Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b), (e) On November 6, 2018, Amir Hussain, who previously served as our Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, stepped down from all positions with CenturyLink, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, effective immediately.

In addition to amounts payable to Mr. Hussain upon his termination of employment pursuant to the terms of previously-disclosed compensation arrangements, including the automatic acceleration of certain special equity awards granted to him in June 1, 2017, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s board of directors approved certain adjustments to Mr. Hussain’s outstanding annual equity awards. Specifically, the Committee accelerated vesting of the shares of time-based restricted stock granted to Mr. Hussain during fiscal 2016 and 2017 (a total of 27,720 shares) effective as of November 6, 2018. With respect to his 86,518 outstanding shares of performance-based restricted stock granted to him in fiscal 2016 and 2017, Mr. Hussain will continue to hold those awards subject to their original performance conditions. However, the shares of time-based and performance-based restricted stock granted to him in February 2018 were forfeited upon his departure.
