Special Meeting of Stockholders of TWC (See Page [—])

Meeting. The TWC special meeting will be held on [—], 2014, at [—], located at [—], at [—], local time. At the TWC special meeting, TWC stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

Record Date. The TWC board of directors has fixed the close of business on [—], 2014, as the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at the TWC special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the TWC special meeting. Only TWC stockholders of record at the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the TWC special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the TWC special meeting. As of the close of business on [—], 2014, there were [—] shares of TWC common stock outstanding. Each holder of TWC common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of TWC common stock owned at the record date.

Quorum. The presence at the TWC special meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast for each proposal at the record date (the close of business on [—], 2014) will constitute a quorum for such proposal. Abstentions will be deemed present at the TWC special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares of TWC common stock held in “street name” with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record will not be deemed present at the TWC special meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. There must be a quorum for business to be conducted at the TWC special meeting. Failure of a quorum to be represented at the TWC special meeting will necessitate an adjournment or postponement and will subject TWC to additional expense.

Adjournment. In accordance with TWC’s by-laws, the TWC special meeting may be adjourned by the Chairman of the meeting. If the TWC special meeting is adjourned, stockholders who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use.

Required Vote. To adopt the merger agreement, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of TWC common stock entitled to vote is required. TWC cannot complete the merger unless its stockholders adopt the merger agreement. Because adoption requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of TWC common stock entitled to vote, a TWC stockholder’s abstention from voting, the failure of a TWC stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record or a TWC stockholder’s other failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adoption of the merger agreement.

To approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, “golden parachute” compensation payments that will or may be paid by TWC to its named executive officers in connection with the merger, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the TWC special meeting by holders of shares of TWC common stock is required. An abstention is not considered a vote cast. Accordingly, assuming a quorum is present, a TWC stockholder’s abstention from voting, the failure of a TWC stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record or a TWC stockholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to approve the “golden parachute” compensation proposal.

Stock Ownership of and Voting by TWC Directors and Executive Officers. At the record date for the TWC special meeting (the close of business on [—], 2014), TWC’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates

beneficially owned and had the right to vote [—] shares of TWC common stock at the TWC special meeting, which represents approximately [—]% of the shares of TWC common stock entitled to vote at the TWC special meeting.

It is expected that TWC’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement and “FOR” the “golden parachute” compensation proposal, although none of them has entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

Special Meeting of Shareholders of Comcast (See Page [—])

Meeting. The Comcast special meeting will be held on [—], 2014, at [—], located at [—], at [—], local time. At the Comcast special meeting, Comcast shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

Record Date. The Comcast board of directors has fixed the close of business on [—], 2014, as the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote at the Comcast special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Only Comcast Class A shareholders and Comcast Class B shareholders who held shares at the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Comcast special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Comcast special meeting. Holders of shares of Comcast Class A Special common stock are not entitled to vote at the Comcast special meeting. As of the close of business on [—], 2014, there were [—] shares of Comcast Class A common stock outstanding and 9,444,375 shares of Comcast Class B common stock outstanding. For all matters to be voted on by Comcast Class A shareholders and Comcast Class B shareholders as a single class, Comcast Class B common stock has a nondilutable 33 ¹⁄₃% of the combined voting power of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class B common stock. The number of votes per share to which a Comcast Class A shareholder is entitled is determined based on a formula set forth in Comcast’s articles, which gives effect to the nondilutable voting power of the Comcast Class B common stock at any time. As of the record date, (i) each Comcast Class A shareholder is entitled to [—] votes for each share of Comcast Class A common stock owned by such shareholder and (ii) each Comcast Class B shareholder is entitled to 15 votes per share for each share of Comcast Class B common stock owned by such shareholder.

Quorum. The presence at the Comcast special meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of votes entitled to be cast for each proposal at the record date (the close of business on [—], 2014) will constitute a quorum for such proposal. Abstentions will be deemed present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares of Comcast common stock held in “street name” with respect to which the beneficial owner fails to give voting instructions to the broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record will not be deemed present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. There must be a quorum for the proposal to approve the stock issuance to be voted on at the Comcast special meeting. Failure of a quorum will necessitate an adjournment or postponement of the Comcast special meeting and will subject Comcast to additional expense. If the Comcast special meeting is adjourned for one or more periods aggregating at least 15 days due to the absence of a quorum, Comcast shareholders who are entitled to vote and who attend (including by proxy) the adjourned meeting, even though they do not constitute a quorum as described above, will constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting on the stock issuance.

Required Vote. To approve the stock issuance, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Comcast special meeting by Comcast Class A shareholders and Comcast Class B shareholders, voting together as a single class, is required. Comcast cannot complete the merger unless its shareholders approve the stock

issuance. An abstention is not considered a vote cast. Accordingly, assuming a quorum is present, a Comcast shareholder’s abstention from voting, the failure of a Comcast shareholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record or a Comcast shareholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to approve the stock issuance.

The separate Class B vote is also required to approve the stock issuance. Following entry into the merger agreement, pursuant to the voting agreement, holders of all the outstanding shares of Comcast Class B common stock delivered the written consent, which is sufficient to approve the stock issuance for purposes of the separate Class B vote.

To approve the adjournment of the Comcast special meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the stock issuance at the time of the Comcast special meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Comcast special meeting by Comcast Class A shareholders and Comcast Class B shareholders, voting together as a single class, is required. An abstention is not considered a vote cast. Accordingly, a Comcast shareholder’s abstention from voting, the failure of a Comcast shareholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank, nominee or other holder of record or a Comcast shareholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to adjourn the Comcast special meeting.

