CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
General
The Company is committed to maintaining strong corporate governance practices that allocate rights and
responsibilities among stockholders, the Board of Directors and management in a manner that benefits the long-
term interests of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, the Company’s corporate governance practices are
designed not merely to satisfy regulatory requirements, but to provide for effective oversight and management of
the Company.
The Board has devoted substantial attention to the subject of corporate governance. Among other things, the
Board has established a Nominating and Governance Committee and has developed a Corporate Governance
Policy. The Board refines this Policy from time to time as it deems necessary. The Corporate Governance Policy
sets forth the basic “rules of the road” to guide how the Board and its committees operate.
The Board of Directors also regularly holds executive sessions without management present, conducts
examinations of management’s and the Board’s performance, has adopted a code of conduct for employees and
has enacted a set of ethics guidelines specifically for outside directors. The Board of Directors engages in a
regular process of reviewing its corporate governance practices, including comparing its practices with those
recommended by various corporate governance groups, the expectations of the Company’s stockholders, and the
practices of other leading public companies. The Company also regularly reviews its practices in light of
proposed and adopted laws and regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and
the rules and listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), on which the Common Stock is
listed for trading.
Information on the Company’s corporate governance is available to the public under “Corporate
Governance” at www.twc.com/investors on the Company’s website. The information on the website includes: the
Company’s by-laws, its Corporate Governance Policy (which includes the Board’s categorical standards for
determining director independence), the charters of the Board’s four standing committees, the Company’s codes
of conduct, and information regarding the process by which stockholders may communicate with members of the
Board of Directors. These documents are also available in print by writing to the Company’s Corporate Secretary
at the following address: Time Warner Cable Inc., 60 Columbus Circle, New York, New York 10023, Attn:
General Counsel.
