Pursuant to the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Charter Communications, Inc. (the "Company") and its affiliated Debtors, dated May 7, 2009, as amended (the "Plan"), Paul G. Allen is entitled to appoint four of the eleven members of the reorganized Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), and such members are entitled to continue to serve on the Board until at least the first annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, which meeting is not to take place prior to the one year anniversary of the effective date of the Plan. The Plan was confirmed by order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on November 17, 2009 and became effective on November 30, 2009 (the "Effective Date"). On the Effective Date, Mr. Allen appointed the following four individuals to serve on the Board: W. Lance Conn, John D. Markley, Jr., Christopher M. Temple and William L. McGrath. In addition to Mr. Allen's rights under the Plan, as holder of the Company's Class B Common Stock, and for so long as the Class B Common Stock remains outstanding, in all elections of directors, Mr. Allen is entitled to elect 35% of the members of the Board (rounded up to the next whole number). Mr. McGrath is currently an employee of Vulcan Inc., which is owned by Mr. Allen. Messrs. Conn and Temple were former employees of Vulcan Inc. but resigned from their positions in May 2009 and December 2009, respectively.
