ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
The following description amends and supercedes the description
included in the Registrants' Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2000:
On June 19, 2000, Cablevision Systems Corporation ("Cablevision")
commenced an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery to protect its rights
regarding an agreement, dated as of March 28, 2000, among Excite@Home, AT&T
Corp., Comcast Corporation and Cox Communications, Inc. Cablevision sought a
temporary restraining order to prevent consummation of the transactions
contemplated by that agreement.
On June 22, 2000, Excite@Home, AT&T, Comcast and Cox voluntarily agreed
not to take any action towards consummating their announced transaction,
including the filing of their amended charter, until after resolution of
Cablevision's claims at a trial.
On June 30, 2000, Excite@Home, AT&T, Comcast and Cox filed answers in
the Delaware Court of Chancery to Cablevision's complaint. In addition,
Excite@Home asserted counterclaims against Cablevision seeking to rescind its
agreements with Cablevision and cancel the Excite@Home warrants owned by
Cablevision. In the alternative, Excite@Home sought an award of money damages
and a decree requiring Cablevision to comply with the provisions of its
distribution agreement with Excite@Home.
On August 17, 2000, Cablevision and Excite@Home announced that the
parties agreed to dismiss Cablevision's claims against Excite@Home and its
partners immediately, and Cablevision consented to Excite@Home's completion of
the transactions contemplated by the March 28, 2000 agreement. Cablevision and
Excite@Home further agreed to dismiss without prejudice Excite@Home's claims
against Cablevision.
