On March 15, 2011, UnitedGlobalCom, Inc. (UGC), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global, Inc. (LGI) called for redemption all of its outstanding 1¾% Convertible Senior Notes due April 15, 2024 (the Notes). As of March 14, 2011, 328.2 million ($459.2 million at the March 14, 2011 exchange rate) aggregate principal amount of the Notes were outstanding. The Notes trade through the facilities of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (Euroclear), and Clearstream Banking, sociéte anonyme (Clearstream), and UGC has provided a Notice of Redemption and Conversion Rights to those clearing systems. The Notes will be redeemed through the facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream in accordance with their rules and procedures.
The redemption date is April 20, 2011, and all Notes that remain outstanding on that date will be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, April 20, 2011. The immediately preceding April 15th is an interest payment date for the Notes.
As a result of the call for redemption, the Notes are now convertible at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., London time, on April 18, 2011 (the second business day preceding the redemption date). The conversion price is 44.7809 ($62.6485 at the March 14, 2011 exchange rate). Each 1,000 ($1,399 at the March 14, 2011 exchange rate) principal amount of Notes is convertible into 22.3309 shares of LGI Series A common stock (LBTYA) and 22.0888 shares of LGI Series C common stock (LBTYK). UGC may settle any exercise of conversion rights, at UGCs election, with (i) shares of LBTYA, cash in euros in lieu of shares of LBTYA, or a combination of cash in euros and shares of LBTYA, and (ii) shares of LBTYK.
The Paying Agent in connection with the redemption is The Bank of New York Mellon, which is also acting as the Conversion Agent. The transfer agent for LBTYA and LBTYK is Computershare.
