(the “Company”) outstanding as of July 9, 2010 will be purchased pursuant to the Offer (as defined herein) at a purchase price of $1,139.05 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, based on the average of the high and low prices per share of the Company’s common stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange on July 9, 2010. The final purchase price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes will be determined in accordance with the pricing formula described in the Company’s Offer to Purchase, dated July 13, 2010. As of July 9, 2010, there were Convertible Notes outstanding in an aggregate principal amount of $1,265,000,000.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment No. 4”) 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, Amendment No. 2 thereto (“Amendment No. 2”) filed by the Company with the SEC on August 10, 2010 and Amendment No. 3 thereto (“Amendment No. 3”) filed by the Company with the SEC on August 13, 2010 (as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the “Original Schedule TO” and, as further amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 4, 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, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, 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 26, 2010, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated by the Company.

Except as expressly amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 4, neither the Original Schedule TO nor the Offer to Purchase shall be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified hereby.

 

Item 6. Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals.

Items 6(c) of the Original Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase are each hereby amended and supplemented adding, in the Offer to Purchase, the following to the section entitled “Purposes, Effects and Plans — Redemption of the Convertible Notes Pursuant to the Merger Agreement”:

“Upon the issuance by us of a notice of such redemption, holders of Convertible Notes will be entitled to surrender for conversion any Convertible Notes called for redemption at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date specified in such redemption notice. Settlement of any such conversions of Convertible Notes will take place following the end of an “Applicable Conversion Reference Period,” as defined in the indenture governing the terms of the Convertible Notes. On each date during this Applicable Conversion Reference Period, the amounts due to holders on settlement of their conversion will be calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in the indenture governing the terms of the Convertible Notes. In the event that we announce a dividend on our common stock with a record date falling during the Applicable Conversion Reference Period, we will make a corresponding adjustment to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the indenture governing the terms of the Convertible Notes) applicable to the Convertible Notes. Such adjustment will take effect on the record date with respect to such dividend and will be applied to the conversion settlement calculations described above for each date during the Applicable Conversion Reference Period that is after the record date with respect to such dividend. As described more fully in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, holders who surrender Convertible Notes for conversion will not generally be entitled to receive any accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Notes.”
