AT&T has firmed up more details of its spinoff of WarnerMedia, which is poised to combine with Discovery in a $43 billion merger.In an SEC filing, the telecom giant said it will issue its shareholders a special dividend on April 5.
For each share of AT&T common stock, holders will get 0.24 share in Warner Bros Discovery.AT&T’s stock will begin two-way trading on April 4, with shareholders getting the option to buy or sell shares of AT&T with or without the WBD shares.Shareholders will also get a quarterly dividend worth a shade less than 28 cents for each AT&T share, on top of the company’s annual dividend of $1.11 a share after the spinoff closes.
