Item 5. Other Events.
Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE") files this Report on Form
8-K to report that MediaOne Group, Inc.'s ("MediaOne") management and govern-
ance rights over all of TWE's businesses have terminated, as described below.
This reduction in governance rights will result in Time Warner Inc. consolida-
ting TWE's operating results and financial position for accounting purposes,
which is expected to occur no later than the third quarter of this year.
On August 3, 1999, TWE received a notice (the "Termination Notice") from
MediaOne, a holder of a limited partnership interest in TWE, concerning the
termination of MediaOne's covenant not to compete with TWE. The termination of
that covenant is necessary for MediaOne to complete its merger with AT&T Corp.
As a result of the Termination Notice and the operation of the Partnership
Agreement governing TWE, MediaOne's governance and management rights have
terminated immediately and irrevocably to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 5.5(f) of the TWE Partnership Agreement. As a result, MediaOne no
longer has a vote on or any right to participate in the Cable Management
Committee described on page I-21 of TWE's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998, and its representatives serving on TWE's
Board of Representatives no longer have the right to vote on any matter
pertaining to any of TWE's businesses. MediaOne retains certain protective
governance rights on the TWE Board of Representatives pertaining to certain
limited matters affecting TWE as a whole.
