Optimum Communications filings document the public-company record of the broadband communications provider formerly known as Altice USA. The disclosures cover Class A common stock, NYSE trading under OPTU, operating results, broadband and video performance, capital spending, and the Optimum service platform.

Optimum Communications, Inc. is asking stockholders to elect nine directors and ratify its independent registered public accounting firm at a fully virtual annual meeting on June 10, 2026. The company has a dual‑class share structure, with Class A shares carrying one vote and Class B shares carrying twenty‑five votes, and is a NYSE “controlled company” based on Patrick Drahi’s majority voting power.
The proxy explains board composition, committee responsibilities, and governance practices, including majority voting for uncontested director elections and annual board self‑evaluations. It also details 2025 executive pay, which combines salary, annual bonuses tied to Adjusted EBITDA and operational metrics, and long‑term incentives using restricted share units and cash performance awards. Special 2025 cash bonuses and sizable 2026 retention awards for senior leaders, along with changes that shift 2026 long‑term incentives toward deferred cash plus performance‑based cash awards, are highlighted as tools to retain key executives.
Optimum Communications, Inc. Chief Financial Officer Marc Sirota filed an amended insider report to correct his reported holdings of Class A common stock. The amendment fixes a prior Form 4 that, due to a ministerial error, understated his beneficial ownership.
The corrected filing shows Sirota directly beneficially owns 1,330,406 shares of Class A common stock following the previously reported transaction on February 27, 2026. The amendment reflects a reporting correction rather than a new stock purchase or sale.

Optimum Communications, Inc. updated its 2026 executive compensation structure by granting deferred cash awards (DCAs) under its 2026 long-term incentive program.
