If you are eligible for householding, but you and other stockholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of this Proxy Statement or if you hold our common stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of each of these documents for your household, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. by writing to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Attn: Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or by calling, toll-free in the United States, 1-866-540-7095. If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate copy of this Proxy Statement or if you do not wish to continue to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of these documents in the future, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. as indicated above.

that is printed on your Notice or proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the meeting on June 10, 2024.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES VOTING DURING THE ANNUAL MEETING. If during the check-in time or during the annual meeting you have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the applicable virtual meeting website Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. will have technicians ready to assist you with any individual technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting website. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting website during the check-in or meeting time for the annual meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting website log-in page at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LTAH2024. If Liberty TripAdvisor experiences technical difficulties during the annual meeting (e.g., a temporary or prolonged power outage), it will determine whether the annual meeting can be promptly reconvened (if the technical difficulty is temporary) or whether the annual meeting will need to be reconvened on a later day (if the technical difficulty is more prolonged). In any such situation, Liberty TripAdvisor will promptly notify stockholders of the decision via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LTAH2024.

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 Gregory B. Maffei and Michael J. Malone, to continue serving as Class IIl members of our Board until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier resignation or removal;

​

•

the auditors ratification proposal, to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and

​

•

the say-on-pay proposal, to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation”.

​

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.

​	Recommendation of Our Board of Directors				​
​	Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved each of the proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials and recommends that you vote FOR the election of each director nominee, FOR the auditors ratification proposal and FOR the say-on-pay proposal.	​	​		​

QUORUM

In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date (as defined below) and entitled to vote at the annual meeting must be represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy. Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of a quorum at the meeting. 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 April 16, 2024 (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.

The Annual Meeting

VOTES REQUIRED

Each director nominee who receives a plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, will be elected to office.

Approval of each of the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined 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.

Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of each required vote.

VOTES YOU HAVE

At the annual meeting, holders of shares of LTRPA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of LTRPB will have ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show are owned as of the record date. Holders of LTRPP shares will not be eligible to vote at the annual meeting.

SHARES OUTSTANDING

As of the record date, 73,084,484 shares of LTRPA and 4,232,532 shares of LTRPB were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

NUMBER OF HOLDERS

There were, as of the record date, 720 and 39 record holders of LTRPA and LTRPB, 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 LTRPA and LTRPB as of the record date may vote via the Internet at the annual meeting or prior to the annual meeting by telephone or through the Internet. Alternatively, if they received a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail.

Holders of record may vote their shares electronically during the meeting via the Internet by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LTAH2024. To enter the annual meeting, holders will need the 16-digit control number that is printed on their Notice or proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the meeting to ensure that they are logged in when the meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the meeting on June 10, 2024.

Instructions for voting prior to the annual meeting by using the Internet are printed on the Notice or the proxy card. In order to vote prior to the annual meeting through the Internet, holders should have their Notices or proxy cards available so they can input the required information from the Notice or proxy card, and log onto the Internet website address shown on the Notice or proxy card. When holders log onto the Internet website address, they will receive instructions on how to vote their shares. 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 you submit a properly executed proxy 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 election of each director nominee and “FOR” each of the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​

The Annual Meeting

If you submit a proxy indicating that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect on the election of directors proposal, and it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” each of the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal.

If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. 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 LLC (Nasdaq) prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees from voting shares on behalf of their clients without specific instructions from their clients with respect to numerous matters, including, in our case, the election of directors proposal and the say-on-pay proposal, each as described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on these matters, 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 any of the proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of LTRPA and LTRPB 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 attending the annual meeting online and voting via the Internet at the annual meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. 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 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 9, 2024.

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 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 proxy materials to you and getting your voting instructions.

If you have any further questions about voting or attending the annual meeting, please contact Liberty TripAdvisor Investor Relations at [phone] or Broadridge at [phone] (outside the United States [phone]).

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 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

If the 2025 annual meeting takes place more than 30 days before or 30 days after June 10, 2025 (the anniversary of the 2024 annual meeting), a stockholder proposal, or any nomination by stockholders of a person or persons for election to the Board of Directors, will instead be required to be received at our executive offices at the foregoing address not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the first day on which notice of the date of the 2025 annual meeting is communicated to stockholders or public disclosure of the date of the 2025 annual meeting is made, whichever occurs first, in order to be considered for presentation at the 2025 annual meeting. In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than Liberty TripAdvisor nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), no later than April 11, 2025.

Proposal 1 – The Election of Directors Proposal

​

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERVIEW

​

What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote?

​

We are asking our stockholders to elect Gregory B. Maffei and Michael J. Malone to continue serving as Class IIl members of our Board until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier resignation or removal.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors, divided among three classes. Our Class IIl directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting, are Gregory B. Maffei and Michael J. Malone. These directors are nominated for election to our Board to continue to serve as Class IIl directors, and we have been informed that each of Messrs. Maffei and Malone is willing to continue to serve as a director of our company. The term of the Class IIl directors who are elected at the annual meeting will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2027. Our Class I directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2025, are Larry E. Romrell and J. David Wargo. Our Class Il directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2026, are Christy Haubegger, Chris Mueller and Albert Rosenthaler.

If any nominee should decline election or should become unable to serve as a director of our company for any reason before election at the annual meeting, votes will be cast by the persons appointed as proxies for a substitute nominee, if any, designated by the Board of Directors.

The following lists the two nominees for election as directors at the annual meeting and the five directors of our company whose term of office will continue after the annual meeting, and includes as to each person how long such person has been a director of our company, such person’s professional background, other public company directorships and other factors considered in the determination that such person possesses the requisite qualifications and skills to serve as a member of our Board of Directors. For additional information on our Board’s evaluation of director candidates or incumbent directors seeking re-election, see “Corporate Governance—Board Criteria and Director Candidates.” The number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each director is set forth in this proxy statement under the caption “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Messrs. Maffei and Malone, each of whom is nominated for election at the annual meeting, continue to be qualified to serve as directors of our company and such nominations were approved by the entire Board of Directors.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION

A plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to elect each of Gregory B. Maffei and Michael J. Malone as a Class IIl member of our Board of Directors.

​	OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR EACH DIRECTOR NOMINEE	​	​		​
​	The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR each director nominee. These individuals bring a range of relevant experiences and overall diversity of perspectives that is essential to good governance and leadership of our company.	​

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 applicable rules and regulations, including those adopted by the SEC, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our Board of Directors follows Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules on the criteria for director independence.

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Christy Haubegger, Michael J. Malone, Chris Mueller, Larry E. Romrell and J. David Wargo qualifies as an independent director of our company.

BOARD COMPOSITION

As described above under “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, strategy development, marketing, technology, venture capital, private equity, real estate finance, auditing and financial engineering. For more information on our policies with respect to Board candidates, see “—Board Criteria and Director Candidates” below.

BOARD CLASSIFICATION

As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors, divided among three classes. Our Board believes that its current classified structure, with directors serving for three-year terms, is the appropriate board structure for our company at this time and is in the best interests of our stockholders for the following reasons.

LONG-TERM FOCUS & ACCOUNTABILITY

Our Board believes that a classified board encourages our directors to look to the long-term best interest of our company and our stockholders, rather than being unduly influenced by the short-term focus of certain investors and special interests. In addition, our Board believes that three-year terms focus director accountability on the Board’s long-term strategic vision and performance, rather than short-term pressures and circumstances.

CONTINUITY OF BOARD LEADERSHIP

A classified board allows for a greater amount of stability and continuity providing institutional perspective and knowledge to both management and less-tenured directors. By its very nature, a classified board ensures that at any given time there will be experienced directors serving on our Board who are fully immersed in and knowledgeable about our businesses, including our relationships with current and potential strategic partners, as well as the competition, opportunities, risks and challenges that exist in the industries in which our businesses operate. We also believe the benefit of a classified board to our company and our stockholders comes not from continuity alone but rather from the continuity of highly qualified, engaged and knowledgeable directors focused on long-term stockholder interests. Each year, our nominating and corporate governance committee works actively to ensure our Board continues to be comprised of such individuals.

BOARD DIVERSITY

Our Board understands and appreciates the value and enrichment provided by a diverse board. As such, we actively seek diverse director candidates (see “—Board Criteria and Director Candidates”).

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Gregory B. Maffei currently serves as our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and is responsible for identifying and implementing strategic initiatives as well as providing executive leadership. Our Board believes that our President and Chief Executive Officer is best suited to serve as Chairman of the Board, because he is the director most familiar with our company’s business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities for our company, leading the Board in discussions regarding our business and strategic direction, and focusing the Board on execution of strategy. Independent directors and management have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside our company and industry, while our President and Chief Executive Officer brings significant financial and operational experience based on his past and present senior policy making positions as a director and/or executive officer at our company and other large public companies. Our Board believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer promotes strategy development and execution, and facilitates information flow between management and the Board. In light of the active involvement by our independent directors, our Board has not named a lead independent director.

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 oversees the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements with senior officers. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the nomination of individuals with the judgment, skills, integrity, and independence necessary to oversee the key risks associated with our company, as well as risks inherent in our corporate structure. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full Board. In addition, the oversight and review of other strategic risks are conducted directly by 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 short-, intermediate- and long-term risks. These areas of focus include existing and emerging strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, cybersecurity and other risks, including those related to material environmental and social matters such as climate change, human capital management, diversity, equity and inclusion, and community relations. Our management reporting processes include regular reports from Mr. Maffei, which are prepared with input from our senior management team, and also include input from our Internal Audit group and our

Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, who manages our company’s sustainability efforts and remains in regular contact with senior sustainability leaders at Tripadvisor who provide feedback and disclosure on material issues. Our company also receives the benefit of Liberty Media’s Corporate Responsibility Committee, which has cross-functional representation across all reaches of Liberty Media’s leadership. With our Board’s oversight, we seek to collaborate with Tripadvisor to drive best practices through regular sustainability-focused internal meetings and discussions, including on topics such as sustainability disclosure, diversity and inclusion, and cybersecurity.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of business conduct and 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 business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.libertytripadvisorholdings.com/investors/governance/governance-documents.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS; LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption.

