<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:18.35pt;">As previously announced, the Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of Cable One, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) appointed Steven S. Cochran as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company in August 2018 and, in connection with his hiring and appointment, Mr. Cochran received a new-hire grant of 1,065 time-based restricted shares, representing a value of approximately $785,000 based on the closing price of the Company&rsquo;s common stock on Mr. Cochran&rsquo;s hire date (the &ldquo;Initial RSAs&rdquo;). The Initial RSAs were granted on October 1, 2018 and are scheduled to vest on January 3, 2021 (generally subject to Mr. Cochran&rsquo;s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date). The value of the Initial RSAs was calculated based on the applicable stock ownership guideline for Mr. Cochran, a multiple of 3.0 times base salary, or $975,000, which amount was then prorated based on the vesting date of the award.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:18.35pt;">On September 30, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an additional time-based restricted stock award to Mr. Cochran of 54 shares, representing a grant date fair value of approximately $47,000 (the &ldquo;Additional RSAs&rdquo;). The Additional RSAs were also granted on October 1, 2018 and will vest on October 1, 2021 (generally subject to Mr. Cochran&rsquo;s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date). The value of the Additional RSAs reflects the difference between Mr. Cochran&rsquo;s stock ownership guideline multiple of 3.0 times base salary and the grant date fair value of the Initial RSAs. The aggregate grant date fair value of the Initial RSAs and the Additional RSAs was $974,727, which equals approximately 3.0 times Mr. Cochran&rsquo;s base salary (i.e., the applicable multiple of base salary under the Company&rsquo;s stock ownership guidelines).</p>

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously announced, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Cable One, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Steven S. Cochran as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company in August 2018 and, in connection with his hiring and appointment, Mr. Cochran received a new-hire grant of 1,065 time-based restricted shares, representing a value of approximately $785,000 based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on Mr. Cochran's hire date (the "Initial RSAs"). The Initial RSAs were granted on October 1, 2018 and are scheduled to vest on January 3, 2021 (generally subject to Mr. Cochran's continued employment with the Company through the vesting date). The value of the Initial RSAs was calculated based on the applicable stock ownership guideline for Mr. Cochran, a multiple of 3.0 times base salary, or $975,000, which amount was then prorated based on the vesting date of the award.
On September 30, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an additional time-based restricted stock award to Mr. Cochran of 54 shares, representing a grant date fair value of approximately $47,000 (the "Additional RSAs"). The Additional RSAs were also granted on October 1, 2018 and will vest on October 1, 2021 (generally subject to Mr. Cochran's continued employment with the Company through the vesting date). The value of the Additional RSAs reflects the difference between Mr. Cochran's stock ownership guideline multiple of 3.0 times base salary and the grant date fair value of the Initial RSAs. The aggregate grant date fair value of the Initial RSAs and the Additional RSAs was $974,727, which equals approximately 3.0 times Mr. Cochran's base salary (i.e., the applicable multiple of base salary under the Company's stock ownership guidelines).
