defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words like “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,”
“intend,” “plan,” “will,” “expects,” “estimates,” “projects,” “positioned,” “strategy,” and similar expressions
identify these forward- looking statements, which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially

by these forward-looking statements. These factors, among others, include the following:
• the ability to compete with a range of other communications and content providers;
• the effect of rapid and significant technological changes on our businesses;
• the effect of a decline in fixed line telephony usage and revenues;
• the ability to maintain and upgrade our networks in a cost-effective and timely manner;
• possible losses of revenues or customers due to systems failures;
• the ability to control unauthorized access to our network;
• our reliance on third-party suppliers and contractors to provide necessary hardware, software or
operational support;
• our reliance on our use of the “Virgin” name and logo and any adverse publicity generated by other
users of the Virgin name and logo;
• the ability to manage customer churn;
• the ability to provide attractive programming at a reasonable cost;
• general economic conditions;
• the ability to implement our restructuring plan successfully and realize the anticipated benefits;
• currency and interest rate fluctuations;
• our reliance on third parties to distribute our mobile telephony products;
• the functionality or market acceptance of new products;
• tax risks;
• our reliance on Everything Everywhere to carry our mobile voice and non-voice services;
• the ability to effectively manage complaints, litigation and adverse publicity;
• our ability to retain key personnel;
• changes in laws, regulations or governmental policy;
• capacity limits on our network;
• the ability to fund debt service obligations and refinance our debt obligations;
• the ability to comply with restrictive covenants in our indebtedness agreements; and
• Virgin Media’s dependence on cash flow from subsidiaries.
These and other factors are discussed in more detail under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual
report on Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect actual results,
changes in assumptions or changes in factors affecting these statements.