Stock Ownership of and Voting by Comcast Directors and Executive Officers. At the record date for the Comcast special meeting (the close of business on [—], 2014), Comcast’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned and had the right to vote [—] shares of Comcast Class A common stock at the Comcast special meeting, which represents approximately [—]% of the shares of Comcast Class A common stock entitled to vote at the Comcast special meeting, and beneficially owned and had the right to vote 9,444,375 shares of Comcast Class B common stock at the Comcast special meeting, which represents 100% of the shares of Comcast Class B common stock entitled to vote at the Comcast special meeting.

Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast, and certain of his family trusts and investment vehicles, have entered into the voting agreement described below, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote all of their shares in favor of the stock issuance. It is expected that the other Comcast directors and executive officers will vote their shares “FOR” the stock issuance and “FOR” the adjournment of the Comcast special meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the stock issuance at the time of the Comcast special meeting, although none of these other Comcast directors and executive officers has entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

The Voting Agreement (See Page [—])

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, TWC entered into a voting agreement with Brian L. Roberts, BRCC Holdings LLC, Irrevocable Deed of Trust of Brian L. Roberts for Children and Other Issue dated June 10, 1998 and Irrevocable Deed of Trust of Ralph J. Roberts for Brian L. Roberts and Other Beneficiaries dated May 11, 1993.

Following entry into the merger agreement and pursuant to the voting agreement, these Comcast shareholders delivered the written consent, which is sufficient to approve the stock issuance for purposes of the separate Class B vote. The written consent will automatically be revoked upon a termination of the voting agreement.

In addition, the Comcast shareholders who are parties to the voting agreement have agreed to vote all of their shares of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class B common stock (i) in favor of the stock

issuance for purposes of the single class vote, (ii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn any meeting of Comcast shareholders to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes for the approval of the stock issuance and (iii) against any corporate action that would frustrate the purposes or impede the consummation of the merger. The voting agreement imposes certain restrictions on these Comcast shareholders’ right to transfer shares of Comcast Class B common stock, as described under “The Voting Agreement,” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The voting agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the merger, (ii) the date of termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the date of any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to any provision of the merger agreement that has not been consented to by Brian L. Roberts or holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Comcast Class B common stock and that would increase the 2.875 exchange ratio, change the form of merger consideration or amend provisions of the merger agreement relating to regulatory matters in a manner materially adverse to investors. If the voting agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the merger, the written consent will be revoked. The voting agreement provides that no provisions contained therein limit the discretion of Brian L. Roberts to take or not take any action in his fiduciary capacity as an officer or director of Comcast.

As of February 12, 2014, the Comcast shareholders who are parties to the voting agreement held in the aggregate 471,435.749 shares of Comcast Class A common stock (representing approximately 0.02% of the outstanding shares of Comcast Class A common stock) and 9,444,375 shares of Comcast Class B common stock (representing 100% of the outstanding shares of Comcast Class B common stock). As of the record date for the Comcast special meeting, the Comcast shareholders who are parties to the voting agreement held in the aggregate [—] shares of Comcast Class A common stock (representing [—]% of the outstanding shares of Comcast Class A common stock) and 9,444,375 shares of Comcast Class B common stock (representing 100% of the outstanding shares of Comcast Class B common stock), which together represent approximately [33.35]% of the combined voting power of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class B common stock. Based on [—] outstanding shares of Comcast Class A common stock and 9,444,375 outstanding shares of Comcast Class B common stock on the record date for the Comcast special meeting, and after taking into account the expected votes of the directors and executive officers of Comcast and the Comcast shareholders who are parties to the voting agreement, approval of the proposal for the stock issuance will require the affirmative vote of the holders of an additional [—] outstanding shares of Comcast Class A common stock at the Comcast special meeting (representing approximately [—]% of the outstanding shares of Comcast Class A common stock that are not owned by the directors and executive officers of Comcast or the Comcast shareholders who are parties to the voting agreement).

A copy of the voting agreement is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

What TWC Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger (See Page [—])

If the merger is completed, TWC stockholders will be entitled to receive, in exchange for each share of TWC common stock that they own immediately prior to the merger, 2.875 shares of Comcast Class A common stock, and cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares as described below.

Comcast will not issue any fractional shares in the merger. Instead, the total number of shares of Comcast Class A common stock that each TWC stockholder will receive in the merger will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and each TWC stockholder will receive cash, without interest, for any fractional share of Comcast Class A common stock that he or she would otherwise receive in the merger. The amount of cash for fractional shares will be calculated by multiplying the fraction of a share of Comcast Class A common stock that the TWC stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive in the merger by the Comcast closing price.

Example: If you own 100 shares of TWC common stock at the time the merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive 287 shares of Comcast Class A common stock. In addition, you will be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to 0.5 of a share of Comcast Class A common stock multiplied by the Comcast closing price.

The ratio of 2.875 shares of Comcast Class A common stock for each share of TWC common stock, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the exchange ratio, is fixed, which means that it will not change between now and the date of the merger, regardless of whether the market price of shares of either Comcast Class A common stock or TWC common stock changes. Therefore, the value of the merger consideration will depend on the market price of shares of Comcast Class A common stock at the time TWC stockholders receive shares of Comcast Class A common stock in the merger. Based on the closing price of a share of Comcast Class A common stock on NASDAQ on February 12, 2014, the last trading day before the public announcement of the merger agreement, the merger consideration represented approximately $158.82 in value for each share of TWC common stock. Based on the closing price of a share of Comcast Class A common stock on NASDAQ on [—], 2014, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the merger consideration represented approximately $[—] in value for each share of TWC common stock. The market price of shares of Comcast Class A common stock has fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the merger agreement and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to the date of the TWC special meeting and the date the merger is completed and thereafter. The market price of shares of Comcast Class A common stock when received by TWC stockholders upon completion of the merger could be greater than, less than or the same as the market price of shares of Comcast Class A common stock on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or at the time of the TWC special meeting.

For information with respect to the divestiture transactions, see “The Divestiture Transactions” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

No Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights (See Page [—])

Neither TWC stockholders nor Comcast shareholders have dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to the merger.

