Step 1– Adjust Cost of Original Stock The cost basis of each L share you bought for $15.73 now becomes $13.16 ($15.73 x 83.63764%) Purchase Price * Cost Basis = New Price $15.73 * 83.63764 = New Price Don’t forget to convert cost basis from percent to decimal $15.73 * 0.8363764 = $13.16 DateTransactionCash Invested FeesNet Investment Purchase Price # of Shares 18 Jul 01Initial Cash Investment $550.55$12.00$562.55 $15.73 35.0 21 Feb 02 Cash Investment $302.50$14.95$317.45$12.10 25.0 18 Oct 02 Cash Investment $482.40$17.97$500.35$8.04 60.0 Adjusted Price $13.16 $10.12 $6.72

Step 3 – Determine the Number of Shares of the New Stock This will be seen in your brokerage statement but can also be derived. Remember… For each share of L you receive 0.05 shares of the new LBTYA Original Shares * Share Basis = Shares of New Stock 120 * 0.05 = 6

Step 4 – Use Cost Basis to Complete Table DateTransactionCash Invested FeesNet Investment Purchase Price # of Shares 18 Jul 01Initial Cash Investment $90.08$1.96$92.05 21 Feb 02 Cash Investment $49.50$2.45$51.94 18 Oct 02 Cash Investment $78.93$2.94$81.87 Use 16.3624% LBTYA as the factor to determine values ***Just like Step 2 *** Another way would also be to subtract the difference
15
Number of Shares –Taking 16.3624% of 120 shares = 19.6 shares –We have already said we have 6 shares of new stock Share Value - You need the cost basis to calculate the share price but keep in mind it’s only for 0.05 shares… See next slide Why Not Complete the Rest?
16
Step 5 – Determine Cost of Shares For 18 Jul 01, the basis in your 0.05 share of Lib is $2.57 ($15.73 x 16.3624%). So the value in one whole share of Lib Intl becomes $51.40 ($2.57 / 0.05 share). $2.57 X 0.05 sh 1 sh =
