Exhibit 99.1

Executive and Director Compensation Information

        The following sets forth information concerning the compensation of the named executive officers and directors of Liberty Media Corporation and Liberty Interactive Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Liberty Media Corporation

        The following information concerning the compensation of the named executive officers and directors of Liberty Media Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2013 is substantially the same as that which appears in Liberty Media Corporation's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2014 relating to its 2014 annual meeting of stockholders (the "LMC proxy statement"). References such as "we," "us" and "our" refer to Liberty Media Corporation and not Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. Terms used below but not defined have the meanings assigned to the them in the LMC proxy statement.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        This section sets forth information relating to, and an analysis and discussion of, compensation paid by our company to the following persons (who we collectively refer to as our named executive officers):


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        The compensation committee of our board of directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and regularly monitoring adherence to our compensation philosophy. That philosophy seeks to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating and rewarding our executives in an effort to increase stockholder value. To that end, the compensation packages provided to the named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone) include both cash and stock-based incentive compensation, with an emphasis placed on performance-based compensation.

        The compensation committee seeks to approve a compensation package for each named executive officer that is commensurate with the responsibilities and proven performance of that executive and that is competitive relative to the compensation packages paid to similarly situated executives in other companies. The compensation committee does not engage in any regular benchmarking analysis; rather, it is familiar with the range of total compensation paid by other companies and uses this range as a guide to ensure that the named executive officers receive attractive compensation packages. The compensation committee believes that our compensation packages should assist our company in attracting and retaining key executives critical to our long-term success.

        In the case of all our named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone), the compensation committee believes that performance-based bonuses and equity incentive awards should represent a substantial portion of each named executive officer's compensation package. At the 2012 annual stockholders meeting of our former parent company (Old LMC), stockholders representing 97.25% of the aggregate voting power of Old LMC present and entitled to vote on its say-on-pay proposal approved, on an advisory basis, Old LMC's executive compensation, as disclosed in its proxy statement for the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders. No material changes were implemented to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. In connection with our spin-off from Starz in January 2013 (the LMC Spin-Off), we assumed the existing compensation packages applicable to each named executive officer, as well as the say-on-pay and say-on-frequency votes that were held at the Old LMC 2012 annual meeting.

        Liberty Interactive Corporation.    In September 2011, our former parent company Old LMC was split-off (the Old LMC Split-Off) from its former parent company, Liberty Interactive. In January 2013, Old LMC completed the LMC Spin-Off. In connection with the Old LMC Split-Off, Old LMC entered into a services agreement with Liberty Interactive, which we assumed in the LMC Spin-Off. Pursuant to the services agreement, in 2013, Liberty Interactive compensated us for the portion of the salary and certain other compensation we paid to our employees, including the named executive officers, that was

2


allocable to Liberty Interactive for time spent by each such employee on matters related to that company. However, the 2013 performance-based bonuses earned by the named executive officers of our company and Liberty Interactive were paid directly by our company and Liberty Interactive, respectively, and no portion thereof was allocable under the services agreement. During 2013, the allocable percentages of time spent performing services for Liberty Interactive, on the one hand, and our company, on the other hand, were reviewed quarterly by our Audit Committee for reasonableness. The salaries and certain perquisite information included in the "Summary Compensation Table" below reflect the portion of the compensation paid by and allocable to Liberty Media and do not reflect the portion of the compensation allocable to Liberty Interactive and for which Liberty Interactive reimbursed Liberty Media under the services agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the weighted average percentage of each such named executive officer's time that was allocated to our company was: Mr. Malone—34%; Mr. Maffei—50%; Mr. Baer—52%; Mr. Rosenthaler—56%; and Mr. Shean—50%.

        Starz.    In January 2013, we separated from Starz in the LMC Spin-Off. In connection with the LMC Spin-Off, we entered into a services agreement with Starz, pursuant to which Starz will compensate us for the portion of the salary and other cash compensation we pay to our employees, including our named executive officers (other than Mr. Maffei) for 2013, that is allocable to Starz for time spent by each such employee on matters related to that company. The services agreement provides that Mr. Maffei's base salary will be allocable to Starz for time spent on matters related to Starz and provides that none of Mr. Maffei's performance-based bonus will be allocable to Starz.

        Recommendations with respect to our executive compensation are obtained from our Chief Executive Officer as to all elements of each other named executive officer's compensation package (other than Mr. Malone's). In taking these actions, our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance and contributions of each such other named executive officer, given his respective areas of responsibility, and, in doing so, considers various qualitative factors such as:

        In making its compensation decision for each named executive officer (other than Mr. Malone), our compensation committee considers the following:

3


        Our compensation committee also considers the total compensation paid by companies that operate in the same industries as our company and our subsidiaries and uses this industry knowledge as a guide to determine whether our named executive officers receive attractive compensation packages. Companies in our and our subsidiaries' industries consist of media, telecommunications and entertainment companies, and include companies with which we may compete for executive talent and stockholder investment and also include companies in those industries that are similar to our company in size, geographic location or complexity of operations. Our compensation committee did not re-assess the compensation data in 2013 that it had compiled in prior years with respect to these industries. Rather, it relied on prior year assessments in determining not to make any substantive changes to our executive compensation structure, other than revising the performance-based bonus program to give effect to the impact of the LMC Spin-Off.

        For 2013, the named executive officers' compensation packages (other than that of Mr. Malone) were comprised primarily of a base salary and a performance-based bonus. No new equity awards were granted to any of the named executive officers in 2013, as they all (other than Mr. Malone) received grants of equity incentive awards in prior years that were intended to cover a multi-year period.

        With respect to all named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone), the compensation committee believes in weighing equity incentive compensation more heavily than cash compensation, which is a practice that may not be consistently followed by other companies that operate in the same industry as our company. Mr. Malone's compensation is governed by the terms of his employment agreement with our company. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone."

        For 2013 the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone) were:

Base Salary

        The base salaries of the named executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis (other than Messrs. Malone and Maffei, whose salaries are governed by their respective employment agreements), as well as at the time of any change in responsibilities. Typically, after establishing a named executive officer's base salary, salary increases are limited to cost-of-living adjustments and adjustments based on an evaluation of a named executive officer's job performance, any changes in the scope of the named executive officer's responsibilities, and the named executive officer's salary level compared to other named executive officers. Our compensation committee believes base salary should be a relatively smaller portion of each named executive officer's overall compensation package, thereby aligning the

4


interests of our executives more closely with those of our stockholders. Our compensation committee considered similar factors when setting the base salary and annual increases to be paid to Mr. Maffei and Mr. Baer under their respective employment agreements, which were assumed by our company. Similarly, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Malone's cash compensation is limited. After completion of the annual review described above, the base salaries of Mr. Rosenthaler and Mr. Shean were increased by 3%, reflecting a cost-of-living adjustment. Mr. Maffei received the increase prescribed by his employment agreement and Mr. Baer's base salary for 2013, the first year of employment under his employment agreement, was established pursuant to his employment agreement. Mr. Malone received no increase under the terms of his employment agreement.

2013 Performance-based Bonuses

        For 2013, our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for each of the named executive officers (other than Mr. Malone), which was structured to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The 2013 bonus program was comprised of two components: a bonus amount payable based on each participant's individual performance (the Individual Performance Bonus) and a bonus amount payable based on the corporate performance of our company (the Corporate Performance Bonus). No amounts would be payable under our 2013 bonus program unless a minimum corporate performance was achieved: the combined Adjusted OIBDA of TruePosition, Inc. (TruePosition), the Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc. (ANLBC), certain of our other consolidated subsidiaries, and a proportionate share of the equivalent measure of Adjusted OIBDA of Sirius XM and Live Nation, for the year ended December 31, 2013 was required to exceed $370 million (the Threshold). If the Threshold was met, the notional bonus pool for our company would be funded with 6% of the amount by which such combined Adjusted OIBDA exceeded $370 million (the bonus pool). If the bonus pool was insufficient to cover the aggregate maximum bonus amounts of all participants (as described in more detail below), each participant's maximum bonus amount would be reduced pro rata, for all purposes under the program, based upon his respective maximum bonus amount.

        For purposes of the bonus program, Adjusted OIBDA is defined as revenue less cost of sales, operating expense and SG&A (excluding stock compensation). Neither Sirius XM nor Live Nation reports Adjusted OIBDA information. As a result, we used the most similar non-GAAP measure reported by Sirius XM, Adjusted EBITDA. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA as defined by Sirius XM, please see Sirius XM's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed on February 4, 2014. In addition, we used Adjusted Operating Income to determine Live Nation results. Adjusted Operating Income or AOI is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a definition of AOI as defined by Live Nation, please see Live Nation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed on February 24, 2014.

        Each participant was assigned a maximum bonus amount, expressed as a multiple of his base salary (without giving effect to the allocation of such salary between our company and Liberty Interactive). The maximum bonus amounts were 400%, 200%, 150% and 150% for Messrs. Maffei, Baer, Rosenthaler and Shean, respectively (each participant's Ultimate Maximum Bonus), consistent with the percentages applied to our named executive officers with respect to our previous performance-based bonus programs. Although Liberty Interactive adopted a corollary performance-based bonus program for 2013 with the same maximum bonus amounts achievable by the overlapping named executive officers, our compensation committee and Liberty Interactive's compensation committee agreed that it was the intention of both committees that each overlapping named executive officer would not receive, in the aggregate from the two companies, more than his applicable Ultimate Maximum Bonus.

        Assuming the Threshold was met (and after taking into account any reductions associated with a shortfall in the bonus pool), each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LMC Maximum Individual Bonus) equal to the LMC Allocable Time Percentage (as defined below)

5


multiplied by 60% of his Ultimate Maximum Bonus (the Ultimate Maximum Individual Bonus), subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the participant's achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of our company. The LMC Allocable Time Percentage for each participant is equal to the percentage of such participant's time that was spent performing services for our company under the services agreement, as determined by our compensation committee for purposes of the payment of bonuses: 50% as to Mr. Maffei; 60% as to Mr. Baer; 58% as to Mr. Rosenthaler; and 50% as to Mr. Shean. Under Liberty Interactive's corollary program, each participant was entitled to receive from Liberty Interactive an amount (the LIC Maximum Individual Bonus) equal to the remaining portion of the Ultimate Maximum Individual Bonus, subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the participant's achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of Liberty Interactive. Our compensation committee believes this construct was appropriate in light of the services agreement and the fact that each participant splits his professional time and duties.

        Also, assuming the Threshold was met (and after taking into account any reductions associated with a shortfall in the bonus pool), each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LMC Maximum Corporate Bonus) equal to the LMC Corporate Percentage (as defined below) multiplied by 40% of his Ultimate Maximum Bonus (the Ultimate Maximum Corporate Bonus), subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the corporate performance of our company. The LMC Corporate Percentage was determined by reference to the historical relative market capitalizations of our company and Liberty Interactive. Under Liberty Interactive's corollary program, each participant was entitled to receive from Liberty Interactive an amount (the LIC Maximum Corporate Bonus) equal to the remaining portion of the Ultimate Maximum Corporate Bonus, subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the corporate performance of Liberty Interactive.

        In December 2013, our compensation committee and the Liberty Interactive compensation committee collaborated in their review of our respective named executive officers' individual performance criteria and their review of each company's corporate performance metrics and ensured that the Ultimate Maximum Bonus payable to each overlapping named executive officer was not exceeded. Notwithstanding this collaborative effort, our compensation committee retained sole and exclusive discretion with respect to the approval of award terms and amounts payable under our bonus program.

        Also, in December 2013, our compensation committee determined that the combined Adjusted OIBDA for TruePosition, ANLBC, certain of our other consolidated subsidiaries, and a proportionate share of the equivalent measure of Adjusted OIBDA of Sirius XM and Live Nation, was approximately $787 million using the formula described above, exceeding the Threshold by approximately $417 million, thereby creating a notional bonus pool of approximately $25 million, which exceeded the amount necessary to cover the aggregate maximum bonus amounts of all the participants and enabling each participant to receive a bonus of up to his maximum bonus amount.

