ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2007--Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) ("Charter" or the "Company") announced today that its indirect subsidiaries, Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating") and CCO Holdings, LLC ("CCO Holdings"), closed on portions of the $8.35 billion bank refinancings announced in February 2007.

Charter Operating closed on a new $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and a new $1.5 billion term facility, both with interest rates of LIBOR plus 2.0%. The refinancing of the $5 billion term loan portion of the Charter Operating facilities is expected to close in late April 2007 with pricing at LIBOR plus 2.0%, down from the existing rate of LIBOR plus 2.625%. Also today, CCO Holdings closed on a new $350 million third lien term loan with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%. These new facilities are expected to fund at various times over the next two months.

The $8.35 billion of new senior secured credit facilities will refinance the existing $6.85 billion senior secured credit facilities at Charter Operating in addition to securities at various other Charter subsidiaries. In conjunction with the bank refinancing, the Company today announced (i) a $100 million tender offer for certain notes outstanding at Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter Holdings"), (ii) that CCO Holdings will be calling for redemption $550 million of CCO Holdings' Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2010 at 102%, and (iii) that Charter Holdings will be calling for redemption Charter Holdings' $187 million aggregate principal amount 8.625% Senior Notes due 2009. With the completion of these transactions, Charter expects to have adequate liquidity to fund its operations and service its debt through 2008.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this release are set forth in reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to:

        and necessary capital expenditures, either through cash flows
        from operating activities, further borrowings or other sources
        and, in particular, our ability to be able to provide under
        the applicable debt instruments such funds (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 could trigger a
        default of our other obligations under cross-default
        provisions;

    --  our ability to pay or refinance debt prior to or when it
        becomes due and/or to take advantage of market opportunities

        satellite operators, wireless broadband providers and DSL

        introduction of our telephone services such as our ability to
        meet heightened customer expectations for the reliability of
        voice services compared to other services we provide and our
        ability to meet heightened 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,

        pass programming cost increases on to our customers;

    --  general business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown;
