DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES:
Liberty Global plc (the “ Company ”) hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-189223) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2013 (the “ Registration Statement ”), with respect to the class A ordinary shares, nominal value $.01 per share, of the Company and the class C ordinary shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, of the Company (together, the “ Ordinary Shares ”) that were issuable pursuant to the Liberty Puerto Rico 401(k) Savings Plan, formerly known as the Liberty Global 401(k) Savings Plan - Puerto Rico (the “ Plan ”), and corresponding plan interests in the Plan.
On December 29, 2017, the Company effected the split-off (the “ Split-Off ”) of its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Latin America Ltd. As a result of the Split-Off, the participants in the Plan are no longer employees of the Company and the Company is no longer issuing securities under the Plan.    

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to deregister all of the Ordinary Shares and related plan interests that remain unsold pursuant to the Plan, as registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. Although the Ordinary Shares and related plan interests under the Plan are being deregistered, this Amendment No. 1 shall not serve to reduce the number of Ordinary Shares or plan interests registered or subject to issuance under the Registration Statement under the other plans listed therein.
