At the annual meeting, we will ask you to consider and vote on the proposals described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in this proxy statement. We are soliciting proxies from holders of our Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (LBRDA), and Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (LBRDB). The holders of our Series C common stock, par value $0.01 per share (LBRDK), are not entitled to any voting powers, except as required by Delaware law, and may not vote on the proposals to be presented at the annual meeting. We refer to LBRDA, LBRDB and LBRDK together as ourcommon stock.

On November 4, 2014, the spin-off of our company (formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation (Liberty Media)) from Liberty Media was completed (theBroadband Spin-Off). We are comprised of, among other things, (i) Liberty Media's former interest in Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter), (ii) Liberty Media's former wholly-owned subsidiary TruePosition, Inc. (TruePosition), (iii) Liberty Media's former minority equity investment in Time Warner Cable, Inc. (Time Warner Cable), (iv) certain deferred tax liabilities, as well as liabilities related to the Time Warner Cable written call option and (v) initial indebtedness, pursuant to margin loans entered into prior to the completion of the Broadband Spin-Off. In addition, following the completion of the Broadband Spin-Off, on December 10, 2014, stockholders received a subscription right to acquire one share of LBRDK stock for every five shares of our common stock they held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time on December 4, 2014 at a per share subscription price of $40.36. The rights offering was fully subscribed on January 9, 2015, with 17,277,224 shares of Series C common stock issued to those rightsholders exercising basic and, as applicable, oversubscription privileges.

Table of Contents

Stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee may sign up for electronic delivery when voting by Internet atwww.proxyvote.com, by following the prompts.

Stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee should contact their nominee to suspend electronic delivery.

Time, Place and Date

The annual meeting of stockholders is to be held at 9:30 a.m., local time, on June 2, 2015, at the corporate offices of Starz, 8900 Liberty Circle, Englewood, Colorado 80112, telephone (720) 852-7700.

Purpose

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on each of the following:

•: the director election proposal, to elect J. David Wargo to continue serving as a Class I member of our board until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders or his earlier resignation or removal;
•: the auditors ratification proposal, to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015;
•: the say-on-pay proposal, to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement under the heading "Executive Compensation";
•: the say-on-frequency proposal, to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency at which future say-on-pay votes will be held; and
•: the incentive plan proposal, to approve the Liberty Broadband Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of March 11, 2015).

You may also be asked to consider and vote on such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting, although we are not aware at this time of any other business that might come before the annual meeting.

Quorum

In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote at the annual meeting must be represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy. 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. See "—Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes" below.

Table of Contents

Who May Vote

Holders of shares of LBRDA and LBRDB, as recorded in our stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 7, 2015 (such date and time, therecord date for the annual meeting), will be entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to vote at the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Votes Required

If the director nominee receives a plurality of the affirmative votes of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are entitled to vote at the annual meeting and are voted in person or by proxy, voting together as a single class, he will be elected to office.

Approval of each of the auditors ratification proposal, the say-on-pay proposal and the incentive plan proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate 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.

The say-on-frequency proposal provides for stockholders to vote for one of three potential frequencies (every one year, two years or three years) for future say-on-pay votes. Stockholders also have the option to abstain from such vote if they do not wish to express a preference. If one of such frequencies receives a majority of the affirmative votes cast on the say-on-frequency proposal by the holders of 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, the frequency receiving such majority vote will be the frequency selected by our board of directors for future say-on-pay votes.

Votes You Have

At the annual meeting, holders of shares of LBRDA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of LBRDB will have ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show are owned as of the record date.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors has unanimously approved each of the proposals and recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of the director nominee and "FOR" each of the auditors ratification proposal, the say-on-pay proposal and the incentive plan proposal. Our board of directors also recommends that you vote in favor of the "3 YEARS" frequency option with respect to the say-on-frequency proposal.

Shares Outstanding

As of the record date, an aggregate of 26,130,650 shares of LBRDA and 2,467,547 shares of LBRDB were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Number of Holders

There were, as of the record date, 949 and 72 record holders of LBRDA and LBRDB, respectively (which amounts do not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees, but include each such institution as one holder).

Voting Procedures for Record Holders

Holders of record of LBRDA and LBRDB as of the record date may vote in person at the annual meeting, by telephone or through the Internet. Alternatively, if they received a paper proxy card, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail. Instructions for

Table of Contents

voting by using the telephone or the Internet are printed on the Notice or the proxy card. In order to vote through the Internet, holders should have their Notices or proxy cards available so they can input the required information from the Notice or the 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. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by use of a personal identification number, which will be provided to each voting stockholder separately. 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 the director nominee, "FOR" each of the auditors ratification proposal, the say-on-pay proposal and the incentive plan proposal, and, in the case of the say-on-frequency proposal, will be voted in favor of the "3 YEARS" frequency option.

If you submit a proxy indicating that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect on the director election proposal or the say-on-frequency proposal, and it 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 in person 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 prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees from voting shares on behalf of their clients with respect to numerous matters, including, in our case, all the proposals described in this proxy statement other than the auditors ratification 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 LBRDA or LBRDB or how to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Revoking a Proxy

If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the annual meeting, you may change your vote by voting in person at the annual meeting, delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Liberty Broadband Corporation, c/o Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43102, Providence, Rhode Island 02940. Any signed proxy revocation or new signed 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 2:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2015.

Table of Contents

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 statement and our annual report (together, theproxy materials) on behalf of our board of directors. In addition to this mailing, our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We also reimburse brokers and other nominees for their expenses in sending the Notice and, if requested, paper proxy materials to you and getting your voting instructions. We have also retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. (D.F. King) to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a cost of $5,000, plus reasonable out of pocket expenses.

