CONTINUATION PAGES OF AMENDMENT NO. 3
TO SCHEDULE 13D FILED BY
THOMAS CHARLES DOLAN, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS TRUSTEE
This Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, dated November 15, 1994, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated October 29, 1996, and Amendment No. 2
thereto, dated June 27, 1997 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"), previously
filed by Thomas Charles Dolan ("Mr. Dolan"), relates to Mr. Dolan's beneficial
ownership of the stock of Cablevision Systems Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Issuer"). Items 2 and 5 are hereby supplemented and amended.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
(c) The present principal occupation of Mr. Dolan is Senior Vice
President, Chief Information Officer of Cablevision Systems Corporation,
1111 Stewart Avenue, Bethpage, NY 11714.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) Mr. Dolan may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of
1,256,064 shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of his beneficial ownership
of (i) 1,212,464 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
the Issuer (the "Class B Common Stock") which are convertible at the option of
the holder share for share into Class A Common Stock; (ii) options to purchase
39,600 shares of Class A Common Stock; and (iii) 4,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock. This aggregate amount represents 1% of the outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock (including shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of shares of the Class B Common Stock and shares which may be
acquired upon the exercise of options).
(b) Mr. Dolan has the (i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote of
43,600 shares of Class A Common Stock (including shares of Class A Common Stock
which may be acquired upon the exercise of options); (ii) shared power to vote
or direct the vote of 1,212,464 shares of Class B Common Stock convertible into
Class A Common Stock; (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition
of 43,600 shares of Class A Common Stock (including shares of Class A Common
Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of options); and (iv) shared power
to dispose or to direct the disposition of 1,212,464 shares of Class B Common
Stock convertible into Class A Common Stock.
(e) Mr. Dolan resigned as a trustee of the Dolan Grandchildren Trust
and Dolan Spouse Trust on October 27, 1999. Prior to that date, Mr. Dolan's
ownership percentage had fallen below 5% due to the increase in the number of
shares of Class A Common Stock currently outstanding.
