CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial, including, without limitation, the forward-looking statements set forth in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus.  Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations.  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation, the factors described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus.  Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “planned,” “will,” “may,” “intend,” “estimated,” “aim,” “on track,” “target,” “opportunity” and “potential,” among others.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this annual report are set forth in this annual report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, and include, but are not limited to:
  • the availability and access, in general, of funds to meet our debt obligations and to fund our operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, further borrowings or other sources and, in particular, our ability to fund debt obligations (by dividend, investment or otherwise) to the applicable obligor of such debt;
  • our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities, any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default provisions;
  • our ability to repay debt prior to or when it becomes due and/or successfully access the capital or credit markets to refinance that debt through new issuances, exchange offers or otherwise, especially given recent volatility and disruption in the capital and credit markets;
  • the impact of competition from other distributors, including but not limited to incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband providers, and digital subscriber line ("DSL") providers;
  • difficulties in growing and operating our telephone services, while adequately meeting  customer expectations for the reliability of voice services;
  • our ability to adequately meet demand for installations and customer service;
  • our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone and other services, and to maintain and grow our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition and the weak economic conditions in the United States;
  • our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to adequately raise prices to offset the effects of higher programming costs (including retransmission consents);
  • general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn and the significant downturn in the housing sector and overall economy; and
  • the effects of governmental regulation on our business.

It does not contain all the information that may be important to you in making an investment decision.  You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the documents incorporated by reference, which are described under “Incorporation by Reference of Certain Documents” and “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”  You should also carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors.”  In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “the Company,” “the Issuer,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Charter Communications, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. “Charter” refers to Charter Communications, Inc., the issuer of the Class A Common Stock offered hereby, alone.
 
Our Business
 
We are among the largest providers of cable services in the United States, offering a variety of entertainment, information and communications solutions to residential and commercial customers. Our infrastructure consists of a hybrid of fiber and coaxial cable plant passing approximately 11.9 million homes, with 96% of homes passed at 550 MHZ or greater and 95% of plant miles two-way active.  A national Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure interconnects all Charter markets.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we generated approximately $5.0 billion in revenue, of which approximately 52% of our revenue was generated from our residential video service. We also generate revenue from high-speed Internet, telephone service and advertising with residential and commercial high-speed Internet and telephone service contributing the majority of the recent growth in our revenue.
 
As of September 30, 2009, we served approximately 5.3 million customers. We sell our cable video programming, high-speed Internet and telephone services primarily on a subscription basis, often in a bundle of two or more services, providing savings to our customers.  Bundled services are available to approximately 89% of our homes passed, and approximately 56% of our customers subscribe to a bundle of services.
 
As of September 30, 2009, we served approximately 4.9 million video customers, of which approximately 65% were digital video customers.  Digital video enables our customers to access advanced services such as high definition television, OnDemand video programming, an interactive program guide and digital video recorder, or DVR service.
 
As of September 30, 2009, we also served approximately 3.0 million high-speed Internet customers.  Our high-speed Internet service is available in a variety of speeds up to 60 Mbps.  We also offer home networking service, or Wi-Fi, enabling our customers to connect up to five computers wirelessly in the home.
 
As of September 30, 2009, we provided telephone service to approximately 1.5 million customers. Our telephone services typically include unlimited local and long distance calling to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, plus more than 10 features, including voicemail, call waiting and caller ID.
 
Through Charter Business®, we provide scalable, tailored broadband communications solutions to business organizations, such as business-to-business Internet access, data networking, fiber connectivity to cell towers, video and music entertainment services and business telephone.  As of September 30, 2009, we served approximately 180,000 business customers, including small- and medium-sized commercial customers.  Our advertising sales division, Charter Media®, provides local, regional and national businesses with the opportunity to advertise in individual markets on cable television networks.
 
We have a history of net losses.  However, with our emergence from bankruptcy on November 30, 2009, we reduced our debt by approximately $8 billion, reducing our interest expense by approximately $830 million annually.
 
Charter was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1999.  Charter is a holding company whose principal asset as of December 30, 2009 is the 99.8% controlling common equity interest in Charter Communications Holding

Company, LLC (“Charter Holdco”).  As sole manager, Charter controls the affairs of Charter Holdco and its limited liability company subsidiaries.
 
