**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**September 30, 2025**

**(unaudited)**

**(1) <u>Basis of Presentation</u>**

Liberty Global Ltd. (**Liberty Global**) is a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares. In these notes, the terms "we," "our," "our company" and "us" may refer, as the context requires, to Liberty Global or collectively to Liberty Global and its subsidiaries. We are an international provider of broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and mobile communications services to residential customers and businesses in Europe and are an active investor across the infrastructure, content and technology industries. We also provide innovative technology solutions and finance services.

Our continuing operations comprise businesses that provide residential and business-to-business (**B2B**) communications services in (i) Belgium and Luxembourg through certain wholly-owned subsidiaries that we collectively refer to as "**Telenet**" and (ii) Ireland through another wholly-owned subsidiary (**VM Ireland**). In addition, we own 50% noncontrolling interests in (a) a 50:50 joint venture (the **VMO2 JV**) with Telefónica SA (**Telefónica**), which provides residential and B2B communications services in the United Kingdom (**U.K.**), and (b) a 50:50 joint venture (the **VodafoneZiggo JV**) with Vodafone Group plc (**Vodafone**), which provides residential and B2B communications services in the Netherlands.

Prior to the completion of the Spin-off on November 8, 2024 (as defined and described in note 4), we also provided residential and B2B communications services in Switzerland through operations referred to as "**Sunrise**." Sunrise, together with certain other Liberty Global subsidiaries connected to our Swiss business, are collectively referred to as the "**Sunrise Entities**" and are reflected as discontinued operations for all applicable periods.

On October 2, 2024, we completed the Formula E Acquisition (as defined and described in note 4), pursuant to which we acquired a controlling interest in Formula E Holdings Ltd. (**Formula E**) and began consolidating 100% of Formula E's results from that date.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (**GAAP**) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP or Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2024 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended (our **2024 10-K**).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things, the valuation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities, allowances for uncollectible accounts, certain components of revenue, programming and copyright costs, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair value measurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, lease terms, useful lives of long-lived assets, share-based compensation and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Unless otherwise indicated, ownership percentages and convenience translations into United States (**U.S.**) dollars are calculated as of September 30, 2025.

**(2) <u>Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements</u>**

***Accounting Changes***

*ASU 2023-09*

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the **FASB**) issued Accounting Standards Update (**ASU**) No. 2023-09, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* (**ASU 2023-09**), which is intended to enhance the transparency of income tax matters within financial statements, providing stakeholders with a clearer understanding of tax positions and their associated risks and uncertainties. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a specific quantitative threshold. We adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis, and will provide revised disclosures for all periods presented in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional information concerning our income taxes, see note 11.

*ASU 2023-07*

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, *Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures* (**ASU 2023-07**), which aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures regarding significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires public companies to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires a public entity to disclose, on an annual and interim basis for each reportable segment, an amount for other segment items and a description of its composition. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. We adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024, and the information presented in note 16 reflects the enhanced disclosures.

*ASU 2023-05*

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05*, Business Combinations — Joint Venture Formations: Recognition and Initial Measurement* (**ASU 2023-05**), which outlines updates to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture as defined by the FASB. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to measure its assets and liabilities at fair value upon formation. We adopted ASU 2023-05 on January 1, 2025.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

*ASU 2025-06* 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software* (**ASU 2025-06**), which revises the guidance for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software. The amendments replace the prior stage-based model with a principles-based approach, removing all references to project stages and instead focusing on the two remaining criteria for capitalization, being (i) management has authorized and committed to the funding for the software project and (ii) it is probable a project will be completed and used as intended. Until both of these criteria are met, all software development costs should be expensed as incurred. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the amendments prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on our consolidated financial statements, but we do not expect the impact to be significant.

**(unaudited)**

*ASU 2025-05* 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, *Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets* (**ASU 2025-05**), which provides a practical expedient for all entities to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain through the reasonable and supportable forecast period for eligible assets. Entities will continue to be required to adjust the historical data used in the estimation of credit losses to reflect current conditions. If elected, the practical expedient should be applied consistently to all eligible accounts receivable and contract assets. Additionally, entities that have elected the practical expedient must disclose their decision to do so. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 on our consolidated financial statements.

*ASU 2025-03*

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, *Business Combinations and Consolidation: Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquistion of a Variable Interest Entity* (**ASU 2025-03**), which clarifies the requirements for identifying the accounting acquirer when a variable interest entity (**VIE**) that qualifies as a business is acquired primarily through an exchange of equity interests. This amendment does not change the existing guidance for acquisitions of VIEs that are not considered businesses. ASU 2025-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-03 should be applied prospectively to all business combinations with acquisition dates occurring on or after the date of initial application. We do not expect ASU 2025-03 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

*ASU 2024-03*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE)* (**ASU 2024-03**), which requires disclosure of certain categories of expenses such as the purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization that are components of existing expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied prospectively, however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on our disclosures.

**(3) <u>Revenue Recognition and Related Costs</u>**

***Contract Balances***

The timing of our recognition of revenue may differ from the timing of invoicing our customers. We record a trade receivable when we have transferred goods or services to a customer but have not yet received payment. Our trade receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such allowance aggregated $34.5 million and $20.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

If we transfer goods or services to a customer but do not have an unconditional right to payment, we record a contract asset. Contract assets typically arise from the uniform recognition of introductory promotional discounts over the contract period and accrued revenue for handset sales. Our contract assets were $11.1 million and $9.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The current and long-term portions of our contract asset balances are included within other current assets and other assets, net, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We record deferred revenue when we receive payment prior to transferring goods or services to a customer. We primarily defer revenue for (i) installation and other upfront services and (ii) other services that are invoiced prior to when services are provided. Our deferred revenue balances were $290.6 million and $289.5 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to the net effect of (a) the recognition of $286.9 million of revenue that was included in our deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2024 and (b) the impact of additions during the period. The long-term portions of our deferred revenue balances are included within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

***Unsatisfied Performance Obligations***

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from subscription service contracts with an initial duration of less than 12 months. As such, the amount of revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations is not necessarily indicative of future revenue to be recognized from our existing customers. Revenue from customers who are subject to contracts is generally recognized over the term of such contracts, which is typically 12 months for our residential service contracts, one to three years for our mobile service contracts and one to five years for our B2B service contracts. The average remaining contractual term for B2B non-subscription services is approximately three years.

**(4) <u>Acquisitions and Dispositions</u>**

***Formula E Acquisition***

On October 2, 2024 (the **Formula E Acquisition Date**), we gained control of Formula E through the acquisition of the Formula E shares held by Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (**Warner Bros. Discovery**) and certain other minority shareholders, which increased our ownership interest in Formula E from 38.2% to 65.6% (the **Formula E Acquisition**). The purchase price for these additional shares totaled €150.0 million ($165.7 million at the transaction date). We also acquired Warner Bros. Discovery's €50.0 million ($55.6 million at the transaction date) shareholder loan to Formula E upon closing of the transaction. Liberty Global began consolidating 100% of Formula E's results from the Formula E Acquisition Date.

We have accounted for the Formula E Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets of Formula E based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill.

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred as part of the Formula E Acquisition (in millions):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Purchase consideration (a) | $221.3 |
| Fair value of pre-existing investment in Formula E (b) | $316.6 |
| Fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Formula E (c) | $209.0 |

---

_______________

(a)Represents the total purchase consideration in connection with the Formula E Acquisition, which includes the shareholder loan acquired from Warner Bros. Discovery, as described above.

(b)Represents the fair value of our pre-existing investment in Formula E immediately prior to the Formula E Acquisition, including our €80.5 million ($88.9 million at the Formula E Acquisition Date) shareholder loan to Formula E.

(c)Represents the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Formula E as of the Formula E Acquisition Date.

_______________

(a)In connection with the Formula E Acquisition, we acquired $22.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash.

(b)Amount primarily includes an intangible asset related to a licensing agreement with the Federation Internationale l'Automobile (**FIA**) that provides Formula E with the exclusive rights to operate an electric motor racing championship. The weighted average remaining useful life of Formula E's intangible assets is approximately 22 years.

(c)The goodwill recognized in connection with the Formula E Acquisition primarily represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, value associated with future sponsors, continued innovation and non-contractual relationships.

***Pro Forma Information***

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 give effect to the Formula E Acquisition as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2023. These pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the Formula E Acquisition had occurred on such date, and are based on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable.

***Spin-off***

On November 8, 2024, we completed the Spin-off, following a series of transactions that resulted in the transfer of the Sunrise Entities to an independent, separate publicly-traded Swiss company, Sunrise Communications AG (the **Spin-off**). No gain or loss was recognized in connection with the Spin-off.

The Spin-off was accomplished through the distribution of Sunrise common shares, in the form of Sunrise American depository shares (**ADSs**), to Liberty Global shareholders. Liberty Global shareholders received one Sunrise Class A ADS for every five Liberty Global Class A or Class C common shares and two Sunrise Class B ADSs for each Liberty Global Class B common share.

In connection with the Spin-off, we agreed to provide certain services to Sunrise on a transitional or ongoing basis (collectively, the **Sunrise Services**). The agreements underlying the Sunrise Services expire between 2027 and 2029. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded revenue of $154.1 million associated with the Sunrise Services, including $98.3 million related to fixed fees and $55.8 million related to the sale of customer premises equipment (**CPE**) and other variable charges.

_______________

(a)Represents our economic ownership based on total shares owned as a percentage of total shares outstanding as of the most recent balance sheet date or the most recent publicly-available information.

(b)Our equity method investments are originally recorded at cost and are adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliates as they occur rather than as dividend distributions are received, with our recognition of losses generally limited to the extent of our investment in, and loans and commitments to, the investee. Accordingly, the carrying values of our equity method investments may not equal their respective fair values. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate carrying amounts of our equity method investments exceeded our proportionate share of the respective investee's net assets by $1,028.1 million and $901.2 million, respectively, related to amounts associated with the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables, as defined below.

**LIBERTY GLOBAL LTD.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

**(unaudited)**

(c)Amounts include certain notes receivable due from a subsidiary of the VodafoneZiggo JV to a subsidiary of Liberty Global, comprising (i) a €700.0 million note receivable ($823.0 million and $724.4 million equivalent at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively) (the **VodafoneZiggo JV Receivable I**) and (ii) a €207.9 million note receivable ($244.4 million and $215.1 million equivalent at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively) (the **VodafoneZiggo JV Receivable II** and, together with the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivable I, the **VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables**). The VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables bear interest at a rate of 5.55% and have a final maturity date of December 31, 2030. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest accrued on the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables was €36.4 million ($42.8 million), all of which has been cash settled.

(d)Liberty Global owns a 50% noncontrolling voting interest in the AtlasEdge JV.

(e)Liberty Global owns a 25% noncontrolling voting interest in the nexfibre JV.

(f)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 or 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 sheet, was $7.2 million.

(g)Our investment in EdgeConneX is held through two distinct limited partnerships (**LPs**), Herndon Topco and McNair Topco. The ownership percentages in EdgeConneX are 4.3% and 3.4% for Herndon TopCo and McNair TopCo, respectively. The combined investment in EdgeConneX through these LPs results in a weighted ownership percentage of 4.2%. This calculation considers the individual ownership percentages and the respective investment amounts in each LP.

(h)Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we disposed of approximately one-half of our interest in ITV, reducing our economic ownership interest in ITV to 5.0%. We received aggregate cash proceeds of approximately £135.4 million ($180.8 million) from the sale.

(i)Our investment in Plume includes warrants with a fair value of $18.9 million and $24.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(j)On May 7, 2025, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: LGF.A and LGF.B) completed the full separation (the **Lionsgate Separation**) of its studio and network business into two independent, publicly traded companies, Lionsgate Studios Corp. (**Lionsgate**) and Starz Entertainment Corp. (**Starz**). All previous Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. shares have been exchanged for shares in the new companies, Lionsgate (NASDAQ: LION) and Starz (NASDAQ: STRZ). For periods following the separation, our investment in Starz is reflected in 'Other' fair value investments in the above table.

(k)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 had the right to re-use pledged Vodafone shares prior to the full settlement described below. 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). In July 2025, we entered into an amendment agreement, which resulted in a non-cash transaction whereby our remaining Vodafone shares were delivered in full settlement of the Vodafone Collar and Vodafone Collar Loan. For additional information regarding the Vodafone Collar and the Vodafone Collar Loan, see notes 6 and 9, respectively.

*VMO2 JV* 

Pursuant to an agreement (the **U.K. JV Framework Agreement**), Liberty Global provides certain services to the VMO2 JV on a transitional or ongoing basis (collectively, the **U.K. JV Services**). The agreements underlying the U.K. JV Services expire between 2027 and 2029. The U.K. JV Services provided by Liberty Global consist primarily of (i) technology and other services and (ii) capital-related expenditures for assets that will be used by, or will otherwise benefit, the VMO2 JV. Liberty Global charges both fixed and variable fees to the VMO2 JV for the U.K. JV Services provided pursuant to the U.K. JV Framework Agreement. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $72.2 million and $37.5 million, respectively, was due from the VMO2 JV related to the aforementioned transactions.

*VodafoneZiggo JV*

Pursuant to an agreement (the **NL JV Framework Agreement**), Liberty Global provides certain services to the VodafoneZiggo JV (collectively, the **NL JV Services**). The NL JV Services provided by Liberty Global consist primarily of (i) technology and other services and (ii) capital-related expenditures for assets that will be used by, or will otherwise benefit, the VodafoneZiggo JV. Liberty Global charges both fixed and usage-based fees to the VodafoneZiggo JV for the NL JV Services provided pursuant to the NL JV Framework Agreement. We recorded revenue from the VodafoneZiggo JV of $56.1 million and $42.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $150.4 million and $164.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily related to (a) the NL JV Services and (b) the sale of CPE to the VodafoneZiggo JV at a mark-up. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $49.8 million and $18.5 million, respectively, was due from the VodafoneZiggo JV related to the aforementioned transactions. The amounts due from the VodafoneZiggo JV, which are periodically cash settled, are included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The VodafoneZiggo JV is experiencing significant competition in both its fixed-line and mobile operations. If the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause significant deterioration of the results of operations or cash flows of the VodafoneZiggo JV, we could conclude in future periods that our investment in the VodafoneZiggo JV is impaired or management of the VodafoneZiggo JV could conclude that an impairment of the VodafoneZiggo JV goodwill and, to a lesser extent, long-lived assets, is required. Any such impairment of the VodafoneZiggo JV's goodwill or our investment in the VodafoneZiggo JV would be reflected as a component of share of results of affiliates, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Our share of any such impairment charges could be significant.

(a)Amounts represent an investment in a leveraged structured note issued by a third-party investment bank, which is accounted for at fair value and has a scheduled maturity date of October 1, 2026. The return on the leveraged structured note is based on changes in the fair value of a proportionate amount of debt issued by various Liberty Global consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (including the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV). The proportionate amount of debt associated with the return on the leveraged structured note may change from time to time as a result of open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or prepayments, in each case, completed by Liberty Global consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates. While the structured note itself contains leverage, our at-risk investment is the estimated fair value as reported. The proportionate amount of debt issued by Liberty Global consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates associated with the return on the leveraged structured note is summarized in the following table:

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

**September 30, 2025**

**(unaudited)**

We received proceeds from the sale and maturities of debt securities of nil and $0.9 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.7 billion and $3.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The sale of debt securities resulted in realized net gains (losses) of nil and ($4.5 million) during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.5 million and ($14.6 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Our investment portfolio is subject to various macroeconomic pressures and has experienced significant volatility, which affects both our non-public and publicly-traded investments. Changes in the fair values of these investments, including changes with respect to interest rates within our local jurisdictions, are likely to continue and could be significant.

**(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Derivative Instruments</u>**

In general, we enter into derivative instruments to protect against (i) increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt, (ii) foreign currency movements, particularly with respect to borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the borrowing entity, and (iii) decreases in the market prices of certain publicly-traded securities that we own. In this regard, through our subsidiaries, we have entered into various derivative instruments to manage interest rate exposure and foreign currency exposure primarily with respect to the U.S. dollar (**$**), the euro (**€**) and the British pound sterling (**£**). Generally, we only apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments in limited circumstances. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of most of our derivative instruments are recorded in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities:

(a)Our long-term derivative assets and current and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other assets, net, other accrued and current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(b)We consider credit risk relating to our and our counterparties' nonperformance in the fair value assessment of our derivative instruments. In all cases, the adjustments take into account offsetting liability or asset positions within each of our subsidiary borrowing groups (as defined and described in note 9). The changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains (losses) of ($6.1 million) and $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3.3 million and ($2.0 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are included

***Counterparty Credit Risk***

We are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the derivative instruments of our subsidiary borrowing groups will default on their obligations to us. We manage these credit risks through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. In this regard, credit risk associated with our derivative instruments is spread across a relatively broad counterparty base of banks and financial institutions, however notwithstanding, given the size of our derivative portfolio, the default of certain counterparties could have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations. Collateral is generally not posted by either party under our derivative instruments. At September 30, 2025, our exposure to counterparty credit risk included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $81.5 million.

**Details of our Derivative Instruments** 

***Cross-currency Swap Contracts***

We generally match the denomination of our subsidiaries' borrowings with the functional currency of the supporting operations or, when it is more cost effective, we provide for an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate movements by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency. At September 30, 2025, substantially all of our debt was either directly or synthetically matched to the applicable functional currencies of the underlying operations. The following table sets forth the total notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our cross-currency swap contracts at September 30, 2025:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Notional amount<br>due from counterparty** | **Notional amount <br>due to counterparty** | **Notional amount <br>due to counterparty** | **Notional amount <br>due to counterparty** | **Weighted average remaining life** |

(a)Includes certain derivative instruments that are "forward-starting," such that the initial exchange occurs at a date subsequent to September 30, 2025. These instruments are typically entered into in order to extend existing hedges without the need to amend existing contracts.

***Interest Rate Swap Contracts***

***Interest Rate Swap Options***

We have entered into various interest rate swap options (**swaptions**), which give either us or the bank the right, but not the obligation, to enter into certain interest rate swap contracts at set dates in the future, with each such contract having a life of no more than five years. At the transaction date, where we have bought the swaption, the strike rate of the contract was above the corresponding market rate. Where the bank has bought the swaption, the strike rate was below the corresponding market rate. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our swaptions at September 30, 2025:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

_______________

(a)Represents the weighted average period until the date on which we have the option to enter into the interest rate swap contracts.

(b)Represents the weighted average interest rate that we would pay if either we or our counterparties exercised our respective options to enter into the interest rate swap contracts.

***Basis Swaps***

Our basis swaps involve the exchange of attributes used to calculate our floating interest rates, including (i) the benchmark rate, (ii) the underlying currency and/or (iii) the borrowing period. We typically enter into these swaps to optimize our interest rate profile based on our current evaluations of yield curves, our risk management policies and other factors. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our basis swap contracts at September 30, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Notional amount due from counterparty** | **Weighted average remaining life** |
|  | **in millions** | **in years** |
| Telenet | $3600.0 | 0.3 |
| VM Ireland | $1058.1 | 0.3 |

---

***Interest Rate Caps, Floors and Collars***

From time to time, we enter into interest rate cap, floor and collar agreements. Purchased interest rate caps and collars lock in a maximum interest rate if variable rates rise, but also allow our company to benefit, to a limited extent in the case of collars, from declines in market rates. Purchased interest rate floors protect us from interest rates falling below a certain level, generally to match a floating rate floor on a debt instrument. At September 30, 2025, we had no interest rate collar agreements, and the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts of our purchased interest rate caps and floors were $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.

_______________

(a)Represents the effect of derivative instruments in effect at September 30, 2025 and does not include forward-starting derivative instruments or swaptions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***Foreign Currency Forwards and Options***

Certain of our subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts with respect to non-functional currency exposure. As of September 30, 2025, the total U.S. dollar equivalent of the notional amounts of our foreign currency forward and option contracts was $213.4 million.

**(7)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Fair Value Measurements</u>**

We use the fair value method to account for (i) certain of our investments and (ii) our derivative instruments. The reported fair values of these investments and derivative instruments as of September 30, 2025 are unlikely to represent the value that will be paid or received upon the ultimate settlement or disposition of these assets and liabilities.

GAAP provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. We record transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of the quarter during which the transfer occurred. During the second quarter of 2025, the Vodafone Collar transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 and, as further described in note 5, was fully settled during the third quarter of 2025.

