of doubt, employees and nonemployee directors of any of our affiliates may not participate in the 2022 incentive plan based solely upon their status at any such affiliate and instead, are required to provide services to our company or our company’s subsidiaries in order to be eligible. Under the 2022 incentive plan, the compensation committee may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing (as used in this description of the 2022 incentive plan, collectively, awards). The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2022 incentive plan is 20 million shares plus any shares remaining, or that again become, available for awards under the 2017 incentive plan as of the effective date of the 2022 incentive plan, subject to anti- dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2022 incentive plan. The maximum number of shares that remain available under the 2017 incentive plan, as of April 25, 2022, is 28,696,582 shares. No nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) that would be in excess of $1 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2022 incentive plan will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or shares of our common stock that we have issued but reacquired, including shares purchased in the open market. Shares of our common stock that are subject to (i) any award granted under the 2022 incentive plan or the 2017 incentive plan that expires, terminates or is cancelled or annulled for any reason without having been exercised, (ii) any award of any SARs granted under the 2022 incentive plan or the 2017 incentive plan the terms of which provide for settlement in cash, and (iii) any award of restricted shares or RSUs granted under the 2022 incentive plan or the 2017 incentive plan that shall be forfeited prior to becoming vested, will once again be available for issuance under the 2022 incentive plan. Shares of our common stock that are (a) not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding option or SAR, (b) used to pay the purchase price or withholding taxes relating to an outstanding award, or (c) repurchased in the open market with the proceeds of an option purchase price will not again be made available for issuance under the 2022 incentive plan. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 incentive plan, the compensation committee is authorized to establish, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the 2022 incentive plan and to take such other action in connection with or in relation to the 2022 incentive plan as it deems necessary or advisable. Unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee and expressly provided for in an agreement, awards are not transferrable except as permitted by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. Stock Options. Non-qualified stock options awarded under the 2022 incentive plan will entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of a series of our common stock at a specified exercise price subject to the terms and 4 0 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT PRO PO SAL 3 – THE INCE NTI VE PLAN P ROP OS A L conditions of the applicable option grant. The exercise price of an option awarded under the 2022 incentive plan may be no less than the fair market value of the shares of the applicable series of our common stock as of the day the option is granted. The term of an option may not exceed ten years; however, if the term of an option expires when trading in our common stock is prohibited by law or our company’s policy, the option will expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition. The compensation committee will determine, and each individual award agreement will provide, (1) the series and number of shares of our common stock subject to the option, (2) the per share exercise price, (3) whether that price is payable in cash, by check, by promissory note, in whole shares of any series of our common stock, by the withholding of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the option, by cashless exercise, or any combination of the foregoing, (4) other terms and conditions of exercise, (5) restrictions on transfer of the option and (6) other provisions not inconsistent with the 2022 incentive plan. Dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any stock options. Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR awarded under the 2022 incentive plan entitles the recipient to receive a payment in stock or cash equal to the excess of the fair market value (on the day the SAR is exercised) of a share of the applicable series of our common stock with respect to which the SAR was granted over the base price specified in the grant. A SAR may be granted to an option holder with respect to all or a portion of the shares of our common stock subject to a related stock option (a tandem SAR) or granted separately to an eligible person (a free standing SAR). Tandem SARs are exercisable only at the time and to the extent that the related stock option is exercisable. Upon the exercise or termination of the related stock option, the related tandem SAR will be automatically cancelled to the extent of the number of shares of our common stock with respect to which the related stock option was so exercised or terminated. The base price of a tandem SAR is equal to the exercise price of the related stock option. Free standing SARs are exercisable at the time and upon the terms and conditions provided in the relevant award agreement. The term of a free standing SAR may not exceed ten years; however, if the term of a free standing SAR expires when trading in our common stock is prohibited by law or our company’s policy, the free standing SAR will expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition. The base price of a free standing SAR may be no less than the fair market value of a share of the applicable series of our common stock as of the day the SAR is granted. Dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any SARs. Restricted Shares and RSUs. Restricted shares are shares of our common stock that become vested and may be transferred upon completion of the restriction period. The compensation committee will determine, and each individual award agreement will provide, (1) the price, if any, to be paid by the recipient of the restricted shares, (2) whether dividends or distributions paid with respect to restricted shares will be retained by us during the restriction period (retained distributions), (3) whether the holder of the restricted shares may be paid a cash amount any time after the shares become vested, (4) the vesting date or vesting dates (or basis of determining the same) for the award and (5) other terms and conditions of the award. The holder of an award of restricted shares, as the registered owner of such shares, may vote the shares. A RSU is a unit evidencing the right to receive, in specified circumstances, one share of the specified series of our common stock, or, in the discretion of the company, its cash equivalent, subject to a restriction period or forfeiture conditions. The compensation committee will be authorized to award RSUs based upon the fair market value of shares of any series of our common stock under the 2022 incentive plan. The compensation committee will determine, and each individual award agreement will provide, the terms, conditions, restrictions, vesting requirements and payment rules for awards of RSUs, including whether the holder will be entitled to dividend equivalent payments with respect to the RSUs. RSUs will be issued at the beginning of the restriction period and holders will not be entitled to shares of our common stock covered by RSU awards until such shares are issued to the holder at the end of the restriction period. Awards of RSUs or the common stock covered thereunder may not be transferred, assigned or encumbered prior to the date on which such shares are issued or as provided in the relevant award agreement. Upon the applicable vesting date, all or the applicable portion of restricted shares or RSUs will vest, any retained distributions or unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted shares or RSUs will vest to the extent that the awards related thereto have vested, and any cash amount to be received by the holder with respect to the restricted shares or RSUs will become payable, all in accordance with the terms of the individual award agreement. The compensation committee may permit a holder to elect to defer delivery of any restricted shares or RSUs that become vested and any related cash payments, retained distributions or dividend equivalents, provided that such deferral elections are made in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Cash Awards.The compensation committee will also be authorized to provide for the grant of cash awards under the 2022 incentive plan. A cash award is a bonus paid in cash subject to the terms, conditions and limitations established by the compensation committee. LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 41 PRO POSAL 3 – T H E I NC ENT IVE PL AN P RO P O SA L Performance Awards. At the discretion of the compensation committee, any of the above-described awards may be designated as a performance award. Performance awards are contingent upon performance measures applicable to a particular period, as established by the compensation committee and set forth in individual agreements. Awards Generally. Awards under the 2022 incentive plan may be granted either individually, in tandem or in combination with each other. Where applicable, the securities underlying, or relating to, awards granted under the 2022 incentive plan may be shares of our common stock as provided in the relevant grant. The closing prices of LSXMA, LSXMK, BATRA, BATRK, FWONA and FWONK shares were $44.49, $44.43, $27.68, $26.45, $63.15 and $69.35, respectively, as of April 21, 2022. The closing price of LSXMB shares was $44.59 on April 18, 2022. The closing price of BATRB shares was $28.61 on March 30, 2022. The closing price of FWONB shares was $65.09 on April 14, 2022. Under certain conditions, including the occurrence of certain approved transactions, a board change or a control purchase (all as defined in the 2022 incentive plan), options and SARs will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions on restricted shares and RSUs will lapse, unless individual agreements state otherwise or the compensation committee determines in connection with an approved transaction that the vesting and exercisability of awards will not accelerate because action has been taken to provide for a substantially equivalent substitute award. At the time an award is granted, the compensation committee will determine, and the relevant agreement will provide for, any vesting or early termination, upon a holder’s termination of employment or service with our company, of any unvested options, SARs, RSUs or restricted shares and the period during which any vested options and SARs must be exercised. Generally, if a holder’s employment or service terminates prior to an option or SAR becoming exercisable or being exercised in full, or during the restriction period with respect to any restricted shares or RSUs, such options and SARs will become exercisable, and the restrictions on restricted shares and RSUs will lapse and become vested only to the extent provided in the applicable award agreement; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided in the relevant agreement, (1) no option or SAR may be exercised after its scheduled expiration date (however, if the term of an option or SAR expires when trading in our common stock is prohibited by law or our company’s insider trading policy, then the term of such option or SAR shall expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition), (2) if the holder’s service terminates by reason of death or disability (as defined in the 2022 incentive plan), his or her options or SARs shall remain exercisable for a period of at least one year following such termination (but not later than the scheduled expiration date) and (3) any termination of the holder’s service for “cause” (as defined in the 2022 incentive plan) will result in the immediate termination of all options and SARs and the forfeiture of all rights to any restricted shares, RSUs, retained distributions, unpaid dividend equivalents and related cash amounts held by such terminated holder. If a holder’s employment or service terminates due to death or disability, options and SARs will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions on restricted shares and RSUs will lapse and become fully vested, unless individual agreements state otherwise. The effect on a cash award of the termination of a holder’s employment or service for any reason, other than for “cause” (as defined in the 2022 incentive plan), will be stated in the individual agreement. Adjustments.The number and kind of shares of our common stock that may be awarded or otherwise made subject to awards under the 2022 incentive plan, the number and kind of shares of our common stock covered by outstanding awards and the purchase or exercise price and any relevant appreciation base with respect to any of the foregoing will be subject to appropriate adjustment as the compensation committee deems equitable, in its sole discretion, in the event (1) we subdivide the outstanding shares of any series of our common stock into a greater number of shares of such series of common stock, (2) we combine the outstanding shares of any series of our common stock into a smaller number of shares of such series of common stock or (3) there is a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock redemption, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase any series of our common stock, or any other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations, other than approved transactions (as defined in the 2022 incentive plan) for which other provisions are made pursuant to the 2022 incentive plan). In addition, in the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the compensation committee has the discretion to (i) provide, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of vesting and exercisability, or lapse of restrictions, with respect to the awards, or in the case of a cash merger, termination of unexercised awards, or (ii) cancel such awards and deliver cash to holders based on the fair market value of such awards as determined by the compensation committee, in a manner that is in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. If the purchase price of options or the base price of SARs, as applicable, is greater than the fair market value of such options or SARs, the options or SARs may be canceled for no consideration. Amendment and Termination. The 2022 incentive plan will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the plan’s effective date (which is May 24, 2022) unless earlier terminated by the compensation committee. The compensation committee may suspend, discontinue, modify or amend the 2022 incentive plan at any time prior to its termination, except that outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the purchase or base price of outstanding options or SARs. However, before an 4 2 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT PRO PO SAL 3 – THE INCE NTI VE PLAN P ROP OS A L amendment may be made that would adversely affect a participant who has already been granted an award, the participant’s consent must be obtained, unless the change is necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code. U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE 2022 INCENTIVE PLAN The following is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that generally will arise with respect to awards granted under the 2022 incentive plan and with respect to the sale of any shares of our common stock acquired under the 2022 incentive plan. This general summary does not purport to be complete, does not describe any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences, and does not address issues related to the tax circumstances of any particular recipient of an award under the 2022 incentive plan. Non-Qualified Stock Options; SARs. Holders will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option or a SAR. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or a SAR, the holder will recognize ordinary income (subject to withholding, if applicable) in an amount equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value on the date of exercise of the shares received over (2) the exercise price or base price (if any) he or she paid for the shares. The holder will generally have a tax basis in any shares of our common stock received pursuant to the exercise of a SAR, or pursuant to the cash exercise of a non-qualified stock option, that equals the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise. The disposition of the shares of our common stock acquired upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option will ordinarily result in capital gain or loss. We are entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the income recognized by the holder upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or SAR. Cash Awards; RSUs; Restricted Shares. A holder will recognize ordinary compensation income upon receipt of cash pursuant to a cash award or, if earlier, at the time such cash is otherwise made available for the holder to draw upon it, and we will have a corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limits on deductibility discussed below. A holder will not have taxable income upon the grant of a RSU but rather will generally recognize ordinary compensation income at the time the award is settled in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, at which time we will have a corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limits on deductibility discussed below. Generally, a holder will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of restricted shares, and we will not be entitled to any federal income tax deduction upon the grant of such award. The value of the restricted shares will generally be taxable to the holder as compensation income in the year or years in which the restrictions on the shares of common stock lapse. Such value will equal the fair market value of the shares on the date or dates the restrictions terminate. A holder, however, may elect pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to treat the fair market value of the shares subject to the restricted share award on the date of such grant as compensation income in the year of the grant of the restricted share award. The holder must make such an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days after the date of grant. If such an election is made and the holder later forfeits the restricted shares to us, the holder will not be allowed to deduct, at a later date, the amount such holder had earlier included as compensation income. In any case, we will receive a deduction for federal income tax purposes corresponding in amount to the amount of compensation included in the holder’s income in the year in which that amount is so included, subject to certain limits on deductibility discussed below. A holder who is an employee will be subject to withholding for federal, and generally for state and local, income taxes at the time the holder recognizes income under the rules described above with respect to the cash or the shares of our common stock received pursuant to awards. Dividends or dividend equivalents that are received by a holder prior to the time that the restricted shares or RSUs are taxed to the holder under the rules described in the preceding paragraph are taxed as additional compensation, not as dividend income. The tax basis of a holder in the shares of our common stock received will equal the amount recognized by the holder as compensation income under the rules described in the preceding paragraph, and the holder’s holding period in such shares will commence on the date income is so recognized. Certain Tax Code Limitations on Deductibility. In order for us to deduct the amounts described above, such amounts must constitute reasonable compensation for services rendered or to be rendered and must be ordinary and necessary business expenses. The ability to obtain a deduction for awards under the 2022 incentive plan could also be limited by Section 280G of the Code, which provides that certain excess parachute payments made in connection with a change in control of an employer are not deductible. The ability to obtain a deduction for amounts paid under the 2022 incentive plan could also be affected by Section 162(m) of the Code, which limits the deductibility, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 43 PRO POSAL 3 – T H E I NC ENT IVE PL AN P RO P O SA L of compensation paid to certain employees to $1 million during any taxable year. Following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, beginning with the 2018 calendar year, the executives potentially affected by the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code have been expanded and there is no longer any exception for qualified performance-based compensation. The transition rules in effect for binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017 provide that performance-based awards will maintain their exemption from the $1 million annual deduction limitation for so long as such contracts are not materially modified, even though the compensation deduction for such awards would not occur until after 2017. However, portions of the compensation we pay to the named executive officers may not be deductible due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code. Our compensation committee believes that the lost deduction on compensation payable in excess of the $1 million limitation for the named executive officers is not material relative to the benefit of being able to attract and retain talented management. Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code generally provides that any deferred compensation arrangement must satisfy specific requirements, both in operation and in form, regarding (1) the timing of payment, (2) the advance election of deferrals, and (3) restrictions on the acceleration of payment. Failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code may result in the early taxation (plus interest) to the participant of deferred compensation and the imposition of a 20% penalty on the participant on such deferred amounts included in the participant’s income. It is intended that awards under the 2022 incentive plan be structured in a manner that is designed to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code. NEW PLAN BENEFITS Due to the nature of the 2022 incentive plan and the discretionary authority afforded the compensation committee in connection with the administration thereof, we cannot determine or predict the value, number or type of awards to be granted pursuant to the 2022 incentive plan. Prior to the date of this proxy statement, we have not granted any awards under the 2022 incentive plan with respect to shares of our common stock. 4 4 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECU TI VE O FF ICE RS Executive Officers The following lists the executive officers of our company (other than Gregory B.

LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 47 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS COMPENSATION OVERVIEW Our compensation committee of our board of directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and regularly monitoring adherence to our compensation philosophy. That philosophy seeks to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating our executives to increase long-term stockholder value. To that end, the compensation packages provided to the named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone) include significant performance-based bonuses and significant equity incentive awards, including equity awards that vest multiple years after initial grant and equity awards that are performance-based. Our compensation committee seeks to approve a compensation package for each named executive officer that is commensurate with the responsibilities and proven or expected performance of that executive and that is competitive relative to the compensation packages paid to similarly situated executives in other companies. Our compensation committee believes that our compensation packages should assist our company in attracting and retaining key executives critical to our long-term success. At our 2021 annual stockholder meeting, stockholders representing a majority of the aggregate voting power of Liberty Media present and entitled to vote on our say-on-pay proposal voted in favor of, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation disclosed in our proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. No material changes were implemented to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. At our 2018 annual stockholder meeting, stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every three years and our board of directors adopted this as the frequency at which future say-on-pay votes would be held. SERVICES AGREEMENTS In connection with prior spin-off or split-off transactions involving our company or Qurate Retail, we entered into services arrangements with each of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor (each a Service Company, or, collectively the Service Companies). Pursuant to these arrangements, our employees provide or provided services to the Service Companies and our company is reimbursed for the time spent serving these Service Companies. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the weighted average percentage of each such named executive officer’s time that was allocated to our company was: Mr. Malone—75%; Mr. Wendling—89%; Mr. Rosenthaler—81%; and Ms. Wilm—80%. QURATE RETAIL We assumed a services agreement with Qurate Retail in connection with the spin-off of our company from our predecessor parent company, which was amended in December 2019 (the Qurate Retail Services Agreement) in connection with our compensation committee approving Mr. Maffei’s current five-year employment agreement (the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement). We similarly also entered into amendments to the services agreements with the other Service Companies (as discussed further below). Under the amended services agreements, including the Qurate Retail Services Agreement, each Service Company establishes, and pays or grants directly to Mr. Maffei, its allocable portion of his annual performance- based cash bonus, his annual equity-based awards and his Upfront Awards (as defined below), and reimburses us for its allocable portion of the other components of Mr. Maffei’s compensation, which amounts are therefore not reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. Liberty Media’s allocated portion of Mr. Maffei’s annual compensation for 2021 was 41% and Qurate Retail’s allocated portion of Mr. Maffei’s compensation was 17%. For a description of the terms of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, please see “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Maffei Employment Arrangement.” In addition, pursuant to the Qurate Retail Services Agreement, in 2021, Qurate Retail reimbursed us $10.1 million for the portion of the base salary and certain other compensation we paid to our other employees that was allocable to Qurate Retail for estimated time spent by each such employee related to that company and for certain administrative and management services. The 2021 performance-based bonuses earned by the named executive officers for services provided to our company were paid directly by our company and the performance-based bonuses earned by the named executive officers for services provided to Qurate Retail were paid directly by Qurate Retail. During 2021, the estimate of the allocable percentages of time spent performing services for Qurate Retail, on the one hand, and our company, on the other hand, were reviewed quarterly by our audit committee for appropriateness. The salaries, performance-based bonuses and certain perquisite information included in the “Summary Compensation Table” below 4 8 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N reflect the portion of the compensation paid by and allocable to Liberty Media and do not reflect the portion of the compensation allocable to Qurate Retail and for which Qurate Retail reimbursed Liberty Media under the Qurate Retail Services Agreement. OTHER SERVICES AGREEMENTS In connection with each of the August 2014 spin-off of Liberty TripAdvisor from Qurate Retail and our November 2014 spin- off of Liberty Broadband, we entered into a services agreement with Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband, respectively, pursuant to which we provide each of them certain administrative and management services, and each of them pays us a monthly management fee, the amount of which is subject to a quarterly review. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband accrued aggregate management fees of $3.7 million and $13.7 million, respectively, payable to our company under the relevant services agreement. In December 2019, each of the Service Companies’ services agreements were amended in connection with the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. Under the amended services agreements, our company is responsible for paying or providing annual base salary, perquisites and other employee benefits, severance benefits and certain reimbursements directly to Mr. Maffei, and a portion of these expenses are allocated to, and reimbursed by Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband. Liberty TripAdvisor’s and Liberty Broadband’s allocable portions of Mr. Maffei’s 2021 compensation were 5% and 37%, respectively. Under the amended services agreements, each of Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband establishes, and pays or grants directly to Mr. Maffei, that company’s allocable portion of his annual performance-based cash bonus, his annual equity-based awards and his Upfront Awards (as defined below), and reimburses Liberty Media for its allocable portion of the other components of Mr. Maffei’s compensation, which amounts are therefore not reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” below, and are described in more detail below in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Agreement.” The 2021 performance-based bonuses earned by each of the other named executive officers (other than Messrs. Malone and Maffei) for services provided to Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband were paid directly by each respective Service Company. SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION In making compensation decisions for each named executive officer (other than Mr. Malone), our compensation committee considers the following: • each element of the named executive officer’s compensation, including salary, performance-based bonus, equity compensation, perquisites and other personal benefits, and weights equity compensation most heavily; • the financial performance of our company compared to internal forecasts and budgets; Pay-Setting • the scope of the named executive officer’s responsibilities; • the competitive nature of the compensation packages offered based on general industry knowledge of the media, telecommunications and entertainment industries and periodic use of survey information provided by Mercer (US) Inc. (Mercer); and • the performance of the group reporting to the named executive officer. In addition, when setting compensation, our compensation committee considers the recommendations obtained from Mr. Maffei as to all elements of the compensation packages of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. To make these recommendations, Mr. Maffei evaluates the performance and contributions of each such named executive officer. He also considers whether the pay packages afforded to such named executive officers are competitive and are aligned internally. He also evaluates the named executive officer’s performance against individual, department and corporate goals. In December 2019, our compensation committee approved the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, which established his compensation for the term of the agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei— 2019 Maffei Employment Arrangement” below. Prior to entering into the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, our compensation committee reviewed information from Mercer with respect to chief executive officer compensation packages LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 49 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N at the companies described above (media, telecommunications, e-commerce and entertainment companies) and discussed with Mercer alternative equity award structures. Mr. Malone’s compensation is governed by the terms of his employment agreement with our company. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone.” ELEMENTS OF 2021 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION For 2021, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone) were: • base salary; • a performance-based bonus, payable in cash; • time-vested stock options and performance-based restricted stock units; • perquisites and other limited personal benefits; and • deferred compensation arrangements. BASE SALARY Our compensation committee believes base salary should be a relatively smaller portion of each named executive officer’s overall compensation package, allowing for a greater portion to be performance based, thereby aligning the interests of our executives more closely with those of our stockholders. The base salaries of the named executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis (other than Messrs. Malone and Maffei, whose salaries are set by their employment agreements), as well as at the time of any change in responsibilities. Typically, after establishing a named executive officer’s base salary, salary increases are limited to cost-of-living adjustments, adjustments based on changes in the scope of the named executive officer’s responsibilities, and adjustments to align the named executive officer’s salary level with those of our other named executive officers. Similarly, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Malone’s fixed cash compensation is limited. After completion of the annual review in December 2020, the 2021 base salaries of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm were increased by 18.5%, 16.2% and 8%, respectively, after a review of the competitive compensation packages offered to similarly situated executives in the media, telecommunications and entertainment industries, a cost-of- living adjustment and in the case of Ms. Wilm, consideration of her expanded role as our Chief Administrative Officer. For 2021, Mr. Maffei’s salary remained at $3,000,000, as prescribed by the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. Mr. Malone received no increase under the terms of his employment agreement. 2021 PERFORMANCE-BASED BONUSES Overview. For 2021, our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for each of Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. The 2021 bonus program was comprised of two components: a bonus amount payable based on each participant’s individual performance (the Individual Performance Bonus) and a bonus amount payable based on the corporate performance of our company, Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband (the Corporate Performance Bonus). 5 0 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT Individual Performance Bonus (60% weighting) • Based on each named executive officers’ personal, department and corporate related goals • Named executive officer provided a self-evaluation of their achievements, and in the case of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, Mr. Maffei also provided an evaluation • Compensation committee reviewed goals, evaluations and achievements before approving a specific payout for each named executive officer ANNUAL PERFORMANCE BONUS EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N Corporate Performance Bonus (40% weighting) • 30% based on consolidated financial results of all subsidiaries and major investments within our company, Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband • 10% based on consolidated revenue results • 10% based on consolidated Adjusted OIBDA results • 10% based on consolidated free cash flow results • 10% based on corporate level achievements such as merger and acquisition activity, investments, financings, ESG initiatives, SEC/audit compliance, litigation management and tax compliance Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei was assigned a target bonus opportunity under the performance-based bonus program equal to $17 million in the aggregate for our company and each of the Service Companies. That bonus amount was split among, and payable directly by, our company and each of the Service Companies, with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee. In 2021, the portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount allocated to our company was 41% or $6,970,000. The portions of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount allocated to each of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor were 17% (or $2,890,000), 37% (or $6,290,000), and 5% (or $850,000), respectively. Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm were assigned by our compensation committee in March 2021 a maximum bonus opportunity under the performance-based bonus program, which would be allocated to and paid to each named executive officer directly by each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor in the same percentage as the allocation for Mr. Maffei’s target bonus opportunity (the Maximum Performance Bonus). The portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to Liberty Media under this program was $13,940,000, $493,538, $902,977 and $903,312 for Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively (the LMC Maximum Performance Bonus). The LMC Maximum Performance Bonus amounts are up to 200% of Mr. Maffei’s target annual bonus allocated to our company under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, and our company’s allocable portion of up to 200% of base pay for each of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. The portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor was $5,780,000, $12,580,000 and $1,700,000, respectively, for Mr. Maffei, $204,638, $445,388 and $60,188, respectively, for Mr. Wendling, $374,405, $814,882 and $110,119, respectively, for Mr. Rosenthaler and $374,544, $815,184 and $110,160, respectively, for Ms. Wilm. Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LMC Maximum Individual Bonus) equal to 60% of the LMC Maximum Performance Bonus for that participant. The LMC Maximum Individual Bonus was subject to reduction based on a determination of the participant’s achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of our company. Under the corollary programs of the Service Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from the Service Companies a maximum individual bonus equal to 60% of his or her Maximum Performance Bonus allocable to each such Service Company subject to reduction based on a determination of the participant’s achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of the Service Company. Our compensation committee believes this construct was appropriate in light of the services agreements with the Service Companies and the fact that each participant splits his or her professional time and duties. Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LMC Maximum Corporate Bonus) equal to 40% of his or her LMC Maximum Performance Bonus, subject to reduction based on a determination of the consolidated LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 51 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N corporate performance of our company and the Service Companies. Under the corollary programs of the Service Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor a bonus that is 40% of the Service Company’s allocable portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus, which were subject to reduction based on a determination of the consolidated corporate performance of our company, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor. In December 2021, our compensation committee and the compensation committees of the Service Companies, reviewed contemporaneously our respective named executive officers’ individual performance and consolidated corporate performance under each company’s program. Notwithstanding this joint effort, our compensation committee retained sole and exclusive discretion with respect to the approval of award terms and amounts payable under our bonus program. Individual Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee reviewed the individual performance of each participant to determine the reductions that would apply to each participant’s LMC Maximum Individual Bonus. Our compensation committee took into account a variety of factors, without assigning a numerical weight to any single performance measure. This determination was based on reports to our board, the observations of committee members throughout the year, executive self-evaluations and, with respect to the participants other than Mr. Maffei, the observations and input of Mr. Maffei. In evaluating the performance of each of the participants for determining the reduction that would apply to each named executive officer’s LMC Maximum Individual Bonus, the following performance objectives related to our company which had been assigned to each participant for 2021 were considered: GREGORY B. MAFFEI President and Chief Executive Officer Performance Objectives: • Provide leadership to management team to drive strategies, further enhance brand and increase shareholder value • Support Formula 1 management and Sirius XM management in strategic initiatives • Launch IPO of a special purpose acquisition company and pursue target for initial business combination • Pursue synergistic acquisition and investment opportunities • Pursue optimal capital structure for our company and subsidiaries, including development of additional capital funding strategies and sufficient liquidity, and assist with the same at subsidiaries and other interests as necessary • Assist with strategy and succession planning at our company and subsidiaries; support development of our company’s management team • Oversee extension of Braves mixed use development • Continue to develop ESG program for our company BRIAN J.

See “—Services Agreements” above. Following a review of the above, our compensation committee determined to pay each participant the following portion of his or her LMC Maximum Individual Bonus: Name Gregory B. Maffei Brian J. Wendling Albert E. Rosenthaler Renee L. Wilm LMC Maximum Individual Bonus $8,364,000 $ 296,123 $ 541,786 $ 541,987 Percentage Payable 87.50% 81.25% 81.25% 87.50% Aggregate Dollar Amount $7,318,500 $ 240,600 $ 440,201 $ 474,239 Corporate Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee then made a determination as to the portion, if any, that would be payable to each participant for his or her LMC Maximum Corporate Bonus, a portion of which is attributable to consolidated financial measures of the Operating Companies (as defined below) as a group and a portion of which is attributable to corporate-level achievements. In making this determination, our compensation committee first reviewed forecasts of 2021 Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below), revenue and free cash flow (financial measures) for Sirius XM, Braves Holdings, LLC (Braves Holdings), Formula 1, QVC, HSN, Inc., Cornerstone Brands, Inc., Zulily, LLC, GCI Holdings, LLC, and proportionate shares of Live Nation, Charter and Tripadvisor, Inc. (Tripadvisor) (collectively, the Operating Companies), all of which forecasts were prepared in December 2021 and are set forth in the table below. Also set forth in the table below are the corresponding actual financial measures achieved for 2021, which deviated from our forecasts as indicated below. Although forecasted revenue, Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow deviated from the actual result, none of the deviations would have affected the amounts paid under the corporate performance bonus portion of the program. For purposes of the bonus program, Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, transaction related costs (including LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 53 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N acquisition, restructuring, integration, and advisory fees), impairments and fire related costs. Sirius XM, Live Nation, Charter, and Tripadvisor do not report Adjusted OIBDA information. As a result, in order to determine their financial results, we used the most similar non-GAAP measures reported by each of these companies. We used Adjusted EBITDA as reported by Sirius XM, Charter, and Tripadvisor and Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) as reported by Live Nation. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA as defined by Sirius XM, see Sirius XM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 1, 2022. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA as defined by Charter, see Charter’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on January 28, 2022. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA as defined by Tripadvisor, see Tripadvisor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 18, 2022. For a definition of AOI as defined by Live Nation, see Live Nation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 23, 2022.

All calculations were performed on a constant currency basis. (2) Defined for purposes of the bonus program as Adjusted OIBDA less all other operating and investing items on a constant currency basis. Based on a review of the above forecasts and consideration of Operating Company performance against plan for these financial measures by the compensation committees of our company, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor, the compensation committees determined that the financial measures relating to the Operating Companies were achieved to the extent described below. Financial Measure Revenue(1) Adjusted OIBDA(1) Free Cash Flow(1)(2) Percentage Payable 6% of a possible 10% 9% of a possible 10% 8% of a possible 10% Percentage payable was based on 2021 forecasted financial measures compared to 2021 budgeted financial measures, with a 7% payout if forecasted financial measures equaled budget financial measures, and a payout range of 0% to 10% if forecasted financial measures were less than or greater than budgeted financial measures. Our compensation committee then translated the achievement of these financial measures into a percentage payable (23% of a possible 30%, or 76.67%) to each participant of his or her LMC Maximum Corporate Bonus related to financial measures, as follows: Name Gregory B. Maffei Brian J. Wendling Albert E. Rosenthaler Renee L.

In making this determination, the compensation committee considered 5 4 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT merger and acquisition activity, investments, financings, ESG initiatives, SEC/audit compliance, litigation management and tax compliance.

Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm received $26,730,752, $966,011, $1,767,413 and $1,850,688, respectively. For more information regarding these bonus awards, please see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below. EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION The 2017 incentive plan provides, and prior to its expiration, the Liberty Media Corporation 2013 Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of March 31, 2015), as amended (the 2013 incentive plan) provided, for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, RSUs, SARs and performance awards. Our compensation committee has a preference for grants of stock-based incentive awards (RSUs, restricted stock and options) as compared with cash incentive awards based on the belief that they better promote retention of key employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. It is the policy of our compensation committee that stock options be awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, typically measured by reference to the closing price on the grant date. In 2019 our compensation committee reviewed our grant practice and determined that it would be appropriate to request each of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor to grant a portion of the equity awards granted to our named executive officers. Our compensation committee determined to allocate to each of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor a proportionate share of the aggregate equity grant value given to each named executive officer based 50% on relative market capitalization and 50% on relative time spent by our company’s employees working for such issuer. With respect to awards made to Mr. Maffei, the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity award value will be granted across all the companies by our compensation committee and the compensation committees of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor based on two factors, each weighted 50%: (i) the relative market capitalization of each series of stock of each company and (ii) the average of (a) the percentage allocation of time for all Liberty Media employees across all companies and (b) Mr. Maffei’s percentage allocation of time across all companies, unless a different allocation method is agreed. Maffei Annual Equity Awards. The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides Mr. Maffei with the opportunity to earn annual equity awards during the employment term. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei— Annual Awards” for additional information about the annual awards provided under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 55 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N When structuring the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, our compensation committee considered a number of factors including the amount and structure of CEO compensation packages provided by companies in our industry, companies of comparable size and complexity, and companies that may compete with our company for executive talent. The compensation committee also considered the strategic direction and goals of our company and considered how best to incent achievement of those objectives. To further align Mr. Maffei’s interests with those of the other stockholders, the compensation committee structured his annual equity award grants as either option awards or performance-based restricted stock units with meaningful payout metrics determined annually. This structure was designed to provide for alignment of interests with the company’s stockholders and flexibility to the compensation committee to incent achievement of strategic objectives that may change or evolve over the term of the agreement. The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provided that Mr. Maffei was entitled to receive from our company and the Service Companies in 2021 a combined target value equity award of $17.5 million comprised of time-vested stock options, performance-based restricted stock units or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election. In 2021, our compensation committee granted a combination of time-vested stock options and performance-based RSUs to Mr. Maffei in satisfaction of our obligations under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement for 41% of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity award value for 2021, or $7,175,000. In accordance with the agreed upon allocation, $2,975,000 was granted in FWONK awards, $3,325,000 was granted in LSXMK awards, and $875,000 was granted in BATRK awards. As a result, our compensation committee granted to Mr. Maffei 256,535 LSXMK time-vested options (the 2021 Maffei LSXMK options), 65,399 FWONK performance-based RSUs (the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs), and 30,552 BATRK performance-based RSUs (the 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs). The 2021 Maffei LSXMK options had a grant date of March 10, 2021, a term of seven years, and a base price of $45.34, which was the closing price of LSXMK on the grant date. In addition, the stock options vested in full on December 31, 2021, and were subject to other applicable terms and conditions for option grants as set forth in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. The 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs had a grant date of March 10, 2021 and vest only upon attainment of the performance objectives described below. Our compensation committee reviewed the financial performance of our company along with the personal performance of Mr. Maffei. Based on the compensation committee’s assessment of his individual performance against the goals established in connection with the performance cash bonus program and general observation of his leadership and executive performance, our compensation committee approved vesting all of the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs. For more information regarding the equity awards, see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below; “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2021 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Qurate Retail’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders; “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis— Elements of 2021 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Liberty TripAdvisor’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders; and “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2021 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Liberty Broadband’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. Multiyear Equity Awards. Our compensation committee makes larger stock option grants (equaling approximately three to four years’ value of the named executive officer’s annual grants) that vest between two and four years after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These multiyear grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and generally expire seven to ten years after grant to encourage executives to remain with the company over the long-term and to better align their interests with those of the stockholders. Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm each received a multiyear stock option award in December 2020 (the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options), which equaled the value of, for Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler, the annual grants that were expected to be granted to each for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, and for Ms. Wilm, a top up in value over grants already made for the same period to reflect the increased responsibilities associated with her new role beginning in 2021 of Chief Administrative Officer. See the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal-Year End” table below for more information about the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options. Annual Performance Awards. Consistent with our practice since December 2014 of granting a combination of multiyear stock options and annual performance awards to senior officers, our compensation committee granted annual performance RSUs to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm in March 2021. Our compensation committee 5 6 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N granted to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, 3,041, 5,494 and 5,494 LSXMK performance-based RSUs, respectively, 1,624, 2,933 and 2,933 BATRK performance-based RSUs, respectively, and 3,237, 5,847 and 5,847 FWONK performance-based RSUs, respectively, on March 10, 2021 (collectively, the 2021 Chief RSUs). The 2021 Chief RSUs would vest subject to the satisfaction of the performance objectives described below. Our compensation committee reviewed the 2021 financial performance of our company along with the 2021 personal performance of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm and considered the recommendations from Mr. Maffei, who recommended that our committee vest 100% of the 2021 Chief RSUs based on his assessment of their individual performance against the goals established in connection with the performance cash bonus program and his general observation of their leadership and executive performance. Accordingly, our compensation committee approved vesting in full of the 2021 Chief RSUs previously granted to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. Messrs. Malone and Maffei did not participate in the annual performance RSU program. PERQUISITES AND OTHER PERSONAL BENEFITS The perquisites and other personal benefits available to our executives (that are not otherwise available to all of our salaried employees, such as matching contributions to the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan and the payment of life insurance premiums) consist of: • limited personal use of corporate aircraft; • in the case of Mr. Maffei, payment of legal expenses pertaining to his employment arrangement; • occasional, personal use of an apartment in New York City owned by a subsidiary of our company, which is primarily used for business purposes, and occasional, personal use of a company car and driver; • a deferred compensation plan; and • in the case of Mr. Malone, an annual allowance of $1 million for personal expenses provided pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement (see “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone”). Taxable income may be incurred by our executives in connection with their receipt of perquisites and personal benefits. Other than as contemplated by Mr. Malone’s employment agreement, we have not provided gross-up payments to our executives in connection with any such taxable income incurred during the past three years. Aircraft Usage. On occasion, and with the appropriate approvals, executives may have family members and other guests accompany them on our corporate aircraft when traveling on business. Under the terms of the employment arrangements with our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer, our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer and their guests may use the corporate aircraft for non-business purposes subject to specified limitations. Pursuant to a February 5, 2013 letter agreement between us and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. During 2021, pursuant to November 11, 2015 and December 13, 2019 letter agreements between us and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was entitled to 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time if he reimbursed us for such usage through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. If Mr. Maffei’s employment is terminated due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to continued use of the company’s aircraft for 12 months after termination of his employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income, calculated in accordance with the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rates, for all personal use of our corporate aircraft under the February 5, 2013 letter agreement. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income at the SIFL rates minus amounts paid under time sharing agreements with our company for travel. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against the 120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of budgeted hours under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as compared to the cost of using company-owned aircraft. The cost of Mr. Malone’s personal use of our corporate aircraft, calculated in accordance with SIFL, counts toward his $1 million personal expense allowance (described above). LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 57 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N For disclosure purposes, we determine the aggregate incremental cost to the company of the executives’ personal flights by using a method that takes into account all operating costs related to such flights, including: • landing and parking expenses; • crew travel expenses; • supplies and catering; • aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight; • aircraft maintenance and upkeep; • any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; and • passenger ground transportation. Because the company’s aircraft is used primarily for business travel, this methodology excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as salaries of pilots and crew, and purchase or lease costs of aircraft. Pursuant to our aircraft time sharing agreements with Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband, each of these companies pays us for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Malone or Mr. Maffei using our corporate aircraft that are allocable to such company. For Mr. Maffei, allocations made to Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband include his corporate aircraft use relating to such company’s business matters and each Service Company’s allocable portion of the approved personal use of our aircraft. Pursuant to our aircraft time sharing agreements with Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was responsible for reimbursing us for costs associated with his 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time and such costs include the expenses listed above, insurance obtained for the specific flight and an additional charge equal to 100% of the aircraft fuel and oil expenses for the specific flight. For purposes of determining an executive’s taxable income, personal use of our aircraft is valued using a method based on SIFL rates, as published by the Treasury Department. The amount determined using the SIFL rates is typically lower than the amount determined using the incremental cost method. Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the amount we may deduct for U.S. federal income tax purposes for a purely personal flight is limited to the amount included in the taxable income of the executives who took the flight. Also, the deductibility of any non-business use will be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent that the named executive officer’s compensation that is subject to that limitation exceeds $1 million. See “—Deductibility of Executive Compensation” below. DEFERRED COMPENSATION To help accommodate the tax and estate planning objectives of the named executive officers, as well as other executives with the title of Assistant Vice President and above, our board of directors assumed the previously established Liberty Media Corporation 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated). Under that plan, participants could elect to defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 100% of their cash performance bonus that were allocable to our company. Compensation deferred under the plan that otherwise would have been received prior to 2015 would earn interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, for the period of the deferral. Compensation deferred under the plan that otherwise would have been received on or after January 1, 2015 will earn interest income at a rate that is intended to approximate our company’s general cost of 10-year debt. For, 2019, 2020, and 2021 the rate was 7.0%, 6.75% and 6.5%, respectively. Since September 2011, the named executive officers may not participate in the plan with respect to any portion of their cash performance bonuses paid by Qurate Retail or any other Service Company. For more information on this plan and the amendments that became effective January 1, 2016, see “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan and the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans” table below. We provide Mr. Malone with certain deferred compensation arrangements that were entered into by our predecessors and assumed by us in connection with the various restructurings that we have undergone. Beginning in February 2009, Mr. Malone began receiving accelerated payments under those deferred compensation arrangements. For more information on these arrangements, see “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone” below. DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION In developing the 2021 compensation packages for the named executive officers, the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code was considered. That provision prohibits the deduction of compensation 5 8 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N of more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. Following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, beginning with the 2018 calendar year, the executives potentially affected by the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code have been expanded and there is no longer any exception for qualified performance-based compensation. Although some performance-based awards will not result in a compensation deduction after 2017, we believe the transition rules in effect for binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017 should continue to allow certain of these awards to maintain their exemption from the $1 million annual deduction limitation for so long as such awards are not materially modified. However, portions of the compensation we pay to the named executive officers may not be deductible due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code. Our compensation committee believes that the lost deduction on compensation payable in excess of the $1 million limitation for the named executive officers is not material relative to the benefit of being able to attract and retain talented management. RECOUPMENT PROVISIONS In those instances where we grant cash or equity-based incentive compensation, we include in the related agreement with the executive a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to the company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or stock appreciation rights). That right will arise if (1) a material restatement of any of our financial statements is required and (2) in the reasonable judgment of our compensation committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the executive. In determining the amount of such repayment or return, our compensation committee may take into account, among other factors it deems relevant, the extent to which the market value of the applicable series of our common stock was affected by the errors giving rise to the restatement. The cash, stock or other compensation that we may require the executive to repay or return must have been received by the executive during the 12- month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the SEC, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement. The compensation required to be repaid or returned will include (1) cash or company stock received by the executive (A) upon the exercise during that 12-month period of any stock appreciation right held by the executive or (B) upon the payment during that 12-month period of any incentive compensation, the value of which is determined by reference to the value of company stock, and (2) any proceeds received by the executive from the disposition during that 12-month period of company stock received by the executive upon the exercise, vesting or payment during that 12-month period of any award of equity-based incentive compensation. Beginning in December 2020, we also began including in new forms of equity-based award agreements a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to the company, upon a reasonable determination by our compensation committee that the executive breached the confidentiality obligations included in the agreement, all or any portion of the outstanding award, any shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach and any proceeds from the disposition of shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach. STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES AND HEDGING POLICIES Our board of directors has adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally require our executive officers to own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of the annual performance RSUs granted by our company to such executive officer, or in the case of Mr. Maffei, three times the value of the annual performance RSUs or annual option awards, as selected by Mr. Maffei, with the required ownership level automatically adjusted following these annual grants. Our executive officers generally have five years from the date of their appointment to an executive officer role to comply with these guidelines. For information regarding our policies with respect to the ability of our officers and directors to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our equity securities, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management—Hedging Disclosure.” COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION No member of our compensation committee during 2021 is or has been an officer or employee of our company, or has engaged in any related party transaction in which our company was a participant.

Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, beginning January 1, 2020 the amount of Mr. Maffei’s base salary allocable to our company was $1,320,000, but due to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, for the period from April 4, 2020 through December 31, 2020, Mr. Maffei offered to waive the right to receive his base salary except for amounts sufficient to cover health insurance, flexible spending contributions and certain taxes. Mr. Maffei received an aggregate of $360,800 in cash salary during 2020. In consideration for the portion of Mr. Maffei’s 2020 base salary that he offered to waive and restructure (which totaled $959,200), we granted to Mr. Maffei RSUs, which had a grant date fair value of $511,080 (the 2020 CEO Salary Restructuring RSUs), and this amount is reflected in the Salary column of this Summary Compensation Table.

MALONE Mr. Malone’s employment agreement and his deferred compensation arrangements with our predecessor companies, as described below, have been assigned to our company. The term of Mr. Malone’s employment agreement is extended daily so that the remainder of the employment term is five years. The employment agreement was amended in June 1999 to provide for, among other things, an annual salary of $2,600 (which was increased to $3,900 in 2014), subject to increase with board approval. The employment agreement was amended in 2003 to provide for payment or reimbursement of personal expenses, including professional fees and other expenses incurred by Mr. Malone for estate, tax planning and other services, and for personal use of corporate aircraft and flight crew. The aggregate amount of such payments or reimbursements and the value of his personal use of corporate aircraft was originally limited to $500,000 per year but increased to $1 million effective January 1, 2007 by the Qurate Retail compensation committee. Although the “Summary Compensation Table” above reflects the portion of the aggregate incremental cost of Mr. Malone’s personal use of our corporate aircraft attributable to our company, the value of his aircraft use for purposes of his employment agreement is determined in accordance with SIFL, which aggregated $23,757 for use of the aircraft during the year ended December 31, 2021. Qurate Retail is allocated, and reimburses us for, portions of the other components of the payments/reimbursements to Mr. Malone described above. In December 2008, the Qurate Retail compensation committee determined to modify Mr. Malone’s employment arrangements to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving fixed monthly payments in 2009, in advance of a termination event, in satisfaction of its obligations to him under a 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, a 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and an installment severance plan, in each case, entered into with him by Qurate Retail’s predecessors (and which had been assumed by Qurate Retail). At the time of the amendment, the amounts owed to Mr. Malone under these arrangements aggregated approximately $2.4 million, $20 million and $39 million, respectively. As a result of these modifications, Mr. Malone receives 240 equal monthly installments, which commenced February 2009, of: (1) approximately $20,000 under the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, (2) approximately $237,000 under the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and (3) approximately $164,000 under the installment severance plan. Interest ceased to accrue under the installment severance plan once these payments began; however, interest continues to accrue on the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 8% per annum and on the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 13% per annum. In 2013, we assumed these payment obligations. Under the terms of Mr. Malone’s employment agreement, he is entitled to receive upon the termination of his employment at our election for any reason (other than for death or “cause”), a lump sum equal to his salary for a period of five full years following termination (calculated on the basis of $3,900 per annum, the lump sum severance payment). As described above, we assumed Mr. Malone’s employment agreement and all outstanding obligations thereunder, and Qurate Retail will reimburse us for its allocated portion of any such lump sum severance payments made thereunder. For a description of the effect of any termination event or a change in control of our company on his employment agreement, see “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below GREGORY B. MAFFEI 2019 Employment Arrangement On December 13, 2019, our compensation committee approved a compensation arrangement with Mr. Maffei. The arrangement covers the terms of Mr. Maffei’s employment during a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2024, with an annual base salary of $3 million (with no contracted increase) and a one-time cash commitment bonus of $5 million, an annual target cash performance bonus equal to $17 million (with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee), upfront equity awards and annual equity awards. Mr. Maffei’s compensation arrangement was memorialized in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2019. The arrangement provides that, in the event Mr. Maffei is terminated for cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to only his accrued base salary, any unpaid expense reimbursements and any amounts due under applicable law, and he will forfeit any unvested portion of his Upfront Awards (as defined below). If Mr. Maffei is 6 4 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N terminated by Liberty Media without cause or if Mr. Maffei terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), subject to the execution of releases by our company and Mr. Maffei in a form to be mutually agreed, he is entitled to (i) his accrued base salary, any accrued but unpaid bonus for the prior completed year, any unpaid expense reimbursements and any amounts due under applicable law (the Standard Entitlements), (ii) a severance payment of two times his base salary during the year of his termination to be paid in equal installments over 24 months, (iii) fully vested shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of $35 million consisting of shares of the applicable series of common stock from Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband, (iv) full vesting of his Upfront Awards and full vesting of the Annual Awards (as defined below) for the year in which the termination occurs (including the grant and full vesting of such Annual Awards if the termination occurs before they have been granted), (v) a lump sum cash payment of two times the average annual cash performance bonus paid for the two calendar years ending prior to the termination, but in no event less than two times his target annual cash performance bonus of $17 million, with (subject to certain exceptions) up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of the applicable series of common stock from Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband, (vi) a lump sum cash payment equal to the greater of (x) $17 million or (y) the annual cash performance bonus otherwise payable for the year of termination, in each case, prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within the year of termination (including the date of termination), with (subject to certain exceptions) up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of the applicable series of common stock from Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband, and (vii) continued use for 12 months after such termination of certain services and perquisites provided by our company, including continued aircraft benefits consistent with those provided to him during the period of his employment (collectively referred to as the Severance Benefits). If Mr. Maffei terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to the Standard Entitlements, pro rata vesting of the Upfront Awards (based on the number of days that have elapsed during the four-year vesting period), pro rata vesting of his Annual Awards for the year of termination (based on the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination) and a pro rata portion of $17 million (based on the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination), with (subject to certain exceptions) up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of LSXMK, BATRK and FWONK and/or the common stock of other Service Companies. Any Annual Performance RSUs for the year of termination that are unvested on the date of termination will remain outstanding until the performance criteria is determined and will vest pro rata (based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination) to the extent determined by our compensation committee (at a level not less than 100% of the target award). Lastly, in the case of Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, he will be entitled to the Severance Benefits. The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement also contains other customary terms and conditions. Maffei Term Equity Awards In connection with the execution of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei became entitled to receive term equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million (the Upfront Awards) to be granted in two equal tranches. The first tranche of the Upfront Awards was granted in December 2019 and consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from Liberty TripAdvisor that vest, in each case, on December 31, 2023 (except Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which vests on December 15, 2023), subject to Mr. Maffei’s continued employment, except as described below. Liberty Media’s portion of the Upfront Awards granted in December 2019 had an aggregate grant date fair value of $19,800,000 and consisted of stock options to purchase 927,334 LSXMK shares, 313,342 BATRK shares and 588,954 FWONK shares, with exercise prices of $47.11, $29.10 and $43.85, respectively, each with a term of seven years (the 2019 Maffei Term Options). The second tranche of the Upfront Awards was granted in December 2020 and consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from Liberty TripAdvisor. The Upfront Awards granted in December 2020 will vest, in each case, on December 31, 2024 (except Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which vests on December 7, 2024), subject to Mr. Maffei’s continued employment, except as described below. Liberty Media’s portion of the Upfront Awards granted in December 2020 had an aggregate grant date fair value of $18,450,000 and consisted of stock options to purchase 665,140 LSXMK shares, 352,224 BATRK shares and 544,508 FWONK shares, with exercise prices of $42.13, $26.36 and $43.01, respectively, each with a term of seven years (the 2020 Maffei Term Options). Annual Awards The aggregate grant date fair value of Mr. Maffei’s annual equity awards is $17.5 million for each year during the term of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and is comprised of awards of time-vested stock options (the Annual Options), LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 65 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N performance-based restricted stock units (Annual Performance RSUs) or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election, allocable across Liberty Media and each of the Service Companies (collectively, the Annual Awards). Vesting of any Annual Performance RSUs will be subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics to be approved by our compensation committee and the compensation committee of the applicable Service Company with respect to its respective allocable portion of the Annual Performance RSUs. At Liberty Media, Mr. Maffei’s annual equity awards will be issued with respect to LSXMK, BATRK and FWONK. For a description of Mr. Maffei’s Annual Awards, see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2021 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Maffei Annual Equity Awards.” Aircraft Usage We are party to a February 5, 2013 letter agreement with Mr. Maffei, pursuant to which he is entitled to personal use of corporate aircraft not to exceed 120 hours of flight time per year through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. During 2020, pursuant to the November 11, 2015 and December 13, 2019 letter agreements between us and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was entitled to 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time if he reimbursed us for such usage through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. If Mr. Maffei’s employment is terminated due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to continued use of the company’s aircraft for 12 months after termination of his employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income, calculated in accordance with the SIFL value, for all personal use of our corporate aircraft under the February 5, 2013 letter agreement. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income at the SIFL rates minus amounts paid under time sharing agreements with our company. Pursuant to our aircraft time sharing agreements with Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband, such entities pay us for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using our corporate aircraft that are allocable to these entities. Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband reimburse us for Mr. Maffei’s use of our corporate aircraft for such entity’s business, as the case may be, while Qurate Retail also reimburses us for Mr. Maffei’s personal use of our corporate aircraft. Pursuant to our aircraft time sharing agreements with Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei reimburses us for costs associated with his up to 50 hours of personal use of our corporate aircraft under the November 11, 2015 and December 13, 2019 letter agreements. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against the 120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of budgeted hours under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as compared to the cost of using company-owned aircraft. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS The 2017 incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The compensation committee has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The 2017 incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to certain employees and independent contractors for exceptional service and to encourage their investment in our company. Our compensation committee may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2017 incentive plan (collectively, incentive plan awards). As of December 31, 2021, the maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which incentive plan awards may be issued under the 2017 incentive plan is 50,000,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2017 incentive plan. With limited exceptions, under the 2017 incentive plan, no person may be granted in any calendar year incentive plan awards covering more than 8,000,000 shares of our common stock (subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2017 incentive plan) nor may any person receive under the 2017 incentive plan payment for cash incentive plan awards during any calendar year in excess of $10 million. However, no nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year incentive plan awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $2 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to incentive plan awards made under the 2017 incentive plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company. The 2017 incentive plan has a five-year term. If the 2022 incentive plan is approved, it will be the only incentive plan under which awards will be made, and no additional awards will be made under the 2017 incentive plan. 6 6 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N In 2013, our company’s board of directors adopted the Liberty Media Corporation Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (the TSAP, and together with the 2013 incentive plan and the 2017 incentive plan, the existing incentive plans). The TSAP governs the terms and conditions of equity incentive awards with respect to our common stock issued in connection with adjustments made to equity incentive awards relating to our predecessor’s common stock that were granted prior to 2013. No further grants are permitted under the TSAP. 2006 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN Our company maintains the Liberty Media Corporation 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the 2006 deferred compensation plan), under which officers at the level of Assistant Vice President and above are eligible to elect to defer up to 50% of such officer’s annual base salary and 100% of cash performance bonuses. These deferral elections must be made in advance of certain deadlines and may include (1) the selection of a payment date, which generally may not be later than 30 years from the end of the year in which the applicable compensation is initially deferred, and (2) the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or substantially equal annual installments over two to five years for elections made prior to January 1, 2016 or two to ten years for elections made on or after January 1, 2016. In addition to the accelerated distribution events described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below, at the eligible officer’s request, if the compensation committee determines that such officer has suffered a financial hardship, it may authorize immediate distribution of amounts deferred under the 2006 deferred compensation plan. Compensation deferred under the 2006 deferred compensation plan that otherwise would have been received prior to 2015 would earn interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, for the period of the deferral. Compensation deferred under the 2006 deferred compensation plan that otherwise would have been received on or after January 1, 2015 will earn interest income at a rate that is intended to approximate our company’s general cost of 10-year debt. For amounts deferred on or after January 1, 2015, the compensation committee may not change the applicable interest rate in effect after a change of control has occurred. For 2021 the rate was 6.5%. Our board of directors reserves the right to terminate the 2006 deferred compensation plan at any time. An optional termination by our board of directors will not result in any distribution acceleration. PAY RATIO INFORMATION We are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the total compensation of Mr. Maffei, our chief executive officer on December 31, 2021, pursuant to the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We believe our pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules. However, because these rules provide flexibility in determining the methodology, assumptions and estimates used to determine pay ratios and the fact that workforce composition issues differ significantly between companies, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies. To identify our median employee, we first determined our employee population as of December 31, 2021, which consisted of employees located in the U.S., Belgium, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Malaysia, Philippines, Romania, the United Kingdom and Venezuela, representing all full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary employees employed by our company and our consolidated subsidiaries, Sirius XM, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings, on that date. Using information from our payroll records and Form W-2s (or its equivalent for non-U.S. employees), we then measured each employee’s gross wages for calendar year 2021, consisting of base salary, commissions, actual bonus payments, long-term incentive cash payments, if any, realized equity award value and taxable fringe benefits. We did not annualize the compensation of employees who were new hires or took a leave of absence in 2021. Also, we did not annualize the compensation of our temporary or seasonal employees. In addition, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments to the gross wages information. We determined that the median employee’s total compensation for calendar year 2021, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determined the total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table above.

Mr. Maffei maintained his account under the 2006 deferred compensation plan and Mr. Wendling made contributions to the 2006 deferred compensation plan. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan” for more information. Mr. Malone’s deferred compensation arrangements are described under “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone.” During 2021, Mr. Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm did not participate in any deferred compensation arrangements. Name John C. Malone Gregory B. Maffei Brian J. Wendling Albert E.

For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei’s employment had terminated at each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. In the event of such a termination or change in control, the actual amounts may be different due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify these arrangements from time to time. The amounts provided in the table are based on the closing market prices on December 31, 2021 for our LSXMK common stock, which was $50.85, our BATRK common stock, which was $28.10, and our FWONK common stock, which was $63.24. Any option awards held by the named executive officers that had an exercise price that was more than the closing market price of our LSXMK common stock, BATRK common stock and FWONK common stock on December 31, 2021 have been excluded from the table below. For all other option awards, the value of the options shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise price of the award and the applicable closing market price. The value of the RSUs shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of unvested RSUs that would have vested in the applicable termination scenario according to the terms of the applicable award. Each of our named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone) has received awards and payments under the existing incentive plans, and each of our named executive officers is eligible to participate in our deferred compensation plan. Additionally, each of Messrs. Malone and Maffei is entitled to certain payments and acceleration rights upon termination under his respective employment agreement. No immediate distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of a termination for cause or a termination without cause or for good reason (other than pursuant to the compensation committee’s right to distribute certain de minimis amounts from an officer’s deferred compensation account). In addition, we do not have an acceleration right to pay out account balances to the named executive officers upon a voluntary termination or a termination due to death or disability. However, the named executive officer may file an election at the time of the deferral to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his or her separation from service, including any of the types of termination above. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that the named executive officer has elected to receive payout of all deferred compensation upon his separation from service, including interest. The 2006 deferred compensation plan also provides our compensation committee with the option of terminating the plan 30 days preceding or within 12 months after a change of control and distributing the account balances (which option is assumed to have been exercised for purposes of the tabular presentation below). The circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout are described below and in the footnotes to the table (other than those described under “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Agreement,” which are incorporated by reference herein): VOLUNTARY TERMINATION Each of the named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone) holds equity awards that were issued under our existing incentive plans. Under these plans and the related award agreements, in the event of a voluntary termination of his or her employment with our company for any reason, each named executive officer (other than Mr. Malone) would typically only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his or her termination date. However, if Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment (and assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2021), (i) his 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee and (ii) his 2019 Maffei Term Options and 2020 Maffei Term Options would have been subject to pro rata vesting (based on the number of days elapsed during the four-year vesting period). Mr. Maffei would have been entitled to certain other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment with our company as of December 31, 2021. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Arrangement” above. Mr. Wendling, Mr. Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm are not entitled to any severance payments or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his or her employment. LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 75 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N TERMINATION FOR CAUSE All outstanding equity grants constituting options, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, and all equity grants constituting unvested RSUs under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer who is terminated for “cause” (other than Mr. Maffei in the case of equity grants constituting vested options or similar rights). However, if Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated for cause after the close of business on December 31, 2021, his 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. The existing incentive plans, which govern the awards unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, define “cause” as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity; provided that, if such termination is within 12 months after a change in control (as described below), “cause” means a felony conviction for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement. With respect to Mr. Maffei’s equity grants, “cause,” as defined in the award agreement, means (i) Mr. Maffei’s willful failure to follow the lawful instructions of the board of directors of our company; (ii) the commission by Mr. Maffei of any fraud, misappropriation or misconduct that causes demonstrable material injury to our company or its subsidiaries; (iii) Mr. Maffei’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; or (iv) Mr. Maffei’s failure to comply in any material respect with any written agreement between him and our company or any of our subsidiaries if such failure causes demonstrable material injury to our company or any of our subsidiaries, except that Mr. Maffei is entitled to certain procedural and cure rights relating to a termination for cause, except in the case of a termination for cause based on a felony conviction. Mr. Maffei has certain continuing rights to exercise vested options or similar rights following a termination for cause under his equity award agreements. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Arrangement” above. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR GOOD REASON Mr. Malone does not have any outstanding equity awards. As of December 31, 2021, Mr. Maffei’s unvested equity awards consisted of the 2019 Maffei Term Options, the 2020 Maffei Term Options and the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs. Upon a termination of his employment by our company without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), the 2019 Maffei Term Options and 2020 Maffei Term Options would have vested in full and, assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2021, his 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Each of Mr. Malone and Mr. Maffei is entitled to severance payments and/or other benefits upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Arrangement” above. As of December 31, 2021, Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s only unvested equity awards were their 2020 NEO Multiyear Options and 2021 Chief RSUs. Ms. Wilm’s only unvested equity awards as of December 31, 2021 were her 2019 multi-year stock option award, 2020 NEO Multiyear Options and 2021 Chief RSUs. Upon a termination of employment without cause, Ms. Wilm’s 2019 multi-year stock option award and the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options provide for vesting of a pro rata portion of each vesting tranche of the applicable award (based on the number of days that have elapsed from the grant date through the termination date, plus an additional 365 days, over the applicable tranche’s vesting period). Upon a termination without cause as of December 31, 2021, the 2021 Chief RSUs held by these officers would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. None of Messrs. Wendling, Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm is entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a termination without cause. DEATH In the event of death of any of the named executive officers, the existing incentive plans and applicable award agreements would have provided for vesting of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards (except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s death occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2021, the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee). Each of Mr. Malone and Mr. Maffei is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits if he dies while employed by our company. See 7 6 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements— Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Arrangement” above. No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to life insurance policies, which we make available to all our employees. DISABILITY If the employment of any of the named executive officers had been terminated due to disability, which is defined in the existing incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements would have provided for vesting of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards (except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s termination due to disability occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2021, the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee). Each of Mr. Malone and Mr. Maffei is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment due to disability. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei— 2019 Employment Arrangement” above. No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to short-term and long-term disability policies, which we make available to all our employees. CHANGE IN CONTROL In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting of any outstanding options (other than the 2019 Maffei Term Options and the 2020 Maffei Term Options) and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards held by the named executive officers. A change in control is generally defined as: • The acquisition by a non-exempt person (as defined in the incentive plans) of beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of our company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, other than pursuant to a transaction approved by our board of directors. • The individuals constituting our board of directors over any two consecutive years cease to constitute at least a majority of the board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the board to approve new members by approval of at least two-thirds of the remaining directors. • Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes the persons who were common stockholders of our company immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the company or the dissolution of the company. In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, our compensation committee may determine not to accelerate the existing equity awards of the named executive officers if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing awards. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that our named executive officers’ existing unvested equity awards (other than the 2019 Maffei Term Options and the 2020 Maffei Term Options) would vest at 100% of target performance in the case of a change in control described in the last bullet. A change in control (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) of our company would provide Mr. Maffei with a short time period during which to exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason, which would result in vesting of his 2019 Maffei Term Options and 2020 Maffei Term Options. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason in connection with a change in control.

