Charter Announces Interim Results and Amendment of $100 Million Tender Offer for Debt Securities

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) announced today interim results and amendment for the previously announced cash tender offer by its subsidiary, Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC ("Charter Holdco"), to purchase an amount of Notes (including accrued and unpaid interest) of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC not to exceed $100 million (the "Maximum Payment Amount").

As of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (ET) on October 14, 2008, approximately $69 million of Notes having an Acceptance Priority Level of 1 were tendered. No change has been made to the Total Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration for any series of Notes having an Acceptance Level Priority of 1. The initial settlement date for Notes having an Acceptance Priority Level of 1 that were tendered prior to the Early Tender Time is expected to occur on October 17, 2008.

Charter Holdco has decreased the Tender Offer Consideration and the Total Consideration for each series of Notes having an Acceptance Priority Level of 2 (the "Affected Notes"), validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer. The "New Tender Offer Consideration" and "New Total Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of Affected Notes are set forth on the table below. The Early Tender Time for the Affected Notes has been extended until the Expiration Time, which is 5:00 p.m. ET, on Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Consequently the New Total Consideration includes the Early Tender Premium of $15.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Affected Notes payable to Holders that validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their Affected Notes at or before the Expiration Time and whose Affected Notes are accepted for purchase. Withdrawal rights for the Affected Notes have been extended such that tenders of Affected Notes made at or before 5:00 p.m. ET, on Tuesday, October 14, 2008, may be validly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Time; however, tenders of Affected Notes made after 5:00 p.m., ET, on Tuesday, October 14, 2008, may not be withdrawn except to the extent required by law.

The following table summarizes the material pricing terms, as amended, for each $1,000 principal amount of Affected Notes that are accepted for purchase.

1. Holders of Affected Notes who validly tender their Affected Notes will be eligible to receive the Early Tender Premium.

If Notes are validly tendered and not withdrawn at the Expiration Time, such that the amount Charter Holdco would be required to pay for the purchase of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, exceeds the Maximum Payment Amount, Charter Holdco will (subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer) prorate the amount of Notes to be purchased having an Acceptance Priority Level of 2.

The final settlement date for Notes having an Acceptance Priority Level of 1 that are tendered after the Early Tender Time but before the Expiration Time will be within the first three trading days following the Expiration Time, if such Notes have been accepted for purchase. The settlement date for Notes having an Acceptance Priority Level of 2 will be within the first three trading days following the Expiration Time, if such Notes have been accepted for purchase.
