If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of §§240.13d-1(e), 240.13d-1(f) or 240.13d-1(g), check the following box. o

*The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

(1)  Includes 25,444 shares of Liberty Broadband Corporation’s, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), Series A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Common Stock”), and 57,641 shares of the Issuer’s Series B common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series B Common Stock”), held in a revocable trust (the “LM Revocable Trust”) with respect to which John C. Malone (“Mr. Malone”) and Mr. Malone’s wife, Mrs. Leslie Malone (“Mrs. Malone”), are trustees. Mrs. Malone has the right to revoke such trust at any time. Mr. Malone disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the LM Revocable Trust.

(2)  Does not include shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Malone; however, if such shares of Series A Common Stock were included, Mr. Malone would beneficially own, in the aggregate, 3,123,856 shares of Series A Common Stock, and Mr. Malone’s aggregate beneficial ownership of Series A Common Stock, as a series, would be 15.5%, subject to the relevant footnotes set forth herein.

(3)  Includes 62,500 shares of Series A Common Stock held by the Malone Family Land Preservation Foundation, as to which shares Mr. Malone has disclaimed beneficial ownership.

(4)  The Exchange Agreement (defined and described in Item 6) contains certain provisions relating to the transfer of the Series B Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Malone.

(5)  Includes 122,649 shares of Series B Common Stock held by a trust (the “CRT”) with respect to which Mr. Malone is the sole trustee and, with his wife, retains a unitrust interest in the CRT.

(6)  Includes 27,171 shares of Series B Common Stock held by two trusts (the “Trusts”) which are managed by an independent trustee (and, in the case of one such Trust, also co-managed by one of Mr. Malone’s adult children) and the beneficiaries of which are Mr. Malone’s adult children. Mr. Malone has no pecuniary interest in the Trusts, but he retains the right to substitute assets held by the Trusts. Mr. Malone disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the Trusts.

(7)  Calculated based on the 18,236,186 shares of Series A Common Stock and 2,022,532 shares of Series B Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”). Furthermore, 7,183,812 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), were outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as reported by the Issuer in the Form 10-Q. Each share of Series B Common Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Series A Common Stock. Shares of Series A Common Stock and Preferred Stock are not convertible at the option of the holder. The holders of Series A Common Stock, Series B Common Stock and Preferred Stock generally vote as a single class with respect to all matters voted on by the stockholders of the Issuer. Each share of Series A Common Stock is entitled to one vote, each share of Series B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes, and each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to 1/3 of a vote, in each case, on matters presented to stockholders of the Issuer for their approval. Accordingly, Mr. Malone may be deemed to beneficially own voting equity securities representing approximately 49.1% of the voting power with respect to the general election of directors of the Issuer, based on the outstanding shares noted above. See Item 5.

SCHEDULE 13D/A

(Amendment No. 8)

Statement of

JOHN C. MALONE

Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

in respect of

LIBERTY BROADBAND CORPORATION

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Common Stock”), and the Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Common Stock” and, together with the Series A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), of Liberty Broadband Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Liberty Broadband”). The statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Reporting Person, Mr. John C. Malone (“Mr. Malone” or the “Reporting Person”), on January 29, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on December 17, 2018, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on June 29, 2020, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 7, 2020, Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 30, 2020, Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on June 15, 2022, Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on July 19, 2022 and Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 25, 2023 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), is hereby amended and supplemented to include the information set forth herein.

This amended statement on Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment”) constitutes Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D, as amended by the Amendment, collectively, the “Statement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

The information contained in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to delete last four paragraphs thereof and supplemented to include the following information:

On September 23, 2024, the Issuer communicated to Charter Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( “Charter”), a non-binding response (the “Response”) to a non-binding proposal received from Charter (the “Charter Proposal”), which Charter Proposal outlined the terms of a proposed combination of the Issuer with Charter (the “Combination”) whereby each stockholder of the Issuer would receive 0.228 of a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Charter (the “Charter Common Stock”) for each share of Common Stock. In the Response, the Issuer proposed that in the Combination each stockholder of the Issuer would receive 0.2900 of a share of Charter Common Stock for each share of Common Stock. The Reporting Person has communicated to the Issuer that he is willing to engage in discussions regarding the potential Combination.