See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements— John C. Malone” above. Pursuant to the amended Qurate Retail Services Agreement, 25% of such lump sum severance payment would have been allocable to Qurate Retail. (2) As described above, Mr. Malone began receiving 240 consecutive monthly installment severance payments in February 2009 pursuant to the terms of his amended employment agreement. The number included in the table represents the aggregate amount of the payments remaining as of December 31, 2021. With respect to periods following the termination of his employment, the foregoing payments are conditioned on Mr. Malone’s compliance with the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non- interference covenants contained in his employment agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone” above. (3) As described above, Mr. Malone began receiving 240 consecutive monthly payments of his deferred compensation plus interest, in February 2009 pursuant to the terms of his amended employment agreement, which our company assumed in 2013. The number included in the table represents the aggregate amount of these payments remaining as of December 31, 2021. With respect to periods following the termination of his employment, the foregoing payments are conditioned on Mr. Malone’s compliance with the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants contained in his employment agreement. If Mr. Malone’s employment had been terminated, as of December 31, 2021, as a result of his death, his beneficiaries would have instead been entitled to a lump sum payment of the unamortized principal balance of the remaining deferred compensation payments, and the compliance conditions described above would be inapplicable. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone” above. (4) If Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) as of December 31, 2021, he would have been entitled to receive in a lump sum a prorated amount of $17 million, with up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See 7 8 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Arrangement” above. Liberty Media is responsible for paying the full severance payment and each of the Service Companies would be responsible for reimbursing us for their allocable portion of this payment. Therefore, the table above reflects only Liberty Media’s allocable portion (which was 41% as of December 31, 2021) of such amount. (5) If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated by Liberty Media as of December 31, 2021 without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control), in each case, subject to execution of a mutual release, or due to Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, he would have been entitled to receive (i) a payment of two times his 2021 base salary payable in 24 equal monthly installments, (ii) fully vested shares of common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $35 million, (iii) a lump sum payment of an amount equal to two times his average annual bonus paid for the two calendar years prior to separation, but in no event an amount that is less than two times his aggregate target bonus of $17 million and (iv) a lump sum cash payment equal to the greater of (x) $17 million or (y) the annual cash performance bonus otherwise payable for the year of termination, in each case, prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within the year of termination, with up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Employment Arrangement” above. Liberty Media is responsible for paying the full severance payment and each of the Service Companies would be responsible for reimbursing us for their allocable portion of this payment. Therefore, the table above reflects only Liberty Media’s allocable portion (which was 41% as of December 31, 2021) of such amount. The amount in the table does not include the lump sum cash payment described in (iv) because Mr. Maffei had already been paid his 2021 cash bonus prior to December 31, 2021. (6) Under the 2006 deferred compensation plan, we do not and Qurate Retail does not have an acceleration right to pay out account balances to Messrs. Maffei or Wendling upon a termination of employment. However, Messrs. Maffei and Wendling had the right to file an election at the time of his initial deferral to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his separation from service, including under the termination scenarios in the table above. For purposes of the tabular presentation above, we have assumed that each of Messrs. Maffei and Wendling has elected to receive payout upon a separation from service of all deferred compensation, including interest. (7) The 2006 deferred compensation plan provides our compensation committee with the option of terminating the plan 30 days preceding or within 12 months after a change of control of Liberty Media and distributing the account balances (which option is assumed to have been exercised for purposes of the tabular presentation above). (8) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2021 and (ii) the number of unvested options and RSUs that would vest pursuant to the following: If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated without good reason as of December 31, 2021, he would have been entitled to pro rata vesting of the 2019 Maffei Term Options and the 2020 Maffei Term Options (based on the number of days that had elapsed over the four-year vesting period). Also, assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2021, the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and the 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Because the exercise price of the 2019 Maffei Term Options related to BATRK shares is more than the closing market price of BATRK shares on December 31, 2021, no value has been included for these awards in the table. As described above, in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2021 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our compensation committee vested all of the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and all of the 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. (9) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2021 and (ii) the number of unvested RSUs that would vest pursuant to the following: If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated for cause, he would have forfeited his 2019 Maffei Term Options and his 2020 Maffei Term Options, and, assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2021, the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and the 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. As described above, in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2021 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” our compensation committee vested all of the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and all of the 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. (10) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2021 and (ii) the number of unvested options and RSUs that would vest pursuant to the following: If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) (whether before or within a specific period following a change in control) or due to Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, his 2019 Maffei Term Options and his 2020 Maffei Term Options would have vested in full and, assuming such terminations occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2021, the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and the 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Because the exercise price of the 2019 Maffei Term Options related to BATRK shares is more than the closing market price of BATRK shares on December 31, 2021, no value has been included for these awards in the table. As described above, in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2021 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our compensation committee vested all of the 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and all of the 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 79 EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N (11) Based on the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2021 and the number of 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs. As described above, our compensation committee vested Mr. Maffei at 100% of his 2021 Maffei FWONK RSUs and his 2021 Maffei BATRK RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. A change in control (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) of our company would provide Mr. Maffei with a short time period during which to exercise his rights to terminate his employment for good reason, which would result in vesting of his 2019 Maffei Term Options and his 2020 Maffei Term Options. For purposes of the tabular presentation above, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason in connection with a change in control of our company. (12) If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated at our company’s election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) or by reason of disability, as of December 31, 2021, he would have been entitled to receive personal use of the corporate aircraft for 120 hours over a 12-month period. Perquisite amount of $710,874 represents the maximum potential cost of using the corporate aircraft for 120 hours based on an hourly average of the incremental cost of use of the corporate aircraft. The table above reflects only Liberty Media’s allocable portion of such amount (which was 41% as of December 31, 2021). (13) Each of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s vested options would remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance with their terms in the event each of Messrs. Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s employment had been terminated by him as of December 31, 2021. Ms. Wilm did not have any vested options as of December 31, 2021. The value of each of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s vested options are included in the table. If Messrs. Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated by him or her as of December 31, 2021, all of the 2021 Chief RSUs, the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options and Ms. Wilm’s stock options granted in 2019 would have been forfeited. (14) If each of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm was terminated by Liberty Media for “cause” as of December 31, 2021, all of his or her outstanding option and RSU grants would have been forfeited. (15) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by such named executive officer as of December 31, 2021, (ii) the number of unvested options held by each named executive officer as of December 31, 2021 that would have vested pursuant to the forward vesting provisions in such named executive officer’s award agreements if he or she were terminated without cause as of December 31, 2021 and (iii) the number of 2021 Chief RSUs held by Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm which would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. As described above, our compensation committee vested 100% of the 2021 Chief RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. (16) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by the named executive officers as of December 31, 2021 and (ii) the number of unvested options and unvested RSUs held by the named executive officers as of December 31, 2021 that would vest pursuant to the following: If Messrs. Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated due to death or disability as of December 31, 2021, all of the 2021 Chief RSUs, the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options and Ms. Wilm’s stock options granted in 2019 would have vested. (17) Upon a change of control, we have assumed for purposes of the tabular presentation above that all of the 2021 Chief RSUs, the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options and Ms. Wilm’s stock options granted in 2019 would have vested. The table includes the value of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s vested options. 8 0 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2021 with respect to shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans.

HEDGING DISCLOSURE We do not have any practices or policies regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or directors, or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities. CHANGES IN CONTROL We know of no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company. DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms filed with the SEC and written representations made to us by our executive officers and directors, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2021, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were met, with the exception of one Form 4 reporting one transaction by Mario J. Gabelli that was filed on an untimely basis. 9 2 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT C ERTA IN RELATIO NSHIP S AN D R E LAT E D PA RT Y T RA NS ACTI ON S Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed “related party transaction” (as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated by our board to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our company without the approval of the audit committee of our board or another independent body of our board designated to address such actual or potential conflicts. EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH JOHN C. MALONE On July 28, 2021, we entered into an Exchange Agreement (as defined below) with our Chairman of the Board, John C. Malone, whereby, among other things, Mr. Malone agreed to an arrangement under which his aggregate voting power in our company would not exceed 49% (the Target Voting Power) plus 0.5% (under certain circumstances). We have an ongoing stock repurchase program which permits us to purchase shares of Series A or Series C of any of our Liberty SiriusXM Group common stock, Braves Group common stock and Formula One Group common stock. In light of Mr. Malone’s current ownership interests in our company, absent the Exchange Agreement, continued repurchases of our company’s Series A shares pursuant to this program would be expected to have the effect of increasing Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in our company to greater than 50%. We and our board of directors believe it is in the best interests of our company and its stockholders to not have a single stockholder control greater than 50% of our aggregate voting power and to maintain flexibility with respect to future share repurchases and other transactions that may have an accretive voting power effect. A special committee of independent and disinterested directors was formed by our board of directors to consider a potential exchange arrangement between us and Mr. Malone and engaged independent legal counsel and financial advisors to assist it. The special committee recommended to our board of directors the approval of an exchange agreement, among us, Mr. Malone and a revocable trust of which Mr. Malone is the sole trustee and beneficiary (the JM Trust) (the Exchange Agreement). Our board of directors, upon the unanimous recommendation of the members of the special committee, approved the Exchange Agreement. The Exchange Agreement provides for exchanges by our company and Mr. Malone or the JM Trust of shares of LSXMB, BATRB, or FWONB for shares of LSXMK, BATRK, or FWONK, respectively, in connection with certain events, as described below. Accretive Event Exchange. In connection with any event that would result in a reduction in the outstanding votes of any of our tracking stock groups (each, a Group) or an increase of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power in any Group (other than a Voting Power Exchange (as defined below)) (an Accretive Event), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group would exceed the Target Voting Power plus 0.5%, Mr. Malone or the JM Trust will be required to exchange with our company shares of Series B common stock of such Group (Exchanged Group Series B Shares) for an equal number of shares of Series C common stock of the same Group so as to maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. For example, repurchases by us of shares of our capital stock, conversions of Series B shares of a Group into Series A shares of such Group, as well as purchases by Mr. Malone of our capital stock, in each case, having the effect on Mr. Malone’s voting power described above would be Accretive Events. Dilutive Event Exchange. From and after the occurrence of any Accretive Event, in connection with any event that would result in an increase in the outstanding votes of any Group or a decrease of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power in any Group (a Dilutive Event), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group falls below the Target Voting Power less 0.5%, Mr. Malone and the JM Trust may exchange with our company shares of Series C common stock of a Group for an equal number of shares of Series B common stock of the same Group equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Series B common stock of the same Group which would maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power and (ii) the LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / 93 CERTA IN RELATIO NSHI PS AN D R E L AT E D PARTY TR A NS ACT IO NS number of Exchanged Group Series B Shares at such time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. For example, exercises of stock options for, conversions of convertible securities into or issuances of new shares of our voting stock having the effect on Mr. Malone’s voting power described above would be Dilutive Events. Voting Power Exchange. On a quarterly basis or in connection with any annual or special meeting of our stockholders, if Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in our company is less than the Target Voting Power and would continue to be less than the Target Voting Power upon completion of a Voting Power Exchange, upon request by Mr. Malone or the JM Trust, we will be required to exchange with Mr. Malone and the JM Trust shares of Series B common stock of any Group on a one- for-one basis for shares of Series C common stock of the same Group (each such exchange, a Voting Power Exchange). The maximum number of shares that may be delivered to Mr. Malone or the JM Trust in any Voting Power Exchange is equal to the number of Exchanged Group Series B Shares at such time that may be delivered without resulting in Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in our company exceeding the Target Voting Power. If any Voting Power Exchange would result in Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to any Group exceeding the Target Voting Power, on any matter submitted by our company to the stockholders of that Group, voting together as a separate class, for approval, Mr. Malone and the JM Trust will vote, or cause to be voted, the portion of their voting power of such Group that exceeds the Target Voting Power in the same manner and in the same proportion as voted by the holders of voting securities of that Group other than Mr. Malone and his controlled affiliates. Fundamental Event Exchange. If we propose to consummate any combination, consolidation, merger, exchange offer, split- off, spin-off, rights offering or dividend, in each case, as a result of which holders of Series B common stock of one or more Groups are entitled to receive securities of our company, securities of another person, property or cash, or a combination thereof (a Fundamental Event) then, unless the consideration to be received by holders of Series B common stock and Series C common stock of such Group is identical, either (x) we will provide for Mr. Malone or the JM Trust to receive, in respect of each Group, as applicable, the same per share amount and form of consideration to be received by holders of Series B common stock of such Group in connection with such event for each Exchanged Group Series C Share (defined below) of the same Group or (y) immediately prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Event, we will deliver to Mr. Malone and the JM Trust all Exchanged Group Series B Shares in exchange for all Exchanged Group Series C Shares. Exchanged Group Series C Shares means the number of shares of Series C common stock of any Group then beneficially owned by Mr. Malone equal to the number of Exchanged Group Series B Shares of the same Group. In connection with certain Fundamental Events where Mr. Malone would beneficially own 40% or more of the aggregate voting power of the surviving or resulting company and serve as an officer or director, such company and Mr. Malone will negotiate an agreement to replicate the benefits and obligations of the Exchange Agreement. Restriction on Transfer. Mr. Malone may transfer his rights to the Exchanged Group Series B Shares only in limited circumstances and only to certain related permitted transferees who sign an agreement replicating the benefits and obligations of the Exchange Agreement. Termination. The Exchange Agreement will terminate with respect to any particular Group upon (i) the parties’ mutual consent, (ii) the execution of a successor exchange agreement between us and one or more proposed permitted transferees covering all shares of Series B common stock of such Group then beneficially owned by Mr. Malone and all Exchanged Group Series B Shares of such Group or (iii) Mr. Malone’s voting power in such Group falling below 20%. In addition, the Exchange Agreement will terminate in its entirety, upon (i) the parties’ mutual consent, (ii) the execution of a successor exchange agreement between us and one or more proposed permitted transferees covering all shares of our company’s Series B common stock then beneficially owned by Mr. Malone and all Exchanged Group Series B Shares or (iii) Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in our company falling below 20%. Expenses. Under the Exchange Agreement, we have agreed to pay (or reimburse) Mr. Malone for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Mr. Malone in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement, there have been no exchanges of our company’s shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

The Board shall have the same powers as the Committee with respect to awards to Nonemployee Directors and may exercise such powers in lieu of action by the Committee. ARTICLE IV SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted during the term of the Plan shall be 20,000,000 shares, plus the shares remaining available for awards under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date. Shares of Common Stock will be made available from the authorized but unissued shares of the Company or from shares reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market. The shares of Common Stock subject to (i) any Award granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan that shall expire, terminate or be cancelled or annulled for any reason without having been exercised (or considered to have been exercised as provided in Section 7.2), (ii) any Award of any SARs granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan the terms of which provide for settlement in cash, and (iii) any Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units under the Plan or the Prior Plan that shall be forfeited prior to becoming vested (provided that the Holder received no benefits of ownership of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units other than voting rights and the accumulation of Retained Distributions and unpaid Dividend Equivalents that are likewise forfeited) shall again be available for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares of Common Stock may not again be made available for issuance as Awards under the Plan: (a) shares of Common Stock not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding Option or SAR, (b) shares of Common Stock used to pay the purchase price or withholding taxes related to an outstanding Award, or (c) shares of Common Stock repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an Option purchase price. No Nonemployee Director may be granted during any calendar year Awards having a value determined on the date of grant that would be in excess of $1 million. 4.2 Adjustments. (a) If the Company subdivides its outstanding shares of any series of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of such series of Common Stock (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, or otherwise) or combines its A- 4 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT AN N EX A : L IBE RT Y M ED IA CO RP OR AT IO N 20 22 O MN IBU S IN C E NT IV E PLA N outstanding shares of any series of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of such series of Common Stock (by reverse stock split, reclassification, or otherwise) or if the Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock redemption, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase such series of Common Stock or other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations other than those which constitute Approved Transactions, adjustments with respect to which shall be governed by Section 10.1(b)) affects any series of Common Stock so that an adjustment is required to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee, in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate, shall make such adjustments to any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of stock which thereafter may be awarded, optioned or otherwise made subject to the benefits contemplated by the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares of stock subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the purchase or exercise price and the relevant appreciation base with respect to any of the foregoing, provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. The Committee may, if deemed appropriate, provide for a cash payment to any Holder of an Award in connection with any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.2. (b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee shall be authorized, in its discretion, (i) to provide, prior to the transaction, for the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, the Award and, if the transaction is a cash merger, provide for the termination of any portion of the Award that remains unexercised at the time of such transaction, or (ii) to cancel any such Awards and to deliver to the Holders cash in an amount that the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the fair market value of such Awards on the date of such event, which in the case of Options or SARs shall be the excess of the Fair Market Value (as determined in sub-section (ii) of the definition of such term) of Common Stock on such date over the purchase price of the Options or the base price of the SARs, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, if the purchase price of the Options or base price of the SARs, as applicable, is greater than such Fair Market Value, the Options or SARs may be canceled for no consideration pursuant to this section. (c) No adjustment or substitution pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made in a manner that results in noncompliance with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable. ARTICLE V ELIGIBILITY 5.1 General.

An Option granted under the Plan shall become (and remain) exercisable during the term of the Option to the extent provided in the applicable Agreement and the Plan and, unless the Agreement otherwise provides, LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / A-5 ANNEX A: LI BERT Y ME DIA CO R P OR AT ION 20 2 2 O MN IBUS I NC E NTI V E P LA N may be exercised to the extent exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during such term; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of an Option, the Committee, at any time before complete termination of such Option, may accelerate the time or times at which such Option may be exercised in whole or in part (without reducing the term of such Option). 6.5 Manner of Exercise. (a) Form of Payment. An Option shall be exercised by written notice to the Company upon such terms and conditions as the Agreement may provide and in accordance with such other procedures for the exercise of Options as the Committee may establish from time to time. The method or methods of payment of the purchase price for the shares to be purchased upon exercise of an Option and of any amounts required by Section 10.9 shall be determined by the Committee and may consist of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) promissory note (subject to applicable law), (iv) whole shares of any series of Common Stock, (v) the withholding of shares of the applicable series of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of the Option, (vi) the delivery, together with a properly executed exercise notice, of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the purchase price, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or such other consideration and method of payment as may be permitted for the issuance of shares under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The permitted method or methods of payment of the amounts payable upon exercise of an Option, if other than in cash, shall be set forth in the applicable Agreement and may be subject to such conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, shares of any series of Common Stock delivered in payment of all or any part of the amounts payable in connection with the exercise of an Option, and shares of any series of Common Stock withheld for such payment, shall be valued for such purpose at their Fair Market Value as of the exercise date. Issuance of Shares. The Company shall effect the transfer of the shares of Common Stock purchased under (c) the Option as soon as practicable after the exercise thereof and payment in full of the purchase price therefor and of any amounts required by Section 10.9, and within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books of the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) no Holder or other Person exercising an Option shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an Option granted under the Plan until due exercise and full payment has been made, and (ii) no adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such due exercise and full payment. ARTICLE VII SARS 7.1 Grant of SARs. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, SARs may be granted by the Committee to such eligible Persons in such numbers, with respect to any specified series of Common Stock, and at such times during the term of the Plan as the Committee shall determine. A SAR may be granted to a Holder of an Option (hereinafter called a “related Option”) with respect to all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the related Option (a “Tandem SAR”) or may be granted separately to an eligible Person (a “Free Standing SAR”). Subject to the limitations of the Plan, SARs shall be exercisable in whole or in part upon notice to the Company upon such terms and conditions as are provided in the Agreement. 7.2 Tandem SARs. A Tandem SAR may be granted either concurrently with the grant of the related Option or at any time thereafter prior to the complete exercise, termination, expiration or cancellation of such related Option. Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only at the time and to the extent that the related Option is exercisable (and may be subject to such additional limitations on exercisability as the Agreement may provide) and in no event after the complete termination or full exercise of the related Option. Upon the exercise or termination of the related Option, the Tandem SARs with respect thereto shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the related Option was so exercised or terminated. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, upon the exercise of a Tandem SAR and unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, for each share of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the Tandem SAR is being exercised, consideration (in the form determined as provided in Section 7.4) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the Tandem SAR was granted on the date of exercise over the related Option purchase price per share, and (ii) the related A- 6 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT AN N EX A : L IBE RT Y M ED IA CO RP OR AT IO N 20 22 O MN IBU S IN C E NT IV E PLA N Option with respect thereto shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Tandem SAR was so exercised. 7.3 Free Standing SARs.