During the past ten years, none of our directors and executive officers has had any involvement in such legal proceedings as would be material to an evaluation of his or her ability or integrity.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has four standing committees: audit, compensation, executive and nominating and corporate governance. The key responsibilities and focus areas of each committee, as well as their current members and information on number of meetings during 2023, are set forth below. The written charters for the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees as adopted by each such committee, as well as our corporate governance guidelines, can be found on our website at www.libertytripadvisorholdings.com.

Our Board of Directors, by resolution, may from time to time establish other committees of our Board of Directors, consisting of one or more of our directors. Any committee so established will have the powers delegated to it by resolution of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable law.

The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of each of the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees are independent. See “—Director Independence.”

BOARD CRITERIA AND DIRECTOR CANDIDATES

BOARD CRITERIA. 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. To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. As described in our corporate governance guidelines, director candidates are identified and nominated based on broad criteria, with the objective of identifying and retaining directors that can effectively develop our company’s strategy and oversee management’s execution of that strategy. In the director candidate identification and nomination process, our Board seeks a breadth of experience from a variety of industries and from professional disciplines, along with a diversity of gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics. 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, relevant skill sets and diversity of gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics;

​

•

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.

OUTSIDE COMMITMENTS. In recent years, some investors and proxy advisors have instituted “bright-line” proxy voting policies on the number of outside public company boards that a director may serve on. Our Board of Directors recognizes investors’ concerns that highly sought-after directors could lack the time and attention to adequately perform their duties and responsibilities, and considers each director’s performance and commitment to ensure their continued effectiveness as a director. Given our company’s ownership interest in Tripadvisor, our company and our Board values the positions certain of our directors and members of management hold on Tripadvisor’s board, as they provide our company with unique insight and input into Tripadvisor’s business and operations. The nominating and corporate governance committee also recognizes and values the benefits derived by our directors from their service on other public company boards, as such service provides our directors with diverse perspectives, in-depth industry knowledge and cross-industry insights, all of which enhance the knowledge base and skill set of our Board as a whole.

Our Board also recognizes the uniqueness of the relationships among Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband, Atlanta Braves Holdings and Liberty TripAdvisor, including the collaborative approach to addressing sustainability, as well as with the portfolio of assets within each of these public companies. To the extent our directors serve on more than one of the boards of these companies, we believe that such service is an important aspect of our directors’ (including Mr. Maffei’s) service, as it capitalizes on various synergies between and among these boards. For this reason, we believe that a better presentation of these directors’ outside commitments is to consider the number of their “non-Liberty” public company board directorships (see “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal—Our Board at a Glance”). Based on this perspective, we have considered the facts-and-circumstances of the roles of our directors with our company, including the following considerations:

•

from a historical perspective, the significant time and resources each of these directors has regularly dedicated to our company;

​

•

the nature of their board commitments relating to their respective roles with these companies;

​

•

the synergies between their respective service on these other boards and ours;

​

•

their respective service on “non-Liberty” public company board directorships; and

​

•

the respective directors’ personal skills, expertise and qualifications (including the broad industry knowledge of each such director).

DIRECTOR CANDIDATE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS. The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder provided that such recommendations are properly submitted. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination as a director should send the recommendation in writing to the Corporate Secretary, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado 80112. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed under “The Annual Meeting—Stockholder Proposals” above, and contain the following information:

•

the name and address of the proposing stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, and documentation indicating the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially and of record by such person and the holder or holders of record of those shares, together with a statement that the proposing stockholder is recommending a candidate for nomination as a director;

​

•

the candidate’s name, age, business and residence addresses, principal occupation or employment, business experience, educational background and any other information relevant in light of the factors considered by the nominating and corporate governance committee in making a determination of a candidate’s qualifications, as described below;

a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding between the proposing stockholder and/or beneficial owner(s), if different, and any other person(s) (including their names) under which the proposing stockholder is making the nomination and any affiliates or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such proposing stockholder(s) or beneficial owner (each a Proposing Person);

​

•

a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding that might affect the independence of the candidate as a member of our Board of Directors;

​

•

any other information that would be required under SEC rules in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate as a director;

​

•

a representation as to whether the Proposing Person intends (or is part of a group that intends) to deliver any proxy materials or otherwise solicit proxies in support of the director nominee;

​

•

a representation by each Proposing Person who is a holder of record of our common stock as to whether the notice is being given on behalf of the holder of record and/or one or more beneficial owners, the number of shares held by any beneficial owner along with evidence of such beneficial ownership and that such holder of record is entitled to vote at the annual stockholders meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual stockholders meeting at which the person named in such notice is to stand for election;

​

•

a written consent of the candidate to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director, if nominated and elected;

​

•

a representation as to whether the Proposing Person has received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from any other person regarding the nomination (a Stockholder Associated Person) (including the details of such assistance, funding or consideration); and

​

•

a representation as to whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transaction has been entered into with respect to our company within the last six months by, or is in effect with respect to, the Proposing Person, any person to be nominated by the proposing stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which transaction is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, the Proposing Person, its nominee, or any such Stockholder Associated Person.

​

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. The nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate a prospective nominee suggested by any stockholder in the same manner and against the same criteria as any other prospective nominee identified by the nominating and corporate governance committee.

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. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider any outside directorships held by such individual. See “—Outside Commitments” above.

BOARD MEETINGS

During 2023, there were 4 meetings of our full Board of Directors.

NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

DIRECTOR FEES

Each of our directors who is not an employee of, or service provider to, our company is paid an annual fee for 2024 of $178,700 (which, in 2023, was $170,200) (we refer to this as the director fee). For service on our Board in 2023, each director fee was paid 25% in LTRPA restricted stock units (RSUs), which were granted in December 2022 under the 2019 incentive plan (defined below) and vested one year from the grant date, and the remaining 75% of the director fee was paid in cash. Due to share availability considerations under the 2019 incentive plan, the entirety of the 2024 director fee will be paid in cash.

Fees for service on our audit committee, compensation committee, executive committee and nominating and corporate governance committee are the same for 2024 and 2023. With respect to our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $15,000, $10,000 and $10,000, respectively, for his or her participation on each such committee, except that the chairperson of each such committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $25,000, $15,000 and $15,000, respectively, for his or her participation on that committee. With respect to our executive committee, each member thereof who is not an employee of, or service provider to, our company receives an additional annual fee of $5,000 for his participation on that committee. The cash portion of the director fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As discussed below, awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2019 incentive plan) are administered by our Board of Directors or our compensation committee. 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 2019 incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to our nonemployee directors for services rendered, to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business 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, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2019 incentive plan.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2019 incentive plan is 5,000,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the respective plans. Under the 2019 incentive plan, no nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value determined on the date of grant in excess of $3 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2019 incentive plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Our Board of Directors previously had adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally required each nonemployee director to own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of their annual cash retainer fees. Nonemployee directors had five years from the nonemployee director’s initial appointment to our Board to comply with these guidelines. In December 2023, our Board of Directors eliminated these stock holding guidelines.

Proposal 2 – The Auditors Ratification Proposal

Proposal 2 – The Auditors Ratification Proposal

​

​

What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote?

​

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

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, 2024.

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

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION

The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting 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 RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL	​	​		​
​	The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal because KPMG LLP is an independent firm with few ancillary services and reasonable fees, and has significant industry and financial reporting expertise.	​

AUDIT FEES AND ALL OTHER FEES

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, in the reasonable judgment of our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is likely to result in fees in excess of $50,000, or if individual projects under $50,000 are likely to total $250,000 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. Chris Mueller 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. Under our policy, any fees incurred by Tripadvisor in connection with the provision of services by

Such approval by Tripadvisor’s audit committee pursuant to its policy is deemed to be pre-approval of the services by 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 2023 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy in place.

Audit Committee Report

Audit Committee Report

​

Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our Board of Directors, based on the listing standards of Nasdaq. Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC’s independence requirements for members of audit committees. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Mueller is an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Directors. Management has primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and for the public reporting process. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent auditor also expresses its opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated financial statements, as well as management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and KPMG LLP’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our audit committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) and the SEC, including that firm’s judgment about the quality of our accounting principles, as applied in its financial reporting.

KPMG LLP has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG LLP that firm’s independence from our company and its subsidiaries.

Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Proposal 3 – The Say-on-Pay Proposal

Proposal 3 – The Say-on-Pay Proposal

​

​

What am I being asked to vote on and how should I vote?

​

We are providing our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described below in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act. This advisory vote is often referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote and allows our stockholders to express their views on the overall compensation paid to our named executive officers. Our company values the views of its stockholders and is committed to the efficiency and effectiveness of our company’s executive compensation program.​

Our most recent advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers was held at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders on July 28, 2021 (the 2021 annual meeting), at which stockholders representing a majority of our aggregate voting power present and entitled to vote on the say-on-pay proposal voted in favor of, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation as disclosed in our proxy statement for our 2021 annual meeting. At our 2021 annual meeting, stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every three years, and our board of directors adopted this as the frequency at which future advisory votes on executive compensation would be held. Our next advisory vote on executive compensation will be held in 2027.

We are seeking stockholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which include the disclosures under “Executive Compensation—​Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables (including all related footnotes) and any additional narrative discussion of compensation included herein. Stockholders are encouraged to read the “Executive Compensation—​Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our company’s executive compensation policies and procedures and how they were applied for 2023.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder, and as a matter of good corporate governance, our Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and any related narrative discussion.”

ADVISORY VOTE

Although this vote is advisory and non-binding on our Board and our company, our Board and the compensation committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our company’s executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation policies and decisions for named executive officers.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION

This advisory resolution, which we refer to as the say-on-pay proposal, will be considered approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined 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.

