PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary contains a general discussion of our business, the offering of the shares and summary financial information. It does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the shares. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the related documents to which we refer. Unless noted, all business data included in this summary is as of December 31, 2012.

For definitions of certain capitalized terms used in the prospectus supplement that are not defined elsewhere herein, see “Certain Definitions.”

Unless stated otherwise, the discussion in this prospectus supplement of our business includes our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Charter Communications, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Our Business

We are among the largest providers of cable services in the United States, offering a variety of entertainment, information and communications solutions to residential and commercial customers. Our infrastructure consists of a hybrid of fiber and coaxial cable plant with approximately 12.1 million estimated passings, with 98% at 550 megahertz (“MHz”) or greater and 98% of plant miles two-way active. A national Internet Protocol (“IP”) infrastructure interconnects Charter markets.

As of December 31, 2012, we served approximately 5.4 million residential and commercial customers. We sell our video, Internet and telephone services primarily on a subscription basis, often in a bundle of two or more services, providing savings and convenience to our customers. Bundled services are available to approximately 98% of our passings, and approximately 62% of our customers subscribe to a bundle of services.

We served approximately 4.0 million residential video customers as of December 31, 2012, and approximately 87% of our video customers subscribed to digital video service. Digital video enables our customers to access advanced video services such as high definition (“HD”) television, Charter OnDemand^TM (“OnDemand”) video programming, an interactive program guide and digital video recorder (“DVR”) service.

We also served approximately 3.8 million residential Internet customers as of December 31, 2012. Our Internet service is available in a variety of download speeds up to 100 megabits per second (“Mbps”) and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps.

We provided telephone service to approximately 1.9 million residential customers as of December 31, 2012. Our telephone services typically include unlimited local and long distance calling to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, plus other features, including voicemail, call waiting and caller ID.

Through Charter Business^®, we provide scalable, tailored broadband communications solutions to business and carrier organizations, such as Internet access, data networking, fiber connectivity to cellular towers and office buildings, video entertainment services and business telephone services. As of December 31, 2012, we served approximately 467,000 commercial primary service units, primarily small- and medium-sized commercial customers. Our advertising sales division, Charter Media^®, provides local, regional and national businesses with the opportunity to advertise in individual markets on cable television networks.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we generated approximately $7.5 billion in revenue, of which approximately 84% was generated from our residential video, Internet and telephone services. We also generated revenue from providing Internet, telephone and video services to commercial businesses and from the sale of advertising. Sales from residential Internet and commercial services have contributed to the majority of our recent revenue growth.

S-1

We have a history of net losses. Our net losses are principally attributable to insufficient revenue to cover the combination of operating expenses, interest expenses that we incur on our debt, depreciation expenses resulting from the capital investments we have made, and continue to make, in our cable properties, amortization expenses related to our customer relationship intangibles and non-cash taxes resulting from increases in our deferred tax liabilities.

Charter was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1999. On March 27, 2009, we and certain affiliates filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Charter Communications, Inc., et al., Case No. 09-11435. On May 7, 2009, we filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 17, 2009, and became effective on November 30, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), the date on which we emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Our Corporate Information

Our principal executive offices are located at 400 Atlantic Street, 10th Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901. Our telephone number is (203) 905-7801, and we have a website accessible at www.charter.com. Our Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments thereto, are available on our website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been filed.

Recent Developments

Bresnan Acquisition

On February 7, 2013, we and Charter Operating entered into an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation to acquire Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Bresnan”) for a cash purchase price of $1.625 billion, subject to a working capital adjustment, a reduction for certain funded indebtedness of Bresnan and payment of any post-closing refunds of certain Montana property taxes paid under protest by Bresnan prior to the closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or early termination of the waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of FCC approvals, franchise approvals covering not less than 80% of Bresnan’s video customers as of the date of the agreement and certain state telecommunication authorizations. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2013. However, there can be no assurances that the conditions to closing will be satisfied or waived or that the closing will occur at all.