The base price of a Free Standing SAR may be no less than the Fair Market Value of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the Free Standing SAR was granted as of the date the Free Standing SAR is granted. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, upon the exercise of a Free Standing SAR and unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, for each share of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the Free Standing SAR is being exercised, consideration (in the form determined as provided in Section 7.4) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the Free Standing SAR was granted on the date of exercise over the base price per share of such Free Standing SAR. The term of a Free Standing SAR may not exceed ten years. However, if the term of a Free Standing SAR expires when trading in the Common Stock is prohibited by law or the Company’s insider trading policy, then the term of such Free Standing SAR shall expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition. 7.4 Consideration. The consideration to be received upon the exercise of a SAR by the Holder shall be paid in cash, shares of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR was granted (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of such SAR), a combination of cash and such shares of the applicable series of Common Stock or such other consideration, in each case, as provided in the Agreement. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of a SAR, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, the Holder will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, to the extent a Free Standing SAR is exercisable, it will be exercised automatically for cash on its expiration date. 7.5 Limitations. The applicable Agreement may provide for a limit on the amount payable to a Holder upon exercise of SARs at any time or in the aggregate, for a limit on the number of SARs that may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part for cash during any specified period, for a limit on the time periods during which a Holder may exercise SARs, and for such other limits on the rights of the Holder and such other terms and conditions of the SAR, including a condition that the SAR may be exercised only in accordance with rules and regulations adopted from time to time, as the Committee may determine. Unless otherwise so provided in the applicable Agreement, any such limit relating to a Tandem SAR shall not restrict the exercisability of the related Option. Such rules and regulations may govern the right to exercise SARs granted prior to the adoption or amendment of such rules and regulations as well as SARs granted thereafter. 7.6 Exercise. For purposes of this Article VII, the date of exercise of a SAR shall mean the date on which the Company shall have received notice from the Holder of the SAR of the exercise of such SAR (unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement). ARTICLE VIII RESTRICTED SHARES AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 8.1 Grant of Restricted Shares. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall designate those eligible Persons to be granted Awards of Restricted Shares, shall determine the time when each such Award shall be granted, and shall designate (or set forth the basis for determining) the Vesting Date or Vesting Dates for each Award of Restricted Shares, and may prescribe other restrictions, terms and conditions applicable to the vesting of such Restricted Shares in addition to those provided in the Plan. The Committee shall determine the price, if any, to be paid by the Holder for the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that the issuance of Restricted Shares shall be made for at least the minimum consideration necessary to permit such Restricted Shares to be deemed fully paid and nonassessable. All determinations made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be specified in the Agreement. 8.2 Issuance of Restricted Shares. An Award of Restricted Shares shall be registered in a book entry account (the “Account”) in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Shares shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, the Account, any statement of ownership representing the Restricted Shares that may be issued during the Restriction Period and any securities constituting Retained Distributions shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions), and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the applicable Agreement. 8.3 Restrictions with Respect to Restricted Shares. During the Restriction Period, Restricted Shares shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of the applicable series of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Shares, to receive and retain such dividends and distributions, as the Committee may LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / A-7 ANNEX A: LI BERT Y ME DIA CO R P OR AT ION 20 2 2 O MN IBUS I NC E NTI V E P LA N designate, paid or distributed on such Restricted Shares, and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of shares of the applicable series of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Shares; except, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the Restricted Shares until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled or waived; (ii) the Company or its designee will retain custody of the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period as provided in Section 8.2; (iii) other than such dividends and distributions as the Committee may designate, the Company or its designee will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and vesting, and other conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested, and such Retained Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in a separate account; (iv) the Holder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Shares or any Retained Distributions or such Holder’s interest in any of them during the Restriction Period; and (v) a breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Shares and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto. 8.4 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall designate those eligible Persons to be granted Awards of Restricted Stock Units, the value of which is based, in whole or in part, on the Fair Market Value of the shares of any specified series of Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, including any rules established pursuant to Section 8.5, Awards of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such terms, restrictions, conditions, vesting requirements and payment rules as the Committee may determine in its discretion, which need not be identical for each Award. Such Awards may provide for the payment of cash consideration by the Person to whom such Award is granted or provide that the Award, and any shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection therewith, if applicable, shall be delivered without the payment of cash consideration; provided, however, that the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in connection with an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be for at least the minimum consideration necessary to permit such shares to be deemed fully paid and nonassessable. The determinations made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be specified in the applicable Agreement. 8.5 Restrictions with Respect to Restricted Stock Units. Any Award of Restricted Stock Units, including any shares of Common Stock which are part of an Award of Restricted Stock Units, may not be assigned, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the shares are issued or, if later, the date provided by the Committee at the time of the Award. A breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions provided in the Plan or established by the Committee with respect to any Award of Restricted Stock Units will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units and any Dividend Equivalents with respect thereto. 8.6 Issuance of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units shall be issued at the beginning of the Restriction Period, shall not constitute issued and outstanding shares of the applicable series of Common Stock, and the Holder shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by such an Award of Restricted Stock Units, in each case until such shares shall have been issued to the Holder at the end of the Restriction Period. If and to the extent that shares of Common Stock are to be issued at the end of the Restriction Period, the Holder shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered thereby either (i) during the Restriction Period or (ii) in accordance with the rules applicable to Retained Distributions, as the Committee may specify in the Agreement. 8.7 Cash Payments. In connection with any Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units, an Agreement may provide for the payment of a cash amount to the Holder of such Awards at any time after such Awards shall have become vested. Such cash amounts shall be payable in accordance with such additional restrictions, terms and conditions as shall be prescribed by the Committee in the Agreement and shall be in addition to any other salary, incentive, bonus or other compensation payments which such Holder shall be otherwise entitled or eligible to receive from the Company. 8.8 Completion of Restriction Period. On the Vesting Date with respect to each Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms, and conditions, (i) all or the applicable portion of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall become vested, (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Shares and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall become vested to the extent that the Awards related thereto shall have become vested, and (iii) any cash amount to be received by the Holder with respect to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall become payable, all in accordance with the terms of the applicable Agreement. Any such Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Retained Distributions, and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents that shall not become vested shall be forfeited to the Company, and the Holder shall not A- 8 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT AN N EX A : L IBE RT Y M ED IA CO RP OR AT IO N 20 22 O MN IBU S IN C E NT IV E PLA N thereafter have any rights (including dividend and voting rights) with respect to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Retained Distributions, and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents that shall have been so forfeited. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide that the delivery of any Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Retained Distributions, and unpaid Dividend Equivalents that shall have become vested, and payment of any related cash amounts that shall have become payable under this Article VIII, shall be deferred until such date or dates as the recipient may elect. Any election of a recipient pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be filed in writing with the Committee in accordance with such rules and regulations, including any deadline for the making of such an election, as the Committee may provide, and shall be made in compliance with Section 409A. ARTICLE IX Cash Awards and Performance Awards 9.1 Cash Awards. In addition to granting Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units, the Committee shall, subject to the limitations of the Plan, have authority to grant to eligible Persons Cash Awards. Each Cash Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions, restrictions and contingencies, if any, as the Committee shall determine. The determinations made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be specified in the applicable Agreement. 9.2 Designation as a Performance Award. The Committee shall have the right to designate any Award of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Cash Awards as a Performance Award. 9.3 Performance Measures. The Committee may establish performance measures for purposes of grants of Performance Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan, each of these measures shall be defined by the Committee on a consolidated, group or division basis, on an absolute or relative basis or in comparison to one or more peer group companies or indices. The amount of cash or shares payable or vested pursuant to Performance Awards may be adjusted upward or downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee determines. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Performance Awards made pursuant to the Plan shall be determined by the Committee. 10.1 Acceleration of Awards. ARTICLE X GENERAL PROVISIONS (a) Death or Disability. If a Holder’s employment or service shall terminate by reason of death or Disability, notwithstanding any contrary waiting period, installment period, vesting schedule or Restriction Period in any Agreement or in the Plan, unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise: (i) in the case of an Option or SAR, each outstanding Option or SAR granted under the Plan shall immediately become exercisable in full in respect of the aggregate number of shares covered thereby; (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, the Restriction Period applicable to each such Award of Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have expired and all such Restricted Shares and any related Retained Distributions shall become vested and any related cash amounts payable pursuant to the applicable Agreement shall be adjusted in such manner as may be provided in the Agreement; and (iii) in the case of Restricted Stock Units, the Restriction Period applicable to each such Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed to have expired and all such Restricted Stock Units and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents shall become vested and any related cash amounts payable pursuant to the applicable Agreement shall be adjusted in such manner as may be provided in the Agreement. (b) Approved Transactions; Board Change; Control Purchase. In the event of any Approved Transaction, Board Change or Control Purchase, notwithstanding any contrary waiting period, installment period, vesting schedule or Restriction Period in any Agreement or in the Plan, unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise: (i) in the case of an Option or SAR, each such outstanding Option or SAR granted under the Plan shall become exercisable in full in respect of the aggregate number of shares covered thereby; (ii) in the case of Restricted Shares, the Restriction Period applicable to each such Award of Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have expired and all such Restricted Shares and any related Retained Distributions shall become vested and any related cash amounts payable pursuant to the applicable Agreement shall be adjusted in such manner as may be provided in the Agreement; and (iii) in the case of Restricted Stock Units, the Restriction Period applicable to each such Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed to have expired and all such Restricted Stock Units and any unpaid Dividend Equivalents shall become vested and any related cash amounts payable pursuant to the applicable Agreement shall be adjusted in such manner as may be provided in the Agreement, in each case effective upon the Board Change or Control Purchase or immediately prior to the Approved Transaction. The effect, if any, on a Cash Award of an Approved Transaction, Board Change or LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT IO N / A-9 ANNEX A: LI BERT Y ME DIA CO R P OR AT ION 20 2 2 O MN IBUS I NC E NTI V E P LA N Control Purchase shall be prescribed in the applicable Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that any or all outstanding Awards of any or all types granted pursuant to the Plan will not vest or become exercisable on an accelerated basis in connection with an Approved Transaction if effective provision has been made for the taking of such action which, in the opinion of the Committee, is equitable and appropriate to substitute a new Award for such Award or to assume such Award and to make such new or assumed Award, as nearly as may be practicable, equivalent to the old Award (before giving effect to any acceleration of the vesting or exercisability thereof), taking into account, to the extent applicable, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets into or for which the applicable series of Common Stock may be changed, converted or exchanged in connection with the Approved Transaction. 10.2 Termination of Employment or Service. (a) General. If a Holder’s employment or service shall terminate prior to an Option or SAR becoming exercisable or being exercised (or deemed exercised, as provided in Section 7.2) in full, or during the Restriction Period with respect to any Restricted Shares or any Restricted Stock Units, then such Option or SAR shall thereafter become or be exercisable, and the Holder’s rights to any unvested Restricted Shares, Retained Distributions and related cash amounts and any unvested Restricted Stock Units, unpaid Dividend Equivalents and related cash amounts shall thereafter vest, in each case solely to the extent provided in the applicable Agreement; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) no Option or SAR may be exercised after the scheduled expiration date thereof; (ii) if the Holder’s employment or service terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Option or SAR shall remain exercisable for a period of at least one year following such termination (but not later than the scheduled expiration of such Option or SAR); and (iii) any termination of the Holder’s employment or service for cause will be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(b). The effect on a Cash Award of the termination of a Holder’s employment or service for any reason, other than for cause, shall be prescribed in the applicable Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the discretion of the Committee, an Award may provide that a Holder’s service shall be deemed to have continued for purposes of the Award while a Holder provides services to the Company, any Subsidiary, or any former affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary. (b) Termination for Cause. If a Holder’s employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall be terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary for “cause” during the Restriction Period with respect to any Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units or prior to any Option or SAR becoming exercisable or being exercised in full or prior to the payment in full of any Cash Award (for these purposes, “cause” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in any employment or consulting agreement to which such Holder is a party or, in the absence thereof, shall include insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform such Holder’s duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity; provided, however, that if such termination occurs within 12 months after an Approved Transaction or Control Purchase or Board Change, termination for “cause” shall mean only a felony conviction for fraud, misappropriation, or embezzlement), then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, (i) all Options and SARs and all unpaid Cash Awards held by such Holder shall immediately terminate, and (ii) such Holder’s rights to all Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Retained Distributions, any unpaid Dividend Equivalents and any related cash amounts shall be forfeited immediately. (c) Miscellaneous. The Committee may determine whether any given leave of absence constitutes a termination of employment or service; provided, however, that for purposes of the Plan, (i) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days, and (ii) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company provided the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract, shall not be deemed a termination of employment. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and provided in the applicable Agreement, Awards made under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment or service so long as the Holder continues to be a Nonemployee Director or an employee or independent contractor of the Company or its Subsidiaries. 10.3 Right of Company to Terminate Employment or Service. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award, and no action of the Company or the Committee with respect thereto, shall confer or be construed to confer on any Holder any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to terminate the employment or service of the Holder at any time, with or A- 1 0 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT AN N EX A : L IBE RT Y M ED IA CO RP OR AT IO N 20 22 O MN IBU S IN C E NT IV E PLA N without cause, subject, however, to the provisions of any employment or consulting agreement between the Holder and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or in the case of a director, to the charter and bylaws, as the same may be in effect from time to time. 10.4 Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as set forth herein, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer, garnishment, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, garnish, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Person entitled to such benefits. 10.5 Written Agreement. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as the Committee shall approve from time to time in its discretion, specifying the terms and provisions of such Award which may not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that if more than one type of Award is made to the same Holder, such Awards may be evidenced by a single Agreement with such Holder. Each grantee of an Option, SAR, Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Award (including a Cash Award) shall be notified promptly of such grant, and a written Agreement shall be promptly delivered by the Company. Any such written Agreement may contain (but shall not be required to contain) such provisions as the Committee deems appropriate to insure that the penalty provisions of Section 4999 of the Code will not apply to any stock or cash received by the Holder from the Company. Any such Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time as approved by the Committee as contemplated by Section 10.7(b). 10.6 Nontransferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and expressly provided for in an Agreement, Awards are not transferable (either voluntarily or involuntarily), before or after a Holder’s death, except as follows: (a) during the Holder’s lifetime, pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, that is not contrary to the terms and conditions of the Plan or any applicable Agreement, and in a form acceptable to the Committee; or (b) after the Holder’s death, by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution, as may be the case. Any person to whom Awards are transferred in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall take such Awards subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any applicable Agreement. 10.7 Termination and Amendment. (a) General. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated as hereinafter provided, no Awards may be made under the Plan on or after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Plan may be terminated at any time prior to such date and may, from time to time, be suspended or discontinued or modified or amended if such action is deemed advisable by the Committee. (b) Modification. No termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Person to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted, adversely affect the rights of such Person with respect to such Award. No modification, extension, renewal or other change in any Award granted under the Plan shall be made after the grant of such Award, unless the same is consistent with the provisions of the Plan. With the consent of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (including Section 10.7(a)), the Committee may amend outstanding Agreements with any Holder, including any amendment which would (i) accelerate the time or times at which the Award may be exercised and/or (ii) extend the scheduled expiration date of the Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may, but solely with the Holder’s consent unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, agree to cancel any Award under the Plan and grant a new Award in substitution therefor, provided that the Award so substituted shall satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made. Nothing contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.7(b) shall be construed to prevent the Committee from providing in any Agreement that the rights of the Holder with respect to the Award evidenced thereby shall be subject to such rules and regulations as the Committee may, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, adopt from time to time or impair the enforceability of any such provision. 10.8 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company with respect to Awards shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including the effectiveness of any registration statement required under the Securities Act of 1933, and the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or association on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted. For so long as any series of Common Stock are registered under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with any legal requirements (i) to maintain a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to all shares of the applicable series of Common Stock that may be issuable, from time to time, to Holders under the Plan and (ii) to file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. LIBE RTY M EDI A C OR POR AT ION / A-11 ANNEX A: LI BERT Y ME DIA CO R P OR AT ION 20 2 2 O MN IBUS I NC E NTI V E P LA N 10.9 Withholding. The Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or pay cash in respect of any Award under the Plan shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. Federal, state and local withholding tax due at the time of an Award, upon the exercise of any Option or SAR or upon the vesting of, or expiration of restrictions with respect to, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units or the attainment of performance measures applicable to a Performance Award, as appropriate, may, in the discretion of the Committee, be paid in shares of Common Stock already owned by the Holder or through the withholding of shares otherwise issuable to such Holder, upon such terms and conditions (including the conditions referenced in Section 6.5) as the Committee shall determine. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee may, in its discretion, allow for tax withholding in respect of any Award up to the maximum withholding rate applicable to the Holder. If the Holder shall fail to pay, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment to the Company of, all such federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company, then the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Holder an amount equal to any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required to be withheld by the Company with respect to such Award. 10.10 Nonexclusivity of the Plan. The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including the granting of stock options and the awarding of stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 10.11 Exclusion from Other Plans. By acceptance of an Award, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Agreement, each Holder shall be deemed to have agreed that such Award is special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account, in any manner, as salary, compensation or bonus in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement or other benefit plan, program or policy of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. In addition, each beneficiary of a deceased Holder shall be deemed to have agreed that such Award will not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage, if any, provided by the Company on the life of the Holder which is payable to such beneficiary under any life insurance plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. 10.12 Unfunded Plan. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall be required to segregate any cash or any shares of Common Stock which may at any time be represented by Awards, and the Plan shall constitute an “unfunded” plan of the Company. Except as provided in Article VIII with respect to Awards of Restricted Shares and except as expressly set forth in an Agreement, no Holder shall have voting or other rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by an Award prior to the delivery of such shares. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall, by any provisions of the Plan, be deemed to be a trustee of any shares of Common Stock or any other property, and the liabilities of the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company to any Holder pursuant to the Plan shall be those of a debtor pursuant to such contract obligations as are created by or pursuant to the Plan, and the rights of any Holder, former service provider or beneficiary under the Plan shall be limited to those of a general creditor of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be. In its sole discretion, the Board may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations of the Company under the Plan, provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan. 10.13 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. 10.14 Accounts. The delivery of any shares of Common Stock and the payment of any amount in respect of an Award shall be for the account of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, and any such delivery or payment shall not be made until the recipient shall have paid or made satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any applicable withholding taxes as provided in Section 10.9. 10.15 Legends. Any statement of ownership evidencing shares of Common Stock subject to an Award shall bear such legends as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect or refer to any terms, conditions or restrictions of the Award applicable to such shares, including any to the effect that the shares represented thereby may not be disposed of unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company, that such disposition will not violate any federal or state securities laws. 10.16 Company’s Rights. The grant of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make reclassifications, reorganizations or other changes of or to its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its business or assets. A- 1 2 / 2022 PROXY STATEMENT AN N EX A : L IBE RT Y M ED IA CO RP OR AT IO N 20 22 O MN IBU S IN C E NT IV E PLA N 10.17 Section 409A. The Plan and the Awards made hereunder are intended to be (i) “stock rights” exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-1(b)(5), (ii) “short-term deferrals” exempt from Section 409A or (iii) payments which are deferred compensation and paid in compliance with Section 409A, and the Plan and each Agreement shall be interpreted and administered accordingly. Any adjustments of Awards intended to be “stock rights” exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-1(b)(5) shall be conducted in a manner so as not to constitute a grant of a new stock right or a change in the time and form of payment pursuant to Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v). In the event an Award is not exempt from Section 409A, (x) payment pursuant to the relevant Agreement shall be made only on a permissible payment event or at a specified time in compliance with Section 409A, (y) no accelerated payment shall be made pursuant to Section 10.1(b) unless the Board Change, Approved Transaction or Control Purchase constitutes a “change in control event” under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(5) or otherwise constitutes a permissible payment event under Section 409A and (z) no amendment or modification of such Award may be made except in compliance with the anti-deferral and anti-acceleration provisions of Section 409A. No deferrals of compensation otherwise payable under the Plan or any Award shall be allowed, whether at the discretion of the Company or the Holder, except in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. If a Holder is identified by the Company as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) on the date on which such Holder has a “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), any Award payable or settled on account of a separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (1) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Holder’s separation from service, (2) the date of the Holder’s death, or (3) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the Plan or any Award shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Award or the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in a separate agreement with the Holder, if any Award fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on any Holder under Section 409A, and the Holder shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its Affiliate for payment of any such tax, penalty or interest imposed by Section 409A. 10.18 Administrative Blackouts. In addition to its other powers hereunder, the Committee has the authority to suspend (i) the exercise of Options or SARs and (ii) any other transactions under the Plan as it deems necessary or appropriate for administrative reasons. 10.19 Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award shall be subject to recovery or clawback by the Company under any clawback policy adopted by the Company, and as may be required by any applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement. 10.20 Stock Ownership Guidelines. Any Award shall be subject to any applicable stock ownership guidelines adopted by the Company, as amended or superseded from time to time. 10.21 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make non- uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to the persons to receive Awards under the Plan, and the terms and provisions of Awards under the Plan.

F-3 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. See note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for an overview of accounting standards that we have adopted or that we plan to adopt that have had or may have an impact on our financial statements. Overview We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of media and entertainment companies. Our most significant operating subsidiary, which is a reportable segment, is Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Holdings”). Sirius XM Holdings operates two complementary audio entertainment businesses, Sirius XM and Pandora. Sirius XM features music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels and other content, as well as podcasts and infotainment services, in the United States on a subscription fee basis and is distributed through its two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Sirius XM also provides connected vehicle services and a suite of in-vehicle data services. The Pandora business operates a music, comedy and podcast streaming discovery platform. Pandora is available as an ad- supported radio service, a radio subscription service, called Pandora Plus, and an on-demand subscription service, called Pandora Premium. Formula 1 is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary and is also a reportable segment. Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors' Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers' Championship. The World Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of events (“Events”) taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration. We hold an ownership interest in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”), which is accounted for as an equity method investment at December 31, 2021. Live Nation is considered the world’s leading live entertainment company. As of December 31, 2021, Live Nation met the Company’s reportable segment threshold for equity method affiliates due to significant losses driven by COVID-19. Our “Corporate and Other” category includes a consolidated subsidiary, Braves Holdings, LLC (“Braves Holdings”) and corporate expenses. We also maintain minority positions in other public companies. As discussed in note 2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on April 15, 2016, Liberty completed the Recapitalization, which created three new tracking stock groups. A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or “track” the economic performance of a particular business or “group,” rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group (the “Braves Group”) and Formula One Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Therefore, the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Braves Group and Formula One Group do not represent separate legal entities, but rather represent those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to each respective group. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group’s stock or assets and therefore, do not own, by virtue of their ownership of a Liberty tracking stock, any equity or voting interest in a company, such as Sirius XM Holdings or Live Nation, in which Liberty holds an interest that is attributed to a Liberty tracking stock group, such as the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Holders of tracking stock are also not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation. F-4 As part of the Recapitalization, the Formula One Group initially held a 20% intergroup interest in the Braves Group. As a result of a rights offering in May 2016 to holders of Liberty Braves common stock to acquire shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock, the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was adjusted to 9,084,940, representing a 15.1% intergroup interest in the Braves Group at December 31, 2019. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Formula One Group began purchasing shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock. As of December 31, 2019, the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was 493,278, representing a 0.2% intergroup interest in the Liberty SiriusXM Group. On April 22, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the immediate reattribution of certain assets and liabilities between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group (collectively, the “reattribution”). The assets reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, valued at $2.8 billion, consisted of: • Liberty’s entire Live Nation stake, consisting of approximately 69.6 million shares of Live Nation common stock; • a newly-created Formula One Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 5.3 million notional shares of Liberty Formula One common stock, to cover exposure under Liberty’s 1.375% cash convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”); the bond hedge and warrants associated with the Convertible Notes; the entire Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 1.9 million notional shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, thereby eliminating the Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest; and a portion, consisting of approximately 2.3 million notional shares of Liberty Braves common stock, of the Formula One Group’s intergroup interest in the Braves Group, to cover exposure under the Convertible Notes. • • • The reattributed liabilities, valued at $1.3 billion, consisted of: the Convertible Notes; • • Liberty’s 2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048; and • Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation (“Live Nation Margin Loan”). Similarly, $1.5 billion of net asset value has been reattributed from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, comprised of: • • a call spread between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to 34.8 million of the Live Nation shares that were reattributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group; and a net cash payment of $1.4 billion from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, which was funded by a combination of (x) cash on hand, (y) an additional $400 million drawn from the Company’s existing margin loan secured by shares of common stock of Sirius XM Holdings, and (z) the creation of an intergroup loan obligation from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group in the principal amount of $750 million, plus interest thereon, which was repaid with the proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering described below (the “Intergroup Loan”). The reattribution is reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a prospective basis. The term “Liberty SiriusXM Group” does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of December 31, 2021, the Liberty SiriusXM Group is primarily comprised of Liberty’s interests in Sirius XM Holdings and Live Nation, corporate cash, Liberty’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 and related financial instruments, Liberty’s 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, Liberty’s 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, Liberty’s 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049, Liberty’s 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and margin loan obligations incurred by wholly-owned special purpose subsidiaries of Liberty. As of December 31, 2021, the Liberty SiriusXM Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $598 million, which includes $191 million of subsidiary cash. On February 1, 2019, Sirius XM Holdings acquired Pandora Media, Inc., which continues to operate as Pandora Media, LLC (“Pandora”). See F-5 note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the acquisition of Pandora. Additionally, the Liberty SiriusXM Group holds intergroup interests in the Formula One Group and Braves Group of approximately 2.2% and 3.7%, respectively, valued at $313 million and $66 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The term “Braves Group” does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of December 31, 2021, the Braves Group is primarily comprised of Braves Holdings, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC,” the “Braves,” or the “Atlanta Braves”) and certain assets and liabilities associated with ANLBC’s stadium and mixed use development project (the “Development Project”) and corporate cash. As of December 31, 2021, the Braves Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $142 million, which includes $58 million of subsidiary cash. Additionally, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group retain intergroup interests in the Braves Group. The term “Formula One Group” does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of December 31, 2021, the Formula One Group is primarily comprised of all of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Liberty other than those specifically attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group, including Liberty’s interests in Formula 1 and Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation, cash and Liberty’s 1% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023. The Formula One Group also has an intergroup interest in the Braves Group of approximately 11.0%, valued at $191 million as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Formula One Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,074 million, which includes $709 million of subsidiary cash. On April 22, 2020, the Company’s board of directors authorized management of the Company to cause subscription rights (the “Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights”) to purchase shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“LSXMK”), in a rights offering (the “LSXMK rights offering”) to be distributed to holders of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and LSXMK. In the LSXMK rights offering, Liberty distributed 0.0939 of a Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right for each share of Series A, Series B or Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 13, 2020. Fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights were rounded up to the nearest whole right. Each whole Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right entitled the holder to purchase, pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, one share of LSXMK at a subscription price of $25.47, which was equal to an approximate 20% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of LSXMK for the 3-day trading period ending on and including May 8, 2020. Each Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right also entitled the holder to subscribe for additional shares of LSXMK that were unsubscribed for in the LSXMK rights offering pursuant to an oversubscription privilege. The LSXMK rights offering commenced on May 18, 2020, which was also the ex-dividend date for the distribution of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. The LSXMK rights offering expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 5, 2020 and was fully subscribed with 29,594,089 shares of LSXMK issued to those rightsholders exercising basic and, if applicable, oversubscription privileges. The proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering, which aggregated approximately $754 million, were used to repay the outstanding balance on the Intergroup Loan and accrued interest. In December 2019, Chinese officials reported a novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”). COVID-19 has since spread internationally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization assessed COVID-19 as a global pandemic, causing many countries throughout the world to take aggressive actions, including imposing travel restrictions and stay- at-home orders, closing public attractions and restaurants, and mandating social distancing practices. As a result, the start of the 2020 Formula 1 race calendar, comprised of 17 Events, and the Major League Baseball season, comprised of 60 regular season games, were delayed until the beginning of July 2020 and end of July 2020, respectively. In addition, in mid-March 2020, Live Nation suspended all large-scale live entertainment events due to COVID-19. The 2021 regular baseball season was comprised of 160 games, which is the same number of regular season games held in years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Formula 1 originally scheduled 23 Events in 2021, and after a number of Events were cancelled and/or replaced, a record 22 Events took place. Braves Holdings and Formula 1 have had limitations on the number of fans in attendance at certain games and Events in 2021, thereby reducing revenue associated with fan attendance. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, Live Nation saw a meaningful restart of its operations, with growth in ticket sales, new sponsor partners and the resumption of shows, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. It is unclear, as restrictions are lifted in many jurisdictions, whether and to what extent COVID-19 concerns will continue to impact the use of and/or F-6 demand for the entertainment, events and services provided by these businesses and demand for sponsorship and advertising assets. If these businesses continue to face cancelled events, closed venues and reduced attendance, the impact may substantially decrease our revenue. Due to the revenue reductions caused by COVID-19 to date, these businesses have looked to reduce expenses, but should such impacts continue, the businesses may not be able to reduce expenses to the same degree as any decline in revenue, which may adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow. Strategies and Challenges of Business Units Sirius XM Holdings. Sirius XM Holdings is focused on several initiatives to increase its revenue. Sirius XM Holdings regularly evaluates its business plans and strategy. Currently, its strategies include: • • • • • the acquisition of unique or compelling programming; the development and introduction of new features or services; significant new or enhanced distribution arrangements; investments in infrastructure, such as satellites, equipment or radio spectrum; and acquisitions and investments, including acquisitions and investments that are not directly related to its existing business. Sirius XM Holdings faces certain key challenges in its attempt to meet these goals, including: • • • • • • • its ability to convince owners and lessees of new and used vehicles that include satellite radios to purchase subscriptions to its service; potential loss of subscribers due to economic conditions and competition from other entertainment providers; competition for both listeners and advertisers, including providers of radio and other audio services; the operational performance of its satellites; the effectiveness of integration of acquired businesses and assets into its operations; the performance of its manufacturers, programming providers, vendors, and retailers; and unfavorable changes in legislation. Formula 1. Formula 1’s goal is to further broaden and increase the global scale and appeal of the FIA Formula One World Championship (the “World Championship”) in order to improve the overall value of Formula 1 as a sport and its financial performance. Key factors of this strategy include: • • • • • • continuing to seek and identify opportunities to expand and develop the Event calendar and bring Events to attractive and/or strategically important new markets outside of Europe, which typically have higher race promotion fees, while continuing to build on the foundation of the sport in Europe; developing sponsorship revenue, including increasing sales of Event-based packages and under the Global Partner program, and exploring opportunities in underexploited product categories; capturing opportunities created by media’s evolution, including the growth of social media and the development of Formula 1’s digital media assets; building up the entertainment experience for fans and engaging with new fans on a global basis to further drive race attendance and television viewership; and improving the on-track competitive balance of the World Championship and the long term financial stability of the participating Teams; and improving the environmental sustainability of Formula One and its related activities, targeting a net zero carbon footprint by 2030, 100% sustainable fuel by 2026 and sustainable race events by 2025, and building on Formula 1’s initiatives to fight inequality and improve the diversity and opportunity in Formula 1 at all levels.

Our consolidated revenue increased $2,037 million and decreased $929 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The 2021 increase was driven by increases at Formula 1, Sirius XM Holdings and Braves Holdings of $991 million, $656 million and $390 million, respectively. The 2020 decrease was driven by decreases at Formula 1 and Braves Holdings of $877 million and $298 million, respectively, partially offset by revenue growth at Sirius XM Holdings of $246 million. See “Results of Operations—Businesses” below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings. Operating income. Our consolidated operating income increased $1,800 million and decreased $1,293 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The 2021 increase was driven by $1,155 million, $478 million and $152 million increases in Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings operating results, respectively. The 2020 decrease was driven by $788 million, $403 million and $89 million decreases in Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings operating results, respectively. See “Results of Operations—Businesses” below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings. Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options and stock appreciation rights for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees, (2) phantom stock appreciation rights granted to officers and employees of certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to private equity plans and (3) amortization of restricted stock grants. We recorded $256 million, $261 million and $291 million of stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2021 as compared to 2020 is primarily due to a decrease of $21 million at Sirius XM Holdings, partially offset by increases of $6 million and $4 million at Braves Holdings and Formula 1, respectively. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2020 as compared to the prior year is primarily due to decreases of $12 million, $6 million and $6 million at Braves Holdings, Formula 1 and Sirius XM Holdings, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Sirius XM Holdings stock options and restricted stock units was $455 million. The Sirius XM Holdings unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years. As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty equity awards was approximately $49 million. Such amount will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years. See “Results of Operations—Businesses” below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings. Adjusted OIBDA. To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we also disclose Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges. Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and F-9 other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP’). The following table provides a reconciliation of Operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA: 2021 Years ended December 31, 2020 amounts in millions 2019 Operating income (loss) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Depreciation and amortization . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

See note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding these impairments. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Sirius XM Holdings reversed a pre-Pandora acquisition reserve of $16 million for royalties. This benefit is included in the revenue share and royalties line item in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Sirius XM Holdings recorded a $25 million litigation settlement for Do-Not-Call litigation. This charge is included in the selling, general and administrative expense line item in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The aforementioned litigation settlement and reserve have been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA for the corresponding periods as they were not part of Sirius XM Holdings’ normal operations for the periods, and these lump sum amounts do not relate to the on-going performance of the business. Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA increased $816 million and decreased $422 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increase in 2021 as compared to the prior year was primarily due to increases of $439 million, $195 million and $160 million in Formula 1, Sirius XM Holdings and Braves Holdings Adjusted OIBDA, respectively. The decrease in Adjusted OIBDA in 2020 as compared to the prior year was primarily due to decreases of $426 million and $103 million in Formula 1 and Braves Holdings Adjusted OIBDA, respectively, partially offset by a $122 million increase in Sirius XM Holdings Adjusted OIBDA. See “Results of Operations—Businesses” below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings.

Consolidated interest expense increased $8 million and decreased $23 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. During both of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, interest expense for the Liberty SiriusXM Group increased as compared to the corresponding prior years due to an increase in the average amount of corporate and subsidiary debt outstanding. During both of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, interest expense for the Formula One Group decreased as compared to the corresponding prior years due to a decrease in the average amount of corporate and subsidiary debt outstanding. As previously disclosed, certain debt was reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group effective April 22, 2020. The interest related to such debt is reflected in interest expense for the Formula One Group prior to the reattribution and in interest expense for the Liberty SiriusXM Group following the reattribution.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, Live Nation recorded significant losses during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments.

Changes in unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value are due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. Liberty issued $1 billion of cash convertible notes in October 2013 which are accounted for at fair value, as elected by Liberty at the time of issuance of the notes. At the same time, Liberty entered into a bond hedge transaction on the same amount of underlying shares. These derivatives are marked to fair value on a recurring basis. The primary driver of the change in the fair value of bond hedges is the change in the fair value of the underlying stock. Other unrealized gains (losses) are primarily driven by changes in the fair value of Formula 1’s interest rate swaps. Gains (losses) on dilution of investment in affiliate. The increase in gains on dilution of our investment in Live Nation during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was driven by a F-12 common stock offering of approximately 5.2 million shares by Live Nation during September 2021. As previously disclosed, Liberty’s investment in Live Nation was reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group effective April 22, 2020. Accordingly, any gains or losses on dilution of our investment in Live Nation are reflected in Formula One Group’s results prior to the reattribution and in Liberty SiriusXM Group’s results following the reattribution. Other, net. The increase in other, net expense in 2021, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was primarily driven by an increase in losses on extinguishment of debt related to Sirius XM Holdings. The decrease in other, net expense in 2020, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was primarily driven by a decrease in losses on extinguishment of debt related to Sirius XM Holdings. Income taxes. The Company had income tax expense of $45 million, income tax benefit of $44 million and income tax expense of $166 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was 6%, 3% and 32%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for all three years was impacted for the following reasons: • During 2021, our effective tax rate was lower than the 21% U.S. federal tax rate due to federal income tax credits, the settlement of state income tax audits at Sirius XM Holdings and a change in the Company’s foreign effective tax rate, partially offset by an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance, the effect of state income taxes and certain losses that are not deductible for income tax purposes. • During 2020, our effective tax rate was lower than the 21% U.S. federal tax rate due to additional tax expense related to an impairment loss on goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes and an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance, partially offset by tax benefits related to changes in the Company’s foreign effective tax rate and federal tax credits. • During 2019, our effective tax rate was higher than the 21% U.S. federal tax rate due to additional tax expense related to increases in the Company’s valuation allowance, changes in the Company’s effective state tax rate and the effect of state income taxes, partially offset by tax benefits related to deductible stock based compensation, earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates lower than the 21% U.S. federal tax rate and federal income tax credits. On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings governing the allocation of consolidated U.S. income tax liabilities and setting forth agreements with respect to other tax matters when one corporation owns stock representing at least 80% of the voting power and value of the outstanding capital stock of the other corporation. On November 1, 2021, Liberty entered into an exchange agreement with certain counterparties to acquire an aggregate of 43,658,800 shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock in exchange for the issuance by Liberty to the counterparties of an aggregate of 5,347,320 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock. Following the closing of the exchange on November 3, 2021, Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings became members of the same consolidated federal income tax group. The tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings, dated February 1, 2021, governs the allocation of consolidated and combined tax liabilities and sets forth agreements with respect to other tax matters. The tax sharing agreement and Sirius XM Holdings’ inclusion in the Company’s consolidated federal income tax group is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. See note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the tax sharing agreement. Net earnings. We had net earnings of $744 million, losses of $1,391 million and earnings of $347 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in net earnings was the result of the above- described fluctuations in our revenue, expenses and other gains and losses. F-13 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2021, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. Treasury securities, other government securities or government guaranteed funds, AAA rated money market funds and other highly rated financial and corporate debt instruments. The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, cash generated by the operating activities of our subsidiaries (to the extent such cash exceeds the working capital needs of the subsidiaries and is not otherwise restricted), proceeds from net asset sales, monetization of our public investment portfolio (including derivatives), debt borrowings and equity issuances, available borrowing capacity under margin loans, and dividend and interest receipts. As of December 31, 2021, Liberty had $217 million of unencumbered marketable equity securities. Liberty currently does not have a corporate debt rating. As of December 31, 2021, Liberty’s cash and cash equivalents were as follows: Cash and Cash Equivalents amounts in millions Liberty SiriusXM Group Sirius XM Holdings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Corporate and other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cash held by Formula 1 is accessible by Liberty, except when a restricted payment (“RP”) test imposed by the first lien term loan and the revolving credit facility at Formula 1 is not met. However, Formula 1 does not have the ability to make a RP to Liberty during the waiver period, as discussed below. Pursuant to the RP test, Liberty does not have access to Formula 1’s cash when Formula 1’s leverage ratio (defined as net debt divided by covenant earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for the trailing twelve months) exceeds a certain threshold. As of December 31, 2021, Formula 1 has not made any distributions to Liberty. If distributions are made in the future, the RP test, pro forma for such distributions, would have to be met. As of December 31, 2021, Liberty had $875 million available under Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings and $400 million available under Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation. Certain tax consequences may reduce the net amount of cash that Liberty is able to utilize for corporate purposes. Liberty believes that it currently has appropriate legal structures in place to repatriate foreign cash as tax efficiently as possible and meet the business needs of the Company. As stated in note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company, Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings are in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2021. Pursuant to an amendment to Formula 1’s Senior Loan Facility (as defined in note 9 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) on June 26, 2020, subject to compliance by Formula 1 with certain financial conditions, the net leverage financial covenant does not apply until it is tested for the period of four consecutive quarters ending with the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The relevant conditions applicable to Formula 1 include the maintenance of minimum liquidity (comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalent investments and available revolving credit facility commitments) of F-14 $200 million and certain restrictions on dividends, other payments and the incurrence of additional debt. On January 29, 2021, Braves Holdings amended one of the debt agreements of the mixed-use loans, modifying the calculation of the debt yield from June 30, 2021 through the quarter ending December 31, 2021, subject to certain other conditions. See Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for disclosures related to the anticipated effects of the transition away from London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark for establishing the rate of interest on Liberty’s margin loans, Sirius XM Holdings’ borrowings under its credit facility, Formula 1’s borrowings under its loan facility and Braves Holdings’ borrowings under its operating credit facilities.