​	OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL	​	​		​
​	The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the say-on-pay proposal because the compensation structure is aligned with our ultimate goal of appropriately motivating our executives to increase long-term stockholder value.	​

​

​

​

WHAT WE DO

​

​

​

​

​

WHAT WE DO NOT DO

​

​

• A significant portion of compensation is at-risk and performance-based. ​ • Performance targets for our executives support the long-term growth of our company. ​ • We have a clawback policy and clawback provisions for equity-based incentive compensation. ​

​

​

​

• Our compensation practices do not encourage excessive risk taking. ​ • We do not provide tax gross-up payments in connection with taxable income from perquisites. ​ • We do not engage in liberal share recycling. ​

​

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SERVICES AGREEMENT

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the services agreement with Liberty Media in August 2014, pursuant to which Liberty Media provides to our company certain administrative and management services, and we pay Liberty Media a monthly management fee, the amount of which is subject to quarterly review by our audit committee (and at least an annual review by our compensation committee). As a result, Liberty Media employees, including our named executive officers other than Mr. Maffei, who is paid certain compensation elements directly by our company pursuant to the amended services agreement as described below, are typically not separately compensated by our company other than with respect to equity awards with respect to our common stock and with respect to performance-based cash bonuses. See “—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation” and “—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—2023 Performance-Based Bonuses” below for information concerning equity awards granted to and performance-based cash bonuses paid to our named executive officers in 2023.

In December 2019, the services agreement was amended (the amended services agreement) in connection with Liberty Media entering into a new employment arrangement with Mr. Maffei (the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement). Under the amended services agreement, our company establishes, and pays or grants directly to Mr. Maffei, our allocable portion of his annual performance-based cash bonus, his annual equity-based awards and his Upfront Awards (as defined

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

below), and we reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of the other components of Mr. Maffei’s compensation, as described in more detail below in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Maffei Employment Agreement.” Under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei’s compensation is allocated across Liberty Media, and each of our company, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and, following its split-off from Liberty Media in July 2023, Atlanta Braves Holdings (each a Service Company, or, collectively, the Service Companies) based on two factors, each weighted 50%: (i) the relative market capitalization of each series of stock of each company and (ii) the average of (a) the percentage allocation of time for all Liberty Media employees across all companies and (b) Mr. Maffei’s percentage allocation of time across all companies, unless a different allocation method is agreed. Our allocable portion of Mr. Maffei’s compensation was 5% in 2023. The salary, certain perquisite information and other compensation elements of Mr. Maffei that were not paid or granted directly by our company included in the “Summary Compensation Table” below include the portion of his compensation allocable to our company and for which we reimbursed Liberty Media and do not include the portion of his compensation allocable to Liberty Media or any of the other Service Companies. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we accrued management fees payable to Liberty Media under the amended services agreement of $2.6 million, not including the portion of Mr. Maffei’s compensation allocable to our company and for which we reimbursed Liberty Media.

ROLE OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS; SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As a result of the management fee paid to Liberty Media, the compensation committee typically does not expect to provide compensation to the executive officers other than to Mr. Maffei pursuant to the amended services agreement and to the other executive officers with regard to equity incentive compensation and performance cash bonuses. Mr. Maffei may make recommendations with respect to any equity compensation and performance cash bonuses to be awarded to our executive officers. It is expected that Mr. Maffei, in making any related recommendations to our compensation committee, will evaluate the performance and contributions of each of our executive officers, given his or her respective area of responsibility, and, in doing so, will consider various qualitative factors such as:

•

the executive officer’s experience and overall effectiveness;

​

•

the executive officer’s performance during the preceding year;

​

•

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

​

•

the executive officer’s demonstrated leadership and management ability.

​

When determining the extent to which the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Cash Awards (each as defined below) were earned by our named executive officers, our compensation committee considered the recommendations obtained from Mr. Maffei as to the performance of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. To make these recommendations, Mr. Maffei evaluated the performance and contributions of each such named executive officer.

In December 2019, our compensation committee approved the amended services agreement, which established the terms and conditions of our allocable portion of Mr. Maffei’s compensation for the term of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Services Agreement” above.

At the 2021 annual stockholder meeting, stockholders representing a majority of the aggregate voting power of Liberty TripAdvisor present and entitled to vote on its say-on-pay proposal voted in favor of, on an advisory basis, Liberty TripAdvisor’s executive compensation, as disclosed in our proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. No material changes were implemented to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. In addition, at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every three years. At the annual meeting, we are submitting for consideration a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation. See “Proposal 3—The-Say-on-Pay Proposal.”

ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

Prior to entering into the amended services agreement with Liberty Media in connection with the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, our compensation committee engaged FW Cook, an independent and experienced compensation consultant, to assist in determining the reasonableness of compensation to be allocated to our company under the amended services agreement.

​

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In order to assess the reasonableness of compensation, FW Cook evaluated the market value of Mr. Maffei’s role at our company and the proposed allocation to our company under the service arrangement. Given the unique nature of Mr. Maffei’s role at our company, FW Cook evaluated the market value of the executive job at our company through three different lenses: as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and managing partner of a private equity firm.

In assessing the reasonableness of pay as Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board, FW Cook and the compensation committee reviewed pay data for companies comparable to ours, including companies in the online travel, real estate, insurance, media and marketplace industries, and companies with which we may compete for executive talent and stockholder investment and also included companies in those industries that are similar to our company in size, geographic location or complexity of operations. In assessing the reasonableness of pay as a managing partner of a private equity firm, FW Cook and the compensation committee reviewed survey data regarding the compensation of private equity professionals.

ELEMENTS OF 2023 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

For 2023, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

•

in the case of Mr. Maffei, base salary and perquisites and other limited personal benefits;

​

•

a performance-based bonus, payable in cash; and

​

•

performance-based restricted stock units and a performance-based cash award granted under the 2019 incentive plan.

​

BASE SALARY

Mr. Maffei’s base salary is governed by the terms of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. For 2023, Mr. Maffei’s base salary was $3,000,000, as prescribed by the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and the amended services agreement, Liberty Media pays Mr. Maffei’s base salary directly, and we reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion. In 2023, the portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual base salary allocated to our company was 5% or $150,000.

2023 PERFORMANCE-BASED BONUSES

Overview. For 2023, our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for each of Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. The 2023 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, Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband (the Corporate Performance Bonus).

Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei was assigned a target bonus opportunity under the performance-based bonus program equal to $17 million in the aggregate for Liberty Media, our company and each of Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband. That bonus amount was split among, and payable directly by, Liberty Media, our company, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband, with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee. In 2023, the portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount allocated to our company was 5% or $850,000. The portions of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount allocated to each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband pursuant to the amended services agreements was 61% (or $10,370,000), 11% (or $1,870,000) and 23% (or $3,910,000), respectively.

Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm were assigned in March 2023 a maximum bonus opportunity under the performance-based bonus program, which would be allocated to each of our company, Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband in the same percentage as the allocation for Mr. Maffei’s target bonus opportunity (the Maximum Performance Bonus). The portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to the Liberty TripAdvisor program was $1,700,000, $65,093, $119,094 and $120,273 for Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively (the LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus). The LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus amounts are up to 200% of Mr. Maffei’s target annual bonus allocated to our company under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and our company’s allocable portion of up to 200% of base pay for each of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. The portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband was $20,740,000, $3,740,000 and $7,820,000, respectively, for Mr. Maffei, $794,133, $143,204 and $299,427, respectively, for Mr. Wendling, $1,452,945, $262,007 and $547,832, respectively, for Mr. Rosenthaler and $1,467,327, $264,600 and $553,254, respectively, for Ms. Wilm.

Following the split-off of Atlanta Braves Holdings from Liberty Media in July 2023, a portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount and Messrs. Maffei’s, Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s Maximum Performance Bonus previously allocated to Liberty Media was reallocated to Atlanta Braves Holdings. Following such reallocation, the portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount allocated to each of Liberty Media and Atlanta Braves Holdings was 54% (or $9,180,000) and 7% (or $1,190,000), respectively, and the portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to each of Liberty Media and Atlanta Braves Holdings was $18,360,000 and $2,380,000, respectively, for Mr. Maffei, $703,003 and $91,130, respectively, for Mr. Wendling, $1,286,214 and $166,731, respectively, for Mr. Rosenthaler and $1,298,945 and $168,382, respectively, for Ms. Wilm. The portions of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount and Messrs. Maffei’s, Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to each of our company, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband remained the same.

Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus) equal to 60% of the LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus for that participant. The LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus was subject to

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

reduction based on a 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. Under the corollary program of Liberty Media and the corollary programs of the other Service Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies a maximum individual bonus equal to 60% of his or her Maximum Performance Bonus allocable to Liberty Media and each other Service Company, subject to reduction based on a 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 and the other Service Companies. Our compensation committee believes this construct was appropriate in light of the amended services agreement and the fact that each participant splits his or her professional time and duties.

Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LTAH Maximum Corporate Bonus) equal to 40% of his or her LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus, subject to reduction based on a determination of the consolidated corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. Under the corollary program of Liberty Media and the corollary programs of the other Service Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies a bonus that is 40% of each of Liberty Media’s and the other Service Companies’ allocable portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus, which was subject to reduction based on a determination of the consolidated corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media and the other Service Companies.

In December 2023, our compensation committee and the compensation committees of Liberty Media and each other Service Company reviewed contemporaneously our respective named executive officers’ individual performance and consolidated corporate performance under each company’s program. Notwithstanding this joint effort, our compensation committee retained sole and exclusive discretion with respect to the approval of award terms and amounts payable under our bonus program.

