Liberty Global Announces Preliminary Results of Dutch Auction Self-Tender Offers for Shares of Its Series A Common Stock and Series C Common Stock

DENVER, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Liberty Global, Inc. ("Liberty Global") (NASDAQ:LBTYA)(NASDAQ:LBTYB)(NASDAQ:LBTYK) announced today the expiration of its modified dutch auction self-tender offers to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of its Series A common stock and up to 20,534,000 shares of its Series C common stock. Both tender offers expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on September 8, 2006. Based on the preliminary tabulation by the depositary, both tender offers were oversubscribed and the purchase price for the Series A tender offer is $25.00 per share and the Series C tender offer is $24.35 per share. The purchase prices for the Series A and Series C tender offers, which are preliminary and subject to verification as described below, represent the maximum of the respective tender offer price ranges, which were $22.00-$25.00 for the Series A tender offer and $21.43-$24.35 for the Series C tender offer.

Because each tender offer was oversubscribed, the number of shares of Series A common stock and Series C common stock that Liberty Global will purchase from each stockholder that tendered Series A shares or Series C common stock, as applicable, at or below the applicable purchase price for that tender offer will be pro-rated, subject to the odd-lot and conditional tender provisions of each tender offer. After the depositary verifies the actual number of Series A shares and Series C shares, as applicable, validly tendered and not withdrawn, including Series A shares and Series C shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures, and the purchase price at which such Series A shares and Series C shares were tendered, Liberty Global will promptly announce the actual number of Series A shares and Series C shares tendered and not withdrawn, the proration factor applicable to each tender offer and the purchase price for Series A shares and Series C shares properly tendered and not withdrawn. Promptly after such announcement, the depositary will issue payment for the Series A shares and Series C shares validly tendered and accepted for purchase under the Series A tender offer or Series C tender offer, as applicable, and will return all other Series A shares and Series C shares tendered. It is currently expected that the final proration factor and the final purchase price, in each case, applicable for each tender offer, will be announced on or about September 14, 2006 and that payment for all Series A shares and Series C shares purchased will be made promptly thereafter.

The information agent for the tender offers is D. F. King & Co., Inc. The depositary is Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc. For questions and information please contact the information agent toll free at (800) 347-4750.
