This Amendment No. 4 supplements and amends in certain respects the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by the Reporting Persons on March 12, 2007, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on November 15, 2007, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on December 3, 2007, and Amendment No. 3 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on November 9, 2010 (as so previously amended, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of General Communication, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 4 should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Schedule 13D.

(a) and (b) The Reporting Persons, as tenants in common or joint tenants with right of survivorship, beneficially own and have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,436,469 shares of Class B Common Stock (representing approximately 45.5% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock) and 2,679,096 shares of Class A Common Stock (representing approximately 7.5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock), including the 1,436,469 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the above-mentioned Class B Common Stock. Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Stock.

The above percentages are based on 35,285,823 shares of Class A Common Stock and 3,154,814 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding on April 29, 2016 as disclosed on the Issuer's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on May 17, 2016, but as to Class A Common Stock increased by the 1,436,469 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons less 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by the Issuer on the Event Date, for a total of 35,722,292 Shares of Class A Common Stock.

In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share and each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Accordingly, when these classes of stock are aggregated, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to currently beneficially own voting equity securities representing approximately 23.7% of the voting power with respect to a general election of directors of the Issuer.

(c) The only transaction effected by the Reporting Persons in the securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days is the sale of 1,000,000 Class A shares to the Issuer as described in Item 3 above.
