ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) announced today the results of the offer by its subsidiaries, CCHC, LLC (“CCHC”) and CCH II, LLC and CCH II Capital Corp. (collectively, “CCH II” and, together with CCHC, the “Offerors”) to exchange (the “Convertible Exchange Offer”) up to $450.0 million of Charter’s 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2009 (“Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Exchange Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 8, 2006. As of the expiration of the Convertible Exchange Offer, $499.9 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes were validly tendered. The Company has accepted $450.0 million of the Convertible Notes tendered for exchange, representing approximately 52.2% of the total principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding.
Since the amount of Convertible Notes tendered exceeded the maximum amount of Convertible Notes that the Offerors would accept, the Offerors pro rated the amount of Convertible Notes accepted from participating holders as described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus. The Offerors accepted 90.0% of the amount tendered by each holder and unaccepted amounts will be promptly returned to holders. Following the consummation of the Convertible Exchange Offer, $412.5 million of Convertible Notes will remain outstanding. Charter expects the settlement date to be September 14, 2006.
The press release announcing the results is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
