Verizon Communications Inc. launched five separate cash tender offers for outstanding notes on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The company said in its announcement that the combined purchase price will be capped at USD 500 million.

The offers cover notes maturing in 2028, 2030, 2040, 2060 and 2061. Verizon will use a waterfall structure, accepting valid tenders according to five priority levels rather than applying a single pro-rata allocation across all series. The company may accept a lower-priority series only after addressing higher-priority offers under the stated terms.

Priority Structure Limits Acceptance

The three longest-dated series are subject to a combined USD 155 million sub-cap. They are the 3.000% notes due November 20, 2060, the 3.700% notes due March 22, 2061 and the 2.650% notes due November 20, 2040. The remaining offers cover 2.100% notes due March 22, 2028 and 3.150% notes due March 22, 2030.

If tenders exceed the applicable limits, Verizon will work through the priority levels in order. The terms allow the company to reject a series or accept it only on a prorated basis. The purchase consideration will be calculated using the relevant U.S. Treasury yield on the price determination date plus a fixed spread for each note series. Accrued and unpaid interest will be paid separately through, but excluding, settlement.

November Deadline Drives Next Step

The offers expire at 5:00 p.m. New York time on Wednesday, November 4, unless Verizon extends or terminates them earlier. Holders may withdraw tenders up to the same deadline. Verizon expects to settle accepted notes on November 9, the third business day after expiration, provided the offer conditions are satisfied or waived.

The company plans to announce the final offer yields and purchase consideration after 2:00 p.m. New York time on November 4. It also expects to disclose the principal amount accepted in each series and any proration factor by 10:00 a.m. on the following business day.

For shareholders, the transaction is a debt-management measure rather than a change to the terms of Verizon common stock. The final cash outlay and the amount of notes retired will depend on investor participation, the priority rules and the applicable Treasury yields. The tender therefore gives Verizon a defined mechanism for managing selected maturities, but the announcement does not state the final purchase prices.

The real-time quote of Verizon Communications stock was 39.56 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 12:10 Berlin time on Friday, October 30, 2026.