We use a Monte Carlo based approach to incorporate a credit risk valuation adjustment in our fair value measurements to estimate the impact of both our own nonperformance risk and the nonperformance risk of our counterparties. Our credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to our cross-currency and interest rate swap contracts are quantified and further explained in note 6.

Fair value measurements are also used for nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with acquisition accounting and impairment assessments. These nonrecurring valuations include the valuation of reporting units, customer relationships and other intangible assets, property and equipment and the implied value of goodwill. The valuation of reporting units is based on an income-based approach (discounted cash flows) using assumptions in our long-range business plans or a market-based approach (current multiples of comparable public companies and guideline transactions) and, in some cases, a combination of an income-based approach and a market-based approach. With the exception of certain inputs for our weighted average cost of capital and discount rate calculations that are derived from pricing services, the inputs used in our discounted cash flow analyses, such as forecasts of future cash flows, including inputs with respect to revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin (as defined in note 16), and terminal growth rates, are based on our assumptions. The valuation of customer relationships is primarily based on an excess earnings methodology, which is a form of a discounted cash flow analysis. The excess earnings methodology requires us to estimate the specific cash flows expected from the customer relationship, considering such factors as estimated customer life, the revenue expected to be generated over the life of the customer relationship, contributory asset

charges and other factors. Tangible assets are typically valued using a replacement or reproduction cost approach, considering factors such as current prices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment and economic obsolescence. The implied value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination, with the residual amount allocated to goodwill. Most of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not perform any significant nonrecurring fair value measurements.

For additional information concerning our fair value measurements, see note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K.

A summary of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

***Property and Equipment, Net***

The details of our property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are set forth below:

| Accumulated depreciation | (6052.0) | (4737.8) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total property and equipment, net | $5165.3 | $4326.0 |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded non-cash increases to our property and equipment related to vendor financing arrangements of $72.7 million and $59.3 million, respectively, which exclude related value-added taxes (**VAT**) of $12.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, that were also financed under these arrangements.

***Goodwill***

Changes in the carrying amount of our goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are set forth below:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **January 1, 2025** | **Acquisitions<br>and related<br>adjustments** | **Foreign<br>currency<br>translation<br>adjustments and other** | **September 30,<br>2025** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $3152.6 | $31.0 | $431.5 | $3615.1 |

---

If, among other factors, the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets. Any such impairment charges could be significant.

(a)Represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at September 30, 2025 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument, including any applicable margin. The interest rates presented represent stated rates and do not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. Including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of deferred financing costs and certain other obligations that we assumed in connection with certain acquisitions, the weighted average interest rate on our aggregate variable- and fixed-rate indebtedness was 3.83% at September 30, 2025. The weighted average interest rate calculation includes principal amounts outstanding associated with all of our secured and unsecured borrowings. For information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 6.

(b)Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at September 30, 2025 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. The following table provides our borrowing availability and amounts available to loan or distribute in accordance with the terms of the respective subsidiary facilities (i) at September 30, 2025 and (ii) upon completion of the relevant September 30, 2025 compliance reporting requirements.

(c)Unused borrowing capacity under the Telenet Credit Facility comprises (i) €580.0 million ($681.9 million) under Telenet Revolving Facility I (as defined below), (ii) €25.0 million ($29.4 million) under the Telenet Overdraft Facility and (iii) €20.0 million ($23.5 million) under the Telenet Revolving Facility, each of which were undrawn at September 30, 2025. In June 2025, the underlying credit agreement was amended to (a) combine Telenet Revolving Facility A and Telenet Revolving Facility B into a single revolving facility (**Telenet Revolving Facility I**) with a final maturity date of May 31, 2029 and (b) increase total commitments under Telenet Revolving Facility I by €30.0 million ($35.3 million). In August 2025, commitments under Telenet Revolving Facility I were decreased by €20.0 million in conjunction with the execution of the Wyre Capex Facility (as defined and described under *Financing Transactions* below), reducing the maximum borrowing capacity of Telenet Revolving Facility I from €600.0 million ($705.4 million) to €580.0 million.

(d)Unused borrowing capacity under the VM Ireland Credit Facility relates to €100.0 million ($117.6 million) under the VM Ireland Revolving Facility, which was undrawn at September 30, 2025. In March 2025, commitments under the VM Ireland Revolving Facility were increased by €11.1 million ($13.0 million). The VM Ireland Revolving Facility now provides for maximum borrowing capacity of €100.0 million.

(e)Represents amounts owed to various creditors pursuant to interest-bearing vendor financing arrangements that are used to finance certain of our property and equipment additions and operating expenses. These arrangements extend our repayment terms beyond a vendor's original due dates (e.g., extension beyond a vendor's customary payment terms, which are generally 90 days or less) and as such are classified outside of accounts payable as debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These obligations are generally due within one year and include VAT that was also financed under these arrangements. For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, operating-related expenses financed by an intermediary are treated as constructive operating cash outflows and constructive financing cash inflows when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor as there is no actual cash outflow until we pay the financing intermediary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the constructive cash outflow included in cash flows from operating activities and the corresponding constructive cash inflow included in cash flows from financing activities related to these operating expenses were $251.6 million and $291.9 million, respectively. Repayments of vendor financing obligations at the time we pay the financing intermediary are included in repayments and repurchases of debt and finance lease obligations in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

(f)As further described in note 5, the Vodafone Collar Loan was fully settled in 2025, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $12.1 million (including $11.2 million during the third quarter) related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts.

(g)As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, amounts include (i) $226.4 million and $195.8 million, respectively, of debt collateralized by certain trade receivables of Telenet and (ii) $437.4 million and $390.5 million, respectively, of

liabilities related to Telenet's acquisition of mobile spectrum licenses. Telenet will make annual payments for the license fees over the terms of the respective licenses.

(h)As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt had an estimated fair value of $8.5 billion and $9.0 billion, respectively. The estimated fair values of our debt instruments are generally determined using the average of applicable bid and ask prices (mostly Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). For additional information regarding fair value hierarchies, see note 7.

***General Information***

At September 30, 2025, most of our outstanding debt had been incurred by one of our two subsidiary "borrowing groups." References to these borrowing groups, which comprise Telenet and VM Ireland, include their respective restricted parent and subsidiary entities. Below we provide summary descriptions of certain financing transactions completed during 2025. For information regarding the general terms and conditions of our debt and capitalized terms not defined herein, see note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K.

***Financing Transactions***

In February 2025, Telenet entered into a €500.0 million ($587.8 million) sustainability-linked term loan facility (**Telenet Facility AU**). Telenet Facility AU was issued at 99.75% of par, matures on March 31, 2033 and bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR + 3.0%, subject to a EURIBOR floor of 0.0%. The interest rate on Telenet Facility AU is subject to adjustment based on Telenet's achievement or otherwise of certain Environmental, Social and Governance metrics. The net proceeds from Telenet Facility AU were used to refinance €500.0 million of the €890.0 million ($1,046.3 million) outstanding principal amount under Telenet Facility AT1. In connection with this transaction, Telenet recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $8.0 million related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts.

In August 2025, a subsidiary of Telenet (**Wyre**) entered into a €500.0 million standalone capital expenditure term loan facility (the **Wyre Capex Facility**). The Wyre Capex Facility bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR + 2.75%, subject to a EURIBOR floor of 0.0%, and matures five years after the initial drawdown, which has yet to occur. The maturity date may be extended by Wyre two additional times, each extending the maturity date by one year. When drawn, the proceeds from the Wyre Capex Facility will be used to fund the roll-out of Wyre's fiber network and for general corporate purposes. Accordingly, unused borrowing capacity at September 30, 2025 excludes the availability under the Wyre Capex Facility.

Telenet will act as an agent over the construction of future towers on the build-to-suit sites.

**(11)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Income Taxes</u>**

Liberty Global is a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and is not considered to be a tax resident in any other jurisdiction or country. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (the **CIT Act**) which provides for the taxation of the Bermuda constituent entities of certain large multinational groups beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Prior to 2025, we used the U.K. statutory rate to compute our "expected" income tax benefit or expense, as management considered this rate to be more meaningful given that Bermuda did not impose an income tax in those periods. As the CIT Act is now in effect, we will use the Bermuda statutory rate of 15.0% to compute our expected income tax benefit or expense for 2025 and all future periods.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 36.0% (income tax benefit of $46.9 million), which differs from the Bermuda statutory rate of 15.0% (income tax benefit of $19.6 million). This difference is primarily due to the positive impacts of (i) a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of $46.4 million (35.6%) and (ii) statutory rates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate that are different than the Bermuda statutory rate, including $14.5 million (11.1%) in the U.K. The positive impacts of these items were partially offset by the negative impacts of (a) a net increase in valuation allowances in the U.K. of $23.0 million (17.7%) and (b) non-deductible net income from investments in certain subsidiaries and affiliates in the U.K. and Netherlands of $9.2 million (7.1%).

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 2.7% (income tax benefit of $116.0 million), which differs from the Bermuda statutory rate of 15.0% (income tax benefit of $644.5 million). This difference is primarily due to the negative impacts of (i) non-deductible net foreign currency exchange losses in the U.K. of $899.9 million (20.9%) and (ii) non-deductible net losses from investments in certain subsidiaries and affiliates in the U.K. and Netherlands of $122.0 million (2.8%). The negative impacts of these items were partially offset by the positive impacts of (a) statutory rates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate that are different than the Bermuda statutory rate, including $406.8 million (9.5%) in the U.K., and (b) the release of valuation allowances in Luxembourg of $86.0 million (2.0%).

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 0.8% (income tax benefit of $11.2 million), which differs from the U.K. statutory rate of 25.0% (income tax benefit of $358.7 million). This difference is primarily due to the negative impacts of (i) non-deductible net foreign currency exchange losses in the U.K. of $267.2 million (18.6%) and (ii) and non-deductible net losses from investments in the Netherlands of $62.3 million (4.3%).

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was (14.8%) (income tax expense of $59.8 million), which differs from the U.K. statutory rate of 25.0% (income tax benefit of $101.3 million). This difference is primarily due to the negative impacts of (i) certain non-taxable or non-deductible items in the Netherlands, the U.K. and Belgium of $76.6 million (18.9%), (ii) non-deductible net losses from investments in the Netherlands of $57.2 million (14.1%) and (iii) non-deductible net foreign currency exchange losses in the U.K. of $54.3 million (13.4%). The negative impacts of these items were partially offset by the positive impact of a net decrease in valuation allowances in the U.K. and Netherlands of $41.3 million (10.2%).

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the **OBBBA**) was enacted in the U.S., introducing various changes to federal tax law. We have evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA and determined that they did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements through September 30, 2025, nor do we currently anticipate that the OBBBA will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the future.

As of September 30, 2025, our unrecognized tax benefits were $141.7 million, of which $102.7 million would have a favorable impact on our effective income tax rate if ultimately recognized, after considering amounts that we would expect to be offset by valuation allowances and other factors.

We and our subsidiaries file consolidated and standalone income tax returns in various jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, our income tax filings are subject to review by various taxing authorities. In connection with such reviews, disputes could arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain income tax rules related to our business in that tax jurisdiction. Such disputes may result in future tax and interest and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities. The ultimate resolution of tax contingencies will take place upon the earlier of (i) the settlement date with the applicable taxing authorities in either cash or agreement of income tax positions or (ii) the date when the tax authorities are statutorily prohibited from adjusting the company's tax computations.

In general, tax returns filed by our company or our subsidiaries for years prior to 2019 are no longer subject to examination

by tax authorities. Certain of our subsidiaries are currently involved in income tax examinations in various jurisdictions in which we operate, including Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovakia and the U.S. While we do not expect adjustments from the foregoing examinations to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, no assurance can be given that this will be the case given the amounts involved and the complex nature of the related issues.

On October 7, 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a suit against Liberty Global, Inc. (**LGI**), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Liberty Global, in the U.S. District Court of Colorado for unpaid federal income taxes and penalties for the 2018 tax year of approximately $284 million. This action by the U.S. Department of Justice is related to the November 2020 complaint filed by LGI in the U.S. District Court of Colorado seeking a refund of approximately $110 million of taxes, penalties and interest associated with the application of certain temporary treasury regulations issued in June 2019. In October 2023, the U.S. District Court of Colorado entered judgment against LGI with respect to the refund claim and we appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (the **Court of Appeals**) in December 2023. No amounts have been accrued by LGI with respect to this matter. We continue to vigorously defend this matter and actively pursue our claim for refund.

In January 2021, we petitioned the U.S. Tax Court to address unresolved matters related to our 2010 tax year for which we had already recorded a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit. In November 2023, the U.S. Tax Court issued an unfavorable decision, which we subsequently appealed to the Court of Appeals. In December 2023, we made a $315 million payment for the disputed tax and estimated associated interest. While this payment reduced the liability for unrecognized tax benefits on our consolidated balance sheet, the position remained in our inventory of unrecognized tax benefits as the matter was not yet settled. In August 2025, the Court of Appeals upheld the U.S. Tax Court's decision and we will not appeal further. As a result, we have now removed the position from our inventory of unrecognized tax benefits.

***Share Repurchases*** 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 14,458,853 of our Class C common shares at an average price per share of $10.98, for an aggregate purchase price of $158.8 million, including direct acquisition costs.

Under our current share repurchase program, we are authorized during 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of our total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining number of our Class A and/or Class C common shares that we are authorized to repurchase during 2025 was 20.4 million. Based on the average of the respective closing share prices as of September 30, 2025, this would equate to additional share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 of approximately $236.7 million. However, the actual U.S. dollar amount of our share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 will be determined by the actual transaction date share prices during the year and could differ significantly from this amount.

**(13)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Share-based Compensation</u>**

Our share-based compensation expense primarily relates to the share-based incentive awards issued by Liberty Global to its employees and employees of its subsidiaries. A summary of our aggregate share-based compensation expense is set forth below:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exercisable | 2597480 | $15.93 | 5080285 | $15.91 |

---

_______________

(a)Amounts represent the gross number of shares associated with option, SAR and PSAR awards issued to our current and former employees and our directors. Our company settles SARs and PSARs on a net basis when exercised by the award holder, whereby the number of shares issued represents the excess value of the award based on the market price of the respective Liberty Global shares at the time of exercise relative to the award's exercise price. In addition, the number of shares issued is further reduced by the amount of the employee's required income tax withholding.

(b)Amounts represent certain share-based awards that continue to be held by former employees of Liberty Global subsequent to certain spin-off or disposal transactions, or as otherwise permitted under applicable Liberty Global equity plan documents. Although future exercises of these awards by former employees will not result in the recognition of share-based compensation expense, such exercises will increase the number of our outstanding common shares.

The following table provides the aggregate number of restricted share units (**RSUs**) and performance-based restricted share units (**PSUs**) that were outstanding as of September 30, 2025. The number of shares to be issued on the vesting date of these awards will be reduced by the amount of the employee's required income tax withholding.

***2025 PSUs***

In March 2025, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the grant of PSUs to executive officers and certain employees (the **2025 PSUs**). The performance metric for the 2025 PSUs is the appreciation of Liberty Global's average share price during the performance period commencing March 21, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027. The payout is determined based on the achievement of certain share price levels, as adjusted by the committee for (i) corporate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, spin-offs and mergers, and (ii) force majeure type events such as natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other unanticipated events impacting the business that are outside of our control. Share price appreciation of 0% to 80% will generally result in award recipients earning 0% to 200% of their target 2025 PSUs. In addition, 50% of the 2025 PSUs award payout may be "banked" if Liberty Global's average share price exceeds specific target levels ranging from 30% to 50% during the performance period, subject to a cap of 75% of the target 2025 PSUs. The earned 2025 PSUs will fully vest on February 15, 2028.

**(14)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Loss per Share</u>**

Basic earnings or loss per share (**EPS**) is computed by dividing net earnings or loss attributable to Liberty Global shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS, as calculated under the treasury stock method, presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of potential shares from share-based incentive awards as if they had been exercised, vested or converted at the beginning of the periods presented. Certain of our share incentive plans include performance and/or other features that result in the associated shares being contingently issuable. For purposes of applying the treasury stock method, the dilutive effect of these awards is calculated based on the number of the shares that would be issuable as if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period. For additional information regarding our share-based incentive awards, see note 13.

The details of our net loss from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders are set forth below:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three months ended<br>September 30,** | **Three months ended<br>September 30,** | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** |

| Loss from continuing operations | $(83.4) | $(1423.7) | $(4180.5) | $(465.1) |
| Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests | (7.3) | (23.2) | (40.4) | (47.3) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders | $(90.7) | $(1446.9) | $(4220.9) | $(512.4) |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding (basic and diluted EPS computation) | 339726508 | 363156702 | 344354828 | 370673984 |
| Excluded potentially dilutive employee share-based incentive awards (a) | 153333863 | 102059429 | 153333863 | 102059429 |

---

_______________

(a)Amounts represent potentially dilutive shares that have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. Additional shares may be issuable in future periods based on the actual performance of certain PSUs, because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria during the reporting period.

**(15)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Commitments and Contingencies</u>**

***Commitments***

In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements that commit our company to make cash payments in future periods with respect to purchases of CPE and other equipment and services, programming contracts, network and connectivity commitments and other items. The following table sets forth the U.S. dollar equivalents of such commitments as of September 30, 2025. The commitments included in this table do not reflect any liabilities that are included on our September 30, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

|  | **in millions** | **in millions** | **in millions** | **in millions** | **in millions** | **in millions** | **in millions** | **in millions** |
| Purchase commitments | $242.8 | $658.5 | $558.5 | $522.3 | $116.0 | $22.3 | $18.5 | $2138.9 |
| Programming commitments | 35.7 | 53.9 | 34.9 | 3.1 | 1.2 | 0.2 |  | 129.0 |
| Network and connectivity commitments | 11.5 | 47.3 | 5.9 | 1.4 | 0.8 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 67.4 |
| Other commitments | 250.3 | 213.9 | 29.7 | 29.1 | 4.3 | 2.5 | 2.7 | 532.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $540.3 | $973.6 | $629.0 | $555.9 | $122.3 | $25.3 | $21.4 | $2867.8 |

---

Purchase commitments include unconditional and legally binding obligations related to (i) certain service-related commitments, including software development, information technology, maintenance and call center services and (ii) the purchase of CPE.

Programming commitments consist of obligations associated with certain of our programming, studio output and sports rights contracts that are enforceable and legally binding on us as we have agreed to pay minimum fees without regard to (i) the actual number of subscribers to the programming services, (ii) whether we terminate service to a portion of our subscribers or dispose of a portion of our distribution systems or (iii) whether we discontinue our premium sports services. Programming commitments do not include increases in future periods associated with contractual inflation or other price adjustments that are not fixed. Accordingly, the amounts reflected in the above table with respect to these contracts are significantly less than the amounts we expect to pay in these periods under these contracts. Historically, payments to programming vendors have represented a significant portion of our operating costs, and we expect this will continue to be the case in future periods. In this regard, our total programming and copyright costs aggregated $415.6 million and $406.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Network and connectivity commitments include certain equipment and service-related commitments at Telenet.

Other commitments include (i) our share of the funding commitment associated with the nexfibre JV and (ii) race management commitments associated with Formula E.

In addition to the commitments set forth in the table above, we have significant commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans and similar agreements, pursuant to which we expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding our derivative instruments, including the net cash paid or received in connection with these instruments, see note 6.

We also have commitments pursuant to agreements with, and obligations imposed by, franchise authorities and municipalities, which may include obligations in certain markets to move aerial cable to underground ducts or to upgrade, rebuild or extend portions of our broadband communication systems. Such amounts are not included in the above table because they are not fixed or determinable.

Furthermore, in connection with a future sale of our interest in, or an initial public offering of, Formula E, we have agreed to pay a third party a portion of our economic gain. We estimate that this contingent obligation is not currently significant.

***Guarantees and Other Credit Enhancements***

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/or financial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making any material payments, and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future.