These uses were primarily funded by $125 million of borrowings under the margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings, dividends from Sirius XM Holdings and cash on hand. Sirius XM Holdings’ primary uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2021 were the repayment of borrowings of debt, repurchase and retirement of outstanding Sirius XM Holdings common stock, additions to property and equipment and dividends paid to stockholders. The Sirius XM Holdings uses of cash were funded by borrowings of debt, cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from satellite insurance policies associated with SXM-7. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings declared a cash dividend each quarter, and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $268 million, of which Liberty received $210 million. Braves Holdings’ primary use of cash during the year ended December 31, 2021 was capital expenditures for continued expansion of the mixed-use development, funded primarily by cash on hand, excess cash from operations and net borrowings of debt. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Formula 1 generated cash from operations and did not have any material uses of cash. The projected uses of Liberty cash (excluding Sirius XM Holdings’, Formula 1’s and Braves Holdings’ uses of cash) are primarily the investment in new or existing businesses, debt service, including further repayment of the margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings and the potential buyback of common stock under the approved share buyback program. Liberty expects to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, borrowing capacity under margin loans and outstanding or new debt instruments, or dividends or distributions from operating subsidiaries. Liberty expects to receive quarterly cash dividends from Sirius XM Holdings, as well as its portion of the special cash dividend, as described below, which are non-taxable because Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings are members of the same consolidated F-15 federal income tax group. Net payments of income tax liabilities may be required to settle items under discussion with tax authorities. Sirius XM Holdings’ uses of cash are expected to be capital expenditures, including the construction of replacement satellites, working capital requirements, repurchases of outstanding Sirius XM Holdings common stock, interest payments, taxes and scheduled maturities of outstanding debt. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors expects to declare regular quarterly dividends. On January 26, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.0219615 per share of common stock, payable on February 25, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 11, 2022. On January 31, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors declared a special cash dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.25 per share of common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $1 billion, payable on February 25, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 11, 2022. Liberty expects Sirius XM Holdings to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, cash provided by operations and borrowings under its existing credit facility. Formula 1’s uses of cash are expected to be debt service payments and operating expenses. Liberty expects Formula 1 to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand and cash provided by operations. Braves Holdings’ uses of cash are expected to be expenditures related to the mixed-use development, debt service payments and operating expenses. Liberty expects Braves Holdings to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, cash provided by operations and through borrowings under construction loans. Braves Holdings’ operating cash flows were adversely impacted by COVID-19 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and may be impacted by labor disputes, which may require Braves Holdings to fund its projected uses of cash with other sources of liquidity. We believe that the available sources of liquidity are sufficient to cover our projected future uses of cash. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Material Cash Requirements Sirius XM Holdings has entered into various programming agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, Sirius XM Holdings’ obligations include fixed payments, advertising commitments and revenue sharing arrangements. Sirius XM Holdings’ future revenue sharing costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to estimate; therefore, they are not included in the schedule of material cash requirements below. The Atlanta Braves have entered into long-term employment contracts with certain of their players (current and former), coaches and executives whereby such individuals’ compensation is guaranteed. Amounts due under guaranteed contracts as of December 31, 2021 aggregated $285 million. See the table below for more detail. In addition to the foregoing amounts, certain players, coaches and executives may earn incentive compensation under the terms of their employment contracts. The Braves are under no legal obligation to pay Major League player salaries during any period that players do not render services during a labor dispute (including the ongoing lockout). F-16 Information concerning the amount and timing of required payments, both accrued and off-balance sheet, excluding uncertain tax positions as it is indeterminable when payments will be made, is summarized below.

Amounts do not assume additional borrowings or refinancings of existing debt. (2) Amounts (i) are based on our outstanding debt at December 31, 2021, (ii) assume the interest rates on our variable rate debt remain constant at the December 31, 2021 rates and (iii) assume that our existing debt is repaid at maturity. (3) Sirius XM Holdings has entered into various programming agreements under which Sirius XM Holdings’ obligations include fixed payments, advertising commitments and revenue sharing arrangements. In certain arrangements, the future revenue sharing costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to estimate; therefore, they are not included in the table above. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings has entered into certain music royalty arrangements that include fixed payments. (4) Includes amounts related to Sirius XM Holdings’ satellite and transmission, sales and marketing, satellite incentive payments, and other contractual commitments. Sirius XM Holdings satellite and transmission commitments are attributable to agreements with third parties to design, build and launch two new satellites, SXM-9 and SXM-10. Sirius XM Holdings has also entered into agreements to operate and maintain satellite telemetry, tracking and control facilities and certain components of its terrestrial repeater networks. Sirius XM Holdings sales and marketing commitments primarily relate to payments to sponsors, retailers, automakers, radio manufacturers and other third parties pursuant to marketing, sponsorship and distribution agreements to promote Sirius XM Holdings’ brands. Boeing Satellite Systems International, Inc., the manufacturers of certain of Sirius XM Holdings’ in-orbit satellites, may be entitled to future in-orbit performance payments upon XM-4 meeting its fifteen-year design life, which it expects to occur. Boeing may also be entitled to up to an additional $10 million if the XM-4 satellite continues to operate above baseline specifications during the five years beyond the satellite’s fifteen-year design life. Additionally, Sirius XM Holdings has entered into various agreements with third parties for general operating purposes. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Listed below are the accounting estimates that we believe are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported. All of these accounting estimates and assumptions, as well as the resulting impact to our financial statements, have been discussed with our audit committee. Non-Financial Instrument Valuations. Our non-financial instrument valuations are primarily comprised of our determination of the estimated fair value allocation of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations, our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other nonamortizable intangibles, such as trademarks, and our evaluation of the recoverability of our other long-lived assets upon certain triggering events. F-17 If the carrying value of our long-lived assets exceeds their estimated fair value, we are required to write the carrying value down to fair value. Any such writedown is included in impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of operations. A high degree of judgment is required to estimate the fair value of our long-lived assets. We may use quoted market prices, prices for similar assets, present value techniques and other valuation techniques to prepare these estimates. We may need to make estimates of future cash flows and discount rates as well as other assumptions in order to implement these valuation techniques. Due to the high degree of judgment involved in our estimation techniques, any value ultimately derived from our long-lived assets may differ from our estimate of fair value. As each of our operating segments has long- lived assets, this critical accounting policy affects the financial position and results of operations of each segment. As of December 31, 2021, the intangible assets not subject to amortization for each of our consolidated reportable segments were as follows (amounts in millions): Sirius XM Holdings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 15,112 3,956 Formula 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative basis, the Company reviews the business performance of each reporting unit and evaluates other relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indicated impairment exists for any of our reporting units. The Company considers whether there are any negative macroeconomic conditions, industry specific conditions, market changes, increased competition, increased costs in doing business, management challenges, the legal environments and how these factors might impact company specific performance in future periods. As part of the analysis, the Company also considers fair value determinations for certain reporting units that have been made at various points throughout the current and prior year for other purposes. If based on the qualitative analysis it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test. Useful Life of Broadcast/Transmission System. Sirius XM Holdings’ satellite system includes the costs of satellite construction, launch vehicles, launch insurance, capitalized interest, spare satellites, terrestrial repeater network and satellite uplink facilities. Sirius XM Holdings monitors its satellites for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. Sirius XM Holdings operates two in-orbit Sirius satellites, FM-5 and FM-6, which launched in 2009 and 2013, respectively, and estimates they will operate effectively through the end of their depreciable lives in 2024 and 2028, respectively. Sirius XM Holdings currently operates four in-orbit XM satellites, XM-3, XM-4, XM-5 and SXM-8. The XM-3 satellite, launched in 2005, reached the end of its depreciable life in 2020 and the XM-4 satellite, launched in 2006, reached the end of its depreciable life in 2021. The XM-5 satellite was launched in 2010, is used as an in-orbit spare for the Sirius and XM systems, and is expected to reach the end of its depreciable life in 2025. SXM-7 was launched into a geostationary orbit in December 2020 and in-orbit testing of SXM-7 began on January 4, 2021. During in-orbit testing of SXM-7, events occurred which caused failures of certain SXM-7 payload units. The evaluation of SXM-7 concluded that the satellite will not function as intended and the asset was fully impaired in 2021. The SXM-8 satellite was successfully launched into a geostationary orbit on June 6, 2021 and was placed into service on September 8, 2021 following the completion of in-orbit testing. The SXM-8 satellite replaced the XM-3 satellite, which remains available as an in-orbit spare, along with XM-5. Sirius XM Holdings has entered into agreements for the design, construction and launch of two satellites, SXM-9 and SXM-10. F-18 Sirius XM Holdings’ satellites have been designed to last fifteen-years. Sirius XM Holdings’ in-orbit satellites may experience component failures which could adversely affect their useful lives. Sirius XM Holdings monitors the operating condition of its in-orbit satellites and if events or circumstances indicate that the depreciable lives of its in-orbit satellites have changed, the depreciable life will be modified accordingly. If Sirius XM Holdings were to revise its estimates, depreciation expense would change. Income Taxes. We are required to estimate the amount of tax payable or refundable for the current year and the deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in our financial statements or tax returns for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. This process requires our management to make judgments regarding the timing and probability of the ultimate tax impact of the various agreements and transactions that we enter into. Based on these judgments we may record tax reserves or adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets to reflect the expected realizability of future tax benefits. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our inability to generate sufficient future taxable income or unpredicted results from the final determination of each year’s liability by taxing authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on our financial position. Results of Operations—Businesses Liberty SiriusXM Group Sirius XM Holdings Sirius XM Holdings operates two complementary audio entertainment business, Sirius XM and Pandora. Sirius XM features music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels and other content, as well as podcasts and infotainment services, in the United States on a subscription fee basis. Sirius XM’s premier content bundles include live, curated and certain exclusive and on demand programming. The Sirius XM service is distributed through its two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers, retailers and its website. The Sirius XM service is also available through a user interface called “360L,” that combines Sirius XM’s satellite and streaming services into a single, cohesive in-vehicle entertainment experience. Sirius XM’s primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of its customers subscribing to monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual plans. Sirius XM also derives revenue from advertising on select non-music channels, which is sold under the SXM Media brand, direct sales of Sirius XM’s satellite radios and accessories, and other ancillary services. As of December 31, 2021, Sirius XM had approximately 34.0 million subscribers. In addition to Sirius XM’s audio entertainment businesses, it provides connected vehicle services to several automakers. These services are designed to enhance the safety, security and driving experience of consumers. Sirius XM also offers a suite of data services that includes graphical weather, fuel prices, sports schedules and scores and movie listings, a traffic information service that includes information as to road closings, traffic flow and incident data to consumers with compatible in-vehicle navigation systems, and real-time weather services in vehicles, boats and planes. In May 2020, Sirius XM terminated the Automatic Labs Inc. (“Automatic”) service, which was part of its connected services business. Automatic operated a service for consumers and auto dealers and offered an install-it-yourself adapter and mobile application, which transformed vehicles into connected vehicles. Sirius XM also holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Canada”). Sirius XM Canada's subscribers are not included in Sirius XM’s subscriber count or subscriber-based operating metrics. Pandora operates a music, comedy and podcast streaming discovery platform, offering a personalized experience for each listener wherever and whenever they want to listen, whether through mobile devices, car speakers or connected devices. Pandora enables listeners to create personalized stations and playlists, discover new content, hear artist- and F-19 expert-curated playlists, podcasts and select Sirius XM content as well as search and play songs and albums on-demand. Pandora is available as (1) an ad-supported radio service, (2) a radio subscription service (Pandora Plus) and (3) an on- demand subscription service (Pandora Premium). As of December 31, 2021, Pandora had approximately 6.4 million subscribers. The majority of Pandora’s revenue is generated from advertising on its ad-supported radio service. Pandora also derives subscription revenue from its Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium subscribers. Pandora also sells advertising on audio platforms and in podcasts unaffiliated with Sirius XM Holdings. Pandora is the exclusive U.S. ad sales representative for SoundCloud Holdings, LLC (“SoundCloud”). Through this arrangement, Pandora offers advertisers the ability to execute campaigns in the U.S. across the Pandora and SoundCloud listening platforms. Sirius XM Holdings also has arrangements to serve as the ad sales representative for certain podcasts. In addition, through AdsWizz, Inc. (“AdsWizz”), Pandora provides a comprehensive digital audio advertising technology platform, which connects audio publishers and advertisers with a variety of ad insertion, campaign trafficking, yield optimization, programmatic buying, marketplace and podcast monetization solutions. As of December 31, 2021, Pandora had approximately 52.3 million monthly active users. In February 2020, Sirius XM Holdings completed a $75 million investment in SoundCloud. SoundCloud is a next-generation music entertainment company, powered by an ecosystem of artists, listeners, and curators on the pulse of what's new, now and next in music culture. SoundCloud’s platform enables its users to upload, promote, share and create audio entertainment. The minority investment complements the existing ad sales relationship between SoundCloud and Pandora. In June 2020, Sirius XM Holdings acquired Simplecast for $28 million in cash. Simplecast is a podcast management and analytics platform. In October 2020, Sirius XM Holdings acquired the assets of Stitcher from The E.W. Scripps Company and certain of its subsidiaries (“Scripps”) for a total consideration of $302 million, which included $266 million in cash and $36 million related to contingent consideration. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Stitcher did not achieve certain financial metrics, as a result of which, Sirius XM Holdings does not expect to pay to Scripps the 2021 portion of the contingent consideration associated with the transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings recognized a $17 million benefit related to the change in fair value of the 2021 portion of the contingent consideration. The acquisition of Stitcher, in conjunction with Simplecast, creates a full-service platform for podcast creators, publishers and advertisers. Refer to note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on these acquisitions. Results of Operations We acquired a controlling interest in Sirius XM Holdings on January 18, 2013 and applied purchase accounting and consolidated the results of Sirius XM Holdings from that date. The results presented below include the impacts of acquisition accounting adjustments in all periods presented. Sirius XM Holdings acquired Pandora on February 1, 2019. Although Pandora’s results are only included in Sirius XM Holdings’ results beginning on February 1, 2019, we believe a discussion of Sirius XM and Pandora’s combined results for all periods presented promotes a better understanding of the overall results of the combined businesses. For comparative purposes, we are presenting the pro forma results of Sirius XM Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2019. The pro forma financial information was prepared based on the historical financial information of Sirius XM Holdings and Pandora and assuming the acquisition of Pandora took place on January 1, 2017. The pro forma results primarily include adjustments related to amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation of property and equipment, acquisition costs and associated tax impacts. Pro forma adjustments are not included for the acquisitions of Simplecast and Stitcher. On November 1, 2021, Liberty entered into an exchange agreement with certain counterparties to acquire an aggregate of 43,658,800 shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock in exchange for the issuance by Liberty to the counterparties of an aggregate of 5,347,320 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock. Following the closing of F-20 the exchange on November 3, 2021, Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings became members of the same consolidated federal income tax group. The tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings, dated February 1, 2021, governs the allocation of consolidated and combined tax liabilities and sets forth agreements with respect to other tax matters. Also on November 1, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings entered into (i) an agreement with Liberty whereby Liberty agreed not to effect any merger with Sirius XM Holdings pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor to such statute) without obtaining the prior approval of a special committee of the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors, all of whom are independent of Liberty (the “Special Committee”) (or any successor special committee of Sirius XM Holdings’ independent and disinterested directors) and (ii) an agreement regarding certain tax matters relating to the exchange. Each of these agreements was negotiated by the Special Committee with Liberty. As of December 31, 2021, there is an approximate 19% noncontrolling interest in Sirius XM Holdings, and the net earnings of Sirius XM Holdings attributable to such noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the noncontrolling interest line item in the consolidated statement of operations.

Subscriber revenue increased 4% for both of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven F-21 by growth in Sirius XM’s average monthly revenue per subscriber of 5% and in Sirius XM’s self-pay subscriber base of 4%, driving higher self-pay revenue and U.S. Music Royalty Fees, partially offset by revenue generated from automakers offering paid promotional subscriptions. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by higher self-pay revenue as a result of increases in certain subscription plans and higher U.S. Music Royalty Fees due to a higher music royalty rate, partially offset by lower paid promotional revenue. Sirius XM Advertising revenue includes the sale of advertising on Sirius XM’s non-music channels. Advertising revenue increased 20% and decreased 23% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was due to higher advertising, primarily on news and sport channels, as Sirius XM continues to recover to pre-COVID levels. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to lower advertising spend as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sirius XM Equipment revenue includes revenue and royalties for the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories. Equipment revenue increased 16% and was flat for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by higher royalty revenue from new vehicle production as automakers pushed to get back to pre-COVID-19 manufacturing levels during the first half of 2021 and due to Sirius XM’s transition to a new generation of chipsets, partially offset by semiconductor supply shortages in the second half of 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020, increased original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) royalty revenue was offset by lower direct sales to customers and the loss of revenue resulting from the termination of the Automatic service. Sirius XM Other revenue includes service and advisory revenue from Sirius XM Canada, connected vehicle services, and ancillary revenue. Other revenue decreased 3% and 10% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by lower revenue generated by rental car arrangements. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven by lower revenue from Sirius XM’s connected vehicle services, rental car revenue and royalty revenue from Sirius XM Canada. Pandora subscriber revenue includes fees charged for Pandora Plus, Pandora Premium, Stitcher and Simplecast subscriptions. Pandora subscriber revenue increased 3% and decreased 2% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by the inclusion of Stitcher during the full year 2021 as well as a 3% increase in average subscribers from 2020. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to the expiration of the one-year promotional subscriptions generated through an agreement with T-Mobile. Pandora advertising revenue is generated primarily from audio, display and video advertising from on-platform and off-platform advertising. Pandora advertising revenue increased 30% and decreased 1% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by strong monetization of on platform programming to $102.74 per thousand hours, and higher off-platform revenue as well as a full year of Stitcher revenue. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to lower advertising as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in advertising revenue per thousand hours, partially offset by growth in Pandora’s off-platform advertising and the inclusion of revenue from Stitcher. Sirius XM Cost of services includes revenue share and royalties, programming and content costs, customer service and billing expenses and other ancillary costs associated with providing the satellite radio service. • Revenue Share and Royalties (excluding litigation settlements) includes royalties for transmitting content, including streaming royalties, as well as automaker, content provider and advertising revenue share. Revenue share and royalties increased 3% and 4% during 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increases were driven by overall greater revenue subject to royalties and revenue share. F-22 • Programming and Content includes costs to acquire, create, promote and produce content. Programming and content costs increased 14% and 1% during 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increases for both years were driven primarily by higher content licensing costs. The increase in 2020 was also driven by increased personnel-related costs, partially offset by one-time benefits for reduced sports programming as a result of shortened sports seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lower costs associated with hosting live events. • Customer Service and Billing includes costs associated with the operation and management of Sirius XM’s internal and third party customer service centers and Sirius XM’s subscriber management systems as well as billing and collection costs, bad debt expense and transaction fees. Customer service and billing expense increased 5% and decreased 2% during 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase for 2021 was driven by higher transaction costs, consulting and personnel-related costs, partially offset by lower bad debt expense and lower call center expense. The 2020 decrease was driven by reduced staffing resulting from stay at home orders issued in countries in which Sirius XM’s vendors operate call centers. • Other includes costs associated with the operation and maintenance of Sirius XM’s terrestrial repeater networks; satellites; satellite telemetry, tracking and control systems; satellite uplink facilities; studios; and delivery of Sirius XM’s Internet and 360L streaming and connected vehicle services as well as costs from the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories and provisions for inventory allowance attributable to products purchased for resale in Sirius XM’s direct to consumer distribution channels. Other costs of subscriber services increased 25% and was flat during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The 2021 increase was primarily driven by costs associated with cloud hosting, wireless connectivity for Sirius XM’s 360L platform, streaming content and connected vehicle services. During the year ended December 31, 2020, higher hosting and wireless costs associated with Sirius XM’s 360L platform and its streaming and connected vehicle services were offset by lower direct sales to consumers and reduced costs due to the termination of the Automatic service. Pandora Cost of services (excluding legal reserve) includes revenue share and royalties, programming and content costs, customer service and billing expenses and other ancillary costs. • Revenue share and royalties include licensing fees paid for streaming music or other content to Pandora’s subscribers and listeners as a well as revenue share paid to third party ad servers. Pandora makes payments to third party ad servers for the period the advertising impressions are delivered or click-through actions occur, and accordingly, Pandora records this as a cost of service in the related period. Revenue share and royalties increased 20% and 1% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was primarily due to higher royalty rates associated with owned and operated revenue as well as higher AdsWizz revenue, the inclusion of Stitcher for a full year and the growth in other off-platform revenue. The 2020 increase was attributable to the inclusion of Stitcher, partially offset by lower listening hours and the expiration during 2019 of certain minimum guarantees in direct license agreements with record labels. • Programming and content includes costs to produce live listener events and promote content. Programming and content increased 59% and 71% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was primarily attributable to additional live events in 2021, higher license costs and personnel-related costs driven by the inclusion of Stitcher for a full year. The 2020 increase was primarily due to increases in personnel related and content costs. • Customer service and billing includes transaction fees on subscription purchases through mobile app stores and bad debt expense. Customer service and billing decreased 1% and increased 2% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 decrease was primarily driven by lower bad debt expense, partially offset by higher transaction fees. The 2020 increase was primarily driven by higher bad debt expense, partially offset by lower transaction fees. • Other includes costs associated with content streaming, maintaining Pandora’s streaming radio and on-demand subscription services and creating and serving advertisements through third party ad servers. Other costs increased 10% and decreased 9% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as F-23  compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was primarily driven by higher streaming costs. The 2020 decrease was primarily driven by lower streaming costs due to lower listener hours and lower personnel related costs. Subscriber acquisition costs are costs associated with Sirius XM’s satellite radio and include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers, subsidies paid for chipsets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain radios and chipsets; product warranty obligations; and freight. The majority of subscriber acquisition costs are incurred and expensed in advance of acquiring a subscriber. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, subscriber acquisition costs decreased 10% and 15%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 decrease was driven by lower subsidies from contract improvements with certain automakers as well as lower costs resulting from the semiconductor supply shortages during 2021, partially offset by slightly higher OEM installations. The 2020 decrease was driven by a decline in OEM installations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as lower hardware subsidiaries as certain subsidy rates decreased. Selling, general and administrative (excluding litigation settlement) expense includes costs of marketing, advertising, media and production, including promotional events and sponsorships; cooperative and artist marketing; personnel related costs; facilities costs, finance, legal, human resources and information technology costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased 9% and decreased 1% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The 2021 increase was primarily due to higher brand media, streaming and trial-related direct marketing costs as well as higher personnel-related, consulting and technology costs, partially offset by lower charitable contributions. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven by lower personnel related costs, the closure of a sales and use tax audit in the second quarter of 2020 and lower travel and entertainment costs, partially offset by a $25 million contribution to a donor advised fund that will be the source of Sirius XM Holdings’ future charitable contributions, and higher legal costs. Other operating expense includes engineering, design and development costs consisting primarily of compensation and related costs to develop chipsets and new products and services. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, other operating expense increased 4% and decreased 9%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was driven by higher personnel-related costs, partially offset by lower research and development costs. The 2020 decrease was driven by lower personnel-related costs. Litigation settlements and reserves for the year ended December 31, 2020 relates to the reversal of a pre-Pandora acquisition reserve of $16 million for royalties. This benefit is included in the revenue share and royalties line item in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Sirius XM Holdings recorded a one-time $25 million litigation settlement for Do-Not-Call litigation. This charge is included in the selling, general and administrative expense line item in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The aforementioned litigation settlement and reserve have been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA for the corresponding periods as they were not part of Sirius XM Holdings’ normal operations and do not relate to the on-going performance of the business. Stock-based compensation decreased 9% and 7% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decreases are primarily due to decreases in Pandora’s stock-based compensation. Impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries include impairment charges associated with intangible assets, impairment charges, net of insurance recoveries, associated with the SXM-7 satellite, restructuring expenses associated with the abandonment of certain leased office spaces and acquisition costs. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings recorded $220 million of insurance recoveries, which offset the $220 million impairment recorded to the carrying value of the SXM-7 satellite after it experienced failures of certain payload units during in-orbit testing, restructuring costs of $25 million resulting from the termination of leased office space, acquisition costs of $12 million and reversed a $17 million liability related to the Stitcher acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Sirius XM Holdings recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $956 million related to the Pandora reporting unit, a $20 million impairment of Pandora’s trademark, costs associated with the termination of the Automatic service and costs associated with the acquisitions of Simplecast and Stitcher. F-24 Depreciation and amortization increased 5% and 4% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increases were due to higher depreciation expense related to additional assets placed in service. Formula One Group Formula 1. Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. The World Championship takes place on various circuits with various Events. Formula 1 derives its primary revenue from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of entering into race promotion, broadcasting and sponsorship arrangements. A significant majority of the race promotion, media rights (formerly referred to as broadcasting) and sponsorship contracts specify payments in advance and annual increases in the fees payable over the course of the contracts. The 2021 World Championship was originally scheduled to have 23 Events. Despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the cancellation and / or replacement of certain Events, the 2021 World Championship consisted of a record 22 Events. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the 2020 season was postponed, with certain Events being cancelled, certain new Events being added and others rescheduled to later dates. The 2020 World Championship revised calendar consisted of 17 Events.

In addition, broadcasting revenue was renamed media rights revenue. The components that were reclassified include fees for licensing commercial rights for Formula 2 and Formula 3 races, fees for the origination and support of program footage, fees for broadcast rights for Formula 2 and Formula 3 races, fees for F1 TV subscriptions and fees for advertising rights on Formula 1’s digital platforms. Accordingly, $65 million and $86 million of Other Formula 1 revenue has been reclassified to Primary Formula 1 revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to conform with the current presentation. Primary Formula 1 revenue is derived from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of race promotion fees (earned from granting the rights to host, stage and promote each Event on the World Championship calendar, fees from certain race promoters to license additional commercial rights from Formula 1 to secure Formula 2 and Formula 3 races at their Events and from technical service fees from promoters to support the origination of program footage), media rights fees (earned from licensing the right to broadcast Events and Formula 2 and Formula 3 races on television and other platforms, F1 TV subscriptions and other related services, the F-25 origination of program footage, footage from Formula 1’s archives and the licensing of radio broadcast and other ancillary media rights) and sponsorship fees (earned from the sale of World Championship and Event-related sponsorship rights and the servicing of such rights, rights to advertise on Formula 1’s digital platforms and at non-Championship related events). Primary Formula 1 revenue increased $821 million and decreased $721 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Race promotion revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year, driven by five more Events in 2021, with the 2021 World Championship including more non-European events. In addition, fan attendance increased at Events as 2021 progressed, with a return to full capacity crowds at a number of Events. In comparison to 2020, there were only a limited number of one-time changes to the contractual terms of Events in 2021 as a result of limitations on fan attendance. During the year ended December 31, 2021, a one-time settlement related to another Event, relieving a race promoter from its obligation to stage a race that was originally scheduled to be held in 2020, also contributed to the increase in race promotion revenue. Media rights revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year, driven by higher broadcasting fees in 2021 due to more Events, improved terms in certain new and renewed broadcasting agreements, other contractual rate increases, and strong growth in F1 TV subscription revenue. Sponsorship revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year, driven by revenue from new sponsors and the impact of five more Events in 2021. Race promotion revenue decreased during the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the prior year, due to the fact that fans were prohibited at all but three Events during 2020, which led to one-time changes in the contractual terms of the originally scheduled Events that remained on the revised 2020 calendar, and limited revenue from the other Events that were added to make up the 17 Events of the 2020 World Championship. Media rights revenue decreased as the altered schedule triggered lower broadcasting fees pursuant to the contractual terms within certain broadcasting agreements and also led to other one-time changes as certain broadcasting fees were renegotiated for 2020, leading to overall lower than originally contracted media rights revenue. Additionally, Formula 1 was prevented from delivering all of the elements of its typical sponsorship offering with the cancellation of certain Events to which contracted sponsorship inventory related, and with limited activities at the Events that have taken place due to the lack of fans and inability to operate services such as hospitality, leading to one-time changes in sponsorship contracts. These challenging circumstances led to a number of other one-time changes as certain sponsorship fees were also renegotiated for 2020, with revenue related to certain undelivered contract rights in 2020 being deferred into future years. Other Formula 1 revenue is generated from miscellaneous and ancillary sources primarily related to facilitating the shipment of cars and equipment to and from events outside of Europe, revenue from the sale of tickets to the Formula One Paddock Club at most Events, support races at Events, various television production activities and other ancillary operations. Other Formula 1 revenue increased $170 million and decreased $156 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was driven by hospitality revenue generated from the sale of tickets to the Formula One Paddock Club, which operated at 11 Events during 2021 compared to only one Event in 2020 due to COVID-19 related restrictions, higher licensing revenue from growth in gaming royalties and new contracts and higher freight and travel income from five more Events as well as more Events outside of Europe. Other Formula 1 revenue decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 as there were four fewer Events in 2020 and COVID-19 related restrictions and the related calendar changes led to lower revenue from most activities, including the non-operation of the Formula One Paddock Club at all but one Event where a limited service could be provided, reduced freight income, the non-operation of fan festivals and business forums, and lower F2 and F3 series income. These decreases were partially offset by increases in licensing and digital media income. Cost of Formula 1 revenue consists primarily of team payments. Other costs of Formula 1 revenue include hospitality costs, which are principally related to catering and other aspects of the production and delivery of the Paddock Club, and circuit rights’ fees payable under various agreements with race promoters to acquire certain commercial rights at Events, including the right to sell advertising, hospitality and support race opportunities. Other costs include annual fees payable to the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile, sponsorship commissions and those incurred in the provision and sale of freight, travel and logistical services, F2 and F3 cars, parts and maintenance services, television production and F-26 post-production services, advertising production services and digital and social media activities. These costs are largely variable in nature and relate directly to revenue opportunities. 2021 Years ended December 31, 2020 amounts in millions 2019 Team payments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Other costs of Formula 1 revenue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Team payments increased $357 million and decreased $301 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was primarily driven by the increase in Primary Formula 1 revenue and the associated impact on the calculation of variable Prize Fund elements, which are calculated with reference to Formula 1’s revenue and costs. The 2020 decrease was driven by the decrease in Primary Formula 1 revenue and other revenue and the associated impact on the calculation of variable Prize Fund elements, partially offset by one-time fees paid to teams upon signing the 2021 Concorde Agreement in 2020. Other costs of Formula 1 revenue increased $158 million and decreased $118 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was attributable to costs associated with the operation of the Paddock Club at 11 Events, and higher technical, freight and logistics, digital media and other related costs, driven by five more Events and the requirements of the differing race calendar in 2021. The 2020 decrease was driven by four fewer Events, fewer non-European Events, and the significantly reduced activities due to COVID-19. Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, legal, professional and other advisory fees, bad debt expense, rental expense, information technology costs, non-Event-related travel costs, insurance premiums, maintenance and utility costs and other general office administration costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $37 million and decreased $32 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was driven by higher personnel costs, discretionary marketing expenditures and professional fees. The 2020 decrease was driven by lower personnel costs and certain cost reduction initiatives while Events were not taking place and following the return to racing, resulting in lower legal and professional fees and lower discretionary marketing expenditures. Stock-based compensation expense relates to costs arising from grants of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock options and restricted stock units to members of Formula 1 management. Stock-based compensation expense increased $4 million and decreased $6 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2021 increase was due to a change in the vesting schedule of awards granted during the current year. The 2020 decrease was due to the vesting of outstanding awards and a decrease in the fair value of the underlying awards. Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization decreased $43 million and $17 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to decreases in amortization expense related to certain intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Formula 1 by Liberty. Braves Group Braves Holdings. Braves Holdings is our wholly owned subsidiary that indirectly owns and operates ANLBC and the FCL Braves. In addition, Braves Holdings indirectly owned and operated three Professional Development League F-27 Clubs (the Gwinnett Stripers, Mississippi Braves and Rome Braves) until they were sold in January 2022. Each club will remain affiliated with the Atlanta Braves during the 10-year license agreement term. ANLBC’s ballpark is located in Cobb County, a suburb of Atlanta. The facility is leased from Cobb County and Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority and offers a range of activities and eateries for fans. Braves Holdings and its affiliates participated in the construction of the new stadium and the construction of the adjacent mixed-use development project, which we refer to as the Development Project. Due to COVID-19, Major League Baseball postponed the start of the 2020 season until late July, resulting in a regular season of 60 games, without fans in attendance. In addition, the 2020 minor league season was cancelled. Braves Holdings did not generate material revenue from the Braves’ participation in the 2020 postseason since games were played without fans in attendance due to COVID-19. The 2021 regular season was comprised of 160 games and the minor league season started in May. In December 2021, the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which requires Major League Baseball (“MLB”) clubs to sign players using a uniform contract, expired and MLB commenced a lockout of the Major League players. Negotiations are ongoing, but no agreement has been reached to date. Any labor disputes, such as players’ strikes, protests or lockouts, could postpone or cancel MLB games. No revenue will be recognized for cancelled games and the impact may have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

