PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

        We are furnishing this proxy statement in connection with the board of directors' solicitation of proxies for use at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 8:30 a.m., local time, at the corporate offices of Starz, 8900 Liberty Circle, Englewood, CO, 80112 on August 4, 2014, or at any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, we will ask you to consider and vote on the proposals described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in this proxy statement. We are soliciting proxies from holders of our Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (LMCA), and Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (LMCB). We refer to LMCA and LMCB together as our common stock.

        We previously announced that our board has approved the issuance, by means of a dividend (the Dividend), of two shares of our Series C common stock (LMCK), par value $0.01 per share, for each outstanding share of LMCA or LMCB held, as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 7, 2014, the record date for the Dividend. The payment date for the Dividend is expected to be July 23, 2014. Because there are no LMCK shares issued as of the date of this proxy statement, we have not given effect to the Dividend in the following discussion.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

Time, Place and Date

        The annual meeting of the stockholders is to be held at 8:30 a.m., local time, on August 4, 2014, at the corporate offices of Starz, 8900 Liberty Circle, Englewood, CO 80112, telephone (720) 852-7700.

Purpose

        At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on each of the following:

•

the election of directors proposal, to elect Evan D. Malone, David E. Rapley and Larry E. Romrell to continue serving as Class I members of our board until the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier resignation or removal; and



•

the auditors ratification proposal, to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

        You may also be asked to consider and vote on such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting, although we are not aware at this time of any other business that might come before the annual meeting.

Quorum

        In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that at least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date must be represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy. For purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the meeting even if you indicate on your proxy that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular proposal or proposals, or if those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares (broker non-votes) will nevertheless be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. See "—Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes" below.

Who May Vote

        Holders of shares of our common stock, as recorded in our stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 19, 2014 (such date and time, the record date for the annual meeting), will be entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to vote at the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Votes Required

        Each director nominee who receives a plurality of the affirmative votes of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are entitled to vote at the annual meeting and are voted in person or by proxy, voting together as a single class, will be elected to office.

        Approval of the auditors ratification proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.

Votes You Have

        At the annual meeting, holders of shares of LMCA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of LMCB will have ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show are owned as of the record date.

2

Table of Contents

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

        Our board of directors has approved each of the proposals and recommends that you vote "FOR" each of them.

Shares Outstanding

        As of the record date for the annual meeting, an aggregate of 104,454,585 shares of LMCA and 9,874,072 shares of LMCB were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Number of Holders

        There were, as of the record date, approximately 1,500 and 100 record holders of LMCA and LMCB, respectively (which amounts do not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees, but include each such institution as one holder).

Voting Procedures for Record Holders

        Holders of record of our common stock as of the record date may vote in person at the annual meeting. Alternatively, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail, or by voting by telephone or through the Internet. Instructions for voting by using the telephone or the Internet are printed on the proxy voting instructions attached to the proxy card. In order to vote through the Internet, holders should have their proxy cards available so they can input the required information from the card, and log onto the Internet website address shown on the proxy card. When holders log onto the Internet website address, they will receive instructions on how to vote their shares. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by use of a personal identification number, which will be provided to each voting stockholder separately. Unless subsequently revoked, shares of our common stock represented by a proxy submitted as described herein and received at or before the annual meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy.

        YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.    It is recommended that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You may change your vote at the annual meeting.

        If a proxy is signed and returned by a record holder without indicating any voting instructions as to a proposal enumerated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted "FOR" the approval of that proposal.

        If you submit a proxy card on which you indicate that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect on the election of directors proposal and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the auditors ratification proposal.

        If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote in person at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum, and your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether any of the proposals are approved (if a quorum is present).

Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name

        General.    If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee when voting your shares or to grant or revoke a proxy. The rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees from voting shares on behalf of their clients with respect to numerous matters, including, in our case, the election of directors proposal.

3

Table of Contents

Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on this matter, we encourage you to provide promptly specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.

        Effect of Broker Non-Votes.    Broker non-votes are counted as shares of our common stock present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum but will have no effect on either of the proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of common stock or how to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Revoking a Proxy

        If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the annual meeting, you may change your vote by voting in person at the annual meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Liberty Media Corporation, c/o Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43102, Providence, Rhode Island 02940. Any signed proxy revocation or new signed proxy must be received before the start of the annual meeting. In addition, you may change your vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 2:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 4, 2014.

        Your attendance at the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you.

