This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated January 5, 2007 (the “prospectus”) of Level 3 Communications, Inc. relating to the sale by certain holders of Broadwing Corporation’s 3.125% convertible senior debentures due 2026 and the shares of Level 3 common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures. You should read this prospectus supplement in conjunction with the prospectus, and this prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement supercedes the information contained in the prospectus.
The following table supplements or amends, as noted, the information contained in the table set forth in the prospectus under the caption “Selling Stockholders.” The table sets forth information with respect to the selling stockholders identified below and the principal amounts at maturity of beneficially owned by each selling stockholder identified below that may be offered under the prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may offer all, some or none of the common stock into which the convertible debentures have been converted. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or some portion of the common stock, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of any sales. In addition, since the date on which they provided the information regarding their common stock, the selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, no selling stockholder named in the table below beneficially owns one percent or more of our common stock.
