SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 30, 2026
PROSPECTUS
Offer to Exchange
Up to $1,172,013,000 aggregate principal amount of new 5.168% Notes due 2037 registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
for any and all outstanding unregistered 5.168% Notes due 2037
Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) is offering to exchange: new registered 5.168% Notes due 2037 (the “Exchange Notes”) for its outstanding unregistered 5.168% Notes due 2037 (the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes and the Exchange Notes are sometimes referred to in this prospectus together as the “Notes.” The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Notes, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the transfer restrictions and registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, unsecured and will rank equally with all of our and our guarantors’ unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NBCUniversal Media, LLC (“NBCUniversal”) and Comcast Cable Communications, LLC (“Comcast Cable Communications”).
The Original Notes may only be tendered in an amount equal to $2,000 in principal amount and in multiples of $1,000 thereafter. Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest on the Original Notes has been paid (July 15, 2026), and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2027. We will deem the right to receive any interest accrued but unpaid on the Original Notes waived by you if we accept your Original Notes for exchange. Accordingly, holders whose tenders are accepted for exchange will not receive any payment in respect of accrued interest on such Original Notes, unless the record date for any such interest payment occurs before the completion of the Exchange Offer. We refer to this offer as the “Exchange Offer.” For a more detailed description of the Exchange Notes, see “Description of Exchange Notes and the Guarantees.”
We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy. You do not have dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the Exchange Offer. See “The Exchange Offer—Absence of Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.”
No public market currently exists for the Original Notes and we cannot assure you that any public market for the Exchange Notes will develop. The Exchange Notes will not be listed on any national securities exchange.
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be deemed to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.
We have agreed that, for a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution” below.
Holders may withdraw their tendered Original Notes at any time at or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) of the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on , 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by us (such date, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated with respect to the Exchange Notes, the “Expiration Date”). The Exchange Offer is subject to customary conditions discussed under “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”
Investing in the Exchange Notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and page 37 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which is incorporated by reference herein, and on page 12 of this prospectus, to read about factors you should consider before investing in the Exchange Notes.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Exchange Offer
| Offeror |
Comcast Corporation |
| The Exchange Offer |
We are offering to exchange our Exchange Notes which have been registered under the Securities Act for a like principal amount of our outstanding unregistered Original Notes. Original Notes may only be tendered in an amount equal to $2,000 in principal amount and in integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. See “The Exchange Offer” for more information on the terms of the Exchange Offer. |
| Resale of Exchange Notes |
We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and, to the best of our information and belief, each person that will participate in the Exchange Offer will acquire the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer. Based upon the position of the staff of the SEC as described in previous no-action letters and subject to the immediately following sentence, we believe that Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Original Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that you will be deemed to acknowledge in writing at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer that: |
| • | you are not a broker-dealer tendering Original Notes that you acquired directly from us for your own account; |
| • | you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business; |
| • | you have not participated in, do not intend to participate in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes; and |
| • | you are not our “affiliate” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act. |
| However, any purchaser of Exchange Notes who is an affiliate of ours or who intends to participate in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Notes (i) will not be able to rely on the interpretations of the SEC staff set forth in the above-mentioned no-action letters, (ii) will not be entitled to tender its Original Notes in the Exchange Offer and (iii) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the Exchange Notes unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements. |
| Any broker-dealer who holds Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receives Exchange Notes in exchange for such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements |
7
Table of Contents
| of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.” |
| Purpose of the Exchange Offer |
The purpose of the Exchange Offer is to satisfy our obligations under registration rights agreements, dated as of October 2, 2025 and October 9, 2025 (each a “Registration Right Agreement” and together, the “Registration Rights Agreements”). |
| Consequences If You Do Not Exchange Your Original Notes |
Original Notes that are not tendered in the Exchange Offer or are not accepted for exchange will continue to bear legends restricting their transfer. You will not be able to offer or sell such Original Notes unless: |
| • | you are able to rely on an exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act; or |
| • | the Original Notes are registered under the Securities Act. |
| To the extent that Original Notes are tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer , the trading market for any remaining Original Notes may (and likely will) be adversely affected. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Participation in the Exchange Offer—If you fail to exchange your Original Notes, they will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid.” |
| After the Exchange Offer is complete, you will not have any further rights under the Registration Rights Agreements, including any right to require us to register any outstanding Original Notes that you do not exchange (except under limited circumstances) or to pay you the additional interest we agreed to pay to holders of Original Notes if we failed to timely commence and complete the Exchange Offer. |
| Accrued and Unpaid Interest |
The Exchange Notes will bear interest from the most recent date on which interest on the Original Notes has been paid (July 15, 2026). If your Original Notes are accepted for exchange, you will receive interest on the corresponding Exchange Notes and not on the Original Notes. Any Original Notes not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest according to their terms. |
| Expiration Date |
The Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer will be 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on , 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by us. The term “Expiration Date” means such date and time or, if we extend the Exchange Offer, the latest date and time to which we extend such Exchange Offer. |
| Settlement Date |
The settlement of the Exchange Offer will occur promptly after the Expiration Date. |
| Conditions to the Exchange Offer |
The Exchange Offer is subject to customary conditions described in “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” including, among other things, the condition that no stop order has been issued for the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, or any proceedings for that purpose, and that there shall not have |
8
Table of Contents
| occurred or be reasonably likely to occur any material adverse change to our business, operations, properties, condition, assets, liabilities, prospects or financial affairs. |
| The Exchange Offer is not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirements or approvals other than securities laws and blue sky laws. |
| Extension; Waivers and Amendments |
Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to (1) extend the Exchange Offer; (2) waive any and all conditions to or amend the Exchange Offer in any respect (except as to the condition that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part not being subject to a stop order or any proceedings for that purpose, which condition we cannot waive); or (3) terminate the Exchange Offer. Any extension, waiver, amendment or termination will be followed as promptly as practicable by a public announcement thereof, such announcement, in the case of an extension, to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the last previously scheduled Expiration Date. See “The Exchange Offer—Expiration Date; Extension; Termination; Amendment.” |
| Terms of Exchange Notes |
The terms of the Exchange Notes are described in this prospectus under “Description of Exchange Notes.” |
| Procedures for Tendering the Original Notes |
You may tender your Original Notes by transferring them through The Depository Trust Company’s (the “DTC”) Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) as described under “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes.” |
| For further information, call the Exchange Agent at the telephone numbers set forth under “The Exchange Agent” or consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance. |
| If you are a beneficial owner of Original Notes that are held by or registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian and you wish to tender your Original Notes in order to participate in the Exchange Offer, you should contact your intermediary entity promptly and instruct it to tender the Original Notes on your behalf. You should keep in mind that your intermediary may require you to take action with respect to the Exchange Offer a number of days before the Expiration Date in order for such entity to tender Original Notes on your behalf at or prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. See “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes.” |
| If you are a beneficial owner of Original Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg (each as defined herein) and wish to tender your Original Notes, you must instruct Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, to block the account in respect of the tendered Original Notes in accordance with the procedures established by Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg. You are |
9
Table of Contents
| encouraged to contact Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg directly to ascertain their procedures for tendering Original Notes. |
| Withdrawal Rights; Non-Acceptance |
You may withdraw your tender of Original Notes at any time prior to the Expiration Date. In the event that tendered Original Notes are not withdrawn and not accepted by us for exchange, such Original Notes will be promptly returned to such holders or credited to such holders’ DTC account in the same manner as tendered to us, unless a holder has indicated other delivery instructions in the related computer- generated message. See “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders” and “The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer.” |
| Absence of Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal |
You do not have dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to the Exchange Offer. See “The Exchange Offer—Absence of Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.” |
| Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations |
The exchange of notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” |
| Accounting Treatment |
The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Original Notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the completion of the Exchange Offer. Payments made to other third parties will be expensed as incurred in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See “The Exchange Offer—Accounting Treatment.” |
| Exchange Agent |
The Bank of New York Mellon is the Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer. See “The Exchange Agent” herein. |

