**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The securities are owned by Searchlight ALX, L.P. (the "Fund"). Searchlight ALX GP, LLC (the "Searchlight GP") is the general partner of the Fund. Eric L. Zinterhofer is a manager of the Searchlight GP. By reason of the provisions of Rule 16a-1, Mr. Zinterhofer and the Searchlight GP may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the securities beneficially owned by the Fund. Mr. Zinterhofer does not alone have dispositive or voting power with respect to any securities owned, directly or indirectly, by the Searchlight GP or by the Fund. Mr. Zinterhofer and the Searchlight GP hereby disclaim beneficial ownership of all securities, except to the extent of any indirect pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that such person is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
(2)	3,000,000 Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") were issued on 2/2/2015 by General Communication, Inc. ("GCI") to the Fund in accordance with the SAR Agreement. The SARs entitle the Fund to receive, upon exercise, an amount payable at the election of GCI in either cash or shares of GCI's Class A common stock equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of $13.00. The SARs were issued in connection with GCI's issuance of an unsecured promissory note to the Fund in the amount of $75 million. The terms of the note provide that interest payments will be payable in cash or, at GCI's discretion, payable in kind by adding the interest due to the outstanding principal of the note and issuing to the Fund four hundredths (0.04) of a SAR for each dollar of interest that is capitalized. The SARs will become exercisable on 2/2/2019 and expire on 2/2/2023.
Remarks: - The reporting persons herein may be deemed to be members of a "group" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities deemed to be owned by the group that are not directly owned by such reporting person. This report shall not be deemed an admission that such reporting person is a member of a group or the beneficial owner of any securities not directly owned by such reporting person. - Mr. Zinterhofer, a manager of the Searchlight General Partner, serves on the board of directors of GCI. As a result, the other reporting persons herein may be deemed directors by deputization.
