Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This proxy statement includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about business strategies and initiatives and their expected benefits and other matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could” or similar terminology. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations and assumptions and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, including, among other things, possible changes in market acceptance of new products or services, regulatory matters affecting our businesses, the unfavorable outcome of pending or future litigation, the failure to realize benefits of acquisitions, rapid industry change, failure of third parties to perform, continued access to capital on terms acceptable to Liberty Live Holdings, changes in law, including consumer protection laws, and their enforcement. Additional information regarding risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is included from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026 (the 2025 Form 10-K), and in our subsequent periodic reports. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations.

NOTICE AND ACCESS OF PROXY MATERIALS
We have elected, in accordance with the SEC “Notice and Access” rule, to deliver a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) to our stockholders and to post our proxy statement and our annual report to our stockholders (collectively, the proxy materials) electronically. The Notice is first being mailed to our stockholders on or about March 27, 2026. The proxy materials will first be made available to our stockholders on or about the same date.
The Notice instructs you how to access and review the proxy materials and how to submit your proxy via the Internet. The Notice also instructs you how to request and receive a paper copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card or voting instruction form, at no charge. We will not mail a paper copy of the proxy materials to you unless specifically requested to do so. The Notice is not a form for voting and presents only an overview of the more complete proxy materials, which contain important information and are available to you on the Internet or by mail. We encourage you to access and review the proxy materials before voting.

We have adopted a procedure, approved by the SEC, called “householding.” Under this procedure, stockholders of record who have the same address and last name and did not receive a Notice of Internet Availability or otherwise receive their proxy materials electronically will receive only one copy of this Proxy Statement, unless we are notified that one or more of these stockholders wishes to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees.

If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate copy of this Proxy Statement or if you do not wish to continue to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of these documents in the future, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. as indicated above.
ELECTRONIC DELIVERY
Registered stockholders may elect to receive future notices and proxy materials by e-mail. To sign up for electronic delivery, go to www.proxyvote.com. Stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee may sign up for electronic delivery when voting by Internet at www.proxyvote.com, by following the prompts. Also, stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee may sign up for electronic delivery by contacting their nominee. Once you sign up, you will not receive a printed copy of the notices and proxy materials, unless you request them. If you are a registered stockholder, you may suspend electronic delivery of the notices and proxy materials at any time by contacting our transfer agent, Broadridge, at (866) 321-8020 (outside the United States (303) 974-3742). Stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee should contact their nominee to suspend electronic delivery.

that is printed on your Notice or proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the meeting on May 11, 2026.
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES VOTING DURING THE ANNUAL MEETING. If during the check-in time or during the annual meeting you have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the applicable virtual meeting website, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. will have technicians ready to assist you with any individual technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting website. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting website during the check-in or meeting time for the annual meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting website log-in page at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LLYV2026. If we experience technical difficulties during the annual meeting (e.g., a temporary or prolonged power outage), we will determine whether the annual meeting can be promptly reconvened (if the technical difficulty is temporary) or whether the annual meeting will need to be reconvened on a later day (if the technical difficulty is more prolonged). In any such situation, we will promptly notify stockholders of the decision via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LLYV2026.
PURPOSE
At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on each of the following:
•
the election of director proposal, to elect Bill Kurtz to continue serving as a Class I member of our Board until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders or his earlier resignation or removal;
•
the auditors ratification proposal, to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026;
•
the say-on-pay proposal, to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation”; and
•
the say-on-frequency proposal, to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency at which future say-on-pay votes will be held.
You may also be asked to consider and vote on such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting, although we are not aware at this time of any other business that might come before the annual meeting.
| |
Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
|
| |||
| |
Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved each of the proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials and recommends that you vote FOR the director nominee and FOR each of the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal. Our Board of Directors also recommends that you vote in favor of the 3 YEARS frequency option with respect to the say-on-frequency proposal.
|
| |
|
|
QUORUM
In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that the holders of a majority in total voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting stock on the record date (as defined below) must be present or represented by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter. Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of a quorum at the meeting. For purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the meeting even if you indicate on your proxy that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular proposal or proposals, or if those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares (broker non-votes) will nevertheless be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. See “—Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes” below.
WHO MAY VOTE
Holders of shares of LLYVA and LLYVB as recorded in our stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 23, 2026 (such date and time, the record date for the annual meeting), will be entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to vote at the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

6 / 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
|
|
The Annual Meeting
VOTES REQUIRED
If the director nominee receives a plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of director proposal, he will be elected to office.
Approval of each of the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting stock that are present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.
The say-on-frequency provides for stockholders to vote for one of three potential frequencies (every one year, two years or three years) for future say-on-pay votes. Stockholders also have the option to abstain from such vote if they do not wish to express a preference. If one of such frequencies receives a majority of the affirmative votes cast on the say-on-frequency proposal by holders of shares of our voting stock that are present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, the frequency receiving such majority vote will be considered the frequency that has been recommended by stockholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on our Board of Directors or our company in any way, our Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our company and its stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders. If no frequency receives the requisite majority, our Board of Directors will carefully consider the outcome of the vote and decide the frequency at which future advisory votes on executive compensation will be held.
Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of each required vote.
VOTES YOU HAVE
At the annual meeting, holders of shares of LLYVA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of LLYVB will have ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show are owned as of the record date. Holders of shares of LLYVK will not be eligible to vote at the annual meeting.
SHARES OUTSTANDING
As of the record date, 25,573,685 shares of LLYVA and 2,530,951 shares of LLYVB were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.
NUMBER OF HOLDERS
There were, as of the record date, 524 and 33 record holders of LLYVA and LLYVB, respectively (which amounts do not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees, but include each such institution as one holder).
VOTING PROCEDURES FOR RECORD HOLDERS
Holders of record of LLYVA and LLYVB as of the record date may vote via the Internet at the annual meeting or prior to the annual meeting by telephone or through the Internet. Alternatively, if they received a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail.
Holders of record may vote their shares electronically during the meeting via the Internet by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LLYV2026. To enter the annual meeting, holders will need the 16-digit control number that is printed on their Notice or proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the meeting to ensure that they are logged in when the meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the meeting on May 11, 2026.
Instructions for voting prior to the annual meeting by using the Internet are printed on the Notice or the proxy voting instructions attached to the proxy card. In order to vote prior to the annual meeting through the Internet, holders should
| |

