                          TO BE HELD ON JUNE 26, 2002

                               ----------------

  The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Comcast Corporation (the "Company")
will be held on Wednesday, June 26, 2002 at 9:00 a.m. local time at the
Marriott Philadelphia, 1201 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the
following purposes:

  1. To elect ten directors to serve for the ensuing year and until their
     respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

  2. To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's
     independent auditors for the 2002 fiscal year.

  3. To consider a proposal to approve an amendment to the 1996 Stock Option
     Plan.

  4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting
     or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

  The close of business on April 25, 2002 has been fixed as the record date
for the meeting. All shareholders of record at that time are entitled to
notice of, and all holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
are entitled to vote at, the meeting and any adjournment or postponement
thereof.

  Because holders of Class A Special Common Stock are not generally entitled
to vote and no resolution is proposed for the meeting for which a vote of the
Class A Special Common Stock is required by law, holders of Class A Special
Common Stock are not entitled to vote at the meeting. The enclosed proxy
statement is being sent to holders of Class A Special Common Stock for
informational purposes only.

  All shareholders are cordially invited to attend the meeting. The Board of
Directors urges you to vote by telephone or via the Internet or to complete,
date, sign and return promptly the enclosed proxy with respect to your shares
of Class A Common Stock. The proxies are solicited by the Board of Directors
of the Company. The return of the proxy will not affect your right to vote in
person if you do attend the meeting. A copy of the Company's 2001 Annual
Report is enclosed.

  Following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company will hold a
Special Meeting of Shareholders to consider the proposed merger of the Company
with the broadband business of AT&T Corp. and other related matters. You will
receive a separate notice and proxy statement with respect to such Special
Meeting of Shareholders and the matters to be acted upon at that meeting.

                                PROXY STATEMENT

                               ----------------

  The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Comcast
Corporation (the "Company"), a Pennsylvania corporation, for use at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders (the "meeting") to be held on Wednesday, June 26, 2002
at 9:00 a.m. local time at the Marriott Philadelphia, 1201 Market Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. This
Proxy Statement, the foregoing notice and the enclosed proxy are being mailed
to shareholders on or about May 22, 2002.

  The Board of Directors does not intend to bring any matters before the
meeting other than the matters specifically referred to in the notice of the
meeting, nor does the Board of Directors know of any matter which anyone else
proposes to present for action at the meeting. However, if any other matters
properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy
or their duly constituted substitutes acting at the meeting will be deemed
authorized to vote or otherwise act thereon in accordance with their judgment
on such matters.

  When your proxy card is returned properly signed, the shares represented
will be voted in accordance with your directions. In the absence of
instructions, the shares represented at the meeting by the enclosed proxy will
be voted "FOR" each of the nominees for the Board of Directors in the election
of directors and "FOR" each of the other proposals submitted to shareholders
in accordance with the foregoing notice of meeting and as set forth in this
Proxy Statement. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by
notifying the Secretary in writing, by delivering or transmitting a duly
executed or authenticated proxy bearing a later date or by attending the
meeting and voting in person.

Voting Electronically and by Telephone

  Instead of submitting your vote by mail on the enclosed proxy card, the
Company's by-laws permit you to vote by telephone or via the Internet. Please
note that there are separate telephone and Internet voting arrangements
depending on whether shares registered in the Company's stock records are in
your name or in the name of a brokerage firm or bank.

  The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate
shareholders' identities, to allow shareholders to vote their shares and to
confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders
voting via the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated
with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers
and telephone companies, that will be borne by the shareholder. Shareholders
who vote by telephone will be able to utilize a toll-free telephone number,
the cost of which is borne by the Company.

 For Shares Registered Directly in the Name of the Shareholder

  Shareholders with shares registered directly in their name in the Company's
stock records maintained by its transfer agent, EquiServe Trust Company, N.A.
("EquiServe"), may vote their shares in any of the following ways:

  .  by telephone by calling (toll-free) 1-877-779-8683,

  .  via the Internet at the following address on the World Wide Web:

     http://www.eproxyvote.com/cmcsa,

                                       1


  .  by mailing their signed proxy card, or

  .  by attending the meeting and voting in person.

  Specific instructions to be followed by registered shareholders are set
forth on the enclosed proxy card. Votes submitted by telephone or via the
Internet through EquiServe as described herein must be received by 5:00 p.m.
eastern time on June 25, 2002.

 For Shares Registered in the Name of a Brokerage Firm or Bank

  A number of brokerage firms and banks are participating in separate programs
that offer telephone and/or Internet voting options. Such programs are
different from the programs provided by EquiServe for shares registered
directly in the name of the shareholder. If your shares are held in an account
at a brokerage firm or bank participating in any such program, you may vote
those shares by telephone and/or via the Internet in accordance with
instructions set forth on the voting form provided to you by the brokerage
firm or bank that holds your shares.

Important Notice

  All meeting attendees may be asked to present a valid government-issued
photo identification (federal, state or local), such as a driver's license or
passport, before entering the meeting. In addition, video and audio recording
devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting, and
attendees will be subject to security inspections.

                VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Outstanding Shares and Voting Rights

  At the close of business on April 25, 2002, the record date, the Company had
outstanding 21,591,115 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $1.00 per
share, 9,444,375 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share,
and 915,590,935 shares of Class A Special Common Stock, par value $1.00 per
share.

  On each matter voted upon at the meeting and any adjournment or postponement
thereof, the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together.
Each record holder of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per
share and each record holder of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to
fifteen votes per share. Holders of Class A Special Common Stock shall not be
entitled to vote at the meeting. References in this Proxy Statement to voting
classes of the Company's Common Stock shall not include the Class A Special
Common Stock. In the election of directors, holders of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock shall not have cumulative voting rights.

  The presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast a
majority of the votes that shareholders are entitled to cast on each matter to
be voted upon at the meeting will constitute a quorum for the meeting. If the
meeting is adjourned for one or more periods aggregating at least fifteen days
due to the absence of a quorum, those shareholders entitled to vote who attend
the adjourned meeting, although otherwise less than a quorum as described in
the preceding sentence, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting
upon any matter set forth in the foregoing notice of the meeting.

  In the election of directors, the ten nominees receiving a plurality of the
votes cast at the meeting shall be elected. Approval of all other proposals to
be submitted to shareholders in accordance with the foregoing notice of the
meeting and as set forth in this Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. For purposes of determining
the number of votes cast with respect to any voting matter, only those cast
"FOR," "AGAINST" or, in the case of the

                                       2


election of directors, "WITHHELD," are included. Abstentions and broker non-
votes are counted only for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present
at the meeting.

  The holder of all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock has indicated that
it will vote all of its shares "FOR" each of the nominees for director listed
below and "FOR" each of the other proposals submitted to shareholders in
accordance with the foregoing notice of the meeting and as set forth in this
Proxy Statement. Consequently, the election of each of the nominees for
director listed below and the approval of each of the other proposals
submitted to shareholders in accordance with the foregoing notice of the
meeting and as set forth in this Proxy Statement are assured.

--------
(1)  As of March 31, 2002, Sural LLC ("Sural"), a Delaware limited liability
     company, was the sole owner of the Company's outstanding Class B Common
     Stock and owned 136,912 shares of the Company's outstanding Class A
     Common Stock. Mr. Brian L. Roberts, President of the Company, owns
     membership interests representing substantially all of the voting power
     of all classes of voting securities of Sural. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3
     under the Exchange Act, Mr. Brian L. Roberts is deemed to be the
     beneficial owner of the shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common
     Stock owned by Sural, and he is deemed to be the beneficial owner of
     1,356 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by his wife, as to which he
     disclaims beneficial ownership. Since each share of Class B Common Stock
     is entitled to fifteen votes, the shares of Class A Common Stock and
     Class B Common Stock owned by Sural and Mr. Brian L. Roberts constituted
     as of March 31, 2002 approximately 87% of the voting power of the two
     classes of the Company's voting Common Stock combined. The Class B Common
     Stock is convertible on a share-for-share basis into Class A Common Stock
     or Class A Special Common Stock. If Sural and Mr. Brian L. Roberts were
     to convert the Class B Common Stock that they are deemed to beneficially
     own into Class A Common Stock, Mr. Roberts would beneficially own
     9,582,643 shares of Class A Common Stock (approximately 30.6% of the
     Class A Common Stock).

(2)  The information contained in this table with respect to Chilton
     Investment Company, Inc. ("Chilton") is based upon a filing dated March
     28, 2002 made on Schedule 13G by Chilton setting forth information as of
     March 18, 2002. The Schedule 13G indicates that Chilton has sole voting
     and dispositive power as to all of such shares.

      issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by
      Mr. Brian L. Roberts. If Sural and Mr. Brian L. Roberts were to convert
      the Class B Common Stock that they are deemed to beneficially own into
      Class A Common Stock, Mr. Brian L. Roberts would beneficially own
      9,582,643 shares of Class A Common Stock (approximately 30.6% of the
      Class A Common Stock). See note (1) to the table under the caption
      "Principal Shareholders."

      includes 9,581,288 shares owned by Sural, but does not include additional
      shares of Class A Special Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class
      B Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Brian L. Roberts. If Sural and
      Mr. Brian L. Roberts were to convert the Class B Common Stock that they
      are deemed to beneficially own into Class A Special Common Stock, Mr.
      Brian L. Roberts would beneficially own 24,472,467 shares of Class A
      Special Common Stock (approximately 2.6% of the Class A Special Common
      Stock). See note (1) to the table under the caption "Principal
      Shareholders."

