Proxy Statement Solicitations Concerning Election of Directors

At our 2009 annual meeting, one of the items of business will be the election of four directors to our board (including ratification of board appointment of Mark Kroloff to complete the remaining two years in Class I of our board). We plan to solicit proxies and to distribute a management proxy statement and other proxy materials for that meeting via the internet, mail as needed, in person or by telephone, electronic mail or other electronic transmission. These solicitations may be carried out by our officers, directors or regular employees. None of these individuals are to receive additional compensation for that effort.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

We were, as of the December 31, 2008, involved in several administrative and civil action matters primarily related to our telecommunications markets in Alaska and the remaining 49 states and other regulatory matters. These actions are discussed in our Annual Report. See, "Annual Report." However, as of that date, our board was unaware of any legal proceedings in which one or more of our directors, officers, affiliates or owners of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any associates of the previously listed persons were parties adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries. Furthermore, as of that date, our board was unaware of any events occurring during the past five years materially adverse to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any director, person nominated to become a director or executive officer of the Company.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

During 2008, one of our officers (Mr. Chapados) inadvertently failed to file with the SEC a Form 4 (Change in Beneficial Ownership Report) on a timely basis as required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. That is, he failed to file two Forms 4 on due dates of March 19, 2008 and March 31, 2008, but in both cases filings were made by February 13, 2009.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ("Ethics Code"), was adopted by our board in 2003. It applies to all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Ethics Code takes as its basis a set of business principles adopted by our board several years ago. It also builds upon the basic requirements for a code of ethics as required by federal securities law and rules adopted by the SEC.

Through our Ethics Code, we reaffirm our course of business conduct and ethics as based upon key values and characteristics and through adherence to a clear code of ethical conduct. Our Ethics Code promotes honest and ethical conduct, including ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships of our employees. It also promotes full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in our reports and documents filed with, or submitted to, the SEC and other public communications made by us. Our Ethics Code further promotes compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, internal reporting of violations of the code to appropriate persons as identified in the code and accountability for adherence to the code.

A copy of our Ethics Code is displayed on our internet website at www.gci.com (click on "About GCI," then click on "Corporate Governance," and then click on "Code of Business Conduct and Ethics"). Also, a copy of the Ethics Code may be obtained at no charge and upon written request to us at the following address:

No Change in Nominating Procedures

There were no changes made during 2008 to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board.

Audit Committee, Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Glasgow, Mooney, and Schneider. All of the members of the committee are considered by our board to be Independent Directors as defined elsewhere in this report. See within item 13 of this report, "Director Independence." In addition, they are all considered by our board to be audit committee financial experts ("Audit Committee Financial Experts").

Our Audit Committee is governed by, and carries out its responsibilities under, the Audit Committee Charter, as adopted and amended from time to time by our board ("Audit Committee Charter"). The charter sets forth the purpose of the Audit Committee and its membership prerequisites, operating principles, relationship with our principal accountant ("Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm") and primary responsibilities. A copy of our Audit Committee Charter is available to our shareholders on our internet website: www.gci.com (click on "About GCI," then click on "Corporate Governance," and then click on "Audit Committee Charter").

The Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards require that at least one member of our Audit Committee must have past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or comparable experience or background which results in the individual's "financial sophistication." This financial sophistication may derive from the person being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. Our board believes that Messrs. Glasgow, Mooney and Schneider, as Audit Committee Financial Experts, also meet the Nasdaq requirements for financial sophistication.

Under the SEC's rules, an Audit Committee Financial Expert is defined as a person who has all of the following attributes:

·	Understanding of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements.

·	Ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves.

Experience in preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities.

·	Understanding of internal control over financial reporting.

·	Understanding of audit committee functions.

The Audit Committee Charter specifies how one may determine whether a person has acquired the attributes of an Audit Committee Financial Expert. They are one or more of the following:

·	Education and experience as a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant or auditor or experience in one or more positions that involved the performance of similar functions.

·	Experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions.

·	Experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements.

·	Other relevant experience.

Our Audit Committee acts on behalf of our board and generally carries out specific duties including the following, all of which are described in detail in our Audit Committee Charter:

·	Independent Auditor Selection, Qualification – Is directly responsible for appointment, compensation, retention, oversight, qualifications and independence of our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm.

See within this item 10, "Code of Business Conduct and Ethics."

·	Principal Accountant Disagreements – Resolves disagreements, if any, between our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm and us regarding financial reporting.

·	Non-Audit Services – Reviews and pre-approves any non-audit services offered to us by our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm ("Non-Audit Services").

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

Compensation of our executive officers and directors during 2008 was subject to processes and procedures carried out through our Compensation Committee ("Compensation Program"). This compensation discussion and analysis ("Compensation Discussion and Analysis") addresses the material elements of our Compensation Program as applied to our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and to each of our three other most highly compensated executive officers other than the chief executive officer and chief financial officer who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2008. All five of these officers are identified in the Summary Compensation Table ("Named Executive Officers"). See within this item 11, "Executive Compensation: Summary Compensation Table."

Both the Compensation Committee and the Company believe that the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers under our Compensation Program is fair, reasonable, competitive and consistent with our Compensation Principles.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Brett, Edgerton, Fisher, Glasgow, Kroloff (appointed to committee in February 2009), Mooney, and Schneider. All of the members of the committee are considered by our board to be Independent Directors.

Our board had not as of December 31, 2008 adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee. However, consideration and determination of compensation of our executive officers and directors during 2008 was subject to our Compensation Program, the aspects of which are described elsewhere in this report. See within this item 11, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Process."

Our Compensation Program sets forth the scope of authority of our Compensation Committee and requires the committee to carryout the following:

·	Review, on an annual basis, plans and targets for executive officer and board member compensation, if any —

o	Review is specifically to address expected performance and compensation of, and the criteria on which compensation is based for, the chief executive officer and such other of our executive officers as our board may designate for this purpose.

·	Monitor the effect of ongoing events on and the effectiveness of existing compensation policies, goals, and plans —

o	Events specifically include but are not limited to the status of the premise that all pay systems correlate with our compensation goals and policies.

o	Report from time to time, its findings to our board.

·	Administer our Amended and Restated 1986 Stock Option Plan ("Stock Option Plan") and approve grants of options and awards pursuant to the plan.

·	Monitor compensation-related publicity and public and private sector developments on executive compensation.

·	Familiarize itself with, and monitor the tax, accounting, corporate, and securities law ramifications of, our compensation policies, including but not limited to –

o	Comprehending a senior executive officer's total compensation package.

o	Comprehending the package's total cost to us and its total value to the recipient.

o	Paying close attention to salary, bonuses, individual insurance and health benefits, perquisites, special benefits to specific executive officers, individual pensions, and other retirement benefits.

