Middletown, NY - (August 14, 2012) - Mediacom Broadband LLC and Mediacom Broadband Corporation (the “Companies”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mediacom Communications Corporation, announced today that they have commenced a cash tender offer for up to $300 million principal amount (the “Tender Cap”) of their outstanding 8 1/2% senior notes due 2015 (the “8 1/2% Notes”). The tender offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 14, 2012, and accompanying Letter of Transmittal. There is currently outstanding $500 million principal amount of the 8 1/2% Notes, and the tender offer represents an offer for up to 60% of the outstanding 8 1/2% Notes. The principal amount of 8 1/2% Notes purchased from any individual noteholder may be prorated as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 12, 2012, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”).

(1) 

Per $1,000 principal amount of 8 1/2% Notes that are accepted for purchase.

(2) 

The Total Consideration equals the Tender Offer Consideration, plus the Early Tender Payment.

A noteholder that tenders its 8 1/2% Notes prior to the Early Tender Date of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 2012, will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment, plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. A noteholder that chooses to tender its 8 1/2% Notes after the Early Tender Date and at or prior to the Expiration Time will only be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration and not the Early Tender Payment, plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

The Companies expect to accept for purchase on or promptly following the Early Tender Date (such date, the “Early Acceptance Date”) 60% of the 8 1/2% Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Date. The 8 1/2% Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Acceptance Date will receive payment of the Total Consideration for such notes on or promptly after the Early Acceptance Date (the date of such payment, the “Early Settlement Date”), together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of all such notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

If the tender offer is oversubscribed, the Companies intend to accept for purchase promptly following the Expiration Time (the date of such acceptance, the “Final Acceptance Date”) the total amount of 8 1/2% Notes tendered multiplied by a final proration percentage less any 8 1/2% Notes previously purchased on the Early Settlement Date, in accordance with the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Companies will determine to what extent to accept for purchase on the Final Acceptance Date, for the Total Consideration, the remaining 8 1/2% Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date, but not accepted on the Early Acceptance Date, based on the application of such proration procedures.

The Companies’ obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for 8 1/2% Notes is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including the receipt of financing to purchase the 8 1/2% Notes in the tender offer. The tender offer is not contingent upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of 8 1/2% Notes and the Companies reserve the right to increase the Tender Cap and to waive any one or more of the conditions at any time.

The Companies have retained Wells Fargo Securities and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey to serve as dealer managers of the tender offer, and i-Deal LLC to serve as information agent and depositary. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and related documents may be obtained from i-Deal LLC at (888) 593-9546 (toll-free) or, for banks and brokers, (212) 849-5000.
