Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay Versus Performance Pay Versus Performance Results & Discussion An assessment of Charter’s pay versus performance alignment was conducted pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, evaluating the alignment of Charter’s executive pay, stock price performance, and financial performance for the 3-year period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 (referred to as the “measurement period” throughout this Pay Versus Performance discussion). As discussed on page 26 of the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, Charter’s philosophy for NEO compensation is to provide the largest portion of pay in the form of long-term incentives that vest over a multi-year timeframe and are tied to stock price appreciation; it is Charter’s view that this creates the strongest possible alignment between executives and shareholders. When evaluating this philosophy through the lens of pay versus performance, actual compensation realized or earned by NEOs should therefore be primarily dependent upon Charter creating sustained stock price growth, with increases in executive pay from periods of stock price appreciation and decreases in executive pay from periods where the stock price declines. Furthermore, while financial performance achievement drives payouts under Charter’s annual bonus plan, such outcomes should have a lesser impact than stock price performance given that – based on values disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table – 2022 bonus payouts represented 16% of Mr. Rutledge’s total compensation, 13% of Mr. Winfrey’s total compensation, and 16% of total compensation for the other NEOs relative to the value of stock options granted in 2022, which represented 77% of Mr. Rutledge’s total compensation, 77% of Mr. Winfrey’s total compensation, and 64% of total compensation for the other NEOs. For purposes of evaluating the impact of performance on pay, the required disclosure utilizes two measurements of compensation, referred to as the “Summary Compensation Table Total” and “Compensation Actually Paid”. These measures are formally defined in the “Description of Disclosure Requirements” at the end of this section (which also provides complete information on the methodology for the pay versus performance analysis), but are summarized as follows:
| • |  | Summary Compensation Table Total – Total compensation as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for each year, approximating an NEO’s target compensation opportunity with the exception that it reflects actual payouts from the annual bonus plan (versus target opportunities) and includes certain other compensation and benefits items not traditionally included in target compensation, such as matching contributions to the Company’s 401(k) plan.
| • |  | Compensation Actually Paid – The Summary Compensation Table Total with certain modifications applied to capture the change in the actual value of such compensation over time. With respect to Charter’s executive pay program, the difference between the Summary Compensation Table Total and Compensation Actually Paid primarily represents the change in fair value of unvested long-term incentive awards, mainly stock options, over the course of the year.
As outlined above, in order to demonstrate alignment between pay and performance for Charter’s executive compensation program, Compensation Actually Paid should be greater than or less than the Summary Compensation Table Total in proportion to respective positive or negative TSR achievement and, to a lesser degree, financial performance. Based on the outcomes observed from the pay versus performance analysis as applied to Charter – detailed below in both the required Tabular Disclosure of Pay Versus Performance as well as the Pay Versus Performance Graph – Charter’s executive pay program demonstrates the anticipated alignment between targeted compensation, actual compensation, stock price performance, and financial performance.

(2) | Mr. Rutledge served as Chairman and CEO in each of 2020, 2021 and 2022 and is therefore included as the CEO in the table for each year. Mr. Winfrey served as President and CEO from December 1, 2022 and is therefore included as the CEO for 2022 only. The average values for Other NEOs pertain to the following executives and their roles for each year:
2020 – John R. Bickham (President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. DiGeronimo (Chief Product & Technology Officer), Mr. Ellen (Senior Executive Vice President), and Mr. Winfrey (Chief Financial Officer) 2021 – Mr. Bickham (Vice Chairman), Mr. DiGeronimo (Chief Product & Technology Officer), Mr. Ellen (Senior Executive Vice President), Ms. Fischer (Chief Financial Officer), and Mr. Winfrey (Chief Operating Officer) 2022 – Mr. DiGeronimo (President, Product & Technology), Mr. Ellen (Senior Executive Vice President), Ms. Fischer (Chief Financial Officer), and Mr. Hargis (Special Advisor to the COO).
