EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 amends the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of Liberty Latin America Ltd. (the “Registrant”) (Registration No. 333-221608), as amended prior to the date hereto (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2017.

At 5:00 p.m. New York City time, today (the “Distribution Date”) (i) Liberty Global plc (“Liberty Global”), the current parent company of the Registrant, will distribute to the holders of its LiLAC ordinary shares all of the Registrant’s common shares and (ii) immediately following the distribution, the LiLAC ordinary shares will be redesignated as deferred shares (with virtually no economic rights) and those deferred shares will be transferred for no consideration to a third-party designee, in each case, in accordance with the Liberty Global articles of association and applicable law (such transactions collectively, the “Split-Off”). Pursuant to the Split-Off, Liberty Global will distribute to holders of its LiLAC ordinary shares, as a dividend, (i) one Class A common share of the Registrant for each Class A LiLAC ordinary share, (ii) one Class B common share of the Registrant for each Class B LiLAC ordinary share and (iii) one Class C common share of the Registrant for each Class C LiLAC ordinary share, in each case, held by such holder as of the Distribution Date. As a result of the Split-Off, the Registrant will be separated from Liberty Global and become a separate publicly traded company.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed for the purposes of: (i) replacing Exhibit 2.1: Form of Reorganization Agreement by and between Liberty Global and the Registrant, previously filed with the Registration Statement, with a final, executed version of Exhibit 2.1; (ii) replacing Exhibit 8.1: Form of Opinion of Shearman & Sterling LLP regarding certain tax matters, previously filed with the Registration Statement, with a final, executed version of Exhibit 8.1; (iii) filing Exhibit 10.6: Form of Facilities Sharing Agreement between Liberty Global, Inc. and LiLAC Communications Inc.; (iv) filing Exhibit 10.7: Form of Sublease between Liberty Global, Inc. and LiLAC Communications Inc.; and (v) updating Item 16 of Part II of the Registration Statement.