        Individual Performance Bonus.    Our compensation committee then reviewed the individual performance of each participant to determine the reductions that would apply to each participant's LMC Maximum Individual Bonus. The compensation committee took into account a variety of factors, without assigning a numerical weight to any single performance measure. This determination was based on reports of our board, the observations of committee members throughout the year, executive self-evaluations and, with respect to the participants other than Mr. Maffei, the observations and input of Mr. Maffei. In evaluating the performance of each of the participants for determining the reduction that would apply to the LMC Maximum Individual Bonus, our compensation committee considered the

Christopher W. Shean

  $ 356,895     50 % $ 178,448  

        Corporate Performance Bonus.    Our compensation committee then made a subjective determination as to the reductions that would apply to each participant's LMC Maximum Corporate Bonus. In making this determination, our compensation committee reviewed forecasts of 2013 Adjusted OIBDA, revenue and free cash flow (as defined below) for TruePosition, ANLBC, certain of our other consolidated subsidiaries, and a proportionate share of Sirius XM and Live Nation, all of which forecasts were prepared in December 2013 and are set forth in the table below. Also set forth in the table below are the corresponding actual financial measures achieved for 2013, which were all slightly higher than our forecasted results for our company. In determining whether any reductions would be made to the LMC Maximum Corporate Bonus payable to each participant, our compensation committee weighted the corporate performance metrics as follows: 25% attributable to revenue growth, 50% attributable to Adjusted OIBDA growth and 25% attributable to growth in free cash flow.

For more information regarding these bonus awards, please see the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table below.

Equity Incentive Compensation

        Consistent with our compensation philosophy, our compensation committee believes in aligning the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders through awards of stock-based incentive compensation. This ensures that our executives have a continuing stake in our long-term success. Our compensation committee believes that stock-based compensation should be weighed more heavily than cash compensation in determining each named executive officer's overall compensation mix.

        The Liberty Media Corporation 2013 Incentive Plan, as amended (the incentive plan), provides for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance awards. Our compensation committee has a preference for grants of stock options and awards of restricted stock (as compared with other types of available awards under the incentive plan) based on the belief that they better promote retention of key employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. It is the policy of our compensation committee that stock options be awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, measured by reference to the closing sale price on the grant date.

        Recently, our compensation committee (and, prior to the Old LMC Split-Off, the Liberty Interactive compensation committee) determined to make larger grants (equaling approximately four to five years' value of the annual grants made in years prior to 2009) that vest between four and five and three-quarters years after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These multi-year grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and generally expire 10 years after grant to encourage executives to remain with the company over the long-term and to better align their interests with those of the stockholders. In that regard, multi-year awards were granted to our named executive officers prior to 2013, and, accordingly, no new equity incentive awards were granted to the named executive officers during the 2013 calendar year.

        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, such as matching contributions to the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan and the payment of life insurance premiums) consist of:

        Taxable income may be incurred by our executives in connection with their receipt of perquisites and personal benefits. Other than as contemplated by Mr. Malone's employment agreement, we have not provided gross-up payments to our executives in connection with any such taxable income incurred during the past three years.

        Aircraft Usage.    On occasion, and with the approval of our Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, executives may have family members and other guests accompany them on our corporate aircraft when traveling on business. Under the terms of the employment arrangements with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, those individuals and their guests may use corporate aircraft for non-business purposes subject to specified limitations.

        Pursuant to a February 2013 letter agreement between us and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. The February 2013 letter agreement replaced in its entirety, on substantially the same terms, a letter agreement originally entered into by Mr. Maffei and Liberty Interactive that was assumed by Old LMC in the Old LMC Split-Off and later by Liberty Media in the LMC Spin-Off). Under Mr. Maffei's employment agreement, if Mr. Maffei's employment terminates due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei will be entitled to continued use of the company's aircraft for 18 months after termination of his employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income, calculated in accordance with the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rates, for all personal use of our corporate aircraft. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against the 120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of budgeted hours under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as compared to the cost of using company owned aircraft.

        The cost of Mr. Malone's personal use of our corporate aircraft, calculated in accordance with SIFL, counts toward his $1 million personal expense allowance (described above).

        For disclosure purposes, we determine incremental cost using a method that takes into account:

10


        Because the company'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, purchase or lease costs of aircraft and costs of maintenance and upkeep.

        Pursuant to our aircraft time sharing agreements with Liberty Interactive, Liberty Interactive pays us for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Malone using our corporate aircraft that are allocable to Liberty Interactive. Pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements with Liberty Interactive and Starz, Liberty Interactive and Starz pay us for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using our corporate aircraft that are allocable to Liberty Interactive or Starz, as the case may be. Starz reimburses us only for Mr. Maffei's use of our corporate aircraft for Starz business.

        For purposes of determining an executive's taxable income, personal use of our aircraft is valued using a method based on 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 we may deduct 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 Code to the extent that the named executive officer's compensation that is subject to that limitation exceeds $1 million. See "—Deductibility of Executive Compensation" below.

Deferred Compensation

        To help accommodate the tax and estate planning objectives of the named executive officers, as well as other executives with the title of Vice President and above, our board of directors assumed the previously established Liberty Media Corporation 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated) in connection with the LMC Spin-Off. Under that plan, participants may elect to defer up to 50% of the portion of their base salaries and their cash performance bonuses that are allocable to our company. Compensation deferred under the plan that otherwise would have been received in 2013 will earn interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, for the period of the deferral. In the LMC Spin-Off, we assumed the plan and all outstanding obligations thereunder. Since the LMC Spin-Off, the named executive officers may not participate in the plan with respect to any portion of their cash performance bonuses paid by Liberty Interactive. In addition, Mr. Shean had a deferral election in place for his 2011 performance-based bonus, with respect to which Liberty Interactive will remain responsible for the payment of such deferred amount and all deferred interest thereon going forward. For more information on this plan, see "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan" and the "—Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans" table below.

        We provide Mr. Malone with certain deferred compensation arrangements that were entered into by our predecessors and assumed by us in connection with the various restructurings that we have undergone. Beginning in February 2009, Mr. Malone began receiving accelerated payments under those deferred compensation arrangements. For more information on these arrangements, see "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone" below.

        In developing the compensation packages for the named executive officers, the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code is considered. That provision prohibits the

11


deduction of compensation of more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. One exception is for performance-based compensation, including stock options granted by our predecessors under their incentive plans (and assumed by us to the extent applicable under the Liberty Media Corporation Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan) or to be granted under the incentive plan. Our compensation committee has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code, in order to maintain flexibility in making compensation decisions. Portions of the compensation we pay to certain of the named executive officers may not be deductible due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code.

        In those instances where we grant cash or equity-based incentive compensation, we include in the related agreement with the executive a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to the company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or stock appreciation rights). 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. 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. 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.

In connection with the Old LMC Split-Off, we assumed the sponsorship and administration of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan, which had previously been sponsored and administered by Liberty Interactive. This plan provides employees with an opportunity to save for retirement. The Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan participants may contribute up to 75% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis to the plan and an additional 10% of their eligible compensation on an after-tax basis (subject to specified maximums and IRS limits), and we contribute a matching contribution based on the participants' own contributions up to the maximum matching contribution set forth in the plan. Participant contributions to the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan are fully vested upon contribution. Prior to our assumption of the plan in the Old LMC Split-Off in 2011, the employer matching contributions to the plan had been made by Liberty Interactive up to the

Executive Compensation Arrangements

        In connection with the merger of TCI and AT&T in 1999, an employment agreement between John C. Malone and TCI was assigned to a predecessor of Liberty Interactive. Mr. Malone's employment agreement and his deferred compensation arrangements, as described below, were assigned to Old LMC in connection with the Old LMC Split-Off and later to our company in connection with the LMC Spin-Off. The term of Mr. Malone's employment agreement is extended daily so that the remainder of the employment term is five years. The employment agreement was amended in June 1999 to provide for, among other things, an annual salary of $2,600, subject to increase with board approval. The employment agreement was amended in 2003 to provide for payment or reimbursement of personal expenses, including professional fees and other expenses incurred by Mr. Malone for estate, tax planning and other services, and for personal use of corporate aircraft and flight crew. The aggregate amount of such payments or reimbursements and the value of his personal use of corporate aircraft was originally limited to $500,000 per year but increased to $1 million effective January 1, 2007 by the Liberty Interactive compensation committee. Although the "Summary Compensation Table" table above reflects the portion of the aggregate incremental cost of Mr. Malone's personal use of our corporate aircraft attributable to our company, the value of his aircraft use for purposes of his employment agreement is determined in accordance with SIFL, which aggregated $187,065 for use of the aircraft by our company and Liberty Interactive during the year ended December 31, 2013. Liberty Interactive is allocated, and reimburses us for, portions of the other components of the payments/reimbursements to Mr. Malone described above.

14


        In December 2008, the Liberty Interactive compensation committee determined to modify Mr. Malone's employment arrangements to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving fixed monthly payments in 2009, in advance of a termination event, in satisfaction of its obligations to him under a 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, a 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and an installment severance plan, in each case, entered into with him by Liberty Interactive's predecessors (and which had been assumed by Liberty Interactive). At the time of the amendment, the amounts owed to Mr. Malone under these arrangements aggregated approximately $2.4 million, $20 million and $39 million, respectively. As a result of these modifications, Mr. Malone receives 240 equal monthly installments, which commenced February 2009, of: (1) approximately $20,000 under the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, (2) approximately $237,000 under the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and (3) approximately $164,000 under the installment severance plan. Interest ceased to accrue under the installment severance plan once these payments began; however, interest continues to accrue on the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 8% per annum and on the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 13% per annum. In connection with the LMC Spin-Off, we assumed these payment obligations from Old LMC, who had in turn assumed them from Liberty Interactive in the Old LMC Split-Off.

        Under the terms of Mr. Malone's employment agreement, he is entitled to receive upon the termination of his employment at our election for any reason (other than for death or "cause"), a lump sum equal to his salary for a period of 5 full years following termination (calculated on the basis of $2,600 per annum, the lump sum severance payment). As described above, in connection with the LMC Spin-Off, we assumed Mr. Malone's employment agreement and all outstanding obligations thereunder from Old LMC (which were previously assumed by Old LMC in the Old LMC Split-Off), and Liberty Interactive will reimburse us for its allocated portion of any such lump sum severance payments made thereunder.

        For a description of the effect of any termination event or a change in control of our company on his employment agreement, see "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control" below.

        Employment Agreement.    On December 17, 2009, the compensation committee of Liberty Interactive approved in principle a new compensation arrangement in favor of Mr. Maffei providing, among other things, for a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2014, with an annual base salary of $1.5 million, increasing annually by 5% of the prior year's base salary, and an annual target cash bonus equal to 200% of the applicable year's annual base salary. On May 17, 2010, Liberty Interactive entered into a definitive employment agreement with Mr. Maffei, memorializing the compensation arrangement that was approved in principle by the Liberty Interactive compensation committee on December 17, 2009. The employment agreement also included terms related to Liberty Interactive equity awards held by Mr. Maffei, including the multi-year award of options that was granted to him on December 17, 2009.

        Prior to our assumption of Mr. Maffei's employment agreement in connection with the LMC Spin-Off, Old LMC assumed Mr. Maffei's 2009 employment agreement in connection with the Old LMC Split-Off and in February 2012 the agreement was amended and restated effective as of September 23, 2011 to reflect the change in employer and to specify the equity awards covered by the agreement following the Old LMC Split-Off, which included Mr. Maffei's December 17, 2009 grant of options. After giving effect to the adjustments made to equity awards in connection with the Old LMC Split-Off, the elimination of Old LMC's tracking stock structure, the creation of the Liberty Ventures tracking stock at Liberty Interactive, the LMC Spin-Off and Old LMC's 2012 option modification program, as of March 31, 2014, the multi-year award granted to Mr. Maffei on December 17, 2009 has been converted into, exchanged for or adjusted to the following equity awards: options to acquire 5,933,101 shares of Liberty Interactive's Series A Liberty Interactive common stock at an exercise price

15


of $19.255, options to acquire 278,831 shares of Liberty Interactive's Series A Liberty Ventures common stock at an exercise price of $58.80, options to acquire 1,179,830 shares of our company's Series A common stock at an exercise price of $94.92, options to acquire 1,184,017 shares of Starz's Series A common stock at an exercise price of $13.32, 813,647 restricted shares of our company's Series A common stock, 813,647 restricted shares of Starz's Series A common stock, 2,591,584 restricted shares of Liberty Interactive's Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and 147,387 restricted shares of Liberty Interactive's Series A Liberty Ventures common stock (as related to our common stock, the Multi-Year Award). One-half of these options and restricted shares vested on December 17, 2013, with the remaining options and restricted shares vesting on December 17, 2014, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei being employed by our company on the applicable vesting date and to the early vesting events described below. The options have a term of 10 years.

