Charter Communications to Merge with Liberty Broadband in Strategic All-Stock Deal
Charter Communications has agreed to acquire Liberty Broadband, part of John Malone's business empire, in an all-stock transaction. The deal, approved by both companies' boards, involves Charter repurchasing shares from Liberty Broadband to facilitate debt repayment. The acquisition is expected to close by June 30, 2027, and will result in GCI, an Alaska broadband provider, becoming an independent public company. This transaction aims to simplify corporate structures and provide Liberty shareholders with direct ownership in Charter.