·	Establish the overall cap on executive compensation and the measure of performance for executive officers, either by predetermined measurement or by a subjective evaluation.

·	Strive to make our compensation plans simple, fair, and structured so as to maximize shareholder value.

In carrying out its duties, our Compensation Committee may accept for review and inclusion in its annual review with our board, recommendations from our chief executive officer as to expected performance and compensation of, and the criteria on which compensation is based for, executive officers other than the chief executive officer. However, our Compensation Committee, in being established as a committee of the board under our Bylaws, was not specifically authorized to delegate any of its duties to another person. Our Compensation Committee has in the past retained and made use of compensation consultants in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive compensation as further discussed elsewhere in this report. See within this item 11, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Process."

Principles of the Compensation Program

Our Compensation Program is based upon the following principles ("Compensation Principles"):

·	Compensation is related to performance and must cause alignment of interests of executive officers with the long term interests of our shareholders.

·	Compensation targets must take into consideration competitive market conditions and provide incentives for superior performance by the Company.

·	Actual compensation must take into consideration the Company's and the executive officer's performance over the prior year and the long term, and the Company's resources.

·	Compensation is based upon both qualitative and quantitative factors.

·	Compensation must enable the Company to attract and retain management necessary to cause the Company to succeed.

Process

Compensation Committee and Compensation Consultant Interaction. Our Compensation Committee reviews annually and recommends to our board for approval the base salary, incentive and other compensation of the chief executive officer. These reviews are performed and recommendations are made in executive session that excludes all members of management. Board action on the recommendations is done by vote of our Independent Directors, as defined elsewhere in this report. See within item 13 of this report, "Director Independence."

Our Compensation Committee further reviews annually and recommends to our board for approval the base salary, incentive and other compensation of our senior executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. These reviews are performed and recommendations are made in executive session that excludes all members of management. The analyses and recommendations of the chief executive officer on these matters as relating to senior executive officers other than the chief executive officer may be considered by our Compensation Committee in its deliberations and recommendations to our board. Board action on the recommendations is done by vote of our Independent Directors.

Other elements of executive compensation and benefits as described in this section are also reviewed by our Compensation Committee on a regular basis.

In October 2005, our Compensation Committee selected, retained and commenced a process of working with Towers Perrin, an outside compensation consultant ("Compensation Consultant"). The Compensation Consultant reported directly to our Compensation Committee and assisted the committee in evaluating and analyzing the Compensation Program, its principles and objectives, and in evaluating and

analyzing the specific compensation element recommendations presented by our chief executive officer. The Compensation Consultant has, at the request of the Compensation Committee, subsequently reviewed and consulted with the committee in 2007 regarding that initial evaluation in light of changing market conditions and compensation of executive officers of businesses similar to that of the Company.

Discussions on executive compensation and benefits made by the Compensation Committee have been guided by our Compensation Principles. The elements of compensation as described later in this section are believed by the Compensation Committee to be integral and necessary parts of the Compensation Program.

Our Compensation Committee has concluded that each individual segment of each element of executive compensation continues generally to be consistent with one or more of our Compensation Principles. Our Compensation Committee has further concluded the amount of compensation provided by the segment is reasonable, primarily based upon a historical comparison of the compensation amounts and segments we provide when compared to those offered by other similar companies in our industry and in our market.

Our process for determining executive compensation and benefits does not involve a precise and identifiable formula or link between each element and our Compensation Principles. However, it takes into consideration market practice and information provided by our Compensation Consultant and management. It is also the result of discussion among our Compensation Committee members and management. Ultimately it is based upon the judgment of our Compensation Committee.

We chose to include as an alternative in each agreement to allow the Company to elect to pay a portion of the compensation in the form of non-cash items, e.g., options and awards, to limit the immediate cash outlay and at the same time allow us to provide an incentive to the officer to work hard toward the goal of making us successful in our marketplace. That is, as we prove successful in the marketplace, the investing public should see our publicly traded stock as more valuable, which in turn makes the stock subject to the options or awards held by the officers more valuable when the options are exercised and the stock is issued or the awards vest.

The Compensation Committee will during 2009 perform a review of all elements of our Compensation Program.

In early 2007, base salary and incentive stock targets were compared to amounts offered by a group of similar companies. The Company's relative financial performance was reviewed in order to determine what a reasonable amount of compensation might be in relation to its peer group. The compensation peer group was principally made up of the following:

·	Publicly held companies in industries similar to our Company.

·	Companies with which our Company competes for executive talent.

·	Our Company's direct business competitors.

·	Companies that compete with our Company for investment dollars.

The compensation peer group list used in determining the reasonableness of our Compensation Program consisted of 19 companies as follows:

Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc.	CT Communications, Inc.
FairPoint Communications, Inc.	Equinix, Inc.
Iowa Telecommunications Services, Inc.	Golden Telecom, Inc.
Mediacom Communications Corp.	North Pittsburgh Systems, Inc.
Northrim BanCorp, Inc.	RCN Corp
Cincinnati Bell, Inc.	SureWest Communications
Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises, Inc.	Talk America Holdings, Inc.
Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc.	Time Warner Telecom, Inc.
Covad Communications Group	XO Holdings, Inc.
Crown Media Holdings, Inc.

The results of this benchmark analysis were size-adjusted to take into consideration differences between the Company's revenue size and that of the peer group companies. Individual levels of element compensation were generally targeted to be set within a range of between the 50th and 75th percentile, based upon the executive's individual performance in the prior year relative to his or her peers, the executive's future potential, and the scope of the executive's responsibilities and experience. Input from the individual executives in terms of their expectation and requirements were considered as well.

We believe this method of setting compensation enables the Company to attract and retain individuals who are necessary to lead and manage the Company while enabling the Company to differentiate between executives and performance levels and responsibility. The comparison to other companies also allowed the Compensation Committee to determine the reasonableness of the balance between long-term incentive and annual compensation.

Based upon the information received from its Compensation Consultant, the Compensation Committee determined that, in general, compensation levels for the Company's senior officers were reasonable when compared to officers of companies in our peer group having comparable financial performance. As a result, the Compensation Committee in early 2008 made de minimis adjustments to the

compensation of the Company's senior executive officers, except for option grants to certain of them.

In establishing 2008 base salary and incentive compensation targets, the Compensation Committee, although it did review the information and, except for grants that vested over multiple years, concluded it was not appropriate to take into account payments or compensation earned by executive officers as a result of options or awards granted in prior years.

Other compensation elements as discussed in this section were periodically reviewed to ensure that they continued to remain both competitive and reasonable based upon market survey data obtained from various sources at the time of review. While such data were typically not customized to the Company, they were used by our Compensation Committee as a guide for overall reasonableness and competitiveness of the benefits.

Elements of Compensation

Overview. The elements of compensation in our Compensation Program were for 2008 as follows:

·	Base Salary.