Treatment of TWC Equity Awards (See Page [—])

At completion of the merger, each option to purchase shares of TWC common stock (whether or not exercisable or vested) and each restricted stock unit that is settleable in shares of TWC common stock (whether or not vested) that is outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger and held by a then-current employee of TWC will be converted into an option or restricted stock unit, as applicable, with respect to Comcast Class A common stock, after giving effect to the exchange ratio. In the case of options, the aggregate option exercise price of each TWC option will be divided by the exchange ratio to determine the exercise price of each new award. Such converted options and restricted stock units will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to completion of the merger.

However, in the case of (i) any restricted stock units (which will include deferred stock units held by non-employee directors) held by current or former non-employee directors of TWC or former employees of TWC (in each case, whether or not vested); and (ii) any options (whether or not exercisable or vested) held by former employees of TWC, such options or restricted stock units will be cancelled, and TWC will pay the holder cash, less applicable withholding taxes, at or promptly following the merger. All options held by a former employee of TWC that have a per share exercise price (as adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio) equal to or exceeding the Comcast closing price will be immediately cancelled without any right to consideration.

For options, the cash amount will be computed by first determining the number of shares of Comcast Class A common stock to which such former employee would be entitled if his or her options were converted into options as described in the paragraph above, and multiplying such number by the excess of (i) the Comcast closing price over (ii) the adjusted exercise price per share of such option (also determined in accordance with the above paragraph).

For restricted stock units, the cash amount will be determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of TWC common stock subject to such unit immediately prior to completion of the merger by (y) 2.875, with any fractional shares rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares of Comcast Class A common stock, and then multiplying the product of (x) and (y) by the Comcast closing price.

Recommendations of the TWC Board of Directors (See Page [—])

After consideration and consultation with its advisors, the TWC board of directors unanimously determined that the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of TWC’s stockholders and unanimously approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The TWC board of directors unanimously recommends that TWC stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement. For the factors considered by the TWC board of directors in reaching this decision, see “TWC Proposal I: Adoption of the Merger Agreement and Comcast Proposal I: Approval of the Stock Issuance—TWC’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Merger by the TWC Board of Directors” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, the TWC board of directors unanimously recommends that TWC stockholders vote “FOR” the “golden parachute” compensation proposal. See “TWC Proposal II: Advisory Vote On Golden Parachute Compensation” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Recommendations of the Comcast Board of Directors (See Page [—])

After consideration and consultation with its advisors, the members of the Comcast board of directors present at the Comcast board meeting unanimously determined that the merger agreement, the merger, the stock issuance and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Comcast and unanimously approved and declared advisable the merger agreement, the merger, the stock issuance and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The Comcast board of directors unanimously recommends that Comcast shareholders vote “FOR” the stock issuance. For the factors considered by the Comcast board of directors in reaching this decision, see “TWC Proposal I: Adoption of the Merger Agreement and Comcast Proposal I: Approval of the Stock Issuance—Comcast’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Comcast Board of Directors” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Comcast board of directors unanimously recommends that Comcast shareholders vote “FOR” the adjournment of the Comcast special meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the stock issuance at the time of the Comcast special meeting. See “Comcast Proposal II: Adjournment of the Comcast Special Meeting” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Divestiture Transactions (See Page [—])

On April 25, 2014, Comcast entered into the transactions agreement with Charter. The transactions agreement contemplates three transactions: (1) a contribution, spin-off and merger transaction, (2) an asset exchange and (3) a sale of assets, all of which are subject to a number of conditions. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions, the divestiture transactions are expected to occur substantially contemporaneously with each other and will be consummated as promptly as practicable following the completion of the merger. The completion of the divestiture transactions will result in the combined company divesting a net total of 3.9 million subscribers. The transactions agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of both Comcast and Charter, and the TWC board of directors consented to the entry by Comcast into the transactions agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the TWC consent, which include certain understandings of Comcast and TWC with respect to the receipt of required regulatory approvals under the merger agreement. See “The Divestiture Transactions” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Neither Comcast shareholders nor TWC stockholders are entitled to vote on the divestiture transactions, and no vote with respect thereto is being solicited by Comcast or TWC. Accordingly, no action is required on the part of Comcast shareholders or TWC stockholders in connection with the divestiture transactions.

The merger is not conditioned upon completion of the divestiture transactions. The merger and the divestiture transactions are subject to separate conditions, and the merger may be completed whether or not the divestiture transactions are ultimately consummated. If the divestiture transactions are not completed, then following completion of the merger, Comcast is prepared to divest up to approximately three million subscribers of the combined company in an alternate disposition transaction. Neither Comcast shareholders nor TWC stockholders would be entitled to vote on any alternate disposition transaction, and no vote with respect thereto is being solicited by Comcast or TWC.

Opinion of Comcast’s Financial Advisor (See Page [—])

Opinion of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

On February 12, 2014, at the meeting of the Comcast board of directors at which the proposed merger was approved, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as J.P. Morgan, Comcast’s financial advisor in connection with the proposed merger, rendered to the Comcast board of directors an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated February 12, 2014, to the effect that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions, qualifications and any limitations set forth in its written opinion, the exchange ratio in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Comcast.

The full text of J.P. Morgan’s written opinion, dated February 12, 2014, is attached as Annex G to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. The full text of the opinion contains a discussion of, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and any limitations on the opinion and the review undertaken by J.P. Morgan in connection with rendering its opinion. Comcast shareholders are urged to read the opinion carefully and in its entirety. J.P. Morgan’s written opinion was addressed to the Comcast board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the proposed merger, was directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Comcast of the exchange ratio in the proposed merger and did not address any other aspect of the merger. J.P. Morgan expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the exchange ratio to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Comcast or as to the underlying decision by Comcast to engage in the proposed merger. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Comcast as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the proposed merger or any other matter.

