Compensation of Directors

The compensation of Directors is determined by the Board in conjunction with recommendations made by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is composed entirely of independent Directors. None of our employees serve on this Committee. The Committee's current members are August A. Busch III (Chairman), James P. Kelly, John B. McCoy, Mary S. Metz, S. Donley Ritchey, and Joyce M. Roche. Under its charter (available on our web site at www.att.com), the Committee periodically, and at least every two years, reviews the compensation and benefits provided to Directors for their service, and makes recommendations to the Board for changes. This includes not only Director retainers and fees, but also Director compensation and benefit plans.

The Committee's charter authorizes the Committee to employ independent compensation and other consultants to assist in fulfilling its duties. The Committee may also form and delegate authority to subcommittees. From time to time, the Committee engages CCA Strategies LLC, an employee benefits

and compensation consulting firm (which also acts as a consultant to the Human Resources Committee on executive compensation matters), to provide the Committee with information regarding director compensation paid by companies principally in the Fortune 50, Fortune 100 and a special comparator group used by the Human Resources Committee. In reviewing Director compensation, the Committee may request CCA Strategies to provide a study of director compensation disclosed in proxy statements of companies in the comparison groups. After reviewing the study, the Committee may make recommendations to the Board for modifying the compensation of Directors. In addition, from time to time, the Chief Executive Officer may make recommendations to the Committee or the Board about types and amounts of appropriate compensation and benefits for directors.

Directors who are also ours or our subsidiaries' employees receive no separate compensation for serving as Directors or as members of Board committees. Directors who are not ours or our subsidiaries' employees currently receive an annual retainer of $85,000 and $2,000 for each Board meeting or review session attended. Committee members receive $1,700 for each committee meeting attended, except that members of the Audit and Human Resources Committees receive $2,000 for each meeting attended in person. The Chairperson of each committee receives an additional annual retainer of $5,000, except for the Chairpersons of the Audit and Human Resources Committees, each of whom receives an additional annual retainer of $20,000. The Lead Director also receives an additional annual retainer of $20,000.

Directors may choose to take their retainer in the form of our common stock or cash. Directors may also choose to defer the receipt of their fees and all or part of their retainers into either deferred stock units or into a cash deferral account. Each deferred stock unit is equivalent to a share of common stock and earns dividend equivalents in the form of additional deferred stock units. Directors purchase deferred stock units at the fair market value of AT&T common stock. Deferred stock units are converted to common stock and paid out as chosen by the Director in up to 15 annual installments after the Director ceases service with the Board.

Deferrals into the cash deferral account earn interest during the calendar year at a rate equal to the Moody's Long-Term Corporate Bond Yield Average for September of the preceding year ("Moody's Rate"). This interest rate roughly approximates the market interest rate used by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for disclosure purposes. Amounts earned above the SEC interest rate are included in the Director Compensation table on page 8 under the heading "Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings." Directors may annually choose to convert their Cash Deferral Accounts into deferred stock units at the fair market value of our stock at the time of the conversion.

Each Director also receives an annual award of deferred stock units equal in value to one and one-half times the base annual retainer. Each nonemployee Director who joined the Board after November 21, 1997, and before September 24, 2004, receives an additional annual grant of deferred stock units equal to $13,000, limited to 10 annual grants.

AT&T does not offer nonemployee Directors a retirement plan or pension. However, Directors who joined the Board before 1997 have vested rights in a former pension plan that we no longer offer. Only benefits that have already vested are payable under the plan. Each Director who is vested in the former pension plan, upon retirement, will receive annually 10% of the annual retainer in effect at the time of his or her retirement multiplied by the number of years of service, not to exceed 10 years. The payments will continue for the life of the Director. If the Director dies before receiving 10 years of payments, the Director's beneficiaries will receive the payments for the remainder of the 10-year period.

Upon our acquisition of Pacific Telesis Group ("PTG") on April 1, 1997, certain of the former PTG Directors joined our Board. These Directors were allowed to continue their prior deferrals of PTG retainers and fees made before they joined the AT&T Board at the PTG rates. Under the PTG plans,

deferrals earn a rate of interest equal to Moody's Rate plus 4% for deferrals from 1985 through 1992, Moody's Rate plus 2% for deferrals from 1993 through 1995, and the 10-year Treasury Note average for the month of September for the prior year plus 2% for deferrals after 1995.

Similarly, upon our acquisition of BellSouth Corporation on December 29, 2006, certain of the former BellSouth Directors joined our Board. These Directors had previously made cash and stock based deferrals under plans offered by BellSouth. These deferrals pay out in accordance with the choices of the Directors. Cash deferrals earn a rate of interest equal to Moody's Monthly Average of Yields of Aa Corporate Bonds for the previous July, while earnings on deferrals in the form of stock units are reinvested in additional deferred stock units at the fair market value of the underlying stock.

The units vest 50% in 2007 and 25% in each of 2008 and 2009. At vesting of the units, each unit is converted into a share of AT&T Inc. stock. Termination of service on the Board before vesting of these units will result in forfeiture of the units. Mr. Madonna was also issued options by AT&T Corp., which were converted into options to acquire 2,496 shares of AT&T Inc. common stock Similarly, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Blanchard, and Mr. Kelly hold 61,210 options, 79,055 options, and 41,099 options, respectively, that were originally granted by BellSouth Corporation while they served on the BellSouth Board before its 2006 acquisition by AT&T Inc.

Approval of the AT&T Severance Policy (Item 3 on Proxy Card)

The Board of Directors approved and recommends that the stockholders consider and approve its policy on employment and severance agreements for executive officers of AT&T (the "Policy"). The provisions of the Policy are summarized below, followed by the full text of the Policy.

Summary of Policy

The Policy provides that we will not enter into a future severance agreement with an executive officer that provides for severance benefits in an amount that exceeds 2.99 times the executive's annual base salary plus target bonus, unless the agreement is approved or ratified by our stockholders. The Policy is prospective only; it will not apply to existing agreements with our current executive officers.

For purposes of the Policy, severance benefits include cash payments made by AT&T to the executive officer in connection with his or her termination of employment and the present value of benefits or perquisites provided for periods after the termination of employment. Severance benefits do not include amounts accrued prior to termination, whether or not deferred, and reasonable consulting fees,

among other things. Under the Policy if the Board determines to enter into an employment agreement with severance provisions that exceed the limits of the Policy, the Board will seek stockholder approval of the agreement in advance or ratification within 15 months thereafter. Any agreement that has not been approved in advance will be subject to stockholder ratification and will be retroactively modified to the extent necessary to bring it within the limits of the Policy if it is not ratified.

AT&T Severance Policy

AT&T will not enter into any future severance agreement or future employment agreement with any executive officer that provides for severance benefits in an amount that exceeds 2.99 times the executive's annual base salary plus target bonus, unless such future agreement receives prior shareholder approval or is ratified by shareholders at a regularly scheduled annual meeting within the following 15 months. All other future severance agreements and future employment agreements with executive officers will not be subject to shareholder approval or ratification under the Policy.

An "executive officer" is any person who, at the time the agreement is entered into, is identified by the company as an executive officer as that term is defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

"Future employment agreement" means an agreement between AT&T and an executive officer, entered into after the effective date of the Policy, pursuant to which such executive renders services to AT&T or one of its affiliates as an employee. "Future severance agreement" means an agreement between AT&T and an executive officer, entered into after the effective date of the Policy, which relates to such executive's termination of employment with AT&T.

"Severance benefits" means (i) cash payments made by AT&T to the executive officer in connection with and directly related to his or her termination of employment and (ii) the present value of benefits or perquisites provided for periods after the termination of employment. This includes lump-sum payments and the estimated present value of any periodic payments to be made or benefits or perquisites provided following the date of termination that are accrued and paid as a direct result of such termination. "Severance benefits," however, does not include: (i) payments of salary, bonus or performance award amounts that had accrued at the time of termination or had been previously earned and deferred; (ii) payments of accrued compensation or benefits under qualified and non-qualified deferred compensation plans, savings plans, retirement plans, and health and welfare plans; (iii) amounts paid to offset excise tax liability to the extent the excise taxes are incurred because of a prior deferral of income; (iv) any benefits or perquisites provided under plans or programs applicable to managers generally; (v) amounts paid as part of any agreement intended to "make-whole" any loss or forfeiture of benefits from a prior employer; (vi) amounts paid for post-termination consulting services pursuant to a reasonable consulting agreement; (vii) amounts paid for post-termination covenants, such as a covenant not to compete; or (viii) any payment that the Board of Directors determines in good faith to be a reasonable settlement of any claim made against AT&T. In the event of termination of employment by the company following a change in control (as that term is defined in AT&T's Change in Control Severance Plan, as amended from time to time), "severance benefits" will not include the cash payments made in lieu of the accelerated vesting of options or outstanding equity-based awards or to compensate for the cancellation of such awards.

Approval of the AT&T Severance Policy

Stockholder Proposals (Items 4 through 8 on Proxy Card)

Certain stockholders have advised the Company that they intend to introduce at the 2007 Annual Meeting the proposals set forth below. The names and addresses of, and the number of shares owned by, each such stockholder will be provided upon request to the Senior Vice President and Secretary of AT&T.

Stockholder Proposal A (Item 4 on Proxy Card)

Resolved, that the shareholders of AT&T ("the Company") hereby request that the Company provide a report, updated semi-annually, disclosing the Company's:

Monetary and non-monetary political contributions and expenditures not deductible under section 162 (e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, including but not limited to contributions to or expenditures on behalf of political candidates, political parties, political committees and other political entities organized and operating under 26 USC Sec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Code and any portion of any dues or similar payments made to any tax exempt organization that is used for an expenditure or contribution if made directly by the corporation would not be deductible under section 162 (e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. The report shall include the following:

a. An accounting of the Company's funds that are used for political contributions or expenditures as described above;

b. Identification of the person or persons in the Company who participated in making the decisions to make the political contribution or expenditure; and

c. The internal guidelines or policies, if any, governing the Company's political contributions and expenditures.

The report shall be presented to the board of directors' audit committee or other relevant oversight committee and posted on the company's website to reduce costs to shareholders.

Supporting Statement

This proposal asks AT&T to disclose its political contributions, and payments to trade associations and other tax-exempt organizations. Current disclosure is insufficient to allow shareholders to fully evaluate the political use of corporate assets.

Company executives exercise wide discretion over the use of corporate resources for political activities. These decisions involve political contributions, called "soft money," and payments to trade associations and related groups that are used for political activities. Most of these expenditures are not disclosed. In 2003-04, the last fully reported election cycle, AT&T contributed at least $1,337,575 in soft money. In the 2005-06 election cycle, AT&T contributed at least $1,210,000 in soft money. (Derived from PoliticalMoneyLine.com).

Our company's payments to trade associations used for political activities are undisclosed and unknown. These activities include direct and indirect political contributions to candidates, political parities or organizations and electioneering communications on behalf of a federal, state or local candidate. In many cases, even management does not know how trade associations use their company's money politically. Absent a system of accountability, corporate executives are free to use the Company's assets for political objectives that are not shared by and may be inimical to the interests of the Company and its shareholders, potentially harming long-term shareholder value.

AT&T has posted its political contributions policy on its website, after receiving a similar resolution last year. However, there is still no single source of information that provides the information sought by this resolution. This report could be prepared at minimal cost, as presumably management already monitors corporate resources used for such purposes. We believe that transparency and accountability in this area will advance our company's interests, and help build long-term shareholder value.

YOUR DIRECTORS' POSITION

Political contributions, where permitted, are an important part of the regulatory and legislative process. AT&T is in a highly regulated industry and the Company's operations are significantly affected by the actions of elected officials at the local, state and national levels, including rates it can charge customers, its profitability and even how it must provide services to competitors. It is important that your company actively participate in the electoral and legislative processes in order to protect your interests as stockholders. We do so by contributing prudently to state and local candidates and by contributing to political organizations and trade associations when such contributions advance AT&T's business objectives and the interests of our stockholders. In making such contributions, AT&T is committed to complying with campaign finance and lobbying laws, and changes that may be enacted in the future, including the laws requiring public disclosure of political contributions and lobbying expenses. The amount of AT&T's expenditures in this area is de minimis as compared to the total expenditures of the Company in a year. The adoption of this proposal would add unnecessary costs to the business.

Each year, your Board of Directors authorizes a maximum amount of aggregate contributions that can be made by your company, as permitted by, and in strict compliance with, applicable law, for the purposes of supporting or opposing any party, committee, candidate for public office, or ballot measure, or for any other political purpose. Except for contributions for ballot measures, no expenditure over $1,000 may be made unless approved by the Chief Executive Officer (lesser amounts may be approved by delegates). All expenditures must be submitted to the Company's attorneys to confirm that each contribution is lawful. AT&T's policy with respect to political contributions is clearly set forth on the Company's website, and can be found at http://www.att.com/gen/investor-relations?pid=7726.