If you have any further questions about voting or attending the annual meeting, please contact Liberty Broadband Investor Relations at (844) 826-8735 or our proxy solicitor, D.F. King, at (212) 269-5550 (brokers and banks only) or (800) 443-5182 (toll free).

Other Matters to Be Voted on at the Annual Meeting

Our board of directors is not currently aware of any business to be acted on at the annual meeting other than that which is described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement. If, however, other matters are properly brought to a vote at the annual meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote or to act on these matters according to their best judgment. In the event there is a proposal to adjourn or postpone the annual meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote on that proposal.

PROPOSAL 2—THE AUDITORS RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

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, 2015.

A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit Fees and All Other Fees

The following table presents fees incurred after the Broadband Spin-Off for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for 2014 (the only calendar year in which we paid fees to KPMG LLP) and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP.

Audit fees	$	482,902
Audit related fees(1)		—

Audit and audit related fees		482,902
Tax fees(2)		—
Total fees	$	482,902

(1): Audit related fees consist of professional consultations with respect to accounting issues affecting our financial statements, reviews of registration statements and issuance of consents, due diligence related to potential business combinations and audits of financial statements of certain employee benefit plans.
(2): Tax fees consist of tax compliance and consultations regarding the tax implications of certain transactions.

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 aspre-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;

Table of Contents

•: 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, and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is expected to result in fees in excess of $50,000, or if individual projects under $50,000 are expected to total $250,000 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. John E. Welsh III 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.

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 2014 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy in place.

Vote and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate 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 of directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the auditors ratification proposal.

PROPOSAL 3—THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL

We are providing our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described below in accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (theExchange Act). This advisory vote is often referred to as the "say-on-pay" vote and allows our stockholders to express their views on the overall compensation paid to our named executive officers. Our company values the views of our stockholders and is committed to the efficiency and effectiveness of our company's executive compensation program.

We are seeking stockholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which include the disclosures under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the compensation tables (including all related footnotes) and any additional narrative discussion of compensation included herein. Stockholders are encouraged to read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our company's executive compensation policies and procedures.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder, and as a matter of good corporate governance, our board of directors is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders:

"RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Liberty Broadband Corporation hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our company's named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and any related narrative discussion."

Advisory Vote

Although this vote is advisory and non-binding on our board and our company, our board and the compensation committee, which are responsible for designing and administering our company's executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation policies and decisions for named executive officers.

Vote and Recommendation

This advisory resolution, which we refer to as the say-on-pay proposal, will be considered approved if it receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate 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.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the say-on-pay proposal.

Table of Contents

PROPOSAL 4—THE SAY-ON-FREQUENCY PROPOSAL

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and related rules of the SEC, we are submitting for stockholder consideration a separate resolution for an advisory vote as to whether a stockholder vote to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers should occur every one, two or three years.

After consideration, our board of directors has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every three years is the most appropriate policy for us.

Our board of directors believes an advisory vote every three years would allow stockholders to focus on the structure of our overall compensation program rather than any single event in a given year. Doing so would be compatible with our compensation philosophy of compensating our executives in a way that ensures they are aligned with our stockholders and have a continuing stake in our long-term success. An advisory vote every three years would allow stockholders to consider the achievement of our corporate goals over a longer period and would allow stockholders to engage in more thoughtful analysis of our company's executive compensation program by providing more time between votes. As a result, our board of directors recommends a vote for the holding of advisory votes on named executive officer compensation every three years.

You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, three years or abstaining from voting when you vote in response to the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the option of once every one year, two years or three years that receives a majority of the affirmative votes cast for this resolution will be determined to be the frequency for the advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules that has been selected by Liberty Broadband Corporation's stockholders."

Vote and Recommendation

Stockholders will be able to cast their vote for one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. Stockholders are not being asked to vote to approve or disapprove our board of directors' recommendation.

If one of the frequencies receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the say-on-frequency proposal by the holders of 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, the frequency receiving such majority vote will be the frequency selected by our board of directors for future executive compensation votes. If no frequency receives the requisite majority, our board of directors will carefully consider the outcome of the vote and decide the frequency at which future advisory votes on executive compensation will be held.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote in favor of "3 YEARS" with respect to the frequency with which stockholders are provided an advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 5—THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

The following is a description of the material provisions of the Liberty Broadband Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of March 11, 2015) (theincentive plan). The summary that follows is not intended to be complete, and we refer you to the copy of the incentive plan set forth as Annex A to this proxy statement for a complete statement of its terms and provisions.

Key Features of the Incentive Plan

•: 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 restricted stock units 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 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 incentive plan.
•: Award Limitations. In any calendar year, no person may be granted awards relating to more than 2,000,000 shares of our common stock or cash awards in excess of $10,000,000 and no nonemployee director may be granted awards having a value in excess of $3,000,000 on the date of grant.

Liberty Broadband Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of March 11, 2015)

The incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors, other than awards granted to nonemployee directors which are currently administered by our full board of directors. In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, our board of directors approved the incentive plan and Liberty Media approved the plan as our sole stockholder. The incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors (including any employees of Liberty Media or Liberty Interactive providing services to our company) and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. The incentive plan is also intended to (1) attract persons of exceptional ability to become our officers and employees, and (2) induce directors and independent contractors (including any directors, independent contractors or employees of Liberty Media or Liberty Interactive providing services to our company) to provide services to us. Such persons will be eligible to participate in and may be granted awards under the incentive plan. The number of individuals who will receive awards under the incentive plan will vary from year to year and will depend on various factors, such as the quantity of services we require of Liberty Media employees under the services agreement. Therefore, we cannot predict the number of future award recipients.