***Legal and Regulatory Proceedings and Other Contingencies***

*Interkabel Acquisition.* On November 26, 2007, Telenet and four associations of municipalities in Belgium, which we refer to as the pure intercommunales or the "**PICs**," announced a non-binding agreement-in-principle to transfer the analog and digital television activities of the PICs, including all existing subscribers, to Telenet. Subsequently, Telenet and the PICs entered into a binding agreement (the **2008 PICs Agreement**), which closed effective October 1, 2008. Beginning in December 2007, Proximus NV/SA (**Proximus**), the incumbent telecommunications operator in Belgium, instituted several proceedings seeking to block implementation of these agreements. Proximus lodged summary proceedings with the President of the Court of First Instance of Antwerp to obtain a provisional injunction preventing the PICs from effecting the agreement-in-principle and initiated a civil procedure on the merits claiming the annulment of the agreement-in-principle. In March 2008, the President of the Court of First Instance of Antwerp ruled in favor of Proximus in the summary proceedings, which ruling was overturned by the Court of Appeal of Antwerp in June 2008. Proximus brought an appeal judgment before the Belgian Supreme Court, which confirmed the appeal judgment in September 2010. On April 6, 2009, the Court of First Instance of Antwerp ruled in favor of the PICs and Telenet in the civil procedure on the merits, dismissing Proximus' request for the rescission of the agreement-in-principle and the 2008 PICs Agreement. On June 12, 2009, Proximus appealed this judgment to the Court of Appeal of Antwerp. In this appeal, Proximus also sought compensation for damages. While these proceedings were suspended indefinitely, other proceedings were initiated, which resulted in a ruling by the Belgian Council of State in May 2014 annulling (i) the decision of the PICs not to organize a public market consultation and (ii) the decision from the PICs' board of directors to approve the 2008 PICs Agreement. In December 2015, Proximus resumed the civil proceedings pending with the Court of Appeal of Antwerp seeking to have the 2008 PICs Agreement annulled and claiming damages of €1.4 billion ($1.6 billion). On December 18, 2017, the Court of Appeal of Antwerp rejected Proximus' claim in its entirety. On June 28, 2019, Proximus brought this appeal judgment before the Belgian Supreme Court. On January 22, 2021, the Belgian Supreme Court partially annulled the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Antwerp. The case was referred to the Court of Appeal of Brussels and is currently pending with this Court which will need to make a new decision on the matter within the boundaries of the annulment by the Belgian Supreme Court. It is likely that it will take the Court of Appeal of Brussels several years to decide on the matter.

No assurance can be given as to the outcome of these or other proceedings. However, an unfavorable outcome of existing or future proceedings could potentially lead to the annulment of the 2008 PICs Agreement. We do not expect the ultimate resolution of this matter to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. No amounts have been accrued by us with respect to this matter as the likelihood of loss is not considered to be probable.

*Telekom Deutschland Litigation.* On December 28, 2012, Unitymedia filed a lawsuit against Telekom Deutschland GmbH (**Telekom Deutschland**) in which Unitymedia asserted that it pays excessive prices for the co-use of Telekom Deutschland's cable ducts in Unitymedia's footprint. The Federal Network Agency approved rates for the co-use of certain ducts of Telekom Deutschland in March 2011. Based in part on these approved rates, Unitymedia sought a reduction of the annual lease fees by approximately five-sixths. In addition, Unitymedia sought the return of similarly calculated overpayments from 2009 through the ultimate settlement date, plus accrued interest. In October 2016, the first instance court dismissed this action, and in March 2018, the court of appeal dismissed Unitymedia's appeal of the first instance court's decision. Unitymedia has since successfully appealed the case to the Federal Court of Justice, and proceedings continue before the German courts. The resolution of this matter may take several years and no assurance can be given that Unitymedia's claims will be successful. In connection with our sale of our former operations in Germany, Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic to Vodafone (the **Vodafone Disposal Group**) in 2019, we will only share in 50% of any amounts recovered, plus 50% of the net present value of certain cost savings in future periods that are attributable to the favorable resolution of this matter, less 50% of associated legal or other third-party fees paid post-completion of the sale of the Vodafone Disposal Group. Any amount we may recover related to this matter will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements until such time as the final disposition of this matter has been reached.

*Other Contingency Matters.* In connection with the dispositions of certain of our operations, we provided tax indemnities to the counterparties for certain tax liabilities that could arise from the period we owned the respective operations, the amounts of which could be significant, subject to certain thresholds. No amounts have been accrued by our company related to unasserted claims for indemnification, as the likelihood of any loss is not considered to be probable. Further, Liberty Global may be entitled to certain amounts that our disposed operations may recover from taxing authorities. Any such amounts will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements until such time as the final disposition of such matters has been reached.

*Other Regulatory Matters.* Broadband internet, video distribution, fixed-line telephony, mobile and content businesses are regulated in each of the countries in which we or our affiliates operate. The scope of regulation varies from country to country, although in some significant respects regulation in European markets is harmonized under the regulatory structure of the European Union (**E.U.**), and largely similar rules apply in the U.K. Adverse regulatory developments could subject our businesses to a number of risks. Regulation, including conditions imposed on us by competition or other authorities as a requirement to close acquisitions or dispositions, could limit growth, revenue and the number and types of services offered and could lead to increased operating costs and property and equipment additions. Regulation may also restrict our operations and subject them to further competitive pressure, including pricing restrictions, interconnect and other access obligations, and restrictions or controls on content, including content provided by third parties. Failure to comply with current or future regulation could expose our businesses to various penalties.

In addition to the foregoing items, we have contingent liabilities related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including (i) legal proceedings, (ii) issues involving VAT and wage, property, withholding and other tax issues and (iii) disputes over interconnection, programming, copyright and channel carriage fees. While we generally expect that the amounts required to satisfy these contingencies will not materially differ from any estimated amounts we have accrued, no assurance can be given that the resolution of one or more of these contingencies will not result in a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any given period. Due, in general, to the complexity of the issues involved and, in certain cases, the lack of a clear basis for predicting outcomes, we cannot provide a meaningful range of potential losses or cash outflows that might result from any unfavorable outcomes.

**(16)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Segment Reporting</u>**

Our chief executive officer, whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker (**CODM**), views our business as three strategic platforms, "Liberty Telecom" (our converged broadband, video and mobile communications businesses), "Liberty Growth" (our global investment arm comprised of various technology, media/content, sports, digital infrastructure and other growth assets) and "Liberty Services" (our innovative technology and finance service platforms offered by our centralized functions), each as further discussed below. Performance of our business is assessed and resources are allocated by our CODM on a segment basis. We generally identify our reportable segments as (i) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of our total reportable segment revenue or proportionate Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) or (ii) those equity method affiliates where revenue or our share of Adjusted EBITDA represents 10% or more of our total reportable segment revenue or proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. In certain cases, we may elect to include an operating segment in our segment disclosure that does not meet the above-described criteria for a reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by our CODM to evaluate segment operating performance and make decisions about allocating resources to our operating segments. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate income generated from our segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into other areas of our business, such as for acquisitions or investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to monitor budget versus actual results, which is used in assessing the performance of segments in comparison with one another and in establishing management's compensation. The significant accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K. In addition, our CODM reviews non-financial measures such as customer growth, as appropriate, but does not review any measure of total assets.

As we use the term, "**Adjusted EBITDA**" is defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before net income tax benefit (expense), other non-operating income or expenses, net share of results of affiliates, net gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) due to changes in fair values of certain investments, net foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment,

restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (a) readily view operating trends, (b) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (c) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. A reconciliation of total reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to loss from continuing operations before income taxes is presented below.

As of September 30, 2025, our reportable segments are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Telenet

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• VM Ireland

**Nonconsolidated:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• VMO2 JV

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• VodafoneZiggo JV

Telenet, VM Ireland, the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV are included in our "Liberty Telecom" strategic platform and derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B communications services, including broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and mobile services.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, our previously defined "*Central and Other*" reportable segment was reorganized into various other operating segments, which are not separately or in the aggregate identified as reportable segments. Prior periods have been revised in accordance with this reorganization.

The "Liberty Growth" strategic platform, included in the "all other category," comprises certain investments in technology, media/content, sports and digital infrastructure companies that we view as scalable businesses, which derive their revenue from providing various goods, services and content to customers (**Liberty Growth**).

The "Liberty Services" strategic platform, included in the "all other category," primarily includes our technology and services operating segments that generate revenue through (i) sales of CPE to our reportable segments and certain third parties and (ii) providing certain centralized back office functions, including network operations and technology solutions (**Liberty Services**).

We also have certain corporate activities that are included in the "all other category," which include (i) revenue associated with certain finance and administrative services provided to various third parties and affiliates pursuant to service agreements and (ii) costs associated with certain centralized functions including billing systems, marketing, facilities, finance and other administrative functions.

Liberty Growth, Liberty Services and our corporate activities are all included in the "all other category" as they do not meet the reportable segment quantitative thresholds.

We present only the reportable segments of our continuing operations in the tables below.

Our centrally-managed technology and innovation function (our **T&I Function**) provides, and allocates charges for, certain products and services to our reportable segments (the **Tech Framework**). These products and services include CPE hardware and related essential software, maintenance, hosting and other services. Our reportable segments capitalize the combined cost of the CPE hardware and a portion of the essential software as property and equipment additions and the corresponding amounts charged by our T&I Function are reflected as revenue when earned.

***Performance Measures of Our Reportable Segments***

The amounts presented in the tables below represent 100% of each of our consolidated and nonconsolidated reportable segment's revenue, expenses and Adjusted EBITDA, despite only holding a 50% noncontrolling interest in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV. We account for our 50% interests in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV under the equity method; accordingly, our share of their operating results is included in share of results of affiliates, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The noncontrolling interests at Telenet and Formula E are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. To the extent that statements in this Quarterly Report are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements, which, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. In particular, statements under Part I, Item 2. *Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,* Part I, Item 3. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk* and Part II, Item 2. *Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds* may contain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our business, product, foreign currency, hedging and finance strategies, our property and equipment additions, subscriber growth and retention rates, competitive, regulatory and economic factors, the timing and impacts of proposed transactions, the maturity of our markets, the potential impact of large-scale health crises on our company, the anticipated impacts of new legislation (or changes to existing rules and regulations), anticipated changes in our revenue, costs or growth rates, our liquidity, credit risks, foreign currency risks, interest rate risks, target leverage levels, debt covenants, our future projected contractual commitments and cash flows, our share repurchase programs and other information and statements that are not historical fact. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. In evaluating these statements, you should consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A. *Risk Factors* of our 2024 10-K, as well as the following list of some, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results or events (including with respect to our affiliates) to differ materially from anticipated results or events:

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

**Overview**

***General***

We are an international provider of broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and mobile communications services to residential customers and businesses in Europe and are an active investor across the infrastructure, content and technology industries. We also provide innovative technology solutions and finance services. Our continuing operations comprise businesses that provide residential and B2B communications services in (i) Belgium and Luxembourg through Telenet and (ii) Ireland through VM Ireland. In addition, we own 50% noncontrolling interests in (a) the VMO2 JV, which provides residential and B2B communications services in the U.K., and (b) the VodafoneZiggo JV, which provides residential and B2B communications services in the Netherlands.

Prior to the completion of the Spin-off on November 8, 2024, we also provided residential and B2B communications services in Switzerland through Sunrise. Sunrise, together with certain other Liberty Global subsidiaries connected to our Swiss

------

business, are collectively referred to as the Sunrise Entities and are reflected as discontinued operations for all applicable periods. In the following discussion and analysis, the operating statistics, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition that we present and discuss are those of our continuing operations, unless otherwise indicated. For additional information regarding the Spin-off, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 2, 2024, we completed the Formula E Acquisition, pursuant to which we acquired a controlling interest in Formula E and began consolidating 100% of Formula E's results from that date. For additional information, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Operations***

At September 30, 2025, our reportable segments, including our nonconsolidated JVs, as defined in note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, owned and operated networks that passed 29,073,400 homes and served 11,443,800 fixed-line customers and 44,970,800 mobile subscribers.

***Competition and Other External Factors***

We are experiencing competition in all of the markets in which we or our affiliates operate. This competition, together with macroeconomic and regulatory factors, has adversely impacted our revenue, number of customers and/or average monthly subscription revenue per fixed-line customer or mobile subscriber, as applicable (**ARPU**). For additional information regarding the revenue impact of changes in the fixed-line customers and ARPU of our consolidated reportable segments, see *Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments* below*.* 

We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to labor, programming and other costs. While we attempt to increase our revenue to offset increases in costs, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. Therefore, costs could rise faster than associated revenue, thereby resulting in a negative impact on our operating results, cash flows and liquidity. The economic environment in the respective countries in which we operate is a function of government, economic, fiscal and monetary policies and various other factors beyond our control that could lead to inflation. We are unable to predict the extent that price levels might be impacted in future periods by the current state of the economies in the countries in which we operate.

**Material Changes in Results of Operations**

We have completed a number of transactions that impact the comparability of our 2025 and 2024 results of operations, the most notable of which is the Formula E Acquisition on October 2, 2024. For further information, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the following discussion, we quantify the estimated impact of material acquisitions (the **Acquisition Impact**) and dispositions on our operating results. The Acquisition Impact represents our estimate of the difference between the operating results of the periods under comparison that is attributable to an acquisition. In general, we base our estimate of the Acquisition Impact on an acquired entity's operating results during the first 3 to 12 months following the acquisition date, as adjusted to remove integration costs and any other material unusual or non-operational items, such that changes from those operating results in subsequent periods are considered to be organic changes. Accordingly, in the following discussion, (i) organic variances attributed to an acquired entity during the first 12 months following the acquisition date represent differences between the Acquisition Impact and the actual results and (ii) the calculation of our organic change percentages includes the organic activity of an acquired entity relative to the Acquisition Impact of such entity. With respect to material dispositions, the organic changes that are discussed below reflect adjustments to exclude the historical prior-year results of any disposed entities to the extent that such entities are not included in the corresponding results for the current-year period.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a significant impact on our reported operating results, as all of our operating segments have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our primary exposure to foreign exchange (FX) risk during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was to the euro, as substantially all of our reported revenue during the period was derived from subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the euro. In addition, our reported operating results are impacted by changes in the exchange rates for certain other local currencies in Europe. The portions of the changes in the various components of our results of operations that are attributable to changes in FX are highlighted under *Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments* and *Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results* below. For information regarding our foreign currency risks and the applicable foreign currency exchange rates in effect for the periods covered by this Quarterly Report, see Part I, Item 3. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Foreign Currency Risk* below.

------

The amounts presented and discussed below represent 100% of each of our consolidated and nonconsolidated reportable segment's results of operations, despite only holding a 50% noncontrolling interest in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV. We account for our 50% interests in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV under the equity method; accordingly, our share of their operating results is included in share of results of affiliates, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The noncontrolling interests at Telenet and Formula E are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

**Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments**

***General***

Telenet, VM Ireland, the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B communications services. For detailed information regarding the composition of our reportable segments, our "all other category" and how we define and categorize our revenue components, see note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For information regarding the results of operations of the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV, refer to *Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results — Share of results of affiliates, net* below.

The tables presented below in this section provide the details of the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of our reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. These tables present (i) the amounts reported for the current and comparative periods, (ii) the reported U.S. dollar change and percentage change from period to period and (iii) with respect to our consolidated reportable segments, the organic U.S. dollar change and percentage change from period to period. For our organic comparisons, which exclude the impact of FX, we assume that exchange rates remained constant at the prior-period rate during all periods presented. We also provide a table showing the Adjusted EBITDA margins of our reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 at the end of this section.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which we believe is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to readily view operating trends from a consolidated view. Investors should view consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of loss from continuing operations to total consolidated Adjusted EBITDA:

***Revenue of our Reportable Segments***

*General.* While not specifically discussed in the below explanations of the changes in the revenue of our reportable segments, we are experiencing competition in all of our markets. This competition has an adverse impact on our ability to increase or maintain our total number of customers and/or our ARPU.

Variances in the subscription revenue that we receive from our customers are a function of (i) changes in the number of our fixed-line customers or mobile subscribers outstanding during the period and (ii) changes in ARPU. Changes in ARPU can be attributable to (a) changes in prices, (b) changes in bundling or promotional discounts, (c) changes in the tier of services selected, (d) variances in subscriber usage patterns and (e) the overall mix of fixed and mobile products within a segment during the period.

_____________

(a)The decreases in residential mobile non-subscription revenue are primarily attributable to (i) decreases in interconnect revenue and (ii) lower revenue from handset sales.

(b)The increases in B2B non-subscription revenue are primarily due to (i) increases in revenue from wholesale services and (ii) higher revenue from equipment sales.

(c)The changes in other revenue include a decrease associated with the one-off impact of the recognition of previously deferred revenue of approximately $18 million during the third quarter of 2024.

_______________

(a)Residential fixed subscription revenue includes amounts received from subscribers for ongoing services and the recognition of deferred installation revenue over the associated contract period. Residential fixed non-subscription revenue includes, among other items, channel carriage fees, late fees and revenue from the sale of equipment.

(b)Residential subscription revenue from subscribers who purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is generally allocated proportionally to each service based on the standalone price for each individual service. As a result, changes in the standalone pricing of our fixed and mobile products or the composition of bundles can contribute to changes in our product revenue categories from period to period.

(c)Residential mobile subscription revenue includes amounts received from subscribers for ongoing services. Residential mobile non-subscription revenue includes, among other items, interconnect revenue and revenue from sales of mobile handsets and other devices. Residential mobile interconnect revenue was $8.0 million and $11.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $24.8 million and $34.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(d)B2B subscription revenue represents revenue from (i) services provided to SOHO subscribers and (ii) mobile services provided to medium and large enterprises. SOHO subscribers pay a premium price to receive expanded service levels along with broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony or mobile services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. B2B non-subscription revenue includes (a) revenue from business broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and data services offered to medium and large enterprises and, fixed-line and mobile services on a wholesale basis, to other operators and (b) revenue from long-term leases of portions of our network.

(e)Other revenue includes, among other items, (i) revenue earned from the U.K. JV Services, the Sunrise Services and the NL JV Services, (ii) broadcasting revenue at Telenet and VM Ireland, (iii) revenue at Formula E and (iv) revenue earned from the sale of CPE to the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV.

On an organic basis, our consolidated residential mobile non-subscription revenue decreased $1.5 million or 4.2% and $17.5 million or 14.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, primarily due to decreases at Telenet.

*B2B revenue.* On an organic basis, our consolidated B2B non-subscription revenue increased $7.9 million or 7.7% and $16.5 million or 5.4% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, primarily due to increases at Telenet.

*Other revenue.* On an organic basis, our consolidated other revenue decreased $14.4 million or 4.8% and $34.5 million or 3.3% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, primarily due to the net effect of (i) lower revenue earned from the sale of CPE to the VMO2 JV and, for the nine-month comparison, the VodafoneZiggo JV, (ii) increases in revenue earned from the U.K. JV Services and (iii) a decrease associated with the one-off impact of the recognition of previously deferred revenue at Telenet during the third quarter of 2024.

Our programming and other direct costs of services increased $72.5 million or 22.6% and $210.3 million or 20.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, including increases of $46.0 million and $193.7 million, respectively, attributable to the impact of the Formula E Acquisition. On an organic basis, our programming and other direct costs of services decreased $11.4 million or 3.1% and $58.2 million or 4.7%, respectively. These decreases include the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decreases in costs of $0.4 million and $26.3 million, respectively, related to the sale of CPE to the VMO2 JV;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An increase (decrease) in costs of $12.5 million and ($19.3 million), respectively, related to the sale of CPE to the VodafoneZiggo JV;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decreases in interconnect and access costs of $2.3 million or 7.3% and $12.0 million or 14.3%, respectively, primarily due to lower interconnect and mobile roaming costs at Telenet;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the nine-month comparison, a decrease in mobile handset and other device costs of $5.6 million or 6.5%, primarily due to lower sales volumes at Telenet; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the three-month comparison, a decrease in programming and copyright costs of $17.6 million or 14.0%, primarily attributable to lower costs for certain content at Telenet.

On an organic basis, our other operating expenses increased $8.0 million or 4.3% and $23.9 million or 4.3%, respectively. These increases include the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increases in core network and information technology-related costs of $10.7 million or 19.4% and $19.1 million or 15.9%, respectively, primarily due to (i) higher information technology-related costs, including increases at Telenet and VM Ireland, and (ii) for the three-month comparison, higher leased bandwidth costs at Telenet;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increases in personnel costs of $3.1 million or 5.9% and $10.7 million or 6.5%, respectively, primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher average costs per employee, including increases at Telenet, (ii) lower staffing levels, including decreases at Telenet, and (iii) increases in incentive compensation costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the three-month comparison, a decrease in business service costs of $3.5 million or 17.8%, primarily due to (i) lower energy costs, primarily due to a decrease at Telenet, and (ii) lower consulting costs.

(a)General and administrative expenses include all personnel-related costs within our SG&A expenses, including personnel-related costs associated with our sales and marketing function.

