POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FORM S-8
INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
On March 4, 1998, Cablevision Systems Corporation ("Old Cablevision")
effected a holding company restructuring (the "Holding Company Restructuring")
pursuant to an Amended and Restated Contribution and Merger Agreement, dated as
of June 6, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Old Cablevision, CSC
Parent Corporation, a Delaware corporation (as renamed Cablevision Systems
Corporation, the "Registrant"), CSC Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Merger Sub") and TCI Communications, Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement
Merger Sub was merged (the "Merger") with and into Old Cablevision, with Old
Cablevision as the surviving corporation.
As a result of the Merger, Old Cablevision became a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant. In addition, the Registrant changed its name from
CSC Parent Corporation to Cablevision Systems Corporation. Each share of Class A
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Old Cablevision issued and
outstanding was converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Registrant and each share of Class B Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Old Cablevision issued and outstanding was converted
into and exchanged for one share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of the Registrant.
POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT
This post-effective amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in connection with
the Holding Company Restructuring. In accordance with Rule 414 under the
Securities Act, the Registrant, as the successor issuer to Old Cablevision,
hereby expressly adopts this registration statement as its own for all purposes
of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
Cablevision Systems Corporation 1985 Employee Stock Plan to which this
registration statement relates (the "Plan") shall be known as the Cablevision
Systems Corporation 1985 Employee Stock Plan. Subsequent to the Holding Company
Restructuring, the Plan will continue to cover employees or directors, as the
case may be, of Old Cablevision and its subsidiaries. However, awards issued in
accordance with the Plan shall be shares of stock, and options to purchase
shares of stock, of the Registrant rather than shares of stock, and options to
purchase shares of stock, of Old Cablevision. Additionally, the sponsor of the
Plan shall be the Registrant rather than Old Cablevision.
The applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original
filing of this registration statement.
