EXPLANATORY NOTE
These post-effective amendments (the “Post-Effective Amendments”) are being filed pursuant to Rule 414 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by Liberty Global Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares (“New Liberty” or the “registrant”), as the successor issuer to Liberty Global plc, a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Old Liberty”). Such succession occurred following the effectiveness, on November 23, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), of a United Kingdom court-approved scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”). Pursuant to the Scheme, each Class A ordinary share, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Old Liberty Class A Shares”), Class B ordinary share, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Old Liberty Class B Shares”), and Class C ordinary share, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Old Liberty Class C Shares”, and together with the Old Liberty Class A Shares and the Old Liberty Class B Shares, the “Old Liberty Shares”), in each case, of Old Liberty was exchanged for one share of the equivalent class of Class A common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “New Liberty Class A Shares”), Class B common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “New Liberty Class B Shares”), Class C common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “New Liberty Class C Shares”, and together with the New Liberty Class A Shares and the New Liberty Class B Shares, the “New Liberty Shares”), in each case, of New Liberty, which resulted in New Liberty becoming the holding company of Old Liberty, its subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures. The Old Liberty Shares were registered under the following registration statements on Form S-8 (together, the “Registration Statements”), but remain unissued or unsold under the Registration Statements, respectively:
1.Registration Statement No. 333-194578, registering 20,000,000 Old Liberty Class A Shares, 5,000,000 Old Liberty Class B Shares and 20,000,000 Old Liberty Class C Shares issuable under Old Liberty’s 2014 Incentive Plan (Effective March 1, 2014), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2014.
2.Registration Statement No. 333-194581, registering 1,000,000 Old Liberty Class A Shares, 500,000 Old Liberty Class B Shares and 1,000,000 Old Liberty Class C Shares issuable under Old Liberty’s 2014 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (Effective March 1, 2014) (the “Director Plan”), which was filed with the SEC on March 14, 2014.
3.Registration Statement No. 333-254168, registering 16,000,000 Old Liberty Class A Shares, 2,000,000 Old Liberty Class B Shares and 32,000,000 Old Liberty Class C Shares issuable under Old Liberty’s 2014 Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated effective June 11, 2019) (as may be amended and restated from time to time, the “2014 Incentive Plan”), which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2021.
4.Registration Statement No. 333-273218, registering 20,142,171 Old Liberty Class A Shares, 3,000,000 Old Liberty Class B Shares and 20,142,171 Old Liberty Class C Shares issuable under Old Liberty’s 2023 Incentive Plan (the “2023 Incentive Plan”), which was filed with the SEC on July 12, 2023.
In connection with the Scheme, New Liberty assumed Old Liberty’s obligations under each of the 2014 Incentive Plan, the Director Plan and the 2023 Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). As a result, New Liberty Shares shall be issuable under the Plans in lieu of Old Liberty Shares.
New Liberty expressly adopts the Registration Statements as its own registration statements for all purposes under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Registration fees were paid at the time of filing the Registration Statements.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following is only a general summary of certain aspects of Bermuda law and the registrant’s bye-laws (the “Bye-Laws”) that are related to the indemnification of directors and officers, and it does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Section 98 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the “Companies Act”) and of the Bye-Laws.
The Companies Act provides generally that a Bermuda company may exempt or indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, except in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company. Section 98 further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favor or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Companies Act.
Provisions in the Bye-Laws provide that New Liberty shall indemnify its officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. The Bye-Laws provide that the shareholders waive any claim or right of action that they have, both individually and on New Liberty’s behalf, against any director or officer in relation to any action or failure to take action by such director or officer, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of such director or officer. Section 98A of the Companies Act permits New Liberty to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer or director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, whether or not New Liberty may otherwise indemnify such officer or director.
The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Bye-Laws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
New Liberty expects to maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to New Liberty with respect to indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers.
New Liberty intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. These agreements will require New Liberty to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Bermuda law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to New Liberty, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, New Liberty has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to these Registration Statements:
(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statements (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statements; and
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statements or any material change to such information in the Registration Statements;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements.