|
|
The Annual Meeting
have their Notices or proxy cards available so they can input the required information from the Notice or proxy card, and log onto the Internet website address shown on the Notice or proxy card. When holders log onto the Internet website address, they will receive instructions on how to vote their shares. Unless subsequently revoked, shares of our voting stock represented by a proxy submitted as described herein and received at or before the annual meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. It is recommended that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You may change your vote at the annual meeting.
If you submit a properly executed proxy without indicating any voting instructions as to a proposal enumerated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted “FOR” the election of the director nominee and “FOR” the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal and, in the case of the say-on-frequency proposal, will be voted in favor of the “3 YEARS” frequency option.
If you submit a proxy indicating that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect on the election of director proposal or the say-on-frequency proposal and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” each of the other proposals. If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum, and your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether any of the proposals are approved (if a quorum is present).
VOTING PROCEDURES FOR SHARES HELD IN STREET NAME
GENERAL
If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee when voting your shares or to grant or revoke a proxy. The rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees from voting shares on behalf of their clients without specific instructions from their clients with respect to numerous matters, including, in our case, the election of director proposal, the say-on-pay proposal and the say-on-frequency proposal, each as described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on these matters, we encourage you to provide promptly specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.
EFFECT OF BROKER NON-VOTES
Broker non-votes are counted as shares of our voting stock present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum but will have no effect on any of the proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of LLYVA and LLYVB or how to change your vote or revoke your proxy.
REVOKING A PROXY
If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the annual meeting, you may change your vote by attending the annual meeting online and voting via the Internet at the annual meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Any signed proxy revocation or later-dated proxy must be received before the start of the annual meeting. In addition, you may change your vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 10, 2026 for shares held directly.
Your attendance at the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you.
If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
We are soliciting proxies by means of our proxy materials on behalf of our Board of Directors. In addition to this mailing, our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We also reimburse

