Liberty Global plc (the “Company”), desires to provide the members of the Company’s Board of Directors (each, a “Director”), the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and certain senior executives of the Company and its subsidiaries as may be approved by the CEO (each, an “Executive”) the benefit of personal usage of aircraft owned in whole or in part by the Company or a subsidiary thereof (“Company Aircraft”) when the same is not being used for a business purpose, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Policy.  Each Director, the CEO and each Executive is sometimes hereinafter referred to as a “Personal User”.

This Policy is intended to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and shall be amended from time to time as necessary or appropriate to ensure continued compliance with all such rules and regulations as in effect at such time.  This Policy shall further be subject to amendment, modification or termination in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.

APPROVAL

Any use of the Company Aircraft by a Personal User other than the CEO for a personal trip or to bring a family member or guest on a business trip must be approved in advance by the CEO. 

Any use of the Company Aircraft by the CEO for personal trips in any calendar year that, when taken together with his use for personal trips of any aircraft to which the Company has rights of use under a time sharing or other agreement or arrangement, aggregate more than 20 flight hours in excess of his Compensatory Hours for that year must be approved by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.  For purposes of this Policy, “Compensatory Hours” means the number of flight hours of personal use in any calendar year that has been approved as part of the CEO’s compensation package by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.  

PERSONAL TRIPS

Subject to the following paragraph, a Personal User will pay to the Company for each usage of the Company Aircraft for a personal trip an amount equal to the aggregate incremental cost to the Company and its subsidiaries of such usage, determined in a manner consistent with the applicable rules and regulations (and interpretations thereof) of the Securities and Exchange Commission related to disclosure of executive compensation (the “SEC Calculation”).  The amount charged the Personal User in accordance with the SEC Calculation will be subject to federal excise tax of 7.5% and may not exceed any limits set forth in the FAA regulations.

The foregoing payment obligations will not apply to the CEO’s usage of the Company Aircraft for personal trips until after his Compensatory Hours for the relevant calendar year have been exhausted.  Further, the foregoing payment obligations do not apply to non-employee Directors.

TAX RAMIFICATIONS

For income tax purposes, the value of a flight on the Company Aircraft taken by a Personal User not traveling on business, non-business related guests, or family members is generally taxable as a fringe benefit to the Personal User.  For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the IRS requires such value to be determined by the Standard Industry Fare Level (“SIFL”) method of calculation (the “SIFL Calculation”).  For a Personal User not subject to U.S. federal income tax (either generally or with respect to the specific

flight), such value will be determined in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in the relevant tax jurisdiction (the “Non-US Tax Calculation”).  For business trips with non-business passengers, the Personal User will be imputed income for those non-business passengers attributable to him.  The amount imputed as income will be calculated pursuant to the SIFL Calculation or the Non-US Tax Calculation, as applicable.

To the extent a Personal User has paid the Company for aircraft usage under the SEC Calculation, that amount will be offset against the applicable of the SIFL Calculation or the Non-US Tax Calculation.  If the amount paid is less than the applicable of the SIFL Calculation or the Non-US Tax Calculation, only the difference will be imputed as income to the Personal User.

TIME SHARING AGREEMENTS 

To use the Company Aircraft as provided above, the Personal User must lease it.  Such lease will be through an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement executed by the Personal User in the form approved by the Company, prior to any personal usage of the Company Aircraft.

SCHEDULE DECISIONS

Notwithstanding the foregoing policy or the terms of the Aircraft Timing Sharing Agreements, the Company and its flight crew retain the authority to determine when a flight may be cancelled or changed for safety or maintenance reasons.  Also, the Company retains authority to determine what flights may be scheduled based on the business needs of the Company.  Although the Company will use its best efforts to accommodate personal use requests, business needs will take priority in any scheduling conflicts.

deductibility of such expenses for tax purposes. 

