financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the notes. Consequently, if you purchase notes and market interest rates
increase, the market prices of the notes will likely decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive approximately $1.24 billion from the offering of the notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and
estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering of the notes for general corporate purposes, including to repay outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs. Pending the application of the
net proceeds of the offering of the notes, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering primarily in cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities.

As of December 28, 2024, the outstanding balance under our commercial paper programs was approximately $649.5 million. The
outstanding commercial paper issuances as of December 28, 2024 have a weighted-average maturity of 40 days and an average interest rate of 4.3558%.

Certain of the underwriters are dealers under our commercial paper programs or our other outstanding indebtedness. As a result, certain of the
underwriters may receive a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes. See “Underwriting.”
