On December 29, 2006, pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of March 4, 2006, by and among BellSouth, AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) and ABC Consolidation Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T (“Merger Co.”), Merger Co. merged with and into BellSouth (the “Merger”) and all shares of BellSouth common stock, and derivative securities convertible into shares of BellSouth common stock, have been converted into the right to receive 1.325 shares of AT&T common stock.
As a result of the Merger, there is no longer any common stock of BellSouth outstanding and BellSouth intends to deregister all of its outstanding securities. As a result of the Merger, BellSouth hereby removes from registration 9,651,895 shares of common stock covered by this Registration Statement, which were not issued by BellSouth pursuant to the Registration Statement and related prospectus. The shares were originally registered in connection with the BellSouth Corporation Savings and Security Plan.
