AT&T LONG TERM SAVINGS AND SECURITY PLAN
Investment Model Portfolios

The AT&T Long Term Savings and Security Plan (Plan) is a defined contribution plan established by AT&T Corp. (ATTC) to provide a convenient way for eligible non-management employees of participating ATTC 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).

On November 18, 2005, ATTC was acquired by AT&T Inc. (AT&T, Ticker: T). As a result of the acquisition, the AT&T Corp. common stock held in the AT&T Stock Fund was converted to AT&T common stock based on a conversion ratio. Interplan transfers represent participant transfers between company-sponsored employee benefits plans due to changes in the participant's employment status.

The Plan participates in the AT&T Savings Master Trust (Master Trust) for the investment of the pooled assets of various funds. In October 2007, AT&T established the AT&T Group Investment Trust (Group Trust) to manage assets of pooled investment options between the Plan and other AT&T sponsored employee benefit plans. The Master Trust began participating in the Group Trust on October 1, 2007. The trustee of the Master Trust and the Group Trust is the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). (See Note 6)

The following is a moderate-risk model portfolio constructed from the investment options of AT&T LONG TERM SAVINGS AND SECURITY PLAN.

This portfolio is proactively monitored and rebalanced on a monthly basis when needed, ensuring it remains in line with its target allocation. We offer customization features, allowing subscribers to tailor the portfolio to align with their own risk tolerance and return expectations by changing risk profile parameter.

Our model portfolio is rooted in the MyPlanIQ Asset Allocation Composite (AAC) strategy. This dynamic (tactical) asset allocation and quantitative fund selection algorithm prioritize risk management by dynamically adjusting stock allocations based on prevailing asset momentum. Extensive research has shown that this momentum-based tactical approach can potentially reduce temporary losses while maintaining or outperforming traditional buy-and-hold strategies.

Both historical back test and real-time portfolio return and risk data are shown in the table on this page. These metrics are compared with stock and moderate allocation index funds.

Furthermore, subscribers have the option to explore alternative strategies such as Strategic Asset Allocation Optimal (SAA) and Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA) to further customize their model portfolio. See our investment methodology for more details on the investment strategies
