Memo #17253
JULY 16, 2001
FURTHER ADJUSTED MEDIAONE GROUP, INC - SETTLEMENT
OPTION SYMBOL: YYZ

Exercise and assignment activity of YYZ options (adjusted Mediaone Group Inc ("UMG") options) has been delayed pending the determination of the cash in lieu amount for .57 AT&T Wireless Services Inc ("AWE") Common Shares (See The Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC") Information Memo #17232).

OCC has been informed that a price of $16.44275 per whole AWE share will be used to determine the cash in lieu amount. Accordingly, the cash in lieu amount is:

.57 x $16.44275 = $9.37 per YYZ Contract

YYZ options exercised July 9, 2001, through July 16, 2001, which were subject to delayed settlement, will settle July 19, 2001. YYZ options exercised July 17, 2001, and thereafter will be subject to normal three business day settlement.

The terms of YYZ options are as follows:


NEW DELIVERABLE PER CONTRACT:

1) 95 AT&T Corp ("T") Common Shares
2) 30 (New) AT&T Wireless Services Inc ("AWE") Common Shares
3) $3,636.37 Cash ($3,627.00 + $9.37)*

*The cash portion of the deliverable remains permanently fixed as part of the option deliverable, and does not vary with price changes of securities also included in the deliverable.

STRIKE PRICES: Unchanged
CUSIP: T: 001957109
AWE: 00209A106
MULTIPLIER: 100 (i.e., a premium of 1 1/2 yields $150; a strike of 60 yields $6,000.00)

SETTLEMENT

The T and AWE components of the YYZ option deliverable will settle through National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC"); 80% of the aggregate strike amount will be allocated to the T component and 20% to the AWE component. The $3,636.37 cash component will settle through OCC's cash settlement system.

PRICING

The underlying price of YYZ options will be determined as follows:

YYZ = .95(T) + .30(AWE) + 36.3637

For example if T closes at 21 and AWE closes at 17, the YYZ price would be:

YYZ = .95(21) + .30(17) + 36.3637 = 61.4
