EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS COMPENSATION
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS COMPENSATION
Overview of Compensation Process
Overview of Compensation Process The compensation committee of our Board was established for the purposes of assisting our Board in discharging its duties with respect to compensation of our executive officers and the administration of our incentive plans. In furtherance of its purposes, the compensation committee is responsible for identifying our primary goals with respect to executive compensation, implementing compensation programs designed to achieve those goals, subject to appropriate safeguards to avoid unnecessary risk taking, and monitoring performance against those goals and associated risks. The chair of the compensation committee reports to our Board on annual compensation decisions and on the administration of existing programs and development of new programs. In addition, meetings of the compensation committee can be attended by any director, including directors who are not committee members. The members of the compensation committee are “independent directors” (as defined under the Nasdaq rules) and “non-employee directors” (as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the SEC’s rules under the Exchange Act). Compensation decisions with respect to our executive officers, including our NEOs, are made by the compensation committee. Our CEO is actively engaged in providing input to the compensation committee on compensation decisions for our other members of senior management in a variety of ways, including reviewing and recommending annual salaries, annual performance goals and the level of target and/or maximum performance awards for his executive team and evaluating their performance. With the assistance of our People and Legal Departments, he is also involved in formulating the terms of proposed performance or incentive award programs for consideration by the compensation committee, evaluating alternatives and recommending revisions. Other senior officers, within the scope of their job responsibilities, participate in gathering and presenting to the compensation committee data and legal, tax and accounting analyses relevant to compensation and benefit decisions. Decisions with respect to our CEO’s compensation are made in private sessions of the compensation committee without the presence of management. In making its compensation decisions, the compensation committee ultimately relies on the general business and industry knowledge and experience of its members and the committee’s own evaluation of company and NEO performance. However, the compensation committee has the authority under its charter to engage its own compensation consultants and other independent advisers, and the committee may retain a compensation consultant to assist it in evaluating proposed changes in compensation programs or levels of compensation and to provide comparative data. Our shareholders voted, on an advisory basis, on the compensation of our NEOs at our 2024 Annual General Meeting of shareholders, and we received the approval of approximately 93% of the aggregate votes cast on that proposal. No material changes were made to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. At our 2024 Annual General Meeting of shareholders, shareholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every three years (referred to as the say-on-frequency vote) and our board of directors adopted this as the frequency at which future say-on-pay votes would be held. We will re-evaluate this determination following the next shareholder advisory say-on-frequency vote, which is expected to occur at our 2030 annual general meeting of shareholders, unless presented earlier. In early 2025, the compensation committee approved our NEOs’ 2025 compensation, including their target achievable annual cash performance awards, target annual equity awards for 2025, consisting of RSUs and SARs, and the financial and operational targets for earning the annual cash performance awards. Other than Mr. Nair, the NEOs received increases to their 2025 base salaries as discussed in more detail below. The 2025 target achievable annual cash performance and target annual equity awards for our NEOs (other than Mr. Nair) were identical to the 2024 targets. Mr. Nair’s target annual cash performance award increased from $4.5 million in 2024 to $4.75 million in 2025, and his target annual equity award increased from $7.5 million in 2024 to $7.75 million in 2025, in each case, pursuant to his employment agreement with our company. Our NEOs’ 2025 compensation is discussed in —Elements of Our Compensation Package below. We and our subsidiary, LiLAC Communications 2, Inc. (Liberty LA), have also entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Nair, Noyes, Hussain and Winter, the terms of which are described below under — Employment and Other Agreements. We believe that it is in our company’s best interest to have an employment agreement with Mr. Nair to serve as our CEO and with each of our other NEOs in order to promote stability in management, secure their services for the long term and implement appropriate restrictive covenants.
Compensation Philosophy and Goals
Compensation Philosophy and Goals The compensation committee has three primary objectives with respect to executive compensation: motivation, retention and long-term value creation for our shareholders. •Motivate our executives to maximize their contributions •Establish a mix of financial and operational performance objectives based on our annual budget and our medium-term outlook to balance short- and long-term goals and risks •Establish individual performance objectives tailored to each executive’s role in our company to ensure individual accountability •Pay for performance that meets or exceeds the established objectives •Attract and retain superior employees •Offer compensation that we believe is competitive with the compensation paid to similarly situated employees of companies in our industry and companies with which we compete for talent •Include vesting requirements and forfeiture provisions in our multi-year equity awards •Align executives’ interest with shareholders •Emphasize long-term compensation, the actual value of which depends on increasing the share value for our shareholders, as well as meeting financial and individual performance objectives for a portion of awarded compensation •Require our executive officers to achieve and maintain significant levels of share ownership, further linking our executives’ personal net worth to long-term share price appreciation for our shareholders Our performance-based compensation programs provide the opportunity to reward the NEOs and other senior management for contributing to annual and long-term financial, operational, and share price performance. A high percentage of the NEOs’ total compensation is aligned with shareholder interests and delivered in the form of annual performance bonuses, a significant portion of which are based on company performance, and awards of shareholder appreciation rights. In approving the level of each compensation element for our executive officers, the compensation committee considers a number of factors, including: •the responsibilities assumed by the individual executive and the significance of the individual’s role to achievement of our financial, strategic and operational objectives; •the experience, overall effectiveness and demonstrated leadership ability of the individual executive; •the performance expectations set for our company and for the individual executive and the overall assessment by the compensation committee of actual performance; •from time to time, comparative pay data for similarly situated employees of companies in our industry and companies with which we compete for talent; and •retention risks at specific points in time with respect to individual executives.
