1 Verizon Political Engagement – January 1 – June 30, 2020

A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from broadband and spectrum policy to taxation and

more -- that have an enormous impact on our business. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to

advocate public policies that will enable us to create new services for our customers and compete fairly in the

marketplace.

Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and

participate in the policy dialogue.

Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18

states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources

to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees

advocate. Verizon also participates in trade associations that advocate on behalf of their

members. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support

for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during

the first six months of 2020. It also lists our Public Policy organization's significant

memberships in trade associations and issue advocacy organizations and provides a link to

our federal lobbying reports.

Our political activity is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which

receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually.

We update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency

with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further

sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

Craig L. Silliman

Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative, Legal and Public Policy Officer

Political Activity: Our Voice in the Democratic Process

VERIZON’S POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT Verizon participates in the policymaking process at the federal, state, and local levels in order to inform public officials of Verizon’s views on policy issues. Government policies can have a big impact on our business, whether they involve decisions on taxes, technology regulation, or consumer issues like protecting user privacy and stopping illegal robocalls. We participate in these conversations so that government decision makers understand how these policies could affect Verizon and our customers, employees, and shareholders. HOW WE ADVOCATE

Lobbying: As part of our advocacy, Verizon engages in lobbying at all levels of government. Verizon lobbies both through our own employees on our government affairs teams and through outside consultants. Verizon’s Public Policy and Government Affairs organization approves any engagement of lobbyists on behalf of Verizon. Verizon strictly complies with all lobbying laws, which require that we disclose our lobbying activities and the amount we spend on lobbying. As described below, we file public reports that outline our activities and expenses related to lobbying. Political Contributions: Verizon makes corporate political contributions where the law permits. The Verizon Legal Department reviews all corporate political contributions to ensure they are consistent with the company’s policy and strategy and that they comply with the law. Verizon also operates several political action committees (PACs) that support candidates at the federal, state and local levels who make decisions on policy issues that impact Verizon. All PAC contributions are overseen and approved by senior leaders in the Public Policy and Government Affairs organization. All contributions by Verizon and our PACs are made to promote the interests of the company, our shareholders and customers, and without regard to the personal political interests of Verizon executives. The criteria we use to support particular candidates depend on various factors, such as general alignment with our business objectives, whether the candidate sits on a committee that addresses legislation that is important to Verizon and our industry, a candidate’s committee standing and ranking, and their leadership position and track record on key strategic business and policy issues for Verizon. We support candidates of any political party who share our priorities, even if we do not agree with them on every issue. We make contributions to candidates for political office, and organizations that support candidates for office and ballot initiatives. We do not make corporate political contributions or PAC contributions to presidential candidates or federal

SuperPACs. Members of Verizon’s PAC boards also evaluate and approve the PAC budget and our giving to candidates to ensure that contributions to each candidate meet the criteria described above. Third Party Organizations: We also make our voice heard through participation in trade associations and by supporting advocacy organizations. Verizon supports these organizations for a variety of reasons, ranging from our interest in the community, to take advantage of industry expertise, or because they have common goals and interests on key strategic policy and business issues. We participate in these organizations despite the fact that we may not always agree with all of the positions of each organization or its other members. These groups often have a diversity of members, interests and viewpoints that may not always reflect Verizon’s beliefs or priorities. When we disagree with a position of an organization we support, we attempt to communicate our concerns through the senior executives that interact with these organizations. GOVERNANCE, TRANSPARENCY AND DISCLOSURE All of Verizon’s political activity is subject to the company’s Code of Conduct and other corporate policies. As outlined above, this activity is subject to the strict supervision of the Verizon Legal Department and Public Policy and Government Affairs organization. The Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of the Board of Directors also provides oversight of Verizon’s political activity, and policies regarding political activity, on an annual basis. Verizon knows that transparency regarding our political activity is critical to maintaining the trust of the company’s employees and shareholders, and the public. Here are some of the most significant ways we inform the public about our political activity:

• Twice a year, Verizon publishes on our website a report listing all of our corporate political contributions and PAC contributions. This report also discloses trade associations and tax exempt organizations (501(c)(4) and 501(c)(6) organizations) for which our Public Policy organization’s support exceeds $50,000 annually.

• Verizon’s political action committees file public disclosure reports with the Federal Election Commission and state and local campaign finance regulators, in accordance with applicable laws.

• Verizon files public reports with the U.S. Congress and

state and local lobbying regulatory bodies disclosing our lobbying activities. At the federal level, these reports (available at lobbyingdisclosure.house.gov) disclose Verizon’s lobbying activities and the amounts spent by Verizon on those activities.
