On March 13, 2026, T. Michael Glenn, Chair of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Lumen Technologies, Inc.

re-election
at Lumen’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”).
The decisions of Mr. Glenn and Mr. Jones to retire and not stand for

The Board thanks Mr. Glenn and Mr. Jones for their service and contributions.
On March 13, 2026, the Board appointed Christopher D. Stansbury to serve as Lumen’s President. Mr. Stansbury, age 60, has served as Lumen’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer since April 2022. Mr. Stansbury has global responsibility for financial planning, accounting, tax, treasury, investor relations, procurement and supply chain management. Mr. Stansbury previously served as the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Arrow Electronics, Inc., a publicly traded multinational provider of electronic components and enterprise computing products, from May 2016 through March 2022. Prior to that, Mr. Stansbury served as Vice President, Finance, and Chief Accounting Officer of Arrow Electronics, Inc. beginning in August 2014. Prior to joining Arrow Electronics, Inc., Mr. Stansbury held various positions within the finance departments of Hewlett-Packard, Inc. and PepsiCo, Inc.
