Ziggo B.V.
E750,000,000
3.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2020
Ziggo B.V., incorporated as a private limited company under the laws of the Netherlands (the ``Issuer'') and indirectly owned 100%
by Amsterdamse Beheer- en Consultingmaatschappij B.V., incorporated as a private limited company under the laws of the
Netherlands (``ABC B.V.'') is offering A750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the
``Notes''). The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes annually on March 27 of each year, commencing on March 27, 2014. The Notes
will mature on March 27, 2020.
Some or all of the Notes may be redeemed on one or more occasions by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus a
``make-whole'' premium. All, but not less than all, of the Notes may also be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law. Upon the occurrence of certain change of
control events with respect to ABC B.V., each holder of the Notes may require the Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of its Notes
at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future
indebtedness of the Issuer that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and will be senior in right of payment to all
existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.
The Notes will be guaranteed (the ``Guarantees,'' and each, a ``Guarantee'') on a senior secured basis by ABC B.V., Torenspits
II B.V. and by the Issuer's subsidiaries Ziggo Netwerk B.V. and Ziggo Netwerk II B.V. (the ``Guarantors,'' and each, a ``Guarantor'').
The Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future indebtedness of such Guarantor that is not
subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantees and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of
such Guarantor that is subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantees.
The Notes will be secured, on a second-priority basis, by all assets that secure on a first-priority basis the obligations of the Issuer
and the Guarantors under Facility E (as defined herein) and certain hedging obligations. On the Issue Date, the security interests
will consist of the capital stock of the Issuer and each Guarantor (other than ABC B.V.) and certain property and assets (including
network assets) of the Issuer and the Guarantors, including certain real estate, bank accounts, intellectual property rights,
receivables and moveable and immovable assets. Pursuant to the terms of the Priority Agreement, the holders of the Notes and our
other secured creditors will share the proceeds of an enforcement of such collateral on a pari passu basis. For a description of the
terms of the Notes, please see ``Description of the Notes'' and for a description of the Priority Agreement, please see ``Description
of Other Indebtedness--Priority Agreement.''
Application has been made to list the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for admission to trading on
the Euro MTF market thereof.

Offering Memorandum.

We have not authorized any dealer, salesperson or other person to give any information or represent
anything to you other than the information contained in this Offering Memorandum. You must not rely on
unauthorized information or representations.
If you purchase the Notes, you will be deemed to have made certain acknowledgments, representations and
warranties as detailed under ``Notice to Investors.'' You may be required to bear the financial risks of an
investment in the Notes for an indefinite period. Neither we nor the Initial Purchasers are making an offer
to sell the Notes in any jurisdiction where the offer and sale of the Notes is prohibited. We are not making
any representation to you that the Notes are a legal investment for you. No action has been, or will be, taken
to permit a public offering in any jurisdiction where action would be required for that purpose.
The Issuer and the Initial Purchasers are offering to sell the Notes only in places where offers and sales are
permitted.
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OFFERING, GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL (THE
``STABILIZING MANAGER'') (OR ANY PERSON(S) ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE STABILIZING
MANAGER) MAY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OVER-ALLOT NOTES OR
EFFECT TRANSACTIONS WITH A VIEW TO SUPPORTING THE MARKET PRICE OF THE NOTES
AT A LEVEL HIGHER THAN THAT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVAIL. HOWEVER, THERE IS
NO ASSURANCE THAT THE STABILIZING MANAGER (OR ANY PERSON(S) ACTING ON BEHALF
OF THE STABILIZING MANAGER) WILL UNDERTAKE STABILIZATION ACTION. ANY
STABILIZATION ACTION MAY BEGIN ON OR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH ADEQUATE PUBLIC
DISCLOSURE OF THE FINAL TERMS OF THE OFFER OF THE NOTES IS MADE AND, IF BEGUN,
MAY BE ENDED AT ANY TIME, BUT MUST END NO LATER THAN THE EARLIER OF 30 CALENDAR
DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE DATE OF THE NOTES AND 60 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF
THE ALLOTMENT OF THE NOTES. ANY STABILIZATION ACTION OR OVER-ALLOTMENT MUST
BE CONDUCTED BY THE STABILIZING MANAGER (OR PERSON(S) ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE
STABILIZING MANAGER) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND RULES.
The Issuer is offering the Notes, and the Guarantors are issuing the Guarantees, in reliance on exemptions
from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. These exemptions apply to offers and sales
of securities that do not involve a public offering. The Notes have not been registered with, recommended
by or approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``SEC'') or any other securities
commission or regulatory authority, nor has the SEC or any such securities commission or authority passed
upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Offering Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense in the United States.
We have prepared this Offering Memorandum solely for use in connection with the offer of the Notes to
qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons
(within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) outside the United States under
Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. This Offering Memorandum may be used only for the
purposes for which it has been published. You agree that you will hold the information contained in this
Offering Memorandum and the transactions contemplated hereby in confidence. You may not distribute
this Offering Memorandum to any person, other than a person retained to advise you in connection with
the purchase of the Notes.
Each prospective purchaser of the Notes must comply with all applicable laws and rules and regulations in
force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers or sells the Notes and must obtain any consent,
approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the Notes under the laws and
regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes such purchases, offers or
sales, and neither we nor the Initial Purchasers shall have any responsibility therefor.
You are not to construe the contents of this Offering Memorandum as investment, legal or tax advice. You
should consult your own counsel, accountant and other advisers as to legal, tax, business, financial and
related aspects of a purchase of the Notes. You are responsible for making your own examination of us and
your own assessment of the merits and risks of investing in the Notes. We are not, and the Initial
Purchasers are not, making any representations to you regarding the legality of an investment in the Notes
by you.
The information contained in this Offering Memorandum has been furnished by us and other sources we
believe to be reliable. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or
liability is accepted by the Initial Purchasers as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information
ii


