  ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN APPROACH TO LIBERTY PLC IN RELATION TO A POSSIBLE OFFER 
 
Further to the Rule 2.4 announcement made today in relation to a possible offer 
by BlueGem Capital Partners LLP ("BlueGem") at an aggregate price of 186 pence 
per Liberty ordinary share, Liberty announces that it had, on 6 May 2010, also 
received an approach in relation to a possible offer from a third-party (the 
"Other Party"), unconnected with BlueGem. 
 
This possible offer was for 185 pence per Liberty ordinary share in aggregate 
(the "Other Possible Offer") and comprised a mixture of a cash offer for the 
ordinary shares of Liberty and a special dividend payable to the Liberty 
ordinary shareholders. After due and careful consideration, the Other Possible 
Offer was rejected by the board of Liberty. 
 
This announcement is being made without the consent of the Other Party. There 
can therefore be no certainty that an offer will be made by the Other Party nor 
to the terms on which such an offer would be made.

Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code (the "Code") 
 
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any 
class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any paper offeror 
(being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been 
announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an 
Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, 
if later, following the announcement in which any paper offeror is first 
identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's 
interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant 
securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper offeror(s). An 
Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made 
by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the 
commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm 
(London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any 
paper offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant 
securities of the offeree company or of a paper offeror prior to the deadline 
for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing 
Disclosure. 
 
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% 
or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any 
paper offeror, must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any 
relevant securities of the offeree company or of any paper offeror. A Dealing 
Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's 
interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant 
securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any paper offeror, save 
to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A 
Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no 
later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the 
relevant dealing. 
 
If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, 
whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant 
securities of an offeree company or a paper offeror, they will be deemed to be a 
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. 
 
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any 
offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any 
offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 
8.2 and 8.4). Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose 
relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be 
made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant 
securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was 
first identified. If you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make 
an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure, you should contact the 
Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129.
