Verizon announces private exchange offers and consent solicitations for 11 series of notes open to certain
investors
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) today announced the
commencement of offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”), on behalf of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, any and all of the outstanding series of debt securities listed below (the “Old Notes”) for specified series
of newly issued notes of Verizon (collectively, the “New Notes”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 11, 2026 (the “Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation Statement” and, together with the accompanying letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and eligibility letter, the “Exchange Offer Documents”). Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, Verizon, on
behalf of such subsidiaries, is soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) to the proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indentures governing the Old Notes (the “Existing Indentures”) in
order to, among other things, eliminate certain of the restrictive covenants contained therein, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Documents. If an Eligible Holder (as defined below) validly tenders Old Notes
in an Exchange Offer, such Eligible Holder will be deemed to deliver its consent, with respect to the principal amount of such tendered Old Notes, to the Proposed Amendments. Eligible Holders may neither deliver their consents in a particular
Consent Solicitation without tendering Old Notes in the related Exchange Offer, nor may they tender Old Notes in a particular Exchange Offer without delivering their consents with respect to such Old Notes in the related Consent Solicitation. The
completion of any Exchange Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of the requisite consents in the related Consent Solicitation.
Only
holders who have duly completed and returned an eligibility letter (which can be accessed at the following link: http://gbsc-usa.com/eligibility/verizon) certifying that they are either
(1) “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (2) non-“U.S. persons” (as
defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) located outside of the United States and who are “Non-U.S. qualified offerees” (as defined in the eligibility letter) are authorized to receive the
Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement and to participate in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations (each such holder, an “Eligible Holder”).
The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to the terms and conditions described in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation
Statement. Verizon reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation Statement, Verizon is offering to exchange the following outstanding securities for the consideration described below:

See Annex A of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement for a list of original issuers, as
applicable.
(2)
The principal amount of the specified series of New Notes payable, as part of the Total Consideration (as
defined below), for Old Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Participation Date (as defined below) for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes accepted for exchange, which amount includes the applicable Early Participation
Payment (as defined below) of $50 principal amount of such series of New Notes. Eligible Holders who validly tender Old Notes of any particular series after the Early Participation Date, but at or prior to the Expiration Date, will receive the
Exchange Consideration, which will consist of the principal amount of the applicable series of New Notes equal to the applicable New Notes Consideration set forth above, minus the Early Participation Payment. In addition, each series of New
Notes will accrue interest from (and including) the most recent date on which interest has been paid on the corresponding series of Old Notes accepted for exchange; provided that interest will accrue only with respect to the aggregate
principal amount of New Notes an Eligible Holder receives, which will be less than the principal amount of Old Notes tendered for exchange if such Eligible Holder tenders its Old Notes after the Early Participation Date.
(3)
Eligible Holders who validly tender Old Notes of any particular series at or prior to the applicable Early
Participation Date will receive a separate consent payment of $1 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes accepted for exchange for the Consent Solicitations (the “Consent Payment”). Eligible Holders who validly tender Old Notes
of any particular series after the Early Participation Date, but at or prior to the Expiration Date, will not receive the Consent Payment.
*
Denotes a series of Old Notes, a portion of which is held in physical certificated form (such portion, the
“Certificated Notes”) and is not held through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Such Certificated Notes may only be tendered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. With
respect to the Certificated Notes, all references to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement herein shall also include the Letter of Transmittal.
Verizon today also announced the commencement of separate cash tender offers, for its own account and on behalf of certain of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, to purchase 20 series of outstanding notes, including the Old Notes, and consent solicitations for 11 series of outstanding notes representing the Old Notes, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase
and Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 11, 2026. Consents delivered for a series of Old Notes in connection with the Exchange Offers will be cumulated with the consents delivered for such series of Old Notes in connection with the
separate cash tender offers. The cash tender offers and consent solicitations are separate and distinct from the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, and neither the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations nor the separate cash tender offers
and consent solicitations are conditioned upon the consummation of the other such offer. An Eligible Holder will only be able to tender Old Notes within a series into either the Exchange Offer or the concurrent cash tender offer, as the same Old
Notes cannot be tendered into more than one tender offer at the same time through ATOP.