·	Incentive Compensation Bonus Plan ("Incentive Compensation Plan").

·	Stock Option Plan.

·	Perquisites.

·	Retirement and Welfare Benefits.

There are no compensatory plans or arrangements providing for payments to any of the Named Executive Officers in conjunction with any termination of employment or other working relationship of such an officer with us (including without limitation, resignation, severance, retirement or constructive termination of employment of the officer). Furthermore, there are no such plans or arrangements providing for payments to any of the Named Executive Officers in conjunction with a change of control of us or a change in such an officer's responsibilities to us.

Base Salary. Effective January 1, 2008, based upon the process previously described in this section, the base salaries reported in the Summary Compensation Table (see within this item 11,

"Executive Compensation: Summary Compensation Table") were approved by the Compensation Committee.

Mr. Duncan's base salary reflects cash compensation of $600,000 per year until adjusted by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Duncan's duties remained unchanged during 2008.

Mr. Hughes' base salary reflects cash compensation of $200,000 per year, $225,000 credited to his Deferred Compensation Arrangement account with us, and amortization of the prepaid portion of a retention agreement with him in the amount of $37,500. Mr. Hughes' compensation is subject to change by the Compensation Committee, and his duties remain unchanged during 2008.

Mr. Lowber's base salary reflects cash compensation of $260,000 and $65,000 credited to his Deferred Compensation Arrangement account with us. Mr. Lowber's compensation is subject to change by the Compensation Committee, and his duties have remained unchanged during 2008.

Mr. Behnke's base salary reflects cash compensation of $250,000. Mr. Behnke's compensation is subject to change by the Compensation Committee, and his duties have remained unchanged during 2008.

Mr. Chapados' base salary reflects cash compensation of $240,000. He did not participate in a Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us in 2008. Mr. Chapados' compensation is subject to change by the Compensation Committee, and his duties have remained unchanged during 2008.

Incentive Compensation Plan. A portion of the Company's compensation to each Named Executive Officer relates to, and is contingent upon, the officer's performance and our financial performance and resources. This portion of compensation took the form of incentive bonus agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers pursuant to our Incentive Compensation Plan.

In early 2008, our Compensation Committee, using as a guide the Compensation Principles, established compensation levels for 2008 for all senior corporate officers, including the Named Executive Officers. The specific level for a given officer and related terms for the program and the Incentive Compensation Plan were set forth in agreements between the Company and each officer. Targeted incentive compensation amounts were established at $350,000 for Mr. Duncan and $100,000 for each of Messrs. Behnke, Hughes and Lowber. Mr. Chapados' incentive compensation was in the form of a stock option agreement with a targeted vesting of 20,000 shares per year. During June 2008, the Incentive Compensation Plan for Mr. Chapados was adjusted to provide an additional cash target of $100,000.

The specific form and targeted amount of incentive compensation for a Named Executive Officer once adopted by the Compensation Committee as a part of the Compensation Program, was submitted to the board for approval. Thereafter, these matters were informally reviewed with the employee by our Chief Executive Officer.

The payout opportunities for our senior executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, are for each officer based upon subjective levels of achievement by the individual officer and are heavily influenced by the financial performance of the Company against its current year business plan. In general, if the plan is met and the individual performed as expected, the targeted amount of incentive compensation would be paid. From time to time, a special award may be made to an individual following an effort resulting in a significant benefit to the Company. Should the Company’s financial performance materially exceed its business plan, the Compensation Committee would take that into consideration in possibly increasing the amount of the bonus awarded for that year. In the event an incentive goal is not met, the Compensation Committee may decrease the corresponding bonus.

The Company has no specific policies for allocating between long-term and currently paid out compensation. The Compensation Committee attempts to strike an appropriate balance between available resources, the desires of the applicable employee, and a determination of reasonableness based upon an awareness of the competitive environment. This desire for balance also extends to the allocation between cash and non-cash compensation and among different forms of non-cash compensation. The Company has no specific policy in the context of long-term compensation for the basis for allocating compensation to each different form of award but strives to encourage management at an appropriate cost to the Company to focus on the long-term performance of the Company in order that management share in the Company’s success as well as participate in any downturns.

Compensation levels may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee based upon a number of factors including available Company resources, financial performance of the Company, an evaluation of the competitive marketplace, and the requirements of its key employees. Accounting and income tax treatments of compensation are considered by the Compensation Committee with the primary focus on ascertaining that taxable income to the recipients is deductible by the Company and the accounting treatment is consistent with the requirements of current accounting literature.

The Company has no requirements with respect to security ownership by its officers or directors, and it has no policies regarding hedging the economic risk of ownership of Company equity. Executive officers are invited to provide their input with respect to their compensation to the Compensation Committee primarily through our Chief Executive Officer.

A Named Executive Officer participating in the Compensation Program could, under terms of the corresponding Incentive Compensation Plan agreement with us and pursuant to our Deferred Compensation Plan, elect to defer a significant portion of that compensation. In this instance, the Named Executive Officer becomes our unsecured creditor. See within this item 11, "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation."

During 2008, all of our Named Executive Officers participated in the Incentive Compensation Plan. Our Compensation Committee determined that the performance requirements of the Incentive Compensation Plan had been exceeded during 2008 and authorized payments pursuant to the plan and determined that, but for Mr. Chapados, they would be made entirely in cash. The committee authorized payments of $750,000 to Mr. Duncan and $200,000 to each of Messrs. Behnke, Chapados, Hughes and Lowber. Mr. Chapados' incentive stock option agreement was vested in the amount of 40,000 shares of our Class A common stock.

Stock Option Plan. Options and awards, if granted to the Named Executive Officers, were granted pursuant to terms of our Stock Option Plan. In particular, the exercise price for options in each instance was identified as an amount within the trading range for our Class A common stock on Nasdaq on the day of the grant of the option. Options, if granted, were granted contemporaneously with the approval of the Compensation Committee, typically early in the year in question or late the previous year. See within this item 11, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of Compensation – Incentive Compensation Plan."

We adopted our stock option plan in 1986. It has been subsequently amended from time to time and presently is our Stock Option Plan, i.e., our Amended and Restated 1986 Stock Option Plan. Under our Stock Option Plan, we are authorized to grant non-qualified options to purchase shares of Class A common stock to selected officers, directors and other employees of, and consultants or advisors to, the Company and its subsidiaries. These options are more specifically referred to as nonstatutory stock options or incentive stock options within Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Internal Revenue Code"). In addition, our Compensation Committee may under the Stock Option Plan grant restricted stock awards as further described below.

The number of shares of Class A common stock allocated to the Stock Option Plan is 15.7 million shares. The number of shares for which options may be granted is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, consolidations and certain other changes in corporate structure or capitalization. As of December 31, 2008, there were 6,812,736 shares subject to outstanding options under the Stock Option Plan, 616,867 share grants had been awarded, 7,833,510 shares had been issued upon the exercise of options under the plan, 480,968 options had been repurchased and 917,855 shares remained available for additional grants under the plan.

