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.

Verizon Communications Inc. is issuing $2,000,000,000 of 6.600% fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes due 2059 and $1,750,000,000 of 6.750% fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes due 2057. Both series pay semi-annual interest and feature rate resets every five years after their first reset dates, tied to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus stated spreads and step-ups.
The notes are unsecured junior subordinated obligations, ranking below all Verizon senior indebtedness, which totaled $141.1 billion on an unconsolidated basis as of June 30, 2026, and are structurally subordinated to approximately $26.5 billion of subsidiary indebtedness. Verizon may defer interest payments on either series for up to 10 consecutive years per deferral period, with deferred interest compounding at the then-applicable rate. The company may redeem the notes at par during specified par call periods, at a make-whole price otherwise, and at defined premiums or par upon certain tax or rating agency events. No exchange listing is planned. Estimated net proceeds of about $3,716,021,000 will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of outstanding debt.
Verizon Communications Inc. plans a primary offering of two series of fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes maturing in 2057 and 2059. Both series pay semi-annual interest and switch after an initial fixed-rate period to a rate reset every five years tied to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus a stated spread, with step-ups for the 2059 notes in later years.
The notes are junior subordinated obligations of Verizon, ranking behind all existing and future senior indebtedness and structurally behind liabilities of subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026, Verizon had $141.1 billion of senior indebtedness on an unconsolidated basis, and its subsidiaries and other consolidated entities had about $26.5 billion of indebtedness, including $26.3 billion of secured debt. The indenture does not limit the amount of additional senior or subordinated debt that may be issued.
Verizon may defer interest payments on either series for up to 10 consecutive years per deferral, with deferred interest compounding at the then-current rate and tax income potentially accruing to holders before cash is received. The company also has broad redemption rights, including make-whole and par calls, and the ability to redeem upon a Tax Event or Rating Agency Event. Net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of outstanding indebtedness.
