Repayment of Alltel Debt and New Borrowings

On December 19, 2008, Verizon Wireless and Verizon Wireless Capital LLC, as the borrowers, entered into the $17.0 billion credit facility (Bridge Facility) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. On December 31, 2008, the Bridge Facility was reduced to $12.5 billion. As of December 31, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

On January 9, 2009, immediately prior to the closing of the Alltel acquisition, we borrowed $12,350 million under the Bridge Facility in order to complete the acquisition of Alltel and repay certain of Alltel’s outstanding debt. The remaining commitments under the Bridge Facility were terminated. The Bridge Facility has a maturity date of January 8, 2010. Interest on borrowings under the Bridge Facility is calculated based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for the applicable period, the level of borrowings on specified dates and a margin that is determined by reference to our long-term credit rating issued by S&P. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount under the Bridge Facility is greater than $6.0 billion on July 8th, 2009 (the 180th day after the closing of the Alltel acquisition), we are required to repay $3.0 billion on that date (less the amount of specified mandatory or optional prepayments that have been made as of that date). The Bridge Facility includes a requirement to maintain a certain leverage ratio. We are required to prepay indebtedness under the Bridge Facility with the net cash proceeds of specified asset sales, issuances and sales of equity and incurrences of borrowed money indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions.

On February 4, 2009, Verizon Wireless and Verizon Wireless Capital LLC co-issued a private placement of $3,500 million of 5.55% notes due 2014 and $750 million of 5.25% notes due 2012, resulting in cash proceeds of $4,211 million, net of discounts and issuance costs. The net proceeds from the sale of these notes were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Bridge Facility.

After the completion of the Alltel acquisition and repayments of Alltel debt, including repayments completed through January 28, 2009, approximately $2.5 billion of Alltel debt that is owed to third parties remained outstanding.
