Summary

Verizon exchange-offer and consent-solicitation results. Verizon accepted all validly tendered notes across 11 series, with settlement scheduled for 6/22/2026. The exchange offers were separate from cash tender offers covering 20 series and were not conditioned on them.

  • Requisite consents were received for amendments to six series due 2028–2032, including elimination of certain restrictive covenants and other provisions. Verizon said all exchange-offer conditions were satisfied or waived; total consideration, including the early participation payment and separate cash consent payment, is payable on 6/22/2026. Verizon will enter into a registration rights agreement for the new notes on that date.
