The Stock Acquisition Agreement

On March 13, 2014, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary VTR Chile Holdings SpA, as buyer, entered into a stock acquisition agreement with Inversiones Corp Comm 2 SpA, as seller, and Corp Group Holding Inversiones Limitada, as guarantor of seller’s obligations, for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of each of VTR GlobalCom SpA and VTR Wireless SpA not currently owned by us. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the stock acquisition agreement, the purchase price for the interests in VTR GlobalCom and VTR Wireless we are acquiring will be paid in full by the issuance to the seller of 10,091,178 Class C ordinary shares of $0.01 nominal value each of Liberty Global. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the stock acquisition agreement, VTR GlobalCom SpA and VTR Wireless SpA will each be our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary.

Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factors in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on February 13, 2014, and any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. Those risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently judge to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the aforementioned risks or other materials actually occurs, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our class C ordinary shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

This prospectus, including documents incorporated by reference herein, includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), including statements regarding our expectations with respect to our growth prospects and our strategic initiatives over the next few years, our expectations regarding our operating cash flow margins and percentage of revenue represented by our property and equipment additions in 2014, the amount of our anticipated non-functional currency transactions in 2014, the future projected cash flows of our continuing operations associated with our commitments and derivative instruments, our business, product, foreign currency and finance strategies, our property and equipment additions, subscriber growth and retention rates, competitive, regulatory and economic factors, the maturity of our markets, anticipated cost increases, liquidity, credit risks, foreign currency risks and target leverage levels. In some cases, you can identify these statements by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “intend” and other terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of the future operations or financial performance of our company. To the extent that statements in this prospectus (or incorporated by reference herein) are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements, which, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.

You should be aware that these statements and any other forward-looking statements in these documents only reflect our expectations and are not guarantees of performance. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond our control and may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from our expectations.

Known risk factors that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations are identified and discussed in our filings with the SEC. Some, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from anticipated results or events include the following:

The broadband distribution services industries are changing rapidly and, therefore, the forward-looking statements of expectations, plans and intent contained or incorporated in this prospectus are subject to a significant degree of risk. These forward-looking statements and the above-described risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this prospectus, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained or incorporated herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus or any documents incorporated by reference herein.

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of any class C ordinary shares offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. We, and not the selling shareholder, will pay the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, but the selling shareholder will pay all discounts, commissions or brokers’ fees or fees of similar securities industry professionals and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to sales of any class C ordinary shares covered by this prospectus.

In connection with the private placement of our class C ordinary shares to the selling shareholder pursuant to the stock acquisition agreement, we have filed a registration statement with the SEC that includes this prospectus to register our class C ordinary shares that we are issuing to the selling shareholder for resale by the selling shareholder, and have agreed to keep the registration statement effective for not less than 90 days during the six-month period following the date it initially became effective, or such shorter period during which the shares covered by this registration statement may be disposed of by the selling shareholder. The registration of the class C ordinary shares for resale does not necessarily mean that the selling shareholder will sell all or any of the shares.

Prior to our acquisition of the selling shareholder’s 20% interest in the outstanding capital stock of each of our indirect subsidiaries, VTR GlobalCom SpA and VTR Wireless SpA, pursuant to the stock acquisition agreement, the selling shareholder was a non-controlling shareholder of these subsidiaries and participated in their management, including through representation on the VTR GlobalCom SpA and the VTR Wireless SpA boards of directors. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, neither the selling shareholder nor any of its affiliates has, or within the past three years has had, any material relationship with us or our predecessor or affiliates.

The following table sets forth the name of the selling shareholder, the number of class C ordinary shares beneficially owned by the selling shareholder, the number of class C ordinary shares that may be offered under this prospectus and the number of class C ordinary shares owned by the selling shareholder after the offering. All information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information obtained from the selling shareholder prior to the date hereof. Information concerning the selling shareholder may change from time to time. The selling shareholder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the securities under this prospectus. Because the selling shareholder is not obligated to sell the offered securities, we cannot state with certainty the amount of our securities that the selling shareholder will hold upon consummation of any such sales. In addition, since the date on which the selling shareholder provided this information to us, the selling shareholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of the offered securities.

