Verizon’s world-class network and purpose-driven, resilient culture have allowed our team to deliver in the way people have come to expect of us, even in unprecedented, challenging times. Good governance is an essential element of our long-term success, and we believe that good governance starts with an independent, effective and diverse Board. We believe we are more likely to achieve sustainable growth in shareholder value when our Board has the right mix of skills, expertise and tenure. To that end, the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee is strategic and purposeful in its approach to refreshment and succession planning, carefully considering important factors including skills and experience, diversity, age and tenure, board size and board dynamics.

Each Verizon Director has extensive and relevant leadership experience, including current or prior service as a senior executive of a major corporation or a comparable position in government, for example, as well as significant experience with strategy. This experience is highlighted in the Director biographies on pages 4-9 of the proxy statement. When we nominate candidates to be a Verizon Director, we choose people who possess the personal qualities to make an active contribution to Board deliberations. We especially value interpersonal and communication skills, willingness to ask the difficult questions, a constant desire to learn and, of course, the highest ethical standards.

Our Corporate Governance and Policy Committee regularly evaluates the contribution of each of our Directors to our Board, including their availability to undertake the duties of Board and committee membership, their meeting attendance, their independence, and whether a Director’s skills and expertise continue to align with Verizon’s long-term business strategy. We look forward to continuing our success in building the Board in 2023.

Verizon’s world-class network and purpose-driven, resilient culture have allowed our team to deliver in the way people have come to expect of us, even in unprecedented, challenging times.

Governance

Skills and experience – Verizon’s strategy is to extend our network leadership through continued innovation, grow our core business and provide our customers with best-in-class experiences, while maintaining the balanced capital allocation approach and financial discipline that our investors expect of us. In light of the Company’s strategy and expected future business needs, the Committee has identified the skills and experience in the table below as important to be represented on the Board as a whole.

Diversity – The Committee recognizes that a diverse set of viewpoints and practical experiences enhances the effectiveness of our Board in assessing the challenges and opportunities impacting our business and helping management achieve better outcomes. In evaluating candidates, the Committee considers how a candidate’s particular background, experience, qualifications, attributes and skills may complement, supplement or duplicate those of other prospective candidates. The Committee seeks a diverse group of candidates who possess the requisite judgment, background, skill, expertise and time, as well as diversity with respect to race, ethnicity and gender, to strengthen and increase the diversity, breadth of skills and qualifications of the Board. See Appendix A for the Board diversity disclosure required by Nasdaq Rule 5606.

Age and tenure – The Committee believes it is important to bring new perspective and talents to the Board on a regular basis. Verizon does not have term limits for Directors because the Board recognizes that Directors who have served on the Board for an extended period can provide valuable insight into Verizon’s operations and future based on their experience with, and understanding of, Verizon’s history, policies and objectives. As an alternative to term limits, the Board seeks to maintain an average tenure of nine years or less for its independent Directors. In addition, to encourage new viewpoints on the Board, the Board seeks to add at least one new Director every two years on average. We have exceeded this goal by adding six new Directors since 2017, half of whom are women or diverse with respect to race or ethnicity. Under the Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Director must retire from the Board the day before the annual meeting of shareholders that follows his or her 72nd birthday.

Board size – The Committee periodically evaluates whether to change the size of the Board based on the Board’s needs and the availability of qualified candidates.

Board dynamics – The Committee considers each Director candidate’s individual contribution or potential contribution to the Board as a whole and strives to maintain one hundred percent active and collaborative participation.

Governance

Our Board’s independence

Verizon’s Corporate Governance Guidelines establish standards for evaluating Director independence and require that a substantial majority of the Directors be independent. The Board determines the independence of each Director under New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq governance standards, as well as the more stringent standards included in the Guidelines. These standards identify the types of relationships that, if material, could impair independence, and fix monetary thresholds at which the relationships are considered to be material. The Guidelines are available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.verizon.com/about/investors/corporate-governance. The Corporate Governance and Policy Committee conducts an annual review of any relevant business relationships that each Director may have with Verizon and reports its findings to the full Board.

Based on the Committee’s recommendation, the Board has determined that all of the non-employee Director candidates meet the independence requirements of applicable law, the NYSE, Nasdaq and Verizon’s Corporate Governance Guidelines: Ms. Archambeau, Ms. Austin, Mr. Bertolini, Mr. Colao, Ms. Healey, Mr. Narasimhan, Mr. Otis, Mr. Schulman, Mr. Slater, Ms. Tomé and Mr. Weaver.

Additionally, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee and the Human Resources Committee meets the additional, heightened independence criteria applicable to such committee members under the applicable NYSE and Nasdaq rules.

The employers or former employers of Mr. Bertolini, Mr. Narasimhan, Mr. Schulman and Ms. Tomé each made payments to Verizon for telecommunications services during 2022. In addition, during 2022 Verizon made payments to Mr. Bertolini’s former employer for fees relating to investment of pension plan assets, to Mr. Narasimhan’s employer for Verizon customer promotions, to Mr. Schulman’s employer for processing fees relating to payments to and from our customers in connection with Verizon services and wireless devices, and to Ms. Tomé’s employer for shipping services. Applying the independence standards above, the Board considered the foregoing payments and determined that these general business transactions and relationships are not material and did not impair the ability of the Director to act independently.

