This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Schedule TO"), filed initially with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2003, by Europe Acquisition, Inc. ("Purchaser"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of UnitedGlobalCom, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("United"), relating to the offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange each outstanding share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "UGC Europe Shares"), of UGC Europe, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("UGC Europe"), not owned by United or its subsidiaries for 9.0 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "United Shares") of United, subject to certain terms and conditions.
On November 4, 2003, United issued a press release announcing the extension of the expiration date of the offer from 5:00 p.m., New York time, on Tuesday, November 4, 2003, to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on Friday, November 7, 2003.

Item 11. Additional Information.
Item 11(a)(5) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following:
"(a)(5) | Legal Proceedings. On or about October 8, 2003, a purported stockholder filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery purporting to commence a class action lawsuit on behalf of the public holders of UGC Europe's Class A common stock against us, certain of our affiliates and certain of our officers and directors. On October 21, 2003, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery. In general, the complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the exchange offer by making incomplete and misleading disclosures to the UGC Europe stockholders, and that the exchange offer is at an unfair price. Among the remedies demanded, the complaint seeks to enjoin the exchange offer and obtain declaratory relief, unspecified damages and rescission." |
