Item 8.01.     Other Events.

On March 8, 2018, GCI Liberty, Inc. (formerly known as General Communication, Inc.), an Alaska corporation (“GCI Liberty”), and Liberty Interactive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Liberty”), issued a joint press release announcing that, among other things, GCI Liberty has effected the automatic conversion (the “Auto Conversion”) of its Class A-1 common stock, no par value (the “Class A-1 Common Stock”), and Class B-1 common stock, no par value (the “Class B-1 Common Stock”).  As a result, GCI Liberty has delisted the Class A-1 Common Stock and such securities have ceased to be traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.  In addition, the Class B-1 Common Stock will no longer be quoted on the over-the-counter markets.

Liberty has also completed the reattribution (the “Reattribution”) of certain assets and liabilities from Liberty’s Ventures Group to its QVC Group.  Liberty and GCI Liberty continue to expect that the contribution (the “Contribution”) of the remaining assets and liabilities attributed to Liberty’s Ventures Group to GCI Liberty in exchange for shares of GCI Liberty’s Class A common stock, no par value, and Class B common stock, no par value, will occur on March 9, 2018 and that the split-off (the “Split-Off”) of GCI Liberty from Liberty will occur at 4:01 p.m., New York City time, on March 9, 2018.  The Auto Conversion, Reattribution, Contribution and Split-Off are described in more detail in the joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed transactions between GCI Liberty and Liberty.

The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K in compliance with Rule 425 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and incorporated by reference herein.

These forward-looking statements involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including, without limitation, the completion of the described transactions. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each of Liberty and GCI Liberty expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Liberty’s or GCI Liberty’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