Using Cablevision’s “Optimum West” brand name, Bresnan manages cable operating systems in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Utah that pass more than 660,000 homes and serve 304,000 video subscribers and 370,000 customer relationships. For the year ended December 31, 2012, Bresnan reported revenues of $509 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $170 million (which includes general and administrative expense of $6 million attributable to a corporate overhead allocation by Cablevision); and a net loss of $39 million (which includes general and administrative expense of $6 million attributable to a corporate overhead allocation by Cablevision). As of December 31, 2012, Bresnan reported assets of $1.3 billion and total liabilities of $380 million (not including amounts drawn under its credit facility which will be retired at the consummation of the acquisition of Bresnan). At closing of the transaction, Bresnan is expected to have $250 million of 8.00% Senior Notes due 2018 outstanding, which is included in the $380 million of total liabilities reported. The amount of notes outstanding at closing will reduce the $1.625 billion purchase price for Bresnan indicated above.

S-2

Adjusted EBITDA for Bresnan is defined as net loss plus net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA for Bresnan includes property tax payments made to the Montana Department of Revenue which Optimum West is currently disputing in the Montana Supreme Court and corporate overhead allocations by Cablevision. For the year ended December 31, 2012, Bresnan reported net interest expense of $60 million; an income tax benefit of $19 million; depreciation and amortization of $166 million; and $2 million of non-cash stock compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net loss reported in accordance with GAAP. This term, as defined, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We expect to finance the purchase of Bresnan with additional indebtedness. To that end, our subsidiary, Charter Operating, has obtained a commitment from several financial institutions to provide a $1.5 billion term loan to fund a portion of the purchase price.

Senior Unsecured Notes Offering

On February 28, 2013, our subsidiaries CCO Holdings, LLC and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. offered $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes in two tranches due in 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and 2023 (the “2023 Notes” and, together with the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”) guaranteed by Charter. The 2021 Notes total $500 million in aggregate principal amount and will bear an interest rate of 5.25% per annum. The 2023 Notes total $500 million in aggregate principal amount and will bear an interest rate of 5.75% per annum. The Notes will be issued at par. The 2021 Notes will mature on March 15, 2021, and the 2023 Notes will mature on September 1, 2023. The offering is expected to close on March 14, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions. The net proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of amounts outstanding under the Charter Operating credit facilities.

(a) Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation, including revenues earned from customers residing in multi-dwelling residential structures from commercial revenues to video and Internet revenues.

(b) We use certain measures that are not defined by GAAP to evaluate various aspects of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net loss reported in accordance with GAAP. This term, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net loss below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and other operating expenses, such as special charges and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by our capital structure or investment activities. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management and Charter’s board of directors to evaluate the

S-6

performance of our business. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and our cash cost of financing. Management evaluates these costs through other financial measures.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful to investors in assessing our performance and our ability to service our debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under our credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the SEC). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, we use Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by our operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. Our debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees which fees were in the amount of $144 million, $151 million and $191 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	2,599		$	2,675		$	2,694

(c) Earnings include net loss plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and an estimated interest component of rent expense.

(d) “Video customers” represent those customers who subscribe to our video cable services. Effective January 1, 2012, Charter revised its reporting of customers whereby customers residing in multi-dwelling residential structures are now included in residential video customers rather than commercial video. Further, residential video customers are no longer calculated on an EBU (see footnote (h)) basis but are based on separate billing relationships. The impact of these changes increased residential video customers and reduced commercial video customers, with an overall net decrease to total video customers. Prior periods were reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.

(e) “Internet customers” represent those customers who subscribe to our Internet service.

(f) “Phone customers” represent those customers who subscribe to our phone service.

(g) “Primary Service Units” or “PSUs” represent the total of video, Internet and phone customers.

(h) Included within commercial video customers are those in commercial structures, which are calculated on an equivalent bulk unit (“EBU”) basis. We calculate EBUs by dividing the bulk price charged to accounts in an area by the published rate charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service. This EBU method of estimating video customers is consistent with the methodology used in determining costs paid to programmers and is consistent with the methodology used by other multiple system operators (“MSOs”). As we increase our published video rates to residential customers without a corresponding increase in the prices charged to commercial service customers, our EBU count will decline even if there is no real loss in commercial service customers.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A Common Stock by a non-U.S. holder that purchases shares of our Class A Common Stock in this offering. This summary applies only to a non-U.S. holder that holds our Class A Common Stock as a capital asset, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. holder” means any beneficial owner of our Class A Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, estate or trust other than:

— an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

— a corporation organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

— an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

— a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In the case of a beneficial owner of our Class A Common Stock that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of our shares to a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the tax status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership considering an investment in Class A Common Stock, then you should consult your own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority, published administrative positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this document. Changes in such authority or new interpretations thereof may have retroactive effect and could significantly affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with our statements and conclusions.

This summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular holders in light of their personal investment circumstances or status (including alternative minimum tax consequences), nor does it address tax considerations applicable to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, such as financial institutions, individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or investors in such entities, insurance companies, broker dealers, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, non-U.S. trusts and estates that have U.S. beneficiaries and former citizens or residents of the U.S. This summary also does not discuss Class A Common Stock held as part of a hedge, straddle or synthetic security or conversion or other integrated transaction.

This discussion does not address any consequences under any U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws (such as the U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws or the Medicare tax on certain investment income) or the tax laws of any state, local or any non-U.S. jurisdiction.

The following is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for careful tax planning and advice. Investors considering the purchase of Class A Common Stock should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any tax consequences arising under U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws or the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

S-14

Distributions

Any distribution of cash or property (other than certain stock distributions) with respect to our Class A Common Stock (and certain redemptions that are treated as distributions with respect to Class A Common Stock) will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Any dividends that are not effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by you within the U.S. are generally not subject to withholding tax, but instead are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons. A non-U.S. holder with effectively connected dividend income may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate)) on its effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments). Certain certification and disclosure requirements, including delivery of a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), must be satisfied for effectively connected income to be exempt from withholding tax.

If the amount of a distribution paid on our Class A Common Stock exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be allocated ratably among each share of Class A Common Stock with respect to which the distribution is paid and treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in each such share, and thereafter as capital gain from a sale or other taxable disposition of such share of Class A Common Stock that is taxed to you as described below under the heading “Sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A Common Stock.” Your adjusted tax basis in a share is generally the purchase price of such share, reduced by the amount of any such tax-free returns of capital.

If you wish to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate to avoid or reduce withholding tax, then you must (a) provide the withholding agent with a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) and certify under penalties of perjury that you are not a U.S. person and are eligible for treaty benefits, or (b) if our Class A Common Stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that act as intermediaries (including partnerships). If you are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax pursuant to an income tax treaty, then you may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by filing timely an appropriate claim with the IRS.

Sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A Common Stock

You generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to gain realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock (other than a redemption that is treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes and taxed as described above), unless:

— the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business you conduct in the U.S., and, in cases in which certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment;

— you are an individual present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or other taxable disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

— we are or have been during a specified testing period a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and certain other conditions are met. Generally, we will be a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market values of our worldwide real property interests and other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, all as determined under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not currently anticipate becoming, a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

S-15

If you are a non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point above, you will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the net gain derived from the disposition under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. In addition, a non-U.S. corporation may be subject to branch profits tax on any effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments) at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are an individual described in the second bullet point above, you will be subject to a flat 30% tax (or lower applicable treaty rate) on any gain derived from the disposition, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses. Even if we are or become a U.S. real property holding corporation, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain in respect of our Class A Common Stock as long as our Class A Common Stock continues to be traded on an established securities market, unless such non-U.S. holder actually or constructively owned at least 5% of our Class A Common Stock at some time during the specified testing period.

Legislation affecting taxation of Class A Common Stock held by or through foreign entities

Legislation enacted in March 2010 generally will impose a withholding tax of 30% on dividend income from our Class A Common Stock and the gross proceeds of a disposition of our Class A Common Stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” (as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which would include certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders, that are foreign entities with U.S. owners). Absent any applicable exception, this legislation also generally will impose a withholding tax of 30% on dividend income from our Class A Common Stock and the gross proceeds of a disposition of our Class A Common Stock paid to a foreign entity that is not a foreign financial institution (as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the substantial U.S. owners of the entity, which generally includes any U.S. person who directly or indirectly owns more than 10% of the entity. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder of our Class A Common Stock might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes, and a non-U.S. holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Recently finalized Treasury Regulations delayed the implementation of withholding (i) on dividend income until January 1, 2014 and (ii) on gross proceeds from the disposition of stock until January 1, 2017. Investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the implications of this legislation on their investment in Class A Common Stock.

