Cox Enterprises To Appoint John M. Dyer Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Robert C. O’Leary to Retire and Continue Serving on Cox Enterprises Board

Cox Enterprises, Inc. announced today that John M. Dyer, 53, has been named executive vice president and will assume the role of executive vice president and chief financial officer in the summer of 2008. Dyer will succeed Robert C. O’Leary, who will continue serving on the Cox Enterprises board of directors.

Upon assuming his new role, Dyer will be responsible for the company’s treasury, financial reporting and control, tax, audit, information technology, risk management, real estate and business development functions.

“John has a terrific background in both finance and operations and will play a key role as we make strategic decisions to continue Cox Enterprises’ long established record of growth and quality,” said Jimmy W. Hayes, president and chief operating officer of Cox Enterprises. “He will make a great addition to our senior leadership team.”

Most recently, Dyer served as senior vice president and chief financial officer at Cox Communications, Inc., a position he’s held since 2005. Prior to that, Dyer served as senior vice president of operations for Cox Communications’ Western Division, which included operations in California, Arizona and Las Vegas, serving more than two million customers. He was in charge of the company’s Central Division operations from 1999 to 2001. In 1998, he became senior vice president of mergers and acquisitions, a position in which he executed several strategic acquisitions. Dyer also initiated and closed many system trades that substantially furthered Cox’s strategy of concentrating its operations in tightly clustered urban and suburban markets.

Dyer joined Cox Enterprises in 1977 as internal auditor and later held a series of financial and operational positions at Cox Communications. Dyer left Cox briefly in 1990 to join Times Mirror Cable as regional vice president of operations and vice president of operations but returned to Cox in 1995 as vice president of financial planning and analysis when Cox acquired Times Mirror Cable.

A graduate of the State University of West Georgia with a BBA in accounting, Dyer also holds an MBA from Georgia State University. He has served on the board of directors for the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing and is currently a member of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association Convention Committee.

“Not only is Bob O’Leary a great guy, but he has been a great business leader and we appreciate everything he’s done for us in his 25 years with the company. We look forward to his continued involvement as a member of our board,” said James C. Kennedy, chairman and chief executive officer of Cox Enterprises.