In addition, no company funds, by law, are expended to make Federal political contributions. Federal law has long prohibited corporate contributions to Federal candidates or their political committees. With the enactment of the Bi-Partisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002 (known as the "McCain Feingold Act"), corporate contributions to Federal political parties and Leadership Committees are prohibited, effective November 6, 2002.

As to state and local contributions, state laws determine when and under what circumstances political contributions are permissible. Moreover, a number of states in which AT&T operates have extensive reporting requirements. These rules, in general, are equally applicable to all participants in the political process. This proposal, on the other hand, would impose a set of rules only on your Company.

This proposal would impose unwarranted expenditures of funds and administrative burdens on your company and would be uniquely applicable only to your Company and not to our competitors, unions or any other participants in the process. Your Directors believe that any reporting requirements that go beyond those required under existing law should be applicable to all participants in the process, not just to AT&T.

Your Board of Directors Recommends a
Vote "AGAINST" This Proposal.

Stockholder Proposal B (Item 5 on Proxy Card)

5 - Special Shareholder Meetings

RESOLVED, shareholders ask our board of directors to amend our bylaws to give holders of at least 10% to 25% of the outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting.

Shareholders should have the ability, within reasonable limits, to call a special meeting when they think a matter is sufficiently important to merit expeditious consideration. Shareholder control over timing is especially important in the context of a major acquisition or restructuring, when events unfold quickly and issues may become moot by the next annual meeting.

Thus this proposal asks our board to amend our bylaws to establish a process by which holders of 10% to 25% of our outstanding common shares may demand that a special meeting be called. The corporate laws of many states (though not Delaware, where our company is incorporated) provide that holders of only 10% of shares may call a special meeting, absent a contrary provision in the charter or bylaws. Accordingly, a 10% to 25% threshold strikes a reasonable balance between enhancing shareholder rights and avoiding excessive distraction at our company.

Prominent institutional investors and organization support allowing shareholders to call a special meeting. Fidelity, Vanguard, American Century and Massachusetts Financial Services are among the mutual fund companies supporting a shareholder right to call a special meeting. The proxy voting guidelines of many public employee pension funds, including the Connecticut Retirement Plans, the New York City Employees Retirement System and the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association, also favor preserving this right. Governance ratings services, such as The Corporate Library and Governance Metrics International, take special meeting rights into account when assigning company ratings.

This topic also won 65% support of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) shareholders at the 2006 JPM annual meeting.

YOUR DIRECTORS' POSITION

Under the Company's Bylaws, a special meeting of stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board. The Bylaws also provide that the Chairman of the Board will call a special meeting whenever requested in writing to do so by stockholders representing two-thirds of the shares of AT&T then outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting. This Bylaw provision conforms to the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law. For a company with as many stockholders as AT&T, a special meeting of shareholders is a very expensive and time-consuming affair because of the legal costs in preparing required disclosure documents, printing and mailing costs, and the time commitment required of the Board and members of senior management to prepare for and conduct the meeting. Calling special meetings of stockholders is not a matter to be taken lightly, and should be extraordinary events that only occur when either fiduciary obligations or strategic concerns require that the matters to be addressed cannot wait until the next annual meeting.

Allowing a minority group of stockholders to call special meetings could impose substantial administrative and financial burdens on the Company, and significantly disrupt the conduct of the Company's business. The current Bylaw provision is an appropriate corporate governance provision for a public company of our size because it allows the directors, according to their fiduciary obligations, to exercise their business judgment to determine when it is in the best interests of stockholders to convene a special meeting.

For these reasons, your Board of Directors believes that the adoption of this proposal is not in the best interest of AT&T's stockholders.

Your Board of Directors Recommends a

Vote "AGAINST" This Proposal.

Stockholder Proposal C (Item 6 on Proxy Card)

Resolved: That the shareholders of AT&T ("Company") request that the Board of Director's Executive Compensation Committee establish a pay-for-superior-performance standard in the Company's executive compensation plan for senior executives ("Plan"), by incorporating the following principles into the Plan:

1. The annual incentive or bonus component of the Plan should utilize defined financial performance criteria that can be benchmarked against a disclosed peer group of companies, and provide that an annual bonus is awarded only when the Company's performance exceeds its peers' median or mean performance on the selected financial criteria:

2. The long-term compensation component of the Plan should utilize defined financial and/or stock price performance criteria that can be benchmarked against a disclosed peer group of companies. Options, restricted shares, or other equity or non-equity compensation used in the Plan should be structured so that compensation is received only when the Company's performance exceeds its peers' median or mean performance on the selected financial and stock price performance criteria; and

3. Plan disclosure should be sufficient to allow shareholders to determine and monitor the pay and performance correlation established in the Plan.

Supporting Statement: We feel it is imperative that compensation plans for senior executives be designed and implemented to promote long-term corporate value. A critical design feature of a well-conceived executive compensation plan is a close correlation between the level of pay and the level of corporate performance relative to industry peers. We believe the failure to tie executive compensation to superior corporate performance; that is, performance exceeding peer group performance, has fueled the escalation of executive compensation and detracted from the goal of enhancing long-term corporate value.

We believe that common compensation practices have contributed to excessive executive compensation. Compensation committees typically target senior executive total compensation at the median level of a selected peer group, then they design any annual and long-term incentive plan performance criteria and benchmarks to deliver a significant portion of the total compensation target regardless of the company's performance relative to its peers. High total compensation targets combined with less than rigorous performance benchmarks yield a pattern of superior-pay-for-average-performance. The problem is exacerbated when companies include annual bonus payments among earnings used to calculate supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) benefit levels, guaranteeing excessive levels of lifetime income through inflated pension payments.

We believe the Company's Plan fails to promote the pay-for-superior-performance principle. Our Proposal offers a straightforward solution: The Compensation Committee should establish and disclose financial and stock price performance criteria and set peer group-related performance benchmarks that permit awards or payouts in its annual and long-term incentive compensation plans only when the Company's performance exceeds the median of its peer group. A senior executive compensation plan based on sound pay-for-superior-performance principles will help moderate excessive executive compensation and create competitive compensation incentives that will focus senior executives on building sustainable long-term corporate value.

YOUR DIRECTORS' POSITION

This proposal calls for the Company to establish an executive compensation program that is based on a comparison of operating and financial results at AT&T to the results at other companies. It would require the Company to pick certain criteria, such as revenues or net income or customer numbers, and base the bonus and long-term compensation of our senior executives solely on a comparison of those criteria. The proposal does not take into account the fact that different companies, although in the same peer group, could be, for example, in different stages of growth, subject to different regulatory and legal requirements, or simply in different geographic areas, any of which could cause a particular company to stress different factors in measuring its performance. Your Board of Directors believes that the proposal therefore focuses on the wrong issue by ignoring other more fundamental and important principles that should be considered in the administration of executive compensation programs.

The Human Resources Committee does look to peer companies and market data to determine appropriate market rates and levels of compensation. However, the determination of the payment for incentive awards is and should be largely tied directly to goals and objectives established by the Human Resources Committee consistent with the specific performance goals and objectives of your Company.

Decisions regarding the compensation of AT&T's executive officers are the responsibility of the Human Resources Committee, which is composed entirely of independent Directors. As stated in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis included in this proxy statement, the Committee believes that its current approach of linking a significant portion of senior executive compensation to specific AT&T performance measures aligns the interests of the Company's senior executives with the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders and gives the Committee the necessary flexibility and discretion to more effectively use performance-based compensation and equity incentive tools in the administration of the Company's executive compensation programs. Moreover, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, a significant portion of the long-term compensation of the Chief Executive Officer already is based on a comparison of AT&T's total stockholder return (stock appreciation plus reinvestment of dividends) to relevant companies in the North American Telecom Index, subject to adjustments described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis. The Committee believes this mix of performance standards tied to your Company's objectives to a comparison of total stockholder return compared with other companies strikes an appropriate balance.

Your Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders to continue to provide the Committee the flexibility and discretion to use performance-based compensation and equity incentive tools as appropriate, without being restricted by guidelines that would tie compensation to the performance objectives and results of other companies as opposed to the specific objectives of your Company. For these reasons, the Board of Directors believes that the adoption of the proposal is unnecessary and detrimental to the long-term interests of the stockholders.

Stockholder Proposal D (Item 7 on Proxy Card)

RESOLVED, the shareholders of AT&T Inc. hereby request that the Board adopt a policy that includes, as a voting item in the proxy statement for each annual meeting, an advisory resolution, proposed by AT&T's management, to approve the compensation of the named executive officers ("NEOs"), as set forth in the proxy statement's Summary Compensation Table (the "SCT"), and the accompanying narrative disclosure of material factors provided to understand the SCT. The policy should ensure that shareholders fully understand the vote is advisory and will not abrogate any employment agreement.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

We believe current rules governing senior executive compensation do not give shareholders sufficient influence over pay practices - nor do they give the Board adequate feedback from the owners of the company.

The advisory vote proposed here is similar to the nonbinding shareholder vote required since 2003 at the annual meetings of all U.K.-listed firms and, beginning in 2005, at Australia-based companies.

AT&T's Board has been criticized for excessive CEO pay relative to performance. A study by The Corporate Library ("Pay for Failure: The Compensation Committees responsible," March 31, 2006) singled out AT&T as one of eleven large U.S. companies "where the disconnect between pay and performance is particularly stark."

The study notes that over the five fiscal years through 2005, CEO Edward Whitacre received $85.2 million in compensation, while total shareholder return was negative 40.3%. The Corporate Library accordingly gave AT&T's Board a "D" for overall effectiveness.

The Corporate Library's analysis concludes: "Too much of the current and future compensation at AT&T is either fixed, or based on the wrong performance metrics, or the wrong performance metrics measured over too short a time period, which, while achievable, do not necessarily translate into long-term growth in shareholder value." The study asserts that 100% LTIP payouts to Whitacre when "shareholder wealth has been diminished by a third over the period goes against common sense."

In our opinion, AT&T's executive pension and severance agreements also stand out as unjustifiably costly and contrary to shareholder interests.

Whitacre's parachute is valued at over $25 million - the 17th most costly among America's 100 largest corporations ("Platinum Promises," BusinessWeek Online, December 12, 2005).

Whitacre's golden parachute is particularly excessive, in our view, considering it has a platinum lining: annual pension payments of $5,494,000 for life, plus an $18,805,000 lump sum. Last year The Corporate Library singled out AT&T for bestowing on Whitacre the third largest CEO pension payout among large U.S. companies.

If you add these together, it means that AT&T's shareholders could be paying our CEO $150 million or more in post-employment severance and pension benefits combined over the next 20 years (assuming Whitacre's eligible termination and longevity).

Last year, after just 5 years at AT&T, former CEO David Dorman left with a yearly pension of $2.1 million and his own $25 million parachute. Compare this to the freezing of AT&T's rank-and-file pension plan.

An advisory vote would provide useful feedback and encourage stockholders to scrutinize the new, more extensive disclosures required by the SEC.

Please vote FOR this proposal.

YOUR DIRECTORS' POSITION

Your Board of Directors believes that this proposal is not in the best interests of AT&T stockholders.

The process requested by the proposal is not necessary because AT&T already has an efficient and meaningful method of communicating with the Board of Directors. As discussed on page 3 under the heading "Board of Directors," stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with members of AT&T's Board of Directors, including the Lead Director, by writing to the Board, or a specific Committee Chair or director through the Office of the Secretary.

We believe that direct communications between stockholders and the Board, including the Human Resources Committee, is a much more effective and accurate method of expressing support or criticism of AT&T's executive compensation practices. Unlike the vote advocated by the proposal, communicating directly with the Board will allow stockholders to voice any specific observations or objections to AT&T's executive compensation practices directly to the decision makers. Moreover, communicating directly with the Board will eliminate the need for the Human Resources Committee to speculate as to the meaning of stockholder approval or disapproval of the compensation set forth in the Company's proxy statement.

In addition, the vote recommended in the proposal would not provide any useful information to AT&T and members of the Human Resources Committee. If implemented, the stockholder proposal would require AT&T stockholders to vote "yes" or "no" on the compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and the accompanying narrative disclosure. Contrary to the assertions in the supporting statement for the proposal, the process advocated by the proposal would not provide "useful feedback" on executive compensation, and it would not give AT&T stockholders the right to approve or disapprove of AT&T's executive compensation practices. The executive officers' compensation is composed of several different elements. Since the vote on the compensation would be either "yes" or "no" as a whole, the Committee would not have any information regarding which element the stockholders were voting against and what their specific objection was. The Committee would be forced to speculate regarding the stockholders' intent.