Individual Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee reviewed the individual performance of each participant to determine the reductions that would apply to each participant’s LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus. Our 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 to 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 each named executive officer’s LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus, the following performance objectives related to our company which had been assigned to each participant for 2023 were considered:

​	GREGORY B. MAFFEI				​
​	Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer				​
​	Performance Objectives: • Pursue new strategic alternatives and investments around core business ​ • Oversee capital allocation and manage liquidity ​	​	​	• Provide leadership and professional development opportunities to our management team ​ • Continue development of sustainability program ​	​

​	BRIAN J. WENDLING				​
​	Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer				​
​	Performance Objectives: • Ensure timely and accurate internal and external financial reports ​ • Maintain a robust control environment at the corporate and subsidiary levels ​ • Assist with evaluation of strategic alternatives ​	​	​	• Monitor and optimize capital structure and liquidity ​ • Continue to improve cyber security profile and prepare for new SEC cybersecurity rules ​	​

Corporate Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee then made a determination as to the portion, if any, that would be payable to each participant for his or her LTAH Maximum Corporate Bonus, a portion of which is attributable to consolidated financial measures of the Operating Companies (as defined below) as a group and a portion of which is attributable to corporate-level achievements. In making this determination, our compensation committee reviewed forecasts of 2023 adjusted OIBDA (as defined below), revenue and free cash flow (financial measures) for QVC, HSN, Inc., Cornerstone Brands, Inc., Sirius XM, Braves Holdings, LLC, Formula 1, GCI Holdings, LLC and proportionate shares of Live Nation, Charter and Tripadvisor (collectively, the Operating Companies), all of which forecasts were prepared in December 2023 and are set forth in the table below. Also set forth in the table below are the corresponding actual financial measures achieved for 2023, which deviated from our forecasts as indicated below. Although forecasted revenue, adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow deviated from the actual result, none of the deviations would have materially affected the amounts paid under the corporate performance bonus portion of the program.

For purposes of the bonus program, adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, transaction related costs (including acquisition, restructuring, integration, and advisory fees), impairments and fire related costs. Sirius XM, Live Nation, Charter, and Tripadvisor do not report adjusted OIBDA information. As a result, in order to determine their financial results, we used the most similar non-GAAP measures reported by each of these companies. We used adjusted EBITDA as reported by Sirius XM, Charter, and Tripadvisor and adjusted Operating Income, or AOI, as reported by Live Nation. For a definition of adjusted EBITDA as defined by Sirius XM, see Sirius XM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on February 1, 2024. For a definition of adjusted EBITDA as defined by Charter, see Charter’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on February 2, 2024.

​

Based on a review of the above forecasts and consideration of Operating Company performance against plan for these financial measures by the compensation committees of our company, Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband, the compensation committees determined that the financial measures relating to the Operating Companies were achieved to the extent described below:

​	Financial Measure	​	​	Percentage Payable	​
​	Revenue(1)	​	​	7% of a possible 10%	​
​	Adjusted OIBDA(1)	​	​	6% of a possible 10%	​
​	Free Cash Flow(1)(2)	​	​	7% of a possible 10%	​

Percentage payable was based on 2023 forecasted financial measures compared to 2023 budgeted financial measures, with a 7% possible payout if forecasted financial measures equaled budgeted financial measures, and a payout range of 0% to 10% if forecasted financial measures were less than or greater than budgeted financial measures. Our compensation committee then translated the achievement of these financial measures into a percentage payable (20% of a possible 30%, or 67%) to each participant of his or her LTAH Maximum Corporate Bonus related to financial measures, as follows:

In December 2023, our compensation committee considered combined corporate-level achievements for our company, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies in determining that 9% of a possible 10% of a portion of the LTAH Maximum Corporate Bonus would be payable to each participant. In making this determination, the compensation committee considered merger and acquisition activity, investments, financings, sustainability initiatives, SEC/audit compliance, litigation management and tax compliance.

Our compensation committee then noted that, when combined with the total 2023 performance-based bonus amounts paid by Liberty Media and the other Service Companies to the overlapping named executive officers, Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm received $26,090,750, $1,012,195, $1,851,911 and $2,050,650, respectively. For more information regarding these bonus awards, please see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below.

EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The 2019 incentive plan provides for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, RSUs, SARs, cash awards and performance awards. Subject to share availability considerations, our compensation committee has a preference for grants of stock options and awards of restricted stock or RSUs (as compared with other types of available awards under the 2019 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, typically measured by reference to the closing price on the grant date.

As discussed above, our executive officers perform management services for our company pursuant to the amended services agreement. In consultation with the compensation committees of each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies (except for the compensation committee of Atlanta Braves Holdings because such decisions were made prior to its split-off from Liberty Media), our compensation committee determined that each of our company, Liberty Media and the other Service Companies (except for Atlanta Braves Holdings for the reason described above) would grant a proportionate share of the aggregate equity grant value to each named executive officer each year for their service to our company and each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. With respect to awards made to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, the proportionate share for each company was determined based 50% on the relative market capitalization and 50% on relative time spent by Liberty Media’s employees working for such issuer. With respect to awards made to Mr. Maffei, the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity award value will be granted across Liberty Media and the Service Companies by Liberty Media’s compensation committee, our compensation committee and the compensation committees of each other Service Company based on two factors, each weighted 50%: (i) the relative market capitalization of each series of stock of each company and (ii) the average of (a) the percentage allocation of time for all Liberty Media employees across all companies and (b) Mr. Maffei’s percentage allocation of time across all companies, unless a different allocation method is agreed.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Annual Equity Awards.

Maffei Annual Equity Awards. The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides Mr. Maffei with the opportunity to earn equity awards during the employment term. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—​Annual Awards” for additional information about the annual awards provided under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement.

When structuring the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, to further align Mr. Maffei’s interests with those of the other stockholders, the compensation committee structured his annual equity award grants as either option awards or performance-based restricted stock units with meaningful payout metrics determined annually. This structure was designed to provide for alignment of interests with our company’s stockholders and flexibility to the compensation committee to incent achievement of strategic objectives that may change or evolve over the term of the agreement.

The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provided that Mr. Maffei was entitled to receive from our company, Liberty Media and the other Service Companies in 2023 (except for Atlanta Braves Holdings, because such grant occurred prior to its split-off from Liberty Media) a combined target equity award value of $17.5 million comprised of time-vested stock options, performance-based restricted stock units or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election.

In 2023, our compensation committee granted performance-based RSUs and, due to share considerations under the 2019 incentive plan, a cash award, to Mr. Maffei in satisfaction of our obligations under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement for 5% of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity award for 2023, or $875,000. Our compensation committee believed that Mr. Maffei’s RSU grant and cash award should be subject to performance metrics that incentivize and reward Mr. Maffei for successful completion of our company’s strategic initiatives. As a result, our compensation committee granted to Mr. Maffei 175,000 performance-based RSUs with respect to LTRPB shares (the 2023 Maffei RSUs) and a $656,250 performance-based cash award (the 2023 Maffei Cash Award), in each case under the 2019 incentive plan, on March 9, 2023, which would vest only upon attainment of the performance objectives described below.

Our compensation committee reviewed the financial performance of our company along with the personal performance of Mr. Maffei. Based on the compensation committee’s assessment of his individual performance against the goals established in connection with the performance cash bonus program and general observation of his leadership and executive performance, our compensation committee approved vesting of all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs and the full vesting of the 2023 Maffei Cash Award, in each case, previously granted to Mr. Maffei.

For more information regarding Mr. Maffei’s equity awards as provided in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below and “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—​Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Liberty Media’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders; “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Qurate Retail’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders; and “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Liberty Broadband’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Chief Performance-based RSU and Cash Awards. Our compensation committee granted 5,699, 10,294 and 10,294 LTRPA annual performance-based RSUs to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively, on March 9, 2023 (the 2023 Chief RSUs). Additionally on March 9, 2023, due to share considerations under the 2019 incentive plan, our compensation committee also granted a $20,344, $36,750 and $36,750 performance-based cash award to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively (the 2023 Chief Cash Awards). The 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards were granted under the 2019 incentive plan and would vest subject to the satisfaction of performance objectives described below.

Our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based program for payment of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards and reviewed each named executive officer’s performance against that performance program to determine which portion of the award would be paid. Our compensation committee reviewed the 2023 personal performance of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm and considered the recommendations from Mr. Maffei. Mr. Maffei recommended that our committee vest 100% of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 100% of the 2023 Chief Cash Awards based on his assessment of their individual performance against the goals established in connection with the performance cash bonus program and his general observation of their leadership and executive performance.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

compensation committee approved vesting in full of the 2023 Chief RSUs and vesting in full of the 2023 Chief Cash Awards previously granted to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm.

Multiyear Equity Awards.

Our compensation committee makes larger stock option grants (equaling approximately three to four years’ value of the named executive officer’s annual grants) that vest between two and four years after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These multiyear grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and generally expire seven years after grant to encourage executives to remain with our company over the long-term and to better align their interests with those of the stockholders. Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm each received a multiyear stock option award in December 2020, which equaled the value of, for Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler, the annual grants that were expected to be granted to each for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, and for Ms. Wilm, a top up in value over grants already made for the same period to reflect the increased responsibilities associated with her new role beginning in 2021 of Chief Administrative Officer. One-half of each named executive officer’s options vested on each of December 7, 2022 and December 7, 2023. See the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal-Year End” table below for more information about the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options.

Due to share availability considerations, our company did not make subsequent multiyear stock option grants in 2023.

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) consist of:

•

limited personal use of Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft (pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between our company and Liberty Media); and

​

•

occasional, personal use of Liberty Media’s apartment in New York City (pursuant to a sharing arrangement between our company and Liberty Media), which is primarily used for business purposes, and occasional, personal use of a company car and driver.

​

Taxable income may be incurred by our executives in connection with their receipt of perquisites and personal benefits. 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 appropriate approvals, executives may have family members and other guests accompany them on Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft when traveling on business.

Pursuant to a February 5, 2013 letter agreement between Liberty Media 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 with Liberty Media, 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. During 2023, pursuant to November 11, 2015 and December 13, 2019 letter agreements between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was entitled to 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time if he reimbursed Liberty Media for such usage through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment with Liberty Media or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. If Mr. Maffei’s employment is terminated due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to continued use of the corporate aircraft for 12 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 under the February 5, 2013 letter agreement. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income at the SIFL rates minus amounts paid under time sharing agreements with Liberty Media for travel. 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.

