Charters is buying $55B worth of Time Warner Cable.

CHTR (Charter Communications) said Tuesday that it will buy Time Warner Cable (TWC) for $55. Time Warner Cable's debts, which will be taken over by Charter, included, the transaction is estimated at about 79 billion dollars. Under the control of millionaire legendary John Malone, Charter is taking the boldiest step yet to track a much bigger business in terms of sales and value, just a few short miles after Comcast (CMCSA) fails in its offer to buy Time Warner Cable.

arter also tried to buy Time Warner Cable at a lower rate last year just to beaten by Comcast. Charters pays $195. $71 per diluted ordinary share denominated in common denominator - $100 thereof in US dollars and the remainder in charter equities. Quotation calculated on 60 trading days basis from the weighted mean charter rate.

Charters will also offer Time Warner Cable stockholders an opportunity to obtain $115 in bar and stock of the new entity. Charter increased its pre-market share by around 4%. The Time Warner Cable's increased by 8%. Charter with seat in Stamford, Conn. further affirmed that it continues with an earlier suggestion to buy Bright House Networks, a smaller wire corporation, for $10.4 billion.

The integration of the three would make Charter the second biggest TV and ISP in the US, with around 24 million customers in 41 countries and only behind Comcast's 27. "Our increased coverage will enable us to speed up the delivery of higher speed web browsing, advanced visual experience and full-featured speech products," Charter CEO Tom Rutledge said in a declaration.

In order to finance the transaction, Liberty Broadband, Malone's corporation, which holds approximately 25% of the charter, is planning to buy $4.3 billion of reissued charter stock after the transaction was closed at approximately $176.95 per stock. And Malone longed for a bargain. Time Warner Cable is a firm with significant credentials and service in major US economies such as New York, Los Angeles and Dallas.

Expanding its reach at national level would in theory enable the Charter to call for better prices for contents from wired and wireless services and require certain types of electronic broadcasting right for broadcasting streams and on-demand music. Payment TV operators hope to maintain their performance in an ever-flowing environment with persuasive entertainment, as well as offering TV and sport wherever they can stop consumers from making cables.

Fast changes caused by evolving streaming technologies also led Comcast to bid $45.2 billion last year to purchase Time Warner Cable. However, last month, Comcast ended its prosecution after regulators voiced antitrust law interests and made movements that foresaw their likely refusal. Meanwhile, AT&T has signed an arrangement to purchase DirecTV for $48. 5 billion, a transaction that analysts are expecting to be licensed.

Altice, the Luxembourg telecommunications firm under the control of millionaire Patrick Drahi, said last week that it is joining the US marked by purchasing Suddenlink Communications for about $9.1 billion. Charters submitted a string of bidding escalations to buy Time Warner cable between 2013 and 2014. Meanwhile, the executive of Time Warner cable declined the sweet offering of charter of about 61 billion dollars in liquid assets, shares and debts in January 2014.

However, the Management Committee described the bid as a "third, totally insufficient proposal" which caused Comcast to launch its bid on the bidder and trumpet charter. When asked whether he would consider a new attempt to buy Time Warner Cable at an investors' meeting in November if the Comcast deals were refused, Malone replied: "Hell, yes.

" Charters may also have been motivational to close its aggressively business from a potential rival. Altice's Drahi was in the US to complete the sudden link transaction and held a meeting with Rob Marcus, Cable President of Times Warner for a possible fusion, Bloomberg News said last weekend. Mike McCormack, Jefferies researcher, said in an investors' memo on Monday that Charter could sell its proposed acquisition more easily than Comcast because the merged entity would have a smaller stake.

The fact that the Charter does not have its own contents provider can also work in its favour, he said. NBC Universal and NBC regulator are concerned that the nation's biggest telecom operator may favour the contents of its affiliate over NBC's rivals. "There are no problems with vertically integrated mergers and the merged entity is even smaller than (Comcast).

"FCC chairman Tom Wheeler said in a Tuesday declaration, "The Federal Communications Commission is reviewing each fusion for merit and determining whether it would be in the interest of the people.

It will examine how US customers would reap the benefits if the operation were cleared. "The Bright House operation is conditional upon the closing of the Time Warner Cable takeover. Mr Randledge remains Chief Executive Officer of the merged entity and is proposed the post of Chair.

The Charter also said that the present owners of Bright House, Advance/Newhouse, will keep a share of approximately 13% of Bright House.