Baseball revenue is derived from three primary sources: ballpark operations (ticket sales, concessions, corporate sales, suites and premium seat fees), local broadcast rights and shared MLB revenue streams, including national broadcast rights and licensing. Development revenue is derived from the mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, revenue increased $390 million and decreased $298 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase in baseball revenue during 2021 as compared to 2020 was driven by an increase in the number of regular and postseason home baseball games being played with significantly more fans in attendance in 2021 and the Braves success in the 2021 postseason as World Series Champions, both resulting in increased revenue related to all primary sources of revenue. A normal baseball season has historically consisted of approximately 160 games. However, the 2020 regular season consisted of only 60 games, all without fans in attendance. The decrease in baseball revenue in 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily driven by fewer games in 2020. Without fans in attendance for any games in 2020, ballpark operations revenue was lower due to decreased ticket and concession sales. Fewer games also resulted in lower broadcasting revenue. Development revenue increased during 2021 as compared to 2020 due to rental income from various new lease commencements and a reduction in deferred payment arrangements. The decrease F-28 in development revenue in 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily driven by the deferral of rental income from the mixed- use facilities. Other operating expenses primarily include costs associated with baseball and stadium operations. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, other operating expenses increased $207 million and decreased $174 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 was due to more normalized levels of player salaries and facility and game day expenses in 2021, driven by an increase in the number of games in 2021, all with fans in attendance. The decrease in 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily due to lower player salaries, as players were paid a pro-rata portion of their salaries, lower travel expenses and lower facility and game day expenses, as there were fewer games in 2020, all without fans in attendance. Selling, general and administrative expense includes costs of marketing, advertising, finance and related personnel costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $23 million and decreased $21 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase for 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily due to increased marketing initiatives for the 2021 season compared to cost reduction initiatives during the 2020 season as a result of the impacts of COVID-19. The decrease for 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily driven by lower marketing expense and fewer games in 2020. Stock-based compensation increased $5 million and decreased $12 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 was driven by an increase in the fair value of the underlying awards. The decrease in 2020 as compared to 2019 was driven by a decrease in the fair value of the underlying awards. Depreciation and amortization increased $3 million and decreased $2 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 was due to an increase in depreciation related to the Development Project, which had various assets placed in service. The decrease in 2020 as compared to 2019 was driven by a decrease in amortization expense related to player contracts. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities and the conduct of operations. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices and interest rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate. F-29 As of December 31, 2021, our debt is comprised of the following amounts: Variable rate debt Fixed rate debt Principal amount Weighted avg Principal Weighted avg interest rate interest rate amount dollar amounts in millions Liberty SiriusXM Group . . . . . . . . . $ Braves Group . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Formula One Group . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 875 261 832 2.2% $ 12,252 1.6% $ 439 3.5% $ 2,525 3.5% 3.8% 4.9% Liberty’s borrowings under margin loans, Sirius XM Holdings’ borrowings under its credit facility, Formula 1’s borrowings under its loan facility and Braves Holdings’ borrowings under its operating credit facilities carry a variable interest rate based on LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the rate of interest. LIBOR is the subject of national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. In 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the one week and two month U.S. dollar settings; and (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar settings. The United States Federal Reserve has also advised banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate. The Alternative Reference Rate Committee, a committee convened by the Federal Reserve that includes major market participants, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. At this time, it is not possible to predict how markets will respond to SOFR or other alternative reference rates as the transition away from the LIBOR benchmarks is anticipated in coming years. Accordingly, the outcome of these reforms is uncertain and any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined or regulatory activity related to LIBOR’s phaseout could cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past or cease to exist. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted, but could include an increase in the cost of borrowings under the aforementioned debt instruments. In preparation for the expected phase out of LIBOR, and to the extent alternate reference rates were not included in existing debt agreements, Liberty, Sirius XM Holdings and Formula 1 expect to incorporate alternative reference rates when amending these facilities, as applicable. The Company is exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our significant holdings in publicly traded securities. We continually monitor changes in stock markets, in general, and changes in the stock prices of our holdings, specifically. We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, technological changes, specific industry changes and other factors. We periodically use equity collars and other financial instruments to manage market risk associated with certain investment positions. These instruments are recorded at fair value based on option pricing models. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of our marketable equity securities was $217 million. Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at December 31, 2021, the aggregate value of such securities would have been $22 million lower. Additionally, our stock in Live Nation (an equity method affiliate), a publicly traded security, is not reflected at fair value in our balance sheet. This security is also subject to market risk that is not directly reflected in our financial statements. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its chief executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer (the “Executives”), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. See page F-32 for Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. See page F-33 for Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for their attestation regarding our internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

F-31 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Liberty Media Corporation’s (the “Company”) management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation the Company’s management believes that, as of December 31, 2021, its internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm audited the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Annual Report and has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page F-33 of this Annual Report. F-32 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Liberty Media Corporation: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Liberty Media Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Denver, Colorado February 25, 2022 /s/ KPMG LLP F-33 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Liberty Media Corporation: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Media Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Sufficiency of audit evidence over certain subscriber and advertising revenue streams As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, and disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations, the Company generated $11,400 million of revenue, of which $6,084 million was Sirius XM subscriber revenue and $1,542 million was Pandora (Pandora Media, LLC and subsidiaries, the successor to Pandora Media, Inc. and subsidiaries) advertising revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s accounting for these subscriber and advertising revenue streams involved multiple information technology (IT) systems. F-34 We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence related to Sirius XM subscriber revenue and Pandora advertising revenue as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained required auditor judgment due principally to the number of IT applications used by the Company that involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over Sirius XM subscriber revenue and Pandora advertising revenue. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Sirius XM subscriber revenue and Pandora advertising revenue recognition process. We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing certain IT application controls and general IT controls used by the Company in its revenue recognition processes and testing the interface of relevant revenue data between different IT systems used in the revenue recognition processes. For Sirius XM subscriber revenue, we assessed the recorded revenue by comparing total cash received during the year, adjusted for reconciling items, to the revenue recorded in the general ledger. For a sample of Pandora advertising revenue, we traced the recorded amounts to underlying source documents and system reports. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of such evidence. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010. /s/ KPMG LLP Denver, Colorado February 25, 2022 F-35 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Consolidated Balance Sheets December 31, 2021 and 2020 2021 2020 amounts in millions Assets Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Trade and other receivables, net . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media and entertainment industries primarily in North America and the United Kingdom. Our significant subsidiaries include Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Holdings”), Formula 1 and Braves Holdings, LLC (“Braves Holdings”). Our significant investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting is Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”). On November 3, 2021, pursuant to an exchange agreement with certain counterparties, Liberty acquired an aggregate of 43,658,800 shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock in exchange for the issuance by Liberty to the counterparties of an aggregate of 5,347,320 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock. As of December 31, 2021, we owned approximately 81% of the outstanding equity interest in Sirius XM Holdings. Liberty has entered into certain agreements with Qurate Retail, Inc. (“Qurate Retail”), Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“Liberty TripAdvisor”), Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”), Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation (“LMAC”) and GCI Liberty, Inc. (“GCI Liberty”), all of which are, or were (in the case of GCI Liberty), separate publicly traded companies, in order to govern relationships between the companies. None of these entities has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in any of the others, other than Liberty’s equity interests in LMAC, as described in note 11, and GCI Liberty’s ownership of shares of Liberty Broadband’s Series C non-voting common stock prior to the merger of GCI Liberty and Liberty Broadband in December 2020. These agreements include Reorganization Agreements (in the case of Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband only), Services Agreements, Facilities Sharing Agreements and Tax Sharing Agreements (in the case of Liberty Broadband only). In addition, as a result of certain corporate transactions, Liberty and Qurate Retail may have obligations to each other for certain tax related matters. The Reorganization Agreements provide for, among other things, provisions governing the relationships between Liberty and each of Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, Liberty provides Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Broadband, LMAC and GCI Liberty (prior to termination) with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty (prior to termination) reimburse Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services and in the case of Qurate Retail, Qurate Retail’s allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to Qurate Retail. Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Broadband, LMAC and GCI Liberty (prior to termination) reimburse Liberty for shared services and personnel based on a flat fee. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreements, Liberty shares office space and related amenities with Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Broadband, LMAC and GCI Liberty (prior to termination) at Liberty’s corporate headquarters. Under these various agreements, approximately $27 million, $28 million and $46 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In December 2019, Liberty entered into amendments to the Services Agreements with each of Qurate Retail, Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty (collectively, the “Service Companies”) in connection with Liberty’s entry into a new employment arrangement with Gregory B. Maffei, its President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the amended Services Agreements, components of Mr. Maffei’s compensation are either paid directly to him by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case, based on allocations among Liberty and the Service Companies set forth in the amended Services Agreements. Following the merger between GCI Liberty and Liberty F-43 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Broadband in December 2020, GCI Liberty no longer participates in the Services Agreement arrangement due to the termination of its Services Agreement with Liberty. In December 2020, in conjunction with the merger, GCI Liberty made an executive termination payment to Liberty of approximately $6 million. See note 14 for additional information related to termination payments. (2) Tracking Stocks During November 2015, Liberty’s board of directors authorized management to pursue a reclassification of the Company’s common stock into three new tracking stock groups, one to be designated as the Liberty Braves common stock, one to be designated as the Liberty Formula One common stock (formerly known as Liberty Media common stock) and one to be designated as the Liberty SiriusXM common stock (the “Recapitalization”), and to cause to be distributed subscription rights related to the Liberty Braves common stock following the creation of the new tracking stocks. A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or “track” the economic performance of a particular business or “group,” rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group (the “Braves Group”) and the Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”) have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Therefore, the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Braves Group and Formula One Group do not represent separate legal entities, but rather represent those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to each respective group. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group’s stock or assets and therefore, do not own, by virtue of their ownership of a Liberty tracking stock, any equity or voting interest in a public company, such as Sirius XM Holdings or Live Nation, in which Liberty holds an interest that is attributed to a Liberty tracking stock group, such as the Liberty SiriusXM Group or the Formula One Group. Holders of tracking stock are also not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation. Additionally, as a result of the Recapitalization, Liberty’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”) are now convertible into cash based on the product of the conversion rate specified in the indenture and the basket of tracking stocks into which each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Media Corporation common stock was reclassified (the “Securities Basket”). The Series A Liberty Braves common stock component of the Securities Basket was subsequently adjusted pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments arising out of the distribution of subscription rights to purchase shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock made to all holders of Liberty Braves common stock. Furthermore, the Company entered into amended agreements with the counterparties with regard the Recapitalization- related adjustments to the outstanding Series A Liberty Media Corporation common stock warrants as well as the outstanding cash convertible note hedges and purchased call options. As part of the Recapitalization, the Formula One Group initially held a 20% intergroup interest in the Braves Group. As a result of a rights offering in May 2016 to holders of Liberty Braves common stock to acquire shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock, the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was adjusted to 9,084,940, representing a 15.1% intergroup interest in the Braves Group at December 31, 2019. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Formula One Group began purchasing shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock. As of December 31, 2019, the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was 493,278, representing a 0.2% intergroup interest in the Liberty SiriusXM Group. On April 22, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the immediate reattribution of certain assets and liabilities between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group (collectively, the “reattribution”). F-44 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The assets reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, valued at $2.8 billion, consisted of: • Liberty’s entire Live Nation stake, consisting of approximately 69.6 million shares of Live Nation common stock; • a newly-created Formula One Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 5.3 million notional shares of Liberty Formula One common stock, to cover exposure under the Convertible Notes; the bond hedge and warrants associated with the Convertible Notes; the entire Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 1.9 million notional shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, thereby eliminating the Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest; and a portion, consisting of approximately 2.3 million notional shares of Liberty Braves common stock, of the Formula One Group’s intergroup interest in the Braves Group, to cover exposure under the Convertible Notes. • • • The reattributed liabilities, valued at $1.3 billion, consisted of: the Convertible Notes; • • Liberty’s 2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048; and • Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation (“Live Nation Margin Loan”). Similarly, $1.5 billion of net asset value has been reattributed from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, comprised of: • • a call spread between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to 34.8 million of the Live Nation shares that were reattributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group; and a net cash payment of $1.4 billion from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, which was funded by a combination of (x) cash on hand, (y) an additional $400 million drawn from the Company’s existing margin loan secured by shares of common stock of Sirius XM Holdings, and (z) the creation of an intergroup loan obligation from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group in the principal amount of $750 million, plus interest thereon, which was repaid with the proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering described below (the “Intergroup Loan”). The reattribution is reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a prospective basis. The Liberty SiriusXM common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, which, as of December 31, 2021, include its interests in Sirius XM Holdings and Live Nation, corporate cash, Liberty’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 and related financial instruments, Liberty’s 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, Liberty’s 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, Liberty’s 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049, Liberty’s 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and margin loan obligations incurred by wholly-owned special purpose subsidiaries of Liberty. The Liberty SiriusXM Group retains intergroup interests in the Braves Group and the Formula One Group as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Liberty SiriusXM Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $598 million, which includes $191 million of subsidiary cash. The Liberty Braves common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group, which, as of December 31, 2021, include its subsidiary, Braves Holdings, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC” or the “Atlanta Braves”) and certain assets and liabilities associated with ANLBC’s stadium and mixed use development project (the “Development Project”) and cash. The Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group retain intergroup interests in F-45 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Braves Group as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Braves Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $142 million, which includes $58 million of subsidiary cash. The Liberty Formula One common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group, which, as of December 31, 2021, include all of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Liberty other than those specifically attributed to the Braves Group or the Liberty SiriusXM Group, including Liberty’s interests in Formula 1 and Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation, cash, an intergroup interest in the Braves Group and Liberty’s 1% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023. As of December 31, 2021, the Formula One Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,074 million, which includes $709 million of subsidiary cash. The number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group is 6,792,903, representing an 11.0% intergroup interest at December 31, 2021. The number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group is 2,292,037, representing a 3.7% intergroup interest at December 31, 2021. The number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group is 5,271,475, representing a 2.2% intergroup interest at December 31, 2021. The intergroup interests represent quasi-equity interests which are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group have attributed interests in the Braves Group, which are generally stated in terms of a number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock, and the Liberty SiriusXM Group also has an attributed interest in the Formula One Group, which is generally stated in terms of a number of shares of Liberty Formula One common stock. The intergroup interests may be settled, at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), through the transfer of newly issued shares of Liberty Braves common stock and Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, cash and/or other assets to the respective tracking stock group. Accordingly, the Braves Group intergroup interests attributable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group are presented as assets of the Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, and are presented as liabilities of the Braves Group. Similarly, the Formula One Group intergroup interest attributable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group is presented as an asset of the Liberty SiriusXM Group and is presented as a liability of the Formula One Group. The offsetting amounts between tracking stock groups are eliminated in consolidation. The intergroup interests will remain outstanding until the redemption of the outstanding interests, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, through a transfer of securities, cash and/or other assets from the Braves Group or Formula One Group to the respective tracking stock group. On April 22, 2020, the Company’s board of directors authorized management of the Company to cause subscription rights (the “Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights”) to purchase shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“LSXMK”), in a rights offering (the “LSXMK rights offering”) to be distributed to holders of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and LSXMK. In the LSXMK rights offering, Liberty distributed 0.0939 of a Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right for each share of Series A, Series B or Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 13, 2020. Fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights were rounded up to the nearest whole right. Each whole Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right entitled the holder to purchase, pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, one share of LSXMK at a subscription price of $25.47, which was equal to an approximate 20% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of LSXMK for the 3-day trading period ending on and including May 8, 2020. Each Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right also entitled the holder to subscribe for additional shares of LSXMK that were unsubscribed for in the LSXMK rights offering pursuant to an oversubscription privilege. The LSXMK rights offering commenced on May 18, 2020, which was also the ex-dividend date for the distribution of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. The LSXMK rights offering expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 5, 2020 and was fully subscribed with 29,594,089 shares of LSXMK issued to those rightsholders exercising basic and, if applicable, oversubscription privileges. The proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering, which aggregated approximately $754 million, were used to repay the outstanding balance on the Intergroup Loan and accrued interest.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of investments which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Receivables Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Such allowance aggregated $13 million and $17 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Activity in the year ended December 31, 2021 included an increase of $54 million of bad debt charged to expense and $58 million of write-offs. Activity in the year ended December 31, 2020 included an increase of $61 million of bad debt charged to expense and $62 million of write- offs. Activity in the year ended December 31, 2019 included an increase of $56 million of bad debt charged to expense and $59 million of write-offs. Investments All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are carried at fair value, generally based on quoted market prices and changes in the fair value of such securities are reported in realized and unrealized gain (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected the measurement alternative (defined as the cost of the security, adjusted for changes in fair value when there are observable prices, less impairments) for its equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The total value of marketable equity securities aggregated $217 million and $266 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For those investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur rather than as dividends or other distributions are received. Losses are limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. In the event the Company is unable to obtain accurate financial information from an equity affiliate in a timely manner, the Company records its share of earnings or losses of such affiliate on a lag. Changes in the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying equity of an equity method investee, which result from the issuance of additional equity securities by such equity investee, are recognized in the statement of operations through the other, net line item. To the extent there is a difference between our ownership percentage in the underlying equity of an equity method investee and our carrying value, such difference is accounted for as if the equity method investee were a consolidated subsidiary. The Company continually reviews its equity investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the carrying value is other than temporary. The primary factors the Company considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the Company’s carrying value; the severity of the decline; and the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investee. In addition, the Company considers the reason for the decline in fair value, be it general market conditions, industry specific or investee specific; analysts’ ratings and estimates of 12-month share price targets for the investee; changes in stock price or valuation subsequent to the balance sheet date; and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow F-47 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for a recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the equity method investment is written down to fair value. In situations where the fair value of an investment is not evident due to a lack of a public market price or other factors, the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to arrive at the estimated fair value of such investment. The Company’s assessment of the foregoing factors involves a high degree of judgment and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates and judgments. Writedowns for equity method investments are included in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates. The Company performs a qualitative assessment for equity securities without readily determinable fair values each reporting period to determine whether the security could be impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that an impairment could exist, we estimate the fair value of the investments, and, to the extent the security’s fair value is less than its carrying value, an impairment is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities All of the Company’s derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive earnings and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings. None of the Company’s derivatives are currently designated as hedges. The fair value of certain of the Company’s derivative instruments are estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model incorporates a number of variables in determining such fair values, including expected volatility of the underlying security and an appropriate discount rate. The Company obtained volatility rates from pricing services based on the expected volatility of the underlying security over the remaining term of the derivative instrument. A discount rate was obtained at the inception of the derivative instrument and updated each reporting period, based on the Company’s estimate of the discount rate at which it could currently settle the derivative instrument. The Company considered its own credit risk as well as the credit risk of its counterparties in estimating the discount rate. Considerable management judgment was required in estimating the Black-Scholes variables.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $270 million, $268 million and $271 million, respectively. F-48 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Sirius XM Holdings capitalizes a portion of the interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction and launch of its satellites. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset’s cost and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. Capitalized interest costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $7 million and $19 million, respectively. Intangible Assets Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment upon certain triggering events. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (collectively, “indefinite lived intangible assets”) are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Our annual impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative basis, the Company reviews the business performance of each reporting unit and evaluates other relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indicated impairment exists for any of our reporting units. The Company considers whether there are any negative macroeconomic conditions, industry specific conditions, market changes, increased competition, increased costs in doing business, management challenges, the legal environments and how these factors might impact company specific performance in future periods. As part of the analysis, the Company also considers fair value determinations for certain reporting units that have been made at various points throughout the current and prior years for other purposes. If based on the qualitative analysis it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Developing estimates of fair value requires significant judgments, including making assumptions about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates, relevant comparable market multiples, public trading prices and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in Liberty’s valuation analysis are based on management’s best estimates considering current marketplace factors and risks as well as assumptions of growth rates in future years. There is no assurance that actual results in the future will approximate these forecasts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The accounting guidance also permits entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. If the qualitative assessment supports that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite- lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative assessment is performed. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. F-49 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and its intangible assets (other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles) to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset group, an impairment adjustment is to be recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such asset groups exceeds their fair value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of asset groups. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Asset groups to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Noncontrolling Interests The Company reports noncontrolling interests of subsidiaries within equity in the balance sheet and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is presented in the statement of operations. Also, changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries in which the Company maintains a controlling interest are recorded in equity. Revenue Recognition Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), under the modified retrospective transition method. ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASC 606 replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company elected to utilize certain practical expedients as permitted under ASC 606. The Company elected to apply the guidance from ASC 606 only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Completed contracts are those contracts for which substantially all of the revenue had been recognized under ASC 605. The Company also elected to utilize the practical expedient for contract modifications. For modified contracts, the Company did not separately evaluate the effects of each contract modification that occurred prior to January 1, 2018. Instead, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all contract modifications (on a contract-by-contract basis) that occurred prior to January 1, 2018 by identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations and allocating the transaction price to such performance obligations. Sales, value add, and other taxes when collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. To the extent the incremental costs of obtaining a contract relate to a period greater than one year, the Company amortizes such incremental costs in a manner that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. If, at contract inception, we determine the time period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays us for that good or service is one year or less, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. Our customers generally pay for services in advance of the performance obligation and therefore these prepayments are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in our consolidated statement of operations as the services are provided. Changes in the contract liability balance for Sirius XM Holdings during the year F-50 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 ended December 31, 2021 were not materially impacted by other factors. The opening and closing balances for our deferred revenue related to Formula 1 and Braves Holdings was approximately $349 million and $347 million, respectively. As the majority of Sirius XM Holdings contracts are one year or less, Sirius XM Holdings utilized the optional exemption under ASC 606 and does not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for contracts which have original expected durations of one year or less. As of December 31, 2021, less than seven percent of the Sirius XM Holdings total deferred revenue balance related to contracts that extended beyond one year. These contracts primarily include prepaid data trials which are typically provided for three to five years as well as for self-pay customers who prepay for their audio subscriptions for up to three years in advance. These amounts will be recognized on a straight-line basis as Sirius XM Holdings’ services are provided. Significant portions of the transaction prices for Formula 1 and Braves Holdings are related to undelivered performance obligations that are under contractual arrangements that extend beyond one year. The Company anticipates recognizing revenue from the delivery of such performance obligations of approximately $2,197 million in 2022, $1,862 million in 2023, $4,168 million in 2024 through 2029, and $547 million thereafter, primarily recognized through 2035. We have not included any amounts in the undelivered performance obligations amounts for Formula 1 and Braves Holdings for those performance obligations that relate to a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

Subscriber revenue. Subscriber revenue consists primarily of subscription fees and other ancillary subscription based revenue. Revenue is recognized on a straight line basis when the performance obligations to provide each service for the period are satisfied, which is over time as Sirius XM Holdings’ subscription services are continuously transmitted and can be consumed by customers at any time. Consumers purchasing or leasing a vehicle with a factory-installed satellite radio may receive between a three and twelve month subscription to Sirius XM Holdings’ service. In certain cases, the subscription fees for these consumers are prepaid by the applicable automaker. Prepaid subscription fees received from automakers or directly from consumers are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to revenue ratably over the service period which commences upon sale. Activation fees are recognized over one month as the activation fees are non- refundable and do not provide for a material right to the customer. There is no revenue recognized for unpaid trial subscriptions. In some cases, Sirius XM Holdings pays a loyalty fee to the automakers when it receives a certain amount of payments from self-pay customers acquired from that automaker. These fees are considered incremental costs to obtain a contract and are therefore recognized as an asset and amortized to subscriber acquisition costs over an average subscriber F-51 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 life. Revenue share and loyalty fees paid to an automaker offering a paid trial are accounted for as a reduction of revenue as the payment does not provide a distinct good or service. Music royalty fee primarily consists of U.S. music royalty fees (“MRF”) collected from subscribers. The related costs Sirius XM Holdings incurs for the right to broadcast music and other programming are recorded as revenue share and royalties expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Fees received from subscribers for the MRF are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to subscriber revenue ratably over the service period. Advertising revenue. Sirius XM Holdings recognizes revenue from the sale of advertising as performance obligations are satisfied, which generally occurs as the ads are delivered. For Sirius XM Holdings’ satellite radio service, ads are delivered when they are aired. For streaming services, ads are delivered primarily based on impressions. Agency fees are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for Sirius XM Holdings’ advertising inventory and are reported as a reduction of advertising revenue. Additionally, Sirius XM Holdings pays certain third parties a percentage of advertising revenue. Advertising revenue is recorded gross of such revenue share payments as Sirius XM Holdings controls the advertising service including the ability to establish pricing and Sirius XM Holdings is primarily responsible for providing the service. Advertising revenue share payments are recorded to revenue share and royalties during the period in which the advertising is transmitted. Equipment revenue. Equipment revenue and royalties from the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories are recognized upon shipment, net of discounts and rebates. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with shipping goods to customers are reported as a component of cost of services. Other revenue. Other revenue primarily includes revenue recognized from royalties received from Sirius XM Canada. Sirius XM Holdings revenue is reported net of any taxes assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer in the consolidated statements of operations.

