*The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

(1) The Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2015, as amended (the “Stockholders Agreement”), by and among Charter Communications, Inc. (“Legacy Charter”), CCH I, LLC (now known as Charter Communications, Inc., the “Issuer” or “Charter”), Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“A/N”) and Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband” or the “Reporting Person”) contains provisions relating to the ownership and voting of the Issuer’s Class A common stock by the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person expressly disclaims the existence of any membership in a group with A/N.

(2) Subject to certain restrictions contained in the Stockholders Agreement. See Item 6.

(3) As of August 6, 2020, includes 3,636,715 of the 5,358,401 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of GCI Liberty, Inc. (“GCI Liberty”), which are subject to the Proxy and Right of First Refusal Agreement, dated May 23, 2015, as amended, by and between the Reporting Person and Liberty Interactive Corporation (now known as Qurate Retail, Inc., “LIC”), which was assigned to and assumed by GCI Liberty pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated March 9, 2018, by and

2

among Liberty Broadband, LIC, LV Bridge, LLC and GCI Liberty (the “GCI Liberty Proxy/ROFR Agreement”), pursuant to which GCI Liberty granted an irrevocable proxy to the Reporting Person to vote all shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock beneficially owned by GCI Liberty (such shares, as may be temporarily reduced in the event that the proxy would cause Liberty Broadband’s voting interest in the Issuer to exceed Liberty Broadband’s voting cap set forth in the Stockholders Agreement (see Item 6), the “GCI Liberty Proxy Shares”), subject to certain limitations, and a right of first refusal over transfers of any and all of the shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock beneficially owned by GCI Liberty in certain circumstances.

(4) As of August 6, 2020, does not include any shares of Class A common stock (including on an as-converted and as-exchanged basis) owned by A/N subject to the Proxy and Right of First Refusal Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2016, by and among the Reporting Person, A/N and for limited purposes, Legacy Charter and the Issuer (the “A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement”). Pursuant to the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement, A/N granted Liberty Broadband a 5-year irrevocable proxy to vote, subject to certain limitations, up to that number of shares of Class A common stock and the share of Class B common stock of the Issuer (which entitles A/N to vote on any matter submitted for a vote of the holders of Class A common stock such number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock into which the Common Units (as defined below) and convertible preferred units of Charter Holdco (as defined below) held by A/N and its affiliates are convertible or exchangeable, as applicable, in each case, assuming only shares of Class A common stock are delivered upon conversion or exchange) held by A/N (such shares, the “Proxy Shares”), that, combined with shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock owned by the Reporting Person and shares it has the right to vote pursuant to the GCI Liberty Proxy/ROFR Agreement, result in Liberty Broadband having voting power in the Issuer equal to 25.01% of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer; provided, that the number of Proxy Shares is capped at a number of shares having not more than 7.0% of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer. As of August 6, 2020, Liberty Broadband had voting power in the Issuer equal to 25.01% through its ownership of shares of Class A common stock and the GCI Liberty Proxy Shares. As a result, the number of Proxy Shares is zero and Liberty Broadband does not have the right to vote any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement, in each case as of August 6, 2020. The number of Proxy Shares will vary from time to time based upon, among other things, the number of shares and voting power of the Issuer outstanding from time to time, the number of GCI Liberty Proxy Shares, the number of shares repurchased by the Issuer including from A/N pursuant to the previously disclosed letter agreement between Charter and A/N, dated December 21, 2017 (the “A/N-Charter Letter Agreement”), referred to herein and the number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock owned by the Reporting Person. However, the maximum voting power of the Proxy Shares is subject to a cap of 7.0% of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer from time to time. A/N also granted to Liberty Broadband a right of first refusal, in certain circumstances, for the five year term of the A/N Proxy/ROFR Agreement over all of the first and last common units (the “Common Units” which are exchangeable into shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock) of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (“Charter Holdco”) or all of the shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock issued upon exchange of Common Units), proposed to be transferred by A/N that, in each case, represent 7.0% of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer calculated immediately following the completion of the Issuer’s acquisition of Bright House Networks, LLC on May 18, 2016.

(5) For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person, the total number of shares of Class A common stock deemed outstanding is 230,884,005, which amount includes (i) 204,899,176 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock reported as outstanding as of June 30, 2020 by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on July 31, 2020 and (ii) 25,984,829 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock into which Common Units and preferred units of Charter Holdco are convertible or exchangeable, based on Amendment No. 5 to A/N’s Schedule 13D filed on February 5, 2020 and A/N’s Form 4 filed on July 8, 2020.

Ms. Frist disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of her pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this Amendment shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose.

The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 54,107,375 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it and has the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares, subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The Reporting Person has the shared power to vote or to direct the voting of 3,636,715 shares of Common Stock and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares subject to the following qualifications:

(i) such 3,636,715 shares of Common Stock are owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of GCI Liberty, and such shares are subject to the Proxy and Right of First Refusal Agreement, dated May 23, 2015 (the “LIC Proxy/ROFR Agreement”), by and between the Reporting Person and Liberty Interactive Corporation (now known as Qurate Retail, Inc.

