Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, holders who validly tender at or prior to the Expiration Date and who do not validly withdraw Notes at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline, subject in each case to the tender in the applicable minimum denominations, and whose Notes are accepted for purchase by AT&T, will receive the applicable Total Consideration specified below.

The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of a series of Notes that is validly tendered and accepted for purchase, and not validly withdrawn (and subject to the applicable minimum denominations), will be determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread specified in the Offer to Purchase over the applicable reference yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security.

In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date. Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted. No further interest will be paid to the holders who tender such Notes, including if a record date for an interest payment on such Notes has passed before the Settlement Date.

AT&T has agreed to pay a fee equal to $1.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers to soliciting registered brokers and dealers in the United States that are appropriately designated by their clients to receive this fee; provided that such fee will only be paid with respect to the first $500,000 aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes tendered by an individual holder. Such soliciting broker fee will be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase.