set out in this Offering Memorandum, and nothing contained in this Offering Memorandum is or shall be
relied upon as a promise or representation by the Initial Purchasers, whether as to the past or the future.
This Offering Memorandum contains summaries, believed to be accurate, of some of the terms of specified
documents, but reference is made to the actual documents, copies of which will be made available by us
upon request, for the complete information contained in those documents. Copies of such documents and
other information relating to the issuance of the Notes will also be available for inspection at the specified
offices of the Luxembourg Listing Agent (as defined below). All summaries of the documents contained
herein are qualified in their entirety by this reference. You agree to the foregoing by accepting this
Offering Memorandum.
We accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this Offering Memorandum. We
have made all reasonable inquiries and confirm to the best of our knowledge, information and belief that
the information contained in this Offering Memorandum with regard to us, our subsidiaries and affiliates
and the Notes is true and accurate in all material respects, that the opinions and intentions expressed in
this Offering Memorandum are honestly held and that we are not aware of any other acts the omission of
which would make this Offering Memorandum or any statement contained herein misleading in any
material respect.
No person is authorized in connection with any offering made pursuant to this Offering Memorandum to
give any information or to make any representation not contained in this Offering Memorandum, and, if
given or made, any other information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized
by us or the Initial Purchasers. The information contained in this Offering Memorandum is current at the
date hereof. Neither the delivery of this Offering Memorandum at any time nor any subsequent
commitment to enter into any financing shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there
has been no change in the information set out in this Offering Memorandum or in our affairs since the
date of this Offering Memorandum.
We reserve the right to withdraw the offering of the Notes at any time, and we and the Initial Purchasers
reserve the right to reject any commitment to subscribe for the Notes in whole or in part and to allot to you
less than the full amount of Notes subscribed for by you.
The Notes are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold
except as permitted under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction
pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Prospective purchasers should be aware that they may be
required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time. Please see ``Notice to
Investors'' and ``Plan of Distribution.''
We have applied for listing particulars to be approved by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for the
Notes to be admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Euro
MTF Market thereof. In connection with this listing application, we have submitted this Offering
Memorandum to be used as the base for such listing particulars. Although the listing particulars are likely
to contain substantially the same information as that contained in this Offering Memorandum, it is possible
that we may be required (under applicable law, rules, regulations or guidance applicable to the listing of
securities or otherwise) to make certain changes or additions to the financial and other information
included in this Offering Memorandum and, in particular, we may be required to include additional
information, including additional financial information, in respect of the Guarantors. We may also be
required to update the information in this Offering Memorandum to reflect changes in our business,
financial condition or results of operations and prospects. Following the listing, the relevant listing
particulars will be available at the offices of Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as Luxembourg listing agent
(the ``Luxembourg Listing Agent''). Any investor or potential investor in the European Economic Area
(the ``EEA'') should not base any investment decision relating to the Notes on the information contained in
this Offering Memorandum after publication of the listing particulars and should refer instead to those
listing particulars. This Offering Memorandum is an advertisement and not a prospectus for the purposes
of the Prospectus Directive.
We cannot guarantee that the application we have made to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange for the Notes to be listed and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF market thereof will be
approved as of the Issue Date for the Notes or at any time thereafter, and settlement of the Notes is not
conditioned on obtaining this admission to trading.

HAMPSHIRE CONSTITUTES A FINDING BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE THAT ANY
DOCUMENT FILED UNDER CHAPTER 421-B IS TRUE, COMPLETE AND NOT MISLEADING.
NEITHER ANY SUCH FACT NOR THE FACT THAT AN EXEMPTION OR EXCEPTION IS
AVAILABLE FOR A SECURITY OR A TRANSACTION MEANS THAT THE SECRETARY OF
STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS PASSED IN ANY WAY UPON THE MERITS OR
QUALIFICATIONS OF, OR RECOMMENDED OR GIVEN APPROVAL TO, ANY PERSON,