For disclosure purposes, Liberty Media determines the aggregate incremental cost to Liberty Media of the executives’ personal flights by using a method that takes into account all operating costs related to such flights, including:

•

landing and parking expenses;

​

​

LIBERTY TRIPADVISOR HOLDINGS, INC. / 47

​

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

•

crew travel expenses;

​

•

supplies and catering;

​

•

aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight;

​

•

aircraft maintenance and upkeep;

​

•

any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; and

​

•

passenger ground transportation.

​

Because Liberty Media’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, and purchase or lease costs of aircraft.

Pursuant to the amended services agreement, we pay Liberty Media for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft for our company’s business matters along with the approved personal use of Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft that are allocable to our company under the amended services agreement. Pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was responsible for reimbursing Liberty Media for costs associated with his 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time and such costs include the expenses listed above, insurance obtained for the specific flight and an additional charge equal to 100% of the aircraft fuel and oil expenses for the specific flight.

For purposes of determining an executive’s taxable income, personal use of Liberty Media’s 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 that may be deducted for U.S. federal income tax purposes 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.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In developing the 2023 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 deduction of compensation of more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. Following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, beginning with the 2018 calendar year, the executives potentially affected by the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code have been expanded and there is no longer any exception for qualified performance-based compensation. Therefore, portions of the compensation we pay to the named executive officers may not be deductible due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code. Our compensation committee believes that the lost deduction on compensation payable in excess of the $1 million limitation for the named executive officers is not material relative to the benefit of being able to attract and retain talented management.

RECOUPMENT PROVISIONS

In August 2023, the Board of Directors approved a policy for the recovery of erroneously awarded compensation, or “clawback” policy, applicable to executive officers. The policy implements the incentive-based compensation recovery provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 as required under the Nasdaq listing standards (although the Company began quotation on The OTC Markets in October 2023), and requires recovery of incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers during the three fiscal years preceding the date it is determined that our company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, including to correct an error that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The amount required to be recovered is the excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation received over the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial measure. In addition, our company has maintained its recoupment provisions whereby our company may require an executive to repay or return to our company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or SARs). 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

​

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

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. Under these recoupment provisions, 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, and 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. Additionally, beginning in December 2020, we began including in new forms of equity-based award agreements a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to our company, upon a reasonable determination by our compensation committee that the executive breached the confidentiality obligations included in the agreement, all or any portion of the outstanding award, any shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach and any proceeds from the disposition of shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES AND HEDGING POLICIES

Our Board of Directors previously had adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally required our executive officers to own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of the annual performance RSUs granted by our company to such executive officer, with the required ownership level automatically adjusted following these annual grants. Our executive officers generally had five years from the date of their appointment to an executive officer role to comply with these guidelines. In December 2023, our Board of Directors eliminated these stock holding guidelines. For information regarding our policies with respect to the ability of our officers and directors to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our equity securities, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management—​Hedging Disclosure.”

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The compensation committee members whose names appear on the Compensation Committee Report below comprised the compensation committee during 2023. No member of our compensation committee during 2023 is or has been an officer or employee of our company or has engaged in any related party transaction in which our company was a participant.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed with our management the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” included under “Executive Compensation” above. Based on such review and discussions, the compensation committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this proxy statement.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

GREGORY B. MAFFEI

2019 Maffei Employment Agreement

Liberty Media entered into the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement with Mr. Maffei, effective December 13, 2019. The arrangement provides for a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2024, with an annual base salary of $3 million (with no contracted increase) and a one-time cash commitment bonus of $5 million, an annual target cash performance bonus equal to $17 million (with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee with respect to its allocable portion), upfront awards (with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million to be granted in two equal tranches) and annual equity awards with an aggregate target grant date fair value of $17.5 million.

Maffei Term Equity Awards

Also, on December 13, 2019, in connection with the execution of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei became entitled to receive term equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million (the Upfront Awards) to be granted in two equal tranches. The first tranche of the Upfront Awards was granted in December 2019 and consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from our company that vested, in the case of the stock options, on December 31, 2023 and, in the case of the restricted stock units on December 15, 2023. Our portion of the Upfront Awards granted in December 2019 had an aggregate grant date fair value of $2,250,000 and consisted of 320,057 LTRPB RSUs.

The second tranche of the Upfront Awards was granted in December 2020 and consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from our company. The stock options will vest on December 31, 2024 and the restricted stock units will vest on December 7, 2024, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei’s continued employment, except as described below. Our portion of the Upfront Awards granted in December 2020 had an aggregate grant date fair value of $2,700,000 and consisted of 1,000,000 LTRPB RSUs (the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs).

Annual Awards

Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, the aggregate grant date fair value of Mr. Maffei’s annual equity awards is $17.5 million for each year during the term of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and is comprised of awards of time-vested stock options (the Annual Options), performance-based restricted stock units (Annual Performance RSUs) or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election, allocable across Liberty Media and each of the Service Companies (collectively, the Annual Awards). Vesting of any Annual Performance RSUs will be subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics to be approved by our compensation committee and the compensation committee of Liberty Media or the applicable other Service Company with respect to its allocable portion of the Annual Performance RSUs. For a description of Mr. Maffei’s Annual Awards, see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards.”

Mr. Maffei will be entitled to the following payments and benefits from Liberty Media (with Liberty Media being reimbursed by our company for its allocated portion of the severance benefits pursuant to the amended services agreement) if his employment is terminated at Liberty Media under the circumstances described below, subject to the execution of releases by Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei in a form to be mutually agreed. The following discussion also summarizes the termination payments and benefits that Mr. Maffei would be entitled to if his services are terminated at our company under the scenarios described below.

Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei’s employment is terminated by Liberty Media without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Maffei terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), he is entitled to the following: (i) his accrued base salary, any accrued but unpaid bonus for the prior completed year, any unpaid expense reimbursements and any amounts due under applicable law; (ii) subject to the execution of a mutual release, (A) a severance payment of

If Mr. Maffei’s services at our company are terminated by us without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to full vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs and the Annual Awards granted by us for the year of his termination, and if Mr. Maffei remains employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company, he will also be entitled to payment of our allocated portion of the annual cash performance bonus for the year, prorated for the portion of the calendar year in which Mr. Maffei served as an officer of our company. Other than as described above, no severance benefits will be due to Mr. Maffei if he remains employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company.

Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. In the event of Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, he will be entitled to the same payments and benefits as if his services had been terminated without cause or for good reason as described above in “—Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason.”

For Cause Termination at our Company. In the event Mr. Maffei’s services to our company are terminated by us for cause, he will forfeit the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs, and if the termination for cause occurs before the close of business on December 31 of the relevant grant year, Mr. Maffei will forfeit our allocated portion of the annual cash performance bonus and the portion of his Annual Awards granted by our company for that grant year. If Mr. Maffei’s services are terminated by our company for cause after the close of business on December 31 of the relevant grant year, but prior to the date on which our compensation committee certifies achievement of the performance metric for any outstanding Annual Performance RSUs granted by our company for the grant year, the award will remain outstanding until such date and will vest to the extent determined by our compensation committee.

Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei voluntarily terminates the services he provides to us without good reason, he will be entitled to pro rata vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs (based on the number of days that have elapsed over the four-year vesting period). He will also be entitled to pro rata vesting of his Annual Awards for the year of termination granted by us (based on the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination) and a pro rata payment of our allocated portion of his annual cash performance bonus of $17 million (based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination). Any Annual Performance RSUs granted by our company for the year of termination that are unvested on the date of termination will remain outstanding until the performance criteria is determined and will vest pro rata (based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination) to the extent determined by our compensation committee (at a level not less than 100% of the target award). Other than as described above, no severance benefits will be due to Mr. Maffei if he remains employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to us. If Mr. Maffei also voluntarily terminates his employment with Liberty Media, rather than being entitled to payment of our allocated portion of his annual cash bonus, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to receive a payment from Liberty Media equal to $17 million, prorated based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination. Our company would reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of this payment.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The 2019 incentive plan is designed, and prior to its expiration, the Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (amended and restated March 11, 2015), as amended (the 2014 incentive plan), was designed, to provide

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors and employees of Liberty Media or Qurate Retail providing services to us and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. Non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing may be granted under the 2019 incentive plan (collectively, as used in this description of the 2019 incentive plan, awards). The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 5,000,000 shares, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2019 incentive plan. No nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $3 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company, including shares purchased on the open market. The 2019 incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee with regard to all awards granted under the 2019 incentive plan (other than awards granted to the nonemployee directors which may be administered by our full Board of Directors or the compensation committee), and the compensation committee has full power and authority to determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The 2019 incentive plan has a five-year term and is the only incentive plan under which awards will be made.

PAY RATIO INFORMATION

We are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the total compensation of Mr. Maffei, our chief executive officer on December 31, 2023, pursuant to the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We believe our pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules. However, because these rules provide flexibility in determining the methodology, assumptions and estimates used to determine pay ratios and the fact that workforce composition issues differ significantly between companies, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies.

To identify our median employee, we first determined our employee population as of December 31, 2023, which consisted of employees located in the U.S., Europe and throughout the rest of the world, representing all full-time, part-time and temporary employees, including hourly employees, employed by our company and our consolidated subsidiary, Tripadvisor, on that date. Using information from our payroll records, we then measured each employee’s annual total compensation for calendar year 2023, consisting of annualized base salary, short-term bonus at target and annual long-term equity incentive award at target. Tripadvisor annualized the compensation of approximately 498 full-time and part-time employees who were hired in 2023 but who did not work for the entire fiscal year. The earnings of Tripadvisor’s employees outside the U.S. were converted to U.S. dollars using the currency exchange rates used for Tripadvisor’s organizational planning purposes, which consider historic and forecasted rates as well as other factors. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments.

