CNYG Stock Performance Graph
The chart below compares the performance of the Company's CNYG Class A common stock with the
performance of the S&P 500 Index and a Peer Group Index by measuring the changes in CNYG Class A
common stock prices from December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2013. As required by the SEC, the
values shown assume the reinvestment of all dividends and also reflect the effect of the AMC Networks
Distribution and MSG Distribution. Because no published index of comparable media companies
currently reports values on a dividends-reinvested basis, the Company has created a Peer Group Index for
purposes of this graph in accordance with the requirements of the SEC. The Peer Group Index is made up
of companies that engage in cable television operations as a significant element of their business,
although not all of the companies included in the Peer Group Index participate in all of the lines of
business in which the Company is engaged and some of the companies included in the Peer Group Index
also engage in lines of business in which the Company does not participate. Additionally, the market
capitalizations of many of the companies included in the Peer Group are quite different from that of the
Company. The common stocks of the following companies have been included in the Peer Group Index
for 2013: Comcast Corporation, Mediacom Communications Corporation (until March 4, 2011 when
Mediacom stock ceased trading), Time Warner Cable Inc., and Charter Communications (from
December 2, 2009, when Charter emerged from bankruptcy). The chart assumes $100 was invested on
December 31, 2008 in each of the Company's CNYG Class A common stock, the S&P 500 Index and in a
Peer Group Index and reflects reinvestment of dividends on a quarterly basis and market capitalization
weighting.
