This statement on Schedule 13D (this 13D) is being filed to amend the statement on Schedule 13G of AT&T Inc. (AT&T) and AT&T International, Inc. (AT&TI) filed on February 14, 1992 (as amended on February 15, 1995, March 28, 2001 and February 12, 2007) relating to the L Shares (as defined below).

(f) The Reporting Persons are incorporated in the State of Delaware. Each executive officer and director of the Reporting Persons is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The Reporting Persons initially acquired the AA Shares for cash on February 13, 1992.
-4-
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The Reporting Persons shares in the Issuer were acquired for the purpose of investment, although the group that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a part of may be deemed to have acquired their shares for other purposes based on the purpose for which Carlos Slim Helú, Carlos Slim Domit, Marco Antonio Slim Domit, Patrick Slim Domit, Maria Soumaya Slim Domit, Vanessa Paola Slim Domit and Johanna Monique Slim Domit (collectively, the Slim Family) and the Mexican Trust that holds AA Shares and L Shares for which the Slim Family is a beneficiary (the Control Trust) acquired its shares and such group may be deemed to control the Issuer. On December 20, 2000, CGT and AT&TI entered into the Shareholders Agreement, and on March 28, 2001, CGT and AT&TI established a trust by entering into a Trust Agreement, which govern the ownership and voting of any and all future AA Shares owned by such parties.
Under the terms of the Telmex Agreements, each of CGT and AT&TI agreed to vote its AA Shares in favor of 13 members nominated by CGT to the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board) and four members nominated by AT&TI to the Board (or in similar proportion if the holders of AA Shares are unable to elect 17 members of the Board); provided that upon the reduction of the number of members of the Board to 13, AT&TI shall only be entitled to nominate two members to the Board. The Board will not consider or vote on any specified matter to be reviewed by the executive committee of the Issuer (the Executive Committee) unless the Executive Committee has made a recommendation to the Board with respect to such matter, subject to certain exceptions. The Executive Committee consists of four members, three of whom shall be appointed by CGT and one of whom shall be appointed by AT&TI. CGT and AT&TI have agreed to cause the Executive Committee to use their best efforts to mutually agree upon all matters presented to the Executive Committee, and to follow certain procedures in the event they are unable to do so. With the exception of the appointment of members to the Board and the Executive Committee, under the terms of the Telmex Agreements, CGT has the power to direct the voting of the AA Shares held by AT&TI.
In addition, under the Telmex Agreements each of AT&TI and CGT has granted to the other a right of first offer on any proposed transfer of AA Shares held by such party, except for transfers to certain affiliates. Upon the receipt of a notice of proposed transfer, the party receiving the notice shall have 30 calendar days to decide whether it wishes to purchase all (but not less than all) of the AA Shares proposed to be sold by the notifying party; provided that if AT&TI is prohibited by Mexican law from acquiring the AA Shares proposed to be sold by CGT, AT&TI may exercise its right to purchase through a third party, trust or other legal entity legally allowed to hold AA Shares. In the event the receiving party elects not to purchase the AA Shares offered for sale or is otherwise unable to complete the purchase of such AA Shares in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, the notifying party shall have 180 days within which to sell such AA Shares, to a third party at the same price offered to the receiving party; provided, that the purchasing third party shall have agreed in advance to be governed by a shareholders agreement on substantially the same terms as provided for in the Telmex Agreements. In addition to the right of first offer described above, each of CGT and AT&TI has granted to the other certain drag along rights, which require AT&TI to sell its interest. Should CGT transfer its AA Shares to a third party so that it no longer directly or indirectly owns the majority of the AA Shares, AT&TI shall have a tag along right which will permit AT&TI, in its discretion, to sell to the third party buyer the same portion of AA Shares as CGT is selling. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, either party to the Telmex Agreements is free to convert any AA Shares held by such party into L Shares and transfer such L Shares to a third party without complying with the right of first offer and drag along right described above.
The current term of the Shareholders Agreement ends on December 20, 2009. The Shareholders Agreement provides that at the end of its term it shall be automatically renewed for two years unless either party has provided notice at least six months prior to the end of its term that it is terminating the Shareholders Agreement at the end of its current term. During the term of the Shareholders Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement may be terminated upon the mutual agreement of AT&TI and CGT. Additionally, the Shareholders Agreement shall terminate in the event of any of the following: (i) dissolution and liquidation of the Issuer, (ii) material breach by one of the parties or (iii) the conversion by any of the parties of all its AA Shares into L Shares, or in certain other instances as set forth therein.
-5-
The current term of the Trust Agreement ends on March 28, 2031. The Trust Agreement provides that at the end of its term the assets of the trust may be transferred to another trust within a determined trustee institution, with purposes similar to those provided in the Trust Agreement. If at the end of the term of the Trust Agreement no instructions have been provided with respect to the transfer of the assets of the trust, or with respect to the sale, transfer or conversion of the AA Shares that remain part of the trust, then all the AA Shares still part of the trust shall be sold on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A. de C.V. and the net amount of the proceeds shall be given to AT&TI, as the beneficiary. The Trust Agreement may be terminated upon written request of AT&TI if Banco Inbursa, S.A., Division Fiduciaria (the Trustee) transfers ownership of the assets of the trust in any of the following forms: (a) delivering all of the AA Shares to AT&TI when AT&TI so requests; (b) transferring all of the AA Shares to any other person appointed by AT&TI; (c) selling, assigning or alienating all of the AA Shares in a form determined by AT&TI; or (d) converting all of the AA Shares in the form determined by AT&TI into another series of shares established under the Issuers bylaws.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Telmex Agreements, which are referenced in Item 7 of this 13D and incorporated in this Item 4 by reference.
Through its direct ownership of AA Shares, the Telmex Agreements and Mexican Law, AT&TI may be deemed to be part of a group with CGT. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons based on the Slim 13D:
(i) | CGT is a sociedad anonima bursátil de capital variable organized under the laws of Mexico. CGT is a holding company with interests in the Issuer and other telecommunications companies; |
(ii) | Information regarding the executive officers and directors of CGT are set forth in Exhibit VI attached hereto; and |
(iii) | None of the executive officers and directors of CGT listed in Exhibit VI hereto have, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. |
In addition, under the Issuers bylaws, AT&TI, as a non-Mexican investor, is required to hold its AA Shares in a trust that requires the trustee to vote the AA Shares held in trust in the same manner as the majority of AA Shares. Furthermore, the Issuers bylaws prohibit a non-Mexican investor form holding a majority of the outstanding AA Shares.
Under the Issuers bylaws, AA Shares and A Shares have full voting rights and L Shares have limited voting rights. Each L Share is convertible at the holders option into one AA Share, and each AA Share and each A Share is convertible at the holders option into one L Share, in each case subject to restrictions under the Issuers by-laws, which are summarized in the table below.
Class of Issuers Capital Stock |
% of Issuers Outstanding Capital Stock |

