(&#8220;Lumen,&#8221; &#8220;us,&#8221; &#8220;we&#8221; or &#8220;our&#8221;) issued a press release announcing that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Level&#160;3 Financing, Inc. (&#8220;Level&#160;3 Financing&#8221;), planned to offer $750&#160;million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2036 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;) in a proposed private offering that would not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;). Concurrently with the commencement of the offering, Level&#160;3 Financing announced the commencement of cash tender offers (each, a &#8220;Tender Offer&#8221;) to purchase the outstanding notes described below, pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in, an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, as supplemented (the &#8220;Offer to Purchase&#8221;). The notes offered to be purchased in the Tender Offers, listed in the order of priority, are Level&#160;3 Financing&#8217;s (1) 4.000% Second Lien Notes due 2031, (2) 3.875% Second Lien Notes due 2030, (3) 4.500% Second Lien Notes due 2030, and (4) 4.875% Second Lien Notes due 2029 (collectively, the &#8220;Existing Second Lien Notes&#8221;) up to an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of $1.0&#160;billion (the &#8220;Aggregate Purchase Price&#8221;). In connection with the Tender Offers, Level&#160;3 Financing also announced the commencement of the solicitation of consents (the &#8220;Consent Solicitations&#8221;) to amend the indentures governing each series of Existing Second Lien Notes to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and release all of the collateral securing the obligations of Level&#160;3 Financing and the guarantors under the applicable indenture governing such series of Existing Second Lien Notes. Consents to the Collateral Release will not become operative with respect to any series of the Existing Second Lien Notes if the acceptance of such series is prorated in the applicable Tender Offer. That press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full. The offering is expected to be completed on December&#160;23, 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. </div><div style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December&#160;8, Lumen issued a subsequent press release announcing the pricing of $1.25&#160;billion of the Notes in a private offering that would not be registered under the Securities Act, which represents a $500&#160;million increase from the previously announced size of the offering. Level&#160;3 Financing intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand or other available liquidity, if necessary, to purchase its Existing Second Lien Notes pursuant the Tender Offers and to pay related fees and expenses. The Aggregate Purchase Price is increased to $1.5&#160;billion from the previously announced amount of $1.0&#160;billion. Level&#160;3 Financing has correspondingly increased the minimum gross proceeds required from one or more debt financings to satisfy the financing condition set forth in the Offer to Purchase to $1.25&#160;billion, from the previously announced amount of $750&#160;million. To the extent any remaining proceeds are not applied to purchase the Existing Second Lien Notes in the Tender Offers or to pay related fees and expenses, Level&#160;3 Financing intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

&#8220;we&#8221; or &#8220;our&#8221;) (NYSE: LUMN) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Level&nbsp;3 Financing, Inc. (&#8220;Level&nbsp;3 Financing&#8221;), plans to offer $750&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of its Senior
Notes due 2036 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;) and commence concurrent cash tender offers (the &#8220;Tender Offers&#8221; and each, a &#8220;Tender Offer&#8221;) to purchase the outstanding notes described below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level&nbsp;3 Financing intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with, if necessary, cash on hand or other available liquidity, to purchase
its Existing Second Lien Notes (as defined below) pursuant to the Tender Offers and to pay related fees and expenses. To the extent not applied to purchase the Existing Second Lien Notes in the Tender Offers and to pay related fees and expenses,
Level&nbsp;3 Financing intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Existing Second Lien Notes to be purchased in the Tender
Offers, listed in the order of priority, are Level&nbsp;3 Financing&#8217;s (1) 4.000% Second Lien Notes due 2031, (2) 3.875% Second Lien Notes due 2030, (3) 4.500% Second Lien Notes due 2030, and (4) 4.875% Second Lien Notes due 2029 (collectively,
the &#8220;Existing Second Lien Notes&#8221;) up to an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest (&#8220;Accrued Interest&#8221;), of $1.0&nbsp;billion (the &#8220;Aggregate Purchase Price&#8221;). Level&nbsp;3 Financing may,
but is under no obligation to, increase the Aggregate Purchase Price (including based on the proceeds it receives from the sale of the Notes). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
connection with the Tender Offers, Level&nbsp;3 Financing also intends to commence the solicitation of consents (the &#8220;Consent Solicitations&#8221;) to amend the indentures governing each series of Existing Second Lien Notes to, among other
things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and release all of the collateral securing the obligations of Level&nbsp;3 Financing and the guarantors under the applicable indenture governing such
series of Existing Second Lien Notes. Consents will not become operative with respect to any series of the Existing Second Lien Notes if the acceptance of such series is prorated in the applicable Tender Offer. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in a separate Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents dated Dec.
