PROXY STATEMENT
This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed
beginning March 19, 1994 to shareowners of Pacific Telesis Group (the
"Corporation") in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of
Directors (the "Board") for the Annual Meeting of Shareowners ("Annual
Meeting") to be held on April 29, 1994.
Proxies are solicited to give all shareowners of record on February 28, 1994
an opportunity to vote on matters scheduled for the meeting and described in
the proxy materials. Shares can only be voted if the shareowner is present in
person or is represented by proxy. Any person giving a proxy may revoke it at
any time before the meeting by sending in a written revocation or a proxy
bearing a later date. Shareowners may also revoke their proxies by attending
the meeting in person and casting a ballot. If proxy cards are signed and
returned without specifying choices, the shares represented by the proxy card
will be voted as recommended by the Board.
The Corporation has adopted a policy that provides all shareowners (with some
modifications in policy for shareowners who are employee benefit plan
participants) the option to request that any proxy, ballot or voting
instruction be kept confidential, except as required by law, or in the event
of a contested proxy solicitation, or to the extent confidentiality is
expressly waived in writing by the shareowner. The policy also provides for
the tabulation of the vote by employees of the Corporation's transfer agent or
by some other independent third party and for the certification of the vote by
an independent inspector of election. The Corporation may, however, be
informed if a particular shareowner has voted and may receive periodic status
reports on the aggregate vote. If you desire to keep your vote confidential,
please mark the designated box on your proxy card. Your written comments on
proxies or ballots may also be made available to the Corporation, but your
name and address will not be disclosed if you request confidentiality.
VOTING OF SHARES
Your vote is important. We urge you to return your marked proxy card
promptly. The holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote, whether present in person or represented by
proxy, constitutes a quorum. Shares represented by executed proxies received
by the Corporation will be counted as present or represented at the meeting
for purposes of establishing a quorum, regardless of how or whether such
shares are voted on any specific proposal. Abstentions will be treated as
votes cast on a particular matter as well as shares present and represented at
the meeting. Where nominee recordholders do not vote on specific issues
because they did not receive specific instructions on such issues from the
beneficial owners of such shares (broker "nonvotes"), such broker nonvotes
will not be treated as either votes cast or shares present.
An affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the votes cast at the
meeting is required for the election of directors. An affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares present or represented at the meeting is
required for the approval of each of the other matters to be voted upon.

<PAGE>
Highlights of the meeting will be included in the Second Quarter Report of
Shareowners which will be mailed in July.
If a shareowner is a participant in the Pacific Telesis Group Shareowner
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, the proxy card represents the
number of full shares in the dividend reinvestment plan account on the record
date as well as shares registered in the participant's name. If a shareowner
is a participant in the Pacific Telesis Group Supplemental Retirement and
Savings Plan for Salaried Employees, the Pacific Telesis Group Supplemental
Retirement and Savings Plan for Nonsalaried Employees, the PacTel Corporation
Retirement Plan (collectively, the "Savings Plans") or the Pacific Telesis
Group Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), the proxy card will also
serve as a voting instruction for the trustees of those plans where all
accounts are registered in the same name. Shares in the ESOP cannot be voted
unless the card is signed and returned. If cards representing the Savings
Plans are not returned, those shares will be voted by the trustees in the same
proportion as the shares for which signed cards are returned by other
participants.
Shareowners of record at the close of business on February 28, 1994 will be
entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting. On
February 28, 1994, there were 424 million shares of common stock ("Common
Stock") outstanding, each share being entitled to one vote.
The Corporation does not know of any shareowner who beneficially owns more
than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Regular meetings of the Board of Directors are held ten times a year and
special meetings are scheduled when required. The Board held 14 meetings in
1993. No incumbent director attended fewer than 75 percent of the total
aggregate number of board and committee meetings on which he or she served.
Directors meet their responsibilities not only by attending board and
committee meetings, but also through communication with the Chairman and other
members of management on matters affecting the Corporation.
The Board has established a number of standing committees. Standing Board
Committees include the Audit, Compensation and Personnel, Nominating,
Corporate Public Policy, Executive, Finance, and Pension and Savings Plans
Committees.
The Audit Committee, which consisted of six nonemployee directors in 1993,
meets with management to consider the adequacy of the internal controls of the
Corporation and the objectivity of its financial reporting. This Committee
also meets about these issues with the independent auditors, with financial
personnel of the Corporation and with internal auditors. The Audit Committee
recommends to the Board the appointment of the independent auditors, which
appointment must be ratified by the shareowners at the Annual Meeting. Both
the internal auditors and the independent auditors periodically meet alone
with the Audit Committee and always have unrestricted access to the Committee.
The Audit Committee met five times in 1993.
The Compensation and Personnel ("C&P") Committee had five members during 1993,
all of whom were nonemployee directors. Other than the Chairman, whose
2
<PAGE>
compensation is approved by the full Board, the C&P Committee approves the
compensation of officers within the authority delegated by the Board,
administers all executive benefit plans and provides oversight with respect to
employee benefit plans. The C&P Committee met 12 times in 1993.
The Nominating Committee advises and makes recommendations to the Board on
matters concerning the selection of candidates as nominees for election as
directors. In recommending Board candidates, this Committee seeks individuals
of proven judgment and competence who are outstanding in their chosen fields.
It also considers factors such as education, geographic location, anticipated
participation in Board activities and special talents or personal attributes.
In 1993, seven directors, one of whom was an employee of the Corporation, were
members of the Nominating Committee. Shareowners who wish to suggest
qualified candidates to the Nominating Committee should write to Richard W.
Odgers, Secretary of the Corporation, at 130 Kearny Street, Suite 3713, San
Francisco, California 94108, stating in detail the candidate's qualifications
for consideration by the Committee. The Nominating Committee met five times
in 1993.
If a shareowner wishes to nominate a director other than a director nominated
by the Nominating Committee for that year, he or she must comply with certain
procedures set out in the Corporation's By-Laws. (See page 30, "Other Matters
to Come Before the Meeting.")
Directors will hold office until the end of their terms and until their
successors have been elected and qualified or until the retirement date
specified by the Board, whichever date shall first occur. Directors who are
also employees (other than retired Chief Executive Officers) will retire from
the Board when they retire from the Corporation. It is the Corporation's
policy that directors will retire not later than the end of the calendar year
in which they reach 70 years of age.
On March 10, 1994, the Board of Directors approved the spin-off of the
Corporation's wireless operations by means of a one-for-one stock distribution
of PacTel Corporation to the Corporation's shareowners. In February 1994,
PacTel Corporation announced a new corporate name and identity which it will
use after the spin-off. The new name is AirTouch Communications. Pacific
Telesis Group will continue to own Pacific Bell and Pacific Bell Directory,
Nevada Bell and several smaller units. The wireless operations have been
capitalized through an initial public offering of stock in December of 1993
and will be spun off as a totally independent company which will focus on
domestic and international cellular and paging operations, and a domestic
vehicle location business.
Following the spin-off of PacTel Corporation and its wireless operations, the
Corporation and the wireless company will have no common directors, officers
or employees. At the effective date of the spin-off, Sam Ginn, C. Lee Cox,
James R. Harvey and Paul Hazen will resign as directors of the Corporation.
Sam Ginn, currently Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and C. Lee Cox,
currently Group President - PacTel Companies, will also resign as officers of
the Corporation. Philip J. Quigley will become Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and will remain as President and
Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Bell.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (ITEM A ON PROXY CARD - DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE
"FOR")
At the effective date of the spin-off, the size of the Board of Directors will
be reduced from 14 to 10 members and there will be no vacancies on the Board.
The Corporation's Articles of Incorporation divide the Board into three
approximately equal classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms,
with one class of directors to be elected at each Annual Meeting. The four
nominees in Class I, as described below, are nominated for election at this
year's Annual Meeting.
The proxy holders named on the proxy card, unless otherwise instructed on
proxy cards that have been signed and returned, will vote for the election of
the four nominees listed below. These nominees have been selected by the
Board on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. If you do not wish
your shares to be voted for particular nominees, please identify the
exceptions on the proxy card.
If one or more of the nominees should become unavailable to serve at the time
of the meeting, the shares represented by proxy will be voted for the
remaining nominees and for any substitute nominees designated by the
Nominating Committee. If there are no substitute nominees, the size of the
Board will be reduced. The Nominating Committee knows of no reason why any of
the nominees will be unavailable or unable to serve.
The following is a brief description of the principal occupation for at least
the past five years, other major affiliations, and the age of each director.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
For service on the Board of Directors during 1993, directors who are not
employees received an annual retainer of $20,000, a fee of $1,200 for each
board meeting attended and $600 for participating in board teleconferences, a
fee of $800 for each committee meeting attended and $400 for participation in
committee teleconferences. Chairmen of the Audit, C&P and Finance Committees
each received an additional retainer of $5,000. Other nonemployee directors
who chair committees received additional annual retainers of $4,000. All
nonemployee directors served on special committee assignments and received
compensation in an aggregate amount of $68,716 for committee work.
Nonemployee directors may elect to defer the receipt of all or a part of their
fees and retainers. These deferred amounts earn interest, compounded
annually, at a rate determined by the Board. The rate for 1993 was equal to
11 percent. A trust has been established and assets have been contributed by
the Corporation, consisting thus far primarily of corporate-owned life
insurance, cash and other investments from which benefits consisting of the
deferrals and earnings on such deferrals described above may be paid.
Directors who are also employees of the Corporation receive no additional
remuneration for serving as directors or as members of committees of the
Board. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with attendance at board and committee meetings.
Nonemployee directors are reimbursed for certain telecommunications services
and equipment provided by subsidiaries of the Corporation. They are also
reimbursed for costs incurred when certain telecommunications services and
equipment are provided by other companies. The average cost per nonemployee
director for telecommunications services and equipment provided during 1993
was $5,541. Employee directors receive similar services and equipment as part
6
<PAGE>
of their compensation as officers.
The Corporation also provided a travel accident insurance policy covering
nonemployee directors on Corporation business, at an aggregate cost of $810.
Nonemployee directors serving as of the date of the 1990 reduction in
directors' mandatory retirement age will receive at retirement, a one-time
payment equal to $20,000 (which was the amount of the 1990 annual retainer).
Under the Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan, on January 26, 1990, each
incumbent nonemployee director received options to purchase 2,000 shares of
Common Stock at $46.125 per share, which vested 50 percent in each of 1991 and
1992. Each incumbent nonemployee director was granted 2,000 additional
options on the date of the Corporation's Annual Meeting of Shareowners in
1992, 50 percent of which vested in 1993 and the remainder of which will vest
in 1994 on the second anniversary of the grant. The exercise price of all
options granted under the plan is the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant. Options expire if not exercised within ten years and
earlier under certain circumstances. Contingent upon shareowner approval of
the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan was
terminated by the Board of Directors effective December 31, 1993. Outstanding
options will continue in effect under the terms of the grant, except the
exercise price will be adjusted upon the spin-off of PacTel Corporation to
reflect the price of the Corporation's Common Stock upon distribution of
PacTel shares to shareowners of the Corporation. If not terminated and
replaced by the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the Nonemployee Director Stock
Option Plan would contemplate similar grants of 2,000 options to incumbent
nonemployee directors on the date of the Annual Meetings in 1994, 1996 and
1998, with a grant of 1,000 options to any nonemployee director appointed in
an intervening year.
Under the Pacific Telesis Group Nonemployee Director Stock Grant Plan, each
incumbent nonemployee director who had served as a director since January 1,
1991 received a grant of 250 shares of Common Stock in 1992. Nonemployee
directors whose service began after January 1, 1991 received a grant of
250 shares in each of 1992 and 1993. Contingent upon shareowner approval of
the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the Nonemployee Director Stock Grant Plan was
terminated by the Board of Directors effective December 31, 1993. If not
terminated and replaced by the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the Nonemployee
Director Stock Grant Plan would provide for a grant of 250 shares in 1994 to
nonemployee directors who received the 1992 and 1993 grants and a grant of
750 shares in three annual installments of 250 shares on a specified date to
each new nonemployee director whose service begins on or after January 1,
1994.
Upon the latest to occur of (1) retirement, (2) attaining age 65, or (3)
disability, directors who are not employees and who have served for at least
three years receive pensions for life equal to a percentage of the annual
retainer in effect at the time of retirement. This percentage is equal to
15 percent multiplied by the director's years of service (not to exceed
100 percent).
In 1993, the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries obtained legal services from
the law firm of Pillsbury Madison & Sutro, of which Ms. Rembe is a member, on
terms which the Corporation believes were as favorable as would have been
obtained from unaffiliated parties.

<PAGE>
The Corporation is a party to certain agreements with subsidiaries of
Transamerica Corporation ("Transamerica") whereby the Corporation or its
subsidiaries have the option or the obligation to purchase under specified
conditions the equity interests that the Transamerica subsidiaries have
acquired in certain Chicago cable television properties, at a price sufficient
to cover the costs Transamerica has incurred in connection with the
acquisition. Two subsidiaries of Transamerica borrowed $60 million from banks
to cover the acquisition costs, and the Corporation guaranteed the borrowings.
Interest accruing on the loans, which will be added to the loan amounts, may
accrue to a maximum of $136 million. The Transamerica subsidiaries will be
paid a total of $400,000 per year for the option, plus certain transaction
costs such as legal fees. The Transamerica subsidiaries were paid $416,446 in
1993 in connection with the transaction. Messrs. Ginn and Harvey are
directors of Transamerica. Mr. Herringer is President, Chief Executive
Officer and a director of Transamerica.
Transactions between the Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company ("H-P") for
equipment repair and maintenance, training and support amounted to $4,413,154
in 1993. In January 1994, Pacific Telesis Video Services ("PTVS") a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Corporation, and H-P announced a plan to work together
on an interactive video system to offer consumers video-on-demand services by
the end of the year. H-P will provide large video servers as the central
element of the PTVS system. This transaction is valued at approximately
$10 million. Mr. Platt is Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Hewlett-Packard Company.
Members of Mr. Gallegos' and Mr. Quigley's immediate families were employed by
Pacific Bell, a subsidiary of the Corporation, and were paid a total of
$134,792 in 1993. Amounts paid to these employees are comparable to
compensation paid to other employees performing similar job functions.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors has established the following ongoing principles and
objectives for the Corporation's executive compensation program.
o Provide compensation opportunities that will help attract, motivate
and retain highly qualified managers and executives.
o Link executives' total compensation to company performance and
individual job performance.
o Provide an appropriate balance between incentives focused on
achievement of annual business plans and longer term incentives linked
to increases in shareowner value.
The Corporation's executive compensation programs are approved and
administered by the C&P Committee. The program is designed to provide
competitive compensation opportunities for all corporate officers and
managers.
The Corporation retains the services of an outside executive compensation
consulting firm to advise the C&P Committee on executive compensation matters.
The consultant reviews the appropriateness of the design of the Corporation's
various plans in meeting the objectives set forth above.
In addition, the consultant provides the C&P Committee with aggregate data on
compensation paid to executives in comparable positions in other companies
that are representative of the labor markets in which the Corporation competes
for executive talent. These are companies that are comparable in complexity
to the Corporation and are of similar size which, in 1993, was approximately
$10 billion in revenues. The Corporation sets total compensation targets for
good performance in the middle of the range of rates paid by these companies.
Competitive data are derived from survey data bases maintained by various
consulting firms. These data bases may, but do not necessarily, include data
from the firms used in the peer group performance comparison shown at the end
of this section. The C&P Committee periodically reviews these data to ensure
the Corporation's pay levels are in line with its competitive targets.
Cash compensation of the Corporation's executive officers is highly related to
company performance. The Corporation's Short Term Incentive Plan ("STIP")
provides annual cash awards contingent upon the degree to which the company
meets or exceeds an annual net income goal determined during the annual
financial planning process and approved by the C&P Committee. These criteria
are used in determining awards for all other employees as well. Depending
upon performance actual awards can range from 0 to 150 percent of the annual
target award amount approved by the C&P Committee. In addition the C&P
Committee may grant from time to time special awards to recognize outstanding
contributions.
The Corporation's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") provides awards contingent
upon the achievement of performance objectives over a three-year period that
correlate strongly to shareowner returns. Awards are denominated in shares of
Common Stock and dividend equivalents are paid during the performance period.
At the end of the period, awards are paid either in shares of Common Stock or
in cash valued at the average price of the Common Stock for a ten-day period
10
<PAGE>
in January.
The current measures of performance under this plan are:
o Cash Flow Return on Investment in the third year of the performance
period.
o Cumulative Net Cash Flow over the three-year period.
o Total Investor Return relative to the Total Investor Return of four
comparator groups. These comparator groups are the Regional Holding
Companies, Independent Telecommunications Companies, California
Utilities and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The performance targets are set by the C&P Committee in consideration of the
performance levels projected in the Corporation's business plan and the levels
of return required to meet investor expectations. Investor return
expectations are based on an analysis of stock market data by an independent
third party.
Compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is
administered by the C&P Committee with concurrence of the Board of Directors.
The Corporation has adopted a philosophy of tying a large fraction of the
CEO's total compensation to performance. In 1993, Mr. Ginn's base salary was
set at a level somewhat below competitive average. Two-thirds of his target
total cash compensation was contingent on company performance.
Mr. Ginn's actual total cash compensation increased in 1993 as compared with
1992 primarily as a result of the increases in Mr. Ginn's 1993 bonus and his
LTIP award for the 1991-1993 award cycle compared to the amount paid for the
1990-1992 cycle. These increases reflect the degree to which financial and
other targets were achieved as well as strong improvement in total shareholder
return in 1993.
The 1994 Stock Incentive Plan contains provisions intended to exempt option
grants from the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code that
limits future tax deductions for certain compensation paid to the five highest
paid executives to $1 million per individual in any calendar year. The
Corporation believes that grants currently outstanding under the Corporation's
1984 Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan and LTIP are exempt from
the cap. The Corporation has not amended its other variable plans in
consideration of Section 162(m) as final regulations have not yet been
published and payments of base salary and the Company's STIP are not expected
to exceed $1 million for any covered executive for 1994. The final
regulations implementing Section 162(m) are expected later this year and the
Committee will review the Corporation's STIP and LTIP and take appropriate
action at that time.

PENSION PLANS
The Corporation has noncontributory pension plans (both qualified and non-
qualified) for salaried employees. These plans provide a monthly pension for
officers equal to 1.45 percent of base salary and the standard award under the
Short Term Incentive Plan ("Compensation") averaged over the last five years
of service multiplied by years of service. Effective January 1995, the years
of service for this purpose will not be more than the greater of 30 or the
actual years of service accrued as of December 31, 1994. An employee is
eligible for a pension at age 65 after completing five years of service.
Pensions may begin earlier with or without an early payment discount depending
upon age and length of service at retirement. Retirement is mandatory at age
65 for officers and other senior managers.
These plans also provide for a minimum pension of 45 percent of average
Compensation for the officer's last five years of employment that will be paid
to any officer designated as eligible to participate prior to January 25,
1992, who serves as an officer for ten years and leaves the Corporation in
good standing at age 55 or thereafter. This minimum pension is increased by
an additional one percent per year, up to a maximum of 50 percent, at 15 years
or more of service as an officer.
Executives who are hired at age 35 or over into a specified level of
management ("mid-career hires") and terminate after completing five or more
years of service at a specified level, receive additional pension credits
equal to the difference between 35 and their maximum possible years of service
attainable at age 65, not to exceed actual net credited service, at a rate of
1.0 percent per year, with a higher rate of 1.45 percent per year for those
years served as an officer.

benefits that would be received by an executive officer of the Corporation
retiring today at age 65 under the qualified and nonqualified plans. It

shown in the table generally are not subject to offsets for Social Security
benefits or other payments.

