"Safe Harbor" Statement
This presentation contains statements about expected future events and financial results that are
forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties. For those statements, we claim the
protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following important factors could affect future results and
could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements: materially adverse changes in economic and industry conditions and labor matters,
including workforce levels and labor negotiations, and any resulting financial and/or operational
impact, in the markets served by us or by companies in which we have substantial investments;
material changes in available technology; technology substitution; an adverse change in the
ratings afforded our debt securities by nationally accredited ratings organizations; the final
results of federal and state regulatory proceedings concerning our provision of retail and
wholesale services and judicial review of those results; the effects of competition in our markets;
the timing, scope and financial impacts of our deployment of fiber-to-the-premises broadband
technology; the ability of Verizon Wireless to continue to obtain sufficient spectrum resources;
changes in our accounting assumptions that regulatory agencies, including the SEC, may
require or that result from changes in the accounting rules or their application, which could result
in an impact on earnings; a significant change in the timing of, or the imposition of any
government conditions to, the closing of our business combination transaction with MCI, Inc., if
consummated; actual and contingent liabilities in connection with the MCI transaction; and the
extent and timing of our ability to obtain revenue enhancements and cost savings following the
MCI transaction.