        If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Solicitation of Proxies

        We are soliciting proxies by means of our proxy statement and our annual report (together, the proxy materials) on behalf of our board of directors. In addition to this mailing, our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We also reimburse brokers and other nominees for their expenses in sending the Notice and, if requested, paper proxy materials to you and getting your voting instructions.

Other Matters to Be Voted on at the Annual Meeting

        Our board of directors is not currently aware of any business to be acted on at the annual meeting other than that which is described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement. If, however, other matters are properly brought to a vote at the annual meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote or to act on these matters according to their best judgment, unless you indicate otherwise in your proxy. In the event there is a proposal to adjourn or postpone the annual meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote on that proposal.

        Shares of restricted stock that have been granted pursuant to our incentive plans are included in the outstanding share numbers, for purposes of the table below and throughout this proxy statement. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after March 31, 2014, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person and for the aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person. For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of LMCB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of LMCA, are reported as beneficial ownership of LMCB only, and not as beneficial ownership of LMCA. So far as is known to us, the persons indicated below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares indicated as owned by them, except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

PROPOSAL 2—THE AUDITORS RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

        We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

        Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the audit committee of our board of directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if our audit committee determines that such a change would be advisable. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our audit committee will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the year ending December 31, 2014.

        A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit Fees and All Other Fees

        The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for 2013 and 2012 and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP.

        Our audit committee has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG LLP to our company other than auditing is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence and believes that the provision of such other services is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor

        Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as pre-approved services):

•

audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services associated with registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed or issued in connection with securities offerings (including comfort letters and consents), (iii) attestations of management reports on our internal controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions;



•

audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial statement audits of employee benefit plans, (iii) consultations with management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions, (iv) attest services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of our consolidated financial statements, (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions, and (vii) general assistance with implementation of the requirements of certain SEC rules or listing standards; and



•

tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and review services, and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is expected to result in fees in excess of $100,000, or if individual projects under $100,000 are expected to total $500,000 during the period between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee. Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Donne F. Fisher currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditor is required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of our audit committee.

        Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

        All services provided by our independent auditor during 2013 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy in place.

Vote and Recommendation

        The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the auditors ratification proposal.

        Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the auditors ratification proposal.

MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Executive Officers

        The following lists the executive officers of our company (other than Gregory B. Maffei, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and John C. Malone, our Chairman of the Board, who also serve as directors of our company and who are listed under "Proposals of Our Board—Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal"), their ages and a description of their business experience, including positions held with our company. All positions referenced in the table below with our company include, where applicable, positions with our predecessors.

        Our executive officers will serve in such capacities until their respective successors have been duly elected and have been qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal from office. There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption, other than Evan D. Malone who is the son of John C. Malone.

        During the past ten years, none of the above persons has had any involvement in such legal proceedings as would be material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16 forms they file.

        Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms furnished to us during our most recent fiscal year, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2013, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were met.

Code of Ethics

        We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, which constitutes our "code of ethics" within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of ethics is available on our website at www.libertymedia.com.

Director Independence

        It is our policy that a majority of the members of our board of directors be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our board of directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. To assist our board of directors in determining which of our directors qualify as independent for purposes of Nasdaq rules as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors follows the Corporate Governance Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market on the criteria for director independence.

        Our board of directors has determined that each of Robert R. Bennett, Donne F. Fisher, M. Ian G. Gilchrist, David E. Rapley, Larry E. Romrell and Andrea L. Wong qualifies as an independent director of our company.

Board Composition

        As described above under "Proposals of Our Board—Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal", our board is comprised of directors with a broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in media and telecommunications, science and technology, venture capital, investment banking, auditing and financial engineering. Our board is also chronologically diverse with our members' ages spanning four decades. For more information on our policies with respect to board candidates, see "—Committees of the Board of Directors—Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee" below.

Board Leadership Structure

        Our board has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer). John C. Malone, one of our largest stockholders, holds the position of Chairman of the Board, leads our board and board meetings and provides strategic guidance to our Chief Executive Officer. Gregory B. Maffei, our President, holds the position of Chief Executive Officer, leads our management team and is responsible for driving the performance of our company. We believe this division of responsibility effectively assists our board in fulfilling its duties.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

        The board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks and risks relating to potential conflicts of interest. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements with senior officers, and our nominating and corporate governance committee manages risks associated with the independence of the board. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full board. The oversight responsibility of the board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the board about the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, and other risks. Our management reporting processes include regular reports from our Chief Executive Officer, which are prepared with input from our senior management team, and includes input from our Internal Audit group.

