(1) The number of shares disposed of in the transaction were held by the Issuer in connection with the payment of withholding taxes on restricted shares that vested on March 17, 2008. The price is based on an average of the high and low trading prices on March 17, 2008.
(2) 38,399 of these shares were previously reported as 38,414 shares held indirectly by the Issuer's 401(k) Savings Plan, which number changed due to fluctuation in market value (see footnote 5).
(3) The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares owned by his spouse.
(4) The Reporting Person is the sole trustee of and, with his spouse, retains a unitrust interest in the trust.
(5) 43 shares of Series A Liberty Capital common stock and 276 shares of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock held in the unitized stock fund under the Issuer's 401(k) Savings Plan were disposed of by the Plan Administrator in a nondiscretionary transaction as a result of the over-contribution by the Reporting Person under the terms of the plan. The number of shares held in the unitized stock fund represents equivalent shares based on the fair market value of the shares of Series A Liberty Capital common stock, Series A Liberty Interactive common stock, and Series A Liberty Entertainment common stock held by the fund.
(6) Pursuant to a reclassification exempt under Rule 16b-7, each share of the Issuer's Liberty Capital common stock (par value $.01 per share) was reclassified as one share of the same series of the reclassified Liberty Capital common stock (par value $.01 per share) and four shares of the same series of the Issuer's new Liberty Entertainment common stock (par value $.01 per share). The Reporting Person is voluntarily reporting this Form 5 transaction early on this Form 4.