Our SG&A expenses (exclusive of share-based compensation expense) increased $36.4 million or 15.9% and $70.7 million or 10.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, including increases of $18.5 million and $58.1 million, respectively, attributable to the impact of the Formula E Acquisition. On an organic basis, our SG&A expenses increased (decreased) $3.9 million or 1.6% and ($7.7 million) or (1.0%), respectively. These changes include the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decreases in external sales and marketing costs of $5.0 million or 6.8% and $10.2 million or 4.1%, respectively, primarily due to the net effect of (i) lower costs associated with advertising campaigns, primarily due to decreases at Telenet and VM Ireland, and (ii) higher third-party sales commissions, as increases at Telenet were only partially offset by decreases at VM Ireland;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increases in personnel costs of $5.2 million or 4.3% and $1.9 million or 0.5%, respectively, primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher average costs per employee, (ii) lower staffing levels, including decreases at Telenet, and (iii) for the nine-month comparison, lower incentive compensation costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the three-month comparison, an increase in business service costs of $3.0 million or 9.6%, primarily due to higher consulting costs at Telenet.

_______________

(a)Amounts include share-based compensation expense related to certain Telenet Replacement Awards.

(b)Represents annual incentive compensation and defined contribution plan liabilities that have been or are expected to be settled with Liberty Global common shares. In the case of annual incentive compensation, shares have been or will be issued to senior management and key employees pursuant to a shareholding incentive program. The shareholding incentive program allows these employees to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual incentive compensation in common shares of Liberty Global in lieu of cash.

For additional information regarding our share-based compensation expense, see note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Depreciation and amortization expense* 

Our depreciation and amortization expense was $275.9 million and $758.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $245.0 million and $750.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Excluding the effects of FX, depreciation and amortization expense increased (decreased) $14.2 million or 5.8% and ($14.2 million) or (1.9%) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. These changes are primarily due to the net effect of (i) decreases associated with certain assets becoming fully depreciated, primarily at Telenet, and (ii) increases associated with property and equipment additions related to the installation of CPE, the expansion and upgrade of our networks and other capital initiatives, primarily at Telenet.

------

*Impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net* 

We recognized impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, of $22.0 million and $25.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $6.0 million and $44.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The amounts for the 2025 periods primarily include restructuring costs of $20.6 million and $24.0 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2025, we commenced a restructuring program that includes employee terminations within certain of our centralized functions and recorded $17.3 million of restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2025 related to this program. We expect to incur further restructuring charges during the remainder of 2025 and 2026 as certain elements of the restructuring plan did not meet the criteria for recognition in the third quarter.

The amounts for the 2024 periods include (i) restructuring costs of $5.4 million and $24.6 million, including amounts at Telenet, respectively, and (ii) a provision for legal contingencies of $17.5 million during the first quarter of 2024.

If, among other factors, (i) our equity values were to decline or (ii) the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets. Any such impairment charges could be significant.

*Interest expense*

We recognized interest expense of $123.3 million and $380.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $144.3 million and $434.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Excluding the effects of FX, interest expense decreased $28.3 million or 19.6% and $63.9 million or 14.7% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. These decreases are primarily attributable to lower weighted average interest rates. For additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

It is possible that the interest rates on (i) any new borrowings could be higher than the current interest rates on our existing indebtedness and (ii) our variable-rate indebtedness could increase in future periods. As further discussed in note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and under Part I, Item 3. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk* below, we use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risks.

*Realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments, net*

Our realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments include (i) unrealized changes in the fair values of our derivative instruments that are non-cash in nature until such time as the derivative contracts are fully or partially settled and (ii) realized gains or losses upon the full or partial settlement of the derivative contracts. The details of our realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments, net, are as follows:

_______________

(a)The results for the 2025 periods are primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a net gain for the three-month period and a net loss for the nine-month period associated with changes in the relative value of certain currencies and (ii) net gains associated with changes in certain market interest rates. In addition, the results for the 2025 periods include a net gain (loss) of ($6.1 million) and $3.3 million, respectively, resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments. The results for the 2024 periods are attributable to net losses associated with changes in (a) certain market interest rates

and (b) the relative value of certain currencies. In addition, the results for the 2024 periods include a net gain (loss) of $3.5 million and ($2.0 million), respectively, resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments.

(b)The recurring fair value measurements of our equity-related derivative instruments are based on Black-Scholes pricing models. For additional information regarding the Vodafone Collar, which was fully settled in 2025, see note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

For additional information concerning our derivative instruments, see notes 6 and 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and Part I, Item 3. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk* below.

*Foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net*

Our foreign currency transaction gains or losses primarily result from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the underlying functional currency of the applicable entity. Unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses are computed based on period-end exchange rates and are non-cash in nature until such time as the amounts are settled. The details of our foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net, are as follows:

(a)Represents (i) our 50% share of the results of operations of the VMO2 JV and (ii) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 100% of the share-based compensation expense associated with Liberty Global awards granted to VMO2 JV employees who were formerly employees of Liberty Global prior to the VMO2 JV formation, as these awards remain our responsibility. The summarized results of operations of the VMO2 JV are set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_______________

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Includes interest expense of $413.2 million, $406.4 million, $1,201.8 million and $1,239.5 million in the respective periods shown.

The changes in the VMO2 JV's revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, are primarily due to the net effect of (i) decreases in other revenue related to low-margin construction revenue from the nexfibre JV, (ii) decreases in mobile revenue due to lower handset revenue and (iii) increases in B2B fixed revenue due the VMO2 JV's consolidation of the Daisy Group following the merger of the B2B operations of O2 and Daisy, with each revenue category as defined and reported by the VMO2 JV. The changes in the VMO2 JV's Adjusted EBITDA during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, are primarily due to the net effect of (a) the aforementioned changes in revenue, (b) a provision for legal matters in 2025, (c) a handset inventory-related insurance recovery during the third quarter of 2025 of approximately $27 million related to a loss recognized during the fourth quarter of 2024, (d) cost efficiencies and (e) decreases in the nexfibre JV construction impact to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the reported revenue and Adjusted EBITDA amounts are impacted by FX.

------

(b)Represents (i) our 50% share of the results of operations of the VodafoneZiggo JV and (ii) interest income of $15.1 million, $14.2 million, $42.8 million and $41.7 million in the respective periods shown, representing 100% of the interest earned on the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables. The summarized results of operations of the VodafoneZiggo JV are set forth below:

| Operating income | $63.9 | $93.8 | $111.3 | $292.4 |
| Non-operating expense (1) | $(145.4) | $(259.8) | $(439.4) | $(493.9) |
| Net loss | $(37.0) | $(132.6) | $(227.4) | $(161.6) |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_______________

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Includes interest expense of $194.5 million, $208.3 million, $574.7 million and $619.5 million in the respective periods shown.

The changes in the VodafoneZiggo JV's revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, are primarily due to the net effect of (i) decreases in residential fixed revenue, partially offset by the repricing impact, (ii) decreases in mobile revenue and (iii) higher B2B fixed revenue. The changes in the VodafoneZiggo JV's Adjusted EBITDA during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, are primarily due to the net effect of (a) the aforementioned changes in revenue, (b) increases in consulting costs, (c) higher programming costs and (d) cost control measures in customer service, IT and procurement. In addition, the reported revenue and Adjusted EBITDA amounts are impacted by FX.

The VodafoneZiggo JV is experiencing significant competition in both its fixed-line and mobile operations. If the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause significant deterioration of the results of operations or cash flows of the VodafoneZiggo JV, we could conclude in future periods that our investment in the VodafoneZiggo JV is impaired or management of the VodafoneZiggo JV could conclude that an impairment of the VodafoneZiggo JV goodwill and, to a lesser extent, long-lived assets, is required. Any such impairment of the VodafoneZiggo JV's goodwill or our investment in the VodafoneZiggo JV would be reflected as a component of share of results of affiliates, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Our share of any such impairment charges could be significant.

(c)Includes our share of results of Formula E prior to the Formula E Acquisition Date.

(d)We completed the sale of our investment in All3Media during the second quarter of 2024.

*Gain on sale of All3Media*

In connection with the sale of All3Media, we recognized a gain of $242.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Other income, net*

We recognized other income, net, of $27.5 million and $53.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $80.0 million and $166.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts include interest and dividend income of $20.5 million and $53.4 million during the three-month periods, respectively, and $78.1 million and $165.2 million during the nine-month periods, respectively.

*Income tax benefit (expense)*

We recognized income tax benefit (expense) of $46.9 million and $116.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $11.2 million and ($59.8 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

------

The income tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2025 differs from the expected income tax benefit of $19.6 million (based on the Bermuda statutory income tax rate of 15.0%), primarily due to the net positive impact of (i) a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits and (ii) statutory rates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate that are different than the Bermuda statutory income tax rate. The net positive impact of these items was partially offset by the net negative impact of (a) certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of items associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates and (b) a net increase in valuation allowances.

The income tax benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 differs from the expected income tax benefit of $644.5 million (based on the Bermuda statutory income tax rate of 15.0%), primarily due to the net negative impact of (i) non-deductible or non-taxable foreign currency exchange results and (ii) certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of items associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates. The net negative impact of these items was partially offset by the net positive impact of (a) statutory rates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate that are different than the Bermuda statutory income tax rate and (b) a net decrease in valuation allowances.

The income tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2024 differs from the expected income tax benefit of $358.7 million (based on the U.K. statutory income tax rate of 25.0%), primarily due to the net negative impact of (i) non-deductible or non-taxable foreign currency exchange results and (ii) certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of items associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates.

The income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 differs from the expected income tax benefit of $101.3 million (based on the U.K. statutory income tax rate of 25.0%), primarily due to the net negative impact of (i) certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of interest and other items, (ii) non-deductible or non-taxable foreign currency exchange results and (iii) certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of items associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates. The net negative impact of these items was partially offset by the positive impact of a net decrease in valuation allowances.

For additional information concerning our income taxes, see note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Loss from continuing operations*

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported loss from continuing operations of $83.4 million and $1,423.7 million, respectively, consisting of (i) operating income (loss) of ($8.0 million) and $33.4 million, respectively, (ii) net non-operating expense of $122.3 million and $1,468.3 million, respectively, and (iii) income tax benefit of $46.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported loss from continuing operations of $4,180.5 million and $465.1 million, respectively, consisting of (i) operating income (loss) of $82.3 million and ($11.9 million), respectively, (ii) net non-operating expense of $4,378.8 million and $393.4 million, respectively, and (iii) income tax benefit (expense) of $116.0 million and ($59.8 million), respectively.

Gains or losses associated with (i) changes in the fair values of derivative instruments, (ii) movements in foreign currency exchange rates and (iii) the disposition of assets and changes in ownership are subject to a high degree of volatility and, as such, any gains from these sources do not represent a reliable source of income. In the absence of significant gains in the future from these sources or from other non-operating items, our ability to achieve earnings is largely dependent on our ability to increase our aggregate operating income to a level that more than offsets the aggregate amount of our (a) interest expense, (b) other non-operating expenses and (c) income tax expense.

Due largely to the fact that we seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns, as discussed under *Material Changes in Financial Condition* ***—*** *Capitalization* below, we expect we will continue to report significant levels of interest expense for the foreseeable future. For information concerning our expectations with respect to trends that may affect certain aspects of our operating results in future periods, see the discussion under *Overview* above. For information concerning the reasons for changes in specific line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, see *Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments* and *Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results* above.

------

*Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes*

We reported earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $12.8 million and ($143.6 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to the operations of the Sunrise Entities. For additional information, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests*

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests was $7.3 million and $23.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $40.4 million and $47.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, attributable to certain noncontrolling interests at Telenet and Formula E.

**Material Changes in Financial Condition**

***Sources and Uses of Cash***

We are a holding company that is dependent on the capital resources of our subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements at the corporate level. Each of our significant operating subsidiaries is separately financed within one of our two subsidiary "borrowing groups." These borrowing groups include the respective restricted parent and subsidiary entities within Telenet and VM Ireland. Although our borrowing groups typically generate cash from operating activities, the terms of the instruments governing the indebtedness of these borrowing groups may restrict our ability to access the liquidity of these subsidiaries. In addition, our ability to access the liquidity of these and other subsidiaries may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests and other factors.

*Cash, cash equivalents and SMAs*

The details of the U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents and investments held under SMAs at September 30, 2025 are set forth in the following table (in millions):

(e)The balance of our investments held under SMAs is held by unrestricted subsidiaries of Liberty Global and includes $76.0 million or 88.5% denominated in U.S. dollars.

For additional information regarding our cash and cash equivalents and investments held under SMAs, see the discussion under Part I, Item 3. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Cash and Investments* below.

*Liquidity of Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries*

The $0.1 million of cash held by Liberty Global and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, the $513.3 million of aggregate cash and cash equivalents held by unrestricted subsidiaries, together with the $85.9 million of investments held under SMAs, represented available liquidity at the corporate level at September 30, 2025. Our remaining cash and cash equivalents of $1,160.8 million at September 30, 2025 were held by our borrowing groups, as set forth in the table above. As noted above, various factors may limit our ability to access the cash of our borrowing groups. For information regarding certain limitations imposed by our subsidiaries' debt instruments at September 30, 2025, see note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K.

------

Our short-term sources of corporate liquidity include (i) readily available assets, such as (a) cash and cash equivalents held by Liberty Global and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, Liberty Global's unrestricted subsidiaries, and (b) investments held under SMAs, and (ii) funds derived from other items, such as (a) interest and dividend income received on our and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, our unrestricted subsidiaries' cash and cash equivalents and investments, including dividend distributions received from the VMO2 JV or the VodafoneZiggo JV, (b) cash received with respect to transitional and other services provided to various third parties and affiliates and (c) interest received with respect to the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables.

From time to time, Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries may also receive (i) proceeds in the form of dividend distributions or loan repayments from Liberty Global's borrowing groups or affiliates (including amounts from the VMO2 JV or the VodafoneZiggo JV) upon (a) the completion of recapitalizations, refinancings, asset sales or similar transactions by these entities or (b) the accumulation of excess cash from operations or other means, (ii) proceeds upon the disposition of investments and other assets of Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries and (iii) proceeds in connection with the incurrence of debt by Liberty Global or its unrestricted subsidiaries or the issuance of equity securities by Liberty Global, including equity securities issued to satisfy subsidiary obligations. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to Liberty Global or its unrestricted subsidiaries on favorable terms, or at all.

At September 30, 2025, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents included $1,674.1 million held by entities that are domiciled outside of Bermuda. Based on our assessment of our ability to access the liquidity of our subsidiaries on a tax efficient basis and our expectations with respect to our corporate liquidity requirements, we do not anticipate that tax considerations will adversely impact our corporate liquidity over the next 12 months. Our ability to access the liquidity of our subsidiaries on a tax efficient basis is a consideration in assessing the extent of our share repurchase program.

In addition, the amount of cash we receive from our subsidiaries and affiliates to satisfy U.S. dollar-denominated liquidity requirements is impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly with regard to the translation of euros and British pound sterling into U.S. dollars. In this regard, the strengthening (weakening) of the U.S. dollar against these currencies will result in decreases (increases) in the U.S. dollars received from the applicable subsidiaries and affiliates to fund the repurchase of our equity securities and other U.S. dollar-denominated liquidity requirements.

Our short- and long-term liquidity requirements include corporate general and administrative expenses and, from time to time, cash requirements in connection with (i) the repayment of third-party and intercompany debt, (ii) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities, (iii) acquisitions, (iv) the repurchase of equity and debt securities, (v) other investment opportunities, (vi) any funding requirements of our subsidiaries and affiliates or (vii) income tax payments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of our share repurchases, including direct acquisition costs, was $158.8 million. Under our current share repurchase program, we are authorized during 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of our total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2024. For additional information regarding our share repurchase programs, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Liquidity of borrowing groups*

The cash and cash equivalents of our borrowing groups are detailed in the table above. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the primary sources of liquidity of our borrowing groups are cash provided by operations and borrowing availability under their respective debt instruments. For the details of the borrowing availability of our borrowing groups at September 30, 2025, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned sources of liquidity may be supplemented in certain cases by contributions and/or loans from Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries.

The liquidity of our borrowing groups generally is used to fund (i) property and equipment additions, (ii) debt service requirements and (iii) income tax payments, as well as to settle certain obligations that are not included on our September 30, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet. In this regard, we have significant commitments related to (a) purchase obligations associated with CPE and certain service-related commitments, (b) programming, studio output and sports rights contracts and (c) certain operating costs associated with our networks. These obligations are expected to represent a significant liquidity requirement of our borrowing groups, a significant portion of which is due over the next 12 to 24 months. For additional information regarding our commitments, see note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

------

From time to time, our borrowing groups may also require liquidity in connection with (i) acquisitions and other investment opportunities, (ii) loans to Liberty Global or its unrestricted subsidiaries, (iii) capital distributions to Liberty Global and other equity owners or (iv) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to our borrowing groups on favorable terms, or at all.

For additional information regarding our consolidated cash flows, see the discussion under *Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows* below.

***Capitalization***

We seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns without assuming undue risk. In this regard, we generally seek to cause our operating subsidiaries to maintain their debt at levels that result in a consolidated debt balance (measured using subsidiary debt figures at swapped foreign currency exchange rates, consistent with the covenant calculation requirements of our subsidiary debt agreements) that is between four and five times our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, although the timing of our acquisitions and financing transactions and the interplay of average and spot foreign currency rates may impact this ratio. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which investors should view as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our ability to service or refinance our debt and to maintain compliance with the leverage covenants in the credit agreements and indentures of our borrowing groups is dependent primarily on our ability to maintain or increase the Adjusted EBITDA of our operating subsidiaries and to achieve adequate returns on our property and equipment additions and acquisitions. In addition, our ability to obtain additional debt financing is limited by the incurrence-based leverage covenants contained in the various debt instruments of our borrowing groups. For example, if the Adjusted EBITDA of one of our borrowing groups were to decline, our ability to obtain additional debt could be limited. Under our credit facilities and senior secured notes there is no cross-default risk between subsidiary borrowing groups in the event that one or more of our borrowing groups were to experience significant declines in their Adjusted EBITDA to the extent they were no longer able to service their debt obligations. Any mandatory prepayment events or events of default that may occur would only impact the relevant borrowing group in which these events occur and do not allow for any recourse to other borrowing groups or Liberty Global Ltd. Our credit facilities and senior secured notes require that certain members of the relevant borrowing group guarantee the payment of all sums payable thereunder and such group members are required to grant first-ranking security over their shares or, in certain borrowing groups, over substantially all of their assets to secure the payment of all sums payable thereunder. At September 30, 2025, each of our borrowing groups was in compliance with its debt covenants. In addition, we do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance with respect to the debt covenants of our borrowing groups that would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months.

At September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of our consolidated debt, together with our finance lease obligations, aggregated $8.5 billion, including $0.7 billion that is classified as current on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and $3.3 billion that is not due until 2029 or thereafter. All of our consolidated debt and finance lease obligations have been borrowed or incurred by our subsidiaries at September 30, 2025.

Notwithstanding our negative working capital position at September 30, 2025, we believe we have sufficient resources to repay or refinance the current portion of our debt and finance lease obligations and to fund our foreseeable liquidity requirements during the next 12 months. However, as our maturing debt grows in later years, we anticipate we will seek to refinance or otherwise extend our debt maturities. No assurance can be given that we will be able to complete these refinancing transactions or otherwise extend our debt maturities. In this regard, it is not possible to predict how political and economic conditions, sovereign debt concerns or any adverse regulatory developments could impact the credit and equity markets we access and, accordingly, our future liquidity and financial position. Our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms, or at all, could be adversely impacted by (i) the financial failure of any of our counterparties, which could (a) reduce amounts available under committed credit facilities and (b) adversely impact our ability to access cash deposited with any failed financial institution, and (ii) tightening of the credit markets. In addition, any weakness in the equity markets could make it less attractive to use our shares to satisfy contingent or other obligations, and sustained or increased competition, particularly in combination with adverse economic or regulatory developments, could have an unfavorable impact on our cash flows and liquidity.

For additional information concerning our debt and finance lease obligations, see notes 9 and 10, respectively, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows***

*General.* Our cash flows are subject to significant variations due to FX.

