AT&T INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF EARLY TENDERS IN EXCHANGE OFFERS

AND UPSIZE OF EXCHANGE OFFERS

Dallas, Texas, September 15, 2020 — AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) (“AT&T”) announced today the early tender results of its three pools of Exchange Offers and the upsizing of such Exchange Offers, each as detailed below. In connection with this upsizing, AT&T has amended the terms of the Exchange Offers to increase the maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes that will be issued in the Exchange Offers. Except as described in this press release, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers, as described in the offering memorandum, dated August 31, 2020 (the “Exchange Offers”), remain unchanged.

The withdrawal deadline for the Exchange Offers occurred at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 14, 2020. As a result, tendered Old Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by AT&T).

The pricing of the New Notes will occur at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 15, 2020.

The settlement date for Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 14, 2020 is expected to be September 18, 2020. Holders whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange will receive in cash accrued and unpaid interest from the last applicable interest payment date to, but excluding, the date on which the exchange of such Old Notes is settled, and amounts due in lieu of fractional amounts of New Notes.

AT&T has offered to (i) exchange twenty-five series of notes issued by AT&T and certain of AT&T’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Pool 1 Notes”) for a combination of cash and a new series of AT&T’s senior notes to be due in 2053 (the “New 2053 Notes”) as described in the table below. The aggregate principal amount of Pool 1 Notes that are accepted for exchange will be based on the order of acceptance priority for such series as set forth in the table below, and such that the aggregate principal amount of Pool 1 Notes accepted results in the issuance of New 2053 Notes in an amount not exceeding $7,500,000,000 (as increased, the “2053 Notes Cap”);

The aggregate principal amount of each series of Pool 3 Notes that have been validly tendered for exchange and not validly withdrawn, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 14, 2020, based on information provided by the exchange agent to AT&T.


The amount of outstanding Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of September 14, 2020, as reflected in the tables above, satisfied the minimum tender condition in each of the Exchange Offers.

The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 28, 2020, unless extended or earlier terminated by AT&T.

The Exchange Offers are only being made, and the New Notes are only being offered and will only be issued, and copies of the offering documents will only be made available, to a holder of Old Notes who has certified its status as either (a) if in the United States, a “qualified institutional buyer,” or “QIB,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (b) (i) if outside the United States, a person other than a “U.S. person,” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, or a dealer or other professional fiduciary organized, incorporated or (if an individual) residing in the United States holding a discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or a trust) for the benefit or account of a non-“U.S. person,” (ii) if located or resident in any Member State of the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom, persons other than “retail investors” (for these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (1) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (2) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (3) not a “qualified investor” as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended, and consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation and (iii) if located or resident in Canada, a holder located or resident in a province of Canada and an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in National Instrument 45-106Prospectus Exemptions, and, if resident in Ontario, section 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), in each case, that is not an individual unless that person is also a “permitted client” as defined in National Instrument 31-103 - Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations (each, an “Eligible Holder”). Only Eligible Holders who have confirmed they are Eligible Holders via the eligibility certification are authorized to receive or review the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form or to participate in the Exchange Offers. For Canadian Eligible Holders tendering Old Notes, such participation is also conditioned upon the receipt of the Canadian beneficial holder form. There is no separate letter of transmittal in connection with the offering memorandum.

The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Old Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in the Exchange Offers before the deadlines specified herein and in the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form. The deadlines set by each clearing system for the submission and withdrawal of exchange instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form.


This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein. The Exchange Offers are being made solely by the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.

In the United Kingdom, this press release is only being communicated to, and any other documents or materials relating to the Exchange Offers are only being distributed to and are only directed at, (i) persons who are outside the United Kingdom, (ii) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the “Order”) or (iii) high net worth entities, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within Articles 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”).

*

Denotes a series of Old Notes for which the total consideration and exchange consideration will be determined taking into account the par call date, instead of the maturity date, in accordance with standard market practice.

In addition, holders whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange will receive in cash accrued and unpaid interest from the last applicable interest payment date to, but excluding, the date on which the exchange of such Old Notes is settled, and amounts due in lieu of fractional amounts of New Notes.


