8% Senior Notes due 2018

The 1,208.85 million 8% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Notes") will be issued by Ziggo Bond Company B.V.
(the "Issuer"). The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on each May 15 and November 15, commencing
November 15, 2010. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2018. Some or all of the Notes may be redeemed prior to
May 15, 2014 by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus a "make-whole" premium and at any time on
or after May 15, 2014 at the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum. In addition, at any time on or prior
to May 15, 2013, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be redeemed with the net proceeds of
certain equity offerings, if at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains
outstanding. All of the Notes may also be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest upon the
occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, each holder
of the Notes may require the Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of its Notes.
The Notes will be senior obligations of the Issuer and will be guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of
its subsidiaries. The Notes will be secured on a first-ranking basis by pledges over all of the shares of Amsterdamse
Beheer- en Consultingmaatschappij B.V. ("ABC B.V."), the direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and over the
Issuer's rights under a loan to ABC B.V. representing the proceeds of the offering of the Notes.
This offering memorandum includes information on the terms of the Notes and guarantees, including
redemption and repurchase prices, security, covenants and transfer restrictions.
Application has been made to list the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for
trading on the Euro MTF market.
Investing in the Notes involves risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 20 of this
offering memorandum.

Price: 99.271%
The Notes and the guarantees have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Unless they are registered, the Notes may be
offered only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any

NOTICE TO CERTAIN EUROPEAN INVESTORS
European Economic Area. This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of the
Notes will be made pursuant to an exemption under Article 3 of Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Directive"), as
implemented in Member States of the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), from the requirement to produce a
prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the
iii

Notes should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or any of the initial purchasers to publish a
prospectus for such offer. Neither we nor the initial purchasers have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any
offer of Notes through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the initial purchasers, which constitute the
final placement of the Notes contemplated in this offering memorandum.
In relation to each Member State of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
"Relevant Member State"), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in
that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date"), an offer to the public of any Notes which are the
subject of the offering contemplated by this offering memorandum is not being made, will not be made and may not be
made in that Relevant Member State other than:
(a)
to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not
so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;
(b)
to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in
Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive);
(c)
to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during
the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than 43,000,000; and (3) an annual net turnover of
more than 50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts; or
(d)
in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive provided
that no such offer of the Notes shall require the Issuer or the initial purchasers to publish a prospectus pursuant
to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of notes to the public" in relation to the Notes in any
Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms
of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the
same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that
Relevant Member State and the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any
relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
Each subscriber for or purchaser of the Notes in the offering located within a Member State of the EEA will be
deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a "qualified investor" within the meaning of
Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. The Issuer, the initial purchasers and their affiliates, and others will rely upon
the trust and accuracy of the foregoing representation, acknowledgement and agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a
person who is not a qualified investor and who has notified the initial purchasers of such fact in writing may, with the
consent of the initial purchasers, be permitted to subscribe for or purchase the Notes in this Offering.
Austria. The Notes may be offered and sold in the Republic of Austria only in compliance with the Capital
Markets Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz) as amended and applicable European Union legislation. This offering memorandum

the Notes will only be made in France to providers of investment services relating to portfolio management for the
account of third parties (personnes fournissant le service d'investissement de gestion deportefeuillepour le compte de
tiers) and/or to qualified investors (investisseurs qualifiés) and/or to a closed circle of investors (cercle restreint
a'investisseurs) acting for their own accounts, as defined in and in accordance with Articles L. 411-2 and D. 411-1 of the

offering memorandum has not been approved under the German Securities Prospectus Act (Wertpapierprospektgesetz) or
the Directive 2003/71/EC and accordingly the Notes may not be offered publicly in Germany.

Republic of Italy. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered or sold directly or indirectly in the Republic of Italy, and
iv

requirements, in accordance with the Luxembourg Act of July 10, 2005 on prospectuses for securities. This offering
memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of such Act.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND
OTHER INFORMATION AND CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
Presentation of Financial Information
Financial statements presented
The Issuer was incorporated on March 30, 2010 for the purpose of the offering of the Notes. Consequently,
limited historical financial information relating to the Issuer is available, and the financial information included in this
offering memorandum with respect to the Issuer consists only of the audited statement of financial position of the Issuer
as of March 31, 2010, which has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the European Commission for use in the European Union, or IFRS. The Issuer acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of ABC B.V. on March 30, 2010. The Issuer changed its name from Zesko Bond Company B.V. to
Ziggo Bond Company B.V. on April 22, 2010.
Because of the limited historical financial information available for the Issuer, we have included and primarily
discussed in this offering memorandum the audited consolidated historical financial statements of ABC B.V. as of and
for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009. Accordingly, all references to "we", "us" or "our" in respect of
historical financial information in this offering memorandum are to ABC B.V. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis. The audited consolidated financial statements of ABC B.V. included herein and the accompanying notes thereto
have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other financial measures
In this offering memorandum we refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as operating
income plus depreciation and amortization as included in the consolidated income statement in our financial statements
included elsewhere in this offering memorandum. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA as adjusted to remove the effects
of operating expenses incurred in connection with the integration of our predecessor businesses. We do not expect to
incur operating expenses in connection with the integration of our predecessor businesses in 2011 or beyond.
Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor's understanding of our
underlying financial performance.