Table of Contents
Any investment in the Exchange Notes involves a high degree of risk, including but not limited to the risks described below. In addition, you should carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed under “Item 1A—Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and “Item 1A—Risk Factors” beginning on page 37 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as well as the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described below and in our Annual Report are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. As a result, the trading price of the Exchange Notes could decline, perhaps significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks discussed below also include forward- looking statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer
Our board of directors has not made a recommendation as to whether you should tender your Original Notes in exchange for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, and we have not obtained a third-party determination that the Exchange Offer is fair to holders of our Original Notes.
Our board of directors has not made, and will not make, any recommendation as to whether holders of Original Notes should tender their Original Notes in exchange for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. We have not retained, and do not intend to retain, any unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the holders of the Original Notes for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Exchange Offer, or preparing a report or making any recommendation concerning the fairness of the Exchange Offer. Therefore, if you tender your Original Notes, you may not receive more than or as much value as if you chose to keep them. Holders of Original Notes must make their own independent decisions regarding their participation in the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offer may be cancelled or delayed.
The consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions discussed under “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” We may, at our option and in our sole discretion, waive any such conditions. Even if the Exchange Offer is completed, the Exchange Offer may not be completed on the schedule described in this prospectus. Accordingly, holders participating in the Exchange Offer may have to wait longer than expected to receive their Exchange Notes, during which time those holders of the Original Notes will not be able to effect transfers of their Original Notes tendered for exchange.
If you fail to exchange your Original Notes, they will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid.
Original Notes that you do not tender or that we do not accept will, following the Exchange Offer, continue to be restricted securities, and you may not offer to sell them except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities law. We will issue Exchange Notes in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer only following the satisfaction of the procedures and conditions set forth in “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” and “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes.” These procedures and conditions include timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Original Notes and of an agent’s message from DTC. Therefore, holders of the Original Notes desiring to tender such Original Notes in exchange for Exchange Notes should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Additionally, we are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities of tenders of Original Notes for exchange.

Because we anticipate that most holders of Original Notes will elect to exchange their Original Notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any Original Notes remaining after the completion of the Exchange Offer will be substantially limited. Any Original Notes tendered and exchanged in the Exchange Offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes outstanding. Following the Exchange Offer, if you do not tender your Original Notes, you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Original Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Original Notes could be adversely affected.
If an active trading market does not develop for the Exchange Notes, you may be unable to sell the Exchange Notes or to sell them at a price you deem sufficient.
The Exchange Notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no public trading market. We do not intend to list the Exchange Notes on any national securities exchange. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that an active trading market will develop upon completion of the Exchange Offer or, if it develops, that such market will be sustained, or as to the liquidity of any market. If an active trading market does not develop or is not sustained, the market price and the liquidity of the Exchange Notes may be adversely affected. In addition, the liquidity of the trading market for the Exchange Notes, if it develops, and the market price quoted for the Exchange Notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for those securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry generally.
We may repurchase any Original Notes that are not accepted for purchase and exchange in the Exchange Offer in future transactions on terms that are more favorable to the holders of the Original Notes than the terms of the Exchange Offer.
We may, from time to time after completion of the Exchange Offer, purchase additional Original Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise. Any future purchases or exchanges may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to holders of Original Notes than the terms of the Exchange Offer. Any future purchases or exchanges by us will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) we may choose to pursue in the future.
Some noteholders may be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
If you exchange your Original Notes in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. In addition, any broker-dealer who holds Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receives Exchange Notes in exchange for such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. Our obligation to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective is limited. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that a current prospectus will be available at all times to broker-dealers wishing to resell their Exchange Notes.

The Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of the Original Notes. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer. The Original Notes surrendered and exchanged for the Exchange Notes will be retired and canceled.