Information reporting and backup withholding

We must report annually to the IRS and to you the amount of dividends paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to such dividends. The IRS may make this information available to the tax authorities in the country in which you are resident.

In addition, you may be subject to information reporting requirements and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) with respect to dividends paid on our Class A Common Stock, unless, generally, you certify under penalties of perjury (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN) that you are not a U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption. Rules relating to information reporting requirements and backup withholding with respect to payments of the proceeds from the disposition of shares of our Class A Common Stock are as follows:

— If the proceeds are paid to or through the U.S. office of a broker, the proceeds generally will be subject to backup withholding and information reporting, unless you certify under penalties of perjury (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN) that you are not a U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption.

— If the proceeds are paid to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is not a U.S. person and is not a foreign person with certain specified U.S. connections, or a “U.S.-related person,” information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply.

S-16

— If the proceeds are paid to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a U.S. person or a U.S.-related person, the proceeds generally will be subject to information reporting (but not to backup withholding), unless you certify under penalties of perjury (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN) that you are not a U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished by you to the IRS.

THE SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. POTENTIAL PURCHASERS OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

UNDERWRITING

The Company, the selling stockholders and the underwriter have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the Class A Common Stock being offered. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase, at the price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock listed next to its name in the following table:

Underwriter	Shares of Class A Common Stock
Goldman, Sachs & Co.		9,250,000
		9,250,000

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter are subject to certain conditions precedent. The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter will purchase all of the Class A Common Stock if any of them are purchased. In the underwriting agreement, we and the selling stockholders have agreed not to, and not to permit any of our subsidiaries to, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, any securities that are substantially similar to the Class A Common Stock within 30 days of the date of this prospectus supplement without the prior consent of the underwriter subject to certain exceptions, including, but not limited to, the ability of the selling stockholders and their affiliates to sell up to 2,500,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock. The underwriter may offer and sell Class A Common Stock through its affiliates. The offering of the Class A Common Stock by the underwriter is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriter’s right to reject any order in whole or in part.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the receipt of certain certificates, opinions, and letters from us, our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm and the selling stockholders and their counsel. The underwriter is offering the shares of our Class A Common Stock, subject to the prior sale of shares, and when, as and if such shares are delivered to and accepted by it. The underwriter proposes to offer the common stock offered hereby from time to time for sale in one or more transactions on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”), in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, subject to receipt and acceptance by it and subject to its right to reject any order in whole or in part. The underwriter may effect such transactions by selling the Class A Common Stock to or through dealers and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriter and/or purchasers of Class A Common Stock for whom they may act as agents or to whom they may sell as principal. The difference between the price at which the underwriter purchases the shares and the price at which the underwriter resells the shares may be deemed underwriting commission.

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares than it is required to purchase in this offering. The underwriter may close out any short sale by purchasing shares in the open market. The underwriter is likely to create a short position if it is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

Purchases to cover a short position, as well as other purchases by the underwriter for its own account, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Company’s stock, and may maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on NASDAQ, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

S-18

The Company has agreed to pay all expenses of the selling stockholders in this offering, excluding deemed underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company estimates that its share of the total expenses of this offering, excluding deemed underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $350,000.00.

The Company and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The underwriter and its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for the Company, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “the Company,” “the Issuer,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Charter Communications, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. “Charter” refers to Charter Communications, Inc., the issuer of the Class A Common Stock offered hereby, alone. Unless otherwise stated, all business data included in this summary is as of September 30, 2010.

Our Business

We are among the largest providers of cable services in the United States, offering a variety of entertainment, information and communications solutions to residential and commercial customers. Our infrastructure consists of a hybrid of fiber and coaxial cable plant passing approximately 12.0 million homes, with 96% of homes passed at 550 MHZ or greater and 96% of plant miles two-way active. A national Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure interconnects all Charter markets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we generated approximately $5.3 billion in revenue, of which approximately 53% was generated from our residential video service. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we generated approximately $6.8 billion in revenue, of which approximately 55% was generated from our residential video service. We also generate revenue from high-speed Internet, telephone service and advertising with residential and commercial high-speed Internet and telephone service contributing the majority of the recent growth in our revenue.

