Election of Director

On December 12, 2007, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Qwest Communications International Inc. (“Qwest” or the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) unanimously elected Ms. Jan L. Murley as a director. The Board also appointed Ms. Murley to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Murley and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director.

Under our standard compensation arrangement available to non-employee directors, Ms. Murley will receive a retainer of $70,000 per year, plus $7,500 per year for her services as a member of the Compensation Committee. On the first business day of each year, we will grant to Ms. Murley a restricted stock award valued by us at $100,000. Each of these annual awards will vest in full one year after the date of grant. In addition, on December 12, 2007, we granted to Ms. Murley a restricted stock award of 1,000 shares. This award vests in full on December 12, 2008. Each of these restricted stock awards was or will be granted under our Equity Incentive Plan. Upon a change in control, each award will vest immediately and will remain exercisable for its remaining term.

2008 Qwest Management Bonus Plan

On December 12, 2007, the Compensation Committee approved the basic structure of the 2008 Qwest Management Bonus Plan. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (Edward A. Mueller), our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (John W. Richardson) and our other current named executive officers (Richard N. Baer and Paula Kruger) are eligible to participate in the plan. Under this plan, bonus payments are calculated using bonus target percentages (expressed as a percentage of base salary) and are adjusted based on a combination of corporate, business unit and individual performance.

Target bonus percentages are: 200% for Mr. Mueller; 150% for Messrs. Richardson and Baer; and 100% for Ms. Kruger. These amounts may be further adjusted by 0% to 150% for corporate and business unit performance and by 0% to 150% for individual performance. Corporate and business unit performance will be determined by a weighted average of a combination of measures, which may include revenue, EBITDA, operating margin, cash flow, capital expenditures and imperatives depending on the department in which the executive works. The Committee will approve performance targets for each of these measures in the first quarter of 2008. Individual performance will be based on an evaluation by Mr. Mueller (or by the Board in the case of Mr. Mueller) of overall employee performance compared to established performance objectives and behaviors exhibited by the executive compared to our Qwest brand attributes and values.

A summary of the 2008 Qwest Management Bonus Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