Under the incentive plan, the compensation committee may grant non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing (as used in this description of the incentive plan, collectively,awards). The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted under the incentive plan is 8,400,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. With limited exceptions, no person will be granted in any

Table of Contents

calendar year awards under the incentive plan covering more than 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. In addition, no person may receive payment for cash awards during any calendar year aggregating in excess of $10 million. No nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $3 million.

Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 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 that expires, terminates or is cancelled or annulled for any reason without having been exercised, (ii) any award of any SARs the terms of which provide for settlement in cash, and (iii) any award of restricted shares or restricted stock units that shall be forfeited prior to becoming vested, will once again be available for issuance under the incentive plan. Shares of our common stock that are (i) not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding option or SAR, (ii) used to pay the purchase price or withholding taxes relating to an outstanding award, or (iii) repurchased in the open market with the proceeds of an option purchase price will not be again made available for issuance under the incentive plan.

Subject to the provisions of the 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 incentive plan and to take such other action in connection with or in relation to the 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 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 conditions of the applicable option grant. The exercise price of an option awarded under the 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. 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 incentive plan. Dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any stock options.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR awarded under the 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 (atandem SAR) or granted separately to an eligible person (afree 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

Table of Contents

exceed ten years. 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 Restricted Stock Units. 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 restricted stock unit is a unit evidencing the right to receive, in specified circumstances, one share of the specified series of our common stock, or its cash equivalent, subject to a restriction period or forfeiture conditions. The compensation committee is authorized to award restricted stock units based upon the fair market value of shares of any series of our common stock under the 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 restricted stock units, including whether the holder will be entitled to dividend equivalent payments with respect to the restricted stock units. Restricted stock units will be issued at the beginning of the restriction period and holders will not be entitled to shares of our common stock covered by restricted stock unit awards until such shares are issued to the holder at the end of the restriction period. Awards of restricted stock units 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 restricted stock units will vest, any retained distributions or unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted shares or restricted stock units 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 restricted stock units 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 restricted stock units 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 (theCode).

Cash Awards. The compensation committee is also authorized to provide for the grant of cash awards under the incentive plan. A cash award is a bonus paid in cash that may be based upon the attainment of one or more performance goals over a performance period established by the compensation committee. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any cash awards will be determined by the compensation committee.

Performance Awards. At the discretion of the compensation committee, any of the above-described awards may be designated as a performance award. All cash awards shall be designated as performance awards. Performance awards are contingent upon performance measures applicable to a particular period, as established by the compensation committee and set forth in individual agreements, based upon any one or more of the following business criteria:

•: increased revenue;
•: net income measures (including income after capital costs and income before or after taxes);
•: stock price measures (including growth measures and total stockholder return);

Table of Contents

•: price per share of our common stock;
•: market share;
•: earnings per share (actual or targeted growth);
•: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA);
•: operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA);
•: economic value added (or an equivalent metric);
•: market value added;
•: debt to equity ratio;
•: cash flow measures (including cash flow return on capital, cash flow return on tangible capital, net cash flow and net cash flow before financing activities);
•: return measures (including return on equity, return on average assets, return on capital, risk-adjusted return on capital, return on investors' capital and return on average equity);
•: operating measures (including operating income, funds from operations, cash from operations, after-tax operating income, sales volumes, production volumes and production efficiency);
•: expense measures (including overhead cost and general and administrative expense);
•: margins;
•: stockholder value;
•: total stockholder return;
•: proceeds from dispositions;
•: total market value; and
•: corporate values measures (including ethics compliance, environmental and safety).

Performance measures may apply to the award recipient, to one or more business units, divisions or subsidiaries of our company or an applicable sector of our company, or to our company as a whole. Goals may also be based on performance relative to a peer group of companies. A performance measure need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). If the compensation committee intends for the performance award to be granted and administered in a manner that preserves the deductibility of the compensation resulting from such award in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, the applicable performance goals must be established (1) no later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance goals relate and (2) prior to the completion of 25% of such period of service. The compensation committee will have no discretion to modify or waive such performance goals to increase the amount of compensation payable that would otherwise be due upon attainment of the goal, unless the applicable award is not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and the relevant agreement provides for such discretion. The compensation committee shall have the authority to determine whether the performance measures and other terms and conditions of the award are satisfied, and the compensation committee's determination as to the achievement of performance measures relating to a performance award shall be made in writing. Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows deductions for compensation in excess of $1 million for our Chief Executive Officer and some of our executive officers, unless the awards meet the requirements for being performance-based.

Table of Contents

Awards Generally. Awards under the 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 incentive plan may be shares of LBRDA, LBRDB and LBRDK as provided in the relevant grant. The closing prices of LBRDA and LBRDK shares were $55.55 and $55.58, respectively, as of April 14, 2015, and the closing price of LBRDB shares was $55.58 as of April 10, 2015. Under certain conditions, including the occurrence of certain approved transactions, a board change or a control purchase (all as defined in the incentive plan), options and SARs will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions on restricted shares and restricted stock units will lapse, unless individual agreements state otherwise. 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 with our company, of any unvested options, SARs, restricted stock units or restricted shares and the period during which any vested options and SARs must be exercised. 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 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 incentive plan) will result in the immediate termination of all options and SARs and the forfeiture of all rights to any restricted shares, restricted stock units, retained distributions, unpaid dividend equivalents and related cash amounts held by such terminated holder. If a holder's service terminates due to death or disability, options and SARs will become immediately exercisable, and the restrictions on restricted shares and restricted stock units will lapse and become fully vested, unless individual agreements state otherwise.

