If I own NCR shares, why didn't I receive a stock certificate?
The distribution of NCR stock took place on December 31, 1996 to AT&T shareholders of record on December 13, 1996. This distribution was unique, in that, shares were distributed in book-entry form in lieu of certificate form. Unless shareholders have requested a stock certificate, your shares are being held in an account with NCR's Transfer Agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services.
On January 25, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's Bylaws which, among other things, allows the Company to issue uncertificated shares of stock. As a result of a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, the Company will no longer issue stock certificates. However, stockholders whose shares are uncertificated will have all of the same rights as stockholders who were previously issued stock certificates and whose shares continue to be represented by certificates.

Why did NCR distribute shares in book-entry form?
NCR shares were distributed in book-entry form for several reasons:
- Book-entry through Direct Registration is quickly becoming the new standard in share ownership.
- It supports the U.S. Securities Industry's overall direction towards statement-based share ownership.
- It eliminates the risk and expense associated with the safe-keeping or replacement of a certificate.
- It provided considerable savings in distribution costs to NCR and AT&T.
- It allows for convenient electronic share transactions, such as ownership transfer and sales, through NCR's transfer agent and your bank or broker.
What is Direct Registration?
Direct Registration is a Securities Industry initiative that provides for share ownership without the necessity of holding physical certificates. Shareowners holding shares in book-entry form, have all of the traditional rights and privileges afforded to registered shareholders, without the risk of losing or damaging certificates.
I prefer having a physical stock certificate to holding shares in book-entry. Is this possible?
No. On January 25, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Company's Bylaws which, among other things, allows the Company to issue uncertificated shares of stock. As a result of a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, the Company will no longer issue stock certificates. However, stockholders whose shares are uncertificated will have all of the same rights as stockholders who were previously issued stock certificates and whose shares continue to be represented by certificates.
If I do not have a stock certificate for my NCR shares, how will I have a record of ownership?
Distribution Statements were mailed to recipients of NCR shares in early January 1997. If you no longer have this statement, you may obtain an account statement by calling NCR Shareholder Services or you may view your account on-line at www.shareowneronline.com.

Since I did not directly purchase NCR shares, how do I determine their value if I decide to sell?
If you purchased your AT&T shares prior to the Lucent Technologies spin-off in September 1996, you must adjust your AT&T purchase price to reflect the Lucent spin-off before calculating your NCR value. To calculate the cost basis of your NCR shares, take your cost of AT&T and subtract 27.99% to take out Lucent. Lucent was spun off on 9/30/96. NCR was spun off on 12/31/96. NCR was 4.77% of what you had left of AT&T after taking out Lucent. Your remaining AT&T after taking out NCR becomes your new AT&T cost basis as of 12/31/96.
AT&T shares purchased prior to the Lucent spin-off in September 1996:
AT&T purchase price -27.99% for Lucent = AT&T adjusted.
AT&T adjusted x 4.77% = NCR.
AT&T adjusted minus NCR = new AT&T cost basis.
AT&T adjusted x 4.77% = NCR.
AT&T adjusted minus NCR = new AT&T cost basis.
AT&T shares purchased after September 30, 1996:
AT&T purchase price x 4.77% = NCR.
AT&T minus NCR = new AT&T cost basis.
AT&T minus NCR = new AT&T cost basis.
