In the fall of the same year, the parent company distributed the remaining 80% of Lucent Technologies stock to AT&T stockholders on the basis of approximately 1 new Lucent share for each 3 shares of AT&T that were owned. In other words, the owner of 100 shares of AT&T received approximately 33 shares of stock in Lucent Technologies.
