The maximum number of AA Shares convertible into L Shares is based upon (i) 10,393,514,176 L Shares outstanding as of June 18, 2008 as reported by the Mexican Stock Exchange, (ii) 8,114,596,082 AA Shares outstanding as of June 18, 2008, as reported by the Mexican Stock Exchange and (iii) 424,174,102 A Shares outstanding as of June 18, 2008 as reported by the Mexican Stock Exchange.

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “13D”) is being filed to amend the statement on Schedule 13G of AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) and AT&T International, Inc. (“AT&TI”) filed on February 14, 1992 (as amended on February 15, 1995, March 28, 2001 and February 12, 2007) relating to the L Shares (as defined below). AT&T and AT&TI (the “Reporting Persons”) have concluded that the arrangements contained in the Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”), dated December 20, 2000, between CGT, and AT&TI and the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement” and, together with the Shareholders Agreement, the “Telmex Agreements”), dated March 28, 2001, between CGT and AT&TI may result in their being treated as a group with CGT.

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their executive officers or directors has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws, and which judgment, decree or final order was not subsequently vacated.

(f) The Reporting Persons are incorporated in the State of Delaware. Each executive officer and director of the Reporting Persons is a citizen of the United States.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Reporting Persons initially acquired the AA Shares for cash on February 13, 1992.

 

-4-


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons’ shares in the Issuer were acquired for the purpose of investment, although the group that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a part of may be deemed to have acquired their shares for other purposes based on the purpose for which Carlos Slim Helú, Carlos Slim Domit, Marco Antonio Slim Domit, Patrick Slim Domit, Maria Soumaya Slim Domit, Vanessa Paola Slim Domit and Johanna Monique Slim Domit (collectively, the “Slim Family”) and the Mexican Trust that holds AA Shares and L Shares for which the Slim Family is a beneficiary (the “Control Trust”) acquired its shares and such group may be deemed to control the Issuer. On December 20, 2000, CGT and AT&TI entered into the Shareholders Agreement, and on March 28, 2001, CGT and AT&TI established a trust by entering into a Trust Agreement, which govern the ownership and voting of any and all future AA Shares owned by such parties.

Under the terms of the Telmex Agreements, each of CGT and AT&TI agreed to vote its AA Shares in favor of 13 members nominated by CGT to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) and four members nominated by AT&TI to the Board (or in similar proportion if the holders of AA Shares are unable to elect 17 members of the Board); provided that upon the reduction of the number of members of the Board to 13, AT&TI shall only be entitled to nominate two members to the Board. The Board will not consider or vote on any specified matter to be reviewed by the executive committee of the Issuer (the “Executive Committee”) unless the Executive Committee has made a recommendation to the Board with respect to such matter, subject to certain exceptions. The Executive Committee consists of four members, three of whom shall be appointed by CGT and one of whom shall be appointed by AT&TI. CGT and AT&TI have agreed to cause the Executive Committee to use their best efforts to mutually agree upon all matters presented to the Executive Committee, and to follow certain procedures in the event they are unable to do so. With the exception of the appointment of members to the Board and the Executive Committee, under the terms of the Telmex Agreements, CGT has the power to direct the voting of the AA Shares held by AT&TI.

In addition, under the Telmex Agreements each of AT&TI and CGT has granted to the other a right of first offer on any proposed transfer of AA Shares held by such party, except for transfers to certain affiliates. Upon the receipt of a notice of proposed transfer, the party receiving the notice shall have 30 calendar days to decide whether it wishes to purchase all (but not less than all) of the AA Shares proposed to be sold by the notifying party; provided that if AT&TI is prohibited by Mexican law from acquiring the AA Shares proposed to be sold by CGT, AT&TI may exercise its right to purchase through a third party, trust or other legal entity legally allowed to hold AA Shares. In the event the receiving party elects not to purchase the AA Shares offered for sale or is otherwise unable to complete the purchase of such AA Shares in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, the notifying party shall have 180 days within which to sell such AA Shares, to a third party at the same price offered to the receiving party; provided, that the purchasing third party shall have agreed in advance to be governed by a shareholders agreement on substantially the same terms as provided for in the Telmex Agreements. In addition to the right of first offer described above, each of CGT and AT&TI has granted to the other certain drag along rights, which require AT&TI to sell its interest. Should CGT transfer its AA Shares to a third party so that it no longer directly or indirectly owns the majority of the AA Shares, AT&TI shall have a tag along right which will permit AT&TI, in its discretion, to sell to the third party buyer the same portion of AA Shares as CGT is selling. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, either party to the Telmex Agreements is free to convert any AA Shares held by such party into L Shares and transfer such L Shares to a third party without complying with the right of first offer and drag along right described above.

