Lumen Technologies announces pricing of Senior Notes

DENVER, June 2, 2021 — Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) announced that it has agreed to sell $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its unsecured 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) pursuant to the private offering announced earlier today.

The 2029 Notes were priced to investors at par and will mature on June 15, 2029.

Lumen plans to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, for general corporate purposes, including reducing its indebtedness by repaying at maturity its outstanding 6.45% Senior Notes, Series S, due 2021. The offering is expected to be completed on June 15, 2021, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

The 2029 Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws in the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the applicable registration requirements. Accordingly, the 2029 Notes are being offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The 2029 Notes will not have registration rights.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, the 2029 Notes, nor will there be any sale of the 2029 Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