===========================================================================
Pensions under the plans may be paid as life annuities or joint and survivor
annuities or lump sum payment at retirement. Pensions under the qualified
plan are not subject to offset or forfeiture. Pensions under the nonqualified
plans are subject to forfeiture or reduction in certain circumstances.
The 1993 Compensation of Messrs. Ginn, Cox, Quigley, Odgers and Moberg covered
by the qualified and nonqualified pension plans is $1,230,000, $720,000,
$720,000, $475,000 and $475,000, respectively. The approximate estimated
credited years of service that will be used in calculating a pension benefit
of Messrs. Ginn, Cox, Quigley, Odgers and Moberg at age 65 retirement is 35,
31, 30, 14 and 34, respectively. Messrs. Ginn, Cox, Quigley and Moberg will
have 15 or more years of service as an officer at age 65, assuming they
continue as officers during the intervening period and thus would be entitled
to the greater of the amount determined under the table above or a minimum
pension benefit of 50 percent of the average annual Compensation during the
final five years of service. Mr. Odgers will have 14 years of service as an
officer at age 65 assuming he continues as an officer during the intervening
period, and thus should be entitled to the greater of the amount determined
under the table above or a minimum pension benefit equal to 49 percent of the
average annual Compensation during his final five years of service.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
The Corporation has entered into employment agreements with certain officers,
including Messrs. Ginn, Cox, Quigley, Odgers and Moberg, which provide for
payments in the event of an involuntary termination of employment. Such
agreements do not have a fixed term and may be terminated upon three years
notice. The agreements will automatically terminate upon the voluntary
resignation of the officer (see above discussion concerning officer
resignations expected at spin-off). The amount of the payments depends on
whether the involuntary termination occurs within three years after a "change
in control." If an officer's employment is involuntarily terminated for some
reason other than cause, death or disability, whether or not there has been a
change in control, the Corporation will make a cash payment of three times the
officer's base compensation then in effect, plus 100 percent of the standard
short term incentive award applicable for that calendar year and, if all long
term incentive units are forfeited, an amount equal to the value of a share of
Common Stock on the date of employment termination multiplied by the number of
long term incentive units granted for the performance period that ends in that
calendar year. In such event, the Corporation will also compensate the
officer for the termination of nonstatutory stock options and SARs, based on
the difference between fair market value of the Corporation's Common Stock at
the effective date of termination and the option price (in the case of SARs,
the difference between such fair market value and the option price at which
the stock option related to the SAR was granted).
Upon an involuntary termination (including a "constructive termination," which
is defined as a material reduction in responsibilities, a material reduction
in salary or benefits or a requirement to relocate) within three years after a
"change in control," the officer shall receive a severance payment, in
addition to the payments described in the succeeding paragraph, when
applicable, equal to approximately 200 percent of the officer's short and long
term incentive awards for one year. "Change in control" is defined generally
as a party's acquisition, direct or indirect, of 20 percent or more of the
Corporation's securities, a greater than one-third change in composition of
the Corporation's Board of Directors in 24 months that was not approved by the
majority of existing directors, or certain mergers, consolidations, sales or
liquidations of substantially all of the Corporation's assets. Without regard
to any other provision of the employment agreements, in the event that the
Corporation's auditors determine that any portion of the payment to be made
under the agreement is nondeductible by the Corporation because of Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code, payments under the agreements will be
reduced to the extent of the nondeductible amount.
In addition to the provisions of the employment agreements described above,
the Corporation has also entered into a supplemental benefit agreement with
Mr. Odgers under which, if he voluntarily terminates his employment, he would
receive a pension (payable in any of the forms available under the
nonqualified pension plans) equal to a percentage (increasing ratably for each
month of employment, beginning with 35 percent and ending with 45 percent in
the event of termination in or after October 1997) of his average annual
compensation (including base salary and the standard short term award under
the Short Term Incentive Plan) during the final five years of employment. The
agreement further provides that if Mr. Odgers is involuntarily terminated, or
if his position or compensation is materially reduced, he would receive a
18
<PAGE>
pension equal to 45 percent of his average annual compensation during his
final five years of employment. Any payments to Mr. Odgers under this
agreement would be offset by benefits payable to him under the qualified and
nonqualified plans of the Corporation described under "Pension Plans" in the
above discussion.
A trust has been established and assets have been contributed by the
Corporation, consisting of corporate-owned life insurance, cash and other
investments, from which benefits for officers under the Executive Deferral
Plan may be paid. The Board has also authorized the establishment of a
similar trust (with the contribution of assets in a similar manner) from which
various nonqualified executive retirement or pension benefits may be paid.
These trusts generally provide that the C&P Committee may issue instructions
to the trustee as to payment of benefits or that the Corporation will
contribute sufficient assets to the trust to fully fund benefit payments upon
a change in control.
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS (ITEM B ON PROXY CARD - DIRECTORS
RECOMMEND A VOTE "FOR")
Subject to shareowner ratification, the Board of Directors, upon
recommendation of the Audit Committee, has reappointed the firm of Coopers &
Lybrand, Certified Public Accountants, as independent accountants to audit the
financial statements of the Corporation for the year 1994. Coopers & Lybrand
has audited the Corporation's financial statements for many years. The Board
of Directors recommends that the shareowners vote "FOR" such ratification. If
the shareowners do not ratify this appointment, other certified public
accountants will be considered by the Board of Directors upon recommendation
of the Audit Committee.
For the year 1993, Coopers & Lybrand audited the financial statements of the
Corporation and some of its subsidiaries, and provided other audit services to
the Corporation in connection with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
filings, the review of interim financial statements and audits of pension and
other employee benefit plans.
One or more members of the firm are expected to be present at the Annual
Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do
so and to respond to appropriate questions.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS PROPOSAL TO APPROVE PACIFIC TELESIS GROUP 1994 STOCK
INCENTIVE PLAN (ITEM C ON PROXY CARD - DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE "FOR")
The Corporation's 1984 Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan expired
by its terms on December 31, 1993. The Board of Directors adopted the Pacific
Telesis Group 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Plan") at its regular
meeting on January 28, 1994, subject to the approval of the shareowners of the
Corporation. Accordingly, the following resolution will be presented for a
vote of the shareowners at the Annual Meeting and the Board recommends that it
be approved:
"RESOLVED that the adoption by the Board of Directors of a Pacific
Telesis Group 1994 Stock Incentive Plan effective on January 1, 1994 is
hereby approved, ratified and confirmed."
19
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors and management believe that the 1994 Stock Incentive
Plan will help attract and retain competitively superior employees and promote
long-term growth and profitability by further aligning employee and shareowner
interests. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on this
resolution is required for its adoption.
A summary of the essential features of the Stock Plan is provided below, but
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Plan
which was filed electronically with this proxy statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Such text is not included in the printed version of
this proxy statement.
SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE. The Stock Plan provides for awards in the form
of restricted shares, stock units, options or SARs, or any combination
thereof. To date, no awards have been made under the Stock Plan. The total
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Stock Plan
is 21,000,000, subject to anti-dilution provisions. If any restricted shares,
stock units, options or SARs granted under the Stock Plan are forfeited, or if
options or SARs terminate for any other reason prior to exercise, then the
underlying shares of Common Stock again become available for awards.
ADMINISTRATION AND ELIGIBILITY. The Stock Plan is administered by the C&P
Committee. The C&P Committee selects the employees of the Corporation or any
subsidiary who will receive awards, determines the size of the awards (limited
for options and SARs to awards covering not more than 500,000 shares of Common
Stock in any calendar year to a single employee) and establishes vesting or
other conditions. Employees, directors, consultants and advisers of the
Corporation (or any subsidiary of the Corporation) are eligible to participate
in the Stock Plan, although incentive stock options may be granted only to
employees. As of January 1, 1994, there were approximately 55,500 employees
of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and nine nonemployee directors
eligible for selection to receive awards under the Stock Plan. The number of
eligible consultants and advisers cannot be determined. The participation of
nonemployee directors of the Corporation is limited to certain automatic
grants of nonstatutory stock options and stock, except to the extent the
Corporation's Board of Directors implements provisions that would permit a
nonemployee director to convert the annual retainer and meeting fees to stock
options or stock units, as described below.
PAYMENT. In general, no payment will be required upon receipt of an award.
The Stock Plan, however, permits the grant of awards in consideration of a
cash payment or a voluntary reduction in cash compensation.
RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted shares are shares of Common Stock that are
subject to forfeiture in the event that any applicable vesting conditions are
not satisfied, and they are nontransferable prior to vesting (except for
certain transfers to a trustee). Restricted shares have the same voting and
dividend rights as other shares of Common Stock.
STOCK UNITS. A stock unit is an unfunded bookkeeping entry representing the
equivalent of one share of Common Stock, and it is nontransferable prior to
the holder's death (except for certain transfers to a trustee). A holder of
stock units has no voting rights or other privileges as a shareowner but may
be entitled to receive dividend equivalents equal to the amount of any
dividends paid on the same number of shares of Common Stock. Dividend
equivalents may be converted into additional stock units or settled in the
20
<PAGE>
form of cash, common stock or a combination of both.
Stock units, when vested, may be settled by distributing shares of Common
Stock or by a cash payment corresponding to the fair market value of the
appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both. The
number of shares of Common Stock (or the corresponding amount of cash)
distributed in settlement of stock units may be greater or smaller than the
number of stock units, depending upon the attainment of performance
objectives. Vested stock units will be settled at the time determined by the
C&P Committee. If the time of settlement is deferred, interest or additional
dividend equivalents may be credited on the deferred payment. The recipient
of restricted shares or stock units may pay all projected withholding taxes
relating to the award with Common Stock rather than cash.
STOCK OPTIONS. Options may include nonstatutory stock options ("NSOs") as
well as incentive stock options ("ISOs") intended to qualify for special tax
treatment. The term of an ISO cannot exceed 10 years, and the exercise price
of an ISO must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the effective date of grant. The Stock Plan permits the grant of
NSOs with an exercise price that varies according to a predetermined formula.
The exercise price of an option may be paid in any lawful form permitted by
the C&P Committee, including (without limitation) the surrender of shares of
Common Stock or restricted shares already owned by the optionee. The Stock
Plan also allows the optionee to pay the exercise price of an option by giving
"exercise/sale" or "exercise/pledge" directions. If exercise/sale directions
are given, a number of option shares sufficient to pay the exercise price and
any withholding taxes is issued directly to a securities broker or other
lender selected by the Corporation. The broker or other lender will hold the
shares as security and will extend credit for up to 50 percent of their market
value. The loan proceeds will be paid to the Corporation to the extent
necessary to pay the exercise price and any withholding taxes. Any excess
loan proceeds may be paid to the optionee. If the loan proceeds are
insufficient to cover the exercise price and withholding taxes, the optionee
will be required to pay the deficiency to the Corporation at the time of
exercise. The C&P Committee may also permit optionees to satisfy their
withholding tax obligation upon exercise of an NSO by surrendering a portion
of their option shares to the Corporation.
NSO grants are governed by Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Generally, no federal income tax is payable by a participant upon
the grant of an NSO. Under current tax law, if a participant exercises an
NSO, he or she will be taxed on the difference between the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the exercise date and the option exercise price. The
Corporation will be entitled to a corresponding deduction on its income tax
return upon the exercise of an NSO.
ISO grants are governed by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. Generally, no federal income tax is payable by a participant upon
the grant or upon the exercise of an ISO. Under current tax law, the
participant will be taxed upon disposition of the stock on the difference
between the exercise price and the amount received on disposition of the
stock. The length of time the participant holds the stock after exercise of
an ISO determines whether the income is taxed as capital gains income or part
compensation income and part capital gains income. The Corporation will not
be entitled to a corresponding deduction on its income tax return except to
21
<PAGE>
the extent the participant recognizes compensation income.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS ("SARs"). SARs permit the participant to elect to
receive any appreciation in the value of the underlying stock from the
Corporation, either in shares of Common Stock or in cash or a combination of
the two, with the C&P Committee having the discretion to determine the form in
which such payment will be made. The amount payable on exercise of a SAR is
measured by the difference between the market value of the underlying stock at
exercise and the exercise price. SARs may, but need not, be granted in
conjunction with options. Upon exercise of a SAR granted in tandem with an
option, the corresponding portion of the related option must be surrendered
and cannot thereafter be exercised. Conversely, upon exercise of an option to
which a SAR is attached, the SAR may no longer be exercised to the extent that
the corresponding option has been exercised. All options and SARs are
nontransferable prior to the optionee's death.
VESTING CONDITIONS. As noted above, the C&P Committee determines the number
of restricted shares, stock units, options or SARs to be included in the award
as well as the vesting and other conditions. The vesting conditions may be
based on the employee's service, his or her individual performance, the
Corporation's performance or other criteria. Vesting may be accelerated in
the event of the employee's death, disability or retirement, in the event of a
change in control with respect to the Corporation, or upon other events.
Moreover, the C&P Committee may determine that outstanding options and SARs
will become fully vested if it has concluded that there is a reasonable
possibility that a change in control will occur within six months thereafter.
For purposes of the Stock Plan, the term "change in control" is defined as
(1) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of at least 20 percent of the
outstanding securities of the Corporation by a person other than Telesis or an
employee benefit plan of the Corporation, (2) a greater than one-third change
in the composition of the Board over a period of 24 months (if such change was
not approved by a majority of the existing directors), (3) certain mergers and
consolidations involving the Corporation, (4) a liquidation of the Corporation
or (5) a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets. The
term "change in control" does not include a reincorporation of the Corporation
in a different state and certain other transactions.
LIMITATIONS UNDER TAX LAWS. Awards under the Stock Plan may provide that if
any payment (or transfer) by the Corporation to a recipient would be
nondeductible by the Corporation for federal income tax purposes pursuant to
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then the aggregate present value of
all such payments (or transfers) will be reduced to an amount which maximizes
such value without causing any such payments (or transfers) to be
nondeductible.
MODIFICATIONS. The C&P Committee is authorized, within the provisions of the
Stock Plan, to amend the terms of outstanding restricted shares or stock
units, to modify or extend outstanding options or SARs or to exchange new
options for outstanding options, including outstanding options with a higher
exercise price than the new options.
NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. Members of the Corporation's Board of Directors who
are not employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries will receive an
annual grant under the Stock Plan of 2,000 NSOs, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments. These grants are made at the conclusion of each regular Annual
22
<PAGE>
Meeting of the Corporation's shareowners to nonemployee directors who will
continue to serve on the Board thereafter. The exercise price will be equal
to the market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The NSOs will
become exercisable one year after the grant or, if earlier, in the event of
the director's death or total and permanent disability or in the event of a
change in control of the Corporation. The NSOs expire (1) ten years after the
date of grant, (2) 36 months after the termination of the director's service
due to disability or due to retirement after serving at least three years,
(3) 12 months after the director's death, and (4) three months after the
termination of the director's service for any other reason. This annual grant
of NSOs replaces the grants that would otherwise have been made to nonemployee
directors under the Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan, which was adopted
in 1990 and, contingent on shareowner approval of the Stock Plan, was
terminated by the Board of Directors effective December 31, 1993.
In addition, nonemployee directors appointed on or after January 1, 1994 will
receive three annual grants of 400 shares of stock, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments. The shares will be 100% vested on the date of grant. The first
such grant will occur on the later of the conclusion of the Annual Meeting in
1994 or such director's first appointment or election to the Board, and the
second and third such grants will occur at the conclusion of the Annual
Meeting of the shareowners of the Corporation in each of the two calendar
years next following the calendar year of the first such grant. Incumbent
nonemployee directors appointed on or after February 1, 1991 but before
January 1, 1994 will receive one grant of 400 shares of stock, subject to
anti-dilution adjustments. The shares will be 100% vested on the date of
grant. These grants of stock replace the grants that would otherwise have
been made under the Nonemployee Director Stock Grant Plan, which was adopted
in 1991 and, contingent on shareowner approval of the Stock Plan, was
terminated by the Board of Directors effective December 31, 1993.
Finally, the Corporation's Board may implement provisions of the Stock Plan
that permit a nonemployee director to elect to receive all or a portion of his
or her annual retainer and meeting fees in the form of NSOs or stock units to
be issued under the Stock Plan, provided the election is made at least six
months before such fees are payable.
23
<PAGE>
As described above, the selection of the employees of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries who will receive awards under the Stock Plan and the size of the
awards are generally to be determined by the C&P Committee in its discretion.
Thus, it is generally not possible to predict the benefits or amounts that
will be received by or allocated to particular individuals or groups of
employees nor to determine the benefits or amounts that would have been
received or allocated for 1993 if the Stock Plan had been in effect.
Nonemployee directors are the exception to this rule because, as stated above,
their participation is generally limited to certain automatic grants of
nonstatutory stock options and stock. The nonemployee directors of the
Corporation listed on the following table are expected to receive under the
Stock Plan the grants of nonstatutory stock options and shares of stock shown
on the table.

