Explanation of Responses:
1. This option was granted to Mr. Gale pursuant to the Virgin Media Sharesave Plan (the "Sharesave Plan") on May 14, 2008. With limited exceptions, the Sharesave Plan for 2008 was generally made available to all employees and eligible employees were invited to enter into savings contracts under which they agree to have amounts ranging from GBP5 to GBP100 deducted from their net salary each month. These sums are held within special savings accounts operated by Yorkshire Building Society, an appointed independent savings carrier. At the end of the three year savings period, the participants can decide to exercise their options. If the participant decides they want to exercise their options they must do so within six months from the maturity of the savings contract.
2. The exercise price is GBP4.92 per share. The exercise price is equal to the mid market price of the Company's stock as of April 6, 2008 of $12.14 discounted by 20% and converted into sterling at the rate of GBP1=$1.9756, the exchange rate of the date of grant of the option.
3. This option became exercisable on July 1, 2011