Adjustments. The number and kind of shares of our common stock that may be awarded or otherwise made subject to awards under the 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 incentive plan) for which other provisions are made pursuant to the 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 incentive plan will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the plan's effective date (which was November 4, 2014) unless earlier terminated by the compensation committee. The compensation committee may suspend, discontinue, modify or amend the incentive plan at any time prior to its termination, except that outstanding awards may not be amended to

Table of Contents

reduce the purchase or base price of outstanding options or SARs. However, before an 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 Incentive Plan

Consequences to Participants

The following is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that generally will arise with respect to awards granted under the incentive plan and with respect to the sale of any shares of our common stock acquired under the 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 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; Restricted Stock Units; 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 restricted stock unit 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. Dividend

Table of Contents

equivalents that are received by a holder prior to the time that the restricted shares 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 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 incentive plan could also be affected by Section 162(m) of the Code, which limits the deductibility, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of compensation paid to certain employees to $1 million during any taxable year. However, certain exceptions apply to this limitation in the case of qualified performance-based compensation. In certain cases, we may determine it is in our interests to not satisfy the requirements for the qualified performance-based exception.

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. We intend to structure awards under the incentive plan in a manner that is designed to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code.

New Plan Benefits

Except as otherwise described below, due to the nature of the 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 incentive plan.

Prior to the date of this proxy statement, we have granted awards of stock options and restricted shares under the incentive plan with respect to 1,511,364 shares of LBRDK to an officer and our directors, which results in 6,888,636 shares of our common stock being available for future grants. The exercise prices of the stock options granted under the incentive plan range from $48.10 per share to $53.86 per share, and these options have terms ranging from seven to ten years.

Vote and Recommendation

Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the Liberty Broadband Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of March 11, 2015).

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

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. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16 forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms furnished to us during our most recent fiscal year, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2014, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were met with the exception of two transactions by Donne F. Fisher that were untimely reported in a Form 4 in 2014.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, which constitutes our "code of ethics" within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of ethics is available on our website atwww.libertybroadband.com.

Director Independence

It is our policy that a majority of the members of our board of directors be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our board of directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. To assist our board of directors in determining which of our directors qualify as independent for purposes of Nasdaq rules as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors follows the Corporate Governance Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market on the criteria for director independence.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Donne F. Fisher, Richard R. Green, J. David Wargo and John E. Welsh III qualifies as an independent director of our company.

Board Composition

As described above under "Proposals of Our Board—Proposal 1—The Director Election 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. For more information on our policies with respect to board candidates, see "—Committees of the Board of Directors—Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee" below.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer). 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

Table of Contents

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 risks associated with the independence of the board. These committees then provide reports periodically to 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, and other risks. 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.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Executive Committee

Our board of directors has established an executive committee, whose members are John C. Malone and Gregory B. Maffei. Except as specifically prohibited by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the executive committee may exercise all the powers and authority of our board of directors in the management of our business and affairs, including the power and authority to authorize the issuance of shares of our capital stock.

Compensation Committee

Our board of directors has established a compensation committee, whose chairman is Donne F. Fisher and whose other members are Richard R. Green, J. David Wargo (as of March 2015) and John E. Welsh III. See "—Director Independence" above.

In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, we entered into a Services Agreement, dated November 4, 2014, with Liberty Media (theservices agreement), pursuant to which Liberty Media will provide us with administrative, executive and management services. The compensation committee will evaluate the services fee under the services agreement on at least an annual basis. In addition, the compensation committee may approve incentive awards or other forms of compensation to employees of Liberty Media who are providing services to our company, which employees include our executive officers. For example, in December 2014, the compensation committee determined to grant the 2014 Options (as defined below) to Mr. Maffei. See "Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2014 Executive Compensation." In addition, the services agreement is described in more detail in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Agreements Entered Into in Connection with the Broadband Spin-Off."

If we engage a chief executive officer or other officer at the senior vice president level or higher to perform services for our company outside the services agreement, the compensation committee will review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of any such person. The compensation committee also oversees the compensation of the chief executive officers of our non-public operating subsidiaries. For a description of our current processes and policies for consideration and determination of executive compensation, including the role of our Chief Executive Officer and outside consultants in determining or recommending amounts and/or forms of compensation, see "Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis."

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the compensation committee, which is available on our website atwww.libertybroadband.com.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of our compensation committee 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.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our board of directors has established a nominating and corporate governance committee, whose chairman is Richard R. Green and whose other members are Donne F. Fisher, J. David Wargo (as of March 2015) and John E. Welsh III. See "—Director Independence" above.

The nominating and corporate governance committee identifies individuals qualified to become board members consistent with criteria established or approved by our board of directors from time to time, identifies director nominees for upcoming annual meetings, develops corporate governance guidelines applicable to our company and oversees the evaluation of our board and management.

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 Broadband Corporation, 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado 80112. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed under "Stockholder Proposals" below, 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 aProposing 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;

Table of Contents

•: 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 signed 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 (aStockholder 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.

To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. However, 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. 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 and relevant skill sets;
•: 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. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however,

Table of Contents

our board and the nominating and corporate governance committee believe that it is important that our board members represent diverse viewpoints.

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.

Based on the foregoing criteria, the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee in office recommended Mr. Wargo for nomination as a director of our board in March 2015. Mr. Wargo was recommended following a discussion on the need to replace Donne Fisher's financial experience on our board in light of Mr. Fisher's decision not to stand for re-election at the 2015 annual meeting. The board desired to find a replacement nominee with a background in investment analysis and experience serving companies in our industry, and John C. Malone, our Chairman of the Board, recommended Mr. Wargo as a candidate. Mr. Wargo was appointed to our board following a vote of the board of directors and will stand for election this year.

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.

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Mr. Wargo, who is nominated for election at the annual meeting, continues to be qualified to serve as a director of our company and such nomination was approved by the entire board of directors.

