The Exchange Offer was for any and all of Charter’s

million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes
will remain outstanding. In the aggregate, Charter will issue $479
million principal amount of New Convertible Notes.
On the settlement date, which the Company expects to be October 2, 2007,

expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or
realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and
assumptions including, without limitation, the factors described under "Risk
Factors” from time to time in our filings

our ability to be able to provide under the applicable debt
instruments such funds (by dividend, investment or otherwise) to the
applicable obligor of such debt; our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and
credit facilities, any violation of which could trigger a default of
our other obligations under cross-default provisions; our ability to pay or refinance debt prior to or when it becomes
due and/or refinance that debt through new issuances, exchange offers
or otherwise, including restructuring our balance sheet and leverage
position; competition from other distributors, including incumbent telephone
companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband
providers and DSL providers; difficulties in introducing and operating our telephone services,
such as our ability to adequately meet customer expectations for the
reliability of voice services, and our ability to adequately meet
demand for installations and customer service; our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from
operating activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone
and other services, and to maintain and grow our customer base,
particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition; our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to
adequately raise prices to offset the effects of higher programming
