INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (File No. 005-53477) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 13, 2010 by Qwest Communications International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto (“Amendment No. 1”) filed by the Company with the SEC on August 5, 2010 (as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, the “Original Schedule TO,” and as further amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule TO”), in connection with the Company’s offer to purchase for cash (the “Offer”) any and all of its outstanding 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase, dated July 13, 2010 (as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), each of which is attached as an exhibit to the Schedule TO. The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, August 12, 2010, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated by the Company (such date as it may be extended by the Company, the “Expiration Date”).

On August 10, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has determined the final purchase price offered by the Company pursuant to the Offer. The final purchase price that will be paid by the Company for Convertible Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date is equal to the maximum purchase price set forth in the Offer to Purchase of $1,170.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. In addition, holders will receive, in respect of their Convertible Notes that are accepted for purchase, accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date of the Offer. All amounts payable pursuant to the Offer will be rounded to the nearest cent.

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to amend and supplement the Original Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase by incorporating by reference the Company’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-15577), filed with the SEC on August 10, 2010 and to amend and supplement the Schedule TO to disclose the final purchase price.

Except as expressly amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 2, neither the Original Schedule TO nor the Offer to Purchase shall be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified hereby.

 

Item 1. Summary Term Sheet.

Item 1 of the Original Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

“What is the final purchase price offered by the Company pursuant to the Offer?

As determined by the Company on the Pricing Date pursuant to the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the final purchase price that will be paid by the Company for Convertible Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date is equal to the maximum purchase price of $1,170.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes.”

 

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.

 

Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 4(a) and Item 7(a) of the Original Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

“On August 10, 2010, the Company determined the final cash purchase price offered by the Company pursuant to the Offer. The final purchase price that will be paid by the Company for Convertible Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date is equal to the maximum purchase price set forth in the Offer to Purchase of $1,170.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. In addition, holders will receive, in respect of their Convertible Notes that are accepted for purchase, accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date of the Offer. All amounts payable pursuant to the Offer will be rounded to the nearest cent.

Based on the final purchase price, the Company would need approximately $1.48 billion to purchase all of the Convertible Notes outstanding as of July 9, 2010, assuming that the purchase of Convertible Notes pursuant to the Offer is settled on August 13, 2010.”

 

Item 11. Additional Information.

(b) Item 11(b) of the Original Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase are each hereby amended and supplemented by deleting, in the Offer to Purchase, the third bullet of the first paragraph of the section entitled “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” and replacing such third bullet with the following:

 

   

“Our current reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on January 8, 2010, January 13, 2010, February 16, 2010 (the filing pursuant to Item 5.02 of Form 8-K only), February 22, 2010, April 22, 2010, May 13, 2010 and August 10, 2010 (other than any information in such reports that is deemed to have been furnished to, rather than filed with, the SEC in accordance with SEC rules).”

 

Item 12. Exhibits.

Item 12 to the Original Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

“(a)(5)(iii)   Press Release, dated August 10, 2010 (incorporated by reference to Qwest Communications International Inc.’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 10, 2010, File No. 001-15577).”
