Important Factors Before Lumen's (LUMN) Q4 Earnings Release(Part-2) 

Lumen has negotiated an updated and restated transaction support agreement ("TSA") with a group of creditors who now represent about $12.5 billion of the firm and its subsidiaries' debt on January 25, 2024. It represents about 70% of Lumen and Level 3 debt due until 2027.

The modified TSA has more creditors than the Oct. 31, 2023 agreement. The TSA will prolong debt maturities to 2029+. New long-term debt and a $1 billion revolving credit facility will finance the firm for $1.325 billion. Lumen anticipates to close TSA transactions in the first quarter of 2024, pending closing conditions.

Lumen revealed Wi-Fi 7 certification for two wireless devices on January 8, 2024. These gadgets, released a few days ago, are suitable for bandwidth-intensive activities like gaming, VR, 8K video streaming, and massive data transfers. Lumen claimed to be the first to reach Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 devices with its proprietary solutions. Two Wi-Fi Alliance-certified Lumen Wi-Fi 7 devices are W1700K (desk or wall mount) and W1701K (wall plug-in).
