Any and All Tender Offers and the extended early participation period end at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 16, 2026, unless changed.

8 terms
tender offers financial
"announced the pricing terms of its previously announced 20 separate offers..."
A tender offer is a proposal by one company or individual to buy shares from existing owners of a company at a specified price within a certain time frame. It matters to investors because it can lead to changes in company ownership or control, potentially affecting the value of their investments. Essentially, it’s a way for someone to try to purchase a large portion of a company’s stock directly from shareholders.
reference U.S. Treasury Security financial
"Reference U.S. Treasury Security (2) | Fixed Spread (Basis Points)..."
A reference U.S. Treasury security is a specific government bond or bill used as the standard benchmark for pricing and comparing other investments. Investors treat it like a yardstick for the “risk-free” interest rate, so its yield influences borrowing costs, bond prices and the extra return demanded for riskier assets; think of it as the baseline price everyone uses to judge other financial deals.
fixed spread financial
"the fixed spread for the applicable series of Notes plus the yield..."
A fixed spread is a set difference between the buying and selling prices of a financial instrument that remains constant regardless of market conditions. For investors, this means the cost to trade stays predictable, making it easier to understand potential expenses and plan accordingly—similar to a fixed fee in a service that doesn’t change, no matter how busy or slow the market becomes.
offer yield financial
"The “Offer Yield” is equal to the sum of (a) the yield..."
Offer yield is the annual return an investor would earn if they buy a bond or income security at the current asking (offer) price, based on its scheduled interest payments and repayment of principal. It matters because it shows the effective interest rate you get relative to what you pay—like comparing the rent you’d collect from a rental property to the price you paid for the house—helping investors decide if the purchase is worth it compared with other options.
total consideration financial
"The Total Consideration for each series of Notes is based on the fixed spread..."
Total consideration is the full amount of value exchanged in a transaction, including all payments, assets, or benefits involved. It represents what is given up or received in a deal, much like the total price paid when buying a house, covering both the purchase price and any additional costs or benefits. For investors, understanding total consideration helps assess the true scale and value of a transaction.
accrued coupon payment financial
"The Total Consideration does not include the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment..."
An accrued coupon payment is the interest earned on a bond that has accumulated since the last payment date but has not yet been paid to the investor. Think of it like interest building up in a savings account that will be paid out later; it reflects the amount the investor is owed for holding the bond during that period. This figure matters because it helps accurately determine the bond’s current value and the investor’s true earnings.
letter of transmittal financial
"Such Certificated Notes may only be tendered in accordance with the terms..."
A letter of transmittal is a written form investors use when sending physical stock certificates or electronic ownership documents to a company or its agent to surrender shares, tender them in an offer, or claim payment or replacement securities. It acts like a packing slip that lists what is enclosed, gives instructions on how the transfer should be handled, and provides proof of the transaction—important for ensuring investors receive the correct payment or new securities without delay or dispute.

(1)See Annex A of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement for a list of original issuer names, as applicable.
(2)The Total Consideration for each series of Notes is based on the fixed spread for the applicable series of Notes plus the yield of the specified Reference U.S. Treasury Security for that series as of the Price Determination Date. See “Description of the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations—Determination of Consideration” in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. The Total Consideration does not include the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), which will be payable in cash in addition to the applicable Total Consideration. There is no separate consent payment for the Consent Solicitations.
(3)The “Offer Yield” is equal to the sum of (a) the yield, as calculated by the lead dealer managers, that equates to the bid-side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the tables above for such series of Notes appearing at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), today, June 2, 2026 on the Bloomberg Reference Page specified in Verizon’s press release announcing the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations, dated May 11, 2026 (the “Launch Press Release”), for such series of Notes, plus (b) the Fixed Spread specified in the tables above for such series of Notes.
(4)Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 1, 2026 and accepted for purchase.
*   Denotes a series of 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 Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement herein shall also include the Letter of Transmittal.


Verizon’s obligation to accept Notes (and, with respect to the Any and All Notes, the related consents) tendered in the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations is subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer Documents, as amended, including with respect to the Waterfall Tender Offers (i) the Acceptance Priority Procedures (as described in the Launch Press Release) and (ii) a cap of an amount sufficient to accept for purchase all of the Waterfall Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date on the total cash Verizon pays to purchase Waterfall Notes under the Waterfall Tender Offers (excluding the applicable Accrued Coupon Payments). The Total Consideration or Tender Consideration that will be paid on the Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, as amended) for each series of Notes accepted for purchase does not include the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment, which will be paid, in cash, in addition to the Total Consideration or Tender Consideration, as applicable. Because the Total Consideration to be paid for the Waterfall Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date will be equal to the increased Waterfall Cap, no Waterfall Notes tendered after the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date will be accepted for purchase.

Verizon has retained Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to act as lead dealer managers and lead solicitation agents for the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations and BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp., Intesa Sanpaolo IMI Securities Corp. and NatWest Markets Securities Inc. as co-dealer managers and co-solicitation agents for the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations.

You may also contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations.

If Verizon terminates any Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation with respect to one or more series of Notes, it will give prompt notice to the Tender Agent or Information Agent, as applicable, and all Notes tendered pursuant to such terminated Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will be returned promptly to the tendering Holders thereof. With effect from such termination, any Notes blocked in DTC will be released.

The deadlines set by any such intermediary and DTC for the submission and withdrawal of tender instructions may be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offer Documents.