The current term of the Shareholders Agreement ends on December 20, 2009. The Shareholders Agreement provides that at the end of its term it shall be automatically renewed for two years unless either party has provided notice at least six months prior to the end of its term that it is terminating the Shareholders Agreement at the end of its current term. During the term of the Shareholders Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement may be terminated upon the mutual agreement of AT&TI and CGT. Additionally, the Shareholders Agreement shall terminate in the event of any of the following: (i) dissolution and liquidation of the Issuer, (ii) material breach by one of the parties or (iii) the conversion by any of the parties of all its AA Shares into L Shares, or in certain other instances as set forth therein.

 

-5-


The current term of the Trust Agreement ends on March 28, 2031. The Trust Agreement provides that at the end of its term the assets of the trust may be transferred to another trust within a determined trustee institution, with purposes similar to those provided in the Trust Agreement. If at the end of the term of the Trust Agreement no instructions have been provided with respect to the transfer of the assets of the trust, or with respect to the sale, transfer or conversion of the AA Shares that remain part of the trust, then all the AA Shares still part of the trust shall be sold on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A. de C.V. and the net amount of the proceeds shall be given to AT&TI, as the beneficiary. The Trust Agreement may be terminated upon written request of AT&TI if Banco Inbursa, S.A., Division Fiduciaria (the “Trustee”) transfers ownership of the assets of the trust in any of the following forms: (a) delivering all of the AA Shares to AT&TI when AT&TI so requests; (b) transferring all of the AA Shares to any other person appointed by AT&TI; (c) selling, assigning or alienating all of the AA Shares in a form determined by AT&TI; or (d) converting all of the AA Shares in the form determined by AT&TI into another series of shares established under the Issuer’s bylaws.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Telmex Agreements, which are referenced in Item 7 of this 13D and incorporated in this Item 4 by reference.

Through its direct ownership of AA Shares, the Telmex Agreements and Mexican Law, AT&TI may be deemed to be part of a group with CGT. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons based on the Slim 13D:

 

  (i) CGT is a sociedad anonima bursátil de capital variable organized under the laws of Mexico. CGT is a holding company with interests in the Issuer and other telecommunications companies;

 

  (ii) Information regarding the executive officers and directors of CGT are set forth in Exhibit VI attached hereto; and

 

  (iii) None of the executive officers and directors of CGT listed in Exhibit VI hereto have, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

In addition, under the Issuer’s bylaws, AT&TI, as a non-Mexican investor, is required to hold its AA Shares in a trust that requires the trustee to vote the AA Shares held in trust in the same manner as the majority of AA Shares. Furthermore, the Issuer’s bylaws prohibit a non-Mexican investor form holding a majority of the outstanding AA Shares.

Under the Issuer’s bylaws, AA Shares and A Shares have full voting rights and L Shares have limited voting rights. Each L Share is convertible at the holder’s option into one AA Share, and each AA Share and each A Share is convertible at the holder’s option into one L Share, in each case subject to restrictions under the Issuer’s by-laws, which are summarized in the table below.

 

Class of Issuer’s Capital Stock

 

% of Issuer’s Outstanding Capital Stock

 

% of Combined Number of Outstanding AA
Shares and A Shares

A Shares   No more than 19.6%   No more than 49%
AA Shares   At least 20% but no more than 51%   No less than 51%
Combined AA Shares and A Shares   No more than 51%  
Combined A Shares and L Shares   No more than 80%  

Except as set forth in this 13D, including as described in the paragraph below, none of the Reporting Persons currently has plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons, like the Issuer, are engaged in the telecommunications business, although generally in different parts of the world. As a result, the Reporting Persons, the Issuer, persons with ownership interests in CGT and their affiliates and other persons with interests in the Issuer regularly discuss the businesses of the Issuer and the Reporting Persons and commercial and joint business transactions that may be of mutual interest. In addition, from time to time the Reporting Persons assess their position relative to the Issuer and depending on market conditions, the Issuer’s financial condition, business, operations and prospects and other factors, may change their plans or intentions and take any and all actions they may deem appropriate to their business interests or to maximizing the value of their investment, including, but not limited to, (i) proposing and discussing transactions involving the Issuer (including, but not limited to, joint ventures and/or other commercial arrangements with the Issuer and any other arrangements which may relate to the control of all or part of the Issuer and its businesses), (ii) acquiring or disposing of securities of the Issuer, or (iii) otherwise making a plan or proposal, with respect to any of the foregoing. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by the Reporting Persons.