Setting Executive Compensation
Setting Executive Compensation To achieve these compensation objectives, the compensation packages provided to members of our senior management (other than our Executive Chairman), including our NEOs, include three main components: base salary, annual performance awards and multi-year equity incentive awards. In addition, certain members of senior management, including our NEOs, may participate in our Deferred Compensation Plan (as defined below). The relative weighting of the components, the design of the performance and incentive awards and the overall value of the compensation package for individual employees varies based on the employee’s role and responsibilities. For members of our senior management, including our NEOs, the total value of the compensation package is most heavily weighted to performance and incentive awards because of the significance of each officer’s roles and responsibilities to the overall success of our company. Further, multi-year equity incentive awards are the largest component of executive compensation, serving the goals of retention as well as alignment with shareholders’ interests. The compensation committee’s objective is for a substantial majority of each executive officer’s total direct compensation (that is, base salary plus maximum annual cash performance award plus target annual equity incentive) to be comprised of the target value of his multi-year equity incentive awards. We aim to compensate our executive officers at levels that are commensurate with the levels of compensation for executives in similar positions at a group of publicly-traded peer companies. In October 2023, we updated our peer group based on a review of other companies’ similarity to our company with respect to the following criteria: industry, market value, size and revenue.
Setting Executive Compensation
We evaluate our executive compensation program, including our mix of cash and equity compensation, based on a review of this peer group. The compensation committee reviewed compensation data from these peer companies, and other relevant survey sources, to inform its decision about overall compensation opportunities and specific compensation elements. The compensation committee generally targeted the 75th percentile of peer group compensation levels for our executive compensation program, subject to adjustments based on individual experience, expertise and performance.
Elements of Our Compensation Packages
Elements of Our Compensation Packages The implementation of our compensation approach is described below. Base Salary General. Base salary represents the least variable element of our executives’ compensation and is provided as an economic consideration for each executive’s level of responsibility, expertise, skills, knowledge, experience and value to the organization. Generally, decisions with respect to increases in base salaries are expected to be based on increased responsibilities, company-wide budgets and increases in the cost of living. 2025 Base Salaries. For 2025, the base salaries of Messrs. Nair, Noyes, Hussain and Winter were $1.5 million, $730,013, $675,938 and $640,000, respectively. Messrs. Noyes and Hussain received three percent increases to their base salaries to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment. Based on Mr. Winter’s 2024 performance and in light of additional cybersecurity-related responsibilities he had assumed in 2024, as well as the responsibilities he assumed in 2025, he received an eleven percent increase to his base salary for 2025. Our NEOs’ initial base salaries are set in their respective employment agreements, the terms of which are described below under Employment and Other Agreements. Annual Performance Awards General. Annual cash performance awards are one of the variable components of our executive officers’ compensation packages designed to motivate our executives to achieve our annual business goals and reward them for superior performance. Generally, at its first regular meeting following the end of each fiscal year, the compensation committee reviews with our CEO the financial performance of our company during the prior year, his performance, his evaluation of the performance of each of the other members of senior management (including our NEOs) participating in the prior year’s annual cash performance award program and his recommendations for any recognition award. It then determines, in a private session, whether our CEO has met his individual performance goals for the year, whether he is entitled to any recognition bonus, and the amount to be paid to him with respect to his performance award. Starting with the 2019 annual cash performance plan, the compensation committee adopted the Recognition Bonus Program, whereby high performers within the company, including our NEOs, are eligible to receive, based on personal performance, a payout over the annual bonus amount, subject to the compensation committee’s approval of any recognition award for the NEOs. The compensation committee also approves the amount to be paid to the other