Charter Communications added seven new risk factors in its 2025 10-K, all relating to a pending business combination with Liberty Broadband, covering completion conditions, operational restrictions, management distraction, transaction costs, share repurchase risks, and realization of anticipated benefits. The company retained all 14 previously disclosed risks without removal, while substantively modifying three existing risks regarding programming cost pass-through to customers, debt obligations, and regulatory framework changes. This expansion reflects the material risks introduced by the announced combination transaction rather than changes to Charter's core operational risk profile.