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has also adopted corporate governance guidelines, which were developed by the nominating and corporate governance committee. The charter and the corporate governance guidelines are available on our website atwww.libertybroadband.com.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, whose chairman is John E. Welsh III and whose other members are Donne F. Fisher, Richard R. Green and J. David Wargo (as of March 2015). See "—Director Independence" above.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Welsh is an "audit committee financial expert" under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The audit committee reviews and monitors the corporate financial reporting and the internal and external audits of our company. The committee's functions include, among other things:

•: appointing or replacing our independent auditors;
•: reviewing and approving in advance the scope and the fees of our annual audit and reviewing the results of our audits with our independent auditors;
•: reviewing and approving in advance the scope and the fees of non-audit services of our independent auditors;
•: reviewing compliance with and the adequacy of our existing major accounting and financial reporting policies;

Table of Contents

•: reviewing our management's procedures and policies relating to the adequacy of our internal accounting controls and compliance with applicable laws relating to accounting practices;
•: confirming compliance with applicable SEC and stock exchange rules; and
•: preparing a report for our annual proxy statement.

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on our website atwww.libertybroadband.com.

Audit Committee Report

Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our board of directors, based on the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. 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. Welsh 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed on March 12, 2015 with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section sets forth information relating to, and an analysis and discussion of, compensation paid by our company to the following persons (who we collectively refer to as ournamed executive officers):

•: Gregory B. Maffei, our Chief Executive Officer and President; and
•: Christopher W. Shean, our Chief Financial Officer.

Pursuant to the services agreement (as described below), employees of Liberty Media perform management services for our company for a monthly fee, which is reviewed quarterly by the audit committees of our company and Liberty Media. As described above, our executive officers are comprised of Messrs. Maffei, Baer, Rosenthaler and Shean, each of which is an employee of Liberty Media and provides executive services to our company under the services agreement. They are not separately compensated by our company other than with respect to any equity awards relating to our common stock that our compensation committee may determine to grant. Messrs. Baer and Rosenthaler did not receive any equity awards relating to our common stock in 2014, and the portions of their individual compensation packages related to services that they provided to our company under the services agreement were deemed to be less than $100,000. Accordingly, they are not considered "named executive officers" of our company for purposes of the Exchange Act and the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Overview

Services Agreement

In November 2014, we were spun off from our former parent, Liberty Media. In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, we entered into a services agreement with Liberty Media, pursuant to which Liberty Media provides to our company certain administrative and management services, and we pay Liberty Media a monthly management fee, the amount of which is subject to semi-annual review (and at least an annual review by our compensation committee). As a result, employees, including our named executive officers, who provide services to our company pursuant to the services agreement, are not separately compensated by our company other than with respect to equity awards with respect to our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we accrued management fees payable to Liberty Media under the services agreement of $334,049.

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions; Setting Executive Compensation

The Chief Executive Officer did not have any role in making compensation decisions for the year ended December 31, 2014, because our company had been a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media until November 2014, and between the time of the Broadband Spin-Off and the end of 2014, no separate compensation decisions were made with respect to any of the executive officers (other than the grant of Mr. Maffei's 2014 Options (as defined below), which was made in the sole discretion of our compensation committee).

Prospectively, our Chief Executive Officer may make recommendations with respect to any equity compensation to be awarded to our executive officers. As a result of the management fee paid to Liberty Media, the compensation committee does not expect to provide any cash compensation to the executive officers, rather it may determine to separately compensate the executive officers with equity incentive compensation. It is expected that our Chief Executive Officer, in making any related recommendations to our compensation committee, will evaluate the performance and contributions of

Table of Contents

each of our executive officers, given his respective area of responsibility, and, in doing so, will consider various qualitative factors such as:

•: the executive officer's experience and overall effectiveness;
•: the executive officer's performance;
•: the responsibilities of the executive officer, including any changes to those responsibilities over the year; and
•: the executive officer's demonstrated leadership and management ability.

Elements of 2014 Executive Compensation

For 2014, the principal component of Mr. Maffei's compensation was an equity incentive award granted on December 17, 2014. Mr. Maffei received a one-time grant of 1,500,000 options to purchase shares of LBRDK at an exercise price of $48.10 per share (the2014 Options). One-half of the 2014 Options will vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date with the remaining 2014 Options vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei being employed on the applicable vesting date. The 2014 Options will have a term of ten years. The 2014 Options are multi-year awards that have a cliff vesting feature to align Mr. Maffei's interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders, particularly in the absence of any direct cash compensation to be paid to him. As described below, multi-year stock awards are consistent with the compensation policy of our compensation committee and those of our predecessors.

Mr. Shean, our other named executive officer, did not receive any equity compensation from our company during 2014. The equity awards held by Mr. Shean and reported below in "—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" were issued as a result of the anti-dilution adjustments applied to his outstanding Liberty Media equity awards at the time of the completion of the Broadband Spin-Off, including his unvested multi-year grant described below.

Equity Incentive Compensation

Consistent with our compensation philosophy, our compensation committee believes in aligning the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders through awards of stock-based incentive compensation. This ensures that our executives have a continuing stake in our long-term success.

As described above in "Proposal 5—The Incentive Plan Proposal," the incentive plan provides for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance awards. Our compensation committee has a preference for grants of stock options and awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units (as compared with other types of available awards under the incentive plan) 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.

Recently, the Liberty Media compensation committee (and, prior to September 2011 when Liberty Media's former parent company Old LMC was split-off (theOld LMC Split-Off) from its former parent company, Liberty Interactive, the Liberty Interactive compensation committee) determined to make larger grants (equaling approximately four to five years' value of the annual grants made in years prior to 2009) that vest between four and five and three-quarters years after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These multi-year grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and generally expire ten years after grant to encourage executives to remain with the company over the

Table of Contents

long-term and to better align their interests with those of the stockholders. In that regard, multi-year awards were granted to our executive officers prior to 2014, including to Mr. Shean, and, accordingly, the multi-year awards were adjusted in connection with the Broadband Spin-Off pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the incentive plans under which they were granted.

