Allen, (b) 106,715,233 Class A Common Membership Units (“Class A Units”) of Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC (“Charter Holdco”) held by Vulcan Cable III Inc. (“Vulcan”), (c) 217,585,246 Class A Units of Charter Holdco held by Charter Investment, Inc. (“CII”), (d) 9,597,940 Class C Common Membership Units (“Class C Units”) of Charter Holdco held by Vulcan and (e) 5,233,612 Class C Common Membership Units (“Class C Units”) of Charter Holdco held by CII. Each of Vulcan and CII has an exchange option with the Issuer giving it the right, at any time, to exchange both its Class A Units and Class C Units (the Class A Units and the Class C Units collectively, the “Class B Common Stock Equivalents”) for shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis. Class B Common Stock of the Issuer is convertible at any time into Class A Common Stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis. Mr. Allen is the sole stockholder of Vulcan and of CII. Mr. Allen is therefore deemed to have beneficial ownership of all of the Class B Common Stock Equivalents held by Vulcan and CII. As the ultimate controlling person of both Vulcan and CII, he is also deemed to have sole voting power with respect to the Class B Common Stock Equivalents held by each entity. Each entity is deemed to share its respective voting power as the direct owner of the Class B Common Stock Equivalents with Mr. Allen because of Mr. Allen’s controlling interest in such entity.
 
(2)    The calculation of the percentage assumes that: (i) the 50,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Allen have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) all Class B Common Stock Equivalents held by Vulcan and CII or that Vulcan and CII have the right to acquire within 60 days of February 14, 2002 (the “Reporting Date”) have been exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
(3)    Each share of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer has the right to a number of votes determined by multiplying (i) ten, and (ii) the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, and (2) the aggregate number of Class B Common Stock Equivalents, and dividing the product by the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. The calculation of this percentage assumes that Mr. Allen’s equity interests are retained in the form that maximizes voting power (i.e., the 50,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Allen have not been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and that the Class B Common Stock Equivalents beneficially owned by Mr. Allen through Vulcan and CII have not been exchanged for shares of Class B Common Stock or Class A Common Stock).

ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

option granted to Mr. Savoy by Vulcan, until such time as Mr. Savoy exercises his option (at which time, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, he will have sole voting and dispositive power of his shares), Mr. Allen retains sole voting and dispositive power, and Vulcan and Mr. Allen may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the option.

Registration Rights Agreement with CII, Vulcan and Mr. Allen

     On November 12, 1999, Mr. Allen, CII, Vulcan, and the other stockholders of CII entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which gives Mr. Allen, Vulcan and CII the right to cause the Issuer to register the shares of Class A Common Stock issued to them upon conversion of any shares of Class B Common Stock that they may hold.

     The Registration Rights Agreement provides that Mr. Allen, CII and Vulcan are entitled to unlimited “piggyback” registration rights permitting them to include their shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to specified limitations, in registration statements that the Issuer files from time to time. These holders may also exercise their demand rights, causing the Issuer, subject to specified limitations, to register their Class A Common Stock, provided that the amount of shares subject to each demand has a market value at least equal to $50 million or, if the market value is less than $50 million, all of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the holders participating in the offering are included in such registration.

     Holders may elect to have their shares registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement provided that at the time of the election, the Issuer is eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 and the amount of shares to be registered has a market value equal to at least $100.0 million on the date of the election.

     Mr. Allen also has the right to cause the Issuer to file a shelf registration statement in connection with the resale of shares of Class A Common Stock then held by or issuable to specified persons who have acquired or will acquire Class A Common Stock or membership units of Charter Holdco in exchange for their contribution of interests in Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P., InterLink Communications Partners, LLLP, Falcon Communications, L.P. and Bresnan Communications Company Limited Partnership and who have the right to cause Mr. Allen to purchase the equity interests issued to them as a result of the acquisitions of these entities.

     The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not, and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 hereto and is incorporated in its entirety by reference.

Put Agreements with Rifkin, Falcon and Bresnan Sellers

     Mr. Allen has entered into agreements with certain sellers who have acquired Class A Common Stock or membership units of Charter Holdco or CC VIII, LLC (“CC VIII”) in exchange for their contribution of interests in Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P., InterLink Communications Partners, LLLP, Falcon Communications, L.P. and Bresnan Communications Company Limited Partnership.

     On September 14, 1999, Mr. Allen and Charter Holdco entered into agreements (the “Rifkin Preferred Put Agreements”) with the following holders of Class A Preferred Membership Units of Charter Holdco, each of whom received the preferred membership units in exchange for their contribution of interests in Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. and/or InterLink Communications Partners, LLLP to Charter Holdco: Charles R. Morris, III, CRM II Limited Partnership, LLLP and Morris Children Trust. The agreements with these holders permit them to compel Charter Holdco to redeem their Class A Preferred Membership Units at any time before September 14, 2004 at the accreted value of the units. Mr. Allen has guaranteed the redemption obligation of Charter Holdco.