As of September 30, 2010, we served approximately 5.2 million customers. We sell our video, high-speed Internet and telephone services primarily on a subscription basis, often in a bundle of two or more services, providing savings and convenience to our customers. Bundled services are available to approximately 96% of our homes passed, and approximately 60% of our customers subscribe to a bundle of services.

We served approximately 4.7 million video customers as of September 30, 2010, of which approximately 73% subscribed to digital video service. Digital video enables our customers to access advanced services such as high definition television, OnDemand video programming, an interactive program guide and digital video recorder, or DVR service.

We also served approximately 3.2 million high-speed Internet customers as of September 30, 2010. Our high-speed Internet service is available in a variety of download speeds up to 60 Mbps. We also offer home networking service, or Wi-Fi, enabling our customers to connect up to five computers wirelessly in the home.

We provided telephone service to approximately 1.7 million customers as of September 30, 2010. Our telephone services typically include unlimited local and long distance calling to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, plus more than 10 features, including voicemail, call waiting and caller ID.

Through Charter Business^®, we provide scalable, tailored broadband communications solutions to business organizations, such as business-to-business Internet access, data networking, fiber connectivity to cellular towers, video and music entertainment services and business telephone. As of September 30, 2010, we

1

served approximately 255,200 business revenue generating units, including small- and medium-sized commercial customers. Our advertising sales division, Charter Media^®, provides local, regional and national businesses with the opportunity to advertise in individual markets on cable television networks.

We have a history of net losses. Our net losses are principally attributable to insufficient revenue to cover the combination of operating expenses, interest expenses that we incur because of our debt, and depreciation expenses resulting from the capital investments we have made, and continue to make, in our cable properties, and in 2010, amortization expenses resulting from the application of fresh start accounting.

On March 27, 2009, we filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Charter Communications, Inc., et al., Case No. 09-11435. On May 7, 2009, we filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), and a related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”), with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 17, 2009 (the “Confirmation Order”), and became effective on November 30, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), the date on which we emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to Charter’s Plan, funds advised by Franklin Advisers, Inc. had the ability to elect one member to Charter’s post-Effective Date board and elected Robert Cohn who has been serving on the board since the Effective Date. These securities are beneficially owned by one or more open- or closed-end investment companies or other managed accounts that are clients of investment managers that are direct and indirect subsidiaries of Franklin Resources, Inc. Investment management contracts grant to those subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power over such securities, except as otherwise disclosed below. Therefore, such subsidiaries may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of such securities. Beneficial ownership by such subsidiaries and other affiliates of Franklin Resources, Inc. is reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as Franklin Resources, Inc. where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over securities independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, an indirect wholly owned investment management subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc., are exercised independently from Franklin Resources,

8

Inc. and from all of its other investment management subsidiaries. Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC and Franklin Resources, Inc. establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC and the other affiliates of Franklin Resources, Inc. of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC and the other affiliates of Franklin Resources, Inc. report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Exchange Act. Charles B. and Rupert H. Johnson each owns more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of Franklin Resources, Inc. and are its principal stockholders. They and Franklin Resources, Inc. may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for whom or for which subsidiaries of Franklin Resources, Inc. provide investment management services. Franklin Resources, Inc., the Johnsons and such subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in, and any beneficial ownership as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act of, any of these securities. Franklin Resources, Inc., the Johnsons and each subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which such subsidiaries provide investment management services. See footnote 5 to the beneficial ownership table reported under “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for information regarding equity ownership and contact information for funds advised by Franklin Advisers, Inc. Pursuant to Charter’s Plan, funds advised by Franklin Advisers, Inc. had the ability to elect one member to Charter’s post-Effective Date board and elected Robert Cohn, who has been serving on the board since the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the election of Mr. Cohn to the board, Mr. Cohn does not represent or otherwise have any duty to advance the interests of Franklin Advisers, Inc. or any of its direct or indirect affiliates, and Franklin Advisers, Inc. does not believe that it is an affiliate of Charter as a result of Mr. Cohn serving as a director of Charter.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary of the terms of our capital stock is not meant to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws are filed as exhibits to the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 20, 2010 and December 4, 2009, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Authorized Capital Stock upon Emergence

Charter has the authority to issue a total of 1,175,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of:

— 900,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock;

— 25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock; and

— 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Common Stock

Common Stock Outstanding

The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of our preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future.

