Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 26, 2014, Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) published a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relating to the admission of 2,744,993,638 outstanding shares of Verizon common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”) to the standard segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the “Official List”) and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange (the “Main Market”). Application has been made for the Shares to be admitted to the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market, which is expected to take place at 8:00 am GMT on December 1, 2014.
The Prospectus does not relate to the issue of any new shares of Verizon common stock, but is an administrative step undertaken to perfect the admission of existing shares of common stock that have already been issued to listing on the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market.
The Prospectus is available at http://www.verizon.com/about/investor-information.