The Merger Agreement

On August 6, 2020, Liberty Broadband entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among GCI Liberty, Liberty Broadband, Grizzly Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Broadband (“Merger LLC”), and Grizzly Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger LLC (“Merger Sub”).  The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain specified conditions set forth therein, (i) the merger of Merger Sub with and into GCI Liberty (the “Merger”), with GCI Liberty surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger LLC, and (ii) immediately following the Merger, the merger of GCI Liberty (as the surviving corporation in the Merger) with and into Merger LLC (the “Upstream Merger”, and together with the Merger, the “Combination”), with Merger LLC surviving the Upstream Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Broadband.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) each share of Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GCI Liberty (the “GLIB Series A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (except for shares held by GCI Liberty as treasury stock) will be converted into the right to receive 0.580 of a share of Series C common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Liberty Broadband (the “LBRD Series C Common Stock”), plus cash (without interest) in lieu of any fractional shares of LBRD Series C Common Stock (the “Series A Consideration”), (ii) each share of Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GCI Liberty (the “GLIB Series B Common Stock” and, together with the GLIB Series A Common Stock, the “GLIB Common Stock”) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (except for shares held by GCI Liberty as treasury stock, and for shares of GLIB Series B Common Stock to which the holder thereof properly demands, and does not withdraw its demand for or otherwise lose its right to, appraisal of such shares) will be converted into the right to receive 0.580 of a share of Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Liberty Broadband (the “LBRD Series B Common Stock”), plus cash (without interest) in lieu of any fractional shares of LBRD Series B Common Stock (the “Series B Consideration” and, together with the Series A Consideration, the “Common Consideration”) and (iii) each share of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share,

of GCI Liberty (the “GLIB Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for shares held by GCI Liberty as treasury stock) will be converted into the right to receive a share of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, to be issued by Liberty Broadband (the “LBRD Preferred Stock”) (the “Preferred Consideration” and, together with the Common Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). The LBRD Preferred Stock will have substantially identical terms to the GLIB Preferred Stock, including a mandatory redemption date of March 8, 2039. At the closing of the Combination, (i) former holders of the GLIB Common Stock are expected to own in the aggregate shares of LBRD Series C Common Stock and LBRD Series B Common Stock representing approximately 30.6% of the total number of outstanding shares of Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Liberty Broadband (the “LBRD Series A Common Stock”), LBRD Series B Common Stock and LBRD Series C Common Stock, (ii) former holders of the GLIB Preferred Stock will own in the aggregate all outstanding shares of LBRD Preferred Stock and (iii) former holders of GLIB Common Stock and GLIB Preferred Stock are expected to own, in the aggregate, approximately 16.7% of the voting power of Liberty Broadband.  The foregoing percentages are based on approximately 26.5 million shares of LBRD Series A Common Stock, approximately 2.5 million shares of LBRD Series B Common Stock and approximately 153.0 million shares of LBRD Series C Common Stock outstanding as of July 15, 2020 and approximately 101.3 million shares of GLIB Series A Common Stock and approximately 4.5 million shares of GLIB Series B Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2020 and approximately 7.2 million shares of GLIB Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2020.

The closing of the Combination is subject to certain mutual conditions, including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of GCI Liberty entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class; (2) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of GCI Liberty entitled to vote thereon not owned by John C. Malone (“Mr. Malone”) and certain other persons, voting together as a single class (i.e., a majority of the minority vote) (which condition may not be waived); (3) the approval of the stock issuances contemplated by the Merger Agreement and an Exchange Agreement, made and entered into on August 6, 2020, by and among Mr. Malone, a revocable trust of which Mr. Malone is the sole trustee and beneficiary and Liberty Broadband, by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Broadband capital stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, voting together as a single class; (4) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Broadband entitled to vote thereon not owned by Mr. Malone and certain other persons, voting together as a single class (i.e., a majority of the minority vote) (which condition may not be waived); (5) any required approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, in respect of the Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (6) any required approvals of the United States Federal Communications Commission and the Regulatory Commission of Alaska in respect of the Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (7) the absence of any order or law that has the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the closing of the Combination or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related transaction documents; (8) the approval for listing of the shares of LBRD Series C Common Stock and LBRD Preferred Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the effectiveness under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Merger Consideration shares to be issued; and (9) the delivery of an opinion by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP to GCI Liberty to the effect that the Combination will not impact the tax treatment of the 2018 split-off of GCI Liberty by LIC.  The respective obligation of each party to consummate the Combination is also conditioned upon (x) the delivery of an opinion from such party’s tax counsel to the effect that the Combination will qualify as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (y) the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality and material adverse effect qualifications), and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement and (z) the absence of a material adverse effect on such party.

From the execution of the Merger Agreement, for purposes of the Stockholders Agreement, GCI Liberty’s shares of Common Stock will be included in Liberty Broadband’s equity cap.  Effective upon the closing of the Combination, Liberty Broadband will beneficially own the shares of Common Stock currently beneficially owned by GCI Liberty.
