ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company made demand
advances to Adelphia periodically, for which the Company earned interest at
5.15%, totaling approximately $8.5 million. During the period January 1, 1999 to
December 31, 1999, the largest amount due from Adelphia at the end of any
quarter was approximately $392.6 million at December 31, 1999.
The Company and Adelphia have entered into a registration rights
agreement, as amended whereby the Company has agreed to provide to Adelphia and
certain permitted transferees, with respect to common stock owned by them, two
demand registration rights per year under certain conditions, including that any
such demand be with respect to shares with a minimum of $10 million in market
value, and with certain piggyback registration rights in future public offerings
of the common stock. Adelphia's demand registration rights terminate at such
time as Adelphia ceases to hold at least $10 million in market value of common
stock.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company incurred charges
from Adelphia of approximately $8.6 million for the provision to the Company of
shared corporate overhead services in areas such as personnel, payroll,
management information services, computer services, shared use of office,
aircraft and network facilities and support equipment. The Company expects that
charges for the provision of similar services by Adelphia to the Company, or by
the Company to Adelphia, will continue to be incurred or charged by the Company
in the future. The transactions related to the provision of these services have
been based on allocation of Adelphia's incremental costs incurred for these
services, and do not necessarily represent the actual costs that would be
incurred if the Company was to secure such services on its own or the costs
which would be charged on a pro-rata allocation of such costs under the
Management Services Agreement between the Company and Adelphia dated April 10,
1998, with respect to shared corporate overhead service. During the year ended
December 31, 1999, the Company (i) paid Adelphia or certain of Adelphia's
affiliates, fiber lease payments of approximately $0.2 million, (ii) received
from Adelphia $1.8 million in revenue for providing switched services, and (iii)
paid to entities owned by members of the Rigas family who are executive officers
of the Company approximately $7.6 million for property, plant and equipment and
services.
On March 2, 1999, Highland Holdings, a partnership owned by the Rigas
family, purchased directly from the Company $100 million aggregate principal
amount of the Company's 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 at a purchase
price equal to the principal amount less the discount to the initial purchasers
of the other $200 million of such notes sold on that date.
On November 30, 1999, the Company issued and sold 8,750,000 shares of
Class A common stock at a price to the public of $30.00 per share.
Simultaneously with the closing of this transaction, the Company issued and sold
5,181,350 shares of Class B common stock to Adelphia at a purchase price of
$28.95 per share, which was equal to the offering price less the underwriting
discount for the Class A common stock sold to the public.
