Liberty Global Exceeds 95% of Ordinary Ziggo Shares and will Commence Statutory Squeeze-out

Liberty Global plc (“Liberty Global”) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK) and Ziggo N.V. (“Ziggo”) today announce that Liberty Global has acquired more than 95% of the outstanding Ziggo ordinary shares (“Shares”) and will pursue delisting of Ziggo and commence statutory squeeze-out procedures as described in more detail below. During the previously announced recommended public offer (the “Offer”) by LGE HoldCo VII B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global, to Ziggo shareholders (“Shareholders”), 74.9% of the Shares have been tendered (including during the post-closing acceptance period as described below) and, as a result, Liberty Global now holds 95.6% of the total issued share capital of Ziggo.

Shareholders who have not tendered their Shares under the Offer may tender their Shares in the previously announced post-closing acceptance period (na-aanmeldingstermijn) that commenced on November 6, 2014 and expires at 17:40 hours CET (11:40 a.m. hours EST) on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 (the “Post-Closing Acceptance Period”). Shareholders can tender their Shares during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period in the same manner and subject to the same terms and restrictions as described in the Offer Memorandum dated June 27, 2014 and the U.S. prospectus/offer to exchange dated August 19, 2014. Shares tendered during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period will be accepted immediately and, accordingly, Shareholders who tender their Shares during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period will not have withdrawal rights. Liberty Global will arrange for payment against delivery (levering) for the Shares that are validly tendered during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period on the third business day after the day on which such Shares are tendered.

As a result of the acquisition by Liberty Global of more than 95% of the Shares, Liberty Global and Ziggo jointly announce that they will terminate the listing and trading of the Shares on Euronext Amsterdam as soon as possible in consultation with Euronext Amsterdam. In addition, Liberty Global will initiate a statutory squeeze-out procedure in accordance with article 2:359c and 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code as soon as possible, in order to acquire the remaining Shares not tendered and not held by Liberty Global.
