Charter adds Cox entities as guarantors and collateral providers on its secured debt
Following the August 19, 2026 closing of the Cox transaction, Cox entities became guarantors of and granted liens on assets securing Charter's debt, as well as several Cox note indentures. Under the filing, secured notes across the combined Charter and Cox capital structure now share the same collateral and obligors on a pari passu basis, which changes the security package behind existing debt rather than adding new borrowing.
Key points
- On August 19, 2026, Charter completed the Transaction with Cox Enterprises, acquiring Cox's commercial fiber and managed IT and cloud services businesses.

- Supplemental indentures dated August 24, 2026 add guarantors to the CCO, Cox, TWC and TWCE indentures, with The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee.
- The filing does not state a new principal amount of debt or a dollar figure for the guarantees.