        The amended and restated agreement provides that, in the event Mr. Maffei is terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement) he will be entitled only to his accrued base salary, unpaid expenses and any amounts due under applicable law, and he will forfeit all rights to his unvested restricted shares and unvested options. If Mr. Maffei terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled only to his accrued base salary, accrued but unpaid bonus for the prior year, unpaid expenses and any amounts due under applicable law (Standard Payments), and he will forfeit all rights to his unvested restricted shares and unvested options. However, in both cases, his vested, unexercised options and similar rights as of his termination date will remain exercisable either (1) for 90 days after his termination or until the original expiration date of the applicable award, if sooner, or (2) if any such termination of his employment occurs following December 31, 2014 or following a change in control of Liberty Media (as defined in the agreement), until the original expiration date of the applicable award. If Mr. Maffei is terminated by Liberty Media without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason, the agreement provides for him to receive the Standard Payments and a severance payment of $7.8 million and provides for his unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights (including his Multi-Year Award) to vest pro rata based on the portion of the term elapsed through the termination date plus 18 months and for all vested and accelerated options and similar rights to remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates; provided, that if Mr. Maffei continues to be employed by Liberty Interactive following such a termination from Liberty Media, without cause or for good reason, he may elect to have certain of his unvested equity awards continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the agreement based on his continued service with Liberty Interactive. If a termination without cause or for good reason occurs within 90 days before or 210 days after members of the Malone Group (as defined in the agreement) cease to meet certain ownership requirements with respect to Liberty Media as described in the agreement, then Mr. Maffei's unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights granted by Liberty Media will instead vest in full and will remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates. In the case of Mr. Maffei's death or his disability, the agreement provides for the right to receive the Standard Payments and a severance payment of $7.8 million, for his unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights to fully vest and for his vested and accelerated options and similar rights to remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates. Further, in the event of certain change in control transactions, including spin-off or split-off transactions which exceed a specified threshold of Liberty Media's consolidated assets, Mr. Maffei's unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights would vest in full unless Mr. Maffei is named the Chief Executive Officer of the spin-off or split-off entity and his equity awards are adjusted in the transaction in such a manner as to preserve the intrinsic value thereof. In addition, if Mr. Maffei is terminated without cause or due to disability, or terminates his employment for good reason, Mr. Maffei will be entitled to continuation of certain perquisites for 18 months, including use of our corporate aircraft.

        Also pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Maffei is entitled to customary benefits and perquisites provided to senior executive officers of Liberty Media and is entitled through the term of his amended and restated employment agreement (and in certain instances

16


described above, for a period of 18 months after the end of his employment) to use of our corporate aircraft as provided in the February 2013 letter agreement. See "—Aircraft Usage" below. The amended and restated employment agreement further provides that it is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and provides for certain reimbursements to Mr. Maffei in the event the agreement does not so comply. The agreement also contains customary provisions pertaining to confidentiality and limitations on outside activities.

        As described above, in connection with the Old LMC Split-Off and subsequently the LMC Spin-Off, Old LMC and later our company assumed Mr. Maffei's employment agreement and all outstanding obligations thereunder (other than with respect to Liberty Interactive equity awards, which are now governed by a separate agreement between Mr. Maffei and Liberty Interactive). As a result, Liberty Interactive reimburses us for its allocated portion under the services agreement of customary benefits and perquisites to which Mr. Maffei is entitled pursuant to his employment agreement. Liberty Interactive will also reimburse us for its allocated portion of Mr. Maffei's $7.8 million severance payment in the event of his termination as described above.

        Aircraft Usage.    We are party to a February 2013 letter agreement with Mr. Maffei (which replaced the 2008 letter agreement that was assumed by Old LMC in the Old LMC Split-Off and later by Liberty Media in the LMC Spin-Off), pursuant to which he is entitled to personal use of corporate aircraft not to exceed 120 hours of flight time per year through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. Mr. Maffei will continue to incur taxable income, calculated in accordance with SIFL, for all personal use of our corporate aircraft. Pursuant to our aircraft time sharing agreements with Liberty Interactive and Starz, Liberty Interactive and Starz pay us for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using our corporate aircraft that are allocable to Liberty Interactive or Starz, as the case may be. Starz reimburses us only for Mr. Maffei's use of our corporate aircraft for Starz business. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against the 120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of budgeted hours under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as compared to the cost of using company owned aircraft.

        Employment Agreement.    On November 7, 2012, Old LMC entered into an executive employment agreement (the employment agreement), effective October 31, 2012, with Richard Baer. Mr. Baer served as an independent contractor providing consulting services to Old LMC and Liberty Interactive from October 31, 2012 until the start of his employment as Senior Vice President and General Counsel with the companies on January 1, 2013. The employment agreement was assigned to Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Spin-Off. The agreement provides for, among other things, a four year term ending on December 31, 2016, with an annual base salary of $825,000, subject to adjustments at Liberty Media's discretion, and an annual discretionary bonus beginning in the calendar year 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Baer's target bonus for each year is 100% of his annual base salary for that year, and in no event will his bonus for any year be greater than two times his annual base salary. Mr. Baer is also entitled to certain benefits and perquisites available to Liberty Media's senior executives. Pursuant to the agreement, on November 8, 2012, as part of the consideration for his services under the employment agreement, Mr. Baer was granted a combination of options and restricted shares. One-half of these options vest on December 31, 2015, with the remaining options vesting on December 31, 2016, and one-half of these restricted shares vest on each of December 15,

17


2015 and December 15, 2016, in each case, subject to Mr. Baer being employed by our company on the applicable vesting date and to the early vesting events described below. The options have a term of 10 years. The other terms and conditions of Mr. Baer's options and restricted shares, including acceleration and extended exercisability in connection with certain terminations of employment, are described in the applicable award agreements.

        The agreement provides that, in the event Mr. Baer is terminated for cause (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to his accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination and any unpaid expenses. If, however, Mr. Baer terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement) or if his employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), then he is entitled to receive his accrued but unpaid base salary, any unpaid expenses, any accrued but unpaid bonus from the prior year and a severance payment of two times his annual base salary at the time of termination. If Mr. Baer terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the employment agreement) or for any reason, he is entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid base salary, any accrued but unpaid bonus from the prior year and any unpaid expenses. In the case of Mr. Baer's death or disability (as defined in the employment agreement), the employment agreement provides for the right for his estate or him, as applicable, to receive any accrued but unpaid base salary, any unpaid expenses, any accrued but unpaid bonus from the prior year and a severance payment of two times his annual base salary at the time of death or disability (as defined in the employment agreement). As a condition to Mr. Baer's receipt of any severance payments as a result of his termination, as well as any acceleration of vesting or extension of exercise periods described in the grant agreements for the equity grants, Mr. Baer must execute a severance agreement and release in favor of Liberty Media in accordance with the procedures set forth in the employment agreement.

        Although not a party to Mr. Baer's employment agreement, Liberty Interactive is obligated to reimburse Liberty Media for its allocable portion of any payments made to Mr. Baer thereunder (other than payments relating to equity awards which are directly settled with the applicable issuer) pursuant to the services agreement.

        The incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The compensation committee 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 incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to certain employees and independent contractors for exceptional service and to encourage their investment in our company. Our compensation committee may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the incentive plan (collectively, awards).

        The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the incentive plan is 25,000,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. With limited exceptions, under the incentive plan, no person may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 8,000,000 shares of our common stock (subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan) nor may any person receive under the incentive plan payment for cash awards during any calendar year in excess of $10 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the incentive plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company. The incentive plan has a 5 year term.

        In connection with the LMC Spin-Off, our company's board of directors adopted the Liberty Media Corporation Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (the TSAP, and together with the incentive

18


plan, the existing plans). The TSAP governs the terms and conditions of equity incentive awards with respect to our common stock issued in connection with adjustments made to equity incentive awards relating to Old LMC's common stock that were granted prior to the LMC Spin-Off. No further grants are permitted under the TSAP.

        In connection with the Old LMC Split-Off (pursuant to which employees of Liberty Interactive became employees of Old LMC), Old LMC assumed the Liberty Media Corporation 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the 2006 deferred compensation plan) and all obligations outstanding thereunder. In connection with the LMC Spin-Off (pursuant to which employees of Old LMC became employees of our company), we assumed the 2006 deferred compensation plan and all obligations outstanding thereunder. Under the 2006 deferred compensation plan, officers at the level of Vice President and above are eligible to elect to defer up to 50% of the portion of such officer's annual base salary and the portion of such officer's cash performance bonus, in each case, allocable to our company pursuant to the services agreement, with the exception of the application of the previously made deferral elections to the 2011 performance-based bonuses which were paid by Liberty Interactive. Mr. Shean had a deferral election in place for such bonus, and Liberty Interactive will remain responsible for the payment of such deferred amount and all interest thereon going forward. Elections must be made in advance of certain deadlines and may include (1) the selection of a payment date, which generally may not be later than 30 years from the end of the year in which the applicable compensation is initially deferred, and (2) the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or substantially equal annual installments over two to five years. Compensation deferred under the 2006 deferred compensation plan will earn interest at the rate of 9% per year, compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter.

        In addition to the accelerated distribution events described under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control" below, at the eligible officer's request, if the compensation committee determines that such officer has suffered a financial hardship, it may authorize immediate distribution of amounts deferred under the 2006 deferred compensation plan.

        Our board of directors reserves the right to terminate the 2006 deferred compensation plan at any time. An optional termination by our board of directors will not result in any distribution acceleration.

On December 4, 2012 (the Grant Date), to effect Old LMC's 2012 option modification program, Old LMC's compensation committee approved the acceleration of each unvested in-the-money option to acquire shares of LMCA held by certain of its and its subsidiaries' officers (collectively, the Eligible Optionholders), including Old LMCA's then- and our current-named executive officers Messrs. Maffei, Rosenthaler and Shean. Following this acceleration, also on the Grant Date, each Eligible Optionholder exercised, on a net settled basis, substantially all of his or her outstanding in-the-money vested and unvested options to acquire LMCA shares (the Eligible Options) and with respect to each unvested Eligible Option, each Eligible Optionholder acquired LMCA shares which have a vesting schedule identical to that of the unvested Eligible Option.

The Value column below represents the value related to awards that were subject to continued vesting requirements as of the Grant Date, but which vested during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. Such value was realized by the applicable named executive officer in 2012 and therefore included in our proxy statement relating to our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders under "Executive Compensation—Option Exercises and Stock Vested".

As described above in "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan," Mr. Shean had a deferral election in place under the 2006 deferred compensation plan following the Old LMC Split-Off with respect to $32,336, which represents 10% of a portion of his 2011 performance-based bonus that was allocable to and paid by Liberty Interactive. Liberty Interactive will continue to be responsible for the payment of the $32,336 of deferred principal amount and for the payment of interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, thereon.


Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

        The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment with Old LMC had terminated or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2013. 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 tables are based on the closing market price on December 31, 2013, the last trading day of such year, for our Series A common stock, which was $146.29. The value of the options and SARs shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise or base price of the

23


award and such closing market price. The value of the restricted stock shown in the table is based on such closing market price and the number of shares unvested.

        Each of our named executive officers has received awards and payments under the existing incentive plans, and each of our named executive officers is eligible to participate in our deferred compensation plan. Additionally, each of Messrs. Malone, Maffei and Baer is entitled to certain payments and certain acceleration rights upon termination under his respective employment agreement. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason" below.

        The circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout are described below and in the footnotes to the table (other than those described under "—Executive Compensation Arrangements," which are incorporated by reference herein):

        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 employment with our company for any reason, each named executive officer would only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his termination date, except that each of Mr. Maffei and Mr. Baer has certain acceleration rights with respect to his equity awards and is entitled to certain other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment with our company for good reason (as defined in their respective employment agreements). See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason" below. Neither Mr. Shean nor Mr. Rosenthaler is entitled to any severance payments or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment for any reason.

        Under the 2006 deferred compensation plan, we do not have an acceleration right to pay out account balances to the named executive officers upon this type of termination. However, the named executive officer may file at the time of the deferral an election to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his separation from service, including a voluntary termination. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that the named executive officer has elected to receive payout of all deferred compensation upon his separation from service, including interest.

