<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>MONROE, La. &#133;</B> CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Qwest Corporation, will seek to extend the
average maturity and reduce the average weighted interest rate of Qwest&#146;s consolidated debt through the combination of a debt tender offer and a concurrent public offering of Qwest&#146;s senior debt securities (the &#147;Debt Offering&#148;).

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April&nbsp;17, 2012 (such date and time, as may be extended, the

determined as described in the Offer to Purchase dated March&nbsp;21, 2012 (the &#147;Offer to Purchase&#148;) based on the present value of future payments on the applicable series of Notes discounted to the anticipated settlement date at a
discount rate equal to the sum of the yield to maturity for the applicable reference security, based on the bid-side price of that reference security at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on April&nbsp;3, 2012, plus the applicable fixed spread, minus
accrued interest up to the anticipated settlement date. Holders of Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase will receive the Full Tender Offer Consideration minus
the amount in cash listed in the table below under the heading &#147;Early Tender Payment,&#148; which will be payable on the settlement date. In addition, payments for Notes purchased will include accrued interest up to the settlement date. The