Under our Stock Option Plan, our key employees (including officers and directors who are employees) and non-employee directors of, and consultants or advisors to, us are eligible for option grants. The selection of optionees is made by our Compensation Committee.

Restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Option Plan may be subject to vesting conditions based upon service or performance criteria as the Compensation Committee may specify. These specifications may include attainment of one or more performance targets. Shares acquired pursuant to such an award may not be transferred by the participant until vested. Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, a participant will forfeit any shares of restricted stock where the restrictions have not lapsed prior to the participant's termination of service with us. Participants holding restricted stock will have the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends paid, if any. However, those dividends or other distributions paid in shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the original award.

Our Compensation Committee selects each grantee and the time of grant of an option or award and determines the terms of each grant, including the number of shares covered by each grant and the exercise price. In selecting a participant, as well as in determining these other terms and conditions of each grant, our Compensation Committee takes into consideration such factors as it deems, in its sole discretion, relevant in connection with accomplishing the purpose of the plan.

Under the Stock Option Plan, an option becomes vested and exercisable at such time or upon such event and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Compensation Committee. The maximum term of any option granted under the plan is 10 years, provided that an incentive stock option granted to a person who at the time of grant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary corporation of the Company ("Ten Percent Shareholder") must have a term not exceeding five years. Unless otherwise permitted by the Compensation Committee, an option generally remains exercisable for 30 days following the participant's termination of service, with limited exception. The exception arises if service terminates as a result of the participant's death or disability, in which case the option generally remains exercisable for 12 months. In any event, the option must be exercised no later than its expiration date.

In particular, under the present Stock Option Plan, the Compensation Committee may set an option exercise price at an amount not less than the market price for the corresponding

stock. However, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

Our Compensation Committee may, subject to certain limitations on the exercise of its discretion required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, amend, cancel or renew any option granted under the Stock Option Plan, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any option under the plan, and accelerate, continue, extend or defer the vesting of any option under the plan. The Stock Option Plan provides, subject to certain limitations, for indemnification by the Company of any director, officer, or employee against all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any legal action arising from that person's action or failure to act in administering the plan. All grants of options under the Stock Option Plan are to be evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the optionee specifying the terms and conditions of the grant.

Options granted that have not become exercisable terminate upon the termination of the employment or directorship of the optionholder. Exercisable options terminate from one month to one year after such termination, depending upon the cause of such termination. If an option expires or terminates, the shares subject to such option become available for subsequent grants under the Stock Option Plan.

Incentive stock options are nontransferable by the participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the participant's lifetime only by the participant. However, a nonstatutory stock option may be assigned or transferred to members of the optionholder's immediate family, to the extent permitted by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

Our Stock Option Plan provides that payment upon exercise of an option may be in the form of money or shares of our Class A common stock. If the optionee chooses the latter form of payment, the shares must have a fair market value not less than the exercise price. The plan further provides, notwithstanding other restrictions on transferability of options, that an optionee, with approval of our Compensation Committee, may transfer an option for no consideration to, or for the benefit of, the optionee's immediate family. There is no restriction in the Stock Option Plan that an option granted under the plan must be held by the optionee for a minimum period of time.

Under our Stock Option Plan, our board's authority to modify or amend the plan is subject to prior approval of our shareholders only in cases of increasing the number of shares of our stock allocated to, and available and reserved for, issuance under the plan, changing the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options or where shareholder approval is required under applicable law, regulation or

rule. One such law requiring shareholder approval before the Company may rely on it is Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Subject to these limitations, the Company may terminate or amend the Stock Option Plan at any time. However, no termination or amendment may affect any outstanding option or award unless expressly provided by the Compensation Committee. In any event, no termination or amendment of the plan may adversely affect an outstanding option or award without the consent of the participant unless necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or rule.

With limited exception, no maximum or minimum exists with regard to the amount, either in dollars or in numbers, of options that may be exercised in any year, either by a single optionee or by all optionees under our Stock Option Plan. At the 2002 annual meeting, our shareholders approved an amendment to the plan placing a limitation on accumulated grants of options of not more than 500,000 shares of Class A common stock per optionee per year. This limitation was made a part of the plan to enable us to take advantage of the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code should we choose to do so.

With this exception, there are no fixed limitations on the number or amount of securities being offered, other than the practical limitations imposed by the number of employees eligible to participate in the plan and the total number of shares of stock authorized and available for granting under the plan. Shares covered by options which have terminated or expired for any reason prior to their exercise are available for grant of new options pursuant to the plan.

Perquisites. The Company provides certain perquisites to its Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee believes these perquisites are reasonable and appropriate and consistent with our awareness of perquisites offered by similar publicly traded companies. The perquisites assist in attracting and retaining the Named Executive Officers and, in the case of certain perquisites, promote health, safety and efficiency of our Named Executive Officers. These perquisites are as follows:

Use of Company Leased Aircraft– The Company permits employees, including the Named Executive Officers, to use Company aircraft for personal travel for themselves and their guests. Such travel is limited to a space available basis on flights that are otherwise business-related. When employees, including the Named Executive Officers, use Company aircraft for such travel they are attributed with taxable income in accordance with IRS regulations. The Company does not "gross up" or reimburse employees for taxes they owe on such attributed income. Messrs. Behnke, Duncan and Hughes have made use of the aircraft for personal travel, the value of which is included in the Summary Compensation Table. See within this item 11, "Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table."

Enhanced Long Term Disability Benefit – The Company provides the Named Executive Officers and other senior executive officers of the Company with an enhanced long term disability benefit. This benefit provides a supplemental replacement income benefit of 60% of average monthly compensation capped at $10,000 per month. The normal replacement income benefit applying to other of our employees is capped at $5,000 per month.

Enhanced Short Term Disability Benefit – The Company provides the Named Executive Officers and other senior executive officers of the Company with an enhanced short term disability benefit. This benefit provides a supplemental replacement income benefit of 66 2/3% of average monthly compensation, capped at $2,300 per week. The normal replacement income benefit applying to other of our employees is capped at $1,150 per week.

·	Miscellaneous– Aside from benefits offered to its employees generally, the Company provided miscellaneous other benefits to its Named Executive Officers including the following (see within this item 11, "Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table – Components of 'All Other Compensation'").

o	Success Sharing – An incentive program offered to all of our employees that shares 15% of the excess earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share based compensation expense over the highest previous year ("Success Sharing").

Tax Reimbursement – Provided to Mr. Duncan, as one of our directors, on restricted stock awards granted to him under our Director Compensation Plan during 2006 and provided to other employees and senior executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, from time to time, on $100 longevity stock awards.

o	Board Fees – Provided to Mr. Duncan as one of our directors.

