Lumen Technologies Announces Transfer of Listing to Nasdaq

What Happened
Lumen Technologies, Inc. filed a Form 8-K on September 25, 2026 notifying the NYSE of its board‑authorized, voluntary delisting of its common stock (no par value) and associated preferred stock purchase rights, and the 6.500% Notes due 2051 and 6.750% Notes due 2052 issued by Qwest Corporation (guaranteed by Lumen). The boards of Lumen and Qwest approved transferring the listings to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Securities were approved for listing on Nasdaq, with trading expected to move after the close of NYSE on October 5, 2026 and begin on Nasdaq at the open on October 6, 2026.

Key Details

• Filing date: September 25, 2026 (Form 8-K, Items 3.01 and 7.01).
• Securities affected: Lumen common stock (no par value) and associated preferred stock purchase rights; Qwest-issued 6.500% Notes due 2051 and 6.750% Notes due 2052.
• Nasdaq ticker expectations: common stock to continue under "LUMN"; the notes to trade under "CTGG" and "CTHH."
• Timing: expected NYSE delisting at close of trading on October 5, 2026; Nasdaq listing effective at market open on October 6, 2026.
• The company issued a press release on September 25, 2026 announcing the transfer (furnished as Exhibit 99.1).

Why It Matters
This is a voluntary change of trading venue—investors should note the market where Lumen shares and the specified notes will trade starting October 6, 2026. According to the filing, the securities are approved for Nasdaq and are expected to keep their listed symbols, so holders will continue to own the same securities but their trades will be routed and executed on Nasdaq rather than the NYSE. The filing provides formal notice of the transfer and the press release is available for additional context.