Policy on Restatements

In those instances where we grant equity-based incentive compensation, we expect to 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.

Executive Compensation Arrangements

Gregory B. Maffei

Option Grant. On December 17, 2014, Mr. Maffei received a one-time grant of the 2014 Options consisting of 1,500,000 options to purchase shares of LBRDK at an exercise price of $48.10 per share. One-half of the 2014 Options will vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date with the remaining 2014 Options vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei being employed on the applicable vesting date. The 2014 Options will have a term of ten years. Pursuant to the services agreement, as an employee of Liberty Media, Mr. Maffei provides services to our company and is not separately compensated by our company other than with respect to equity awards with respect to our common stock.

Upon a "change in control" (as defined in the award agreement relating to the 2014 Options) prior to Mr. Maffei's termination or in the event of Mr. Maffei's termination for death or disability, all of his unvested 2014 Options will become exercisable. If Mr. Maffei is terminated by our company for "cause" (as such term is defined in the award agreement relating to the 2014 Options), all of his unvested 2014 Options will terminate. If Mr. Maffei is terminated by our company without "cause" or if he terminates his employment for "good reason" (as such term is defined in the award agreement relating to the 2014 Options), then each unvested tranche of 2014 Options will vest pro rata based on the number of days in the vesting period for such tranche elapsed since the grant date plus 548 calendar days; however, in the event (i) all members of the "Malone Group" (as such term is defined in the award agreement relating to the 2014 Options) cease to beneficially own our company's securities representing at least 20% of our voting power, (ii) within 90 to 210 days of clause (i) Mr. Maffei's employment is terminated by our company without cause or by Mr. Maffei for good reason and (iii) at the time of clause (i) Mr. Maffei does not beneficially own our company's securities representing at least 20% of our voting power, then all unvested 2014 Options will vest in full as of the date of Mr. Maffei's termination. In no event will the vesting of the 2014 Options accelerate upon Mr. Maffei's voluntary termination of his employment with our company without good reason. In addition, in no event will the vesting of the 2014 Options accelerate upon termination of Mr. Maffei's employment for any reason with Liberty Media. In the event of a change in control prior to Mr. Maffei's termination, all of the 2014 Options will remain exercisable until the end of the term. If Mr. Maffei is terminated for cause prior to December 31, 2019 (without a prior change in control

Table of Contents

occurring), then all vested 2014 Options will expire on the 90th day following such termination. In all other events of termination or if Mr. Maffei has not been terminated prior to December 31, 2019, all vested 2014 Options will expire at the end of the term.

Equity Incentive Plans

The incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to officers, employees, nonemployee directors and independent contractors for service to our company and to encourage those persons' investment in our company. Non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing may be granted under the incentive plan (collectively,awards). The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 8,400,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. With limited exceptions, under the incentive plan, no person may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. In addition, no person may receive payment for cash awards during any calendar year in excess of $10 million and no nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $3 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company. The incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee with regard to all awards granted under the incentive plan (other than awards granted to the nonemployee directors), and the compensation committee has full power and authority to determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The incentive plan is administered by the full board of directors with regard to all awards granted under the incentive plan to nonemployee directors, and the full board of directors has full power and authority to determine the terms and conditions of such awards.

In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, new equity incentive awards with respect to our common stock (new Broadband awards) were issued in connection with adjustments made to outstanding equity incentive awards with respect to shares of Liberty Media common stock which have been granted to various directors, officers and employees and consultants of Liberty Media and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to the various stock incentive plans administered by the Liberty Media board of directors or the compensation committee thereof. These new Broadband awards were issued pursuant to the Liberty Broadband Corporation Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (thetransitional plan), which governs the terms and conditions of the new Broadband awards but will not be used to make any additional grants following the Broadband Spin-Off.

(1): Includes shares withheld in payment of withholding taxes at election of holder.
(2): On December 4, 2012 (theGrant Date), to effect Old LMC's 2012 option modification program, Old LMC's compensation committee approved the acceleration of each unvested in-the-money option to acquire shares of its Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (LMCA) held by certain of its and its subsidiaries' officers (collectively, theEligible Optionholders), including Mr. Maffei, who is a named executive officer of our company and was a named executive officer of Old LMC on the Grant Date. Following this acceleration, also on the Grant Date, each Eligible Optionholder exercised, on a net settled basis, substantially all of his or her outstanding in-the-money vested and unvested options to acquire LMCA shares (theEligible Options) and with respect to each unvested Eligible Option, each Eligible Optionholder acquired LMCA shares which have a vesting schedule identical to that of the unvested Eligible Option (theNew Shares). In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, new equity incentive awards with respect to our common stock were issued in connection with adjustments made to outstanding equity incentive awards with respect to shares of Liberty Media's common stock, including the New Shares.

The Value column below represents the value related to awards with respect to LBRDA and LBRDK held by Mr. Maffei that were subject to continued vesting requirements as of the Grant Date, but which vested during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Such value was realized by Mr. Maffei in 2012 and therefore included in Liberty Media's proxy statement relating to its 2013 annual meeting of stockholders under "Executive Compensation—Option Exercises and Stock Vested."

The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment with our company had terminated or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2014. 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 tables are based on the closing market prices on December 31, 2014, the last trading day of such year, for our Series A common stock, which was $50.09, and our Series C common stock, which was $49.82. The value of the options and SARs shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise or base price of the award and the applicable closing market price. The value of the restricted stock shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of shares unvested.

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," which are incorporated by reference herein):

Voluntary Termination. Each of the named executive officers holds equity awards that were issued under the transitional plan and Mr. Maffei holds the 2014 Options which were issued under the incentive plan. Under these plans and the related award agreements, in the event of a voluntary termination of his employment with our company for any reason, each named executive officer would only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his termination date, except that under his award agreement, Mr. Maffei has certain acceleration rights with respect to his 2014 Options upon a voluntary termination for good reason. Mr. Maffei and Mr. Shean are not entitled to any severance payments or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment for any reason.

