 Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes, will constitute a single series of junior subordinated notes under the Subordinated Note Indenture.

In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $ in principal amount of the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes in order to cover over-allotments, if any.

Unless earlier redeemed, the entire principal amount of the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes will mature and become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on March 15, 2085. The Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are not subject to any sinking fund provision. The Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are available for purchase in denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof.

#### Interest
The Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes will bear interest at the rate of % per annum (the “Securities Rate”) from the date of original issuance. Subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments as described below, interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year to the person in whose name such Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Note is registered at the close of business (i) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date if the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are in book-entry only form or (ii) on the 15th calendar day preceding such Interest Payment Date if the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are not in book-entry only form (whether or not a Business Day), provided that interest payable at maturity or on a redemption date will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable. The initial Interest Payment Date is March 15, 2025. The amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

“Business Day” means a day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) a day on which banks in
