New 2026 Incentive Plan Proposed
Shareholders will vote on the Liberty Latin America 2026 Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares. This represents a potential dilution of approximately 24.8% of current outstanding shares if fully utilized.

Executive Share Exchange
CEO Balan Nair exchanged 1,363,080 voting LILA shares for 1,300,243 non-voting LILAK shares, a transaction valued at approximately $10.6 million, for tax planning purposes. This reduces his direct voting power.

Immaterial Financial Restatement
The company corrected immaterial errors in its previously reported 2024 consolidated financial statements, impacting full-year 2024 revenue by $10 million and adjusted OIBDA by $29 million. These corrections did not affect 2024 executive bonuses or trigger the recoupment policy.
