Mediacom Broadband LLC Announces Agreement to Sell

Middletown, NY — August 18, 2005 — Mediacom Broadband LLC and Mediacom Broadband Corporation, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mediacom Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: MCCC), announced today that they have agreed to sell $200 million principal amount of 8-1/2% senior notes due 2015 (the “Senior Notes”). On August 16, 2005, Mediacom Broadband LLC and Mediacom Broadband Corporation announced that they intended to offer $300 million principal amount of Senior Notes but have instead agreed to sell $200 million principal amount of such Senior Notes.
Mediacom Broadband LLC will use the net proceeds of the sale of the Senior Notes for working capital and other general corporate purposes and, until needed for a specific application, will apply the net proceeds to repay approximately $193 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the bank credit facility of its subsidiaries. Subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, the sale of the Senior Notes is expected to be completed on August 30, 2005.
The Senior Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S. The Senior Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Senior Notes nor shall there be any sale of the Senior Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