Retirement and Welfare Benefits – Stock Purchase Plan. Named Executive Officers may, along with our employees generally, participate in our Stock Purchase Plan, i.e., our Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan, in which we may provide matching contributions in accordance with the terms of the plan.

We initially adopted our qualified employee stock purchase plan effective in January 1987. It has been subsequently amended from time to time and presently is our Stock Purchase Plan. The plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. All of our employees (excluding employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement) who have completed at least one year of service are eligible to participate in the plan. Eligible employees may elect to reduce their taxable compensation up to 12% of such compensation for employees (those highly compensated earning more than $100,000 within the prior year) and up to 50% of such compensation for all others, both up to a maximum per employee of $15,500 for 2008. Employees may contribute up to an additional 10% of their compensation with after-tax dollars. Participants over the age of 50 may make additional elective deferral contributions to their accounts in the plan of up to $5,000 for 2008.

Subject to certain limitations, we may make matching contributions to the Stock Purchase Plan for the benefit of employees. Matching contributions will vest in accordance with a six-year schedule if the employee completes at least 1,000 hours of service in each year. Such a contribution will vest in increments over the first six years of employment. Thereafter, they are fully vested when made.

Except for additional elective contributions made by participants over age 50, the combination of pre-tax elective contributions, after-tax contributions and our matching contributions for any employee cannot exceed $46,000 for 2008.

Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Plan, participating eligible employees may direct their contributions to be invested in common stock of the Company and shares of various identified mutual funds.

The Stock Purchase Plan is administered through a plan administrator (currently Mr. Lowber, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer), and a committee which is appointed by our board. The plan administrator and members of the plan's committee are all our employees. The plan's committee has broad administrative discretion under the terms of the plan.

As of December 31, 2008, there remained 1,198,861 shares of Class A and 463,989 shares of Class B common stock allocated to the plan and available for issuance by us or otherwise acquisition by the Stock Purchase Plan for the benefit of participants in the plan.

– Deferred Compensation Program. The Company provides to certain of our employees, including our executive officers and Named Executive Officers, opportunities to defer certain compensation under our nonqualified, unfunded, deferred compensation plan ("Deferred Compensation Plan"). In addition, we offer to our executive officers and to certain of our Named Executive Officers nonqualified, deferred

compensation arrangements more specifically fashioned to the needs of the officer and us ("Deferred Compensation Arrangements"). Together, the Deferred Compensation Plan and Deferred Compensation Arrangements constitute our Deferred Compensation Program and is part of our Compensation Program. During 2008, three of our officers participated in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Furthermore, during 2008, six of our officers (including four of the Named Executive Officers) participated in Deferred Compensation Arrangements.

The Deferred Compensation Program enables these individuals to defer compensation in excess of limits that apply to qualified plans, like our Stock Purchase Plan, and to pursue other income tax goals which they set for themselves. The Deferred Compensation Program is described in more detail elsewhere in this report. See within this item 11, "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation."

Based upon its review of our Deferred Compensation Program, our Compensation Committee concluded that the benefits provided under the program are both reasonable and an important tool in attracting and retaining executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers as well as other employees eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan.

– Welfare Benefits. With the exception of the enhanced long term and short term disability benefits described previously, the Company provided to the Named Executive Officers the same health and welfare benefits provided generally to all other employees of the Company at the same general premium rates as charged to those employees. The cost of the health and welfare programs is subsidized by the Company for all eligible employees including the Named Executive Officers.

Performance Rewarded

Our Compensation Program is, in large part, designed to reward individual performance. What constitutes performance varies from officer to officer, depending upon the nature of the officer's responsibilities. Consistent with the Compensation Program, the Company identified key business drivers and established defined targets related to those drivers for each Named Executive Officer. The targets were regularly reviewed by management, from time to time, and provided an immediate and clear picture of performance and enabled management to respond quickly to both potential problems as well as potential opportunities.

The Compensation Program also was used to establish and track corresponding applicable targets for individual management employees. At year end, the results from this program were factored in determining the level of payout for the personal performance portion of the annual incentive for Named Executive Officers.

In 2008, the Compensation Program was used in development of each Named Executive Officer's individual performance goals and established incentive compensation targets. The Compensation Committee evaluated the performance of each of the executive officers and the financial performance of the Company and awarded incentive compensation as described above.

Timing of Equity Awards

Director Compensation Plan. As a part of the Director Compensation Plan, we grant awards of our common stock to board members, including those persons who may be also serving as one or more of our executive officers. Mr. Duncan, a board member and Named Executive Officer, has been granted such awards in the past. These awards are made annually in June of each year in accordance with the terms of the Director Compensation Plan. The awards are made through our Stock Option Plan. See within this item 11, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of Compensation – Stock Option Plan."

Incentive Compensation Plan. As a part of our Compensation Program, from time to time, we grant stock options in our Class A common stock to our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. In particular, stock options are granted in conjunction with the agreements that we enter into with Named Executive Officers pursuant to our Incentive Compensation Program. The grants of such options are typically made early in the year at the time each agreement is entered into with the corresponding executive officer. All such options are granted through the Stock Option Plan. See within this item 11, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of Compensation – Incentive Compensation Plan" and "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of Compensation – Stock Option Plan."

Stock Option Plan. As a part of our Compensation Program, from time to time, we grant stock options in our Class A common stock to our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, and to certain of our advisors. In the case of an executive officer, these options may be granted regardless of whether there is in place an agreement entered into with the officer under our Incentive Compensation Plan. In the case of a new hire and where we choose to grant options or awards, the grant may be done at the time of hire. Under the Stock Option Plan, the Compensation Committee may set the exercise price for our Class A common stock at not less than its fair market value. That value is presently determined on Nasdaq. In all cases, regardless of the identity of the grantee, the timing, amount and other terms of the grant of options under our Stock Option Plan are determined in the sole discretion of our Compensation Committee. See within this item 11, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of Compensation – Stock Option Plan."

In the event an executive level employee is hired or promoted during a year, that employee may be eligible to receive an equity option under the plans previously described in this section. Grants of options in this context may be made at the recommendation of management and only with action of the Compensation Committee.

Grant Policy, Past Practice. In 2007, the Compensation Committee implemented a new granting procedure with the anticipation of simplifying, streamlining and reducing uncertainty as to the timing and pricing of stock option grants on a prospective basis. Under the policy, potential stock option grants were accumulated until the last day of each of the following months: March, June, September and December. During the first meeting following the end of the applicable month, the potential grants were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. All approved grants were granted effective the date they were approved by the committee and were priced at an amount not less than the market value at the close of trading on that date. The terms of the award were then communicated immediately to the recipient. During 2008, the policy was amended such that awards are accumulated and granted without regard to any particular calendar quarter.

