Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 5, 2017, Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) entered into a Wireless Operational Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) (each of Comcast and Charter, a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”).

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, for a period of one year, Comcast and Charter have agreed to explore potential opportunities for operational cooperation in their respective wireless businesses, including with respect to common billing and operating platforms, technical standards development and harmonization, device forward and reverse logistics, and emerging wireless technology platforms. Additionally, the Parties have agreed to work only together with respect to national mobile network operators, through potential commercial arrangements, including MVNOs and other material transactions in the wireless industry, for a period of one year.

The Cooperation Agreement does not, among other things, restrict either Party’s development and/or delivery of wireless services for its cable customers through the exercise or implementation of any rights under each Party’s MVNO agreement with Verizon Wireless.

The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Cooperation Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
