2. THE OFFER

Offer

2.1 BidCo undertakes to Ziggo to prepare and make or designate a wholly-owned subsidiary to make (uitbrengen), declare unconditional (gestand doen) and settle the Offer on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Merger Protocol.

2.2 The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Offer will be completed as soon as possible following the date of this Merger Protocol, subject to the terms and conditions of this Merger Protocol.

2.3 The Parties shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, the applicable provisions of the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht; the Wft), the Decree on Public Takeovers (Besluit Openbare Biedingen; the Decree), the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Wft and the Decree, the policy guidelines and instructions of the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten; the AFM), the WOR, the SER Fusiegedragsregels 2000, the rules and regulations of Euronext Amsterdam, NASDAQ and any other applicable stock exchange, the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) (the DCC), the relevant securities and employee consultation rules and regulations in other applicable jurisdictions including, without limitation, the applicable US securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, and the relevant Antitrust Laws applicable to the Offer (collectively, the Applicable Rules).

2.4 The Parties will co-operate in ensuring that all filings and notices required by the Applicable Rules, or as otherwise required by the AFM, Euronext Amsterdam, NASDAQ or SEC are timely and properly made.

Offer Price

2.5 Provided that this Merger Protocol is not terminated pursuant to Clause 22 and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Commencement Conditions and the Offer Conditions, the Offer shall commit BidCo to acquire each Share validly tendered under the Offer and not withdrawn for a consideration per Share consisting of:

(a) 0.2282 of a Liberty Global A Share (the Class A Exchange Ratio) and 0.1674 of a Liberty Global C Share (the Class C Exchange Ratio, and together the Share Consideration); and

6

(b) an amount of €11.- in cash (the Cash Consideration and, together with the Share Consideration, the Offer Price).

2.6 Ziggo will not declare or pay any (interim) dividend or make or agree to make any distribution in kind, whether from capital, profits or reserves in the period between the date of this Merger Protocol and the earlier of the Settlement Date and the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date of this Merger Protocol (the Long Stop Date). In the event Ziggo does not comply with its obligation in the previous sentence, BidCo may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, reduce the Cash Consideration accordingly.

2.7 The Offer Price will be adjusted for any dividends or other distributions by Liberty Global during the period until Settlement, as detailed in Schedule 3 and Schedule 12.

2.8 In connection with the Offer, BidCo will only deliver whole Liberty Global shares. To the extent holders of the Shares would otherwise be entitled to a fractional Liberty Global share as a result of the application of the exchange ratio of the Share Consideration, each such holder shall receive instead of a fractional Liberty Global share an amount in cash (in euro, rounded down to the nearest eurocent) equal to the product of the fraction of the Liberty Global share it would be entitled to receive and the price (net of related fees and expenses) at which such shareholder's tendering admitted institution on Euronext Amsterdam or Euroclear Netherlands sells the entitlements to the Liberty Global Shares on the third Business Day preceding the Settlement Date. BidCo may include in the Offer Memorandum another settlement mechanism that is appropriate for shares in companies listed on NASDAQ or as may be proposed by the Settlement Agent.

Initial Announcement

2.9 The execution of this Merger Protocol will be announced immediately following its execution and in any event prior to the opening of the first trading day on Euronext Amsterdam following the execution of this Merger Protocol by way of a press release issued jointly by the Liberty Global Group and Ziggo (the Initial Announcement). The AFM and Euronext Amsterdam will be provided with a copy of the Initial Announcement immediately upon its release, and NASDAQ will be provided with a copy of the Initial Announcement at least 30 minutes prior to its release. The relevant (international) press-agents, the Socio-Economic Council (Sociaal-Economische Raad), the relevant Dutch trade unions, and the Works Council will also receive a copy. A copy of the Initial Announcement is attached hereto as Schedule 2.

2.10 BidCo will make the certain funds announcement in relation to the Offer as required by article 7 paragraph 4 of the Decree in the Initial Announcement.

Offer Memorandum and Position Statement

2.11 BidCo shall prepare the offer memorandum (biedingsbericht) (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the Offer Memorandum) and file the Offer Memorandum with the AFM for approval as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within the applicable timetable pursuant to the Decree.

2.12 The Offer Memorandum (and all transactions contemplated thereby) shall comply as to form and substance in all respects with the Applicable Rules. BidCo will draft the Offer Memorandum and give Ziggo sufficient opportunity to review, comment upon and, for any sections solely relating to and being under the sole responsibility of Ziggo, approve the Offer Memorandum (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Ziggo, acting reasonably, undertakes to timely provide all such

7

information and data relating to Ziggo and the Ziggo Group as may reasonably be requested by BidCo to be included in the Offer Memorandum or as may be otherwise required by the Applicable Rules.

2.13 The Offer Memorandum shall contain one or more provisions to the effect that those shareholders of Ziggo tendering Shares under the Offer automatically cease to have and - by tendering their Shares under the Offer - waive any and all rights or entitlements they may have in their capacity as shareholders of Ziggo or otherwise in connection with their shareholding in Ziggo vis-à-vis any member of the Ziggo Group and all the supervisory and management board members of the companies mentioned in this paragraph.

2.14 As soon as reasonably possible after the date hereof (and in any event no later than the Commencement Date), BidCo will file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC for the purpose of registering the securities issued as part of the Share Consideration with the SEC (this registration statement, including without limitation any pre- or post-effective amendment thereto or any prospectus or prospectus supplement in respect thereof, the Registration Statement). BidCo and Liberty Global will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act and that the Liberty Global A Shares and Liberty Global C Shares to be issued as part of the Share Consideration will have been approved for listing on NASDAQ in each case prior to the Closing Date. If, for any reason (other than a breach by Ziggo of its obligations hereunder), the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act and/or the Liberty Global A Shares and Liberty Global C Shares to be issued as part of the Share Consideration have not been approved for listing on NASDAQ prior to the Closing Date, this will constitute a material breach by BidCo for purposes of this Merger Protocol entitling Ziggo to terminate this Merger Protocol and receive the termination fee under Clause 23.3(a).

2.15 Ziggo will prepare the position statement pursuant to article 18 of the Decree (the Position Statement), which shall be consistent with this Merger Protocol, shall comply as to form and substance in all respects with the Applicable Rules and may include such additional information as Ziggo reasonably determines should be included therein. Ziggo will give BidCo sufficient opportunity to review and comment on and, for any sections solely relating to BidCo or Liberty Global, approve the Position Statement.

