IBEW urges you to vote by paper ballot, rather than by electronic ballot. Return your paper ballot to your Local so that IBEW members can deliver the votes at Verizon’s annual shareholders meeting on May 5th.

If you have not received a paper ballot and you are entitled as a stockholder to vote, please request a paper ballot from the Company. You can request a paper ballot by calling 1-800-631-2355 or you can email at Verizon@computershare.com.

When you contact Verizon’s service, be prepared to insist on your right to your proxy. If they tell you to contact your 401K fund, ask them if they have your proxy and request that they send it to you. In order to verify your identity, they may ask for your Social Security number; please be prepared with that information.

3 Steps to Use your Proxy to send a message to Verizon:

1. Vote! Please follow the IBEW Recommendation’s on the back of this flyer.

2. Sign and date the card where indicated. Place the Proxy inside the envelop and seal the envelop.

3. Return the signed Proxy in the sealed envelope to your Local by April 24th. The IBEW will deliver these Proxies to the Shareholder’s meeting on May 5th.
