International Section 214 Notification of Pro Forma Transfer of Control Attachment 1 ATTACHMENT 1 FOR THE PRO FORMA TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF INTERNATIONAL SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATION This filing notifies the Commission pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of the Commission’s rules1 of the pro forma transfer of control of an international Section 214 authorization as a result of an internal corporate reorganization of AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) that occurred on December 31, 2015, which temporarily affected the intermediate ownership structure of international Section 214 holder, Cricket Communications, LLC (“Cricket Communications”). The restructuring did not change the ultimate ownership or control of the international Section 214 authorization; AT&T continues to control the authorization at issue. Accordingly, the transfer of control was pro forma in nature. Answer to Question 10 – Section 63.18(c)-(d): Because ultimate ownership of this international Section 214 authorization will not change as a result of this transaction, AT&T has been designated as both the transferor and the transferee for the instant pro forma transfer notification.