Termination for Cause. All outstanding equity grants constituting options or stock appreciation rights, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, and all equity grants constituting unvested restricted shares under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer (other than Mr. Maffei in the case of equity grants constituting vested options or similar rights) who is terminated for "cause." The transitional plan which governs the awards (other than the 2014 Options) unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, defines "cause" as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform his 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, including the 2014 Options, "cause," as defined in the award agreement, also includes 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 in the event of his termination following a change in control, Mr. Maffei is entitled to certain procedural and cure rights relating to such termination. Mr. Maffei has certain continuing rights under the award agreement for his 2014 Options to exercise vested options following a termination for "cause." See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements."

Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. Pursuant to the award agreement for the 2014 Options, Mr. Maffei's 2014 Options are subject to acceleration upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above for additional entitlements.

Table of Contents

Mr. Shean's multi-year award, which is his only unvested award, provides for vesting upon a termination of employment without cause of those options or restricted shares, as applicable, that would have vested during the 12-month period following the termination date if such person had remained an employee, plus a pro rata portion of the remaining unvested options or restricted shares, as applicable, based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date. Mr. Shean is not 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 incentive plans and applicable award agreements provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

Disability. If the employment of any of the named executive officers is terminated due to disability, which is defined in the incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

Change in Control. In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share 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, except that Mr. Maffei's awards may also be subject to acceleration upon a change in control, including of the type described in the last bullet point, pursuant to the terms of the award agreement for his 2014 Options. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed no such determination was made.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Nonemployee Directors

Director Fees. Each of our directors who is not an employee of, or service provider to, our company will be paid an annual fee of $100,000 (which we refer to as thedirector fee), of which $50,000 is payable in cash and the balance is payable in restricted shares or options to purchase shares of LBRDK. See "—Director Restricted Share Grants" and "—Director Option Grant" below for information on the incentive awards granted in 2014 to the nonemployee directors. With respect to our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for his participation on each such committee, except that any committee member who is also the chairman of that committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $15,000 for his participation on that committee. The cash portion of the director fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears.

Equity Incentive Plans. As discussed above, awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the incentive plan are currently administered by our full board of directors. Our board of directors 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 incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors and employees of Liberty Media or Liberty Interactive for service to our company and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. Our board of directors may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the incentive plan.

As described above, in connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, our company's board of directors adopted the transitional plan which governs the terms and conditions of awards issued in the Broadband Spin-Off in connection with adjustments made to awards previously granted by Liberty Media with respect to its common stock.

In 2014, each of our nonemployee directors was given a choice of receiving his annual equity grant in the form of restricted shares or options.

Director Restricted Share Grants. Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the incentive plan, on December 15, 2014, Mr. Fisher was granted 1,156 restricted shares of LBRDK. These restricted shares will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and, unless our board of directors determines otherwise, will be forfeited if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date.

Director Option Grant. Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the director plan, on December 15, 2014, Messrs. Green and Welsh were each granted options to purchase 3,655 shares of LBRDK at an exercise price equal to $48.24, which was the closing price of such stock on the grant date. The per share grant date fair value of these options was $13.62. The options will become exercisable on the second anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and will be terminated without becoming exercisable if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date. Once vested, the options will remain exercisable until the seventh anniversary of the grant date, or, if earlier, until the first business day following the first anniversary of the date the grantee ceases to be a director.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED 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.

Agreements Entered Into in Connection with the Broadband Spin-Off

In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, our company and Liberty Media entered into the agreements described below.

Reorganization Agreement

On October 28, 2014, we entered into a reorganization agreement with Liberty Media to provide for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions (including the internal restructuring) required to effect the Broadband Spin-Off, certain conditions to the Broadband Spin-Off and provisions governing the relationship between our company and Liberty Media with respect to and resulting from the Broadband Spin-Off. The reorganization agreement also provides for mutual indemnification obligations, which are designed to make our company financially responsible for substantially all of the liabilities that may exist relating to the businesses included in our company at the time of the Broadband Spin-Off together with certain other specified liabilities, as well as for all liabilities incurred by our company after the Broadband Spin-Off, and to make Liberty Media financially responsible for all potential liabilities of our company which are not related to our businesses, including, for example, any liabilities arising as a result of our company having been Liberty Media's subsidiary, together with certain other specified liabilities. These indemnification obligations exclude any matters relating to taxes. For a description of the allocation of tax-related obligations, please see "—Tax Sharing Agreement" below.

In addition, the reorganization agreement provides for each of our company and Liberty Media to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of the other party for five years following the Broadband Spin-Off, subject to customary exceptions, including disclosures required by law, court order or government regulation.

Tax Sharing Agreement

On November 4, 2014, we and Liberty Media entered into a tax sharing agreement which generally allocates certain taxes, tax items, and tax-related losses between our company and Liberty Media. For purposes of this summary, references to the "Broadband group" mean, with respect to any tax year (or portion thereof) ending at or before the effective time of the Broadband Spin-Off, our company and each of our subsidiaries at the effective time of the Broadband Spin-Off, and with respect to any tax year (or portion thereof) beginning after the effective time of the Broadband Spin-Off, our company and our subsidiaries during such tax year (or portion thereof); and references to the "Liberty group" mean, with respect to any tax year (or portion thereof), Liberty Media and its subsidiaries, other than any person that is a member of the Broadband group during such tax year (or portion thereof).