(11)  The Company's by-laws do not provide for the position of "Chief Executive
      Officer." For purposes of application of the proxy rules of the
      Securities and Exchange Commission to this Proxy Statement, the Company
      has determined that Mr. Ralph J. Roberts should be deemed to be the
      Company's chief executive officer.

      partnership, the general partner of which is controlled by Mr. Ralph J.

      officers, other than those named above, in the Comcast Corporation
      Retirement--Investment Plan, as to which shares beneficial ownership is
      disclaimed.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

  Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers
and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of the Company's equity securities (collectively, the "reporting persons") to
file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and to furnish the Company with copies of these reports.
Based on the Company's review of the copies of these reports received by it,
and written representations received from reporting persons, the Company
believes that all filings required to be made by the reporting persons for the
period January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001 were made on a timely basis;
however, the withholding of 20,917 shares of stock in connection with a stock

Stock Option Plan on June 1, 2000 was reported on a Form 4 filed on September
7, 2001.

Compensation of Directors

  Each member of the Board of Directors who is not an employee of the Company
(a "non-employee director") receives an annual fee of $35,000, plus $2,000 for
each meeting of the Board of Directors attended and $1,000 for each meeting of
any committee of the Board of Directors attended which is not held in

for incidental travel expenses for meetings attended.

  The Comcast Corporation 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Stock Option
Plan") provides that each non-employee director will be granted annually, on
each February 1, an option to purchase 5,400 shares of Class A Special Common
Stock except that any newly-elected non-employee director shall receive a
grant of options to purchase 9,000 shares of Class A Special Common Stock on
the date such director is first elected to the Board of Directors. If such
election date is less than 90 days before the next February 1, a newly-elected
director shall not be entitled to receive the option to purchase 5,400 shares
on that February 1. The options granted to non-employee directors have an
exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of Class A
Special Common Stock on the date of grant. Each such option becomes
exercisable six months after the date of grant and generally expires five
years from the date of grant. A non-employee director of the Company may not
sell shares of the Company's common stock unless, subsequent thereto, such
director owns shares of the Company's common stock with a value at least equal
to five times their base annual compensation from the Company. See "Report on

Report of the Audit Committee

  The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") is
composed entirely of independent directors as defined in the listing standards
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The key
responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in its Charter, adopted
on May 1, 2000, which was included with the Company's Proxy Statement for its
2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

  The Audit Committee serves in an oversight capacity and is not intended to
be part of the Company's operational or managerial decision-making process.
The Company's management is responsible for preparing the Company's
consolidated financial statements, and its independent auditors are
responsible for auditing the consolidated financial statements. The principal
purpose of the Audit Committee is to monitor these processes.

  In this context, the Audit Committee met and held discussions with
management and the independent auditors. Management represented to the Audit
Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the
consolidated financial statements with management and the independent
auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors matters
required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61
(Communication With Audit Committees) as amended.

  The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the auditors'
independence from the Company and its management, including the matters in the
written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1
(Independence Discussions With Audit Committees). The Audit Committee has also
considered whether the independent auditors' provision of non-audit related
services to the Company is compatible with the auditors' independence.

  The Audit Committee discussed with the Company's internal and independent
auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit
Committee met with the internal and independent auditors, with and without
management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the
evaluations of the Company's internal controls and the overall quality of the
Company's financial reporting.

  In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit
Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has
approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, for filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has
recommended and the Board has approved, subject to shareholder ratification,
the selection of the Company's independent auditors.

                                PROPOSAL THREE

                        TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE
                  COMCAST CORPORATION 1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

  The Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan is the Company's sole plan for awarding
options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Special Common Stock to
the Company's employees and non-employee directors. A description of the terms
of the 1996 Stock Option Plan is provided below. The Company's shareholders
will vote at the meeting on a proposal to increase the maximum aggregate
number of shares for which options may be granted under the 1996 Stock Option
Plan from 50 million shares to 75 million shares.

  Prior to April 29, 2002, the maximum number of shares of the Company's Class
A Special Common Stock for which options may be granted under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan was limited to an aggregate of 50 million shares. On April 29,
2002, the Compensation Subcommittee amended the 1996 Stock Option Plan to
increase the aggregate number of shares for which options may be granted under
the 1996 Stock Option Plan to 75 million shares, subject to approval by the
Company's shareholders at the meeting.

  If the proposed merger of the Company with the broadband business of AT&T
Corp. referenced in the notice of meeting occurs, it is anticipated that the
1996 Stock Option Plan will be adopted by the new combined company and options
granted thereunder will remain outstanding with respect to the combined
company's common stock. The increased number of shares under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan that is the subject of shareholder approval under this proposal
will be available to the combined company if the merger occurs; however, the
number of additional shares was determined by anticipating the needs of the
Company through at least 2003, assuming the proposed merger does not occur. If
the proposed merger occurs, the Company anticipates that further shares (in
addition to those proposed for approval hereunder) will need to be added to
the 1996 Stock Option Plan to meet the needs of the substantially larger
combined company. Any such further increase will be subject to shareholder
approval at a meeting of the shareholders of the combined company.

Description of the 1996 Stock Option Plan

  The following is a summary of the material features of the 1996 Stock Option
Plan.

  The 1996 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase
shares of the Company's Class A Special Common Stock to employees (whether or
not members of the Board of Directors) of the Company and its parents or
subsidiaries ("Affiliates") within the meaning of Sections 424(e) and (f) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as designated by
the Company's Board of Directors or a committee of two or more of its non-
employee members appointed by the Board of Directors, and for the grant of
options to non-employee directors of the Company. Except to the extent an
option granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan is specifically designated as
a nonqualified option (as defined below) or otherwise becomes a nonqualified
option after grant, options granted to employees of the Company or its
Affiliates under the 1996 Stock Option Plan are intended to qualify as
qualified stock options (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "ISOs") within
the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code. Options granted under the 1996
Stock Option Plan to non-employee directors of the Company, options granted to
employees under the 1996 Stock Option Plan which are specifically designated
as nonqualified options, and options otherwise ineligible for treatment as an
ISO are hereinafter referred to as "nonqualified options."

  The purpose of the 1996 Stock Option Plan is to assist the Company in
retaining valued employees, officers and directors by offering them a greater
stake in the Company's success and a closer identity with it, and to aid in
attracting individuals whose services would be helpful to the Company and
would contribute to its success.

                                      11


  ISOs and nonqualified options are sometimes hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Options." Recipients of Options are hereinafter referred to as
"Optionees." Shares of the Company's Class A Special Common Stock are
sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Shares." Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of Options are hereinafter referred to as "Option Shares." The 1996
Stock Option Plan is currently administered by the Compensation Subcommittee
of the Board of Directors. This subcommittee, or any other committee or
subcommittee of the Board of Directors administering the 1996 Stock Option
Plan, is sometimes referred to, with respect to the 1996 Stock Option Plan, as
the "Committee."

  No Options may be granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan after March 12,
2006.

 Eligibility

  All employees of the Company and its Affiliates are eligible to receive ISOs
under the 1996 Stock Option Plan. All employees and non-employee directors of
the Company and its Affiliates are eligible to receive nonqualified options
under the 1996 Stock Option Plan. An employee may receive more than one Option
under the 1996 Stock Option Plan but only on the terms and subject to the
restrictions of the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

  In determining the eligible participants to whom Options are granted under
the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the number of Shares covered by such Options,
the Committee may take into account the nature of such participant's services
and responsibilities, his or her present and potential contributions to the
Company's success and such other factors as the Committee may deem relevant.

  The 1996 Stock Option Plan provides that the maximum number of shares of the
Class A Special Common Stock for which Options may be issued to any single
individual in any calendar year is 10 million shares, subject to adjustment as
described under "Purchase of Shares Under the 1996 Stock Option Plan" below.
The 1996 Stock Option Plan provides that each non-employee director of the
Company shall receive a grant of Options to purchase 5,400 shares of Class A
Special Common Stock on each February 1, except that any newly-elected non-
employee director shall receive a grant of Options to purchase 9,000 shares of
Class A Special Common Stock on the date such director is first elected to the
Board of Directors. If such election date is less than 90 days before the next
February 1, the newly-elected director shall not be entitled to receive
Options to purchase 5,400 shares on that February 1.

 Shares Covered By The 1996 Stock Option Plan

  On April 29, 2002, the Committee amended the 1996 Stock Option Plan, subject
to shareholder approval at the meeting, to provide for the grant of Options to
purchase up to an aggregate of 75 million shares of the Company's Class A
Special Common Stock. Prior to such amendment, the maximum number of shares
underlying Options available for grant was 50 million. If an Option granted
under the 1996 Stock Option Plan expires or terminates without having been
exercised in full, the Option Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of
such Option will be available for the grant of additional Options under the
1996 Stock Option Plan, to the extent additional Options thereunder may be
granted.