For further information, see “TWC Proposal I: Adoption of the Merger Agreement and Comcast Proposal I: Approval of the Stock Issuance—Opinion of Comcast’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Ownership of Shares of Comcast Class A Common Stock After the Merger (See Page [—])

Based on the number of shares of TWC common stock and TWC options and restricted stock units outstanding as of [—], 2014, Comcast expects to issue approximately [—] shares of Comcast Class A common stock to TWC stockholders pursuant to the merger and reserve for issuance approximately [—] additional shares of Comcast Class A common stock in connection with the conversion, exercise or settlement of outstanding TWC options and restricted stock units and future equity compensation awards. The actual number of shares of Comcast Class A common stock to be issued and reserved for issuance pursuant to the merger will be determined at completion of the merger based on the exchange ratio and the number of shares of TWC common stock and TWC options and restricted stock units outstanding at that time. Based on the number of shares of TWC common stock outstanding as of [—], 2014, and the number of shares of Comcast Class A common stock outstanding as of [—], 2014, it is expected that, immediately after completion of the merger, former TWC stockholders will own approximately [—]% of the outstanding shares of Comcast common stock (including Comcast Class A common stock, Comcast Class A Special common stock and Comcast Class B common stock), representing [—]% of the outstanding shares of Comcast Class A common stock and [—]% of the combined voting power of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class B common stock.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of TWC in the Merger (See Page [—])

When considering the recommendation of the TWC board of directors that TWC stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and the recommendation of the Comcast board of directors that the Comcast shareholders approve the stock issuance, TWC stockholders and Comcast shareholders should be aware that directors and executive officers of TWC have certain interests in the merger that may be different from or in addition to the interests of TWC stockholders and Comcast shareholders generally. The TWC board of directors and the Comcast board of directors were aware of these interests and considered them, among other things, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and the merger and in recommending that TWC stockholders adopt the merger agreement and Comcast shareholders approve the stock issuance.

These interests include the following:

These interests are described in further detail under “Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of TWC in the Merger” and “The Merger Agreement—Indemnification and Insurance” beginning on pages [—] and [—], respectively, of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Listing of Shares of Comcast Class A Common Stock and Delisting and Deregistration of TWC Common Stock (See Page [—])

Comcast will apply for listing on NASDAQ, where shares of Comcast Class A common stock are currently traded, of the shares of Comcast Class A common stock to be issued in the merger. If the merger is completed,

the shares of Comcast Class A common stock to be issued in the merger will be listed on NASDAQ, and TWC shares will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

Completion of the Merger Is Subject to Certain Conditions (See Page [—])

As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the merger agreement, the obligation of each of Comcast and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and TWC, on the other hand, to complete the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including the following:

Comcast and TWC cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed.

The merger is not conditioned upon completion of the divestiture transactions. The merger and the divestiture transactions are subject to separate conditions, and the merger may be completed whether or not the divestiture transactions are ultimately consummated. See “The Divestiture Transactions” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Merger May Not Be Completed Without All Required Regulatory Approvals (See Page [—])

Completion of the merger is conditioned upon the receipt of certain governmental clearances or approvals, including, but not limited to, the expiration or termination of the waiting period relating to the merger under the HSR Act, approval of the FCC and certain other governmental consents and approvals from state regulators and franchise authorities.

Under the HSR Act, certain transactions, including the merger, may not be completed unless certain waiting period requirements have expired or been terminated. The HSR Act provides that each party must file a pre-merger notification with the Federal Trade Commission, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the FTC, and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the DOJ. A transaction notifiable under the HSR Act may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-calendar-day waiting period following the parties’ filings of their respective HSR Act notification forms or the termination of that waiting period. If the DOJ issues a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material prior to the expiration of the initial waiting period, the parties must observe a second 30-calendar-day waiting period, which would begin to run only after both parties have substantially complied with the request for additional information, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier.

Both Comcast and TWC are subject to regulation by the FCC under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the Communications Act. Each company holds a number of licenses and authorizations issued by the FCC for the operation of its business. The FCC must approve the transfer of control or assignment of TWC’s licenses and authorizations to Comcast as a result of the merger. The merger is also subject to the approval of LFAs with respect to the transfer of control of franchises as a result of the merger. In addition, Comcast and TWC are required to obtain approval of certain state public utility commissions with respect to the transfer of control of certificates of public convenience and necessity for telecommunications services as a result of the merger.

Comcast and TWC have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to complete the merger. In furtherance of the foregoing, Comcast and TWC agreed in the merger agreement to make and not withdraw (i) as promptly as practicable (and not later than 30 business days

following the date of the merger agreement), an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act and all necessary filings to obtain consents from the FCC that are required in connection with the merger, and (ii) as promptly as practicable (and not later than 60 business days following the date of the merger agreement), all necessary filings to obtain consents from state regulators and franchise authorities (including submitting FCC Forms 394 to relevant franchise authorities), and all other registrations, declarations, notices and filings with governmental authorities that are required in connection with the merger. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the parties have made all requisite filings for regulatory approval of the merger. However, the parties expect to make certain supplemental filings with respect to the divestiture transactions. The parties believe that the divestiture transactions will facilitate regulatory approval of the merger, and have generally requested or will generally request that regulators and franchise authorities review the merger and the divestiture transactions on the same timeline. Each of Comcast and TWC has received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material from the DOJ, which extends the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after both parties have substantially complied with the request for additional information, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier. The process for obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals is ongoing.

