Cablevision Systems Corporation (“Cablevision”) announced that Michael P.

He will remain employed as Executive Vice President through July 1, 2011 (the “Separation Date”) to assist the Companies with an orderly transition of his duties. Effective June 7, 2011, Gregg G. Seibert, the Executive Vice President of the Companies, will become Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Companies.

In connection with Mr. Huseby’s departure, Cablevision entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Huseby on June 7, 2011. The letter agreement provides that Mr. Huseby will receive severance benefits to which he is entitled under his employment agreement with Cablevision dated May 21, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”) upon a termination without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement). In particular, Mr. Huseby will receive cash severance of $3,993,800 (60% on or about January 3, 2012 and 40% on or about July 2, 2012) and a pro rata portion of his 2011 annual bonus. The pro rata portion of his 2011 annual bonus will be paid only if and when such bonuses are generally paid to similarly situated employees. Mr. Huseby’s outstanding Deferred Compensation Award issued under Cablevision’s Long-Term Incentive Plan in October 2009 will be vested in the amount of $824,753 on the Separation Date and paid on or about January 3, 2012, and a pro rata portion of his outstanding long-term cash performance award issued under Cablevision’s 2006 Cash Incentive Plan in March 2009 (which has a target value of $615,000) will be vested on the Separation Date and paid at the same time and on the same basis as paid to other similarly situated participants pursuant to the determination of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Cablevision. Any other outstanding equity or cash incentive awards will be treated in accordance with their terms. Mr. Huseby will be paid any vested benefits accrued under Cablevision’s qualified pension plan, non-qualified supplemental pension plan, 401(k) plan or any other benefit plan sponsored by Cablevision.