## It is not possible to accurately predict the dollar value of the
Corporation's stock as of any future date. The spin-off of the wireless
company is expected initially to reduce the price of the Corporation's
stock by an amount which may be greater or less than the difference
between the price of the Corporation's stock before the spin-off and the
price of the wireless company's stock before the spin-off. After the
spin-off, each company's stock will trade independently of the other.
For purposes of this table, a price of $31.00 was assigned to each share
of the Corporation's stock. This represents the difference between the
closing price of the Corporation's stock on February 28, 1994 and the
same day's closing price of the wireless company's stock, both as
reported in the Wall Street Journal.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND SECTION
162(m) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. The intent of the Stock Plan is to
comply with any rule under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including preservation of certain of the participants as disinterested persons
for purposes of the Company's employee plans. Awards of stock options and
stock appreciation rights under the Stock Plan that the C&P Committee
determines shall be granted with an exercise price no less than fair market
value on the date of grant are intended to meet the exception from Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for performance-based
compensation. The Board is empowered under the Stock Plan to make any
amendment it deems advisable, without requiring further shareowner approval,
including any amendments to comply with the rules under Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.
SHAREOWNER PROPOSALS
SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE THE STAGGERED BOARD (ITEM D ON PROXY CARD -
DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE "AGAINST")
Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis, 2600 Virginia Ave. N.W., Suite 215, Washington, D.C.
20037, record owner of 160 shares of Common Stock, has submitted the following
proposal:
"RESOLVED: That the shareholders of Pacific Telesis recommend that the
Board of Directors take the necessary steps to reinstate the election of
directors ANNUALLY, instead of the stagger system which was recently
adopted."
The Proponent's Statement in Support of the Proposal is as follows:
"REASONS: Until recently, directors of Pacific Telesis Group were
elected annually by all shareholders.
"The great majority of New York Stock Exchange listed corporations elect
all their directors each year.
"This insures that ALL directors will be more accountable to ALL
shareholders each year and to a certain extent prevents the self-
perpetuation of the Board.
"Last year the owners of 78,110,084 shares, representing approximately
27.75% of shares voting, voted FOR this proposal.
"If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution."
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "AGAINST" this proposal for the
following reasons:
The Board notes that this is the sixth consecutive year that the
proponent has submitted the identical proposal. Each year the proposal
25
<PAGE>
has been rejected; at the 1993 Annual Meeting by 203,337,607 shares, or
72.25 percent of the shares voted. The proposal would ask the Board of
Directors to recommend the repeal of a provision of the Corporation's
Articles of Incorporation. Repeal would require the affirmative vote of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at a
subsequent meeting of shareowners.
In the opinion of this Board, a staggered Board of Directors facilitates
continuity and stability of leadership and policy by assuring that
experienced personnel familiar with the Corporation and its business will
be on the Board of Directors at all times. The way the staggered
election of directors operates is that the number of directors in each
class is as nearly equal as possible, each director serves a three-year
term, and one of the three classes is elected each year. This staggered
election is similar to procedures which have been adopted by the
shareowners of many major corporations. In fact, more than half of the
other Fortune 500 companies provide for the staggered election of
directors. The staggered election of directors is intended to prevent
precipitous changes in the composition of the Board by preventing the
election of an entirely new Board in a single year. Preventing such a
precipitous change in control serves to moderate changes in corporate
policies, business strategies and operations. Although the directors
know of no events which would be likely to result in a precipitous
change, disruptive and potentially unfair tactics in attempts to gain
control of corporations persist. Creating separate classes of directors
elected in staggered years (board "classification") is intended to
encourage any person seeking to acquire control of the Corporation to
initiate action through arm's-length negotiations with management and the
Board of Directors, who are in a position to negotiate a transaction
which is in the best interest of all shareowners.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.
SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL TO INSTITUTE A SALARY CEILING ON SENIOR EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT COMPENSATION (ITEM E ON PROXY CARD - DIRECTORS
RECOMMEND A VOTE "AGAINST")
Mr. and Mrs. Jerome R. Mikulski, 4715 Caviou Place, Colorado Springs, Colorado
80918, record owners of 200 shares of Common Stock have submitted the
following proposal:
"RESOLVED: That the shareholders of Pacific Telesis Center recommend that the
Board of Directors take the necessary steps to institute a salary ceiling such
that no senior executive officer or director or consultant acting in the
capacity of an executive officer or director of the Company receive a combined
salary and other compensation which is more than one hundred and fifty (150%)
of the salary provided to the President of the United States."
The Proponent's Statement in support of the Proposal is as follows:
"REASONS: There is no corporation which exceeds the size or has the
complexity of the government of the United States run by the President of the
United States. Even most government agencies far exceed the size, as measured
by personnel and budget of any private corporation. The President of the
United States receives a salary of $200,000, while the heads of agencies and
26
<PAGE>
even members of Congress are paid somewhat in excess of $100,000.
"In order to overcome even the appearance that officers of public corporations
run the corporations for their benefit rather than for the benefit of the
shareholders, the salary and compensation should not exceed that set forth
above. Usually, there is no direct correlation between the profitability of a
corporation and the compensation to officers. In fact, in many corporations,
the compensation does not usually serve as an incentive for a better run or
more profitable corporation. Any officer who believes he can better his
corporation should be sufficiently motivated by stock options or by his
purchase of stock on the open market.
"There is a general consensus in the United States that corporate officials
are grossly overpaid and that this state of affairs is promulgated by the
"hands off" policy of Board of Directors. Many qualified people would gladly
step in and do as good a job as the incumbent officers of the Corporation and
they would have no hesitation to serve under the aforementioned ceiling on
compensation.
"If you agree, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution."
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "AGAINST" this proposal for the
following reasons:
Compensation of Pacific Telesis Group ("Telesis") executives is set by
the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors
(the "Committee") which is comprised solely of independent nonemployee
directors. The Committee, with the advice of an independent executive
compensation consultant, annually reviews comparative studies of
compensation levels and trends.
Telesis competes for executive talent in a highly competitive labor
market comprised of other employers of similar size and complexity. The
compensation opportunities provided to Telesis executives are set at
levels that will enable the company to attract and retain the highly
qualified individuals it needs to successfully lead the business and
generate returns to the company's shareholders.
Contrary to the proponent's assertion that executive compensation is
usually not correlated to profitability, actual compensation paid to
Telesis executives is highly related to the company's short-and long-term
performance. In fact, less than one-third of the total cash compensation
reported for 1993 for the top five executives in this year's proxy
statement is in the form of base salary. The remainder results from
payments under incentive plans directly based on short- and long-term
company performance. Moreover, additional motivation to increase
shareholder value is provided through stock options held, and stock
owned, by Telesis executives.
The Board of Directors believes the salaries paid to politicians in
government are not appropriate benchmarks for determining executive pay
levels. Politicians are motivated to enter public service for a variety
of reasons, including for example, a commitment to public service. Low
among those reasons is the actual level of base salary paid by
government. If salary were the key factor in attracting candidates for
the office of President, it is probably fair to say that many of the
27
<PAGE>
people who have run for that office would not have run.
Limiting the compensation as suggested by the proponent would severely
impair Telesis' ability to hire and keep executives of the caliber needed
to successfully lead the business on behalf of the shareholders. If
total compensation were reduced to the suggested cap of $300,000, many of
Telesis' top executives would be highly vulnerable to offers from other
employers who would offer substantially higher pay for the same levels of
responsibility. The Board believes it is in the shareholders' interests
to have people in executive positions who are best qualified to do their
jobs, not just anyone willing to accept a compensation package capped at
$300,000 per year.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.
SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL TO LINK CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION TO CORPORATE
PERFORMANCE (ITEM F ON PROXY CARD - DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE "AGAINST")
Mr. Chris Rossi, P.O. Box 249, Boonville, California 95415, record owner of
1,000 shares of Common Stock, has submitted the following proposal:
"Resolved, that the stockholders of Pacific Telesis recommend that the
board of directors adopt the following policy: As relates to future
contracts, the Chief Executive Officer's total compensation will be
determined as follows : The C.E.O.'s beginning total compensation will be
25 times more than the average Pacific Telesis employee's 1993 annual
wages or salary. The C.E.O.'s total compensation will go up or down in
direct proportions to the company's performance. To be determined as
follows : One half of the compensation shall go up or down gauged against
the nine year average earnings per common share (adjusted for stock
splits) from 1984 to 1992. The remaining one half shall go up or down
gauged against the nine year average dividends per common share (adjusted
for stock splits) from 1984 to 1992."
The Proponent's Statement in Support of the Proposal is as follows:
"The purpose of this proposal is to pay the Chief Executive Officer based
entirely on the company's performance. To do this you must pay gauged
against past performance. If the C.E.O. performs better the C.E.O. will
be paid more, if the C.E.O. performs worse, the C.E.O. will be paid less.
You also need a starting point, a base rate of 25 times more than the
average employee's compensation.
"For example, if the average Pacific Telesis employee earned $ 32,000.00
in 1993, the C.E.O. would have a beginning total compensation of 25 times
more or $ 800,000.00. Pacific Telesis nine year average earnings per
share is $2.55. If Pacific Telesis earnings per share in 1994 rose 20 %
to $ 3.06 , one half of the C.E.O.'s compensation would go up 20 % from
$400,000.00 to $ 480,000.00. On the other hand if Pacific Telesis'
earnings per share in 1994 fell 20 % to $ 2.04 , one half of the C.E.O.'s
compensation would fall 20 % to $ 320,000.00. The other half of the
C.E.O.'s compensation, $ 400,000.00 would rise, fall or stay the same
gauged against Pacific Telesis' nine year average dividend per share of
$ 1.77. The following year the process would repeat itself."
28
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote "AGAINST" this proposal for the
following reasons:
The Board notes that the proponent submitted an identical proposal at the
1993 Annual Meeting where it was rejected by 234,341,630 shares, or
82.75 percent of the shares voted.
The Board strongly believes in linking executive pay to company
performance and shareowners' interests. It has sought and received
expert advice from outside consultants in designing a Chief Executive
Officer pay program that it believes already very effectively meets the
objectives that are at the root of this shareowner proposal; that is, to
link executive pay to corporate performance.
Compensation of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer is highly
contingent upon success of the Corporation in meeting financial goals and
generating returns to shareowners. Base salaries provided less than one-
third of the total cash compensation package for the top five executives
in 1993. The remaining compensation is only paid when warranted by
performance.
o The Short Term Incentive Plan is designed to provide compensation
contingent upon the Corporation meeting an annual net income objective
approved by the C&P Committee of the Board of Directors. Target
awards under the plan for meeting the goal are set at competitive
levels. Payouts are reduced for performance below goal and, no
payment is made to the Chief Executive Officer for performance below
75 percent of goal.
o The Senior Management Long Term Incentive Plan is designed to provide
compensation contingent upon the Corporation meeting three-year
financial objectives that are strongly correlated to increases in
shareowner value. The measures of financial performance under this
plan are outlined on page 15 (LTIP Chart).
o In addition to the degree to which performance goals are met, payout
under the Long Term Incentive Plan is affected by Total Investor
Return over the three-year period relative to the Total Investor
Return of peer companies. Even when internal goals are met, if
shareowner returns are lower than those of other comparable companies,
payment to the Chief Executive Officer is reduced.
o Finally, awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan are denominated in
shares of the Corporation's stock and dividend equivalents are paid
during the three-year award period. This provides another direct tie
to changes in shareowner value during the period.
o Stock options for the Chief Executive Officer provide an additional
direct link to shareowner value over a longer term of up to ten years.
If share prices do not increase, there is no reward to the Chief
Executive Officer. If share prices do increase, Chief Executive
Officer reward is only a small fraction of the benefit delivered to
all shareowners.
29
<PAGE>
The Board believes the Rossi shareowner proposal is unnecessary and
undesirable for this Corporation because, through the programs outlined
above, Chief Executive Officer compensation is already strongly linked to
corporate performance. This linkage between Chief Executive Officer pay
and the Corporation's results is clearly demonstrated by the variations
in pay levels reported in the preceding sections of this proxy statement.
Mr. Rossi's proposal would tie compensation to changes in earnings per
share ("EPS"). Tying compensation to changes in EPS and dividends is not
in the best interest of the shareowners. Increases (or decreases) in EPS
have been shown to be a poor indicator of changes in shareowner value.
The Corporation's long term plans now are based on achieving cash flow
return on investment targets that are strongly correlated to increases in
shareowner value. Dividends alone do not produce shareowner value.
Total Investor Return is a combination of share price movement and
dividends. The Corporation's current Long Term Incentive Plan is based
in part on Total Investor Return relative to peer group companies.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.
OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING
The proxy card, in addition to voting choices specifically marked, and unless
otherwise indicated by the shareowner, confers discretionary authority on the
named proxy holders to vote on any matter that properly comes before the 1994
Annual Meeting of Shareowners which is not described in these proxy materials.
At the time this proxy statement went to press, the Corporation knew of no
other matters which might be presented for shareowner action at the Annual
Meeting.
The federal proxy rules specify what constitutes timely submission for a
shareowner proposal to be included in the proxy statement. If a shareowner
desires to bring business before the meeting which is not the subject of a
proposal timely submitted for inclusion in the proxy statement, the shareowner
must follow procedures outlined in the Corporation's By-Laws. A copy of these
procedures is available upon request from the Secretary of the Corporation,
130 Kearny Street, Suite 3713, San Francisco, California 94108. One of the
procedural requirements in the By-Laws is timely notice in writing of the
business the shareowner proposes to bring before the meeting. Notice must be
received not less than 25 days nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting. It
should be noted that these By-Law procedures govern proper submission of
business to be put before a shareowner vote and do not preclude discussion by
any shareowner of any business properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
If a shareowner wants to nominate a person for election to the Board of
Directors other than a director nominated by the Nominating Committee, notice
of the proposed nomination must be delivered to or mailed and received by the
Secretary of the Corporation not less than 25 days prior to the meeting. A
copy of the By-Law provisions governing the requirements for notice is
available upon request from the Secretary of the Corporation.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
The Corporation will pay all costs of distribution and solicitation of
proxies. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be
reimbursed their reasonable fees and expenses incurred in forwarding proxy
materials to beneficial owners. Corporate Investor Communications, Inc. has
been retained at an estimated cost of $16,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. This solicitation will be
by mail, telephone and other means.
PROPOSALS FOR THE 1995 ANNUAL MEETING
Shareowner proposals intended for presentation at the Corporation's 1995
Annual Meeting of Shareowners must be received at the Corporation's principal
executive offices no later than November 12, 1994. Proposals must comply with
Rule 14a-8 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
MULTIPLE COPIES OF SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREOWNERS
The Corporation's 1993 Summary Annual Report to Shareowners has been mailed to
shareowners. If more than one copy of the Summary Annual Report is sent to
your address, we will discontinue the mailing of reports on the accounts you
select if you mark the designated box on the appropriate proxy card(s).
Mailing of dividends, dividend reinvestment statements, proxy materials and
special notices will not be affected by your election to discontinue duplicate
mailings of the Summary Annual Report to Shareowners.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REVIEW
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW
Pacific Telesis Group (the "Corporation") includes a holding company, Pacific
Telesis; its telephone subsidiaries: Pacific Bell and its subsidiaries,
Pacific Bell Directory and Pacific Bell Information Services, and Nevada Bell
(the "Telephone Companies"); PacTel Corporation ("PacTel") and its
subsidiaries which have wireless telecommunications operations; and several
smaller diversified entities. The Telephone Companies provide local exchange
service, network access, toll service, directory advertising, and selected
information services in California and Nevada. PacTel provides cellular,
paging, radiolocation, and other wireless telecommunications services in the
United States, Europe, and the Pacific Rim.
The Corporation's primary financial goal is to build long-term value for our
shareowners. Since our stock began trading on November 21, 1983, shareowners
have earned a total return of 421 percent as of December 31, 1993, among the
highest in the industry. Total return includes stock price appreciation and
dividends. Returns for each of the last five years are listed on page F-25.
In building value for our shareowners, our efforts have been focused on
expanding the Corporation's core businesses, investing in technology, reducing
costs, developing new products and services, and supporting changes in public
policy and regulation. To further enhance shareowner value and to meet the
challenges facing our industry, the Corporation's Board of Directors (the
"Board") announced a plan in December 1992 to spin off PacTel's domestic and
international wireless operations. In March 1994, the Board announced its
final decision to spin off PacTel's operations effective April 1, 1994. The
Corporation will continue to own the Telephone Companies, along with several
smaller diversified units including real estate assets.
PLANNED SPIN-OFF
The decision to spin off PacTel was based on a comprehensive evaluation of the
economic, financial, regulatory, and technological factors in the
telecommunications industry. Management believes that the two separated
businesses will be able to focus resources and pursue separate core businesses
more effectively. PacTel will have available more alternatives to raise the
capital necessary to take advantage of burgeoning opportunities in global
markets. Our Telephone Companies will continue investing in intelligent
networks that will provide customers with services they will require in the
next century. Separation will also broaden investors' options with two
distinct equity investments: one of the nation's largest local
telecommunications businesses and one of the world's largest wireless
enterprises.
F-1
<PAGE>
In November 1993, the California Public Utilities Commission (the "CPUC")
adopted a decision permitting the spin-off to proceed (see "Pending Regulatory
Issues" on page F-22). In connection with the separation, the Corporation and
PacTel in December 1993 completed an initial public offering of 68.5 million,
or 14 percent, of PacTel's common shares, raising about $1.5 billion. As of
the spin-off date, the remaining 86 percent of PacTel's common shares
currently held by the Corporation will be distributed to the Corporation's
shareowners in proportion to their shares in the Corporation. Each shareowner
will receive one share of PacTel stock for each Pacific Telesis Group share
held prior to the spin-off. The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has
ruled that the distribution qualifies as a tax-free transaction to
shareowners. The distribution will be accounted for as a stock dividend. In
February 1994, PacTel announced a new corporate name and identity which it
will use after the spin-off. The new corporate name is AirTouch
Communications.
We believe the spin-off will eliminate many of the financial, legal and
regulatory constraints that have impeded the Corporation's efforts to grow and
compete. Because of their affiliation with the Telephone Companies, PacTel's
wireless operations have been subject to these restraints, including those
established as part of the divestiture of the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company ("AT&T"). And, as discussed later, the spin-off will allow Pacific
Telesis Group and PacTel both to compete for licenses in emerging personal
communications services markets. In summary, we expect the spin-off to
position the separate companies to better respond to the challenges they will
face and to continue to grow and pursue new opportunities. To the extent
PacTel is successful in its pursuit of new wireless licenses, PacTel will
incur start-up expenses similar to its initial investments in its German
cellular and other international wireless ventures. These start-up expenses,
at least in the short-term, will have a dilutive effect on PacTel's future
earnings. (See also "PacTel Corporation and Subsidiaries Supplemental
Financial Information" beginning on page F-65.)
CONTINUING TELEPHONE OPERATIONS
The Telephone Companies are facing difficult challenges ahead -- increasing
competition for existing services; a changing environment for the provision of
new services; and, for Pacific Bell, a stagnant California economy. These
challenges, along with our strategies to create long-term shareowner value,
are discussed below.
o Competition
The most significant challenge facing the Telephone Companies in 1994 is
increasing competition for existing services. However, we welcome the
opportunity to compete if public policies allow for a level playing field.
Although facing increased competition, the Telephone Companies expect to be
strong competitors in terms of price, service, and use of advanced
technologies. Revenues from the services discussed below will be subject to
increased competition.
F-2
<PAGE>
Toll Services Competition
In September 1993, the CPUC announced a decision in Phase III of its
investigation into alternative regulatory frameworks for local exchange
carriers in California. The decision provided that, beginning in 1994, long-
distance and other telecommunications companies would be allowed to compete
with Pacific Bell and other local telephone companies in providing toll
service, among other services. The decision would have also lowered local
exchange company toll and switched access rates, while increasing basic rates,
bringing each closer to cost. Other rates would have also changed. Overall,
the CPUC's order was intended to be revenue neutral; that is, the effect of
rate decreases would be offset by the effect of rate increases.
In October 1993, the CPUC rescinded its September decision after questions
were raised about its decision-making process. The CPUC has requested
additional comments on its original decision. The Corporation expects a final
decision in 1994, but is unable to predict the revenue impacts of the decision
and the increased competition that will follow.
In Nevada, the Public Service Commission of Nevada ("PSCN") has adopted a rule
change permitting limited intra-service area competition. In September 1993,
the PSCN ordered that interexchange carriers and resellers may offer special
access and certain specialized services such as 800/900 calling within intra-
service areas. The PSCN also authorized a one-year trial on opening certain
calls to competition, including those placed through operator services. When
the trial is completed, the PSCN will decide whether to consider competition
for other services.
Interstate Special Access Competition
Effective in June 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC")
ordered expanded network interconnection for interstate special access
services. Special access services are used primarily by large businesses to
connect to their branch offices or to interexchange carriers. The decision
requires large local exchange carriers ("LECs"), including the Telephone
Companies, to offer expanded interconnection to customers, including other
access providers. The decision permits these customers to locate their
transmission facilities in the LEC's central offices. The Telephone Companies
have filed a petition for review of this FCC decision with the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The Corporation is unable to predict the
outcome of this appeal. Pacific Bell currently has orders from Competitive
Access Providers to locate facilities in 18 of its central offices, with more
requests expected to follow. The FCC also granted additional, but limited,
pricing flexibility to the LECs to respond to the increased competition that
will result. Interstate special access revenues subject to increased
competition represent less than three percent of the Telephone Companies'
total revenues.
Switched Transport Competition
Effective in February 1994, the FCC ordered LECs, including the Telephone
Companies, to provide all interested customers, including competitors, with
expanded interconnection for interstate switched transport services. The LECs
must allow interconnectors to physically locate their transmission facilities
in the LECs' central offices, and certain other LEC locations, in order to
terminate their own switched transport facilities. The Telephone Companies
F-3
<PAGE>
have filed a petition for review of this FCC decision with the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The Court has held this case in abeyance
pending the Court's decision in the appeal of the FCC's special access
collocation order. Switched transport services help connect a business or
residential customer with an interexchange carrier. One of the FCC's goals is
to promote increased competition for these services. The FCC also granted
additional, but limited, pricing flexibility for these services so that the
LECs can better respond to the competition that will result. Revenues from
interstate switched transport services represent approximately three percent
of the Telephone Companies' total revenues. Rates reflecting the new rules
became effective in early 1994.
To facilitate expanded interconnection for switched transport services, the
FCC ordered a new interim rate structure effective December 1993. Under the
new structure, interexchange carriers pay different rates based on volume,
distance and other factors. The FCC intends these interim rates to be revenue
neutral. Pacific Bell has petitioned the FCC for reconsideration of this
decision, contending that the interim rate structure will cause revenue
losses. The Corporation is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.
In August 1993, the CPUC issued a proposal to allow competition in the
provision of intrastate switched transport services. The CPUC proposes to
allow competitors to locate transmission facilities in Pacific Bell's central
offices; adopt a new transport rate structure that includes pricing
flexibility for dedicated traffic; and authorize competition for switched
transport services within the state. Revenues from intrastate switched
transport services represent approximately four percent of Pacific Bell's
total revenues. The Corporation is unable to predict the outcome of this
proceeding.
Open Network Access/Local Competition
In April 1993, the CPUC initiated an investigation to establish a framework to
govern open network access; i.e., access to services labeled "bottleneck."
The CPUC proposes to adopt specific requirements for the unbundling and
nondiscriminatory provision of functions underlying services provided by
dominant telecommunications providers. Functions considered bottleneck and
subject to open access for competitive telecommunications providers include
all transport, switching, call processing and call management. In comments
filed in February 1994, Pacific Bell urged the CPUC to recognize that
widespread competition exists throughout the telecommunications industry and
asked the CPUC to consider rules for local competition immediately.
Pacific Bell's proposal calls for the separation of the loop (the telephone
line between a customer's location and the telephone company's central office)
from the switch (the central office equipment that selects the paths to be
used for transmission of information). This would allow competitors to
connect to Pacific Bell's network to carry calls. Eventually, customers would
be able to decide whether they want Pacific Bell to provide all of their
telecommunications services, including local service, or if they want to
subscribe to another provider for dialtone and other services. Pacific Bell
also believes it should be given the opportunity to compete in other markets,
such as long-distance, cable television programming and manufacturing. This
could bring great benefits to consumers by offering additional alternatives.
The Corporation is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

<PAGE>
Streamlined Regulation
In December 1993, the CPUC released a report to the governor of California
proposing streamlined regulation of telecommunications companies. The report
states that the benefits of deregulation and fostering advanced
telecommunications in California would be substantial. It predicts that
expanded use of telecommunications will create new products and services, new
job opportunities and could increase the productivity of the state's
businesses. The CPUC proposes that within the next year California should:
streamline regulation where markets are workably competitive; continue the
CPUC's focus on consumer protection in all markets; develop policies and
partnerships that encourage consumer demand and the increased use of advanced
telecommunications networks; and, establish a grant program to enhance
development and use of advanced telecommunications in schools and libraries.
Additionally, the CPUC proposed that within three years California open all
markets to all competitors, thereby making the state an "open competition
zone." It would also restructure universal service funding, and gradually
redefine the concept of basic service to ensure that all residents benefit
from advanced telecommunications technologies. In addition, it would make
digital access to networks available as a prelude to making switched video and
mobile services available throughout the state by the end of the decade.
By opening markets to competition, the policies proposed by the CPUC would
increase demand for and stimulate the private development of new types of
telecommunications and video services, bringing innovative new products into
businesses, homes, and communities. Various elements of these proposals
require consideration by the California Legislature as well as formal review
by the CPUC.
In Nevada, the PSCN has opened a proceeding to consider revising existing
regulations for telecommunications providers which we hope will streamline
regulation in Nevada.
The Corporation continues to support changes in public policy and regulation
that will allow it to offer the products and services that customers want.
o Changing Industry Environment
Another challenge facing the Telephone Companies is the accelerating
convergence of the telecommunications, computer and video industries. The new
information services industry is being shaped by advances in digital and
fiber-optic technologies that will make possible the provision of interactive
broadband services by the Telephone Companies as well as others. Although
this convergence will bring further competition, it also means unprecedented
opportunities to enter new businesses from which we have been barred
historically. The Clinton administration has indicated it will support
legislation to remove many of the legal restrictions that have prevented
telephone companies from offering video services. The administration has also
indicated it will support the removal of restrictions which prevent the
Regional Holding Companies ("RHCs") from providing long-distance services.
Similar proposals have been made by the CPUC to the governor. The public
policy initiatives discussed below will determine the terms and conditions
under which the Telephone Companies may offer new services in this dynamic
marketplace.
F-5
<PAGE>
Video Services
The FCC currently permits LECs, including the Telephone Companies, to provide
a tariffed basic platform that will deliver video programming developed by
others ("video dialtone") and to provide certain other services to customers
of this basic platform. Services authorized by the current FCC rules are
primarily limited to video gateways, video customer premises equipment, and
billing and collection. In December 1993, Pacific Bell filed an application
with the FCC seeking authority to offer video dialtone services in specific
locations in four of its service areas: the San Francisco Bay Area; Los
Angeles; San Diego; and Orange County.
In November 1993, the Corporation sued to overturn the 1984 Federal Cable
Act's provision barring telephone companies from providing video programming
in their own service areas. The Cable Act bars telephone companies from
having any ownership stake in video programming services, although it permits
them to carry other companies' programs. The Corporation believes that video
programming is a form of speech protected by the First Amendment of the United
States Constitution. If our suit is successful, the Corporation plans to
begin providing programming in California as soon as the technology is
deployed.
In November 1993, legislation was introduced in Congress that would permit
LECs, including the Telephone Companies, to provide video programming to
subscribers in their own service areas, subject to separate subsidiary
requirements and other safeguards. The legislation would also permit
competition in the provision of local telephone service and allow access to
LEC facilities by competitors.
Information and Long-Distance Services
In July 1991, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia removed the
information services prohibition of the 1982 Consent Decree related to the
divestiture of AT&T (the "Consent Decree"). In May 1993, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the removal of this ban. In
November 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the Appeals Court
decision. The removal of this ban allows the Telephone Companies to offer a
variety of new information services, subject to regulatory approvals, such as
enhanced voice mail and electronic yellow pages. In November 1993, Pacific
Bell filed an application with the CPUC stating its intent to enter the
electronic publishing business, either by itself or through an affiliate.
In July 1993, five of the RHCs, including the Corporation, filed a petition
with the FCC asking for new rules governing the provision of long-distance
services. The RHCs are currently prohibited from providing long-distance
services by the terms of the Consent Decree. Even with a favorable ruling
from the FCC, the RHCs must still obtain relief from the Consent Decree from
Congress, or the courts, before providing long-distance services.
In November 1993, legislation was introduced in Congress that would ease many
of the provisions of the Consent Decree that prohibited the Telephone
Companies from manufacturing telephone equipment or providing long-distance
services. The legislation would set conditions and establish waiting periods
of up to five years before the RHCs could enter these businesses. It would
also impose stringent separate subsidiary requirements on electronic
publishing ventures.