Proposal 1 – The Election of Director Proposal
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERVIEW
| |
What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote?
|
|
Our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors, divided among three classes. Our Class I director, whose term will expire at the 2026 annual meeting, is Bill Kurtz. This director is nominated for election to our Board to continue serving as a Class I director, and we have been informed that Mr. Kurtz is willing to continue serving as a director of our company. The term of the Class I director who is elected at the annual meeting will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2029. Our Class II directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2027, are David J.A. Flowers and Carl E. Vogel. Our Class Ill directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2028, are Robert R. Bennett and Derek Chang. Mr. Kurtz joined our Board in connection with our split-off from Liberty Media in December 2025 (the Split-Off). Mr. Kurtz will be standing for election by our stockholders for the first time at the annual meeting.
If the director nominee should decline election or should become unable to serve as a director of our company for any reason before election at the annual meeting, votes will be cast by the persons appointed as proxies for a substitute nominee, if any, designated by the Board of Directors.
The following lists the nominee for election as a director at the annual meeting and the four directors of our company whose term of office will continue after the annual meeting, and includes as to each person how long such person has been a director of our company, such person’s professional background, other public company directorships and other factors considered in the determination that such person possesses the requisite qualifications and skills to serve as a member of our Board of Directors. For additional information on our Board’s evaluation of the director candidate or incumbent directors seeking re-election, see “Corporate Governance—Board Criteria and Director Candidates.” The number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each director is set forth in this proxy statement under the caption “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”
The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Mr. Kurtz, who is nominated for election at the annual meeting, continues to be qualified to serve as a director of our company and such nomination was approved by the entire Board of Directors.
VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION
A plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of director proposal is required to elect Mr. Kurtz as a Class I member of our Board of Directors.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE DIRECTOR NOMINEE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
It is our policy that a majority of the members of our Board of Directors be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. To assist our Board of Directors in determining which of our directors qualify as independent for purposes of Nasdaq rules as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our Board of Directors follows Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules on the criteria for director independence.
Our Board of Directors has determined that each of David J.A. Flowers, Bill Kurtz and Carl E. Vogel qualifies as an independent director of our company.
BOARD COMPOSITION
As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Director Proposal,” our Board is comprised of directors with a broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in sports, media and telecommunications, venture capital, investment banking and finance. Our Board is also chronologically diverse with our members’ ages spanning three decades. For more information on our policies with respect to Board candidates, see “—Board Criteria and Director Candidates” below.
BOARD CLASSIFICATION
As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Director Proposal,” our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors, divided among three classes. Our Board believes that its current classified structure, with directors serving for three-year terms, is the appropriate board structure for our company at this time and is in the best interests of our stockholders for the following reasons.
LONG-TERM FOCUS & ACCOUNTABILITY
Our Board believes that a classified board encourages our directors to look to the long-term best interest of our company and our stockholders, rather than being unduly influenced by the short-term focus of certain investors and special interests. In addition, our Board believes that three-year terms focus director accountability on the Board’s long-term strategic vision and performance, rather than short-term pressures and circumstances.
CONTINUITY OF BOARD LEADERSHIP
A classified board allows for a greater amount of stability and continuity providing institutional perspective and knowledge to both management and less-tenured directors. By its very nature, a classified board ensures that at any given time there will be experienced directors serving on our Board who are fully immersed in and knowledgeable about our businesses, including our relationships with current and potential strategic partners, as well as the competition, opportunities, risks and challenges that exist in the industries in which our businesses operate. We also believe the benefit of a classified board to our company and our stockholders comes not from continuity alone but rather from the continuity of highly qualified, engaged and knowledgeable directors focused on long-term stockholder interests. The nominating and corporate governance committee works actively to ensure our Board continues to be comprised of such individuals.
BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
Our Board has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer). Robert R. Bennett holds the position of Chairman of the Board, leads our Board and Board meetings and provides strategic guidance to our Chief Executive Officer. Chad R. Hollingsworth, our President, holds the position of Chief Executive
| |
18 / 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
|
|
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Officer, leads our management team and is responsible for driving the performance of our company. We believe this division of responsibility effectively assists our Board in fulfilling its duties.
BOARD ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT
The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant Board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks, significant business risk, including operational, data privacy and cybersecurity risks, and risks relating to potential conflicts of interest. Our compensation committee oversees the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements with senior officers. The nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the nomination of individuals with the judgment, skills, integrity and independence necessary to oversee the key risks associated with our company, as well as risks inherent in our corporate structure. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full Board. In addition, the oversight and review of other strategic risks are conducted directly by the full Board.
The oversight responsibility of the Board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical short-, intermediate- and long-term risks. These areas of focus include existing and emerging strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, cybersecurity and other risks, including those related to material environmental and social matters such as climate change, human capital management and community relations.
CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, which constitutes our “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at https://www.libertyliveholdings.com/investors/corporate-governance/governance-documents.
INSIDER TRADING POLICY
We are committed to promoting high standards of ethical business conduct and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. As part of this commitment, our company has adopted an Insider Trading Policy which governs among other things, the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our company’s securities, including by our directors, officers and employees. We believe our Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to us. Because our Insider Trading Policy and procedures are designed to address transactions in our company’s securities by our directors, officers, and employees, we do not have formal insider trading policies or procedures that govern our purchase of our company’s securities. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19 to the 2025 Form 10-K.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS; LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption.
During the past ten years, none of our directors and executive officers has had any involvement in such legal proceedings as would be material to an evaluation of his or her ability or integrity.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors has four standing committees: audit, compensation, executive and nominating and corporate governance. The key responsibilities and focus areas of each committee, as well as their current members and information on number of meetings during 2025 are set forth below. The written charters for the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees as adopted by each such committee, as well as our corporate governance guidelines (which were developed by the nominating and corporate governance committee), can be found on our website at www.libertyliveholdings.com.

22 / 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
|
|
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
BOARD CRITERIA AND DIRECTOR CANDIDATES
BOARD CRITERIA. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that nominees for director should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the long-term interests of our stockholders. To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. As described in our corporate governance guidelines, director candidates are identified and nominated based on broad criteria, with the objective of identifying and retaining directors that can effectively develop our company’s strategy and oversee management’s execution of that strategy. In the director candidate identification and nomination process, our Board seeks a breadth of experience from a variety of industries and from professional disciplines, along with other characteristics. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one recommended by a stockholder, the nominating and corporate governance committee will take into account a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
•
independence from management;
•
his or her unique background, including education, professional experience, relevant skill sets and personal characteristics;
•
judgment, skill, integrity and reputation;
•
existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner;
•
personal conflicts of interest, if any; and
•
the size and composition of the existing Board of Directors, including whether the potential director nominee would positively impact the composition of the Board by bringing a new perspective or viewpoint to the Board of Directors.
The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.
OUTSIDE COMMITMENTS. In recent years, some investors and proxy advisors have instituted “bright-line” proxy voting policies on the number of outside public company boards that a director may serve on. Our Board of Directors recognizes investors’ concerns that highly sought-after directors could lack the time and attention to adequately perform their duties and responsibilities, and considers each director’s performance and commitment to ensure their continued effectiveness as a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee recognizes and values the benefits derived by our directors from their service on other public company boards, as such service provides our directors with diverse perspectives, in-depth industry knowledge and cross-industry insights, all of which enhance the knowledge base and skill set of our Board as a whole.
Our Board also recognizes the uniqueness of the relationships among our company, GCI Liberty, Liberty Media and Liberty Broadband, including the collaborative approach to addressing and better managing the portfolio of assets within each of these public companies. To the extent our directors serve on more than one of the boards of these companies, we believe that such service is an important aspect of our directors’ service, as it capitalizes on various synergies between and among these boards. For this reason, we believe that a better presentation of these directors’ outside commitments is to consider the number of their “non-Liberty” public company board directorships (see “—Our Board at a Glance” above). Based on this perspective, we have considered the facts-and-circumstances of the roles of our directors with our company, including the following considerations:
•
from a historical perspective, the significant time and resources each of these directors has regularly dedicated to our company;
•
the nature of their board commitments relating to their respective roles with these companies;
•
the synergies between their respective service on these other boards and ours;
•
their respective service on “non-Liberty” public company board directorships; and
•
the respective directors’ personal skills, expertise and qualifications (including the broad industry knowledge of each such director).
We believe that the outside service of our directors does not conflict with, and instead enhances, their respective roles and responsibilities at our company.