Moreover, the vote advocated by the proposal fails to recognize that AT&T already has in place a thoughtful, performance-based executive compensation program. AT&T's executive compensation program emphasizes the retention of key executives and the practice of appropriately rewarding key executives for positive results. The Human Resources Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, none of whom has an interest in the compensation decisions the Committee makes, oversees AT&T's executive compensation program. The Committee continually monitors the executive compensation program and adopts changes to reflect the dynamic, global marketplace in which AT&T competes for talent. AT&T will continue to emphasize pay-for-performance and equity-based incentive programs that reward executives for results that are consistent with stockholder interests.

Your Board of Directors does not believe the advisory vote called for by the stockholder proposal will enhance AT&T's compensation program. Instead of encouraging stockholders to take advantage of AT&T's current policies and procedures, the proposal advocates substituting a narrower and less effective mechanism.

Stockholder Proposal E (Item 8 on Proxy Card)

Be it Resolved: That the shareholders of the AT&T Inc. ("Company") hereby urge that the Board of Director's executive compensation committee establish a policy limiting the benefits provided under the Company's supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP Policy"). The SERP Policy should provide

for the following: (1) a limitation of covered compensation to a senior executive's annual salary, and (2) the exclusion of all incentive or bonus pay from inclusion in the plan's definition of covered compensation used to establish benefits. The SERP Policy should be implemented in a manner so as not to interfere with existing contractual rights of any supplemental plan participant.

Supporting Statement: We believe that one of the most troubling aspects of the sharp rise in executive compensation is the excessive pension benefits provided to senior corporate executives through the use of supplemental executive plans ("SERPs"). Our Company has established a SERP, called the 2005 Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan. The Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan provides the Company's chief executive officer ("CEO") and other senior executives retirement benefits far greater than those permitted under the Company's tax-qualified pension plan. Our proposal seeks to limit excessive pension benefits by limiting the type of compensation used to calculate pension benefits under the SERP plan.

At present, U.S. tax law maintains a $220,000 limit on the level of compensation used to determine a participant's retirement benefit under a tax-qualified pension plan. Our Company has established a SERP as a complement to its tax-qualified plan in order to provide senior executives increased retirement benefits. This is accomplished by raising the level of compensation used in the pension formula to calculate retirement benefits. The SERP establishes a higher compensation level on which to calculate senior executives' pension benefits by including the executive's full salary and annual bonus in the compensation figure. The Company's 2006 proxy statement indicates that the combined salary and bonus figure was $9,249,000 for the CEO, approximately 42 times the $220,000 compensation limit in the Company's tax-qualified pension plan.

Our position is that the inclusion of an executive's annual bonus along with his or her full salary in the pension calculation is overly generous and unjustifiable. The only type of compensation used in the SERP for establishing the level of additional pension benefits should be an executive's annual salary. No variable incentive pay should be included in a senior executive's pension calculation under the SERP. The inclusion of annual bonus or incentive payments in determining increased pension benefits can dramatically increase the pension benefit afforded senior executives and has the additional undesirable effect of converting one-time incentive compensation into guaranteed lifetime pension income.

The proposal's limitation on the type of compensation that can be considered in determining senior executives' retirement benefits to only the executive's salary is a necessary and reasonable restriction on the excessiveness of supplemental retirement benefits. We urge your support for this important executive compensation reform.

YOUR DIRECTORS' POSITION

SERP retirement benefits are part of a comprehensive compensation package used to attract and retain selected senior executives. SERPs are utilized by many large public companies, including many which compete with us for qualified senior executives. The Human Resources Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, is responsible for ensuring that executive compensation is sufficient to attract, retain and reward executives in a competitive business environment.

The Company limits participation in the SERP, and finds the SERP Plan to be a useful component of executive compensation. Any benefit provided under our SERP is offset by amounts payable under any other Company qualified or nonqualified defined benefit pension plan.

The Board recognizes that it must perform its responsibilities in a manner that it believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In order to fulfill those obligations, the Board and the

Human Resources Committee must be able to design and approve executive compensation packages that address the facts and circumstances of an individual executive's situation. Requiring the Board to adopt an arbitrary policy limiting executive retirement benefits would substantially hamper and undermine its ability to attract and retain desirable candidates.

The Human Resources Committee continuously reviews the compensation and benefits for executives. As one of many recent changes, the Human Resources Committee reduced the target SERP percentage to 50% for all new participants.

The Human Resources Committee has engaged an independent consultant to assist it with periodic benchmarking within the Company's compensation peer group to ensure that our executive compensation and benefits programs are competitive with the marketplace. We believe that our SERP and other retirement benefits are consistent with market practice.

For these reasons, your Board of Directors believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to retain the flexibility to consider making SERP benefits part of the compensation package for any or all of its senior executives without being limited by a policy that could put the Company at a significant competitive disadvantage.

Compensation Committee

The Human Resources Committee, composed entirely of independent, nonemployee Directors, is responsible for the compensation of our executives, including the Named Executive Officers, and overseeing our compensation practices. Its charter is available on our web site at www.att.com. None of our employees serve on this Committee. The current members of the Committee are: Mr. Henderson (Chairman), Dr. Amelio, Mr. Blanchard, Mr. Eby, Jr., and Ms. Upton. Mr. Blanchard joined the Committee in January 2007.

The Committee is responsible for determining the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers as well as for certain other employees. It is also responsible for the administration of certain benefit plans and recommending new benefit plans to the Board when Board approval is required.

The Committee is authorized by its charter to employ independent compensation and other consultants. It may also form and delegate authority to subcommittees of the Committee. Presently, the Committee employs CCA Strategies, an employee benefits and compensation consulting firm, to assist the Committee in evaluating executive compensation and benefits on an ongoing basis. A consultant from CCA Strategies attends all Committee meetings and provides information, research and analysis pertaining to executive compensation and benefits as requested by the Committee. CCA Strategies regularly updates the Committee on market trends and makes recommendations for establishing the market values of the top positions at our Company. Recently, CCA Strategies was acquired by JP Morgan Retirement Plan Services.

The Committee sets compensation levels based on the skills, experience and achievements of each executive officer, taking into account the market rates recommended by CCA Strategies and the compensation recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer, except with respect to his own position. The Committee believes that input from both management and the consultant provides useful information and points of view to assist the Committee in determining compensation.

Role of Compensation Consultant The Committee with the assistance of CCA Strategies conducts an annual analysis of historic executive compensation and financial performance and establishes annual market rates. This analysis considers market data from four separate groups of companies as set forth below:

1. a comparator group of 20 companies in the technology, telecommunications and entertainment industries selected by CCA Strategies in consultation with the Committee (in 2005, the Committee used a comparator group of 26 companies in diverse industries);

2. the Fortune 50, excluding financial or privately held institutions;

3. Fortune 25 companies, excluding financial and privately held institutions; and

4. companies in the telecommunications and cable industries.

This analysis includes the removal of outliers where actual compensation practice is not consistent with financial performance or is in the top quartile.

The current comparator group is comprised as follows:

Boeing	IBM	Qwest Communications
Cisco Systems	Intel	Sprint Nextel
Comcast	Johnson Controls	Time Warner
Dell	Lockheed Martin	United Technologies
General Electric	Microsoft	Verizon Communications
Hewlett-Packard	Motorola	Walt Disney
Honeywell	News Corp

The analysis reviews historic compensation rates and realized compensation compared to actual and comparative financial and equity performance.

Actual company performance with respect to growth in revenue and net operating income and total shareholder return was compared to total compensation over a five year period.

Relative company performance was compared to the comparator group, Fortune 50, Fortune 25 and telecommunication and cable companies with respect to total compensation among these respective companies over a 5 year period to test the overall reasonableness of each separate group comparison.

As part of the Committee's process for setting compensation each year, CCA Strategies reviews and summarizes compensation data from the annual analysis and makes recommendations for the Committee to use in determining a market rate for each element of compensation (salary, bonus, and long term compensation) for each executive officer position.

Once the market data is collected, the consultant confers with the Chief Executive Officer as to the Company's views on the relative value of each executive officer position at the Company. The consultant then develops final market rate recommendations for the Committee for each position.

In 2006 the Committee also reviewed a sensitivity analysis prepared by CCA Strategies that analyzed the total value of current compensation and future compensation, including:

     Salary
     Annual incentives
     Long term incentives
     Benefits and perquisites
     Change in control
     Severance

Forecasts were developed of the value of current and future incentive plans projected under threshold, target and optimal company performance including:

     Stock appreciation/depreciation
     Revenue increase/decrease
     Net operating income increase/decrease
     Performance metrics used in incentive plans (threshold, target, maximum)

These forecasts provide the range of potential compensation that executives could receive and permit the Compensation Committee to assess the appropriate level of incentive compensation to be awarded annually.

The consultant presents these market rate recommendations and various studies of executive officer compensation to the Committee.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Human Resources Committee's objective is to develop and maintain compensation packages most likely to attract, retain, motivate, and reward executives. Compensation programs should be sound and consistent with those of other firms of similar size with which we are likely to compete for talent to enable AT&T to employ and retain a high-quality management team.

The Human Resources Committee has adopted the following principles for establishing the amount and form of executive compensation:

     Maximize the alignment of executive compensation with the long-term interests of stockholders;
     Provide competitive compensation to attract, retain and motivate executives;
     Base both short-term bonuses and long-term compensation on performance measures;
     Balance equity-based compensation awarded to executives with the interests of stockholders concerning dilution;
     Establish short-term incentives with a view toward achievement of long-term corporate goals; and
     Provide opportunities for executives to acquire and hold AT&T stock and establish minimum ownership requirements.

The Committee believes that a competitive compensation package should offer:

     A competitive salary
     An annual incentive bonus opportunity
     Long-term compensation tied to company and stock performance
     Tax advantaged opportunities to defer compensation, and
     Pension and other retirement plans.

Compensation

Summary of Compensation The Committee sets compensation levels based on the skills, experience and achievements of each executive officer, taking into account the market rates recommended by CCA Strategies and the compensation recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer, except with respect to his own position. Under this process, we establish compensation for our officers using a combination of salary, annual incentive bonus and long-term incentives. In addition, as other companies do, we provide health and pension plans and other benefits.

Annual Base Salaries Base salaries are designed to attract, retain, motivate and reward competent, experienced executives to operate the business. We emphasize performance based compensation for executive officers, so base salaries are typically less than either target annual bonuses or long term awards. Our executive officers' salaries (other than the Chief Executive Officer) are generally targeted to the 50th percentile of the market, as adjusted for the relative value of the jobs within our Company.

Executives with significant experience and responsibility, who consistently demonstrate exemplary performance, are typically paid more than the market rates set for their position, while less experienced executives may be paid salaries less than the market rates.

The Committee sets Mr. Whitacre's compensation based on his employment contract, discussed on page 46, which requires his total target compensation to be at least what it was in 2001. Mr. Whitacre has been instrumental in reshaping the Company and transforming it into a market-leading global competitor,

and the Committee believes he should be rewarded accordingly. At the time the employment contract was executed, the Committee determined that Mr. Whitacre should be compensated at the then 75th percentile of the market. Because of his long, sustained superior performance, the Committee still believes it is appropriate to pay Mr. Whitacre in accordance with the contract. Mr. Whitacre's salary for 2006 did not change.

Mr. Sigman is the chief executive officer of AT&T Mobility LLC (our wireless subsidiary, formerly known as Cingular Wireless), and his salary and other 2006 compensation was set by the Cingular (now AT&T Mobility) compensation committee pursuant to his employment contract, discussed on page 47.

Short-Term Incentives In 2006, the Committee used annual short-term incentives in the form of performance based annual cash bonuses to compensate the Named Executive Officers as well as other officers. The Committee established performance targets for executive officers using financial and/or operational goals linking compensation to our overall performance. The Committee establishes performance targets after reviewing our business plan and determining the short-term business metrics managers should focus on most in order to drive results. Because of the broad responsibilities of the Named Executive Officers, their targets are tied to Company-wide measures.

Target bonuses for executive officers (except the Chief Executive Officer) were established by generally targeting the 62nd percentile of market for cash compensation (salary plus annual bonus) and then adjusting for the relative value of each position to determine the market rate used by the Committee. By using the 50th percentile for salaries, but the 62nd percentile for total cash compensation (salary and bonus), the Committee emphasizes performance-based compensation over salary.