To the greatest extent permitted by applicable Delaware law, the shares of Class A Common Stock are uncertificated, and transfer will be reflected by book-entry, unless a physical certificate is requested by a holder.

The Class B Common Stock is identical to the Class A Common Stock except with respect to certain voting, transfer and conversion rights. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder or, at any time on or after January 1, 2011 and until September 15, 2014, at the option of a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors, and at any time after September 15, 2014 at the election of a majority of the members of the board of directors (other than members of the board of directors elected by holders of Class B Common Stock). Class B Common Stock is subject to significant transfer restrictions. Class A Common Stock, however, issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, is not subject to the same restrictions. Shares of Class B Common Stock must at all times be held only by (i) Mr. Paul G. Allen, (ii) his estate, spouse, immediate family members and heirs, and (iii) any trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the beneficiaries, stockholders, partners or other owners of which consist exclusively of Mr. Allen or such other persons referred to in clause (ii) above or a combination of the above, which we refer to collectively as Authorized Class B Holders, and upon any transfer to a person or entity other than an Authorized Class B Holder, each share of Class B Common Stock will be automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock. Shares of the Class B Common Stock are only to be issued to Mr. Allen or certain of his affiliates.

Voting Rights

Holders of shares of our capital stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors, as follows:

— shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share; and

— shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to a number of votes per share, which at all times when shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding represent 35% of the combined voting power of the Company’s capital stock, on a fully diluted basis.

11

Mr. Allen and entities affiliated with Mr. Allen hold in excess of 35% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of Charter and have the right to elect four of 11 members of the board of directors. There may be additional holders of significant voting power in Charter, though pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, prior to September 15, 2014, the votes attributable to each share of Class A Common Stock held by any holder (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) will be automatically reduced pro rata among all shares of Class A Common Stock held by such holder and (if applicable) shares of Class A Common Stock held by any other holder (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) included in any “person” or “group” with such holder so that no “person” or “group” (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) is or becomes the holder or beneficial owner (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) such “person” shall be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition), directly or indirectly, of more than 34.9% of the combined voting power of the capital stock of Charter, subject to waiver by the disinterested members of the board of directors as provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. We refer to this voting power limitation as the Voting Threshold. Holders of Class B Common Stock (other than Mr. Allen and certain of his affiliates) are also subject to a reduction of their voting power to comply with the Voting Threshold.

The holders of Common Stock and their respective affiliates will not have cumulative voting rights.

Pursuant to our amended and restated bylaws, the number of members of the board of directors shall be fixed at 11 members. Except for the initial board of directors, which was appointed pursuant to the terms of the Plan, for as long as shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding, holders of Class B Common Stock have the right to elect 35% of the members of the board of directors (rounded up to the next whole number), and all other members of the board of directors will be elected by majority vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock (and any series of preferred stock then entitled to vote at an election of the directors). In addition, members of the board of directors elected by holders of Class B Common Stock have no less than proportionate representation on each committee of the board of directors, subject to applicable SEC and stock exchange rules and except for any committee formed solely for the purpose of reviewing, recommending and/or authorizing any transaction in which holders of Class B Common Stock or their affiliates (other than Charter or its subsidiaries) are interested parties.

Under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (i) any director may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (and any series of preferred stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors), voting together as a single class, (ii) any director elected by the holders of Class B Common Stock voting separately as a class may be removed from office, without cause, solely by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, and (iii) any director elected by the vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock voting separately as a class (including holders of voting preferred stock, as applicable) may be removed from office, without cause, solely by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class (including any holders of voting preferred stock entitled to vote thereon).

Dividend Rights

Subject to limitations under Delaware law, preferences that may apply to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, and contractual restrictions, holders of each class of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends or other distributions when and if declared by the board of directors. In addition to such restrictions, whether any future dividends are paid to Charter’s stockholders will depend on decisions that will be made by the board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including Charter’s financial condition, contractual restrictions, corporate law restrictions, capital requirements and business prospects. The ability of the board of directors to declare dividends also will be subject to the rights of any holders of

12

outstanding shares of Charter’s preferred stock, if any, and the availability of sufficient funds under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) to pay dividends.

