Plan
Description – The AT&T Retirement Savings Plan (Plan), formerly
the BellSouth Retirement Savings Plan, is a defined contribution plan
established by BellSouth Corporation (BellSouth) to provide a convenient
way for eligible management, non-management and bargained for employees of
participating BellSouth companies to save on a regular and long-term
basis. The following description of the Plan provides only general
information. The Plan has detailed provisions covering participant
eligibility, participant allotments from pay, participant withdrawals,
participant loans, employer contributions and related vesting of
contributions and Plan expenses. The Plan documents include complete
descriptions of these and other Plan provisions. The Plan is subject to
the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (ERISA).
|
2.
|
Accounting
Policies – The accompanying financial statements were prepared in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which
require management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to the
valuation of the investments. Benefits are recorded when paid. Income and
assets of the Master Trust are allocated to the Plan based on participant
balances. Certain amounts in prior-year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year’s
presentation.
|
3.
|
Tax Status –
The IRS has determined and informed BellSouth by a letter dated August 6,
2002, that the Plan, and related trust are qualified in accordance with
applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been
amended since August 6, 2002. However, the plan administrator believes
that the Plan is qualified and is currently being operated in compliance
with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Since the Plan and its
associated trust are tax-exempt under the IRC, no provision for income
taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial
statements.
|
4.
|
Plan Expenses –
Each participant in the Plan is charged a flat annual fee for Plan
administrative expenses, including recordkeeping, trustee and other
expenses considered reasonable by the Plan administrator. The fee is
divided on a pro rata basis among each investment option of the
participant and additional fees are charged to individual participants for
various services provided by the Plan’s recordkeeper. Investment manager
fees are paid by the Master Trust.
|
5.
|
Master Trust
Investments – The Master Trust investments presented as of December
31 are those held by State Street, as trustee, of the Master Trust and are
allocated to the Plan based upon the total of each individual
participant’s share of the Master Trust’s net assets. The Plan’s allocated
share of the total net assets of the Master trust was 66.0% at December
31, 2007 and 66.7% at December 31, 2006.

Subsequent
Events – Effective March 1, 2008, the portion of Plan accounts
attributable to BellSouth management employees were merged into the
AT&T Savings Plan. The Plan remains an ongoing plan with respect to
certain bargained for employees and certain non-management employees. All
management participant accounts were transferred to one of the 11 AT&T
Savings Plan funds available. Represented or non-management participants
remain eligible to participate in the Plan. Under the AT&T Savings
Plan, participants are allowed to contribute up to 50% of their salary,
with up to 6% as a company matched contribution. Additional information
and a summary of the key differences between the Plan and the AT&T
Savings Plan is available in the Plan’s prospectus
supplement.
