NEW YORK, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Communications Inc. ("Verizon") ((NYSE, NASDAQ:VZ) today announced that it amended the terms of its previously announced Tender Offers (as defined below) and Consent Solicitations (as defined below) to extend the early participation date until 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 16, 2026 (the "Any and All Notes Extended Early Participation Date"), with respect to its previously announced 11 separate offers, on behalf of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, to purchase for cash any and all of the debt securities listed in Table 1 below (the "Any and All Notes" and such offers, the "Any and All Tender Offers") as well as solicit consents (the "Consent Solicitations") to the proposed amendments to the indentures governing the Any and All Notes issued by such subsidiaries (the "Existing Indentures") in order to, among other things, eliminate certain of the restrictive covenants and other provisions contained therein on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 11, 2026 (the "Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement" and, together with the accompanying letter of transmittal, the "Offer Documents"). Accordingly, the Any and All Notes Extended Early Participation Date will occur at the same time the Any and All Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations are scheduled to expire. Holders of Any and All Notes who validly tender their Any and All Notes at or prior to the Any and All Notes Extended Early Participation Date and whose Any and All Notes are accepted by Verizon will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), which includes the Early Participation Payment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement).

Verizon today also announced that it will increase the Waterfall Cap (as defined below), with respect to its previously announced 9 separate offers, on behalf of itself and of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, from an aggregate purchase price (excluding the applicable Accrued Coupon Payments (as defined in Verizon's press release dated May 11, 2026)) of $1,250,000,000 of the outstanding series of debt securities listed in Table 2 below (the "Waterfall Notes" and, together with the Any and All Notes, the "Notes" and such offers, the "Waterfall Tender Offers" and, together with the Any and All Tender Offers, the "Tender Offers") that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date (as defined below) to a total aggregate purchase price that shall be in an amount sufficient to allow Verizon to purchase the full aggregate principal amount of all Waterfall Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date (approximately $1.4 billion) (the "Waterfall Cap"). The previously announced early participation date with respect to the Waterfall Notes was not modified by Verizon and remained 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 1, 2026. The deadline to validly withdraw tenders (and, with respect to the Any and All Notes, validly revoke the related consents) of Notes was not modified by Verizon, and expired with respect to all series of Notes at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 1, 2026.
