Neutral Impact 4 of 5 financing Written later

On August 12, 2026, Charter Communications Operating, LLC and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. issued $1,686,285,000 of 7.087% senior secured notes due 2038 and $1,627,538,000 of 7.337% senior secured notes due 2041 in the early settlement of exchange offers launched July 23, 2026. The notes are secured by the same assets that secure the company's credit agreement, and the indenture limits the issuers' ability to grant liens, sell substantially all assets, or merge. The filing shows new secured debt issued in connection with the exchange offers, but it does not state net changes to total debt or cash proceeds.
