Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 30, 2010, New Cingular Wireless Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the registrant AT&T Inc. ("AT&T") provided irrevocable notice to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to redeem all the outstanding 7.875% Notes due March 1, 2011 with CUSIP number 00209AAE6, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and Supplemental Indentures with the Trustee.
The redemption date will be December 31, 2010, and the redemption amount will be determined on December 28, 2010. However, AT&T expects the aggregate cash payment to be approximately $3.115 billion, including principal of approximately $3.0 billion, accrued interest of approximately $79 million, and a call premium of approximately $36 million. AT&T expects this redemption to result in a pre-tax charge of approximately $20 million to AT&T’s fourth-quarter 2010 financial results. The redemption of this debt is expected to be funded by cash on hand and commercial paper.