2.16 If Works Council Clearance is obtained prior to the Commencement Date, Ziggo will issue the Position Statement concurrently with the publication of the Offer Memorandum to holders of Shares. In the event that Works Council Clearance is not obtained prior to the Commencement Date, Ziggo will postpone the issuance of the Position Statement until such later time that (i) Works Council Clearance is obtained; or (ii) the Works Council renders a negative advice (which is deemed to include an advice with conditions not reasonably acceptable to Ziggo, and the case where the Works Council does not render advice within a reasonable period of time) and either (a) the Works Council has unconditionally and irrevocably waived its right to initiate the legal proceedings set out in section 26 of the WOR in writing; or (b) the applicable waiting period pursuant to section 25 paragraph 6 of the WOR has expired without the Works Council having initiated legal proceedings as set out in the WOR; or (c) following the initiation of legal proceedings as set out in section 26 of the WOR, Ziggo is reasonably comfortable that the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal (Ondernemingskamer) will dismiss the Works Council's claims.

2.17 Ziggo will in any event issue the Position Statement four (4) Business Days prior to the EGM in accordance with article 18 paragraph 2 of the Decree. If Ziggo does not issue the Position Statement concurrently with the publication of the Offer Memorandum as per Clause 2.16, then it will issue a press release reconfirming its intent to issue the Recommendation upon and subject only to completion of the process set out in the first sentence of this Clause.

8

2.18 Both the Offer Memorandum and the Position Statement shall set forth the Recommendation referred to in Clause 3.1(b). The Fairness Opinions referred to in Clause 3.5 will be included in the Position Statement.

2.19 The arrangements and agreements set out in this Merger Protocol shall be included in comprehensive summary form in the Initial Announcement and in the Offer Memorandum, with the exception of the Non-Financial Covenants (as defined in Clause 13.1) which shall be included in full in the Offer Memorandum.

2.20 Each Party will provide all information as may reasonably be required by the other Parties to ensure that the Offer Memorandum, the Position Statement and the Registration Statement (i) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) are in compliance with all Applicable Rules in all material respects. Each Party shall be responsible for the information provided by it.

Offer Period

2.21 BidCo shall make the Offer (bod uitbrengen) no later than on the Ultimate Launch Date, subject to all Commencement Conditions being satisfied or waived by BidCo and/or Ziggo, as the case may be, by making the Offer Memorandum generally available in the Netherlands and in those other jurisdictions in which the Parties agree or are obliged to make the Offer pursuant to the Applicable Rules (the date on which the Offer is made, the Commencement Date). BidCo and Ziggo shall jointly announce the availability of the Offer Memorandum and shall disseminate the Offer Memorandum in the jurisdictions where the Offer is made in accordance with the Applicable Rules.

2.22 BidCo may, in its sole discretion, determine the duration of the acceptance period (aanmeldingstermijn) of the Offer (the Offer Period), provided that the initial Offer Period shall be no less than eight (8) weeks and no longer than ten (10) weeks (the last day of the Offer Period hereinafter the Closing Date).

2.23 Immediately prior to the Commencement Date, Ziggo must provide a written confirmation to BidCo that, to the best knowledge of the members of the Management Board, after having made reasonable enquiries, the Commencement Conditions set forth in Clause 4.1(b) (no breach by Ziggo) and Clause 4.1(i) (no breach of public offer regulations) have been satisfied (or not, in which case reasonable details as to the non-satisfaction shall be included in the written confirmation) as of that time. Immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, Ziggo must provide the same confirmation with regard to the Offer Conditions set forth in Clause 4.5(d) (no breach by Ziggo) and Clause 4.5(k) (no breach of public offer regulations).

2.24 Immediately prior to the Commencement Date, BidCo must provide a written confirmation to Ziggo that, to the best knowledge of the members of its board, after having made reasonable enquiries, the Commencement Conditions set forth in Clause 4.1(c) (no breach by Liberty Global or BidCo) and Clause 4.1(i) (no breach of public offer regulations) have been satisfied (or not, in which case reasonable details as to the non-satisfaction shall be included in the written confirmation) as of that time. Immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, BidCo must provide the same confirmation with regard to the Offer Conditions set forth in Clause 4.5(e) (no breach by Liberty Global or BidCo) and Clause 4.5(k) (no breach of public offer regulations).

2.25 If any Offer Condition is not satisfied or waived on the initial Closing Date, BidCo may, subject to prior consultation with Ziggo, extend the Offer Period once, provided that:

(a) such extension of the Offer Period shall be no less than two (2) weeks and no more than ten (10) weeks after the initial Closing Date; and

9

(b) if the Offer Condition relating to Competition Clearance set out in Clause 4.5(b) is not satisfied or waived on the Closing Date, BidCo must extend the Offer Period for one or more periods of time (subject to, in respect of an extension by more than one period, receipt of an exemption granted by the AFM, to be requested by BidCo) until such time as the Parties reasonably believe is necessary to cause such Offer Condition to be satisfied.

Ziggo shall support and cooperate with BidCo's request to the AFM for an exemption to extend the Offer Period more than once.

If, at any point in time prior to the Long Stop Date (i) the AFM does not grant an exemption to extend the Offer Period as a consequence of which the Offer Period has lapsed without the Offer having been declared unconditional (gestand gedaan) and (ii) the Offer Condition relating to Competition Clearance set out in Clause 4.5(b) is not yet satisfied or waived, but no decision has yet been made or deemed to have been made by the Antitrust Authorities in respect of Phase II Competition Clearance, BidCo will promptly request the AFM to be granted an exemption enabling it to immediately launch a new public offer on the same terms and conditions as the Offer (and such new offer will then be deemed to be the "Offer" for purposes of this Merger Protocol) with an offer period not expiring beyond the Long Stop Date.

In case of one or more extensions of the Offer Period, all references to the Closing Date shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to the latest date and time to which the Offer Period has been so extended.

2.26 If the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Merger Protocol, BidCo must publicly declare the Offer unconditional no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day after the Closing Date (the Unconditional Date). Transfer of the Shares tendered under the Offer against payment of the Offer Price (the Settlement) is expected to occur at the latest on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Unconditional Date (the Settlement Date).

2.27 In the event that BidCo declares the Offer unconditional (gestand doet), it will also publicly announce a post-acceptance period (na-aanmeldingstermijn) of no less than three (3) Business Days and no more than two (2) weeks (the Post Acceptance Period) and accept, against payment of the Offer Price, each Share that is validly tendered and not withdrawn within such period.

2.28 In the event a third party makes or announces a competing offer prior to the expiry of the Offer Period, BidCo may extend the Offer Period at its own discretion in accordance with article 15 paragraph 5 of the Decree.

