Answer to Question 12 — Section 63.18(h) — Interlocking Directorates Liberty Global does not have any interlocking directorates with foreign carriers.

FCC FORM214TC Attachment 1 Answer to Question 13 — Background and Description of Transaction On November 6, 2014, Columbus International, Inc. ("CII"), and C&W entered into an agreement pursuant to which C&W would acquire 100 percent of the shares of CII. CII and C&wW jointly filed an application seeking Commission consent to the transfer of control of the Licensees from Columbus Networks, Limited ("CNL"), an indirect, wholly—owned subsidiary of CIH, to C&W. See File No. ITC—T/C—20141121—00304; ITC—T/C—20141121—00307, filed Nov. 21, 2014 ("Joint Application"). The Joint Application stated that the CII/C&W transaction likely would occur in a two—step process. In the first step, the shares held by CNL in the Licensees would be transferred in a pro forma transaction to a newly—formed company, Columbus, owned by the ultimate majority owners and controlling parties of CII. In the second step, ownership and control of Columbus and the Licensees would be transferred to C&W following Commission approval of the Joint Application and related transfer of control applications. Consistent with the Joint Application, the first step pro forma transaction was completed on March 31, 2015. By Order dated November 13, 2015, the Commission approved the transfer of control of the Licensees from Columbus to C&W.° | As noted above, on November 16, 2015, Liberty Global and C&W jointly announced a recommended offer pursuant to which Liberty Global would acquire 100 percent of the issued and to be issued shares of C&W, subject to all required regulatory and corporate approvals. Thus, in light of the Transaction between Liberty Global & C&W, the second step of the CII/C&W transaction described in the Joint Application is not currently expected to occur.° Columbus and Liberty Global 4 See Notification of Pro Forma Transfer and Minor Amendment to Applications, File Nos. SCL—T/C— 20141121—00013; SCL—T/C—20141121—00014; TTC—T/C—20141121—00304; ITC—T/C—20141121—00307, filed April 14, 2015 (the "Pro Forma Notification"). As described in the Joint Application and Pro Forna Notification, two indirect subsidiaries of CIH acquired by C&W in the first step entered into intercompany management agreements to provide day—to—day management services for the benefit of the Licensees. However, Columbus and the Licensees retain ultimate authority and control over all regulated aspects of the U.S. business, including having appropriate staff in place to oversee and supervise the provision of management services by the relevant C&W entities. 5 iSee Applications of Cable & Wireless Communications ple and Columbus New Cayman Limited for Transfer of Control of Cable Landing Licenses and Section 214 Authorizations, Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA 15—307 (LB. rel. Nov. 13, 2015) ("Columbus Approval Order"). 6 The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, securing shareholder approval and obtaining Commission consent for the Transaction. If such conditions are not fulfilled, Columbus expects to consummate the second step of the CH/C&W transaction in accordance with the Columbus Approval Order.

FCC FORM214TC Attachment 1 therefore request approval of the transfer of control of the Licensees from Columbus to Liberty Global. Answer to Question 14 — Section 63.18({) — Certification Regarding Foreign Carrief Status and Foreign Affiliation Transferee, Liberty Global, certifies that it is not a foreign carrier. Following completion of the Transaction, Liberty Global will become affiliated with the following foreign dominant carriers, which are currently affiliated with C&W: Foreign Carrier Country Cable and Wireless (Anguilla) Limited Anguilla Cable & Wireless Antigua & Barbuda Limited Antigua and Barbuda The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited The Bahamas Cable & Wireless (Barbados) Limited Barbados Cable and Wireless (British Virgin Islands) Limited British Virgin Islands Cable and Wireless (Cayman Islands) Limited Cayman Islands Cable & Wireless Dominica Limited Dominica CWC Cable & Wireless Communications Dominican Republic SA Dominican Republic Cable & Wireless Grenada Limited Grenada Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited Jamaica Cable and Wireless (West Indies) Limited Montserrat Cable & Wireless Panama S.A.