Recent Events
 
On March 27, 2009, we filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  The Chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Charter Communications, Inc., et al., Case No. 09-11435. We continued to operate our businesses and owned and managed our properties as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code until we emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on November 30, 2009.
 
On May 7, 2009, we filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), and a related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”), with the Bankruptcy Court.  The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 17, 2009, and became effective on November 30, 2009, the date on which we emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
For more information on the events that occurred and securities issued upon our emergence from bankruptcy, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 4, 2009.

These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Common Stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 30, 2009 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options.

900,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock;
 
·  
25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock; and
 
·  
250,000,000 shares of preferred stock, including 5,520,001 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
Common Stock
 
Common Stock Outstanding
 
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock  (collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and shares of any other series of our preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future.
 
To the greatest extent permitted by applicable Delaware law, the shares of Class A Common Stock are uncertificated, and transfer will be reflected by book-entry, unless a physical certificate is requested by a holder.
 
The Class B Common Stock is identical to the Class A Common Stock except with respect to certain voting, transfer and conversion rights. Subject to the Lock-Up Agreement (as defined below), each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder or, at any time on or after January 1, 2011 and until September 15, 2014, at the option of a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors, and at any time after September 15, 2014 at the election of a majority of the members of the board of directors (other than members of the board of directors elected by holders of Class B Common Stock). Class B Common Stock is subject to significant transfer restrictions including restrictions under a Lock-Up Agreement between the Company and the holders of the Class B Common Stock (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). Class A Common Stock, however, issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, is not subject to the same restrictions. Shares of Class B Common Stock must at all times be held only by (i) Mr. Paul G. Allen, (ii) his estate, spouse, immediate family members and heirs, and (iii) any trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the beneficiaries, stockholders, partners or other owners of which consist exclusively of Mr. Allen or such other persons referred to in clause (ii) above or a combination of the above, which we refer to collectively as Authorized Class B Holders, and upon any transfer to a person or entity other than an Authorized Class B Holder, each share of Class B Common Stock will be automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock. In addition, certain restrictions on conversion and transfer of Class B Common Stock are set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement.  Shares of the Class B Common Stock are only to be issued to Mr. Allen or certain of his affiliates.
 
Voting Rights
 
Holders of shares of our capital stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors, as follows:
 
·  
shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share;
 
 
16

 
 
·  
shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to a number of votes per share, which at all times when shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding represent 35% of the combined voting power of the Company’s capital stock, on a fully diluted basis; and
 
·  
the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 0.025 vote per share.
 
Mr. Allen and entities affiliated with Mr. Allen hold in excess of 35% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of Charter and have the right to elect four of 11 members of the board of directors. There may be additional holders of significant voting power in Charter, though pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, prior to September 15, 2014, the votes attributable to each share of Class A Common Stock held by any holder (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) will be automatically reduced pro rata among all shares of Class A Common Stock held by such holder and (if applicable) shares of Class A Common Stock held by any other holder (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) included in any “person” or “group” with such holder so that no “person” or “group” (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) is or becomes the holder or beneficial owner (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) such “person” shall be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition), directly or indirectly, of more than 34.9% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of Charter, subject to waiver by the disinterested members of the board of directors as provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. We refer to this voting power limitation as the Voting Threshold.  Holders of Class B Common Stock (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) are also subject to a reduction of their voting power to comply with the Voting Threshold.
 
The holders of Common Stock and their respective affiliates will not have cumulative voting rights.
 
Pursuant to our amended and restated bylaws, the number of members of the board of directors shall be fixed at 11 members. Except for the initial board of directors, which was appointed pursuant to the terms of the Plan, for as long as shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding, holders of Class B Common Stock have the right to elect 35% of the members of the board of directors (rounded up to the next whole number), and all other members of the board of directors will be elected by majority vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock (and any series of preferred stock then entitled to vote at an election of the directors).  In addition, members of the board of directors elected by holders of Class B Common Stock have no less than proportionate representation on each committee of the board of directors, subject to applicable SEC and stock exchange rules and except for any committee formed solely for the purpose of reviewing, recommending and/or authorizing any transaction in which holders of Class B Common Stock or their affiliates (other than Charter or its subsidiaries) are interested parties.
 
Under the new Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (i) any director may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (and any series of preferred stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors), voting together as a single class, (ii) any director elected by the holders of Class B Common Stock voting separately as a class may be removed from office, without cause, solely by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, and (iii) any director elected by the vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock voting separately as a class (including holders of voting preferred stock, as applicable) may be removed from office, without cause, solely by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class (including any holders of voting preferred stock entitled to vote thereon).
 
Dividend Rights
 
Subject to limitations under Delaware law, preferences that may apply to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, and contractual restrictions, holders of each class of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends or other distributions when and if declared by the board of directors.  In addition to such restrictions, whether any future dividends are paid to Charter’s stockholders will depend on decisions that will be made by the board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including Charter’s financial condition, contractual restrictions, corporate law restrictions, capital requirements and business prospects.  The ability of the board of
 
 
17

 
 
directors to declare dividends also will be subject to the rights of any holders of outstanding shares of the Charter’s preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, and the availability of sufficient funds under the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") to pay dividends.  For a more complete description of the dividend rights of holders of shares of Charter’s preferred stock, see the sections titled “Description of Capital Stock—Series A 15% Pay-In-Kind Preferred Stock, and —Blank Check Preferred Stock” below.
 
Warrants to Purchase Class A Common Stock
 
Pursuant to the Plan, Charter issued warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock to (i) holders of notes issued by CCH I Holdings, LLC (“CIH”) (the “CIH Warrants”), (ii) holders of notes issued by Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (“Charter Holdings” or “CCH”) (the “CCH Warrants”) and (iii) Charter Investment, Inc. (“CII”), an entity that is 100% owned by Mr. Allen (the “CII Warrants”).  The CIH Warrants, CCH Warrants and CII Warrants have an exercise price of $46.86, $51.28 and $19.80, respectively.  Each of the CIH Warrants and CCH Warrants expire five years after the date of issuance.  The CII Warrants expire seven years after the date of issuance.  The warrants provide for a cashless exercise by the warrant holder. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events including: stock subdivisions, combinations, splits, stock dividends, capital reorganizations, or capital reclassifications of Class A Common Stock and in connection with certain distributions of cash, assets or securities.  In addition, holders of certain of the warrants have the right to participate, along with other holders of Common Stock, in future below-market offerings of rights to purchase securities (including, but not limited to, Common Stock) on an as-exercised basis.  The warrants are not redeemable.
 
Liquidation Rights
 
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Charter, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to share pari passu in the net assets of Charter available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock.
 
Preemptive Rights
 
Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have no preemptive rights.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the board of directors may impose restrictions on the trading of Charter’s stock if (i) Charter has experienced an “owner shift” as determined for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of at least 25 percentage points and (ii) the equity value of Charter has decreased by at least 35% since our emergence from bankruptcy on November 30, 2009 (the “Effective Date”). These restrictions, which are intended to preserve Charter’s ability to use its net operating losses, which we refer to as NOLs, may prohibit any person from acquiring stock of Charter if such person is a “5% shareholder” or would become a “5% shareholder” as a result of such acquisition.  The restrictions will not operate to prevent any stockholder from disposing of shares and are subject to certain other exceptions relating to shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Plan. The board of director’s ability to impose these restrictions will terminate on November 30, 2014.
 
In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in addition to any affirmative vote required by law or our amended and restated bylaws, a “business combination” (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) involving as a party, or proposed by or on behalf of, an “interested stockholder,” an “affiliate,” or an “associate” of the “interested stockholder” (each as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) or a person who upon consummation of the “business combination” would become an “affiliate” or “associate” of an “interested stockholder” requires, unless prohibited by law, that (i) a majority of the members of the board of directors who are not an “affiliate” or “associate” or representative of an “interested stockholder” must determine that the “business combination,” including the consideration, is fair to the Company and its stockholders (other than any “interested stockholder” or its “affiliates and associates); and (ii)
 
 
18

 
 
holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all of the then outstanding shares of “voting stock” (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), voting together as a single class (excluding voting stock beneficially owned by any “interested stockholder” or its “affiliate” or “associate”) must approve the transaction.
 
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, unless: (1) the board of directors approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (2) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (3) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote at a meeting, not by written consent, of stockholders of 2/3 of the holders of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.  A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law, or “opt-out.”  We have not elected to “opt-out.”
 
Preferred Stock
 
Series A 15% Pay-In-Kind Preferred Stock
 
Shares of our Series A Preferred Stock rank senior as to dividends to shares of our Common Stock.  For the first three years after the Effective Date, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to an annual dividend at the rate of 15% of the initial liquidation preference of $25 (equivalent to $3.75 per annum per share), payable in cash or, at the option of Charter, by issuing additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of the dividend payment, or a combination of both. Such dividends is cumulative and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year.  The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible or exchangeable at the option of a holder thereof into any other class or series of stock or obligations of Charter, and for the first six months after the Effective Date, shares of Series A Preferred Stock may only be redeemed in cash.  Thereafter, Charter may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in whole or in part at any time upon at least 15 days prior written notice and payment of 100% of the liquidation preference, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, which amounts would be payable in cash, Class A Common Stock or a combination thereof. To the extent any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemed within the three years following the Effective Date, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to an annual dividend at the following annual rates: in the fourth year after the Effective Date, at an annual rate of 17%, and in the fifth year after the Effective Date, at an annual rate of 19%. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock require that no later than November 30, 2014, Charter shall redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at 100% of the liquidation preference, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, which amounts will be payable in cash, Class A Common Stock or a combination thereof. Any redemption payment in Class A Common Stock may not exceed 20% of the fully diluted shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of such redemption payment.  If Charter elects to pay any redemption payment, in whole or in part, in shares of Class A Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed shall be equal to: (1) the liquidation preference of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed and any other accrued and unpaid dividends whether or not declared; divided by (2) the market price of a share of Class A Common Stock equal to the volume weighted average price during the preceding twenty (20) consecutive trading days.
 
In the event of Charter’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up, bankruptcy or dissolution, after payment in full of all amounts owed to the debtors’ creditors and any stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive and to be paid out of Charter’s assets available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment or distribution is made to holders of junior stock (including our Common Stock), a liquidation preference in the amount of $25 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the payment date of liquidation, winding-up, bankruptcy or dissolution. If, upon Charter’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy or dissolution, the amounts payable with respect to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and all stock pari passu to Series A Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and such pari passu stock will share equally and ratably in any distribution of Charter’s assets in proportion to
 
 
19

 
 
the full liquidation preference and accumulated and unpaid dividends to which they are entitled. In each case, after the payment in full of all amounts owed to the debtors’ creditors and all amounts owed to holders of Series A Preferred Stock or any other preferred stock outstanding, the remaining assets of Charter will be distributed ratably to the holders of shares of Common Stock, treated as a single class. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as well as any series of preferred stock which Charter may designate and issue in the future without stockholder approval.
 
Blank Check Preferred Stock
 
Under the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 250 million shares of series of preferred stock and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. If the board of directors decides to issue shares of preferred stock to persons supportive of current management, this could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. Authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Charter.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
Mellon Investor Services, LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our Class A Common Stock.
 
Listing of Our Common Stock

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
Future sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, future sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price of our Class A Common Stock prevailing from time to time.
 
Sale of Restricted Shares
 
As of December 30, 2009, we had 112,580,532 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. Except as set forth below, all shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding after this offering will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless held by one of our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise registered under the Securities Act, sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock by affiliates will be subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions set forth in Rule 144.
 
Class A Common Stock and Warrants Issued in Reliance on Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code
 
We relied on section 1145(a)(1) and (2) of the Bankruptcy Code to exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the offer and sale of a portion of our Class A Common Stock, as well as the CIH Warrants and CCH Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock. Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under the Plan from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if certain requirements are satisfied. Section 1145(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities issued under 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, such as the CIH Warrants and CCH Warrants, from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if certain requirements are satisfied. These shares may be resold without registration unless the recipient is an “underwriter” with respect to those securities. Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code defines an “underwriter” as any person who:
 
·  
purchases a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense against the debtor, if that purchase is with a view to distributing any security received in exchange for such a claim or interest;
 
·  
offers to sell securities offered under the Plan for the holders of those securities;
 
·  
offers to buy those securities from the holders of the securities, if the offer to buy is (i) with a view to distributing those securities; and (ii) (a) under an agreement made in connection with the Plan, the completion of the Plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the Plan; or (b) is an “affiliate” of the issuer.
 