Warrants to Purchase Class A Common Stock

Pursuant to the Plan, Charter issued warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock to (i) holders of notes issued by CCH I Holdings, LLC (“CIH”) (the “CIH Warrants”), (ii) holders of notes issued by Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (“Charter Holdings” or “CCH”) (the “CCH Warrants”) and (iii) Charter Investment, Inc. (“CII”), an entity that was previously 100% owned by Mr. Allen² (the “CII Warrants”). The CIH Warrants, CCH Warrants and CII Warrants have an exercise price of $46.86, $51.28 and $19.80, respectively. Each of the CIH Warrants and CCH Warrants expire five years after the date of issuance. The CII Warrants expire seven years after the date of issuance. The warrants provide for a cashless exercise by the warrant holder. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events including: stock subdivisions, combinations, splits, stock dividends, capital reorganizations, or capital reclassifications of Class A Common Stock and in connection with certain distributions of cash, assets or securities. In addition, holders of certain of the warrants have the right to participate, along with other holders of Common Stock, in future below-market offerings of rights to purchase securities (including, but not limited to, Common Stock) on an as-exercised basis. The warrants are not redeemable.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Charter, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to share pari passu in the net assets of Charter available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock.

Preemptive Rights

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have no preemptive rights.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the board of directors may impose restrictions on the trading of Charter’s stock if (i) Charter has experienced an “owner shift” as determined for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of at least 25 percentage points and (ii) the equity value of Charter has fallen below $3.2 billion. These restrictions, which are intended to preserve Charter’s ability to use its net operating losses, which we refer to as NOLs, may prohibit any person from acquiring stock of Charter if such person is a “5% shareholder” or would become a “5% shareholder” as a result of such acquisition. The restrictions will not operate to prevent any stockholder from disposing of shares and are subject to certain other exceptions relating to shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Plan. The board of directors’ ability to impose these restrictions will terminate on November 30, 2014.

In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in addition to any affirmative vote required by law or our amended and restated bylaws, a “business combination” (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) involving as a party, or proposed by or on behalf of, an “interested stockholder,” an “affiliate,” or an “associate” of the “interested stockholder” (each as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) or a person who upon consummation of the “business combination” would become an “affiliate” or “associate” of an “interested stockholder” requires, unless prohibited by law, that (i) a majority of the members of the board of directors who are not an “affiliate” or “associate” or representative of an “interested stockholder” must determine that the “business combination,” including the consideration, is fair to

²  CII warrants were transferred to Mr. Allen on or about February 8, 2010 and in connection with the exchange of his Holdco Units, Mr. Allen further transferred ownership of CII to Charter.

13

the Company and its stockholders (other than any “interested stockholder” or its “affiliates and associates); and (ii) holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all of the then outstanding shares of “voting stock” (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), voting together as a single class (excluding voting stock beneficially owned by any “interested stockholder” or its “affiliate” or “associate”) must approve the transaction.

Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, unless: (1) the board of directors approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (2) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (3) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote at a meeting, not by written consent, of stockholders of 2/3 of the holders of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law, or “opt-out.” We have not elected to “opt-out.”

Preferred Stock

Under the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 250 million shares of series of preferred stock and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. If the board of directors decides to issue shares of preferred stock to persons supportive of current management, this could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. Authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Charter.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Mellon Investor Services, LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our Class A Common Stock.

Listing of Our Common Stock

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on NASDAQ under the trading symbol “CHTR.”

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, future sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price of our Class A Common Stock prevailing from time to time.

Sale of Restricted Shares

As of October 31, 2010, we had 112,457,576 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. Except as set forth below, all shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding after this offering will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless held by one of our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Class A Common Stock and Warrants Issued in Reliance on Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code

We relied on section 1145(a)(1) and (2) of the Bankruptcy Code to exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the offer and sale of a portion of our Class A Common Stock, as well as the CIH Warrants and CCH Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock. Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under the Plan from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if certain requirements are satisfied. Section 1145(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities issued under 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, such as the CIH Warrants and CCH Warrants, from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if certain requirements are satisfied. These shares may be resold without registration unless the recipient is an “underwriter” with respect to those securities. Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code defines an “underwriter” as any person who:

— purchases a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense against the debtor, if that purchase is with a view to distributing any security received in exchange for such a claim or interest;

— offers to sell securities offered under the Plan for the holders of those securities;

— offers to buy those securities from the holders of the securities, if the offer to buy is (i) with a view to distributing those securities; and (ii) (a) under an agreement made in connection with the Plan, the completion of the Plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the Plan; or (b) is an “affiliate” of the issuer.

