Liberty Global is to create a new UK plc as part of its $23.3billion (€17.23 billion) acquisition of Virgin Media.
and
Quote:
As part of the acquisition, Liberty Global will redomicile from Delaware to the UK by becoming a subsidiary of a new holding company, a UK plc. Liberty Global’s current headquarters and other principal offices will remain in place
and

Liberty Global will be listed on NASDAQ and the existing board will continue to run the company with the addition of one Virgin Media director. A European listing is also under consideration.