        Termination for Cause.    All outstanding equity grants constituting options or stock appreciation rights, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, and all equity grants constituting unvested restricted shares under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer (other than Mr. Maffei in the case of equity grants constituting options or similar rights) who is terminated for "cause." The existing incentive plans, which govern the awards unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, define "cause" as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform his 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. Mr. Maffei has certain continuing rights to exercise vested options or similar rights following a termination for cause under his employment agreement, and the employment agreements of Mr. Maffei and Mr. Baer have definitions of cause that are different from the definition under the incentive plans. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

        No immediate distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of this type of termination (other than pursuant to the compensation committee's right to distribute certain de minimus amounts from an officer's deferred compensation account). However, the named executive officer may file an election at the time of the deferral to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his separation from service, including a termination for cause. For

24


purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that the named executive officer has elected to receive payout of all deferred compensation upon his separation from service, including interest.

        Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.    Mr. Malone does not have any unvested equity awards. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Maffei's options and restricted shares are subject to acceleration upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason. Each of Mr. Malone and Mr. Maffei is entitled to severance payments and/or other benefits upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone" and "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above.

        The award agreements relating to Mr. Baer's multi-year award provide that upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason (each as defined in his employment agreement), a pro rata portion of his unvested options and restricted shares as of the date of termination will vest based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date plus 365 days. This pro rata vesting is applied separately with respect to each tranche of his options and restricted shares based on the vesting period for that tranche. Mr. Baer is also entitled to severance payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Richard N. Baer"

        Mr. Shean's and Mr. Rosenthaler's multi-year awards, which are their only unvested awards, provide for vesting upon a termination of employment without cause of those options or restricted shares, as applicable, that would have vested during the 12-month period following the termination date if such person had remained an employee, plus a pro rata portion of the remaining unvested options or restricted shares, as applicable, based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date. Neither of these officers is entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a termination without cause.

        No immediate distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of this type of termination (other than pursuant to the compensation committee's right to distribute certain de minimus amounts from an officer's deferred compensation account). However, the named executive officer may file an election at the time of the deferral to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his separation from service, including a termination without cause or for good reason. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that the named executive officer has elected to receive payout of all deferred compensation upon separation from service, including interest.

        Death.    In the event of death of any of the named executive officers, the existing incentive plans and applicable award agreements provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards. Each of Mr. Malone, Mr. Maffei and Mr. Baer is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits if he dies while employed by our company. See "Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

        No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to life insurance policies, which we make available to all our employees.

        Under the 2006 deferred compensation plan, we do not have an acceleration right to payout account balances to the named executive officers upon this type of termination. However, the named executive officer may file an election at the time of the deferral to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his separation from service, including a termination due to death. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that the named executive officer has elected to receive payout of all deferred compensation upon separation from service, including interest.

25


        Disability.    If the employment of any of the named executive officers is terminated due to disability, which is defined in the incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards. Each of Mr. Malone, Mr. Maffei and Mr. Baer is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment due to disability. See "Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

        No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to short-term and long-term disability policies, which we make available to all our employees.

        Under the 2006 deferred compensation plan, we do not have an acceleration right to payout account balances to the named executive officers upon this type of termination. However, the named executive officer may file an election at the time of the deferral to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his separation from service, including a termination due to disability. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that the named executive officer has elected to receive payout of all deferred compensation upon separation from service, including interest.

        Change in Control.    In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards held by the named executive officers. A change in control is generally defined as:

        In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, our compensation committee may determine not to accelerate the existing equity awards of the named executive officers if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing awards, except that Mr. Maffei's awards may also be subject to acceleration upon a change in control, including of the type described in the last bullet point, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed no such determination was made.

        The 2006 deferred compensation plan provides our compensation committee with the option of terminating the plan 30 days preceding or within 12 months after a change of control and distributing the account balances (which option is assumed to have been exercised for purposes of the tabular presentation below).

Under Mr. Malone's employment agreement, which was assigned to us in the Old LMC Split-Off and later to our company in the LMC Spin-Off, if his employment had been terminated, as of December 31, 2013, at our election (other than for death or cause) (whether before or after a change in control) or upon Mr. Malone's prior written notice, he would have been entitled to a lump sum severance payment of $13,000 payable upon termination, which is equal to five years' of his current annual salary of $2,600. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone" above. Pursuant to the services agreement, 50% of such lump sum severance payment would have been allocable to Liberty Interactive.

(2)
As described above, Mr. Malone began receiving 240 consecutive monthly installment severance payments in February 2009 pursuant to the terms of his amended employment agreement. The number included in the table represents the aggregate amount of the payments remaining as of December 31, 2013. With respect to periods following the termination of his employment, the foregoing payments are conditioned on Mr. Malone's compliance with the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants contained in his employment agreement. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone" above.

(3)
As described above, Mr. Malone began receiving 240 consecutive monthly payments of his deferred compensation plus interest, in February 2009 pursuant to the terms of his amended employment agreement, which our company assumed in connection with the Old LMC Split-Off. The number included in the table represents the aggregate amount of these payments remaining as of December 31, 2013. With respect to periods following the termination of his employment, the foregoing payments are conditioned on Mr. Malone's compliance with the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants contained in his employment agreement. If Mr. Malone's employment had been terminated, as of December 31, 2013, as a result of his death, his beneficiaries would have instead been entitled to a lump sum payment of the unamortized principal balance of the remaining deferred compensation payments, and the compliance conditions described above would be inapplicable. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone" above.

(4)
If Mr. Maffei's employment had been terminated at Liberty Media's election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control), as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment of $7,800,000. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above. Pursuant to the services agreement, 50% of such lump sum severance payment would have been allocable to Liberty Interactive.

Under these circumstances (and subject to the assumptions described above in "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control"), such named executive officer would receive an immediate distribution of the balance of his deferred compensation account (rather than receiving distributions under the plan in accordance with the elections previously filed by such named executive officer).

Based on the number of vested options and SARs held by each named executive officer at year-end. For more information, see the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table above.

(7)
Based on (i) the number of vested options and SARs held by Mr. Maffei at year-end and (ii) the number of unvested options and shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Maffei at year-end that would vest pursuant to the forward-vesting provisions in his employment agreement if he were terminated without cause or for good reason at year-end. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above and the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table above.

(8)
Based on (i) the number of vested options and SARs and (ii) the number of unvested options and SARs and the number of shares of restricted stock, in each case, held by each named executive officer at year-end. For more information, see the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table above.

(9)
If Mr. Maffei's employment had been terminated at Liberty Media's election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) or by reason of disability, as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to receive personal use of the corporate aircraft for 120 hours per year over an 18-month period. Perquisite amount of $658,048 includes (i) the maximum potential cost of using the corporate aircraft for 180 hours based on an hourly average of the incremental cost of use of the corporate aircraft and (ii) an estimate for personal use of the corporate apartment over the same 18-month period. Pursuant to the services agreement, 50% of such perquisite expense would have been allocable to Liberty Interactive.

(10)
If Mr. Baer's employment had been terminated due to his death or disability or at Liberty Media's election without cause or by Mr. Baer for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times his base salary then in effect. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Richard N. Baer" above. Pursuant to the services agreement, 48% of such lump sum severance payment would have been allocable to Liberty Interactive.

(11)
Based on (i) the number of vested options and SARs held by such named executive officer at year-end and (ii) the number of unvested options and SARs and the number of shares of restricted stock held by such named executive officer at year-end that would vest pursuant to the forward-vesting provisions in such named executive officer's award agreements if he were terminated without cause or, in the case of Mr. Baer, if he voluntarily terminated for good reason, at year-end. See the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason" above.

(12)
Amounts include $32,336, which would be allocable to and payable by Liberty Interactive based on a one-time deferral election of a portion of his annual cash bonus that was allocable to and paid by Liberty Interactive pursuant to the services agreement. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan" and "—Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans" above for more information.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Nonemployee Directors

        Director Fees.    Each of our directors who is not an employee of our company is paid an annual fee of $175,000 (which, in 2013, was $169,000) (which we refer to as the director fee), of which $85,000 ($83,000 in 2013) is payable in cash and the balance is payable in restricted shares or options to purchase shares of LMCA. See "—Director Restricted Share Grants" below for information on the incentive awards granted in 2013 to the nonemployee directors. We do not offer our directors residing outside of Colorado a fee for attending meetings at our offices in Englewood, Colorado, however we did offer such a fee with respect to meetings in 2013 in the amount of $2,000 per meeting. The chairman of the audit committee of our board of directors and each other member of that committee is paid an additional annual fee of $30,000. With respect to our executive committee, each nonemployee member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for his participation on the committee. With respect to our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for his or her participation on each such committee, except that any committee member who is also the chairman of that committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $20,000 for his or her participation on that committee. The cash portion of the director fees, the meeting fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears.

        Charitable Contributions.    If a director makes a donation to our political action committee, we will make a matching donation to a charity of his or her choice in an amount not to exceed $10,000.

        Equity Incentive Plan.    The Liberty Media Corporation 2013 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan, as amended (the director plan) is administered by our entire board of directors. 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 director 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, SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing under the director plan.

        The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the director plan is 1,500,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the plan. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the director plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

        As described above, in connection with the LMC Spin-Off, our company's board of directors adopted the TSAP, which governs the terms and conditions of awards issued in the LMC Spin-Off in connection with adjustments made to awards previously granted by Old LMC with respect to its common stock.

        In 2013, each of our non-employee directors was given a choice of receiving his or her annual equity grant in the form of restricted shares or options.

        Director Restricted Share Grants.    Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the director plan, on December 16, 2013, each of Mr. Bennett, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Gilchrist, Dr. Evan Malone, Mr. Rapley, Mr. Romrell and Ms. Wong were granted 595 restricted shares of LMCA. These restricted shares will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and will be forfeited if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date.

29


        Director Deferred Compensation Plan.    Effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, directors of our company are eligible to participate in the Liberty Media Corporation Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the director deferred compensation plan), pursuant to which eligible directors of our company can elect to defer all or any portion of their annual cash fees that they would otherwise be entitled to receive. The deferral of such annual cash fees shall be effected by a reduction in the quarterly payment of such annual cash fees by the percentage specified in the director's election. Elections are required to be made in advance of certain deadlines, which generally must be on or before the close of business on December 31 of the year prior to the year to which the director's election will apply, and elections must include the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or substantially equal installments over a period not to exceed ten years. Compensation deferred under the director deferred compensation plan earned interest at the rate of 9% per year, compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter.

Liberty Interactive Corporation

        The following information concerning the compensation of the named executive officers and directors of Liberty Interactive Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2013 is substantially the same as that which appears in Liberty Interactive Corporation's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2014 relating to its 2014 annual meeting of stockholders (the "LIC proxy statement"). References such as "we," "us" and "our" refer to Liberty Interactive Corporation and not Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. Terms used below but not defined have the meanings assigned to them in the LIC proxy statement.

32



EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        This section sets forth information relating to, and an analysis and discussion of, compensation paid by our company to the following persons (who we collectively refer to as our named executive officers):

In the interest of maintaining consistent disclosure with the tables set forth in this section, we have not adjusted any of the LVNTA and LVNTB share numbers described throughout this section to reflect changes resulting from our April 2014 stock split.


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        The compensation committee of our board of directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and regularly monitoring adherence to our compensation philosophy. That philosophy seeks to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating and rewarding our executives in an effort to increase stockholder value. To that end, the compensation packages provided to the named executive officers include both cash and stock-based incentive compensation, with an emphasis placed on performance-based compensation.

        The compensation committee seeks to approve a compensation package for each named executive officer that is commensurate with the responsibilities and proven performance of that executive, and that is competitive relative to the compensation packages paid to similarly situated executives in other companies. The compensation committee does not engage in any regular benchmarking analysis; rather, it is familiar with the range of total compensation paid by other companies and uses this range as a guide to ensure that the named executive officers receive attractive compensation packages. The compensation committee believes that our compensation packages should assist our company in attracting and retaining key executives critical to our long-term success.

        In the case of all our named executive officers, the compensation committee believes that performance-based bonuses and equity incentive awards should represent a substantial portion of each named executive officer's compensation package. At our 2011 annual stockholders meeting, stockholders representing 96.6% of our aggregate voting power present and entitled to vote on our say-on-pay proposal approved, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation, as disclosed in our proxy statement for our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders. The compensation committee has not implemented any material changes to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote.

