    ·          Over-allotment option of up to an additional ca. 3 million ordinary

    Ziggo N.V. ("Ziggo") hereby announces that its major shareholders, Cinven Cable
    Investments S.à r.l. and WP Holdings IV B.V. (respectively "Cinven" and "Warburg
    Pincus") have last night (24 October 2012) announced an offering of ca. 25
    million existing Ziggo N.V. shares owned by them and certain of their co-
    investors (the "Offering"), with an over-allotment option of up to an additional
    ca. 2 million shares and have later last night due to strong investor demand
    announced an upsizing of the Offering to ca. 37 million shares with an over-
    allotment option of up to an additional ca. 3 million shares.

    The revised offer size is equivalent to 18.5% of Ziggo´s ordinary share capital,
    excluding the over-allotment option.

    The current direct combined ownership interest of Cinven, Warburg Pincus and
    their co-investors is 114.2 million shares, representing 57.1% of Ziggo´s
    ordinary share capital. After the completion of the transaction, assuming no
    exercise of the over-allotment option, Cinven, Warburg Pincus and their co-
    investors will own a combined 77.2 million shares in Ziggo, representing
    approximately 38.6% of the capital.

    The shares offered in the Offering will be placed in an accelerated private
    placement to international and Dutch institutional investors on a Reg S basis,
    and to US QIBs on a 144A basis. The price per share and the final number of
    shares sold will be determined on completion of the bookbuilding.

    In order to launch the Offering, Cinven, Warburg Pincus and their co-investors
    have received a waiver of the current lock-up commitment, which was due to
    expire next week, 1 November 2012. Cinven, Warburg Pincus and their co-investors
    have agreed not to dispose of any further Ziggo shares for 90 days following the
    completion of this Offering, subject to the customary exceptions.
