(d) On June 30, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Altice USA, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Susan C. Schnabel as a director of the Company, effective June 30, 2021. Ms. Schnabel will serve on the Board until the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and until her successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board also appointed Ms. Schnabel to serve on the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board. There are currently no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Schnabel and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Schnabel was elected as a director, and there are currently no transactions in which Ms. Schnabel has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Ms. Schnabel will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program, under which she will receive an annual cash retainer of $72,500 as well as annual cash retainers of $22,500 and $5,000 for her role as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board and Compensation Committee of the Board, respectively.
