 thereof.

In the future, AbbVie may, without the consent of the holders, increase the principal amount of any series of Notes offered hereby. The Notes of each series and any additional Notes of such series subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single series or class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and redemptions; provided that, if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the existing Notes for United States federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

The indenture limits neither the amount of debt that AbbVie may issue under the indenture, nor the amount of other debt or securities that AbbVie or any of its subsidiaries may issue. AbbVie may issue debt securities under the indenture from time to time in one or more series, each in an amount authorized prior to issuance. Other than the restrictions contained in the indenture on secured debt and sale/leaseback transactions described below under “Certain Covenants of AbbVie,” and the restrictions described below under “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets,” the indenture does not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to protect holders of the debt securities in the event AbbVie participates in a highly leveraged transaction. In addition, the indenture does not limit AbbVie’s ability to guarantee any indebtedness of its subsidiaries or any other person.

We may redeem the Notes of any series at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the applicable redemption price set forth under the caption “ Description of Notes — Optional Redemption .”

Interest on each series of Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 in each year, commencing September 15, 2025, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the date that is 15 calendar days prior to the relevant interest payment date (whether or not a business day). Interest on each series of Notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

In any case where any interest or other payment date of any Note is not a business day at the applicable place of payment, then payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such place of payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day at such place of payment
