Level 3 Financing plans to use the net proceeds, along with cash on hand, to redeem all $373 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.750% First Lien Notes due 2030, including payment of redemption premium and related expenses. The offering is expected to complete on September 8, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
