(NASDAQ: CHTR) ("Charter") today announced that, at its special meeting of shareholders this morning, Charter stockholders approved the issuance of shares of common stock of New Charter in connection with New Charter's previously announced acquisition of approximately 33% of the shares of Midwest Cable, Inc. ("GreatLand Connections"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comcast Corporation ("Comcast"), following GreatLand Connections' spin-off from Comcast to Comcast's shareholders. New Charter's acquisition of approximately 33% of the shares of GreatLand will follow a reorganization in which CCH I, LLC, a current subsidiary of Charter, will become the new holding company of Charter through a merger in which each share of Charter's Class A common stock will be exchanged for a share of New Charter's Class A common stock. New Charter's Class A common stock will be traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the same ticker symbol, CHTR, as currently used by Charter. New Charter's acquisition of the stake in GreatLand Connections and the previously announced transactions between Comcast and Charter, which include an asset purchase and asset exchange, in addition to the contribution and spin-off transaction noted above, are subject to various regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
