(1) Hypothetical total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of notes listed above other than the June 2021 Floating Rate Notes (as defined below) validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase, based upon a hypothetical reference yield (as set forth in the Offer to Purchase) determined as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 24, 2020; excludes the applicable accrued coupon payment (as set forth in the Offer to Purchase); and assumes a settlement date of August 5, 2020 for such series of notes.

(3) The 7.85% Debentures due January 15, 2022 are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by AT&T, with the full amount payable by specified subsidiaries so long as all of the outstanding shares of stock of the subsidiary are owned, directly or indirectly, by AT&T. In the event AT&T sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any percentage of its stock ownership of a subsidiary and such subsidiary is no longer wholly-owned, then the guarantee will expire immediately and AT&T will be released immediately from any and all of its obligations.

The maximum aggregate principal amount of the July 2021 Floating Rate Notes that will be accepted in the Capped Tender Offers is $1,500,000,000 less the aggregate principal amount of the June 2021 Floating Rate Notes validly tendered and accepted in the Any and All Offers (the “2021 Notes Cap”). The maximum aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Floating Rate Notes that will be accepted in the Capped Tender Offers is $2,000,000,000 less the aggregate principal amount of (i) AT&T’s 7.570% Global Notes due 2024, (ii) Historic TW Inc.’s 7.57% Debentures due 2024, (iii) AT&T’s 3.800% Global Notes due 2024, (iv) AT&T’s 3.900% Global Notes due 2024, (v) AT&T’s 3.550% Global Notes due 2024 and (vi) Warner Media, LLC’s 3.55% Notes due 2024, collectively, that is validly tendered and accepted in the Any and All Offers (the “2024 Notes Cap”).

If any Maximum Tender Amount is reached for a given series of notes tendered in the Capped Tender Offers based on the amount tendered in the corresponding Any and All Offers, such notes tendered in the Capped Tender Offers will not be accepted unless we choose to increase such Maximum Tender Amount, in our sole and absolute discretion.

Only holders of notes submitted in the Capped Tender Offers who validly tender their notes at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the early tender deadline of August 7, 2020, subject to any extension by AT&T, who do not validly withdraw their tenders and whose notes are accepted for purchase, will receive the applicable early tender premium set forth in the table above.

Holders of notes submitted in the Capped Tender Offers tendered following the early tender deadline, but at or prior to the expiration date for the Capped Tender Offers, subject to the tender in the applicable minimum denominations, and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable capped tender consideration. The applicable capped tender consideration will equal the applicable total consideration for notes tendered in the Capped Tender Offers minus the applicable early tender premium.

The Capped Tender Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2020 unless extended or earlier terminated by AT&T. Tenders of notes submitted in the Capped Tender Offers at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2020, subject to any extension by AT&T, but thereafter will be irrevocable, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by AT&T).

The early settlement date with respect to notes submitted in the Capped Tender Offers validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the early tender deadline will be promptly following the early tender deadline and is expected to be August 12, 2020. The final settlement date with respect to notes submitted in the Capped Tender Offers validly tendered following the early tender deadline, but at or prior to the expiration date for the Capped Tender Offers, will be promptly following such expiration date and is expected to be August 26, 2020 (assuming the Maximum Tender Amounts of such notes are not purchased on the early settlement date).

The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of a series of notes listed above, other than the Capped Floating Rate Notes, that is validly tendered and accepted for purchase, and not validly withdrawn (and subject to the applicable minimum denominations), will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above and in the Offer to Purchase. The total consideration payable for each $1,000 principal amount of such notes validly tendered at or prior to the early tender deadline and accepted for purchase includes an early tender premium of $30. The total consideration for (A) the July 2021 Floating Rate Notes will be $1,008.75 payable per $1,000 principal amount of the July 2021 Floating Rate Notes (inclusive of an early tender premium of $30) and (B) the 2024 Floating Rate Notes will be $1,020.00 payable per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Floating Rate Notes (inclusive of an early tender premium of $30), in each case validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, at or prior to the early tender deadline.

Notes of a series may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of notes of such series validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Capped Tender Offers would cause the applicable Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded. Furthermore, if the Capped Tender Offers are fully subscribed as of the early tender deadline, holders who validly tender notes following the early tender deadline but at or prior to the expiration date for the Capped Tender Offers will not have any of their notes accepted for purchase.

If proration of a series of tendered notes submitted in the Capped Tender Offers is required, AT&T will determine the applicable proration factor as soon as practicable after the early tender deadline or the expiration date for the Capped Tender Offers, as the case may be, and will announce the results of proration by press release.  Additional details concerning proration, if applicable, can be found in the Offer to Purchase.