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused these Post-Effective Amendments to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, on the 24th day of November 2023.

Dear Sirs
Re: Liberty Global Ltd. (the “Company”)
We have acted as special Bermuda legal counsel to the Company in connection with the post-effective amendments to the registration statements on form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-194578, 333-194581, 333-254168 and 333-273218) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 24, 2023 (the “Registration Statements”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) relating to the registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) of 20,000,000 Class A common shares, par value US$0.01 per share, 5,000,000 Class B common shares, par value US$0.01 per share and 20,000,000 Class C common shares, par value US$0.01 per share (the “2014 Original Incentive Plan Shares”), issuable pursuant to a Liberty Global 2014 Incentive Plan (Effective March 1, 2014), filed with the Commission on March 14, 2014 (the “2014 Original Incentive Plan”),16,000,000 Class A common shares, par value US$0.01 per share, 2,000,000 Class B common shares, par value US$0.01 per share and 32,000,000 Class C common shares, par value US$0.01 per share (the “2014 A&R Incentive Plan Shares”), issuable pursuant to a Liberty Global 2014 Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated effective June 11, 2019), filed with the Commission on March 11, 2021 (the “2014 A&R Incentive Plan”), 1,000,000 Class A common shares, par value US$0.01 per share, 500,000 Class B common shares, par value US$0.01 per share and 1,000,000 Class C common shares, par value US$0.01 per share (the “Director Plan Shares”), issuable pursuant to a Liberty Global 2014 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (Effective March 1, 2014), filed with the Commission on March 14, 2014 (the “Director Plan”) and 20,142,171 Class A common shares, par value US$0.01 per share, 3,000,000 Class B common shares, par value US$0.01 per share and 20,142,171 Class C common shares, par value US$0.01 per share (the “2023 Incentive Plan Shares” and together with the 2014 Original Incentive Plan Shares, 2014 A&R Incentive Plan Shares and Director Plan Shares, the “Common Shares”), issuable pursuant to a Liberty Global 2023 Incentive Plan, which was filed with the Commission on July 12, 2023 (the “2023 Incentive Plan” and together with the 2014 Original Incentive Plan Shares, 2014 A&R Incentive Plan and the Director Plan, the “Plans”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto).
1.DOCUMENTS REVIEWED
For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined electronic copies of the following documents:
1.1.the Registration Statements; and
1.2.the Plans.
We have also reviewed:
1.3.copies of the memorandum of association and the bye-laws of the Company, each certified by the Secretary of the Company on 21 November 2023;
1.4.copies of minutes of a meeting of its directors held on 21 November 2023 and written resolutions of its members dated 21 November 2023, (together, the “Resolutions”); and
1.5.such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.
2.ASSUMPTIONS
We have assumed:
2.1.the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) of all documents examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken;
2.2.that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed and/or filed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention;
2.3.the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Registration Statements, the Plans and other documents reviewed by us;
2.4.that the Resolutions were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings, or by unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force and effect and have not been rescinded or amended;
2.5.that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than Bermuda, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein;
2.6.the validity and binding effect under the laws of England and Wales of the Plans in accordance with their respective terms;
2.7.that there is no provision of any award agreement which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein;
2.8.that, upon the issue of any Common Shares, the Company will receive consideration for the full issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof; and
2.9.that on the date of issuance of any of the Common Shares the Company will have sufficient authorised but unissued common shares.
3.QUALIFICATIONS
3.1.We express no opinion with respect to the issuance of shares pursuant to any provision of the Plan that purports to obligate the Company to issue shares following the commencement of a winding up or liquidation.
3.2.We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda.
3.3.This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in Bermuda.
3.4.This opinion is issued solely for the purposes of the filing of the Registration Statements and the issuance of the Common Shares by the Company pursuant to the Plans and is not to be relied upon in respect of any other matter.
4.OPINION
On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
4.1.The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Bermuda in good standing (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority under the Companies Act 1981, or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda).
4.2.When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plans, the Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statements. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