*Summary.* The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows of our continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** | |
| | **2025** | **2024** |<br>**Change** |
| | **in millions** | **in millions** | **in millions** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $580.2 | $664.1 | $(83.9) |
| Net cash provided (used) by investing activities | (607.8) | 719.9 | (1327.7) |
| Net cash used by financing activities | (273.4) | (643.5) | 370.1 |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | 158.8 | 16.1 | 142.7 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | $(142.2) | $756.6 | $(898.8) |

---

*Operating Activities.* The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a decrease in cash provided due to lower receipts of interest, (ii) a decrease in cash provided due to lower net cash receipts related to derivative instruments, (iii) an increase in cash provided due to lower payments of interest, net of €5.4 million ($6.2 million at the applicable rate) cash paid related to the partial settlement of the Vodafone Collar Loan during the second quarter of 2025, (iv) an increase due to FX, (v) an increase in cash provided by our Adjusted EBITDA and related working capital items and (vi) a decrease in cash provided due to lower dividend distributions. As further described in note 5, the Vodafone Collar and Vodafone Collar Loan were settled in full through a non-cash transaction during the third quarter of 2025. For additional information regarding the Vodafone Collar and Vodafone Collar Loan, see notes 5 and 9, respectively, to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which investors should view as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance included in our consolidated statements of operations.

*Investing Activities.* The change in net cash provided (used) by investing activities is primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in cash of $656.8 million associated with lower net cash received from the sale of our investments primarily related to the net effect of (a) lower net cash received from the sale of our investments held under SMAs and (b) €82.8 million ($95.5 million at the applicable rate) of net proceeds from the partial sale of our investment in Vodafone during the second quarter of 2025, (ii) a decrease in cash of $411.7 million in connection with the sale of our investment in All3Media during the second quarter of 2024 and (iii) a decrease in cash of $293.6 million due to higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures increased from $611.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $905.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to (a) an increase in our net local currency capital expenditures and related working capital movements, including the impact of higher capital-related vendor financing, and (b) an increase due to FX.

------

The capital expenditures we report in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows do not include amounts that are financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements. Instead, these amounts are reflected as non-cash additions to our property and equipment when the underlying assets are delivered and as repayments of debt when the principal is repaid. In this discussion, we refer to (i) our capital expenditures as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which exclude amounts financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements, and (ii) our total consolidated property and equipment additions, which include our capital expenditures on an accrual basis and amounts financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements. For further details regarding our property and equipment additions, see note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. A reconciliation of our consolidated property and equipment additions to our consolidated capital expenditures, as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, is set forth below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| | **in millions** | **in millions** |
| Property and equipment additions | $938.4 | $724.3 |
| Assets acquired under capital-related vendor financing arrangements | (72.7) | (59.3) |
| Assets acquired under finance leases |  | (0.6) |
| Changes in current liabilities related to capital expenditures | 39.8 | (52.5) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capital expenditures, net | $905.5 | $611.9 |

---

The increase in our property and equipment additions during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to (i) an increase in local currency expenditures of our subsidiaries primarily due to the net effect of (a) an increase in expenditures for new build and upgrade projects, (b) a decrease in expenditures to support new customer products and operational efficiency initiatives and (c) an increase in expenditures for the purchase and installation of CPE, and (ii) an increase due to FX.

*Financing Activities.* The decrease in net cash used by financing activities is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a decrease in cash used of $353.7 million due to lower repurchases of Liberty Global common shares, (ii) a decrease in cash used of $84.1 million due to higher net cash receipts related to derivatives, including €71.7 million ($82.7 million at the applicable rate) associated with the partial unwind and restructure of the Vodafone Collar during the second quarter of 2025 and (iii) an increase in cash used of $53.4 million due to higher net repayments of debt, including €78.2 million ($90.2 million at the applicable rate) associated with the partial settlement of the Vodafone Collar Loan during the second quarter of 2025.

------

***Adjusted Free Cash Flow***

We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities of our continuing operations, plus operating-related vendor financed expenses (which represents an increase in the period to our actual cash available as a result of extending vendor payment terms beyond normal payment terms, which are typically 90 days or less, through non-cash financing activities), less (i) cash payments in the period for capital expenditures, (ii) principal payments on operating- and capital-related amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries (which represents a decrease in the period to our actual cash available as a result of paying amounts to vendors and intermediaries where we previously had extended vendor payments beyond the normal payment terms) and (iii) principal payments on finance leases (which represents a decrease in the period to our actual cash available), each as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, with each item excluding any cash provided or used by our discontinued operations. Net cash provided by operating activities of our continuing operations includes cash paid for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions of $2.2 million and $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We believe our presentation of adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, provides useful information to our investors because this measure can be used to gauge our ability to (i) service debt and (ii) fund new investment opportunities after consideration of all actual cash payments related to our working capital activities and expenses that are capital in nature whether paid inside normal vendor payment terms or paid later outside normal vendor payment terms (in which case we typically pay in less than 365 days). Adjusted free cash flow should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, that are not deducted to arrive at these amounts. Investors should view adjusted free cash flow as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of liquidity included in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, our adjusted free cash flow may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of adjusted free cash flow.

The following table provides the details of our adjusted free cash flow:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** | **Nine months ended<br>September 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| | **in millions** | **in millions** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities of our continuing operations | $580.2 | $664.1 |
| Operating-related vendor financing additions (a) | 251.6 | 291.9 |
| Cash capital expenditures, net | (905.5) | (611.9) |
| Principal payments on operating-related vendor financing | (298.2) | (283.2) |
| Principal payments on capital-related vendor financing | (50.6) | (71.0) |
| Principal payments on finance leases | (4.4) | (2.4) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted free cash flow | $(426.9) | $(12.5) |

---

*_______________*

(a)For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, operating-related vendor financing additions represent operating-related expenses financed by an intermediary that are treated as constructive operating cash outflows and constructive financing cash inflows when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor. When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflows in our consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our adjusted free cash flow definition, we (i) add in the constructive financing cash inflow when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor as our actual net cash available at that time is not affected and (ii) subsequently deduct the related financing cash outflow when we actually pay the financing intermediary, reflecting the actual reduction to our cash available to service debt or fund new investment opportunities.

**Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

***General*** 

The capitalized terms used below have been defined in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In the following text, the terms "we," "our," "our company" and "us" may refer, as the context requires, to Liberty Global or collectively to Liberty Global and its subsidiaries.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our investments in various foreign countries and ongoing investing and financing activities. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and stock prices. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. As further described below, we have established policies, procedures and processes governing our management of market risks and the use of derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

The information in this section should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion that appears under Part II, Item 7A. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk* in our 2024 10-K. The following discussion updates selected numerical information to September 30, 2025.

Unless otherwise indicated, convenience translations into U.S. dollars are calculated as of September 30, 2025.

***Cash***

We invest our cash in highly liquid instruments that meet high credit quality standards. We are exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that the denominations of our cash and cash equivalent balances, revolving lines of credit and other short-term sources of liquidity do not correspond to the denominations of our and our subsidiaries' short-term liquidity requirements. In order to mitigate this risk, we actively manage the denominations of our cash balances in light of our and our subsidiaries' forecasted liquidity requirements. At September 30, 2025, $1,307.4 million or 78.1% and $327.5 million or 19.6% of our consolidated cash balance was denominated in euros and U.S. dollars, respectively, and $76.0 million or 88.5% of our consolidated balance of investments held under SMAs was denominated in U.S. dollars.

***Foreign Currency Risk***

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to our consolidated debt in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to repay or refinance such debt. For information regarding our use of derivative instruments to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The relationships between the primary currencies of the countries in which we operate and the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency, are shown below, per one U.S. dollar:

---

------

***Inflation and Foreign Investment Risk***

We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to labor, programming and other costs. While we attempt to increase our revenue to offset increases in costs, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. Therefore, costs could rise faster than associated revenue, thereby resulting in a negative impact on our operating results, cash flows and liquidity. The economic environment in the respective countries in which we operate is a function of government, economic, fiscal and monetary policies and various other factors beyond our control that could lead to inflation. We are unable to predict the extent that price levels might be impacted in future periods by the current state of the economies in the countries in which we operate.

***Interest Rate Risks***

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities, which include fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings by our borrowing groups. Our primary exposure to variable-rate debt is through the EURIBOR-indexed and Term SOFR-indexed debt of our borrowing groups and the variable-rate debt of certain of our other subsidiaries.

In general, we enter into derivative instruments to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Accordingly, we have entered into various derivative transactions to manage exposure to increases in interest rates. We use interest rate derivative contracts to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest rates calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. From time to time, we also use interest rate cap, floor and collar agreements and swaptions that lock in a maximum interest rate if variable rates rise, but also allow our company to benefit, to a limited extent in the case of collars, from declines in market rates. Under our current guidelines, we use various interest rate derivative instruments to mitigate interest rate risk. The final maturity dates of our various portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments might, in some instances, fall short of, or extend further than, the respective maturities of the underlying variable-rate debt. In this regard, we use judgment to determine the appropriate composition and maturity dates of our portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments, taking into account the relative costs and benefits of different maturity profiles in light of current and expected future market conditions, liquidity issues and other factors. For additional information concerning the impacts of these interest rate derivative instruments, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We use benchmark interest rates to set floating rates on our debt and derivative instruments. For USD, these reference the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or Term SOFR administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited. For EUR, these reference EURIBOR administered by the European Money Markets Institute. For GBP, these reference the Sterling Overnight Index Average administered by the Bank of England.

*Weighted Average Variable Interest Rate.* At September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of our variable-rate indebtedness aggregated $6.8 billion, and the weighted average interest rate (including margin) on such variable-rate indebtedness was approximately 5.3%, excluding the effects of interest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, and without giving effect to any interest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, a hypothetical 50 basis point (0.50%) increase (decrease) in our weighted average variable interest rate would increase (decrease) our annual consolidated interest expense and cash outflows by $34.0 million. As discussed above and in note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use interest rate derivative contracts to manage our exposure to increases in variable interest rates. In this regard, increases in the fair value of these contracts generally would be expected to offset most of the economic impact of increases in the variable interest rates applicable to our indebtedness to the extent and during the period that principal amounts are matched with interest rate derivative contracts.

***Sensitivity Information***

Information concerning the sensitivity of the fair value of certain of our more significant derivative instruments to changes in market conditions is set forth below. The potential changes in fair value set forth below do not include any amounts associated with the remeasurement of the derivative asset or liability into the applicable functional currency, or the impact of market moves on our credit and debit valuation adjustments. For additional information, see notes 6 and 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

------

*Telenet Cross-currency and Interest Rate Derivative Contracts* 

Holding all other factors constant, at September 30, 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)an instantaneous increase (decrease) of 10% in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar would have decreased (increased) the aggregate fair value of the Telenet cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts by approximately €303 million ($357 million); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)an instantaneous increase in the relevant base rate of 50 basis points (0.50%) would have increased the aggregate fair value of the Telenet cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts by approximately €66 million ($77 million) and, conversely, a decrease of 50 basis points would have decreased the aggregate fair value by approximately €68 million ($79 million).

***Projected Cash Flows Associated with Derivative Instruments***

The following table provides information regarding the projected cash flows associated with our derivative instruments. The U.S. dollar equivalents presented below are based on interest rate projections and exchange rates as of September 30, 2025. These amounts are presented for illustrative purposes only and will likely differ from the actual cash payments or receipts required in future periods. For additional information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(c)Includes amounts related to our foreign currency forward contracts.

**Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

In accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the **Exchange Act**), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (the **Executives**), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Executives recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is necessarily required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and objectives. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025 effectively provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(a)Average price paid per share includes direct acquisition costs.

(b)Under our current share repurchase program, we are authorized during 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of our total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining number of our Class A and/or Class C common shares that we are authorized to repurchase during 2025 was 20.4 million. Based on the average of the respective closing share prices as of September 30, 2025, this would equate to additional share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 of approximately $236.7 million. However, the actual U.S. dollar amount of our share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 will be determined by the actual transaction date share prices during the year and could differ significantly from this amount. For additional information, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(D) The Company shall, at its own cost, use all reasonable endeavours to procure that any entity in which the Company or a member of its Group has an investment but does not have Control shall: (i) provide each Shareholder with access to and copies of such information and records (including financial data) as the Shareholder may reasonably request from time to time, including, without limitation, the information and records listed in clause 9.1(A) (as if references to the Company were references to such entities); and (ii) if required by a Shareholder as a result of that Shareholder's obligations under the rules and/or regulations of any securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which that Shareholder is subject or 72 submits, provide the relevant Shareholder with audited financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting and auditing policies determined by that Shareholder. 9.2 Retention of Records All records of the Company's Group shall be retained for a period of at least seven years (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law or regulation) from the end of the year to which such records relate, subject to policies regarding the retention of email, mobile phone and other digital records as may be established from time to time by the Company. 9.3 Access to Records Subject to clause 9.1(B), the Company agrees that it shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, upon being given reasonable notice by a Shareholder, allow such Shareholder, its auditors and professional advisers (each being under an obligation of confidentiality to such Shareholder) reasonable access to inspect, review and make copies of the books, accounting, tax and other records and information held by the Company or any entity within the Company's Group and to any of their employees, officers, advisers or premises during Working Hours. 9.4 Provision of information by Directors Subject to clause 9.1(B), each Director is irrevocably authorised by the Company to disclose any information or records belonging to or concerning the Company, any member of its Group or its or their business and assets to the Shareholder upon whose request he is nominated and appointed or any member of such Shareholder's Group, provided that the recipient is under a duty of confidentiality in relation to such information or records. 9.5 Management accounts The Company will submit: (A) a monthly report concurrently to each Shareholder within four Business Days of the end of the month (or any shorter period as agreed by the Shareholders) to which it relates showing, inter alia, the consolidated income statement including revenues, operating costs, financing costs, income taxes and other amounts, a consolidated cash flow statement and consolidated balance sheet information of the Company on a monthly, quarterly and year-to-date basis in the format and containing the information required by each Shareholder together with a comparison to the Business Plan and the corresponding prior year period, and key performance indicator statistics, to be provided: (i) in the case of the Liberty Global Shareholder, in the format requested by the Liberty Global Shareholder after reflecting any adjustments or