3. RECOMMENDATION AND SUPPORT

3.1 On the basis that the Offer, the Merger and the related actions as contemplated in this Merger Protocol are in the best interest of Ziggo and its stakeholders (including its shareholders), Ziggo confirms that:

(a) the Boards have unanimously approved and consented to the entering into by Ziggo of this Merger Protocol, the Asset Sale and Liquidation and execution and performance of Ziggo's obligation thereunder and confirm that no other internal approval is necessary, except for (i) the adoption of the Asset Sale and Liquidation Resolutions and (ii) a resolution of the Boards with respect to the Asset Sale and Liquidation in the event that BidCo and its Affiliates, alone or together with Ziggo, shall hold less than 80% of the Shares immediately after settlement of all the Shares tendered in the Post Acceptance Period;

(b) the Boards have duly considered the Offer and shall, subject to Clause 3.3, unanimously support and unanimously recommend the Offer for acceptance to holders of Shares in the Initial

10

Announcement, any further press releases in connection with the Offer, the Offer Memorandum and the Position Statement, and shall unanimously recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolutions at the EGM (the Recommendation);

(c) subject to Clause 3.3, neither the Boards nor any of their members shall revoke or modify, amend or qualify their respective recommendation nor make any public contradictory statements as to their position with respect to the Offer nor for the avoidance of doubt fail to announce or reaffirm their Recommendation

(d) the Boards have resolved that Ziggo will take all necessary actions within its power to effect the Merger.

3.2 Except if the Boards publicly reaffirm their Recommendation upon BidCo's request, any action by any member of the Boards in deviation from or inconsistent with the Recommendation which could cause uncertainty as to the status of the Recommendation will constitute a material breach by Ziggo for purposes of this Merger Protocol entitling BidCo to terminate this Merger Protocol and, subject to Clause 23.2, receive the termination fee under Clause 23.1, subject to Clause 3.2.

3.3 The Boards, acting jointly, may revoke, modify, amend or qualify the Recommendation if there shall have been any material event, development, circumstance or change in circumstances or facts (including any material change in probability or magnitude of circumstances) which first occurred (or of which the Boards became first aware) after the date hereof, which was not foreseen by the Boards, and they determine, acting in good faith and having consulted their financial and legal advisers, that failure to do so would be a breach of their fiduciary duties under Dutch law, it being understood that, in making their determination to revoke, modify, amend or qualify the Recommendation, the Boards will ignore:

(a) any Alternative Proposal, except if they determine it to be a Competing Offer pursuant to and in accordance with Clause 21, and Clause 21.5(d) applies; and

(b) any depreciation in value of the Liberty Global A Shares and the Liberty Global C Shares, except to the extent that any such depreciation in value constitutes a Liberty Global Stock Event pursuant to and in accordance with Schedule 11, and Clause 23.2 applies.

3.4 If the Boards withdraw their Recommendation pursuant to Clause 3.3 and BidCo continues with the Offer, Ziggo, the Boards and each of their members individually shall, subject to the terms of the Asset Sale agreement referred to in Clause 7.3, continue to cooperate with the Merger if BidCo and its Affiliates, alone or together with Ziggo, immediately after settlement of all the Shares tendered in the Post Acceptance Period hold at least 80% of Ziggo's aggregate issued and outstanding ordinary share capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (excluding any Shares then held by Ziggo) on a fully diluted basis.

3.5 The Boards have obtained, inter alia, the opinions, addressed to the Management Board by X.X. Xxxxxx Limited and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Partners UK LLP and to the Supervisory Board by ABN AMRO Bank N.V., in each case, to the effect that, as of the date of this Merger Protocol, the Offer Price is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Shares (other than BidCo, its Affiliates and Ziggo) and the purchase price for the entire Ziggo business under the Asset Sale is fair from a financial point of view to Ziggo (such opinions hereinafter: the Fairness Opinions).

Announcement of non-satisfaction or waiver

4.10 In accordance with the Applicable Rules, either Party must make a public announcement if it ascertains that an Offer Condition is not, or is incapable of being satisfied and it has decided not to use its right to waive the relevant Offer Condition.

Binding advice in relation to Material Adverse Effect

4.11 If BidCo considers that the Commencement Condition set out in Clause 4.1(e) or the Offer Condition set out in Clause 4.5(f), as the case may be, has not been satisfied, BidCo may give written notice to Ziggo, together with its explanations and, where practicable, supported by documentation.

4.12 If, following such notice, Ziggo disagrees with BidCo's position, Ziggo shall respond within three (3) Business Days in writing stating, in detail and supported by documents where possible, that it disagrees with such Commencement Condition or such Offer Condition, as the case may be, not having been satisfied (a Notice of Disagreement).

4.13 If Ziggo has sent a Notice of Disagreement to BidCo in accordance with Clause 4.12, BidCo shall reply within three (3) Business Days in writing thereto responding to the arguments raised by Ziggo in its Notice of Disagreement (a Counter-Notice of Disagreement).

4.14 Either Party shall be entitled upon lapse of three (3) Business Days from the Counter-Notice of Disagreement to submit the dispute in writing, with a copy to the other Parties, to a binding advisor (Binding Advisor) who shall settle the matter by way of binding advice (bindend advies) (Binding Advice) under articles 7:900 et seq. of the DCC and in accordance with the terms as set out in Schedule 4.

4.15 The Binding Advisor shall be the President of the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Court of Appeals of Amsterdam.

5. FINANCING

5.1 Following the Initial Announcement, Ziggo shall implement the refinancing plan set out in Schedule 5.

5.2 At the Settlement Date, following completion of the refinancing steps set out in Schedule 5, BidCo anticipates that Ziggo will have a total debt divided by last two quarters annualized end of December 2013 EBITDA ratio (on a synergy adjusted basis, including a maximum of 50% of the attributable Opex synergies) of approximately 5.0x. The Offer Definitive Financing Agreements entered into pursuant to Schedule 5 contain a covenant restriction requiring Ziggo to maintain a 5.5x ratio for total net debt divided by last two quarters annualized EBITDA (on a synergy adjusted basis, including a maximum of 50% of the attributable Opex synergies) for every quarter.

5.3 BidCo agrees, subject to Clause 5.4 below, that during the Restricted Period, it will not make distributions of profit or capital to shareholders and not to initiate or pursue a financial restructuring if, and to the extent, such distributions or such restructuring result in a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Joint Dutch Operations exceeding 5.5x when tested on the notional total net debt of the Joint Dutch Operations on a pro forma basis across both businesses.

5.4 If at any time during the Restricted Period, BidCo has breached Clause 5.3 (a Covenant Event), then BidCo undertakes to remedy such breach within 12 months.

5.5 BidCo undertakes to set up a financial framework, including sufficient levels of cash, that supports the realization of the Dutch Business Strategy. The Joint Dutch Operations will continue to be a state of the art media and communications service provider (in terms of core values, quality, infrastructure, technology, commercial services amongst other things). BidCo will respect the Ziggo Group's commitment to invest in its networks and services in the Netherlands at a level which, in terms of quality and service levels, is consistent with Ziggo's current operational business plans.

5.6 In line with statements made in Liberty Global's public filings, it is Liberty Global's current policy to seek to maintain a consolidated group debt balance that is between four and five times its consolidated group operating cash flow, although no commitment can be given that this policy will not be changed in the future.