When seeking candidates for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also ask the candidate to meet with management. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to our Board of Directors, it may recommend to the full Board that candidate’s nomination and election.
Prior to nominating an incumbent director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the director’s past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the Board and its committees and the director’s formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted by the Board and the Board committees of which such individual is a member. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider any outside directorships held by such individual. See “—Outside Commitments” above.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
As discussed below, awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2025 incentive plan) are administered by our Board of Directors or our compensation committee. Our Board of Directors has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The 2025 incentive plan is designed to provide our nonemployee directors with additional remuneration for services rendered, to encourage their investment in our common stock and to aid in attracting persons of exceptional ability to become nonemployee directors of our company. Our Board of Directors may grant non-qualified stock options (options or stock options), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, RSUs, performance awards and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2025 incentive plan.
The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2025 incentive plan is 15,000,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the plan. Under the 2025 incentive plan, no nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value determined on the date of grant in excess of $1 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2025 incentive plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

Proposal 2 – The Auditors Ratification Proposal

What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote?
|
|
Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the audit committee of our Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if our audit committee determines that such a change would be advisable. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our audit committee will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the year ending December 31, 2026.
A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be available to answer appropriate questions at the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires.
VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION
The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting stock that are present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required to approve the auditors ratification proposal.
| |
OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal because KPMG LLP is an independent firm with few ancillary services and reasonable fees, and has significant industry and financial reporting expertise.

AUDIT FEES AND ALL OTHER FEES
The following table presents fees incurred for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for 2025 and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP.

Proposal 2 – The Auditors Ratification Proposal
POLICY ON PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as pre-approved services):
•
audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services associated with registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed or issued in connection with securities offerings (including comfort letters and consents), (iii) attestations of management reports on our internal controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions;
•
audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial statement audits of employee benefit plans, (iii) consultations with management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions, (iv) attest services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of our consolidated financial statements, (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions, and (vii) general assistance with implementation of the requirements of certain SEC rules or listing standards; and
•
tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and review services, expatriate tax assistance and compliance and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if, in the reasonable judgment of our Chief Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer, an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is likely to result in fees in excess of $100,000, or if individual projects under $100,000 are likely to equal or exceed $500,000 during the period between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee. Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Carl E. Vogel currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditor is required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of our audit committee.
Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
All services provided by our independent auditor during 2025 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy in place.

Audit Committee Report
Audit Committee Report
Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our Board of Directors, based on the listing standards of Nasdaq. Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC’s independence requirements for members of audit committees. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Vogel is an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations.
The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Directors. Management has primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and for the public reporting process. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated financial statements. Our audit committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) and the SEC, including that firm’s judgment about the quality of our accounting principles, as applied in its financial reporting.
KPMG LLP has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG LLP that firm’s independence from our company and its subsidiaries.
Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Proposal 3 – The Say-on-Pay Proposal
Proposal 3 – The Say-on-Pay Proposal
| |
What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote?
|
|
We are seeking stockholder approval for the first time of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which include the disclosures under “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables (including all related footnotes) and any additional narrative discussion of compensation included herein. Stockholders are encouraged to read the “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our company’s executive compensation policies and procedures and how they were applied for 2025.
As described in more detail below under “Proposal 4—The Say-on-Frequency Proposal,” we are submitting for stockholder consideration at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders a resolution for an advisory vote regarding the frequency at which future advisory votes on executive compensation should be held. Assuming the frequency of every three years is approved by our stockholders, we currently expect that our next advisory vote on executive compensation will be held in 2029.
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder, and as a matter of good corporate governance, our Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders:
“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and any related narrative discussion.”
ADVISORY VOTE
Although this vote is advisory and non-binding on our Board and our company, our Board and the compensation committee, which are responsible for designing and administering our company’s executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation policies and decisions for named executive officers.
VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION
This advisory resolution, which we refer to as the say-on-pay proposal, will be considered approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting stock that are present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.
| |
OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the say-on-pay proposal because the compensation structure is aligned with our ultimate goal of appropriately motivating our executives to increase long-term company value.