        In September 2011, we completed the split-off (the LMC Split-Off) of our former subsidiary then-known as Liberty Media Corporation (currently known as Starz, Old LMC). In January 2013, Old LMC completed the spin-off (the LMC Spin-Off) of its former subsidiary then-known as Liberty Spinco, Inc. (currently known as Liberty Media Corporation, Liberty Media). In connection with the LMC Split-Off, we entered into a services agreement with Old LMC, which was assumed by Liberty Media in the LMC Spin-Off. Pursuant to the services agreement, in 2013, we compensated Liberty Media for the portion of the base salary and certain other compensation Liberty Media paid to our employees, including the named executive officers (other than Mr. George), that was allocable to our

33


company for time spent by each such employee on matters related to our company. All of Mr. George's compensation was paid by our company and none of his time was allocated to Liberty Media because Mr. George did not provide any services to Liberty Media in 2013. In addition, the 2013 performance-based bonuses earned by our other named executive officers were paid directly by our company, and no portion thereof was allocable to Liberty Media.

        During 2013, the allocable percentages of time spent performing services for Liberty Media, on the one hand, and our company, on the other hand, were reviewed quarterly by the Audit Committee of our board for reasonableness. The salaries and certain perquisite information included in the "Summary Compensation Table" below (other than with respect to Mr. George, whose cash compensation is paid directly by QVC) include the portion of the compensation paid by Liberty Media to the named executive officers that was allocable to our company and for which we have reimbursed Liberty Media and do not include the portion of any compensation allocable to Liberty Media under the services agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the weighted average percentage of each such named executive officer's time that was allocated to our company was: Mr. Maffei—50%; Mr. Baer—48%; Mr. Rosenthaler—44%; and Mr. Shean—50%.

        Recommendations with respect to our executive compensation are obtained from our Chief Executive Officer as to all elements of each other named executive officer's compensation package. In taking these actions, our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance and contributions of each of the other named executive officers, given their respective areas of responsibility, and, in doing so, considers various qualitative factors such as:

        In making its compensation decision for each named executive officer, our compensation committee considers the following:

34


        Our compensation committee also considers the total compensation paid by companies that operate in the same industries as our company and our subsidiaries and uses this industry knowledge as a guide to determine whether our named executive officers receive attractive compensation packages. Companies in our and our subsidiaries' industries consist of publicly-traded video and online commerce companies and other consumer goods retailers, as well as media, telecommunications and entertainment companies, and include companies with which we may compete for executive talent and stockholder investment and also include companies in those industries that are similar to our company in size, geographic location or complexity of operations. Our compensation committee did not re-assess the compensation data in 2013 that it had compiled in prior years with respect to these industries. Rather, it relied on prior year assessments in determining not to make any substantive changes to our company's executive compensation structure.

        For 2013, the named executive officers' compensation packages were comprised primarily of a base salary and a performance-based bonus, which was consistent with the employment agreements to which three of the named executive officers (Messrs. Maffei, Baer and George) were a party. No new equity awards were granted to any of the named executive officers in 2013, as they all received grants of equity incentive awards in prior years that were intended to cover a multi-year period.

        With respect to all named executive officers, the compensation committee believes in weighing equity incentive compensation more heavily than cash compensation, which is a practice that may not be consistently followed by other companies that operate in the same industry as our company.

        For 2013, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

        Our compensation committee reviews the base salaries of the named executive officers on an annual basis (other than Messrs. Maffei and George, who are compensated pursuant to their respective employment agreements), as well as at the time of any change in responsibilities. Historically, after establishing a named executive officer's base salary, our compensation committee has limited salary increases to cost-of-living adjustments and adjustments based on an evaluation of a named executive officer's job performance, any changes in the scope of the named executive officer's responsibilities, and the named executive officer's salary level compared to other named executive officers. Our compensation committee believes base salary should be a relatively smaller portion of each named executive officer's overall compensation package, thereby aligning the interests of our executives more closely with those of our stockholders. Our compensation committee considered these factors when setting or approving, as applicable, the base salary and annual increases to be paid to Messrs. Maffei and George under their respective employment agreements. After completion of the annual review described above, the named executive officers (other than Messrs. Maffei, Baer and George) received cost of living adjustments to their base salaries for 2013. Mr. Maffei and Mr. George received the increase prescribed by their respective employment agreements, and Mr. Baer's base salary for 2013, the first year of employment under his employment agreement, was established pursuant to his employment agreement.

35


        Liberty Awards—Overview.    For 2013, our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for each of the named executive officers (other than Mr. George who participated in a separate performance-based bonus program, described under "—QVC Award" below), which was structured to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The 2013 bonus program was comprised of two components: a bonus amount payable based on each participant's individual performance (the Individual Performance Bonus) and a bonus amount payable based on the corporate performance of our company (the Corporate Performance Bonus). No amounts would be payable under our 2013 bonus program unless a minimum corporate performance was achieved: the combined Adjusted OIBDA of our subsidiaries, QVC and the eCommerce companies (which are comprised of Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC, Commerce Technologies, Inc., LMC Right Start, Inc. and Provide Commerce, Inc.), for the year ended December 31, 2013, was required to exceed $1 billion (the Threshold). If the Threshold was met, the notional bonus pool for our company would be funded with 1.75% of the amount by which such combined Adjusted OIBDA of QVC and the eCommerce companies exceeded $1 billion (the bonus pool). For purposes of the bonus program, Adjusted OIBDA is defined as revenue less cost of sales, operating expense and SG&A (excluding stock compensation). If the bonus pool was insufficient to cover the aggregate maximum bonus amounts of all participants (as described in more detail below), each participant's maximum bonus amount would be reduced pro rata, for all purposes under the program, based upon his respective maximum bonus amount.

        Each participant was assigned a maximum bonus amount, expressed as a multiple of his base salary (without giving effect to the allocation of such salary between our company and Liberty Media). The maximum bonus amounts were 400%, 200%, 150% and 150% for Messrs. Maffei, Baer, Rosenthaler and Shean, respectively (each participant's Ultimate Maximum Bonus), consistent with the percentages applied to our named executive officers with respect to our previous performance-based bonus programs. Although Liberty Media adopted a corollary performance-based bonus program for 2013 with the same maximum bonus amounts achievable by the overlapping named executive officers, our compensation committee and Liberty Media's compensation committee agreed that it was the intention of both committees that each overlapping named executive officer would not receive, in the aggregate from the two companies, more than his applicable Ultimate Maximum Bonus.

        Assuming the Threshold was met (and after taking into account any reductions associated with a shortfall in the bonus pool), each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LIC Maximum Individual Bonus) equal to the LIC Allocable Time Percentage (as defined below) multiplied by 60% of his Ultimate Maximum Bonus (the Ultimate Maximum Individual Bonus), subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the participant's achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of our company. The LIC Allocable Time Percentage for each participant is equal to the percentage of such participant's time that was spent performing services for our company under the services agreement, as determined by our compensation committee for purposes of the payment of bonuses: 50% as to Mr. Maffei; 40% as to Mr. Baer; 42% as to Mr. Rosenthaler; and 50% as to Mr. Shean. Under Liberty Media's corollary program, each participant was entitled to receive from Liberty Media an amount (the Liberty Media Maximum Individual Bonus) equal to the remaining portion of the Ultimate Maximum Individual Bonus, subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the participant's achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of Liberty Media. Our compensation committee believes this construct was appropriate in light of the services agreement and the fact that each participant splits his professional time and duties.

        Also, assuming the Threshold was met (and after taking into account any reductions associated with a shortfall in the bonus pool), each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LIC Maximum Corporate Bonus) equal to the LIC Corporate Percentage (as defined

36


below) multiplied by 40% of his Ultimate Maximum Bonus (the Ultimate Maximum Corporate Bonus), subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the corporate performance of our company. The LIC Corporate Percentage was determined by reference to the historical relative market capitalizations of our company and Liberty Media. Under Liberty Media's corollary program, each participant was entitled to receive from Liberty Media an amount (the Liberty Media Maximum Corporate Bonus) equal to the remaining portion of the Ultimate Maximum Corporate Bonus, subject to reduction based on a subjective determination of the corporate performance of Liberty Media.

        In December 2013, our compensation committee and the Liberty Media compensation committee collaborated in their review of our respective named executive officers' individual performance criteria and their review of each company's corporate performance metrics and ensured that the Ultimate Maximum Bonus payable to each overlapping named executive officer was not exceeded. Notwithstanding this collaborative effort, our compensation committee retained sole and exclusive discretion with respect to the approval of award terms and amounts payable under our bonus program.

        Also, in December 2013, our compensation committee determined that the combined Adjusted OIBDA for QVC and the eCommerce companies was approximately $1.94 billion using the formula described above, exceeding the Threshold by approximately $939 million, thereby creating a notional bonus pool of approximately $16.43 million, which exceeded the amount necessary to cover the aggregate maximum bonus amounts of all the participants and enabling each participant to receive a bonus of up to his maximum bonus amount.

        Individual Performance Bonus.    Our compensation committee then reviewed the individual performance of each participant to determine the reductions that would apply to each participant's LIC Maximum Individual Bonus. The compensation committee took into account a variety of factors, without assigning a numerical weight to any single performance measure. This determination was based on reports of our board, the observations of committee members throughout the year, executive self-evaluations and, with respect to the participants other than Mr. Maffei, the observations and input of Mr. Maffei. In evaluating the performance of each of the participants for determining the reduction that would apply to the LIC Maximum Individual Bonus, our compensation committee considered the

37


various performance objectives related to our company which had been assigned to each participant for 2013, including:

Individual

        Following a review of the participants' performance, our compensation committee determined to pay each participant the following portion of his LIC Maximum Individual Bonus:

Gregory B. Maffei

  $ 2,083,726     62.5 % $ 1,302,329

  $ 268,489     87.5 % $ 234,928  

Christopher W. Shean

  $ 356,895     50 % $ 178,448  

        Corporate Performance Bonus.    Our compensation committee then made a subjective determination as to the reductions that would apply to each participant's LIC Maximum Corporate Bonus. In making this determination, our compensation committee reviewed forecasts of 2013 Adjusted OIBDA, revenue and free cash flow (as defined below) for QVC and the eCommerce companies (with respect to our company), excluding corporate overhead, all of which forecasts were prepared in December 2013 and are set forth in the table below. Also set forth in the table below are the corresponding actual financial measures achieved for 2013, which varied by less than 1% from the forecasts, other than Free Cash Flow, which was below the forecasted amount. In determining whether any reductions would be made to the LIC Maximum Corporate Bonus payable to each participant, our compensation committee weighted the corporate performance metrics as follows: 25% attributable to revenue growth, 50% attributable to Adjusted OIBDA growth and 25% attributable to growth in free cash flow.

Adjusted OIBDA

  0% of a possible 50%

Gregory B. Maffei

  $ 255,704     20 % $ 51,141  

Christopher W. Shean

  $ 285,516     20 % $ 57,103

        QVC Award.    Mr. George's 2013 performance-based bonus was structured to align with the 2013 performance-based bonus program established at QVC for QVC senior global officers and to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code. Pursuant to the program, Mr. George would be paid a bonus based upon 2013 QVC Global EBITDA growth, year over year, with a target bonus amount of 100% of his base salary as required by the terms of his employment agreement and a maximum bonus amount of 260% of his base salary. For this purpose, QVC Global EBITDA was defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of QVC (consolidated, on a constant currency basis), subject to adjustments to ensure year over year comparability.

        For any bonus to be paid, 2013 QVC Global EBITDA growth, year over year, would need to exceed 4%. If 2013 QVC Global EBITDA growth exceeded 4% then Mr. George would be eligible to receive a maximum bonus of 260% of his base salary, subject to reduction in the discretion of our compensation committee based on QVC Global EBITDA performance and individual performance, among other things. The year over year QVC Global EBITDA growth for 2013 was 3.1%, which fell below the 4% minimum. As a result, Mr. George was not eligible for a bonus payment for 2013.

        For more information regarding these bonus awards, please see the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table below.

        Consistent with our compensation philosophy, the compensation committee seeks to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders by awarding stock-based incentive compensation. This ensures that our executives have a continuing stake in our long-term success. The compensation committee weighs stock-based compensation more heavily than cash compensation in determining each named executive officer's overall compensation mix.