participants in the program, including our other NEOs, with respect to their performance awards, and the terms of the annual cash performance award program for the current year, including, in a private session, the goals for our CEO for the coming year. Design of 2025 Annual Bonus Program and 2025 Performance. The 2025 Annual Bonus Program was adopted and approved in March 2025. In approving the 2025 annual performance bonus program (the 2025 Annual Bonus Program), the compensation committee considered the following key elements: •the achievement of budgeted revenue growth and operating free cash flow (OFCF) growth; and •governance objectives focused on compliance and improvements in our internal control framework. The total bonus payout based on the above performance metrics is the sum of the percentages derived from the achievement in 2025 of such metrics, with a maximum payout of 150% for over-performance for each of revenue and OFCF. If less than 25% performance is achieved for the revenue or OFCF goals, then no payout would be earned for that particular metric. The metrics are weighted as: (i) revenue, weighted 25%; (ii) OFCF, weighted 60%; and (iii) governance objectives, weighted 15%. The 2025 target achievable performance award was $4.75 million for our CEO, representing a $250,000 increase as provided by Mr. Nair’s employment agreement with our company, which was renewed in July 2022 (the 2022 Nair Agreement), and $1.0 million for each of the other NEOs. Additionally, each participant is eligible for the Recognition Bonus Program, which could increase the 2025 annual bonus to up to 130% of the annual bonus result. Growth was measured by comparing 2025 actual results to 2024 actual results for each financial metric, as approved by our Board. The growth achieved was then measured against the growth target set at the March 2025 compensation committee meeting. Both periods were adjusted for foreign currency exchange rates to ensure comparability. Payouts may be further adjusted upon compensation committee approval for events affecting comparability, such as acquisitions, natural disasters, unforeseen regulatory changes, and changes in accounting principles or policies. The revenue growth target for Messrs. Nair, Noyes, Hussain and Winter was based on attainment of 2025 budgeted revenue of $4,609.4 million, calculated using a weighted sum of the parts determined by each operating company’s weighted 2025 absolute revenue contribution. The OFCF growth target applied company-wide to all bonus participants and was based on attainment of 2025 budgeted OFCF of $1,165.3 million, calculated using a weighted sum of the parts determined by each operating company’s weighted 2025 absolute OFCF contribution. For both metrics, each operating company's contribution was subject to a minimum threshold of 25% and a maximum cap of 150%. Any operating company failing to meet the minimum threshold would have its contribution set to zero, and any operating company exceeding the maximum cap would have its contribution capped at 150%. The governance objectives consisted of: (i) maintenance and continued improvement of our business process controls, weighted 7.5%, and (ii) significant improvement in our General IT controls (GITCs), weighted 7.5%. The business process control targets were based on open deficiencies at nine in-scope markets, weighted equally, as of December 31, 2025. One or more material weaknesses in our business process controls would result in no bonus for that weighted portion. A 50% payout would be earned on the business controls component if there were no more than two significant deficiencies, a 75% payout would be earned if there were no more than one significant deficiency, and 100% of this component would be earned if there were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our business process controls. The GITC targets were based on open deficiencies for in-scope systems across eight markets, weighted equally. A payout of 50% would be earned if there were no more than two significant deficiencies, a 75% payout would be earned if there were no more than one significant deficiency, and 100% of this component would be earned if there were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our GITC controls. At its meeting on February 17, 2026, the compensation committee reviewed the actual revenue and OFCF for 2025 based on our 2025 audited consolidated financial statements and as adjusted for foreign currency exchange rates, natural disasters, a change in revenue presentation of certain business-to-business deals in Panama, a business discontinuation and an acquisition. The following table provides further details of our 2025 Annual Bonus Program plan for our NEOs, including the levels that were pre-established for the quantitative goals and the actual achievement against those goals. The target levels established for the quantitative goals are bolded. At the February 17, 2026 meeting, the compensation committee approved the payments to our NEOs with respect to their target achievable bonus as set forth in the table below.