Once we identified our median employee, we then determined that employee’s total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determined the total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table above. The ratio of our chief executive officer’s total annual compensation to that of the median employee was as follows:

​	Chief Executive Officer Total Annual Compensation	​	​	​	$	2,372,259	​	​
​	Median Employee Total Annual Compensation	​	​	​	$	94,393	​	​
​	Ratio of Chief Executive Officer to Median Employee Total Annual Compensation	​	​	​	​	25:1	​	​

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

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, 2023, which was the last day of our last completed fiscal year. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei’s employment had terminated at each of Liberty Media, Liberty TripAdvisor and the other Service Companies. 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 table are based on the closing market prices on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day in 2023) for our Series A common stock and Series B common stock, which were $0.85 and $9.30, respectively. For any option awards held by the named executive officers that had an exercise price that was more than the closing market price of our Series A common stock or Series B common stock, as applicable, on December 29, 2023, the value of such option awards has been excluded from the table below. For all other option awards, the value of the options shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise price of the award and the applicable closing market price. The value of the RSUs shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of unvested RSUs that would have vested in the applicable termination scenario according to the terms of the applicable award.

Each of our named executive officers has received awards and payments under our incentive plans. Additionally, Mr. Maffei is entitled to certain payments and acceleration rights upon termination under his employment agreement.

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—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits,” which are incorporated by reference herein):

VOLUNTARY TERMINATION

Each of the named executive officers holds 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 or her employment with our company for any reason, each named executive officer would typically only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his or her termination date. However, if Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason, (i) his 2020 Maffei Term RSUs would have been subject to pro rata vesting (based on the number of days elapsed during the four-year vesting period) and, (ii) assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Mr. Maffei would have been entitled to certain other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment without good reason with our company as of December 31, 2023. The type and amount of severance pay and benefits Mr. Maffei would receive would depend on whether he remained employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company or whether his employment with Liberty Media was also voluntarily terminated. These additional severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—​Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason” above. Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm are not entitled to any severance payments or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his or her employment.

TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

All outstanding equity grants constituting options, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, all equity grants constituting unvested RSUs and all cash awards under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer who is terminated for “cause” ​(other than Mr. Maffei in the case of equity grants constituting vested options or similar rights). However, if Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated for cause after the close of business on December 31, 2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, each of the 2014 incentive plan and the 2019 incentive plan defines “cause” as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

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. With respect to Mr. Maffei’s equity grants and the 2023 Maffei Cash Award, including the stock options granted to him in 2014, “cause,” as defined in the applicable award agreement, means (i) Mr. Maffei’s willful failure to follow the lawful instructions of the Board of Directors of our company; (ii) the commission by Mr. Maffei of any fraud, misappropriation or misconduct that causes demonstrable material injury to our company or its subsidiaries; (iii) Mr. Maffei’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; or (iv) Mr. Maffei’s failure to comply in any material respect with any written agreement between him and our company or any of our subsidiaries if such failure causes demonstrable material injury to our company or any of our subsidiaries, except that Mr. Maffei is entitled to certain procedural and cure rights relating to a termination for cause, except in the case of a termination for cause based on a felony conviction. Mr. Maffei has certain continuing rights to exercise vested options or similar rights following a termination for cause under his equity award agreements. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—For Cause Termination at our Company” above.

TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR GOOD REASON

As of December 31, 2023, Mr. Maffei’s unvested equity awards consisted of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs, the 2023 Maffei RSUs and the 2023 Maffei Cash Award. Upon a termination of his employment by our company without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs would have vested and, assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Mr. Maffei would also be entitled to severance pay and benefits from our company upon a termination without cause or by him for good reason. The type and amount of severance pay and benefits Mr. Maffei would receive would depend on whether he remained employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company or whether his employment with Liberty Media was also terminated without cause or for good reason. These additional severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination at our Company by our Company without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason.”

As of December 31, 2023, Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s unvested awards were their 2023 Chief RSUs and their 2023 Chief Cash Awards. Upon a termination without cause as of December 31, 2023, the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Cash Awards held by these officers would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. None of Messrs. Wendling or Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm 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 incentive plans and applicable award agreements would have provided for vesting of any outstanding options and cash awards and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards (except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s death occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee). Mr. Maffei is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits if he dies while employed by our company. These additional severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—​Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Reason of Death or Disability.” None of the other named executive officers would have been entitled to any severance pay or other benefits from our company if he or she had died while employed by our company, assuming a termination date as of December 31, 2023.

DISABILITY

If the employment of any of the named executive officers had been terminated due to disability, which is defined in the incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements provide for vesting of any outstanding options and cash awards and the lapse of restrictions on any unvested RSU awards (except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s

termination due to disability occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee). Mr. Maffei is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment due to disability. These additional severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—​Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Reason of Death or Disability.” None of the other named executive officers would have been entitled to any severance pay or other benefits from our company upon a termination due to disability, assuming a termination date as of December 31, 2023.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting of any outstanding options and cash awards and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU (other than, in the case of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs) held by the named executive officers. A change in control is generally defined as:

•

The acquisition by a non-exempt person (as defined in the incentive plans) of beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of our company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, other than pursuant to a transaction approved by our Board of Directors.

​

•

The individuals constituting our Board of Directors over any two consecutive years cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the Board to approve new members by approval of at least two-thirds of the remaining directors.

​

•

Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes the persons who were common stockholders of our company immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, the sale of substantially all of the assets of our company or the dissolution of our company.

​

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. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that our named executive officers’ existing unvested equity awards (other than the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs) would vest in the case of a change in control described in the last bullet. A change in control (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) of our company would provide Mr. Maffei with a short time period during which to exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason, which would result in vesting of his 2020 Maffei Term RSUs. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason in connection with a change in control of our company.

If Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason at Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) as of December 31, 2023, subject to execution of a mutual release, he would have been entitled to receive in a lump sum $17 million, prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within the year of termination, with up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—​Termination Payments and Benefits—Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason” above. The amount in the table includes our allocable portion of this payment (5%) for which we would reimburse Liberty Media.

If Mr. Maffei’s employment at Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies had been terminated as of December 31, 2023 by Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) (whether before or within a specific period following a change in control), in each case, subject to execution of a mutual release, or due to Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, he would have been entitled to receive (i) a payment of two times his 2023 base salary payable in 24 equal monthly installments, (ii) fully vested shares of common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $35 million, (iii) a lump sum payment of an amount equal to two times his average annual bonus paid for the two calendar years prior to separation, but in no event an amount that is less than two times his aggregate target bonus of $17 million and (iv) a lump sum cash payment equal to the greater of (x) $17 million or (y) the annual cash performance bonus otherwise payable for the year of termination, in each case, prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within the year of termination, with up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason” above. The amount in the table includes our allocable portion of this payment (5%) for which we would reimburse Liberty Media. The amount in the table does not include the lump sum cash payment described in (iv) because Mr. Maffei had already been paid his 2023 cash bonus prior to December 31, 2023.

Assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee.

Based on the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 for which the exercise price thereof is less than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), the number of 2020 Maffei Term RSUs, 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award. As described above, our compensation committee vested Mr. Maffei at 100% of 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award, which is reflected in the table above. A change in control (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) of our company would provide Mr. Maffei with a short time period during which to exercise his rights to terminate his employment for good reason, which would result in vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs. For purposes of the tabular presentation above, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason in connection with a change in control of our company. Because the exercise price of the vested stock options granted to Mr. Maffei in 2019 is more than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been included for these awards in the table.

​

(7)

If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated at our company’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, 2023, he would have been entitled to receive (i) personal use of the corporate aircraft for 120 hours per year, (ii) information technology support from our Company, as reasonably requested by Mr. Maffei, and (iii) continuation of such other perquisites as Mr. Maffei was entitled to receive prior to such termination, in each case, over a 12-month period. The maximum potential cost of using the corporate aircraft for 120 hours based on an hourly average of the incremental cost of use of the corporate aircraft is $922,496. The amount in the table includes our allocable portion of this payment (5%) for which we would reimburse Liberty Media.

Each of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm would have forfeited all of his or her 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards if his or her employment had been terminated by him or her or by our company for cause as of December 31, 2023. Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options would remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance with their terms in the event each of Messrs. Wendling or Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm terminated his or her employment as of December 31, 2023, however, because the exercise prices of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options are more than the closing market price of LTRPA shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been included for these awards in the table. If each of Messrs. Wendling or Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm was terminated by our company for “cause” as of December 31, 2023, all of his or her outstanding option grants would have been forfeited.

Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm and (ii) the number of unvested RSUs and unvested cash awards held by the named executive officer as of December 31, 2023 that would have vested pursuant to the following: If Messrs. Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated without cause as of December 31, 2023, their 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash awards would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee.

Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Chief Performance-based RSU Awards,” our compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards, which is reflected in the table above. Because the exercise prices of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options are more than the closing market price of LTRPA shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been included for these awards in the table.

Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated due to death or disability as of December 31, 2023, all of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards would have vested.

Upon a change of control, we have assumed for purposes of the tabular presentation above that all of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards would have vested. The table includes the value of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options, however, because the exercise prices of the vested options are more than the closing market price of LTRPA shares on December 29, 2023, no value has been included for these awards in the table.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

This section provides information about the relationship between compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers and certain financial performance measures of our Company. For purposes of this section, the amount of compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers is determined using the valuation methods prescribed by the SEC in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Although the rules describe such amount as compensation actually paid, these amounts are not reflective of the taxable compensation actually paid to our named executive officers in a covered year. As described in more detail below, to determine the amount of compensation actually paid in a covered year, Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K requires that in each covered year we (1) deduct the grant date value of equity awards reported in the Stock Awards or Option Awards columns in the Summary Compensation Table from the Total column in the Summary Compensation Table; (2) add, for awards granted in the covered year, the fair value of the equity awards (i) as of the end of a covered year or (ii) as of the vesting date, as applicable; and (3) add or subtract, for awards granted in, and outstanding at the end of, a prior year (i) the change in the fair value from the end of the prior year to the end of the current year or (ii) from the end of the prior year to the date the awards vest in the covered year, as applicable.