A Shares | No more than 19.6% | No more than 49% | ||
AA Shares | At least 20% but no more than 51% | No less than 51% | ||

-6-
The Reporting Persons, like the Issuer, are engaged in the telecommunications business, although generally in different parts of the world. As a result, the Reporting Persons, the Issuer, persons with ownership interests in CGT and their affiliates and other persons with interests in the Issuer regularly discuss the businesses of the Issuer and the Reporting Persons and commercial and joint business transactions that may be of mutual interest. In addition, from time to time the Reporting Persons assess their position relative to the Issuer and depending on market conditions, the Issuers financial condition, business, operations and prospects and other factors, may change their plans or intentions and take any and all actions they may deem appropriate to their business interests or to maximizing the value of their investment, including, but not limited to, (i) proposing and discussing transactions involving the Issuer (including, but not limited to, joint ventures and/or other commercial arrangements with the Issuer and any other arrangements which may relate to the control of all or part of the Issuer and its businesses), (ii) acquiring or disposing of securities of the Issuer, or (iii) otherwise making a plan or proposal, with respect to any of the foregoing. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by the Reporting Persons.
The group that the Reporting Persons may form a part of may have other plans and purposes from time to time of which the Reporting Persons may have no knowledge.
The Reporting Persons do not expect to amend this 13D with respect to any plans or proposal relating to any of the foregoing until such time (if ever) as those plans or proposals become definitive enough to warrant disclosure.
Information contained in this 13D with respect to the intentions and ownerships of CGT and, to the extent the Reporting Persons are considered to be in a group with CGT, the amount of additional L Shares and A Shares the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership, shared voting power or shared dispositive power as a result of such group is based upon the knowledge of the Reporting Persons derived from the Slim 13D.
