Is there a penalty to exchange Bellsout stock now?

[Tom]

Do I have to pay a per cent age of the the exchange value for Bellsouth stock
if I exchange it on 6/1/2015? Will I get all the past dividends ? Who do I
call?

Here's the page from ATT Investor Relations regarding the Bellsouth acquisition back in 2006:

If you had the shares at any brokerage, they've already been exchanged.

If you have a paper stock certificate, and never notified them of your address, it's not clear what happened to all the dividend checks they were supposed to send you. Contact AT&T's transfer agent, Computershare at 1-877-224-0464 (in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada) or 1-781-575-4729 (outside the U.S. and Canada).
