AT&T Closes AT&T Wireless Offering

$10.6 Billion Is Raised In Largest Initial Offering in U.S. History

New York -- AT&T today announced the closing of the sale of 360 million shares of AT&T Wireless Group tracking stock, raising more than $10.6 billion. AT&T Wireless, which had an initial offering price of $29.50 under the ticker symbol of AWE, closed yesterday at $35.00.

The shares sold represent 15.6 percent of AT&T's economic interest in the AT&T Wireless Group. AT&T plans to distribute its remaining economic interest in the AT&T Wireless Group in a timely manner. The disposition will include a stock dividend to holders of AT&T common stock for at least a portion of the interest, but may also include an exchange offer, a further sale of AT&T Wireless, or a combination of these alternatives. AT&T's Board of Directors will determine the method and timing of the disposition based on market conditions.........