These incremental costs relate to commission amounts that will be paid over the life of the contract for which the recipient does not have any substantive future performance requirement to earn such commission. Accordingly, the commission costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the contract. The following is a description of principal activities from which Formula 1 generates its revenue. F-52 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Primary revenue. Formula 1 holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. Formula 1 derives its primary revenue from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of entering into race promotion, broadcasting and sponsorship arrangements. Primary revenue derived from the commercial exploitation of the World Championship is (i) recognized on an event by event basis for those performance obligations associated with a specific event based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement and (ii) recognized over time for those performance obligations associated with a period of time that is greater than a single specific event (for example, over the entire race season or calendar year) based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement. Other revenue. Formula 1 earns other revenue from miscellaneous and ancillary sources, primarily related to facilitating the shipment of cars and equipment to and from the events outside of Europe, revenue from the sale of tickets to the Formula One Paddock Club at most events, support races at events, various television production activities and other ancillary operations. To the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights associated with a specific event, the revenue is recognized upon occurrence of the related event and to the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights over a longer period of time, the revenue is recognized over time. Braves Holdings The following table disaggregates Braves Holdings’ revenue by source: Baseball . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Development . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Such performance obligations are typically satisfied over time and result in differences between revenue recognized and cash received, dependent on how far into a contractual arrangement Braves Holdings is at any given reporting period. The following is a description of principal activities from which Braves Holdings generates its revenue. Baseball revenue. Revenue for Braves Holdings ticket sales, signage and suites are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season based on a pro rata share of total revenue earned during the entire baseball season to the total number of home games during the season. Broadcasting rights are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season based on the pro rata number of games played to date to the total number of games during the season. Concession and parking revenue are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season. Major League Baseball (“MLB”) revenue is earned throughout the year based on an estimate of revenue generated by MLB on behalf of the 30 MLB clubs. Sources of MLB revenue include distributions from the Major League Central Fund, distributions from MLB Advanced Media and revenue sharing income, if applicable. Development revenue. Revenue from Braves Holdings’ minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective lease agreements. Some retail tenants are required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease term. Overage rents are only recognized when each tenant’s sales exceed the applicable sales threshold. Tenants reimburse Braves Holdings for a substantial portion of Braves Holdings operating F-53 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and property insurance. Braves Holdings accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Braves Holdings recognizes differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not material in any period presented. Sponsorship revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over each annual period. Parking revenue is recognized daily based on actual usage. Cost of Sirius XM Holdings Services Revenue Share Sirius XM Holdings shares a portion of its subscription revenue earned from self-pay subscribers with certain automakers. The terms of the revenue share agreements vary with each automaker, but are typically based upon the earned audio revenue as reported or gross billed audio revenue. Revenue share on self-pay revenue is recognized as an expense and recorded in revenue share and royalties in our consolidated statements of operations. Sirius XM Holdings also pays revenue share to certain talent on non-music stations on its satellite radio service and to podcast talent based on advertising revenue for the related channel or podcast. Revenue share on non-music channels and podcasts is recognized in Revenue share and royalties when it is earned. In some cases, Sirius XM Holdings pays minimum guarantees for revenue share to podcast talent which is recorded in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The minimum guarantee is recognized in revenue share and royalties primarily on a straight line basis over the contractual term. The prepaid balance is regularly reviewed for recoverability and any amount not deemed to be recoverable is recognized as an expense in the period. Royalties In connection with its businesses, Sirius XM Holdings must enter into royalty arrangements with two sets of rights holders: holders of musical compositions copyrights (that is, the music and lyrics) and holders of sound recordings copyrights (that is, the actual recording of a work). The Sirius XM and Pandora businesses use both statutory and direct music licenses as part of their businesses. Sirius XM Holdings licenses varying rights - such as performance and mechanical rights - for use in its Sirius XM and Pandora businesses based on the various radio and interactive services they offer. The music rights licensing arrangements for the Sirius XM and Pandora businesses are complex. Sirius XM Holdings pays performance royalties for its Sirius XM and Pandora businesses to holders and rights administrators of musical compositions copyrights, including performing rights organizations and other copyright owners. These performance royalties are based on agreements with performing rights organizations which represent the holders of these performance rights. The Sirius XM and Pandora businesses have arrangements with these performance rights organizations. Arrangements with Sirius XM generally include fixed payments during the term of the agreement and arrangements with Pandora for its ad-supported radio service have variable payments based on usage and ownership of a royalty pool. Pandora must also license reproduction rights, which are also referred to as mechanical rights, to offer the interactive features of the Pandora services. For Pandora subscription services, copyright holders receive payments for these rights at the rates determined in accordance with the statutory license set forth in Section 115 of the United States Copyright Act (the “Copyright Act”). These mechanical royalties are calculated as the greater of a percentage of Sirius XM Holdings’ revenue or a percentage of its payments to record labels. For Sirius XM Holdings’ non-interactive satellite radio or streaming services, it may license sound recordings under direct licenses with the owners of sound recordings or based on the royalty rate established by the Copyright Royalty Board (the “CRB”). For Sirius XM, the royalty rate for sound recordings has been set by the CRB. The revenue subject to royalty includes subscription revenue from Sirius XM Holdings’ U.S. satellite digital audio radio subscribers, and advertising revenue from channels other than those channels that make only incidental performances of sound recordings. The rates and terms permit Sirius XM to reduce the payment due each month for those sound recording directly licensed F-54 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 from copyright owners and exclude from its revenue certain other items, such as royalties paid to Sirius XM for intellectual property, sales and use taxes, bad debt expense and generally revenue attributable to areas of Sirius XM’s business that do not involve the use of copyrighted sound recordings. Pandora has entered into direct license agreements with major and independent music labels and distributors for a significant majority of the sound recordings that stream on the Pandora ad-supported service, Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium. For sound recordings that Pandora streams and for which it has not entered into a direct license agreement with the sound recording rights holders, the sound recordings are streamed pursuant to the statutory royalty rates set by the CRB. Pandora pays royalties to owners of sound recordings on either a per-performance fee based on the number of sound recordings transmitted or a percentage of revenue associated with the applicable service. Certain of these agreements also require Pandora to pay a per subscriber minimum amount. Programming Costs Programming costs which are for a specified number of events are amortized on an event-by-event basis; programming costs which are for a specified season or include programming through a dedicated channel are amortized over the season or period on a straight-line basis. Sirius XM Holdings allocates a portion of certain programming costs which are related to sponsorship and marketing activities to selling, general and administrative expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Cost of Formula 1 Revenue Cost of Formula 1 revenue consists of team payments and hospitality costs, which are principally related to catering and other aspects of the production and delivery of the Paddock Club, and circuit rights’ fees payable under various agreements with race promoters to acquire certain commercial rights at Events, including the right to sell advertising, hospitality and support race opportunities. Other costs include annual Federation Internationale de l’Automobile regulatory fees, sponsorship commissions and those incurred in the provision and sale of freight, travel and logistical services, F2 and F3 cars, parts and maintenance services, television production and post-production services, advertising production services and digital and social media activities. These costs are largely variable in nature and relate directly to revenue opportunities. Subscriber Acquisition Costs Subscriber acquisition costs consist of costs incurred to acquire new subscribers which include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers, including subsidies paid to automakers who include a satellite radio and a prepaid subscription to Sirius XM service in the sale or lease price of a new vehicle; subsidies paid for chipsets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain radios and chipsets; commissions paid to retailers and automakers as incentives to purchase, install and activate radios; product warranty obligations; freight; and provisions for inventory allowance attributable to inventory consumed in Sirius XM Holdings’ automotive and retail distribution channels. Subscriber acquisition costs do not include advertising costs, loyalty payments to distributors and dealers of radios and revenue share payments to automakers and retailers of radios. Subsidies paid to radio manufacturers and automakers are expensed upon installation, shipment, receipt of product or activation and are included in subscriber acquisition costs because Sirius XM Holdings is responsible for providing the service to the customers. Commissions paid to retailers and automakers are expensed upon either the sale or activation of radios. Chipsets that are shipped to radio manufacturers and held on consignment are recorded as inventory and expensed as subscriber acquisition costs when placed into production by radio manufacturers. Costs for chipsets are expensed as subscriber acquisition costs when the automaker confirms receipt. F-55 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Advertising Costs Advertising expense aggregated $532 million, $452 million and $415 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Advertising costs are primarily attributable to costs incurred by Sirius XM Holdings. Media-related advertising costs are expensed when advertisements air, and advertising production costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising production costs include expenses related to marketing and retention activities, including expenses related to direct mail, outbound telemarketing and email communications. Sirius XM Holdings also incurs advertising production costs related to cooperative marketing and promotional events and sponsorships. These costs are reflected in the selling, general and administrative expenses line in our consolidated statements of operations. Stock-Based Compensation As more fully described in note 15, Liberty has granted to its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries options and restricted stock to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, “Awards”). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an Award based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). Included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation: Years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 Cost of Sirius XM Holdings services: Programming and content . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which the Company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it more likely than not such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of an enacted change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When the tax law requires interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes, the Company recognizes interest expense from the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the relevant tax law. Such interest expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any accrual of penalties related to underpayment of income taxes on uncertain tax positions is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. F-56 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Earnings Attributable to Liberty Stockholders Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, including any necessary adjustments to earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders. Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following weighted average shares outstanding. Excluded from diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are 19 million, 25 million and 22 million potentially dilutive shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. 2021 Years ended December 31, 2020 (a)(b) number of shares in millions 2019 (b) Basic WASO . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(b) As discussed in note 2, Liberty distributed subscription rights to holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, which were priced at a discount to the market value, to acquire additional shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock. The LSXMK rights offering, because of the discount, is considered a stock dividend and has been reflected retroactively in prior periods for the weighted average shares outstanding. (c) As discussed in note 2, the Formula One Group’s intergroup interest in the Liberty SiriusXM Group was eliminated on April 22, 2020 in conjunction with the reattribution. The number of notional Liberty Sirius XM shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was 1,945,491 immediately prior to the reattribution. The intergroup interest was a quasi-equity interest which was not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group had an attributed value in the Liberty SiriusXM Group which was generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Formula One Group with respect to its interest in the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty SiriusXM common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares would have been comprised of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages. Therefore, the market price of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock was used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment through the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations. The notional shares representing the intergroup interest had no impact on the basic earnings per share weighted average number of shares outstanding. However, in periods where the Liberty SiriusXM Group had net earnings, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were included in the diluted earnings per share WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. An adjustment was also made to the numerator in F-57 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interest to fair value during the period as follows: Basic earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty SiriusXM shareholders . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(b) As discussed in note 2, following the Recapitalization and Series C Liberty Braves common stock rights offering, the number of notional shares representing the Formula One Group’s intergroup interest in the Braves Group was adjusted to 9,084,940 shares. A portion of this intergroup interest was reattributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group on April 22, 2020. The number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group is 6,792,903 and the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group is 2,292,037 as of December 31, 2021. The intergroup interests are quasi-equity interests which are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group have attributed values in the Braves Group which are generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to their interests in the Braves Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests are marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares have not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty has assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock since Series A Liberty Braves common stock underlie the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock are used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup F-58 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, through the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations.

(b) As discussed in note 2, the number of notional Formula One shares representing the Liberty SiriusXM Group’s intergroup interest in the Formula One Group is 5,271,475 shares as of December 31, 2021. The intergroup interest is a quasi-equity interest which is not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Liberty SiriusXM Group has an attributed value in the Formula One Group which is generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to its interest in the Formula One Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest are marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares have not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Formula One common stock. However, Liberty has assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) would be comprised of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock since Series A Formula One common stock underlie the Convertible Notes.

Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers (i) fair value measurement of non-financial instruments, (ii) accounting for income taxes and (iii) the determination of the useful life of Sirius XM Holdings’ broadcast/transmission system to be its most significant estimates. The Company holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, the Company relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that the Company uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, the Company relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates’ independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Scripps Company and certain of its subsidiaries (“Scripps”) for $266 million in cash, which includes net working capital adjustments. The total purchase consideration of $302 million included $36 million related to the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Stitcher did not achieve certain financial metrics, as a result of which, Sirius XM Holdings does not expect to pay Scripps the 2021 portion of the contingent consideration associated with the transaction. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted cash flow model and will be remeasured to fair value at each subsequent reporting period. Stitcher is included in the Pandora reporting unit. In connection with the acquisition, Sirius XM Holdings recognized goodwill of $224 million and intangible assets subject to amortization of $38 million. The goodwill of Stitcher is deductible for tax purposes as it was an asset acquisition. F-61 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Sirius XM Holdings recognized $4 million of costs related to the acquisition of Stitcher during the year ended December 31, 2020. The acquisition of Stitcher was financed through borrowings under Sirius XM Holdings’ Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Sirius XM Holdings acquisition of Simplecast On June 16, 2020, Sirius XM Holdings acquired Simplecast for $28 million in cash. Simplecast is a podcast management and analytics platform. Simplecast complements AdsWizz, Inc.’s advertising technology platform, allowing Sirius XM Holdings to offer podcasters of all sizes a powerful, comprehensive solution for publishing, analytics, distribution and advertising sales, and is included in the Pandora reporting unit. In connection with the acquisition, Sirius XM Holdings recognized goodwill of $17 million, intangible assets subject to amortization of $12 million, other assets of less than $1 million and deferred income tax liabilities of $1 million. The goodwill of Simplecast is not deductible for tax purposes. Sirius XM Holdings recognized less than $1 million of costs related to the acquisition of Simplecast during the year ended December 31, 2020. Sirius XM Holdings restructuring of Automatic Labs In May 2020, Sirius XM Holdings terminated the Automatic Labs Inc. ("Automatic") service, which was part of its connected services business. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Sirius XM Holdings recorded $24 million of restructuring expenses related to the termination of the service. The termination of the Automatic service does not meet the requirements to be reported as a discontinued operation because the termination of the service does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Sirius XM Holdings acquisition of Pandora On February 1, 2019, Sirius XM Holdings purchased all of the outstanding shares of Pandora for $2.4 billion, by converting each outstanding share of Pandora common stock into 1.44 shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock and by cancelling Sirius XM Holdings’ investment in Pandora’s preferred stock with a fair value of $524 million, for total consideration of approximately $2.9 billion. Net cash acquired by Sirius XM Holdings was $313 million. Pandora operates an internet-based music discovery platform, offering a personalized experience for listeners.

The pro forma information is not representative of the Company’s future results of operations nor does it reflect what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the acquisition of Pandora had occurred previously and the Company consolidated Pandora during the entirety of the periods presented. (6) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not have any recurring assets or liabilities measured at fair value that would be considered Level 3. Liberty’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Description Total Cash equivalents . . . . . . . . . . $ 2,436 Short-term marketable securities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 70 Investment in trust account . . $ 575 Debt and equity securities . . . $ 217 Financial instrument assets . . $ 640 Debt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 5,222 Financial instrument liabilities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 59 2,436 70 575 217 99 — 20 Total amounts in millions 2,586 — — — — 541 — — 266 424 5,222 4,545 39 106 2,586 — — — 181 84 — — — — 85 340 4,545 106 The majority of Liberty’s Level 2 financial instruments are debt related instruments and derivative instruments. These assets and liabilities are not always traded publicly or not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs or a trading price of a similar asset or liability is utilized. The fair value of debt related instruments are F-63 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 based on quoted market prices but not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined by GAAP. Accordingly, those debt and equity securities, financial instruments and debt or debt related instruments are reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value. Short-term marketable securities in the table above are included in the Other current assets line item in the consolidated balance sheets. Investments in the trust account and debt and equity securities and financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other assets line item in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, $527 million and $113 million of financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other current assets and Other assets line items, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other assets line item in the consolidated balance sheets Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following (amounts in millions): Debt and equity securities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Changes in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and cash convertible notes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and cash convertible notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a loss of $107 million, gain of $148 million and loss of $16 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the cumulative change was a gain of $68 million as of December 31, 2021. (b) Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges, which are expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the convertible notes, upon conversion of the notes. The bond hedges are marked to market based on the trading price of underlying Series A Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Braves and Liberty Formula One securities and other observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2). See note 9 for additional discussion of the convertible notes and the bond hedges.

The Series G Units are convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of ordinary membership units of SoundCloud at a ratio of one ordinary membership unit for each Series G Unit.

Through this arrangement, Pandora offers advertisers the ability to execute campaigns in the U.S. across the Pandora and SoundCloud listening platforms.

The fair value of the Pandora reporting unit was determined using a combination of market multiples (market approach) and discounted cash flow (income approach) calculations (Level 3). The discounted cash flow model relies on making assumptions, such as the extent of the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expected timing of recovery, expected growth in profitability and discount rate. Additionally, assumptions related to guideline company financial multiples used in the market approach decreased based on current market observations. As of December 31, 2021, accumulated goodwill impairment losses for Liberty totaled $956 million.

The Convertible Notes will mature on October 15, 2023 unless earlier repurchased by us or converted. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year at a rate of 1.375% per annum. All conversions of the Convertible Notes will be settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities. Since the date of issuance, the conversion adjustment and other provisions of the indenture have been amended to give effect to certain transactions. The consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Note shall be determined based on the Securities Basket, consisting of 0.1087 of a share of Series A Liberty Braves common stock, 1.0163 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 0.25 of a share of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock as of December 31, 2021. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes under certain circumstances. Liberty has elected to account for this instrument using the fair value option. See note 6 for information related to unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value. As of December 31, 2021, the Convertible Notes are classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet, as the conversion conditions have been met as of such date. Additionally, contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into a bond hedge transaction (the “Bond Hedge Transaction”). The Bond Hedge Transaction is expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes in the event that the volume-weighted average price per share of the components of the Securities Basket, as measured under the cash convertible note hedge transactions on each trading day of the relevant cash settlement averaging period or other relevant valuation period, was greater than the strike price of the components of the Securities Basket. As of December 31, 2021, the Bond Hedge Transaction covered, in the aggregate, 5,271,475 shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock, 21,429,600 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 2,292,037 shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pertaining to the Convertible Notes, which is equal to the aggregate number of shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2021, the basket price of the securities underlying the Bond Hedge Transaction was $69.64 per share. The bond hedge expires on October 15, 2023 and is included in Other current assets as of December 31, 2021 and Other assets as of December 31, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value recorded as unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Concurrently with the Convertible Notes and Bond Hedge Transaction, Liberty also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions under which Liberty sold warrants relating to the same underlying shares of Convertible Notes and Bond Hedge Transaction, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The first expiration date of the warrants is January 16, 2024 and the remainder expire over a period covering 81 days thereafter. Liberty may elect to settle its delivery obligation under the warrant transactions with cash. As of December 31, 2021, the warrants covered, in the aggregate, 5,271,475 shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock, 21,429,600 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 2,292,037 shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The strike price of the warrants, based on the basket of shares, was $61.16 per share as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the basket price of the securities underlying the warrants was $69.64 per share. The warrants may have a dilutive effect with respect to the shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the warrants to the extent that the settlement price exceeds the strike price of the warrants, and the warrants are settled in shares comprising such Securities Basket. F-71 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The Convertible Notes, Bond Hedge Transaction and warrants were reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group effective April 22, 2020. 1% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023 On January 23, 2017, Liberty issued $450 million cash convertible notes at an interest rate of 1% per annum, which are convertible, under certain circumstances, into cash based on the trading prices of the underlying shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock and mature on January 30, 2023 (the “1% Convertible Notes’’). The initial conversion rate for the notes will be approximately 27.11 shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $36.89 per share of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock. The conversion of the 1% Convertible Notes will be settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities. As of December 31, 2021, the 1% Convertible Notes are classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet, as the conversion conditions have been met as of such date. 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046 On August 17, 2016, Liberty closed a private offering of approximately $445 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2046 (the “2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046”), and shares of the Company’s Time Warner, Inc. (“Time Warner”) common stock were the reference shares attributable to the debentures. On June 14, 2018, AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) acquired Time Warner in a stock-and-cash transaction. In accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046, the cash portion of the acquisition consideration was paid on June 22, 2018 as an extraordinary additional distribution to holders of debentures, and the stock portion of the acquisition consideration became reference shares attributable to the debentures. Also pursuant to the indenture, the original principal amount of the 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046 was reduced by an amount equal to the extraordinary additional distribution of $229 million, calculated as $514.1295 per $1,000 original principal amount of debentures. Additionally, any amount of excess regular quarterly cash dividends paid on the AT&T reference shares were distributed by the Company to holders of the debentures as an additional distribution. Holders of the debentures had the right to require the Company to purchase their debentures on October 5, 2021. In August 2021, Liberty issued a notice of redemption in full on October 5, 2021 of the 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold all of its approximately 6.11 million shares of AT&T common stock attributable to the debentures to fund the repurchase and redemption in full of such debentures. The debentures, as well as the associated cash proceeds, were attributed to the Formula One Group. Liberty elected to account for the debentures using the fair value option.

Interest is payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2018. The debentures may be redeemed by Liberty, in whole or in part, on or after April 7, 2023. Holders of the debentures also have the right to require Liberty to purchase their debentures on April 7, 2023. The redemption and purchase price will generally equal 100% of the adjusted principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest. The debentures, as well as the associated cash proceeds, were F-72 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group.

In accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, on the fifth business day following Liberty’s receipt of Sirius XM Holdings’ special cash dividend, as described in note 13, Liberty will make an extraordinary cash distribution of $31.1731 per debenture to holders of the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048. Also pursuant to the indenture, the original principal amount of the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 will be reduced by an amount equal to the extraordinary distribution of approximately $13 million. 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 In December 2018, Liberty closed a private offering of approximately $385 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048 (the “2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048”).

Pandora 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 Sirius XM Holdings acquired $193 million principal amount of the 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Pandora Notes due 2023”) as part of the Pandora acquisition. Sirius XM Holdings allocates the principal amount of the Pandora Notes due 2023 between the liability and equity components. The value assigned to the debt components of the Pandora Notes due 2023 is the estimated fair value as of the issuance date of similar debt without the conversion feature. The difference between the fair value of the debt and this estimated fair value represents the value which has been assigned to the equity component. The equity component is recorded to noncontrolling interest in equity of subsidiaries and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The excess of the principal amount of the Pandora Notes due 2023 over the carrying amount of the liability component is recorded as a debt discount, and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the December 1, 2023 maturity date. As of December 31, 2021, the conversion rate applicable to the Pandora Notes due 2023 was 153.7797 shares of Sirius XM Holdings’ common stock per one thousand principal amount of the Pandora Notes due 2023 plus carryforward adjustments not yet effected pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Pandora Notes due 2023.

On May 23, 2019, Formula 1 refinanced the revolving credit facility, to extend the maturity and amend the pricing grid, resulting in an applicable interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum prior to June 30, 2020. The subsequent increase in leverage as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on Formula 1 resulted in an increase to the maximum level on the pricing grid, LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum. The revolving credit facility matures on May 31, 2024, unless the Senior Loan Facility is outstanding, in which case the revolving credit facility matures on November 3, 2023. As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the $500 million revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the Senior Loan Facility was approximately 3.50% as of December 31, 2021. The Senior Loan Facility is secured by share pledges, bank accounts and floating charges over Formula 1’s primary operating companies with certain cross guarantees. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, Formula 1 has interest rate swaps on $2.1 billion of the $2.9 billion Senior Loan Facility in order to manage its interest rate risk. Debt Covenants The Sirius XM Holdings Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants related to Sirius XM Holdings’ leverage ratio. Braves Holdings’ debt contains certain financial covenants related to Braves Holdings’ debt service coverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and debt yield ratio. The Formula 1 Senior Loan Facility contains certain financial covenants, including a leverage ratio. Additionally, Sirius XM Holdings’ Credit Facility, Braves Holdings’ debt, Formula 1 debt and other borrowings contain certain non-financial covenants. As of December 31, 2021, the Company, Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings were in compliance with all debt covenants. Pursuant to an amendment to the Senior Loan Facility on June 26, 2020, subject to compliance by Formula 1 with certain financial conditions, the net leverage financial covenant does not apply until it is tested for the period of four consecutive quarters ending with the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The relevant conditions applicable to Formula 1 include the maintenance of minimum liquidity (comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalent investments and available revolving credit F-77 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 facility commitments) of $200 million and certain restrictions on dividends, other payments and the incurrence of additional debt. On January 29, 2021, Braves Holdings amended one of the debt agreements of the mixed-use loans, modifying the calculation of the debt yield from June 30, 2021 through the quarter ending December 31, 2021, subject to certain other conditions. Fair Value of Debt The fair values, based on quoted market prices of the same instruments but not considered to be active markets (Level 2), of Sirius XM Holdings’ publicly traded debt securities, not reported at fair value, are as follows (amounts in millions): December 31, 2021 Sirius XM 3.125% Senior Notes due 2026 . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Sirius XM 5.0% Senior Notes due 2027 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Sirius XM 4.0% Senior Notes due 2028 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Sirius XM 5.50% Senior Notes due 2029 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Sirius XM 4.125% Senior Notes due 2030 . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Sirius XM 3.875% Senior Notes due 2031 . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Pandora 1.75% Senior Notes due 2023 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 993 1,551 2,000 1,337 1,492 1,459 220 Due to the variable rate nature of the Credit Facility, margin loans and other debt, the Company believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value at December 31, 2021.

ASC 842 requires a company to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases in the statement of financial position. Additionally, the criteria for classifying a lease as a finance lease versus an operating lease are substantially the same as the previous guidance. We elected certain of the available transition practical expedients, including those that permit us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are leases or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We elected the hindsight practical expedient, which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The most significant impact of ASC 842 was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. In F-78 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component and will not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are those leases with a term of twelve months or less at the lease commencement date. The Company and its subsidiaries lease a baseball stadium and facilities, business offices, satellite transponders and equipment. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 38 years, some of which may include the option to extend for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 to 10 years. Braves Holdings’ baseball stadium was historically accounted for as a financing obligation under the build-to- suit lease guidance. The transition guidance for a build-to-suit lease arrangement requires the lessee to derecognize the assets and liabilities that were recognized solely as a result of a transaction’s build-to-suit designation under the previous accounting guidance, with any difference recorded as an adjustment to equity as of the adoption date. Braves Holdings then applied the general lessee guidance under ASC 842 to the baseball stadium lease, including classifying it as a finance lease, and recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet, which has been initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings evaluated its office space needs and, as a result of such analysis, surrendered certain office leases, primarily in New York, New York and Oakland, California. Sirius XM Holdings assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of the operating lease right of use assets related to these locations. Based on that assessment, Sirius XM Holdings recorded impairments aggregating $18 million to reduce the carrying value of the assets to their fair values. Additionally, Sirius XM Holdings accrued expenses of $6 million for which it will not recognize any future economic benefits and wrote off leasehold improvements of $1 million. The fair values of the assets were determined using a discounted cash flow model based on Sirius XM Holdings management's assumptions regarding the ability to sublease the locations and the remaining term of the leases. The total charge of $25 million was recorded to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On January 26, 2021, LMAC consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 57.5 million units (the “Units”), including 7.5 million Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Series A common stock of LMAC and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant of LMAC. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Series A common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, following the later of 30 days after the completion of LMAC's initial business combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO (“Public Warrants”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to LMAC of $575 million, which were placed in a U.S.-based trust account (Level 1) which is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Substantially concurrent with the IPO, LMAC completed the private placement of 10 million warrants to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $15 million (“Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of LMAC’s Series A common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, following the later of 30 days after the completion of LMAC’s initial business combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO and the Sponsor has committed to acquire $250 million of forward purchase units (each consisting of one share of LMAC’s Series B common stock and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of LMAC’s Series A common stock), at a price of $10.00 per unit, pursuant to a forward purchase agreement that will close substantially concurrently with the consummation of LMAC’s initial business combination. LMAC intends to search for a target in the media, digital media, music, entertainment, communications, telecommunications and technology industries, but may seek to complete a business combination with an operating company in any industry, sector or geographic region. The Company, through the Sponsor’s ownership of the Founder Shares, owns 20% of LMAC’s issued and outstanding common stock. The Founder Shares have certain governance rights which allow the Company to control LMAC’s affairs, policies and operations through the initial business combination and therefore the Company continues to consolidate LMAC post IPO. LMAC also entered into services and facilities sharing agreements with the Company for shared office space, services and personnel based on a flat fee. The Company’s interest in LMAC is attributed to the Formula One Group. Transactions and ownership interests with the Sponsor eliminate upon consolidation. F-81 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 LMAC’s Series A common stock, issued as part of the Units in the IPO, has certain provisions which allow the holder to put back the stock to LMAC upon an initial business combination at their election. This conditional redemption feature requires the Company to account for those shares that are subject to potential redemption as redeemable noncontrolling interests which requires temporary equity classification (outside of permanent equity). The changes in the components of redeemable noncontrolling interests were as follows (in millions): Balance at January 1, 2021 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Therefore, the proceeds from the IPO were bifurcated between the warrants and the Series A common stock. At the IPO date, approximately $20 million was recorded as a warrant liability within Other Liabilities, net of IPO costs. At December 31, 2021 the value of the liability was $20 million based on the fair market value of the Public Warrants. On April 15, 2021, the Sponsor entered into an agreement to provide up to $2.5 million to LMAC for working capital purposes. As of December 31, 2021, LMAC had borrowed $1 million under the loan. The working capital loan will either be repaid upon consummation of the initial business combination or the deadline for LMAC to complete an initial business combination, without interest, or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, up to $2.5 million of such loan may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a business combination does not close, LMAC may use funds outside of the trust account to repay the working capital loan, but funds in the trust account would not be used to repay the working capital loan.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the significant reconciling items, as noted in the table above, are additional tax expense related to increases in the Company’s valuation allowance, changes in the Company’s effective state tax rate and the effect of state income taxes, partially offset by tax benefits related to deductible stock based compensation, earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates lower than the 21% U.S. federal tax rate and federal income tax credits.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $1,475 million for federal, state and foreign net operating losses (“NOLs”), interest expense carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Of this amount, the Company has $170 million of federal NOLs, $243 million of state NOLs, $54 million of federal interest expense carryforwards, $234 million of federal tax credit carryforwards, $100 million of state tax credit carryforwards, $350 million of foreign NOLs and $320 million of foreign interest expense carryforwards that may be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining $4 million of carryforwards expire at certain future dates. These carryforwards are expected to be utilized in future periods, except for $424 million of NOLs, interest expense carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards which, based on current projections, will not be utilized in the future and are subject to a valuation allowance.

If such tax benefits were to be recognized for financial statement purposes, approximately $179 million would be reflected in the Company’s tax expense and affect its effective tax rate. We do not currently anticipate that our existing reserves related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021 will significantly increase or decrease during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2022; however, various events could cause our current expectations to change in the future. The Company’s estimate of its unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions requires a high degree of judgment. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s tax years prior to 2018 are closed for federal income tax purposes, and the IRS has completed its examination of the Company’s 2018, 2019 and 2020 tax years. The Company’s 2021 tax year is not under IRS examination. Various states are currently examining the Company’s prior years’ state income tax returns. Sirius XM Holdings is under IRS audit for the 2021 tax year and has certain state income tax audits pending. We do not expect the ultimate disposition of these audits to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had less than $1 million in accrued interest and penalties recorded related to uncertain tax positions. On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings governing the allocation of consolidated U.S. income tax liabilities and setting forth agreements with respect to other tax matters. The tax sharing agreement was negotiated by the Company with a special committee of Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors, all of whom are independent of the Company, and approved by the executive committee of the Company’s board of directors. The tax sharing agreement contains provisions that the Company believes are customary for tax sharing agreements between members of a consolidated group. Under the Internal Revenue Code, two eligible corporations may form a consolidated tax group, and file a consolidated federal income tax return, if one corporation owns stock representing at least 80% of the voting power and value of the outstanding capital stock of the other corporation. Following the closing of the share exchange on November 3, 2021, as described in note 1, Liberty owned greater than 80% of the outstanding equity interest of Sirius XM Holdings, and, as a result, Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings became members of the same consolidated federal income tax group. On November 1, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings entered into (i) an agreement with Liberty whereby Liberty agreed not to effect any merger with Sirius XM Holdings pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor to such statute) without obtaining the prior approval of a special committee of the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors, all of whom are independent of Liberty (the “Special Committee”) (or any successor special committee of Sirius XM Holdings’ independent and disinterested directors) and (ii) an agreement regarding certain tax matters relating to the exchange. Each of these agreements was negotiated by the Special Committee with Liberty. (13) Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock Liberty’s preferred stock is issuable, from time to time, with such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such preferred stock adopted by Liberty’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2021, no shares of preferred stock were issued.

