Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
(e)
Material change to existing compensatory plans of certain
officers
(1) The
Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee")
and the Board of Directors of Charter Communications, Inc. (the "Company)
have
approved the 2008 Executive Bonus Plan (the "Plan"), including the performance
metrics and target amounts, for certain officers of the Company. The
performance metrics and target amounts are generally consistent with previously
disclosed awards and grants. However, the Committee approved a change
in the Plan which would allow participants in the Plan to be awarded a
50%
payout of the bonus beginning at 95% attainment of the performance metrics;
provided that the amount of any bonus paid under the Plan would be capped
at
150% payout at 105% attainment of the performance
metrics. Previously, bonuses could only be awarded at above 95% of
performance attainment and total payout was capped at 165% payout.
A
more
detailed description of the 2008 Executive Bonus Plan is attached hereto