5.7 For purposes of this Clause 5,

5.8 Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall have the meaning given to it in the Offer Definitive Financing Agreements (in summary, this term refers to a ratio for total net debt divided by the last two quarters' annualised EBITDA, on a synergy-adjusted basis, for every quarter and excludes inter-company debt);

(a) Restricted Period means the date commencing on the Settlement Date and ending on the Covenant Long Stop Date;

(b) Covenant Long Stop Date means the date falling two years after the Settlement Date, or, in case of a Covenant Event during the second year of such two year period, the earlier of (i) the date falling 12 months after the relevant Covenant Event and (ii) the date on which the relevant Covenant Event has been remedied.

6. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Composition of the Supervisory Board

16

6.1 BidCo and Ziggo, including the Supervisory Board and all respective members thereof individually, will use their respective reasonable best efforts, including through their vote in favour of any (proposal for the) agreed amendment of the articles of association of Ziggo or any other constitutional document, vote in favour of any agreed (proposal for the) nomination or appointment of any person to the Supervisory Board, their (vote in favour of any) resignation from the Supervisory Board, to ensure that the Supervisory Board will as soon as possible following the Settlement Date be composed as follows:

(a) three (3) new members of the Supervisory Board will be identified by BidCo, at its sole discretion, prior to the Commencement Date; and

(b) two (2) current members of the Supervisory Board, qualifying as independent within the meaning of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, being Rob Ruijter and another current member to be identified by Ziggo prior to the Commencement Date, who will also be the Works Council nominee required under the mitigated large company regime, will continue to serve on the Supervisory Board (the Continuing Members).

The composition of the Supervisory Board will be disclosed in the Offer Memorandum.

6.2 It is acknowledged and agreed that, to the extent applicable in deviation of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, after the Settlement Date, persons that are employed by, or otherwise related to, the Liberty Global Group can be appointed as members of the Supervisory Board, provided that the Continuing Members (or after their replacement any other person who (i) qualifies as independent director within the meaning of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and (ii) is reasonably acceptable to the other supervisory directors including the Continuing Member) shall continue to serve on the Supervisory Board for at least the duration of the Non Financial Covenants.

6.3 At least two members of the Supervisory Board shall have the Dutch nationality. It is furthermore agreed that, for the duration of the Non-Financial Covenants, one (1) Continuing Member shall be a member of the Supervisory Board's audit committee and one (1) Continuing Member shall be a member of the Supervisory Board's remuneration/ nomination committee.

6.4 In their position as members of the Supervisory Board, the Continuing Members shall monitor and protect the interests of the Joint Dutch Operations and all of their stakeholders, including, in particular, monitoring compliance with the Non-Financial Covenants (as defined in Clause 13.1) and, when transactions between Ziggo and a Liberty Global Affiliate are considered, including the fair treatment of minority shareholders of Ziggo (if any).

6.5 As from the Settlement Date, the Supervisory Board members who are not Continuing Members will resign from their positions as members of the Supervisory Board and each such member will confirm that he has no claim whatsoever against Ziggo in respect of loss of office or otherwise, except with respect to compensation duly accrued under any remuneration arrangement to the extent disclosed in the Liberty Global Pre-Announcement Due Diligence, in respect of services rendered to Ziggo during the relevant financial year and as to be otherwise agreed separately between Ziggo and Liberty Global. Liberty Global shall allow Ziggo to pay such compensation to the respective members of the Supervisory Board. BidCo shall procure that on the date of his or her resignation becoming effective each resigning member of the Supervisory Board (i) is fully released from any duties in respect of his or her position as member of the Supervisory Board and (ii) will be granted full and final discharge and release from any and all liabilities in respect of his or her position as (former) member of the Supervisory Board, provided that by the time of such resignation, no fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct or criminal behaviour of such member has become apparent.

17

6.6 The provisions of Clauses 6.1-6.5 shall equally apply to the supervisory board of the Joint Dutch Operations.

Composition of the Management Board

6.7 BidCo and Ziggo, including the Boards and all respective members thereof individually, will use their respective best efforts, including through their vote in favour of any (proposal for the) agreed amendment of the articles of association of Ziggo or any other constitutional document, their (vote in favour of any) agreed nomination or appointment of any person to the Management Board, their (vote in favour of any) resignation from the Management Board, to ensure that the Management Board will as soon as possible following the Settlement Date consist of at least four (4) members and will be composed as follows:

(a) the CEO and the CFO of the Management Board will be identified by BidCo prior to the Settlement, at its sole discretion; and

(b) the other initial composition of the Management Board will be determined in accordance with the integration process set out in Clauses 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3.

6.8 Once all of the members of the Management Board will have been selected, the Parties will (i) make a joint announcement with respect to the future composition of the Management Board and (ii) initiate the applicable formal corporate procedures for the appointment of the relevant individuals, subject to the Offer being declared unconditional and effective as per the Settlement Date. Taking into account the selection and assessment process as referred to in Clauses 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3, such announcement will not be made before the Commencement Date.

6.9 Any current member of the Management Board who will not be member of the Management Board as determined in accordance with Clause 6.7, will resign from his or her position as member of the Management Board as per the Settlement Date (or such later date as will be agreed with BidCo) and each such member will confirm that he or she has no claim whatsoever against Ziggo in respect of loss of office or otherwise, other than his or her contractual redundancy or termination entitlement in the amount as agreed prior to the date of this Merger Protocol but only to the extent disclosed in the Liberty Global Pre-Announcement Due Diligence. BidCo shall allow Ziggo to pay such compensation to the respective members of the Management Board. BidCo will procure that any resigning member of the Management Board is fully released from any duties in respect of his or her position as member of the Management Board as per the date of resignation and that such member will be granted full and final discharge and release from any and all liabilities in respect of his or her position as (former) member of the Management Board, provided that by the time of such resignation, no fraud, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or criminal behaviour of such member has become apparent.

7. POST-CLOSING RESTRUCTURING

Delisting

7.1 As soon as possible after completion of the Offer, the Parties will seek to:

(a) procure the delisting of the Shares from Euronext Amsterdam and the termination of the listing agreement between Ziggo and Euronext Amsterdam in relation to the listing of the Shares; and

(b) have BidCo, or any of its Affiliates, acquire all Shares not yet owned by it and cause Ziggo to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary within the Liberty Global Group.

18

As long as it remains listed on Euronext Amsterdam, Ziggo shall continue to comply with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (except for (i) current and future deviations from the aforementioned code in accordance with the "explain" requirement in respect of such deviations, (ii) deviations from the aforementioned code that find their basis in this Merger Protocol, it being understood that deviation from the best practices in respect of conflict of interest as set out in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code shall not be permitted).

Statutory squeeze-out proceedings

7.2 If, following the Settlement Date and the Post Acceptance Period, BidCo and its Affiliates, alone or together with Ziggo, hold at least 95% of the Shares, BidCo will commence a compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure) in accordance with article 2:92a or 2:201a of the DCC or the takeover buy-out procedure in accordance with article 2:359c of the DCC to buy out the holders of Shares that have not tendered their Shares under the Offer. Ziggo shall provide BidCo with any assistance as may be required, including, if needed, joining such proceedings as co-claimant.

