Item 8.01 Other Events

In response to market conditions and other factors, the board of directors of Liberty Global Ltd. (the “Company”) has authorized management to effect share repurchases of its Class A and Class C common shares (the “Shares”) from time-to-time when management believes that the repurchases are consistent with the Company’s capital allocation priorities, taking into account prevailing market conditions, expected cash proceeds from transactions or operations, and other relevant factors. Pursuant to this authorization, the Company does not anticipate making more than $200 million in selective repurchases over the course of any twelve-month period. The Board may separately authorize additional share repurchase programs in the future.

Any repurchases of Shares may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or other transactions in accordance with authorization from the board of directors of the Company and applicable federal securities laws, including, where appropriate, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
