 written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. Beneficial Owners, however, are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participants through which the Beneficial Owners purchased Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any changes in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of interest of each Direct Participant in such Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes to be redeemed.

Although voting with respect to the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes is limited, in those cases where a vote is required, neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Series 2025A Junior Subordinated Notes unless authorized by
