2. “Safe Harbor” Statement
Verizon Wireless
NOTE: This presentation contains statements about expected future events and financial results that are
forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties. For those statements, which may include or be
preceded by such words as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and
similar expressions, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking statement. The following important factors, in addition to those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K (No. 333-160446), could affect future results and could cause those results to
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements: changes in economic conditions; our
ability to complete transactions relating to acquisitions and dispositions, including the integration of the Alltel
business; changes in the ratings of our debt securities or those of Verizon Communications; adverse
conditions in the credit markets impacting cost or availability of financing sufficient to meet our capital
requirements; our ability to acquire and retain customers; our continued provision of satisfactory service to
our customers at an acceptable price; the effects of competition; our ability to adapt to changing conditions in
the wireless industry; the ability of our key suppliers to meet their obligations to us; the effects of material
changes in available technology, including technology substitution and the cost of deployment; the impact of
continued unionization efforts with respect to our employees; adverse regulatory and taxation developments;
the effects of litigation; the impact of equipment failures, natural disasters, terrorist acts or other breaches of
network or information technology security; and the effects of any required future changes in accounting
assumptions.