        The Liberty Interactive Corporation 2010 Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011), as amended (the 2010 Incentive Plan) and the Liberty Interactive Corporation 2012 Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2012 Incentive Plan), provide for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance awards. Our executives have historically been granted stock options and awards

40


of restricted stock in preference to other awards because of our company's belief that options and restricted shares better promote retention of key employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. It is the policy of our compensation committee that stock options be awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, measured by reference to the closing sale price on the grant date.

        Over the past few years, our compensation committee has determined to make larger grants (equaling approximately four to five years' value of the annual grants made in years prior to 2009) that vest between four and five and three-quarters years after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These multi-year grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and generally expire 10 years after grant to encourage executives to remain with the company over the long-term and to better align their interests with those of the stockholders. In that regard, multi-year awards were granted to our named executive officers by our compensation committee prior to 2013, and, accordingly, no new equity incentive awards were granted to the named executive officers during the 2013 calendar year.

        The perquisites and other personal benefits available to our executives (that are not otherwise available to all of our salaried employees, such as matching contributions to the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan and the payment of life insurance premiums) consist of:

        Aircraft Usage.    On occasion, and with the approval of our Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, executives may have family members and other guests accompany them on Liberty Media's corporate aircraft when traveling on business. Under the terms of the employment arrangements with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, those individuals and their guests may use the corporate aircraft we share with Liberty Media for non-business purposes subject to specified limitations.

        Pursuant to a February 2013 letter agreement between Mr. Maffei and Liberty Media, Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. The February 2013 letter agreement replaced in its entirety, on substantially the same terms, a letter agreement originally entered into by Mr. Maffei and Liberty Interactive that was assumed by Old LMC in the LMC Split-Off and later by Liberty Media in the LMC Spin-Off). Under Mr. Maffei's employment agreement, if Mr. Maffei's employment terminates due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei will be entitled to continued use of the corporate aircraft for 18 months after termination of his employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income, calculated in accordance with the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rates, for all personal use of the corporate aircraft. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against the 120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of budgeted hours

41


under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as compared to the cost of using company owned aircraft.

        For disclosure purposes, we determine the aggregate incremental cost to our company of an executive's personal use of corporate aircraft using a method that takes into account:

Because the company'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, purchase or lease costs of aircraft and costs of maintenance and upkeep.

        Pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements with Liberty Media, we pay Liberty Media for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using its corporate aircraft that are allocable to our company.

        For purposes of determining an executive's taxable income, personal use of corporate aircraft is valued using a method based on 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 we may deduct 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 Code to the extent that the named executive officer's compensation that is subject to that limitation exceeds $1 million. See "—Deductibility of Executive Compensation" below.

        Gross-Up.    In 2013, Mr. George received a tax gross-up from QVC relating to certain out of state income taxes to which he was subject in connection with the performance of his duties outside of QVC's headquarters.

        In developing the compensation packages for the named executive officers, the compensation committee considered the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. That provision prohibits the deduction of compensation of more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. One exception is for performance-based compensation, including stock options granted under the existing incentive plans. The compensation committee has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code, in order to maintain flexibility in making compensation decisions. Portions of the compensation we pay to certain of the named executive officers may not be deductible due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code.

        In those instances where we grant cash or equity-based incentive compensation, we include in the related agreement with the executive a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to the company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or stock appreciation rights). That right will

42


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. 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. 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.

The Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan, which was sponsored and administered by our company prior to the LMC Split-Off and was transferred to and assumed by Old LMC in the LMC Split-Off and later by Liberty Media in the LMC Spin-Off, provides employees with an opportunity to save for retirement. The Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan participants may contribute up to 75% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis to the plan and an additional 10% of their eligible compensation on an after-tax basis (subject to specified maximums and IRS limits), and we contributed a matching contribution based on the participants' contributions as set forth in the plan.

Executive Compensation Arrangements

        Employment Agreement.    On December 17, 2009, the compensation committee approved in principle a new compensation arrangement in favor of Mr. Maffei providing, among other things, for a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2014, with an annual base salary of $1.5 million, increasing annually by 5% of the prior year's base salary, and an annual target cash bonus equal to 200% of the applicable year's annual base salary. On May 17, 2010, we entered into a definitive employment agreement with Mr. Maffei, memorializing the compensation arrangement that was approved in principle by the compensation committee on December 17, 2009. The employment agreement also included terms related to Liberty Interactive Corporation equity awards held by Mr. Maffei, including the multi-year award of options that was granted to him on December 17, 2009 (as described in more detail below).

45


        Prior to the assumption of Mr. Maffei's employment agreement by Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Spin-Off, Old LMC assumed Mr. Maffei's 2009 employment agreement in connection with the LMC Split-Off and in February 2012 the agreement was amended and restated effective as of September 23, 2011 to reflect the change in employer and to specify the equity awards covered by the amended and restated employment agreement following the LMC Split-Off, which included a grant of options to Mr. Maffei on December 17, 2009 in connection with the approval in principle of his compensation arrangement. After giving effect to the adjustments made to equity awards in connection with the LMC Split-Off, the elimination of Old LMC's tracking stock structure, the creation of our Liberty Ventures tracking stock, the LMC Spin-Off and the December 2012 option modification program, as of March 31, 2014, the multi-year award granted to Mr. Maffei on December 17, 2009 has been converted into, exchanged for or adjusted to the following equity awards: options to acquire 5,933,101 shares of LINTA at an exercise price of $19.255, options to acquire 278,831 shares of LVNTA at an exercise price of $58.80, options to acquire 1,179,830 shares of Liberty Media's Series A common stock at an exercise price of $94.92, options to acquire 1,184,017 shares of Starz's Series A common stock at an exercise price of $13.32, 813,647 restricted shares of Liberty Media's Series A common stock, 813,647 restricted shares of Starz's Series A common stock, 2,591,584 restricted LINTA shares and 147,387 restricted LVNTA shares (such LINTA and LVNTA awards, the Multi-Year Awards). One-half of these options and restricted shares vested on December 17, 2013 with the remaining options and restricted shares vesting on December 17, 2014, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei's continued employment on the applicable vesting date. The options have a term of 10 years. See "—Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards" below for more information regarding these options and restricted shares that are now Liberty Interactive Corporation equity awards.

        Mr. Maffei's amended and restated agreement, which was assumed by Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Spin-Off, provides that: (i) in the event Mr. Maffei is terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement) he will be entitled only to his accrued base salary, unpaid expenses and any amounts due under applicable law; (ii) if Mr. Maffei terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled only to his accrued base salary, accrued but unpaid bonus for the prior year, unpaid expenses and any amounts due under applicable law (Standard Payments); (iii) if Mr. Maffei is terminated by Liberty Media without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason, the agreement provides for him to receive the Standard Payments and a severance payment of $7.8 million; and (iv) in the case of Mr. Maffei's death or his disability, the agreement provides for the right to receive the Standard Payments and a severance payment of $7.8 million. In addition, if Mr. Maffei is terminated without cause or due to disability, or terminates his employment for good reason, Mr. Maffei will be entitled to continuation of certain perquisites for 18 months, including use of Liberty Media's corporate aircraft.

        Although we are not a party to Mr. Maffei's amended and restated employment agreement, we are obligated to reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of any payments made to Mr. Maffei thereunder (other than payments relating to equity awards which are directly settled with the applicable issuer).

        Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards.    Following the LMC Split-Off, Mr. Maffei continued to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of our company and we entered into an Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards with Mr. Maffei, effective as of September 23, 2011, pursuant to which we agreed that for so long as Mr. Maffei is employed by us he will be employed as the company's President and Chief Executive Officer and will be nominated and recommended for election to our board of directors at each annual meeting of stockholders occurring prior to December 31, 2014. The agreement includes provisions, similar to those in Mr. Maffei's December 2009 employment agreement, regarding his employment as our company's President and Chief Executive Officer while he is employed by our company and regarding his position on our board of directors, including his membership on the executive committee of the board. The agreement does not include an obligation to

46


pay Mr. Maffei a salary or bonus or to provide him with benefits (other than reimbursement of expenses) or to pay him severance upon termination of his employment with us, but our company bears a portion of the cost to Liberty Media of Mr. Maffei's salary, bonus, severance and other benefits pursuant to agreements entered into between our company and Old LMC (and later assumed by Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Spin-Off) in connection with the LMC Split-Off (as described above).

        The Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards provides that, in the event Mr. Maffei is terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement), or if he terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), he will forfeit all rights to his unvested restricted shares and unvested options. However, in both cases, his vested, unexercised options and similar rights as of his termination date will remain exercisable either (1) for 90 days after his termination or until the original expiration date of the applicable award, if sooner, or (2) if any such termination of his employment occurs following December 31, 2014 or following a change in control of our company (as defined in the agreement), until the original expiration date of the applicable award. If Mr. Maffei is terminated by our company without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason, the agreement provides for his unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights (including his Multi-Year Award) to vest pro rata based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date plus 18 months and for all vested and accelerated options and similar rights to remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates; provided, that if Mr. Maffei continues to be employed by Liberty Media following such a termination from our company without cause or for good reason, he may elect to have certain of his unvested equity awards continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the agreement based on his continued service with Liberty Media. If a termination without cause or for good reason occurs within 90 days before or 210 days after members of the Malone Group (as defined in the agreement) cease to meet certain ownership requirements with respect to our company as described in the agreement, then Mr. Maffei's unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights granted by our company will instead vest in full and will remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates. In the case of Mr. Maffei's death or his disability, the agreement provides for his unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights to fully vest and for his vested and accelerated options and similar rights to remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates. Further, in the event of certain change in control transactions, including spin-off or split-off transactions which exceed a specified threshold of our company's consolidated assets, Mr. Maffei's unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights would vest in full unless Mr. Maffei is named the Chief Executive Officer of the spin-off or split-off entity and his equity awards are adjusted in the transaction in such a manner as to preserve the intrinsic value thereof.

        The Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards further provides that it is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and provides for certain reimbursements to Mr. Maffei in the event the agreement does not so comply. The agreement also contains customary provisions pertaining to confidentiality and limitations on outside activities.

        Aircraft Usage.    Pursuant to a February 2013 letter agreement between Mr. Maffei and Liberty Media, Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued right to use the corporate aircraft as described above or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. Mr. Maffei will continue to incur taxable income, calculated in accordance with SIFL, for all personal use of Liberty Media's corporate aircraft. Pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements with Liberty Media, we pay Liberty Media for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using its corporate aircraft that are allocable to our company. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft would not be charged against the 120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of

47


a NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of budgeted hours under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as compared to the cost of using company owned aircraft.

        On May 3, 2011, QVC entered into an employment agreement with Mr. George, which was amended effective December 4, 2012, to reflect the changes to his equity awards that occurred in the December 2012 option modification program (as described below) and to clarify and update certain other information in his employment agreement. The agreement provides for, among other things, a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 15, 2015, with an annual base salary of $1 million, increasing annually by 3% of the prior year's base salary, and an annual target cash bonus equal to 100% of the applicable year's annual base salary which will be determined by the chief executive officer of our company pursuant to criteria established in QVC's annual bonus program (which program is approved each year by our company's chief executive officer) or, in the event Mr. George is considered a "covered employee" for any given year for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, his bonus will be determined by our company's compensation committee based on such criteria as approved in advance by such committee and that are designed in a manner such that the bonus will be treated as "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m). Also pursuant to the agreement, Mr. George is entitled to certain welfare, retirement and fringe benefits available to senior-level executives of QVC.

        On March 2, 2011, Mr. George was granted 3.8 million options to acquire shares of LINTA (the 2011 Granted Awards) at an exercise price of $16.01 per share, which was the closing price of LINTA on such date. As a result of adjustments made to equity awards in connection with the LMC Split-Off, the creation of our Liberty Ventures tracking stock and the December 2012 option modification program, as of March 31, 2014, Mr. George's 2011 Granted Awards now consist of options to acquire 3,166,911 shares of LINTA at an exercise price of $19.255 per share and 146,180 shares of LVNTA at an exercise price of $58.80 per share, 540,383 restricted LINTA shares and 39,194 restricted LVNTA shares. One-half of the 2011 Granted Awards will vest on December 15, 2014 with the remaining options and restricted shares vesting on December 15, 2015. The options have a term of 7 years. It is anticipated that Mr. George will not receive any additional equity award grants during the term of his employment agreement other than those associated with his participation in the 2012 option modification program.