Antigua & Barbuda 7 C&W is in the process of divesting its indirect 49% ownership interest in Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago Limited. 8 None of the carriers listed in this table is listed in the Commission‘s List of Foreign Telecommunications Carriers that are Presumed to Possess Market Power in Foreign Telecommunications Markets. In addition, these foreign carriers offer services in competition with dominant foreign carriers and others. These foreign carriers each hold significantly less than a 50% market share in the international transport market between the U.S. and their home markets in the local access markets in the countries where they operate. Moreover, these foreign carriers do not have the ability to discriminate against unaffiliated U.S. international carriers through the control of bottleneck services or facilities to exercise market power in the countries where they operate.

FCC FORM214TC Attachment 1 Answer to Question 16 — Section 63.18(m) — Requests for Non—Dominant Status Pursuant to Section 63.10(a)(3), upon completion of the Transaction, Transferee will qualify for a presumption of non—dominant status on all international routes except those listed below, because each of the Transferee‘s post—Transaction foreign carrier affiliates (except those listed below) lacks 50% market share in the fixed local access and international transport markets on the foreign end of the route. Answer to Question 17 — Certification Regarding Dominant Carrier Safeguards Transferee certifies that, following completion of the Transaction, it will comply with the dominant carrier safeguards of Sections 63.10(c) and (e) of the Commission‘s Rules in the provision of international services to the destination markets where it will become affiliated with a carrier (see response to Question 14) that has dominant status:" ©Destination Market Foreign Carriers with Market Power Anguilla Cable and Wireless (Anguilla) Limited Antigua and Barbuda Cable & Wireless (Antigua and Barbuda) Ltd.* Bahamas The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited* Barbados Cable & Wireless (Barbados) Ltd.* British Virgin Islands Cable & Wireless (British Virgin Islands) Ltd.* Cayman Islands ' Cable & Wireless (Cayman Islands ) Ltd.

FCC FORM214TC Attachment 1 Turks and Caicos Cable and Wireless (TCI) Ltd.* *An asterisk indicates that the name of the foreign carrier providing service has changed since the Foreign Carrier List was list compiled, or that a successor to that carrier is now providing service. Answer to Question 18 — Section 63.18(k) — Demonstration Regarding WTO Status and Market Power With the exception of the Bahamas"®and the Seychelles, all of the foreign desitination markets identified in Questions 15 are members of the World Trade Organization (“WTO”).11 The affiliated foreign carriers are presumed by the Commission to have market power." Answer to Question 19 — Section 63.18(1) [deleted] and 43.61(c) [deleted] This question and certification are obsolete given the deletion of related FCC rules provisions. Answer to Question 20 — Section 63.18(p) — Streamlined Processing Not applicable. 10 _ Although The Bahamas is not a member of the WTO, it has applied for membership status and its application is pending. The Bahamas currently holds observer status at the WTO. See http://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/acec_e/al_bahamas_e.htm. U The FCC has treated the British overseas territories as WTO Members. See, e.g., Letter from Robert E. Dalton, Assistant Legal Adviser for Treaty Affairs, United States Department of State, to Rebecca Arbogast, Chief, Telecommunications Division, International Bureau, Federal Communications Commission (Feb. 16, 2000), at 1, cited in In the Matter of Cable & Wireless USA, Inc., Order, Authorization and Certificate, File No. ITC—214—19990709—00412, rel. Feb. 18, 2000, at [ 7, a. 14. Thus, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat, and Turks and Caicos should be treated as a WTO Member for purposes of this application. 12 To avoid any competitive concerns, Cable & Wireless Communications, Inc. agreed to provide service to the Seychelles through unaffiliated switched resellers. See Supplement to Section 214 Application submitted by Cable & Wireless Holdings, Inc., File No. ITC—214—20100512—00191. 10