In determining target bonus amounts, the Committee also considers individual performance, level of responsibility and experience. Bonuses are paid at the Committee's discretion based on the accomplishment of company and/or business unit performance targets set at the beginning of the year and individual performance. As with his base salary, Mr. Whitacre's target bonus is set based on his contract. While his target bonus increased approximately 6% in total from the time of his contract through 2003, it has not increased since that date.

For 2006, the financial and operational targets for short-term awards for the Named Executive Officers, except for Mr. Sigman and Mr. Dorman, were based on net income, free cash flow, customer satisfaction and customer churn (weighted 50%, 30%, 10% and 10%, respectively). Similar targets were established for non-executive officers. If the objectives are not completely met, the bonuses are reduced, or if certain minimum targets are not met, bonuses are eliminated. The Committee also provided for an extraordinary bonus payment of up to 10% of the short-term award if we achieved aggressive year-over-year revenue targets. The total payout based on financial performance is capped at 125% of the target opportunity.

For the 2006 short-term incentive awards, the Committee determined that the Named Executive Officers had exceeded the net income target of $5,608 million. After excluding earnings resulting from the acquisition of BellSouth for the last two days of the year, we had net income of $7,332 million. Our Free Cash Flow target was $6,956 million, and after adjusting for BellSouth, our actual result was $8,013 million. We did not meet our customer satisfaction targets nor did we meet certain of the customer churn targets as a result of re-branding our businesses under the AT&T name. Under a predetermined formula for the awards, the bonuses were paid at 119% of the target for the Named Executive Officers, together with discretionary awards based on individual performance for certain officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. Because Mr. Dorman was with the Company for only one month in 2006, he received a pro-rated portion of his target award under his employment agreement. Mr. Sigman's bonus was determined in accordance with his AT&T Mobility grant, described under his employment contract on page 47.

While the Committee is not limited in its ability to make discretionary bonus payments, it attempts to do so in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which permits a company to deduct compensation over $1 million paid to the five most highly paid Named Executive Officers only if the payment is made pursuant to a performance-based award under a stockholder approved plan. At the time the Committee sets performance objectives and payout targets for short-term incentives, it also sets the maximum discretionary payment that may be made if the same performance objectives are achieved. This limit is subject to the same conditions as the target payout: if the targets are not met, then the limit is reduced or eliminated. The Committee is not obligated to make discretionary bonuses, and it uses these bonuses to reward exceptional performance. For 2006 the Committee set discretionary target limits of $15 million for Mr. Whitacre, $3.8 million for Mr. Stephenson, and $2 million for Mr. Lindner and Mr. Ellis. The actual discretionary bonuses for 2006 for these officers were well within these limits (as noted above, Mr. Whitacre received no discretionary bonus) and are set out under "Bonuses" in the Summary Compensation Table.

Long-Term Incentives - Introduction In 2002 and before, the Company granted long-term incentives in the form of 40% performance shares and 60% stock options. A performance share is equal in value to one share of our stock and is paid out at the end of the performance period (typically three years) based on the extent to which the performance goals are met. Officers also receive dividend equivalents on the performance shares equal to the dividends on our common stock. In 2003, the previous Committee modified the mix of those elements to one-third performance shares, one-third stock options and one-third restricted stock. The performance objectives for performance shares granted in 2002 and 2003 were based on a net income target for each year in the three-year performance cycle.

Beginning in 2004, the Committee decided to use performance shares instead of stock options or restricted stock to tie the incentive pay of executives more directly to performance and to minimize the dilution of stockholder interests to which equity-based compensation programs may contribute. The Committee continued that policy in subsequent annual grants. While stock options and time-based restricted stock link an executive's interests to those of stockholders, they do not have a performance component or measure. In addition, current accounting rules cause stock options to be dilutive in calculating earnings per share. Therefore, since 2004 the Committee has exclusively used performance shares as long-term compensation for executive officers. The value of performance shares fluctuates directly with changes in the price of our stock, which ties managers' interests directly to those of stockholders. Performance shares are paid out only to the extent that specific internal financial and/or operational objectives are achieved. No payout is made if minimum objectives are not met. Depending on the terms of the grant, payouts are made in a combination of cash and stock or in cash alone; payouts made in whole or in part in cash reduce dilution caused by the payout of stock alone.

Comparison of the Compensation Elements Used for Delivering Value in Long-Term Compensation Plans
2002 Long-Term Compensation	2003 Long-Term Compensation	2004 and Later Long-Term Compensation
Performance Shares (2002-2004 performance period) Stock Options	Performance Shares (2003-2005 performance period) Stock Options Restricted Stock (vested in 2006)	Performance Shares (2004-2006 and later performance periods)

Long-Term Compensation - Awards in 2006 In 2006, the Committee granted executive officers long-term incentives in the form of performance shares for the 2006-2008 performance period. The Committee determined the total amount of long-term incentives to grant each executive officer (except the Chief Executive Officer) by generally targeting the 50th percentile of the long-term market rates and

then adjusting for the relative value of each position within our Company. Mr. Whitacre's long-term compensation was again set based on his contract.

The Committee also decided to use return on invested capital instead of net income as the long-term performance measure for target awards for grants beginning in 2004. This performance measure is calculated by averaging over the three-year performance period (1) our annual net income before extraordinary items plus after-tax interest expense, divided by (2) the total of the average debt and average stockholder equity for the relevant year. We exclude the effects of mergers over $5 billion. Return on invested capital encourages managers to focus not only on net income, but also to ensure that the company's capital is invested effectively. We believe our targets are reasonable and in the interests of stockholders. While we expect our officers to attain these targets, there can be no assurance of their success.

Another change made by the Committee reduced the potential payout by reducing the cap to 150% from the previous cap of 200%, beginning with the 2004 performance share grants. The chart below shows the performance share grants made by the Committee in 2006.

2006 Long-Term Incentive Grants by the Committee
Officer	Grant Value of Performance Shares
Edward E. Whitacre, Jr.	$22,103,216
Richard G. Lindner	2,866,304
Randall L. Stephenson	4,913,634
James D. Ellis	3,992,341

In setting Mr. Whitacre's long-term compensation, the Committee decided that 75% of his performance shares would be tied to return on invested capital (as described above), and the remaining 25% of the award would be based on the comparison of AT&T's total stockholder return (stock appreciation plus reinvestment of dividends) to relevant companies in the North American Telecom Index. We exclude from this index equipment manufacturers and companies with a market capitalization of under $5 billion, and add several cable and, beginning with the 2006 grants, satellite companies not already in the Index. The following chart shows the potential payouts based on total stockholder return:

AT&T Total Stockholder Return compared to the adjusted North American Telecom Index	Payout Percentage
AT&T is the top company	200%
AT&T in 75 - 99th percentile of the Index	150%
AT&T in 50 - 74.99th percentile of the Index	100%
AT&T in 25 - 49.99th percentile of the Index	50%
AT&T below the 25th percentile of the Index	0% (if results exceed a 20% return, then 10% payout)

In each case, the payout is reduced by 10% if AT&T's total stockholder return is negative

Long-Term Compensation - The Results for the 2004-2006 Performance Period As a preliminary matter, it is important to note that the many strategic acquisitions made over the past decade have reshaped the Company and transformed it into a premier global telecom competitor, creating value for our stockholders. These acquisitions are now coming together, and stockholders are benefiting from our dividends and recent stock price appreciation. In 2006, our stock price increased by 46% and had a total return (including the reinvestment of dividends) of 53%. The wealth of our stockholders increased by over $40 billion in market price and the payment of over $5 billion in dividends from January 1, 2006, through December 29, 2006, immediately before the closing of the BellSouth acquisition.

With respect to the 2004-2006 performance period, the performance goals (return on invested capital) were slightly exceeded by the Named Executive Officers. In accordance with a predetermined formula, 104% of the target performance shares were distributed. The Committee also determined that for awards for the 2004-2006 performance period using the AT&T Total Stockholder Return measurement, the Company was in the top half of the index, surpassing 59% of the other companies. Mr. Whitacre received a payout of 100% of the target performance shares tied to this measurement, representing 25% of his target shares. See Total Stockholder Return chart above.

In addition, in 2005 the Committee made two special long-term incentive grants to Mr. Whitacre in connection with two "transforming" acquisitions that were led by him: the acquisition of AT&T Wireless in late 2004 by our AT&T Mobility LLC subsidiary (owned 60% by AT&T Inc. before AT&T Inc. acquired BellSouth in 2006, making AT&T Inc. the sole owner of AT&T Mobility) and the 2005 acquisition of AT&T Corp., the former parent of the Company, allowing the Company to become an end-to-end provider for major companies in the United States and expand its global reach.

In connection with the acquisition of AT&T Wireless, the Committee granted an incentive award to Mr. Whitacre that would be directly tied to the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. The award provided that unless our share of the cumulative pre-tax income for the 2005-2006 performance period met or exceeded the projections upon which the Board voted to proceed with the transaction, there would be no payout on the incentive award. If the results met the original projections, Mr. Whitacre would receive 50% of the target award. If the results exceeded the original projections by up to approximately $1.5 billion (representing our then 60% ownership of AT&T Mobility), he could receive up to 100% of the award. The award was capped at 100%. The achieved results, which included significant operational improvements and synergies, exceeded the amount required to realize the 100% payout.

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of our former parent, AT&T Corp, the Committee granted Mr. Whitacre and Mr. Ellis incentive awards tied to anticipated benefits of that acquisition. The grants are for the 2006-2007 performance period. Under the awards, Mr. Whitacre and Mr. Ellis will receive no payout unless the cumulative pre-tax income of our wireline and parent operations over the performance period reach the original projections used by the Board in approving the transaction. If the original projections are met, they will receive 50% of the award. If they exceed the original projections by up to approximately $1.45 billion, they could receive up to 100% of the award. The award is capped at 100%. We are currently on track to exceed the amount required for 100% payout.

Payouts for Mr. Sigman and a portion of the payouts for Mr. Lindner for the 2004-2006 performance period were made pursuant to awards granted by the AT&T Mobility Board in 2004. Mr. Lindner was Chief Financial Officer until mid-2004 and Mr. Sigman has been Chief Executive Officer of AT&T Mobility since 2002. Based on meeting their performance targets, they received a payout of 100% of their performance units. Because the performance units are not tied to equity, the full payout amount is shown under "Non-Equity Incentive Award Compensation" in the Summary Compensation Table. The awards are described in the Narrative Disclosure to the Summary Compensation Table and Grants Of Plan-Based Awards Table under the description of Mr. Sigman's employment contract. In addition, Mr. Sigman's 2004 grant of restricted stock units vested at the end of 2006 and was paid in cash based on the closing price of AT&T stock in February 2007. Mr. Lindner's 2003 and 2004 grants of restricted stock units by AT&T Mobility were converted into AT&T restricted stock when he rejoined AT&T; the 2003 grant vested in 2006 and the 2004 grant will vest in 2007.

Because Mr. Dorman was an executive officer of AT&T Corp at the time of its acquisition, his long-term incentive awards were pro-rated and paid out and his restricted stock was vested immediately after the acquisition in accordance with the acquired company's change in control plans. As a result, he earned no long-term payouts in 2006.

Post-Retirement Benefits As with other large companies, we offer post-retirement benefits to substantially all of our employees, including each of the Named Executive Officers. AT&T also offers supplemental retirement benefits under non-qualified pension plans to officers as a retention tool. Additional information on post-retirement benefits can be found on page 56, in the narrative following the Pension Benefits table.

Deferral Opportunities and Other Benefits We believe in order to remain competitive in the employment market, it is appropriate to offer deferral plans and other benefits. Our deferral plans provide managers with tax advantaged opportunities for savings. In addition, we use our deferral plans as a way to encourage our managers to invest in and hold AT&T stock. Our tax-qualified 401(k) plan offers substantially all employees the opportunity to defer income through a tax advantaged program, including investing in AT&T stock. We match 80% of the employee contributions with a matching contribution, limited to the first 6% of compensation.

Our principal non-tax qualified deferral program is the Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan. Under that plan, mid-level managers and above may annually elect to defer up to 30% of their salary and annual bonus (officer level managers, including the Named Executive Officers, may contribute up to 100% of their annual bonus) into monthly purchases of AT&T stock at fair market value on a deferred basis. For each share purchased, the participant receives two stock options with a grant price equal to the fair market value of the stock when the options are issued. In addition, participants receive matching shares in AT&T stock at substantially the same matching rate as that in the 401(k) plan, unless they elect to receive their match in the 401(k) plan. Officer level employees do not receive matching shares on the contribution of their bonuses to either plan. Managers may also defer the receipt of stock awards under the Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan, but they do not receive stock options or matching contributions in connection with these deferrals.

