The Total Offer
Consideration for the Notes validly tendered prior to or at the
applicable Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase is
calculated using the Fixed Spread.

Per $1,000 principal
amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or
prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for
purchase.

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validly withdrawn exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Amount, any such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

Corporation by facsimile to (for Eligible Institutions only) (212)

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a
solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes. The Tender Offer is
made only by the Offer to Purchase and the information in this
press release is qualified by reference to the Offer to Purchase.
Neither Charter, the Company or its affiliates, their respective

principal amount of Notes to tender.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy any securities.
