Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 13, 2026, T. Michael Glenn, Chair of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Lumen Technologies, Inc. ("Lumen") and a member of the Board's Human Resources and Compensation Committee, and Hal Stanley Jones, Chair of the Board's Audit Committee and a member of the Board's Risk and Security Committee, informed the Board of their intention to retire from the Board and not stand for 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 re-election were not the result of any disagreement with Lumen.

The Board has elected General Kevin P. Chilton (USAF, Ret.), a member of the Board since 2017, to serve as the next Chair of the Board, effective immediately following the 2026 Annual Meeting and contingent on his election to the Board. 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.

In connection with this appointment, Kathleen Johnson, who currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer, will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer but will no longer hold the title of President, effective as of March 13, 2026.
