Welcome to our dedicated page for VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS SEC filings (Ticker: VZ), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Verizon Communications Inc. filings document material events for a large telecommunications issuer with common stock and numerous registered debt securities. Recent Form 8-K reports cover earnings releases, capital markets activity, tender offers, exchange offers and consent solicitations involving Verizon and subsidiary notes, including fixed-rate and junior subordinated securities with maturities across multiple years.
Proxy materials describe shareholder voting matters, board governance, executive compensation and other annual-meeting disclosures. The filing record also identifies securities registered on national exchanges and provides formal reporting around Verizon's operating results, capital structure, exchange-listed securities and governance disclosures tied to its wireless, broadband, enterprise connectivity and network infrastructure businesses.
Verizon Communications Inc. has launched private exchange offers and related consent solicitations for 11 series of outstanding subsidiary notes. Eligible institutional investors can swap these “Old Notes” for new Verizon-issued notes with the same maturity, interest rate and payment dates, subject to the detailed terms in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Statement.
Verizon is also running separate cash tender offers for 20 note series, including the Old Notes, alongside the exchange offers. Holders who tender by June 1, 2026 receive total consideration that includes $50 in principal amount of New Notes plus a $1 cash consent payment per $1,000 of Old Notes, while later tenders before June 16, 2026 forgo these incentives. Settlement is expected around June 22, 2026 for accepted tenders.
Verizon Communications Inc. is offering two series of junior subordinated notes: fixed-to-fixed rate notes due 2058 and 2056.