Comcast’s obligation to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to complete the merger does not require Comcast to (and, without Comcast’s prior written consent, TWC is not permitted to):

Notwithstanding the first two bullets above, (i) Comcast is prepared to divest up to approximately three million subscribers of the combined company and (ii) Comcast and its subsidiaries are required under the merger agreement to (A) take the actions and accept the conditions described in the second bullet above to the extent such actions and conditions are consistent in scope and magnitude with the actions and conditions (other than any condition that was subsequently suspended by the agency that imposed the condition) required or imposed by governmental authorities in connection with prior acquisitions of United States domestic cable systems consummated within the past twelve years with an aggregate purchase price of at least $500 million and (B) implement certain undertakings agreed to by TWC and Comcast described in “TWC Proposal I: Adoption of the Merger Agreement and Comcast Proposal I: Approval of the Stock Issuance—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger—Efforts to Obtain Regulatory Approvals” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, with such modifications to the undertakings that, taken in the aggregate, are no more adverse to the businesses, assets and properties of Comcast and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the businesses, assets and properties of TWC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Comcast and TWC estimate that there have been approximately 25 acquisitions of United States domestic cable systems consummated within the past twelve years, each with an aggregate purchase price of at least $500 million. Further, notwithstanding the third bullet above, Comcast has agreed to participate in the litigation of proceedings involving the FCC or the DOJ to the extent Comcast determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that there is a reasonable prospect of success in relation to such litigation and that the participation by Comcast in such litigation would not pose a material risk of the imposition of a burdensome condition. These requirements are described in more detail under “The Merger Agreement—Reasonable Best Efforts Covenant” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth on the confidential disclosure schedules, Comcast and TWC have agreed not to, and to cause their respective subsidiaries and affiliates not to, (i) take any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any

regulatory approvals required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement or the completion of the merger, or (ii) acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), directly or indirectly, any assets, securities (other than securities issued by such party as permitted by the terms of the merger agreement), properties, interests or business in any transaction or series of related transactions if such acquisition would (A) require approval of the FCC or (B) (without the consent of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case of TWC’s consent) have a value, or involve the payment of consideration, in excess of $1 billion.

On April 25, 2014, Comcast entered into the transactions agreement with Charter, which contemplates three transactions: (1) a contribution, spin-off and merger transaction, (2) an asset exchange and (3) a sale of assets, all of which are subject to a number of conditions. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions, the divestiture transactions are expected to occur substantially contemporaneously with each other and will be consummated as promptly as practicable following the completion of the merger. The completion of the divestiture transactions will result in the combined company divesting a net total of approximately 3.9 million subscribers. See “The Divestiture Transactions” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Merger Is Expected to be Completed by the End of 2014 (See Page [—])

The merger will occur no later than two business days after the conditions to its completion have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the merger is expected to be completed by the end of 2014. However, there can be no assurance as to when, or if, the merger will occur.

Subject to certain conditions described below, if the merger is not completed on or before February 12, 2015, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the initial end date, or, at the election of either Comcast or TWC if certain conditions related to the receipt of regulatory approvals have not been satisfied, by August 12, 2015, either Comcast or TWC may terminate the merger agreement.

No Solicitation by TWC (See Page [—])

As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the merger agreement, and subject to the exceptions described below, TWC has agreed that neither TWC nor any of its subsidiaries will, nor will TWC or any of its subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their officers, directors, employees or representatives to (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission of an acquisition proposal (as defined under “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation by TWC,” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus), (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any such proposal, (iii) furnish any non-public information relating to TWC or its subsidiaries to any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, an acquisition proposal, (iv) except as described below, fail to make, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Comcast the recommendation of the TWC board of directors in favor of adoption of the merger agreement or recommend an acquisition proposal (any action described in this clause (iv) is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as an adverse recommendation change), (v) fail to enforce or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement, (vi) approve any transaction under, or any person becoming an “interested stockholder” under, the Delaware anti-takeover statute, or (vii) enter into an agreement or other instrument relating to an acquisition proposal. However, so long as TWC and its representatives have otherwise complied with the foregoing requirements, TWC and its representatives may, at any time prior to adoption of the merger agreement by TWC stockholders, participate in discussions with any third party who has made an unsolicited acquisition proposal after the date of the merger agreement solely to request the clarification of the terms and conditions of the proposal so as to determine whether such proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a superior proposal (as defined under “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation by TWC,” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the adoption of the merger agreement by TWC stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions described in the merger agreement, TWC is permitted to:

TWC is only permitted to take the actions described above if the TWC board of directors determines in good faith, after considering advice from outside legal counsel, that the failure to take that action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. In addition, before taking any of the actions described above, TWC has to notify Comcast that it intends to take that action and continue to advise Comcast on a current basis of the status and terms of any discussions and negotiations with any third party in connection with an acquisition proposal. Further, the TWC board of directors is not permitted to make an adverse recommendation change in response to an acquisition proposal unless, (i) such acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal, (ii) TWC promptly notifies Comcast, in writing at least five business days before taking that action, of its intention to do so, and attaches the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such superior proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the third party making the superior proposal, and (iii) Comcast does not make, within such five business day period, an offer that is at least as favorable to the stockholders of TWC as such superior proposal.

In addition, the TWC board of directors is not permitted to make an adverse recommendation change in response to an intervening event unless (i) TWC has provided Comcast with written information describing the intervening event in reasonable detail promptly after becoming aware of it and keeps Comcast fully informed, on a reasonably current basis, of material developments with respect to such intervening event, (ii) TWC has provided Comcast at least five business days prior notice of its intention to make an adverse recommendation change with respect to such intervening event, attaching a reasonably detailed explanation of the facts underlying the determination by the TWC board of directors that an intervening event has occurred and its need to make an adverse recommendation change in light of the intervening event and (iii) Comcast does not make, within such five-business-day period, an offer that the TWC board of directors determines would obviate the need for an adverse recommendation change in light of the intervening event.

During any five-business-day period prior to effecting an adverse recommendation change in response to an acquisition proposal or an intervening event, TWC and its representatives must negotiate in good faith with Comcast and its representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement proposed by Comcast.

