Hart-Scott-Rodino Waiting Period Expires for Comcast/AT&T Broadband Combination

The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (the HSR Act) applicable to the combination of Comcast Corporation and AT&T Broadband has expired. At this time, the HSR Act no longer prohibits the parties from closing the proposed transaction. To the extent that the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice requests any additional information from the parties concerning the transaction, the parties expect to continue to cooperate. The parties are still awaiting certain other regulatory approvals and consents and continue to expect that the transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2002.
