About $8.5 billion of AT&T debt was tendered by note holders, with approximately $8.2 billion accepted for exchange. Of that, $3.5 billion will be exchanged for notes that, upon completion of the AT&T/Comcast transaction, will become unconditionally guaranteed by the newly formed AT&T Comcast. The remaining $4.7 billion of AT&T notes will be exchanged for notes that will remain the obligation of AT&T.

With about 90% of the eligible notes tendered, the offer cleared the 2/3-acceptance rate that was required to close the merger.--Toby Weber, staff writer