                                      12


 New Plan Benefits

  Future grants of Options, if any, that will be made to eligible participants
in the 1996 Stock Option Plan are subject to the discretion of the Committee
and, therefore, are not determinable at this time. The following table
reflects the number of Options which have been granted subject to
shareholders' approval of the increase in the number of shares available for
grant under the 1996 Stock Option Plan in accordance with this proposal.

(1) The options granted to Company employees other than executive officers
    vest in installments over a period of either five years or nine years and
    six months and expire ten years after the date granted. The options
    granted to the Company's executive officers vest in installments over a
    period of nine years and six months and expire ten years after the date
    granted. The options granted to the Company's non-employee directors vest
    fully six months after the date of grant and expire five years after the
    date granted. The exercise price of all of the options is the fair market
    value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Except for 500,000
    options granted to Mr. Burke on January 7, 2002, as to which the exercise
    price is $34.90, the options granted to all of the executive officers,
    including Messrs. Ralph J. Roberts, Brodsky, Brian L. Roberts, Burke and
    Smith, were granted on January 24, 2002, and the exercise price of those
    options is $35.49. The options granted to all of the non-employee
    directors were granted on February 1, 2002, and the exercise price of
    those options is $35.53. The options granted to Company employees other
    than executive officers were granted at various times from January 2002 to
    April 2002. The closing market price of the Class A Special Common Stock
    on the Nasdaq National Market on April 25, 2002 was $27.04.

 Administration

  The 1996 Stock Option Plan provides that it will be administered by any
committee or subcommittee designated by the Board of Directors of the Company,
provided such committee or subcommittee is composed of two or more non-
employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company, each of whom is an
"outside director" within the meaning of the Code. Currently, the Compensation
Subcommittee of the Board of Directors administers the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

  The Committee is authorized under the 1996 Stock Option Plan to determine
the Optionees to whom and the times at which the Options are granted and
become exercisable. Subject to the provisions of the 1996 Stock Option Plan,
the Committee also is authorized to determine the number

                                      13


of Shares issuable upon exercise of each Option and other terms and conditions
of the Option. In addition, the 1996 Stock Option Plan provides that the
Committee may determine whether an Option is intended to be an ISO. Under
certain circumstances, the Committee may have the power to accelerate or
extend the exercise date of outstanding Options. See "Amendments," "Methods of
Exercise" and "Termination" below.

  The individual option document (the "Option Document") for each Option sets
forth the terms of such Option, including the vesting of Options thereunder.
The Option Documents are in such form as the Committee shall from time to time
approve. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision
of the 1996 Stock Option Plan, or of any Option Document, is final, binding
and conclusive.

 Purchase of Shares Under the 1996 Stock Option Plan

  Under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the Committee sets forth in each Option
Document the exercise price for the Option Shares covered thereby (the "Option
Price"), provided that the Option Price of ISOs may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of such Shares on the date or at the time that the
Option is granted. In addition, if an ISO is granted to an Optionee who then
owns, directly or by attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code, shares
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option Price must be at least 110%
of the fair market value of such Shares on the date the Option is granted. The
1996 Stock Option Plan provides that "fair market value" shall generally be
determined based on the last reported sale price of Shares on the last trading
day prior to the date on which such Option is granted.

  The number of Shares of Class A Special Common Stock for which Options may
be granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, and the number of Shares of Class
A Special Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options granted under the
1996 Stock Option Plan, and the exercise price for such Options, are subject
to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or certain other
capital adjustments. No adjustment will be made in respect of the issuance of
Shares on the conversion of other securities of the Company that are
convertible into such class or classes of Shares.

 Amendments

  The Committee may amend the 1996 Stock Option Plan from time to time in such
manner as it may deem advisable. However, amendments to change the class of
individuals eligible to receive ISOs under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, extend
the expiration date of the 1996 Stock Option Plan, decrease the minimum Option
Price of an ISO granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan or increase the
maximum number of Shares for which Options may be granted (other than as a
result of adjustments in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or certain
other capital adjustments) are not effective unless shareholder approval is
obtained within twelve months before or after such action. In addition,
provisions of the 1996 Stock Option Plan relating to grants of Options to non-
employee directors that determine (i) which directors are granted Options
pursuant to such provisions; (ii) the number of Shares subject to Options
granted under such provisions; (iii) the Option Price of such Shares; and (iv)
the timing of grants of Options pursuant to such provisions may not be amended
more than once every six months, other than to comport with the Code or the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if applicable.

  The power of the Board of Directors or the Committee to amend Option
Documents or the 1996 Stock Option Plan may be subject to limitations
contained in applicable provisions of the Code and federal securities laws and
regulations.

 Methods of Exercise

  An Option granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan may be exercised by the
Optionee only by written notice to the Company. The notice required under the
1996 Stock Option Plan must specify

                                      14


the number of Shares to be purchased and must be accompanied by payment in
full of the purchase price. Payment may be made in cash, by certified check
payable to the order of the Company, or by a combination of the foregoing. In
addition, if the Committee so provides in an Option Document, payment may be
made all or in part in shares of Class A Special Common Stock or Class A
Common Stock; provided, however, that the Option Shares may not be paid for in
shares of Class A Special Common Stock or Class A Common Stock if such method
of payment would result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act,
or if the Optionee does not own as of the date the relevant option is
exercised a number of shares held for at least six months at least equal to
the number of shares used to pay the exercise price of the Option.

  There is no limitation on the number of Shares an Optionee may acquire under
the 1996 Stock Option Plan in any given year through the exercise of
outstanding Options, except as may be provided by the Committee in an Option
Document.

  Certain Optionees who hold nonqualified stock options may elect to defer the
receipt of shares otherwise deliverable on the exercise of a nonqualified
stock option under the Comcast Corporation 1997 Deferred Stock Option Plan. In
general, an eligible Optionee may elect to defer the receipt of shares for a
minimum of two years and a maximum of ten years. In general, the Company will
deliver shares, which are originally reserved for issuance on the exercise of
a nonqualified stock option, net of shares required to exercise, at the end of
the deferral period elected by the eligible Optionee.

 Termination

  The term during which an Option may be exercised is set out in the
individual Option Document, but may not exceed (i) ten years from the date of
grant or, (ii) with respect to ISOs, five years from the date of grant if the
Optionee on the date of grant owns, directly or by attribution under Section
424(d) of the Code, shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of an Affiliate.

  An Optionee's right to exercise any part of an Option granted pursuant to
the 1996 Stock Option Plan terminates on expiration of the Option term
specified in the Option Document. Generally, an Option expires on the first to
occur of: (i) expiration of 90 days from the date when the Optionee ceases to
be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate for any reason other than
disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), death or a finding of
the Committee that the employee has breached his or her employment contract
with, or has been engaged in any sort of disloyalty to, or has disclosed trade
secrets of, the Company or an Affiliate, provided that the Committee may
specify in an Option Document that an Option may be exercisable during a
longer period after the Optionee ceases to be an employee, but in no event
later than the expiration of the Option term specified in the Option Document;
(ii) expiration of one year from the date the Optionee's employment with the
Company or an Affiliate terminates as a result of an Optionee's death or
disability; (iii) the date set by the Committee as an accelerated expiration
date in the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any
other transaction in which an unaffiliated third party acquires more than 50%
of the voting power for election of directors of the Company; or (iv) the date
of a finding by the Committee that the Optionee has breached his or her
employment contract with the Company or an Affiliate (if such Optionee is an
employee of the Company or an Affiliate), has been engaged in any sort of
disloyalty to the Company or an Affiliate, including, without limitation,
fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the
course of his or her employment (if an employee) or in the course of his or
her service as a director (if a non-employee director), or has disclosed trade
secrets of the Company or an Affiliate. In the event of such a finding by the
Committee, in addition to immediate termination of the Option, the Optionee,
upon a determination by the Committee, will forfeit all Option Shares for
which the Company has not yet delivered stock certificates representing the
Option Shares, upon refund by the Company of the exercise price of the Option.

                                      15


  Options granted to certain employees of the Company, including the executive
officers named under the heading "Executive Compensation," provide that in the
event of death or disability (as defined in the 1996 Stock Option Plan) the
Options will vest fully and remain exercisable for the remaining term.

 Transferability of Options

  In general, Options granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan are not
transferable by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Optionee, Options may be
exercised only by the Optionee. However, the 1996 Stock Option Plan provides
that the Committee may, in its discretion, provide in an Option Document or an
amendment thereto that such Options may be transferred to members of the
Optionee's immediate family, or trusts or partnerships the sole beneficiaries
or partners of which are members of the Optionee's immediate family or the
Optionee, provided that such transfer is without consideration. Any Options so
transferred will remain subject to all conditions applicable to the Options,
as set forth in the 1996 Stock Option Plan or the relevant Option Documents,
except that the consent of the transferee of the Options (rather than that of
the original Optionee) will be required in order to amend the transferred
Options. See "Amendments" above. Any Option which is made transferable to the
extent provided in the 1996 Stock Option Plan will be a nonqualified option.