Asset Sale and Liquidation

7.3 Ziggo acknowledges that BidCo's willingness to pay the Offer Price and pursue the Merger is predicated on the acquisition of 100% of the Shares. The Parties anticipate that full integration of Ziggo and the Dutch Liberty Global Business will deliver substantial operational, commercial, organizational, financial and tax benefits as further described in Schedule 6. Such benefits could not, or only partially, be achieved if Ziggo were to continue as a standalone entity with a minority shareholder base. Therefore, and subject only to (i) the number of Shares having been tendered for acceptance during the Offer Period and the Post Acceptance Period, together with (x) any Shares directly or indirectly held by BidCo or any of its Affiliates, (y) any Shares committed to BidCo or any of its Affiliates, in writing and (z) any Shares to which BidCo is entitled representing less than 95% but at least 80% of Ziggo's aggregate issued and outstanding ordinary share capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (excluding any Shares then held by Ziggo) and (ii) the Asset Sale and Liquidation Resolutions set out in Clause 16.2 having been adopted, the Parties have, subject to the terms of the Asset Sale agreement referred to below, agreed to a restructuring of the Combined Group in order to ensure full integration of the businesses of Ziggo and Liberty Global, as set out in more detail in Schedule 6 (the Asset Sale and Liquidation). In such case, Parties will as soon as possible after the EGM, enter into the asset sale agreement on BidCo's request in conformity with the draft attached as Schedule 7 (the Asset Sale), and perform their respective obligations thereunder.

7.4 In the event that BidCo and its Affiliates, alone or together with Ziggo, shall hold less than 80% of Ziggo's aggregate issued and outstanding ordinary share capital (geplaatst en uitstaand kapitaal) (excluding any Shares then held by Ziggo) immediately after settlement of all the Shares tendered in the Post Acceptance Period, the Boards shall have the right to re-evaluate the Asset Sale and Liquidation in light of the then prevailing circumstances and the Boards and the individual members of the Boards shall no longer be under the obligation to cooperate with the Asset Sale and Liquidation.

7.5 BidCo hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless, by way of irrevocable third party stipulation for no consideration, each current and future member of the Boards (each of them an Indemnified Party) against any damages, liabilities, losses, costs (including reasonable adviser fees) and fines (collectively Losses) actually incurred by such Indemnified Party in that capacity arising directly or indirectly from the Asset Sale and Liquidation and any acts or omissions in connection with preparing, proposing or implementing the Asset Sale and Liquidation, in each case:

(a) excluding any Losses arising, accruing or incurred as a result of a breach of his obligations under this Merger Protocol or the asset sale agreement, as referred to in Clause 7.3, or fraud

19

by such Indemnified Party, as finally established by a court decision or settlement agreement; and

(b) except to the extent covered by insurance and actually paid out pursuant to any insurance taken out for the benefit of an Indemnified Party; and

(c) excluding any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party in his or her capacity as a holder of Shares, including without limitation any withholding taxes and other taxes on any liquidation distributions to such Indemnified Party as part of the Liquidation,

provided that the Indemnified Party will not take any action that may prejudice or affect his or her or BidCo's position in litigation without BidCo's consent.

7.6 BidCo will have sole control over any litigation relating to any Losses for which the Indemnified Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder, including over any correspondence, negotiations and other communications with third parties that could potentially result in litigation. If so requested, BidCo shall keep the Indemnified Party properly informed and provide the Indemnified Party the opportunity to review and comment upon any correspondence, negotiations and other communications by BidCo with third parties.

7.7 Ziggo will procure that a D&O insurance policy is maintained (including coverage for claims from Shareholders) for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties providing for run-off cover for a period of up to five years after the Asset Sale and Liquidation, which policy provides in all other respects substantially equivalent cover as Ziggo's D&O insurance policy in force as at the date of this Merger Protocol.

Other Post-Closing Measures

7.8 If BidCo declares the Offer unconditional, then it shall be entitled to effect or cause to effect any other restructuring of the Ziggo Group for the purpose of achieving an optimal operational, legal, financial and/or fiscal structure in accordance with the Merger Rules and Dutch law in general, some of which may have the (side) effect of diluting the shareholding of any remaining minority shareholders of Ziggo (Post-Closing Measures), including:

(a) a sale of all, or substantially all, of the assets and liabilities of Ziggo to BidCo or an Affiliate of BidCo;

(b) a subsequent public offer for any Shares held by minority shareholders;

(c) a statutory cross-border or domestic (bilateral or triangular) legal merger (juridische (driehoeks-)fusie) in accordance with article 2:309 et seq of the DCC between Ziggo, BidCo, the Dutch Liberty Global Business and/or any other Affiliate of BidCo;

(d) a statutory legal demerger (juridische splitsing) of Ziggo in accordance with article 2:334a et seq of the DCC;

(e) a contribution of cash and/or assets by BidCo or by any Affiliate of BidCo in exchange for ordinary shares or preference shares in Ziggo's share capital, in which circumstances the pre-emptive rights (voorkeursrechten), if any, of minority shareholders of Ziggo may be excluded;

(f) a distribution of proceeds, cash and/or assets to the shareholders of Ziggo or share buybacks;

20

(g) a sale and transfer of assets and liabilities by BidCo or any of its Affiliates to any member of the Ziggo Group, or a sale and transfer of assets and liabilities by any member of the Ziggo Group to BidCo or any of its Affiliates;

(h) the conversion of Ziggo into a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid);

(i) any transaction between Ziggo and BidCo or their respective Affiliates at terms that are not at arm's length;

(j) any transaction, including a sale and/or transfer of any material asset, between Ziggo and its Affiliates or between Ziggo and BidCo or their respective Affiliates with the objective of utilising any carry forward tax losses available to Ziggo, BidCo or any of their respective Affiliates;

(k) any combination of the foregoing; or

(l) any transactions, restructurings, share issues, procedures and/or proceedings in relation to Ziggo and/or one or more of its Affiliates required to effect the aforementioned objectives.

7.9 In the implementation of any Post-Closing Measure, due consideration will be given to the requirements of Dutch law and Applicable Rules, including the requirement to consider the interests of all stakeholders including any minority shareholders of Ziggo, and the requirement for the members of the Supervisory Board to form their independent view of the relevant matter. In this respect, the Supervisory Board shall continue to have the right to engage, for the account of Ziggo, their own financial and legal advisors, if and to the extent they believe that the advice of such advisors is necessary to assist them in reviewing and assessing any matter that comes before the Supervisory Board.