(B) The Shareholders and the Company each agree and acknowledge that the intention of the Shareholders is to hold their investment in the Company on the basis that it is not consolidated onto the balance sheets of their respective audited accounts (whether prepared under Liberty Global IFRS, Telefónica IFRS or Liberty Global GAAP). In the event of a change of accounting standards or practices that might require one or both Shareholders to consolidate their investment in the Company onto its balance sheet, the Shareholders agree to discuss what changes may be made to avoid such consolidation, provided always that no Shareholder shall be obliged to accept any amendment to any of its rights under this agreement (including in respect of the Reserved Matters or its right to have Directors nominated and appointed upon its request) without its consent. 9.7 Audit costs The Shareholders acknowledge that the auditors of the Liberty Global Shareholder's Group are the Auditors as at the date of this agreement. The Company shall, at its own cost, provide the auditors of the Telefónica Shareholder's Group and the Liberty Global Shareholder's Group (to the extent such auditors are not the Auditors at the relevant time) with reasonable and timely access to the Auditors and to the Company's accounting books and records and the working papers of Auditors in relation to their audit of the Company, as may be reasonably necessary for such auditors to complete their audit. The Company agrees to reimburse the relevant Shareholder for all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by its auditors in each Accounting Period in receiving briefings from and reviewing relevant information provided by the Company and the Auditors. 9.8 Internal controls If the Liberty Global Shareholder or the Telefónica Shareholder determines, each at its own discretion (acting reasonably), that the Company and its Group should comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) or any EU internal control requirements, the Company and its 75 Group shall adopt such additional internal control requirements. Any costs and expenses incurred in connection with this clause 9.8, including, but not limited to, the cost of assessment, implementation, on-going administration, compliance and necessary auditor attestation, shall be paid by the Company without reimbursement from the Shareholders. 10. BUSINESS PLANS 10.1 The Company shall procure that the Executive Management shall prepare a draft Business Plan which is submitted to the Board to replace the existing Business Plan (a "Draft Revised Business Plan") by no later than 60 calendar days prior to the end of each Accounting Period following the date of this agreement, comprising (i) a detailed operating budget for the 12 months comprising the next Accounting Period; and (ii) a financial and strategic plan for the 36 months subsequent to the period covered by the detailed operating budget, or in such other format as has been approved in accordance with clause 4 (Reserved Matters). 10.2 Each Draft Revised Business Plan submitted to the Board in accordance with clause 10.1 shall address, but not be limited to, the items and subject matter of the Initial Business Plan. 10.3 Each Draft Revised Business Plan shall be reviewed by the Board in conjunction with the Executive Management and shall be finalised by the Executive Management (taking into account the direction and comments of the Board) prior to the start of the period to which it relates. Promptly following such finalisation, the Draft Revised Business Plan shall be proposed for approval by the Board and (subject to clause 4.2(A)(xxviii) (Reserved Matters)) adopted as the Business Plan by the Board in accordance with clause 8 (Proceedings of the Board). The Board shall use reasonable endeavours to approve the Business Plan under clause 10.1 prior to the start of the last month of the Accounting Period. 10.4 In the event that a Draft Revised Business Plan is not approved and adopted as the Business Plan by the Board, the Executive Management will continue to operate the business of the Company in accordance with the most recent approved Business Plan. In the event that the most recent approved Business Plan does not cover the next applicable period under clause 10.1, the business of the Company shall be operated in accordance with the most recently approved Business Plan, adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the percentage change in the Consumer Prices Index (as published by the UK Office for National Statistics) for the relevant period. 11. DIVIDEND POLICY 11.1 Subject to (i) the availability of sufficient distributable reserves to support dividends (but without prejudice to the Company's obligations under clause 11.3), an ability to buyback Shares from each Shareholder, an ability to make upstream loans from the Company (or any member of the Company's Group) to each Shareholder (or any member of each Shareholder's Group) or an ability to make payments in respect of Shareholder Loans, 76 (ii) compliance with all then existing financing documentation of the Company and its Group, (iii) adjustments for any one-off capital expenditure expressly approved in writing by the Shareholders or expressly set out in the relevant 12 month operating budget of the Business Plan and (iv) applicable law and regulation (including directors' fiduciary duties), the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each Quarterly Accounting Period, distribute to each Shareholder, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest, an amount equal to the Distributable Amount. The Company shall give notice in writing to the Shareholders of the Distributable Amount available for distribution as soon as it has been determined and the proposed distribution payment date. The means of distribution of the Distributable Amount shall be by way of dividend, by way of the proportionate buyback of Shares by the Company, by way of rateable repayment of principal and/or payment of any accrued interest on any outstanding Shareholder Loans and/or upstream loans from the Company (or any member of the Company's Group) to each Shareholder (or any member of each Shareholder's Group), as determined by the Shareholders (acting jointly and having considered the most efficient means of making the distribution from a tax perspective). 11.2 The Shareholders agree that the annual distribution guidance for the Company will be expressed as a range, unless both Shareholders agree to an absolute amount, and that the Company shall, on or about the time of the publication of the consolidated audited accounts of the Company's Group for each 12 month period ending on 31 December, make such guidance as to its annual target distribution range for the following Accounting Period publicly available. Each Shareholder agrees to use all reasonable endeavours and to co-operate to ensure that the distributions from the Company's Group to the Shareholders are stable, predictable and grow over time as operating performance improves, synergies are realised and organic free cash flow grows to provide cash and/or the necessary leverage capacity for such distributions. The Shareholders further agree that the common objective is dividend stability and commitment to annual group free cash flow guidance and therefore, once the Company gives such guidance for each year, the Shareholders agree to make distributions even if the Leverage Ratio will exceed 5.0:1, provided that if the Company ends the year with a Leverage Ratio above 5.0:1, the distribution policy for the following year will be set with the objective of bringing the Leverage Ratio back towards 5.0:1 by 31 December of that year, unless otherwise agreed by both Shareholders. 11.3 The Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that it is able to distribute the Distributable Amount pursuant to clause 11.1, including upstreaming cash from members of the Company's Group to the Company and maximising the available distributable reserves of the Company (including taking such actions as the Board considers appropriate to increase the amount of distributable reserves by carrying out a reduction of capital of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company or otherwise), subject to, in respect of the O2 Daisy Group only, clause 11.1 (Dividend Policy) of the O2 Daisy Shareholders' Agreement. The Company shall, and shall procure that each other member of the Company's Group shall, consult with, and have regard to the comments and suggestions of, the Shareholders as to the means of any distribution by a member of the Company's Group (other than the Company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;77 11.4 The Company shall instruct the Auditors to report on the distributable reserves position of the Company at the same time as they sign their report on the audited accounts. 11.5 The Company shall, so far as it is legally able, procure that (and the Shareholders shall, so far as they are legally able, exercise their rights in relation to the Company, including as provided in clause 22.1(C) (Shareholder undertakings), to procure that) all resolutions for the declaration or payment of dividends, distributions or other payments required by this clause 11 are duly passed by the relevant members of the Company's Group and the Board (as applicable). 12. FUNDING AND CASH MANAGEMENT 12.1 It is the intention of the Shareholders and the Company that the Company is self- funding and all members of its Group should be capable of financing their activities on a standalone basis. 12.2 Subject to clause 4 (Reserved Matters), and clauses 12.3, 12.4 and 12.7 below, the parties acknowledge and agree that if the Board concludes that the Company's funding requirements exceed its available cash resources from time to time, it will consider whether or not to seek funding in the following order of priority: (A) external debt financing on arm's length terms without recourse to the Shareholders; and (B) if such further finance cannot be raised on terms reasonably acceptable to the Board, to request from both Shareholders in proportion to each Shareholder's Percentage Interest either: (i) Shareholder Loans on arm's length terms; and/or (ii) subscriptions, in cash, for additional Shares. 12.3 No Shareholder shall be obliged or permitted to provide any funding, whether in the form of equity or debt, to the Company by way of subscription for further shares or by way of loans or subscription for loan notes unless both Shareholders agree to provide the funding in proportion to each Shareholder's Percentage Interest and the Shareholders agree in writing on the amount and method of providing the funding. 12.4 Notwithstanding clause 12.3, where the Board has made a request for further funding pursuant to clause 12.2, but either Shareholder has declined to provide further funding in accordance with clause 12.3, and, the Company's Group is, at that time, in a financial situation where, in the reasonable opinion of either Shareholder, the Company's Group is facing severe financial difficulties and requires emergency funding, either Shareholder may, by giving written notice, request a meeting between senior representatives of each Shareholder to discuss providing further shareholder funding to the Company. The Shareholders shall ensure that such meeting takes place within 10 Business Days of receipt of the notice and shall, at that meeting, discuss in good faith different options to 78 provide emergency funding to the Company, including in a manner other than on a pro rata basis in proportion to each Shareholder's Percentage Interest. 12.5 The Company's Group shall maintain an external committed revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount between £1 billion and £1.5 billion at all times. The Company's Group shall allow each of the RCF Banks to bid and be considered for ancillary banking business of the Company's Group. 12.6 Cash collected by members of the Company's Group (other than members of the O2 Daisy Group) shall be swept to a designated account of the Company or any member of its Group and deposited for periods not exceeding 90 calendar days or for the period until the estimated date of the next distribution in accordance with clause 11 (Dividend Policy) (whichever is shorter). Such deposits shall be made with money market funds with a credit rating of AAA with at least one international credit rating agency and a net asset value of at least £500 million provided that such deposits shall not represent more than five per cent. of the net asset value of any individual money market fund at any time, save that a cash balance of up to £10 million may be held with RCF Banks with a credit rating of Baa1/BBB+ or better with at least one international credit rating agency. 12.7 Shareholder Loans (A) Any Shareholder Loan shall be on terms such that it does not have an adverse impact on the credit rating of the Company, any member of the Company's Group or of any financial indebtedness of the Company's Group owed to any third party in accordance with the relevant criteria of each Ratings Agency as amended from time to time. (B) If the relevant criteria of any Ratings Agency changes such that the treatment of the Shareholder Loan changes adversely from a credit rating standpoint, the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder shall cooperate with the Company in a commercially reasonable manner to amend the terms of each relevant Shareholder Loan to mitigate, to the greatest extent possible, such adverse credit rating impact. 12.8 O2 Daisy (A) The Company shall procure that the O2 Daisy Shareholder shall: (i) not agree to provide any additional financing (including any O2 Daisy Catch-up Shareholder Loan) and/or the form of such additional financing to O2 Daisy or any other member of the O2 Daisy Group, without the prior written consent of the Shareholders; (ii) consult with, and have regard to the comments and suggestions of, the Shareholders in respect of the terms of the O2 Daisy Shareholder Loans; 79 (iii) not agree to refinance any Financial Indebtedness of the O2 Daisy Group (including, without limitation, any of the Formation Facilities) with third-party external debt financing without the prior written consent of the Shareholders; and (iv) consult with, and have regard to the comments and suggestions of, the Shareholders in respect of the timing, terms and implementation of any O2 Daisy External Refinancing. 13. TARGET LEVERAGE RATIO 13.1 It is the intention of the Shareholders that they manage the corporate finance structuring and execution, credit rating, debt investor relations, hedging and covenant monitoring activities of the Company's Group in accordance with this clause 13. 13.2 The Shareholders agree, and the Company acknowledges, that (i) the Company's Group shall be managed so as to maintain a Leverage Ratio of between 4.0:1 and 5.0:1 (inclusive) (the "Target Leverage Ratio") and (ii) the Shareholders intend to cooperate in relation to the matters set out in this clause 13. 13.3 For the purposes of this agreement, the calculation of the Leverage Ratio shall be done on the following basis: (A) where the relevant financial information does not include one or more members of the Company's Group on a consolidated basis, the financial information available for such members of the Company's Group on an unconsolidated basis for that period (or part of that period) may be used to calculate the EBITDA for the Company's Group on a combined basis for that period (or any part of that period); (B) Financial Indebtedness of the Company's Group originally denominated in any currency other than pounds sterling that has been swapped, directly or indirectly through one or more foreign exchange hedging transactions, into pounds sterling, will be taken into account at its pounds sterling equivalent using the effective exchange rate in the relevant foreign exchange hedging transactions; (C) all the terms used in the relevant definitions are to be calculated in accordance with the Relevant Accounting Principles; (D) notwithstanding clauses 13.3(A) and 13.3(B) above, Non-Hedged Debt will be taken into account at its pounds sterling equivalent calculated using the same weighted average exchange rates for the relevant ratio period used in the profit and loss statements of the relevant accounts of the Company's Group for calculating the pounds sterling equivalent of EBITDA denominated in the same currency as the currency in which that Non-Hedged Debt is denominated or into which it has been swapped; 80 (E) if there is any dispute on any interpretation or computation in respect of the Leverage Ratio, the Company shall adopt the position agreed in respect of any equivalent interpretation or computation for reporting purposes under the Existing Liberty Global Target Group SFA; (F) no unrealised synergies or cost savings shall be taken into account; (G) subject to clause 13.3(F), EBITDA for the relevant period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect to any transaction, investment, acquisition, disposition, restructuring, corporate reorganisation or otherwise as if it occurred on the first day of such period; and (H) if any amendments are made by the Company to the equivalent components of the definitions and/or interpretation clauses in the Existing Liberty Global Target Group SFA as those set out in this agreement, this agreement shall be deemed to be amended mutatis mutandis. 13.4 The Shareholders will procure that as part of the quarterly financial reporting package prepared in accordance with clause 9.5 (Management accounts) in respect of a Quarterly Accounting Period, the CFO of the Company (with advice from, and in consultation with, the Shareholders) will calculate the Leverage Ratio as at the end of, and with respect to, that Quarterly Accounting Period and shall give written notice of the same, including the underlying calculations and reconciliations, to the Shareholders. No filing of a covenant certificate or public announcement (including any presentations of the Leverage Ratio in any public or private offering memorandum, information memorandum or prospectus, or in any documents or other materials provided to ratings agencies) of the Leverage Ratio shall be made without the prior written approval of both Shareholders. 13.5 Subject to clause 13.7 and clause 13.17, if the Leverage Ratio as at the end of a Quarterly Accounting Period is: (A) less than 4.0:1 and it is reasonably expected that immediately following a Type 1 Recapitalisation the Company will have sufficient distributable reserves or Shareholder Loans to facilitate any distribution required by clause 13.11 or the parties have agreed to distribute the proceeds of the Type 1 Recapitalisation by way of an upstream loan from the Company to the Shareholders or by way of a proportionate buyback of Shares by the Company, in each case, pursuant to clause 13.11 either Shareholder shall be entitled by giving written notice to the other and to the Company to procure the implementation by the Company of a recapitalisation of the Company's Group (a "Type 1 Recapitalisation") in order to increase the Leverage Ratio to within the Target Leverage Ratio as soon as reasonably practicable; or (B) subject to clause 13.6, greater than or equal to 4.0:1 but less than 5.0:1 and it is reasonably expected that immediately following a Type 2 Recapitalisation the Company will have sufficient distributable reserves or Shareholder Loans to

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;81 facilitate any distribution required by clause 13.11 or the parties have agreed to distribute the proceeds of the Type 2 Recapitalisation by way of an upstream loan from the Company to the Shareholders or by way of a proportionate buyback of Shares by the Company, in each case, pursuant to clause 13.11, either Shareholder shall be entitled by giving written notice to the other and to the Company to procure the implementation by the Company of a recapitalisation of the Company's Group (a "Type 2 Recapitalisation") in order to increase the Leverage Ratio but so that it remains within the Target Leverage Ratio as soon as reasonably practicable. 13.6 A Shareholder may only exercise its right to procure that the Company implements a Type 2 Recapitalisation: (A) once in any 12 month period; and (B) in addition to 13.6(A) above, at any time where the purpose of the Type 2 Recapitalisation is to fund the acquisition by the Company or a member of its Group of a licence to use a spectrum band. 13.7 Neither Shareholder may exercise its right to require that the Company implement a Recapitalisation if the Company's free cash flow (excluding any amounts utilised to fund the acquisition by the Company or a member of its Group of a licence to use a spectrum band) for the previous 12 month period is negative according to the most recent management accounts provided in accordance with clause 9.5 (Management Accounts). 13.8 If at the end of any Quarterly Accounting Period there is any outstanding Financial Indebtedness with a remaining term of less than three years, or the weighted average remaining term of all outstanding Financial Indebtedness is less than six years, excluding, in each case, vendor financing and securitisation transactions, either Shareholder shall be entitled by giving written notice to the other and to the Company to procure the implementation by the Company of a refinancing by the Company's Group (a "Refinancing"). 13.9 Recapitalisations and Refinancings shall be implemented in accordance with the Treasury Principles, to the extent reasonable in the circumstances having regard to the cost of such Recapitalisations and Refinancings. If either Shareholder exercises a right to procure that the Company implement a Recapitalisation or Refinancing pursuant to clauses 13.5 and 13.8 respectively, the other Shareholder will take all necessary steps to procure that the Company complies with any such Recapitalisation or Refinancing (as applicable) provided that the relevant Recapitalisation or Refinancing (as applicable) is organised, and raised on terms that are, in accordance with the Treasury Principles. For the avoidance of doubt, the Treasury Principles shall not apply to any financing arrangements that are in place as at the date of this agreement. 13.10 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 13.5 and clause 13.8 and Treasury Principle (B), to the extent not implemented on or prior to the date of this agreement, the 82 Shareholders agree to implement a Recapitalisation as soon as practicable, taking into account the associated costs and prevailing market conditions, after the date of this agreement, provided that following such Recapitalisation the pro forma Net Indebtedness of the Company's Group does not exceed £18.0 billion. The Shareholders further agree that the base case assumption is that such Recapitalisation will be implemented through the issue by a member of the Company's Group of new high yield bonds and/or loans based on terms similar to the Liberty Global Shareholder's Group's existing senior secured financial indebtedness as at the date of this agreement. The Telefónica Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the entities comprising the Telefónica Transferred Group will, if necessary for the purposes of the Recapitalisation, become borrowers or issuers and/or accede as guarantors and provide any required security under the relevant financing documents at or prior to closing of such Recapitalisation (only to the extent permitted by the terms of the financing agreements applicable to such entities as at the relevant time). 13.11 Upon completion of a Recapitalisation and, subject to the availability of sufficient distributable reserves or Shareholder Loans, if applicable (but without prejudice to the Company's obligations under clause 13.12), and applicable law and regulation (including directors' fiduciary duties), the Company shall distribute to each Shareholder, in proportion to its respective Percentage Interest, an amount equal to the net proceeds from such Recapitalisation. The Company shall give notice in writing to the Shareholders of the amount of the net proceeds available for distribution promptly following completion of the Recapitalisation and the proposed distribution payment date. Distributions made pursuant to this clause 13.11 shall be made by way of cash dividend or, if the Shareholders (acting jointly and having considered the most efficient means of making the distribution from a tax perspective) notify the Company in writing in advance, by way of rateable repayment of principal and/or payment of any accrued interest on any outstanding Shareholder Loans, by way of new upstream loans from the Company to the Shareholders or by way of a proportionate buyback of Shares by the Company. 13.12 In order to enable the Company to satisfy its obligations under clause 13.11, the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that it is able to distribute to each Shareholder, in proportion to its Percentage Interest, an amount equal to the net proceeds from the Recapitalisation by upstreaming cash from members of its Group and ensuring that it has sufficient distributable reserves to make such distributions. In particular, it shall take such actions as the Board considers appropriate to increase the amount of distributable reserves for any Quarterly Accounting Period where there might otherwise be a shortfall in the amount of available distributable reserves, including by carrying out a reduction of capital of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company. 13.13 The Company shall, so far as it is legally able, procure that (and the Shareholders shall, so far as they are legally able, exercise their rights in relation to the Company to procure that) all resolutions for the declaration or payment of dividends or other distributions consistent with this clause 13 are duly passed by the relevant members of the Company's Group and the Board (as applicable). 83 13.14 Each Shareholder shall procure that the Company, and shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Directors nominated by it, provide assistance to each Shareholder in connection with a Recapitalisation or Refinancing, including by providing access to the books and records, documents and employees of the Company and members of its Group, and any information that a Shareholder may reasonably request (including, where applicable, for the purposes of any public or private offering memorandum, information memorandum or prospectus, or in any documents or other materials provided to ratings agencies). The parties agree that the Company shall assist in the marketing of any debt securities including by preparing for and attending investor and rating agency meetings. 13.15 No later than 60 Business Days prior to the end of each Accounting Period, the Shareholders shall meet to discuss in good faith possible amendments to the Treasury Principles that would take effect, unless the Shareholders agree otherwise, from the start of the next Accounting Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Shareholders do not agree any amendments to the Treasury Principles, the Treasury Principles shall continue to apply. 13.16 The Company shall procure that the O2 Daisy Shareholder shall not exercise its right to procure that O2 Daisy implement an O2 Daisy Recapitalisation pursuant to clause 13.5 (Target Leverage Ratio) of the O2 Daisy Shareholders' Agreement without the prior written consent of the Shareholders. 13.17 The provisions of this clause 13 shall not apply during any period where (i) an IPO Notice has been served in accordance with clause 19.1(A) and for so long as the process following such notice has not lapsed or terminated or (ii) a ROFO Offer is accepted by the Exiting Shareholder in accordance with clause 16.1(F) (ROFO) and for so long as such sale does not terminate in accordance with clause 16.1(F) (ROFO). 14. RESTRICTIONS ON DEALING WITH SHARES 14.1 Restrictions on Disposals No Disposal of any Share or Shareholder Loan shall be permitted except a transfer of the entire legal and beneficial interest in the Share or Shareholder Loan which is permitted by and undertaken in accordance with the other terms of this agreement. 14.2 Lock-in period No Disposal of any Share or Shareholder Loan shall be permitted prior to the third anniversary of the date of this agreement except in accordance with clause 14.4 (Security over Shares), clause 15.1 (Transfers to Wholly-owned Affiliates) or clause 17.3 (Call option). 84 14.3 No partial transfers Notwithstanding any other provisions of this agreement, except in accordance with clause 15.1 (Transfers to Wholly-owned Affiliates) and clause 19 (IPO), no Disposal of any Share or Shareholder Loan shall be permitted unless all Shares or Shareholder Loans held by the relevant Shareholder and members of its Group are transferred concurrently to the same transferee. 14.4 Security over Shares (A) Notwithstanding clause 14.1, each Shareholder shall, at any time, be permitted to create or permit to subsist any pledge, charge, mortgage, lien or other security interest or encumbrance (a "Relevant Security Interest") over all (but not some only) of the Shares held by that Shareholder or any member of its Group in favour of one or more financial institutions in connection with any arm's length financing provided by such financial institution(s) to the Shareholder's Group (each, a "Relevant Securityholder") provided that: (i) all of the voting rights attaching to the Shares subject to the Relevant Security Interest remain with the Shareholder that holds such Shares, unless and until the Relevant Security Interest is enforced by the Relevant Securityholder; and (ii) each Relevant Securityholder has, at the time the Relevant Security Interest is created, an investment grade credit rating or better by at least one international credit rating agency. 14.5 Transfer of Shares and Shareholder Loans Except in connection with a transfer to a Wholly-owned Affiliate pursuant to clause 15.1 (Transfers to Wholly-owned Affiliates), no Disposal of: (A) Shares shall be permitted to any person unless all the outstanding Shareholder Loans held by the transferring Shareholder and each member of its Group are transferred, at par value together with an assignment of the rights to any accrued but unpaid interest, to such person; and (B) Shareholder Loans shall be permitted to any person unless all of the Shares held by the transferring holder of the Shareholder Loans and each member of its Group are transferred to such person, and all provisions in this agreement relating to the transfer of Shares or Shareholder Loans shall be construed accordingly.