 Cash Rights

  The 1996 Stock Option Plan provides that the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, give an Optionee the right to receive the value of any
nonqualified Option in cash upon exercise of the Option rather than to pay the
exercise price of the Option and receive Shares. Such rights must be attached
to specific Options and are subject to the same vesting, expiration and
transferability terms as the Options to which they are attached. Options and
associated cash rights may not be exercised separately.

 Withholding of Taxes

  Whenever the Company is required to deliver or transfer Shares of Class A
Special Common Stock in connection with the exercise of an Option under the
1996 Stock Option Plan, the Company has the right to require the Optionee to
remit or otherwise make available to the Company an amount sufficient to
satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements prior to
the delivery or transfer of any certificate or certificates for such shares or
to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect its interests with
respect to tax liabilities in connection with the issuance of such shares.

  Under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, tax liabilities incurred in connection
with the exercise of an Option will be satisfied by the Company's withholding
a portion of the Option Shares underlying the Option that have a fair market
value approximately equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be
withheld by the Company under applicable law, unless otherwise determined by
the Committee with respect to any Optionee. However, the Committee may permit
an Optionee to elect to have taxes withheld in excess of the minimum amount
required to be withheld by the Company (provided the Optionee certifies at the
time of such election that he or she has held for at least six months a number
of Shares at least equal to the number of all Option Shares withheld in excess
of the minimum amount), or to pay to the Company in cash all or a portion of
the taxes to be withheld upon the exercise of an Option. The Committee may add
such other requirements and limitations regarding these elections as it deems
appropriate.

 Federal Income Taxation

  The following discussion is intended to point out the general principles of
current federal income tax law applicable to the Options issued under the 1996
Stock Option Plan.

                                      16


  Incentive Stock Options. For the purposes of the regular income tax
currently imposed under the Code, the holder of an Option under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan which is an ISO will not recognize taxable income upon either the
grant or exercise of the Option.

  The Optionee will recognize long-term capital gain or loss on a disposition
of the Option Shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO provided the Optionee
does not dispose of the Option Shares within two years from the date the ISO
was granted and within one year after the Option Shares were transferred to
the Optionee. For purposes of determining such gain or loss, the Optionee's
basis in such Shares will, in general, be the Optionee's Option Price. Under
present law, long-term capital gain is subject to an effective tax rate of 20%
or 18%, depending upon the length of time the Option Shares are held, while
ordinary income may be taxed at a maximum effective rate of 38.6%. If the
Optionee satisfies both of the holding periods described above, then the
Company will not be allowed a deduction by reason of the exercise of the ISO.

  The amount, if any, by which the fair market value of an Option Share at the
time of exercise (determined without regard to certain transfer restrictions)
exceeds the Option Price will be included in the computation of the Optionee's
"alternative minimum taxable income," generally in the year he or she
exercises the ISO, for purposes of the "alternative minimum tax" imposed by
Section 55 of the Code. If an Optionee pays alternative minimum tax, the
amount of such tax paid that is attributable to the exercise of ISOs will be
allowed as a credit against regular tax liability in subsequent years in which
the Optionee's regular tax liability (reduced by certain other tax credits)
exceeds his or her alternative minimum tax. Further, the Optionee's basis in
Option Shares acquired through exercise of an ISO will, for alternative
minimum tax purposes, equal the fair market value of the Option Shares taken
into account in determining the Optionee's alternative minimum taxable income.

  As a general rule, if the Optionee disposes of the Option Shares before
satisfying the holding period requirements discussed above (a "disqualifying
disposition"), his or her gain recognized on the disqualifying disposition
will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent of the difference between the
fair market value of the Option Shares on the date of exercise and the
adjusted basis of the Option Shares (or, in certain cases, the excess of the
amount realized on disposition over the adjusted basis, if such excess is less
than the amount arrived at by the former calculation), and the Company will be
entitled to a deduction in that amount.

  The gain (if any) in excess of the amount recognized as ordinary income on a
disqualifying disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain,
depending upon the length of time the recipient held the Option Shares prior
to the disposition.

  Optionees may be permitted to exercise ISOs by transferring to the Company
shares of Class A Special Common Stock or Class A Common Stock then held by
the Optionee ("Prior Shares") having a market value equal to the Option Price
of the Shares to be purchased (see "Methods of Exercise" above). If the
Optionee acquired the Prior Shares by exercise of an ISO and the Optionee has
not satisfied the holding period requirements described above for the Prior
Shares, then the transfer will be treated as a disqualifying disposition by
the Optionee of the Prior Shares. However, if the Optionee did not acquire the
Prior Shares by exercise of an ISO or if the Optionee has satisfied the
holding period requirements applicable to the Prior Shares, then the Optionee
will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange. In that case, the
Optionee's basis and holding period (for purposes other than the Option
holding period rules) in the Prior Shares will carry over to a corresponding
number of Option Shares received. The Optionee's basis in any additional
Option Shares received will be zero and his or her holding period will begin
on the date the Optionee becomes the owner of such Shares.

  If an Option granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan which is intended to
be an ISO fails to qualify as such under applicable rules and regulations of
the Code, such Option will be subject to the general principles of Federal
income tax law discussed below with respect to nonqualified options.

                                      17


  Nonqualified Options. For Federal income tax purposes, the holder of a
nonqualified Option will not recognize taxable income at the time of grant,
and the Company will not be allowed a deduction by reason of the grant of a
nonqualified Option. The Optionee will in general recognize ordinary income
upon exercise of the nonqualified Option, in an amount equal to the excess of
the fair market value of the Option Shares received at the time of exercise
(including Option Shares withheld by the Company to satisfy tax withholding
obligations) over the exercise price of the nonqualified Option, and the
Company will be allowed a deduction in that amount.

  Upon disposition of the Option Shares, the Optionee will recognize long-term
or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the length of time he or
she held the Option Shares prior to disposition. The amount of long-term or
short-term capital gain or loss recognized by the Optionee upon disposition of
the Option Shares will be an amount equal to the difference between the amount
realized on the disposition and the Optionee's basis in the Option Shares
(which basis is ordinarily the fair market value of the Option Shares on the
date the Option was exercised).

  Optionees may be permitted to exercise nonqualified Options by transferring
to the Company Prior Shares having a market value equal to the Option Price of
the Shares to be purchased (see "Methods of Exercise" above). In that case, no
income will be recognized on the receipt of a corresponding number of Option
Shares, and the Optionee's basis and holding period in the Prior Shares will
carry over to the corresponding number of Option Shares received. The
Optionee's basis in such additional Option Shares received will equal the
amount includable in the Optionee's income and his or her holding period will
begin on the date the Optionee becomes the owner of such shares.

  Certain Optionees may be permitted to transfer nonqualified Options to
members of their immediate family, or certain trusts or partnerships, without
consideration. See "Transferability of Options" above. In the case of any
nonqualified Option so transferred, the original Optionee will recognize
income upon the exercise of the option by the transferee to the same extent as
if the original Optionee had exercised the Option, and the Company's
concurrent deduction will also be the same. The transferee's basis and holding
period in the stock received upon exercise of the transferred Option will be
the same basis and holding period as would have applied had the original
Optionee exercised the option in the same manner used by the transferee to
exercise the Option.

  As described above, certain Optionees who hold nonqualified Options may
elect to defer the receipt of shares otherwise deliverable on the exercise of
a nonqualified Option under the Comcast Corporation 1997 Deferred Stock Option
Plan. The amount deferred will not be includible in an Optionee's ordinary
income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year in which the
amount would have been received if no deferral election had been in effect.
Instead, the value of shares distributed at the end of the deferral period
will be includible in the Optionee's income when distributions under the 1997
Deferred Stock Option Plan are actually made.

  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR"
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMCAST CORPORATION 1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN.

(1)  The Company's by-laws do not provide for the position of "Chief Executive

*  Less than one percent of total Company options granted to employees in
   2001.

(1)  All of the options are for the purchase of shares of Class A Special
     Common Stock and were granted on either March 26 or July 30, 2001 under
     the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan. Except as described in note (3)
     below, all options granted in 2001 have exercise prices equal to the fair
     market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Except as
     described in the next sentence or in note (3) below, options generally
     become exercisable at the rate of 20% of the shares covered thereby on
     the second anniversary of the date of grant, another 10% on each of the
     third through ninth anniversaries of the date of grant and 10% six months
     prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The following
     options become exercisable at the rate of 40% of the shares covered
     thereby on the second anniversary of the date of the grant and 20% each
     on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of the grant:
     302,296 options granted to Mr. Ralph J. Roberts, 80,000 options granted
     to Mr. Brodsky, 377,296 options granted to Mr. Brian L. Roberts, 255,000
     options granted to Mr. Burke and 130,000 options granted to Mr. Smith on
     July 30, 2001, and 497,416 options granted to Mr. Ralph J. Roberts on
     March 26, 2001.

