_______________ 

(a)
Represents enterprise-level goodwill that is allocated to our Puerto Rico segment for purposes of our impairment tests.

Based on the results of our October 1, 2016 goodwill impairment test, a hypothetical decline of 20% or more in the fair value of any of CWC’s reporting units could result in the need to record a goodwill impairment charge. If, among other factors, (i) the equity values of the LiLAC Group were to decline or (ii) the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause CWC’s results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets. Any such impairment charges could be significant.
