Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We are committed to protecting the security and integrity of our systems, networks, databases and applications and, as a result, have implemented processes designed to prevent, assess, identify, and manage material risks associated with cybersecurity threats . Liberty s corporate level IT and cybersecurity functions assess, identify, and manage risks from cybersecurity threats at the corporate level, while Formula 1 operates its own cybersecurity function with oversight from Liberty. Sirius XM Holdings, as a separate publicly traded company from Liberty, operates its own cybersecurity function. While primary oversight for Sirius XM Holdings rests with its board of directors and Audit Committee, we receive regular reporting from Sirius XM Holdings management and collaborate with those tasked with oversight to ensure risks are appropriately addressed. Live Nation, an equity affiliate, as a separate publicly traded company from Liberty, operates its own cybersecurity function. Oversight for Live Nation s cybersecurity functions rests with its board of directors, of which our CEO is the Chairman, in collaboration with Live Nation s Global Data Governance Board and Audit Committee. Cybersecurity risks are assessed as part of our enterprise risk assessment and risk management program and our cybersecurity risk management program is designed and assessed based on recognized frameworks, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (“NIST CSF ). We rely on a multidisciplinary team, including our information security function, legal department, management, and third-party consultants, as described further below, to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity threats and risks. We identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and our risk profile using various methods including, using manual and automated tools such as vulnerability scanning software, monitoring existing and emerging cybersecurity threats, analyzing reports of threats and threat actors, conducting scans of the threat environment, evaluating our industry s risk profile, utilizing internal and external audits and assessments, and conducting threat and vulnerability assessments. To manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our information systems and data, we implement and maintain various technical, physical and organizational measures, processes and policies. These measures include risk assessments, incident detection and response, vulnerability management, disaster recovery and business continuity plans, internal controls within our IT, Security and other departments, encryption of data, network security controls, access controls, physical security, asset management, system monitoring, vendor risk management program, employee cybersecurity awareness and training, phishing tests, and penetration testing. Cybersecurity awareness training is also made available annually to our Board of Directors. In the event of a potential cybersecurity incident, or a series of related cybersecurity incidents, we have cybersecurity incident response frameworks in place at the corporate level and at Formula 1. These frameworks are a set of coordinated procedures and tasks that our incident response teams execute with the goal of ensuring timely and accurate identification, resolution and reporting of cybersecurity incidents both internally and externally, as necessary. I-66 Table of Contents To operate our businesses, we utilize certain third-party service providers to perform a variety of operational functions. We have implemented a third-party risk management program to evaluate the cybersecurity practices of higher risk vendors and vendors that encounter our systems or data. We additionally engage and retain third-party consultants, legal advisors and assessors to keep us apprised of emerging third-party risk, defense and mitigation strategies, and governance best practices. Impact of cybersecurity risks on business strategy, results of operations or financial condition As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
