I have tremendous confidence in Balan Nair’s leadership as well as the world-class board of directors and management teamwe have put in place. As Liberty Latin America charts its own course going forward, it will continue to benefit from its Liberty Global heritage and will have access to key shared services and expertise across products, technology, procurement and more. The launch of Liberty Latin America is an exciting moment for all shareholders and a clear confirmation of the opportunity for value creation in the Latin American and Caribbean region.

Balan Nair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Latin America,stated, “Today marks an important milestone for Liberty Latin America as we begin the path forward as an independent company focused squarely on the region. I see tremendous opportunity to bring world-class technology, innovation and scale to our operations, expand our network coverage, and deploy exciting new service offerings to our residential and business customers. In a region that is currently served by a highly fragmented range of operators and with customer penetration rates roughly half of more mature markets, we see significant prospects for long-term growth both organically as well as through strategic M&A.”
