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 Restructuring Agreements were previously 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 September 30, 2009.
On
September 29, 2009, the parties to the Restructuring Agreements each entered
into a Second 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 October 14,
2009.
The
Second Amendments to the Restructuring Agreements are available at www.kccllc.net/charter.
