(1) The average daily trading volume of its subject class of securities in the United States exceeded 5 percent of the average daily trading volume of that class of securities on a worldwide basis for the same recent 12-month period that the issuer used for purposes of Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i);

(2) Its subject class of securities was held of record by 300 or more United States residents or 300 or more persons worldwide, if proceeding under Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(ii) or Rule 12h-6(c); or

(3) It otherwise did not qualify for termination of its Exchange Act reporting obligations under Rule 12h-6.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Cable and Wireless Public Limited Company has caused this certification on Form 15F to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