To the extent that persons who receive Class A Common Stock are deemed to be “underwriters,” resales by those persons would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Those persons would, however, be permitted to sell our Class A Common Stock or other securities without registration if they are able to comply with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as described further below.

Class A Common Stock Issued in the Rights Offering and Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants issued to Mr. Allen

Certain holders of notes of certain of our subsidiaries (the “Eligible Holders”) agreed to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock in a rights offering pursuant to the Plan and certain commitment agreements. In addition, we issued shares of Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants to CII (an entity then controlled by Mr. Allen) pursuant to the Plan. The Class A Common Stock issued to the Eligible Holders pursuant to the rights

offering, and the Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants issued to CII pursuant to the Plan, are exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, are deemed “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or in compliance with an applicable exemption therefrom. As a result, the Class A Common Stock issued to the Eligible Holders, and Class B Common Stock and CII Warrants, are not freely tradeable.

Pursuant to the Plan and a registration rights agreement that we entered into with the members of the Crossover Committee (as defined in the Plan), CII and Mr. Allen, we are required to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Class A Common Stock issued to the members of the Crossover Committee, and any Class A Common Stock issued to or issuable to Mr. Allen (or his designees) upon (i) exchange of his Class B Common Stock and his membership units in Charter Holdco, our subsidiary, or (ii) exercise of his CII Warrants, to be declared effective by the SEC no later than June 30, 2010, permitting such Class A Common Stock to be freely tradable, subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions set forth in Rule 144 applicable to Class A Common Stock held by affiliates of the Company. Pursuant to such requirement, we have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 of which this prospectus is a part. Eligible Holders that purchased less than 1% of the Class A Common Stock in the rights offering are not entitled to registration rights.

Stock Options and Other Stock Awards

The Plan contemplates the adoption of a new management incentive plan under which shares of our Class A Common Stock, or options or other awards to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, can be issued to the Company’s directors, management and other employees. Under our Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, 7,696,786 shares of Class A Common Stock have been reserved for issuance, and Charter has outstanding as of October 31, 2010, 1,571,986 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock and options to purchase 1,333,155 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain of its employees and non-employee directors. Under Charter’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, options generally vest over four years from the grant date, with 25% generally vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and ratably thereafter. Restricted stock generally vests over a one to three-year period beginning from the date of grant.

We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 covering all of the shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and such shares will be freely tradeable in the public market as soon as issued subject to certain limitations applicable to affiliates and any restrictions applicable to the vesting of awards.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchaser of the Class A Common Stock, which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the type of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders and any such broker-dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Class A Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters.” As a result, any profits on the sale of the Class A Common Stock by selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholders were deemed to be underwriters, the selling stockholders may be subject to certain statutory liabilities as underwriters under the Securities Act.

If Class A Common Stock is sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions.

The sale of Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more transactions at:

— fixed prices;

— prevailing market prices at the time of sale;

— prices related to prevailing market prices;

— varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

— negotiated prices.

The sale of the Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods:

— on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Class A Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of the sale, including the OTC Bulletin Board;

— transactions involving cross or block trades;

— in the over-the counter market;

— through the distribution by any selling stockholder to its partners, members or shareholders;

— in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;

— in privately negotiated transactions; or

— any combination of the foregoing.

In connection with the sales of Class A Common Stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. These broker-dealers may in turn engage in short sales of Class A Common Stock in the course of hedging their positions. The selling stockholders may also sell the Class A Common Stock short and deliver the Class A Common Stock to close out short positions, or loan or pledge the Class A Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell the Class A Common Stock.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

We know of no existing arrangements between any selling stockholder, any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of Class A Common Stock by the selling stockholders. In addition, we cannot assure you that any such selling stockholders will not transfer, devise or gift the Class A Common Stock by other means not described in this prospectus. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the Class A Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, any Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus that qualifies for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock to the public, other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. Under the Plan we are also obligated to provide customary indemnification to selling stockholders.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.

We have advised each of the selling stockholders that while it is engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this prospectus it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby this prospectus.

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this prospectus have been sold by the selling stockholders.