     The first of the two sets of agreements (the “Rifkin Accretion Put Agreements”) gave each holder the right to sell to Mr. Allen any or all shares of its Class A Common Stock received in the Rifkin Exchange at $19 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits, reorganizations and similar events), plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded annually. The second of the two sets of agreements (the “Rifkin Registration Support Put Agreements”) gave each holder the right to sell to Mr. Allen any or all shares of its Class A Common Stock received in the Rifkin Exchange at the market price if at any time from May 12, 2000 through November 12, 2001 (or earlier under certain circumstances), the shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

     On November 12, 2001 the Rifkin Accretion Put Agreements expired and Mr. Allen entered into a new put agreement (the “New Rifkin Accretion Put Agreement”) which gives each holder who was a party to the Rifkin Acrrection Put Agreement the right to sell to Mr. Allen any or all shares of its Class A Common Stock received in the Rifkin Exchange at $19 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits, reorganizations and similar events), plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded annually from November 12, 1999.

-16-


 

Charter Holdco (the “Falcon Exchange”) received upon Falcon Holding Group, L.P.’s contribution to Charter Holdco of its interests in Falcon Communications, L.P.

     The Falcon Put Agreements gave each holder the right to sell to Mr. Allen any or all shares of its Class A Common Stock received in the Falcon Exchange at $25.8548 per share, after an adjustment due to the closing of the Bresnan acquisition on February 14, 2000 (subject to adjustments for stock splits, reorganizations and similar events), plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded annually.

     On November 12, 2001 the Falcon Put Agreements expired and Mr. Allen entered into a new put agreement (the “New Falcon Put Agreement”) which gives each holder who was a party to a Falcon Put Agreement the right to sell to Mr. Allen any or all shares of its Class A Common Stock received in the Falcon Exchange at $25.8548 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits, reorganizations and similar events), plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded annually from November 12, 1999. The New Falcon Put Agreement terminates on November 12, 2003, subject to early termination for certain events. On November 12, 2001 the New Falcon Put Agreement applied to an aggregate of 10,095,069 shares of Class A Common Stock.

     The foregoing description of the put rights granted under the New Falcon Put Agreement is not, and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Falcon Put Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.18 hereto and incorporated in its entirety by reference.

          (c)  Bresnan.

     On February 14, 2000, Mr. Allen entered into agreements (the “Bresnan Put Agreements”) with certain sellers contributing interests in Bresnan Communications Company, Limited Partnership to Charter Holdco and CC VIII, in exchange for Class C Common Membership Units in Charter Holdco and Class A Preferred Membership Units in CC VIII, respectively (the “Bresnan Exchange”).

     The Bresnan Put Agreements give each holder the right to sell to Mr. Allen, any or all of its membership units or its Class A Common Stock received in the Bresnan Exchange at $25.995 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits, reorganizations and similar events), plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded annually. The put right became exercisable on February 14, 2002 and terminates on April 15, 2002. After the exercise of the Bresnan Put Agreements on February 14, 2002 with respect to 14,831,552 Class C Units of Charter Holdco, which transaction is the subject of this amendment, the Bresnan Put Agreements apply to an aggregate of 24,273,943 Class A Preferred Membership Units in CC VIII.

     The foregoing description of the put rights granted to under the Bresnan Put Agreements is not, and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Bresnan Put Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.12 hereto and is incorporated in its entirety by reference.

Stockholders’ Agreement

-17-


 

     On December 21, 1998, Mr. Allen and the then-other CII stockholders entered into a Stockholders Agreement. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Mr. Allen has a right of first refusal to purchase any CII common stock that a party to the agreement proposes to sell to a third party (with certain estate planning transfers excepted). As a result of the exercise of the Put Agreements described below, Mr. Allen is the sole stockholder of CII and the Stockholders Agreement has terminated.

Put Agreements with Jerald L. Kent, Barry L. Babcock and Howard L. Wood

     On November 12, 1999, Mr. Allen entered into a Put Agreement with each of Jerald L. Kent, Barry L. Babcock and Howard L. Wood (the “Founder Put Agreements”). Each of the Founder Put Agreements gave the holder the right to sell his shares of common stock of CII to Mr. Allen at any time after May 12, 2000, at a price equal to the product of (a) the average trading price of a share of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer over the thirty-day period preceding the exercise of the put option, and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of membership units held by CII and the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of CII. The purchase price was subject to adjustment in certain events (for example, if CII owns assets other than its interest in Charter Holdco). Each of Mr. Kent, Mr. Babcock and Mr. Wood have exercised their rights under the Founder Put Agreements with respect to all of their shares of CII common stock.
