  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
  June&nbsp;4, 2008, Cablevision Systems Corporation&#160; (&#147;Cablevision&#148;), on the determination of the
  Special Litigation Committee, entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of
  Settlement (the &#147;Settlement Agreement&#148;) with the plaintiffs and most of the
  defendants of derivative lawsuits (and two combined derivative and class action
  lawsuits) relating to Cablevision&#146;s past stock option and stock appreciation
  rights (&#147;SARs&#148;) grants that were filed in state and U.S. Federal courts (the &#147;Options
  Litigation&#148;).&#160; Upon the Court&#146;s final
  approval, this Settlement Agreement will result in the dismissal of all state
  and federal derivative claims against the settling defendants.</font></p>

  <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On August&nbsp;8, 2006, Cablevision announced that, as a result of a
  voluntary review, it had determined that the grant date and exercise price
  assigned to a number of its stock options and SARs during the 1997-2002 period
  did not correspond to the actual grant date and the fair market value of
  Cablevision&#146;s common stock on the actual grant date.&#160; The Options Litigation followed that
  announcement. These lawsuits named Cablevision as a nominal defendant and named
  as defendants, among others, certain present and former members of the
  Cablevision board of directors and certain present and former executive
  officers of Cablevision.</font></p>

  <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October&nbsp;27, 2006, the board of directors of Cablevision
  appointed Grover C. Brown and Zachary W. Carter as a newly formed Special
  Litigation Committee of the Board to consider and determine whether or not
  prosecution of the claims asserted in the Options Litigation is in the best
  interest of Cablevision and its shareholders and what action Cablevision should
  take with respect to the claims, including, without limitation, whether to
  pursue such claims, whether to seek an extrajudicial resolution of such claims
  or whether to seek one or more orders from appropriate courts to dismiss or
  stay the Options Litigation.</font></p>

  <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Special Litigation Committee concluded that the Settlement
  Agreement reached on June&nbsp;4, 2008 is in the best interests of Cablevision
  and its stockholders.&#160; It is believed, by
  all parties involved in the agreement, that this proposed settlement will avoid
  the need for potentially costly and lengthy court proceedings and will provide
  certainty and closure for Cablevision and its shareholders on this matter.</font></p>

  <p style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the Settlement Agreement, the settling defendants will provide to
  Cablevision aggregate consideration valued at approximately $24.4 million, in
  the form of a combination of cash payments, repricing the exercise price of
  outstanding options and SARs, return of outstanding common stock, restricted
  stock units, options and SARs (including rights to the $10&nbsp;special
  dividend paid by Cablevision in 2006), and surrender of potential contractual
  claims (&#147;Consideration&#148;).&#160; This

  Item 1.01
  Entry Into a Material Definitive
  Agreement
  .
  On
  June 4, 2008, Cablevision Systems Corporation  ("Cablevision"), on the determination of the
  Special Litigation Committee, entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of
  Settlement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the plaintiffs and most of the
  defendants of derivative lawsuits (and two combined derivative and class action
  lawsuits) relating to Cablevision's past stock option and stock appreciation
  rights ("SARs") grants that were filed in state and U.S. Federal courts (the "Options
  Litigation").  Upon the Court's final
  approval, this Settlement Agreement will result in the dismissal of all state
  and federal derivative claims against the settling defendants.
  On August 8, 2006, Cablevision announced that, as a result of a
  voluntary review, it had determined that the grant date and exercise price
  assigned to a number of its stock options and SARs during the 1997-2002 period
  did not correspond to the actual grant date and the fair market value of
  Cablevision's common stock on the actual grant date.  The Options Litigation followed that
  announcement. These lawsuits named Cablevision as a nominal defendant and named
  as defendants, among others, certain present and former members of the
  Cablevision board of directors and certain present and former executive
  officers of Cablevision.
  On October 27, 2006, the board of directors of Cablevision
  appointed Grover C. Brown and Zachary W. Carter as a newly formed Special
  Litigation Committee of the Board to consider and determine whether or not
  prosecution of the claims asserted in the Options Litigation is in the best
  interest of Cablevision and its shareholders and what action Cablevision should
  take with respect to the claims, including, without limitation, whether to
  pursue such claims, whether to seek an extrajudicial resolution of such claims
  or whether to seek one or more orders from appropriate courts to dismiss or
  stay the Options Litigation.
  2
  The Special Litigation Committee concluded that the Settlement
  Agreement reached on June 4, 2008 is in the best interests of Cablevision
  and its stockholders.  It is believed, by
  all parties involved in the agreement, that this proposed settlement will avoid
  the need for potentially costly and lengthy court proceedings and will provide
  certainty and closure for Cablevision and its shareholders on this matter.
  Under the Settlement Agreement, the settling defendants will provide to
  Cablevision aggregate consideration valued at approximately $24.4 million, in
  the form of a combination of cash payments, repricing the exercise price of
  outstanding options and SARs, return of outstanding common stock, restricted
  stock units, options and SARs (including rights to the $10 special
  dividend paid by Cablevision in 2006), and surrender of potential contractual
  claims ("Consideration").  This
  settlement consideration is being provided solely to facilitate the
  settlement.  None of the current and
  former officers, directors or other defendants who entered into the Settlement
  Agreement has acknowledged any liability or wrongdoing.  In addition, Cablevision's director and
  officer liability insurer has agreed to contribute $10 million.  Plaintiffs' counsel will seek an award of
  fees and expenses to be paid out of the settlement proceeds in an amount not to
  exceed $7.116 million.
  As part of the Settlement Agreement, Cablevision will also adopt a
  number of corporate governance changes relating to stock-based compensation
  awards that are intended to supplement and further enhance Cablevision's
  compensation procedures.  The Company is
  informed by the Special Litigation Committee that it has confidence that these
  processes, as well as the current executives, officers and directors charged
  with their execution, are fully capable of ensuring compliance with all rules,
  regulations and statutes relating to the grant of stock options.
  The Consideration from the settling defendants is set forth in the
  attached Settlement Stipulation.
  3
  Under the Settlement Agreement, which remains subject to court
  approvals, the claims against the forgoing settling defendants will be
  released.
