The Total Offer Consideration for the Notes validly tendered prior to or at the applicable Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase is calculated using the Fixed Spread.
(2)
Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase.
The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 9, 2024, as amended by the Company’s press release dated May 9, 2024 (as amended and supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”). The Tender Offer comprises the Company’s offer to purchase for cash up to $2.7 billion combined aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date and excludes premiums, fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer) (the “Aggregate Maximum Amount”). The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.
The “Total Early Offer Consideration” listed in the table above per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes was determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2024. Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2024 (the “Early Tender Time”) are eligible to receive the Total Early Offer Consideration for Notes accepted for purchase. As previously announced, the Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for the Notes that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase on May 24, 2024 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”). Because the amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Amount, any such tendered Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, subject to a proration factor of approximately 0.76954540. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, any Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder’s account. Since the Tender Offer for the Notes is fully subscribed at the Early Tender Time, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time on a subsequent settlement date.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is serving as the Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the Tender Offer may be directed to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Liability Management Group at (800) 624-1808 (toll free) or (212) 761-1057 (collect).

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes. The Tender Offer is made only by the Offer to Purchase and the information in this press release is qualified by reference to the Offer to Purchase. Neither Charter, the Company or its affiliates, their respective boards of directors, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent and Tender Agent or the trustees with respect to any Notes is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer, and no one has been authorized to make any such recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.