TRANSFER OF SHARES FOR CONVENIENCE 16.1 ROFO (A) Either Shareholder (an "Exiting Shareholder") may at any time from the fifth anniversary of the date of this agreement serve a written notice (an "Exit Notice") on the other Shareholder (the "Non-Exiting Shareholder") notifying the Non-Exiting Shareholder of its intention to sell all of the Shares to a third party (a "Joint Exit"). An Exit Notice may not be served if an IPO Notice or Group Sale Notice has already been served by the other Shareholder and the process following such notice has not lapsed or terminated. (B) The Exiting Shareholder may only serve an Exit Notice on the Non-Exiting Shareholder if the chief executive officer of the Exiting Shareholder's Ultimate Parent has notified the chief executive officer of the Non-Exiting Shareholder's Ultimate Parent of its intention to do so at least 30 calendar days before the date of the Exit Notice. If both Shareholders serve an Exit Notice, the valid Exit Notice for the purposes of this clause 16.1 shall be the Exit Notice sent by the Shareholder whose Ultimate Parent's chief executive officer notified the chief executive officer of the other Shareholder's Ultimate Parent first. If the chief executive officer of the Non-Exiting Shareholder's Ultimate Parent notifies the chief executive officer of the Exiting Shareholder's Ultimate Parent that the Non- Exiting Shareholder also wishes to pursue a sale of the Company, the Shareholders shall discuss in good faith for the remainder of the 30 calendar day period whether they wish to initiate jointly a sale process in respect of all of the Shares to a third party and the structure and terms of such sale process. (C) Upon the receipt of an Exit Notice, the Non-Exiting Shareholder may either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;89 (i) subject to clause 16.1(D), at any time within four weeks from the date of the Exit Notice, serve a written notice on the Exiting Shareholder stating that it wishes to defer the Joint Exit (a "Deferral Notice"); or (ii) at any time within twelve weeks from the date of the Exit Notice, serve a written notice on the Exiting Shareholder stating that it wishes to purchase all the Shares (the "ROFO Shares") held by the Exiting Shareholder (a "ROFO Notice"). The ROFO Notice shall: (a) be irrevocable; (b) state the consideration payable (which shall be cash and/or listed shares of the Ultimate Parent of the Non-Exiting Shareholder) for the ROFO Shares, expressed as a fixed pounds sterling amount, and all the other terms (the "ROFO Terms") on which the ROFO Shares are proposed to be purchased, which shall not impose any obligation on the Exiting Shareholder apart from the obligations (a) to sell the full and unencumbered ownership of the ROFO Shares to the Non- Exiting Shareholder together with all rights attaching thereto and (b) to provide standard title, capacity, authority and no insolvency warranties; and (c) contain a bona fide offer (the "ROFO Offer") from the Non- Exiting Shareholder to purchase the ROFO Shares from the Exiting Shareholder on the ROFO Terms including to pay the entire fixed consideration on completion of the sale and purchase (whether payment of cash consideration or settlement of any share consideration, which for the avoidance of doubt shall be listed upon settlement), provided that completion of the ROFO Offer may, if so notified in the ROFO Notice, be solely conditional upon, (a) the obtaining of any anti-trust approvals or consents (b) the obtaining of any other regulatory approvals and consents and (c) the obtaining of any shareholder and/or third party consents, in each case, as are mandatorily required by law or regulation in connection with the proposed acquisition of the ROFO Shares by the Non-Exiting Shareholder and their sale by the Exiting Shareholder (the "ROFO Conditions"). (D) If the Non-Exiting Shareholder serves a Deferral Notice on the Exiting Shareholder in accordance with clause 16.1(C)(i) above, the Exiting Shareholder shall terminate the Joint Exit process immediately and neither Shareholder may serve another Exit Notice for a period of six months from the date of the Exit Notice. Each Shareholder has the right to issue only one Deferral Notice for so long as it holds an interest in the Company and may only do so where a Market Conditions Reason has occurred. 90 (E) For the purposes of this clause 16, the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder agree that: (i) if the Liberty Global Shareholder offers listed shares in its Ultimate Parent as consideration for a ROFO Offer, it shall: (a) offer Class C shares (which have the stock code LBTYK as at the date of this agreement); (b) offer a combination of such Class C Shares and Class A Shares (which have the stock code LBTYA as at the date of this agreement), to be offered in proportions equal to the proportion that the value of each such share class (being the relevant total number of shares in issue (excluding shares held in treasury) multiplied by the relevant closing share price) represents of the total aggregate value of the Class C Shares and Class A Shares in issue (excluding shares held in treasury), in each case on the last trading day prior to the date of the ROFO Notice; or (c) offer the class of share which provides the broadest exposure to the profits or losses of its Ultimate Parent's Group, if at the date of the ROFO Notice the Class C shares or Class A Shares no longer exist or the rights attaching to such shares have been varied or other classes of shares have been created and its Ultimate Parent has one or more other classes of listed common or ordinary share not in existence at the date of this agreement; (ii) if the Telefónica Shareholder offers listed shares in its Ultimate Parent as consideration for a ROFO Offer and it has more than one class of listed common or ordinary share, it will offer the class of share which provides the broadest exposure to the profits or losses of its Ultimate Parent's Group; and (iii) if all or part of the consideration for the ROFO Shares comprises shares in the Ultimate Parent of the Non-Exiting Shareholder, such shares shall be valued at the Share VWAP on the date the Exiting Shareholder accepts the ROFO Offer pursuant to clause 16.1(F). (F) The Exiting Shareholder may accept the ROFO Offer contained in the ROFO Notice by providing notice in writing to the Non-Exiting Shareholder within two weeks of the date of the ROFO Notice (failing which, the ROFO Offer will expire). If the Exiting Shareholder accepts the ROFO Offer, each of the Exiting Shareholder and the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall use all reasonable endeavours to execute definitive documents in relation to the sale and purchase of the ROFO Shares (the "ROFO Transaction") as soon as practicable and in 91 any event within four weeks of the date on which the Exiting Shareholder accepted the ROFO Offer and the Exiting Shareholder and the Non-Exiting Shareholder agree that the ROFO Transaction shall be completed in accordance with clause 18 (Completion of Transfers) on the date which is the later of: (i) 10 Business Days after the date on which all of the ROFO Conditions have been satisfied or waived (in whole or in part) by mutual agreement of the Shareholders; and (ii) 10 Business Days after the date on which the Exiting Shareholder and the Non-Exiting Shareholder executed definitive documents to effect the ROFO Transaction, or on such other date as the Shareholders may agree, provided always that such date shall be no later than the ROFO Completion Deadline, failing which the ROFO Transaction shall terminate automatically. If all or any part of the consideration for the ROFO Shares comprises shares in the Ultimate Parent of the Non-Exiting Shareholder, the Non-Exiting Shareholder may elect to satisfy some or all of the non-cash consideration for the ROFO Shares in cash on completion of such transfer and, if it makes such election, the cash amount due shall be calculated based on the Share VWAP on the date the Exiting Shareholder accepted the ROFO Offer pursuant to this clause 16.1(F). (G) The Shareholders agree that the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall be entitled (subject to applicable law and regulation) to require the Company and its Group to incur additional financial debt for the purposes of financing or refinancing the purchase of the ROFO Shares by the Non-Exiting Shareholder, provided the incurring of such additional financial debt is conditional on completion of the ROFO Transaction. (H) If: (i) the Non-Exiting Shareholder serves neither (i) a Deferral Notice within four weeks from the date of the Exit Notice in accordance with clause 16.1(C)(i), nor (ii) a ROFO Notice within twelve weeks from the date of the Exit Notice in accordance with clause 16.1(C)(ii), on the Exiting Shareholder; (ii) the ROFO Transaction is terminated pursuant to clause 16.1(F); or (iii) the Exiting Shareholder does not accept the ROFO Offer within two weeks of the date of the ROFO Notice in accordance with clause 16.1(F), the Exiting Shareholder shall have the right to elect, by giving notice in writing (an "Exit Election Notice") to the Non-Exiting Shareholder and the Company 92 within one month of (x) the expiry of the twelve week period in the case of (i), (y) the termination of the ROFO Transaction in the case of (ii), or (z) the lapse of the ROFO Offer in the case of (iii) (as applicable), that it wishes to pursue: (a) a sale of all the Shares to a third party, in which case the provisions of clause 16.2 shall apply; or (b) an IPO of the Company, in which case it shall be deemed to have served an IPO Notice and the Exiting Shareholder shall be deemed to be the Initiating Shareholder and the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall be deemed to be the Receiving Shareholder, in each case for the purposes of clause 19 (IPO); or (c) a dual track process of a sale of all the Shares and an IPO of the Company, in which case both clauses 16.1(H)(a) and 16.1(H)(b) shall apply but the Exiting Shareholder shall be entitled to decide which of the two processes will be completed. (I) Each Shareholder shall act in good faith in compliance with its obligations under this clause 16.1. (J) Subject to clause 16.2(Q)(ii), each Shareholder shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with a Joint Exit, a ROFO Transaction and a Drag Sale Offer. The Company shall bear its own costs incurred and the costs incurred by any member of its Group in connection with a Joint Exit, a ROFO Transaction and a Drag Sale Offer. 16.2 Drag Sale (A) The provisions of this clause 16.2 shall only apply in the circumstances set out in clauses 16.1(H)(a) and 16.1(H)(c). (B) For the purposes of this clause 16.2, a "Drag Sale Offer" is an offer to buy all (but not some only) of the Shares then in issue at the same price per Share (which, subject to clause 16.2(G) below, shall be satisfied either in cash or part in cash and part in Marketable Securities) and otherwise, subject to clause 16.2(G) below, on the same terms per Share (together, the "Drag Sale Terms") which is: (i) made by a person (the "Drag Sale Offeror") who: (a) is not a Shareholder; (b) is not an Affiliate of any Shareholder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;93 (c) has no agreement or arrangement of any kind with any Shareholder relating to the offer other than as set out in the Drag Sale Terms; (ii) conditional on acceptance in respect of all the Shares then in issue within a maximum of two weeks of the offer being made; and (iii) subject to no conditions other than (a) the obtaining of any anti-trust approvals or consents, (b) the obtaining of any other regulatory approvals and consents, and (c) the obtaining of any shareholder and/or third party consents, as are, in each case, mandatorily required by law or regulation in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Shares by the Drag Sale Offeror and their sale by the Shareholders (the "Drag Sale Conditions"). (C) The Exiting Shareholder shall promptly commence the process of obtaining a Drag Sale Offer following service of an Exit Election Notice in the circumstances set out in clauses 16.1(H)(a) and 16.1(H)(c) and shall use all reasonable endeavours to solicit a bona fide Drag Sale Offer for all of the Shares and shall take all such steps as are reasonable in accordance with prevailing M&A market practice. To the extent that the Exiting Shareholder markets the Shares to more than one potential purchaser by way of an auction process, nothing in this clause 16 shall prohibit the Non-Exiting Shareholder from participating in such process. (D) The Exiting Shareholder undertakes to keep the Non-Exiting Shareholder informed about the progress and status of the process to obtain the Drag Sale Offer and to consult with and have regard to the reasonable representations of the Non-Exiting Shareholder in connection with any decision relating to the material terms of the Drag Sale Offer, subject to any appropriate and reasonable confidentiality obligations in circumstances where the Non-Exiting Shareholder participates in the Drag Sale Offer process. (E) If an Exit Election Notice has been served in the circumstances set out in clause 16.1(H)(iii) and the Exiting Shareholder has been unable to agree and execute legally binding documents to effect a Drag Sale Offer within six months of the date of the ROFO Offer, the Exiting Shareholder shall: (i) immediately terminate the sale process initiated pursuant to this clause 16.2; (ii) immediately notify the Non-Exiting Shareholder of the termination of the sale process initiated pursuant to this clause 16.2; and (iii) not be permitted to issue another Exit Notice, Group Sale Notice or IPO Notice for a period of 12 months following the date on which the Exiting Shareholder notifies the Non-Exiting Shareholder of the termination of 94 the sale process initiated pursuant to this clause 16.2 in accordance with clause 16.2(E)(ii). (F) If the Exiting Shareholder agrees legally binding documents to effect a Drag Sale Offer, then, prior to executing such documents, it shall deliver a written notice (a "Drag Notice") to the Company and the Non-Exiting Shareholder stating: (i) the identity of, and the amount of the consideration offered by, the Drag Sale Offeror, expressed as a price per Share (which shall be satisfied, subject to clause 16.2(G) either (x) in cash or (y) part in cash and part in Marketable Securities, provided that the percentage of the aggregate consideration to be satisfied by the issue and/or transfer of Marketable Securities shall not exceed 50 per cent.) to be satisfied upon completion of the sale and purchase; and (ii) the terms and conditions of payment of such consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag Sale Offer (including any locked box or leakage mechanism but, for the avoidance of doubt, representations and warranties proposed to be provided to the Drag Sale Offeror need not be included in the Drag Notice, provided such representations and warranties are customary in the context of a sale process for the Shares, have been negotiated by the Exiting Shareholder in good faith and such representations and warranties do not represent a mechanism to transfer value to the Drag Sale Offeror). (G) Notwithstanding clause 16.2(F)(i), a Drag Notice may state that: (i) the percentage of the aggregate consideration to be satisfied by the issue and/or transfer of Marketable Securities shall exceed 50 per cent., provided that: (a) unless clause 16.2(G)(i)(b) applies, the percentage of the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Non-Exiting Shareholder which is to be satisfied by the issue and/or transfer of Marketable Securities shall not exceed 50 per cent.; and (b) the Non-Exiting Shareholder may notify the Exiting Shareholder within 20 Business Days of delivery to it of the Drag Notice that the Non-Exiting Shareholder elects to increase the proportion of the aggregate consideration to be paid to it which is to be satisfied by the issue and/or transfer of Marketable Securities up to a maximum number of Marketable Securities as is equal to the Non-Exiting Shareholder's Percentage Interest of the total number of Marketable Securities offered by the Drag Sale Offeror in consideration for all of the Shares; or 95 (ii) the consideration offered by the Drag Sale Offeror is to be satisfied part in cash and part in securities that are not Marketable Securities (the "Non-Marketable Securities"), provided that the Non-Exiting Shareholder (unless the Non-Exiting Shareholder agrees otherwise) receives only cash consideration of an amount which, on a per Share basis, is equal to the value of the Non-Marketable Securities to be issued as consideration (on a per Share basis) as at the date on which the Exiting Shareholder executes legally binding documents to effect a Drag Sale Offer. (H) If all or part of the consideration for the Shares on a Drag Sale Offer comprises Marketable Securities: (i) the Marketable Securities shall be valued at the Marketable Security VWAP on the date the Exiting Shareholder executes legally binding documents to effect a Drag Sale Offer; (ii) if the percentage of the aggregate consideration to be satisfied by the issue and/or transfer of Marketable Securities is 50 per cent., the Non- Exiting Shareholder may elect to decrease the number of Marketable Securities it is to be issued and/or transferred and increase the proportion of consideration it is to receive in cash and require the Exiting Shareholder to be issued and/or transferred such additional number of Marketable Securities and reduce the proportion of consideration the Exiting Shareholder is to receive in cash so that on completion of that Drag Sale Offer, the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall receive 40 per cent. of its consideration in Marketable Securities and the Exiting Shareholder shall receive 60 per cent. of its consideration in Marketable Securities; (iii) subject to clause 16.2(I) below, the Marketable Securities shall not, when issued and allotted or transferred to the Exiting Shareholder and the Non-Exiting Shareholder, represent more than 25 per cent. of the free float of the issuer of the Marketable Securities; (iv) the Exiting Shareholder and the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall enter into orderly marketing and lock-up arrangements on terms and conditions for each Shareholder that are within reasonable market parameters with the Drag Sale Offeror, each on the same terms and conditions as are negotiated in good faith and agreed between the Exiting Shareholder and the Drag Sale Offeror, in respect of any Marketable Securities that either of them holds on completion of the Drag Sale Offer; and (v) if the Non-Exiting Shareholder would be required to obtain any mandatory antitrust or other regulatory approval as a result of its receipt of the Marketable Securities or if receipt of the Marketable Securities 96 would require the Non-Exiting Shareholder to make a mandatory takeover offer to any holders of securities in the issuer of such Marketable Securities (and such mandatory requirement cannot be avoided by the Non-Exiting Shareholder decreasing the proportion of the consideration to be satisfied by the issuance and allotment or transfer of Marketable Securities), the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall be dragged in accordance with clause 16.2(K) if the Drag Sale Offeror offers a cash alternative to the Non-Exiting Shareholder. (I) If the Marketable Securities shall, when issued and allotted or transferred, represent more than 25 per cent. of the free float of the issuer of the Marketable Securities, the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall be dragged in accordance with clause 16.2(K) only if: (i) the Exiting Shareholder procures that the Non-Exiting Shareholder receives only cash consideration at the same price per Share as the Exiting Shareholder; or (ii) the Non-Exiting Shareholder elects to receive any Marketable Securities as part of its consideration in connection with such Drag Sale Offer. (J) Where the Exit Election Notice has been served by the Exiting Shareholder in the circumstances set out in clause 16.1(H)(ii) or clause 16.1(H)(iii), in order for the Non-Exiting Shareholder to be dragged in accordance with clause 16.2(K): (i) the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall not be obliged to give any warranties (other than in respect of title, capacity, authority and no insolvency) to the Drag Sale Offeror; and (ii) the price per Share set out in the Drag Notice must be an amount at least the Specified Percentage greater than the fixed amount set out in the ROFO Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this clause 16.2(J) shall not apply where the Exit Election Notice has been served in the circumstances set out in clause 16.1(H)(i). (K) If the Exiting Shareholder delivers a Drag Notice in accordance with the provisions of clause 16.2(F), the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall be deemed to have accepted such offer on the same terms and conditions as accepted by the Exiting Shareholder (save as set out in the Drag Sale Terms and subject to clauses 16.2(G), 16.2(H), 16.2(I) and 16.2(J)) and, following execution of the definitive sale documentation by the Exiting Shareholder and the Drag Sale Offeror (a copy of which shall be provided to the Non-Exiting Shareholder), shall be obliged to transfer all of the Shares held by it to the Drag Sale Offeror on the Drag Sale Terms subject to compliance with the remaining provisions of this clause 16.2.

(O) Each Shareholder shall act in good faith when complying with its obligations set out in this clause 16.2. (P) The Shareholders shall appoint external legal counsel, reporting accountants and such other advisers as may reasonably be required (in each case at their own cost).

(R) At any time after the date of the Drag Notice the Non-Exiting Shareholder may, acting reasonably, request periodic updates from the Exiting Shareholder on the status of the sale process and the Exiting Shareholder shall, within five Business Days of such request, provide sufficient details of the current status of activities and the overall intended timeline to confirm that the Exiting Shareholder is continuing to pursue the process diligently and in good faith. In the event that the Exiting Shareholder fails to provide such information to the reasonable satisfaction of the Non-Exiting Shareholder then the Non-Exiting Shareholder shall have the right to give notice to the Exiting Shareholder requiring termination of the process with immediate effect and the Exiting Shareholder shall procure the same. (S) Notwithstanding the above provisions of this clause 16.2, the Exiting Shareholder shall be entitled to structure a sale of all of the assets and liabilities of the Company and its Group through a structure other than a sale of the Shares (such as an asset sale, merger or distribution) provided, where the Exit Election Notice has been served in the circumstances set out in 16.1(H)(iii) that it can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Non-Exiting Shareholder that such process will deliver to the Non-Exiting Shareholder a net financial value equal to a price per Share of at least the Specified Percentage higher than the fixed amount set out in the ROFO Notice. 99 16.3 Cooling off period Save where clause 16.1(D) or clause 16.2(E)(iii) applies, following service of a valid Exit Notice, no other Exit Notice or IPO Notice may be served by either Shareholder for a period of 12 months after the earlier of the following events: (a) the process provided for in this clause 16 having concluded without there being a sale of Shares; or (b) the Exiting Shareholder having given notice to the Non-Exiting Shareholder (or vice-versa) of termination of the relevant process in accordance with this clause 16. 17.

(B) Each Shareholder shall provide to the other Shareholder any information and/or evidence reasonably requested by the other Shareholder to enable it to determine whether an Event of Default has occurred in respect of that Shareholder within ten Business Days after the request is received (and for the avoidance of doubt a Shareholder may make such request at any time that it reasonably believes any of the matters listed in clause 17.1(A) may have occurred in respect of the other Shareholder, irrespective of whether an applicable cure period has elapsed). 17.2 Default Notice (A) This clause 17.2 shall apply if, in the reasonable opinion of a Shareholder (the "Non-Defaulting Shareholder"), an Event of Default has occurred in relation to any Shareholder (the "Defaulting Shareholder"). (B) The Non-Defaulting Shareholder may give notice (a "Default Notice") to the Defaulting Shareholder and the Company that an Event of Default has occurred. The Default Notice must identify the particular Event of Default that the Non-Defaulting Shareholder claims has occurred and to the extent available must include evidence giving a reasonable basis to substantiate this claim. (C) Within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Default Notice, the Defaulting Shareholder may, acting reasonably, serve a notice in writing on the Non- Defaulting Shareholder (with a copy to the Company) (a "Default Dispute Notice") stating that it disputes that the Event of Default identified in the Default Notice has occurred. The Default Dispute Notice must include reasons and evidence giving a reasonable basis in support of the Defaulting Shareholder's position. (D) As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Default Dispute Notice, and, in any event within five Business Days, the Shareholders shall jointly appoint and instruct a King's Counsel to determine whether or not the Event of Default described in the Default Notice has occurred, such determination to be provided within 10 Business Days of the date of instruction. If the Shareholders fail to agree the appointment of a King's Counsel within the five Business Day time period, the Non-Defaulting Shareholder may request that the Chairman of the General Council of the Bar appoint a King's Counsel

(C) The Non-Defaulting Shareholder may revoke the Call Option Notice within 10 Business Days after the Prescribed Value of the Specified Shares has been determined. If the Call Option Notice is revoked, no further Call Option Notice may be served in respect of the same fact, matter or circumstances giving rise to the Event of Default. (D) If the Call Option Notice is not revoked, the transfer of the Specified Shares shall be: (i) solely conditional upon (a) the obtaining of any anti-trust approvals or consents, (b) the obtaining of any other regulatory approvals and consents, and (c) the obtaining of any shareholder and/or third party consents, in any case, as are mandatorily required by law or regulation in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Specified Shares by the Non-Defaulting Shareholder and their sale by the Defaulting Shareholder; and (ii) completed in accordance with clause 18 (Completion of Transfers), after the determination of the Prescribed Value of the Specified Shares on the date being the later of: (a) 10 Business Days after the date on which all of the conditions described in clause 17.3(D)(i) have been satisfied by the Non- Defaulting Shareholder); and (b) 10 Business Days after the date of determination of the Prescribed Value of the relevant Shares, and, in any event, must have completed in accordance with clause 18 (Completion of Transfers) within 12 months from the date of the Call Option Notice. (E) If, at any time prior to completion of the transfer of the Specified Shares, the relevant Event of Default is remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Non- Defaulting Shareholder (acting reasonably) then completion shall not occur and the rights of the Non-Defaulting Shareholder to call the Specified Shares shall be terminated in respect of such Event of Default. 17.4 Cessation of rights (A) This clause 17.4 shall apply if the Non-Defaulting Shareholder has issued a Cessation of Rights Notice in accordance with clause 17.2(E)(ii) above. Any 103 rights granted under this clause 17.4 to the Non-Defaulting Shareholder are additional to any rights the Non-Defaulting Shareholder has under clause 17.3 (Call option).