        The agreement provides that, in the event Mr. George is terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to his accrued base salary through the date of termination, unpaid expenses, his vested benefits and any amounts due under applicable law. In addition, all equity awards granted to Mr. George prior to January 1, 2011 that are outstanding and unvested at the time of his termination for cause, including related equity awards granted to Mr. George after such date pursuant to the December 2012 option modification program and certain other events, as defined more specifically in the agreement (the Pre-2011 Unvested Awards), and all 2011 Granted Awards then held by Mr. George that have not become exercisable as of the date of such termination will be forfeited, and all equity awards granted to Mr. George prior to January 1, 2011 that are outstanding and vested but unexercised at the time of such termination, including related equity awards granted to Mr. George after such date pursuant to the December 2012 option modification program and certain other events, as defined more specifically in the agreement (the Pre-2011 Vested Awards), and all 2011 Granted Awards that are outstanding and vested but unexercised as of the date of such termination will remain exercisable for a period of up to 90 days after the date of such termination or until the original expiration date of the options if sooner. If Mr. George terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to his accrued base salary though the date of

48


termination, any declared but unpaid bonus for the calendar year prior to the year of termination, unpaid expenses, his vested benefits and any amounts due under applicable law. He will forfeit all rights to any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards and to any 2011 Granted Awards then held that have not become exercisable as of the date of his termination, any Pre-2011 Vested Awards that are options or similar rights will be treated as specified in the applicable agreement governing such equity award, and any 2011 Granted Awards that are outstanding and vested but unexercised as of the date of termination will be exercisable for a period of 90 days after the date of termination or until the original expiration date of the options if sooner. If, however, Mr. George terminates his employment for good reason or if his employment is terminated by QVC without cause, then he is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of one year and a lump sum payment of $1.5 million, in addition to accrued base salary through the date of termination, unpaid expenses, his vested benefits and any other amounts due under applicable law. In addition, any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards held on the date of termination that would have vested during the 365-day period following the date of such termination had Mr. George continued to be employed by QVC during such period will vest as of the date of termination. Further, a pro rata portion of each tranche of each 2011 Granted Award that is not vested on the date of termination will vest as of such date, with such pro rata portion based on the portion of time Mr. George was employed by QVC and its affiliates during the vesting period of such tranche plus 365 days. The exercisability of any Pre-2011 Vested Awards, any vested 2011 Granted Awards and any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards that vest pursuant to the foregoing sentence will be extended to the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of the option or (ii) two years from the date of the termination or, if Mr. George were to die prior to the expiration of such two year period, the close of business on the first business day following the later of the expiration of (x) the two year period or (y) the one-year period beginning on the date of Mr. George's death, but in no event will such awards be exercisable following their respective stated terms. In limited circumstances involving a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason within six months following a change in control of QVC (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. George's equity awards would vest in full and his vested options would thereafter remain exercisable until the original expiration date of such options. In the case of Mr. George's death or disability (as defined in the agreement), the agreement provides for the right to receive his base salary for a period of one year, his accrued base salary through the date of termination, unpaid expenses, any declared but unpaid bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which the termination occurs, his vested benefits and any amounts due under applicable law. In addition, the Pre-2011 Vested Awards, the Pre-2011 Unvested Awards and the 2011 Granted Awards will immediately vest and become exercisable (to the extent not already vested) and will be exercisable throughout the remainder of the full original term of such equity award.

        As a condition to Mr. George's receipt of any severance payments as a result of his termination, as well as any acceleration of vesting or extension of exercise periods for his equity grants, Mr. George must execute a severance agreement and release in favor of QVC in accordance with the procedures set forth in the employment agreement. Mr. George's receipt of severance benefits is also conditioned on his compliance with the post-termination non-compete restrictions in his employment agreement.

        Employment Agreement.    On November 7, 2012, Old LMC entered into an executive employment agreement (the employment agreement), effective October 31, 2012, with Richard Baer. Mr. Baer served as an independent contractor providing consulting services to Old LMC and Liberty Interactive from October 31, 2012 until the start of his employment as Senior Vice President and General Counsel with the companies on January 1, 2013. The employment agreement was assigned to Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Spin-Off. The agreement provides for, among other things, a four year term ending on December 31, 2016, with an annual base salary of $825,000, subject to adjustments at Liberty Media's discretion, and an annual discretionary bonus beginning in the calendar year 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Baer's target bonus for each year is 100% of his annual base salary for

49


that year, and in no event will his bonus for any year be greater than two times his annual base salary. Mr. Baer is also entitled to certain benefits and perquisites available to Liberty Media's senior executives. Pursuant to the agreement, on November 8, 2012, as part of the consideration for his services under the employment agreement, Mr. Baer was granted a combination of options and restricted shares. One-half of these options vest on December 31, 2015, with the remaining options vesting on December 31, 2016, and one-half of these restricted shares vest on each of December 15, 2015 and December 15, 2016, in each case, subject to Mr. Baer being employed by our company on the applicable vesting date and to the early vesting events described below. The options have a term of 10 years. The other terms and conditions of Mr. Baer's options and restricted shares, including acceleration and continued exercisability in connection with certain terminations of employment, are described in the applicable award agreements.

        The agreement provides that, in the event Mr. Baer is terminated for cause (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to his accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination and any unpaid expenses. If, however, Mr. Baer terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement) or if his employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), then he is entitled to receive his accrued but unpaid base salary, any unpaid expenses, any accrued but unpaid bonus from the prior year and a severance payment of two times his annual base salary at the time of termination. If Mr. Baer terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the employment agreement), he is entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid base salary, any accrued but unpaid bonus from the prior year and any unpaid expenses. In the case of Mr. Baer's death or disability (as defined in the employment agreement), the employment agreement provides for the right for his estate or him, as applicable, to receive any accrued but unpaid base salary, any unpaid expenses, any accrued but unpaid bonus from the prior year and a severance payment of two times his annual base salary at the time of death or disability (as defined in the employment agreement). As a condition to Mr. Baer's receipt of any severance payments as a result of his termination, as well as any acceleration of vesting or extension of exercise periods described in the grant agreements for the equity grants, Mr. Baer must execute a severance agreement and release in favor of Liberty Media in accordance with the procedures set forth in the employment agreement.

        Although we are not a party to Mr. Baer's employment agreement, we are obligated to reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of any payments made to Mr. Baer thereunder (other than payments relating to equity awards which are directly settled with the applicable issuer) pursuant to the services agreement.

        The 2010 Incentive Plan and 2012 Incentive Plan are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The compensation committee 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 existing incentive plans are designed to provide additional remuneration to certain employees and independent contractors for exceptional service and to encourage their investment in our company. Our compensation committee may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the existing incentive plans (collectively, awards).

50


        As of March 31, 2014, (i) the maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2010 Incentive Plan is 42,950,000 and under the 2012 Incentive Plan is 40,000,000, subject, in each case, to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the respective plans, and (ii) with limited exceptions, no person may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 6,874,244 shares of our common stock under the 2010 Incentive Plan and 8,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2012 Incentive Plan (subject, in each case, to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the plans) nor may any person receive under each of the existing incentive plans payment for cash awards during any calendar year in excess of $10 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the existing incentive plans are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company. Each of the 2010 Incentive Plan and the 2012 Incentive Plan has a 5 year term.

        Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2007 and until the time of the LMC Split-Off, officers of our company at the level of Senior Vice President and above were eligible to participate in the Liberty Media Corporation 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended, the 2006 deferred compensation plan). In connection with the LMC Split-Off (pursuant to which employees of our company became employees of Old LMC), Old LMC assumed this plan and all obligations outstanding thereunder. In connection with the LMC Spin-Off, Liberty Media assumed this plan and all obligations outstanding thereunder. Prior to the assumption of this plan by Old LMC, each eligible officer of our company, including our Chief Executive Officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, could elect to defer up to 50% of his annual base salary and the cash portion of his performance bonus under the 2006 deferred compensation plan. Elections were required to be made in advance of certain deadlines and could include (1) the selection of a payment date, which generally could not be later than 30 years from the end of the year in which the applicable compensation is initially deferred, and (2) the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or substantially equal annual installments over two to five years. Compensation deferred under the 2006 deferred compensation plan earned interest at the rate of 9% per year, compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter.

        Following the LMC Split-Off, our officers are no longer permitted to elect the deferral of a portion of their base salary and performance bonus allocable to our company. Mr. Shean took advantage of a one-time deferral opportunity in 2011 with respect to a portion of his 2011 performance-bonus that was allocable to and paid by our company, and we will be responsible for the payment of such deferred amount and all interest thereon going forward.

Our 2013 performance-based bonus program does not provide for a threshold bonus amount. The program also does not provide for a target payout amount for any named executive officer that would be payable upon satisfaction of the performance criteria under the 2013 performance-based bonus program. For the actual bonuses paid by our company and QVC, as applicable, see the amounts included for 2013 in the column entitled Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation in the "Summary Compensation Table" above.

With respect to Messrs. Maffei, Baer, Rosenthaler and Shean, represents the maximum amount that would have been payable to each named executive officer assuming (x) the Threshold was met in order to permit the maximum bonus amounts to have been payable, (y) the full 60% of the participant's maximum bonus amount attributable to individual performance was attained and (z) the full 40% of the participant's maximum bonus amount attributable to corporate performance of our company was attained, and does not give effect to the allocation of any portion of such maximum bonus amount to Liberty Media under the services agreement. For more information on this performance bonus program, see "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2013 Executive Compensation—2013 Performance-based Bonuses—Liberty Awards—Overview." With respect to Mr. George, represents the maximum amount that would have been payable to Mr. George assuming (x) the highest QVC EBITDA growth target of 9.2% was achieved and (y) Mr. George's individual performance warranted the maximum additional increase of his bonus determined based on QVC EBITDA growth.

On December 4, 2012 (the Grant Date), to effect our 2012 option modification program, our compensation committee approved the acceleration of each unvested in-the-money option to acquire shares of LINTA and LVNTA held by certain of its and its subsidiaries' officers (collectively, the Eligible Optionholders), including our then- and our current-named executive officers Messrs. Maffei, George, Rosenthaler and Shean. Following this acceleration, also on the Grant Date, each Eligible Optionholder exercised, on a net settled basis, substantially all of his or her outstanding in-the-money vested and unvested options to acquire LINTA or LVNTA shares (the Eligible Options) and with respect to each unvested Eligible Option, each Eligible Optionholder acquired LINTA or LVNTA shares which have a vesting schedule identical to that of the unvested Eligible Option.

The Value column below represents the value related to awards that were subject to continued vesting requirements as of the Grant Date, but which vested during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. Such value was realized by the applicable named executive officer in 2012 and therefore included in our proxy statement relating to our

As described above in "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan," Mr. Shean was permitted a one-time deferral election under the 2006 deferred compensation plan following the LMC Split-Off with respect to $32,336, which represented 10% of a portion of his 2011 performance-based bonus that was allocable to and paid by our company. Although such amount was transferred to Old LMC upon its assumption of the plan and obligations thereunder in connection with the LMC Split-Off (and later by Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Spin-Off), Liberty Interactive will be responsible for the payment of the $32,336 of deferred principal amount and for the payment of interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, thereon. In 2013, the amount of such interest for which Liberty Interactive is responsible for was $3,396. Of this amount, $777 was reported in the "Summary Compensation Table" as above-market earnings that were credited to Mr. Shean's deferred compensation account during 2013.

In our prior year proxy statements, we reported the following above-market earnings that were credited as interest to Mr. Shean's deferred compensation accounts during the years reported:

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, 2013. 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 tables are based on the closing market prices on December 31, 2013, the last trading day of such year, for our Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, which were $29.35 and $122.59, respectively. The value of the options and SARs shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise or base price of the award and the applicable closing market price. The value of the restricted stock shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of shares unvested.

        Each of our named executive officers has received awards and payments under the existing incentive plans. Additionally, each of Messrs. Maffei, Baer and George is entitled to certain payments and acceleration rights upon termination under his respective employment agreement. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason" below.

        The circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout are described below and in the footnotes to the table (other than those described under "—Executive Compensation Arrangements," which are incorporated by reference herein):

        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 employment with our company for any reason, each named executive officer would only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his termination date, except that each of Mr. Maffei, Mr. George and Mr. Baer has certain acceleration rights with respect to his equity awards and is entitled to certain other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment with our company for good reason (as defined in their respective employment agreements). See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei," and "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael A. George" above. See also "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason" below. Neither Mr. Shean nor Mr. Rosenthaler is entitled to any severance payments or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment for any reason.

