All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on current expectations, assumptions and projections about future events and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as &#8220;plans&#8221;, &#8220;expects&#8221;, &#8220;is expected&#8221;, &#8220;is subject to&#8221;, &#8220;budget&#8221;, &#8220;scheduled&#8221;, &#8220;estimates&#8221;, &#8220;forecasts&#8221;, &#8220;intends&#8221;, &#8220;anticipates&#8221;, &#8220;believes&#8221;, &#8220;targets&#8221;, &#8220;aims&#8221;, &#8220;projects&#8221; or words or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, as well as variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results &#8220;may&#8221;, &#8220;could&#8221;, &#8220;should&#8221;, &#8220;would&#8221;, &#8220;might&#8221; or &#8220;will&#8221; be taken, occur or be achieved.

Other factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include our ability to obtain the approval of Liberty Global shareholders for the Redomiciliation and the resolutions proposed at related meetings of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares and Class C Ordinary Shares, our ability to satisfy the other conditions to the Redomiciliation on the expected timeframe, or at all, our ability to realize the expected benefits from the Redomiciliation and the occurrence of unanticipated difficulties or costs in connection with the Redomiciliation.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">All of our forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors.

Item 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURES
On July 5, 2023, Liberty Global plc ("
Liberty Global
", "
we
", "
our
"), one of the world's leading converged video, broadband and mobile communications companies, issued a press release (the "
Press Release
") noting the support of Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), a proxy advisory services firm, of our proposed change of jurisdiction of incorporation of our parent holding company to Bermuda from England & Wales (the "
Redomiciliation
").
Liberty Global also updated certain of its sponsored advertisements for certain web searches on major search engines (the "
Advertisements
") in connection with the Redomiciliation
. We also updated our microsite webpage that discusses the Redomiciliation (the "
Microsite Updates
") and made posts on certain social media platforms regarding the Redomiciliation (the "
Social Media Posts
"). The Press Release, the Advertisements, the Microsite Updates and the Social Media Posts are attached as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2, Exhibit 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4, respectively, to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains certain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Liberty Global and certain plans and objectives of Liberty Global with respect to the Redomiciliation. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on current expectations, assumptions and projections about future events and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "targets", "aims", "projects" or words or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, as well as variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations.
Although Liberty Global believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the matters set forth under "Forward Looking Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of Liberty Global's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in Part I, Item 2 of Liberty Global's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. Other factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include our ability to obtain the approval of Liberty Global shareholders for the Redomiciliation and the resolutions proposed at related meetings of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares and Class C Ordinary Shares, our ability to satisfy the other conditions to the Redomiciliation on the expected timeframe, or at all, our ability to realize the expected benefits from the Redomiciliation and the occurrence of unanticipated difficulties or costs in connection with the Redomiciliation.
All of our forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. All of our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws and regulations. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.
