Combining HBO Max with Discovery + and their synergy with WarnerMedia should deliver better results when companies work together.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the agreement, AT&#038;T will receive $ 43 billion, which will allow the company to reduce its debt burden by a whopping $ 180 billion as of March 31, 2021. AT&#038;T shareholders will receive 71% of the new company&#8217;s shares. The operation is expected to close in mid-2022.<\/p>\n<p>Following the close of the deal, AT&#038;T expects an annual dividend payout ratio of 40% to 43% of the expected free cash flow of $ 20 billion. The ability to repurchase shares will be 2.5 times less. As a result, AT&#038;T&#8217;s dividends will be about $ 8 billion a year, compared to the $ 15 billion the company paid in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128809,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-128808","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/128808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=128808"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=128808"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=128808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