Managers may also defer cash compensation through the Cash Deferral Plan. Base compensation (salary and bonus) may be contributed only if a 15% contribution is made to the Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan. The Cash Deferral Plan pays interest at the Moody's Long Term Corporate Bond Yield Average, which is a common index used by companies for deferral plans. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires disclosure in the Summary Compensation Table of earnings on deferred compensation that exceed an amount set by the SEC. Our interest rate, over time, approximates the SEC rate.

These plans as well as previous plans are described under the "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation" table.

As a provider of telecommunications and entertainment services, we want all our employees to use our services. As a result we offer these services at reduced or at no cost to employees. Services provided to the Named Executive Officers are at no cost. We also provide various benefits to our officers that are often offered by other companies, such as financial counseling, estate planning, and the use of a car or an equivalent benefit. We pay income and employment taxes that result from these programs, other than car allowances.

We use private aircraft in our business. It provides security to our officers and facilitates doing business while traveling. For the same reasons, we also permit limited occasional use of the aircraft for personal use with approval of the Chief Executive Officer. The officers are responsible for any applicable taxes incurred from the personal use of the aircraft. These personal and other benefits are described in the notes to the Summary Compensation Table, on page 43.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Committee has established stock ownership guidelines for the Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers, and all other officer level employees. The guidelines were increased in 2005 to a minimum level of ownership of five times base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and were continued at the lesser of three times base salary or 50,000 shares for other executive officers and the lesser of one times base salary or 25,000 shares for all other officers. Newly appointed officers are expected to be in compliance with the ownership guidelines within five years of their appointments. We believe all officers subject to these guidelines are in compliance.

Limit on Deductibility of Certain Compensation

Federal income tax law prohibits publicly held companies, such as AT&T, from deducting certain compensation paid to a Named Executive Officer that exceeds $1 million during the tax year. To the extent that compensation is based upon the attainment of performance goals set by the Committee pursuant to plans approved by the stockholders, the compensation is not included in the limit. The Committee intends, to the extent feasible and where it believes it is in the best interests of AT&T and its stockholders, to attempt to qualify executive compensation as tax deductible where it does not adversely affect the Committee's development and execution of effective compensation plans. For example, to enable bonuses and long-term compensation to be deductible, the Committee makes these awards under incentive plans approved by stockholders as much as possible. Similarly, gains on stock option exercises may be deductible if granted under a stockholder approved plan since they are tied to the performance of the Company's stock price. Salaries and other compensation not tied to performance are not deductible to the extent they exceed the $1 million limit.

Policy on Restitution

AT&T's Code of Business Conduct reaffirms the importance of high standards of business ethics. Adherence to these standards by all employees is the best way to ensure compliance and secure public confidence and support. All employees are responsible for their actions and for conducting themselves with integrity. Any failure on the part of any employee to meet any of the standards embodied in this Code of Business Conduct will be subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal.

We reserve the right and, if appropriate, will seek restitution of any bonus, commission, or other compensation received by any employee as a result of the employee's intentional or knowing fraudulent or illegal conduct, including the making of a material misrepresentation contained in the Company's financial statements.

Employment Contracts

We have entered into employment contracts with certain Named Executive Officers. The material provisions of these contracts are discussed in the narrative following the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table, on page 46.

Compensation Committee Report

Although recent changes by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the proxy statement rules have substantially reduced the requirement of a report from the Human Resources Committee, the Committee continues to believe it is important to take this opportunity to express our thoughts on compensation directly to stockholders.

In 2003, the Board of Directors adopted a number of corporate governance initiatives, including a new Code of Ethics, new Corporate Governance Guidelines and a new committee devoted to corporate governance matters and Director nominations. Previously, the Human Resources Committee had carried out many of the new committee's functions, and the Board determined to move all the members of the then Human Resources Committee to the new Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. As a result, new members were appointed to the Human Resources Committee in March 2003.

Upon assuming office in 2003, the current Committee undertook a comprehensive review of the executive compensation program, including the use of salaries, short-term bonuses and long-term incentive awards. The Committee, assisted by consultants, analyzed current compensation trends, studied published recommendations of respected business organizations on the subject of executive compensation, reviewed proxy statements of other companies, and compared our program to those of other leading companies. The Committee also solicited input from former members of the Committee and the Board of Directors. Because annual compensation had been set the preceding January, the new Committee first was able to affect annual compensation in January 2004.

In 2001, the previous Committee initiated and approved an Employment Contract to retain Mr. Whitacre as the Chief Executive Officer of AT&T for a period of five years which coincided with his reaching the normal retirement age of 65. The Employment Contract was subsequently reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, effective November 16, 2001.

During 2004, the Committee conducted a review of the Employment Contract with the assistance of independent outside consultants. The target compensation established in 2001 was analyzed based on 2001 market data, CEO employment agreements for other telecommunication companies and then current market data. Based on this review and the competitive demand for CEOs in the telecommunications industry, the Committee determined that the 2001 target compensation levels were appropriate.

The contract was entered into at a time when telecommunications and technology companies were, in general, performing well and in favor with investors. Equity markets were at an all-time high, which drove compensation packages. Compensation for experienced CEOs was at especially high levels. It was not clear which companies were going to emerge as "winners." Several major companies were searching for new CEOs. The Committee at the time was facing an extraordinarily competitive environment for executives with proven track records in telecommunications and technology.

The provisions of the contract, including the post-retirement benefits and the stipulation that salary and incentive targets not be reduced, were consistent with compensation practice for long-serving and successful CEOs at the time.

In March 2006, this Committee determined it was in the best interest of the stockholders to extend the contract to April 2008, without change, to allow the successful integration of the then completed AT&T Corp acquisition and the then pending BellSouth acquisition. Mr. Whitacre has served as CEO since 1990, an unusually long and successful tenure during which he accumulated benefits over this entire time period. The increase in his compensation for 2006 is directly a result of the increase in the stock

price which rose 46% in 2006. The Committee believes that the continued employment of Mr. Whitacre was a major factor in the Company's success. We believe the Company's current position as the industry leader demonstrates that our confidence in his leadership was justified.

The Committee also found that our compensation programs were sound and consistent with those of other companies of similar size. Our programs enabled us to attract and retain a high quality management team. An individual and business unit performance evaluation system based upon financial and non-financial objectives was in place and rigorously followed. The Committee also determined that there were opportunities to tie the incentive pay of executives more directly to performance and to minimize dilution from equity-based compensation programs.

To make our compensation programs even more beneficial to our stockholders, the Committee implemented certain changes in the compensation program, including:

Replaced stock options and restricted stock with performance shares as long term compensation. Unlike options and restricted stock, performance shares are not only tied in value to the price of the stock, but allow the Committee to require attainment of performance standards as a condition of payment of the award.

Adopted return on invested capital as the principal long-term performance measure in lieu of net income. This change is designed to encourage managers to focus not only on net income, but also on ensuring capital is invested effectively. For the CEO, the Committee used total stockholder return as a performance measure for 25% of his award in order to measure our performance against that of other companies in the industry.

Replaced the Change in Control agreements with a plan that provides, among other things:

- Payment of 2.99 times salary and target bonus upon termination of employment for officers. This change removed long term compensation from the calculation and made the 2.99 multiplier applicable to all officers, where some officers previously had a multiple of three times compensation and others had a multiple of two times compensation - Provided that in a merger of the Company, the change in control is deemed to occur at closing of the transaction, not upon a stockholder vote - Provided that we would only pay excise taxes (and all taxes resulting from the payment of the excise taxes) to the extent the excise taxes were incurred because of prior deferrals of income by an officer.

Reduced the target supplemental retirement percentage to 50% for all new participants.

The Committee has also established a set of principles, set forth in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 32, that the Committee uses in setting compensation.

The Committee also notes that it is aware of allegations at other companies about back-dating of stock options. The Committee disapproves of such conduct and has not found any such impropriety at AT&T. The Company has strong ethical requirements of its employees, including pre-clearance of trading in AT&T stock by officers.

The Human Resources Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on such review and discussions, the Human Resources Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in AT&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Proxy Statement for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1. The amounts in this column do not necessarily represent the value of the awards granted, nor are they a prediction of what will be paid to the employee. The amounts in this column represent the expense taken by the Company in 2006 for portions of stock-based awards granted in 2004, 2005 and 2006 that mature in 2006 or later. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to accrue the expense of the award ratably over the period the award is earned. Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, if the award is payable in stock, we are required to use the grant date value, which may be adjusted for performance in the case of performance shares, without including dividends or any increase in the value of the stock. In contrast, if the award is payable in cash but based on the price of AT&T stock, we are required by these rules to include in the calculation any increase in the price of AT&T stock during 2006 with respect to the accrued portion of the award as well as any dividend equivalents. Simply paying an award in the form of cash creates a significant difference in the amount included in the column for an officer. Because of the 46% increase in the price of AT&T stock during 2006, the amounts reported for awards under this column increased significantly. If the amounts related to the increase in the stock price and the dividend equivalents are excluded, the reported amounts under this column would be as follows: Mr. Whitacre--$26,638,972, Mr. Lindner--$2,094,990, Mr. Sigman--$7,629,320, Mr. Stephenson--$4,339,375, and Mr. Ellis--$4,606,634.

2. Assumptions used for determining the value of the option awards reported in these columns are set forth in the 2006 AT&T Annual Report to Stockholders in footnote 11, "Stock-Based Compensation," on pages 72-74. Because Mr. Sigman's awards were granted by AT&T Mobility, which as a partnership was required to use FAS 133 to value its awards, we have used the same value for Mr. Sigman in this column. 3. The values included in this column, except for Mr. Sigman, represent stock options acquired under the Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan, described in the narrative following the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table Mr. Sigman's amount represents the increase in value of his stock appreciation rights determined under FAS 133. The amounts were determined by AT&T Mobility, which as a partnership was required to use FAS 133. 4. Under this column, we are required to report deferred compensation earnings on salary and other incentive awards that the individual elects to defer where the earnings exceed a market rate specified by Securities and Exchange Commission rules. For the Named Executive Officers, these amounts are as follows: Mr. Whitacre--$268,019, Mr. Lindner--$88,757, Mr. Sigman--$66,009, Mr. Stephenson--$560, and Mr. Ellis--$124,353. All other amounts reported under this heading represent the increase in pension actuarial value. 5. This column includes personal benefits and other items shown in the table below. In valuing personal benefits, AT&T uses the incremental cost to the Company of the benefit. To determine the incremental cost of aircraft usage, we multiply the number of hours of personal flight usage by the average hourly cost of fuel, oil, maintenance and line service and add per flight fees, such as landing, ramp and hangar fees, catering, and crew travel costs. With respect to Mr. Sigman, the incremental cost of aircraft usage was determined by AT&T Mobility by multiplying the number of hours of personal flight usage by the average hourly cost of fuel, oil, maintenance and miscellaneous aircraft expenses.

*We pay recoverable premiums on company-owned split dollar life insurance that provides a specified death benefit to the named executive officer equal to a multiple of his salary as follows:

Mr. Whitacre--4, Mr Ellis--3, all other named executive officers--2, less $50,000 that is provided under the group life insurance plan. We also pay a portion of the premium for optional additional coverage equal to two times salary, except for Mr. Lindner. The policies also provide a benefit to the Company that equals or exceeds all of the premiums paid, thereby allowing the Company to recoup all of the premiums. If the policies are not fully funded upon the retirement of the officer, we continue to pay premiums until they are fully funded. Mr. Dorman did not participate in this program, but had officer-owned insurance provided by AT&T Corp.

6. Consistent with Company policy to encourage ownership of Company stock, certain of the Named Executive Officers deferred portions of their 2006 salary and/or bonus (non-equity incentive awards) into the Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan, described under "Deferral Opportunities and Other Benefits" on page 37, to make monthly purchases of Company stock in the form of stock units based on the price of the underlying AT&T stock as follows: Mr. Whitacre--$126,000, Mr. Lindner--$737,188, Mr. Stephenson--$1,983,563, and Mr. Ellis--$1,172,401. Each unit that the employee purchases is paid out in the form of a share of AT&T stock at the times elected by the employee In addition, the officers received matching contributions and stock options based on the number of share units purchased; the value of the matching contributions is included under "All Other Compensation" and the stock option valuations are included under "Option Awards."

