Context
These transfers reflect merger mechanics under the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Charter (effective Aug 19, 2026): Liberty's securities were converted into Charter securities or cancelled as outlined in the Merger Agreement. Because these were merger-driven conversions/cancellations and reported at $0, they do not represent a voluntary insider sale or purchase and generated no proceeds to the insider.