Each share of Series B common stock is exchangeable at the option of the holder for one share of Series A common stock of the same group. All series of our common stock participate on an equal basis with respect to dividends and distributions. Purchases of Common Stock During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 11.0 million shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $443 million under the authorized repurchase program. All of the foregoing shares obtained have been retired and returned to the status of authorized and available for issuance. There were no repurchases of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock and no repurchases of Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $174 million and 3.8 million shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $144 million under the authorized repurchase program. All of the foregoing shares obtained have been retired and returned to the status of authorized and available for issuance. There were no repurchases of Series A Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock and no repurchases of Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 3.1 million shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $141 million, 7.7 million shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $359 million and 1.2 million shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $55 million under the authorized repurchase program. All of the foregoing shares obtained have been retired and returned to the status of authorized and available for issuance. There were no repurchases of Series A Liberty Braves common stock and no repurchases of Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock during the year ended December 31, 2021. Dividends Declared by Subsidiary During the year ended December 31, 2019, Sirius XM Holdings declared a cash dividend each quarter, and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $226 million, of which Liberty received $157 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Sirius XM Holdings declared a cash dividend each quarter, and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $237 million, of which Liberty received $173 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings declared a cash dividend each quarter, and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $268 million, of which Liberty received $210 million. Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors expects to declare regular quarterly dividends, in an aggregate annual amount of $0.087846 per share of common stock. F-86 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 On January 26, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.0219615 per share of common stock, payable on February 25, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 11, 2022. On January 31, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors declared a special cash dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.25 per share of common stock, payable on February 25, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 11, 2022. (14) Related Party Transactions with Officers and Directors Chief Executive Officer Compensation Arrangement In December 2019, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Liberty approved a compensation arrangement (the “CEO Arrangement”) for its President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). Also in December 2019, each of the Service Companies executed an amendment to each Service Company’s services agreement with Liberty, pursuant to which components of the CEO’s compensation described below are either paid directly to the CEO by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case based on allocations among Liberty and each of the Service Companies set forth in the service agreement amendments. This allocation percentage will be determined based on a combination of (1) relative market capitalizations, weighted 50%, and (2) a blended average of historical time allocation on a Liberty-wide and CEO basis, weighted 50%, in each case, absent agreement to the contrary by Liberty and the Service Companies in consultation with the CEO. The allocation percentage will then be adjusted annually and following certain events. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allocation percentage for Liberty was 41% and 44%, respectively. The CEO Arrangement provides for a five year employment term which began on January 1, 2020 and ends December 31, 2024, with an annual base salary of $3 million (with no contracted increase), a one-time cash commitment bonus of $5 million (paid in December 2019) and an annual target cash performance bonus of $17 million (with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s Compensation Committee), upfront equity awards and annual equity awards (as described below). The CEO was entitled to receive term equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million (the “Upfront Awards”) which were granted in two equal tranches. The first tranche consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from Liberty TripAdvisor (collectively, the “2019 term awards”) that vest, in each case, on December 31, 2023 (except Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which vests on December 15, 2023), subject to the CEO’s continued employment, except under certain circumstances. Liberty’s portion of the 2019 term awards, granted in December 2019, had an aggregate grant date fair value of $19,800,000 and consisted of stock options to purchase 927,334 Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock (“LSXMK”) shares, 313,342 Series C Liberty Braves (“BATRK”) shares and 588,954 Series C Formula One common stock (“FWONK”) shares, with exercise prices of $47.11, $29.10 and $43.85, respectively. The second tranche of the Upfront Awards consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from Liberty TripAdvisor (collectively, the “2020 term awards”) that vest, in each case, on December 31, 2024 (except Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which vests on December 7, 2024), subject to the CEO’s continued employment, except under certain circumstances. Liberty’s portion of the 2020 term awards, granted in December 2020, had an aggregate grant date fair value of $19,107,000 and consisted of stock options to purchase 665,140 LSXMK shares, 352,224 BATRK shares and 544,508 FWONK shares, with exercise prices of $42.13, $26.36 and $43.01, respectively. Beginning in 2020, the CEO received annual equity award grants with an annual aggregate grant date fair value of $17.5 million, consisting of time-vested options and/or performance-based restricted stock units. The CEO elected the portions of his annual equity awards that he desired to be issued in the form of options, performance-based restricted stock units or a combination of both. The annual equity awards were allocated across Liberty and each of the Service Companies. F-87 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Vesting of any of these annual performance-based restricted stock units will be subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics to be approved by the Compensation Committee of the applicable company with respect to its respective allocable portion of the annual performance-based restricted stock units. At Liberty, the CEO’s annual equity awards were issued with respect to LSXMK, BATRK and FWONK. The CEO will be entitled to payments and benefits if his employment is terminated, subject to the execution of releases. Such payments and benefits generally will take the form of cash payments, issuance of fully vested shares and the acceleration of unvested equity awards, depending on the type of termination. In the event that the CEO’s services to a Service Company are discontinued and he remains employed by Liberty following such discontinuation (unless such discontinuation is for cause (as defined in his employment agreement)), the Service Company will be required to make a termination payment to Liberty, as well as provide the CEO with certain payments and benefits upon termination under certain circumstances. Exchange Agreement with Chairman On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, among the Company, John C. Malone (the Chairman of the Board of the Company), and a revocable trust of which Mr. Malone is the sole trustee and beneficiary (the “JM Trust”) (the “Exchange Agreement”), whereby, among other things, Mr. Malone agreed to an arrangement under which his aggregate voting power in the Company would not exceed 49% (the “Target Voting Power”) plus 0.5% (under certain circumstances). The Exchange Agreement provides for exchanges by the Company and Mr. Malone or the JM Trust of shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Series B Liberty Braves common stock or Series B Liberty Formula One common stock for shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, in connection with certain events, including (i) any event that would result in a reduction in the outstanding votes of any of the Company’s tracking stock groups (each, a “Group”) or an increase of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power in any Group (other than a Voting Power Exchange (as defined below)) (an “Accretive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group would exceed the Target Voting Power plus 0.5%, (ii) from and after the occurrence of any Accretive Event, any event that would result in an increase in the outstanding votes of any Group or a decrease of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power in any Group (a “Dilutive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group falls below the Target Voting Power less 0.5%, or (iii) on a quarterly basis or in connection with any annual or special meeting of stockholders, upon request by Mr. Malone or the JM Trust, if Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company is less than the Target Voting Power and would continue to be less than the Target Voting Power upon completion of such exchange (a "Voting Power Exchange"). Additionally, the Exchange Agreement contains certain provisions with respect to fundamental events at the Company, meaning any combination, consolidation, merger, exchange offer, split-off, spin-off, rights offering or dividend, in each case, as a result of which holders of Series B common stock of one or more Groups are entitled to receive securities of the Company, securities of another person, property or cash, or a combination thereof. In connection with an Accretive Event with respect to a Group, Mr. Malone or the JM Trust will be required to exchange with the Company shares of Series B common stock of such Group (“Exchanged Group Series B Shares”) for an equal number of shares of Series C common stock of the same Group so as to maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In connection with a Dilutive Event with respect to a Group, Mr. Malone and the JM Trust may exchange with the Company shares of Series C common stock of a Group for an equal number of shares of Series B common stock of the same Group equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Series B common stock of the same Group which would maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power and (ii) the number of Exchanged Group Series B Shares at such time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In a Voting Power Exchange, the Company will be required to F-88 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 exchange with Mr. Malone and the JM Trust shares of Series B common stock of any Group on a one-for-one basis for shares of Series C common stock of the same Group, with the maximum number of shares of Series B common stock to be delivered to Mr. Malone or the JM Trust equal to the number of Exchanged Group Series B Shares at such time that may be delivered without resulting in Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company exceeding the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, there have been no exchanges of the Company’s shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Chairman’s Employment Agreement On December 12, 2008, the Committee determined to modify its employment arrangements with Mr. Malone, to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving payments in 2009 while he remains employed by the Company (instead of following his termination) in satisfaction of Liberty’s obligations to him under two deferred compensation plans and a salary continuation plan. Under one of the deferred compensation plans (the “8% Plan”), compensation has been deferred by Mr. Malone since January 1, 1993 and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. Under the second plan (the “13% Plan”), compensation was deferred by Mr. Malone from 1982 until December 31, 1992 and accrues interest at the rate of 13% per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. The amounts owed to Mr. Malone under the 8% Plan and 13% Plan aggregated approximately $2.4 million and $20 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008. The amount owed to Mr. Malone under his salary continuation plan aggregated approximately $39 million at December 31, 2008. Mr. Malone will receive 240 equal monthly installments as follows, which began on February 1, 2009: (1) approximately $20,000 under the 8% Plan; (2) approximately $237,000 under the 13% Plan; and (3) approximately $164,000 under the salary continuation plan. Interest ceased to accrue under his salary continuation plan once the payment began. (15) Stock-Based Compensation Liberty—Incentive Plans Liberty grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date. Pursuant to the Liberty Media Corporation 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), the company may grant Awards to purchase shares of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Media Corporation common stock. The 2017 Plan provides for Awards to be made in respect of a maximum of 50.0 million shares of Liberty Media Corporation common stock. Awards generally vest over 1-5 years and have a term of 7-10 years. Liberty issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards.

Grants made in March 2020 cliff vested in December 2020, and grants made in December 2020 in connection with the CEO’s employment agreement cliff vest in December 2024. Grants made in March 2019 mainly cliff vested in December 2019, and grants made in December 2019 in connection with the CEO’s employment agreement cliff vest in December 2023. See discussion in note 14 regarding the compensation agreement with the Company’s CEO. (3) Grants made in 2021 vest in equal quarterly installments over 2021. Grants made in 2020 and 2019 vest monthly over one year. (4) Grants made in December 2020 vest 50% in each of December 2022 and December 2023. In addition to the stock option grants to the Liberty CEO, and in connection with his employment agreement, the Company granted time-based and performance-based RSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted 9 thousand, 7 thousand and 3 thousand time-based RSUs of Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One and Liberty Braves, respectively, to our CEO. The RSUs had a GDFV of $33.11, $24.68 and $18.17 per share, respectively, and cliff vested on December 10, 2020. These RSU grants were issued in lieu of our CEO receiving 50% of his remaining base salary for the last three quarters of calendar year 2020, and he waived his right to receive the other 50%, in each case, in light of the ongoing financial impact of COVID-19. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted 12 thousand and 2 thousand time-based RSUs of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock and Series C Liberty Braves common stock, respectively, to our CEO. Such RSUs had a GDFV of $33.94 per share and $27.73 per share, respectively, at the time they were granted and cliff vested on March 11, 2019. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, the Company granted 65 thousand and 60 thousand performance-based RSUs, respectively, of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock to our CEO. Such RSUs had a GDFV of $45.88 per share and $33.94 per share, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, the Company granted 31 thousand and 38 thousand performance-based RSUs, respectively, of Series C Liberty Braves common stock to our CEO. Such RSUs had a GDFV of $31.24 per share and $27.73 per share, respectively. The 2021 and 2019 performance-based RSUs cliff vest F-90 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives and based on an amount determined by the compensation committee. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is re-measured at each reporting period. The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of Series A or Series B Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One or Liberty Braves common stock during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. For grants made in 2021, 2020 and 2019, the range of expected terms was 5.3 to 6.3 years. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty’s stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options. The following table presents the volatilities used by the Company in the Black-Scholes Model for the 2021, 2020 and 2019 grants.

There were no outstanding Series A options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock and there were no outstanding Series B options to purchase shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Formula One common stock or Liberty Braves common stock during 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty Awards was approximately $49 million. Such amount will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years. As of December 31, 2021, 7.4 million, 9.1 million and 3.1 million shares of Series A and Series C Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One and Liberty Braves common stock, respectively, were reserved for issuance under exercise privileges of outstanding stock Awards. F-92 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Liberty—Exercises The aggregate intrinsic value of all options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $144 million, $8 million and $163 million, respectively. Liberty—Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units The Company had approximately 73 thousand, 138 thousand and 219 thousand unvested RSAs and RSUs of Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One and Liberty Braves common stock, respectively, held by certain directors, officers and employees of the Company as of December 31, 2021. These Series A and Series C unvested RSAs and RSUs of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Formula One common stock and Liberty Braves common stock had a weighted average GDFV of $41.81, $46.42 and $28.62 per share, respectively. The aggregate fair value of all RSAs and RSUs of Liberty common stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $13 million, $45 million and $17 million, respectively. Sirius XM Holdings—Stock-based Compensation During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Sirius XM Holdings granted various types of stock awards to its employees and members of its board of directors. Stock-based awards are generally subject to a graded vesting requirement, which is generally three to four years from the grant date. Stock options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units include performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), the vesting of which are subject to the achievement of performance goals and the employee's continued employment and generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Sirius XM Holdings calculates the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The weighted average volatility applied to the fair value determination of Sirius XM Holdings’ option grants during 2021, 2020 and 2019 was 33%, 28% and 26%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings granted approximately 54 million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $6.14 per share and a grant date fair value of $1.77 per share. As of December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings has approximately 161 million options outstanding of which approximately 101 million are exercisable, each with a weighted-average exercise price per share of $5.47 and $5.01, respectively.

(16) Employee Benefit Plans Liberty is the sponsor of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Liberty 401(k) Plan”), which provides its employees and the employees of certain of its subsidiaries an opportunity for ownership in the Company and creates a retirement fund. The Liberty 401(k) Plan provides for employees to make contributions to a trust for investment in Liberty common stock, as well as several mutual funds. The Company and its subsidiaries make matching contributions to the Liberty 401(k) Plan based on a percentage of the amount contributed by employees. In addition, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have similar employee benefit plans. Employer cash contributions to all plans aggregated $35 million, $30 million and $19 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees. Employment Contracts The Atlanta Braves and certain of their players (current and former), coaches and executives have entered into long-term employment contracts whereby such individuals’ compensation is guaranteed. Amounts due under guaranteed contracts as of December 31, 2021 aggregated $285 million, which is payable as follows: $103 million in 2022, $76 million in 2023, $51 million in 2024, $28 million in 2025, $27 million in 2026 and zero thereafter. In addition to the foregoing amounts, certain players, coaches and executives may earn incentive compensation under the terms of their employment contracts. In December 2021, the collective bargaining agreement, which requires MLB clubs to sign players using a uniform contract, expired and MLB commenced a lockout of the Major League players. Negotiations are ongoing, but no agreement has been reached to date. The Braves are under no legal obligation to pay Major League player salaries during any period that players do not render services during a labor dispute (including the ongoing lockout). Programming, music royalties and other contractual arrangements Sirius XM Holdings has entered into various programming agreements under which Sirius XM Holdings’ obligations include fixed payments, advertising commitments and revenue sharing arrangements. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings has entered into certain music royalty arrangements that include fixed payments. Amounts due under programming and music royalty agreements are payable as follows: $799 million in 2022, $893 million in 2023, $273 million in 2024, $136 million in 2025 and $51 million in 2026. Future revenue sharing costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to estimate; therefore, they are not included in the amounts above. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings has entered into agreements related to certain satellite and transmission costs, sales and marketing costs and in- orbit performance payments to the manufacturer of its satellites. Amounts due under these agreements are payable as follows: $188 million in 2022, $169 million in 2023, $132 million in 2024, $37 million in 2025 and $8 million in 2026. SXM-7 Satellite On December 13, 2020, Sirius XM Holdings launched its SXM-7 satellite and in-orbit testing of SXM-7 began on January 4, 2021. During in-orbit testing of SXM-7, events occurred which caused failures of certain SXM-7 payload units. The evaluation of SXM-7 concluded that the satellite will not function as intended, which Sirius XM Holdings considered to be a triggering event prompting the assessment as to whether the asset's carrying value of $220 million was recoverable. In determining recoverability of SXM-7, Sirius XM Holdings compared the asset's carrying value to the undiscounted cash flows derived from the satellite. SXM-7 was determined to be a total loss and therefore, the carrying value of the satellite is not recoverable and an impairment charge of $220 million was recorded to impairment, restructuring F-95 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and acquisition costs in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021. SXM-7 remains in-orbit at its assigned orbital location, but is not being used to provide satellite radio service. Sirius XM Holdings procured insurance for SXM-7 to cover the risks associated with the satellite's launch and first year of in-orbit operation. The aggregate coverage under the insurance policies with respect to SXM-7 is $225 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021 Sirius XM Holdings collected insurance recoveries of $225 million. Of this amount, $220 million was recorded as a reduction to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining $5 million was recorded in other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The SXM-8 satellite was successfully launched into a geostationary orbit on June 6, 2021 and was placed into service on September 8, 2021 following the completion of in-orbit testing The SXM-8 satellite replaced the XM-3 satellite, which remains available as an in-orbit spare along with XM-5. Potential Impact of COVID-19 In December 2019, Chinese officials reported a novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”). COVID-19 has since spread internationally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization assessed COVID-19 as a global pandemic, causing many countries throughout the world to take aggressive actions, including imposing travel restrictions and stay- at-home orders, closing public attractions and restaurants, and mandating social distancing practices. The business operations of Formula 1, the Atlanta Braves and Live Nation initially were largely, if not completely, suspended at the outset of COVID-19. In 2020, the regular baseball season was comprised of 60 games and Formula 1 had 17 Events. The 2021 regular baseball season was comprised of 160 games. Formula 1 originally scheduled 23 Events in 2021, and after a number of Events were cancelled and/or replaced, a record 22 Events took place. Braves Holdings and Formula 1 had limitations on the number of fans in attendance at certain games and Events in 2021, thereby reducing revenue associated with fan attendance. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, Live Nation saw a meaningful restart of its operations, with growth in ticket sales, new sponsor partners and the resumption of shows, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. It is unclear, as restrictions are lifted in many jurisdictions, whether and to what extent COVID-19 concerns will continue to impact the use of and/or demand for the entertainment, events and services provided by these businesses and demand for sponsorship and advertising assets. If these businesses continue to face cancelled events, closed venues and reduced attendance, the impact may substantially decrease our revenue. Due to the revenue reductions caused by COVID-19 to date, these businesses have looked to reduce expenses, but should such impacts continue, the businesses may not be able to reduce expenses to the same degree as any decline in revenue, which may adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow. Litigation The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of the liability accrual and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. We may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On March 13, 2017, Thomas Buchanan, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against Sirius XM Holdings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. The plaintiff alleges that Sirius XM Holdings violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (the “TCPA”) by, among other things, making telephone solicitations to persons on the National Do-Not-Call registry, a database established to allow consumers to exclude themselves from telemarketing calls unless they consent to receive the calls in a signed, written agreement, and making calls to consumers in violation of Sirius XM Holdings’ internal Do-Not-Call registry. The plaintiff is seeking various forms of relief, including statutory damages of $500 for each violation of the TCPA or, in the alternative, treble damages of up to $1,500 for each knowing and willful violation of the TCPA and a permanent injunction prohibiting Sirius XM Holdings from making, or having made, any calls to land lines that are listed on the National Do-Not-Call registry or Sirius XM Holdings’ internal Do-Not-Call registry. Following a mediation, in April 2019, Sirius XM Holdings entered into an agreement to settle this purported class action suit. The settlement resolves the claims of consumers for the period October 2013 through January 2019. As part of the settlement, Sirius XM Holdings paid $25 million into a non-reversionary settlement fund from which cash to class members, notice, administrative costs, and attorney's fees and costs will be paid. The settlement also contemplates that Sirius XM Holdings will provide three months of service to its All Access subscription package for those members of the class that elect to receive it, in lieu of cash, at no cost to those class members and who are not active subscribers at the time of the distribution. The availability of this three-month service option will not diminish the $25 million common fund. As part of the settlement, Sirius XM Holdings will also implement certain changes relating to its “Do-Not-Call” practices and telemarketing programs. On January 28, 2020, the Court issued an order and final judgment approving the settlement. This charge is included in the selling, general and administrative expense line item in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, but has been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA (as defined in note 19) for the corresponding period as this charge does not relate to the on-going performance of the business. Pre-1972 Sound Recording Litigation. On October 2, 2014, Flo & Eddie Inc. filed a class action suit against Pandora in the federal district court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges a violation of California Civil Code Section 980, unfair competition, misappropriation and conversion in connection with the public performance of sound recordings recorded prior to February 15, 1972 (“pre-1972 recordings”). On December 19, 2014, Pandora filed a motion to strike the complaint pursuant to California’s Anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation ("Anti- SLAPP") statute, which following denial of Pandora’s motion was appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In March 2017, the Ninth Circuit requested certification to the California Supreme Court on the substantive legal questions. The California Supreme Court accepted certification. In May 2019, the California Supreme Court issued an order dismissing consideration of the certified questions on the basis that, following the enactment of the Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act, Pub. L. No. 115-264, 132 Stat. 3676 (2018) (the “MMA”), resolution of the questions posed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was no longer “necessary to . . . settle an important question of law.” The MMA grants a potential federal preemption defense to the claims asserted in the aforementioned lawsuits. In July 2019, Pandora took steps to avail itself of this preemption defense, including making the required payments under the MMA for certain of its uses of pre-1972 recordings. Based on the federal preemption contained in the MMA (along with other considerations), Pandora asked the Ninth Circuit to order the dismissal of the Flo & Eddie, Inc. v. Pandora Media, Inc. case. On October 17, 2019, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a memorandum disposition concluding that the question of whether the MMA preempts Flo and Eddie's claims challenging Pandora's performance of pre-1972 recordings "depends on various unanswered factual questions" and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. In October 2020, the District Court denied Pandora’s renewed motion to dismiss the case under California’s anti- SLAPP statute, finding the case no longer qualified for anti-SLAPP due to intervening changes in the law, and denied Pandora’s renewed attempt to end the case. Alternatively, the District Court ruled that the preemption defense likely did not apply to Flo & Eddie’s claims, in part because the District Court believed that the Music Modernization Act did not apply retroactively. Pandora promptly appealed the District Court’s decision to the Ninth Circuit, and moved to stay F-97 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 appellate briefing pending the appeal of a related case against Sirius XM. On January 13, 2021, the Ninth Circuit issued an order granting the stay of appellate proceedings pending the resolution of a related case against Sirius XM. On August 23, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an Opinion in a related case, Flo & Eddie Inc. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. The related case also concerned a class action suit brought by Flo & Eddie Inc. regarding the public performance of pre-1972 recordings under California law. Relying on California’s copyright statute, Flo & Eddie argued that California law gave it the “exclusive ownership” of its pre-1972 songs, including the right of public performance. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court’s grant of partial summary judgment to Flo & Eddie Inc. The Ninth Circuit held that the District Court in this related case erred in concluding that “exclusive ownership” under California’s copyright statute included the right of public performance. The Ninth Circuit remanded the case for entry of judgment consistent with the terms of the parties’ contingent settlement agreement, and on October 6, 2021, the parties to the related case stipulated to its dismissal with prejudice. Following issuance of the Flo & Eddie Inc. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. opinion, on September 3, 2021, the Ninth Circuit lifted the stay of appellate proceedings in Flo & Eddie, Inc. v. Pandora Media, LLC. The Flo & Eddie Inc. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. decision is precedential in the Ninth Circuit, and therefore Sirius XM Holdings believes substantially narrows the claims that Flo & Eddie may continue to assert against Pandora. Sirius XM Holdings believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted in these actions, and it intends to defend these actions vigorously. (19) Information About Liberty’s Operating Segments The Company, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media and entertainment industries. The Company identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings (losses) represent 10% or more of the Company’s annual pre-tax earnings (loss). The segment presentation for prior periods has been conformed to the current period segment presentation. The Company evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below). In addition, the Company reviews nonfinancial measures such as subscriber growth, churn and penetration. For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices. F-98 LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The Company has identified the following subsidiaries as its reportable segments: • Sirius XM Holdings is a consolidated subsidiary that operates two complementary audio entertainment businesses, Sirius XM and Pandora. Sirius XM features music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels and other content, as well as podcasts and infotainment services, in the United States on a subscription fee basis. Sirius XM’s premier content bundles include live, curated and certain exclusive and on demand programming. The Sirius XM service is distributed through its two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Sirius XM also provides connected vehicle services and a suite of in-vehicle data services. The Pandora business operates a music, comedy and podcast streaming discovery platform. Pandora is available as an ad-supported radio service, a radio subscription service, called Pandora Plus, and an on-demand subscription service, called Pandora Premium. Sirius XM Holdings acquired Pandora on February 1, 2019, at which time it began consolidating the results of the Pandora business. • Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. The World Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of events taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, differing revenue sources and marketing strategies. The significant accounting policies of the segments that are also consolidated subsidiaries are the same as those described in the Company’s summary of significant policies. As of December 31, 2021, Live Nation met the Company’s reportable segment threshold for equity method affiliates due to significant losses driven by COVID-19. Although the Company owns less than 100% of the outstanding shares of Live Nation, 100% of the Live Nation amount are included in the tables below and are subsequently eliminated in order to reconcile the account totals to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in note 2, the Company’s investment in Live Nation was reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group effective April 22, 2020. Live Nation’s revenue and Adjusted OIBDA are reflected with the Formula One Group prior to the reattribution and with the Liberty SiriusXM Group following the reattribution.

In January 2017, the Liberty Media Group was renamed the Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”). A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or "track" the economic performance of a particular business or "group," rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Braves Group and Formula One Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Therefore, the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Braves Group and Formula One Group do not represent separate legal entities, but rather represent those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to each respective group. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group's stock or assets and therefore, do not own, by virtue of their ownership of a Liberty tracking stock, any equity or voting interest in a company, such as Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Holdings”), Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”), Formula 1 or Braves Holdings, LLC (“Braves Holdings”), in which Liberty holds an interest and that is attributed to a Liberty tracking stock group. Holders of tracking stock are also not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation. As part of the Recapitalization, the Formula One Group initially held a 20% intergroup interest in the Braves Group. As a result of a rights offering in May 2016 to holders of Liberty Braves common stock to acquire shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock, the number of notional shares underlying the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was adjusted to 9,084,940, representing a 15.1% intergroup interest in the Braves Group as of December 31, 2019. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Formula One Group began purchasing shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock. As of December 31, 2019, the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was 493,278, representing a 0.2% intergroup interest in the Liberty SiriusXM Group. On April 22, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the immediate reattribution of certain assets and liabilities between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group (collectively, the “reattribution”). The assets reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, valued at $2.8 billion, consisted of: • Liberty’s entire Live Nation stake, consisting of approximately 69.6 million shares of Live Nation common • • • • stock; a newly-created Formula One Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 5.3 million notional shares of Liberty Formula One common stock, to cover exposure under Liberty’s 1.375% cash convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”); the bond hedge and warrants associated with the Convertible Notes; the entire Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 1.9 million notional shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, thereby eliminating the Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest; and a portion, consisting of approximately 2.3 million notional shares of Liberty Braves common stock, of the Formula One Group’s intergroup interest in the Braves Group, to cover exposure under the Convertible Notes. The reattributed liabilities, valued at $1.3 billion, consisted of: the Convertible Notes; • • Liberty’s 2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048; and • Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation. F-115 Notes to Attributed Financial Information (Continued) (unaudited) Similarly, $1.5 billion of net asset value has been reattributed from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, comprised of: • • a call spread between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to 34.8 million of the Live Nation shares that were reattributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group; and a net cash payment of $1.4 billion from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, which was funded by a combination of (x) cash on hand, (y) an additional $400 million drawn from the Company’s existing margin loan secured by shares of common stock of Sirius XM Holdings, and (z) the creation of an intergroup loan obligation from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group in the principal amount of $750 million, plus interest thereon, which was repaid with the proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering described below (the “Intergroup Loan”). The reattribution is reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a prospective basis. As of December 31, 2021, the Liberty SiriusXM Group is primarily comprised of Liberty’s interests in Sirius XM Holdings and Live Nation, corporate cash, the Convertible Notes and related financial instruments, Liberty’s 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, Liberty’s 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, Liberty’s 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049, Liberty’s 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and margin loan obligations incurred by wholly-owned special purpose subsidiaries of Liberty. On February 1, 2019, Sirius XM Holdings acquired Pandora Media, Inc., which continues to operate as Pandora Media, LLC (“Pandora”). See note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information related to Sirius XM Holdings’ acquisition of Pandora. Additionally, as discussed below, the Liberty SiriusXM Group holds intergroup interests in the Braves Group and the Formula One Group as of December 31, 2021. In April 2021, the Liberty SiriusXM Group paid approximately $384 million to the Formula One Group to settle its obligation under the call spread with respect to the shares of Live Nation attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. As of December 31, 2021, the Liberty SiriusXM Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $598 million, which includes $191 million of subsidiary cash. The Braves Group is primarily comprised of our consolidated subsidiary, Braves Holdings, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC”) and certain assets and liabilities associated with ANLBC’s stadium and mixed use development project and corporate cash as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Braves Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $142 million, which includes $58 million of subsidiary cash. Additionally, as discussed below, the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group retain intergroup interests in the Braves Group. The Formula One Group is primarily comprised of all of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Liberty other than those specifically attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group, including, as of December 31, 2021, Liberty’s interests in Formula 1 and Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation, cash, an intergroup interest in the Braves Group and Liberty’s 1% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023. In April 2021, the Formula One Group received approximately $384 million from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle the call spread with respect to the shares of Live Nation attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. As of December 31, 2021, the Formula One Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,074 million, which includes $709 million of subsidiary cash. The number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group is 6,792,903, representing an 11.0% intergroup interest at December 31, 2021. The number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Braves Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group is 2,292,037, representing a 3.7% intergroup interest at December 31, 2021. The number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group is 5,271,475, representing a 2.2% intergroup interest at December 31, 2021. The intergroup interests represent quasi-equity interests which are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group have attributed interests in the Braves Group, which are generally stated in terms of a number of shares of Liberty Braves common stock, and the Liberty SiriusXM Group also has an attributed interest in the Formula One Group, which is generally stated in terms of a number of shares of Liberty Formula One common stock. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests are marked to fair value. The changes in F-116 Notes to Attributed Financial Information (Continued) (unaudited) fair value are recorded in the Unrealized gain (loss) on intergroup interests line item in the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations. The Braves Group intergroup interests attributable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group are reflected in the Investment in intergroup interests line item, and the Braves Group liabilities for the intergroup interests are reflected in the Redeemable intergroup interests line item in the unaudited attributed consolidated balance sheets. Similarly, the Formula One Group intergroup interest attributable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group is reflected in the Investment in intergroup interests line item, and the Formula One Group liability for the intergroup interest is reflected in the Redeemable intergroup interests line item in the unaudited attributed consolidated balance sheets. Both accounts are presented as noncurrent, as there are currently no plans for the settlement of the intergroup interests. Appropriate eliminating entries are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares have not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock and Series A, B or C Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively. However, Liberty has assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock since Series A Liberty Braves common stock underlie the 1.375% convertible bonds. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock are used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, through the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations. Liberty has assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Formula One Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock since Series A Formula One common stock underlie the 1.375% convertible bonds. Therefore, the market price of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock is used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment through the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations. The intergroup interests will remain outstanding until the redemption of the outstanding interests, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, through a transfer of securities, cash and/or other assets from the Braves Group or Formula One Group, respectively to the respective tracking stock group. On April 22, 2020, the Company’s board of directors authorized management of the Company to cause subscription rights (the “Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights”) to purchase shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“LSXMK”), in a rights offering (the “LSXMK rights offering”) to be distributed to holders of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and LSXMK. In the LSXMK rights offering, Liberty distributed 0.0939 of a Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right for each share of Series A, Series B or Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 13, 2020. Fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights were rounded up to the nearest whole right. Each whole Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right entitled the holder to purchase, pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, one share of LSXMK at a subscription price of $25.47, which was equal to an approximate 20% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of LSXMK for the 3-day trading period ending on and including May 8, 2020. Each Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right also entitled the holder to subscribe for additional shares of LSXMK that were unsubscribed for in the LSXMK rights offering pursuant to an oversubscription privilege. The LSXMK rights offering commenced on May 18, 2020, which was also the ex- dividend date for the distribution of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. The LSXMK rights offering expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 5, 2020 and was fully subscribed with 29,594,089 shares of LSXMK issued to those rightsholders exercising basic and, if applicable, oversubscription privileges. The proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering, which aggregated approximately $754 million, were used to repay the outstanding balance on the Intergroup Loan and accrued interest. For information relating to investments in affiliates accounted for using the equity method and debt, see notes 7 and 9, respectively, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. F-117 Notes to Attributed Financial Information (Continued) (unaudited) (2) Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees is allocated among the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Braves Group and the Formula One Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing services for each group. On an annual basis estimated time spent is determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group which would require a timelier reevaluation of estimated time spent. Other general and administrative expenses are charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably determined methodology. Stock compensation related to each tracking stock is calculated based on actual awards outstanding. While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future. (3) We have accounted for income taxes for the Liberty SiriusXM Group, the Braves Group and the Formula One Group in the accompanying attributed financial information in a manner similar to a stand-alone company basis. To the extent this methodology differs from our tax sharing policy, differences have been reflected in the attributed net assets of the respective groups.

As such, the balance of the Intergroup tax payable between the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group was zero at the effective date of the Recapitalization and is accounted for going forward beginning on such date. The Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Braves common stock and Liberty Formula One common stock have voting and conversion rights under our restated charter. Following is a summary of those rights. Holders of Series A common stock of each group are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Series B common stock of each group are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group are entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote. In general, holders of Series A and Series B common stock vote as a single class. In certain limited circumstances, the board may elect to seek the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, only Series A and Series B Liberty Braves common stock, or only Series A and Series B Liberty Formula One common stock. At the option of the holder, each share of Series B common stock of each group will be convertible into one share of Series A common stock of the same group. At the discretion of our board, the common stock related to one group may be converted into common stock of the same series that is related to another other group.
