On August 12, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”), the Issuers issued $1,686,285,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2038 Notes and $1,627,538,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2041 Notes in connection with the early settlement of the Exchange Offers. In connection therewith, the Issuers entered into the below agreements. Secured Notes Indenture On the Early Settlement Date, the Issuers, CCO Holdings, LLC (the “Parent Guarantor”) and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a supplemental indenture with the Trustee and Collateral Agent in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the terms thereof (the “Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture”). The Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture supplements a base indenture entered into on July 23, 2015, by and among the Issuers, CCO Safari II, LLC, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (the “Base Indenture” and, together with the Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) providing for the issuance of senior secured notes of the Issuers generally. The Indenture provides, among other things, that interest is payable on the 2038 Notes on each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2027. Interest is payable on the 2041 Notes on each March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2027. At any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2038, the Issuers may redeem the outstanding 2038 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. On or after June 1, 2038, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the outstanding 2038 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2038 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. At any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2041, the Issuers may redeem the outstanding 2041 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. On or after June 1, 2041, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the outstanding 2041 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2041 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuers. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Parent Guarantor and all of the subsidiaries of the Issuers that guarantee the obligations of CCO under its credit agreement (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees are secured by a pari passu, first priority security interest, subject to certain permitted liens, in the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ assets that secure obligations under the credit agreement. The terms of the Indenture, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuers to grant liens, sell all or substantially all of their assets or merge or consolidate with other entities. The Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other covenants or agreements in the Indenture; failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; cessation of a material portion of the collateral subject to liens or disaffirmation of obligations under the security documents establishing the security interest in the collateral securing the Notes; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a series may declare all the Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately. Registration Rights Agreement In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Issuers entered into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Notes, dated as of the Early Settlement Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the dealer managers for the Exchange Offers. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers have agreed, in certain circumstances, to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange each series of the Notes for a new issue of substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act, to cause the exchange offer registration statement to become or be declared effective and to consummate the exchange offer no later than 450 days following the Early Settlement Date. The Issuers may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the Notes under certain circumstances. If the foregoing obligations are not satisfied, the Issuers may be required to pay holders of the Notes additional interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount thereof for 90 days immediately following the occurrence of any registration default. Thereafter, the amount of additional interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal amount thereof to 0.5% per annum of the principal amount thereof until all registration defaults have been cured.