Purpose of the Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange our 5.168% Notes due 2037, which have been registered under the Securities Act and which we refer to as the “Exchange Notes,” for our outstanding 5.168% Notes due 2037, which have not been so registered and which we refer to as the “Original Notes.” We refer to this exchange offer as the “Exchange Offer.”
On October 2, 2025, Comcast consummated prior private offers to exchange its 5.350% Notes due 2027, 3.150% Notes due 2028, 3.550% Notes due 2028, 3.300% Notes due 2027 and 5.100% Notes due 2029 for up to $1,750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes.
On October 9, 2025, Comcast consummated prior private offers to exchange its 4.150% Notes due 2028 and 4.550% Notes due 2029 for up to $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes.
In connection with the previous exchange offers, Comcast and the guarantors entered into the Registration Rights Agreements, with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as joint-lead dealer managers and as representatives of the several dealer managers for the previous exchange offers, whom we refer to collectively as the “Dealer Managers.” Under the Registration Rights Agreements, we agreed to file and to use our reasonable efforts to have declared effective the exchange offer registration statement under the Securities Act and to consummate the Exchange Offer.
We are making the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the SEC as set forth in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation and similar no-action letters. However, we have not sought our own no-action letter. Based upon these interpretations by the SEC, we believe that a holder of Exchange Notes who is not our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act and who exchanges Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer generally may offer the Exchange Notes for resale, sell the Exchange Notes and otherwise transfer the Exchange Notes without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivery of a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act. This does not apply, however, to a holder who is our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act. We also believe that a holder may offer, sell or transfer the Exchange Notes only if the holder acknowledges that the holder is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business and is not participating, does not intend to participate and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes.
Any holder of the Original Notes using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of Exchange Notes cannot rely on the no-action letters referred to above. Any broker-dealer who holds Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receives Exchange Notes in exchange for such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.” You may not participate in the Exchange Offer if you are a broker-dealer tendering Original Notes that you acquired directly from us for your own account.
Except as set forth in this prospectus, this prospectus may not be used for an offer to resell, resale or other transfer of Exchange Notes.
The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will we accept tenders for exchange from, holders of Original Notes in any jurisdiction in which the Exchange Offer or the acceptance of them would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction.
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
15
Table of Contents
activities, shall be deemed to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution” below.
Resale of Exchange Notes
We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and, to the best of our information and belief, each person that will participate in the Exchange Offer will acquire the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer.
Based upon the position of the staff of the SEC as described in previous no-action letters and subject to the immediately following sentence, we believe that Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Original Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that you will be deemed to acknowledge in writing at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer that:
| • | you are not a broker-dealer tendering Original Notes that you acquired directly from us for your own account; |
| • | you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business; |
| • | you have not participated in, do not intend to participate in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes; and |
| • | you are not our “affiliate” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act. |
However, any purchaser of Exchange Notes who is an affiliate of ours or who intends to participate in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Notes (i) will not be able to rely on the interpretations of the SEC staff set forth in the above-mentioned no-action letters, (ii) will not be entitled to tender its Original Notes in the Exchange Offer and (iii) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the Exchange Notes unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements.
With regard to broker-dealers, any broker-dealer who holds any Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the Exchange Offer so long as the broker-dealer has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with us or an affiliate of ours to distribute the Exchange Notes.
Any broker-dealer who holds Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receives Exchange Notes in exchange for such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
Based on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, we will accept any and all Original Notes validly tendered prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date for the Exchange Offer.
16
Table of Contents
Subject to the minimum denomination requirements of the Exchange Notes, we will issue $1,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Original Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer on or before the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn. Holders may tender some or all of the Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. However, Original Notes may be tendered only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. Promptly after the Expiration Date (unless extended as described in this prospectus), we will issue an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,172,013,000 of Exchange Notes for a like principal amount of outstanding Original Notes tendered and accepted in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Notes issued in connection with the Exchange Offer will be delivered promptly after the Expiration Date.
The terms of the Exchange Notes will be substantially identical to the terms of the Original Notes, except that:
| • | the offer and sale of the Exchange Notes will have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, the Exchange Notes will not bear legends restricting the transfer of the Exchange Notes; and |
| • | holders of the Exchange Notes will not be entitled to any rights under the Registration Rights Agreements, which rights will terminate upon the consummation of the Exchange Offer, or to the additional interest provisions of the Registration Rights Agreements. |
The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Original Notes and will be issued under the same indenture and be entitled to the same benefits under that indenture as the Original Notes being exchanged. As of the date of this prospectus, $1,172,013,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes is outstanding.
In connection with the issuance of the Original Notes, we arranged for the Original Notes purchased by qualified institutional buyers and those sold in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act to be issued and transferable in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC, acting as depositary. Except as described under “Description of Exchange Notes—Book-Entry System,” Exchange Notes will be issued in the form of one or more global notes registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and each beneficial owner’s interest in it will be transferable in book-entry form through DTC. See “Description of Exchange Notes—Book-Entry System.”
Holders of Original Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Exchange Offer. Original Notes that are not tendered for exchange or are tendered but not accepted in connection with the Exchange Offer will remain outstanding and be entitled to the benefits of our Indenture (as defined below), but certain registration and other rights under the Registration Rights Agreements will terminate and holders of the Original Notes will generally not be entitled to any registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreements. See “—Consequences of Failure to Properly Tender Original Notes in the Exchange Offer.”
We shall be considered to have accepted validly tendered Original Notes if and when we have given oral (to be followed by prompt written notice) or written notice to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the Exchange Notes from us.
If any tendered Original Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events described in this prospectus or otherwise, we will return the Original Notes, without expense, to the tendering holder promptly after the Expiration Date for the Exchange Offer.
Holders who tender Original Notes will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or transfer taxes on exchange of Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, except as described under “—Fees and Expenses” and “—Transfer Taxes.”
Expiration Date; Extension; Termination; Amendment
The Expiration Date for the Exchange Offer is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on , 2026, unless extended by us in our sole discretion, in which case the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest date and time to which the Exchange Offer is extended with respect to the Exchange Notes.
17
Table of Contents
Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion:
| • | to delay accepting any Original Notes, to extend the Exchange Offer or to terminate the Exchange Offer if, in our reasonable judgment, any of the conditions described below shall not have been satisfied, by giving oral (to be followed by prompt written notice) or written notice of the delay, extension or termination to the Exchange Agent; or |
| • | to amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner. |
If we amend the Exchange Offer in a manner that we consider material, we will disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement, and we will extend the Exchange Offer for a period of five to ten business days.
If we determine to extend, amend or terminate the Exchange Offer, we will publicly announce this determination by making a timely release through an appropriate news agency.
If we delay accepting any Original Notes or terminate the Exchange Offer, we promptly will pay the consideration offered, or return any Original Notes deposited, pursuant to the Exchange Offer as required by Rule 14e-1(c).
Interest on the Exchange Notes
The Exchange Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.168% per annum from the most recent date to which interest on the Original Notes has been paid (July 15, 2026). Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2027.
Conditions to the Exchange Offer
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Exchange Offer, or any extension of the Exchange Offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to exchange any Exchange Notes for, any Original Notes and we may terminate the Exchange Offer or, at our option, modify, extend or otherwise amend the Exchange Offer, if any of the following conditions are not satisfied at or prior to the Expiration Date:
| (1) | In our reasonable judgment, no action or event has occurred or been threatened (including a default under an agreement, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which we or one of our affiliates is a party or by which we or any of our affiliates is bound), no action is pending, no action has been taken, and no statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, stay, decree or injunction has been promulgated, enacted, entered, enforced or deemed applicable to the Exchange Offer or the exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes under the Exchange Offer by or before any court or governmental regulatory or administrative agency, authority, or tribunal, which either: |
| • | challenges the making of the Exchange Offer or the exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes under the Exchange Offer or might, directly or indirectly, prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay consummation of, or might otherwise adversely affect in any material manner, the Exchange Offer or the exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes under the Exchange Offer; or |
| • | in our reasonable judgment, could materially affect the business, condition (financial or otherwise), income, operations, properties, assets, liabilities or prospects of Comcast and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or materially impair the contemplated benefits to Comcast of the Exchange Offer or the exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes under the Exchange Offer; |
| (2) | None of the following has occurred: |
| • | the SEC has issued a stop order which would suspend the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the qualification of the applicable indenture governing the Exchange Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; |
18
Table of Contents
| • | any general suspension of, or limitation on, trading in securities on any United States national securities exchanges or in the over the counter market (whether or not mandatory); |
| • | a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks by federal or state authorities in the United States (whether or not mandatory); |
| • | any material adverse change in the United States’ securities or financial markets generally; or |
| • | in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof; and |
| (3) | The Trustee (as defined below) under our Indenture has not objected in any respect to, or taken any action that could in our reasonable judgment adversely affect the consummation of, any of the Exchange Offer, nor has the Trustee taken any action that challenges the validity or effectiveness of the procedures used by us in making the Exchange Offer. |
We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the Exchange Offer and to reject for exchange any Original Notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer specified above. We will give oral or written notice (with any oral notice to be promptly confirmed in writing) of any amendment, non-acceptance, termination or waiver to the Exchange Agent as promptly as practicable, followed by a timely press release.
These conditions are for our sole benefit and, except as set forth below, may be waived by us, in whole or in part in our sole discretion. Any determination made by us concerning these events, developments or circumstances shall be conclusive and binding. We may, at our option and in our sole discretion, waive any such conditions except for the condition that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is not subject to a stop order or any proceedings for that purpose.
All conditions to the Exchange Offer must be satisfied or, where permitted, waived at or by the Expiration Date. In addition, we may in our absolute discretion, subject to applicable law, terminate the Exchange Offer for any other reason.
If any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, we may, at any time at or prior to the Expiration Date:
| • | terminate the Exchange Offer and promptly return all tendered Original Notes to the respective tendering holders; |
| • | modify, extend or otherwise amend the Exchange Offer and retain all tendered Original Notes until the Expiration Date, as extended, subject, however, to the withdrawal rights of holders; or |
| • | waive the unsatisfied conditions, except for the condition that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is not subject to a stop order or any proceedings for that purpose, and accept all Original Notes tendered and not previously validly withdrawn. |
Effect of Tender
Any tender by a holder, and our subsequent acceptance of that tender, of Original Notes will constitute a binding agreement between that holder and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer described in this prospectus. The participation in the Exchange Offer by a tendering holder of Original Notes will constitute the agreement by that holder to deliver good and marketable title to the tendered Original Notes, free and clear of any and all liens, restrictions, charges, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or rights of any kind of third parties.
Absence of Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal
Holders of the Original Notes do not have any dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the Exchange Offer.

