 voting interest in the AtlasEdge JV. (e)Liberty Global owns a 25% noncontrolling voting interest in the nexfibre JV.(f)In connection with our investment in Vodafone, we entered into a share collar (the Vodafone Collar) with respect to the Vodafone shares held by our company. The aggregate purchase price paid to acquire our investment in Vodafone was partially financed through borrowings under a secured borrowing agreement (the Vodafone Collar Loan) collateralized by the Vodafone shares. Under the terms of the Vodafone Collar, the counterparty has the right to re-use pledged Vodafone shares. During the second quarter of 2025, we executed a series of transactions that resulted in (i) the disposition of 90 million of our Vodafone shares and the associated unwind and settlement of the corresponding amounts of the Vodafone Collar and the Vodafone Collar Loan, respectively, and (ii) the restructure of the remainder of the Vodafone Collar, which effectively reduced the net fair value of our economic interest in our investment in Vodafone to nil ($89.3 million at December 31, 2024). This series of transactions resulted in net cash received of €70.9 million ($81.7 million at the applicable rate). Subsequently, in July 2025, we fully settled the Vodafone Collar Loan using the value of the remaining Vodafone shares and the Vodafone Collar. For additional information regarding the Vodafone Collar and the Vodafone Collar Loan, see notes 6 and 9, respectively.(g)Represents investments held under SMAs, which are maintained by investment managers acting as agents on our behalf. We classify, measure and report these investments, the composition of which may change from time to time, based on the underlying nature and characteristics of each security held under the SMAs. With the exception of our SMA in a leveraged structured note, all of our investments held under SMAs were sold as of the first quarter of 2025. Our SMA held in a leveraged structured note is accounted for at fair value and the associated gains or losses are included in realized and unrealized gains (losses) due to changes in fair values of certain investments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2024, interest accrued on our debt securities, which is included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $7.2 million. (h)