<PAGE>
o California Economy
In contrast to the national economy, California's economy did not rebound in
1993. At best, the California recession started to ease near year-end as the
unemployment rate dipped. However, with the state's jobless rate two to three
percentage points above the nation's rate for most of the year, job seekers
left or were deterred from coming to California. This caused the state's
population growth rate to slow.
The recession continued to dampen demand for Pacific Bell's services. Access
line growth at Pacific Bell was about 2.2 percent in 1993, somewhat improved
from the 2.0 percent increase in 1992. However, in the late 1980s access line
growth was more than 4.0 percent annually. Minutes of use for Pacific Bell
rose 6.1 percent in 1993, down from a 6.7 percent growth rate in 1992. On the
other hand, in Nevada the economy and Nevada Bell's growth in access lines and
minutes-of-use were strong. During 1993, Nevada Bell's access lines and
minutes-of-use grew 4.5 and 10.7 percent, respectively.
In 1994, the California economy is expected to slowly reorient toward growth,
but at a far less rapid pace than in other modern recessions. The
opportunities for economic growth in 1995 and 1996 will continue to be
constrained by the ongoing cutbacks in defense spending, base closings, and
slow state and local government spending. These weaknesses may limit the
scope of any recovery for 1994. However, California's telecommunications
markets remain among the nation's most attractive.
As discussed below, the Telephone Companies are focusing on several key
strategies in response to the challenges they face. As the industry
environment changes and competition intensifies, the Telephone Companies are
taking the steps necessary to remain the customer's choice. These strategies
include reducing costs by reengineering core processes, lowering prices for
existing competitive services, and offering new products and services
customers want.
Reduce Costs
- ------------
To remain the customer's choice, the Corporation must increase productivity
and reduce costs. In 1993, Pacific Bell reduced its workforce by about 1,500
employees. As a result, employees per ten thousand access lines for the
Telephone Companies decreased 4.6 percent, while revenues per employee
increased 5.1 percent.
Looking ahead, Pacific Bell has begun a major effort to reengineer its
internal business processes. This effort confronts an increasingly
competitive and complex telecommunications environment by streamlining and
consolidating operations, including business offices, network, installation
and collection centers, as well as other facilities. This will result in a
more efficient company through the closure and abandonment of redundant
operations. As a result, Pacific Bell has announced a force reduction program
that will result in a net reduction of 10,000 positions from 1994 through
1997. (See "Operating Expenses" on page F-13 for discussion of related 1993
restructuring charge.)
F-7
<PAGE>
Reengineering is a bold step by Pacific Bell to provide reliable, powerful and
yet competitively-priced telecommunications services to its customers in
California. Based on current estimates, the future expense savings as a
result of reengineering and the associated force reduction program should be
about $170 million in 1994, with savings growing to nearly $1 billion annually
in four years. In addition, effective in December 1993, Pacific Bell and the
Pacific Telesis holding company deferred management salary increases for an
indefinite period pending a review of 1994 business needs.
At Nevada Bell, an early retirement program was offered during November 1993
under which approximately 70 employees elected early retirement.
Lower Prices for Competitive Services
- -------------------------------------
The CPUC's formal authorization of competition into Pacific Bell's intra-
service area toll market is expected in 1994. To be competitive, Pacific Bell
has proposed price reductions in toll services of up to 60 percent. The
proposed revenue decrease would be essentially offset by increased basic
rates, moving both toll and basic rates closer to the actual cost of providing
those services. (See also "Toll Services Competition" discussion on
page F-3.)
Offer New Products and Services Customers Want
- ----------------------------------------------
In order to offer the new products and services customers want, the Telephone
Companies have been making substantial investments to improve the telephone
networks. During 1993, the Telephone Companies invested $1.9 billion in the
networks. In addition, Pacific Bell has been conducting personal
communications services ("PCS") experiments since June 1991 with help from an
affiliate, Telesis Technologies Laboratory, Inc.
Advanced Network Services
To meet customer demand for faster and more reliable services as well as
demand for new products and services, the Telephone Companies have made
substantial investments in advanced digital technologies. The focus of these
investments has been in the key technologies summarized below:
December 31
--------------------
Technology Deployment 1993 1992
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Access lines served by digital switches ................ 52% 44%
Access lines with SS-7 capability ...................... 79% 66%
Access lines with ISDN capability ...................... 60% 44%
Miles of installed optical fiber (thousands) ........... 375 312
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Digital switches and optical fiber increase the capacity and reliability of
transmitted data while reducing maintenance costs. ISDN (Integrated Services
Digital Network) allows simultaneous voice, video and data over a single
telephone line. Signaling Systems 7 ("SS-7") permits faster call setup and
new custom calling features.
F-8
<PAGE>
In November 1993, Pacific Bell announced a capital investment plan totaling
$16 billion over the next seven years to upgrade its core network
infrastructure and to begin building California's "communications
superhighway." This will be an integrated telecommunications, information and
entertainment network providing advanced voice, data and video services.
Using a combination of fiber optics and coaxial cable, Pacific Bell expects to
provide broadband services to more than 1.5 million homes by the end of 1996
and more than 5.0 million homes by the end of the decade. As part of its
current plan, Pacific Bell has made purchase commitments totaling nearly
$600 million in accordance with its previously announced $1 billion program
for deploying an all digital switching platform with ISDN and SS-7
capabilities by 1997.
In January 1994, Pacific Telesis Video Services, announced an advanced
interactive television services trial that will let participants help decide
what will be on California's communications superhighway. The trial will test
consumer acceptance of sophisticated services such as multi-player games,
interactive home shopping and educational programs, movies-on-demand, and
time-shifted television programs.
Capital expenditures in 1994 for the Telephone Companies are forecast to be
$1.9 billion, including $1,136 million for projects designed to generate
revenues and $589 million for projects designed to reduce costs. Capital
expenditures under Pacific Bell's seven year investment plan are not expected
to increase until 1996 due to the timing of capital expenditures associated
with the construction of the broadband network.
Personal Communications Services
In October 1993, the FCC issued an order allocating radio spectrum and
setting forth licensing requirements to provide PCS. PCS relies on a network
of small, low-powered transceivers that may be placed throughout a
neighborhood, business complex or community to provide customers with mobile
voice and data communications. The FCC established two different sizes of
service areas nationwide for PCS: 47 large areas referred to as Major Trading
Areas ("MTAs") and 487 smaller areas. The MTA licenses are for 30 megahertz
("MHz") of spectrum. In any given area, there will be as many as seven
licenses, including two MTA licenses. Most of the licenses will be awarded by
competitive bidding in auctions scheduled for 1994. The Corporation plans to
aggressively pursue PCS licenses at these auctions and is well placed to be
part of the expected multi-billion dollar market for PCS.
On December 23, 1993, the FCC awarded a "pioneer preference" to another
company for one of the two larger MTA licenses covering the Los Angeles, San
Diego, and Las Vegas market area. That company will receive the license
without charge. This is expected to place the successful bidder for the
remaining MTA license in that area at a significant competitive disadvantage
because of its higher cost structure. Winning bids in major PCS markets are
expected to require large capital expenditures. The Corporation has filed a
letter with the FCC asserting that improper contacts were made with the FCC by
the parties who were awarded pioneer preferences.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussions and data focus primarily on the results of
operations of the Telephone Companies. PacTel's operations have been
classified separately within the Corporation's financial statements as "spin-
off operations" and are excluded from the amounts of revenues and expenses of
the Corporation's "continuing operations" as discussed in this section. (See
"PacTel Corporation and Subsidiaries Supplemental Financial Information"
beginning on page F-65.)

The 1993 reported loss of $1.5 billion for the Corporation as a whole, or
$3.63 per share, reflects charges relating to the adoption of new accounting
rules for postretirement and postemployment benefits, a restructuring charge
relating to Pacific Bell's planned force reductions, and several other
restructuring charges and one-time items. (See "Operating Expenses" and
"Cumulative Effect of Accounting Changes" on pages F-13 and F-18,
respectively.) After tax, the charges for the accounting changes reduced
earnings applicable to continuing operations for the year by $1.7 billion, or
$4.16 per share. The restructuring charges reduced earnings by $861 million,
or $2.08 per share. Without these charges, and other one-time effects,
earnings from continuing operations would have decreased slightly compared to
the prior year. For the Corporation as a whole, reported earnings without
one-time items increased by about three percent.
Looking ahead, short-term results are expected to continue to be affected by
increasing competition in the Telephone Companies' markets and a continuing
recession in California. However, long-term growth prospects and recovery of
the California economy should provide opportunity for stronger earnings.
In 1992, earnings from continuing operations increased $242 million, or
$.54 per share, but included about $37 million in one-time items related to
prior years. In addition, earnings for 1991 had been reduced by an after-tax
restructuring charge of $122 million, or $.30 per share, associated with the
costs of force reduction programs. Without this charge, and other one-time
effects, the 1992 increase in earnings from continuing operations would have
been about eight percent.

subsequent toll message volumes. As a result, comparison of 1992
volumes with 1991 volumes is not meaningful.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total operating revenues ..... $9,244 $136 $9,108 -$60 $9,168
1.5% -0.7%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1993, the Telephone Companies' total operating revenues increased
reflecting net growth in customer demand and a CPUC order granting partial
recovery of Pacific Bell's higher costs due to the new accounting rules for
postretirement benefits ("PBOPs"). (See "Other Postretirement Benefits Costs"
discussion on page F-22.) Also contributing to the year-over-year increase
was a refund in 1992 ordered by the CPUC related to the treatment of enhanced
services development costs (the "Product Development Refund") which lowered
Pacific Bell's comparative 1992 revenues. These increases were partially
offset by a $120 million rate reduction for productivity and other factors
from the 1993 CPUC price cap order, Pacific Bell's annual rate adjustment
determination under incentive-based regulation.
In December 1993, the CPUC approved Pacific Bell's annual price cap filing for
1994 in which Pacific Bell had proposed a $105 million rate reduction. This
reduction includes a decrease of $85 million because the 4.5 percent
productivity factor of the price cap formula exceeded the increase in the
Gross National Product Price Index by 1.3 percent. The filing also included
several additional factors which will decrease revenues by an additional
$20 million.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Local service revenues include basic monthly service fees and usage charges.
Fees and charges for custom calling features, coin phones, installation, and
service connections are also included in this category. The 1993 increase in
local service revenues due to customer demand in the above table reflects a
2.2 percent increase from a year ago in customer access lines. It also
includes $13 million for new custom calling features introduced in 1993.
Network access revenues reflect charges to interexchange carriers and to
business and residential customers for access to the Telephone Companies'
local networks. The increase in interstate network access revenues due to
customer demand reported above reflects a 6.8 percent increase in carrier
access minutes-of-use over 1992, as well as increased access lines. The
increase in intrastate network access revenues due to customer demand reflects
5.2 percent growth in minutes-of-use.
Toll service revenues include charges for long-distance services within
service area boundaries. Competition and the California recession combined to
reduce toll service revenues due to customer demand in 1993.
Other service revenues are generated from a variety of services including
directory advertising, information services, and billing and collection
provided by the Telephone Companies. Other service revenues for 1993 includes
an increase in information service revenues of $25 million chiefly due to the
success of Pacific Bell's business and residential voice mail products. The
increase was partially offset by a $14 million decrease in Pacific Bell's
directory advertising revenues over the year due to the continuing recession
in California.
F-12
<PAGE>
In 1992, the Telephone Companies' total operating revenues decreased. Rate
reductions substantially offset revenue increases of $218 million from net
growth in customer demand. The rate reductions included $132 million from the
1992 CPUC price cap order, along with miscellaneous rate reductions. The
Product Development Refund in 1992 also lowered revenues in comparison to
1991. Two items affected individual revenue categories in 1992, but had
little impact on total revenues. A CPUC rate shift program which ended in
1992 shifted a portion of Pacific Bell's revenues from intrastate network
access to local and toll service revenues. In addition, the expansion of
Pacific Bell's local calling areas from 8 to 12 miles in June 1991 lowered
toll revenues, but was accompanied by a substantially offsetting increase in
local service revenues.
Operating Expenses

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total operating expenses ..... $8,582 $1,557 $7,025 -$192 $7,217
22.2% -2.7%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in total operating expenses for 1993 reflects pre-tax
restructuring charges recorded by the Corporation during the year totaling
$1.431 billion. Without these restructuring charges, and other one-time
effects, 1993 expenses would have increased slightly compared to the prior
year.
The largest of the 1993 restructuring charges is a $977 million charge by
Pacific Bell to recognize the incremental cost of force reductions associated
with restructuring its internal business processes through 1997. This
restructuring is necessary to reduce future costs to respond to increasing
competition. (See "Competition" beginning on page F-2.) One component of
this charge is for incremental costs of severance benefits associated with
terminating approximately 14,400 employees from 1994 through 1997. A net
reduction of 10,000 positions is expected by the end of 1997. A second
component is for information systems reengineering expenses which will allow
force reduction through the use of information technology to radically
redesign and streamline existing business practices. The consolidation of
facilities will also be necessary to support this downsizing initiative.
Pacific Bell expects to relocate 10,600 employees due to the consolidation of
business offices, network, installation and collection centers, as well as
other facilities.

Based on current estimates, future expenses will be reduced by about
$170 million in 1994 as a result of Pacific Bell's restructuring, with expense
reductions expected to grow to nearly $1 billion annually in four years.
Actual cash outflows for severance and other expenditures required to effect
the restructuring will be substantially offset by cash savings in 1994. These
savings are also expected to grow to nearly $1 billion annually in four years.
During 1993, the Corporation completed a reevaluation of investment
alternatives relating to its 1990 decision to dispose of the real estate
portfolio of its real estate subsidiary. Based on its decision to dispose of
these assets over the next three to five years, the Corporation recorded an
additional pre-tax restructuring reserve of $347 million to cover potential
future losses on sales and estimated operating losses. An earlier reserve of
$100 million had been recorded in 1990. As of December 31, 1993, the
remaining balance of the reserves for real estate losses totaled $338 million.
An additional pre-tax charge of $51 million was recorded during 1993 relating
to the withdrawal from, or restructuring of, the Corporation's cable and
customer premises equipment businesses. The remaining $56 million of 1993
charges primarily relate to anticipated costs of the planned spin-off of
PacTel.
Results for 1991 reflect a $203 million pre-tax restructuring charge which
included $167 million for the cost of management force reduction programs
through 1994 and $36 million for associated pension expense. After reduction
for incremental force reduction costs in 1993 and 1992, the remaining balance
of this reserve as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 was approximately $77 million
and $101 million, respectively. The 1993 restructuring charge is net of the
$77 million remaining balance in the 1991 restructuring reserve.

<PAGE>
Without the effects of the 1991 restructuring charge, total operating expenses
for 1992 increased slightly year-over-year, while Pacific Bell's 1992
operating expenses would have declined slightly. Pacific Bell's decrease
reflects the impacts of earlier force reduction efforts, along with reduced
depreciation and amortization. Increases relating to upgrading switches with
SS-7 capabilities, improvements in internal operating systems, and larger
recession-related write-offs of accounts receivable substantially offset
Pacific Bell's expense reduction.
In January 1994, an earthquake damaged 31 Pacific Bell buildings in the
Los Angeles area. The Corporation estimates repair costs may approach
$25 million. Pacific Bell is insured for any damages exceeding this amount.

* continuing operations
Salary and wage expense is the largest component of total operating expenses.
At Pacific Bell, salary and wage expense increased $74 million in 1993.
Higher compensation rates increased Pacific Bell's salaries and wages by
$73 million primarily due to a nonsalaried wage increase effective in August
1993. In September 1992, labor contracts were reached with unions which
represent about 70 percent of the employees of the Corporation's continuing
operations. The agreements provide a 12 percent increase in wages, including
job upgrades, and a 13 percent increase in pensions over the three-year term.
In addition, the contracts include incentives for early retirement, enhanced
employment security, improvements in work and family life benefits, and
increases in health care and dental care coverage. Pacific Bell's salaries
and wages also increased by $38 million due to greater overtime pay for
extended customer service hours. The overall increase at Pacific Bell was
partially offset by a $55 million decrease due to fewer employees.
At Pacific Bell, salary and wage expense decreased by $234 million in 1992.
However, the 1991 comparable expense included $147 million of the 1991
restructuring charge for force reduction programs. The effects of a 1992
workforce reduction of about 2,000 employees contributed to the 1992 decrease.
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation as a percent of

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for 1993 reflects an
expanded plant base at the Telephone Companies resulting from accelerated
F-15
<PAGE>
network modernization. The Telephone Companies' planned capital expenditures
are expected to further increase plant levels causing higher depreciation
expense in future years. (See "Advanced Network Services" discussion on
page F-8.)
The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for 1992 was primarily
due to reduced expense of $98 million at Pacific Bell resulting from the
completion of the amortization of station connections for intrastate
operations at year-end 1991. This expense reduction was matched by an equal
reduction in revenues from the 1992 annual price cap filing.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in postretirement benefits expense for 1993 reflects an increase
of $80 million due to the Corporation's higher costs under new accounting
rules for postretirement benefits. (See also "Cumulative Effect of Accounting
Changes" on page F-18.) Prior to 1993, all postretirement benefit expenses
were charged to general, administrative, and other expenses. Beginning in
1993, these costs are also being allocated to cost of products and services,
and customer operations and selling expenses.
Pension expense declined in 1992 as the prior year amount includes $36 million
of the 1991 restructuring charge related to force reduction programs. Other
benefits consists primarily of company contributions to employees' savings
plans.

Total ......................... $509 0.6 $506 -13.9 $588
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest expense for 1993 reflects lower interest rates on long- and short-
term debt, along with a reduction in average short-term borrowings and reduced
principal associated with the Corporation's leveraged employee stock ownership
plan ("LESOP") trust. However, total interest expense increased in comparison
to 1992. Interest expense for 1992 was reduced by a reversal of $30 million
F-16
<PAGE>
of prior year interest, for which related contingencies were resolved.
During 1993, Pacific Bell issued $2.65 billion of long-term debt to refinance
higher interest rate issues. This refinancing is expected to save $36 million
annually.
The decrease in interest expense in 1992 reflects the above-mentioned interest
reversal. Reduced interest expense from the Corporation's LESOP trust and
short-term borrowings also contributed to the decrease. LESOP interest
expense is matched by an equal amount of interest income reflected in
miscellaneous income.
Miscellaneous Income

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous income .......... $48 -$154 $202 $58 $144
-76.2% 40.3%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in miscellaneous income in 1993 primarily reflects a $108 million
comparative decrease in interest income. In the prior year, the Corporation
realized $70 million of interest income relating to a Summary Assessment
refund received from the IRS. In addition, interest income earned during 1993
by PacTel Capital Resources ("PTCR"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, on
intercompany advances to PacTel declined by $26 million. (See also Note J -
"Related Party Transactions" on page F-55.) A 1993 increase of $23 million in
the interstate portion of costs relating to the early retirement of long-term
debt by Pacific Bell also contributed to the decrease in net miscellaneous
income.
The increase in miscellaneous income in 1992 was primarily due to the
$70 million of interest income realized that year from the Summary Assessment
refund. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in LESOP interest
income during 1992 of $20 million due to lower interest rates and principal
balances.