 5. Obligations of the Executive During and After Employment. 

(a) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that solely by virtue of his employment by, and relationship with, the Company, he
will acquire “Confidential Information” (as defined below) as well as special knowledge of the Company’s business and its relationships with its clients and employees, and that, but for his association with the Company, the Executive
will not have had access to said Confidential Information or knowledge of said relationships. Both during his employment and thereafter he will not, for any reason whatsoever, use for himself or disclose to any person not employed by the Company any
Confidential Information acquired by the Executive during his relationship with the Company, except to the extent that such Confidential Information (i) becomes a matter of public record or is published in a newspaper, magazine or other
periodical, or in other media, available to the general public, other than as a result of any act or omission of the Executive, (ii) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation or order of any court or regulatory commission, department or
agency, provided that the Executive gives prompt notice of such requirement to the Company to enable the Company to seek an appropriate protective order, or (iii) is required to be disclosed in order to perform properly the
Executive’s duties under this Agreement. The Executive further agrees to use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing duties with the Company and further agrees not to use Confidential Information for his own private use or
commercial purposes. The Executive agrees that “Confidential Information” includes but is not limited to: (1) any financial, engineering, business, planning, operations, services, potential services, products, potential
products, technical information and/or know-how, organization charts, formulas, business plans, production, purchasing, marketing, pricing, sales, profit, personnel, customer, broker, supplier, or other lists or information of the Company;
(2) any papers, data, records, processes, methods, techniques, systems, models, samples, devices, equipment, compilations, invoices, client lists, or documents of the Company; (3) any confidential information or trade secrets of any third
party provided to the Company in confidence or subject to other use or disclosure restrictions or limitations; and (4) any other information, written, oral, or electronic, whether existing now or at some time in the future, and whether
pertaining to current or future developments, which pertains to the Company’s affairs or interests or with whom or how the Company does business. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information does not include information
properly in the public domain, or the generalized knowledge, skills and know-how possessed by the Executive, whether as a result of his employment or otherwise. 

(b) During the Employment Term, the Executive will not remove from the Company’s premises any documents, records, files,
notebooks, correspondence, reports, video or audio recordings, computer printouts, computer programs, computer software, price lists, microfilm, drawings, or other similar documents containing Confidential Information, including copies thereof,
whether prepared by him or others, except as his duties under this Agreement shall require, and in such cases, will promptly return such items to the Company. Upon termination of his employment with the Company, all such items including summaries or
copies thereof, then in the Executive’s possession, shall be returned to the Company immediately. 

  
 3 

 (c) All ideas, inventions, designs, processes, discoveries, enhancements, plans,
writings, and other developments or improvements (the “Inventions”) conceived by the Executive, alone or with others, during the Employment Term, whether or not during working hours, that are within the scope of the Executive’s
business operations or that relate to any of the Company’s work or projects (including any and all inventions based wholly or in part upon ideas conceived during the Executive’s employment with the Company), are the sole and exclusive
property of the Company. The Executive further agrees that: (i) he will promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company and hereby assigns to the Company all present and future rights he has or may have in those Inventions, including without
limitation those relating to patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets; and (ii) all of the Inventions eligible under the copyright laws are “work made for hire.” At the request of and without charge to the Company and without
cost to the Executive, the Executive will do all things deemed by the Company to be reasonably necessary to perfect title to the Inventions in the Company and to assist in obtaining for the Company such patents, copyrights or other protection as may
be provided under law and desired by the Company, including but not limited to executing and signing any and all relevant applications, assignments or other instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Employee Patent Act, Illinois
Public Act 83-493, the Company hereby notifies the Executive that the provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which
were developed entirely on the Executive’s own time, unless (1) the Invention relates (i) to the business of the Company, or (ii) to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, or (2) the
Invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the Company. 
 (d) All client lists, supplier lists, and
client and supplier information are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company, regardless of whether such information was developed, purchased, acquired, or otherwise obtained by the Company or the Executive. The Executive also agrees
to furnish to the Company on demand at any time during his employment, and upon the termination of his employment, any records, notes, computer printouts, computer programs, computer software, price lists, microfilm, or any other documents related
to the Company’s business, including originals and copies thereof. 
 (e) The Executive may become aware of
“material” nonpublic information relating to clients whose stock is publicly traded. The Executive acknowledges that he is prohibited by law as well as by Company policy from trading in the shares of such clients while in possession of
such information or directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other persons so that they may trade in these shares. For purposes of this subparagraph (e), “material” information may include any information, positive or
negative, which might be of significance to an investor in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold the stock of publicly traded clients. Information may be significant for this purpose even if it would not alone determine the investor’s
decision. Examples include a potential business acquisition, internal financial information that departs in any way from what the market would expect, the acquisition or loss of a major contract, or an important financing transaction. 

