UPC Broadband Holding B.V. (UPC Broadband Holding) is an indirect subsidiary of Liberty Global plc. On April 19, 2013, UPC Broadband Holding entered into a new additional facility accession agreement (the Additional Facility AH Accession Agreement) under UPC Broadband Holding's senior secured bank facility (as amended, the UPC Broadband Holding Bank Facility). Pursuant to the Additional Facility AH Accession Agreement, certain lenders under facilities T and X (Facilities T and X) of the UPC Broadband Holding Bank Facility (the Rolling Lenders) agreed to roll their existing respective Facility T and X commitments into a new term loan facility of $1,305.0 million (Facility AH). The Rolling Lenders novated their existing respective commitments to Liberty Global Services B.V. (Liberty Global Services), a direct subsidiary of UPC Broadband Holding, and became lenders under the new Facility AH. Certain other new lenders (the New Lenders) agreed to make available commitments under Facility AH. The underwriters of Facility AH (the Underwriters), as one of the initial lenders under Facility AH, entered into cash novation certificates under the Additional Facility AH Accession Agreement on behalf of the New Lenders and the net proceeds from the commitments thereunder were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Facilities T and X. Liberty Global Services, the initial lender under Facility AH, novated its Facility AH commitment to the Rolling Lenders and to the Underwriters, as applicable. The novation process with respect to the Rolling Lenders and the repayment of Facilities T and X was completed on April 24, 2013. The novation process with respect to the New Lenders was completed on June 24. 2013. The final maturity date for Facility AH is June 30, 2021. Facility AH bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum.
