Explanation of Responses:

(1) Each share of Class B common stock, which is a registered security of the Issuer, is convertible on a share-for-share basis at any time upon written notice to the Issuer at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock pursuant to the Issuer's third amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to twenty-five votes per share, in each case, on any matter submitted to a vote of Altice USA stockholders. Shares of Class B common stock that have been converted into Class A common stock may not be converted back into shares of Class B common stock.

(2) On March 22, 2019, the reporting person entered into a Variable Prepaid Forward Transaction (the "Transaction") with an unaffiliated bank (the "Bank") relating to 2,244,563 shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer (the "Shares"). The Transaction is divided into two individual components (each a "Component") designated by valuation date, which are the two trading days from March 22, 2022 through March 23, 2022, inclusive, of which the number of shares are, respectively, 1,122,282 Shares and 1,122,281 Shares (each, the "Component Number of Shares" for the relevant Component).

(3) On the settlement date for each Component, the reporting person will be obligated to deliver to the Bank a number of Shares determined as follows (or, at the reporting person's election, it may pay an equivalent amount in cash on the cash settlement date(s)): (a) if the volume weighted average trading price per share on the valuation date for the relevant Component (the "Settlement Price") is less than $22.02 (the "Floor Price"), the Component Number of Shares; (b) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than or equal to $29.73 (the "Cap Price"), the Component Number of Shares multiplied by the Floor Price divided by the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Cap Price, the Component Number of Shares multiplied by (1 - ((Forward Cap Price - Forward Floor Price), divided by the Settlement Price)).

(4) In exchange for assuming this obligation, the reporting person is receiving a cash payment of $43,000,000 in connection with entering into the Transaction. The Transaction was undertaken to fund tax obligations of the reporting person arising from the pro rata distribution in kind of Issuer's Class A common stock and Class B common stock to holders of Altice Europe N.V.'s common shares A and common shares B, as described in the Form S-1 filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective May 23, 2018. The reporting person pledged 2,244,563 Shares (the "Pledged Shares") to the Bank to secure its obligations under the Transaction. The reporting person retained voting rights in the Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge, subject to the Bank's exercise of default remedies. The terms of the Transaction may be adjusted to account for the economic effects of dividends paid during the term of the pledge.
