Share Article:

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2006--We have filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (including the prospectus contained therein) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of securities to which this communication relates. Before you tender the subject securities or otherwise make any investment decision with respect to the subject securities or the securities being offered, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents we have filed with the SEC for more complete information about Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) and its subsidiaries. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov or by contacting Charter's Investor Relations department at Charter Plaza, 12405 Powerscourt Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63131, telephone number (314) 965-0555.

Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter" or the "Company") announced today the results of the offer by its subsidiaries, CCHC, LLC ("CCHC") and CCH II, LLC and CCH II Capital Corp. (collectively, "CCH II" and, together with CCHC, the "Offerors") to exchange (the "Convertible Exchange Offer") up to $450.0 million of Charter's 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 ("Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Exchange Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 8, 2006. As of the expiration of the Convertible Exchange Offer, $499.9 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes were validly tendered. The Company has accepted $450.0 million of the Convertible Notes tendered for exchange, representing approximately 52.2% of the total principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding.

Since the amount of Convertible Notes tendered exceeded the maximum amount of Convertible Notes that the Offerors would accept, the Offerors pro rated the amount of Convertible Notes accepted from participating holders as described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus. The Offerors accepted 90.0% of the amount tendered by each holder and unaccepted amounts will be promptly returned to holders. Following the consummation of the Convertible Exchange Offer, $412.5 million of Convertible Notes will remain outstanding.

On the settlement date, which the Company expects to be September 14, 2006, holders of accepted Convertible Notes will receive the following consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes accepted:

    --  $417.75 in cash,

    --  100 shares of Class A Common Stock of Charter ("Class A Common
        Stock"),

    --  $325.00 principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes due 2010
        issued by CCH II (the "CCH II Notes") as an addition to its
        currently outstanding series, and

    --  An additional $19.26 in cash for accrued interest from the
        last interest payment date up to, but not including the
        settlement date.

In aggregate, Charter will use $196.7 million in cash (including $8.7 million to fund accrued interest due on accepted Convertible Notes) and issue 45.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock and $146.2 million principal amount of CCH II Notes.

The CCH II Notes will be pari passu with, of the same class as, and otherwise be substantially identical in all respects to approximately $2.1 billion principal amount of currently outstanding CCH II notes. The CCH II Notes will be issued under a temporary CUSIP number until the next interest payment date, which is expected to be September 15, 2006, at which time it is expected that they will be mandatorily merged into the existing CUSIP number that has approximately $1.6 billion outstanding principal amount of CCH II notes (CUSIP 2502CAD3).

Holders of the Convertible Notes that had previously entered into a share loan agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Limited, had the ability to elect, at their option, to close out such positions with shares received in connection with the Convertible Exchange Offer. If a holder made such an election, the shares that holder is entitled to receive in connection with the Convertible Exchange Offer will be used to satisfy obligations to return Class A Common Stock under the share loan agreement.