Effective tax rate (%) ........ 5.0 34.1 38.2
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in income taxes for 1993 reflects the Corporation's lower pre-tax
income for the year. The amount of investment tax credit amortization and
reversals of fixed asset related items in relation to the lower pre-tax income
contributed to the reduced effective tax rate for 1993. Investment tax
credits earned in prior years are amortized as reductions to tax expense.
During August 1993, new tax provisions were enacted under the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 which included an increase in the corporate tax
rate from 34 percent to 35 percent retroactive to January 1, 1993. The
cumulative effect of the new tax provisions was recognized during third
quarter 1993 by a reduction to income tax expense resulting from the
adjustment of prior periods' deferred taxes. However, this positive
adjustment was partly offset by the effect of the tax rate increase on current
income. Overall, the new tax provisions did not significantly affect the
Corporation's tax expense for the year.
The increase in income taxes for 1992 reflects higher pre-tax income. The
reduction in the effective tax rate was due primarily to the reversal of
deferred taxes on fixed asset related items recorded in prior years at rates
higher than the current statutory rate. A reduction in non-deductible book
depreciation also contributed to the lower effective tax rate.
The Corporation's adoption of new income tax accounting rules in 1992 did not
significantly affect income tax expense applicable to income from continuing
operations. (See also Note D - "Income Taxes" on page F-42.)
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Changes
- ---------------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106 ("SFAS 106"), "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112 ("SFAS 112"), "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." These new rules require a change from the cash to
the accrual method of accounting for these costs. The cumulative effects of
applying the new rules to prior years were recognized during 1993 by one-time
noncash charges applicable to continuing operations totaling $1.724 billion.
The charges are net of deferred income tax benefits of $1.155 billion. (See
also "Other Postretirement Benefits Costs" on page F-22.) In future years,
these new accounting rules will increase annual benefit costs, but are not
expected to materially affect reported earnings.
F-18
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Corporation defines liquidity as its ability to generate resources to
finance business expansion, construct capital assets, pay its current
obligations, and pay dividends. The Corporation has met most of its financing
needs from internally generated funds, but can also obtain external financing
through the issuance of common stock, and short- and long-term debt, if
needed.
If the recession in California continues and competition increases in the
coming years, Pacific Bell's internal sources of cash could be reduced from
historical levels. Any decision to seek debt and equity in the capital
markets would have to be balanced by the Corporation's desire to maintain its
strong credit ratings as well as the objective of minimizing dilution of the
interests of existing shareowners.
Short-term borrowings are available under a commercial paper program and
through about $1.7 billion in unused formal and informal lines of credit.
These lines of credit can be used on terms to be mutually agreed upon with the
lending banks and are subject to the banks' continued review.
For longer term borrowings, Pacific Bell has remaining authority from the CPUC
to issue up to $1.25 billion of long- and intermediate-term debt from a total
of $1.8 billion authorized in September 1993. The proceeds may be used to
redeem maturing debt and to refinance other debt issues. Pacific Bell has
remaining authority from the SEC to issue up to $650 million of long- and
intermediate-term debt through a shelf registration filed in April 1993. In
addition, PTCR may issue up to $192 million of medium-term notes through a
shelf registration on file with the SEC.
No recapitalization of Pacific Bell is planned as a result of the
Corporation's spin-off of PacTel's wireless operations. Immediately after the
December 1992 announcement of the planned spin-off, Duff and Phelps, Inc.
reaffirmed Pacific Bell's debt rating. Standard & Poor's ("S&P") affirmed its
rating on the outstanding long-term debt of PTCR and Pacific Bell, and the
commercial paper programs of Pacific Bell, PTCR and the Corporation. S&P also
revised its ratings outlook for the long-term debt of PTCR and Pacific Bell
from "stable" to "positive." Additionally, Moody's Investors Service stated
that the debt ratings of all three entities are unlikely to be affected by the
spin-off.
The above ratings reflect the views of the rating agencies; they should be
evaluated independently of one another and are not recommendations to buy,
sell or hold the securities of the Corporation. There is no assurance that
such ratings will continue for any period of time or that they will not be
changed or withdrawn.

-2.9% 15.1%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in 1993 cash flow from operating activities is primarily due to
the Corporation's receipt in the prior year of a one-time refund of
$185 million from the IRS. This refund recovered a 1987 Summary Assessment
payment and raised 1992 cash from operating activities in relation to both
1993 and 1991. Timing differences in the payment of accounts payable and
other liabilities also contributed to the 1992 increase over 1991.

Cash used for investing

-2.6% 24.0%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in 1993 cash used for investing activities reflects cash received
from PacTel in settling intercompany payable balances, offset substantially by
increased capital contributions by the Pacific Telesis holding company to
PacTel. (See also Note J - "Related Party Transactions" on page F-55.) The
decrease also reflects smaller additions to property, plant, and equipment by
continuing operations. Although 1993 capital expenditures by Pacific Bell
increased about $160 million, cash used for additions to property, plant, and
equipment decreased by $25 million in comparison to 1992. The 1992 additions
to property, plant, and equipment were raised by about $100 million due to the
Corporation's assumption of the remaining interest in one of its real estate
partnerships.
The increase in 1992 cash used for investing activities reflects increased
capital contributions to PacTel. The Corporation's assumption of the real
estate partnership interest in 1992 also contributed to increased additions to
property, plant, and equipment.
In 1993, the Telephone Companies made capital expenditures of about
$1.9 billion. In November 1993, Pacific Bell announced plans to invest about
$16 billion over the next seven years to upgrade its core network
infrastructure and to begin building an integrated telecommunications,
information and entertainment network providing advanced voice, data and video
services. (See "Advanced Network Services" discussion on page F-8.) The
Corporation expects to continue to meet most of the financing needs of its
capital program from internally generated funds.

activities .................. $593 -$15 $608 -$79 $687
-2.5% -11.5%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The slight decrease in 1993 cash used for financing activities reflects a
$624 million decrease in cash derived from net short-term borrowings which was
more than offset by increased proceeds from treasury stock issuances and other
activity. Treasury stock issuances increased to $728 million (at cost) during
1993 from $173 million in 1992. The increased issuances were primarily to
meet the greater requirements of the Corporation's dividend reinvestment and
stock purchase plan due to features introduced in December 1992 offering
discounted stock purchases. During September 1993, the Corporation
discontinued this offer. For 1993, the Board maintained the Corporation's
dividend at $2.18 per share, the same level as in 1992. Management intends to
recommend to the Board that this level be maintained in 1994.
Long-term borrowing activity, excluding spin-off operations, included the
following issuances and redemptions:
Interest Maturity Principal
($ millions) Rate Date Amount
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issuances:
1993 ............ 6.25% to 7.50% 2005 to 2043 $2,650
1992 ............ 7.00% to 7.75% 2002 to 2032 $ 929
Retirements:
1993 ............ 6.125% to 9.625% 1993 to 2030 $2,624
1992 ............ 5.125% to 9.875% 1993 to 2019 $ 973
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-tax interest coverage was negative for 1993 compared to 4.6 times for
1992. This decrease was primarily due to the Corporation's 1993 reported
loss. The Corporation's debt ratio of 41.0 percent as of December 31, 1993
decreased from 43.5 percent as of December 31, 1992, reflecting reduced debt
balances. The Corporation's debt ratio, excluding spin-off operations,
increased to 53.8 percent from 45.9 percent as of December 31, 1992. This
increase reflects the effect of excluding the Corporation's equity in PacTel,
which increased during 1993 and more than offset the impact of reduced debt
balances.
In 1992, cash used for financing activities increased primarily due to a
reduction in cash derived from new borrowings, net of retirements. Cash
derived from net short-term borrowings decreased $63 million. In 1992,
dividends per share increased 1.9 percent to $2.18.
The Corporation's adoption of SFAS 106 and SFAS 112, effective January 1,
1993, increased other noncurrent liabilities by $2.9 billion. Deferred income
tax liabilities were reduced by $1.2 billion due to the related tax benefits,
F-21
<PAGE>
resulting in a net increase to liabilities of $1.7 billion upon adopting these
two new standards.
PENDING REGULATORY ISSUES
PacTel Spin-off
- ---------------
In February 1993, the CPUC instituted an investigation of the spin-off of the
Corporation's wireless operations for the purpose of assessing any effects it
might have on the telephone customers of Pacific Bell. On November 2, 1993,
the CPUC adopted a decision permitting the spin-off to proceed. The CPUC
further ordered a refund by the Corporation of approximately $50 million
(including interest) of cellular pre-operational and development expenses.
Further proceedings will determine how the refund will be disbursed. The CPUC
decision was effective immediately.
Two parties to the CPUC investigation filed Applications for Rehearing by the
CPUC of its treatment of the claims for compensation owed to Pacific Bell
customers. One of these parties further stated that if it were unsuccessful
with the CPUC it would seek review by the California Supreme Court. Another
party filed a Petition for Modification of the CPUC's decision. In March
1994, the CPUC denied these requests. In the event the California Supreme
Court were to review and reverse the CPUC's decision, no assurance can be
given that the CPUC might not reach a new decision materially less favorable
to the Corporation or PacTel with respect to the compensation issues. In
addition, a substantial period of time could elapse before final resolution of
these issues should a review be granted. The Corporation believes that the
California Supreme Court will deny a review.
Other Postretirement Benefits Costs
- -----------------------------------
In December 1992, the CPUC issued a decision adopting, with modification,
SFAS 106 for regulatory accounting purposes. The CPUC decision also granted
Pacific Bell $108 million for partial recovery of 1993 SFAS 106 costs.
Pacific Bell is required to file annually for recovery in conjunction with its
price cap filing, and therefore such recovery will vary. The 1994 CPUC price
cap decision grants Pacific Bell $100 million for partial recovery of 1994
SFAS 106 costs. Two ratepayer advocacy groups have each challenged certain
aspects of the decision adopting SFAS 106, which could affect rate recovery.
The Corporation is unable to predict the outcome of these pending challenges.
Universal Lifeline Telephone Service Trust Audit
- ------------------------------------------------
In October 1992, the CPUC's Commission Advisory and Compliance Division
released an audit report recommending that Pacific Bell return $36 million to
the Universal Lifeline Telephone Service ("ULTS") trust. This trust
reimburses local telephone companies for revenues lost and expenses incurred
as a result of providing subsidized telephone service to low income
Californians. In November 1993, Pacific Bell and the CPUC's Division of
Ratepayer Advocates jointly filed a settlement agreement with the CPUC.
Subject to CPUC approval, Pacific Bell will return approximately $8 million to
the ULTS trust via installments over one year and additionally reduce future
F-22
<PAGE>
billings to the trust by about $1 million annually. Pacific Bell recorded
this liability in 1993.
Information Services Subsidiary
- -------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1993, Pacific Bell transferred its Information Services
Group to a wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Bell Information Services
("PBIS"). PBIS provides business and residential voice mail and other
selected information services. In July 1992, the CPUC issued a decision which
would require Pacific Bell to reduce rates by the difference between the
"going concern" value of PBIS and its adjusted net book value. In October
1992, the CPUC denied Pacific Bell's Application for Rehearing of this
decision but invited Pacific Bell to file a Petition for Modification.
Pacific Bell filed a petition in January 1993 based on its belief that the
decision results in a double reduction in rates to customers.
Pacific Bell believes that, at a minimum, any reduction in rates should be
further offset by $111 million: $57 million previously granted customers in
the Product Development Refund and $54 million provided by shareowners for
PBIS. Further, any remainder should be prorated according to proportionate
risks borne by shareowners and Pacific Bell's customers. The Corporation is
unable to predict the outcome of this issue.
Late Payment Charge Complaint
- -----------------------------
In March 1991, a consumer advocacy group filed a complaint with the CPUC
against Pacific Bell alleging that erroneous late payment charges were
assessed against some customers. In May 1993, the CPUC ordered Pacific Bell
to refund about $35 million in late payment and reconnection charges which
resulted from problems with its payment processing system. The CPUC also
imposed penalties totaling $15 million on Pacific Bell for improperly
assessing late payment charges and disconnecting customers between 1986 and
February 1991. Pacific Bell believes the decision misinterprets California
law. In November 1993, the CPUC granted Pacific Bell a limited rehearing of
the decision. The rehearing will examine the legal basis for the penalties,
the statute of limitations on refunds, and whether unclaimed refunds must
escheat to the state. A resolution of this issue is expected in 1994;
however, the Corporation is unable to predict the final outcome.
Two shareowner derivative lawsuits were filed in San Francisco Superior Court
in July 1993 against directors and officers in connection with the same
allegations made in the late payment charge complaint filed with the CPUC.
These suits were dismissed in February 1994; however, the cases are subject to
rehearing and possible appeal.
In addition, a consumer class action seeking refunds, with interest, of late
payment charges erroneously collected from Pacific Bell's customers was filed
in San Diego Superior Court in February 1992. Pacific Bell has argued that
the court lacks jurisdiction while the CPUC is reviewing the same issues. The
court rejected this argument. However, a stay of this action has been ordered
pending the outcome of the CPUC proceedings. The Corporation is unable to
predict the outcome of this case or whether any damages awarded by the court
would be duplicative of any penalties imposed by the CPUC.
F-23
<PAGE>
CPUC Regulatory Framework Review
- --------------------------------
In 1992, the CPUC began its scheduled review of the current incentive-based
regulatory framework. Among other issues, this review has examined elements
of the price cap formula, including the productivity factor and the rate of
return on investment, adopted in the 1989 New Regulatory Framework ("NRF")
order. The Corporation has proposed no significant changes to the current
framework because our experience to date suggests the framework is working as
intended.
In March 1994, a CPUC Administrative Law Judge issued a proposed decision in
the NRF review. The proposed decision would eliminate an element of the NRF
which requires equal sharing with customers of earnings exceeding a benchmark
rate of return. Earnings above a rate of return of 16.5 percent would
continue to be returned to customers. The proposed decision also recommends
increasing the productivity factor of the price cap formula from 4.5 percent
to 6.0 percent for the period 1994 through 1996. If adopted by the CPUC, the
change in the productivity factor would reduce revenues approximately
$100 million each year through 1996. Pacific Bell plans to file comments
objecting to the proposed increase in the productivity factor. The
Corporation is unable to predict the final outcome of these proceedings or the
effective date of any rate reductions.
FCC Regulatory Framework Review
- -------------------------------
In 1994, the FCC will review its "Price Cap" alternative regulatory framework.
The FCC is looking for comments on three main sets of issues: (1) refining the
goals of price caps to better meet the public interest and the purposes of the
Communications Act; (2) whether to revise the current plan (which became
effective January 1, 1991) to help it better meet the FCC's goals, or to
adjust the plan to changes in circumstances; and (3) possible transition from
the baseline price cap plan toward relaxation of regulatory oversight and rate
regulation as competition develops in the local loop.
ACCOUNTING UNDER REGULATION
The Telephone Companies currently account for the economic effects of
regulation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71
("SFAS 71"), "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." If
it becomes no longer reasonable to assume the Telephone Companies will recover
their costs through rates charged to customers, whether resulting from the
effects of increased competition or specific regulatory actions, SFAS 71 would
no longer apply. If Pacific Bell, the Corporation's largest subsidiary, were
no longer to qualify for the provisions of SFAS 71, the financial effects
would be material.

Certain prior year data have been restated to reflect the planned spin-off

Corporation are classified separately as "spin-off operations" and are
excluded from amounts for the "continuing operations" of Pacific Telesis

<PAGE>
Group. (See Note A - "Basis of Presentation" on page F-37.)
Results for 1993, 1991, and 1990 reflect restructuring charges which
reduced income from continuing operations by $861, $122 and $65 million
for each respective year, and related per share amounts by $2.08, $.30,
and $.16 for each respective year.
* Reflects both continuing and spin-off operations for all years presented.
** Includes the sum of stock price appreciation and dividends for the year.
*** Toll messages include Message Telecommunications Services, Optional
Calling Plans, WATS, and Terminating 800 messages. Toll messages for
years subsequent to 1989 have been restated to conform to the current
presentation. The expansion of Pacific Bell's local calling areas
effective June 1991 reduced subsequent toll message volumes. As a result,
comparisons of 1992 volumes with prior year volumes are not meaningful.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
To the Shareowners of Pacific Telesis Group:
The management of Pacific Telesis Group is responsible for preparing the
accompanying financial statements and for their integrity and objectivity.
The statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis and are not misstated due to material
fraud or error. In instances where exact measurement is not possible, the
financial statements include amounts based on management's best estimates and
judgments. Management also prepared the other information in this annual
financial review and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the
financial statements.
The Corporation's financial statements have been audited by Coopers & Lybrand,
independent accountants, whose appointment has been ratified by the
shareowners. Management has made available to Coopers & Lybrand all the
Corporation's financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of
shareowners' and directors' meetings. Furthermore, management believes that
all of its representations made to Coopers & Lybrand during their audit were
valid and appropriate.
Management has established and maintains a system of internal control that
provides reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the
financial statements, the protection of assets from unauthorized use or
disposition, and the prevention and detection of fraudulent financial
reporting. The system of internal control provides for appropriate division
of responsibility and is documented by written policies and procedures that
are communicated to employees with significant roles in the financial
reporting process and are updated as necessary. Management continually
monitors the system of internal control for compliance, and maintains a strong
internal auditing program that independently assesses the effectiveness of the
internal controls and recommends improvements when necessary. In addition, as
part of their audit of the Corporation's financial statements, Coopers &
Lybrand have obtained a sufficient understanding of the internal control
structure to determine the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests to be
performed. Management has considered the internal auditors' and Coopers &
Lybrand's recommendations concerning the Corporation's system of internal
control and has taken actions that it believes are cost-effective under the
circumstances to respond appropriately to these recommendations. Management
believes that the Corporation's system of internal control is adequate to
accomplish the objectives discussed.
Management also recognizes its responsibility to foster a strong ethical
climate that enables the Corporation to conduct its affairs according to the
highest standards of personal and corporate conduct. This responsibility is
characterized and reflected in the Corporation's code of corporate conduct,
which is publicized throughout the Corporation. The code of conduct
addresses, among other things: potential conflicts of interest; compliance
with all domestic laws, including those relating to foreign transactions and
financial disclosure; and the confidentiality of proprietary information. The
Corporation maintains a systematic program to assess compliance with these
policies.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing
the Corporation's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. In
fulfilling its responsibility, the Committee recommends to the Board, subject
to shareowner ratification, the selection of the Corporation's independent
accountants. The Committee consists of six members of the Board who are
neither officers nor employees of the Corporation. It meets regularly with
representatives of management, internal audit, and the independent accountants
to review internal accounting controls and accounting, auditing, and financial
reporting matters. During 1993, the Committee held five meetings. The
Corporation's internal auditors and independent accountants periodically meet
alone with the Committee to discuss the matters previously noted and have
direct access to it for private communication at any time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareowners
of Pacific Telesis Group:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific
Telesis Group and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareowners' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
As discussed in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Pacific
Telesis Group adopted new accounting rules for postretirement and
postemployment benefits during 1993.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pacific Telesis
Group and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Pacific
Telesis Group (the "Corporation") and its wholly and majority-owned
subsidiaries. The Corporation includes a holding company, Pacific Telesis;
its telephone subsidiaries: Pacific Bell and its subsidiaries, Pacific Bell
Directory and Pacific Bell Information Services, and Nevada Bell (the
"Telephone Companies"); PacTel Corporation ("PacTel") and its subsidiaries
which have wireless telecommunications operations; and several smaller
diversified entities. The Telephone Companies provide local exchange
service, network access, toll service, directory advertising, and selected
information services in California and Nevada. PacTel provides cellular,
paging, radiolocation, and other wireless telecommunications services in
the United States, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. Prior year revenues,
expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows have been restated to reflect
the Corporation's planned spin-off of the domestic and international
wireless operations of PacTel. The operating results and net assets of
PacTel are classified separately as "spin-off operations" and are excluded
from amounts for the "continuing operations" of the Corporation. (See also
Note B - "Planned Spin-off" on page F-39.) Intercompany transactions with
PacTel and its subsidiaries which were previously eliminated in
consolidation are now reflected in the Corporation's financial statements.
Certain other financial statement reclassifications have been made to
conform to the current presentation.
Financial information presented for PacTel in the Consolidated Financial
Statements has been prepared solely for the purpose of reporting Pacific
Telesis Group results and should not be viewed as a report on the results
of PacTel itself. PacTel results differ from those reported in the Pacific
Telesis Group Consolidated Financial Statements due to timing differences
in recording adjustments which are not material to the Corporation's
consolidated results. (See "PacTel Corporation and Subsidiaries
Supplemental Financial Information" beginning on page F-65.)
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. In accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71,
"Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation," the Telephone
Companies are required to reflect rate actions of regulators in their
financial statements when appropriate.
F-37
<PAGE>
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Change in Accounting for Postretirement and Postemployment Costs
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106 ("SFAS 106"), "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112 ("SFAS 112"), "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." (See also Note F - "Other Postretirement and
Postemployment Benefits" on page F-48.) These new rules require a change
from the cash to the accrual method of accounting for these costs. The
cumulative effects of applying the new rules to prior years were recognized
by one-time charges applicable to continuing operations totaling
$1.724 billion. The charges are net of deferred income tax benefits of
$1.155 billion and reduced earnings applicable to continuing operations by
$4.16 per share. Additionally, the ongoing periodic expense recognized by
the Corporation's continuing operations under SFAS 106 during 1993
increased about $80 million before taxes over the previous method. The
ongoing periodic expense of SFAS 112 is not expected to differ
materially from expense under the prior method.
Under a California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") decision, Pacific
Bell was granted $108 million for partial recovery of 1993 SFAS 106 costs.
Pacific Bell is required to file annually for recovery in conjunction with
its price cap filing, and therefore such recovery will vary. The 1994 CPUC
price cap decision grants Pacific Bell $100 million for partial recovery of
1994 SFAS 106 costs. Two ratepayer advocacy groups have each challenged
certain aspects of the CPUC's decision adopting SFAS 106 for ratemaking,
which could affect Pacific Bell's rate recovery. The Corporation is unable
to predict the outcome of these pending challenges.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Corporation considers all highly liquid monetary instruments with
maturities of ninety days or less from the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes.
Investment tax credits earned prior to their repeal by the Tax Reform Act
of 1986 are amortized as reductions in tax expense over the lives of the
assets which gave rise to the credits.
F-38
<PAGE>
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment (primarily telephone plant dedicated to
providing telecommunications services) is carried at cost. The cost of
self-constructed plant includes employee wages and benefits, materials, and
other costs. Regulators allow the Telephone Companies to accrue an
allowance for funds used during construction as a cost of constructing
certain plant and as an item of miscellaneous income. This income is not
realized in cash currently, but will be realized over the service lives of
the related plant.
Depreciation of telephone plant is computed primarily using the remaining-
life method, essentially a form of straight-line depreciation, using
depreciation rates prescribed by state and federal regulatory agencies.
When retired, the original cost of depreciable telephone plant is charged
to accumulated depreciation.
Expenditures in excess of $500 that increase the capacity, operating
efficiency, or useful life of an individual asset are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense.
Premium on Debt Retirement
When debt is refinanced before maturity, Pacific Bell recognizes as expense
any difference between net book value and redemption price evenly over the
term of the replacing issue for intrastate operations, in accordance with
the ratemaking treatment of such costs. These costs are expensed as
incurred for interstate operations.
Financial Instruments
Market value gains and losses on financial instruments that are designated
and effective as hedges of foreign currency commitments and net investments
are deferred. Related foreign exchange translation gains and losses are
also deferred.
B. Planned Spin-off
In December 1992, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors
(the "Board") had approved a plan to spin off PacTel's domestic and
international wireless operations. The spin-off of PacTel's operations is
planned to be effective April 1, 1994. These operations principally
include the Corporation's cellular, paging, and radiolocation services.
The Corporation will continue to own the Telephone Companies, along with
several smaller units including real estate assets.
F-39
<PAGE>
B. Planned Spin-off (Continued)
In November 1993, the CPUC adopted a decision permitting the spin-off to
proceed. In connection with the separation, the Corporation and PacTel in
December 1993 completed an initial public offering of 68.5 million, or
14 percent, of PacTel's common shares, raising about $1.5 billion. As of
the spin-off date, the remaining 86 percent of PacTel's common shares
currently held by the Corporation will be distributed to the Corporation's
shareowners in proportion to their shares in the Corporation. Each
shareowner will receive one share of PacTel stock for each Pacific Telesis
Group share held prior to the spin-off. The Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") has ruled that the distribution qualifies as a tax-free transaction
to shareowners. The distribution will be accounted for as a stock
dividend. In February 1994, PacTel announced a new corporate name and
identity which it will use after the spin-off. The new corporate name is
AirTouch Communications.
The net revenues and expenses of PacTel's operations have been separately
classified as income (loss) from spin-off operations in the Corporation's
income statements as summarized below:
(Dollars in millions) 1993 1992 1991
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating revenues ....................... $1,061 $879 $779

