(a) The accreted value presented above represents the face value of the notes less the original issue discount
at the time of sale plus the accretion to the balance sheet date.
(b) In general, the obligors have the right to redeem all of the notes set forth (except the Charter Holdings
notes with terms of eight years) in the above tables in whole or part at their option, beginning at various
times prior to their stated maturity dates, subject to certain conditions, upon the payment of the
outstanding principal amount (plus a speciÑed redemption premium) and all accrued and unpaid interest.
We currently have no intention of redeeming any of these notes prior to their stated maturity dates. For
additional information, see Note 9 to our consolidated Ñnancial statements contained herein.
(c) The 5.75% convertible senior notes and the 4.75% convertible senior notes are convertible at the option of
the holders into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion rate of 46.3822 and 38.0952 shares,
respectively, per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to a price of $21.56 and $26.25 per
share, respectively, subject to certain adjustments. SpeciÑcally, the adjustments include anti-dilutive
provisions, which cause adjustments to occur automatically based on the occurrence of speciÑed events to
provide protection rights to holders of the notes. Additionally, the conversion ratio may be adjusted by us
when deemed appropriate.
As of December 31, 2003, we had unused total potential availability of $1.7 billion under our subsidiaries'
credit facilities, although our Ñnancial covenants limited our availability to $828 million at December 31,
2003. Continued access to these credit facilities is subject to our remaining in compliance with the applicable
covenants of these credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the weighted average interest rate on our bank debt was
approximately 5.4%, the weighted average interest rate on our high-yield debt was approximately 10.3%, and
the weighted average rate on the convertible debt was approximately 5.5% and 5.3%, respectively, resulting in
a blended weighted average interest rate of 8.2% and 7.9%, respectively. Approximately 80% of our debt
eÅectively bore Ñxed interest rates including the eÅects of our interest rate hedge agreements as of
December 31, 2003 compared to approximately 79% at December 31, 2002. The fair value of our high-yield
debt was $10.6 billion and $4.4 billion at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair value of bank
debt was $6.9 billion and $6.4 billion at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair value of high-yield
debt and bank debt is based on quoted market prices.