The Company does not, and has not in the past, timed its release of material nonpublic information for purposes of affecting the value of equity compensation.

Tax and Accounting Treatment of Executive Compensation

In determining the amount and form of compensation granted to executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, the Company takes into consideration both tax treatment and accounting treatment of the compensation. Tax and accounting treatment for various forms of compensation is subject to changes in, and changing interpretations of, applicable laws, regulations, rulings and other factors not within the Company's control. As a result, tax and accounting treatment is only one of several factors that the Company takes into account in designing the previously described elements of compensation.

Executive Compensation

Summary Compensation Table

As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have employment agreements with any of the Named Executive Officers. The following table summarizes total compensation paid or earned by each Named Executive Officer for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006. The process followed by the Compensation Committee in establishing total compensation for each Named Executive Officer as set forth in the table is described elsewhere in this report. See within this item 11, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis."

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Except as described in this report, as of the end of 2008, there were no compensatory plans or arrangements providing for payments to any of the Named Executive Officers in conjunction with any termination of employment or other working relationship of such an officer with us (including without limitation, resignation, severance, retirement or constructive termination of employment of the officer). Furthermore, there were, as of that date, no such plans or arrangements providing for payments to any of the Named Executive Officers in conjunction with a change of control of us or a change in such an officer's responsibilities to us.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Deferred Compensation Plan

We established our Deferred Compensation Plan in 1995 to provide a means by which certain of our employees may elect to defer receipt of designated percentages or amounts of their compensation and to provide a means for certain other deferrals of compensation. Employees eligible to participate in our Deferred Compensation Plan are determined by our board. We may, at our discretion, contribute matching deferrals in amounts as we select.

Participants immediately vest in all elective deferrals and all income and gain attributable to that participation. Matching contributions and all income and gain attributable to them vest on a case-by-case basis as determined by us. Participants may elect to be paid in either a single lump-sum payment or annual installments over a period not to exceed ten years. Vested balances are payable upon termination of employment, unforeseen emergencies, death or total disability of the participant, or change of control of us or our insolvency. Participants become our general unsecured creditors with respect to deferred compensation benefits of our Deferred Compensation Plan.

None of our Named Executive Officers participated in our Deferred Compensation Plan during 2008.

Deferred Compensation Arrangements

We have, from time to time, entered into Deferred Compensation Arrangements with certain of our executive officers, including several of the Named Executive Officers. The status of these arrangements during 2008 is summarized for each of our Named Executive Officers in the following table and further descriptions of them are provided following the table.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

1	Includes earnings of $7,556 for Mr. Hughes and $646 for Mr. Lowber that is reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

2	Includes $90,538 in Company contributions, $13,894 in aggregate earnings and a year end balance of $194,845 which vests 100% on December 31, 2010 pursuant to a retention agreement.

Mr. Duncan's Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us is comprised of 195,331 shares of our Class A common stock. The earnings on his account for 2008 relate to the decrease in the price of the stock from $8.75 per share on December 31, 2007 to $8.09 per share on December 31, 2008. In December 2008, Mr. Duncan's Deferred Compensation Arrangement was amended such that payment would be made in cash on February 6, 2009 rather than in shares. The amount of the cash payment was fixed based upon the value of the stock on an election date specified by Mr. Duncan. Mr. Duncan made that election, and his Deferred Compensation Arrangement was paid out in cash in February 2009.

Mr. Hughes' Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us consists of three components, i.e., consideration for agreeing to continue his employment by us in the past, a salary deferral plan, and consideration for agreeing to continue his employment by us in the future. In consideration for agreeing to continue his employment during 2003 and 2004, he was granted deferred compensation in the amount of $275,000 which accrues interest at the rate of 3% per year. This arrangement also allows Mr. Hughes' personal use of, and a first right of refusal to purchase, property which we own on Lake Nerka in western Alaska for two weeks per year until the earlier of December 31, 2034 or the election by him to receive payment of his deferred compensation. As of December 31, 2008 and under this agreement, there was accrued $332,750, of which $8,250 had accrued during 2008. In exchange for immediate payment of the amounts accrued, the agreement was amended in December 2008 to eliminate the first right of refusal to purchase the property and to terminate the agreement upon the earliest of December 31, 2034, Mr. Hughes' death or sale of the of the property by the Company. The amounts accrued under the Deferred Compensation

Arrangement were paid out in January 2009. During 2008, no unreimbursed personal use of the property was made by Mr. Hughes or by the other Named Executive Officers.

Mr. Hughes' salary Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us earns interest at the rate of 10% per year based upon the balance at the beginning of the year plus new salary deferrals during the year. As of December 31, 2008 and under this plan, there were accrued $1,989,503, of which $125,000 in salary were deferred and $21,050 in interest were accrued during 2008. In November 2007 at the request of Mr. Hughes, the Company used $1,998,467 of Mr. Hughes' deferred compensation account to acquire 217,300 shares of Company Class A common stock. Accordingly, a portion of Mr. Hughes' deferred compensation account was denominated in 217,300 shares of Company Class A common stock at year-end. In consideration for agreeing to continue his employment from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2009 and under a separate Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us, Mr. Hughes received a payment of $150,000 and was granted deferred compensation of $400,000 with interest at 7.5% per year. Under this Deferred Compensation Arrangement, the deferred portion of the compensation vests at the rate of $100,000 per year. As of December 31, 2008 and under this plan, there were accrued $390,000, of which $100,000 were vested for 2008 service and $30,000 were accrued for 2008 interest.

Mr. Hughes' Deferred Compensation Arrangement provides that after five years employment, or at termination, he is entitled to receive the full amount owed in a lump sum, or in monthly installments paid over a ten-year period.

Mr. Lowber's Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us consists of deferred salary which earns interest on the amounts deferred at 9% per year. As of December 31, 2008 and under this plan, there were accrued $892,539, of which $139,988 had accrued and $400,000 had been paid out during 2008. Effective January 1, 2007 the Company agreed to enter into a retention agreement with Mr. Lowber. In exchange for his commitment to remain in the employ of the Company through the end of 2010, the Company agreed to establish a deferred compensation account in the amount of $350,000 that is to vest on December 31, 2010. The account was credited with $70,000 effective February 19, 2007 and $70,000 effective on each of December 31, 2007 and 2008. Thereafter, it will be credited $70,000 annually on December 31 of 2009 and 2010. The account is to accrue interest at the rate of 7.25% per annum, compounding annually.

Mr. Behnke's Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us consists of deferred compensation denominated in the form of 12,268 shares of Company Class A common stock in which he is fully vested. In addition, Mr. Behnke may defer additional amounts of compensation that may be invested in up to an additional 11,518 shares of Company Class A common stock at a price of $7.78125 per share. Mr. Behnke received all of his shares in January 2009.

Mr. Chapados did not participate in a Deferred Compensation Arrangement with us during 2008.