We are registering the class C ordinary shares covered by this prospectus to permit the selling shareholder to conduct public secondary trading of such shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. The selling shareholder, or its pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of its successors in interest, selling shares received from the named selling shareholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale-related transfer after the date of this prospectus, may sell the shares registered hereby from time to time on any national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the shares are listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may have changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling shareholder may sell the shares by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

The selling shareholder may also transfer the shares by gift. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings by the selling shareholder for the sale of any of the shares.

The selling shareholder may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the shares. These brokers or dealers may act as principals, or as an agent of the selling shareholder. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of the shares at a stipulated price per share. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell shares acting as an agent for the selling shareholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold securities at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell the shares from time to time in transactions in any national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the securities are listed or quoted at the time of sale, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. The selling shareholder may also sell the shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the shares are covered by this prospectus.

From time to time, the selling shareholder may pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in some or all of its shares. The pledgees, secured parties or persons to whom the shares have been hypothecated will, upon foreclosure in the event of default, be deemed to be a selling shareholder. The number of the selling shareholder’s shares offered under this prospectus will decrease as and when it takes such actions. The plan of distribution for the selling shareholder’s shares would otherwise remain unchanged. In addition, the selling shareholder may, from time to time, sell the shares short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sales and the shares offered under this prospectus may be used to cover short sales.

To the extent required under the Securities Act, the aggregate amount of the selling shareholder’s shares being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from the selling shareholder and/or purchasers of the selling shareholder’s shares, for whom they may act (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

The selling shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling shareholder is deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, underwriters are subject to certain statutory liabilities, including, but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act.

The selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling shareholder, including, without limitation, in connection with distributions of the shares by those broker-dealers. The selling shareholder may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the shares offered hereby to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer those shares. The selling shareholder may also loan or pledge the shares offered hereby to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the shares offered hereby so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged shares offered hereby.

The selling shareholder and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling shareholder or any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholder and its affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular shares being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares.

We have agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the selling shareholder and any brokers, dealers and agents who may be deemed to be underwriters, if any, of the shares covered by this registration statement, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling shareholder has agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The shares offered hereby were originally issued to the selling shareholder pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We agreed to register the shares under the Securities Act, and to keep the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, effective for not less than 90 days during the six-month period following the date it initially became effective, or such shorter period during which the shares covered by this registration statement have been disposed of by the selling shareholder. We have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this offering, but not including underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees of the selling shareholders or any fees and expense of counsel or other advisors to the selling shareholder.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of any shares by the selling shareholder.

The selling shareholder may sell none, some or all of the shares offered by this prospectus. We cannot predict when or in what amount the selling shareholder may sell any of the shares offered by this prospectus.

Legal matters relating to the validity of the securities to be offered pursuant to this prospectus have been passed upon by Dorsey & Whitney (Europe) LLP.

The following table sets forth expenses payable by Liberty Global in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered. All of the amounts shown are estimates except the SEC registration statement filing fee.

The following is only a general summary of certain aspects of English law and our articles of association that are related to the indemnification of directors and officers, and it does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the U.K. Companies Act 2006 and of our articles of association.

English law does not permit a company to exempt any director or certain officers from any liability arising from negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust against the company. However, despite this prohibition, an English company is permitted to purchase and maintain insurance for a director or executive officer of the company against any such liability. Shareholders can ratify by ordinary resolution a director’s or certain officer’s conduct amounting to negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company. Sections 205, 206 and Chapter 7 of Part 10 of the U.K. Companies Act 2006 contain provisions protecting directors from liability.

Section 205 provides that a company can provide a director with funds to meet expenditures incurred or to be incurred by him in defending any criminal or civil proceedings in connection with any alleged negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him in relation to the company or an associated company, or in connection with any application for relief under Section 661(3) or (4) (relief in case of acquisition of shares by innocent nominee) or Section 1157 (relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct). The terms on which such loan or other assistance is given must include a requirement that the loan be repaid or the liability discharged if the director is convicted, judgment is given against him or the court refuses to grant the relief on the application.

