AT&T Inc. Announces Pricing of Tenders in Offers to Purchase for Certain Series of Notes


AT&T (News - Alert) Inc.* (NYSE: T) ("AT&T") announced today the pricing for each series of notes listed in the table below (collectively, the "Notes") issued by Warner Media, LLC or Historic TW Inc. in connection with AT&T's previously announced offers to purchase for cash and consent solicitations (together, the "Offers").

The table below sets forth the Total Consideration for each series of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on May 15, 2019 (the "Early Tender Date"). Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date (defined below) will not be entitled to receive the early tender payment (the "Early Tender Payment") of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and will therefore be entitled to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted, the "Tender Offer Consideration" for such series, which is equal to the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment. The reference yields listed in the table below are based on the bid-side price of the applicable reference U.S. treasury security listed in the table below as displayed on Bloomberg (News - Alert) reference page PX1 at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 16, 2019, as described in the Offer to Purchase (defined below).
