Cox Communications Announces Early Tender Results for Any and All Cash Tender Offers

The aggregate principal amount of each series of notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Any and All Offers (each series, a "Series of Any and All Notes," and such notes, collectively, the "Any and All Notes") at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 4, 2017 (the "Any and All Early Tender Deadline"), as reported by the Tender Agent and Information Agent, is set forth in the column entitled "Aggregate Principal Amount Tendered" in the table below. Cox currently expects the early settlement date for the Any and All Notes to occur on August 8, 2017 (the "Any and All Early Settlement Date").

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Any and All Offers, holders or beneficial owners ("Holders") of Any and All Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Any and All Notes at or prior to the Any and All Early Tender Deadline are eligible to receive consideration, per $1,000 principal amount, equal to the applicable Any and All Total Consideration (as defined below) for such Series of Any and All Notes. The applicable consideration for each series of Any and All Notes (such consideration, the "Any and All Total Consideration") will be determined in the manner described in the Any and All Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Series of Any and All Notes set forth in the column entitled "Fixed Spread" in the table above, over the applicable yield based on the bid side price of the U.S. Treasury Security set forth for such Series of Any and All Notes in the column entitled "Reference Security" in the table above, as calculated by the Dealer Managers (as defined below) at 11:00 a.m., New York City Time, on August 7, 2017. The Any and All Total Consideration includes the applicable early tender premium (the "Any and All Early Tender Premium") for such Series of Any and All Notes set forth in the column entitled "Any and All Early Tender Premium" in the table above. Holders must have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Any and All Notes at or prior to the Any and All Early Tender Deadline in order to be eligible to receive the Any and All Total Consideration for such Any and All Notes purchased pursuant to the Any and All Offers. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Any and All Offers, Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Any and All Notes after the Any and All Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Any and All Expiration Date (as defined below) will be entitled to receive consideration, per $1,000 principal amount, equal to the applicable Any and All Total Consideration less the applicable Any and All Early Tender Premium for such Series of Any and All Notes. In each case, such Holders will also be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from the last interest payment date for the applicable Series of Any and All Notes up to, but not including, the Any and All Early Settlement Date or the Any and All Final Settlement Date (as defined below), as applicable, if and when the applicable Any and All Notes are accepted for payment. The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, on August 4, 2017 has passed and the Any and All Notes tendered pursuant to the Any and All Offers may no longer validly be withdrawn, subject to applicable law.

The Any and All Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended with respect to one or more Series of Any and All Notes, the "Any and All Expiration Date"). Cox will purchase any remaining Any and All Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Any and All Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Any and All Expiration Date, subject to all conditions to the Any and All Offers having been satisfied or waived by Cox, on the Any and All Final Settlement Date. The Any and All Final Settlement Date is expected to occur promptly following the Any and All Expiration Date and is expected to be on August 21, 2017 (the "Any and All Final Settlement Date"), unless extended by Cox. No tenders of Any and All Notes submitted after the Any and All Expiration Date will be valid.

Cox intends, but is not obligated, to redeem any and all Any and All Notes that remain outstanding after completion of the Any and All Offers pursuant to the "make-whole" redemption provisions of the applicable indenture relating to such Any and All Notes.

Cox's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Any and All Offers is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver by Cox of a number of conditions. Cox may amend, extend or, subject to certain conditions and applicable law, terminate any or all of the Any and All Offers at any time in its sole discretion.
