Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
This filing does not signal a loss of confidence in the core case at Lumen.
We are disappointed in certain market communications items but believe that
Lumen has the power to constructively clear things up and go on offense to
grow and realize value per share, like it did last year with a large share
repurchase. Our ownership of the company has now gone under 5%, as indicated
with this filing. We intend to remain constructively engaged with the board
and management of Lumen as warranted to help grow and realize value per
share.

Schedule 13D relates is 48,739,924 shares of the common stock of the Issuer,