The group that the Reporting Persons may form a part of may have other plans and purposes from time to time of which the Reporting Persons may have no knowledge.

The Reporting Persons do not expect to amend this 13D with respect to any plans or proposal relating to any of the foregoing until such time (if ever) as those plans or proposals become definitive enough to warrant disclosure.

Information contained in this 13D with respect to the intentions and ownerships of CGT and, to the extent the Reporting Persons are considered to be in a group with CGT, the amount of additional L Shares and A Shares the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership, shared voting power or shared dispositive power as a result of such group is based upon the knowledge of the Reporting Persons derived from the Slim 13D.

Exhibit III

 

SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 20, 2000, BETWEEN CGT AND AT&TI

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS SBC INTERNATIONAL, INC.)

AGREEMENT

Intending to be bound, the Parties do hereby enter into this Agreement (“Agreement”) between Carso Global Telecom, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation (“Carso Telecom”), and SBC International, Inc. (“SBCI”), a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

A. Since December 20, 1990, the Parties have participated in a trust (the “Trust”) through which they originally held Telefonos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.’s (“Telmex”) capital stock in the form of “AA” Shares (the “AA Shares”). Through the Trust, a combination of Mexican investors, including Carso Telecom, have beneficially owned 51% of the AA Shares, and SBCI had beneficially owned 24.5% of the “AA” Shares.

B. On November 14, 1990, the Parties entered into an agreement, as amended from time to time (the “Original Joint Venture Agreement”) to govern their relationship as participants in the Trust and to ensure voting control of Telmex.

C. On April 27, 2000, the Parties entered into a Conversion and Termination Agreement with France Telecom Financiere Internationale, to permit the conversion of its Converted AA Shares (as therein defined), terminate the Original Joint Venture Agreement and the Trust vis a vis France Telecom Financiere Internationale, and to govern certain rights in connection with such transaction.

D. The Parties now desire to terminate the Original Joint Venture Agreement, as amended, and the Trust and to create a new joint venture agreement (the “New Joint Venture Agreement”) to govern the Parties’ relationship within Telmex and to amend the Telmex By-laws pursuant to this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and of the mutual benefit to be derived herefrom, the Parties hereto agree as follows

 

1. Management of Telmex.

A. The responsibility for the management of Telmex shall reside with the Telmex Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”). However, the Board will seek input on various matters from committees the Board may establish, pursuant to the By-laws, from time to time, as well as from the Executive Committee.

B. The Director General of Telmex shall be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the business of Telmex and shall be accountable to the Telmex Board of Directors.

 

2. Board Composition; Committees.

A. The Board of Directors of Telmex will continue to exist in accordance with the By-laws of Telmex as amended.

B. Carso Telecom shall nominate candidates to assume thirteen (13)


Exhibit III

 

positions on the Board of Directors. SBCI shall nominate candidates to assume four (4) positions on the Board of Directors. The Parties anticipate that the Board of Directors shall be subsequently reduced to thirteen (13) members, whereby at such time SBCI shall be entitled to nominate candidates to assume two (2) positions on the Board of Directors. Each of the Parties agrees to vote its “AA” Shares in favor of the other Parties’ candidates.

C. In the event the “AA” shareholders are unable for any other reason to elect seventeen (17) members of the Board, then the allocation of Board members among the Parties shall change accordingly but shall maintain, so far as possible, the same proportions as outlined in paragraph B above.

D. The Board will act by majority vote.

E. Executive Committee. The executive committee of the Board of Directors (the “Executive Committee”) will continue to exist in accordance with and be empowered by the By-laws of Telmex as amended and provided herein. The Executive Committee will be the principal consultative body of the Board and will be the body through which all major strategic, operational, financial and investment decisions are reviewed and recommended to the Board. The Executive Committee shall meet whenever necessary but at least prior to each Board of Directors meeting, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. The matters for Executive Committee review and discussion shall be those items set forth in Attachment A.