Mr. Malone holds and has acquired the shares of Common Stock described herein for investment purposes.

Other than as set forth in this Statement, Mr. Malone does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (i) any acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or any disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the board or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vi) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (vii) any change in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) any delisting from a national securities exchange or any loss of authorization for quotation in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association of a class of securities of the Issuer; (ix) any termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of a class of equity securities of the Issuer; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Mr. Malone is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). As a result, Mr. Malone regularly has discussions with members of Issuer management, board members of the Issuer, and stockholders of the Issuer, which discussions from time to time relate to management, governance and board composition, the Issuer’s operations and financial condition or strategic transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Malone may determine to change his intentions with respect to the Issuer at any time in the future and may, for example, elect (i) to acquire additional shares of Capital Stock or (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of his holdings of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, in each case subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. In reaching any determination as to his future course of action, Mr. Malone will take into consideration various factors, such as the Issuer’s business and prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, other business opportunities available to Mr. Malone, tax and estate planning considerations, liquidity needs and general economic and stock market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Capital Stock.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a)-(b) Mr. Malone beneficially owns (without giving effect to the conversion of shares of Series B Common Stock into shares of Series A Common Stock) (i) 1,241,171 shares of Series A Common Stock (including (A) 25,444 shares held in a revocable trust with respect to which Mr. Malone and his wife are trustees (the “LM Revocable Trust”), as to which shares Mr. Malone disclaims beneficial ownership, and (B) 62,500 shares held by the Malone Family Land Preservation Foundation, as to which shares Mr. Malone disclaims beneficial ownership), which represent approximately 6.8% of the outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock, and (ii) 1,882,685 shares of Series B Common Stock (including (A) 57,641 shares held by the LM Revocable Trust, as to which shares Mr. Malone disclaims beneficial ownership, (B) 122,649 shares held by a trust (the “CRT”) with respect to which Mr. Malone is the sole trustee and, with his wife, retains a unitrust interest in the CRT, and (C) 27,171 shares held by two trusts (the “Trusts”) which are managed by an independent trustee (and, in the case of one such Trust, also co-managed by one of Mr. Malone’s adult children) and the beneficiaries of which are Mr. Malone’s adult children, as to which shares Mr. Malone has no pecuniary interest and disclaims beneficial ownership), which represent approximately 93.1% of the outstanding shares of Series B Common Stock. The foregoing percentages were calculated based on the 18,236,186 shares of Series A Common Stock and 2,022,532 shares of Series B Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”). Furthermore, 7,183,812 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), were outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as reported by the Issuer in the Form 10-Q. Each share of Series A Common Stock is entitled to one vote, each share of Series B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes, and each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to one-third of a vote, in each case, on all matters presented to stockholders of the Issuer for their approval. Accordingly, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own voting equity securities representing 49.1% of the voting power with respect to the general election of directors of the Issuer.

Mr. Malone, and, to his knowledge, the LM Revocable Trust, the CRT, the Malone Family Land Preservation Foundation and the Malone Family Foundation each have the sole power to vote and to dispose of, or to direct the voting or disposition of, their respective shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. To Mr. Malone’s knowledge, the Trusts have the sole power to vote and to dispose of, or to direct the voting or disposition of, the shares of Series B Common Stock held by the Trusts, except that Mr. Malone is permitted under the terms of the Trusts to substitute assets in the Trusts and thereby may acquire any shares held in the Trusts at any time.

(c)          None of Mr. Malone nor, to his knowledge, the LM Revocable Trust, the CRT, the Malone Family Land Preservation Foundation, the Malone Family Foundation or the Trusts, has effected any transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the 60 days preceding the date hereof.

(d)          Not applicable.

(e)          Not applicable.