ANY PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER, CUSTOMER OR CLIENT ANY REPRESENTATION
INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
NOTICE TO EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA INVESTORS
This Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State
of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a ``Relevant
Member State'') will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the
requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to
make any offer in that Relevant Member State of Notes which are the subject of the placement
contemplated in this Offering Memorandum may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises
for the Issuer or the Initial Purchasers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor the Initial Purchasers have
authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of the Notes through any financial intermediary,
other than offers made by the Initial Purchasers, which constitute a final placement of the Notes.
In relation to each Relevant Member State, each Initial Purchaser has represented and agreed that, with
effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant
Member State, it has not made and will not make an offer of the Notes which are the subject of the
Offering contemplated by this Offering Memorandum to the public in that Relevant Member State except
that it may, with effect from and including the relevant implementation date, make an offer of such Notes
to the public in the Relevant Member State:
(a) at any time to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(b) at any time to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant
provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified
investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), subject to obtaining the prior consent of the
relevant Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or
(c) at any time in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of Notes referred to in (a) to (c) above shall require the Issuer or any
Initial Purchaser to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive, or
supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of the above, the expression an ``offer of notes to the public'' in relation to any 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 for the Notes, as such expression may be varied in the Relevant Member State by
any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State. For the purposes of
the above, the expression ``Prospectus Directive'' means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto,
including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State),
and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State; and the expression ``2010
PD Amending Directive'' means Directive 2010/73/EU.
Each subscriber for, or purchaser of, the Notes in this Offering located within a Relevant Member State
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
iv


affiliates and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation, acknowledgment
and agreement.

German Securities Prospectus Act. This Offering Memorandum and other offering materials relating to

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND
OTHER INFORMATION AND CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
Presentation of Financial Information
Financial statements presented
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, 2010, 2011 and
2012. 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 and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
We also present in this Offering Memorandum certain financial information on an as adjusted basis to give
pro forma effect to the Refinancing (as defined herein), including the issuance of the Notes offered hereby
and the application of the net proceeds thereof as described in ``Use of Proceeds.'' See ``The Offering--
Summary Financial and Operating Information'' and ``Capitalization.'' The unaudited pro forma data are
provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what our actual results of
operations or financial position would have been if this Offering had occurred on December 31, 2012. The
unaudited pro forma data set forth in this Offering Memorandum are based upon available information
and certain assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial
data have not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities
Act, the Prospectus Directive or any generally accepted accounting standards. Neither the assumptions
underlying the pro forma adjustments nor the resulting pro forma information have been audited or
reviewed in accordance with any generally accepted auditing standards.
Other financial measures and ratios
In this Offering Memorandum, we present certain financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA, operating free cash flow (``OPFCF''), adjusted net income, and certain leverage and coverage
ratios that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. Our management believes that the
presentation of these non-IFRS measures and ratios is helpful to investors because these and other similar
measures and ratios are widely used by certain investors, security analysts and other interested parties as
supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. However, you should not construe these non-IFRS
measures and ratios as alternatives to profit and loss from operations determined in accordance with IFRS
or to cash flows from operations, investing activities or financing activities, or any other measure or ratio
required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. In addition, our non-IFRS measures and ratios may
not be comparable to similarly-titled measures or ratios used by other companies.
In particular, our EBITDA-based measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider
them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results or any performance measures under IFRS as
set forth in our financial statements. Some of these limitations are:
·
They do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital commitments.
·
They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
·
They do not reflect the interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal
payments on our debt.
·
They do not reflect any cash income taxes that we may be required to pay.
·
They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our consolidated
income statement.
·
They do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from certain matters we consider not to
be indicative of our ongoing operations.
·
Assets are depreciated or amortized over differing estimated useful lives and often have to be
replaced in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such
replacements.
·
Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their
usefulness as comparative measures.
viii


As used in this Offering Memorandum, the following terms have the following meanings:
·
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.
·
We define ``Adjusted EBITDA'' as EBITDA as adjusted to remove the effects of operating expenses
incurred in connection with the integration of our predecessor businesses. We did not incur operating
expenses in connection with the integration of our predecessor businesses in 2011 or 2012, and
currently do not expect to incur such expenses in 2013.
·
We define ``operating free cash flow,'' or OPFCF, as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures
excluding integration capital expenditure and acquisition capital expenditure.
·
We define ``adjusted net income'' as net result adjusted for amortization of customer lists,
amortization of funding costs, impairments, costs related to integration and fair value gains or losses
from ineffective hedge contracts under IFRS and the tax effects of these adjustments.
Key performance indicators
In this Offering Memorandum, we also present various key performance indicators, including, among
others, ARPU, blended ARPU, churn, RGUs and subscribers. These measures may not be comparable to
similarly-titled measures presented by others in our industry. However, while the method of calculation
may differ across the industry, we believe that these indicators are helpful in understanding our
performance from period to period and facilitate comparison with our peers. These measures have been
presented on a consistent basis, with previous years' measures having been adjusted to reflect any changes
implemented by us in later years, and as such are directly comparable to each other from year-to-year.
These indicators are not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, any IFRS measures of
performance.
Rounding
Certain data in this Offering Memorandum, including financial, statistical and operating information, has
been rounded. As a result, the totals of certain data presented in this Offering Memorandum may vary
slightly from the actual arithmetic totals of such data. In addition, certain percentages have been rounded
and accordingly may not add up to 100%.

subsidiaries;
