ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
Charter Communications, Inc. (along with its subsidiaries, Charter) today announced that its subsidiaries, CCO Holdings, LLC and CCO Holdings
Capital Corp. (collectively, the Issuers), intend to offer $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the Notes, and the offering thereof, the Notes Offering). We intend to use
the net proceeds from this offering to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, including, to fund potential buybacks of Class A common stock of Charter or common units of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary
of Charter. The Notes will be sold to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The offering is subject to, among other things, market conditions.
This report is neither an
offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale, nor is it an offer to purchase, or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation, or sale is unlawful.
In connection with the Notes Offering, certain information is being provided to potential investors and is furnished
below.
On May 8, 2017, we announced an agreement with Comcast Corporation (Comcast) to, for one year, explore potential opportunities for
operational cooperation in our respective wireless businesses to accelerate and enhance each companys ability to participate in the national wireless marketplace. We and Comcast have each separately activated a mobile virtual network operator
(MVNO) reseller agreement with Verizon Wireless, and we have each agreed to explore working together in a number of potential operational areas in the wireless space, including: creating common operating platforms; technical standards
development and harmonization; device forward and reverse logistics; and emerging wireless technology platforms. The efficiencies created are expected to provide more choice, innovative products and competitive prices for customers in each of their
respective footprints. Additionally, the companies have agreed to work only together with respect to national mobile network operators, through potential commercial arrangements, including MVNOs and other material transactions in the wireless
industry, for a period of one year. We intend to consider and pursue opportunities in the wireless space which may include entering into joint ventures or partnerships with wireless or cable providers which may require significant investment in our
wireless business. There is no assurance we will enter into such arrangements or that if we do, that they will be successful.
Charter does not intend for
this Item 7.01 to be treated as filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or incorporated by reference into its filings under the Securities Act.