Proposal 4 – The Say-on-Frequency Proposal
Proposal 4 – The Say-on-Frequency Proposal
| |
What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote?
|
|
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-21(b) promulgated thereunder, and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are submitting for stockholder consideration a separate resolution for an advisory vote as to whether a stockholder vote to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers should occur every one, two or three years.
After consideration, our Board of Directors has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every three years is the most appropriate policy for us.
Our Board of Directors believes an advisory vote every three years would allow stockholders to focus on the structure of our overall, long term-oriented compensation program rather than undue focus on the details of an individual year’s payouts. Doing so would be compatible with our compensation philosophy of compensating our executives in a way that ensures they have a continuing stake in our long-term success. An advisory vote every three years would allow stockholders to consider the achievement of performance objectives by our executives that focus on mid- to long-term strategies as opposed to immediate results and enables a longer-term assessment of whether compensation is adequately linked to company performance. An advisory vote every three years would also provide our Board of Directors with sufficient time to thoughtfully consider the result of the advisory vote and to implement any desired changes to our executive compensation program. Our Board of Directors considers compensation matters based on a long-term, multi-year perspective, and we believe it is most helpful if stockholders provide their views based on the same. As a result, our Board of Directors recommends a vote for the holding of advisory votes on named executive officer compensation every three years.
You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, three years or abstaining from voting when you vote in response to the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the option of once every one year, two years or three years that receives a majority of the affirmative votes cast for this resolution will be determined to be the frequency for the advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules that has been selected by Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. stockholders.”
ADVISORY VOTE
Although this vote is advisory and non-binding on our Board and our company, our Board and the compensation committee, which are responsible for designing and administering our company’s executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation policies and decisions for named executive officers.
VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION
Stockholders will be able to cast their vote for one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. Stockholders are not being asked to vote to approve or disapprove our Board of Directors’ recommendation.
If one of the frequencies receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the say-on-frequency proposal by the holders of shares of our voting stock that are present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, the frequency receiving such majority vote will be considered the
| |
32 / 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
|
|
Proposal 4 – The Say-on-Frequency Proposal
frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been recommended by stockholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on our Board of Directors or our company in any way, our Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our company and its stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders. If no frequency receives the requisite majority, our Board of Directors will carefully consider the outcome of the vote and decide the frequency at which future advisory votes on executive compensation will be held.
| |
OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE 3 YEARS FREQUENCY OPTION
|
| |
3 YEARS
|
|
| |
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote in favor of the 3 YEARS frequency option with respect to this proposal because it is compatible with our compensation philosophy, which focuses on compensating our executives in a way that ensures they have a continuing stake in our long-term success.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SERVICES AGREEMENT
In connection with the Split-Off, we entered into a services agreement (the services agreement) with Liberty Media in December 2025, pursuant to which Liberty Media provides to our company certain administrative and management services, and we pay Liberty Media a monthly management fee, the amount of which is subject to a quarterly review by our audit committee (and at least an annual review by our compensation committee). As a result, Liberty Media employees, including our named executive officers, are typically not separately compensated by our company other than with respect to equity awards. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we accrued management fees payable to Liberty Media under the amended services agreement of $800 thousand.
ROLE OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS; SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
As a result of the management fee paid to Liberty Media, our compensation committee typically does not expect to provide compensation to the executive officers other than with regard to equity incentive compensation.
EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
Equity Awards Outstanding at Time of Split-Off
Prior to the Split-Off, Liberty Media had granted Mr. Bennett options with respect to Liberty Media’s Series A Liberty Live common stock and Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm options and RSUs with respect to Liberty Media’s Series C Liberty Live common stock, which were adjusted and substituted for options and RSUs, as applicable, relating to LLYVA and LLYVK, as applicable, in accordance with the antidilution provisions of the Liberty Media incentive plan under which they were granted. These awards are described below.
Executive Chairman Options
In December 2025, Liberty Media granted Mr. Bennett 100,000 options with respect to its Series A Liberty Live common stock. These options have an exercise price of $78.57, and will vest in five substantially equal installments on each of December 3, 2026, December 3, 2027, December 3, 2028, December 3, 2029 and December 3, 2030. Such options will expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date.
In connection with the Split-Off, these options were substituted by our company into options with respect to LLYVA (the Executive Chairman Options), subject to the same terms and conditions of the original options granted by Liberty Media.