Section 206 provides that a company can provide a director with funds to meet expenditures incurred or to be incurred by him in defending any investigation by a regulatory authority or against action proposed to be taken by a regulatory authority in connection with any alleged negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company or an associated company.

Section 232(1) makes void any provision that purports to exempt a director from any liability that would otherwise attach to him in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him or her in relation to the company.

Section 232(2) makes similar provisions in respect of indemnities provided for a director, subject to three permitted types of indemnity, each discussed more fully below:

Section 233 permits liability insurance, commonly known as directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, purchased and maintained by a company for a director of the company or of an associated company against liability for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company.

Section 234 allows for a company to provide an indemnity against liability incurred by a director to someone other than the company or an associated company. Such an indemnity does not permit indemnification against liability to pay criminal fines or civil penalties to a regulatory authority or the costs of an unsuccessful defense of criminal or civil proceedings or application for relief under Section 661 (relief in case of acquisition of shares by innocent nominee) or Section 1157 (general power of court to grant relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct).

Section 235 allows a company to provide an indemnity against liability incurred by a director that is a trustee of an occupational pension scheme in connection with the company’s activities as trustee of the scheme. Such an indemnity does not permit indemnification against liability to pay criminal fines or civil penalties to a regulatory authority or the costs of an unsuccessful defense of criminal or civil proceedings.

Any indemnity provided under Section 234 or Section 235 must be disclosed in the company’s annual report in accordance with Section 236, copies of such indemnification provisions made available for inspection in accordance with Section 237 and every member has a right to inspect and request such copies under Section 238.

Conduct of a director amounting to negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company can be ratified, in accordance with Section 239, by a resolution of the members of the company, disregarding the votes of the director (if a member) and any connected member.

Under our articles of association, subject to the provisions of the U.K. Companies Act 2006, we may, broadly, (i) indemnify to any extent any person who is or was a director, or a director of any associated company, directly or indirectly against any liability incurred by him whether in connection with negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust or otherwise by him or her in relation to the company or any associated company, or in connection with that company’s activities as a trustee of an occupational pension scheme and (ii) purchase and maintain insurance for any person who is or was a director, or a director of an associated company, against any loss or liability or any expenditure he or she may incur, whether in connection with any proven or alleged negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him or otherwise, in relation to the company or any associated company.

We enter into deeds of indemnity with directors, executive officers and certain other officers and employees (including directors, officers and employees of subsidiaries and other affiliates). These deeds of indemnity require that the company indemnify such persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against all losses suffered or incurred by them in the event that they are a party to or involved in any claim arising in connection with their appointment as director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the company or another corporation at the request of the company.

We will arrange appropriate insurance coverage in respect of legal action against directors of the company and its consolidated subsidiaries. We will also provide protections for our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ directors against personal financial exposure they may incur in their capacity as such. These include qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of directors of the company and other such persons, including, where applicable, in their capacity as directors of our consolidated subsidiaries.

The following is a complete list of Exhibits filed as part of this registration statement.

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(i)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or

controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Englewood, state of Colorado, on March 14, 2014.

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that each person whose signature appears below constitutes and appoints Bernard G. Dvorak and Bryan H. Hall and each of them, his true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and agents with full power of substitution and re-substitution for him and in his name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to sign and file (i) any or all amendments (including post-effective amendments) to this registration statement, with all exhibits thereto, and other documents in connection therewith, and (ii) a registration statement, and any and all exhibits thereto, relating to the offering covered hereby filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, granting unto said attorneys-in-fact and agents and each of them full power and authority, to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite or necessary to be done in and about the premises, to all intents and purposes and as fully as they might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents or their substitutes may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this registration statement has been signed by the following persons (which persons constitute a majority of the Board of Directors) in the capacities and on the dates indicated:
