As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2024, Charter Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Charter”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Charter, Liberty Broadband Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Liberty Broadband”), Fusion Merger Sub 1, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter (“Merger LLC”), and Fusion Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger LLC (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain specified conditions set forth therein, (i) the merger of Merger Sub with and into Liberty Broadband (the “Merger”), with Liberty Broadband surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger LLC, and (ii) immediately following the Merger, the merger of Liberty Broadband (as the surviving corporation in the Merger) with and into Merger LLC (the “Upstream Merger”, and together with the Merger, the “Combination”), with Merger LLC surviving the Upstream Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter. In connection with the Combination, Charter filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 on December 13, 2024, as amended on January 10, 2025 and January 17, 2025, and which was declared effective by the SEC on January 22, 2025, which contained a prospectus with respect to the shares of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock to be issued in connection with the Combination and a joint proxy statement of Charter and Liberty Broadband. Each of Charter and Liberty Broadband filed a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC on January 22, 2025 (collectively, the “joint proxy statement/prospectus”), which Charter and Liberty Broadband first mailed to their respective stockholders on or about January 22, 2025. Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, purported stockholders of Charter filed the following lawsuits against Charter and the individual members of the Charter board of directors: Stevens v.
