Changes in Reuters source
editOn April 28, Reuters listed the new public company as SpinCo, and stated that equity in the company would be split by Comcast and Time Warner Cable at 66% and 33%. Source from web archive Apr 28:
Comcast also said it would divest another 2.5 million subscribers into a new publicly traded company, dubbed SpinCo for now, to be one-third owned by Charter and two-thirds owned by Comcast shareholders.
However, today the article has been modified to state the name of the company is unknown, and that Comcast will own no equity in the new company. Source from web archive Apr 29:
Under the deal for the new company, Charter would manage the as-yet-to-be named company and Charter CEO Tom Rutledge would become its chairman...A person familiar with the deal said there was a standstill agreement with Charter stipulating that it cannot gain full control of the new company for four years. Comcast will have no ownership.
There's been no notice of correction, though the article now lists Leslie Adler as an editor. Without a redacting statement, there seems to be no reason to doubt the claims made on Apr 28 and Comcast has confirmed Charter's ownership of 33% of SpinCo.Forbes72 (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