7.10 If any proposed Post-Closing Measure could reasonably be expected to lead to a dilution of the shareholdings of the remaining minority shareholders in Ziggo, other than pursuant to a rights issue or any other share issue where they have been offered a reasonable opportunity to subscribe pro rata to their then existing shareholding, or any shares issued to a third party not being an Affiliate of a Party, a compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure) in accordance with article 2:92a or 2:201a of the DCC or the takeover buy-out procedure in accordance with article 2:359c of the DCC, or any other form of unequal treatment which could prejudice or negatively affect the value of the Shares held by the remaining minority shareholders or their reasonable interests, then the affirmative vote of at least one Continuing Member shall be required prior to the implementation of any such Post-Closing Measure.

8. STRATEGY

8.1 The joint strategy underpinning the business rationale of the Merger (the Dutch Business Strategy) will focus, amongst others, on:

(a) serving a large retail customer base in the fields of information, communication and entertainment, offering digital television, broadband internet and telephony;

(b) serving business markets and business to business, offering telephony, data communications and electronic payment systems;

(c) development of the current product offering to new solutions, including mobile functionality and convergence;

21

(d) realising maximum synergies and cost efficiencies by combining certain business operations of the Parties; and

(e) aligning with Liberty Global's long term strategy, which includes as one of its core pillars the delivery of organic growth through continued innovation and a commitment to ongoing investment.

8.2 BidCo shall support Ziggo and, after the Settlement Date, the Joint Dutch Operations, as the case may be, with the pursuit of their realisation of the Dutch Business Strategy.

8.3 The Ziggo Group or the Joint Dutch Operations, as the case may be, will continue to be a state-of-the-art media and communications services provider (in terms of core values, quality, infrastructure, technology, commercial services among other things) in the Netherlands and the Joint Dutch Operations will retain their material licences (including its operating licences) and will continue to fulfil the conditions necessary to maintain such licences.

9. ORGANISATION

9.1 As soon as possible after Settlement Date, the Ziggo Group and the Dutch Liberty Global Business will be managed by a single management team which will maintain the following organisational and commercial principles and arrangements.

9.2 The composition of the management board and the management team of the Joint Dutch Operations will be identical to the Management Board and the management team of Ziggo as determined in accordance with the terms of this Merger Protocol.

9.3 Following the Settlement Date, Ziggo will adopt the mitigated large company regime (gemitigeerd structuurregime). If Ziggo ceases to exist after a corporate restructuring (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a transfer of the Z business to Liberty Global or any of its Affiliates) or a holding company is interposed above both the Ziggo and the Dutch Liberty Global Business, the mitigated large company regime (gemitigeerd structuurregime) shall be established at the holding level of the Joint Dutch Operations. Ziggo or such holding company or successor company where the mitigated large company regime applies shall therefore continue to have a supervisory board, whereby one-third of the supervisory board members shall be appointed on the basis of a nomination made by the Works Council, and otherwise the composition of such supervisory board will be in accordance with Clauses 6.1 up to and including 6.5.

9.4 Ziggo's head office and relevant head office functions will remain in Utrecht, the Netherlands, which shall, following integration with the Dutch Liberty Global Business, be the head office for the Joint Dutch Operations. The Ziggo head office will be fully equipped with such functions and resources as will be necessary to implement and further develop and execute the strategy and to manage the Joint Dutch Operations, in line with the operating model used within the Liberty Global Group, where the Joint Dutch Operations will use certain group-wide functions as shared services and may provide shared services to other companies in the Liberty Global Group.

9.5 The Ziggo brand shall be the brand for the Joint Dutch Operations.

10. INTEGRATION

10.1 The Parties intend to integrate and align their respective Dutch businesses to fully benefit from their combined reach, scale and resources, in order to provide a compelling growth platform, maximise the growth potential of the two businesses and enhance the Parties' capabilities to service customers.

22

10.2 Until Settlement, the integration of the Dutch Liberty Global Business and Ziggo will be the responsibility of the respective boards of BidCo and Ziggo. In order to facilitate such integration, an integration committee will be established as soon as possible following the date of this Merger Protocol consisting of six members, three of which will be senior executives of Ziggo and three will be senior executives of the Liberty Global Group (the Integration Committee). One of the Liberty Global nominees will act as chairman and have the casting vote. Until the Settlement Date, the Integration Committee will report to the boards of BidCo and Ziggo, and after the Settlement Date, to selected members of the Liberty Global executive committee.

10.3 During the integration planning phase, the Parties will, subject to compliance with applicable Antitrust Laws restrictions, set up various workstreams to discuss the relevant topics (including, but not limited to HR, finance, tax, IT and technology). As part of this process, the Parties will, for instance, make their senior technology staff available to discuss the technical aspects of platform and IT alignment and integration after the Settlement Date and the implications of the Parties' current IT and platform strategy on such alignment and integration, and make their senior tax staff available to discuss the best means of structuring the tax planning and affairs of the Joint Dutch Operations and tax aspects of the Merger and the Offer Debt Financing.

10.4 The Parties will strive to realise the synergies of the Merger as soon as reasonably possible after Settlement. Ziggo confirms that the Boards unanimously subscribe to the joint strategic vision underlying the Merger and support the realisation of those synergies.

10.5 As soon as possible following the date of this Merger Protocol, and subject to restrictions under the Applicable Rules, the Integration Committee will start developing a detailed integration plan. The integration plan will describe the desired organisational structure and processes as well as the detailed steps required to effect the integration. The Integration Committee will develop an integration plan for the Joint Dutch Operations, which shall be consistent with the Dutch Business Strategy. The integration plan, the business plan and the strategy for the Joint Dutch Operations will, before they are finalised, be presented by the Integration Committee to the boards of both BidCo and Ziggo with the objective to obtain their endorsement. The Integration Committee will take into account all comments received from both boards, with a view to presenting the finalised plan to the boards of both BidCo and Ziggo. Immediately after the Settlement Date, the board of BidCo will formally approve the integration plan, the business plan and the strategy for the Joint Dutch Operations.

10.6 The Integration Committee will be assisted by a consulting firm, that will be appointed by BidCo and Ziggo jointly as soon as practically possible following the Initial Announcement. The costs of the consulting firm will be shared equally between BidCo and Ziggo.

10.7 Following the Settlement Date, the Integration Committee will continue to be in place and will be responsible for the implementation of the integration plan and do all things necessary to optimise the integration of the businesses of BidCo and Ziggo.

10.8 Prior to the Settlement Date, BidCo and Ziggo will determine the interim reporting structure for the Ziggo Group within the Combined Group. The final reporting structure will be described in the integration plan for the Joint Dutch Operations.

11. EMPLOYEES

Selection

11.1 The Parties agree that, following the Settlement Date, the nomination, selection and appointment of staff for functions within the integrated Combined Group will, subject to the Applicable Rules, be based

23

on the "best person for the job" principle, or, where not feasible or appropriate, on non-discriminatory, fair and business-oriented transparent set of criteria.

11.2 Subject to Clause 6.7(a) the Parties agree that the senior management team and the direct reports to the senior management team (the "top 75") of the Joint Dutch Operations will be selected under the supervision of the Integration Committee on the basis of an individual assessment, taking into account the new structure and new processes of the Joint Dutch Operations.