Director nominations

The Corporate Governance and Policy Committee considers and recommends candidates for our Board. The Committee reviews all nominations submitted to Verizon, including individuals recommended by shareholders, Directors or members of management. The Committee also retains executive search firms from time to time to help identify and evaluate potential candidates.

Any shareholder who wishes to recommend a Director candidate to the Committee for its consideration should write to the Assistant Corporate Secretary at the address given under “Contacting us.” A recommendation for a Director candidate should include the candidate’s name, biographical data and a description of the candidate’s qualifications in light of the requirements described below. If we make any material changes to the Committee’s procedure for considering and nominating candidates, we will file a report with the SEC and post the information on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.verizon.com/about/investors/corporate-governance.

What ESG skills and experience do our Directors bring to the boardroom?

ESG is increasingly incorporated into strategic and operational decision-making at Verizon. Each of our Directors has skills and experience in one or more aspects of ESG, including:

•   business ethics and compliance;

•   corporate social responsibility;

•   cybersecurity, data protection and privacy;

•   diversity, equity and inclusion;

•   environmental sustainability, including renewable energy;

•   governance;

•   network reliability and resilience;

•   regulatory and public policy trends;

•   risk management; and

•   talent attraction, retention and development.

Governance

Our governance framework

The membership, structure, policies and practices of our Board and its committees promote the effective exercise of the Board’s role in the governance of Verizon. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide a framework for the Board’s operations and address key governance practices. The Corporate Governance and Policy Committee monitors best practices and developments in corporate governance, considers the views of Verizon’s shareholders, and periodically recommends changes to the Board’s policies and practices, including the Guidelines. Directors provide input on the design of the Board annually, as part of the Board assessment process, and as warranted throughout the year.

Board leadership structure

Verizon’s governance framework provides the Board with the flexibility to select the appropriate Board leadership structure for the Company. In making this leadership structure determination, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business and the long-term interests of our shareholders.

Given the dynamic and highly competitive environment in which Verizon operates, the Board believes that Verizon and our shareholders are best served by a Chairman who has broad and deep knowledge of our industry, providing valuable knowledge to the Board and increasing the information available to it, and who has the vision, energy and experience to position Verizon as the leader of transformational change in the communications ecosystem. Based on these considerations, the Board has determined that, at this time, our CEO, Hans Vestberg, is the Director best qualified to serve in the role of Chairman. As CEO, Mr. Vestberg also has a greater understanding of the strategies and tactics of the Company and can most readily identify potential opportunities and problems.

To maintain an appropriate level of independent oversight, checks and balances in its governance, and consistent with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the independent members of the Board have elected an independent Lead Director who has the responsibilities described under “Role of the Lead Director.” Clarence Otis, Jr. currently serves as Lead Director. Mr. Otis acquired significant expertise in financial risk assessment and enterprise risk management as a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Board, multiple public company boards and audit committees, and as CEO of Darden Restaurants, and is well qualified to lead the Board in fulfilling its role in risk oversight.

The Lead Director and our Chairman and CEO meet and speak with each other regularly about the Company’s strategy and operations and the functioning of the Board. The Lead Director provides a tangible independent source of authority and serves as an impartial resource for the Board to express its views regarding management. In addition, the Lead Director regularly represents the Board in communications with shareholders and other stakeholders, and any shareholder or interested party may communicate directly with the Lead Director.

All Directors play an active role in overseeing Verizon’s business at both the Board and committee level. Every Director is given the agenda for each Board meeting in advance and can request changes. In addition, all Directors have unrestricted access to the Chairman and the senior leadership team at all times.

The Board believes that shareholders are best served by this current leadership structure because it features an independent Lead Director who provides independent and objective oversight and who can express the Board’s positions in a forthright manner, as well as independent Directors who are fully involved in the Board’s operations and decision making.

Governance

Data protection and privacy.

Verizon has a dedicated Chief Privacy Officer whose team advises the business on privacy risks and assesses the effectiveness of privacy controls. The Chief Privacy Officer at least annually briefs the Audit Committee on data privacy risks and mitigating actions.

Cybersecurity. To more effectively address the cybersecurity threats posed today, Verizon has a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer whose team is responsible for leading enterprise-wide information security strategy, policy, standards, architecture and processes. Verizon’s comprehensive information security program includes, among other aspects, cyber defense including incident response and resiliency planning and testing, product and platform security, cyber architecture and engineering, identity and access management, and risk assessment and management including third party oversight. The Chief Information Security Officer leads an annual review and discussion with the full Board dedicated to Verizon’s cyber risks and threats and cyber protections and provides updates throughout the year, as warranted. In addition, the Audit Committee receives regular updates from senior management on the Company’s cybersecurity posture and related matters.
