Item 8.01 Other Events
Throughout this document, AT&T Inc. is referred to as “AT&T.” On August 1, 2011, AT&T announced that it would tender all of its shares of Telefonos de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (Telmex), following an announcement by the Board of Directors of América Móvil, S.A. de C.V. (América Móvil) approving a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares of Telmex at $10.50 Mexican pesos per share (payable in cash), that are not already owned by América Móvil. This offer would value AT&T's holdings at approximately $1.37 billion (using August 1, 2011 exchange rate). Assuming the tender offer is launched and it is completed, AT&T expects to report a gain of one to three cents per share in respect of the sale of AT&T’s Telmex shares.
