Mechelen, February 10, 2022 –Telenet Group Holding NV (“Telenet” or the “Company”) (Euronext Brussels: TNET) announces that its board of directors has decided to propose to the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting in April 2022 to approve the payment of a gross dividend of €1.375 per share (€149.4 million in total^[1]). The proposed dividend will be paid using existing cash and cash equivalents and complements the intermediate gross dividend of €1.375 per share, paid in December 2021. Together they comprise the gross dividend floor of €2.75 per share. As such, it is an integral part of the Company’s shareholder remuneration policy, as detailed during the December 2018 Capital Markets Day and as tightened in October 2020.[MI1] ​ If and when approved, the dividend will be paid on May 4, 2022, with the Telenet shares trading ex-dividend on Euronext Brussels as of May 2, 2022.

In the absence of any material acquisitions and/or significant changes in our business or regulatory environment, we intended to maintain Net Total Debt to Consolidated Annualized Adjusted EBITDA ("net total leverage") around the 4.0x mid-point through an attractive and sustainable level of shareholder disbursements. This includes a fixed dividend per share floor of €2.75 (gross), as mentioned above. The remainder of our Adjusted Free Cash Flow may still be considered for accretive acquisitions, extraordinary dividends, incremental share buy-backs, deleveraging or a combination thereof.
