<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Resolved: </B>Shareholders request that Charter Communications (&ldquo;Spectrum&rdquo;)
report to shareholders on the outcomes of the Company's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts by publishing quantitative data on workforce

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Supporting Statement:</B> Quantitative data is sought so that investors can assess,

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">The resolution requests that Spectrum report to shareholders on the outcomes of the
Company's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts by publishing quantitative data on workforce composition, and recruitment, retention,
and promotion rates of employees by gender, race, and ethnicity. The reporting should be done at reasonable expense and exclude proprietary
information.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">The resolution explains that investors are seeking quantitative, comparable data
in order to understand the effectiveness of Spectrums&rsquo;s DEI programs. It cites concerns that Spectrum is continuing to be an outlier
in its decision to withhold these data sets.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">The resolution also cites to studies which show that significant barriers exist for
diverse employees advancing within their careers, as well as studies demonstrating the corporate benefits of a diverse workforce.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">Researchers have identified benefits of diverse and inclusive teams include: access
to top talent, better understanding of consumer preferences, a stronger mix of leadership skills, informed strategy discussions, and improved
risk management. Diversity, and the different perspectives it encourages, has also been shown to encourage more creative and innovative
workplace environments.<SUP>7</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">In contrast, companies where harassment and discrimination exist may experience reduced
employee morale and productivity, increased absenteeism, challenges in attracting talent and difficulties in retaining talent. Employees
directly experiencing workplace discrimination are also more likely to experience anxiety and depression, potentially hindering their
ability to contribute in the workplace.<SUP>8</SUP> The implications of a non-inclusive workplace go beyond directly impacted employees;
in a Deloitte study, 80 percent of surveyed full-time employees said that inclusion was an important factor in their employer choice.
Seventy-two percent said that they would consider leaving an employer for a more inclusive work environment.<SUP>9</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">The release of workforce composition data is akin to a balance sheet, detailing diversity
at a single point in time. Just as a balance sheet would, by itself, be insufficient to identify the strength of a company&rsquo;s financials,
so too is the EEO-1, by itself, insufficient in assessing the effectiveness of DEI programs. The Company&rsquo;s inclusion data &ndash;
the hiring, retention and promotion rates of diverse employees &ndash; must also be shared for investors to have a full understanding
of the actual experience of Spectrum&rsquo;s employees. This data is needed for investors to assess if a company is masking a toxic workplace
culture having poor retention rates with high recruitment statistics, for example.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">This places Spectrum in the bottom quartile relative to its peers for its workplace

data. Between September 2020 and September 2021, the number of S&amp;P 100 companies releasing recruitment rate data by gender, race and

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">The proponents note that the Company did not provide a Statement of Opposition for
this proposal. Spectrum, instead referred investors to the company's opposition statement for Proposal #7, which asked that the company
release its EEO-1 report. Proponent&rsquo;s response here will therefore be based off the Statement of Opposition for Proposal #7. However,
this resolution requests a more fulsome reporting of workplace equity data. EEO-1 data is focused on corporate diversity and workplace
composition. Inclusion data (recruitment, retention and promotion rates) provide insights into a company&rsquo;s human capital management
practices and the effectiveness of their DEI programs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">In its Statement of Opposition<SUP>16</SUP> Spectrum states &ldquo;EEO-1 data is
limited by a government form that categorizes our U.S. workforce into certain generic and EEOC-mandated job categories that fail to account
for company or industry-specific roles. It is a backward-looking snapshot of limited categories, has little bearing on our business or
the customers that we serve, and is not an accurate measure of progress toward our goal of developing an inclusive environment.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">Proponent responds that the EEO-1 data set, while it does not perfectly reflect Spectrum's
internal structure, provides two key assurances to investors: 1) it allows comparison of Spectrum's workforce to other companies, 2) in
its standardized, government mandated structure, it assures that Spectrum is not selective in the data that it releases.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">In its Statement of Opposition, Spectrum states &ldquo;Our workforce reflects the
full range of diversity and abilities in the markets we serve, and are actively working to promote diversity at every level of our organization.&rdquo;
While this commitment is admirable, the proponents note that without the release of promotion, recruitment, and retention rate data, it&rsquo;s
virtually impossible to measure the effectiveness of these efforts.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman; margin: 0pt 0">It is concerning that Spectrum continues to resist the sharing of even these datasets.
Proponents in this case seek further data allowing an analysis of the effectiveness of the company&rsquo;s DEI program, an analysis that
requires EEO-1 data and recruitment, retention, and promotion rates of employees by gender, race, and ethnicity.</P>