Generally, under the tax sharing agreement, (i) Liberty Media will be allocated all taxes attributable to the members of the Liberty group, and all taxes attributable to the members of the Broadband group for a pre-Broadband Spin-Off period, that are reported on any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return that includes one or more members of the Liberty group and one or more members of the Broadband group, and (ii) each of our company and Liberty Media will be

Table of Contents

allocated all taxes attributable to the members of its respective group that are reported on any tax return (including any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return) that includes only the members of its respective group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Liberty Media will be allocated any taxes and tax-related losses resulting from the Broadband Spin-Off and related restructuring transactions, except that we will be allocated any such taxes or tax-related losses that (i) result primarily from, individually or in the aggregate, a breach by our company of any of our restrictive covenants relating to the Broadband Spin-Off and related restructuring transactions, or (ii) result from Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Broadband Spin-Off as a result of the Broadband Spin-Off being part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire a 50-percent or greater interest (by vote or value) in the stock of Liberty Broadband.

The parties must indemnify each other for taxes and losses allocated to them under the tax sharing agreement and for taxes and losses arising from a breach by them of their respective covenants and obligations under the tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement also provides for the agreements between the parties related to the filing of tax returns, control of tax audits, cooperation on tax matters, retention of tax records, and other tax matters.

Services Agreement

In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, we entered into a services agreement with Liberty Media, pursuant to which, following the Broadband Spin-Off, Liberty Media provides our company with specified services, including:

•: insurance administration and risk management services;
•: other services typically performed by our legal, investor relations, tax, accounting and internal audit departments; and
•: such other services as Liberty Media may obtain from its officers, employees and consultants in the management of its own operations that we may from time to time request or require.

In addition, Liberty Media provides to our company certain technical and information technology services (including management information systems, computer, data storage, network and telecommunications services).

We pay Liberty Media an agreed upon services fee under the services agreement. We also reimburse Liberty Media for direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by us for third party services provided to our company. We and Liberty Media will evaluate all charges for reasonableness semi-annually and make adjustments to these charges as the parties mutually agree upon. The fees payable to Liberty Media for the first year of the services agreement are not expected to exceed approximately $3.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we accrued management fees payable to Liberty Media under the services agreement of $334,049.

The services agreement will continue in effect until the close of business on the third anniversary of the Broadband Spin-Off, unless earlier terminated (1) by our company at any time on at least 30 days' prior written notice, (2) by Liberty Media upon written notice to our company following a change in control or certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events affecting our company or (3) by our company, upon written notice to Liberty Media, following certain changes in control of our company or our company being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

Facilities Sharing Agreement

In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, we entered into a three-year facilities sharing agreement (the facilities sharing agreement) with Liberty Media and Liberty Property Holdings, Inc. (LPH) pursuant to which, following the Broadband Spin-Off, we share office facilities with Liberty

Table of Contents

Media, Liberty Interactive and Liberty TripAdvisor located at 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado. We pay a sharing fee for use of the office based on a comparable fair market rental rate and an estimate of the usage of the office facilities by or on behalf of our company. The facilities sharing agreement will continue in effect until the close of business on the third anniversary of the Broadband Spin-Off, unless earlier terminated (1) by our company at any time on at least 30 days' prior written notice, (2) by LPH upon written notice to our company following a default by our company of any of our material obligations under the facilities sharing agreement, which default remains unremedied for 30 days after written notice of such default is provided, (3) by our company upon written notice to LPH, following certain changes in control of Liberty Media or Liberty Media being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events or (4) by LPH upon written notice to our company, following certain changes in control of our company or our company being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we accrued fees and reimbursable expenses payable to Liberty Media under the facilities sharing agreement of $65,951.

Aircraft Time Sharing Agreements

Prior to the Broadband Spin-Off, we entered into three aircraft time sharing agreements with Liberty Media or one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries for each of three aircraft owned by Liberty Media or in which a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media owns a fractional interest. Each aircraft time sharing agreement provides that Liberty Media or its subsidiaries will lease the aircraft to our company and provide or arrange for a fully qualified flight crew for all operations on a periodic, non-exclusive time sharing basis. We pay Liberty Media or its subsidiaries an amount equal to 200% of the actual expenses for fuel for each flight conducted under each of the three aircraft time sharing agreement (which we estimate will be a de minimis amount for the first year under the aircraft time sharing agreements). The aircraft time sharing agreements will continue in effect until the close of business on the first anniversary of the Broadband Spin-Off, and then will be automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis, unless terminated earlier by either party upon at least 30 days' prior written notice. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we did not accrue any fees or reimbursable expenses payable to Liberty Media under the aircraft time sharing agreements.

These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the reorganization agreement, the tax sharing agreement, the services agreement, the facilities sharing agreement and the aircraft time sharing agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 to Liberty Broadband's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 10, 2014.

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 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.

(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.

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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the Committee intends for a Performance Award to be granted and administered in a manner designed to preserve the deductibility of the compensation resulting from such Award in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, then the Performance Objectives for such particular Performance Award relative to the particular period of service to which the Performance Objectives relate shall be established by the Committee in writing (i) no later than 90 days after the beginning of such period and (ii) prior to the completion of 25% of such period.

9.5 Waiver of Performance Objectives. The Committee shall have no discretion to modify or waive the Performance Objectives or conditions to the grant or vesting of a Performance Award unless such Award is not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and the relevant Agreement provides for such discretion.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Acceleration of Awards.

(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 consummation of the Approved Transaction. The effect, if any, on a Cash Award of an Approved Transaction, Board Change or 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

A-13

Table of Contents

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 an employee, director or independent contractor of the Company.

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 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).

A-14

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.

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 satisfaction of the Performance Objectives applicable to a Performance Award, as appropriate, may, in the discretion of the Committee, be paid in shares of

A-15

Table of Contents

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. 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 employee 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

A-16

Table of Contents

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.

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.

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.
