TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Subsequent to the October 24, 2006 issuance of its press release reporting results for its
quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, Lucent Technologies Inc. became aware of a classification error that will
result in a change to its balance sheet, which was included as Exhibit B to the press release. This
adjustment will result in a $486 million increase in debt maturing within one year and a
corresponding reduction in long-term debt. The required adjustment is the result of an error in the
original classification of the Company’s 8% convertible securities, which are redeemable at
the option of the holders on August 2, 2007. The adjustment does not impact the Company’s
previously reported results of operations or cash flows for the quarter or fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006. This Form 8-K does not otherwise change or update any other previously reported
financial statements or disclosures of the Company contained in its press release dated October 24,
2006.
In accordance with general instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, information in this Item 2.02 shall not be
deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any
filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 6, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has notified the New
York Stock Exchange of its intention to voluntarily delist the following series of its debt
securities: 5.50% notes due November 15, 2008; 6.50% debentures due January 15, 2028; and 6.45%
debentures due March 15, 2029. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