(a)

Reflects, for Mr. Maffei, the applicable amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table and for the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the applicable amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table in each of the fiscal years indicated.

​

(b)

The adjustments made to the fair value of equity awards in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K do not include adjustments for dividends paid or the fair value of equity awards received in lieu of cash compensation foregone at a named executive officer’s election where such amounts are reported in the Salary, Bonus or All Other Compensation columns of the Summary Compensation Table in accordance with SEC guidance. Amounts with respect to our performance-based awards have been revised from those provided in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders in accordance with SEC guidance released in September 2023 to reflect that vesting occurred as of the last day of the performance year (which is the last day the NEOs were required to provide services to receive the awards) instead of the date our compensation committee certified the level at which the performance goals were achieved.

​

(c)

Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the fair value and, with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the fair values, as of the end of the covered fiscal year of awards granted in, and remaining outstanding and unvested (in whole or in part) as of the end of, the covered fiscal year.

​

(d)

Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the change in fair value, and with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the change in fair values, from the end of the prior fiscal year to the end of the covered fiscal year of awards granted in prior fiscal years that remained outstanding and unvested (in whole or in part) as of the end of the covered fiscal year.

​

(e)

Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the fair value, and with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the fair values, as of the day awards became vested in the covered fiscal year, when such awards were also granted in the covered fiscal year.

​

(f)

Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the change in fair value, and with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the change in fair values, from the end of the prior fiscal year to the day awards became vested in the covered fiscal year, when such awards were granted in a prior fiscal year.

For each covered fiscal year, represents the cumulative total stockholder return on an initial fixed $100 investment in each of our Series A and Series B common stock (Nasdaq or OTC Markets, as applicable: LTRPA and LTRPB) from December 31, 2019 through December 31 of each covered fiscal year.

​

(5)

For each covered fiscal year, represents the cumulative total stockholder return on an initial fixed $100 investment in the S&P 500 Hotels, Restaurants, and Leisure Index from December 31, 2019 through December 31 of each covered fiscal year. The S&P 500 Hotels, Restaurants, and Leisure Index was selected as the peer group for purposes of this disclosure because it contains peer companies to Tripadvisor, which is one of our operating companies, the financial performance of which factors into compensation paid to Mr. Maffei and the non-PEO NEOs.

Upon adoption of the 2019 incentive plan, the Board of Directors ceased making any further grants under the 2014 incentive plan. The amounts reported for the 2014 incentive plan reflect the number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options and the weighted average exercise price thereof.

​

(2)

The 2019 incentive plan permits grants of, or with respect to, shares of any series of our common stock. The amounts reported for the 2019 incentive plan reflect 870,651 shares of LTRPA and 572,665 shares of LTRPB to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options and 35,509 shares of LTPRA and 1,175,000 shares of LTRPB to be issued upon the settlement of restricted stock units. For restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting requirements, such amounts vested at 100 percent of target performance and therefore are reflected as such in the above table. As described in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—​Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs, but had 150 percent of the 2023 Maffei RSUs vested, 262,500 shares of LTRPB would have been issuable upon the settlement of restricted stock units. The weighted average exercise prices do not take into account restricted stock units, which by their nature do not have an exercise price.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the ownership by each of our directors and named executive officers (as defined herein) and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group of shares of (1) LTRPA, LTRPB and LTRPP and (2) the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (TRIP), of our consolidated subsidiary Tripadvisor. None of our directors or named executive officers own shares of Tripadvisor’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (Tripadvisor Class B). Unless otherwise indicated, the security ownership information with respect to our capital stock is given as of February 29, 2024 and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon 73,066,321 LTRPA shares, 4,057,532 LTRPB shares and 187,414 LTRPP shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. Unless otherwise indicated, the security ownership information with respect to Tripadvisor is given as of February 29, 2024 and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based on 125,099,694 TRIP shares and 12,799,999 Tripadvisor Class B shares, in each case, outstanding on February 9, 2024. The percentage voting power for Liberty TripAdvisor is presented on an aggregate basis for all LTRPA and LTRPB shares. LTRPP shares are, however, non-voting and, therefore, in the case of percentage voting power, are not included. The percentage voting power for TRIP is presented on an aggregate basis for all series of TRIP common stock.

Shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after February 29, 2024 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 LTRPB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of LTRPA, are reported as beneficial ownership of LTRPB only, and not as beneficial ownership of LTRPA. 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.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

HEDGING DISCLOSURE

We do not have any practices or policies regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or directors, or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

We know of no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of 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.

Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms filed with the SEC and written representations made to us by our executive officers and directors, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2023, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were met, with the exception of one Form 4 by Albert E. Rosenthaler reporting one transaction and one Form 4 by Renee L. Wilm reporting one transaction.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

​

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed “related party transaction” ​(as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated by our Board to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our company without the approval of the audit committee of our Board or another independent body of our Board designated to address such actual or potential conflicts.

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

On March 26, 2020, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, among our company, Certares Holdings LLC (Certares Holdings), Certares Holdings (Blockable) LLC (Certares Blockable) and Certares Holdings (Optional) LLC (Certares Optional) (collectively, Assignor) and solely for the purposes of certain provisions specified therein, Gregory B. Maffei, as assigned pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2020, by and among the Assignor and Certares LTRIP (the Purchaser, and together with Assignor, Certares), we issued and sold to the Purchaser 325,000 shares of LTRPP, for a purchase price of $1,000 per share. Effective as of March 29, 2021, the Stock Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2021 (the Repurchase Agreement) between our company and the Purchaser, among other things, amended certain terms of the Investment Agreement. For more information regarding such amended terms of the Investment Agreement, see “—Stock Repurchase Agreement.”

The Investment Agreement contains certain covenants of our company and Certares, including, among other things, a covenant that, subject to certain exceptions including those set forth in the Repurchase Agreement and described below, Certares will not transfer, or agree to transfer, any of its shares of LTRPP.

Board Matters. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, for so long as at least 25% of the original aggregate liquidation value of the LTRPP shares remains outstanding (the Threshold Amount), the holders of a majority of the LTRPP shares may appoint one director (the Series A Preferred Threshold Director) to our Board of Directors. Upon the closing of the transactions pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Mr. M. Gregory O’Hara, Founder and Senior Managing Director of Certares Management LLC, was appointed as the Series A Preferred Threshold Director and Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, effective as of March 29, 2021, Mr. O’Hara resigned as the Series A Preferred Threshold Director and the Purchaser permanently waived its right to appoint the Series A Preferred Threshold Director. As a condition to the transfer of any LTRPP shares, the transferee must agree to such waiver. In January 2023, Mr. O’Hara resigned from our Board of Directors. For more information regarding Board matters with respect to the Repurchase Agreement, see “—Stock Repurchase Agreement—Matters Relating to the Board.”

Consent Rights. For so long as the Threshold Amount remains outstanding, we will not pay any dividends on or repurchase shares of our common stock without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the LTRPP shares (subject to certain exceptions). In addition, for so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns a number of shares of LTRPP with an aggregate liquidation value at least equal to the Threshold Amount, we are required to obtain the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the LTRPP shares prior to incurring certain indebtedness, issuing any stock which ranks on a parity basis with or senior to the LTRPP shares, issuing LTRPB shares, subject to certain exceptions, entering into certain affiliate transactions and transferring shares of Tripadvisor Class B and TRIP.

Sales Process. If our Board of Directors approves the initiation of a sale process to effect a change in control of itself or the entry into negotiations with a third party for a change in control, and, at such time, the Purchaser beneficially owns a number of shares of LTRPP with an aggregate liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold Amount, the Investment Agreement requires us to provide notice of such intent to the Purchaser, designate a nationally recognized investment bank to act as financial advisor, and provide the Purchaser the opportunity to participate as a potential buyer. In addition, if the Purchaser owns a number of shares of LTRPP with an aggregate liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold Amount, subject to certain exceptions, the Purchaser is entitled to certain rights to match offers consisting of at least 90% of cash consideration to acquire our company or LTRPB shares owned by Mr. Maffei, as the case may be.

Consultation. For so long as the Purchaser owns shares of LTRPP having a liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser is entitled to certain consultation rights with our company with respect to any matter on which we vote our shares of Tripadvisor equity and with Mr. Maffei with respect to any matter on which he votes his LTRPB shares.

Tripadvisor Board. The Investment Agreement also required our company, upon closing, to nominate an individual designated by the Purchaser to the Board of Directors of Tripadvisor for so long as (i) the Purchaser beneficially owns a number of shares with an aggregate liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold Amount and (ii) we have a right to nominate at least two directors to Tripadvisor’s board of directors under the Tripadvisor Governance Agreement. On March 27, 2020, Mr. O’Hara was appointed to the board of directors of Tripadvisor.

The description of the Investment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Investment Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC March 16, 2020.

STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

No repurchases of LTRPP shares were made under the Repurchase Agreement or otherwise in 2023. We have outstanding 187,414 LTRPP shares.

The Repurchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. In addition, the Repurchase Agreement provides as follows:

Permanent Waiver of Put Right. The Purchaser permanently waived its put right with respect to our LTRPP shares contained in the Certificate of Designations (the Put Right).

Liberty TripAdvisor Call Right. We have the option, from time to time commencing on March 27, 2024, to call and repurchase (the Optional Repurchase Right) any and all of the outstanding LTRPP shares at the Optional Repurchase Price (as such term is defined in the Repurchase Agreement).

Restriction on Transfer of LTRPP Shares. Subject to exceptions contained in the Investment Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement, the LTRPP shares generally are non-transferable; provided that we have agreed not to unreasonably withhold our consent to certain transfers of up to 49% of the remaining LTRPP shares outstanding following the completion of the repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement (so long as there are no more than six holders of the LTRPP shares at any one time). Any transferee of LTRPP shares must agree to the permanent waiver of the Put Right, the permanent waiver of the right to appoint the Series A Preferred Threshold Director (as described below) and to the Optional Repurchase Right.