Procedures for Tendering Original Notes
If you hold Original Notes and wish to have those notes exchanged for Exchange Notes, you must validly tender (or cause the valid tender of) your Original Notes using the procedures described in this prospectus.
The procedures by which you may tender or cause to be tendered Original Notes will depend upon the manner in which you hold the Original Notes, as described below.
If you are a beneficial owner which holds Original Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg and wish to tender your Original Notes, you must instruct Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg, as the case may be, to block the account in respect of the tendered Original Notes in accordance with the procedures established by Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg. You are encouraged to contact Euroclear and Clearstream Luxembourg directly to ascertain their procedure for tendering Original Notes.
Original Notes Held with DTC by a DTC Participant
Pursuant to authority granted by DTC, if you are a DTC participant that has Original Notes credited to your DTC account and thereby held of record by DTC’s nominee, you may directly tender your Original Notes as if you were the record holder. Accordingly, references herein to record holders include DTC participants with Original Notes credited to their accounts. Within two business days after the date of this prospectus, the Exchange Agent will establish accounts with respect to the Original Notes at DTC for purposes of the Exchange Offer.
Tenders of Original Notes will be accepted only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. Holders who tender less than all of their Original Notes must continue to hold Original Notes in at least the minimum authorized denomination of $2,000 principal amount.
Any DTC participant may tender Original Notes by effecting a book-entry transfer of the Original Notes to be tendered in the Exchange Offer into the account of the Exchange Agent at DTC and electronically transmitting its acceptance of the Exchange Offer through DTC’s ATOP procedures for transfer before the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer. No letter of transmittal will be used in connection with the Exchange Offer. The valid electronic transmission of acceptance through ATOP shall constitute delivery of Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer.
DTC will verify each acceptance transmitted to it, execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and send an agent’s message to the Exchange Agent. An “agent’s message” is a message, transmitted by DTC to and received by the Exchange Agent and forming part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement from a DTC participant tendering Original Notes that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Exchange Offer and that Comcast may enforce the agreement against the participant. DTC participants following this procedure should allow sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedures prior to the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer.
An agent’s message, and any other required documents, must be transmitted to and received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover page of this prospectus. Delivery of these documents to Comcast or DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.
Original Notes Held Through a Nominee by a Beneficial Owner
Currently, all of the Original Notes are held in book-entry form and can only be tendered by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes—Original Notes Held with DTC by a
20
Table of Contents
DTC Participant.” However, any beneficial owner whose Original Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct it to tender on the owner’s behalf if it wishes to participate in the Exchange Offer. You should keep in mind that your intermediary may require you to take action with respect to the Exchange Offer a number of days before the Expiration Date in order for such entity to tender Original Notes on your behalf at or prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer.
Beneficial owners should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may establish its own earlier deadlines for participation in the Exchange Offer. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to participate in the Exchange Offer should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the times by which such owner must take action in order to participate in the Exchange Offer.
Representations, Warranties, Acknowledgements and Undertakings

| • | represents and agrees that such holder is not an “affiliate” of Comcast or the guarantors, any Exchange Notes to be received by such holder are being acquired in the ordinary course of its business and such holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, and is not engaged and does not intend to engage, in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of such Exchange Notes; |
| • | if such holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, it represents that the Original Notes to be exchanged for Exchange Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, such holder will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act; |

| • | undertakes, upon request, to execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by Comcast or the Exchange Agent to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the Original Notes tendered thereby; |
| • | understands, acknowledges and agrees that all authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred through the submission of an electronic acceptance instruction in accordance with the requirements of ATOP shall survive the death or incapacity of such holder and any obligation of such holder hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, trustees in bankruptcy, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such holder; |
| • | understands, acknowledges and agrees that for purposes of the Exchange Offer, Comcast shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Original Notes when and if Comcast has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent; |
| • | understands, acknowledges and agrees that, subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of the Original Notes tendered thereby, such holder thereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Comcast, all right, title and interest in and to such Original Notes as are being tendered thereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time); and |
| • | understands, acknowledges and agrees that, except as stated in this prospectus in connection with a valid withdrawal, the tender of such holder’s Original Notes is irrevocable. |
Comcast has agreed that, subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2025, and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2025, the prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer who acquired the Original Notes for its own account as a result of market making or other trading activities (a “participating broker-dealer”) in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such participating broker-dealer for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, for a period ending 90 days after the Expiration Date or, if earlier, when all such Exchange Notes have been disposed of by such participating broker-dealer. In that regard, each participating broker-dealer, by tendering such Original Notes through the submission of an electronic acceptance instruction in accordance with the requirements of ATOP, agrees that, upon receipt of notice from Comcast of the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any fact which makes any statement contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus untrue in any material respect or which causes the prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained or incorporated by reference therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or of the occurrence of certain other events specified in each Registration Rights Agreement, such participating broker-dealer will suspend the sale of Exchange Notes pursuant to the prospectus until Comcast has amended or supplemented the prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus to the participating broker-dealer or Comcast has given notice that the sale of the Exchange Notes may be resumed, as the case may be. If Comcast gives such notice to suspend the sale of the Exchange Notes, it shall extend the 90-day period referred to above during which participating broker-dealers are entitled to use the prospectus in connection with the resale of Exchange Notes by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when participating broker-dealers shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to permit resales of the Exchange Notes or to and including the date on which Comcast has given notice that the sale of Exchange Notes may be resumed, as the case may be.
By tendering Original Notes through the submission of an electronic acceptance instruction in accordance with the requirements of ATOP, a tendering holder of Original Notes also acknowledges that the Exchange Offer is being made by Comcast based upon Comcast’s understanding of an interpretation by the staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders
22
Table of Contents
thereof, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that: (1) such holders are not affiliates of Comcast or the guarantors within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (2) such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders’ business; (3) such holders are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of such Exchange Notes and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes and (4) such holders are not broker-dealers tendering Original Notes that have been acquired from Comcast for their own account. However, the staff of the SEC has not considered the Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If a holder of Original Notes is an affiliate of Comcast or the guarantors, acquires the Exchange Notes other than in the ordinary course of such holder’s business or is engaged in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such holder could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction.
No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. By tendering Original Notes through the submission of an electronic acceptance instruction in accordance with the requirements of ATOP, the tendering holders of Original Notes waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for exchange of their Original Notes.
Miscellaneous
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Original Notes will be determined by us in our absolute discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tendered Original Notes determined by us not to be in proper form or not to be tendered properly or any tendered Original Notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive, in our absolute discretion, any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Original Notes, whether or not waived in the case of other Original Notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer will be final and binding on all parties.
Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Original Notes must be cured within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Original Notes, none of we, the Exchange Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give that notification or shall incur any liability for failure to give that notification. Tenders of Original Notes will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities therein have been cured or waived.
In addition, we reserve the right, as set forth above under the caption “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” to terminate the Exchange Offer. By tendering, each holder represents and acknowledges to us, among other things, that:

No letter of transmittal will be used in connection with the Exchange Offer. The valid electronic transmission of acceptance through ATOP shall constitute delivery of Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer. There are no guaranteed delivery procedures for the Exchange Offer.
Withdrawal of Tenders
Tenders of Original Notes in the Exchange Offer may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.
Beneficial owners desiring to withdraw a tender of Original Notes previously tendered through the ATOP procedures should contact the DTC participant through which they hold their Original Notes. In order to withdraw Original Notes previously tendered, a DTC participant may, prior to the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer, withdraw its instruction previously transmitted through ATOP by withdrawing its acceptance through ATOP.
Withdrawal of tenders of Original Notes may not be rescinded, and any Original Notes validly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Validly withdrawn Original Notes may, however, be re-tendered by again following one of the procedures described in “—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes” at or prior to the Expiration Date.
Exchange Agent
The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed as Exchange Agent in connection with the Exchange Offer. Questions and requests for assistance, as well as requests for additional copies of this prospectus, should be directed to the Exchange Agent at its offices at: The Bank of New York Mellon, as Exchange Agent, c/o BNY Mellon, Corporate Trust Operations—Reorganization Unit, 500 Ross Street, Suite 625, Pittsburgh, PA, 15262, Attention: (Raman) Uthandaraman K, Telephone Number: (615) 381-1464 .

We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. We will pay certain other expenses to be incurred in connection with the Exchange Offer, including the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent and certain accounting and legal fees.
Transfer Taxes
You will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the tender of Original Notes in the Exchange Offer unless you instruct us to issue Exchange Notes, or request that Original Notes not tendered or accepted in the Exchange Offer be returned, to a person other than the tendering holder. In those cases, you will be responsible for the payment of any applicable transfer taxes.
Accounting Treatment
The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Original Notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the completion of the Exchange Offer. Payments made to other third parties will be expensed as incurred in accordance with GAAP.

