Charter Announces Tender Offer for Debt SecuritiesSTAMFORD, Conn., April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) (along with its subsidiaries, "Charter") today announced that its subsidiaries, CCO Holdings, LLC and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. (collectively, "CCO Holdings"), intend to use the net proceeds from its previously announced offer of $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2023 and 2025 (the "offering") to finance tender offers by CCO Holdings (the "tender offer"). In the tender offer, CCO Holdings is offering to purchase any and all of its outstanding 7.250% senior notes due 2017 (the "2017 Notes") and 8.125% senior notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes" and, together with the 2017 Notes, the "Notes").
The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m. New York City time, on April 20, 2015(the "Expiration Time"), unless extended or earlier terminated with respect to any series of Notes. Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Expiration Time. We expect to make payments for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Time, and accepted for purchase, either one business day following the Expiration Time (the "Settlement Date"), or, in the case of Notes tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures, three business days following the Expiration Time. Accrued interest up to, but not including, the Settlement Date will be paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Notes. The consummation of the tender offer is conditioned upon consummation of the offering. The tender offer is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase referred to below. We currently expect, but are under no obligation, to redeem any Notes not purchased in the tender offer following completion of the tender offer. The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are set forth in an Offer to Purchase that is being sent to holders of 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes. Holders are urged to read this document carefully before making any decision with respect to the tender offer. Holders of 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes must make their own decisions as to whether to tender their Notes, and if they decide to do so, the principal amount of the Notes to tender.
