Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 3, 2022, Lumen Technologies, Inc. (“Lumen” or the “Company”) and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “Sellers”) completed the previously disclosed sale of Sellers’ facilities-based incumbent local exchange business primarily conducted within 20 Midwestern and Southeastern states (the “Sale”) to Connect Holding LLC and its affiliates (who conduct business under the brand “Brightspeed”), which are affiliates of funds advised by Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“Purchaser”). In exchange, Lumen received $7.5 billion of consideration, which was reduced by approximately $0.4 billion of closing adjustments and partially paid through Purchaser’s assumption of approximately $1.5 billion of Lumen’s long-term consolidated indebtedness, resulting in pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $5.6 billion. This consideration is further subject to certain post-closing adjustments and indemnities set forth in the purchase agreement dated as of August 3, 2021 between Sellers and Purchaser (the “Purchase Agreement”), as amended and supplemented to date.

Effective at the closing of the Sale, affiliates of Purchaser and Sellers entered into various commercial agreements designed to permit, among other things, the parties to continue to serve their respective customers.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

In preparation for consummating the Sale, Lumen contributed approximately $319 million to the spinoff pension plan transferred to Purchaser in connection with the Sale, which supplemented the previously disclosed transfers of pension benefit obligations and assets from Lumen’s pension plan to the same spinoff plan.

Additional information about the Sale is contained in Lumen’s press release issued on October 3, 2022, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 9.01