Executive Compensation
Other NEO Awards
Performance-based RSUs. In May 2025, Liberty Media granted to Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm 1,241, 3,180 and 6,205 performance-based RSUs with respect to its Series C Liberty Live common stock. These RSUs vest subject to the satisfaction of performance objectives set by the compensation committee of the board of directors of Liberty Media.
In connection with the Split-Off, these RSUs were substituted by our company into RSUs with respect to LLYVK (the Assumed 2025 Performance-based RSUs), subject to the same terms and conditions of the original RSUs granted by Liberty Media.
Our compensation committee reviewed the 2025 financial performance of our company along with the 2025 personal performance of Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm. Our compensation committee approved vesting in full of the Assumed 2025 Performance-based RSUs based on their assessment of individual performance against the goals established in connection with the performance cash bonus program along with general observations of their leadership and executive performance.
Time-based RSUs. In December 2025, Liberty Media granted to Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm 4,754, 3,046 and 5,942 time-based RSUs with respect to its Series C Liberty Live common stock. These RSUs will vest on December 3, 2026.
In connection with the Split-Off, these RSUs were substituted by our company into RSUs with respect to LLYVK (the Assumed 2025 Time-based RSUs), subject to the same terms and conditions of the original RSUs granted by Liberty Media.
Multiyear Equity Awards. In December 2023, Liberty Media granted to each of Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm a multiyear stock option award (the 2023 LMC Multiyear Options) and a multiyear RSU award (the 2023 LMC Multiyear RSUs), which collectively equaled the value of the annual grants that were expected to be granted to each for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. Approximately two-thirds of the 2023 LMC Multiyear Options vested prior to the Split-Off and the remaining one-third will vest on December 8, 2026, and the 2023 LMC Multiyear Options expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Approximately two-thirds of the 2023 LMC Multiyear RSUs vested prior to the Split-Off and the remaining one-third will vest on December 9, 2026.
In connection with the Split-Off, the unexercised portion of the 2023 LMC Multiyear Options that was granted by Liberty Media with respect to Liberty Media’s Series C Liberty Live common stock (whether vested prior to the Split-Off or unvested and scheduled to vest on December 8, 2026) and the unvested portion of the 2023 LMC Multiyear RSUs that was granted by Liberty Media with respect to Liberty Media’s Series C Liberty Live common stock, in each case, were substituted by our company into options and RSUs, as applicable, with respect to LLYVK (the Assumed 2023 Multiyear Options and Assumed 2023 Multiyear RSUs, respectively), subject to the same terms and conditions of the original 2023 LMC Multiyear Options and 2023 LMC Multiyear RSUs that were granted with respect to Liberty Media’s Series C Liberty Live common stock.
PERQUISITES AND OTHER PERSONAL BENEFITS
The perquisites and other personal benefits available to our executives (that are not otherwise available to all of our salaried employees) consist of limited personal use of Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft (pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between our company and Liberty Media). In addition, on occasion, and with the appropriate approvals, executives may have family members and other guests accompany them on Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft when traveling on business.
For disclosure purposes, Liberty Media determines the aggregate incremental cost to Liberty Media of the executives’ personal flights by using a method that takes into account all operating costs related to such flights, including:
•
landing and parking expenses;
•
crew travel expenses;
•
supplies and catering;
•
aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight;
| |
LIBERTY LIVE HOLDINGS, INC. / 37
|
|
Executive Compensation
•
aircraft maintenance and upkeep;
•
any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; and
•
passenger ground transportation.
Because Liberty Media’s aircraft is used primarily for business travel, this methodology excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as salaries of pilots and crew, and purchase or lease costs of aircraft.
For purposes of determining an executive’s taxable income, personal use of Liberty Media’s aircraft is valued using a method based on Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rates, as published by the Treasury Department. The amount determined using the SIFL rates is typically lower than the amount determined using the incremental cost method. Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the amount that may be deducted for U.S. federal income tax purposes for a purely personal flight is limited to the amount included in the taxable income of the executives who took the flight. Also, the deductibility of any non-business use will be limited by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) to the extent that the named executive officer’s compensation that is subject to that limitation exceeds $1 million.
RECOUPMENT PROVISIONS
The Board of Directors approved a policy for the recovery of erroneously awarded compensation, or “clawback” policy, applicable to executive officers. The policy implements the incentive-based compensation recovery provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 as required under the Nasdaq listing standards, and requires recovery of incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers during the three fiscal years preceding the date it is determined that our company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, including to correct an error that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The amount required to be recovered is the excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation received over the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial measure. In addition, our company has maintained its recoupment provisions whereby our company may require an executive to repay or return to our company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or SARs). That right will arise if (1) a material restatement of any of our financial statements is required and (2) in the reasonable judgment of our compensation committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the executive. In determining the amount of such repayment or return, our compensation committee may take into account, among other factors it deems relevant, the extent to which the market value of the applicable series of our common stock was affected by the errors giving rise to the restatement. Under these recoupment provisions, the cash, stock or other compensation that we may require the executive to repay or return must have been received by the executive during the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the SEC, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement, and the compensation required to be repaid or returned will include (1) cash or company stock received by the executive (A) upon the exercise during that 12-month period of any stock appreciation right held by the executive or (B) upon the payment during that 12-month period of any incentive compensation, the value of which is determined by reference to the value of company stock, and (2) any proceeds received by the executive from the disposition during that 12-month period of company stock received by the executive upon the exercise, vesting or payment during that 12-month period of any award of equity-based incentive compensation. Additionally, beginning in December 2020, Liberty Media began including in new forms of equity-based award agreements a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to our company, upon a reasonable determination by our compensation committee that the executive breached the confidentiality obligations included in the agreement, all or any portion of the outstanding award, any shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach and any proceeds from the disposition of shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
We did not pay any compensation to our named executive officers in 2025. As described above, any equity awards held by the named executive officers were granted by Liberty Media prior to the Split-Off and substituted with awards with respect to LLYVA and LLYVK, as applicable. Our named executive officers’ entire base salaries and annual performance bonuses are paid by Liberty Media, even though a portion of such base salary and annual performance bonus may ultimately be borne by our company. Although our named executive officers’ base salaries, annual performance bonuses and time spent for our company are considered when determining the management fee, no portion of our named executive officers’ entire base salary or annual performance bonus is reflected in a “Summary Compensation Table” of our company given that there is not a specific portion thereof allocated to our company.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
The 2025 incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors and employees of Liberty Media providing services to us and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. Non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing may be granted under the 2025 incentive plan (collectively, as used in this description of the 2025 incentive plan, awards). The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 15,000,000 shares, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2025 incentive plan. No nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $1 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company, including shares purchased on the open market. The 2025 incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee with regard to all awards granted under the 2025 incentive plan (other than awards granted to the nonemployee directors which may be administered by our full Board of Directors or the compensation committee), and the compensation committee has full power and authority to determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The 2025 incentive plan is the only incentive plan under which awards will be made.
In connection with the Split-Off, equity incentive awards with respect to our common stock were issued in connection with adjustments made to outstanding options and RSUs with respect to shares of Liberty Media Series A Liberty Live common stock and Series C Liberty Live common stock which were granted to our employees, including our named executive officers, pursuant to the various stock incentive plans administered by the Liberty Media board of directors or the compensation committee thereof. These awards were issued pursuant to the Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (the transitional plan), which governs the terms of such awards but will not be used to make any additional grants following the Split-Off.
PAY RATIO INFORMATION
We are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the total compensation of Mr. Hollingsworth, our chief executive officer on December 31, 2025, pursuant to the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We believe our pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules. However, because these rules provide flexibility in determining the methodology, assumptions and estimates used to determine pay ratios and the fact that workforce composition issues differ significantly between companies, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies.
To identify our median employee, we first determined our employee population as of December 31, 2025, which consisted of employees located in the U.S., the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Australia representing all full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary employees employed by our company and our subsidiary, Quint, on that date. Using information from our payroll records and Form W-2s, we then measured each employee’s gross wages for 2025, consisting of base salary, commissions, actual bonus payments, long-term incentive cash payments, if any, realized equity award value and taxable fringe benefits. We did not annualize the compensation of employees who were

