CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (symbol: CHTR) is the issuer of record for a Form 4 filing submitted to the SEC.
CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (CHTR) submitted an initial insider ownership report for Mark James Greatrex on Form 3. He is reported as a director and not as an officer or ten percent owner. The filing does not report any equity transactions or current holdings for him.
Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) has a new initial ownership report from director Dallas S. Clement. The Form 3 identifies him as a director but lists no reported transactions, holdings, or derivative positions as of this filing, and includes no indication of activity under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) reports on this Form 3 that director Taylor Alexander Cox is associated with significant indirect economic interests in its equity through Cox-related entities. Cox Communications Equity Holdings, Inc. (CCEH), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc., acquired Charter Communications Holdings Class C Common Units and Convertible Preferred Units on August 19, 2026; these units have no expiration date and carry voting rights via one share of Charter Class C Common Stock. The Class C Common Units held by CCEH are exchangeable, in certain circumstances, for cash or, at Charter’s election, Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments. The Convertible Preferred Units have a stated coupon and liquidation preference and are convertible into Class C Common Units at a fixed initial conversion price. The filing also lists Cox’s direct ownership of a smaller number of Charter Class A Common shares. Cox may be deemed to beneficially own the CCEH-held securities through his affiliations with Cox Family Voting Trust and Cox Enterprises, Inc., but he expressly disclaims beneficial ownership for Section 16 and other purposes.
CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (CHTR) is reported to have a significant holder of its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Ronald A. Duncan reports beneficial ownership of 474,976 shares of this preferred stock, representing 6.6% of the class, based on 7,183,812 shares outstanding as of August 19, 2026.
Duncan reports 456,935 shares with sole voting and dispositive power and 18,041 shares with shared voting and dispositive power. His position includes shares held directly and through several entities and a foundation, and 396,400 shares are pledged as security for margin loan facilities. He disclaims beneficial ownership of 18,041 shares held by his wife.
CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (CHTR) received an amended Schedule 13D from the Advance/Newhouse group updating its ownership and governance arrangements. Advance/Newhouse Partnership and its affiliated reporting persons collectively report beneficial ownership of 18,647,794 shares of Class A common stock (including Class B units on an as-converted basis), representing 14.35% of the class, based on about 129.94 million shares outstanding as of August 20, 2026.
The filing reflects closing of previously announced transactions with Cox, the entry into a Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, and related ancillary agreements governing board composition, ownership caps, preemptive rights, exchange mechanics, tax receivable arrangements and registration rights. The stockholders agreement fixes Charter’s board at 13 directors, gives Cox and A/N designation and committee rights subject to ownership thresholds, and caps their equity ownership and voting power, with any shares above the voting caps voted in proportion to public stockholders. A separate letter agreement replaces the prior share repurchase agreement and sets a framework for A/N’s pro rata participation in future repurchases, but A/N has currently exercised its right to suspend participation until it delivers a notice to end the suspension.
Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) completed two major transactions: an all‑stock acquisition of Liberty Broadband and the Cox Transactions, making Charter the parent of Cox’s broadband, video and related businesses and leaving Liberty as a wholly owned subsidiary that is then merged into a Charter subsidiary.
Liberty shareholders received 0.236 share of Charter Class A per Liberty common share and one Charter preferred share per Liberty preferred share. Charter retired about 38.6 million Charter shares previously owned by Liberty and issued about 33.9 million new shares, a net reduction of roughly 4.7 million shares outstanding, and issued about 7.2 million Charter preferred shares. In the Cox deal, Charter paid Cox affiliates $3.5 billion in cash for commercial businesses, plus $724 million in cash, 60.0 million Charter Holdings convertible preferred units with $6.0 billion liquidation preference and 6.875% coupon, and about 33.6 million Charter Holdings common units priced at $353.64, while approximately $12 billion of Cox debt and finance leases remain at Charter subsidiaries. Cox affiliates now hold just over the equivalent of 46 million Charter shares, or about 26% of fully diluted shares; Liberty ceases to be a direct shareholder. Governance shifts include a 13‑member board, Cox designees joining, Liberty designees departing, and Alex Taylor becoming Chairman.
