Additional 402(v) Disclosure | The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table Total with certain adjustments as described in footnote 3 below. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Communication Services Sector Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph appearing herein under the heading “Other Items-Lumen Performance History”. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P 500 Communication Services Sector Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. | |||||

Name | Adjusted EBITDA | |||||
Non-GAAP Measure Description | We determined Adjusted EBITDA to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO 2 and Non-PEO NEOs in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA measures the operational performance and profitability of our businesses, and we use this measure in our compensation programs to incentivize and reward our senior officers to focus on the combination of cost savings and profitable revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA, which is described in further detail in Appendix A – Non-GAAP Reconciliations, is a non-GAAP metric. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. | |||||
