Item 2.03. 
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 

As of March 31, 2015, Liberty Global plc indirectly owned 56.8% of Telenet Group Holding NV (Telenet). Telenet International Finance S.à r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telenet, together with certain other subsidiaries of Telenet, is a party to the senior credit facility agreement, originally dated as of August 1, 2007 (as amended and supplemented, the Telenet Credit Facility). On July 1, 2015, (i) the revolving credit facility under the Telenet Credit Facility was increased by €85.0 million ($94.1 million at the transaction date) (Facility X2) pursuant to Additional Facility X2 Accession Agreement among Telenet International Finance S.à.r.l. as Borrower, Telenet NV and Telenet International Finance S.à.r.l. as Guarantors, and (ii) a lender under the existing Facility S under the Telenet Credit Facility agreed to novate commitments of €10.0 million ($11.1 million at the transaction date) to a subsidiary of Telenet NV and enter into the new Facility X2, resulting in a total availability under Facility X2 of €95.0 million ($105.2 million at the transaction date). As a result of these transactions, the total commitments under Telenet’s revolving credit facilities now aggregate €607.9 million ($673.3 million at the transaction date). Facility X2 has the same terms as Facility X, as described in Liberty Global’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 15, 2014.

The summary, terms, conditions and provisions of the Additional Facility X2 Accession Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the disclosure in this Current Report on Form 8-K and reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