(2)  These amounts represent the estimated present value of options at the
     date of grant calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model,
     based upon the following assumptions used in developing the grant
     valuations: an expected volatility of approximately 35.9%; an expected
     term to exercise of eight years, except for certain incentive stock
     options granted to Messrs. Ralph J. Roberts and Brian L. Roberts, for
     which the expected term to exercise is five years; an interest rate of
     approximately 5.1%; and no dividend yield. The actual value of the
     options, if any, realized by an executive officer will depend on the
     extent to which the market value of the Class A Special Common Stock
     exceeds the exercise price of the option on the date the option is
     exercised. Consequently, there is no assurance that the value realized by
     an executive officer will be at or near the value estimated above. These
     amounts should not be used to predict share performance.


                                      21


(3)  In accordance with the tax rules governing incentive stock options, these
     options were granted at an exercise price equal to 110% of the fair
     market value of the underlying share on the date of grant. The options to
     purchase shares of the Company's Class A Special Common Stock become
     exercisable at the rate of 40% of the shares covered thereby on the
     second anniversary of the date of grant, another 20% on each of the third
     and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant and another 20% six months
     prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

  The following table contains information concerning grants of options under
the 1995 QVC Plan to the Chief Executive Officer and to each of the Company's
other named executive officers during 2001. Each option under the 1995 QVC
Plan is granted with a tandem SAR that entitles the recipient, in lieu of
exercising the option to which the SAR relates, to receive a cash payment
equal to 75% of the difference between the fair market value of a share of
stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the option.

*  Less than one percent of total QVC options granted to employees in 2001.

(1)  These options were granted on January 8, January 12, June 11, June 22 or
     July 18, 2001 pursuant to the terms of the 1995 QVC Plan. These options
     were granted at an exercise price representing the value of the shares
     underlying such options on the date of grant as determined pursuant to
     the 1995 QVC Plan, and such options vest 20% on each of the first five
     anniversaries of the date of grant, based on the named executive
     officer's continued service to the Company. In all cases, vesting is
     accelerated upon a change of control of QVC. The QVC options expire ten
     years after the date of grant. The terms of the QVC options provide that
     a new option will be granted each time shares acquired by exercise of an
     existing option are redeemed, with respect to a number of shares equal to
     the number of shares redeemed; except for the exercise price, the new
     option will contain substantially the same terms as the exercised option,
     as set forth in this footnote.

(2)  These amounts represent the estimated present value of options at the
     date of grant calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model,
     based upon the following assumptions used in developing the grant
     valuations: an expected volatility of approximately 20.0%; an expected
     term to exercise of eight years; an interest rate of approximately 5.3%;
     and no dividend yield. The actual value of the options, if any, realized
     by Messrs. Brodsky and Brian L. Roberts will depend on the extent to
     which the fair market value of the common stock of QVC exceeds the
     exercise price of the option on the date the option is exercised.
     Consequently, there is no assurance that the value realized by Messrs.
     Brodsky and Brian L. Roberts will be at or near the values estimated
     above.

--------
(1)  Represents 433,035 shares of Class A Special Common Stock to be issued to
     Mr. Ralph J. Roberts, the receipt of which has been deferred until July
     15, 2004 pursuant to the Company's 1997 Deferred Stock Option Plan (the
     "Deferred Stock Option Plan"), resulting from the exercise on March 8,
     2001 of options to purchase 561,198 shares at an exercise price of
     $9.5625 per share, net of 11,183 shares withheld to satisfy certain tax
     obligations. The per share fair market value of such shares on March 8,
     2001 was $45.875. The value ultimately realized with respect to such
     shares will be determined based on the fair market value of such shares
     upon their issuance to Mr. Ralph J. Roberts. If such shares (and such
     withheld shares) had been issued to Mr. Ralph J. Roberts on the date of
     exercise, the aggregate value realized by him with respect to such
     exercise would have been $20,378,502.

(2)  Mr. Brodsky realized the value shown above upon the exercise of options
     to purchase 24,000 shares of Class A Special Common Stock. In addition,
     the receipt of 480,450 shares of Class A Special Common Stock to be
     issued to Mr. Brodsky, resulting from the exercise on January 3, 2001 of
     options to purchase 336,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.1667 per
     share and options to purchase 252,290 shares at an exercise price of
     $9.5625 per share, net of 13,411 shares withheld to satisfy certain tax
     obligations, was deferred until June 19, 2004 pursuant to the Deferred
     Stock Option Plan. The per share fair market value of such shares on
     January 3, 2001 was $40.375. The value ultimately realized with respect
     to such shares will be determined based upon the fair market value of
     such shares upon their issuance to Mr. Brodsky. If such shares (and such
     withheld shares) had been issued to Mr. Brodsky on the date of exercise,
     the aggregate value realized by him with respect to such exercises would
     have been $19,939,674.

Pension Plan

  Under the Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the
"Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan"), adopted July 31, 1989, supplemental
retirement, death and disability benefits may be paid to or in respect of
certain senior executives employed by the Company and its affiliated
companies, as selected by the Company's Board of Directors. The Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan contemplates the payment of various percentages of a
participant's final average compensation (as actuarially reduced, in certain
circumstances, and as defined below) in the event that the participant (i)
elects to retire early (after the later of the participant's 55th birthday or
20 years of

                                      24


service with the Company); (ii) retires at age 65 or after; (iii) suffers a
permanent disability which renders the participant incapable of employment in
the same or a similar occupation; or (iv) dies. A participant may elect a
reduction in lifetime benefits in exchange for the continuation of payments to
a surviving spouse, or, as to Mr. Ralph J. Roberts, his designated
beneficiary. Messrs. Ralph J. Roberts and Brodsky (who are each credited with
30 years of service, the maximum credited service allowed under the
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan) are the only current employees
selected by the Board of Directors to participate in the Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan.

  The following table shows the annual single life annuity retirement benefit
which Messrs. Ralph J. Roberts and Brodsky, respectively, would receive based
on remuneration covered by, and years of service credited under, the
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan if he had retired on January 1, 2002 at
age 65 (or older). The benefits shown below are subject to reduction for
Social Security benefits.

(1) Final average compensation equals one-fifth of the total compensation for
    the five years preceding termination of employment. Compensation includes
    salary, bonus (including any deferred bonus) and any other supplementary
    remuneration, but excludes payments made to participants for split-dollar
    life insurance premium bonuses and payments made to offset tax liabilities
    incurred related to these bonuses. In the case of Mr. Ralph J. Roberts,
    final average compensation may, under some circumstances, be increased as
    described below in "Agreements with Executive Officers--Compensation
    Agreement with the Chief Executive Officer--Election to Become a
    Consultant."

(2) This column represents the maximum benefits payable under the Supplemental
    Executive Retirement Plan.

  The Company also has an agreement with Mr. Brodsky pursuant to which he is
entitled to a $30,000 payment each year for 15 years commencing upon his
termination of employment, subject to a vesting schedule. Any benefits
received under this agreement reduce the benefits to which Mr. Brodsky is
entitled under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Agreements with Executive Officers

 Compensation Agreement with the Chief Executive Officer

  A Compensation and Deferred Compensation Agreement and Stock Appreciation
Bonus Plan with the Chief Executive Officer (the "1993 Compensation
Agreement") was approved by the Company's shareholders on June 22, 1994.
Certain terms of the 1993 Compensation Agreement expired on December 31, 1997,
and on December 16, 1997 the Company and the Chief Executive Officer entered
into a new Compensation and Deferred Compensation Agreement. This agreement
was amended and restated effective August 31, 1998, and then amended again
effective August 30, 1999 and June 5, 2001 (as so amended, the "1998
Compensation Agreement"). The 1998 Compensation Agreement generally extends
the terms of the 1993 Compensation Agreement with certain modifications.

                                      25


  The 1998 Compensation Agreement provides that the Chief Executive Officer
will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
until December 31, 2002, or until such time as he may elect to change his
status to that of a non-executive consultant, and that until he makes such
election he will continue to devote substantially all of his working time to
the Company, on the terms and conditions summarized below. If he elects to
become a non-executive consultant, he shall devote such time as is necessary
to perform the functions reasonably requested by the Company. In addition, for
a period of five years following any termination of the service period of the
1998 Compensation Agreement, the Chief Executive Officer will perform such
reasonable ceremonial functions as the Company may request, and will promote
the interests and goodwill of the Company in such manner as the Company may
reasonably request.

  Base Salary. The 1998 Compensation Agreement provides that the Chief
Executive Officer will receive an annual base salary of $1 million beginning
in 1998, as adjusted (but never reduced, except pursuant to an overall plan to
reduce the compensation of all senior executive officers of the Company) in
order to reflect the greater of increases in the consumer price index
subsequent to 1997 and the average percentage increase in the base
compensation of the five employees of the Company (other than the Chief
Executive Officer) with the highest base compensation during the preceding
year.

  Bonus. The 1998 Compensation Agreement provides that so long as he continues
to serve as an executive of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer will be
eligible to receive annual bonuses of up to 50% of his base salary in
accordance with the Company's Executive Cash Bonus Plan, based on performance
targets established by the Compensation Subcommittee.