At least five (5) business days written notice (by facsimile and courier) shall be given to each of the Executive Committee members of any meeting of the Executive Committee, provided always that a shorter period of notice or no notice may be given if approved by all Executive Committee members. Any such notice shall contain, inter alia, an agenda identifying in reasonable detail all of the matters to be discussed at the meeting and shall be accompanied by copies of any relevant papers to be discussed at the meeting. The Executive Committee shall have all of the power to operate and manage Telmex except for those powers the Board expressly reserves to itself. The Executive Committee shall make recommendations on all matters on which the By-laws call for Executive Committee review. Each Party agrees that it will cause its Executive Committee members to use their best efforts to achieve a common position on matters presented to the Executive Committee. Should the Parties be unable to reach a common position or it is anticipated by either Party that a common position may not be reached at an Executive Committee Meeting on any matter properly noticed pursuant to this paragraph E, they shall arrange a conference between the Chief Executive Officers of Carso Telecom, and SBCI or their respective executive designees. If the matter is not resolved by the Two Chief Executive Officers / Director Generals before the next regular scheduled Board meeting where such matter will be discussed, the matter shall be resolved by majority decision by the Executive Committee. If an agenda item for an Executive Committee Meeting was not properly noticed pursuant to this paragraph E and the Parties are not able to reach a common position on such agenda item prior to the next regular scheduled Board meeting a decision on the matter shall be postponed until the next regular scheduled Executive Committee Meeting or until a common position is reached or until notice is cured pursuant to this paragraph E, whichever comes first.

Notwithstanding the above, if it is determined by Carso Telecom in good faith that a matter subject to Executive Committee review cannot wait until the next regularly scheduled Executive Committee Meeting for its review and consideration, because time is of the essence, such specific matter shall be discussed with SBCI prior to any action being taken by the Company regarding the matter and each Party’s decision shall be reflected in the minutes of the next regularly scheduled Executive Committee Meeting.


Exhibit III

 

F. The Board shall not consider or vote on the Executive Committee Matters without a recommendation from the Executive Committee except for any case in which the Executive Committee did not achieve a common position regarding an agenda item pursuant to paragraph E above.

G. The Executive Committee will consist of four (4) members, three (3) of whom will be appointed by Carso Telecom, and one (1) of whom will be appointed by SBCI.

 

3. Compensation for Services.

The Parties shall work with and assist the Telmex management to enhance the long-term prosperity of Telmex. The Parties will provide for a contract between each of them and Telmex which the Parties will be compensated on a commercially reasonable basis for services rendered to Telmex. The Parties agree to cause Telmex to execute the attached Management Services Agreements (MSA) (Attachment B) under which for five (5) years SBC International—Management Services, Inc. (SBCI-MSI) will provide management services to Telmex. The Party’s shall subsequently attach to this Agreement as Attachment C a MSA for which Carso Telecom shall be compensated for the services it provides to Telmex. SBCI-MSI and Carso Telecom will be compensated at least $10 million U.S. Dollars per annum each for the services provided by SBCI-MSI expatriates and Carso Telecom for the initial 2-year term of the MSA’s.

 

4. Transfers of Shares.

A. Subject to applicable laws and pursuant to the right of first offer set forth below the Parties shall have the right to freely transfer their “AA” Shares. Furthermore nothing shall restrict the ability of a shareholder to: (i) convert any or all of its “AA” Shares to “L” shares in accordance with the By-laws and to transfer or sell the “L” shares and provided further that the Parties shall, subject to any limits as to percentages provided for by the by-laws, insure sufficient “L” Shares are available to allow any Party to convert “AA” Shares to “L” Shares upon request of the Party seeking to convert; or (ii) the ability of a Shareholder to create or permit to exist any pledge, lien, or other encumbrance over any AA Shares held by that Shareholder (a “Lien”), or to agree, conditionally or otherwise, to do any of the foregoing (and for the purposes of this article “dispose” shall be deemed to exclude all or any of the above), provided further that, to be valid any such Lien should provide that, in case of any disposition of the AA Shares, the right of first offer to the other Shareholder is fully complied with.

B. Notwithstanding the right of first offer provision set forth below, a Shareholder may transfer any of its “AA” Shares to:

For purposes of this definition the term “control” of a person shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to vote 51% or more of the voting stock of such person or the direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person or to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of such voting stock, by contract or otherwise.


Exhibit III

 

C. Save for transfers permitted under paragraphs A and B if a Shareholder desires to sell or otherwise dispose of any of its “AA” Shares (“Seller”), the Seller shall give notice to the other Shareholder in writing (“Transfer Notice”) of such desire together with details of the purchase price and other material terms requested by the Seller. A Transfer Notice shall, except as hereinafter provided, be irrevocable.