Consequences of Failure to Properly Tender Original Notes in the Exchange Offer
Issuance of the Exchange Notes in exchange for the Original Notes under the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of an agent’s message from DTC through ATOP and confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Original Notes, and all other required documents. Therefore, holders of the Original Notes desiring to tender such Original Notes in exchange for Exchange Notes should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. We are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities of tenders of Original Notes for exchange. Original Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted by us will, following completion of the Exchange Offer, continue to be subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer thereof under the Securities Act, and, upon completion of the Exchange Offer, certain registration rights under each Registration Rights Agreement will terminate.
In the event the Exchange Offer is completed, we generally will not be required to register the remaining Original Notes. Remaining Original Notes will continue to be subject to the following restrictions on transfer:
| • | the remaining Original Notes may be resold only if registered pursuant to the Securities Act, if any exemption from registration is available, or if neither such registration nor such exemption is required by law; and |
| • | the remaining Original Notes will bear a legend restricting transfer in the absence of registration or an exemption. |
We do not currently anticipate that we will register the remaining Original Notes under the Securities Act. To the extent that Original Notes are tendered and accepted in connection with the Exchange Offer, any trading market for remaining Original Notes could be adversely affected. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Participation in the Exchange Offer—If you fail to exchange your Original Notes, they will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid.”

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES
The Exchange Notes will be our direct unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Comcast Cable Communications and NBCUniversal, referred to as the guarantors, as described below. The Exchange Notes will be issued under an indenture dated as of September 18, 2013, among us, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) among us, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and as further supplemented by the second supplemental indenture dated as of July 29, 2022 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) among us, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (as amended and supplemented, the “indenture”). The terms of the Exchange Notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The indenture provides that we will have the ability to issue securities with terms different from those of the Exchange Notes. We also have the ability to “reopen” a series of Exchange Notes and issue additional notes of such series. Additional notes of such series will be consolidated with and form a single series with the notes then outstanding of such series; provided that if such additional notes are not fungible with the notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Copies of the indenture and the form of Exchange Notes are available from us upon request.
The following is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture, the Exchange Notes and the guarantees. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. For further information, you should read the Exchange Notes and the indenture.
Basic Terms of the Exchange Notes
The Exchange Notes:
| • | will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt and will be entitled to the benefits of the guarantees described below; |
| • | will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes, not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer, as follows: |
| • | 5.168% Exchange Notes, maturing on January 15, 2037 with interest payable semiannually on each January 15 and July 15, beginning January 15, 2027, to holders of record on the preceding January 1 and July 1; |
| • | are issuable in fully registered form, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. |
Interest Payments
Interest for the Exchange Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest on the Original Notes has been paid (July 15, 2026) and will be payable semiannually on the interest payment dates described for each year.
If any interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the next business day with the same force and effect as if made on the relevant interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date, and no interest will accrue in respect of the delay.
For more information on payment and transfer procedures for the Exchange Notes, see “—Book-Entry System” and “—Same Day Payment.”

Guarantees
Our obligations under the Exchange Notes and the indenture, including, without limitation, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the guarantors. The guarantees will rank equally with all other general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the guarantors.
The guarantees will not contain any restrictions on the ability of any guarantor to (i) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of that guarantor’s capital stock or (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of that guarantor.
Optional Redemption
Prior to October 15, 2036 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Exchange Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), we may redeem the Exchange Notes at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at the redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
| (1) | (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming, for this purpose, that such Exchange Notes mature on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and |
| (2) | 100% of the principal amount of the Exchange Notes to be redeemed, |
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. On or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the Exchange Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Exchange Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by us in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by us after 4:15 p.m., Eastern time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, we shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, we shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at
27
Table of Contents
11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the relevant Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding such Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining or calculating the redemption price or any component thereof.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Exchange Notes to be redeemed.
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Exchange Notes for redemption will be made, if such Exchange Notes are in the form of one or more global securities, in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (or another depositary) or, if such Exchange Notes are not in the form of one or more global securities, by lot. No Exchange Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Exchange Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Exchange Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the applicable Exchange Note to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the applicable Exchange Notes will be issued in the name of the holder of such Exchange Notes upon surrender for cancellation of such original note. For so long as the Exchange Notes are registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (or another depositary) or such depositary’s nominee, the redemption of the Exchange Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Exchange Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund
There will be no mandatory redemption prior to maturity or sinking fund payments for the Exchange Notes.
Additional Debt
The indenture does not limit the amount of debt we may issue under the indenture or otherwise.

Table of Contents
Limitation on Liens Securing Indebtedness
With respect to the senior debt securities of each series, each Obligor will covenant under the indenture not to create or incur any Lien on any of its Properties, whether owned at the time the indenture is executed or acquired afterward, in order to secure any of its Indebtedness, without effectively providing that the senior debt securities of such series shall be equally and ratably secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Lien, except:
| • | Liens existing as of the date of initial issuance of the senior debt securities of such series; |
| • | Liens granted after the date of initial issuance of the senior debt securities of such series, created in favor of the registered holders of the senior debt securities of such series; |
| • | Liens securing such Obligor’s Indebtedness which are incurred to extend, renew or refinance Indebtedness which is secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under the lien restriction covenant of the indenture, so long as such Liens are limited to all or part of substantially the same Property which secured the Liens extended, renewed or replaced and the amount of Indebtedness secured is not increased (other than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties) incurred in connection with any extension, renewal or refinancing); and |
| • | Permitted Liens. |
Notwithstanding the restrictions above, any Obligor may, without securing the senior debt securities of any series, create or incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth above, if after giving effect to those Liens, the Obligor’s Aggregate Debt together with the Aggregate Debt of each other Obligor does not exceed the greater of (i) 15% of Comcast’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien and (ii) 15% of Comcast’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the date of initial issuance of the senior debt securities of such series; provided that Liens created or incurred pursuant to the terms described in this paragraph may be extended, renewed or replaced so long as the amount of Indebtedness secured by such Liens is not increased (other than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties) incurred in connection therewith) and such refinancing Indebtedness, if then outstanding, is included in subsequent calculations of Aggregate Debt of such Obligor.
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions
With respect to the senior debt securities of each series, each Obligor will covenant under the indenture not to enter into any sale and leaseback transaction for the sale and leasing back of any Property, whether owned at the time the indenture is executed or acquired afterward, unless:
| • | such transaction was entered into prior to the date of the initial issuance of the senior debt securities of such series; |
| • | such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to such Obligor of any Property by one of its Subsidiaries; |
| • | such transaction involves a lease for less than three years; |
| • | such Obligor would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a mortgage on the Property to be leased in an amount equal to the Attributable Liens with respect to such sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the senior debt securities of such series pursuant to the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Liens Securing Indebtedness” above; or |
| • | such Obligor applies an amount equal to the fair value of the Property sold to the purchase of Property or to the retirement of its long-term Indebtedness within 365 days of the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction. In lieu of applying such amount to such retirement, such Obligor may deliver senior debt securities to the trustee therefor for cancellation, such senior debt securities to be credited at the cost thereof to the Obligor. |
32
Table of Contents
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph (including the bulleted list), any Obligor may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions with respect to the senior debt securities of any series if after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, its Aggregate Debt together with the Aggregate Debt of all other Obligors does not exceed the greater of (i) 15% of Comcast’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the closing date of the sale and leaseback transaction and (ii) 15% of Comcast’s Consolidated Net Worth calculated as of the date of initial issuance of the Exchange Notes of such series.
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
We will not consolidate or combine with or merge with or into or, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets to any Person or Persons (other than a transfer or other disposition of assets to any of our wholly owned Subsidiaries), in a single transaction or through a series of transactions, unless:
| • | we shall be the continuing Person or, if we are not the continuing Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “surviving entity”) is a company or limited liability company organized (or formed in the case of a limited liability company) and existing under the laws of the United States or any State or territory thereof or the District of Columbia; |
| • | the surviving entity will expressly assume all of our obligations under the senior debt securities and the indenture and will execute a supplemental indenture, in a form satisfactory to the trustee, which will be delivered to the trustee; |
| • | immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis, no default has occurred and is continuing; and |
| • | we or the surviving entity will have delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and opinion of counsel stating that the transaction or series of transactions and a supplemental indenture, if any, complies with this covenant and that all conditions precedent in the indenture relating to the transaction or series of transactions have been satisfied. |
The restrictions in the third bullet above shall not be applicable to:
| • | the merger or consolidation of us with an affiliate if our board of directors determines in good faith that the purpose of such transaction is principally to change our state of incorporation or convert our form of organization to another form; or |
| • | the merger of us with or into a single direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to Section 1924(b)(4) (or any successor provision) of the Business Corporation Law of the State of Pennsylvania or Section 251(g) (or any successor provision) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or similar provision of our state of incorporation). |
If any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets occurs in accordance with the indenture, the successor person will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power of ours under the indenture with the same effect as if such successor person had been named in our place in the indenture. We will (except in the case of a lease) be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the indenture and any debt securities issued thereunder (including the Exchange Notes).
Existence
Except as permitted under “—Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets,” the indenture requires us to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect our existence, rights and franchises; provided, however, that we shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if we determine that its preservation is no longer desirable in the conduct of business.

