Liberty Global Announces Its Intention to Proceed with the Offer for Telenet at €35.00 Per Share While Removing the 95 …

Posted on by

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Liberty Global, Inc. (Liberty Global) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK) is announcing today a number of decisions relating to its intended voluntary and conditional cash offer for the outstanding shares of Telenet Group Holding NV (Telenet) (Euronext Brussels: TNET) that it does not own or that are not held by Telenet, as announced on September 19, 2012 (the Intended Offer).

Liberty Global confirms that it intends to proceed with the Intended Offer based on a price of 35.00 (the Offer Price) per ordinary share of Telenet, and it has decided to remove the 95% minimum acceptance condition of the Intended Offer.

Liberty Global considers the Offer Price to be highly attractive for Telenet shareholders and intends to proceed with the Intended Offer as soon as practically possible, irrespective of the recommendation expressed by the independent directors of Telenet.

Liberty Global has serious reservations regarding the long-term business plan assumptions that were used in the valuation report prepared by Lazard SPRL (Lazard), the independent expert pursuant to the Intended Offer. Liberty Global believes that these assumptions form a speculative plan that cannot be reasonably achieved or implemented. In particular, Liberty Global notes that the updated assumptions:

i) were revised by Telenets management after Liberty Globals announcement of the Intended Offer and were not discussed with the board of Telenet ahead of its distribution to Lazard;

ii) are neither supported nor vetted by the board members of Telenet appointed by Liberty Global, which is inconsistent with the historical practice of Telenet; and

iii) include a material upward revision coming from the long-term contribution of mobile services to Telenet that Liberty Global views as being unachievable given the aggressive expectations of market share gains.

Liberty Global has expressed these reservations to Telenets management team, the independent board members of Telenet and Lazard.

In addition to the reservations regarding the operating assumptions mentioned above, Liberty Global, which has been advised by Morgan Stanley, believes that the Lazard report contains certain analyses and valuation methodologies that are not appropriate for the evaluation of the Intended Offer. Liberty Global intends to provide further details with regard to its views on the Lazard report and the long-term assumptions in the prospectus (which will include the final independent expert report) to be filed with the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (the FSMA).

Bill Nye vs Penn Jillette (Arguing Endorsing Obama 2012 libertarianism politics )
Libertarian Penn Jillette debates the Science Guy Bill Nye on his weekly podcast, "Penn #39;s Sunday School". Bill was on to discuss the fake article that had him blasting Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin. These are three clips from an interview that lasted over an hour. The majority of the time, they keep things light and cordial. It was durring these three exchanges, that the tone and atmosphere became slightly (Very slight, these guys are so cool and nice) awkward. The last three minutes is the most "heated" the debate got. I #39;m a huge fan of Penn, and while I #39;m probably more inclined to agree with Bill on the issues they discussed, Penn does have me questioning if maybe we should just let things get worked out over the long term, even if in the short term there could be less then optimal consequences. The one point that I don #39;t quite understand, is when Penn brings up Martin Luther King 8:54. Isn #39;t that a case where the Federal government came in and imposed restrictions on racist people #39;s freedoms? Isn #39;t this Bill #39;s point, that Libertarian principles only work if EVERYONE starts from the same starting line, which obviously is not the case. I wish they had debated longer and really got into it, but they #39;re not politicians, and did not appear to want to engage in anything too heavy. Good for them, too bad for me.From:BackfirePicturesViews:416 4ratingsTime:10:06More inNews Politics

Antiwar Radio 11/04/2008: Scott Horton Interviews Lew Rockwell
Lew Rockwell, president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and proprietor of LewRockwell.com, discusses how voting propagates the myth of a representative participatory democracy, the virtue of not voting, the continuation of election fraud from ballot stuffing to computerized tampering, voting as sacrament to the state religion, why imposing higher thresholds of voting eligibility would be an improvement and how Ron Paul #39;s prescience about the economy and his widely heard public criticism of the Federal Reserve has more than compensated for the blame free markets, and by extension libertarianism, are getting for the financial crisis. Lew Rockwell is the founder and President of the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, Vice President of the Center for Libertarian Studies in Burlingame, California, and publisher of the political Web site LewRockwell.com. He served as Ron Paul #39;s congressional chief of staff between 1978 and 1982.

Libertarians belief that freedom only applies to those that can dictate.
I had to cut the video short for time limit. But I want to delve into about how Alex Jones and other conspiracy nuts who claim libertarianism, fail to make the connection all mass conspiracies come back to private ownership abuses. If the banks are privatized, the political system is privatized, the arms trade and war machine is privatized... how is this communism/socialism #39;s fault?From:JimProfitBolshevikViews:27 4ratingsTime:08:32More inPeople Blogs

What is Libertarianism from a psychological standpoint? (Te vs Ti) – Video

What is Libertarianism from a psychological standpoint? (Te vs Ti)
This video sort of explain what Libertarianism is from a psychological standpoint. I was comparing 2 videos: Marcus Silva made a video (which ended up being mostly his emotional opinions and projection toward the end) at this link: http://www.youtube.com While this video was a response from PheonixFlag1776: http://www.youtube.com Marcus Silva values what is known as "objective logic." If it isn #39;t based on what has been tried and true, it shouldn #39;t be trusted. PheonixFlag1776 values what is known as "subjective logic" which is not grounded in tried and true facts, only facts that are based upon other facts. Both values are equally valid however one cannot be valid without the other. To my psychology followers, Marcus Silva is using Extroverted Thinking, while PheonixFlag1776 is using Introverted Thinking, although Marcus Silva #39;s Extroverted Thinking is less powerful than PheonixFlag1776 #39;s Introverted Thinking because Marcus Silva keeps getting lazy and slips into subjective value judgements (name calling). So from a Te user #39;s perspective, most Ti user #39;s look like raving cultists and lunatics, and Ti users think that Te users simply "don #39;t get it."From:EJArendeeViews:59 1ratingsTime:08:50More inNews Politics

Can the principles behind the internet solve our problems?
