Amendment to Exemption for Certain Prohibited Transactions Involving AT&T Inc. (Together With AT&T Inc.'s Affiliates, AT&T or the Applicant) Located in Dallas, Texas

Prohibited Transaction Exemption (PTE) 2014-06 provided an exemption for AT&T to contribute approximately $9.21 billion of employer securities (the Preferred Interests) and other assets to the AT&T Pension Benefit Plan (the Plan).

Absent this amendment to PTE 2014-06 (Exemption Amendment), the Modifications would have resulted in violations of the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code).