B. Planned Spin-off (Continued)
The net assets and liabilities of PacTel have been separately classified as
net assets of spin-off operations in the Corporation's balance sheets as
summarized below:
December 31
-----------------
(Dollars in millions) 1993 1992
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Current assets ................................. $1,704 $ 444

-----------------
Net assets of spin-off operations* ............. $2,874 $ 745
======================================================================
* See Note A - "Basis of Presentation" on page F-37.
In addition, the Corporation's cash flow statements have been reclassified
to exclude the activities of PacTel. Accordingly, the cash proceeds
received by PacTel from the initial public offering of its stock in
December 1993 are not reflected in the Corporation's 1993 cash flow
statement. The proceeds from the initial public offering above the book
value of the transferred ownership interest have been credited to
additional paid-in capital within the Corporation's shareowners' equity
accounts.
C. Restructuring Charges
During 1993, the Corporation recorded pre-tax restructuring charges
totaling $1.431 billion. These charges include a $977 million charge by
Pacific Bell to recognize the incremental cost of force reductions
associated with restructuring its internal business processes through 1997.
This charge is to cover the incremental severance costs associated with
terminating approximately 14,400 employees from 1994 through 1997. It is
also to cover the incremental costs of consolidating and streamlining
operations and facilities to support this downsizing initiative. During
1993, the Corporation completed a reevaluation of investment alternatives
relating to its 1990 decision to dispose of the real estate portfolio of
its real estate subsidiary. Based on its decision to dispose of these
assets over the next three to five years, the Corporation recorded an
additional pre-tax restructuring reserve of $347 million to cover potential
future losses on sales and estimated operating losses. As of December 31,
1993, the recorded assets of the Corporation's real estate subsidiary
totaled approximately $600 million. An additional $51 million pre-tax
charge was recorded during 1993 relating to the withdrawal from, or
restructuring of, the Corporation's cable and customer premises equipment
businesses. The remaining $56 million of 1993 charges primarily relate to
anticipated costs of the planned spin-off of PacTel. Overall, these
charges reduced earnings for 1993 by $861 million, or $2.08 per share.
F-41
<PAGE>
C. Restructuring Charges (Continued)
Results for 1991 reflect a $203 million pre-tax restructuring charge for
the costs of management force reduction programs through 1994. Income from
continuing operations for 1991 was reduced by $122 million, or $.30 per
share, as a result of this charge.
D. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1992, the Corporation adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"),
"Accounting for Income Taxes." This standard requires companies to record
all deferred tax liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of
all temporary differences, and requires ongoing adjustments for enacted
changes in tax rates and regulations. Specific provisions of SFAS 109
require regulated companies to record an asset or a liability when
recognizing deferred income taxes if it is probable that these deferred
taxes will be reflected in future rates. The adoption of the new rules in
1992 did not significantly affect income tax expense for income from
continuing operations.
The components of income tax expense applicable to continuing operations
each year are as follows:
(Dollars in millions) 1993 1992 1991
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Current:

D. Income Taxes (Continued)
During August 1993, new tax provisions were enacted under the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 which included an increase in the
corporate tax rate from 34 percent to 35 percent retroactive to January 1,
1993. The cumulative effect of the new tax provisions was recognized
during third quarter 1993 by a reduction to income tax expense resulting
from the adjustment of prior periods' deferred taxes. However, this
positive adjustment was partly offset by the effect of the tax rate
increase on current income. Overall, the new tax provisions did not
significantly affect the Corporation's tax expense for the year.
The reasons for differences each year between the Corporation's effective
income tax rate and applying the statutory federal income tax rate to
income from continuing operations before income taxes are provided in the
following reconciliation:
1993 1992 1991
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statutory federal income tax rate (%) ....... 35.0 34.0 34.0

=========================================================================
During 1987, the Telephone Companies paid $115 million to the IRS under a
Summary Assessment relating to contested issues for pre-divestiture tax
years 1979 and 1980. During 1992, the Corporation was refunded the amount
and an additional $70 million recorded as interest income. As a result of
the refund, first quarter 1992 net income increased $45 million, or
$.11 per share, and cash from operating activities for 1992 increased
$185 million.

E. Employee Retirement Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
The Corporation provides pension, death, and survivor benefits under a
number of defined benefit pension plans which cover substantially all
employees of Pacific Telesis, the Telephone Companies, and certain PacTel
employees. For some of these plans, benefits are based on a flat dollar
amount which varies according to employee job classification and years of
service. For other plans, benefits are based on a percentage of final
five-year average pay and vary according to years of service.
The Corporation is responsible for contributing enough to the pension
plans, while the employee still is working, to ensure that adequate funds
are available to provide the benefit payments upon the employee's
retirement. These contributions are made to an irrevocable trust fund in
amounts determined using the aggregate cost actuarial method, one of the
actuarial methods specified by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 ("ERISA"), subject to ERISA and IRS limitations.
The Corporation reports pension costs and related obligations under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87
("SFAS 87"), "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," and ("SFAS 88"),
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits." However, specific provisions
for regulated enterprises require the Telephone Companies to recognize
pension cost consistent with its ratemaking treatment. Pension costs
recognized reflect a CPUC order requiring the continued use of the
aggregate cost method for intrastate operations and a Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC") requirement to use SFAS 87 and SFAS 88
for interstate operations.
In November 1993, Nevada Bell offered an early retirement program under
which approximately 70 management employees elected early retirement.
During 1992, the Corporation amended its nonsalaried pension plan to
increase benefits for specified groups of employees who elect early
retirement under incentive programs. Approximately 1,000 employees elected
early retirement under these amendments. During 1991, approximately 4,400
eligible management employees elected early retirement or voluntary
severance under management force reduction programs offered by the
Corporation. (See Note C - "Restructuring Charges" on page F-41.) Annual
pension cost in the table below excludes $7, $5, and $36 million of
additional pension expense recognized in 1993, 1992, and 1991,
respectively, for these programs.
F-45
<PAGE>
E. Employee Retirement Plans (Continued)
Annual pension cost for each year consisted of the following components:
(Dollars in millions) 1993 1992 1991
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost - benefits earned during year .. $ 140 $163 $ 166
Interest cost on projected

treatment ................................ (53) (54) (34)
Less spin-off operations .................... 3 2 3
---------------------------
Pension cost (income) recognized ............ $ 7 $ 8 $ (4)
=========================================================================
* Under SFAS 87, differences between actual returns and losses on assets
and assumed returns, which are based on an expected long-term rate of
return, are deferred and included with "unrecognized net gain" (see
table on page F-47). During 1993 and 1991, actual returns exceeded
assumed returns by $691 and $1,227 million, respectively. During 1992,
actual returns were less than assumed returns by $317 million.
The amounts shown above for annual pension cost (income) recognized in
1993, 1992, and 1991 reflect the effects of strong fund asset performance
in prior years and IRS funding limitations.
F-46
<PAGE>
E. Employee Retirement Plans (Continued)
The following table sets forth the status of the plans' assets and
obligations and the amounts recognized in the Corporation's consolidated
balance sheets:
December 31
----------------------
(Dollars in millions) 1993 1992
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan assets at estimated fair value ............ $11,277 $10,475
Actuarial present value of projected benefit
obligations .................................. 9,369 8,226
----------------------
Plan assets in excess of projected benefit
obligations .................................. 1,908 2,249
Less items subject to delayed recognition:
Unrecognized net gain* ....................... (1,989) (2,238)
Unrecognized transition amount** ............. (651) (709)
Unrecognized prior service cost .............. 52 62
Less spin-off operations ....................... (15) (8)
----------------------
Accrued pension cost liability recognized in
the consolidated balance sheets .............. $ 695 $ 644
=========================================================================
* Gains or losses from actual returns on assets different than assumed
returns, as well as from demographic experience different than assumed
and the effects of changes in other assumptions, are recognized through
amortization, over time, when the cumulative gains or losses exceed
certain limits.
** A $1,078 million excess of the fair value of plan assets over projected
benefit obligations as of the January 1, 1987 adoption of SFAS 87 is
being recognized through amortization over approximately eighteen
years.
The assets of the plans are primarily composed of common stocks, U.S.
Government and corporate obligations, index funds, and real estate
investments. The plans' projected benefit obligations for employee service
to date reflect the Corporation's expectations of the effects of future
salary progression and benefit increases. As of December 31, 1993 and
1992, the actuarial present values of the plans' accumulated benefit
obligations, which do not anticipate future salary increases, were $8,818
and $7,818 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $7,924 and $7,003
million, respectively, were vested.
The assumptions used in computing the present values of benefit obligations
include a discount rate of 7.5 percent for 1993 and 8.5 percent for 1992
and 1991. An 8.0 percent long-term rate of return on assets is assumed in
calculating pension costs.
F-47
<PAGE>
E. Employee Retirement Plans (Continued)
On March 28, 1994, Pacific Bell will offer a special pension benefit which
removes any age discount from pensions for employees eligible to retire
with a service pension on that date. This window will only apply to those
who are eligible for a service pension that is normally subject to a
discount and who retire on March 28, 1994. Approximately 2,750 employees
are eligible for this benefit.
Effective December 31, 1993, Pacific Bell permanently removed the age
discount from the normal pension for salaried employees who have 30 or more
years of net credited service. Approximately 400 employees are affected by
this amendment.
The Corporation has entered into labor negotiations with union-represented
employees in the past and expects to do so in the future. Pension benefits
have been included in these negotiations, and improvements in benefits have
been made periodically. Additionally, the Corporation has increased
benefits to pensioners on an ad hoc basis. While no assurance can be
offered with respect to future increases, the Corporation's expectations
for future benefit increases have been reflected in determining pension
costs.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Corporation sponsors several defined contribution retirement plans
covering substantially all employees. These plans include the Pacific
Telesis Group Supplemental Retirement and Savings Plan for Salaried
Employees, the Pacific Telesis Group Supplemental Retirement and Savings
Plan for Nonsalaried Employees (collectively, the "Savings Plans") and the
PacTel Corporation Retirement Plan.
The Corporation's contributions to the Savings Plans are based on matching
a portion of employee contributions. All matching employer contributions
to the Savings Plans are made through a LESOP trust (see Note K - "Employee
Stock Ownership Trust" on page F-56). Total contributions to these plans,
including contributions allocated to participant accounts through the LESOP
trust, were $65, $61, and $67 million in 1993, 1992, and 1991,
respectively. These amounts exclude $13, $10, and $5 million,
respectively, each year of costs applicable to spin-off operations.
F. Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
Substantially all retirees and their dependents are covered under the
Corporation's plans for medical, dental and life insurance benefits.
Approximately 40,000 retirees were eligible to receive benefits as of
January 1, 1993. Currently, the Corporation pays the full cost of retiree
benefits; however, future cost sharing provisions are reflected in the
current postretirement benefit cost and liability. Beginning in 1999,
employees retiring in 1991 onward will pay a share of the costs of medical
coverage that exceed a defined dollar medical cap.
F-48
<PAGE>
F. Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits (Continued)
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation implemented SFAS 106 on an
immediate-recognition basis. The standard requires that the cost of
retiree benefits be recognized in the financial statements from an
employee's date of hire until the employee becomes eligible for these
benefits. Previously, the Corporation expensed retiree benefits as they
were paid. Immediate recognition of the value of prior benefits earned,
the transition obligation, resulted in a one-time, noncash charge
applicable to continuing operations of $1.573 billion, or $3.80 per share,
which is net of a deferred income tax benefit of $1.054 billion. The
deferred tax benefit from the cumulative effect of adoption will be
recognized over the remaining lives of the workforce. In addition, the
periodic expense applicable to continuing operations recognized in 1993
amounted to $241 million before taxes, an increase of about $80 million
over the previous method.
In December 1992, the CPUC issued a decision adopting, with modification,
SFAS 106 for regulatory accounting purposes. Consistent with this
decision, Pacific Bell is amortizing its transition obligation over
20 years. Both Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell partially fund their
obligations by contributing to Voluntary Employee Benefit Association
("VEBA") trusts.
Plan assets are invested primarily in domestic and international stocks and
domestic investment-grade bonds. The assumed long-term rate of return on
plan assets is 8.5 percent. The assumed discount rate used to measure the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5 percent at
December 31, 1993.
The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost are as follows:
(Dollars in millions) 1993
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost ......................................... $ 42
Interest cost on accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation ................................. 249
Actual return on plan assets ......................... ( 80)

The funded status of the plan follows:
(Dollars in millions) December 31, 1993
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
at September 30, 1993:
Retirees .......................................... $2,380

Other active employees ............................ 948

Total accumulated postretirement benefit obligation .. 3,541
Less:
Fair value of plan assets at September 30, 1993 ... (723)
Contributions during fourth quarter 1993 .......... (78)
Unrecognized net loss* ............................ (343)
Spin-off operations ............................... (12)
----------
Accrued postretirement benefit obligation
recognized in the consolidated balance sheet ...... $2,385
=====================================================================
* The unrecognized net loss is amortized over time and reflects
differences between actuarial assumptions and actual experience. It
also includes the impact of changes in actuarial assumptions.
An annual increase in health care costs of approximately 14 percent was
assumed for retirees in 1993. A 13 percent increase is assumed for 1994,
declining to an ultimate rate of 6 percent by the year 2002. Should the
health care cost trend rate increase by one percent each year, the 1993
increase would be $427 million for the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation and $40 million for the combined service and interest cost
components of net periodic cost.
As of January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS 112 for accounting for
postemployment benefits. Postemployment benefits offered by the
Corporation include workers compensation, disability benefits, medical
benefit continuation, and severance pay. These benefits are paid to former
or inactive employees who terminated without retiring.
SFAS 112 requires a change from cash to accrual accounting by recording a
cumulative catch-up-charge at implementation. A one-time, noncash charge
was recorded against earnings applicable to continuing operations of
$151 million, or $.36 per share, which is net of a deferred income tax
benefit of $101 million. In subsequent years, the Corporation expects that
periodic expense will not differ materially from expense under the prior
method.

<PAGE>
G. Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
Key employees of the Corporation have outstanding options and stock
appreciation rights ("SARs") which were granted under the Corporation's
Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan
expired effective December 31, 1993, and the Board has proposed shareowner
approval of a new stock incentive plan to commence in 1994. The options
granted under the Plan were granted as nonqualified options or as incentive
stock options, and a portion were granted in conjunction with SARs. The
exercise price of each outstanding option and SAR is equal to the fair
market value of the Corporation's common stock on the date of grant. The
exercise price of each option may be paid in cash or by surrendering shares
of common stock already owned by the holder, or with a combination of cash
and such shares. Options and associated SARs ordinarily become exercisable
at stated times beginning at least one year after the date of grant. The
term of any option or SAR cannot exceed ten years. As of December 31,
1993, 6,176,201 options and SARs were exercisable at prices ranging from
$14.6563 to $46.5000.
As of the termination of the Plan on December 31, 1993, 8,275,019 shares
authorized by the Board for grants of options and SARs remained, but were
unused. The remaining shares authorized for future grants as of
December 31, 1992 and 1991 were 8,342,767 and 12,008,069, respectively.
The following table summarizes option and SAR activity during 1993 and
1992:

<PAGE>
G. Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (Continued)
In connection with the planned spin-off, the options and SARs held by the
continuing employees of the Corporation will be supplemented with options
and SARs for PacTel common shares. The supplemental PacTel options and
SARs granted are expected to equal the number of outstanding options and
SARs held by the continuing employees of the Corporation at the time of the
spin-off. In addition, outstanding options and SARs of the Corporation
that are held by PacTel employees at the time of the spin-off are planned
to be replaced by options and SARs for PacTel common shares. It is
expected that the PacTel replacement options and SARs will cover the same
aggregate fair market values of stock as the Corporation's options or SARs
which they will replace. The formula to determine the total number of
PacTel replacement options and SARs will be based on the respective market
values of the Corporation's and PacTel's common stock in the 10 trading
days prior to the spin-off. Exercisable options and SARs at December 31,
1993 held by continuing employees of the Corporation and by PacTel
employees were approximately 4.9 and 1.3 million, respectively. Under an
agreement with an investment firm, the Corporation and PacTel are required
to each issue 350,000 SARs on the spin-off date as compensation for advice
rendered to the Corporation and PacTel.
Certain information presented in this note is based on estimates which are
not expected to differ materially from actual amounts.
H. Debt and Lease Obligations
Long-term obligations as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 principally consist
of debentures of $4,047 and $4,170 million, respectively, and corporate
notes of $1,603 and $1,428 million, respectively. Maturities and interest
rates of long-term obligations follow:

H. Debt and Lease Obligations (Continued)
Pacific Bell has remaining authority from the CPUC to issue up to
$1.25 billion of long- and intermediate-term debt from a total of $1.8
billion authorized in September 1993. The proceeds may be used to redeem
maturing debt and to refinance other debt issues. Pacific Bell has
remaining authority from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
to issue up to $650 million of long- and intermediate-term debt through a
shelf registration filed in April 1993. In addition, PacTel Capital
Resources ("PTCR"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, may issue
up to $192 million of medium-term notes through a shelf registration on
file with the SEC.
Debt maturing within one year consists of short-term borrowings and the
portion of long-term obligations that matures within one year as follows:

Lines of Credit
The Corporation has various formal and informal lines of credit with
certain banks. For the most part, these arrangements do not require
compensating balances or commitment fees and, accordingly, are subject to
continued review by the lending institutions. At December 31, 1993 and
1992, the total unused lines of credit available were approximately
$1.7 and $1.4 billion, respectively.

