WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549
SCHEDULE 13D/A
(Amendment No. 4)

John C. Malone
Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934
in respect of
GCI LIBERTY, INC.

This statement on Schedule
13D relates to the Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Common Stock”), Series B
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Common Stock” and, together with the Series A Common
Stock, the “Common Stock”), and Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred
Stock” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Capital Stock”), of GCI Liberty, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Issuer” or “GCI Liberty”). The statement on Schedule 13D originally filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Reporting Person, Mr. John C. Malone (“Mr.
Malone” or the “Reporting Person”), on March 16, 2018 as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule
13D filed with the SEC on June 29, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 7, 2020 and Amendment
No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 30, 2020 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), is hereby
amended and supplemented to include the information set forth herein.
This amended
statement on Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment”) constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D. This
Amendment is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and an exit filing for the Reporting Person. Capitalized
terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D
is unmodified.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
The information contained
in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information at the end of such Item:
On
December 18, 2020, Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) completed its previously announced
combination (the “Combination”) with the Issuer, which was effected by (i) a merger of Grizzly Merger
Sub 2, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Grizzly Merger Sub 1,
LLC (“Merger LLC”), with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer surviving
as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Broadband and (ii) the merger of the Issuer (as the surviving
corporation in the Merger) with and into Merger LLC (the “Upstream Merger”), with Merger LLC surviving the
Upstream Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Broadband. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as August 6, 2020, by and among Liberty
Broadband, Merger LLC, Merger Sub and the Issuer, (i) each share of Series A Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (except for shares held by
GCI Liberty as treasury stock) was converted into the right to receive 0.580 of a share of Series C common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Liberty Broadband (the “LBRD Series C Common Stock”) (the
“Series A Consideration”), (ii) each share of Series B Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for shares held by GCI Liberty as treasury stock and for shares of
Series B Common Stock to which the holder thereof properly demands and does not withdraw its demand for or otherwise
lose its right to, appraisal of such shares) was converted into the right to receive 0.580 of a share of Series B common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Liberty Broadband (the “LBRD Series B Common Stock”) (the
“Series B Consideration” and, together with the Series A Consideration, the “Common
Consideration”), and (iii) each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (except for shares held by GCI Liberty as treasury stock) was converted into the right to receive one share of
newly-issued Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Liberty Broadband (the
“LBRD Preferred Stock”) (the “Preferred Consideration” and, together with the Common
Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Prior to the consummation of the Merger, without giving effect
to the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Person beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding
shares of Series A Common Stock and approximately 89.6% of the outstanding shares of Series B Common Stock. No
fractional shares of LBRD Series C Common Stock or LBRD Series B Common Stock were issued in the Combination. Cash
will be paid in lieu of fractional shares as described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus forming a part of Amendment
No. 2 to Liberty Broadband’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 30, 2020.
Item 5. Interest in Securities
of the Issuer.

is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) Mr. Malone

(b) Not

(c) As
previously disclosed in the Schedule 13D, Mr. Malone agreed to and did convert each outstanding share of Series B Common Stock
he beneficially owned immediately prior to the Effective Time into one share of Series A Common Stock. Except as provided
in this Amendment, Mr. Malone has not effected any other transactions with respect to the Capital Stock since Amendment No. 3
to the Statement on Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC on November 30, 2020.
(d) Not
applicable.
(e) Mr. Malone
and, to his knowledge, Leslie Malone and the Trusts, ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of Series A
Common Stock, Series B Common Stock and Preferred Stock on December 18, 2020.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The information contained in
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information at the end of such Item:
On December 18,
2020, Liberty Broadband completed its previously announced Combination with the Issuer, which was effected by the Merger and the
Upstream Merger. As a result, all shares of Capital Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were converted into
the right to receive the Merger Consideration subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
Upon
completion of the Combination on December 18, 2020, the obligations to vote as provided in the Voting Agreement, dated August 6,
2020, by and among the Issuer, Liberty Broadband, Mr. Malone and certain related holders were terminated in accordance with
