<sup>[1]</sup> The term "treasury rate" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the issuer's preliminary prospectus supplement dated August 4, 2025.

\*Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

\*\*We expect that delivery of the mortgage bonds offered hereby will be made against payment therefor on or about August 7, 2025, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the mortgage bonds (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+3"). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the mortgage bonds on any date prior to the first business day before delivery of the mortgage bonds will be required, by virtue of the fact that the mortgage bonds initially will settle in T+3, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