I. Financial Instruments
The Corporation uses various financial instruments that involve off-
balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments are used to reduce the
impact of foreign currency fluctuations on overseas investments and to
manage interest expense. As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Corporation
had outstanding foreign currency swap and forward contracts with face
amounts totaling $291 and $354 million, respectively, with maturities
through November 2001. The off-balance-sheet risk in these contracts
involves both the risk of a counterparty not performing under the terms of
the contract and the risk associated with changes in market value. The
counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions, and the
Corporation monitors its positions, the credit ratings of counterparties,
and the level of contracts entered into with any one party. Therefore, the
Corporation believes the likelihood of realizing any losses from
counterparty nonperformance is remote. In addition, the settlements of
these transactions are not expected to have any material adverse effect
upon the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.
The following table presents information required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have been determined using
available market information and appropriate valuation methods. However,
considerable judgment enters into estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
the estimates presented may not be indicative of amounts the Corporation
could realize in a current market exchange.

promissory notes due from PacTel. (See Note J - "Related Party
Transactions" on page F-55.) The fair value for long-term debt issues
that are not quoted on an exchange are estimated using interest rates
that are currently available to the Corporation under similar terms and
remaining maturities.
F-54
<PAGE>
J. Related Party Transactions
The net receivables due from spin-off operations carried on the
Corporation's balance sheets represent net intercompany balances owed by
PacTel. As of December 31, 1992, the net receivable balance principally
included $858 million of intercompany borrowings by PacTel from PTCR, less
$115 million payable to PacTel for intercompany tax benefits. During 1993,
PacTel substantially eliminated the intercompany balances. These
repayments were made primarily using proceeds of 1993 capital contributions
from the Pacific Telesis holding company. The borrowings from PTCR were
primarily in the form of promissory notes bearing interest at variable
rates which averaged 6.1 and 5.7 percent, respectively, during 1993 and
1992.
During 1993, 1992, and 1991, Pacific Telesis made capital contributions to
PacTel of $1,180, $212, and $71 million, respectively, and received
dividends from PacTel of $114, $108, and $125 million, respectively.
Miscellaneous income of the Corporation reflects interest income on PTCR's
intercompany advances and loans to PacTel of $20, $46, and $33 million,
respectively, for 1993, 1992, and 1991. In addition, Pacific Telesis
provides certain administrative services to PacTel and charges for these
services.
A separation agreement provides for complete separation of all properties
after the spin-off as well as the transfer of a limited number of
employees' and retirees' accounts between the Corporation and PacTel.
Under the separation agreement, any nontax contingent liabilities that
become certain after the spin-off and which are not recognized in the
consolidated financial statements of the Corporation will be allocated
based on origin of the claim, and acts by, or benefits to, the Corporation
or PacTel. The separation agreement provides that the Corporation will
continue to include PacTel in filing consolidated federal income tax
returns for all taxable periods in which the parties are required or
permitted to file a consolidated tax return. In addition, Pacific Telesis
will continue to provide administrative services to PacTel for up to
90 days following the spin-off.
K. Capital Stock
Shareowners
At January 31, 1994, the number of shareowners was 856,856.
Preferred Stock
The Corporation's Articles of Incorporation include a provision for the
issuance of up to 50,000,000 preferred shares (par value $0.10 per share)
in one or more series with full or limited voting powers or without voting
powers, and with such designations, preferences, and rights as the Board
may determine.
F-55
<PAGE>
K. Capital Stock (Continued)
Treasury Stock
From time to time, the Corporation purchases shares of its common stock and
holds these shares as treasury stock. This treasury stock later may be
reissued in connection with acquisitions, the Corporation's shareowner
dividend reinvestment plan and employee benefit plans.
Separately, beginning in 1987, the Board authorized the purchase of up to
55,000,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Through December 31,
1990, the Corporation had purchased 46,312,982 shares under these
authorizations of which 13,900,000 shares were reissued to a leveraged
employee stock ownership trust in 1989 as discussed below. During 1993,
1992, and 1991, an additional 17,966,717, 4,074,578, and 603,135 shares,
respectively, were reissued in connection with employee benefit plans. As
of December 31, 1993, the 9,768,552 remaining shares were held as treasury
stock pending their ultimate disposition.
Employee Stock Ownership Trust
All matching employer contributions to the Savings Plans are made through a
leveraged employee stock ownership plan ("LESOP") trust. (See Note E -
"Defined Contribution Plans" on page F-48.) During 1989, Bankers Trust
Company, as trustee of the Pacific Telesis Group Employee Stock Ownership
Plans Master Trust, purchased 13,900,000 of the Corporation's treasury
shares at a price of $691,052,400, in exchange for a promissory note from
the trust to the Corporation. The note payable by the trust is not
reflected as a liability of the Corporation and, in accordance with
accepted accounting treatment, the remaining cost of unallocated trust
shares is carried as a reduction of shareowners' equity (as "deferred
compensation"). Principal and interest on the note is paid from employer
contributions and dividends received by the trust. The following table
summarizes the Corporation's expense each year associated with the
allocation of shares held by the LESOP trust to employee accounts and other
related information:
(Dollars in millions) 1993 1992 1991

Total compensation and interest expense

Interest expense portion** .................. 20 27 47
Other information:
Employer contributions to trust ........... 76 74 54
Dividends received by trust ............... $ 30 $ 30 $ 29
=========================================================================
* Determined using the shares-allocated accounting method and after being
reduced by dividends paid on shares held by the trust.
** The Corporation's LESOP interest expense is matched by an equal amount
of interest income earned on the promissory note from the trust and
reflected in miscellaneous income.

K. Capital Stock (Continued)
Shareowner Rights Plan
During 1989, the Board adopted a shareowner rights plan to enhance its
ability to protect the shareowners' interests if the Corporation is faced
with a hostile acquisition proposal. Under the terms of the plan,
shareowners of record as of October 10, 1989 received one right for each
share of the Corporation's common stock held on that date. Initially, the
rights are not exercisable and trade automatically with the Corporation's
common stock. If a takeover attempt occurred that satisfied the tests
described in the plan, each right (except for rights held by the person or
group making that takeover attempt) would become the right to purchase
common stock at one-half its then market value (or, at the Board's
discretion, could be exchanged for an additional share of common stock).
The rights do not have any voting rights, may be redeemed under certain
circumstances at $0.01 per right, and expire on October 10, 1999.
L. Acquisition and Joint Venture Contingencies
Continuing Operations
In June 1990, Prime Cable of Chicago, Inc. ("Prime Cable") acquired certain
Chicago cable television properties from Group W. The Corporation has an
option to purchase a 75 percent interest in Prime Cable upon receiving the
necessary regulatory and legal approvals. TC Cable, Inc. ("TC Cable") now
holds this interest. PacTel Capital Funding, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Corporation, has guaranteed bank financing used by TC Cable and its
parent corporation to acquire this interest. The guarantees cover initial
loan amounts of $60 million as well as interest accruing on the loans which
will be added to the outstanding loan balances up to an aggregate of
$136 million. In the Corporation's opinion, the likelihood that it will be
required to pay principal or interest on this debt under these guarantees
is remote.
Spin-off Operations
In August 1991, PacTel and Cellular Communications, Inc. ("CCI") combined
their cellular telephone interests in Ohio and Michigan by forming an
equally owned joint venture. Concurrent with the formation of the joint
venture, PacTel purchased 5 percent of the equity in CCI, agreed to
purchase additional equity in CCI and obtained the right to acquire all of
CCI's remaining equity in stages over the next several years. During 1992,
PacTel increased its holding in CCI to approximately 12 percent through
open market purchases of stock. PacTel has the right to purchase up to an
additional 15.5 percent of CCI's equity in the open market, through
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise through October 1995.
F-57
<PAGE>
L. Acquisition and Joint Venture Contingencies (continued)
Pursuant to an agreement between PacTel and CCI, in October 1995 PacTel is
obligated to purchase up to approximately $720 million of stock and stock
options in CCI, depending on the number of shares tendered to CCI in a
related redemption. The per share purchase price underlying such
obligation is $60. The stock and options that PacTel is obligated to
purchase represented approximately 25 percent of CCI's equity on a
fully-diluted basis at September 30, 1993. PacTel also has the right (but
not the obligation) during an 18-month period commencing in August 1996 to
purchase the remainder of CCI (but excluding any assets and related
liabilities other than CCI's interest in the joint venture unless otherwise
agreed by the partners) at a price that reflects appraised private market
value of CCI (excluding such assets and related liabilities) at that time.
In the event that PacTel does not exercise such right, the joint venture
effectively terminates and CCI may be obligated to sell its assets,
including those relating to the joint venture, to a third party. If the
joint venture's assets (and related liabilities) are sold within a
specified period (not to exceed two years) at less than the appraised
price, PacTel will be obligated to effect certain "make-whole" payments to
CCI's stockholders based upon the amount of the shortfall. The Corporation
is unable at this time to predict the likelihood of such payments being
required, or to estimate reasonably any range of potential amounts.

N. Quarterly Financial Data (Continued)
First, second, and third quarter 1992 results reflect restatements made in
1992 for the Corporation's adoption, effective January 1, 1992, of SFAS
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," a refund recorded by Pacific Bell, and
charges relating to step acquisition accounting. The adoption of the new
income tax accounting rules increased net income by $34, $10, and
$10 million, respectively, for first, second, and third quarter 1992, and
earnings per share by $0.08, $0.02, and $0.01, respectively. The
restatements made for the Pacific Bell refund reduced first and second
quarter 1992 net income by $28 and $3 million, respectively, and earnings
per share by $0.07 and $0.01, respectively. The charges relating to step
acquisition accounting reduced first quarter 1992 net income by $58
million, or $0.14 per share.
First quarter 1993 results reflect after-tax charges of $1.7 billion, or
$4.24 per share, relating to the Corporation's adoption of new accounting
standards for postretirement and for postemployment benefits, and several
restructuring reserves which reduced first quarter 1993 earnings by
$258 million, or $.63 per share.
Fourth quarter 1993 results reflect after-tax restructuring charges of
$603 million, or $1.43 per share, to cover the cost of force reductions and
anticipated spin-off related costs. Other one-time issues reduced earnings
by $67 million, or $.15 per share.
First quarter 1992 results reflect one-time after-tax gains of $45 million,
or $.11 per share, from the settlement of a pre-divestiture tax matter and
$15 million, or $.04 per share, from a court order regarding interstate
access earnings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of PacTel Corporation:
We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
consolidated balance sheets of PacTel Corporation and Subsidiaries ("PacTel")
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1993, appearing in PacTel's Annual Report on
Form 10-K (not presented herein). As discussed in Notes A and H to the
consolidated financial statements, in 1992 PacTel adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." As discussed in Notes A and J, in 1993 PacTel adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." We did not audit the 1993
and 1992 financial statements of Mannesmann Mobilfunk GmbH ("MMO"), an equity
investee of PacTel, which statements reflect total assets of $1,221,135,000
and $850,661,000 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and total net
loss of $67,655,000 and $52,983,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to
the amounts included for MMO, is based solely on the reports of the other
auditors.
In our report dated March 3, 1994, also appearing in PacTel's Form 10-K, based
on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on PacTel's consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements is fairly presented, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated financial statements from which it
has been derived.

Joint Ventures and Acquisitions
- -------------------------------
Cellular Communications, Inc.
On August 1, 1991, PacTel and CCI combined their cellular telephone interests
in Ohio and Michigan by forming an equally owned joint venture ("New Par").
PacTel also purchased an initial ownership interest in CCI of approximately 5%
for $39 per share, or approximately $90.0 million including related
acquisition costs. During 1992, PacTel increased its holding in CCI to
approximately 12% through open market purchases of stock. Both PacTel's joint
venture interest in New Par and its purchase of CCI shares are accounted for
under the equity method. The investment in net assets contributed by PacTel
to the joint venture has been recorded at the same net book value reflected in
PacTel's consolidated accounts prior to closing.
PacTel and CCI have entered into an agreement (the "Merger Agreement") under
which CCI will, in October 1995, offer to redeem up to 10.04 million shares of
its redeemable stock at $60 per share (the "MRO"). PacTel is obligated to
purchase from CCI at such price a number of newly issued shares of stock equal
to the number of shares purchased by CCI in the MRO. At the same time, PacTel
is obligated to purchase from CCI shares or stock options representing in the
aggregate approximately 2.4 million shares at a price of $60 per share, less
the exercise price in the case of stock options. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, PacTel acquired approximately 5% of CCI and obtained the right to
acquire all of CCI's remaining equity in stages over the next several years.
Beginning in August 1996, PacTel has the right, by causing CCI to redeem all
of its redeemable stock not held by PacTel (the "Redemption"), to acquire CCI,
including its interests in New Par and such other CCI assets and related
liabilities as PacTel and CCI may agree upon, at a price per share that
reflects the appraised private market value of New Par (and such other CCI
assets and related liabilities as PacTel and CCI agree shall be retained)
determined in accordance with an appraisal process set forth in the Merger
Agreement.
PacTel has the opportunity to evaluate up to three different appraisal values
during the 18-month period beginning in August 1996, prior to determining
whether to cause the Redemption. PacTel will finance the Redemption by
providing to CCI any necessary funds.
In the event that PacTel does not exercise its right to cause the Redemption,
CCI is obligated to promptly commence a process to sell itself (and, if
directed by PacTel, PacTel's interest in New Par). In the event that PacTel
does not direct CCI to sell its interest in New Par such partnership dissolves
and the assets are returned to the contributing partner. CCI may, in the
alternative, purchase PacTel's interest in CCI or CCI and New Par, as the case
may be, at a price based upon their appraised values determined in accordance
with the Merger Agreement. If CCI or its interest in New Par is sold within
certain specified time periods not to exceed two years for a price less than
the appraised private market value, PacTel is obligated to pay to each other
CCI stockholder a specified percentage of such shortfall.

Joint Ventures and Acquisitions (Continued)
- -------------------------------------------
In connection with the CCI transaction, Pacific Telesis Group delivered a
letter of responsibility in which it agreed, among other things, to continue
to own a controlling interest in PacTel. Pacific Telesis Group and CCI have
agreed to the termination of such letter of responsibility at the time that
Pacific Telesis Group no longer has a controlling interest in PacTel in
exchange for the provision by PacTel of substitute credit assurance,
consisting of a $600.0 million letter of credit and a pledge of up to 15% of
CCI's shares on a fully diluted basis, for PacTel's obligations in connection
with the MRO and for the payment of any make-whole obligation, respectively.
McCaw Cellular Communications, Inc.
In September 1993, PacTel and McCaw Cellular Communications, Inc. ("McCaw")
contributed their respective cellular operations in San Francisco, San Jose,
Dallas, Kansas City (Missouri/Kansas) and certain adjoining areas to a joint
venture with equal ownership by each company. The new venture ("CMT
Partners") manages two large cellular regional networks covering an estimated
population of 9.2 million people. (PacTel previously had operations covering
an estimated population of 4.5 million people in the joint venture service
area.) In a related transaction, PacTel purchased McCaw's Wichita and Topeka
systems for $100.0 million.
PacTel Teletrac
PacTel Teletrac ("Teletrac"), a start-up company offering vehicle location
services in six markets in the United States, is 51% owned by PacTel, and thus
its operations are consolidated with PacTel. Effective March 31, 1992,
Teletrac exercised its option to acquire all of the assets of International
Teletrac Systems ("ITS"). The acquisition price was $9.5 million to be paid
over two years and the creation of a $69.7 million "preferred capital account"
for the benefit of ITS, which Teletrac accounted for as long-term debt. This
amount was netted with a $20.2 million receivable from ITS and was reflected
as $49.5 million long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December
31, 1992. This $49.5 million debt has since been retired. Additionally,
PacTel's 49% partner in Teletrac provided ITS with a 24% ownership interest in
Teletrac, and, as a part of the purchase agreement, Teletrac credited ITS'
capital account $2.5 million.
Prior to the March 31, 1992 acquisition of ITS' assets, Teletrac had no
ownership interest in ITS. However, PacTel had an obligation through Teletrac
to ITS' lender, who had funded the substantial operating losses of ITS.
Because of this obligation, Teletrac has consolidated ITS for all periods
presented.
As of December 31, 1993, PacTel had advanced Teletrac $170.5 million for
ongoing operating expenses. Teletrac pays interest quarterly at Wells Fargo's
prime rate plus 2%. Advances issued prior to May 29, 1992 have a three-year
term with an option to extend for up to an additional five years. Advances
issued after May 29, 1992 have a six-year term. PacTel can convert the
advances into additional equity interests in Teletrac or Teletrac's corporate
successor. The conversion rate may be based on an appraised price or a
percentage of the price of stock issued in an initial public offering for
Teletrac's corporate successor. Such initial public offering, which may be

Joint Ventures and Acquisitions (Continued)
- -------------------------------------------
solely elected by the shareholders of the minority partner of Teletrac, must
generally occur prior to March 31, 1995.
Teletrac (including ITS) reported pre-tax losses of $41.6 million,
$49.1 million, and $36.8 million during 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
PacTel does not expect Teletrac's operations to be profitable for several
years. PacTel intends to take actions to reduce Teletrac's operating losses
and does not intend to expand Teletrac's operations significantly until its
services achieve a higher level of commercial acceptance. In February 1994,
PacTel reduced Teletrac's staff by 30% to approximately 200 employees. PacTel
is continuously evaluating and considering other commercial applications of
its technology and radio location spectrum.
NordicTel Holdings AB
In October 1993, PacTel acquired a 51% interest in NordicTel Holdings AB
("NordicTel"), one of three providers of global digital cellular services in
Sweden, for $153.0 million. PacTel also contributed $5.4 million to
NordicTel's equity capital. PacTel also holds an option exercisable between
July 1 and September 30, 1994, to purchase an additional 6.75% of NordicTel's
equity for approximately $20.0 million.
Pro Forma Results
The unaudited pro forma data for significant acquisitions occurring in 1993
include the results of PacTel, Wichita and Topeka, and PacTel's share of the
results of CMT Partners and NordicTel. The results listed below reflect
purchase price accounting adjustments assuming the acquisitions occurred at
the beginning of each year presented. The unaudited pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the
acquisitions had been in effect for the entire periods and are not necessarily
indicative of the results of future operations.

Commitments and Contingencies
- -----------------------------
Cellular Plus Inc.
A complaint has been filed in San Diego against PacTel's wholly owned
subsidiary, PacTel Cellular ("Cellular"), and another regional telephone
company (Cellular's competitor in San Diego), alleging on behalf of agents and
dealers that Cellular engaged in price fixing of wholesale and retail cellular
service.
The outcome of this action is uncertain. Accordingly, no accrual for a
contingency has been made. PacTel intends to defend itself vigorously in this
action and does not expect that any unfavorable outcome will have a material
impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
Garabedian dba Western Mobile Telephone Company v. LASMSA Limited Partnership,
et al.
- -- --
A class action complaint has been filed naming as defendants, among others,
Los Angeles Cellular Telephone Company (LACTC) and PacTel, as general partner
for Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership. The plaintiff alleges that LACTC
and PacTel conspired to fix the price of wholesale and retail cellular service
in the Los Angeles market. The plaintiff alleges damages for the class "in a
sum in excess of $100 million."
On January 31, 1994, PacTel filed a demurrer to the complaint. No discovery
has been undertaken as of March 3, 1994. PacTel intends to defend itself
vigorously. PacTel does not anticipate this proceeding will have a material
adverse effect on PacTel's financial position.
Other
PacTel is party to various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of
business. Although the ultimate resolution of these proceedings cannot be
ascertained, management does not believe they will have a materially adverse
effect on the results of operations or financial condition of PacTel.
PacTel has no material long-term capital lease obligations. Rental expense
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 was $33.3 million,
$31.9 million and $26.6 million, respectively.
PacTel and the Pacific Telesis holding company have various letters of
responsibility and letters of support for performance guarantees, refundable
security deposits and credit facilities of certain subsidiaries and
affiliates. These letters of responsibility and letters of support do not
provide for recourse to either Pacific Telesis or to PacTel. Separately, as
of December 31, 1993 PacTel guaranteed approximately $10.4 million owed by a
third party. PacTel believes that the likelihood of having to pay under the
guarantee is remote.
A subsidiary of PacTel guarantees the liabilities of a third party, for which
the subsidiary is indemnified by minority shareholders unaffiliated with
PacTel. PacTel believes it is remote that it will be required to pay under
this guarantee.