  Split-Dollar Life Insurance. The 1998 Compensation Agreement requires the
Company to continue to provide and to maintain the split-dollar life insurance
provided to the Chief Executive Officer under the 1993 Compensation Agreement,
and in addition to provide additional survivorship split-dollar life insurance
to the Chief Executive Officer and his spouse. Such split-dollar life
insurance includes certain split-dollar life insurance provided pursuant to
the 1993 Compensation Agreement to replace the potential benefits represented
by the Company's terminated discretionary bonus plan with respect to the
appreciation through March 15, 1994, in the options for Class A Special Common
Stock previously awarded to the Chief Executive Officer, taking into account
the financial position of the Company and the tax deductibility of any such
payments. Under the split-dollar life insurance arrangements, the Company pays
a portion of the annual premiums for certain single-life and joint-and-
survivor life insurance policies for the Chief Executive Officer, and upon
payment of the policies at the death of the Chief Executive Officer or of the
survivor of the Chief Executive Officer and his spouse, as applicable, the
Company recovers all of the cumulative premiums previously paid by the Company
for the whole-life portion of such policies. The Chief Executive Officer is
responsible for payment of the portion of such annual premiums representing
the cost of term insurance for each year. The Company also pays the Chief
Executive Officer an annual cash bonus in an amount equal to the portion of
the annual premium for such life insurance that he is required to pay; in
addition, the Company increases the bonus by an amount sufficient to pay any
income tax and gift tax liability incurred or to be incurred in connection
with payment of the bonus.

  The Chief Executive Officer's split-dollar life insurance arrangements were
revised in part in January 2002, in response to a general notice issued by the
Internal Revenue Service ("notice"), to provide: that bonus amounts paid by
the Company for premiums (and related bonus gross-up payments for income and
gift taxes) would continue to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer
subsequent to the policies achieving paid-up status; that the original method
of calculating the cost of the death benefit coverage would be continued, in
lieu of other lower cost methods permitted under the notice, so as to preserve
the original intended economic costs and benefit of the plans to the Company
and the Chief Executive Officer; and that, in order to avoid adverse tax
consequences to the Chief Executive Officer and his spouse, various trusts
created by the Chief Executive Officer may

                                      26


elect whether to pay premium amounts received after the policies achieve paid-
up status to the Company (as partial repayments of premiums previously paid by
the Company on the Chief Executive Officer's behalf) or to the insurance
carrier.

  Supplemental Death Benefit. Upon the death of the Chief Executive Officer,
the 1998 Compensation Agreement requires the Company to pay a supplemental
death benefit (the "Death Benefit") to a beneficiary designated by the Chief
Executive Officer. The 1998 Compensation Agreement substituted the Death
Benefit for two bonus arrangements included in the 1993 Compensation Agreement
that were based on appreciation of the Company's Class A Common Stock from the
date of grant of options to purchase Class B Common Stock to the date of
exercise. The Compensation Subcommittee determined that the after-tax present
value cost to the Company of the Death Benefit was approximately equal to the
cost of the bonuses that would otherwise have been paid. The Company must pay
the Death Benefit within six months from the date of the Chief Executive
Officer's death. Under the terms of the 1998 Compensation Agreement, the Chief
Executive Officer requested that the Company invest portions of the Death
Benefit in certain investments identified by the Chief Executive Officer. The
Company has complied with the Chief Executive Officer's request, and so the
amount of the Death Benefit has been adjusted to reflect the increase or
decrease in value of any such investments. As of December 31, 2001, the amount
of the Death Benefit was $30.5 million.

  Termination. The 1998 Compensation Agreement will terminate upon the Chief
Executive Officer's death, at the Company's option upon his disability, or for
cause (as such terms are defined in the 1998 Compensation Agreement) upon a
vote of not less than two-thirds of the entire membership of the Company's
Board of Directors. If his employment is terminated by reason of his death or
disability, the Company shall continue to pay his annual base salary on a
monthly basis to him, during his lifetime, or to the beneficiary designated by
him for five years, and the Accrued Cash Bonus, the Benefit Plans (as such
terms are defined in the 1998 Compensation Agreement) and the Death Benefit
will continue to be payable in accordance with their terms. In the event of
death, all of his outstanding stock options will vest fully and remain
exercisable for their remaining terms. If his employment is terminated by the
Company in violation of the 1998 Compensation Agreement, he shall remain
entitled to substantially all of the benefits under the 1998 Compensation
Agreement.

  Noncompetition and Confidentiality. Under the 1998 Compensation Agreement,
the Chief Executive Officer has agreed not to compete with the Company during
his employment and for five years after termination of his employment. The
agreement also requires him to maintain the confidentiality of certain
information of the Company, and not to use such information except for the
benefit of the Company, at all times during his employment and after
termination of his employment. Breach of any of such obligations constitutes
cause for termination of the 1998 Compensation Agreement and terminates the
Company's obligations for payments subsequent to any discharge of the Chief
Executive Officer.

  Change of Control Provisions. Prior to any "Change of Control" (as defined
below), the Company must establish and fund a grantor trust, the amounts in
which will be subject to claims of the Company's creditors in the case of the
Company's bankruptcy, for the purpose of paying all deferred compensation,
nonqualified retirement benefits, and split-dollar life insurance premiums and
bonuses for the Chief Executive Officer then applicable. Upon the occurrence
of a Change of Control, such trust must become irrevocable (if not already
irrevocable), and the Company must continue to make payments into such trust
to maintain sufficient amounts therein to fund all benefits subject to the
trust. A "Change of Control" is defined as occurring when persons other than
the Chief Executive Officer and members of his immediate family or trusts for
their benefit acquire more than 50% of the voting power over all outstanding
voting shares of the Company. If the proposed transaction with AT&T Corp. is
approved, the Company will be obligated to establish and fund such a trust in
accordance with the terms of the 1998 Compensation Agreement.

                                      27


  Election to Become a Consultant. The Chief Executive Officer may at any
time, upon 30 days notice to the Company, elect to change his position from
that of an executive to that of consultant to the Company. In such event, he
shall continue to receive all of the compensation provided under the 1998
Compensation Agreement, other than the bonus to which he would otherwise be
entitled under the Company's Executive Cash Bonus Plan. If he elects to become
a consultant, the Chief Executive Officer's entitlement to retirement benefits
under the Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan will be adjusted
annually to reflect 150% of his base salary as a consultant, but his benefits
under such plan will not in any event exceed the bonus he could have received
under the 1998 Compensation Agreement had he continued to work as an
executive.

 Compensation Agreement with Mr. Brian L. Roberts

  The Company entered into a Compensation Agreement (the "Compensation
Agreement") with Brian L. Roberts, the Company's President. The following is a
description of the material terms of the Compensation Agreement.

  Term. The term of the Compensation Agreement is from June 16, 1998 through
June 30, 2003 (the "Employment Period"). Mr. Brian L. Roberts agreed to work
full time for the Company during the Employment Period.

  Base Salary. The Compensation Agreement provides that Mr. Brian L. Roberts
will receive an annual base salary of $1 million beginning in 1998, as
adjusted (but never reduced, except pursuant to an overall plan to reduce the
compensation of all senior executive officers of the Company) from time to
time to reflect his contribution to the growth and success of the Company.

  Bonus; Options. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, Mr. Brian L. Roberts
is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus, payable in cash,
commencing in 1999, of up to 150% of his base salary for the applicable year.
The amount of the bonus is determined annually by the Compensation
Subcommittee, in accordance with, and upon satisfaction of, the standards
contained in the Company's Executive Cash Bonus Plan. Under the terms of the
Compensation Agreement, Mr. Brian L. Roberts also received grants of options
to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Class A Special Common Stock of the Company
granted effective June 16, 1998 and options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
Class A Special Common Stock of the Company granted effective each fiscal
quarter in 1999 and 2000.

  Deferred Compensation. The Compensation Agreement provides that the Company
and Mr. Brian L. Roberts may, by written agreement prior to the end of any
calendar year during the Employment Period, cause the payment of all or a
portion of the compensation payable to Mr. Brian L. Roberts in the subsequent
calendar year to be deferred to a subsequent calendar year in accordance with
and subject to the Company's 1996 Deferred Compensation Plan.

  Termination. The Compensation Agreement will terminate upon the death of Mr.
Brian L. Roberts, at the Company's option upon his disability, or for cause
(as defined in the Compensation Agreement), upon a vote of not less than two-
thirds of the entire membership of the Company's Board of Directors. If his
employment is terminated by reason of his death or disability, the Company
shall continue to pay his annual base salary on a monthly basis to him or his
spouse, during their lifetimes, for a maximum of five years, and the accrued
cash bonus as provided for in the Compensation Agreement and any applicable
health plan benefits will continue to be payable. If his employment is
terminated by the Company in violation of the Compensation Agreement, he shall
remain entitled to substantially all of the benefits under the Compensation
Agreement.