11.3 The individual assessment process will be organized and conducted by the Integration Committee, assisted by a specialised professional advisory firm.

11.4 BidCo and Ziggo acknowledge that the integration of their businesses may have potential consequences for the employees of the Joint Dutch Operations. The Parties shall assume responsibility for the related measures and costs thereof and shall honour the redundancy arrangements, social plans and applicable contractual arrangements already made or to be made with the relevant employees. Any future social plans to be agreed in connection with the combination of the businesses of Liberty Global and Ziggo shall be consistent with the social plans agreed and applied by Ziggo and the Dutch Liberty Global Business (as applicable) in connection with recent restructurings, subject to additional arrangements to address specific issues resulting from the combination and integration of the businesses of Liberty Global and Ziggo.

11.5 The Works Council and the trade unions will be given the opportunity to exercise all of its rights pursuant to Applicable Rules and the covenants entered into with them in relation to any redundancies and specific integration plans, including, if applicable, their right to provide advice. Furthermore, all other applicable employee information and consultation requirements in relation to any redundancies and specific integration plans will also be complied with at the relevant time.

11.6 Subject to Clause 11.1, the Parties will ensure that the determination and choice of the redundancies arising from the integration will be made in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner (and therefore not making a distinction on the basis of current employer), irrespective whether such redundancy occurs in connection with an integration with Liberty Global's operations in Schiphol-Rijk, the Netherlands, or the Dutch Liberty Global Business.

11.7 To the extent required pursuant to existing or future social plans and/or redundancy plans, the Parties will ensure that any vacancies that arise during the integration phase within the Combined Group and within the same geographical area are first offered to employees of the Combined Group who have or would have become redundant in connection with the Offer and the contemplated transactions, subject to such employees having the relevant skills and experience.

11.8 Liberty Global shall offer outplacement services to any employees of the Ziggo Group that become redundant in connection with the Offer and the contemplated transactions, to the extent required pursuant to existing or future social plans and/or redundancy plans.

11.9 After the Settlement Date and, if applicable, for the agreed duration of the respective arrangements, BidCo will respect and continue the current Ziggo employee consultation structure (i.e. Works Council and other existing employee representative bodies) until such time that the integration process of the Joint Dutch Operations merits a unified employee consultation structure.

1.10 After the Settlement Date, BidCo shall respect any and all existing rights and benefits of employees of the Ziggo Group, including under any existing social plans, profit sharing schemes, covenants (including covenants with the Works Council) and collective labour agreements (including the employee benefits

24

included in the terms thereof), as well as the terms of the individual employment agreements between the Ziggo Group and its employees, for the agreed duration of these arrangements and agreements or, if earlier, as soon as any new harmonisation or redundancy plans have been negotiated.

11.11 Liberty Global shall respect any and all existing pension rights of the Ziggo Group's current and former employees. The current financial obligations with respect to the funding of Ziggo's pension funds will be respected.

12. SECURITY AND PRIVACY

12.1 BidCo recognizes the relevance of the Joint Dutch Operations to the national security of the Netherlands and the importance to the safety, well-being and privacy of persons in the Netherlands in maintaining the continuity, integrity and security of the cable infrastructure and cable services in the Netherlands. Therefore, BidCo is fully committed to Ziggo, and, after the Settlement Date, to the Joint Dutch Operations, to maintain all required and commercially reasonable measures to protect against the unauthorized disclosure of the contents of electronic communications, and to safeguard and warrant the continuity, integrity and security of its communication systems and networks and its compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in this respect.

12.2 BidCo will ensure that all domestic communications infrastructure of the Joint Dutch Operations will (i) continue to be operated and controlled by the Joint Dutch Operations; (ii) continue to be located in the Netherlands (to the extent currently located in the Netherlands) and (iii) continue to be directed, controlled, supervised and managed by the Joint Dutch Operations, all in accordance with the requirements of applicable Dutch law and as otherwise necessary or conducive to conduct the Ziggo business in the Netherlands.

12.3 BidCo will ensure that the viability, integrity and security of Ziggo's communication systems and networks will be maintained as well as appropriate security policies and procedures, each at a level which is at least equal to the current level, so as to ensure that all applicable laws, rules and regulations in this respect will continue to be complied with, including, but not limited to, those relating to privacy and to the retention, preservation or production of information and data.

13. DURATION, BENEFIT AND ENFORCEMENT NON-FINANCIAL COVENANTS

Duration

13.1 Although BidCo currently has no intention to deviate from the covenants, confirmations and commitments set out in Clauses 5.2 up to and including 5.7 (Financing), 6 (Corporate Governance), 7.10 (Post-Closing Restructuring), 8 (Strategy), 9 (Organisation), 10 (Integration), 11 (Employees) and 12 (Security and Privacy) (the Non-Financial Covenants), the Parties agree that the Non-Financial Covenants will expire on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Settlement Date, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Merger Protocol.

13.2 The Parties agree that, in the event that Ziggo ceases to exist during the duration set out in Clause 13.1 as a result of the integration of the businesses of Ziggo and the Dutch Liberty Global Business or for any other reason (such as pursuant to the Asset Sale and Liquidation), the Non-Financial Covenants shall continue to apply to the holding company of the Joint Dutch Operations. In such case, all references to Ziggo in the Non-Financial Covenants shall be deemed to refer to such holding company of the Joint Dutch Operations, its subsidiaries and its businesses.

Benefit and Enforcement

25

13.3 Any deviation from the Non-Financial Covenants shall require the prior approval of the Supervisory Board, including the affirmative vote of at least one Continuing Member.

13.4 The Non-Financial Covenants are made to Ziggo as well as, by way of irrevocable third party undertaking for no consideration (onherroepelijk derdenbeding om niet), to each of the two Continuing Members in their capacity as members of the Supervisory Board, it being understood that the Non-Financial Covenants may only be enforced by Ziggo represented by the Continuing Members, acting jointly. BidCo hereby agrees in advance to the assignment of the benefit of this undertaking by any Continuing Member to its successor.

13.5 Ziggo will bear all costs and expenses relating to the enforcement of the Non-Financial Covenants by the Continuing Members.

