EXPLANATORY NOTE

Avaya Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) has filed this Form 15 to notify the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the suspension of the Company’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

At the beginning of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year, the Company had approximately 205 total holders of record of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, as determined pursuant to Rule 12g5-1 under the Exchange Act, and no holders of any other class of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to Section 15(d)(1) of the Exchange Act, because the Company had less than 300 holders of record of each class of securities to which Securities Act registration statements relate at the beginning of the 2023 fiscal year, the Company’s Section 15(d) reporting obligation is automatically suspended for fiscal year 2023. Accordingly, this Form 15 serves as a notification to the SEC, as required pursuant to Rule 15d-6 under the Exchange Act, that the Company’s duty to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d)(1) of the Exchange Act for fiscal year 2023 is suspended.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Avaya Holdings Corp. has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
