Purchases of Equity Securities
Our Class A common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CMCSA and our Class A Special
common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CMCSK. There is no established public trading
market for our Class B common stock. Our Class B common stock can be converted, on a share for share basis, into Class A or
Class A Special common stock.
We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors. In
February 2013, our Board of Directors approved a 20% increase in our dividend to $0.78 per share on an annualized basis and
approved our first quarter dividend of $0.195 per share to be paid in April 2013.
Holders of our Class A common stock in the aggregate hold 66 /
% of the voting power of our common stock. The number of
votes that each share of our Class A common stock has at any given time depends on the number of shares of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock then outstanding. Holders of shares of our Class A Special 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 the same number of votes per share as shares of Class A common stock. Our Class B common stock has a 33 /
%
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.
