Ziggo ('Ziggo' or the 'Company'), the largest cable operator in the Netherlands, today announced the successful pricing of its €750 million senior secured notes due 2020 (the 'Notes'). The Notes will be issued by Ziggo B.V.. They will have a coupon of 3.625% per annum and will be issued at a price equal to 99.8% of their face value to yield 3.658% per annum. As a result, the Term
Loan A under our new Credit Facility will be reduced from €400mn to €150mn and the Revolving Credit Facility will consist of the earlier announced €400mn.

The net proceeds, in combination with the proceeds of the new credit facility, will be used to repay outstanding amounts under the Company's existing Senior Credit Facility. This refinancing will lead to reduced financing costs for the Company as well as an extension of the debt maturity.
