Regulation FD Disclosure

General Communication, Inc.’s (“GCI”) Board of Directors approved a $100 million increase to its stock repurchase program. The action, which occurred at a scheduled board meeting, increases the program’s authorization by $100 million and provides for quarterly increases of $5 million. Including existing authorizations, GCI may purchase up to $127.8 million worth of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

The plan does not have an expiration date. However, transactions pursuant to the plan are subject to periodic approval by the Board of Directors. GCI expects to continue the repurchases for an indefinite period dependent on leverage, liquidity, company performance, market conditions and subject to continued oversight by the Board of Directors. The repurchases have and will continue to comply with the restrictions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The related press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
