2023 Annual Performance Bonus

On March 20, 2023, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Liberty Latin America Ltd. (the “Company”) approved performance goals for the year ending December 31, 2023 for annual performance awards to its executive officers (the “2023 Performance Awards”), including those executive officers who were named executive officers in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders and those who are expected to be named executive officers in the Company's proxy statement for the 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders (collectively, the “NEOs”).

Payment of the 2023 Performance Awards will be based on achievement of the following consolidated Company performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2023:

•budgeted revenue growth, weighted 25%;
•budgeted operating free cash flow (“OFCF”), weighted 60%;
•governance objectives focused on compliance and improvements in the Company’s internal control
framework, weighted 15%.

For purposes of the 2023 Performance Awards, OFCF means operating income before depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation, and impairment, restructuring and other operating items less property and equipment additions.

Based on the achievement of these performance metrics, a payout of up to 150% of the target bonus amount is available for over-performance against budget/target and no payout would be earned if the achievement is less than 25% of the Company’s budgeted revenue growth or OFCF goals. The Company has also created a recognition program for high performers who are eligible to receive, based on personal performance, an increased bonus of 130% of the annual bonus result, subject to Committee approval.

In connection with the 2023 Performance Awards, the Company encourages increased share ownership among its executive team to enhance alignment between the executives and shareholder returns. As a result, the Committee implemented a shareholding incentive program that allows the Company’s executive officers, including the NEOs, to receive up to 50% of their 2023 annual performance awards in Company common shares in lieu of cash. Executives electing common shares in respect of their 2023 Performance Awards will also receive restricted share units equal to 12.5% of the common shares they earn pursuant to the 2023 Performance Awards. The restricted share units vest one year after the grant date provided that the executive holds all of the common shares issued in respect of the 2023 Performance Awards through that period.
