Global Crossing (UK) Finance Plc ("GCUK Finance") today announced that it

GCUK Finance offered to exchange 52 million Pounds Sterling of its 11.75

Notes are substantially identical to the Original Notes, except that the
Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and do not have
registration rights.

GCUK Finance reported that holders of 52,000,000 Pounds Sterling, or 100
percent, of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes
accepted the offer to exchange their notes as of the closing of the offer at
9:00 a.m. BST on Friday, September 21, 2007. GCUK Finance anticipates that
the new Exchange Notes will be issued on September 21, 2007.

The Common Code and ISIN numbers for the newly issued Exchange Notes are

unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of
said jurisdiction.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities
commission has approved or disapproved of the Exchange Notes to be issued in
the exchange offer or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the prospectus
used in connection with the exchange offer. Any representation to the
