Dividend decrease : AT & T

T&T (NYSE:T) declares $0.2775/share quarterly dividend. That comes in line with company's already declared annual dividend of $1.11 per share expected post-close of the pending WarnerMedia spin-off transaction. 

On dividend yield, AT&T comments that it will "remain among the best dividend-yielding stocks in the United States and in the Fortune 500."

Payable May 2; for shareholders of record April 14; ex-div April 13.

In addition the company announces stock dividend for record of Apr. 5: AT&T said this stock dividend is in connection with the previously announced transaction to combine AT&T’s WarnerMedia business with Discovery (NASDAQ:DISCA). On the closing date of the transaction, anticipated to be in April, AT&T shareholders will receive, on a tax-free basis, an estimated 0.24 shares of stock in Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) for each share of AT&T common stock

 This is a decrease in dividend but hard to say how big a decrease at the moment until I get WDB shares and get more information on what is the coming dividend distribution for the WDB.

AT&T Warner Media spin-off

AT&T (NYSE:T) informed on Tuesday that it would spin-off its interested in WarnerMedia as part as its merger with Discovery (NASDAQ:DISCA), with the deal expected to close in the second-quarter.

As part of the spin-off, AT&T will get $43 billion in a combination of cash and other considerations, and AT&T shareholders will own 71% of the new company, Warner Bros. Discovery. Discovery shareholders will own the remaining 29% of the company on a fully diluted basis.

After the deal closes, each AT&T shareholder will receive 0.24 shares of the new Warner Bros. Discovery common stock for each AT&T share they own.

Warner Bros. Discovery will trade on the NASDAQ under "WBD" ticker symbol, with Discovery shareholders being converted to the WBD ticker, with one vote per share. AT&T will remain on the New York Stock Exchange under the "T" ticker.

AT& will also decrease its annual dividend to $1.11 per share from current $2.08 per share after the spin-off has been completed. Technically it is a dividend decrease but in reality, part of the dividends will be paid in future by WBD. To be seen what is the level of WBD's dividends
