Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Policy

Last Revised: February 23, 2010
Purpose:
To provide a guideline for the ownership of Comcast Corporation Common Stock by non-employee directors of the Company.
Policy Statement:
It is the Company's policy to require that all non-employee directors of Comcast Corporation maintain a significant ownership position in Comcast Corporation publicly traded Common Stock, as defined in the guideline set forth herein.

I. Ownership Guideline

Non-employee directors will be required to own Comcast Corporation Common Stock equal in value to at least five (5) times a director’s annual retainer.

II. Ownership Defined

Ownership (for purposes of meeting the guideline) will be determined by summing the following amounts:

i.100% of the market value of stock owned (1) directly by the non-employee director or his or her spouse, (2) jointly by the non-employee director and his or her spouse and/or his or her children, and (3) indirectly by a trust for the benefit of the non-employee director, his or her spouse and/or his or her minor children
ii. 100% of the market value of the non-employee director's Deferred Stock Units under the Company's Deferred Stock Option Plan.
iii. 60% of the market value of the non-employee director's Stock Fund under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan.
iv. 60% of the difference between the market price and the exercise price of the non-employee director's vested stock options under the Company's Stock Option Plans. (Note: A sale of a call covered by shares or vested options will be deemed a sale of the underlying shares or options and will therefore reduce the number of owned shares or vested options for purposes of this Policy).
v. 60% of the market value of stock vested and deferred under the Company's Restricted Stock Plan.

III. Valuation Date

Ownership as of any date for purposes of determining compliance with the guideline, will be calculated based on the closing price of the applicable class of stock as of the trading date prior to the date of determination.

IV. Grace Period

A non-employee director will be allowed a grace period to meet the guideline in full, from the date of initial election or appointment to the Board of Directors through the fifth December 31st thereafter, as set forth below (the "Grace Period"). For non-employee directors serving as of the original effective date of this Policy, November 1, 2003 shall be deemed to be such date. The Grace Period may be extended, and the required minimum holdings percentage may be reduced, at the discretion of the Governance and Directors Nominating Committee.

Non-employee directors may satisfy the guideline in part over the course of the Grace Period, as follows:

December 31st Following Initial Election or Appointment Required Minimum Holdings as a Percent of Guideline
1st 20%
2nd 40%
3rd 60%
4th 80%
5th and Thereafter 100%

V. Compliance

A non-employee director will annually certify whether or not he or she is in compliance with this Policy both (i) as of December 31 each year and (ii) as of each date (if any) during each year on which the non-employee director sold or otherwise disposed of stock. Certifications will be provided to the Cable Division's Vice President - Compensation and Benefits using the Comcast Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Policy Compliance Certification Form. A non-employee director is not required to purchase or otherwise acquire shares to come in to compliance with this Policy. The Governance and Directors Nominating Committee may determine that a non-employee director shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Policy in cases where any non-compliance occurs as a result: (a) solely or primarily of a decline of the market price of the stock; (b) of transactions made pursuant to hardship exceptions; (c) of a bona fide gift; and/or (d) of a diversification election made with respect to stock deferred under the Company’s Restricted Stock Plan.

VI. Non-Compliance

A non-employee director will not be permitted to sell stock until his or her holdings meet the applicable minimum requirement, and then only to the extent that the director’s remaining holdings do not fall below the applicable minimum requirement. Bona fide gifts and diversification elections made with respect to stock deferred under the Company’s Restricted Stock Plan shall not be deemed to be dispositions hereunder.

VII. Hardship Provision

Hardship exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Chair of the Governance and Directors Nominating Committee.

VIII. Administration and Interpretation

The Governance and Directors Nominating Committee reserves the right to interpret, change, amend, modify or terminate this Policy at any time.