If the TWC board of directors withdraws, modifies or qualifies its recommendation in favor of adoption of the merger agreement, the merger agreement must nonetheless be submitted to TWC’s stockholders for adoption, unless the merger agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms. See “The Merger Agreement— Obligation of the TWC Board of Directors to Recommend the Merger Agreement and Call and Hold a Stockholders’ Meeting” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (See Page [—])

As more fully described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the merger agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions described in the merger agreement, the merger agreement may be terminated at any time before completion of the merger in any of the following ways:

Specific Performance; Remedies (See Page [—])

Under the merger agreement, each of Comcast and TWC is entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the merger agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the merger agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which that party may be entitled at law or in equity.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (See Page [—])

Comcast and TWC have structured the merger as a “tax-free” reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, TWC stockholders will generally not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of their shares of TWC common stock for Comcast common stock in the merger, except for any gain or loss recognized in connection with any cash received in lieu of fractional Comcast shares. The companies themselves will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the merger. It is a condition to the obligations of TWC and Comcast to complete the merger that each receive a legal opinion from its respective outside counsel that the merger will be a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that Comcast, Merger Sub and TWC will each be a party to that reorganization.

Accounting Treatment (See Page [—])

The merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Comcast considered the acquirer of TWC. Comcast will record assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed from TWC at their respective fair values at the date of completion of the merger. Any excess of the purchase price (as described under Note 2 of the “Comcast Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements—Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information Giving Effect to the TWC Merger” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus) over the net fair value of such assets and liabilities will be recorded as goodwill.

Rights of TWC Stockholders Will Change as a Result of the Merger (See Page [—])

TWC stockholders will have different rights once they become Comcast shareholders due to differences between the organizational documents of Comcast and TWC and differences between Pennsylvania law, where

Comcast is incorporated, and Delaware law, where TWC is incorporated. These differences are described in more detail under “Comparison of Stockholder Rights” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Litigation Relating to the Merger (See Page [—])

Following the announcement of the merger, eight putative class action complaints challenging the merger have been filed on behalf of purported TWC stockholders in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Five of the actions have been consolidated in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, and three of the actions are pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaints generally allege, among other things, that the members of the TWC board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to TWC stockholders during merger negotiations and by entering into the merger agreement and approving the merger, and that TWC, Comcast and Merger Sub aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaints further allege that the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by Comcast with the SEC on March 20, 2014, which contained the preliminary proxy statement of TWC, was misleading or omitted certain material information.

The defendants believe that the claims asserted against them in the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend the litigation vigorously. The litigation is described in more detail under “TWC Proposal I: Adoption of the Merger Agreement and Comcast Proposal I: Approval of the Stock Issuance—Litigation Relating to the Merger” beginning on page [—] of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The selected financial data of TWC as of March 31, 2013 are derived from TWC’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for such period, which have not been incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited financial data presented have been prepared on a basis consistent with TWC’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of TWC’s management, such unaudited financial data reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for those periods.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

The following table sets forth selected historical and unaudited pro forma combined per share information for Comcast and TWC.

Historical Per Share Information of Comcast and TWC

The historical per share information of each of Comcast and TWC below is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of each of Comcast and TWC as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2013 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of each of Comcast and TWC as of, and for the three months ended, March 31, 2014.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined per Comcast Common Share Data

The unaudited pro forma combined per Comcast common share data set forth below gives effect to the TWC merger under the acquisition method of accounting, as if the TWC merger had occurred on January 1, 2013, the first day of Comcast’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, in the case of net income, and at March 31, 2014, in the case of book value per share data, and assuming that each outstanding share of TWC common stock had been converted into Comcast common shares based on the exchange ratio.

The unaudited pro forma combined per Comcast common share data is derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of each of Comcast and TWC as of, and for the three months ended, March 31, 2014 and the audited consolidated financial statements for each of Comcast and TWC for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The acquisition method of accounting is based on Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which Comcast has adopted as required. Acquisition accounting requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair value measurements recorded in acquisition accounting are dependent upon detailed valuation studies of TWC’s assets and liabilities and other studies that have yet to commence. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments reflect the assets and liabilities of TWC at their preliminary estimated fair values. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final values in acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined per share information set forth in the following table.

The unaudited pro forma combined per Comcast common share data does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Comcast would have achieved had the companies been combined during these periods or to project the future results of operations that Comcast may achieve after the TWC merger.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined per TWC Equivalent Share Data

The unaudited pro forma combined per TWC equivalent share data set forth below shows the effect of the TWC merger from the perspective of an owner of TWC common stock. The information was calculated by multiplying the unaudited pro forma combined per Comcast common share amounts by the exchange ratio.

Generally

You should read the below information in conjunction with the selected historical consolidated financial information included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the historical consolidated financial

The following table sets forth, for the calendar periods indicated, the high and low intra-day sales prices per share of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class A Special common stock and per share of TWC common stock. Comcast Class A common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol CMCSA, and Comcast Class A Special common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol CMCSK. There is no established public trading market for Comcast Class B common stock. The Comcast Class B common stock can be converted, on a share-for-share basis, into Comcast Class A common stock or Comcast Class A Special common stock. TWC’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TWC.

The following table sets forth the closing price per share of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class A Special common stock and of TWC common stock as of February 12, 2014, the last trading day before the public announcement of the merger agreement, and as of [—], 2014, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The table also shows the implied value of the merger consideration proposed for each share of TWC common stock as of the same two dates. This implied value was calculated by multiplying the closing price of a share of Comcast Class A common stock on the relevant date by the exchange ratio of 2.875.