Elements of Our Compensation Packages
(1)Adjustments were made in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Annual Bonus Program and for certain other unbudgeted events that the compensation committee, in its discretion and consistent with past practice, determined distorted performance against the financial performance metrics. These items included (a) adjustments to 2024 revenue and OFCF to reflect foreign currency exchange rates with the 2025 exchange rates; (b) decreased the 2025 revenue and OFCF targets by $19.6 million and $43.6 million, respectively, and increased the capital expenditure budget in Jamaica by $17.1 million for the estimated impact from Hurricane Melissa in Liberty Caribbean and Liberty Networks, (c) decreased the 2025 revenue target by $12.9 million due to a change in revenue classification for certain business-to-business deals in CWP, (d) decreased the 2025 revenue and OFCF targets by $3.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to the shutdown of Liberty Networks’ hardware sales business, and (e) increased the 2025 OFCF target by $1.7 million in connection with expected capital expenditures for Liberty Networks’ Maya cable acquisition. (2)For purposes of the 2025 Annual Bonus Program, OFCF is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation and other 2018 incentive plan-related expense, depreciation and amortization, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items, less (ii) less property and equipment additions. Other operating items include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. (3)With respect to achievement of improvements in our business process controls, we did not achieve zero material weaknesses primarily based on open deficiencies at Liberty Networks and at Bahamas Telecommunications Company as of December 31, 2025. With respect to achievement of improvements in our GITC controls, there were no GITC material weaknesses. (4)To determine the final total bonus payout, the payout based on financial and operational performance is then multiplied by each NEO’s target achievable performance award, as approved by the compensation committee, and in the case of Mr. Winter, who was awarded a recognition bonus award for his performance in 2025 as described above in —Assessing NEO Performance, such result was multiplied by 1.30. Retention Bonuses On August 8, 2025, the compensation committee approved cash retention bonuses for Messrs. Noyes and Winter due to the critical role they play with respect to the strategic initiatives that we disclosed in our earnings release and earnings call on August 7, 2025. Messrs. Noyes’s and Winter’s bonuses are equal to 2.5 times their respective 2025 annual base salaries and vest in three equal annual installments ($608,344 for Mr. Noyes and $533,333 for Mr. Winter) on October 15 of each of 2025, 2026 and 2027. If we terminate Mr. Noyes’s or Mr. Winter’s employment without cause before October 15, 2027, then they will receive the remaining amounts that were originally scheduled to be paid after their respective exit date. If Mr. Noyes or Mr. Winter leaves our company voluntarily before October 15, 2027, then they will forfeit the remainder of their respective unpaid bonus. Equity Incentive Awards General. Multi-year equity incentive awards, whether in the form of conventional equity awards or performance-based awards, represent a significant portion of our executives’ compensation. These awards ensure that our executives have a continuing stake in our company’s success, align their interests with our shareholders and also serve the goal of retention through vesting requirements and forfeiture provisions. Given the uncertain macroeconomic environment in 2025, in particular in the countries in which we operate, the compensation committee established a 2025 long-term incentive program comprised of RSUs and SARs that vest over a three-year period (the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Awards). Furthermore, the compensation committee approved the 2025 performance objectives to be achieved in order to vest in the LILAB performance share unit award that was granted to Mr. Nair pursuant to the 2022 Nair Agreement (together with the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Awards, the 2025 Equity Incentive Awards). The RSUs, SARs and PSUs that comprise the 2025 Equity Incentive Awards were strategically selected by the compensation committee based on the following conclusions and considerations: •The organizational risks of incentive compensation can be reduced through: •the use of multiple equity vehicles (for example, RSUs, SARs and PSUs) with different performance, retention, risk and reward profiles; and •annual grants of equity awards that spread the target incentive compensation over multiple and overlapping performance/service periods and provide the flexibility to change performance metrics, weighting and targets from grant to grant. •The use of performance-based equity awards, such as PSUs, adds an element of market risk over the performance/service period to better align the interests of management and shareholders, while focusing management on achieving specified performance targets to earn the award; and •The use of conventional equity awards, such as SARs, provides a retention mechanism and alignment with shareholders by only delivering value if the stock price appreciates. 2025 Long-Term Equity Awards. Pursuant to the 2018 incentive plan, in March 2025, the compensation committee approved the target annual equity values for 2025 and granted an aggregate of 2,153,450 RSUs (the 2025 RSUs) and 3,966,938 SARs (the 2025 SARs) to our CEO and the other NEOs of the company. For the 2025 long-term incentive program, the compensation committee determined that a combination of 40% SARs and 60% RSUs was appropriate for our NEOs. The RSUs and SARs are each issued in common shares at a ratio of one-third Class A and two-thirds Class C, reflecting the approximate ratio of issued and outstanding shares of the company's Class A and Class C common shares, and past practice in our incentive plans. The following table summarizes the target annual equity values and number of 2025 RSUs and 2025 SARs granted to our NEOs:

Elements of Our Compensation Packages