  Noncompetition and Confidentiality. Under the Compensation Agreement, Mr.
Brian L. Roberts agreed not to compete with the Company during his employment
and for two years after termination of his employment. The Agreement also
requires him to maintain the confidentiality of

                                      28


certain information of the Company, and not to use such information except for
the benefit of the Company, at all times during his employment and after
termination of his employment. Breach by Mr. Brian L. Roberts of any of such
obligations constitutes cause for termination of the Compensation Agreement,
and terminates the Company's obligations for payments subsequent to such
termination.

  Term Life Insurance Agreement with Mr. Brian L. Roberts. The Company has
entered into a Term Life Insurance Premium and Tax Bonus Agreement dated as of
September 23, 1998 (the "Term Life Insurance Agreement") with Mr. Brian L.
Roberts. The Term Life Insurance Agreement provides that, as additional
compensation to Mr. Brian L. Roberts, the Company will reimburse him for all
of the premiums on certain specified 20- and 15-year level-premium term life
insurance policies aggregating $170 million in insurance on his life, and that
the Company will pay him an additional bonus equal to the income tax payable
on such reimbursement and the bonus. The annual amount of the premiums to be
reimbursed under the Term Life Insurance Agreement is approximately $189,000
through 2012 and $177,000 from 2013 through 2017. The Term Life Insurance
Agreement does not terminate upon termination of the employment of Mr. Brian
L. Roberts by the Company.

  Change of Control Provisions. Prior to any "Change of Control" (as defined
below), the Company must establish and fund a grantor trust, the amounts in
which will be subject to claims of the Company's creditors in the case of the
Company's bankruptcy, for the purpose of paying all compensation, deferred
compensation and term life insurance premiums and bonuses for Mr. Brian L.
Roberts then applicable. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, such
trust must become irrevocable (if not already irrevocable), and the Company
must continue to make payments into such trust to maintain sufficient amounts
therein to fund all benefits subject to the trust. A "Change of Control" is
defined as occurring when Mr. Brian L. Roberts and members of his immediate
family or trusts for their benefit first cease to beneficially own at least
50% of the voting power of the Company. If the proposed transaction with AT&T
Corp. is approved, the Company will be obligated to establish and fund such a
trust in accordance with the provisions of the Compensation Agreement and the
Term Life Insurance Agreement.

 Employment Agreements with Messrs. Burke and Smith

  The Company has entered into employment agreements with two other named
executive officers of the Company: Stephen B. Burke, an Executive Vice
President of the Company and President of Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.,
and Lawrence S. Smith, an Executive Vice President of the Company. The
following is a description of the material terms of such agreements.

  The term of the agreement with Mr. Burke is from March 15, 2000 through July
31, 2007 and the term of the agreement with Mr. Smith is from May 31, 2000
through December 31, 2005 (each, an "Executive Employment Period"). Mr. Burke
and Mr. Smith each agreed to work full time for the Company during his
Executive Employment Period.

  The agreement with Mr. Burke provides for a base salary of $926,100 in 2001,
and the agreement with Mr. Smith provides for a base salary of $825,000 in
2001. In each case, for each year in the Executive Employment Period
subsequent to 2001 the base salary is increased by the greater of 5% or the
percentage increase during the previous year in the consumer price index.

  Pursuant to the agreements, each of the executives is eligible to receive an
annual performance bonus, commencing in 2000, of up to 50% of his base salary
for the applicable year. The amount of the bonus is determined annually by the
Compensation Subcommittee, based on the performance of the Company and of the
executive during such year, and is payable in cash or in shares of Class A
Special Common Stock of the Company, at the discretion of the Compensation
Subcommittee.

  Each agreement provides that the executive's employment may be terminated
without cause by the Company and that he may resign voluntarily. If the
executive's employment is terminated without

                                      29


cause, he is entitled to receive his then-current base salary and all
insurance, medical or other similar benefits for a period of two years from
the date of discharge, subject to offset by other compensation or benefits
earned by the executive during such period, and he is entitled to receive his
bonus for the year of discharge. If the executive resigns, or is terminated
for cause (as defined in the agreement), he is entitled only to his base
salary for days actually worked and any amounts due to him under the Company's
1996 Deferred Compensation Plan.

  Under each of the agreements, the executive agreed not to compete with the
Company during his employment and for one year after termination of his
employment. The agreements also require each executive to maintain the
confidentiality of certain information of the Company, and not to use such
information, except for the benefit of the Company, at all times during his
employment and for a period of one year after termination of his employment.
Breach by the executive of any of such obligations constitutes cause for
termination of the applicable agreement, and terminates the Company's
obligations for payments subsequent to any discharge of the executive. Each of
the agreements provides that it shall continue in effect upon the merger of
the Company into another entity, or in similar events.

Stock Performance Graph

  The following graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative
total shareholder return on each of the Company's Class A Common Stock and
Class A Special Common Stock during the five years ended December 31, 2001
with the cumulative total return on the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and
with a selected peer group consisting of the Company and four other companies
engaged in the cable communications industry: Cablevision Systems Corporation
(Class A), Adelphia Communications Corporation, Cox Communications, Inc. and
Charter Communications, Inc. (Class A) ("Charter"). This peer group (the
"Current Peer Group") represents a change from the peer group used for
comparison by the Company in the prior year (the "Prior Peer Group") in that
the Prior Peer Group did not include Charter. Charter was added to the Current
Peer Group because of the Company's belief that Charter is in a line of
business similar to that of the Company and that a comparison of the
performance of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class A Special Common
Stock against the performance of a peer group that includes Charter is a
meaningful comparison that would be helpful to a person making an investment
decision with respect to the Company's Class A Common Stock or Class A Special
Common Stock. Charter became a public company on November 9, 1999. The
comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 1996 in the Company's
Class A Common Stock and Class A Special Common Stock and in each of the
foregoing indices and assumes the reinvestment of dividends.

Report on Executive Compensation

  This report is issued jointly by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the "Committee") and the Compensation Subcommittee. The Committee
is generally responsible for making broad recommendations to the Board of
Directors on executive compensation. However, authority on virtually all
specific compensation decisions for the Company's executive officers has been
delegated to the Compensation Subcommittee, including matters such as
establishing performance-based criteria and goals for compensation to senior
executives, administering the Company's equity incentive plans and bonus
plans, and approving agreements with the Chief Executive Officer and the other
executive officers. The members of the Compensation Subcommittee are
disinterested non-employee directors as well as "outside directors" (as
defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code).

  Compensation Policy. The primary goal of the Committee and the Compensation
Subcommittee in their determinations regarding compensation matters is to
attract and retain highly qualified executive officers and key employees in an
effort to enhance shareholder value. The Company attempts to realize this goal
by providing competitive compensation and permitting executive officers to
take an ownership stake in the Company commensurate with their relative levels
of seniority and responsibility.

                                      31


  The Committee performs a general review each year of the Company's executive
compensation. The current compensation structure for the named executive
officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) resulted from a
comprehensive review of the compensation of the Company's President and other
executives, which culminated in the Compensation Subcommittee's authorization
and direction to management in early 2000 to seek to enter into five-year
employment agreements containing non-competition provisions with all executive
officers. This objective was successfully implemented. Such agreements did
not, however, substantially alter the Committee's general goal to provide the
executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) with total
compensation that, based on individual and Company performance viewed over an
appropriate period of time, was generally between the 50th and 75th percentile
of total compensation for executives with comparable positions at peer
companies. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, compensation has
historically been determined, as discussed below, by an individualized
assessment of his performance and by comparison to executives of other
companies who have been "founders" (i.e., the persons most responsible for
extraordinary growth and success at their companies, regardless of industry),
and is currently governed largely by the terms of the 1993 Compensation
Agreement and the 1998 Compensation Agreement.

  The total compensation of the Company's executive officers, including the
Chief Executive Officer, is primarily determined pursuant to their employment
and compensation agreements and awards under the Executive Cash Bonus Plan,
the 1996 Stock Option Plan and, for certain executives, split-dollar life
insurance policies and term insurance policies. The Company seeks to achieve a
mix of these various forms of compensation which will properly compensate and
motivate its executives on an individual basis commensurate with their
relative levels of seniority and responsibility. A variety of factors are
considered in arriving at the amount and mix of compensation paid or awarded
to the Company's executive officers. A key factor in the assessment of the
compensation of the Company's executive officers is the Company's overall
performance, in light of their principal responsibility for overall corporate
policy-making, management and administration; however, no specific weighting
was assigned to any of the factors considered in determining the remuneration
paid or awarded to the named executive officers for 2001.

  The Committee believes that the Company's most direct competitors for
executive talent are comprised of a broader range of companies than those with
which the Company would ordinarily be compared for stock performance purposes.
Thus, the compensation comparison group also included companies that are not
included in the peer group index in the stock performance graph above.

  Base Salary. The Company's philosophy with respect to setting base salary is
generally to compensate its executive officers with reasonable current income
on a competitive basis. The base salary of the Chief Executive Officer was
increased by 6.2% and the other executive officers were increased by 5.0% to
9.7% in 2001 pursuant to the terms of their compensation or employment
agreements with the Company in effect at the beginning of 2001.

