<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><I>New Agreement with Creditors to Provide Company with Significant Financial Flexibility </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DENVER, January&nbsp;25, 2024 &#151; Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LUMN) (&#147;Lumen&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) today announced that it has entered
into an amended and restated transaction support agreement (the &#147;TSA&#148;) with a broadened group of creditors who now represent, in the aggregate, over $12.5&nbsp;billion of the outstanding indebtedness and commitments of the Company and its
subsidiaries and represent over 70% in the aggregate of Lumen and Level&nbsp;3 debt maturing through 2027. The amended TSA announced today is supported by a significantly larger group of creditors across more of Lumen&#146;s capital structure than
the agreement previously announced on October&nbsp;31, 2023. The TSA will, among other things, extend debt maturities to primarily 2029 and beyond, provide $1.325&nbsp;billion of financing to the Company through new long-term debt and provide access
to a new revolving credit facility in an amount expected to be approximately $1&nbsp;billion. Lumen expects to complete the transactions contemplated by the TSA in the first quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of limited remaining closing
conditions. The broad support across the Company&#146;s capital structure demonstrates creditors&#146; and stakeholders&#146; conviction in Lumen&#146;s turnaround plan and growth strategy. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This agreement represents another positive step forward in the Lumen turnaround story and creates substantial runway for the Company to achieve its
financial and capital structure goals. The TSA transactions, when completed, will provide Lumen significant flexibility as we continue to execute on our transformation journey of disrupting telecom,&#148; commented Kate Johnson, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Lumen. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lumen plans to make certain term loan transactions available to all holders in connection with the consummation of such
transactions. The transactions related to certain notes of the Company and Level&nbsp;3 will be executed on a privately negotiated basis under Section&nbsp;4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;). The
Company does not plan to make such transactions available to all holders in connection with the consummation of such transactions. Following consummation of the TSA transactions, Lumen may assess potential
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">follow-on</FONT> transactions with respect to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-participating</FONT> debt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional
information can be found in the Company&#146;s Current Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed with the SEC today and available on Lumen&#146;s investor relations website at https://ir.lumen.com. </P>