To the extent that persons who receive Class A Common Stock are deemed to be “underwriters,” resales by those persons would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Those persons would, however, be permitted to sell our Class A Common Stock or other securities without registration if they are able to comply with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as described further below.
 
Class A Common Stock Issued in the Rights Offering and Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants issued to Mr. Allen
 
Certain holders of notes of certain of our subsidiaries (the “Eligible Holders”) agreed to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock in a rights offering pursuant to the Plan and certain commitment agreements. In addition, we issued shares of Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants to CII (an entity controlled by Mr. Allen) pursuant to the Plan.  The Class A Common Stock issued to the Eligible Holders pursuant to the rights offering, and the Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants issued to CII pursuant to the Plan, are exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, are deemed “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act
 
 
21

 
 
or in compliance with an applicable exemption therefrom. As a result, the Class A Common Stock issued to the Eligible Holders, and Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants issued to CII, are not freely tradeable.
 
Pursuant to the Plan and a registration rights agreement that we entered into with the members of the Crossover Committee (as defined in the Plan), CII and Mr. Allen, we are required to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Class A Common Stock issued to the members of the Crossover Committee, and any Class A Common Stock issuable  to Mr. Allen (or his designees) upon (i) exchange of its Class B Common Stock and Holdco Units (as defined below) or (ii) exercise of its CII Warrants, to be declared effective by the SEC no later than June 30, 2010, permitting such Class A Common Stock to be freely tradable, subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions set forth in Rule 144 applicable to Class A Common Stock held by affiliates of the Company.  Pursuant to such requirement, we have filed this registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC.  Eligible Holders that purchased less than 1% of the Class A Common Stock in the rights offering are not entitled to registration rights.
 
Holdco Exchange Agreement
 
On November 30, 2009, the Company, Charter Holdco, CII and Mr. Allen entered into an exchange agreement (the “Holdco Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Allen and certain persons and entities affiliated with Mr. Allen (together, the “Allen Entities”) have the right and option, at any time and from time to time on or prior to November 30, 2014, to require the Company to (i) exchange all or any portion of their  membership units in Charter Holdco (the “Holdco Units”) for $1,000 in cash and up to 1,120,649 shares of Class A Common Stock in a taxable transaction, (ii) exchange 100% of the equity in such Allen Entity for $1,000 in cash and 1,120,649 shares of Class A Common Stock in a taxable transaction, or (iii) permit such Allen Entity to merge with and into the Company, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or undertake tax-free transactions similar to the taxable transactions in clauses (i) and (ii), provided that the exchange rights described in clauses (ii) and (iii) are subject to certain limitations.  The number of shares of Class A Common Stock that an Allen Entity receives is subject to certain adjustments, including for certain distributions received from Charter Holdco prior to the date the option to exchange is exercised and for certain distributions made by the Company to holders of its Class A Common Stock.  In addition, no sooner than at least 120 days following the Effective Date, in the event that a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement) is approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company not affiliated with the person(s) proposing such transactions, the Company will have the right to require the Allen Entities to effect an exchange transaction of the type elected by the Allen Entities from subclauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, which election is subject to certain limitations.
 
As of the Effective Date, there was an aggregate of 100 Holdco Units outstanding, of which 99 were held by Charter and one (1) was held by CII.  As permitted by the Exchange Agreement, on December 28, 2009, CII exchanged 0.81 Holdco Unit for 907,698 shares of Class A Common Stock plus $1,000.  As a result, as of December 31, 2009, Charter holds 99.81 Holdco Units and CII holds 0.19 Holdco Unit.  Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, CII can exchange its 0.19 Holdco Unit for an additional 212,923 shares of our Class A Common Stock on or prior to November 30, 2014.
 
