Update - Adelphia Announces Effective Date of Plan of Reorganization

Information on Effective Date Distributions

Quest Turnaround Advisors, L.L.C. Assumes Plan Administrator Duties

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Adelphia Communications Corporation announced today that the Effective Date of its First Modified Fifth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Adelphia Communications Corporation and Certain Affiliated Debtors, dated as of January 3, 2007, as Confirmed, occurred today, February 13, 2007.

Included as Exhibit A to this Press Release is a chart summarizing the initial distributions of cash, shares of Time Warner Cable Class A Common Stock and CVV Interests being made to certain classes of Claims. Actual distributions may vary due to rounding. In order to calculate the number of initial shares being distributed, a deemed value of $34.63 per share of Time Warner Cable Class A Common Stock was used. The chart in Exhibit A also contains an estimate of the number of additional shares of TWC Class A Common Stock distributable in connection with the True Up Mechanism contained in the Plan at three sample assumed potential values for the TWC Class A Common Stock. The chart in Exhibit A does not reflect additional distributions that may be made over time as a result of the release of escrows, reserves and holdbacks. The amount and timing of such distributions pursuant to the True Up Mechanism and as a result of the release of the escrows, reserves and holdbacks are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and numerous other conditions and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of Adelphia and its subsidiaries.

The CVV Interests are units in a trust pursuing certain claims against third party lenders, accountants and other parties. The chart in Exhibit A also contains an estimate of the aggregate number of each class of CVV Interests being issued, excluding additional CVV Interests that may be issued in respect of Claims that are disputed as of the Effective Date.

Included as Exhibit B to this Press Release is a chart summarizing the initial distributions being made to certain classes of Equity Interests under the Plan.

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, each Debtor's board of directors was deemed removed and Quest Turnaround Advisors, L.L.C. and its designees assumed the responsibility for, among other things, managing the Debtors and implementing the Plan.

The Company also announced that today it intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Creditor inquiries regarding distributions under the Plan should be directed to creditor.inquiries@adelphia.com.

Exhibits A and B summarizing the initial distributions being made to certain classes of Claims and Equity interests under the Plan are available at www.adelphiarestructuring.com under the "important documents" section.
