Malone ("Mr. Malone" or the "Reporting Person") pursuant to the split-off (the "Split-Off") of the Issuer from Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty Media"), which was completed on December 15, 2025 (the "Split-Off Date"). The Split-Off was effected through a redemption and exchange, in which, among other things, each holder of a share of Liberty Media's Series B Liberty Live common stock, par value $0.01 per share, received one share of the Issuer's Series B Liberty Live Group Common Stock. As a result, immediately following the Split-Off, Mr. Malone beneficially owned 2,465,003 shares of Series B Liberty Live Group Common Stock. For further information on the Split-Off, see the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission, file no. 333-288960. The Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of the shares reported on this Statement pursuant to the Split-Off, which was completed on December 15, 2025. The Reporting Person acquired and holds the shares for investment purposes.

The Reporting Person currently intends to acquire additional voting securities of the Issuer to exceed such threshold following the Split-Off, including pursuant to the Malone-Bennett Exchange Agreement described in Item 6. However, there can be no assurance regarding the number, manner or timing of any such acquisitions or that the Reporting Person will ultimately acquire additional equity securities of the Issuer in the near term or in the future at all. Except as otherwise described in this Statement, the Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (i) any acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or any disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (vii) any change in the Issuer's articles of association or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) any delisting from a national securities exchange or any loss of authorization for quotation in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association of a class of securities of the Issuer; (ix) any termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of a class of equity securities of the Issuer; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Person may determine to change his intentions with respect to the Issuer at any time in the future and may instead, for example, elect to dispose of all or a portion of his holdings of shares, as the case may be. In reaching any determination as to his future course of action, the Reporting Person will take into consideration various factors, such as the Issuer's business and prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, other business opportunities available to the Reporting Person, tax and estate planning considerations, liquidity needs and general economic and stock market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the shares.
