This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D"), which was jointly filed on August 25, 2026 and is filed on behalf of Cox Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Cox Enterprises"), and Cox Communications Equity Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation ("CCEH" and together with Cox Enterprises, the "Reporting Persons"), with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock of Charter Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer" or "Charter"), par value $0.001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), (a) into which the Class C common units (the "Class C Common Units") of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Issuer ("Charter Holdings"), directly or indirectly held by the Reporting Persons are exchangeable or convertible, as applicable, and (b) into which the convertible preferred units of Charter Holdings (the "Preferred Units") directly or indirectly held by the Reporting Persons are exchangeable or convertible, as applicable. On August 19, 2026, the Issuer, Charter Holdings and Cox Enterprises entered into the Cox Enterprises repurchase letter agreement (the "Repurchase Letter Agreement"), which governs the terms of Cox Enterprises' participation in the Issuer's share repurchases. Under the Repurchase Letter Agreement, Cox Enterprises may sell to the Issuer or to Charter Holdings, on a monthly basis, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Units that represents a pro rata participation by Cox Enterprises and its affiliates in any direct or indirect repurchases or redemptions of shares of Class A Common Stock (including through the repurchase or redemption of any convertible equity securities, Class C Common Units or Preferred Units) from persons other than Cox Enterprises or Advance/Newhouse Partnership effected by the Issuer during the immediately preceding calendar month, at a purchase price equal to the average price paid by the Issuer for the shares repurchased or redeemed from persons other than Cox Enterprises or Advance/Newhouse Partnership during such immediately preceding calendar month and excluding repurchases in privately negotiated transactions or deemed repurchases due to cashless exercise of or payment of withholding taxes with respect to director, officer or employee equity awards of the Issuer. Cox Enterprises has the right to elect whether its participation in the Issuer's repurchases will consist of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Units or a combination thereof; however, all repurchases will be settled in cash at the applicable purchase price. On September 28, 2026, pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Letter Agreement, Cox Enterprises delivered to the Issuer a suspension notice (the "Suspension Notice"), which suspended the share repurchases under the Repurchase Letter Agreement (such suspension, the "Suspension of the Share Repurchases") until the Suspension Notice is revoked by written notice from Cox Enterprises to the Issuer pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement. This Amendment is being filed solely to disclose the Suspension of the Share Repurchases.