1	Compensation to Mr. Duncan as a director is described elsewhere in this report. See within this item 11, "Executive Compensation" and "Compensation Discussion and Analysis."

Except as noted in the table and as further described below, each director received a grant of awards of 3,330 shares of Company Class A common stock on June 1, 2008. The value of the shares on the date of grant was $7.36 per share, i.e., the closing price of the stock on Nasdaq on that date and as required in accordance with FAS 123R.

3	Includes $90,623 in board fees, $64,335 in Class A common stock and $25,734 in tax reimbursement for prior years' service on our board during which Mr. Edgerton's previous employer did not allow board compensation to accrue to the benefit of an individual serving on the board.

4	Mr. Kroloff was appointed to the board in February 2009 and did not receive director compensation for 2008.

5	Includes $139,623 in board fees, $64,335 in Class A common stock and $25,734 in tax reimbursement for prior years' service on our board during which Mr. Mooney's previous employer did not allow board compensation to accrue to the benefit of the individual serving on the board.

Our initial Director Compensation Plan was adopted in 2004 by our board to acknowledge and compensate, from time to time, directors on the board for ongoing dedicated service. During 2008, the plan provided for $40,000 per year (prorated for days served and paid quarterly) plus $10,000 per year for each director serving on our Audit Committee.

During 2008, the stock compensation portion of our Director Compensation Plan consisted of a grant of 3,330 shares to a director for a year of service, or a portion of a year of service. Grants are made and vest annually under the plan on June 1 of each year. For 2008, grants of awards were made under our Director Compensation Plan as of June 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, our board anticipated

that grants of awards of 5,000 shares of Class A common stock to each director would be made under the plan as of June 1, 2009. Because the shares vest upon award, they are subject to taxation based upon the then fair market value of the vested shares.

Under our Director Compensation Plan, compensation is to be paid only to those directors who are to receive the benefit individually, whether or not they are our employees.

Except for our Director Compensation Plan, during 2008 the directors on our board received no other direct compensation for serving on the board and its committees. However, they were reimbursed for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board and its committees. The director fee structure as described in this section continued otherwise unchanged through December 31, 2008.

Changes in Control

Pledged Assets and Securities. Our obligations under our credit facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets. Should there be a default by us under such agreements, our lenders could gain control of our assets. We have been at all times since January 1, 2008 and up through December 31, 2008, in compliance with all material terms of these credit facilities. These obligations and pledges are further described in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008 ("Annual Report").

Senior Notes. In February 2004 GCI, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, sold $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior debt securities, and in December 2004 GCI, Inc. sold an additional $70 million in similar debt securities, with the full complement of $320 million due in 2014. The net proceeds from these senior notes were used to repay our then existing $180 million in senior notes, to repay term and revolving portions of our senior credit facility totaling $53.8 million, to repurchase equity from Verizon (at the time of repurchase, MCI), and for other of our ongoing operations.

The senior notes are subject to the terms of an indenture entered into by GCI, Inc. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, GCI, Inc. is required to offer to purchase those senior notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture provides that those senior notes are redeemable at the option of GCI, Inc. at specified

redemption prices commencing in 2009. The terms of the senior notes contain limitations on the ability of GCI, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, limitations on investments, payment of dividends and other restricted payments and limitations on liens, asset sales, mergers, transactions with affiliates and operation of unrestricted subsidiaries. The indenture also limits the ability of GCI, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into or allow to exist specified restrictions on the ability of GCI, Inc. to receive distributions from restricted subsidiaries.

For purposes of the indenture and the senior notes, the restricted subsidiaries consist of all of our direct or indirect subsidiaries, with the exception of the unrestricted subsidiaries, none of which existed as of December 31, 2008. Under the terms of the Indenture an unrestricted subsidiary is a subsidiary of GCI, Inc. so designated from time to time in accordance with procedures as set forth in the Indenture.

We and GCI, Inc. have since the issuance of the senior notes and up through December 31, 2008, been in compliance with all material terms of the Indenture including making timely payments on the obligations of GCI, Inc.

The following table sets forth, as of the end of 2008, information on equity compensation plans approved by our shareholders and separately such plans not approved by our shareholders. The information is focused on outstanding options, warrants and rights, and so the only such plan is our Stock Option Plan as approved by our shareholders.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Certain Transactions

Transactions with Related Persons

Stanton Shareholdings, Registration Rights Agreement. As of December 31, 2008 and as a result of the sale by Verizon of all its shareholdings in our Class B common stock to John W. Stanton and Theresa E. Gillespie, husband and wife (collectively, "Stantons"), the Stantons are significant shareholders of that class of our stock. As of December 31, 2008, neither the Stantons nor the Stantons' affiliates were our directors, officers, nominees for election as directors, or members of the immediate family of such directors, officers, or nominees.

We are a party to a registration rights agreement ("Stanton Registration Rights Agreement") with the Stantons regarding all shares the Stantons hold in our Class B common stock and any shares of our Class A common stock resulting from conversion of that Class B common stock to Class A common stock. The basic terms of the Stanton Registration Rights Agreement are as follows. If we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") for our own account or for the account of one or more of our shareholders, we must notify the Stantons of that intent. In addition, we must allow the Stantons an opportunity to include the holder's shares ("Stanton Registerable Shares") in that registration.

Under the Stanton Registration Rights Agreement, the Stantons also have the right, under certain circumstances, to require us to register all or any portion of the Stanton Registerable Shares under the Securities Act. The agreement is subject to certain limitations and restrictions, including our right to limit the number of Stanton Registerable Shares included in the registration. Generally, we are required to pay all registration expenses in connection with each registration of Stanton Registerable Shares pursuant to this agreement.

The Stanton Registration Rights Agreement specifically states we are not required to effect any registration on behalf of the Stantons regarding Stanton Registerable Shares if the request for registration covers an aggregate number of Stanton Registerable Shares having a market value of less that $1.5 million. The agreement further states we are not required to effect such a registration for the Stantons where we have at that point previously filed two registration statements with the SEC, or where the registration would require us to undergo an interim audit or prepare and file with the SEC sooner than otherwise required financial statements relating to the proposed transaction. Finally, the agreement states we are not required to effect such a registration when in the opinion of our legal counsel a registration is not required

in order to permit resale under Rule 144 as adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act.

The Stanton Registration Rights Agreement provides that the first demand for registration by the Stantons must be for no less than 15% of the total number of Stanton Registerable Shares. However, the Stantons may take the opportunity to require us to include the Stanton Registerable Shares as incidental to a registered offering proposed by us.