7. All of Mr. Dorman's bonus and $160,000 of Mr. Sigman's bonus were paid solely pursuant to their respective employment agreements.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

Material Factors Affecting 2006 Compensation

The Human Resources Committee uses incentive pay to focus executives on key business objectives and reward officers accordingly. Because of the importance of achieving these objectives, performance-based pay represents a larger portion of compensation compared to salary and discretionary bonuses. An executive's annual bonus and long-term performance share awards are each based on the achievement of business targets chosen by the Committee. In addition, the Committee further ties compensation to the Company's performance through stock based deferral plans offered to mid-level and above managers.

For 2006, financial and operational targets for short-term awards ("Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards") for the Named Executive Officers were based on net income, free cash flow, customer satisfaction and customer churn, weighted 50%, 30%, 10% and 10%, respectively. The Committee established similar targets for non-executive officers. If we did not completely meet established Company objectives, then bonuses would be reduced from the target amount, and could be eliminated if certain minimum performance targets were not met. In addition, the Committee provided for an extraordinary bonus payment of up to 10% of the short-term award if we achieved certain aggressive year-over-year revenue targets, which we did not do. The total payout based on financial performance was capped at 125% of the target opportunity.

Performance shares, shown under "Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards" in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table, above, are granted under the 2001 Incentive Plan or, beginning in 2007, under the 2006 Incentive Plan. Each performance share is equivalent in value to one share of AT&T common stock and is entitled to dividend equivalents equal to dividends on common stock. Payout of the performance shares granted to the Named Executive Officers is subject to achieving certain performance targets, based on return on invested capital, over the 2006-2008 performance period. In prior years, we have typically met the target. At the end of the performance period, the number of performance shares is adjusted for actual performance, resulting in a payout as determined by the Committee ranging from 0% to 150%, depending on the achievement of targets. At payout, the performance shares are converted into AT&T common stock and/or cash, depending on the terms of the grant. The performance shares converted to cash are each valued at the price of a share of AT&T common stock at the date of the approval of the award. The Committee also grants awards having the same terms as performance shares granted under the above plans, including in circumstances where there would be insufficient performance shares under the relevant plan available for such a grant, except that only awards granted under the above plans may be settled in stock. For all other purposes, we do not differentiate between these types of performance share awards.

In the event of the termination of employment of a performance share recipient, unless the recipient is retirement eligible under the Pension Benefit Plan, described under the Pension Benefits table (or is age 55 or older with at least five years of service for officer level recipients), the recipient may receive no more than a pro-rata portion of the award. Payouts to retirees are not affected by a termination of employment.

In setting Mr. Whitacre's long-term compensation, the Committee provided that 75% of his performance shares would be tied to return on invested capital as noted above, and the remaining 25% would be based on the comparison of AT&T's total stockholder return (stock appreciation plus reinvestment of dividends) to that of companies in the North American Telecom Index, excluding equipment manufacturers and companies with a market capitalization of under $5 billion, but adding

several cable company competitors not in the Index. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides a chart, on page 35, presenting potential payouts based on total stockholder return.

Employment Contracts for Certain Executives

Mr. Whitacre's and Mr. Sigman's compensation is determined based on their respective employment contracts, as discussed below. Pension benefits and certain other benefits the Named Executive Officers would receive upon termination of employment are described following the Pension Benefits table. Similarly, deferred amounts available to the Named Executive Officers if they terminate employment are described in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.

Mr. Whitacre's Employment Contract To retain Mr. Whitacre's availability during the integration of acquisitions of Pacific Telesis and Ameritech completed in 1997 and 1999, respectively, we entered into an employment contract with Mr. Whitacre in 2001 to act as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The contract was for a five-year term ending November 15, 2006. In March 2006, the contract's termination date was extended to April 2008 in order to allow Mr. Whitacre to oversee the integration of AT&T Corp. and BellSouth. The contract may be terminated during Mr. Whitacre's employment only upon (a) the expiration of the term of the contract, (b) his death, (c) his resignation, or (d) his termination of employment for cause.

During the term of the employment contract, Mr. Whitacre's base salary, target bonus, and target value of long-term awards will not be less than those values in effect for calendar year 2001. The compensation at that time was set using the 75th percentile of the market, determined as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 33. Mr. Whitacre's bonus and long-term award are not guaranteed, but are subject to attainment of performance objectives. We granted Mr. Whitacre options under the contract to acquire 2,500,000 of AT&T common shares at $39.13 per share. These options expire in 2011. Three-fifths of the options vested on the third anniversary of the contract, and the rest vested on the fifth anniversary. Following termination of employment, under his employment contract Mr. Whitacre will be entitled to receive for life (except as otherwise noted):

     Automobile benefits (estimated at $24,000 annually)
     Access to our corporate aircraft, up to 10 hours of usage per month (estimated incremental monthly cost of $20,000)
     Use of office facilities and support staff (we do not expect to incur any additional incremental cost)
     Home security (estimated at $6,500 annually)
     Payment of applicable taxes resulting from these benefits, except for use of the aircraft (estimated at $19,000 annually), and
     During his life and that of his spouse, health and welfare benefits equal to those which he received while employed. Included in these benefits are those described under "Other Post-Retirement Benefits".

Under the contract, after he leaves our Company, Mr. Whitacre will provide consulting services and advice to us for three years in exchange for an annual fee equal to 50% of his annual salary at retirement ($1,050,000). If Mr. Whitacre receives a change in control payment under the Change in Control Severance Plan on page 62, his employment term will immediately expire, and the consulting term will be extended by the same period the employment term was reduced. We also agreed to provide to Mr. Whitacre, during his consulting service, the same benefits he received as an employee. These benefits are the same benefits he would receive as a retiree as well as the following:

Club memberships (estimated at $25,000 annually) and
Payment of applicable taxes resulting from these benefits (estimated at $15,600 annually).

If we terminate Mr. Whitacre's employment without cause before the end of the term or if he is unable to perform his duties because of disability or accident, his contract entitles him to continue to receive his salary, target bonus, long-term target award, and other benefits through the end of the contract's term, as if he were still employed with us.

Mr. Sigman's Employment Contract Mr. Sigman is Chief Executive Officer of AT&T Mobility LLC, our cellular service provider. Before the acquisition of BellSouth in 2006, AT&T Mobility, then known as Cingular Wireless LLC, was a joint venture of AT&T and BellSouth, each of which appointed half of the Directors and managers of AT&T Mobility. Each of the members of AT&T Mobility's Board of Directors was a manager of either AT&T or BellSouth. To secure Mr. Sigman's services, AT&T Mobility entered into contracts with Mr. Sigman for his compensation, the most recent of which was entered in June 2005. His compensation was set by the Cingular Board (now AT&T Mobility Board) based upon market rates for Mr. Sigman's position, as established from market studies for similar positions at other comparable companies, discounted to take into account that AT&T Mobility was not a public company.

Mr. Sigman's contract provides for a retention benefit in the form of a grant of restricted stock units valued at $5 million at the time of grant. Each unit was equal in value to either a share of AT&T stock (representing 60% of the units in value) or a share of BellSouth stock (representing 40% of the units in value). The units provide for dividend equivalent payments in cash. The restricted stock units vest on December 31, 2007, and are payable in cash based on the closing price of the stock on December 31, 2007. The grant is forfeited if Mr. Sigman's employment terminates prior to December 31, 2007, for any reason other than his death, disability or in the event of termination by AT&T Mobility other than for cause. If Mr. Sigman's employment had terminated due to death or disability or been terminated by AT&T Mobility other than for cause at the end of 2006, he would have been entitled to receive the retention benefit in a lump sum amount of $8,132,696. The contract also provides for an annual salary of at least $1,105,000, with a target bonus of 125% of salary and a long-term target equal to 475% of Mr. Sigman's salary. Mr. Sigman is also entitled to receive incentive payments of $675,000 in June 2005, and $160,000 in November of each of 2005, 2006 and 2007. Because he was required to move to Georgia to take the position, AT&T Mobility pays Mr. Sigman an amount equal to the Georgia state income tax and all state and Federal taxes resulting from the Georgia state tax payments, calculated at the highest marginal rate, on all Mr. Sigman's compensation subject to Georgia tax, except for the retention grant. AT&T Mobility also agreed to pay Mr. Sigman's Federal income tax on $60,000 of his annual $160,000 incentive payments. Other information regarding the contract's post-retirement provisions is discussed in connection with Pension Benefits on page 57.

Mr. Sigman's 2006 target bonus was determined by the AT&T Mobility Board and was based on AT&T Mobility's rate of penetration (25%), average revenue per unit (25%), operating income per potential customer (25%) and branded churn (25%). AT&T Mobility met each of these targets except for average revenue per unit. He was paid a bonus of 120% of his target award based on a predetermined

formula. Under his contract, he also received an incentive payment of $160,000 that is shown in the bonus column. In addition, the Committee awarded him a discretionary bonus of $200,000.

In 2006, AT&T Mobility's Board of Directors approved long-term grants under the AT&T Mobility Long Term Compensation Plan. Mr. Sigman received AT&T and BellSouth performance stock units and restricted stock units. Each unit is equal in value to either a share of AT&T stock (representing 50% of the units in value) or a share of BellSouth stock (representing 50% of the units in value). All BellSouth units have been converted to AT&T units as a result of the acquisition of BellSouth. The units provide for dividend equivalent payments in cash. The total value of Mr. Sigman's long-term grant was based on market value as determined by market surveys of other comparable companies. Like other elements of AT&T Mobility's compensation program, the market values are targeted to the 50th percentile of comparable rates, discounted to consider that AT&T Mobility is not a public company. Payout of the performance stock units is subject to attainment of AT&T Mobility's earnings before interest and taxes return on capital ("EBIT ROC"). We believe these targets are reasonable, and expect our officers to achieve these targets although no assurance of success can be given. Payouts range from 0% to 150%, based on performance. At payout, the number of units are adjusted for performance and the resulting number of units are converted to cash based on the price of AT&T stock at payout. Restricted stock units vest on December 31, 2008, and payment is made in cash based on the closing stock prices in February 2009. Should Mr. Sigman retire, or should his employment terminate due to death or disability prior to the end of 2008, the restricted stock units and the performance stock units are pro-rated for the period of time worked during the 2006-2008 calendar years. If Mr. Sigman had retired, or his employment had terminated due to death or disability, at the end of 2006, he would have been entitled to a lump sum payment of $11,234,935, representing the pro-rated amounts of his outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units (assuming payout at 100%).

In 2006, Mr. Sigman, as well as Mr. Lindner, completed the performance period for performance units granted by AT&T Mobility in 2004 for the 2004 to 2006 performance period. As with the performance units granted in 2006, the performance measure for the performance units was AT&T Mobility's EBIT ROC, with a potential payout ranging from 0% to 150%. The Company met the performance measures and paid out at 100%. Mr. Sigman's 2004 grant of restricted stock units vested at the end of 2006 and was paid in cash based on the closing prices of AT&T stock in February 2007.

Mr. Dorman's Employment Agreement Before our acquisition of AT&T Corp ("Old AT&T") in November 2005 (at that time, we were known as SBC Communications Inc.), Mr. Dorman's compensation was set by Old AT&T. At the time of the January 30, 2005, agreement to acquire Old AT&T, we also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dorman, then the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Old AT&T. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Dorman was elected as a Director and President of our Company at the November 18, 2005, closing of our acquisition of Old AT&T. He resigned as a Director and President in January 2006. Mr. Dorman received no compensation as a Director, but under the agreement he was entitled to an annual base salary equal to at least the amount of his annual base salary for 2005. Because of his short tenure with the Company in 2006, he received a pro-rata portion of his target bonus under his agreement. He continued to receive his annual salary of $1,370,000 until the termination of his employment.

Upon the merger's completion, all of Mr. Dorman's options to purchase shares of Old AT&T common stock were converted into vested AT&T Inc. options, and as provided by the Old AT&T plans, will each remain exercisable for the remainder of its full term as provided by the option's terms at grant. In addition, all other Old AT&T equity-based or other long or short-term incentive awards held by Mr. Dorman were vested or paid out, as the case may be, and any performance awards were pro-rated and distributed as provided by their terms. Mr. Dorman was also eligible to participate on the same terms as

peer executives of our Company and our affiliates in all of our long-term incentive plans. Because of the termination of his employment, however, no further awards were granted. Mr. Dorman was also entitled to participate in employee benefit and perquisite arrangements no less favorable than those generally applicable or made available to peer executives of our Company and, during the first six months of the term, those generally applicable or made available to Mr. Dorman before completion of the acquisition.

