AT&T Inc. and Its Affiliates
If granted, this proposed exemption would amend PTE 2014-06. PTE 2014-06 permitted AT&T to, among other things, contribute 320 million Series A Cumulative Preferred Membership Interests of AT&T Mobility II LLC (the Preferred Interests) to the SBC Master Pension Trust (the Trust), which is the trust that holds the assets of the AT&T Pension Benefit Plan (the Plan). Following the Trust’s acquisition of the Preferred Interests, AT&T Inc. negotiated with the Plan’s Independent Fiduciary to modify certain terms and provisions relevant to the Plan’s continued holding and disposition of the Preferred Interests, to enhance the transferability of the Preferred Interests (the Modifications). The Independent Fiduciary approved the Modifications as being beneficial to the Plan, after requesting that AT&T Inc. make an additional $80 million contribution to the Plan, which AT&T Inc. did. Sections I, II and III of PTE 2014-06 would be in effect between September 9, 2013, to October 14, 2018; and Sections IV, V, VI, and VII of PTE 2014-06, which are added by this amendment, would be in effect between October 15, 2018, to April 5, 2023.
