(1) Assumes conversion of all of the notes at a conversion rate of 7.9318
    shares of the common stock of Verizon Communications per $1,000 principal
    amount at maturity of the notes. This conversion rate is subject to
    adjustment, however, as described under "Description of Notes and Support
    Obligations - Conversion Rights" in the Prospectus. As a result, the number
    of shares of the common stock of Verizon Communications issuable upon
    conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of
    1934, using 2,751,650,484 shares of common stock of Verizon Communications
    outstanding as of March 31, 2002. In calculating this amount for each
    selling securityholder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of
    the common stock of Verizon Communications issuable upon conversion of all
    of the selling securityholder's notes, but we did not assume conversion of
    any other selling securityholder's notes.