(C) The rights of the Defaulting Shareholder shall be reinstated on the day immediately following the end of the Default Period. 17.5 Protection of legitimate interests Each of the parties agrees and acknowledges that: (A) the Shareholders have a common commercial objective and interest, being the successful promotion and development of the Company's Group and the Business, and that this is dependent on, inter alia, the mutual trust, confidence 104 and co-operation between the Shareholders, their respective Groups and between the Directors; (B) this clause 17 is a common provision in agreements of this nature and is reasonable and proportionate to protect the Shareholders' legitimate interests described above; and (C) each of the Shareholders is a sophisticated commercial enterprise which has engaged legal and financial advisers to advise it in relation to this agreement. 17.6 Indemnity in respect of certain Events of Default The Defaulting Shareholder shall indemnify each of the Non-Defaulting Shareholder and the Company on demand against each loss, liability and cost which the Non-Defaulting Shareholder or the Company incurs as a result of an Event of Default set out in clause 17.1(A)(i) or clause 17.1(A)(ii). 17.7 O2 Daisy Events of Default (A) The Company shall procure that the O2 Daisy Shareholder shall: (i) notify the Company and the Shareholders of an O2 Daisy Default as soon as reasonably practicable after the O2 Daisy Shareholder becomes aware of such O2 Daisy Default; (ii) only issue an O2 Daisy Default Notice with the prior written consent of, or if directed to in writing to by, the Shareholders; (iii) issue an O2 Daisy Default Dispute Notice if directed to in writing by the Shareholders (or the Non-Defaulting Shareholder if the relevant O2 Daisy Event of Default has been caused by an Event of Default); and (iv) issue an O2 Daisy Cessation of Rights Notice if directed to in writing by a Shareholder (or the Non-Defaulting Shareholder if the relevant O2 Daisy Event of Default has been caused by an Event of Default).

IPO 19.1 IPO Notice (A) Either Shareholder (the "Initiating Shareholder") may at any time following the third anniversary of the date of this agreement serve a written notice on the other Shareholder (the "Receiving Shareholder") and the Company that it wishes to pursue an initial public offering (an "IPO") of the Company (an "IPO Notice"). Following service of an IPO Notice, each Shareholder shall use all reasonable endeavours to implement, and to procure that the Company shall implement, an IPO in accordance with this clause 19. Unless otherwise permitted by this agreement, an IPO Notice may not be served if an Exit Notice or a Group Sale Notice has been served and the process following from such notice has not lapsed or terminated, unless the Shareholders agree to undertake a dual track exit process, in which case the terms of this clause 19 shall apply. (B) Within 20 Business Days of receipt of the IPO Notice by the Receiving Shareholder and the Company, the Company, together with the Shareholders, shall interview investment banks of international repute to act as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the IPO (the "Beauty Parade"). (C) Within 30 Business Days of receipt of the IPO Notice by the Receiving Shareholder and the Company (or, if later, five Business Days after the final bank participating in the Beauty Parade has been interviewed), each Shareholder shall be entitled to nominate one investment bank from the Beauty Parade to act as a joint global coordinator and joint bookrunner for the IPO and, following such nominations, the Company and the Shareholders shall, acting jointly, appoint the nominated investment banks to act as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the IPO (the "Joint Global Coordinators"). (D) The Company may appoint an independent investment bank to act as financial adviser to the Company in connection with the IPO (the "Financial Adviser"), subject to the identity of such investment bank being approved by both Shareholders. If the Shareholders are unable to agree, the appointment of the Financial Adviser shall be referred to the chief executive officer of each Shareholder's Ultimate Parent and those executives shall meet as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event no later than 10 Business Days after the matter is referred to them) and use reasonable endeavours to resolve the appointment of the Financial Adviser. If there is no resolution between the chief executive officers, the Company shall not appoint a Financial Adviser. (E) In addition to the Joint Global Coordinators and the Financial Adviser, the Shareholders may, by mutual agreement, nominate any additional investment banks of international repute to act as bookrunners and lead managers and the Company and each Shareholder shall, acting jointly, appoint any such additional 107 investment bank to act in that capacity as soon as reasonably practicable after such nomination. (F) The terms of appointment of the Joint Global Coordinators, the Financial Adviser and any other bookrunners and lead managers shall provide that, save as may otherwise be agreed by the Shareholders, the Company shall pay the fees, commissions and expenses of the Joint Global Coordinators, the Financial Adviser, any bookrunners and lead managers and any Company Advisers (as applicable) in connection with the IPO, other than any underwriting commission on the sale of any Shares in the IPO which shall be paid by the Shareholder(s) in proportion to the number of Shares sold pursuant to the IPO. (G) The Company shall, following consultation with the Initiating Shareholder and the Receiving Shareholder, appoint, at its own cost, external legal counsel, reporting accountants and other advisers as and when may reasonably be required in order to facilitate a successful IPO (including, but not limited to, advising on the appropriate existing entity in the Company's Group or a newly incorporated entity to be listed pursuant to the proposed IPO and the jurisdiction of incorporation and tax domicile of such entity) (together, the "Company Advisers"). (H) Following the appointment of the Joint Global Coordinators, the Shareholders and the Company undertake to each other to work together in good faith with the Joint Global Coordinators in connection with the proposed IPO for the duration of the IPO process, including, but not limited to, working together with the Joint Global Coordinators in good faith so that the Joint Global Coordinators can make recommendations, subject always to the Pre-Agreed Parameters, as to (i) the Secondary IPO Venue (if required in accordance with clause 19.2(A)), (ii) the offer structure of the IPO, (iii) the equity story, (iv) optimal execution market windows, (v) capital structure and distribution policies, (vi) the governance structure of the IPO entity, and (vii) the price range and the offer size for an IPO (the "JGC Recommendations"). (I) The Shareholders agree that any IPO shall be implemented in accordance with the priorities set out below (the "IPO Principles"), and the Joint Global Coordinators shall be instructed that, when making the JGC Recommendations, they must take into account the Pre-Agreed Parameters (as defined below) and the intention of the Shareholders to achieve a successful IPO in accordance with the IPO Principles as follows: (i) maximising the valuation per Share of the Shares to be sold in the IPO (as the first priority); (ii) ensuring a good after-market performance of the listed Shares post-IPO with good liquidity levels consistent with IPOs of a similar nature (as the second priority); and 108 (iii) achieving a sale of the greatest possible number of Shares in the IPO (as the third priority), subject to any maximum number offered for sale by the Shareholders. (J) If the Joint Global Coordinators cannot agree on any JGC Recommendation in connection with the IPO, the Initiating Shareholder shall decide which of the Joint Global Coordinator's recommendations shall take precedence. (K) Without prejudice to the Initiating Shareholder's obligation to serve an IPO Tag Notice in accordance with clause 19.1(L), the Receiving Shareholder may at any time following service of an IPO Notice up until the receipt of the IPO Tag Notice give written notice to the Initiating Shareholder and to the Company that it wishes to participate in the IPO on a joint basis with the Initiating Shareholder. (L) No later than 30 Business Days ahead of any "expected intention to float announcement" in the case of an IPO on the Preferred IPO Venue or equivalent stage of the process for an IPO on a Secondary IPO Venue, the Initiating Shareholder shall serve an "IPO Tag Notice" on the Receiving Shareholder, such notice to include details of the number of Shares proposed to be offered for sale by the Initiating Shareholder pursuant to the IPO, an indicative price range for the IPO, the number of Shares that the Joint Global Coordinators recommend can be sold in the IPO, the indicative price range for the IPO recommended by the Joint Global Coordinators and details of the offer structure of the IPO, the equity story, the optimal execution market window(s), capital structure and capital allocation policies and confirmation that the terms of the IPO will be in accordance with the Pre-Agreed Parameters. Following receipt of the IPO Tag Notice, the Receiving Shareholder shall have the option, exercisable until 10 Business Days before the proposed date of any "intention to float" announcement (or its equivalent in any jurisdiction) in connection with a possible IPO, by giving written notice to the Initiating Shareholder, to participate in the sale of its Shares pursuant to the IPO (the "IPO Option"). (M) If the Receiving Shareholder exercises the IPO Option or gives notice under clause 19.1(K): (i) the number of shares that the Initiating Shareholder may offer for sale shall be reduced to such extent required to allow the Receiving Shareholder to be able to sell up to the number of Shares held by it equivalent to its Percentage Interest multiplied by the number of Shares to be offered for sale pursuant to the IPO as determined in accordance with clause 19.1(M)(iv); (ii) without prejudice to clause 19.2, the Shareholders and the Company shall proceed with the IPO and the Shareholders shall agree, taking into account the JGC Recommendations, the terms of the IPO, save that if the Shareholders are unable to agree on the terms of the IPO, the Initiating Shareholder shall decide the terms of the IPO;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;109 (iii) the Shareholders shall agree the price range per Share (or, if the Shareholders cannot agree, following an escalation to the chief executive officer of each Shareholder's Ultimate Parent, the final price range per Share shall be the price range decided by the Initiating Shareholder) and at the time of the publication of such price range per Share for the IPO (the "Published Price Range"), the Receiving Shareholder must confirm in writing to the Initiating Shareholder whether: (a) it accepts the Published Price Range, in which case the Receiving Shareholder shall be required to sell its agreed allocation of the Shares for sale pursuant to the IPO if the final price per Share for the IPO is equal to or greater than the lowest price within the Published Price Range; or (b) it rejects the Published Price Range, in which case the Receiving Shareholder shall not be permitted to offer any of the Shares held by it for sale pursuant to the IPO, but the Initiating Shareholder and the Company may still proceed with the IPO, as if the Receiving Shareholder had not elected to exercise the IPO Option or give notice under clause 19.1(K); and (iv) provided that the Receiving Shareholder has not rejected the Published Price Range in accordance with clause 19.1(M)(iii)(b), the Shareholders shall agree the final amount of Shares to be offered for sale and the final price per Share for the IPO with the Joint Global Coordinators (or failing agreement, the final amount of Shares to be offered and the final price per Share shall be those amounts and price decided by the Initiating Shareholder, provided that the final price per Share is within the Published Price Range. If the final amount of Shares to be offered for sale is lower than the number of Shares proposed to be offered for sale by the Initiating Shareholder pursuant to the IPO as set out in the IPO Tag Notice, the number of Shares that the Initiating Shareholder and Receiving Shareholder can offer for sale pursuant to the IPO shall be scaled down, pro-rata. If the final price per Share is below the Published Price Range, the Receiving Shareholder may withdraw from offering any of the Shares held by it for sale pursuant to the IPO, but the Initiating Shareholder and the Company may still proceed with the IPO on the terms decided by the Initiating Shareholder. (N) If the Receiving Shareholder does not elect to exercise the IPO Option or give notice under clause 19.1(K): (i) without prejudice to clause 19.2, the Initiating Shareholder and the Company may proceed with the IPO on the terms decided by the Initiating Shareholder; and 110 (ii) the Initiating Shareholder shall agree the final amount of Shares to be offered for sale by the Initiating Shareholder, as well as the price range per Share and the final price per Share for the IPO with the Joint Global Coordinators. (O) An IPO must be completed within 15 months of the date of the IPO Notice, failing which (unless the Shareholders otherwise agree) the Shareholders and the Company shall procure that such process is terminated. 19.2 Pre-Agreed Parameters (A) Subject to clause 19.2(B), in respect of any IPO proposed pursuant to this clause 19, the Shareholders and the Company shall pursue such IPO on the Preferred IPO Venue, unless all of the Pre-Agreed Parameters cannot be satisfied if the IPO is on the Preferred IPO Venue and both Shareholders do not agree to amend the Pre-Agreed Parameters in order to achieve such IPO on the Preferred IPO Venue, in which case the Shareholders and the Company, shall pursue an IPO on: (i) if the Pre-Agreed Parameters can only be satisfied on one of the Secondary IPO Venues, that Secondary IPO Venue on which the Pre- Agreed Parameters can be satisfied on; or (ii) if the Pre-Agreed Parameters can be satisfied on both Secondary IPO Venues, the Secondary IPO Venue that is agreed by both Shareholders. (B) If the IPO Venue is not determined or agreed by the Shareholders in accordance with clause 19.2(A), the Initiating Shareholder shall decide on which of the Secondary IPO Venues the IPO should occur. (C) If the Pre-Agreed Parameters cannot be satisfied on the Preferred IPO Venue or on the Secondary IPO Venues, the Shareholders shall discuss in good faith any necessary amendments to the Pre-Agreed Parameters. (D) In respect of any IPO proposed pursuant to this clause 19, unless both Shareholders agree otherwise in writing: (i) the post-IPO distribution policy shall require the distribution of not less than 50 per cent. of the Company's Group's annual free cash flow; (ii) the post-IPO long-term leverage target ratio of net debt to EBITDA shall be between 3.5:1 and 4.5:1; (iii) such IPO shall not include any issue of new Shares to investors in the IPO; 111 (iv) if the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder continue to hold in aggregate shares representing more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights in the Company and each of the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder continues to hold at least 20 per cent. of the Shares after the IPO, the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder shall have the right to nominate, in aggregate, non-executive directors constituting the majority of the directors for appointment, with the number of such directors that each Shareholder may nominate to be proportionate to the number of shares held in the Company after the IPO (provided that the number of non- executive directors that may be appointed by the Shareholder with the smaller holding of Shares after the IPO is always rounded up to the next whole number); (v) if each of the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder continues to hold at least 20 per cent. of the Shares after the IPO, the Shareholders shall agree to a mutual voting undertaking pursuant to which the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder each agree to vote their respective Shares in favour of the appointment of the directors nominated by the other Shareholder in accordance with clause 19.2(D)(iv); and (vi) if the difference in the number of Shares held by each of the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder from time to time after the IPO: (a) is less than or equal to five per cent. of the total voting rights in the Company at the relevant time, the Chairman shall continue to be appointed by one of the Shareholders for a two year term on a rotating basis (provided that if a Shareholder ceases to hold at least 20 per cent. of the voting rights in the Company, it shall no longer have the right to elect the Chairman and the Shareholder holding 20 per cent. or more of the voting rights in the Company shall have the sole right to appoint the Chairman); or (b) is more than five per cent. of the total voting rights in the Company at the relevant time, the Shareholder with the greater voting rights in the Company shall have the right to appoint the Chairman (provided that such Shareholder holds at least 20 per cent. of the voting rights in the Company at any given time), (together, the "Pre-Agreed Parameters"). (E) The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the obligations of the parties under this clause 19 (other than this clause 19.2) shall not be in any way affected if the post-IPO governance structure of the Company is inconsistent 112 with the Pre-Agreed Parameters and the Shareholders have agreed in writing to such inconsistency. (F) If a Shareholder will be required to consolidate the Company on its balance sheet for accounting purposes after the IPO (a "Consolidation Issue"), the Shareholders shall discuss in good faith any potential solutions which either Shareholder (acting reasonably) considers may avoid such Consolidation Issue (for the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholder that does not have the Consolidation Issue shall not be required to take any action or agree to any matter that has or would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on its economic or accounting position or its governance rights with respect to the Company), but the Shareholders agree that a Consolidation Issue shall not prevent an IPO from occurring or release the Shareholder with the Consolidation Issue from its obligations under this clause 19. (G) If and to the extent that the application of the governance principles set out in the Pre-Agreed Parameters on the relevant IPO Venue cause the Liberty Global Shareholder and the Telefónica Shareholder to be or to be deemed to be concert parties (or equivalent) with respect to the Company upon and following IPO, the Shareholders shall agree appropriate arrangements to comply with and mitigate the consequences of any regulations relating to that status. 19.3 Company obligations (A) Following the receipt of an IPO Notice, the Company undertakes to each of the Shareholders to use all reasonable efforts, take all such reasonable steps and do all such things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the IPO, as promptly as reasonably practicable, including the following: (i) take all steps required to facilitate and effect any pre-IPO reorganisation; (ii) provide all reasonable assistance and cooperation to its advisers appointed in connection with the IPO, the Shareholders (or either of them), the Joint Global Coordinators and their respective advisers; (iii) hire additional resources at its own cost to the extent required to effect the IPO; (iv) prepare any Listing Document on customary terms required in connection with the IPO and, subject to clause 19.3(A)(xi) below, have the same approved by a relevant national competent authority, securities regulator or exchange in accordance with applicable law or regulation;

Secondary tax liabilities 25.16 Subject to the provisions of clause 25.20, the Liberty Global Shareholder covenants with the Company to pay to the Company an amount equal (on an after-Tax basis) to: (A) any payment of Tax for which the Company or any Group Company is liable that would not have arisen but for the failure of any member of the Liberty Global Shareholder's Group (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Group Company) to discharge that Tax; and (B) any out-of-pocket costs or expenses reasonably and properly incurred by the Company or any Group Company solely and directly in connection with any payment of Tax as is referred to in clause 25.16(A) or in connection with any action reasonably and properly taken in avoiding, resisting or settling any such

(D) If and to the extent that it is determined that Eligible Losses purported to be surrendered pursuant to clause 25.26(A) are not permitted by law to be surrendered or group relief in relation thereto is not permitted by law to be claimed, then the amount of the payments referred to in clause 25.26(C)(iii) and clause 25.26(C)(iv) to the Company (or to the surrendering Group Company) shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount of those payments is the amount which would have been paid had it been known that such Eligible Losses were not permitted by law to be surrendered or group relief in relation thereto was not permitted by law to be claimed, and the Shareholders and the Company shall make (or, where the claimant company is a member of a Shareholder's Group and not a Shareholder, that Shareholder shall procure that such member of its Group makes) (or, where the surrendering company is a Group Company and not the Company, the Company shall procure that such Group Company makes) any appropriate payments required to achieve that position. 25.27 Consortium Relief: Surrenders to a Group Company (A) In respect of each accounting period of a Shareholder or any member of its Group, each Shareholder shall be entitled to surrender (or procure that a member of its Group surrenders) Eligible Losses and require (subject to clause 25.27(C)(i)) that the Company makes (or procures that a Group Company makes) a claim for group relief in relation thereto to the extent permitted by law.

The relevant Group Company shall keep the relevant Shareholder informed as to the content of all relevant correspondence and discussions with HMRC. (E) If and to the extent that it is determined that Eligible Losses purported to be surrendered pursuant to clause 25.27(A) are not permitted by law to be surrendered or group relief in relation thereto is not permitted by law to be claimed, then the aggregate amount of the payments referred to in clause 25.27(C)(iii) and clause 25.27(C)(iv) to the Shareholder (or the member of its Group) making the surrender shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount of those payments is the amount which would have been paid had it been known that such Eligible Losses were not permitted by law to be surrendered or group relief in relation thereto was not permitted by law to be claimed, and the Shareholders and the Company shall make (or, where the surrendering company is a member of a Shareholder's Group and not a Shareholder, that Shareholder shall procure that such member of its Group makes) (or, where the claimant company is a Group Company other than the Company, the Company shall procure that such Group Company makes) any appropriate payments required to achieve that position. 25.28 In clauses 25.26 to 25.28 (Consortium Relief): (A) where an accounting period of a company falls partly within one financial year and partly within another financial year, the corporation tax rate in force for that accounting period shall be taken to be the average of the corporation tax rates in force in such financial years applied on a time basis according to the respective lengths of the parts of the accounting period which fall in such financial years; and (B) references to the "corporation tax rate" are references to the rate of corporation tax on profits of companies (other than "ring fence profits" within the meaning of Part 8 of CTA 2010). 25.29 Corporate Interest Restriction (A) Each Shareholder agrees that they share the intention that the Group Companies will form a "worldwide group" of which the Company is the "ultimate parent" (such terms defined for the purposes of this clause as they are for the purposes of section 473 TIOPA). (B) If at any time after Completion the Group Companies are treated as being part of the "worldwide group" with any Shareholder, then each such Shareholder will

If either (a) the payment of the subscription price equal to the Liberty Global DS Subscription Amount referred to in clause 25.36(A) or (b) the payment of the amount equal to the Liberty Global DS Subscription Amount payable pursuant to clause 25.37(B) is subject to any deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax that is required by law, then the amount so payable shall be increased by such amount as will 143 ensure that the net sum received by the Company is equal to the full sum that it would have received in the absence of the requirement to make any deduction or withholding.

Banks will be chosen based on relevant criteria including current risk profile, remuneration received from the Company's Group in the preceding 24 month period, level of exposure to the Company, the information presented at the beauty parade and on the basis of their market status for the particular debt services and products sought (and in making the decision to choose the banks the Shareholder(s) shall act reasonably).