Per Mr. Dorman's agreement, because he terminated his employment with us during the first six months of the agreement's term, he received payments of approximately $11,165,483. These payments represented amounts that Mr. Dorman would have been entitled to receive under any plan, agreement or program of Old AT&T (other than his Old AT&T pensions) had his employment been terminated without cause immediately after completion of the merger. The agreement also provided that he would receive:

     Vesting and full-term exercisability (as provided by their terms) for all AT&T equity-based awards;
     Payment of an annual annuity calculated as 60% of his final three-year average total cash compensation, less offsets from other Old AT&T pension benefit plans, which annuity equals $2,247,978 under his amended supplemental retirement arrangement with Old AT&T, with a 50% survivor annuity payable to Mr. Dorman's spouse;
     Lifetime medical and dental benefits for him and his family on the same terms and at the same cost as such benefits would have been provided had Mr. Dorman terminated employment immediately before completion of the merger (estimated to cost $14,385 per year);
     Health coverage that would be available under our group plans, but which is not available under the AT&T Corp. plans (estimated to cost $7,070 per year through 2007);
     Company paid premiums for life under our supplemental health care plan (estimated cost to the Company, above required contributions from the employee, is $6,461 annually);
     Secretarial support and office space for five years. (We lease space and provide a secretary as part of his 3-year consulting arrangement, described below. After that, we consider the space and the salary and bonus of the secretary to be personal benefits with an incremental cost to the Company estimated to be $145,000 per year).

Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Dorman entered into a consulting agreement with us whereby Mr. Dorman will provide consulting services, as our Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer may reasonably request, during the three years after Mr. Dorman's termination. In consideration for providing those services, Mr. Dorman was granted 400,000 shares of our restricted stock that will vest in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. If Mr. Dorman's consulting services are terminated during the term of the consulting agreement because of his death, disability or by us other than for cause, the restrictions on the then remaining shares of restricted stock, if any, will immediately lapse. If Mr. Dorman voluntarily terminates the consulting agreement or we terminate the agreement for cause, then Mr. Dorman will forfeit any unvested shares of restricted stock.

Mr. Dorman's agreement provides for certain post-employment obligations. Under the agreement, Mr. Dorman is restricted, during his employment and consultancy, from revealing any of our confidential information and, if we terminate Mr. Dorman's employment or consultancy for cause, for one year after such termination. In addition, for one year after termination, Mr. Dorman may not solicit for employment any of our employees and may not compete with us. Mr. Dorman also received $14,166,969 under the agreement to offset certain excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, so that he would remain in the same after-tax position he would have been in had the excise tax not been imposed.

These options are granted based upon the amount of participation by mid level and above managers in the Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan, described in the Narrative to the Summary Compensation Table and the Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table. These options each expire 10 years after the grant date (unless shortened by the prior termination of employment of the holder).
5/1/2007, 4/1/2008, 4/1/2009, 1/28/2010, 1/26/2011, 11/16/2011, 1/25/2012, 1/31/2013	One-third of the options in each grant vested on the yearly anniversary of the grant. These options each expire 10 years after the grant date (unless shortened by the prior termination of employment of the holder).
11/16/2011	Three-fifths of these options vested 11/16/2004, and two-fifths vested 11/16/2006.

Mr. Dorman's options each expire 10 years after the grant date. One-fourth of the options in each grant vested on the yearly anniversary of the grant, except for the options that expire 9/19/12, one-fourth of which vested on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant and the remaining one-half vested on the third anniversary.

2. Shares and values in the unvested awards columns represent restricted stock units (Mr. Sigman) or restricted stock (Mr. Lindner). Mr. Sigman's award vests on December 31 of the last year of the respective restriction period Mr. Lindner's award vests on April 1, 2007. Any payment of restricted stock units is subject to the discretion of AT&T Mobility to cancel or reduce an award prior to payout.

3. Performance shares (including Mr. Sigman's performance stock units) in these columns are earned as of December 31 of the respective performance period set forth opposite the respective shares and values. Performance shares are paid out the following January upon approval of the Human Resources Committee.

4. The number of performance shares (and one grant of performance stock units in the case of Mr. Sigman) and related values as of December 31, 2006, represent the maximum possible award payout, not the award that was granted We are required by SEC rules to report these amounts in this manner if the previous fiscal year's performance exceeded the target performance, even if it is by a small amount and it is highly unlikely that we will pay the maximum amount. AT&T Mobility's previous fiscal year performance did not exceed the target amounts, so we are reporting Mr. Sigman's award at target.

1. Pension benefits reflected in the above table were determined using the methodology and material assumptions set forth in the 2006 AT&T Annual Report to Stockholders in footnote 10, "Pension and Postretirement Benefits," on pages 66-72, except that, as required by SEC regulations, the assumed retirement age is the specified normal retirement age in the plan unless the plan provides a younger age at which benefits may be received without a discount based on age, in which case the younger age is used. For the Pension Benefit Plan, the assumed retirement age is the date a participant is at least age 55 and meets the "modified rule of 75," which requires certain combinations of age and service that total at least 75. For the AT&T Mobility and Old AT&T cash balance plans the assumed retirement age is 65. For the other plans, the assumed retirement age is the date they reach age 60 or have 30 years of service (the age at which an employee may retire without discounts for age). If they have already surpassed the earlier of these dates, then the assumed retirement age is December 31, 2006.

2. Before Mr. Lindner became Chief Financial Officer of AT&T Mobility, he was employed by AT&T and accrued a benefit under the Pension Benefit Plan. This benefit was transferred to the AT&T Mobility plan when he joined AT&T Mobility in 2001, with service credited back to his original start date at AT&T. When he transferred back to AT&T in 2004, his AT&T Mobility benefit ceased accruing pay credits, and he again participated in the Pension Benefit Plan. For the purpose of retirement eligibility, Mr. Lindner immediately received credit in the Pension Benefit Plan for all prior service upon returning to AT&T in 2004. For purposes of SERP/SRIP, all his service with AT&T Mobility and AT&T will be counted.

3. Mr. Sigman took a total distribution of his benefit in the Pension Benefit Plan when he transferred to AT&T Mobility in 2002. The distributed amount will count as an offset to his SRIP/SERP benefit.

Pension Benefits and Other Post Employment Compensation

Qualified Pension Plan Like other large companies, we offer post-retirement benefits, in various forms, to nearly all our managers. Our Pension Benefit Plan, a "qualified pension plan" under the Internal Revenue Code, covers each of the Named Executive Officers, except for Mr. Sigman, who receives benefits under the AT&T Mobility plan. The plan's current accrual formula for individuals hired before January 1, 2007, which is referred to as the "Career Average Minimum" or "CAM" benefit, provides an

annual benefit equal to the participant's average compensation (generally, base pay, commissions, and annual bonuses, but not bonuses paid to officers) for the five years ended December 31, 1999, multiplied by the number of years of service through the end of the averaging period, plus 1.6% of the participant's pension-eligible compensation thereafter. The plan includes a cash balance formula that was frozen on January 14, 2005. The cash balance formula provided an accrual equal to 5% of pension-eligible compensation plus monthly interest credits on the participant's cash balance account. The interest rate is equal to the published average annual yield for the 30-year Treasury Bond, reset quarterly as of the middle of the preceding quarter. Participants receive the greater of the benefit determined under the CAM formula or the frozen cash balance formula. The plan also permits participants to take the benefit in various actuarially equivalent forms, including a regular annuity or, to a limited extent, a lump sum calculated as the present value of the annuity. For individuals hired on or after January 1, 2007, the pension benefit described in the preceding sentences has been replaced by an age-graded cash balance formula.

As an employee of AT&T Mobility, Mr. Sigman is covered by a qualified pension plan offered by AT&T Mobility. Participants in the plan are generally entitled to receive a cash balance benefit equal to the monthly basic benefit credits of 5% of the participant's compensation (generally, base pay, commissions and group incentive awards, but not individual awards) plus monthly interest credits on the participant's cash balance account. The interest rate for cash balance credits is equal to the published average annual yield for the 30-year Treasury Bond, reset quarterly as of the middle of the preceding quarter. Mr. Lindner, who was Chief Financial Officer for AT&T Mobility until 2004, has a balance in the AT&T Mobility plan but is no longer accruing benefits, although his pension benefit continues to receive monthly interest credits.

Nonqualified Pension Plans Highly paid employees are limited by tax law in the amount of benefit they may receive under a qualified pension plan. As is customary with other large companies, we offer our officers supplemental retirement benefits as an additional retention tool. Benefits under these nonqualified pension plans are reduced by any benefits due under a qualified pension plan. These supplemental benefits are neither funded by nor are a part of the qualified pension plan. Each of the Named Executive Officers is eligible to receive these benefits. Mr. Dorman's pension is described below under "Pensions Applicable to Mr. Dorman."

As a result of changes in the tax laws, beginning December 31, 2004, participants ceased accruing benefits based on service or compensation under the original supplemental plan, known as the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan ("SRIP"). Future benefits are earned under the 2005 Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan ("SERP"). Participants make separate distribution elections (annuity or lump sum) for benefits accrued before 2005 (under the SRIP) and for benefits accrued during and after 2005 (under the SERP). Elections for the portion of the pension that accrues in and after 2005, however, must be made when the officer first participates in the plan.

Under the nonqualified pension plan, a target annual retirement benefit is established, stated as a percentage of a participant's annual salary and annual incentive bonus averaged over a specified averaging period described below. The percentage is increased by 0.715% for each year of actual service in excess of, or decreased by 1.43% (0.715% for midcareer hires) for each year of actual service below, 30 years of service for executive and other officers and 35 years of service for eligible senior managers. In the event the participant retires before reaching age 60, a discount of 0.5% for each month remaining until the participant attains age 60 is applied to reduce the amount payable under this plan, except for officers who have 30 years or more of service at the time of retirement.

Currently, Mr. Whitacre, Mr. Sigman and Mr. Ellis are eligible to retire without the age discount. Benefits are reduced for any amounts they receive under the qualified pension plan. The salary and bonus

used to determine their nonqualified pension amount is the average of their salaries and actual annual incentive bonuses earned during the 36-consecutive-month period, during the prior 120 months preceding retirement, that results in the highest average earnings. For Mr. Sigman and Mr. Lindner, this average includes compensation earned while at AT&T Mobility. In some cases the Human Resources Committee may require the use of the target bonus, or a portion of the actual or target bonus, if it believes the actual bonus is not appropriate. The target percentage for the Chief Executive Officer is 75%, and for other Named Executive Officers the target percentage ranges from 55% to 70%. Beginning in 2006, the target percentage is limited to 50% for all new participants.

Participants may receive benefits as an annuity payable for the greater of the life of the participant or 10 years. In the latter case, if the participant dies within 10 years after leaving the Company, then payments for the balance of the 10 years will be paid to the participant's beneficiary. Alternatively, the participant may elect to have the annuity payable for life with 100% or 50% payable upon his death to his beneficiary for the beneficiary's life. The amounts paid under each alternative (and the lump sum alternative described below) are actuarially equivalent. As noted above, separate distribution elections are made for pre-2005 benefits and 2005 and later benefits.

If they are at least age 55 upon termination of employment, participants may elect to receive the actuarially determined net present value of the benefit as a lump sum, rather than in the form of an annuity. Participants may also elect to defer distribution of a portion or all of their lump sum benefit. Those who elect to defer any portion must also elect the time period, not to exceed 20 years after they leave the Company, and the manner in which the lump sum will be paid. The participant is not permitted to receive more than 30% of the lump sum benefit before the third anniversary of the termination of employment, unless he or she is at least 60 years old at termination, in which case the participant may receive 100% of the lump sum benefit as early as six months after the termination of employment. Participants receiving their entire lump sum after six months from their termination must enter into a written noncompetition agreement with us and agree to forfeit and repay the lump sum if they breach that agreement. Regardless of the payment form, no benefits under the SERP are payable until six months after termination of employment.

The nonqualified pension pays only the difference, if any, between the target amount and the total amounts payable under the Pension Benefit Plan and the AT&T Mobility qualified plan calculated as if the benefits under these plans were paid in the form of an immediate annuity for life.

Pensions Applicable to Mr. Dorman Mr. Dorman is covered by the AT&T Corp. ("Old AT&T") Management Pension Plan, a non-contributory, cash balance pension plan. Each year Mr. Dorman's cash balance account was credited with (a) a pay credit based on his age and base pay for that year, which for Mr. Dorman was 8% for an amount up to the social security wage base and 16% thereafter, and (b) an interest credit based on the participant's account balance as of the end of the prior year. The interest rate was 7% for 1999 and 2000, 5.5% for 2001 and 2002, and 4% thereafter. As a result of our acquisition of Old AT&T, Mr. Dorman received additional credits to his cash balance plan equal to 5% of his 2004 eligible pay multiplied by the number of whole years of service (five years for Mr. Dorman) as of the last day of the month in which the change in control occurred, plus interest until termination of employment. This additional credit will not count against payments under his SERP.

