On March 11, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") established a quarterly dividend level of $2.30 per share on the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, which represents the anticipated level at which dividends will be declared by the Board until the Board determines otherwise, beginning with the dividend expected to be declared in May 2026. This new dividend level represents a 21% increase over the Company's most recent quarterly dividend of $1.90 per share declared in February 2026. The declaration and payment of future dividends is subject to the Board's discretion and will depend on financial and legal requirements and other considerations.

Also, on March 11, 2026, the Board approved a new share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $7 billion of shares of the Company's common stock. This share repurchase program is in addition to the $5 billion share repurchase program announced in April 2025, which as of December 31, 2025 had $3.94 billion of repurchase authority remaining.

Under the repurchase programs, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or otherwise, all in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions, and other considerations. The repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and the repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

------