Lock-up on TRIP. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, and subject to the limited exceptions described therein, the Purchaser was restricted from transferring TRIP shares for a period of six months commencing on March 22, 2021.

Matters Relating to the Board. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, (i) Mr. O’Hara delivered a resignation to our Board of Directors as the Series A Preferred Threshold Director, (ii) the Purchaser permanently waived its right to appoint the Series A Preferred Threshold Director, (iii) the authorized size of our Board of Directors increased by two members (the LTRP New Board Seats) and (iv) Mr. O’Hara was appointed to one of the LTRP New Board Seats as a Class III member with a term expiring at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the LTRP 2021 Annual Meeting) and Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Purchaser nominated Mr. O’Hara to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by our Board of Directors to our stockholders for election as directors at the LTRP 2021 Annual Meeting, at which meeting Mr. O’Hara was elected to continue serving as a Class III member of our Board of Directors until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders or his earlier resignation or removal. The Purchaser has the right to nominate Mr. O’Hara to be included in any future slate of such nominees for Class III directors for so long as Purchaser beneficially owns LTRPP shares equal to at least the Threshold Amount. In the event Mr. O’Hara is not elected as a director of our Board of Directors, we will appoint Mr. O’Hara as a non-voting observer of our Board of Directors, subject to certain customary conditions, for so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns LTRPP shares equal to at least the Threshold Amount. In the event the Purchaser ceases to beneficially own LTRPP shares equal to at least the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser will cause Mr. O’Hara to immediately resign from our Board of Directors or, if applicable, his non-voting Board observer position, which will automatically terminate at such time. Effective January 31, 2023, Mr. O’Hara resigned from or Board of Directors due to competing professional obligations. In connection with his resignation from our Board of Directors effective January 31, 2023, Mr. O’Hara no longer serves as Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors. The

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

Our company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchaser is entitled to demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of LTRPP and any shares of common stock of our company paid to satisfy our obligations under the Investment Agreement and the Certificate of Designations. The Purchaser will be entitled to four demand registration rights, subject to certain limitations, including that each demand must cover at least $15,000,000 in value of shares to be registered and that we will not be required to effect more than one underwritten shelf takedown during any 180 day period. We will pay the costs associated with such registrations (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions).

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibit 4.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020.

LETTER AGREEMENT WITH MR. MAFFEI

On December 21, 2014, Mr. Maffei received a one-time grant of options consisting of 1,797,107 options to purchase shares of LTRPB at an exercise price of $27.83 per share (the 2014 Options). Because of the significant voting power that Mr. Maffei would possess upon exercise of the 2014 Options, our Board of Directors determined that it would be appropriate to also grant Mr. Maffei approval for purposes of exempting him from the restrictions that may be imposed on him as an “interested stockholder” under Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (Section 203). Separately, Mr. Maffei advised our Board that, although no agreement, arrangement or understanding had been reached, he was in discussions with Mr. Malone regarding a potential exchange of shares of LTRPB owned by the Malones (as defined below) for shares of LTRPA owned by Mr. Maffei. As a result, the compensation committee of our Board and the members of our Board independent of Mr. Maffei and the Malones determined that it was appropriate to request that Mr. Maffei enter into a standstill agreement with our company, and on December 21, 2014, we and Mr. Maffei entered into a letter agreement (the Standstill Letter). The Standstill Letter was entered into in connection with the grant of the 2014 Options to Mr. Maffei and in anticipation of such potential exchange. On December 22, 2014, Mr. Maffei acquired 2,770,173 shares of LTRPB in exchange for 3,047,190 shares of LTRPA pursuant to an exchange transaction pursuant to which he exchanged (the Exchange) an aggregate of 3,047,190 shares of LTRPA in a private transaction with John C. Malone, our Chairman at the time, Mr. Malone’s wife and two trusts (the Trusts) managed by an independent trustee, the beneficiaries of which are Mr. Malone’s adult children (Mr. Malone, his wife and the Trusts, the Malones), for an aggregate of 2,770,173 shares of LTRPB held by the Malones. Prior to the grant of the 2014 Options and any agreement, arrangement or understanding between Mr. Maffei and Mr. Malone regarding the Exchange, the compensation committee of our Board and the members of our Board independent of Mr. Maffei and the Malones approved (x) each of Mr. Maffei and certain of his related persons as an “interested stockholder” and (y) the acquisition by such persons of shares of our common stock, in each case, for purposes of Section 203.

Although certain portions of the Standstill Letter terminated in accordance with their terms on December 21, 2019, Mr. Maffei agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to certain customary standstill provisions, which remain in effect. Such provisions prohibit Mr. Maffei and his Controlled Affiliates (as defined in the Standstill Letter), unless expressly authorized by a majority of the members of our Board who are independent, disinterested and unaffiliated with Mr. Maffei and his Controlled Affiliates, from: (i) effecting or seeking, offering or proposing (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or announcing any intention to effect or cause or participating in or assisting, facilitating or encouraging any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, (A) any acquisition of any equity securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or rights or options to acquire any equity securities (or beneficial ownership thereof), of our company, (B) any tender or exchange offer, consolidation, business combination, acquisition, merger, joint venture or other business combination involving our company, (C) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to our company or (D) any solicitation of proxies or consents relating to the election of directors with respect to our company; (ii) forming, joining or in any way participating in a “group” ​(as defined under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act); (iii) depositing any Voting Securities (as defined in the Standstill Letter) in a voting trust or similar arrangement; (iv) granting any proxies with respect to any Voting Securities to any person (other

than in his capacity as a designated representative of our company); (v) otherwise acting (alone or in concert with others), to call or seek to call a meeting of our stockholders, initiating any stockholder proposal or calling a special meeting of our Board of Directors; (vi) entering into any third-party discussions regarding the foregoing; (vii) publicly requesting a waiver or amendment of the foregoing, or making any public announcement regarding such restrictions; (viii) taking any action which would reasonably be expected to require our company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of a business combination or merger; or (ix) advising, assisting or knowingly encouraging or directing any person to do so in connection with the foregoing. However, Mr. Maffei will not be deemed to have breached or violated these limitations to the extent such actions were taken in connection with his provision of services to our company as a member of our Board of Directors or as Chief Executive Officer of our company.

The standstill limitations cease to apply (i) if our company fails (subject to certain exceptions) to comply with our obligation to include Mr. Maffei (or his designee) on the Management Slate for election as a director (other than at Mr. Maffei’s request or because of Mr. Maffei’s refusal to accept such nomination), (ii) if Mr. Maffei ceases to serve as Chief Executive Officer of our company other than as a result of his resignation without Good Reason (as defined in the grant agreement related to the 2014 Options (the Option Agreement)), his Disability (as defined in the Option Agreement) or his termination for Cause (as defined in the Option Agreement), or (iii) if Mr. Maffei (or his designee) ceases to be a director of our company, other than (A) due to his refusal to serve as a director of our company or to propose a designee in his place, (B) due to his (or his designee’s) resignation, (C) due to Mr. Maffei’s election not to submit a replacement candidate for appointment or (D) during a period following Mr. Maffei’s resignation so long as our company is working in good faith to appoint a replacement designee of Mr. Maffei. The standstill limitations also cease to apply upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Standstill Letter, including our company entering into discussions regarding a transaction that would, if consummated, be reasonably likely to result in a Change of Control (unless Mr. Maffei has been released from such restrictions to the extent reasonably necessary for him to fully participate in any discussions (in his capacity as a stockholder) and to offer or propose alternative transactions involving himself and his Controlled Affiliates and third parties) or a third party commences a tender or exchange offer for at least 50.1% of our common stock which would result in a Change of Control of our company and which offer is not opposed by our company.

The foregoing is a summary of the Standstill Letter and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Standstill Letter, which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 29, 2014.

Pay vs Performance Disclosure
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table	PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE This section provides information about the relationship between compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers and certain financial performance measures of our Company. For purposes of this section, the amount of compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers is determined using the valuation methods prescribed by the SEC in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Although the rules describe such amount as compensation actually paid, these amounts are not reflective of the taxable compensation actually paid to our named executive officers in a covered year. As described in more detail below, to determine the amount of compensation actually paid in a covered year, Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K requires that in each covered year we (1) deduct the grant date value of equity awards reported in the Stock Awards or Option Awards columns in the Summary Compensation Table from the Total column in the Summary Compensation Table; (2) add, for awards granted in the covered year, the fair value of the equity awards (i) as of the end of a covered year or (ii) as of the vesting date, as applicable; and (3) add or subtract, for awards granted in, and outstanding at the end of, a prior year (i) the change in the fair value from the end of the prior year to the end of the current year or (ii) from the end of the prior year to the date the awards vest in the covered year, as applicable. ​ ​ ​ ​ PEO(1) ​ ​ Non-PEO NEOs(1) ​ ​ Value of initial fixed $100 investment based on: ​ ​ (millions) ​ ​ Year ​ ​ Summary Compensation Table Total for PEO ($)(2) ​ ​ Compensation Actually Paid to PEO ($)(3) ​ ​ Average Summary Compensation Table Total for non-PEO NEOs ($)(2) ​ ​ Average Compensation Actually Paid to non-PEO NEOs ($)(3) ​ ​ Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) ($)(4) ​ ​ Peer Group TSR ($)(5) ​ ​ Net Income ($)(6) ​ ​ Adjusted OIBDA ($)(7) ​ ​ 2023 ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,372,259 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 3,128,631 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 121,836 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 146,861 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPA ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 11.56 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 132.49 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1,020) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 69 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPB ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 128.28 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2022 ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,074,577 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (495,151) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 111,221 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 18,432 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPA ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 9.11 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 101.81 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 46 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 61 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPB ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 344.83 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2021 ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,487,114 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1,259,524) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 135,808 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (30,049) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPA ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 29.52 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 119.56 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 38 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 23 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPB ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 231.03 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ 6,885,895 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 8,002,704 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 164,315 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 178,659 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPA ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 59.05 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 103.32 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (862) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (12) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ LTRPB ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 405.93 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) Our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) for each of the fiscal years indicated was Mr. Maffei.
