Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

            On October 8, 1999, SBC Communications Inc. ("SBC"), a Delaware
corporation, and Ameritech Corporation ("AIT"), a Delaware corporation,
consummated a merger (the "Merger") whereby SBC Delaware, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBC, was merged with and
into AIT, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"),
dated as of May 10, 1998, among SBC, AIT and Merger Sub. As a result of the
Merger, AIT has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBC.

            SBC currently intends to continue to use the assets of AIT to
provide telecommunications and telecommunications-related services.

            Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and
outstanding share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of AIT (the "AIT
Common Stock") was converted into and became exchangeable for 1.316 shares of
common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of SBC (the "SBC Common Stock"). SBC
issued approximately 1,446,000,000 shares of SBC Common Stock in exchange for
the shares of AIT Common Stock.

            Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of SBC (the
"SBC Board") has been expanded from 19 to 24 members, and Richard C. Notebaert,
James A. Henderson, Lynn M. Martin, John B. McCoy, and Laura D'Andrea Tyson, all
of whom were members of the Board of Directors of AIT prior to the Merger, have
been elected to the SBC Board.
