<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">October&nbsp;2, 2018 (NEW YORK) &#151; Following the initial public offering of Altice USA (&#147;Altice USA&#148;, NYSE: ATUS) and subsequent separation from Altice Europe NV (&#147;Altice Europe NV&#148;, Euronext: ATC ATCB), Altice USA has announced its intention to further simplify its structure and operations by combining (the &#147;Combination&#148;) the Suddenlink (Cequel) and Optimum (Cablevision) businesses under a single credit silo.
