Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote |  |  | ompensation Actually Paid reflects the exclusions and inclusions of certain amounts for the PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Amounts in the Exclusion of Stock Awards column are the totals from the Stock Awards column set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. Amounts in the Exclusion of Change in Pension Value column reflect the amounts, if any, attributable to the Change in Pension Value reported in the Summary Compensation Table. There are no amounts reported in the Inclusion of Pension Service Cost because with limited exceptions specified in the Pension Plans, we “froze” our defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2010, as described under the heading “ – Pension Benefits”.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure |  |  | The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table Total with certain adjustments as described in footnote 3 below.The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Communication Services Sector Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph appearing herein under the heading “Other Items-Lumen Performance History”. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P 500 Communication Services Sector Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. |  |  |

Name |  |  | Adjusted EBITDA |  |  |
Non-GAAP Measure Description |  |  | We determined Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO 2 and Non-PEO NEOs in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA measures the operational performance and profitability of our businesses, and we use this measure in our compensation programs to incentivize and reward our senior officers to focus on the combination of cost savings and profitable revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA, which is described in further detail in Appendix A – Non-GAAP Reconciliations, is a non-GAAP metric. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. |  |  |