15. INCENTIVE PLANS

15.1 At the date of this Merger Protocol, Ziggo has granted conditional performance shares to members of the Management Board and ten other employees of the Ziggo Group (the other employees are referred to as Other Participants) pursuant to the Ziggo Long Term Incentive Plan as approved by the general meeting of shareholders of Ziggo on 20 March 2012 (LTIP), as disclosed in the Liberty Global Pre-Announcement Due Diligence (the 2012 and 2013 Awards). Any conditional performance shares granted by Ziggo pursuant to the LTIP to former members of the Management Board at the date of this Merger Protocol which have not yet vested at the date of this Merger Protocol qualify as 2012 and/or 2013 Awards for the purpose of this Clause 15. Furthermore, it is expected that conditional performance shares will also be granted to the Management Board and the Other Participants in respect of the years 2014 and, if applicable, 2015, pursuant to a long term incentive plan 2014 and, if applicable, 2015 to be adopted by the Supervisory Board (the 2014 and 2015 Awards). Ziggo guarantees that no conditional performance shares have been or will be granted to former members of the Management Board in respect of the years 2014 and 2015. The 2014 and 2015 Awards, to the extent applicable, shall be in line with the current remuneration policy of Ziggo and the long term incentive plans 2012 and 2013 (the 2012 and 2013 Awards and the 2014 and 2015 Awards together, the LTIP Awards) and the value of each of the 2014 and 2015 Awards (if any) shall not exceed the value of the 2013 Awards, unless agreed otherwise by Ziggo and Liberty Global. Such value shall be determined and compared on an individual basis. The above will not apply to Xx. Xxxxxxxx, whose management service arrangements will be settled in accordance with his existing terms.

15.2 The Parties acknowledge that all rights in respect of the LTIP Awards will be respected, subject to the provisions set out below.

15.3 The Parties agree that the 2012 and 2013 Awards as well as the 2014 and 2015 Awards (if any) will be cancelled per the Settlement Date without any compensation being due to the relevant person, provided that:

(a) 50% of the originally granted conditional shares under the 2012 and 2013 Awards will be treated as if they had vested on the Settlement Date in respect of which the members of the Management Board, and former members of the Management Board, to the extent applicable pursuant to Clause 15.1, and the Other Participants will be entitled to the Offer Price as if those persons had tendered those vested shares under the Offer;

(b) Liberty Global shall or shall ensure that the relevant company within the Liberty Global Group, shall, subject to the Liberty Global 2014 Incentive Plan (effective on or around 1 March 2014) (the Liberty Global Plan) and without reflecting any of the terms included in the plan rules applicable to the LTIP Awards, replace 100% of the originally granted conditional shares under the 2014 Awards (if any) per the first day of the month following the Settlement Date with Liberty Global Restricted Stock Units as defined in the Liberty Global Plan (the Liberty Global Award) on the basis of the Incentive Share Consideration Mechanism. Without prejudice to the rules of the Liberty Global Plan and the standard vesting arrangements as determined from time to time:

(i) the Liberty Global Award will be subject to the following standard Liberty Global vesting schedule: (i) 12½% of the Liberty Global Award vests after 6 months following the date of grant of the Liberty Global Award and (ii) the remaining 87½% of the Liberty Global Award will vest quarterly during the following 3½ year period in portions of 6¼% of the Liberty Global Award per quarter;

27

(ii) subject to applicable laws and regulations, no lock-up period applies in respect of Restricted Stock Units as set out above or parts thereof following the respective vesting date;

(iii) the relevant persons will not be entitled to Dividend Equivalents as defined in the Liberty Global Plan;

"Incentive Share Consideration Mechanism" means the conversion of each originally granted conditional share under the 2014 LTIP Awards into: (i) a Restricted Stock Unit comprising 0.3339 Liberty Global A Share (or in the event that Liberty Global implements the Liberty Global Share Split, 0.3339 Liberty Global A Share) and (ii) a Restricted Stock Unit comprising 0.2450 Liberty Global C Share (or in the event that Liberty Global implements the Liberty Global Share Split, 0.8239 Liberty Global C Share), both subject to rounding down to whole share units without further satisfaction. In the event that Liberty Global implements the Latam Distribution, each number of Restricted Stock Units in both (i) and (ii) shall be multiplied by the applicable In Kind Adjustment Factor (as defined in Schedule 11).

15.4 Any such payments made under this Clause 15 will be made through regular payroll and after deduction of wage tax and social premiums (if applicable).

15.5 This Clause 15 overrules any arrangements to the contrary between any member of the Ziggo Group and each member (or former member) of the Management Board or relevant Other Participant.

purposes valued at the date of the commitment under (a) above). To the extent that the Potential Competing Offer is an offer for all or substantially all of the assets of the Ziggo Group, the calculation shall be made on the basis of the net proceeds to be distributed to the shareholders of Ziggo resulting from such a transaction calculated on a per Share basis; and

(c) it is determined by the Boards, in accordance with Clause 3.3, to be substantially more beneficial to Ziggo and its stakeholders than the Offer as contemplated in this Merger Protocol, specifically taking into account the identity and track record of such third party, the consideration to be received by shareholders, the likelihood of completion, the other terms and conditions of the Potential Competing Offer and the interests of all stakeholders of Ziggo; and

(d) Ziggo has promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notified BidCo in writing and provided full details, to the extent available to it, of such offer.

21.4 If BidCo has matched any Competing Offer in accordance with Clause 21.5, the consideration per Share of any other, consecutive or amended offer made by any bona fide third party for all of the outstanding Shares or all or substantially all of the assets of the Ziggo Group or a merger of Ziggo (a Subsequent Higher Offer) must exceed the most recently offered consideration per Share by BidCo after having exercised its Matching Right by at least eight per cent. (8%), in order for any such Subsequent Higher Offer to qualify as a Competing Offer for the purpose of this Merger Protocol.

21.5 In the event of a Competing Offer, the following shall apply:

(a) Ziggo shall keep BidCo informed of any material developments in relation to such Competing Offer;

(b) BidCo shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days following announcement of the Competing Offer to decide whether or not it wants to revise its Offer and match the Competing Offer (the Matching Right);

(c) if BidCo exercises its Matching Right and its revised Offer is determined by the Boards, having consulted their financial and legal advisors and acting in good faith and observing their obligations under Dutch law, to be at least equally beneficial to Ziggo and its stakeholders as the Competing Offer within the aforementioned period of five (5) Business Days (a Matching Revised Offer), Ziggo shall not be entitled to accept the Competing Offer and/or to terminate this Merger Protocol, except if permitted by this Clause 21 in respect of any consecutive Competing Offer; and

(d) if BidCo has failed to timely inform Ziggo in accordance with Clause 21.5(b), or if BidCo has not made a Matching Revised Offer or if BidCo has informed Ziggo that it does not wish to exercise its Matching Right, Ziggo shall be entitled to accept the Competing Offer and the Boards shall have the right, but shall not be obliged, to withdraw or, as applicable, modify the Recommendation and the Position Statement. If Ziggo accepts the Competing Offer and this is communicated to BidCo within ten (10) Business Days from the last day of the aforementioned period of ten (10) Business Days, each Party shall be entitled, but shall not be obliged, to terminate this Merger Protocol in accordance with Clause 22. If in such scenario neither Party exercises its right to terminate this Merger Protocol, this Merger Protocol shall remain in full force and effect, save for the provisions of Clause 4.5(h) and Clauses 20.1 and 20.2, which shall then no longer apply in relation to the Competing Offer and the third party having made such Competing Offer.