  Bonuses. Since 1996, annual cash bonuses for executive officers are
primarily determined under the shareholder-approved Executive Cash Bonus Plan,
which had been recommended by an independent compensation consultant. Under
the Executive Cash Bonus Plan, each executive designated by the Compensation
Subcommittee is eligible to earn an annual bonus of up to 150% of the sum of
his or her base salary and any unearned target bonus from any prior plan year,
but not more than $3 million, based on annual cash flow performance targets
established in advance by the Compensation Subcommittee. The Compensation
Subcommittee selected increases in cash flow as the single most significant
measure of operating performance of the Company and other companies in the
Company's industries. The target bonus for each of the named executive
officers is based on the Compensation Subcommittee's assessment of the optimal
mix of base and incentive cash compensation. In 2001, the target bonus for Mr.
Brian L. Roberts was 150%, and the target bonuses for the

                                      32


Company's other named executive officers were 50%. Based on the Company's cash
flow for such period, 100% of the target bonuses were earned for 2001 under
the plan.

  Equity-Based Incentive Compensation. The Company's equity-based incentive
compensation is in the form of stock option grants. The Compensation
Subcommittee believes that reliance upon such incentives is advantageous to
the Company because it fosters a long-term commitment by the recipients to the
Company and motivates these executives to seek to improve the long-term market
performance of the Company's stock. The Committee seeks to achieve these long-
term objectives in part by extending the period of time in which the options
vest over a longer period than is the case with many other companies. In the
most recent group of options granted to executives during 2001, approximately
half of each optionee's options vest over five years and the balance vests
over a period of nine years and six months. Stock options produce value to
executives only if the price of the Company's stock appreciates, thereby
directly linking the interests of the executives with those of the Company's
shareholders. The Compensation Subcommittee awarded stock options in 2001 to
the Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers. In
general, such option grants were based on a proportional relationship to the
expected cash compensation of the option recipients, taking into account prior
option grants and grants made at the same time to other executives of the
Company; in the case of the Chief Executive Officer and Brian L. Roberts, the
Company's President, grants were in part based on other factors relating to
their respective contributions to the Company, such as those described under
"Compensation of Chief Executive Officer," below. The Committee, in part,
based its grant of options to a large group of executives in July of 2001 on
the advice of an independent compensation consultant.

  Equity Ownership Policy. The Company's Board of Directors has maintained a
minimum equity ownership policy since 1998, applicable to substantially all
officers of the Company with base salaries in excess of $150,000, as well as
to directors. Officers and directors subject to the policy may not sell shares
of Common Stock of the Company unless, following such sale, they continue to
own at least an amount of Common Stock with a value equal to a multiple of
their annual base compensation from the Company. The Chief Executive Officer,
as well as Mr. Brian L. Roberts, the Company's President, and all non-employee
directors, are required to own shares with a value of five times base
compensation; other officers are required to own shares with a value of one
and one-half to four times their base compensation, depending on base
compensation. Based on their current base compensation, each of the other
named executive officers is required under the policy to own shares with a
value of four times his base compensation. For purposes of the policy, shares
owned by an applicable person's spouse and children, shares owned pursuant to
the Company's 1997 Deferred Stock Option Plan or the Company's 2001 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan and 60% of the value of an applicable person's vested in-
the-money stock options are considered owned by such person. The Board of
Directors has determined that such policy serves to align more fully the
interests of management under the Company's equity-based incentive
compensation programs with the interests of the Company's shareholders.

  Compensation of Chief Executive Officer. The Company's by-laws do not
provide for a "Chief Executive Officer" of the Company. The Committee
considers that, for 2001, Mr. Ralph J. Roberts, the Chairman of the Company's
Board of Directors, was its chief executive officer for purposes of this Proxy
Statement.

  The Chief Executive Officer's compensation for 2001 was determined under the
terms of the 1993 Compensation Agreement and the 1998 Compensation Agreement.
See "Agreements with Executive Officers--Compensation Agreement with the Chief
Executive Officer." The levels of compensation provided under the 1993
Compensation Agreement and the 1998 Compensation Agreement were determined
when such agreements were entered into or amended based on a review by the
Committee and the Compensation Subcommittee and an independent compensation
consultant of compensation levels of chief executive officers at other
companies in comparable industries and of certain chief

                                      33


executive officers in other industries who, like Mr. Ralph J. Roberts, were
founders of companies and the persons primarily responsible for the growth of
such companies over a substantial period of time. The Committee and
Compensation Subcommittee also took into account an assessment of the
importance of maintaining the continued active participation of the Chief
Executive Officer in the Company's affairs over the periods covered by the
1993 Compensation Agreement and the 1998 Compensation Agreement, the Company's
growth and overall performance during the ten years prior to 1993 and during
the period from 1993 to 1998, and the Chief Executive Officer's prior
compensation levels during those periods. Generally, other than as stated
above, the Committee and the Compensation Subcommittee did not consider
specific performance measures in approving the 1993 Compensation Agreement and
the 1998 Compensation Agreement.

  The Chief Executive Officer's compensation in 2001 consisted of the salary
and benefits fixed by the 1998 Compensation Agreement, awards of options to
purchase a total of 1,100,000 shares of Class A Special Common Stock, and
split-dollar life insurance benefits. One award of options to purchase 600,000
shares was made in 2001 based on the proportional relationship to the Chief
Executive Officer's expected cash compensation for the year, also taking into
account prior option grants and grants made at the same time to other
executive officers of the Company. In addition, based on its review and
consideration of a prior award of options to purchase 250,000 shares made to
the Chief Executive Officer in 2000, his compensation relative to that
provided to comparable executives at other companies in the industry, the
grants then made to other Company executive officers, the Company's financial
and operating performance in 2000, and the very high level of service provided
by the Chief Executive Officer to the Company and his involvement in several
large capital transactions and complex strategic transactions in 2000, the
Committee determined that the option award in 2000 had been, under all the
circumstances, substantially insufficient and, having obtained the advice of
an independent compensation consultant that such an additional award would be
reasonable, authorized the additional award of options to purchase 500,000
shares to the Chief Executive Officer. The split-dollar life insurance
benefits were originally granted to the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to
the 1993 Compensation Agreement to replace cash bonus plan entitlements, which
were terminated in connection therewith; additional split-dollar benefits were
provided in the 1998 Compensation Agreement to the Chief Executive Officer and
his spouse.

  The Compensation Subcommittee in 2001 also approved the modification of the
terms of two death benefit arrangements relating to the Chief Executive
Officer, one in the 1998 Compensation Agreement and one in the Company's
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). Under the former, upon death
while still employed, his salary would be paid to his surviving spouse for a
maximum of five years; this was amended to allow the Chief Executive Officer
to designate one or more beneficiaries to receive his salary for five years.
Under the SERP, his death benefit in the event of death while employed would
have been an annual pension as if he had retired at that time and elected a
joint 100% survivor pension, to which his spouse would be entitled until her
death; this was amended to permit one or more beneficiaries to receive the
pension until his spouse's death or, if she does not survive him, for five
years. The Compensation Subcommittee believed that the change was consistent
with the original purpose of the Death Benefit and was a reasonable
accommodation to the Chief Executive Officer to permit him greater flexibility
in estate planning.

  Effect of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code provides that certain compensation in excess of $1
million paid to the chief executive officer and the other four most highly
compensated executive officers of a public company (determined as of the last
day of the company's tax year) will not be deductible for federal income tax
purposes. A portion of the compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer
under the 1993 Compensation Agreement and the 1998 Compensation Agreement will
not or may not be deductible under Section 162(m) to the extent it is paid
during the course of his employment as an executive officer of the Company.
The amount of compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer in 2001 that is
expected to be nondeductible to the

                                      34


Company is approximately $1,353,000. In addition, approximately $693,000 of
the compensation paid in 2001 to Mr. Brian L. Roberts, the Company's
President, is also expected to be nondeductible under Section 162(m), due
principally to the payment of amounts to cover premiums on term life insurance
policies and bonuses related to income tax liabilities arising therefrom, the
payment of amounts with respect to income tax obligations arising upon the
exercise of certain stock options and other incidental taxable fringe
benefits, the fair market value of all of which was considered non-
performance-based compensation for tax purposes in 2001. The Compensation
Subcommittee engages in an ongoing review of the Company's compensation
practices for purposes of obtaining the maximum continued deductibility of
compensation paid by the Company consistent with its existing commitments and
ongoing competitive needs. While the tax impact of any compensation
arrangement is one factor to be considered, such impact is evaluated in light
of the Committee's overall compensation philosophy. From time to time the
Committee may award compensation which is not fully deductible if the
Committee determines that such award is consistent with its philosophy and in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

                        HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

  If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of Company
stock in street name, your broker or financial institution may have sent you a
notice that your household will receive only one annual report and proxy
statement for each company in which you hold stock through that broker or
financial institution. This practice of sending only one copy of proxy
material is known as "householding." If you received a notice and did not
respond that you did not want to participate in householding, you were deemed
to have consented to the process. In such case, your broker will send one copy
of this document to your address. For voting purposes, a separate proxy card
