Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 19, 2011, AT&T Inc. ("AT&T") announced that AT&T and Deutsche Telekom AG ("Deutsche Telekom") had agreed to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), entered into to effect AT&T’s purchase of T-Mobile USA, Inc. Terms and conditions of the termination are set forth in Exhibit 10, which is incorporated by reference herein. To reflect the break-up considerations due Deutsche Telekom under the Stock Purchase Agreement in connection with its termination, AT&T will recognize a pre-tax accounting charge of $4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement will also result in the termination of the Stockholder’s Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2011, between AT&T and Deutsche Telekom, which would have taken effect upon the closing of the purchase of T-Mobile USA, Inc., and the bridge loan agreement entered into between AT&T and a group of banks as of March 31, 2011.