<PAGE>
Additionally, in August 1993, PacTel provided a letter supporting the
commercial paper program entered into by Telecel Comunicacoes Pessoais, S.A.
in which PacTel may be liable for its proportionate share of the loans issued
under the program if certain loan covenants are not met. As of December 31,
1993, the potential liability is approximately $6.5 million. PacTel believes
that the likelihood of having to pay under the letter is remote. (See also
Note L "Acquisition and Joint Venture Contingencies - Spin-off Operations" on
page F-57.)
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
- -------------------------------------------
Compensation to Employees
Certain key PacTel employees are eligible for the grant of options to purchase
shares of Pacific Telesis Group common stock and stock appreciation rights
("SARs") under the Pacific Telesis Group Stock Option and Stock Appreciation
Rights Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan was adopted by Pacific Telesis Group on
January 1, 1984.
Following the spin-off, it is expected that outstanding awards under the Plan
as of the record date for the spin-off will be replaced by PacTel awards (the
"Replacement Awards"). For stock options and SARs, it is expected that the
Replacement Awards will have the same aggregate exercise prices, cover the
same aggregate fair market values of stock and continue the vesting schedules
and other conditions for exercise of the Pacific Telesis Group options or SARs
they replace. The formula to determine the total number of Replacement Awards
to be issued to PacTel employees is dependent on the respective market values
of the Pacific Telesis Group and PacTel Common Stock in the 10 trading days
prior to the record date associated with the spin-off. As such, PacTel cannot
accurately determine the number of Replacement Awards that will be outstanding
after the spin-off date. The formula is a fraction, with the pre-spin-off
market value of Pacific Telesis Group common shares as the numerator and the
pre-spin-off market value of PacTel's Common Stock as the denominator,
multiplied by the number of Pacific Telesis Group options held by PacTel
employees. At December 31, 1993, PacTel employees held approximately
1.3 million options on Pacific Telesis Group common stock.
Compensation to Investment Advisers
Pacific Telesis Group and PacTel have agreed to the terms of compensation to
be paid to Sterling Payot Company, an investment firm that advised Pacific
Telesis Group and PacTel. The terms require Pacific Telesis Group and PacTel
to each issue 350,000 stock appreciation rights to Sterling Payot on the spin-
off date. The exercise price for one-half of the Pacific Telesis Group and
one-half of PacTel SARs is $30 per share and $20 per share, respectively, and
the exercise price for the remaining one-half is $36 per share and $24 per
share, respectively. The agreement provides that once SARs with an aggregate
value of $6 million have been exercised, any remaining SARs expire and may not
be exercised. The stock appreciation rights are exercisable for three years
from the date of issuance.

International Operations
- ------------------------
PacTel's subsidiary, Pacific Telesis International ("PTI"), provides paging
services through two companies in Thailand. PacTel assets in that nation
totalled $34.9 million at December 31, 1993, and 1993 revenues and net loss
totalled $26.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
PTI also has substantial investments in consortia that do business in other
countries. These consortia, for the most part, are start-up businesses that
are either in the process of constructing networks or are just beginning
operations. One consortium, Mannesmann Mobilfunk GmbH, operates the world's
largest digital cellular network. At the end of 1993, PacTel had a net
investment in this German consortium of $234.2 million. PacTel's share of
consortium revenues and net loss for 1993 totalled $125.8 million and
$20.6 million, respectively.
In Japan, PacTel owns an interest in three ventures that will provide cellular
services to various metropolitan areas, including Tokyo and Osaka. At
December 31, 1993, PacTel's net investment in these consortia totalled
$29.8 million. No revenues were recognized for 1993, and PacTel's share of
the year's net loss was $4.2 million.
Another consortium, Telecel Comunicacoes Pessoais, S.A., operates a national
digital cellular system in Portugal. PacTel's net investment in this
consortium at the end of 1993 totalled $26.9 million. PacTel's share of 1993
revenues and net loss was $14.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
In Sweden, PacTel owns a 51% interest in NordicTel, one of three providers of
global digital cellular services in Sweden. PacTel's assets in NordicTel
totalled $77.9 million at December 31, 1993, and 1993 revenues and net loss
totalled $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
While PacTel has chosen not to do business in nations with highly inflationary
economies, it continues to try to mitigate the effects of foreign currency
fluctuations through the use of hedges and local banking accounts.

Subsequent Events
- -----------------
In January 1994, PacTel's cellular services subsidiary signed a definitive
agreement to purchase digital cellular network equipment for use in the
greater Los Angeles area. The contract is initially valued at approximately
$77 million but could reach $130 million by the year 2000 depending upon final
system design specifications.
In February 1994, PacTel signed a commitment letter authorizing a major
financial institution to proceed with arranging and syndicating a $600 million
revolving credit facility. The proposed credit facility, which is subject to
the negotiation and execution of a definitive bank loan agreement, would
provide PacTel with funding for general corporate purposes and with standby
letters of credit to support its obligations to purchase additional shares in
CCI under the Mandatory Redemption Obligation. The new credit facility is
anticipated to close on or before the spin-off and would replace an existing
letter of responsibility issued by Pacific Telesis Group.
In February 1994 PacTel announced a new corporate name and identity it will
use after completion of the spin-off. The new corporate name is AirTouch
Communications.
In March 1994, the Pacific Telesis Group Board of Directors announced its
final decision to spin off PacTel's operations effective April 1, 1994.

Proportionate Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------
Because significant assets of PacTel are not consolidated and because of the
substantial effect of formation of New Par and CMT Partners on the year-to-
year comparability of PacTel's consolidated financial results, PacTel believes
that proportionate operating data facilitates the understanding and assessment
of its consolidated financial statements. Unlike consolidation accounting,
proportionate accounting is not in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for the cellular industry. Proportionate accounting
reflects the relative weight of PacTel's ownership interests in its domestic
cellular systems.
The following table sets forth, supplemental financial data for PacTel's
domestic cellular operations. The table reflects the proportionate share of
each entity in which PacTel has or shares operational control and excludes
certain minority investments, principally PacTel's investments in cellular
systems serving Dallas/Fort Worth, Las Vegas and Tucson, for which PacTel does
not receive timely financial and operating data and which in total represented
approximately five percent of its proportionate domestic cellular operating
income in 1993. This table does not include any data for PacTel's
international cellular operations.

PACIFIC TELESIS GROUP
1994 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION.
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the
Company and the creation of shareowner value by (a) encouraging Key
Employees to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the
attraction and retention of Key Employees with exceptional qualifications
and (c) linking Key Employees directly to shareowner interests through
increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by
providing for Awards in the form of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options
(which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options)
or stock appreciation rights.
The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of California (except their choice-of-law provisions).
ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATION.
2.1 Committee Composition. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall consist of two or more disinterested
directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. A member of
the Board shall be deemed to be "disinterested" only if he or she satisfies
such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish
for disinterested administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for
exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act. An
Outside Director shall not fail to be "disinterested" solely because he or
she receives the NSO grants or the Restricted Share grants described in
Section 4.2 or makes an election under Article 12. The Board may also
appoint one or more separate committees of the Board, each composed of one
or more directors of the Company who need not be disinterested, who may
administer the Plan with respect to Key Employees who are not officers or
directors of the Company, may grant Awards under the Plan to such Key
Employees and may determine all terms of such Awards.
2.2 Committee Responsibilities. The Committee shall (a) select the
Key Employees who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the
type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such
Awards, (c) interpret the Plan and (d) make all other decisions relating to
the operation of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines
as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee's
determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.
ARTICLE 3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.
3.1 Basic Limitation. Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan
shall be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate
number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options and SARs awarded under the
Plan shall not exceed 21,000,000. The limitation of this Section 3.1 shall
be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10.
3.2 Additional Shares. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are
1
<PAGE>
forfeited or if Options or SARs terminate for any other reason before being
exercised, then such Stock Units, Options or SARs shall again become
available for Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the
number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs
shall reduce the number available under Section 3.1 and the balance shall
again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Restricted Shares are
forfeited before any dividends have been paid with respect to such
Restricted Shares, then such Restricted Shares shall again become available
for Awards under the Plan.
3.3 Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents distributed
under the Plan shall not be applied against the number of Restricted Shares,
Stock Units, Options or SARs available for Awards, whether or not such
dividend equivalents are converted into Stock Units.
ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY.
4.1 General Rules. Only Key Employees (including, without
limitation, independent contractors who are not members of the Board) shall
be eligible for designation as Participants by the Committee. Key Employees
who are Outside Directors shall only be eligible for the grant of the NSOs
and Restricted Shares described in Section 4.2 and for making an election
described in Article 12.
4.2 Outside Directors. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, the participation of Outside Directors in the Plan shall be
subject to the following restrictions:
(a) Outside Directors shall receive no Awards except as
described in this Section 4.2 and in Article 12.
(b) Upon the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of the
Company's shareowners, each Outside Director who will continue serving
as a member of the Board thereafter shall receive an NSO covering
2,000 Common Shares if such meeting occurs after the Distribution Date
or 1,000 Common Shares if such meeting occurs before the Distribution
Date (subject to adjustment under Article 10). Such NSO shall become
exercisable in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
(c) All NSOs granted to an Outside Director under this
Section 4.2 shall also become exercisable in full in the event of (i)
the termination of such Outside Director's service because of death or
total and permanent disability or (ii) a Change in Control with
respect to the Company.
(d) The Exercise Price under all NSOs granted to an Outside
Director under this Section 4.2 shall be equal to 100% of the Fair
Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant, payable in one of
the forms described in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4.
(e) All NSOs granted to an Outside Director under this
Section 4.2 shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the 10th
anniversary of the date of grant, (ii) the date three months after the
termination of such Outside Director's service for any reason other
than death, total and permanent disability or Retirement, (iii) the
2
<PAGE>
date 12 months after the termination of such Outside Director's
service because of death or (iv) the date 36 months after the
termination of such Outside Director's service because of total and
permanent disability or Retirement.

event occurs before the Distribution Date (subject to adjustment under
Article 10). Restricted Shares granted in accordance with this
Subsection (g) shall be 100% vested on the date of grant.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 5. OPTIONS.
5.1 Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the
Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the
Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO
or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered
into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in
consideration of a cash payment or in consideration of a reduction in the
Optionee's other compensation. A Stock Option Agreement may provide that
new Options will be granted automatically to the Optionee when he or she
exercises the prior Options.
5.2 Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of Common Shares subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. Options granted to
any Optionee in a single calendar year shall in no event cover more than
500,000 Common Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 10.
5.3 Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
Exercise Price, provided that the Exercise Price under an ISO shall in no
event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the
effective date of the grant (which may be later than the date when the
Committee resolves to make such grant). In the case of an NSO, a Stock
Option Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance
with a predetermined formula while the NSO is outstanding.
5.4 Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall
specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become
exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the
Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years
from the date of grant. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for
accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death, disability
or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the
end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's service.
Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may
provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are
forfeited. NSOs may also be awarded in combination with Restricted Shares
or Stock Units, and such an Award may provide that the NSOs will not be
exercisable unless the related Restricted Shares or Stock Units are
forfeited.
5.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at
the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become
fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such Option in the
event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. If the
Committee finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the
succeeding six months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the
Company, then the Committee at its sole discretion may determine that any or
all outstanding Options shall become fully exercisable as to all Common
Shares subject to such Options.
5.6 Modification or Assumption of Options. Within the limitations
of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding options
or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (whether granted by
4
<PAGE>
the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new options for
the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different
exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option
shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair his or her
rights or obligations under such Option.
ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.
6.1 General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued
upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash at the time when such
Common Shares are purchased, except as follows:
(a) In the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, payment shall
be made only pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable
Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement may specify that
payment may be made in any form(s) described in this Article 6.
(b) In the case of an NSO, the Committee may at any time accept
payment in any form(s) described in this Article 6.
6.2 Surrender of Stock. To the extent that this Section 6.2 is
applicable, payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made
with Common Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market
Value on the date when the new Common Shares are purchased under the Plan.
6.3 Exercise/Sale. To the extent that this Section 6.3 is
applicable, payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the
Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the
Company to sell Common Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales
proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and
any withholding taxes.
6.4 Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that this Section 6.4 is
applicable, payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the
Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Common Shares to a securities
broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to
deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or
part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.
6.5 Promissory Note. To the extent that this Section 6.5 is
applicable, payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made
with a full-recourse promissory note.
6.6 Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that this Section 6.6 is
applicable, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with
applicable laws, regulations and rules.
5
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
7.1 SAR Agreement. Each grant of an SAR under the Plan shall be
evidenced by an SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such
SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject
to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions
of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be
identical. SARs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the
Optionee's other compensation.
7.2 Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number
of Common Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 10. SARs granted to
any Optionee in a single calendar year shall in no event pertain to more
than 500,000 Common Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with
Article 10.
7.3 Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise
Price. An SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in
accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.
7.4 Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the
date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The
SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. An SAR Agreement may
provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death,
disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration
prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the
Optionee's service. SARs may also be awarded in combination with Options,
Restricted Shares or Stock Units, and such an Award may provide that the
SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options, Restricted Shares
or Stock Units are forfeited. An SAR may be included in an ISO only at the
time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or at any
subsequent time, but not later than six months before the expiration of such
NSO. An SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable
only in the event of a Change in Control.
7.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at
the time of granting an SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully
exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. If the Committee
finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the succeeding six
months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the Company, then the
Committee at its sole discretion may determine that any or all outstanding
SARs shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such
SARs.
7.6 Exercise of SARs. The exercise of an SAR shall be subject to
the restrictions imposed by Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange
Act, if applicable. If, on the date when an SAR expires, the Exercise Price
under such SAR is less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any
portion of such SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR
shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect
to such portion. Upon exercise of an SAR, the Optionee (or any person
having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive
from the Company (a) Common Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Common
Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash
6
<PAGE>
and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of SARs
shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market
Value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the SARs
exceeds the Exercise Price.
7.7 Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of
the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may
accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company
or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a
different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price.
The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an SAR shall, without the
consent of the Optionee, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations
under such SAR.
ARTICLE 8. RESTRICTED SHARES AND STOCK UNITS.
8.1 Time, Amount and Form of Awards. Awards under the Plan may be
granted in the form of Restricted Shares, in the form of Stock Units, or in
any combination of both. Restricted Shares or Stock Units may also be
awarded in combination with NSOs or SARs, and such an Award may provide that
the Restricted Shares or Stock Units will be forfeited in the event that the
related NSOs or SARs are exercised.
8.2 Payment for Awards. No cash consideration shall be required of
the recipients of Awards under this Article 8.
8.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares or Stock
Units shall become vested, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of
the conditions specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award
Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events. The
Committee may determine, at the time of making an Award or thereafter, that
such Award shall become fully vested in the event that a Change in Control
occurs with respect to the Company.
8.4 Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of
vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Common Shares or
(c) any combination of both. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for
settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original
Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting
Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the
average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series of trading days.
Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The
distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to
the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to
any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by
an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock
Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to
adjustment pursuant to Article 10.
8.5 Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable
after the recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's
beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under
the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by
filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may
7
<PAGE>
be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before
the Award recipient's death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no
designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units
Award that becomes payable after the recipient's death shall be distributed
to the recipient's estate.
8.6 Creditors' Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights
other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units
represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to
the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Award Agreement.
ARTICLE 9. VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS.
9.1 Restricted Shares. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded
under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the
Company's other shareowners. A Stock Award Agreement, however, may require
that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in
additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be
subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to
which the dividends were paid. Such additional Restricted Shares shall not
reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3.
9.2 Stock Units. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting
rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the
Plan may, at the Committee's discretion, carry with it a right to dividend
equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount
equal to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is
outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock
Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash,
in the form of Common Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to
distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject
to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they
attach.
ARTICLE 10. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.
10.1 Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a
declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an
amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a
combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by
reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, a
recapitalization, a spinoff or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall
make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in
one or more of (a) the number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock
Units available for future Awards under Article 3, (b) the limitations set
forth in Sections 5.2 and 7.2, (c) the number of NSOs and Restricted Shares
to be granted to Outside Directors under Section 4.2, (d) the number of
Stock Units included in any prior Award which has not yet been settled,
(e) the number of Common Shares covered by each outstanding Option and SAR,
or (f) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR. Except as
provided in this Article 10, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of
any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible
into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock
8
<PAGE>
of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
10.2 Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a
merger or other reorganization, outstanding Options, SARs, Restricted Shares
and Stock Units shall be subject to the agreement of merger or
reorganization. Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the
assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent,
for their continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving
corporation), for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for
settlement in cash.
ARTICLE 11. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.
The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such
awards may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan.
Such Common Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like
Common Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued,
reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3.
ARTICLE 12. PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR'S FEES IN SECURITIES.
12.1 Effective Date. No provision of this Article 12 shall be
effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement such
provision.
12.2 Elections to Receive NSOs or Stock Units. An Outside Director
may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and meeting fees
from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs, Stock Units, or a combination
thereof. Such NSOs and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An
election under this Article 12 shall be filed with the Company on the
prescribed form. The election shall apply only to annual retainers and
meeting fees payable at least six months after such form has been received
by the Company. The election may be amended or canceled by filing a new
form with the Company, but the new form shall apply only to annual retainers
payable and meeting fees at least six months after it has been received by
the Company.
12.3 Number and Terms of NSOs. The number of NSOs to be granted to
Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would
otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the
Board. The terms of such NSOs shall also be determined by the Board.
12.4 Number and Terms of Stock Units. The number of Stock Units to
be granted to outside Directors shall be calculated by dividing the amount
of the annual retainer or meeting fee that would otherwise be paid in cash
by the arithmetic mean of the Fair Market Values of a Common Share on the 10
consecutive trading days ending with the date when such retainer or meeting
fee is payable. The terms of such Stock Units shall be determined by the
Board.
9
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 13. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS
13.1 Retention Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under
the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an
employee, consultant or director of the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate. The Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries reserve the
right to terminate the service of any employee, consultant or director at
any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the Company's
certificate of incorporation and by-laws and a written employment agreement
(if any).
13.2 Shareholders' Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend
rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any
Common Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the issuance of a stock
certificate for such Common Shares. No adjustment shall be made for cash
dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
when such certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in Articles 8,
9 and 10.
13.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares under
the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and
such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company
reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common
Shares pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal
requirements relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their
registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration,
qualification or listing.
ARTICLE 14. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS.
14.1 Basic Rule. Any provision of the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that the independent auditors most recently
selected by the Board (the "Auditors") determine that any payment or
transfer by the Company to or for the benefit of a Participant, whether paid
or payable (or transferred or transferable) pursuant to the terms of this
Plan or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be nondeductible by the Company for
federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning "excess
parachute payments" in section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present
value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced
Amount; provided that the Committee, at the time of making an Award under
this Plan or at any time thereafter, may specify in writing that such Award
shall not be so reduced and shall not be subject to this Article 14. For
purposes of this Article 14, the "Reduced Amount" shall be the amount,
expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of
the Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company
because of section 280G of the Code.
14.2 Reduction of Payments. If the Auditors determine that any
Payment would be nondeductible by the Company because of section 280G of the
Code, then the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that
effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced
Amount, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion,
which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long
10
<PAGE>
as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals
the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her
election within 10 days of receipt of notice. If no such election is made
by the Participant within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect
which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long
as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals
the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such
election. For purposes of this Article 14, present value shall be
determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All
determinations made by the Auditors under this Article 14 shall be binding
upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within 60 days of the
date when a payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as
practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the
Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such
amounts as are then due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay
or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future such
amounts as become due to him or her under the Plan.
14.3 Overpayments and Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in
the application of section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial
determination by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will
have been made by the Company which should not have been made (an
"Overpayment") or that additional Payments which will not have been made by
the Company could have been made (an "Underpayment"), consistent in each
case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event
that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal
Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant which the Auditors
believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has
been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to
the Participant which he or she shall repay to the Company, together with
interest at the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of
the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the
Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not
reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under section 4999 of the
Code. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has
occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the
Company to or for the benefit of the Participant, together with interest at
the applicable federal rate provided in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
14.4 Related Corporations. For purposes of this Article 14, the term
"Company" shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by
the Auditors in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.
ARTICLE 15. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
15.1. General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state,
local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any
withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The
Company shall not be required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash
payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.
15.2 Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to
satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by
having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Common Shares that
11
<PAGE>
otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion
of any Common Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Common Shares
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise
would be withheld in cash. Any payment of taxes by assigning Common Shares
to the Company may be subject to restrictions, including any restrictions
required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ARTICLE 16. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF AWARDS.
16.1 General. Except as provided in Article 15, an Award granted
under the Plan shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished,
optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor's process, whether
voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. An Option or SAR may be
exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him or her or by his
or her guardian or legal representative. Any act in violation of this
Article 16 shall be void. However, this Article 16 shall not preclude a
Participant from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding
Awards in the event of the Participant's death, nor shall it preclude a
transfer of Awards by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
16.2 Trusts. Neither this Article 16 nor any other provision of the
Plan shall preclude a Participant from transferring or assigning Restricted
Shares to (a) the trustee of a trust that is revocable by such Participant
alone, both at the time of the transfer or assignment and at all times
thereafter prior to such Participant's death, or (b) the trustee of any
other trust to the extent approved in advance by the Committee in writing.
A transfer or assignment of Restricted Shares from such trustee to any
person other than such Participant shall be permitted only to the extent
approved in advance by the Committee in writing, and Restricted Shares held
by such trustee shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions
set forth in the Plan and in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, as if
such trustee were a party to such Agreement.
ARTICLE 17. FUTURE OF THE PLAN.
17.1 Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become
effective on January 1, 1994; provided that all awards under the Plan shall
be contingent on shareholder approval of the Plan on or before December 31,
1994 and absent such approval the Plan and all awards granted thereunder
shall be null and void. The Plan shall remain in effect until it is
terminated under Section 17.2, except that no ISOs shall be granted after
December 31, 2003.
17.2 Amendment or Termination. The Board may, at any time and for
any reason, amend or terminate the Plan, except that the provisions of
Section 4.2 relating to the amount, price and timing of Option grants to
Outside Directors shall not be amended more than once in any six-month
period after the Plan becomes effective. An amendment of the Plan shall be
subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders only to the extent
required by applicable laws, regulations or rules. No Awards shall be
granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of
the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Award previously
granted under the Plan.
