(\"Telenet International Finance\"), a subsidiary of Telenet Group Holding NV (\"Telenet\" or \"the Company\"), Telenet International Finance seeks to reprice and extend the maturity of certain tranches under its existing \u00802,930 million senior credit facility. At the same time, Telenet International Finance seeks to extend the revolving facility under its senior credit facility to December 31, 2016.</p> <p align=\"justify\" class=\"hugin\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm\"> </p> <p align=\"justify\" class=\"hugin\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm\">To this end, Telenet International Finance announced that it will start a voluntary exchange process for Term Loan G under its senior credit facility. Existing lenders in Term Loan G will have the opportunity to exchange their existing participations and commitments for participations and commitments in new Term Loans either with unchanged maturity at July 31, 2017 or with an extended maturity of two years (to July 31, 2019), in each case repriced in line with current market conditions.</p> <p align=\"justify\" class=\"hugin\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm\"> </p> <p align=\"justify\" class=\"hugin\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm\">This leverage-neutral transaction will further extend the average maturity profile of Telenet's debt and improve the stability of Telenet's debt capitalization by providing additional cash flow flexibility at very attractive market conditions.</p> <p align=\"justify\" class=\"hugin\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm\"> </p> <p align=\"justify\" class=\"hugin\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm\">As of March 31, 2011, Telenet carried a Net Total Debt ratio of 2.8x EBITDA.
