Liberty Global Launches LiLAC Tracking Stock

• Advanced cable platforms well-positioned to exploit organic growth potential, as well as M&A opportunities across the region

• Trading will begin tomorrow, July 2, 2015, at 09:30 a.m. EDT

Denver, Colorado – July 1, 2015:

Liberty Global plc (“Liberty Global”) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK) today announced that it completed its previously announced distribution of the tracking stock for its operations in Latin America and the Caribbean (the “LiLAC Group”) to shareholders. These ordinary shares will begin regular-way trading on July 2, 2015, at 09:30 a.m. EDT. The LiLAC Class A (LILA) and Class C (LILAK) ordinary shares will trade on NASDAQ, and the LiLAC Class B (LILAB) ordinary shares will trade on OTC Link. The Liberty Global Class A, Class B and Class C ordinary shares will continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbols LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK, respectively.

Mike Fries, CEO of Liberty Global, stated, “The launch of our LiLAC tracking stock is an exciting event, which we believe will enhance long-term equity value for shareholders. Our cable operations in Chile and Puerto Rico are two of the most advanced platforms in the region. Both businesses have consistently delivered strong financial results and should continue to generate mid- to high-single-digit rebased OCF growth going forward. LiLAC is also uniquely positioned to exploit the highly fragmented landscape characterized by low broadband and pay TV penetrations.”

The LiLAC Group tracking stock forms a “pure-play” cable stock focused on Latin America and the Caribbean, giving shareholders the opportunity to invest directly in the region. The LiLAC Group initially has attributed to it Liberty Global’s Chilean business, VTR, the largest cable operator in Chile, as well as our 60% interest in the largest cable company in Puerto Rico, Liberty Cablevision. The entities comprising the LiLAC Group also have $100 million of cash provided by Liberty Global in order to provide liquidity to fund, amongst other things, ongoing operating costs and acquisitions. Following the completion of the Choice acquisition on June 3, 2015, LiLAC now passes over 4 million homes, serving approximately 3.4 million revenue generating units (“RGUs)¹ and generating over $1.2 billion of annual revenue. For more information please see the LiLAC Group presentation posted on June 30, 2015, in the presentations and webcasts section in the Investor Relations section of our website www.libertyglobal.com.

Distribution of LiLAC Tracking Stock to Shareholders

At the close of trading today, July 1, 2015, Liberty Global distributed, as a dividend (or a “bonus issue” under U.K. law), to holders of its Class A, Class B and Class C ordinary shares as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 24, 2015 (the “record date”), one share of the corresponding class of LiLAC Group ordinary shares for each 20 Liberty Global ordinary shares held by each shareholder as of the record date. We distributed approximately 12.6 million LILA, 0.5 million LILAB and 30.8 million LILAK shares in total. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional LiLAC Group ordinary shares.