The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will each expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on June 16, 2026 unless extended or earlier terminated by Verizon (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, as the same may be extended with respect to such Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation,
the “Expiration Date”). To be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below), which includes the Early Participation Payment (as defined below), Eligible Holders must validly tender their Old Notes at or prior to 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on June 1, 2026 unless extended or earlier terminated (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, as the same may be extended with respect to such Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation, the “Early Participation Date”). The applicable “Total Consideration” payable by Verizon for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Participation
Date and accepted by Verizon will consist of the principal amount of the applicable series of New Notes equal to the applicable New Notes Consideration as set forth in the tables below under the heading “New Notes Consideration” (which
amounts are inclusive of the Early Participation Payment) (the “New Notes Consideration”). The “Early Participation Payment” for each series of Old Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Participation Date
is equal to $50 principal amount of the applicable series of New Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of such Old Notes. Eligible Holders who validly tender Old Notes of any particular series at or prior to the applicable Early Participation Date
also will receive a separate consent payment of $1 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes accepted for exchange for the Consent Solicitations (the “Consent Payment”).
Eligible Holders who validly tender their Old Notes after the applicable Early Participation Date, but at or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date, will be eligible to receive the consideration (the “Exchange Consideration”) for any such series accepted, which will consist, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Old Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange
by Verizon, of the principal amount of the applicable series of New Notes equal to the applicable New Notes Consideration minus the Early Participation Payment. Eligible Holders who validly tender Old Notes of any particular series after the
Early Participation Date, but at or prior to the Expiration Date, will not receive the Consent Payment.
Promptly after the Expiration
Date, Verizon will issue a press release specifying, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes accepted in each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Old Notes may be validly withdrawn (and related consents may be validly revoked) at any time at or prior to the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on June 1, 2026, unless extended with respect to any Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, or (ii) the effectiveness of the supplemental indentures to the corresponding Existing Indentures implementing the
applicable Proposed Amendments (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, as the same may be extended with respect to such Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the “Withdrawal and Revocation
Date”), but not thereafter.
The “Settlement Date,” if any, is the date on which Verizon will settle all Old Notes
validly tendered and accepted for exchange, subject to all conditions having been satisfied or waived by Verizon. The Settlement Date is expected to be the third business day following the applicable Expiration Date, or June 22, 2026, unless
extended with respect to any Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Each series of New Notes, if and when issued, will have the same
economic terms as the corresponding series of Old Notes, including maturity date, interest rate, and interest payment dates, and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Verizon will enter into a registration rights agreement with
respect to the New Notes.
Global Bondholder Services Corporation will act as the Exchange Agent and Information Agent for the Exchange
Offers and Consent Solicitations. Questions or requests for assistance related to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, including for assistance in completing an eligibility letter, or for additional copies of the Exchange Offer Documents
may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (855) 654-2015 (toll free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect). You may also contact your broker, dealer, commercial
bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations.
If Verizon terminates any
Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation with respect to one or more series of Old Notes, it will give prompt notice to the Exchange Agent or Information Agent, as applicable, and all Old Notes tendered pursuant to such terminated Exchange Offer and
Consent Solicitation will be returned promptly to the tendering Eligible Holders thereof. With effect from such termination, any Old Notes blocked in DTC will be released.
Eligible Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other
intermediary through which they hold Old Notes as to when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a beneficial owner in order for that Eligible Holder to be able to participate in, or withdraw their instruction to participate in,
the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations before the deadlines specified herein and in the Exchange Offer Documents. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and DTC for the submission and withdrawal of exchange instructions may be earlier
than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Exchange Offer Documents.
This announcement is for informational purposes
only. This announcement is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any Old Notes. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made solely pursuant to the Exchange Offer Documents. The Exchange Offers and
Consent Solicitations are not being made to holders of Old Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which
the securities laws or blue sky laws require the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will be deemed to be made on behalf of Verizon by the dealer managers
or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
