Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The information contained in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) The Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 76,661,587 shares of Common Stock.  The 76,661,587 shares of Common Stock constitute 25.01% of the 306,523,735 shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding for purposes of this Amendment, which amount includes (i) approximately 268.8 million shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock reported as outstanding by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 28, 2016, and (ii) 37,723,735 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock into which the Class B common units (the “Common Units”) and convertible preferred units (the “Preferred Units”) of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC are convertible or exchangeable. Dr. John C. Malone beneficially owns 564 unvested restricted shares of Common Stock. Mr. Gregory B. Maffei beneficially owns 997 unvested restricted shares of Common Stock. Mr. J. David Wargo beneficially owns 25,045 shares of Common Stock held in various accounts managed by Mr. Wargo, as to which shares Mr. Wargo has disclaimed beneficial ownership.

 

(b) The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 54,072,264 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it and has the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares, subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The Reporting Person has the shared power to vote or to direct the voting of 22,589,323 shares of Common Stock and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares subject to the following qualifications:

 

(i) 5,358,401 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock are owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Liberty Interactive Corporation (“LIC”) which are subject to the Proxy and Right of First Refusal Agreement, dated May 23, 2015, as amended, by and between the Reporting Person and LIC (the “LIC Proxy/ROFR Agreement”), pursuant to which LIC granted an irrevocable proxy to the Reporting Person to vote all shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock beneficially owned by LIC, subject to certain limitations, and a right of first refusal over transfers of the Common Stock in certain circumstances; and

 

(ii)  17,230,922 shares of Common Stock are owned by A/N on an as-converted and as-exchanged basis subject to the Proxy and Right of First Refusal Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2016, by and among the Reporting Person, A/N and for limited purposes, Legacy Charter and the Issuer (the “A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement”).  Pursuant to the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement, A/N granted the Reporting Person a 5-year irrevocable proxy to vote, subject to certain limitations, up to that number of shares of Common Stock and the share of Class B common stock of the Issuer (which entitles A/N to vote on any matter submitted for a vote of the holders of Common Stock such number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Common Units and Preferred Units held by A/N and its affiliates are convertible or exchangeable, as applicable, in each case, assuming only shares of Common Stock are delivered upon conversion or exchange) held by A/N (such shares, the “Proxy Shares”), that, combined with shares owned by the Reporting Person and shares it has the right to vote pursuant to the LIC Proxy/ROFR Agreement, result in the Reporting Person having voting power of the Issuer equal to 25.01% of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer; provided, that the number of Proxy Shares will be capped at a number of shares having not more than 7.0% of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer.  The number of Proxy Shares will vary from time to time based upon, among other things, the number of shares and voting power of the Issuer outstanding from time to time, the number of shares subject to the LIC Proxy/ROFR Agreement, the number of shares repurchased by the Issuer including from A/N pursuant to the Repurchase Arrangement and the number of shares of the Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

The information contained in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

 

Letter Agreement

 

On December 23, 2016, Charter and A/N entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) providing for the Exchange, the Initial Repurchase and the Repurchase Arrangement (each as defined below).

 

Initial Repurchase

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, on December 28, 2016, Charter and A/N completed a series of transactions whereby (i) A/N exchanged $537 million of Common Units for shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange”) and (ii) A/N sold 752,767 Common Units to Charter at a price per unit of $289.8266 (the “Initial Repurchase”).  The number of Common Units sold by A/N represent its pro rata share of all repurchases of Common Stock by Charter since September 12, 2016.  The Initial Repurchase was subject to Liberty’s right of first refusal pursuant to the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement, which Liberty waived pursuant to the Waiver Letter (as defined below).

 

As a result of the Initial Repurchase and repurchases of outstanding shares of Common Stock by Charter, the number of shares of Common Stock representing Proxy Shares decreased to 17,230,922 shares, which, when combined with (i) 54,072,264 shares of Common Stock owned by Liberty and (ii) 5,358,401 shares of Common Stock Liberty has the right to vote pursuant to the LIC Proxy/ROFR Agreement, represents 25.01% of the outstanding voting power of Charter in accordance with the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement.

 

Repurchase Arrangement

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, A/N is obligated to sell to Charter, on a monthly basis, a number of shares of Common Stock or Common Units representing A/N’s pro rata amount of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by Charter in the previous calendar month (other than from A/N), at a price per share equal to the average price paid by Charter for such repurchased shares during such previous calendar month (the “Repurchase Arrangement”).

 

Each sale required to be effected by A/N in connection with the Repurchase Arrangement will be subject to the right of first refusal of Liberty. No later than fifteen days following the receipt by A/N of a repurchase notice from Charter, A/N will provide Liberty with a notice (the “ROFR Notice”) pursuant to the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement, setting forth, among other things, the number of shares A/N is obligated to sell to Charter and the price per share at which such shares may instead be purchased by Liberty, which price shall equal the volume weighted

average trading price for the two full trading days immediately prior to the date Liberty receives such ROFR Notice. Pursuant to the A/N Proxy ROFR Agreement, Liberty must notify A/N of (i) its intention to exercise its right of first refusal and (ii) the number of shares Liberty has elected to purchase pursuant to its right of first refusal within three days of the receipt of such ROFR Notice. The number of shares of Common Stock to be repurchased by Charter from A/N for the applicable monthly period will equal the number of shares A/N is obligated to sell to Charter for such period minus the number of shares purchased by Liberty from A/N pursuant to its right of first refusal.

 

Each of A/N and Charter may terminate or suspend the Repurchase Arrangement at any time after the aggregate purchase price for the repurchases of shares of Common Stock or Common Units from A/N by Charter has reached $537 million.

 

The foregoing summary of the Letter Agreement is qualified by reference to the full text of such document, which document is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to Charter’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-33664), filed with the SEC on December 28, 2016.

 

Waiver Letter

 

On December 23, 2016, Liberty entered into a waiver letter (the “Waiver Letter”) with Charter and A/N.

 

Pursuant to the Waiver Letter, Liberty waived its right of first refusal with respect to the Common Units sold by A/N to Charter in connection with the Initial Repurchase.

 

In addition, the Waiver Letter provides that to the extent that Liberty elects to exercise its right of first refusal with respect to any shares of Common Stock or Common Units to be sold by A/N to Charter pursuant to the Repurchase Arrangement, Charter and A/N will cause the number of shares of Common Stock as to which Liberty has exercised its right of first refusal to be acquired directly from Charter in exchange for a cash payment in an amount equal to the cash payment required to be made pursuant to the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement.  Charter has further agreed to treat such purchase of shares of Common Stock by Liberty as if it were an acquisition of shares pursuant to a Preemptive Share Purchase (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement).

 

Each of Charter and A/N has agreed to not amend or modify the terms of the Letter Agreement, including but not limited to the terms of the Repurchase Arrangement, without the prior written consent of Liberty.

 

The foregoing summary of the Waiver Letter is qualified by reference to the full text of such document, which document is incorporated herein by reference and included as an exhibit to this Statement.
