                       NOTIFICATION OF PRO FORMA TRANSACTION
                           AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

        Pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of the Commission’s rules,1 AT&T Teleholdings, Inc.
(“Teleholdings”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T Inc., notifies the Federal
Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) of the pro forma transfer of control of
the international Section 214 authorizations held by indirect subsidiaries (collectively, “AT&T
Licensees”) of AT&T Mobility LLC (“Mobility”). The pro forma transfer of control occurred as
the result of an internal corporate reorganization which closed on January 1, 2019.2 Specifically,
the reorganization inserted a new holding company into Mobility’s ownership structure, diluting
SBC Long Distance, LLC’s (“SBC”) ownership interest in Mobility from approximately 60% to
under 50%. These corporate changes constituted a non-substantial pro forma transfer of control
because the ultimate ownership and control of both Mobility and its subsidiaries, the AT&T
Licensees, is exactly the same before and after the corporate reorganization.

Answer to Question 10 - Section 63.18(c)-(d):

       Because ultimate ownership of these international Section 214 authorizations will not
change as a result of this transaction, Teleholdings has been designated as both the Transferor
and the Transferee for the instant pro forma transfer notifications.

Answer to Question 13:

       This filing notifies the Commission, pursuant to Section 63.24(f) of its rules,3 of the pro
forma transfer of control of the international Section 214 authorizations held by the AT&T

       47 C.F.R. § 63.24(f).

                                                                                        Attachments 1-2
                                                                                                Page 3

Licensees as part of an internal corporate reorganization. This transaction closed on January 1,
2019. Organization charts showing the pre- and post-transaction corporate structure are attached.

        This transfer of control does not change the ultimate ownership or control of the
international Section 214 authorizations, as AT&T continued to control the authorizations before
and after the transaction. It is therefore pro forma in nature. The Commission has previously
stated that “[r]egulatory review of [pro forma] transactions yields no significant public interest
benefits, but may delay or hinder transactions that could provide substantial financial,
operational, or administrative benefits for carriers.”4 Therefore, “where no substantial change in
control will result from the transfer,” Commission acceptance of notifications such as these is
“deemed presumptively in the public interest.”5