8, 2025 (the &#8220;Statement&#8221;). The Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations will expire at 5 p.m. EST on Jan. 7, 2026 (the &#8220;Expiration Date&#8221;), unless extended, earlier expired or terminated. Holders of the Existing Second Lien
Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Existing Second Lien Notes (which valid tender constitutes the valid delivery of consents in the Consent Solicitation with respect to such Existing Second Lien Notes) at or prior to 5 p.m. EST
on Dec. 19, 2025 (the &#8220;Early Tender Deadline&#8221;) in order to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes the applicable Early Tender Premium, as set forth in the table below. Holders who validly tender their
Existing Second Lien Notes after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive only the applicable tender consideration. </P>

Announced Debt Tender Offers </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>DENVER, Dec. 8, 2025 </B>&#8212; <U>Lumen Technologies, Inc.</U> (&#8220;Lumen,&#8221; &#8220;us,&#8221;
&#8220;we&#8221; or &#8220;our&#8221;) (NYSE: LUMN) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Level&nbsp;3 Financing, Inc. (&#8220;Level&nbsp;3 Financing&#8221;), has agreed to sell $1.25&nbsp;billion aggregate principal amount of its 8.500%
Senior Notes due 2036 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;), which represents a $500&nbsp;million increase from the previously announced size of the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Notes were priced to investors at a price of 100.000% of their aggregate principal amount and will mature on January&nbsp;15, 2036. Upon issuance, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsubordinated
and unsecured basis by Level&nbsp;3 Parent, LLC, the direct parent of Level&nbsp;3 Financing, and certain unregulated subsidiaries of Level&nbsp;3 Financing. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level&nbsp;3 Financing intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand or other available liquidity, if necessary, to purchase
its Existing Second Lien Notes (as defined below) pursuant to the Tender Offers (as defined below) and to pay related fees and expenses. To the extent not applied to purchase the Existing Second Lien Notes in the Tender Offers and to pay related
fees and expenses, Level&nbsp;3 Financing intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The offering of the Notes is expected to be completed on Dec. 23, 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Concurrently with the offering, Level&nbsp;3 is conducting cash tender offers (the &#8220;Tender Offers&#8221; and each, a &#8220;Tender Offer&#8221;) to
purchase the outstanding notes described below, pursuant to and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, as supplemented (the &#8220;Statement&#8221;). The notes offered to be
purchased in the Tender Offers, listed in the order of priority, are the (1) 4.000% Second Lien Notes due 2031, (2) 3.875% Second Lien Notes due 2030, (3) 4.500% Second Lien Notes due 2030, and (4) 4.875% Second Lien Notes due 2029 (collectively,
the &#8220;Existing Second Lien Notes&#8221;) up to an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of $1.5&nbsp;billion (the &#8220;Aggregate Purchase Price&#8221;). The Aggregate Purchase Price represents an increase in the
previously announced amount of $1.0&nbsp;billion. Level&nbsp;3 Financing has correspondingly increased the minimum gross proceeds required from one or more debt financings to satisfy the financing condition set forth in the Offer to Purchase to
$1.25&nbsp;billion, from the previously announced amount of $750&nbsp;million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), or any state securities laws in the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the applicable registration requirements. Accordingly, the