  
 4 

 (f) The Executive agrees that in the event of a material breach or threatened
material breach of any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph 5, the Company will have the right and remedy to have such covenants specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any material
breach of any of the covenants will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. 

6. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination of Employment. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for
any reason, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (or in the event of the Executive’s death, his estate): (a) his Base Salary through the end of the Employment Term
and (b) any other compensation and benefits due to the Executive in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any unpaid cash incentive bonus pursuant to Paragraph 4(c) hereof) or any other plan or agreement, in each case
to the extent theretofore unpaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s participation (if any) in and rights (if any) under any Company employee benefit plans and programs upon and after the end of the Employment Term will be governed
by the terms and conditions of those plans and programs (as in effect or amended from time to time). 
 7. Federal and State Withholding
Taxes. The Company shall deduct from the amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement the amount of all required federal and state withholding taxes. 

8. Governing Law; Arbitration; Jurisdiction; Attorneys’ Fees. This Agreement is made and entered into and will be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of and before the courts of the State of Illinois. The Company and the Executive agree that any dispute regarding this Agreement that cannot be resolved amicably by the parties, will be submitted to
arbitration within sixty (60) days of the date the dispute arose and will be resolved in accordance with Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitrator will be mutually selected by the
parties or in the event the parties cannot mutually agree, then appointed by the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration will be held in Chicago, Illinois and the arbitrator will apply Illinois law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the
arbitrator will be final and binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company will have the absolute right to seek equitable remedies in any state court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Illinois, County of
Cook, or in a United States District Court in the State of Illinois pursuant to Paragraph 5(f) hereof. The parties shall be responsible for their own costs and expenses under this Paragraph 8; provided, however, that all costs, fees
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with such arbitration and court action to enforce judgment upon any award made by an arbitrator) shall be borne by the Company if the Executive prevails. 

9. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements, written or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof between

 (c)
Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law and in addition to any other rights permitted or granted under the Company’s certificate of formation and operating agreement, each as amended to date, or any agreement or policy of
insurance, or by law, the Company shall indemnify the Executive if the Executive is made a party, or threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was an employee, officer or director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, in which capacity the Executive is or was serving at the Company’s request, against any and all
costs, losses, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may be suffered or incurred by him in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that there
shall be no indemnification in relation to matters as to which the Executive is adjudged to have been guilty of fraud or bad faith or as a result of the Executive’s material breach. 

(d) Successors. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company it
shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable against the Executive’s legal representatives. This Agreement will inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Company” means the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 

(e) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, either in its entirety or by

situation may require, and this Agreement will be 

  
 6 

 
construed and enforced as if such provision had been included herein as so modified in scope or application, or had not been included herein, as the case may be. Should this Agreement, or any one
or more of the provisions hereof, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable within any governmental jurisdiction or subdivision thereof, the Agreement or any such provision or provisions will not as a consequence thereof be deemed to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other governmental jurisdiction or subdivision thereof. 
 (f) Waiver. The
Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, will not be deemed to be a waiver of such
provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. 
 (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in two counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and both of which taken together will constitute a single instrument. 

(h) The payments to Executive pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to the maximum extent possible as short-term deferrals pursuant to Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4). Payments with respect to reimbursements of all expenses pursuant to this Agreement
shall be made promptly, but in any event on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the relevant expense is incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit provided, during a

other benefit.