The market prices of shares of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class A Special common stock and TWC common stock have fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the merger agreement and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to the date of the TWC special meeting and the date the merger is completed, and the market prices of shares of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class A Special common stock will continue to fluctuate after the date the merger is completed. No assurance can be given concerning the market prices of Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class A Special common stock and TWC common stock before completion of the merger or Comcast Class A common stock or Comcast Class A Special common stock after completion of the merger. The exchange ratio is fixed in

the merger agreement, but the market price of Comcast Class A common stock (and therefore the value of the merger consideration) when received by TWC stockholders after the merger is completed could be greater than, less than or the same as shown in the table above. Accordingly, TWC stockholders are advised to obtain current market quotations for Comcast Class A common stock and TWC common stock in deciding whether to vote for adoption of the merger agreement.

Dividends

Comcast currently pays a quarterly dividend on Comcast common shares and last paid a quarterly dividend on April 23, 2014, of $0.225 per share. In addition, on May 21, 2014, Comcast declared a quarterly dividend of $0.225 per share, which will be paid on July 23, 2014 to Comcast shareholders of record at the close of business on July 2, 2014. Under the terms of the merger agreement, during the period before completion of the merger, Comcast is not permitted to declare, set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution other than its regular cash dividend in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in an amount not to exceed $0.225 per share per quarter in 2014, as such amount may be increased for 2015 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

TWC currently pays a quarterly dividend on TWC common stock, and last paid a quarterly dividend on March 17, 2014, of $0.75 per share. In addition, on May 15, 2014, TWC declared a quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share, which will be paid on June 16, 2014 to TWC stockholders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2014. Under the terms of the merger agreement, during the period before completion of the merger, TWC is not permitted to declare, set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution other than its regular cash dividend in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in an amount not to exceed $0.75 per share per quarter in 2014, as such amount may be increased for 2015 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

In addition, the merger agreement provides that Comcast and TWC will coordinate the declaration of dividends in order that holders of shares of Comcast Class A common stock and TWC common stock do not receive two dividends or fail to receive one dividend for any quarter in respect of shares of TWC common stock, on the one hand, and shares of Comcast Class A common stock issuable in respect of such shares of TWC common stock, on the other hand.

Any former TWC stockholder who holds the Comcast Class A common stock into which TWC common stock has been converted in connection with the merger will receive whatever dividends are declared and paid on Comcast Class A common stock after completion of the merger. However, no dividend or other distribution having a record date after completion of the merger will actually be paid with respect to any Comcast Class A common stock into which TWC common stock has been converted in connection with the merger until the certificates formerly representing shares of TWC common stock have been surrendered (or the book-entry shares formerly representing shares of TWC common stock have been transferred), at which time any accrued dividends and other distributions on those shares of Comcast Class A common stock will be paid without interest. Subject to the limitations set forth in the merger agreement, any future dividends by Comcast will be made at the discretion of the Comcast board of directors. Subject to the limitations set forth in the merger agreement, any future dividends by TWC will be made at the discretion of the TWC board of directors. There can be no assurance that any future dividends will be declared or paid by Comcast or TWC or as to the amount or timing of those dividends, if any.

COMCAST UNAUDITED

PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “unaudited pro forma financial information”) gives effect to the proposed merger in which TWC will become a 100% owned subsidiary of Comcast (the “TWC merger”). Unaudited pro forma financial information is also provided to give further effect to a series of proposed transactions with Charter in which, following the closing of the TWC merger, Comcast has agreed, subject to various conditions, to divest cable systems resulting in a net disposition of approximately 3.9 million subscribers from the combined company (the “Charter divestiture transactions”). The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets are presented as if the TWC merger and the Charter divestiture transactions had occurred on March 31, 2014. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 are presented as if the TWC merger and the Charter divestiture transactions had occurred on January 1, 2013, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Comcast, TWC and the acquired Charter cable systems, and the assumptions and adjustments set forth in the accompanying explanatory notes. The Charter divestiture transactions are presented from the historical perspective of Comcast, TWC and Charter and are not intended to be indicative of how these businesses would operate as stand-alone entities.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the TWC merger has been developed from and should be read in conjunction with the Comcast and TWC unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Comcast and TWC Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, and the Comcast audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Comcast 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the TWC audited consolidated financial statements contained in the TWC Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 24, 2014, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the Charter divestiture transactions is derived from the historical accounting records of Comcast, TWC and Charter. For purposes of developing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014, TWC’s and Charter’s acquired assets, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values with the excess purchase price assigned to goodwill. The fair values assigned in this unaudited pro forma financial information are preliminary and represent Comcast’s current best estimate of fair value and are subject to revision. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is based on available information and assumptions that Comcast believes are reasonable. It does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of Comcast would have been had the TWC merger or the Charter divestiture transactions occurred on the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. The actual financial position and results of operations will differ, perhaps significantly, from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors, including access to additional information, changes in value not currently identified and changes in operating results following the date of the pro forma financial information.

Comcast intends to review the synergies of the combined business subsequent to the completion of the Charter divestiture transactions, which may result in a plan to realign or reorganize certain of TWC’s and the acquired Charter cable systems’ existing operations. The costs of implementing such a plan, if it were to occur, and any resulting future cost savings have not been reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information.

Upon closing of the TWC merger, TWC stockholders will receive 2.875 shares of Comcast Class A common stock in exchange for each share of TWC common stock (the “exchange ratio”). For purposes of this unaudited pro forma financial information, giving effect to the exchange ratio described above, the estimated

aggregate consideration to complete the TWC merger would have been $41.4 billion based upon a per share price of $50.90, the closing share price of Comcast Class A common stock on May 19, 2014, and 278.8 million shares of TWC common stock outstanding as of May 19, 2014. The purchase price also includes vested Comcast equity awards with an estimated fair value of $431 million that will be issued in respect of vested equity awards held by employees of TWC and $179 million that will be paid in cash to TWC non-employees who held equity awards, whether vested or not vested. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that the consideration transferred be measured at the date the TWC merger is completed at the then-current market price. This requirement will likely result in a total consideration that is different from the amount presented in this unaudited pro forma financial information. Based on the 278.8 million shares of TWC common stock outstanding as of May 19, 2014 and the exchange ratio, each dollar increase (decrease) in the per share price of the Comcast Class A common stock will result in an $802 million increase (decrease) in the total consideration for the TWC merger, substantially all of which Comcast expects would be recorded as an increase (decrease) in the amount of goodwill recorded in the TWC merger. The number of outstanding shares of TWC common stock will change prior to the closing of the TWC merger due to transactions in the normal course, including the vesting and/or exercise of outstanding TWC equity awards. This change is not expected to have a material effect on this unaudited pro forma financial information.

