Explanation of Responses:
1. The Reporting Person is the sole trustee of, and with his spouse, retains a unitrust interest in the trust.
2. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by his spouse.
3. On November 14, 2019, the reporting person entered into a "zero-cost collar" arrangement (the "Transaction") pursuant to which he wrote European call options and purchased European put options over an aggregate of 3,650,000 Class C common shares. Only one of the options can be in the money on the expiration date, at which time the in-the-money options will be exercised, and the other options will expire. If neither the put options nor the call options are in the money on the expiration date, both the put and call options will expire. The Transaction will be settled in cash unless the reporting person elects physical settlement.
4. The Transaction is divided into 12 components, each of the first 11 of which are with respect to 300,000 shares of Series C common stock and the last of which is with respect to 350,000 shares of Series C common stock. The components mature on sequential trading days over the period beginning on March 3, 2027 and ending on March 18, 2027.
5. The Transaction is a "zero-cost collar" in which no premium was exchanged for either the call options or the put options.
Remarks:
The trading symbols for the Issuer's Series A, Series B and Series C common stock are DISCA, DISCB and DISCK, respectively.
