Virgin Media Investment Holdings Limited (“VMIH”), as borrower, and The Bank of Nova Scotia as facility agent (the “Facility Agent”), among others, are parties to a Senior Facilities Agreement, originally dated June 7, 2013, (as last amended and restated July 30, 2015, the “Credit Agreement”) VMIH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global plc. On April 19, 2017, VMIH, acting for itself and as agent for each of the other obligors, and the Facility Agent entered into an amendment letter (the “Amendment Letter”) to amend and restate the Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement, as amended and restated, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used below shall have the meaning given to them in the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amendment Letter amends and restates in full the Credit Agreement to, among other things, make changes to the financial covenants, widen the scope of certain exceptions to the negative covenants, revise the change of control provision to allow for certain internal restructurings, amend certain default provisions and make administrative and consequential changes. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for the future incurrence of additional term loan and revolving credit facilities thereunder; however, no additional indebtedness was incurred at the time of the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement.

All other terms of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect under the Amended Credit Agreement, and all loans and commitments outstanding under the Credit Agreement continue to be outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amended Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof set forth in Exhibit 4.1.
