SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP is investigating whether
members of the board of directors of Virgin Media, Inc. (NasdaqGS: VMED)
breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed acquisition by
Liberty Global, Inc.

On February 5, 2013, Liberty Global announced that it had entered into a
definitive merger agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of VMED in a stock
and cash transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Virgin Media
shareholders will receive $17.50 in cash, 0.2582 Liberty Global Series A shares
and 0.1928 Liberty Global Series C shares for each Virgin Media share that they
hold. Based on Liberty Global`s Series A share price of $69.46 and Series C
share price of $64.50 as of February 4, 2013, this implies a price of $47.87 per
Virgin Media share; based upon the closing price on February 4, 2013.

The investigation will determine whether Virgin Media`s board of directors
breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to satisfactorily
shop the company before entering into this agreement. Jim Baker, lead analyst
for Johnson & Weaver, stated that, "Liberty Global`s offer appears to be
inadequate and not in the best interest of Virgin Media`s shareholders." In
particular, Baker noted that Virgin Media`s results over recent years have
demonstrated their ability to grow revenue, control costs, and generate cash.
