Explanation of Responses:
1. Each Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") represents a right to receive one share of Issuer's Class C common shares.
2. The reporting person was granted Performance Share Units (PSUs) on March 27, 2024, which are earned upon satisfaction of performance conditions based on achievement of stock price hurdles over a three-year period from May 10, 2024, to December 31, 2026. The PSUs vest on February 15, 2027, assuming the performance conditions are met. Under their terms, the performance conditions are tested at year end 2025 and at year end 2026. As a result of the Issuer's performance against a relative total shareholder return as of year end 2025, 50% of these PSUs were earned against that performance condition and therefore converted into time-vesting RSUs. These RSUs will vest on February 15, 2027, assuming continued employment. The remaining PSUs will be tested at year end 2026 and if the performance conditions are met, will also vest on February 15, 2027.
3. The RSUs will vest in full on February 15, 2027.
Remarks:
The trading symbols for the Issuer's classes of common shares are LBTYA, LBTYB, and LBTYK.
