Explanation of Responses:
1. On September 6, 2005, the Issuer distributed shares of its Series C common stock as a dividend at a rate of one share of Series C common stock for every share of Issuer's common stock outstanding as of August 26, 2005. As a result, the Reporting Person's SAR grants were adjusted for the dividend by adjusting the exercise price of the original SAR grant between a SAR grant based on Series A common stock and a SAR grant based on Series C common stock.
2. The SAR vests in four equal annual installments commencing on October 1, 2005.
3. Per the terms of the SAR, Reporting Person was entitled to receive, upon exercise of the SAR, stock equal to the excess of (x) the lesser of $10.90 or the fair market value of the Series A common stock on date of exercise, over (y) the exercise price of the grant, less applicable withholding taxes. Fair market value of Series A common stock on date of exercise of the SAR by Reporting Person was $26.10. Accordingly, of the 55,491 shares of Series A common stock underlying the SAR, 5,949 shares of Series A common stock were issued to Reporting Person representing the net proceeds from exercise of the SAR, 17,226 shares of the Series A common stock were withheld and never issued by Issuer as payment of the exercise price and tax withholding, and 32,316 shares of Series A common stock were withheld and never issued by Issuer as a result of the difference between the cap of $10.90 and $26.10, which was the fair market value of the Series A common stock on the exercise date.
4. (4) Per the terms of the SAR, Reporting Person was entitled to receive, upon exercise of the SAR, stock equal to the excess of (x) the lesser of $10.31 or the fair market value of the Series C common stock on date of exercise, over (y) the exercise price of the grant, less applicable withholding taxes. Fair market value of Series C common stock on date of exercise of the SAR by Reporting Person was $25.08. Accordingly, of the 55,491 shares of Series C common stock underlying the SAR, 4,992 shares of Series C common stock were issued to Reporting Person representing the net proceeds from exercise of the SAR, 17,821 shares of the Series C common stock were withheld and never issued by Issuer as payment of the exercise price and tax withholding, and 32,678 shares Series C common stock were withheld and never issued by Issuer as a result of the difference between the cap of $10.31 and $25.08, which was the fair market value of the Series C common stock on the exercise date.
5. On September 30, 2005, the Reporting Person acquired 209 shares of Issuer's Series C common stock as a result of contributions by Issuer under a 401(k) plan.
Remarks:
The trading symbols for Issuer's Series A, Series B and Series C common stock are LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK, respectively.
