Explanation of Responses:
(1)	Pursuant to the Split-Off (as described in the Remarks section), all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Liberty Global plc's (the "Issuer") Class A LiLAC ordinary shares, Class B LiLAC ordinary shares and Class C LiLAC ordinary shares were redesignated as deferred shares (with virtually no economic rights) and those deferred shares were transferred for no consideration to a third-party designee. The Split-Off was exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(2)	Acquired in accordance with the terms of the Liberty Global 2014 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan for the equity portion of the fees paid to the Reporting Person for his services as a director. The number of shares was determined using the closing market price of the applicable class of ordinary shares on December 29, 2017.

Remarks:
On December 29, 2017, the Issuer effected the split-off of its wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Latin America Ltd. ("Splitco"), by distributing Splitco's common shares (the "distribution") to the holders of the Issuer's LiLAC Ordinary Shares. Immediately following the distribution, the LiLAC Ordinary Shares were redesignated as deferred shares (with virtually no economic rights) and those deferred shares were transferred for no consideration to a third-party designee (such transactions together with the distribution, the "Split-Off"). In the distribution, holders of LiLAC Ordinary Shares received one share of the same class of common shares of Splitco for each LiLAC Ordinary Share held by them at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 29, 2017. The trading symbols for the Issuer's classes of ordinary shares are LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK.