        Termination for Cause.    All outstanding equity grants constituting options or stock appreciation rights, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, and all equity grants constituting unvested restricted shares under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer (other than Mr. Maffei and Mr. George in the case of equity grants constituting options or similar rights) who is terminated for "cause." The existing incentive plans, which govern the awards unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, define "cause" as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform his 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. Each of Mr. Maffei and Mr. George has certain rights to exercise vested options or similar rights following a termination for cause and the employment agreements of Mr. Maffei, Mr. Baer and Mr. George have definitions of cause that are different from the definition under the incentive plan. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

57


        Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.    Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, each of Mr. Maffei's and Mr. George's options and restricted shares are subject to acceleration upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason. Each of them is also entitled under certain circumstances to severance payments and other benefits upon a termination without cause or for good reason. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" and "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael A. George above.

        The award agreements relating to Mr. Baer's multi-year award provide that upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason (each as defined in his employment agreement), a pro rata portion of his unvested options and restricted shares as of the date of termination will vest based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date plus 365 days. This pro rata vesting is applied separately with respect to each tranche of his options and restricted shares based on the vesting period for that tranche. Mr. Baer is also entitled under certain circumstances to severance payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment without cause or for good reason. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Richard N. Baer.

        Messrs. Shean's and Rosenthaler's multi-year awards, which are their only unvested awards, provide for vesting upon a termination without cause of those options or restricted shares, as applicable, that would have vested during the 12-month period following the termination date if such person had remained an employee, plus a pro rata portion of the remaining unvested options or restricted shares, as applicable, based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date. Neither of these officers is 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 existing incentive plans and applicable award agreements provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards.

        Each of Mr. Maffei, Mr. George and Mr. Baer is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits if he dies while employed by our company. See "Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

        No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to life insurance policies, which we make available to all our employees.

        Disability.    If the employment of any of the named executive officers is terminated due to disability, which is defined in the incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards.

        Each of Mr. Maffei, Mr. George and Mr. Baer is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment due to disability. See "Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

        No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to short-term and long-term disability policies, which we make available to all our employees.

        Change in Control.    In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards held by the named executive officers. A change in control is generally defined as:

58


        In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, our compensation committee may determine not to accelerate the existing equity awards of the named executive officers if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing awards, except that Mr. Maffei's awards may also be subject to acceleration upon a change in control, including of the type described in the last bullet point, pursuant to the terms of his Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed no such determination was made by the compensation committee.

If Mr. Maffei's employment had been terminated at Liberty Media's election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control), as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment of $7,800,000. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above. The 50% of such lump sum severance payment that would have been allocable to Liberty Media pursuant to the services agreement is not reflected in the table.

Based on the number of vested options and SARs held by each named executive officer at year-end. For more information, see the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table above.

(3)
Based on (i) the number of vested options and SARs held by Mr. Maffei at year-end and (ii) the number of unvested options and shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Maffei at year-end that would vest pursuant to the forward-vesting provisions in his employment agreement if he were terminated without cause or for good reason at year-end.

In addition, if Mr. George's employment with QVC had been terminated at QVC's election without cause or by Mr. George for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) within six months following a change in control of QVC, his awards would have vested in full.

(5)
If Mr. Maffei's employment had been terminated at Liberty Media's election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) or by reason of disability, as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to receive personal use of the corporate aircraft for 120 hours per year over an 18-month period. Perquisite amount of $658,048 includes (i) the maximum potential incremental cost of using the corporate aircraft

(6)
If Mr. Baer's employment had been terminated due to his death or disability or at Liberty Media's election without cause or by Mr. Baer for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times his base salary then in effect. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Richard N. Baer" above. The 52% of such lump sum severance payment that would have been allocable to Liberty Media pursuant to the services agreement is not reflected in the table.

(7)
Based on (i) the number of vested options and SARs held by such named executive officer at year-end and (ii) the number of unvested options and SARs and the number of shares of restricted stock held by such named executive officer at year-end that would vest pursuant to the forward-vesting provisions in such named executive officer's award agreements if he were terminated without cause or, in the case of Mr. Baer, if he voluntarily terminated for good reason, at year-end. See the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason" above.

(8)
If Mr. George's employment had been terminated at QVC's election without cause or by Mr. George for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control), as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment of $1,500,000. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael A. George" above.

(9)
If Mr. George's employment had been terminated at QVC's election without cause or by Mr. George for good reason (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control) or in the event of his death or disability, he would have been entitled to receive a base compensation continuing payment for one year equal to his base salary upon termination.

Represents deferred compensation payable to Mr. Shean based on a one-time deferral election of a portion of his annual cash bonus that was allocable to and paid by Liberty Interactive pursuant to the services agreement. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan" and "—Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans" above for more information.

(13)
Under the 2006 deferred compensation plan, we do not and Liberty Media does not have an acceleration right to pay out account balances to Mr. Shean upon this type of termination. However, Mr. Shean had the right to file an election at the time of his initial deferral to receive distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan upon his separation from service, including under these circumstances. For purposes of the tabular presentation above, we have assumed that Mr. Shean has elected to receive payout upon a separation from service of all deferred compensation, including interest.

(14)
The 2006 deferred compensation plan provides Liberty Media's compensation committee with the option of terminating the plan 30 days preceding or within 12 months after a change of control of Liberty Media and distributing the account balances (which option is assumed to have been exercised for purposes of the tabular presentation above).

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        In the interest of maintaining consistent disclosure with the tables set forth in this section and in "Executive Compensation" above, we have not adjusted any of the LVNTA and LVNTB share numbers described throughout this section to reflect changes resulting from our April 2014 stock split.


Nonemployee Directors

        Director Fees.    Each of our directors who is not an employee of our company is paid an annual fee of $175,000 (which, in 2013, was $169,000) (which we refer to as the director fee), of which $85,000 ($83,000 in 2013) is payable in cash and the balance is payable in restricted shares or options to purchase shares of LINTA or LVNTA. See "—Director Restricted Share Grants" and "—Director Option Grants" below for information on the incentive awards granted in 2013 to the nonemployee directors. We do not offer our directors residing outside of Colorado a fee for attending meetings at our offices in Englewood, Colorado, however we did offer such a fee with respect to meetings in 2013 in the amount of $2,000 per meeting. The chairman of the audit committee of our board of directors and each other member of that committee is paid an additional annual fee of $30,000. With respect to our executive committee, each nonemployee member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for his participation on the committee. With respect to our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for his or her participation on each such committee, except that any committee member who is also the chairman of that committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $20,000 for his or her participation on that committee. The cash portion of the director fees, the meeting fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears.

        Charitable Contributions.    If a director makes a donation to our political action committee, we will make a matching donation to a charity of his or her choice in an amount not to exceed $10,000.

        Equity Incentive Plans.    The Liberty Interactive Corporation 2002 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011), as amended (the 2002 director plan) and the Liberty Interactive Corporation 2011 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011), as amended (the 2011 director plan) are administered by our entire board of directors. 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 2002 director plan and the 2011 director plan are 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, SARs, restricted shares and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2011 director plan. The 2002 director plan expired according to its terms on December 17, 2012, and as a result no further grants are permitted under this plan

        As of March 31, 2014, the maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2011 director plan is 855,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the respective plans. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2011 director plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

        In 2013, each of our non-employee directors was given a choice of receiving his or her annual equity grant in the form of restricted shares or options.

        Director Restricted Share Grants.    Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the 2011 director plan, on December 16, 2013, each of Mr. Rapley, Mr. Romrell, Dr. Evan Malone and Ms. Wong were granted 2,558 restricted shares of LINTA and 159 restricted shares of LVNTA and

62


Mr. Gilchrist was granted 159 restricted shares of LVNTA. These restricted shares will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and will be forfeited if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date.

        Director Option Grants.    Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the 2011 director plan, on December 16, 2013, each of Messrs. Robison and Gilchrist were granted options to purchase 6,396 shares of LINTA at an exercise price equal to $27.73 and Mr. Robison was granted options to purchase 330 shares of LVNTA at an exercise price equal to $116.91, which, in each case, was the closing price of such stock on the grant date. The per share grant date fair value of these options for each director was $11.4781 with respect to the LINTA options and $53.1256 with respect to the LVNTA options. The options will become exercisable on the second anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and will be terminated without becoming exercisable if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date. Once vested, the options will remain exercisable until the seventh anniversary of the grant date, or, if earlier, until the first business day following the first anniversary of the date the grantee ceases to be a director.

        Director Deferred Compensation Plan.    Effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, directors of our company are eligible to participate in the Liberty Interactive Corporation Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the director deferred compensation plan), pursuant to which eligible directors of our company can elect to defer all or any portion of their annual cash fees that they would otherwise be entitled to receive. The deferral of such annual cash fees shall be effected by a reduction in the quarterly payment of such annual cash fees by the percentage specified in the director's election. Elections are required to be made in advance of certain deadlines, which generally must be on or before the close of business on December 31 of the year prior to the year to which the director's election will apply, and elections must include the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or substantially equal installments over a period not to exceed ten years. Compensation deferred under the director deferred compensation plan earned interest at the rate of 9% per year, compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter.


John C. Malone

        In connection with the merger of TCI and AT&T in 1999, an employment agreement between John C. Malone and TCI was assigned to our company. In connection with the LMC Split-Off and the LMC Spin-Off, Mr. Malone's employment agreement (as amended) and his deferred compensation arrangements, as described below, were assumed by Old LMC and later Liberty Media. The term of Mr. Malone's employment agreement is extended daily so that the remainder of the employment term is five years. The employment agreement was amended in June 1999 to provide for, among other things, an annual salary of $2,600, subject to increase with board approval. The employment agreement was amended in 2003 to provide for payment or reimbursement of personal expenses, including professional fees and other expenses incurred by Mr. Malone for estate, tax planning and other services, and for personal use of corporate aircraft and flight crew. The aggregate amount of such payments or reimbursements and the value of his personal use of corporate aircraft was originally limited to $500,000 per year but increased to $1 million effective January 1, 2007 by our compensation committee. Although the "Director Compensation Table" table below reflects the portion of the aggregate incremental cost of Mr. Malone's personal use of our corporate aircraft attributable to our company, the value of his aircraft use for purposes of his employment agreement is determined in accordance with SIFL, which aggregated $205,831 for use of the aircraft by our company and Old LMC during the year ended December 31, 2013. A portion of the costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, incurred with respect to Mr. Malone were allocated to our company and reimbursed to Liberty Media under the services agreement.

        In December 2008, the compensation committee determined to modify Mr. Malone's employment arrangements to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving fixed monthly payments in 2009, while he remains employed by our company, in satisfaction of our obligations to him under a 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, a 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and an installment severance plan, in each case, entered into with him by our predecessors (and which had been assumed by our company). At the time of the amendment, the amounts owed to Mr. Malone under these arrangements aggregated approximately $2.4 million, $20 million and $39 million, respectively. As a result of these modifications, Mr. Malone receives 240 equal monthly installments, which commenced February 2009, of: (1) approximately $20,000 under the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, (2) approximately $237,000 under the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and (3) approximately $164,000 under the installment severance plan. Interest ceased to accrue under the installment severance plan once these payments began; however, interest continues to accrue on the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 8% per annum and on the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 13% per annum. Following certain termination events, Mr. Malone (or, in the event of Mr. Malone's death, his beneficiaries) would be entitled to receive the remaining payments under these arrangements, subject to certain conditions. In connection with the LMC Split-Off and the LMC Spin-Off, Old LMC and later Liberty Media assumed all outstanding obligations under these deferred compensation arrangements and the installment severance plan.

        Under the terms of Mr. Malone's employment agreement, he is entitled to receive upon the termination of his employment for any reason (other than for death or "cause"), a lump sum equal to his salary for a period of 5 full years following termination (calculated on the basis of $2,600 per annum, the lump sum severance payment). As described above, in connection with the LMC Split-Off and later the LMC Spin-Off, Liberty Media assumed Mr. Malone's employment agreement and all outstanding obligations thereunder, and we will reimburse Liberty Media for our allocated portion of any such lump sum severance payments made thereunder.