Executive Compensation
new hires or took a leave of absence in 2025. Also, we did not annualize the compensation of our temporary or seasonal employees. In addition, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments to the gross wages information.
We determined the median employee’s total compensation for the portion of 2025 following the Split-Off, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determined the total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table above. Our median employee’s compensation post Split-Off was $2,667 and our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation post Split-Off was $0, given that we did not pay or grant any compensation to our named executive officers in 2025. Based on this information, the ratio of the compensation post Split-Off of Mr. Hollingsworth, our Chief Executive Officer, to our median employee was estimated to be 0:1.
If Mr. Hollingsworth’s Assumed 2025 Time-based RSUs, whereby the underlying restricted stock units granted by Liberty Media were granted just prior to the Split-Off with a grant date value equal to $385,217, were included in the ratio, the ratio of our Chief Executive Officer’s total annual compensation to that of the median employee would have been 144:1.
GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS
We did not grant any equity awards to our named executive officers in 2025. As described above, any equity awards held by the named executive officers were granted by Liberty Media prior to the Split-Off and substituted with awards with respect to LLYVA and LLYVK, as applicable.

Executive Compensation
OPTION EXERCISES AND STOCK VESTED
There was no vesting of RSUs in 2025 and none of our named executive officers exercised stock options.
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment had terminated or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2025, which was the last day of our last completed fiscal year. In the event of such a termination or change in control, the actual amounts may be different due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify these arrangements from time to time.
The amounts provided in the table are based on the closing market price on December 31, 2025 for LLYVA, which was $81.50, and LLYVK, which was $83.16. The value of the RSUs shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of unvested RSUs that would have vested in the applicable termination scenario according to the terms of the applicable award.
VOLUNTARY TERMINATION
Each of the named executive officers holds equity awards that were issued under our existing incentive plans. Under these plans and the related award agreements, in the event of a voluntary termination of his or her employment with our company for any reason, each named executive officer would typically only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his or her termination date. None of our named executive officers are entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his or her employment.
TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
All outstanding equity grants constituting options, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised and all equity grants constituting unvested RSUs under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer who is terminated for “cause”. Unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, each of the 2025 incentive plan and transitional plan define “cause” as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity; provided that, if such termination is within 12 months after a change in control (as described below), “cause” means a felony conviction for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement.
TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION FOR GOOD REASON
As of December 31, 2025, Mr. Bennett’s unvested equity award was his Executive Chairman Options and Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm’s unvested equity awards were the last vesting tranche of each of their Assumed 2023 Multiyear RSUs and Assumed 2023 Multiyear Options and their Assumed 2025 Performance-based RSUs and Assumed 2025 Time-based RSUs. Upon a termination of employment without cause as of December 31, 2025, for Mr. Bennett, subject to his execution of a release of claims, the Executive Chairman Options would have become vested and, for Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm, the final vesting tranches of the Assumed 2023 Multiyear RSUs and Assumed 2023 Multiyear Options would have vested and the Assumed 2025 Performance-based RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Messrs. Hollingsworth and Wendling and Ms. Wilm would have forfeited the Assumed 2025 Time-based RSUs. None of our executive officers are entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a termination without cause.
DEATH
In the event of death of any of the named executive officers, the incentive plans and applicable award agreements would have provided for vesting of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards. None of the named

Executive Compensation
executive officers would have been entitled to any severance pay or other benefits from our company if he or she had died while employed by our company, assuming a termination date as of December 31, 2025.
DISABILITY
If the employment of any of the named executive officers had been terminated due to disability, which is defined in the incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements would have provided for vesting of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any RSUs.
CHANGE IN CONTROL
In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards held by the named executive officers. A change in control is generally defined as:
•
The acquisition by a non-exempt person (as defined in the incentive plans) of beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of our company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, other than pursuant to a transaction approved by our Board of Directors.
•
The individuals constituting our Board of Directors over any two consecutive years cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the Board to approve new members by approval of at least two-thirds of the remaining directors.
•
Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes (i) the persons who were common stockholders of our company immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, (ii) the sale of substantially all of the assets of our company, (iii) the dissolution of our company or (iv) the individuals constituting our Board of Directors immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or binding share exchange to continue to constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors immediately following the merger, consolidation or binding share exchange.

Executive Compensation
PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
This section provides information about the relationship between compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers and certain financial performance measures of our company. For purposes of this section, the amount of compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers is determined using the valuation methods prescribed by the SEC in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Although the rules describe such amount as compensation actually paid, these amounts are not reflective of the taxable compensation actually paid to our named executive officers in a covered year. As described in more detail below, to determine the amount of compensation actually paid in a covered year, Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K requires that in each covered year we (1) deduct the grant date value of equity awards reported in the Stock Awards or Option Awards columns in the Summary Compensation Table from the Total column in the Summary Compensation Table; (2) add, for awards granted in the covered year, the fair value of the equity awards (i) as of the end of a covered year or (ii) as of the vesting date, as applicable; and (3) add or subtract, for awards granted in, and outstanding at the end of, a prior year (i) the change in the fair value from the end of the prior year to the end of the current year or (ii) from the end of the prior year to the date the awards vest in the covered year, as applicable.

