On October 22, 2025, Liberty Global sold half of its stake in ITV PLC, a UK broadcaster, for approximately £135 million. This transaction involved the sale of 193,365,540 shares, reducing Liberty Global's ownership from 10% to 5%.
The divestiture comes after Liberty Global held a stake in ITV for just over a decade. The company had increased its position to 10% in the summer of 2015, at which time it described ITV as a well-run company with attractive growth potential.
This sale generates cash proceeds that can be reallocated to strategic investments or shareholder returns, consistent with Liberty Global's stated capital allocation priorities. The company has committed not to sell further shares for at least two months.
