|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• will rank senior in right of payment and upon the Company's liquidation to any of the Company's future indebtedness the terms of which provide that such indebtedness ranks junior in right of payment to promissory notes, bonds, debentures and other evidences of indebtedness of types that include the Notes; and |

**\*** **Note: A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating agency has its own methodology for assigning ratings and, accordingly, each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.** 

**\*\*** **We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about September 12, 2025, which is the third business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+3"). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the first business day prior to the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to the first business day prior to the settlement date should consult their own advisors.** 

**\*\*\*** **The redemption of the 2028 Notes, if any, will be made solely pursuant to a redemption notice delivered pursuant to the indenture governing the 2028 Notes, and nothing contained herein constitutes a notice of redemption of the 2028 Notes. The Company may determine not to redeem the 2028 Notes or to redeem only a portion of the 2028 Notes.**