Table of Contents
Information
We will furnish to the trustee any document or report we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after such document or report is filed with the SEC; provided that in each case the delivery of materials to the Trustee by electronic means or filing documents pursuant to the SEC’s “EDGAR” system (or any successor electronic filing system) shall be deemed to constitute “filing” with the trustee for purposes of this covenant. Delivery of the reports, information and documents required by this section to be delivered to the trustee is for informational purposes only and the trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein.
Modification and Waiver
We, the guarantors and the trustee may amend or modify the indenture or the senior debt securities of any series issued under the indenture without notice to or the consent of any holder in order to:
| • | cure any ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies in the indenture in a manner that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders in any material respect; |
| • | make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of the senior debt securities; |
| • | provide for or add guarantors with respect to the senior debt securities; |
| • | secure the senior debt securities of any series; |
| • | establish the form or terms of senior debt securities of any series; |

Other amendments and modifications of the indenture or the senior debt securities of any series may be made with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the senior debt securities of all series and the debt securities of all other series outstanding under the indenture that are affected by the amendment or modification (voting together as a single class), and our compliance with any provision of the indenture with respect to the debt securities of any series issued under the indenture (including the Exchange Notes) may be waived by written notice to us and the trustee by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series outstanding under the indenture that are affected by the waiver (voting together as a single class). However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of such affected senior debt security:
| • | reduce the principal amount, or extend the fixed maturity, of the senior debt securities of such series or alter or waive the redemption provisions of the senior debt securities of such series; |
| • | impair the right of any holder of the senior debt securities of such series to receive payment of principal or interest on the senior debt securities of such series on and after the due dates for such principal or interest; |
34
Table of Contents
| • | change the currency in which principal, any premium or interest is paid; |
| • | reduce the percentage in principal amount outstanding of senior debt securities of such series which must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver or consent to take any action; |
| • | impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the senior debt securities of such series; |
| • | waive a payment default with respect to the senior debt securities of such series; |
| • | reduce the interest rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the senior debt securities of such series; or |
| • | adversely affect the ranking of the senior debt securities of such series. |
An amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver which changes, eliminates or waives any covenant or other provision of the indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of debt securities, or which modifies the rights of the holders of debt securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the indenture of the holders of debt securities of any other series.
Events of Default
Each of the following will constitute an event of default in the indenture with respect to the senior debt securities of any series issued under the indenture:
| (1) | default in paying interest on the senior debt securities of such series when it becomes due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more; |
| (2) | default in paying principal on the senior debt securities of such series when due; |
| (3) | default by any Obligor in the performance, or breach, of any covenant in the indenture (other than defaults specified in clause (1) or (2) above) and the default or breach continues for a period of 90 days or more after we receive written notice from the trustee or we and the trustee receive notice from the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the senior debt securities of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the indenture (voting together as a single class); |
| (4) | certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, administration or similar proceedings with respect to us or any Obligor have occurred; or |
| (5) | any guarantee shall not be (or shall be claimed by the relevant guarantor not to be) in full force and effect. |
If an event of default (other than an event of default specified in clause (4) above) under the indenture occurs and is continuing, then the trustee may and, at the direction of the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the senior debt securities of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the indenture (voting together as a single class), will by written notice, require us to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, together with all accrued and unpaid interest.
If an event of default under the indenture specified in clause (4) occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding senior debt securities will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder.
After a declaration of acceleration or any automatic acceleration under clause (4) described above, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding senior debt securities of any series (each such series voting as a separate class) may rescind this accelerated payment requirement with respect to the senior debt securities of such series if all existing events of default with respect to the senior debt securities of such series, except for nonpayment of the principal and interest on the senior debt securities of such series that have become
35
Table of Contents
due solely as a result of the accelerated payment requirement, have been cured or waived and if the rescission of acceleration would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all sums paid or advanced by the trustee under the indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the trustee and its agents and counsel have been paid.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the senior debt securities of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the indenture (voting together as a single class) may, by written notice to us and the trustee, also waive past defaults, except a default in paying principal or interest on any outstanding senior debt security of such series, or in respect of a covenant or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all affected holders of the senior debt securities of such series.
The holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the senior debt securities of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the indenture (voting together as a single class) may seek to institute a proceeding only after they have made written request, and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute a proceeding and the trustee has failed to do so within 60 days after it received this request and offer of indemnity. In addition, within this 60-day period the trustee must not have received directions inconsistent with this written request by holders of a majority in principal amount of the senior debt securities of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series then outstanding. These limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of the senior debt securities of any affected series for the enforcement of the payment of principal or interest on or after the due dates for such payment.
During the existence of an event of default of which a responsible officer of the trustee has actual knowledge or has received written notice from us or any holder of the senior debt securities, the trustee is required to exercise the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would under the circumstances in the conduct of that person’s own affairs. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the holders unless the holders have offered to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee. Subject to certain provisions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the senior debt securities of all affected series and the debt securities of all other affected series outstanding under the indenture (voting together as a single class) have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust, or power conferred on the trustee.
The trustee will, within 90 days after any default occurs with respect to the senior debt securities of any series, give notice of the default to the holders of the senior debt securities of such series, unless the default was already cured or waived. Unless there is a default in paying principal or interest when due, the trustee can withhold giving notice to the holders if it determines in good faith that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders.
We are required to furnish to the trustee an annual statement as to compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture within 120 days of the end of each fiscal year.
Discharge and Defeasance
We may terminate our obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the indenture with respect to the senior debt securities of any series and the guarantees of such series of senior debt securities, when:
| • | either: |
| • | all the senior debt securities of such series that have been authenticated and delivered have been canceled or delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or |
36
Table of Contents
| • | all the senior debt securities of such series issued that have not been canceled or delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, are by their terms to become due and payable at final maturity within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by such trustee in our name, and at our expense, and we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee sufficient funds to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the senior debt securities of such series to pay principal and interest; |
| • | we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable under the indenture with respect to the senior debt securities of such series; and |
| • | we have delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture with respect to the senior debt securities of such series have been complied with. |
We may elect to have our obligations under the indenture discharged with respect to the senior debt securities of any series and the obligations of the guarantors discharged with respect to the guarantees of such senior debt securities (“legal defeasance”). Legal defeasance means that we will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the senior debt securities of a series, except for:
| • | the rights of holders of the senior debt securities of such series to receive principal or interest when due; |
| • | our obligations with respect to the senior debt securities of such series concerning issuing temporary senior debt securities, registration of transfer and exchange of senior debt securities, substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen senior debt securities and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment of the senior debt securities of such series; |
| • | the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee and the provisions relating to the resignation and removal of the trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; and |
| • | the defeasance provisions of the indenture. |
In addition, we may elect to have our and the guarantors’ obligations released with respect to certain covenants in the indenture (“covenant defeasance”). If covenant defeasance occurs, certain events, not including nonpayment, bankruptcy and insolvency events, described under “—Events of Default” will no longer constitute an event of default for that series.
In order to exercise either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to outstanding senior debt securities and guarantees of any series:
| • | we must irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefits of the holders of the senior debt securities of such series: |
| • | cash; |
| • | U.S. Government Obligations (measured with respect to the scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon); or |
| • | a combination of cash and U.S. Government Obligations; |
in each case sufficient without reinvestment, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the trustee to pay and discharge, all of the principal and interest due on or prior to maturity or if we have made irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in our name and at our expense, due on or prior to the redemption date;
37
Table of Contents
| • | in the case of legal defeasance, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that, as a result of an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) ruling or a change in applicable federal income tax law, the beneficial owners of the senior debt securities of such series will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be effected and will be subject to the same federal income tax as would be the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge did not occur; |
| • | in the case of covenant defeasance, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the senior debt securities of such series will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected and will be subject to the same federal income tax as would be the case if the deposit and covenant defeasance did not occur; |
