SCL-T/C-20180227-00003 E CWC New Cayman Limited Transfer of Control Grant of Authority Date of Action: 04/25/2018 Current Licensee: CWC New Cayman Limited FROM: Liberty Global plc TO: Liberty Latin America Ltd. Notification filed February 27, 2018, of the pro forma transfer of control of CWC New Cayman Limited (CWC New Cayman), a licensee for the Gemini-Bermuda cable system (Gemini-Bermuda Cable), SCL-LIC-20070925-00017, from Liberty Global plc (Liberty Global) to Liberty Latin America Ltd. (Liberty Latin America), effective December 29, 2017. The Gemini-Bermuda cable is a non-common carrier fiber-optic cable system linking the continental United States to Bermuda. CWC New Cayman, a Cayman Islands company, owns, operates and maintains the portion of the Gemini Bermuda System from the U.S. territorial waters to Bermuda, and also owns all capacity of the system. Prior to the transaction, CWC New Cayman was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global, a publicly-traded company organized under the laws of England and Wales. Liberty Latin America was also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global. Liberty Global's shares were divided into two tracking groups, both of which are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange: (1) Liberty Global Group which primarily tracks Liberty Global's European operations, and (2) the LiLAC Group, which primarily tracked Liberty Global's Latin American and Caribbean operations. On December 27, 2017, Liberty Global spun off the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the LiLAC Group to Liberty Latin America. Consequently, CWC New Cayman is now indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Latin America. Liberty Global no longer has an ownership interest in Liberty Latin America or CWC New Cayman. As a result of the spin-off transaction the shares of Liberty Latin America are owned by the previous holders of the LiLAC Group tracking stock. The same shareholders that controlled Liberty Global controlled Liberty Latin America following the spin-off transaction. SCL-T/C-20180227-00004 E ARCOS-1 USA, Inc.