•

Table of Contents

        In connection with its evaluation, the nominating and corporate governance committee may request additional information from the proposing stockholder and the candidate. The nominating and corporate governance committee has sole discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

        To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. However, the nominating and corporate governance committee believes that nominees for director should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the long-term interests of our stockholders. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one recommended by a stockholder, the nominating and corporate governance committee will take into account a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

independence from management;



•

his or her unique background, including education, professional experience and relevant skill sets;



•

judgment, skill, integrity and reputation;



•

existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner;



•

personal conflicts of interest, if any; and



•

the size and composition of the existing board of directors, including whether the potential director nominee would positively impact the composition of the board by bringing a new perspective or viewpoint to the board of directors.

The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, our board and the nominating and corporate governance committee believe that it is essential that our board members represent diverse viewpoints.

        When seeking candidates for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also ask the candidate to meet with management. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to our board of directors, it may recommend to the full board that candidate's nomination and election.

        Prior to nominating an incumbent director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the director's past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the board of directors and its committees and the director's formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted by the board and the board committees of which such individual is a member.

        The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Messrs. Malone, Rapley and Romrell, who are nominated for election at the annual meeting, continue to be qualified to serve as directors of our company and such nomination was approved by the entire board of directors.

        Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has also adopted corporate governance guidelines, which were developed by the nominating and corporate governance committee. The charter and the corporate governance guidelines are available on our website at www.libertymedia.com.

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):

•

John C. Malone, our Chairman of the Board;



•

Gregory B. Maffei, our Chief Executive Officer and President;



•

Christopher W. Shean, our Chief Financial Officer; and



•

Richard N. Baer and Albert E. Rosenthaler, our other two most highly compensated executive officers at the end of 2013.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Overview; Philosophy

        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.

Services Agreements

        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

24

Table of Contents

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.

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

        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:

•

the named executive officer's experience and overall effectiveness;



•

the named executive officer's performance against individual performance goals;



•

the responsibilities of the named executive officer, including any changes to those responsibilities over the year;



•

the named executive officer's demonstrated leadership and management ability;



•

the named executive officer's compensation relative to other executives at our company with similar, greater or lesser responsibilities;



•

the named executive officer's compensation relative to compensation paid to similarly situated executives at companies within our industry;



•

the named executive officer's years of service with us; and



•

the performance of any group for which the named executive officer is primarily responsible.

Setting Executive Compensation

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

•

each element of the named executive officer's historical compensation, including salary, bonus, equity compensation, perquisites and other personal benefits;

25

Table of Contents

•

the financial performance of our company compared to internal forecasts and budgets;



•

the scope of the named executive officer's responsibilities;



•

the performance of the group reporting to the named executive officer; and



•

the performance evaluations and compensation recommendations given by our Chief Executive Officer as to each other named executive officer.

        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."

Elements of 2013 Executive Compensation

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

•

base salary;



•

a performance-based bonus, payable in cash;



•

equity incentive awards granted in prior years;



•

perquisites and other limited personal benefits; and



•

deferred compensation arrangements.

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

26

Table of Contents

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)

27

Table of Contents

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

28

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

29

Table of Contents

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

        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.

        Based on a review of these forecasts, our compensation committee determined that the growth metrics were achieved to the extent described below:

        Our compensation committee then used its subjective discretion to translate the achievement of these growth metrics into a percentage payable to each participant of his LMC Maximum Corporate Bonus, as follows:

        Aggregate Results.    The following table presents information concerning the aggregate 2013 performance-based bonus amounts payable to each named executive officer by our company (other than Mr. Malone), after giving effect to the determinations described above.

Our compensation committee then noted that, when combined with the total 2013 performance-based bonus amounts paid by Liberty Interactive to the overlapping named executive officers, each of our named executive officers received the following portion of his respective Ultimate Bonus Amount:

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:

•

limited personal use of corporate aircraft;



•

occasional, personal use of an apartment in New York City owned by a subsidiary of our company, which is primarily used for business purposes, and occasional, personal use of a company car and driver;



•

a deferred compensation plan that provides above-market preferential returns; and



•

in the case of Mr. Malone, an annual allowance of $1 million for personal expenses provided pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement (see "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—John C. Malone").

        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:

•

landing and parking expenses;



•

crew travel expenses;



•

supplies and catering;

32

Table of Contents

•

aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight;



•

any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; and



•

passenger ground transportation.

        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.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

        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

33

Table of Contents

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.

Policy on Restatements

        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.
