A/N entered into Share Collar Transactions (the "Transactions") with unaffiliated banks, pursuant to which A/N wrote European call options and purchased European put options over an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (the "Common Stock") of Charter Communications, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Under the agreement, the Transactions may be settled in cash unless A/N elects physical settlement, in which case it expects to exchange Units for Class A Common Stock sufficient to satisfy its obligations under the Transactions. A portion of the Transactions was previously unwound On October 3, 2023, A/N early terminated a portion of the Transactions, with expiration dates running from August 12, 2024 to September 5, 2024, inclusive, and an equivalent portion of the corresponding credit facility. The terminated Transactions covered 420,850 shares of Class A Common Stock, and, in connection with this termination, 420,850 Units were released from the related pledge. Pursuant to this termination, the unaffiliated bank counterparty paid approximately $14.9 million in cash to A/N.

API and NBCo indirectly own all of the partnership interests of A/N. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock and Units owned by A/N and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. /s/ Michael A.
