TCI is one of the country's leading cable-television companies, and we believe this merger will help secure AT&T's long-term leadership as a total communications provider. For more information about the merger and the voting process, check out the AT&T Investor Relations site or call AT&T Shareowner Services on 1-800-947-9727. Dear Encore readers: AT&T is taking an important step to grow and energize our business. We are proposing a merger with Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI), one of the country's leading cable-television companies. We believe this merger will secure our long-term leadership in the industry by positioning AT&T as a total communications provider for the future. There are several ways you can help this merger succeed. First, if you own AT&T stock -- whether through a broker, your savings plan or individual shares -- be sure to cast your vote on the proposed merger with TCI by February 17, 1999. Shareowners have been mailed a package that contains a detailed proxy statement, instructions and a ballot card. (Those who own shares through multiple sources may receive several ballots and should vote on each of them.) AT&T's Board of Directors has carefully considered this merger and unanimously recommends approving the proposal. But if a shareowner takes no action at all, it will, in effect, count as a vote against the merger. Second, if friends or family members ask you about the proposed merger, please share with them this information: - By merging TCI's operations with ours, we can weave their powerful, high-speed cable network into our AT&T Worldwide Intelligent Network, adapting the cable facilities for handling telephone calls and more. - This merger will give AT&T its first direct, "broadband" connection to customers' homes using lines we own and control. - Broadband is much faster and can carry more pictures, sound, data and video than a normal phone line. - Broadband will allow us to offer a wider spectrum of services under the AT&T brand, including local telephone service, long distance service, wireless/cellular service, Internet access, and cable- and pay-television entertainment services. If you'd like more information about the merger and the voting process, check out the AT&T Investor Relations site at www.att.com/ir or call AT&T Shareowner Services on 1-800-947-9727. And if you know other AT&T retirees who may be interested in this development, please pass this message along.
