2026 Stockholder Return Program

On December 11, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized our 2026 Stockholder Return Program of up to $14.6 billion that will run through December 31, 2026 (the “2026 Stockholder Return Program”). The 2026 Stockholder Return Program consists of repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. The amount available under the 2026 Stockholder Return Program for share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any cash dividends declared and paid by us.

On December 4, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.02 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which was paid on March 12, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 27, 2026.

On March 19, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.02 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which will be paid on June 11, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 29, 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid an aggregate of $1.1 billion in cash dividends to our stockholders, which was presented within Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which $594 million was paid to Deutsche Telekom AG (“DT”). As of March 31, 2026, $1.1 billion for dividends payable is presented within Other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $594 million is payable to DT.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 23,329,925 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $210.07 for a total purchase price of $4.9 billion, under the 2026 Stockholder Return Program. All shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, were purchased at market price. As of March 31, 2026, we had up to $8.6 billion remaining under the 2026 Stockholder Return Program for repurchases of shares and quarterly dividends through December 31, 2026.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, on April 23, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors increased the 2026 Stockholder Return Program authorization to up to $18.2 billion.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, from April 1, 2026, through April 24, 2026, we repurchased 3,791,020 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $195.87 for a total purchase price of $743 million. As of April 24, 2026, we had up to $11.5 billion remaining under the 2026 Stockholder Return Program for repurchases of shares and quarterly dividends through December 31, 2026.
