described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the risk factors set forth in the documents and reports filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying
prospectus. Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows can be impacted by these factors, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results. </I></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We intend to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the notes specifically to one or more new or existing Eligible Green
Investments (as defined herein), but no assurance can be given that any such Eligible Green Investments will be capable of being implemented in, or substantially in, such manner as is originally contemplated and/or accordance with any timing
schedule, or that such Eligible Green Investments will be completed within any specified period or at all or with the results or outcome (whether or not related to the environment) as we originally expected or anticipated. We have significant
flexibility in allocating the net proceeds of the notes and there can be no assurance that the net proceeds will be totally or partially disbursed for any such Eligible Green Investments. Moreover, in the event that a project is divested, cannot be
completed or no longer meets the criteria for being an Eligible Green Investment, there is no assurance that there will be available another Eligible Green Investment to which we can reallocate the proceeds or that any such reallocation will occur
within a timeframe that an investor believes is reasonable. None of the underwriters for this offering are responsible for assessing or verifying whether or not the Eligible Green Investments to which we allocate the net proceeds of the notes meet
the criteria described in &#147;Use of Proceeds,&#148; or for the monitoring of the use of proceeds. Neither the terms of the notes nor the indenture require us to use the proceeds as described under &#147;Use of Proceeds&#148; and any failure by us
to comply with the anticipated use of proceeds will not constitute a breach of or an event of default under the notes or the indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prospective investors should carefully review the information set out in this prospectus supplement regarding such use of the net proceeds and
must determine for themselves the relevance of such information for the purpose of any investment in the notes together with any other investigation such investor deems necessary. In particular, no assurance is given by Verizon or any underwriter of
the notes that the use of such net proceeds to fund any Eligible Green Investments will satisfy (or will continue to satisfy), whether in whole or in part, any present or future investor expectations or requirements, taxonomies or standards or other
investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or its investments are required to comply, whether by any present or future applicable laws or regulations or by its own by-laws or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates,
ratings mandates or criteria, taxonomies, or standards, or other independent expectations, in particular with regard to any direct or indirect environmental, sustainability or social impact of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to, any
Eligible Green Investments. Any failure by us to allocate the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to one or more Eligible Green Investments or the failure of those investments or financings to satisfy investor expectations or requirements could
have a material adverse effect on the market price of the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Eligible Green Investments to which we may allocate the net proceeds
from the notes may have complex direct or indirect environmental, sustainability, or social impacts, and adverse environmental or social impacts may occur during the design, construction, and operation of the projects. In addition, projects may
become controversial or criticized by activist groups or other stakeholders, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of the notes. </P>

no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant

on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally
distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If
there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States
Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the calculation date. In
determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
notes by U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) that purchase the notes at their issue price (generally the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold, excluding sales to bond houses, brokers or similar persons
or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) pursuant to this offering and hold such notes as capital assets. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
&#147;Code&#148;), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect,
or to different interpretation. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to specific Holders (as defined below) in light of their particular circumstances or to Holders subject to
special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as banks, insurance companies, dealers in securities or other Holders that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement
plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, Holders that hold a note as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated transaction, U.S. Holders that
have a &#147;functional currency&#148; other than the U.S. dollar, or partnerships (or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or partners therein). This discussion does not address any U.S. state
or local or non-U.S. tax considerations, any U.S. federal estate, gift, alternative minimum tax or Medicare tax on net investment income considerations or consequences arising under special timing rules prescribed under section 451(b) of the Code.

purposes, is (i)&nbsp;an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii)&nbsp;a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii)&nbsp;an estate the
income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv)&nbsp;a trust with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons
have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or that has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. </P>

partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the term &#147;Holder&#148; means a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If an entity
treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes invests in a note, the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to such investment will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any
such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to it and its partners relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of a note. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">EACH PERSON CONSIDERING AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S.

such U.S. Holder&#146;s income, will be taxable as interest income to such U.S. Holder) and such U.S. Holder&#146;s &#147;adjusted tax basis&#148; in such note. A U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in a note generally will be equal to the amount
that the U.S. Holder paid for the note. Any gain or loss so recognized generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. Holder has held such note for more than one year at the time of such sale,
exchange, retirement or other disposition. Net long-term capital gain of certain non-corporate U.S. Holders generally is subject to preferential rates of tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. </P>

this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance by the underwriters and subject to the underwriters&#146; right to reject
any order in whole or in part. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the notes if they purchase any of the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
underwriters propose to offer the notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and some of such notes to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to
exceed&nbsp;0.250% of the principal amount of the notes. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed&nbsp;0.150% of the principal amount of the notes on sales to other dealers. After the initial offering of the
notes to the public, the underwriters may change the public offering price and other selling terms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will pay an underwriting discount
of&nbsp;0.400% (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the notes) in connection with this offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will
constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a
market in the notes. However, they are not obligated to do so and they may discontinue market-making activities with respect to the notes at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of, or the trading market
for, the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with this offering, the underwriters may over-allot notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting
the market price of the notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the underwriters will undertake any stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the notes is made, and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant notes and 60 days after the date of
the allotment of the relevant notes. Any stabilization action or overallotment must be conducted by the underwriters in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Over-allotment involves syndicate sales of the notes in excess of the principal amount of notes to be purchased by the underwriters in the
offering, which creates a syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions
consist of certain bids or purchases of notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while the offering is in progress. </P>

reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the underwriters, in covering syndicate short positions or making stabilizing purchases, repurchase notes originally sold by that syndicate member. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. They may also cause the
price of the notes to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters
commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We estimate that our total expenses for this offering (not

engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In addition, certain underwriters or their affiliates may provide credit to us

hedge and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by
entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could
adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt
and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve our securities or
instruments. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients
that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments. In addition, certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates purchase telecommunications services from us in the ordinary course of business. </P>

statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated, including those discussed under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148;
contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Potential investors and other
readers are urged to consider these risks and uncertainties carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this
prospectus are made only as of the date of this prospectus, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, the forward-looking events might or might not occur. We cannot assure you that projected results or events will be achieved. </P>
