ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
The registrant's registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-57407) relating to $1billion of debt securities was declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 1998.
Under the terms of the registrant's Series H Redeemable Exchangeable
Preferred Stock and Series M Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock the
registrant has the right to redeem a limited amount of such preferred stock in
certain circumstances. The registrant has determined not to effect such a
redemption out of the proceeds of the March 1998 transaction in which
subsidiaries of Tele-Communications, Inc. contributed cable television systems
to the registrant in exchange for an aggregate of 12,235,543 shares of the
registrant's Class A Common Stock and the registrant's assumption of an
aggregate amount of indebtedness for borrowed money equal to $669 million.
Notwithstanding such decision, the registrant retains its right to redeem
Series H or Series M Preferred Stock as otherwise permitted under their
respective certificates of designation.