The Charter divestiture transactions consist of the following three transactions: (1) a spin-off of cable systems serving approximately 2.5 million Comcast subscribers (the “spin-off transaction”) into a newly formed public entity (“SpinCo”), (2) an exchange of cable systems serving approximately 1.5 million TWC subscribers for cable systems serving approximately 1.7 million Charter subscribers (the “exchange transaction”) and (3) a sale to Charter of cable systems serving approximately 1.5 million TWC subscribers for cash (the “sale transaction”).

The Charter divestiture transactions are designed to satisfy Comcast’s undertaking in the TWC merger agreement to divest cable systems serving up to approximately 3 million subscribers in connection with its request for regulatory approvals for the TWC merger. Unaudited pro forma financial information giving effect to any divestiture transactions other than those agreed upon with Charter is not presented because of the speculative nature of the need for and form of such alternate divestiture transactions, which could be in the form of a spin-off, sale or other transaction, or a combination thereof.

In connection with the spin-off transaction, Comcast will form SpinCo, which will hold and operate cable systems currently serving approximately 2.5 million Comcast subscribers. SpinCo will incur new indebtedness to fund a distribution to Comcast, which may be in the form of a cash distribution, with the remainder in new SpinCo notes. The SpinCo notes are expected to then be exchanged for outstanding notes in a debt-for-debt exchange following the TWC merger (collectively, the “SpinCo financing transactions”). Comcast, Charter and SpinCo will use reasonable best efforts to cause SpinCo to incur the new indebtedness in an amount equal to 5.0 times the 2014 EBITDA of the SpinCo cable systems (as such term is defined by SpinCo’s financing sources for purposes of the financing) to fund the distribution to Comcast and to complete the debt-for-debt exchange. Comcast will then distribute, through the spin-off transaction, the common shares of SpinCo pro rata to the holders of all of Comcast’s outstanding common stock, inclusive of former TWC stockholders. Following the spin-off transaction, a newly formed, wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Charter will merge with and into Charter with the effect that all shares of Charter will be converted into shares of a new holding company, which will survive as the publicly traded parent company of Charter (“New Charter”). After the above internal reorganization of Charter, SpinCo will merge with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of New Charter, with SpinCo as the surviving public entity, resulting in Comcast shareholders, inclusive of former TWC stockholders, owning an estimated 67% of the outstanding shares of SpinCo common stock and New Charter owning the estimated remaining 33% (the “SpinCo merger”). Comcast will have no remaining interest in SpinCo. Comcast shareholders, including former TWC stockholders, will receive in exchange for the SpinCo common stock acquired by New Charter, shares of New Charter common stock.

Under the terms of the Charter divestiture transactions agreement, the value for the exchange and sale transactions will be based on 7.125 times of the divested systems’ Carveout 2014 EBITDA (as defined in the Charter divestiture transactions agreement). For purposes of this unaudited pro forma financial information, the value of the exchange and sale transactions are estimated to be $8.1 billion and $7.8 billion, respectively. The Carveout 2014 EBITDA was estimated using the 2013 results of the cable systems included in this unaudited pro forma financial information, adjusted for overhead allocations (as defined in the Charter divestiture transactions agreement), and applying a 2014 growth rate to the 2013 amounts. The growth rates used are based on Wall Street research consensus estimates for 2014 EBITDA for each company (Comcast cable systems 5.10%, TWC cable systems 4.50% and Charter cable systems 7.70%). In addition, the SpinCo indebtedness is estimated to be $8.8 billion using a similar methodology, consisting of $8.2 billion of SpinCo notes and $600 million of other bank debt (to be used for general corporate purposes at SpinCo). For purposes of this unaudited pro forma financial information, the SpinCo distribution to Comcast has been assumed to be entirely in the form of the SpinCo notes, resulting in a reduction in total debt outstanding of $7.4 billion as a result of the expected debt-for-debt exchange, assuming a hypothetical $800 million premium to par value on the debt-for-debt exchange. The amounts of the reduction in debt and any SpinCo distributions will be dependent upon the ultimate completion of the SpinCo financing transactions and are subject to change.

The closing of the Charter divestiture transactions is contingent upon, among other things, the closing of the TWC merger, approval by Charter stockholders, completion of the SpinCo financing transactions, regulatory approvals and other conditions. In addition, the Charter divestiture transactions may be terminated (1) upon termination of the TWC merger, (2) by either Comcast or Charter on a material breach of the other party, subject to cure provisions, (3) upon any final and non-appealable injunction or legal impediment, (4) if following receipt of the financial information for the cable systems in the exchange and sale transactions, Charter is unable to obtain committed financing for the sale transaction, (5) in the event Charter’s shareholder approval is not obtained, (6) solely by Comcast if Charter’s board makes an adverse change to its recommendation, and (7) if the divestiture transactions have not been consummated within certain time frames from the completion of the TWC merger.

Neither Comcast shareholders nor TWC stockholders are entitled to vote on the Charter divestiture transactions or on the alternate divestiture transactions, if any, and no vote with respect thereto is being solicited by Comcast or TWC.

For purposes of presentation, the unaudited pro forma financial information has been separated into two sets of unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The first gives effect to the TWC merger excluding the Charter divestiture transactions and the second gives effect to the TWC merger including the Charter divestiture transactions.