The 2025 incentive plan permits grants of, or with respect to, shares of any series of our common stock, subject to a single aggregate limit. The maximum number of shares reserved under the 2025 incentive plan is equal to 15,000,000. The amounts reported for the 2025 incentive plan reflect 11,545 shares of LLYVK to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options and 139,131 shares of LLYVK to be issued upon the settlement of restricted stock units. The weighted average exercise price does not take into account restricted stock units, which by their nature do not have an exercise price.
(2)
The transitional plan governs the terms and conditions of new LLYVA options and LLYVK options and RSUs that were, in each case, granted in connection with the Split-Off as a result of adjustments made to outstanding options and RSUs with respect to Liberty Media common stock. As a result, our company does not anticipate further grants will be permitted under this plan. The amounts reported for the transitional plan reflect 100,000 shares of LLYVA and 1,236,347 shares of LLYVK, respectively, to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options and 140,243 shares of LLYVK to be issued upon the settlement of restricted stock units. For restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting requirements, such amounts vested at 100% of target performance and therefore are reflected as such in the above table. The weighted average exercise price does not take into account restricted stock units, which by their nature do not have an exercise price.

Beneficial ownership of our common stock is set forth below only to the extent known by us or ascertainable from public filings.
Unless otherwise indicated, the security ownership information with respect to our common stock is given as of January 31, 2026 and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon (1) 25,573,685 LLYVA shares, (2) 2,530,951 LLYVB shares and (3) 63,827,033 LLYVK shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. The percentage voting power is presented on an aggregate basis for all LLYVA and LLYVB shares. LLYVK shares are, however, non-voting and, therefore, in the case of percentage voting power, are not included. For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of LLYVB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of LLYVA, are reported as beneficial ownership of LLYVB only, and not as beneficial ownership of LLYVA.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information with respect to the ownership by each of our directors and named executive officers (as defined herein) and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group of shares of each series of our common stock (LLYVA, LLYVB and LLYVK). The security ownership information with respect to our common stock is given as of January 31, 2026 and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon (1) 25,573,685 LLYVA shares, (2) 2,530,951 LLYVB shares and (3) 63,827,033 LLYVK shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. The percentage voting power is presented below on an aggregate basis for all LLYVA and LLYVB shares. LLYVK shares are, however, non-voting and, therefore, in the case of percentage voting power, are not included.
Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after January 31, 2026 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person and for the aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person. So far as is known to us, the persons indicated below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares indicated as owned by them, except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

In connection with the Split-Off, our company and Liberty Media entered into the agreements described below.
Reorganization Agreement. Prior to the completion of the Split-Off, on December 14, 2025, we entered into a reorganization agreement (the Reorganization Agreement) to provide for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Split-Off, certain conditions to the Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between us and Liberty Media with respect to and resulting from the Split-Off.
The Reorganization Agreement also provides for mutual indemnification obligations, which are designed to make our company financially responsible for substantially all of the liabilities that may exist relating to the businesses included in our company at the time of the Split-Off together with certain other specified liabilities, as well as for all liabilities incurred by our company after the Split-Off, and to make Liberty Media financially responsible for all potential liabilities of our company which are not related to our businesses, including, for example, any liabilities arising as a result of our company having been a subsidiary of Liberty Media, together with certain other specified liabilities. These indemnification obligations exclude any matters relating to taxes. For a description of the allocation of tax-related obligations, please see “—Tax Sharing Agreement” below. In addition, the Reorganization Agreement provides for each of us and Liberty Media to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of the other party for the longer of five years following the Split-Off or three years following the disclosure of such information, subject to customary exceptions, including disclosures required by law, court order or government regulation.
The foregoing description of the Reorganization Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 15, 2025.

In addition, we must indemnify Liberty Media for taxes and losses allocated to us under the Tax Sharing Agreement and for taxes and losses arising from a breach by us of our covenants and obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Tax Sharing Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Tax Sharing Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 15, 2025.

In addition, we reimburse Liberty Media for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty Media in providing the services.
The Services Agreement generally continues in effect until December 31st of the third calendar year following the Split-Off, unless earlier terminated (1) at any time on at least 30 days’ prior written notice, (2) by Liberty Media upon written notice to our company following a change in control or certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events affecting our company or (3) by our company, upon written notice to Liberty Media, following certain changes in control of Liberty Media or Liberty Media being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

We pay a sharing fee for use of the office based on a comparable fair market rental rate and an estimate of the usage of the office facilities by or on behalf of our company. The Facilities Sharing Agreement generally continues in effect for an initial three-year term, unless earlier terminated (1) by our company at any time on at least 30 days’ prior written notice, (2) concurrently with the termination of the Services Agreement, (3) by LPH upon written notice to our company following a default by our company of any of its material obligations under the Facilities Sharing Agreement, which default remains unremedied for 30 days after written notice of such default is provided, (4) by our company upon written notice to LPH, following certain changes in control of Liberty Media or Liberty Media being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events or (5) by LPH upon written notice to our company, following certain changes in control of our company or our company being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

The Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement provides that Liberty Media leases an aircraft to our company and provides or arranges for a fully qualified flight crew for all operations on a periodic, non-exclusive time sharing basis. We pay Liberty Media an amount equal to the actual expenses of each flight conducted under the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement to the maximum extent permitted under Federal Aviation Administration rules (which we estimate will be a de minimis amount for the first year under the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement). Such expenses may include fuel, oil, lubricants and other additives (plus an additional charge of 100% thereof), travel expenses of the crew, hanger and tie down costs, insurance obtained for a specific flight, landing fees, airport taxes and similar assessments, customs and similar fees, in-flight food and beverage costs, ground transportation, flight planning and weather contact services. The Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement will continue in effect until the close of business on December 15, 2026, and then will be automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis, unless terminated earlier by either party upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice or upon a sale of the aircraft.
The foregoing description of the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.4 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 15, 2025.