Lock-Up Agreement
 
On the Effective Date, the Company, CII and Mr. Allen entered into a lock up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Allen and any permitted affiliate of Mr. Allen that will hold shares of Class B Common Stock, from and after the Effective Date to, but not including, the earliest to occur of (i) September 15, 2014, (ii) the repayment, replacement, refinancing or substantial modification, including any waiver, to the change of control provisions of the CCO Credit Facility and (iii) a Change of Control (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement), Mr. Allen and/or any such permitted affiliate shall not transfer or sell shares of Class B Common Stock received by such person under the Plan or convert shares of Class B Common Stock received by such person under the Plan into Class A Common Stock except to Mr. Allen and/or such permitted affiliates.

Stock Options and Other Stock Awards
 
 The Plan contemplates the adoption of a new management incentive plan under which shares of our Class A Common Stock, or options or other awards to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, can be issued to the Company’s directors, management and other employees.  Under our Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, 7,696,786 shares of Class A Common Stock have been reserved for issuance, and on December 16, 2009, Charter awarded 1,923,886 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock to certain of its employees.
 
We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 covering all of the shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and such shares will be freely tradeable in the public market as soon as issued subject to certain limitations applicable to affiliates and any restrictions applicable to the vesting of awards.
 
Series A Preferred Stock
 
On or after May 31, 2010, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock with shares of Class A Common Stock.  See "Description of Capital Stock – Preferred Stock – Series A 15% Pay-In-Kind Preferred Stock” herein.  Any Class A Common Stock issued in redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock would be freely tradeable in the public market as soon as issued subject to certain limitations applicable to any affiliates.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchaser of the Class A Common Stock, which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the type of transactions involved.
 
The selling stockholders and any such broker-dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Class A Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters.” As a result, any profits on the sale of the Class A Common Stock by selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholders were deemed to be underwriters, the selling stockholders may be subject to certain statutory liabilities as underwriters under the Securities Act.
 
If Class A Common Stock is sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions.
 
The sale of Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more transactions at:
 
·  
 fixed prices;
 
·  
prevailing market prices at the time of sale;
 
·  
 prices related to prevailing market prices;
 
·  
varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
 
·  
negotiated prices.
 
The sale of the Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
 
·  
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Class A Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of the sale, including the OTC Bulletin Board;
 
·  
transactions involving cross or block trades;
 
·  
in the over-the counter market;
 
·  
through the distribution by any selling stockholder to its partners, members or shareholders;
 
·  
in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;
 
·  
in privately negotiated transactions; or
 
·  
any combination of the foregoing.
 
In connection with the sales of Class A Common Stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. These broker-dealers may in turn engage in short sales of Class A Common Stock in the course of hedging their positions. The selling stockholders may also sell the Class A Common Stock short and deliver the Class A Common Stock to close out short positions, or loan or pledge the Class A Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell the Class A Common Stock.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.
 
We know of no existing arrangements between any selling stockholder, any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of Class A Common Stock by the selling stockholders. In addition, we cannot assure you that any such selling stockholders will not transfer, devise or gift the Class A Common Stock by other means not described in this prospectus. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the Class A Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, any Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus that qualifies for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
 
We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock to the public, other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. Under the Plan we are also obligated to provide customary indemnification to selling stockholders.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.
 
We have advised each of the selling stockholders that while it is engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this prospectus it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby this prospectus.

Item 14.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows us to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or other applicable law.  In addition, our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors to Charter or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended.
 
We have and intend to maintain director and officer liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
We are organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Section 145 of the DGCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such corporation, and, with respect to any criminal actions and proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action or suit by or in the right of such corporation, under the same conditions, except that such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person, and except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation.  Where an officer or director of a corporation is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
 
We have entered into indemnification agreements that require us to indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law for any claims made against each of these persons because he or she is, was or may be deemed to be a stockholder, director, officer, employee, controlling person, agent or fiduciary of
 
 

 
 
Charter or any of our subsidiaries.  We are obligated to pay the expenses of these persons in connection with any claims that are subject to the agreement.

Schedules have been omitted because the information set forth therein is not material, not applicable or is included in the financial statements or related notes of the prospectus which forms a part of this registration statement.
 
Item 17.  Undertakings
 
a)  
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
b)  
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