One-third of the 2025 RSUs and 2025 SARs vest on March 15 of each of 2026, 2027 and 2028. The SARs have a term of ten years and base prices equal to the market closing price of the common shares on the grant date of March 14, 2025, which was $6.69 for LILA and $6.66 for LILAK. The SARs and RSUs are subject to tax withholding, forfeiture, acceleration, amendment or other terms in connection with certain terminations of employment, change-of-control events and other terms with executives, generally consistent with the terms of equity awards previously granted by the company. For 2025, we increased Mr. Nair’s target equity value from $7.5 million to $7.75 million pursuant to the 2022 Nair Agreement. Our other NEOs’ 2025 target equity values did not change from their 2024 target values. CEO Award of LILAB PSUs. Upon the effective date of the 2022 Nair Agreement, Mr. Nair received an award of 625,000 LILAB shares that was split into three installments (the Sign-on LILAB Award). The first two installments vested on July 28, 2022 and March 15, 2023, and half of the final installment (or 156,250 PSUs) vested on March 15, 2024 with vesting of the other half subject to 2024 performance. In March 2025, the compensation committee determined that the unvested 156,250 PSUs had not been earned based on 2024 performance and to condition vesting of those PSUs on 2025 performance. If earned, the LILAB PSUs, would vest in March 2026. In October 2025, the compensation committee established the following 2025 performance objectives for the remaining 156,250 PSUs: •Execute on key strategic, capital allocation and value enhancing initiatives across the group as determined by the Board; •Launch 5G in Costa Rica and the Cayman Islands; •Deliver improvements in SOX compliance and overall risk management across the group; and •Deliver our budget. In addition, the compensation committee’s evaluation of Mr. Nair’s overall performance could include other factors that the committee deems appropriate, including, for example, leadership, handling adversity, strategic progress and stock price. If the committee determined that Mr. Nair’s 2025 performance was “strong” (on a scale of “good” – “strong” – “exceeds”), then Mr. Nair would vest in the PSUs. After reviewing Mr. Nair’s 2025 performance, on March 30, 2026, the committee determined to vest 85% of the remaining 156,250 PSUs (or 132,813 PSUs) and to condition vesting of the remaining 15% upon achievement of 2026 performance goals to be determined at a later date. Share Ownership Policy The compensation committee has established an Executive Share Ownership Policy, effective March 2018, for our executive officers and senior officers. The purpose of the Executive Share Ownership Policy is to ensure that our officers have a significant stake in our long-term success and are aligned with our shareholders. As a result, the compensation committee established guidelines for ownership of our common shares based on an individual’s level in our company and expressed as a multiple of base salary as follows:
Post-Employment Benefits and Change in Control
Post-Employment Benefits and Change in Control Our CEO and each of our NEOs are entitled to post-employment benefits under their respective employment agreements. See Employment and Other Agreements below. Additionally, our NEOs and executive officers are entitled to the same benefit of accelerated vesting of all or part of conventional equity awards made under the 2018 incentive plan on certain termination-of-employment events as other holders of such awards. Similarly, the 2018 incentive plan provides the same treatment to all holders of conventional equity awards granted under these plans upon the occurrence of certain change in control events. Accordingly, the existence of these potential post-employment and change in control benefits has not influenced the compensation committee’s decisions with respect to executive compensation. The compensation committee believes these limited acceleration events related to a change in control provide appropriate protection to participants and would serve to maintain morale and aid retention during the disruptive circumstances of a change in control. The compensation committee reserved discretion to approve the accelerated vesting of an individual’s award or an amendment to an individual’s award agreements when appropriate under the circumstances. For additional information on post-employment benefits and change in control provisions, see Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control below.
Timing of Equity Awards
Timing of Equity Awards We do not grant options or SARs in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, and we do not time the release of material nonpublic information based on option or SAR grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In addition, we do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such options or SARs. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our stock appreciation right grants, the committee has historically granted such SARs on a predetermined annual schedule. For purposes of determining the number of LILA and LILAK awards to be granted each year for the target annual equity values of our executive officers and other key employees, the compensation committee expects to use the 1:2 weighted, LILA and LILAK, 5-day average prices of such shares leading up to the date of such committee’s approval of the grants to determine the number of awards to issue. The grant date for such awards generally occurs in March of each year. For 2025, awards were granted in mid-March to our NEOs. As a relatively new company, the compensation committee continues to evaluate appropriate timing of grants under our annual equity grant program and may determine to grant awards at another time in subsequent years. Grants of equity awards to eligible employees would otherwise only be made in connection with significant events, such as hiring or promotion. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, none of our named executive officers were awarded options or SARs with an effective grant date during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, or Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information, and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such reports.