Note 1. John Stankey succeeded Randall Stephenson as CEO on July 1, 2020. The remaining NEOs for each year are presented as follows:
| • |  | 2023: Pascal Desroches, Lori Lee, David McAtee, and Jeff McElfresh
| • |  | 2022: Pascal Desroches, Lori Lee, David McAtee, and Jeff McElfresh
| • |  | 2021: Pascal Desroches, Lori Lee, David McAtee, Jeff McElfresh, John Stephens, and Randall Stephenson
| • |  | 2020: John Stephens, Jason Kilar, David McAtee, and Jeff McElfresh
Note 2. Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) is the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) total value for the period shown with adjustments for equity awards and pension. CAP reflects equity awards based on the mark-to-market valuation for cash settled portions of awards under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718: Compensation – Stock Compensation for each period in the above table. Pension values for CAP reflect the pension service cost as used in the financial statements for each period shown in the above table. Note 3. Previously reported CAP for 2020, 2021, and 2022 have been recalculated based on recent guidance from the SEC clarifying that equity awards should be treated as vested in the CAP calculation when the holder achieves retirement eligible status if the awards allow for accelerated vesting when retirement eligibility is satisfied with no other conditions. Note 4. The company must calculate TSR with a base investment of $100 in a manner consistent with the SEC stock performance graph disclosure requirements over the cumulative period covered in the disclosure (i.e., for 2020 the table represents the TSR over 2020, the TSR for 2021 represents the cumulative TSR over 2020 and 2021, etc.). The peer group used for comparison is the S&P 500 Communication Services Index (CSI). Note 5. Standalone AT&T results reflect the historical operating results of the company presented as continuing operations and exclude U.S. Video and other dispositions included in Corporate and Other that did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations. Standalone AT&T results are presented to provide 2020 and 2021 full-year results that are comparable to 2022 and 2023 continuing operations financial data. Standalone AT&T Adjusted Operating Income differs from Adjusted Operating Income presented in our quarterly earnings material, and is calculated by adjusting AT&T’s Operating Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations for the following items: (1) transaction, impairment and depreciation and amortization costs associated with merger, acquisition and disposition activity for transactions when enterprise value exceeds $2.0 billion; (2) costs related to changes in accounting principles, changes in tax laws, natural disasters, impairments and abandonments of goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets and, gains and losses related to asset dispositions and mark-to-market activity, in each case, in excess of $500 million for 2022 and 2021, and in-excess of $300 million for 2023; additionally, for 2023, the actuarial and mark-to-market gains and losses related to the assets and liabilities of pension and other post-retirement benefit plans and rabbi trusts and benefit plan funding that varies from budget; and (3) severance charges in excess of $200 million for 2022, and in excess of $300 million for 2023. Standalone AT&T Adjusted Operating Income also removes the results from U.S. Video operations and other dispositions that did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, which impacts 2021 and 2020. Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) calculations are as follows:

Note 2. Based on updated SEC guidance, Total Equity Award adjustment calculations for 2023 assume vesting upon retirement eligibility date for Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). Dividend equivalents for vested RSUs are not included in equity adjustments for CAP. Prior year Total Equity Award adjustments for 2020, 2021, and 2022 for John Stankey and 2020 adjustments for Randall Stephenson have been recalculated for ease of year-over-year comparison. Note 3. The Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) was amended in 2020 to freeze Mr. Stankey’s benefit accruals effective 12/31/2019 and convert it to a cash balance account earning annual interest at 3.7% (as disclosed in prior years’ CD&As). This amendment resulted in a one-time Prior Service Cost to account for the change in pension liability. For 2020, the total Pension Cost shown above includes the annual Service Cost (for annual benefit accrual) and this additional Prior Service Cost. Mr. Stankey’s 2021, 2022, and 2023 Pension Costs do not include any Prior Service Cost since there were no applicable plan amendments. In 2021, his qualified management pension increased more than the SERP benefit; it is used as an offset to the gross SERP formula, resulting in a net negative Service Cost for all pension benefits. In 2022, the management pension increased by approximately the same amount that the SERP benefit decreased, resulting in a small positive net Service Cost. Mr. Stephenson’s 2020 Pension Cost does not include any Prior Service Cost since his SERP benefit was frozen effective 12/31/2012 and the amendment was accounted for in 2013. His management pension increased somewhat more than the amount the SERP benefit decreased during 2020, resulting in a modest positive net Service Cost.