D. On receipt of the Transfer Notice, the other Shareholder (“Continuing Shareholder”) shall have the right to purchase, in aggregate, all (but not some only) of the Seller’s “AA” Shares being sold at the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice. If SBCI is prohibited by Mexican Law from purchasing all of the Seller’s “AA” Shares SBCI shall have the right to purchase Seller’s “AA” Shares through a third party, trust or other entity legally allowed to hold “AA” Shares.

E. The Transfer Notice will invite the Continuing Shareholder to give written notice (“Acceptance Notice”) to the Seller within thirty (30) days (for the purposes of this Agreement the term “days” shall mean calendar days) of receipt of the transfer notice (“Acceptance Period”) whether it is willing to purchase all of the Seller’s “AA” Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Acceptance Notices from the Continuing Shareholder must account for the purchase and sale of all of the Seller’s “AA” Shares being sold.

F. The Continuing Shareholder shall become bound (subject only to any necessary approvals of its shareholders in general meeting and/or of its Board or of any competent regulatory authorities, including anti-trust commissions or entities in any required jurisdiction) to purchase the Seller’s Shares on giving the Acceptance Notice. In such event, completion of the sale and purchase of the Seller’s Shares shall take place within sixty (60) days after the latter of the giving of such notice or, after the obtaining of necessary approvals of any competent governmental, regulatory or other authorities (including, without limitation, the approval of any governmental, regulatory or other authorities which have jurisdiction over any tangible or intangible asset in which Telmex may at the relevant time be directly or indirectly interested). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice and right of the Continuing Shareholders to acquire the Seller’s Shares shall cease to have effect if:

 

  (i) any necessary approval of the Continuing Shareholder’s shareholders in general meeting and/or its appropriate board has not been obtained within the said period of sixty (60) days or

 

  (ii) any necessary approval of any competent governmental, regulatory or other authority has or have not been obtained within one hundred and eight (180) days after the giving of such notice or

 

  (iii) if earlier than the expiry of such latter period, any such authority has conclusively refused to grant any such approval and no appeal or other request for review is timely filed and remains pending.

G. If:

 

  (i) at the expiration of the Acceptance Period the aggregate number of Seller’s Shares to be purchased by the Continuing Shareholders is less than the total number of Shares Seller desires to sell; or

 

  (ii)

the deadlines set forth in paragraph F have not been satisfied,


Exhibit III

 

 

the Seller shall be entitled to transfer all of the “AA” Shares of the Seller specified in the Transfer Notice on a bona fide arm’s length sale to a third party purchaser at a price being not less than the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice, provided that such transfer shall have been completed within a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the latter of:

 

  (i) the date of the Transfer Notice; or

 

  (ii) the date the Continuing Shareholder’s right to acquire the Seller’s Shares shall have ceased to have effect pursuant to subparagraph B, the date on which such notice ceased to have effect;

and further provided that:

 

  (iii) third party purchaser shall have agreed in advance in writing to sign and be governed by a shareholder agreement with provisions in compliance with this Agreement; and

 

  (iv) all necessary approvals of governmental or applicable authority shall have been obtained.

The Continuing Shareholder shall be permitted to confirm that the bona fide offer from the third party purchaser is firm and subject only to conditions that could reasonably be expected to be satisfied, by (i) review of the documents involved in such bona fide offer and (ii) requiring that the proposed transferee submit evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Continuing Shareholder of financing for such purchase.

H. Should Carso Telecom transfer its Telmex “AA” shares to a third party so that Carso Telecom no longer directly or indirectly owns the majority of the “AA” shares, SBCI shall have a tag along right which will permit SBCI, in its discretion, to sell to the third party buyer and requires the third party purchaser to acquire the same portion of its “AA” Shares as Carso Telecom is selling under the same terms and conditions (the “Tag-Along Shares”). SBCI shall exercise its rights under this paragraph H by indicating in writing to Carso Telecom that SBCI intends to include the Tag-Along Shares in the Seller contemplated transfer.

I. Should Carso Telecom transfer its Telmex “AA” shares to a third party so that Carso Telecom no longer directly or indirectly owns a majority of the “AA” shares, Carso Telecom shall have a drag along right which will permit Carso Telecom, in its discretion, to require SBCI to sell the same portion of its “AA” shares as Carso Telecom is selling to the third party under the same terms and conditions (the “Drag-Along Shares”).