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation The Deferred Compensation Plan was approved by the compensation committee in March 2018 and became effective on May 1, 2018. Officers of Liberty LA, which include our NEOs may participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Each designated participant may elect to defer all or any portion of his or her (1) annual performance award, (2) annual salary up to limits specified by the compensation committee (currently 90%) and (3) award, if any, under a current or future multi-year performance award arrangement. Compensation deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan prior to 2022 will be credited with interest initially at the rate of 8.5% per year, compounded daily (the credited interest fund). In setting the interest rate, the compensation committee reviews data on the implied yields of our significant bank debt and outstanding bonds, as well as credit market conditions. The compensation committee reserved the right to change the interest rate in the future, provided that any decreases in the rate will apply only to deferred elections that become irrevocable after the new rate is set, and in fact, reduced the interest rate to 8.0% per year, compounded daily, for compensation deferred in 2022 and 2023. For compensation deferred in 2024, the compensation committee increased the interest rate to 9.5%, which remains the same for compensation deferred in 2025 and 2026. Deferred equity awards will not be credited with interest, but will be adjusted for splits, combinations, dividends or distributions. If the compensation committee approves the establishment of one or more phantom investment funds for purposes of the Deferred Compensation Plan, a participant may, but will not be obligated to, elect one or more of such phantom investment funds as the measurement fund for the purpose of calculating notional earnings, losses and other relevant amounts to be credited to or deducted from all or a portion of his or her deferred compensation instead of the credited interest fund. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides the compensation committee with the discretion to terminate the Deferred Compensation Plan within 12 months of certain change in control events and distribute each participant’s account balance. Otherwise, the amount of compensation deferred will be distributed in a lump sum or in up to three installments upon the date or dates selected by the participant, or in up to five equal annual installments, or in a lump sum when the participant ceases to be an employee of our company. At the participant’s request, if the compensation committee determines that such participant has suffered a financial hardship, it may authorize immediate distribution of all or a portion of his or her account balance. The compensation committee has reserved the right to terminate the Deferred Compensation Plan at any time. Such an optional termination will not result in accelerated distributions. Our NEOs were eligible to participate under the Deferred Compensation Plan during 2025. Messrs. Nair and Winter, each a U.S. taxpayer as of December 31, 2025, have deferred compensation under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The table below sets forth certain information concerning the deferred compensation of these officers at year end 2025.

(1)These totals include annual bonuses that were earned by such executive with respect to performance in 2023 and 2024 and paid and deferred, in part, in 2024 and 2025. The annual bonuses with respect to 2023 performance were paid 50% in shares and 50% in cash and are reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns of the 2025 Summary Compensation Table. The annual bonuses with respect to 2024 performance were paid entirely in cash and are included in the “Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the 2025 Summary Compensation Table. Our named executive officers did not defer any 2025 compensation.

(2) Prior to the Split-Off, Mr. Winter was permitted to defer a portion of annual base salary and annual cash bonus under the Liberty Global, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the LG Deferred Compensation Plan). Although such amounts relate to compensation while he was employed by Liberty Global prior to the Split-Off, we reimburse Liberty Global for the interest income that accrues on Mr. Winter’s accounts under the LG Deferred Compensation Plan, which was initially set at 8.5% per year, compounded daily, for amounts deferred by Mr. Winter during 2017.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control The Termination of Employment Table and the Change in Control Table set forth below reflect the potential payments to our NEOs in connection with termination of their employment or a change in control of us as of December 31, 2025. The Termination of Employment Table assumes that a change in control has not occurred. The Change in Control Table assumes that a change in control has occurred as of December 31, 2025. Certain of our plans and agreements provide benefits upon the occurrence of a change in control without regard to whether employment is terminated, whereas others have a “double trigger” requiring employment to be terminated for benefits to be realized. These are separately reflected in the Change in Control Table. The amounts provided in the tables are based on the assumptions stated below. The actual amounts may be different at the time of termination or change in control, as the case may be, due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify these arrangements from time to time. •Because the base price of SARs granted prior to 2024 to each NEO was more than the closing market price of LILA and LILAK shares, as applicable, on December 31, 2025, these SARs have been excluded from the tables below. SARs, RSUs and PSUs that would vest on an accelerated basis or continue to vest are valued using the applicable closing market price on December 31, 2025. On December 31, 2025, the closing market price for LILA, LILAB and LILAK shares was as follows: •LILA shares: $7.39 •LILAB shares: $10.74 •LILAK shares: $7.46 The termination provisions of the 2022 Nair Agreement and of the employment agreements with each of our other NEOs are described under —Employment and Other Agreements above. The 2018 incentive plan is described under —Incentive Plans above. In addition to such descriptions, additional information on the termination and/or change in control provisions of these plans and agreements is provided below. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides that the amount of compensation deferred will be distributed in a lump sum or in up to three installments upon the date or dates selected by the participant, or in up to five equal annual installments, or in a lump sum when the participant ceases to be an employee of our company, including in each of the termination of employment scenarios described below. The Deferred Compensation Plan also provides for a payout of the account balance when a participant ceases to be an employee due to death or disability.
CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio We are a global company that employs approximately 9,000 people (on a full-time and part-time equivalent basis at year-end 2025) in approximately 40 markets, with a majority of our work force located outside the U.S. We strive to ensure that every employee is paid at a level reflective of their job responsibilities and is competitive within our peer group and the respective country and local employment markets. We are committed to providing pay equity throughout our company, which we view as critical to our success in supporting a diverse workforce with opportunities for employees to develop, advance and contribute. Under the rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, we are required to provide the total compensation paid to our median employee, as well as the ratio of the total compensation paid to such median employee as compared to the total compensation paid to our CEO. For the year ended December 31, 2025: •The annual total compensation of the employee identified as the median of our company (other than our CEO) was $52,437. •The annual total compensation of the CEO for purposes of determining the CEO Pay Ratio was $16,885,852. Based on the above, our 2025 CEO to median employee pay ratio is 322:1. This pay ratio is an estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC rules based on the methodology described below. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. We identified our median employee by collecting payroll data of our employee population on December 31, 2024, consisting of salary and wages (including overtime), annual bonus amounts and, if applicable, employer-paid 401(k) match contributions. At that time, our employee population consisted of 1.98% U.S. employees and 98.02% non-U.S. employees. We annualized the compensation of all newly hired permanent and part-time employees. We did not perform any other adjustments. After identifying the median employee, for purposes of the pay ratio, we calculated the median employee’s total annual compensation in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation table.
Pay versus Performance
Pay versus Performance The following table sets forth information concerning the total compensation of our NEOs as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, compensation actually paid as defined in Regulation S-K Item 402(v) and our financial performance for fiscal years 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021. “Compensation actually paid” has been calculated in accordance with Regulation S-K Item 402(v) and differs from Total Compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table during 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. References to “PEO” in the table below are to Mr. Nair, who has been our President and Chief Executive Officer since the Split-off was completed in December 2017. For further information concerning our variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how we design our executive compensation program to motivate our executives to achieve our company performance objectives and also reward individual performance, see —Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.

(1) The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for our named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Nair, who has served as our CEO since 2017) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding Mr. Nair) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2025, Christopher Noyes, Aamir Hussain and John Winter; (ii) for 2024, 2023 and 2022, Christopher Noyes, Aamir Hussain, Rocio Lorenzo and John Winter; and (iii) for 2021, Christopher Noyes, Betzalel Kenigsztein, Vivek Khemka, Rocio Lorenzo and John Winter. (2) The total shareholder return (TSR) in columns (f), (g) and (h) compares the changes in the cumulative TSR on our LILA and LILAK shares from market close on December 31, 2020 to December 31 of each of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, to the change in the cumulative TSR of the MSCI Emerging Markets NTR Index, which is our peer group index in the 2025 Form 10-K (assuming reinvestment of dividends, where applicable, and that $100 was invested at the market close on December 31, 2020). (3) Consolidated adjusted OFCF is OFCF as adjusted each year in accordance with our annual bonus program and for certain other unbudgeted events that the compensation committee, in its discretion and consistent with past practice, determined distorted performance against the financial performance metrics. Historically, OFCF adjustments apply foreign currency exchange rates for the covered year to our OFCF for the immediately preceding year and include the impact of acquisitions, dispositions, volcanic activity, hurricanes, earthquakes and power outages. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Our Compensation Packages—Annual Performance Awards—Design of 2025 Annual Bonus Program and 2025 Performance for the definition of OFCF. (4) The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Nair, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the adjustments in the table below were made to Mr. Nair’s total compensation for 2025 to determine the compensation actually paid. With respect to equity award adjustments for 2025 as disclosed in the table below, the valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant.

