Lumen Technologies, Inc. has announced a voluntary transfer of its listing from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. According to a Form 8-K filed on September 25, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved the move for its common stock, preferred stock purchase rights, and debt securities issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Qwest Corporation.
The securities involved include the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock Purchase Rights, the 6.500% Notes due 2051 (trading symbol CTGG), and the 6.750% Notes due 2052 (trading symbol CTHH). Lumen has filed applications to list these items on Nasdaq and intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to effect the delisting from the NYSE.
The Company expects the transfer to occur in two phases. The securities are scheduled to be de-listed from the NYSE at the close of trading on October 5, 2026, and are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq at the opening of the market on October 6, 2026. Lumen stated that the transfer is not expected to impact the Company’s operations, financial condition, or reporting obligations, and that shareholders will not be required to take any action.
Lumen CEO Kate Johnson noted that the move is intended to align the listing with the Company’s strategic priorities as it transforms into an enterprise networking company focused on AI. The Company indicated that Nasdaq is chosen to reflect the technology-focused business it is building.
