Schedule of effects on statement of shareholders' equity due to ownership changes

Total shareholders' equity was also adjusted during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 due to changes in Charter Holdings' ownership, including the impact of the preferred unit conversion discussed above, as follows.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020		2019
Decrease in noncontrolling interest	$	(2,153)	$	(534)	$	(226)

As a result of the preferred unit conversion, the preferred noncontrolling interest carrying amount of $3.2 billion was reclassified to common noncontrolling interest and remeasured to $2.0 billion representing the relative effective Charter Holdings common ownership amount in all Charter Holdings partnership capital account balances resulting in a $1.2 billion reclass from noncontrolling interest to additional paid-in capital. A deferred tax liability of $300 million was recorded with the offset to additional paid-in capital as part of the Charter Holdings ownership change equity adjustments.
