| (1) | See Annex A of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement for a list of original issuer names, as applicable. |
| (2) | The Total Consideration for each series of Notes is based on the fixed spread for the applicable series of Notes plus the yield of the specified Reference U.S. Treasury Security for that series as of the Price Determination Date. See “Description of the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations—Determination of Consideration” in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. The Total Consideration does not include the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), which will be payable in cash in addition to the applicable Total Consideration. There is no separate consent payment for the Consent Solicitations. |
| (3) | The “Offer Yield” is equal to the sum of (a) the yield, as calculated by the lead dealer managers, that equates to the bid-side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the tables above for such series of Notes appearing at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), today, June 2, 2026 on the Bloomberg Reference Page specified in Verizon’s press release announcing the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations, dated May 11, 2026 (the “Launch Press Release”), for such series of Notes, plus (b) the Fixed Spread specified in the tables above for such series of Notes. |
| (4) | Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 1, 2026 and accepted for purchase.
* Denotes a series of Notes, a portion of which is held in physical certificated form (such portion, the “Certificated Notes”) and is not held through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Such Certificated Notes may only be tendered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. With respect to the Certificated Notes, all references to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement herein shall also include the Letter of Transmittal. |
Verizon’s obligation to accept Notes (and, with respect to the Any and All Notes, the related consents) tendered in the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations is subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer Documents, as amended, including with respect to the Waterfall Tender Offers (i) the Acceptance Priority Procedures (as described in the Launch Press Release) and (ii) a cap of an amount sufficient to accept for purchase all of the Waterfall Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date on the total cash Verizon pays to purchase Waterfall Notes under the Waterfall Tender Offers (excluding the applicable Accrued Coupon Payments). The Total Consideration or Tender Consideration that will be paid on the Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, as amended) for each series of Notes accepted for purchase does not include the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment, which will be paid, in cash, in addition to the Total Consideration or Tender Consideration, as applicable. Because the Total Consideration to be paid for the Waterfall Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date will be equal to the increased Waterfall Cap, no Waterfall Notes tendered after the Waterfall Notes Early Participation Date will be accepted for purchase.

LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to act as lead dealer managers and lead solicitation agents for the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations and BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp., Intesa Sanpaolo IMI Securities Corp. and NatWest Markets Securities Inc. as co-dealer managers and co-solicitation agents for the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations.

With effect from such termination, any Notes blocked in DTC will be released.

The deadlines set by any such intermediary and DTC for the submission and withdrawal of tender instructions may be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offer Documents.
