AT&T Inc. Closes €1.2B and $1.1B Floating‑Rate Notes Offering

What Happened
AT&T announced on August 17, 2026 that it closed the sale of two floating‑rate global note offerings due 2028: €1,200,000,000 of Euro‑denominated notes (Euro Notes) and $1,100,000,000 of U.S. dollar‑denominated notes (USD Notes). The Euro Notes were issued under an underwriting agreement dated August 7, 2026 with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch as underwriter; the USD Notes were issued under an underwriting agreement dated August 10, 2026 with BNP Paribas Securities Corp. as underwriter. The notes were issued under the Indenture dated May 15, 2013, with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as trustee, and were registered under the Securities Act via AT&T’s Form S‑3 (No. 333‑285413) with prospectus supplements filed in August 2026.

Key Details

• Total principal issued: €1,200,000,000 (Euro Notes) and $1,100,000,000 (USD Notes).
• Maturity: both series are floating‑rate global notes due 2028.
• Underwriters: Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (Euro) and BNP Paribas Securities Corp. (USD).
• Documents filed: underwriting agreements, forms of the notes, and company legal opinions as exhibits to the 8‑K.

Why It Matters
This 8‑K reports that AT&T raised €1.2 billion and $1.1 billion through floating‑rate debt due in 2028, increasing the company’s outstanding debt and introducing additional variable‑rate interest exposure for the near term. The offering was registered and marketed to institutional investors via prospectus supplements; AT&T did not disclose a specific use of proceeds in this filing. Investors should note the added debt principal and that interest costs will vary with short‑term rates because the notes carry floating rates.
