Item
1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On March
27, 2009, Charter Communications, Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and
certain of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”)
seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United
States Code. Prior to filing the petitions in Bankruptcy Court and as
part of its pre-arranged joint plan of reorganization (as amended, the "Plan"),
the Company had entered into separate Restructuring Agreements (as amended, the
"Restructuring Agreements"), with certain of its noteholders and with Mr. Paul
G. Allen, the Company's chairman and primary shareholder. The forms
of Restructuring Agreements were originally filed by the Company on Form 8-K on
February 13, 2009. Among other things, the Restructuring Agreements
are subject to termination if the effective date of the Plan shall not have
occurred on or before November 12, 2009.
On
November 10 and 11, 2009, the parties to the Restructuring Agreements each
entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Restructuring Agreement so that each of
the Restructuring Agreements, as amended, are now subject to termination if the
effective date of the Plan shall not have occurred on or before November 27,
2009.
The Fifth
Amendments to the Restructuring Agreements are available at www.kccllc.net/charter.
