Time Warner Cable to Acquire Cable Systems from NewWave Communications

Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE: TWC) and NewWave Communications today announced a definitive agreement under which Time Warner Cable will acquire cable systems serving approximately 70,000 basic video subscribers, 42,000 HSD subscribers, and 26,000 phone subscribers in Kentucky and western Tennessee for $260 million in cash. “This deal is yet another example of our disciplined approach to capital allocation and M&A. Taking into account a full tax step-up and significant operational synergies, the deal enables us to expand our cable footprint at a purchase price that compares favorably with Time Warner Cable’s current trading multiples,” said Rob Marcus, President and COO, Time Warner Cable. “We look forward to serving these customers and bringing to them all the dynamic products and services Time Warner Cable has to offer.”

“NewWave acquired many of these properties as long ago as 2003 and this transaction allows NewWave to realize a return for our investors while allowing our team to concentrate on our ongoing operations in our other service areas. We’re very pleased to work with Time Warner Cable on this transaction and we are sure they will be a great company for our communities and employees,” said Jim Gleason, CEO of NewWave Communications. “The NewWave team has done a tremendous job of improving the overall products and service to our customers in Kentucky and Tennessee since acquiring these systems and we thank them for their efforts.”

This transaction is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of FCC, franchise and antitrust approval. The parties expect closing to occur during the fourth quarter of 2011. Time Warner Cable and NewWave Communications will work together to provide a smooth transition for customers and employees.

RBC Daniels acted as exclusive financial advisor and K&L Gates LLP acted as legal advisor to NewWave on this transaction. Edwards, Angell, Palmer & Dodge LLP served as legal advisor to Time Warner Cable.