Pension amounts that exceed Federal limitations that would otherwise be paid under the cash balance plan are restored from the general funds of Old AT&T under the terms of the Old AT&T Excess Compensation and Benefits Plan.

Mr. Dorman is also covered by the Old AT&T Non-Qualified Pension Plan, a supplement to the Management Pension Plan. Under this plan, annual pensions for officers are computed under the preceding cash balance design, but are based on actual annual bonus awards.

Finally, Mr. Dorman receives an annuity of $2,247,978 per year under his amended supplemental retirement arrangement with Old AT&T. Under his employment agreement with AT&T, his annuity equals 60% of his final three-year average total cash compensation, with a 50% survivor annuity payable to Mr. Dorman's spouse, reduced by payments under the other pension plans described above.

Other Post-Retirement Benefits Named Executive Officers who retire after age 55 with at least five years of service or who are retirement eligible under the qualified pension plan using the "modified rule of 75," which permits retirement if certain combinations of age and service exceed 75, receive the following for life, subject to amendment. Benefits applicable to managers generally are omitted. Mr. Whitacre, Mr. Sigman and Mr. Ellis are currently eligible to receive these benefits at retirement (under Mr. Whitacre's contract, he will receive these benefits for life):

Personal Benefits	Payments (valued at our incremental cost)
Financial counseling	Maximum of $14,000 per year
Financial counseling provided in connection with retirement	Up to $20,000
Estate planning	Maximum of $25,000 over a 3 year rolling period
Other (communications)	Estimated $1,500 annually
Supplemental health insurance premiums	Estimated $10,548 annually, above required contributions from employee

We will pay applicable taxes resulting from the provisions of the personal benefits, except for Company paid supplemental health insurance premiums, for each retired Named Executive Officer. If the executive had retired on December 31, 2006, we would have made annual tax reimbursements for benefits paid after retirement estimated to be $15,000 for each of Mr. Whitacre, Mr. Sigman and Mr. Ellis.

In the event of the death or termination of employment of a manager, the manager's restricted stock vests and all performance shares pay out at 100%. These are the same amounts a manager would receive in a change in control as noted on page 63.

1. The amounts represent the compensation the employee earned but elected to defer. This may include the deferral of salary, discretionary bonus, short- and/or long-term incentive compensation. Of the compensation shown in the 2006 Summary Compensation Table, only salary paid in 2006 is included in the "Executive Contributions" column above. Because annual bonus (including incentive award) amounts in the Summary Compensation Table are not paid until 2007, they may not be contributed to a deferral plan before that time and are not included in the above table. Deferrals of incentive compensation include bonuses and incentives payable in 2006, but earned in prior years. The following amounts were deferred from salary in 2006: Mr. Whitacre--$126,000, Mr. Lindner--$201,688, Mr. Sigman--$345,750, Mr Stephenson--$283,563, and Mr. Ellis--$245,401. 2. Registrant (AT&T) Contributions that were made in 2006 are also reported under the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table. 3. Aggregate Earnings, which include interest, dividends and dividend equivalents, are included under the "Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings" column of the Summary Compensation Table only to the extent they exceed the SEC market rate, as shown in Footnote 4 to the Summary Compensation Table.

Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan ("SPDP") Under the SPDP and its predecessor plan, mid-level and above managers may annually elect to defer up to 30% of their salary and annual bonus. Officer level managers, including the Named Executive Officers, may contribute up to 100% of their annual bonus. In addition, the Human Resources Committee may approve other contributions to the plan. These deferrals are used to make monthly purchases of AT&T stock at fair market value on a deferred basis. For each share purchased, the participant receives two stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock when the options are issued. For officers, options are issued on bonus contributions only up to their target bonuses. In addition, unless they receive Company matching contributions in our 401(k) plan, SPDP participants receive matching shares in AT&T stock at substantially the same matching rate as that in the 401(k) plan: 80% match for the first 6% of salary and bonus. Officer level employees do not receive matching shares on the contribution of their bonuses. Managers may also defer the receipt of stock awards in the plan, but they do not receive stock options or matching contributions in connection with these deferrals.

Cash Deferral Plan Managers who elect at least a 15% contribution in the SPDP may also defer up to 50% (25% in the case of mid-level managers) of their salary and bonus through the Cash Deferral Plan. Officer level managers may defer 100% of their bonus. Managers may also defer any part of a distribution of performance shares paid in cash, regardless of any contribution to the SPDP. In addition, the Human Resources Committee may approve other contributions to the plan. We pay interest at the Moody's Long Term Corporate Bond Yield Average for the preceding September (the "Moody's rate"), a common index used by companies. Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we include in the Summary Compensation Table under "Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings" any earnings on deferred compensation that exceed a rate determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Moody's Rate, over time, approximates the SEC rate.

AT&T Mobility Cash Deferral Plan Mr. Sigman participates in the AT&T Mobility Cash Deferral Plan, a non-qualified, executive deferred compensation plan. The plan permits officers and senior managers to defer between 6% and 50% of their base pay and between 6% and 75% of their annual bonus and long-term compensation awards into the plan. The Company provides a match equal to 80% of 6% of the amount deferred by the participant. The plan also provides an additional match when participants' compensation exceeds Internal Revenue Service qualified plan limits. Benefits under the plan are unfunded. "Account balances" earn an interest rate of return based on Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average as reported by Moody's for the month ending two months prior to the month in which participants make their annual deferral elections under the plan. This rate is reset each year. Distributions occur according to employee elections. AT&T Mobility adopted a successor plan, known as the 2005 Cash Deferral Plan, having substantially the same terms as the original plan except with respect to the timing of deferral and distribution elections. Because of the identical nature of the plans, they are treated as one plan in the table.

Certain Named Executive Officers have also participated in deferred compensation plans that are now closed to additional contributions and are described below.

Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan of 1988 Eligible managers were permitted to make elections under this plan and a related plan for mid-level managers (both nonqualified plans) to defer, over four year deferral periods, between 6% and 30% of their eligible compensation. No new deferral periods could be started after 1990. Participant contributions were matched in this plan or the company's 401(k) plan at the same rate that applied under the 401(k) plan. Account balances are credited with interest at a rate, determined annually by the Company, that shall not be less than the Moody's rate. Distributions occur according to employee elections.

Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan Eligible managers were permitted to make elections to defer, over eight year deferral periods, between 6% and 30% of their eligible compensation to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. This plan was started in 1984 and no new deferral periods could be started after 1987. Participant contributions were matched in this plan or the Company's 401(k) plan at the same rate that applied under the 401(k) plan. This plan provides a defined benefit, equivalent to between 14% and 15% interest, at termination of employment if the participant terminates employment after reaching age 55. If the age and service conditions are not satisfied at termination of employment, the participant's benefit is the amount contributed (including Company match) plus interest at 8%, compounded annually.

Under the Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan of 1988 and the Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan, after the participant dies, an additional benefit is payable to the surviving spouse for the duration of his or her life in an amount equal to two-thirds of the participant's standard retirement benefit, beginning once the standard retirement benefit payments have ended. If the Named Executive Officers had died at the end of 2006, their surviving spouses would have been entitled to monthly benefits as follows (beginning in December 2021 or, for Mr. Lindner, in December 2024): Mr. Whitacre--$57,171, Mr. Sigman--$24,621, Mr. Ellis--$43,093 and Mr. Lindner--$11,165.

Salary and Incentive Award Deferral Plan Eligible managers were permitted to make elections to participate in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allowed annual deferrals of up to 50% of base pay (conditioned upon deferring at least 30% of their base pay to the Company's nonqualified stock deferral plan) and up to 100% of an incentive award and any other award approved by the Human Resources Committee. No deferrals were permitted to be made after 2004. Account balances are credited with interest at a rate, determined annually by the Company, that shall not be less than the Moody's rate. Distributions occur according to employee elections.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Change in Control An acquisition in our industry can take a year or more to complete, and during that time it is critical that the Company have access to its leadership. If we are in the process of being acquired, our officers may have concerns about their employment with the new company. Our Change in Control Severance Plan offers benefits so that our officers may focus on the Company's business without the distraction of searching for new employment. The Change in Control Severance Plan covers our officers, including each of the Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Dorman. The plan became effective January 1, 2007, but for purposes of this discussion will be treated as if it was in effect on December 31, 2006. The plan replaced individual severance agreements that expired December 31, 2006.

The Change in Control Severance Plan offers benefits to an officer who is terminated or otherwise leaves our Company for "good reason" after a change in control. These benefits include a payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of the executive's most recent salary and target bonus. Each covered officer will also be provided, at no cost to him or her, with life and health benefits, including supplemental medical, vision and dental benefits, substantially similar to those benefits provided prior to termination, for a period of three years after the executive's employment ends or until the end of the year he or she turns 65, whichever is earlier. Each covered officer will also be treated as retired for purposes of receiving financial counseling benefits. We believe that these benefits are competitive with the benefits offered by comparable companies. Retirement eligible officers are eligible for certain of these benefits as part of their post-employment benefits (see "Other Post-Retirement Benefits" following the Pension Benefits table for more information). The estimated annual incremental costs of these benefits that would have been provided if the Named Executive Officers had left for "good reason" under the plan at the end of 2006, above amounts that would have been incurred as post-retirement benefits outside of the plan, are outlined in the table below (no amounts are shown for Mr. Whitacre since he has already attained age 65):

Additional Costs of Benefits Under the Change in Control Severance Plan
	Health Benefits	Life Insurance	Financial Counseling
Richard G. Lindner	$27,242	$ 0	$22,300
Stanley T. Sigman	6,525	45,683	0
Randall L. Stephenson	27,242	45,575	22,300
James D. Ellis	6,525	40,910	0

"Good reason" means, in general, assignment of duties inconsistent with the executive's title or status; a substantial adverse change in the nature or status of the executive's responsibilities; a reduction in pay; or failure to pay compensation or continue benefits. The employment of our Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel is unlikely to be continued at the new company if we are acquired. For each of these executives, "good reason" also means a good faith determination by the executive within 90 days of the change in control that he or she is not able to discharge his or her duties effectively.

Under the plan, a change in control occurs if: (a) anyone (other than one of our employee benefit plans) acquires more than 20% of AT&T's common stock, (b) within a two-year period, the Directors at the beginning of the period (together with any new Directors elected or nominated for election by a two-thirds majority of Directors then in office who were Directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease to constitute a majority of the Board, (c) upon consummation of a merger where AT&T Inc. is one of the merging entities and where persons other than the AT&T stockholders immediately before the merger hold more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, or (d) upon our stockholders' approval of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets.

In addition, under the terms of performance share awards granted in 2005 and 2006 (and Mr. Lindner's restricted stock grant), if a change in control occurs under the terms of the 2001 Incentive Plan, the grants would immediately vest and become payable to the executive at 100% of their target amounts, whether or not the executive's employment was terminated. A change in control under the 2001 Incentive Plan occurs under substantially the same circumstances as those under the Change in Control Severance Plan, described in (a) through (d) of the preceding paragraph, except that with respect to (c), a change in control is deemed to occur upon stockholder approval of a merger where AT&T Inc. is one of the merging entities and where persons other than the AT&T stockholders immediately before the merger hold more than 20% of the voting power of the surviving entity. Had a change in control occurred under the 2001 Incentive Plan at the end of 2006, the Named Executive Officers would be entitled to the following payout of the forgoing awards at the regular distribution times: Mr. Whitacre--$67,596,958, Mr. Lindner--$7,843,872 (includes the value of Mr. Lindner's restricted stock grant that would vest in the form of shares), Mr. Stephenson--$12,610,598 and Mr. Ellis--$12,463,272.

If a change in control and termination of employment of the Named Executive Officers had occurred at the end of 2006 in accordance with the Change in Control Severance Plan, the following estimated severance payments and tax reimbursements would have been paid in a lump sum:

Change in Control Severance Payments
Name	Severance	Tax Reimbursements
Edward E. Whitacre, Jr.	$23,322,000	$20,066,404
Richard G. Lindner	4,784,000	152,985
Stanley T. Sigman	7,871,175	0
Randall L. Stephenson	7,923,500	309,767
James D. Ellis	5,232,500	4,728,907

Other Termination Payments Upon termination of employment our officers are entitled to their accrued pensions and the distribution of their prior deferrals of earned compensation along with any earnings and appreciation on the deferred compensation. Other post retirement benefits that would be paid to the Named Executive Officers are described in the narrative following the Pension Benefits table and in the description of Mr. Whitacre's and Mr. Sigman's compensation in the Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan Based Awards Table. Death benefits are described in the narratives for the respective plans throughout this document.