Pay versus Performance Table
We believe our performance-based compensation program provides the opportunity to reward our NEOs and other senior management for contributing to annual and long-term financial, operational, and share price performance. The majority of our NEOs’ compensation is aligned with shareholder interests and delivered in the form of annual performance bonuses and multi-year performance-based equity incentive awards in the form of SARs and, in prior years, PSARs, which are tied to share price appreciation and to company or individual performance. The financial performance measures used by our company to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2025 to our performance were:
Pay versus Performance Table
| Most Important Financial Measures for 2025 | | •Consolidated adjusted OFCF | | •Revenue |
Pay versus Performance Table
Our NEOs’ 2025 annual bonuses were subject to achievement of the consolidated adjusted OFCF and revenue financial performance measures in the table above, as well as one other non-financial performance measure. For 2025, consolidated adjusted OFCF and revenue were weighted 60% and 25%, respectively, in our annual bonus program. See —Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Our Compensation Packages—Design of 2025 Annual Bonus Program and 2025 Performance above for additional information about the relationship between our financial performance and the annual bonuses paid to our NEOs for 2025, as well as our performance on non-financial performance measures and how it impacted our NEOs’ 2025 compensation. We view consolidated adjusted OFCF as the most important financial measure linking our NEOs’ compensation actually paid to our performance, with performance on that measure accounting for 50%, 45%, 60%, 60% and 60% of our annual bonus program for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Accordingly, the graph below reflects general alignment between our consolidated adjusted OFCF and compensation actually paid to Mr. Nair and our other NEOs for 2021 through 2025. As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are also presenting the graph below which compares the compensation actually paid to Mr. Nair and our other NEOs to the TSRs of our LILA and LILAK shares. This graph also compares the TSRs of our LILA and LILAK shares to the TSR of the MSCI Emerging Markets NTR Index, which is our peer group index in the 2025 Form 10-K. The TSRs reflected in the chart below assume reinvestment of dividends, where applicable, and that $100 was invested at the market close on December 31, 2020. The following graph compares Mr. Nair and our NEOs’ compensation actually paid to our net income for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH DIRECTOR COMPENSATION 12.1 General. Subject to the provisions of this Article XII, each Nonemployee Director shall have a Share Election Right in connection with Director Compensation payable for each calendar quarter after the Effective Date. Subject to any applicable Purchase Restrictions, to the extent a Nonemployee Director has exercised the Share Election Right in accordance with this Article XI, such Nonemployee Director will receive Shares of the applicable class of Shares in consideration for an undertaking to pay for such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Share Election Right. Furthermore, the undertaking to pay may be satisfied (in whole or in part) by the release, at the Company’s discretion, of its requirement to pay the Director Compensation payable to such Nonemployee Director with respect to the applicable calendar quarter on the last day of such calendar quarter (or as soon as practicable thereafter). The number of Shares of the applicable class of Shares issuable to a Nonemployee Director pursuant to a Share Election Right for a particular calendar quarter shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of such Director Compensation by (y) the Fair Market Value of a Share of the applicable class of Shares as of the last day of such calendar quarter. No fractional shares will be issued. In lieu of issuing any fractional shares resulting from such calculation, an amount in cash will be paid equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of the applicable class of Shares on the last day of such calendar quarter. All Shares issued under this Article XII shall be issued free of all restrictions, except as required by law. In addition, the issuance of any Shares under this Article XII shall be for at least the minimum consideration necessary to permit such Shares to be fully paid. Nothing in this Article XII shall preclude Nonemployee Directors from receiving any other Award authorized under the Plan. 12.2 Timing of Election. Subject to the deemed election provisions of Section 12.3, a Nonemployee Director who wishes to exercise the Share Election Right with respect to a particular calendar quarter must provide an Election Notice by the Election Deadline applicable to such calendar quarter. Once the Election Deadline applicable to a particular calendar quarter has passed, no Share Election Right may be exercised by any Nonemployee Director with respect to such calendar quarter, unless the Board or the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that such change is occasioned by an extraordinary or unanticipated event. 12.3 Deemed Election. If a Nonemployee Director has never delivered a timely Election Notice, the Nonemployee Director shall not have an entitlement to receive Shares with respect to such quarter and consequently will receive cash for the Director Compensation payable to such Nonemployee Director. Once an Election Notice is timely delivered by a Nonemployee Director, it shall apply to the calendar quarter with respect to which it was delivered, and, if such Nonemployee Director subsequently fails to timely provide Election Notices with respect to the succeeding calendar quarters, it shall be deemed to apply to all succeeding calendar quarters until a Rescission Notice is timely delivered to the Company with respect to any succeeding calendar quarter. For a Rescission Notice to be timely with respect to a particular calendar quarter, it must be delivered to the Company by the Election Deadline applicable to such calendar quarter. A Nonemployee Director who has delivered a Rescission Notice may exercise a Share Election Right for subsequent calendar quarters by the timely delivery of an Election Notice. 12.4 Election Void During Restricted Period. If, on the date a Nonemployee Director is to receive Shares pursuant to this Article XI, a Purchase Restriction is in place, such Nonemployee Director shall not have an entitlement to receive Shares with respect to such quarter and shall not be required to give an undertaking to pay for any such Shares and consequently will instead receive cash in payment of the Director Compensation then payable to such Nonemployee Director without set off against an undertaking to pay for any such Shares. 12.5 Conditions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Board, in its sole discretion, from imposing additional conditions as it may determine, in its sole discretion, on any issuance of Shares pursuant to this Article XII.