Duncan Leases. In 1991, we entered into a long-term capital lease agreement with a partnership in which Mr. Duncan held a 50% ownership interest. Mr. Duncan later sold that interest to an individual who later became his spouse. However, Mr. Duncan remains a guarantor on the note which was used to finance the acquisition of the property subject to the lease. The leased asset was capitalized in 1991 at the owner's cost of $900,000 and the related obligation was recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The lease agreement was amended in 2008, and we have increased our existing capital lease asset and liability by $1.3 million to record the extension of the capital lease. The amended lease terminates on September 30, 2026. The property consists of a building presently occupied by us. As of December 31, 2008, the payments on the lease were $21,532 per month. They continue at that rate through September 2011. In October 2011, the payments on the lease will increase to $22,332 per month.

On September 11, 1997, we purchased, for $150,000, a parcel of property adjoining the property subject to the Duncan Lease. The parcel was purchased to provide space for additional parking facilities for our use of the adjoining property under the previously described lease involving Mr. Duncan. A portion of the parcel, valued at $87,900, was simultaneously deeded to Mr. Duncan's spouse in order to accommodate the platting requirements of the Municipality of Anchorage necessary to allow use of the parcel for parking facilities. In June 1999, we agreed, in exchange for a payment of $135,000, to extend the lease term for an additional five-year term expiring September 30, 2011 at a rental rate of $20,000 per month and to incorporate the adjoining property into the lease agreement. The lease was further amended in 2002 to increase the rental rate in steps with the rate being $21,532 per month for the period October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2011, the end of the base term.

In January 2001, we entered into an aircraft operating lease agreement with a company owned by Mr. Duncan. The lease term is presently month-to-month and may be terminated at any time upon 120 days' prior written notice. The lease rate is $75,000 per month. Upon signing the lease, the lessor was granted an option purchase 250,000 shares of Company Class A common stock at $6.50 per share, of which 150,000 shares of the option remained and were exercisable at December 31, 2008. We paid a deposit of $1.5 million in connection with the lease. The deposit will be repaid to us upon the earlier of six

months after the agreement terminates, or nine months after the date of a termination notice. The lessor may sell to us the stock arising from the exercise of the stock option or surrender the intrinsic value of the right to purchase all or a portion of the stock option to repay the deposit, if allowed by our debt instruments in effect at that time.

Review Procedure for Transactions with Related Persons

The following describes our policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions in which we are to be a participant and where the amount involved in each instance exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest ("Related Transactions"). Here, we use the term "related person" to mean any person who is one of our directors, a nominee for director, an immediate family member of one of our directors or executive officers, any person who is a holder of five percent or more of a class of our common stock, or any immediate family member of such a holder.

A related person who is one of our officers, directors or employees ("Employee") is subject to our Ethics Code. The Ethics Code requires the Employee to act in the best interest of the Company and to avoid situations which may conflict with this obligation. The code specifically provides that a conflict of interest occurs when an Employee's private interest interferes in any way with our interest. In the event an Employee suspects such a conflict, or even an appearance of conflict, he or she is urged by the Ethics Code to report the matter to an appropriate authority. The Ethics Code, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter and the Audit Committee Charter define that authority as being our Chief Financial Officer, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Audit Committee (in the context of suspected illegal or unethical behavior-related violations pertaining to accounting, or internal controls on accounting or audit matters), or the Employee's supervisor within the Company, as the case may be.

The Ethics Code further provides that an Employee is prohibited from taking a personal interest in a business opportunity discovered through use of corporate position, information or property that properly belongs to us. The Ethics Code also provides that an Employee must not compete with, and in particular, must not use corporate position, information, or property for personal gain or to compete with, us.

The Ethics Code provides that any waiver of its provisions for our executive officers and directors may be made only by our board and must be promptly disclosed to our shareholders. This disclosure must include an identification of the person who received the waiver, the date of the grant of the waiver by our board, and a brief description of the circumstances and reasons under which it was given.

The Ethics Code is silent as to the treatment of immediate family members of our Employees, holders of five percent or more of a class of our stock, or the immediate family members of them. We consider such Related Transactions with such persons on a case-by-case basis, if at all, by analogy to existing procedures as above described pertaining to our Employees.

During 2008, there were no Related Transactions. The leases described previously were entered into prior to the establishment of the Ethics Code. See within this item 13, "Certain Transactions – Transactions with Related Persons – Duncan Leases."

Director Independence

We define independent director ("Independent Director") as an individual, other than one of our executive officers or employees, and other than any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of our board would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Mr. Brett, our Chairman of the Board, while in that capacity an officer under our Bylaws and responsible for the conduct of our board meetings and shareholder meetings when present, is considered by our board to have no greater influence on our affairs or authority to act on behalf of us than any of the non-executive directors on our board.

Our board believes each of its members satisfies that definition of an Independent Director, with the exception of Mr. Duncan who is an officer and employee of the Company. That is, in the case of all other board members, our board believes each of them is an individual having a relationship which does not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the member's director responsibilities to us.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Overview

Our Audit Committee has retained KPMG LLP as our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm during 2008. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at our 2009 annual shareholder meeting. The representative will have the opportunity to make a statement, if so desired, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

We have established as policy, through the adoption of the Audit Committee Charter that, before our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm is engaged by us to render audit services, the engagement must be approved by the Audit Committee.

Our Audit Committee Charter provides that our Audit Committee is directly responsible for appointment, compensation, retention, oversight, qualifications and independence of our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm. Also under our Audit Committee Charter, all audit services provided by our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm must be preapproved by the Audit Committee.

Our pre-approval policies and procedures with respect to Non-Audit Services include as a part of the Audit Committee Charter that the Audit Committee may choose any of the following options for approving such services:

·	Full Audit Committee – The full Audit Committee can consider each Non-Audit Service.

·	Designee – The Audit Committee can designate one of its members to approve a Non-Audit Service, with that member reporting approvals to the full committee.

·	Pre-Approval of Categories – The Audit Committee can pre-approve categories of Non-Audit Services. Should this option be chosen, the categories must be specific enough to ensure both of the following –

o	The Audit Committee knows exactly what it is approving and can determine the effect of such approval on auditor independence.

o	Management will not find it necessary to decide whether a specific service falls within a category of pre-approved Non-Audit Service.

The Audit Committee's pre-approval of Non-Audit Services may be waived under specific provisions of the Audit Committee Charter. The prerequisites for waiver are as follows: (1) the aggregate amount of all Non-Audit Services constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenue paid by us to our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm during the fiscal year in which those services are provided; (2) the service is originally thought to be a part of an audit by our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm; (3) the service turns out to be a Non-Audit Service; and (4) the service is promptly brought

to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to completion of the audit by the committee or by one or more members of the committee who are members of our board to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the committee.

During 2008, there were no waivers of our Audit Committee pre-approval policy.

Fees and Services

KPMG LLP has, as our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm, provided certain audit, audit-related, and tax services. The aggregate fees billed to us by our Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm in each of these categories for each of 2008 and 2007 are set forth as follows:
