A Class A Position
The Goldman Sachs Group and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC each reported the same 6.3% position. Those figures describe each reporting entity's beneficial ownership and should not be added together as separate stakes.
Both entities reported shared voting power over 11,213,836.62 shares and zero sole voting power. The ownership percentage applies to Liberty Global's Class A shares, rather than to all of the company's share classes.
Goldman certified that it obtained and holds the securities as part of ordinary business activity, with neither the purpose nor the effect of changing or influencing Liberty Global's control.
Broadband Ventures Across Europe
Liberty Global's business includes joint ventures alongside its subsidiaries. VMO2 operates in the U.K. and licenses the Virgin brand, while VodafoneZiggo operates in the Netherlands. Liberty Global also has an interest in the nexfibre joint venture.
Its subsidiaries and ventures serve consumers, and the company holds a controlling interest in Formula E. Its Class A shares trade on Nasdaq under LBTYA.
