Holders of our Class A common stock in the aggregate hold

common stock cannot vote in the election of directors or
otherwise, except where class voting is required by law. In
that case, shares of our Class A Special common stock have

nondilutable voting interest, and each share of Class B
common stock has 15 votes per share. Mr. Brian L. Roberts
beneficially owns all outstanding shares of our Class B
common stock. Generally, including as to the election of
directors, holders of Class A common stock and Class B
common stock vote as one class except where class voting is
required by law.
