Pursuant to the terms of that certain Stockholders' Agreement, dated April 13,
1993 (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), by and among the Founders and their
Permitted Transferees, Apollo Cable Partners, L.P. ("Apollo") and the Issuer,
Apollo and the Founders agreed to vote in favor of three persons nominated to be
directors by Apollo and nine persons nominated to be directors by the Founders
in the elections of directors of the Issuer. The number of persons Apollo and
the Founders are entitled to nominate for election as directors is subject to
reduction for each group if the percentage of the Issuer's voting securities
beneficially owned by it is reduced below certain levels. The director
nomination rights expire on April 12, 2003, unless earlier terminated. A copy of
the Stockholders' Agreement can be found at Exhibit 10.16 to the Issuer's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 33-61376) filed with Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 21, 1993.
The Reporting Persons have been advised that Lawrence F. DeGeorge, Lawrence J.
DeGeorge and Apollo sold all their Class B Common Stock, an aggregate of
9,859,336 shares, to Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC") in 1999 and that, as a
consequence of such sale, those persons are no longer bound by the Stockholders'
Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement, LMC succeeded
to certain rights and obligations of Apollo under the Stockholders' Agreement
upon the closing of such transaction. In connection with such transaction, LMC
entered into a Term Sheet (the "Term Sheet") with the Issuer and its subsidiary
United Pan-Europe Communications NV ("UPC"), concerning the Issuer's securities
and other matters and LMC announced it had agreed to assign 50% of such shares
to Microsoft Corporation. The Stockholders' Agreement is to be replaced by a new
agreement when the provisions of the Term Sheet are fully implemented. Each of
the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Class B
Common Stock held by LMC.

Some Founders have transferred at various times all or a portion of their shares
of the Issuer to the following persons: Albert & Carolyn Company, James R.
Carollo Living Trust, John B. Carollo Living Trust, Curtis Rochelle Trust, Jim
Rochelle, the Marian H. Rochelle Revocable Trust, Kathleen Jaure, The Gene W.
Schneider Family Trust, the Revocable Trust of Janet Schneider, Richard H.
Schneider, Robert A. Schneider, Susan G. Schneider and the Revocable Trust of
Henry H. Cate, Jr. As a result of these transfers, the transferees became
subject to the Stockholders' Agreement. Also, in January/February 1999, Susan G.
Schneider sold all her shares of Common Stock and is no longer bound by the
Stockholders' Agreement. As a result of the foregoing transactions, 1,630,720
shares of Class A Common Stock (includes 1,083,838 shares subject to presently
exercisable options) and 9,014,588 shares of Class B Common Stock are held by
the following current parties to the Stockholders' Agreement: Albert M. Carollo,

Mark Schneider, Janet Schneider, the Revocable Trust of Janet Schneider, Richard
H. Schneider, Robert A. Schneider, Henry H. Cate, Jr., and the Revocable Trust
of Henry H. Cate, Jr.
The Issuer's Board of Directors currently consists of eleven members, nine of
whom may be deemed to have been nominated by the Founders and two of whom have
been elected at the request of LMC and Microsoft. Upon full implementation of
the Term Sheet, it is anticipated that the Founders will nominate eight members
and UPC, LMC and Microsoft will each nominate one member of the Board.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, each of the Reporting Persons hereby disclaims
beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the shares of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock held by LMC, any other Founder or their Permitted
Transferees.
