On April 27, 2018 Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing revolving credit agreement, dated as of May 26, 2016, among Comcast, the financial institutions party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended by the amendment, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment provides for, among other things, changes to the conditions to borrowings under the Credit Agreement in a manner customary for U.K. public acquisition financings, in addition to changes to certain financial covenant calculations in connection with acquisitions.
In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, certain of the lenders and the other parties to the Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking, investment banking, financial advisory or other services with Comcast and its affiliates for which they have in the past and/or may in the future receive customary compensation and expense reimbursement.
The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
