*     Less than one percent (1%).

(1)   Assumes conversion of all of the notes at a conversion rate of 7.9318
      shares of the common stock of Verizon Communications per $1,000
      principal amount at maturity of the notes. This conversion rate is
      subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of
      Notes and Support Obligations - Conversion Rights" in the Prospectus.
      As a result, the number of shares of the common stock of Verizon
      Communications issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or
      decrease in the future.

(2)   Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934, using 2,751,650,484 shares of common stock of Verizon
      Communications outstanding as of January 31, 2002. In calculating
      this amount for each selling securityholder, we treated as outstanding
      the number of shares of the common stock of Verizon Communications
      issuable upon conversion of all of the selling securityholder's notes,
      but we did not assume conversion of any other selling securityholder's
      notes.