| • | no default with respect to the outstanding senior debt securities of such series has occurred and is continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect to the deposit or, in the case of legal defeasance, no default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency has occurred and is continuing at any time on or before the 91st day after the date of such deposit (other than an event of default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings), it being understood that this condition is not deemed satisfied until after the 91st day; |
| • | the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not cause the trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, assuming all senior debt securities of such series were in default within the meaning of such act; |
| • | the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the indenture (other than an event of default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings), the guarantees or any other material agreement or instrument to which we are a party; |
| • | the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless the trust is registered under such act or exempt from registration; and |
| • | we have delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent with respect to the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. |
No Personal Liability of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers, Directors or Employees
The indenture provides that no recourse shall be had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the indenture, the guarantees or in any note, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, employee, officer or director, as such, of us, any guarantor, or of any of their respective successors, either directly or through us, any guarantor, or of any of their respective successors, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the senior debt securities by the holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the senior debt securities.
Concerning the Trustee
Except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into the indenture against the trustee. In case an event of default of which certain officers of the trustee shall have actual knowledge or shall have received written notice from us or any holder of our senior debt securities of any series has occurred and is continuing, the trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by the indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Table of Contents
The Trustee
We may have normal banking relationships with the trustee under the indenture in the ordinary course of business.
Governing Law
The indenture, including any guarantee, and the Exchange Notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Book-Entry System
We will initially issue the Exchange Notes in the form of one or more global notes (the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to DTC or another nominee of DTC. A holder may hold beneficial interests in the Global Notes directly through DTC if such holder has an account with DTC or indirectly through organizations which have accounts with DTC, including Euroclear and Clearstream.
Holders may hold interests in the Exchange Notes outside the United States through Euroclear or Clearstream if they are participants in those systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in those systems. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Euroclear’s and Clearstream’s names on the books of their respective depositaries which in turn will hold such positions in customers’ securities accounts in the names of the nominees of the depositaries on the books of DTC. All securities in Euroclear or Clearstream are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts.
DTC
DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a clearing corporation within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a clearing agency registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of institutions that have accounts with DTC (“participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s book-entry system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies (collectively, the “indirect participants”) that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, whether directly or indirectly.
We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC, upon the deposit of the Global Notes with DTC, DTC will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the principal amount of Exchange Notes represented by such Global Notes to the accounts of participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be shown on and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants’ interests), the participants and the indirect participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note other than participants). All interests in a Global Note deposited with DTC are subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC.
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the Global Notes.
39
Table of Contents
So long as DTC (or its nominee) is the registered holder and owner of a Global Note, DTC (or such nominee) will be considered the sole legal owner and holder of the notes evidenced by such Global Note for all purposes of such notes and the indenture. Except as set forth below under “—Certificated Notes,” as an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, you will not be entitled to have the notes represented by such Global Note registered in your name, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes and will not be considered to be the owner or holder of any notes under such Global Note. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of such Global Note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.
We will make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Exchange Notes represented by the Global Notes registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the Global Notes.
We expect that DTC (or its nominee), upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Global Notes will credit the accounts of their relevant participants or account holders, as applicable, with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the applicable Global Note as shown on the records of DTC (or its nominee). We also expect that payments by participants or indirect participants or account holders, as applicable, to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through such participants or indirect participants or account holders will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants or indirect participants or account holders, as applicable. We will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes for any notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or indirect participants, or the relationship between such participants or indirect participants, and the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes owning through such participants.
All amounts payable under the notes will be payable in U.S. dollars, except as may otherwise be agreed between any applicable securities clearing system and any holders. Payments will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations (including any regulations of any applicable securities clearing system) applicable thereto. None of the trustee, us, the guarantors or any of our or their respective agents shall be liable to any holder of a Global Note or other person for any commissions, costs, losses or expenses in relation to or resulting from any currency conversion or rounding effected in connection therewith. Investors may be subject to foreign exchange risks that may have important economic and tax consequences to them.
Certificated Notes
Subject to certain conditions, the Exchange Notes represented by the Global Notes are exchangeable for certificated Exchange Notes in definitive form of like tenor in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof if:
| (1) | DTC provides notification that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor is not appointed within 90 days; |
| (2) | we in our discretion at any time determine not to have all the Exchange Notes represented by the Global Notes; or |
| (3) | a default entitling the holders of the applicable Exchange Notes to accelerate the maturity thereof has occurred and is continuing. |
Any Exchange Note that is exchangeable as above is for certificated Exchange Notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Note is not
40
Table of Contents
exchangeable, except for a Global Note of the same aggregate denomination to be registered in the name of DTC (or its nominee).
Same-Day Payment
The indenture requires payments to be made in respect of the applicable Exchange Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holder thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to such holder’s registered address.
Payments (including principal, premium and interest) and transfers with respect to notes in certificated form may be executed at the office or agency maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York (initially the office of the paying agent maintained for such purpose) or, at our option, by check mailed to the holders thereof at the respective addresses set forth in the register of holders of the applicable notes, provided that all payments (including principal, premium and interest) on notes in certificated form, for which the holders thereof have given wire transfer instructions, will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders thereof. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection with that registration may be required.
41
Table of Contents
CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer will not result in any United States federal income tax consequences to holders. The tax consequences of holding the Exchange Notes are identical to those of holding the Original Notes. Accordingly, when a holder exchanges an Original Note for an Exchange Note in the Exchange Offer, the holder will have the same adjusted basis and holding period in the Exchange Note as in the Original Note immediately before the exchange, and the Exchange Note will have the same adjusted issue price as the adjusted issue price of the Original Note immediately before the exchange.
42
Table of Contents
If you want to participate in the Exchange Offer, you must represent, among other things, that you:
| • | are not a broker-dealer tendering Original Notes that you acquired directly from us for your own account; |
| • | are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business; |
| • | have not participated in, do not intend to participate in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes; and |
| • | are not an “affiliate” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act. |
If you fail to satisfy any of these conditions, you cannot rely on the position of the SEC set forth in the no-action letters referred to above under “Summary—The Exchange Offer—Resale of Exchange Notes” and you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a resale of the Exchange Notes.
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be deemed to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker- dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. Comcast has agreed that, for a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
Comcast will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date, Comcast will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers, and will indemnify the holders of the Exchange Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Comcast Corporation
Indemnification under Pennsylvania Law and Comcast’s Charter and Bylaws.
Sections 1741 through 1750 of Subchapter D, Chapter 17, of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (“PBCL”), contain provisions for mandatory and discretionary indemnification of a corporation’s directors, officers and other personnel, and related matters.
Under Section 1741 of the PBCL, subject to certain limitations, a corporation has the power to indemnify directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with an action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than derivative or corporate actions), to which any such officer or director is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such officer or director being a representative of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, so long as the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, such officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 1742 of the PBCL permits indemnification in derivative and corporate actions if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the officer or director has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the proper court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the officer or director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court deems proper.
Under Section 1743 of the PBCL, indemnification is mandatory to the extent that the officer or director has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding referred to in Section 1741 or 1742 of the PBCL.
Section 1744 of the PBCL provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification under Section 1741 or 1742 of the PBCL shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the officer or director met the applicable standard of conduct, and such determination must be made (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum of directors not parties to the action or proceeding, (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable, or if obtainable and a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the shareholders.
Section 1745 of the PBCL provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any action or proceeding referred to in Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Except as otherwise provided in the corporation’s by-laws, advancement of expenses must be authorized by the board of directors.
Section 1746 of the PBCL provides generally that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law,

agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in the officer or director’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding that office. In no event may indemnification be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
Section 1747 of the PBCL grants a corporation the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer against any liability asserted against the officer or director or incurred by the officer or director in his or her capacity as officer or director, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the officer or director against that liability under Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL.
Sections 1748 and 1749 of the PBCL extend the indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions contained in Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL to successor corporations in fundamental changes and to officers and directors serving as fiduciaries of employee benefit plans.
Section 1750 of the PBCL provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of the PBCL shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such person.
Article Eleventh of the Registrant’s charter provides that no person who is or was a director of the Registrant will be personally liable, as such, for monetary damages (other than under criminal statutes and under laws imposing such liability on directors for the payment of taxes) unless such person’s conduct constitutes self- dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. Article Twelfth of the Registrant’s charter extends such protection to any person who is or was an officer of the Registrant.
Article 7 of the Registrant’s by-laws provides that each officer and director of the Registrant will be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such officer or director in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any appeal therefrom (a “Proceeding”). No indemnification will be made, however, in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness, or in connection with a Proceeding (or part of a Proceeding) initiated by an officer or director (except in connection with a Proceeding to enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses), unless the Proceeding (or part of the Proceeding) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification includes the right to have the expenses incurred by such director or officer in participating in any Proceeding paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding automatically and without any action or approval required by the Board of Directors, provided that, if Pennsylvania law requires, the payment of expenses incurred by such director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall only be made upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay all advanced amounts without interest if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be so indemnified.
Article 7 of the Registrant’s by-laws also provides that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, for the benefit of any person on behalf of whom insurance is permitted to be purchased by Pennsylvania law against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person under Pennsylvania or any other law. The Registrant may also purchase and maintain insurance to insure its indemnification obligations.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its directors, to indemnify the directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Registrant also maintains directors and officers insurance to insure such persons against certain liabilities.

Item 22. Undertakings
| (a) | The undersigned registrants hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| • | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| • | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; |
II-4
Table of Contents
| • | Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| • | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
| (5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| • | any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| • | any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| • | the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
| • | any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |

II-5
Table of Contents
| 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
| (d) | The undersigned registrants hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. |

| 1. | Interest. |
COMCAST CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. Cash interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from October 2, 2025.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Securities and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.
| 2. | Method of Payment. |
The Issuer shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to such Interest Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”) to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). However, the payments of interest, and any portion of the principal (other than interest payable at maturity or on any redemption or repayment date or the final payment of principal) shall be made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt from the Issuer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to between the Issuer and the Paying Agent or the Issuer), directly to a Holder (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment will be so made and designating the bank account to which such payments shall be so made and in the case of payments of principal surrenders the same to the Trustee in exchange for a Security or Securities aggregating the same principal amount as the unredeemed principal amount of the Securities surrendered.
| 3. | Paying Agent. |
Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.
| 4. | Indenture. |
The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of September 18, 2013, by and among the Issuer, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 17, 2015, by and among the Issuer, the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and the Trustee and as further amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 29, 2022, by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee (as amended, the “Indenture”). Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Security are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. This note is a “Security” and the notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.
| 5. | Guarantees. |
Each Guarantor has irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, the full and punctual payment (whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, the Securities, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.
| 6. | Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. |
The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the giving of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange any security selected for redemption in whole or in part.
| 7. | Persons Deemed Owners. |
The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
| 8. | Unclaimed Funds. |
If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Issuer at its written request.
2
After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease.
| 9. | Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. |
The Issuer and the Guarantors may be discharged from their respective obligations under the Securities and under the Indenture with respect to the Securities except for certain provisions thereof, and may be discharged from obligations to comply with certain covenants contained in the Securities and in the Indenture with respect to the Securities, in each case upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Indenture.
| 10. | Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. |
Subject to certain exceptions, the Securities and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security.
| 11. | Restrictive Covenants. |
The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors to incur liens securing indebtedness, or to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and of the Issuer to merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
| 12. | Redemption. |
Prior to October 15, 2036 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Securities) (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming, for this purpose, that the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and
3
(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)-H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields - one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life - and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of
4
the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining or calculating the redemption price or any component thereof.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Securities to be redeemed.
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If the Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption will state the portion of the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security will be issued in the name of the holder of such Security upon surrender for cancellation of such original Security. For so long as any Security is registered in the name of the Depositary, the redemption of any Security shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.
Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.
| 13. | Defaults and Remedies. |
If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer or any of the Guarantors) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Securities then outstanding may declare all of the Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer or any of the Guarantors occurs and is continuing, all the Securities shall be immediately due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees unless it has received indemnity satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain continuing Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
5
| 14. | Trustee Dealings with Issuer. |
The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer as if it were not the Trustee.
| 15. | No Recourse Against Others. |
No stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any successor Person thereof shall have any liability for any obligation under the Securities, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
| 16. | Authentication. |
This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee electronically or manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Security.
| 17. | Abbreviations and Defined Terms. |
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
| 18. | CUSIP Numbers. |
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
| 19. | Governing Law. |
The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Security thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Senior Vice President, Senior Deputy General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), and have acted for the Company in connection with the Company’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange its 5.168% Notes due 2037 (the “New Notes”), issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 18, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”) by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and the Trustee and as further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 29, 2022 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, and guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Guarantors, for any and all of its outstanding 5.168% Notes due 2037 (the “Old Notes”) pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Comcast Corporation

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-2838
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), NBCUniversal Media, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantors”) in connection with the Company’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange its 5.168% Notes due 2037 (the “Notes”, and together with the related guarantees by the Guarantors, collectively, the “New Securities”), issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 18, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”) by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and the Trustee and as further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 29, 2022 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, for any and all of its outstanding 5.168% Notes due 2037 (the “Old Notes”, and together with the related guarantees by the Guarantors, collectively, the “Old Securities”) pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We, as your counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (iv) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (v) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company and the Guarantors that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vi) all representations made by the Company and the Guarantors as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that the New Securities, when the New Securities are executed, authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Old Securities in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Exchange Offer, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
| Comcast Corporation | 2 | July 30, 2026 |
creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability; provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above, (y) any provision of the Indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law by limiting the amount of any Guarantor’s obligation or (z) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that permits holders to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the New Securities to the extent determined to constitute unearned interest.
In connection with the opinions expressed above, we have assumed that (i) the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and such effectiveness shall not have been suspended; (ii) the Indenture and the New Securities are each valid, binding and enforceable agreements of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company and the Guarantors); and (iii) there shall not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the New Securities.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation and Limited Liability Company Laws of the State of Delaware, except that we express no opinion as to (i) any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company or the Guarantors, the Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business or such party or such affiliate or (ii) any law, rule or regulation relating to national security. Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, we have relied, without independent inquiry or investigation, on the opinion of the Senior Deputy General Counsel of Comcast Corporation, filed with the Registration Statement on the date hereof.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our name under the caption “Validity of Securities” in the prospectus, which is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933.
