actual practice by expressly stating that (i)&nbsp;the Chairman of the Board is a
full-time officer (i.e. as opposed to a Non-Executive Chairman), and (ii)
&#147;Chief Financial Officer&#148; is a title of an officer, as well as a descriptive
noun that describes a set of corporate responsibilities. In addition, the
Registrant has a &#147;Chief Executive Officer&#148; but not a &#147;President&#148; and because
the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation says that the &#147;President&#148; has
certain authority, the changes make clear the &#147;Chief Executive Officer&#148; is

Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As of April 22, 2009, Scott W. Seaton was appointed to the Board of Directors of Mediacom
Communications Corporation (the "Registrant"). Mr. Seaton will serve on the Board's Audit
Committee.
From 2002 to 2009, Mr. Seaton was a Managing Director in the Technology, Media and
Telecommunications investment banking group of Bank of America. Prior to that time Mr. Seaton was a
Managing Director in the investment banking department of Credit Suisse First Boston since 1996.
Bank of America and Credit Suisse First Boston or their affiliates have in the past engaged in
transactions with and performed services for the Registrant and its affiliates in the ordinary
course of business, including commercial banking, financial advisory and investment banking
services.
A copy of the press release announcing this appointment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this
report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 21, 2009, the Registrant's Board of Directors approved amendments to the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Restated Bylaws"). The effective date of these amendments was
April 21, 2009.
The following is a summary of the major substantive differences between the previous Bylaws
and the Restated Bylaws. (Article and Section references are to the Restated By-Laws.)
Article I, Section 2: Who can call Special Meetings of Stockholders
Previous Bylaws
Special Meetings could be called by:
•
the Board of Directors;
•
the Chief Executive Officer;
or
•
the Secretary upon written
request of a the holders of a
majority of the voting power.
Restated Bylaws
Special Meetings can be called by:
•
the Board of Directors;
•
the Chairman of the Board; or
•
the President.
Board of Directors determines the time, date
and place for the special meeting.
Reason for Change:
Conform provision to Article 8(d) of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, which does not
provide for special meetings to be called by stockholders or the Chief Executive Officer.
Article 1, Section 9: Voting
Previous Bylaws
Provided that, among other things,
every stockholder is entitled to one
vote for every share owned by such
person.
Restated Bylaws
Same, except deleted the provision
that every stockholder is entitled
to one vote for every share owned by
such person.
Reason for Change:
Conform the provision to the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, which
creates Class B Common Stock with ten votes per share.
1
Article 1, Section 10: Action without a Meeting
Previous Bylaws
Provided that the stockholders can
act by written consent if all
stockholders sign such consent.
Restated Bylaws
Provides that the stockholders can
act by written consent if at least
the minimum number of votes
necessary to approve the matter sign
the consent.
Reason for Change:
Under Delaware law, stockholders having majority voting power can act by
written consent unless the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides
otherwise. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation is silent on this
issue.
Article II, Section 8: Board Committees
Previous Bylaws:
Committees had to be
comprised of three or
more directors.
Restated Bylaws:
Committees are comprised of one or more directors.
Reason for Change:
Gives the Board of Directors greater flexibility in creating committees.
Article II, Section 9: Removal of Directors
Previous Bylaws:
Directors could be removed for cause
by a vote of the stockholders or by
the board of directors.
Restated Bylaws:
Directors may be removed with or
without cause by a vote of the
stockholders.
Reason for Change:
The change is intended to make the provision on removal consistent with Section
141(k) of the Delaware General Corporate Law, which states that a director can
be removed with or without cause by the stockholders.
Article III: Officers
Previous Bylaws:
The list of officer titles in the
previous bylaws did not expressly
include "Chairman of the Board" or
"Chief Financial Officer."
Restated Bylaws:
Adds the offices of Chairman of the
Board and Chief Financial Officer to
the list of expressly denominated
officers. Also makes clear that
"Chief Financial Officer" is a title
of an officer and that the Chief
Executive Officer has the powers of
the "President" referred to in the
Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation.
Reason for Change:
The changes are intended to align the language of the Bylaws more closely with
actual practice by expressly stating that (i) the Chairman of the Board is a
full-time officer (i.e. as opposed to a Non-Executive Chairman), and (ii)
"Chief Financial Officer" is a title of an officer, as well as a descriptive
noun that describes a set of corporate responsibilities. In addition, the
Registrant has a "Chief Executive Officer" but not a "President" and because
the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation says that the "President" has
certain authority, the changes make clear the "Chief Executive Officer" is
intended to have the functions of "President."
2
Article VII: Indemnification
Previous Bylaws:
The Registrant indemnified
directors, officers and others to
the fullest extent provided by law.
Restated Bylaws:
Continues that entitlement, but
introduces specific provisions that
govern certain aspects of the
indemnification right not expressly
covered by the previous Bylaws,
including provisions for the
following:
•
payment or advancement by
the Registrant of the expenses of
officers and directors in defending
a claim for which indemnification
may be available; and
•
the right of directors and
officers to sue the Registrant for
claims for indemnification or
payment of expenses not paid within
sixty days and, if successful, to
also recover the costs of that suit.
Reason for Change:
It is customary for public companies to include the specific right of
indemnification and advancement of legal expenses in the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired — None
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information — None
(c) Shell Company Transactions — None
