On January 14, 2014, Time Warner Cable Inc. issued the following statement:
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In response to Charter’s investor conference call this afternoon, Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) issued the following statement:
“There was nothing in Charter’s presentation and call today that changes the fact that its proposal is grossly inadequate. We have engaged with Charter, but Charter is not prepared to pay for a one-of-a-kind asset that Tom Rutledge referred to today as the biggest and best M&A option available. We are confident in our standalone plan and we are not going to let Charter steal the company.”