Based on the amount of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 14, 2020 and in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offers, AT&T expects to accept, on the early settlement date (expected to be September 18, 2020), (i) all of the Pool 1 Notes at Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 23, (ii) all of the Pool 2 Notes at Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 9 and (iii) all of the Pool 3 Notes at Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 6. AT&T expects to accept the 4.800% Global Notes due 2044 (Acceptance Priority Level 24) in Pool 1 Notes subject to a proration factor of approximately 57.57%, 4.35% Global Notes due 2045 (Acceptance Priority Level 10) in Pool 2 Notes subject to a proration factor of approximately 74.15% and 4.500% Global Notes due 2048 (Acceptance Priority Level 7) in Pool 3 Notes subject to a proration factor of approximately 14.47%. AT&T does not expect to accept any Old Notes tendered for exchange in Acceptance Priority Level 25 in Pool 1 Notes. As a result of proration rounding, the 2055 Notes Cap (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) was adjusted to $7,500,001,000 and the 2059 Notes Cap (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) was adjusted to $6,500,001,000. The 2053 Notes Cap (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) remains at $7,500,000,000.

The exchange offers described in this press release (the “Exchange Offers”) are being conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum, as amended by AT&T’s press release, dated as of September 15, 2020.

Only Eligible Holders (as defined below) of Old Notes who validly tendered their Old Notes at or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 14, 2020 (the “Early Participation Date”), and who did not validly withdraw their tenders and whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange, will receive an early participation payment. As of the Early Participation Date the Exchange Offers were oversubscribed and as such no additional Old Notes tendered after the Early Participation Date will be accepted.

The interest rate on the New 2053 Notes will be 3.500%, the interest rate on the New 2055 Notes will be 3.550%, and the interest rate on the New 2059 Notes will be 3.650%. The yield on the New 2053 Notes will be 3.530%, and the New Issue Price of the New 2053 Notes will be $994.18, which has been determined by reference to the bid-side yield on the 1.25% U.S. Treasury Notes due May 15, 2050, as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on September 15, 2020 (such date and time, the “Pricing Time”), which was 1.430%, plus 2.10%. The yield on the New 2055 Notes will be 3.580%, and the New Issue Price of the New 2055 Notes will be $994.04, which has been determined by reference to the bid-side yield on the 1.25% U.S. Treasury Notes due May 15, 2050, as of the Pricing Time, which was 1.430%, plus 2.15%. The yield on the New 2059 Notes will be 3.680%, and the New Issue Price of the New 2059 Notes will be $993.82, which has been determined by reference to the bid-side yield on the 1.25% U.S. Treasury Notes due May 15, 2050, as of the Pricing Time, which was 1.430%, plus 2.25%.


The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 28, 2020, unless extended or earlier terminated by AT&T (the “Expiration Date”). The withdrawal deadline for the Exchange Offers occurred at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 14, 2020. As a result, tendered Old Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by AT&T).

The Exchange Offers are only being made, and the New Notes are only being offered and will only be issued, and copies of the offering documents will only be made available, to a holder of Old Notes who has certified its status as either (a) if in the United States, a “qualified institutional buyer,” or “QIB,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (b) (i) if outside the United States, a person other than a “U.S. person,” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, or a dealer or other professional fiduciary organized, incorporated or (if an individual) residing in the United States holding a discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or a trust) for the benefit or account of a non-“U.S. person,” (ii) if located or resident in any Member State of the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom, persons other than “retail investors” (for these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (1) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (2) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (3) not a “qualified investor” as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended, and consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation and (iii) if located or resident in Canada, a holder located or resident in a province of Canada and an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in National Instrument 45-106Prospectus Exemptions, and, if resident in Ontario, section 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), in each case, that is not an individual unless that person is also a “permitted client” as defined in National Instrument 31-103 - Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations (each, an “Eligible Holder”). Only Eligible Holders who have confirmed they are Eligible Holders via the eligibility certification are authorized to receive or review the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form or to participate in the Exchange Offers. For Canadian Eligible Holders tendering Old Notes, such participation is also conditioned upon the receipt of the Canadian beneficial holder form. There is no separate letter of transmittal in connection with the offering memorandum.


The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Old Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in the Exchange Offers before the deadlines specified herein and in the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form. The deadlines set by each clearing system for the submission and withdrawal of exchange instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form.

This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein. The Exchange Offers are being made solely by the offering memorandum, eligibility certification and Canadian beneficial holder form and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.

In the United Kingdom, this press release is only being communicated to, and any other documents or materials relating to the Exchange Offers are only being distributed to and are only directed at, (i) persons who are outside the United Kingdom, (ii) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the “Order”) or (iii) high net worth entities, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within Articles 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). Any investment or investment activity to which this announcement relates is available only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this announcement or any of its contents.
