(1)

The requisite consents for adopting the proposed amendments to the applicable indenture were received for this series of Old Notes. Consents received in the Exchange Offers (as defined below) and in the previously announced offers by AT&T to purchase for cash (the “Concurrent Cash Tender Offers”) certain series of the Old Notes have been combined.

(2)

References to Time Warner refer to Warner Media, LLC, the successor in interest to Time Warner Inc.

(3)

References to Historic TW refer to Historic TW Inc., the successor in interest to Time Warner Companies Inc.

(4)

Reflects consents received with respect to the applicable series of Old Notes in the Exchange Offers plus, if applicable, consents received with respect to the applicable series of Old Notes in Concurrent Cash Tender Offers.

Solely with respect to the 6.85% Debentures due 2026 and the 8.30% Discount Debentures due 2036, in each case issued by Historic TW (the “Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes”), AT&T also announced it has extended the deadline to revoke consents to amend the indentures governing the Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes (the “Consent Revocation Deadline”) from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2019 to the earlier of (1) the date on which the supplemental indenture reflecting the proposed amendments is executed with respect to applicable series of Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes and (2) 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2019 (such date, with respect to each applicable series of Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes, the “Extended Consent Revocation Deadline”). Holders of Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes will not be given prior notice that a supplemental indenture is being executed with respect to any series of Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes, and such holders will not be able to revoke a consent that was delivered with a validly tendered Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Note after the execution of the supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes.

The Consent Revocation Deadline for all other series of Old Notes (other than the Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes) has not been extended and occurred on 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2019. As a result, consents to amend the indentures governing the Old Notes that have been validly delivered in connection with any Old Notes (other than the Extended Consent Revocation Deadline Notes) may no longer be revoked.

The exchange offers and consent solicitations (together, the “Exchange Offers”) are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in AT&T’s prospectus, dated as of May 13, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of the Registration Statement (as defined below), and, with respect to the U.S. dollar-denominated Old Notes (the “Old U.S. Notes”), the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Exchange Offers will expire at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2019.

A Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-231171) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the issuance of the AT&T Notes was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 2, 2019 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on May 13, 2019) and declared effective by the SEC on May 13, 2019.
