The securities of each class may be offered and sold from time to time by us and/or by one or more selling securityholders to be identified in the future. We will provide the specific terms of these securities in supplements to this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement (including any underlying supplement and/or product supplement, the "prospectus supplement") carefully before you invest in the securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

This prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplement describing the terms of the specific securities being offered and sold and the relevant pricing supplement, if any, may be used by our affiliates, including U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., in connection with market-making offers and sales of such securities in the secondary market as described above. These affiliates may act as principal or agent in such transactions. Such secondary market sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. We will not receive any of the proceeds of such sales. Our affiliates, including U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., do not have any obligation to make a market in the above referenced securities and may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice, in their sole discretion. Unless you are informed otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this prospectus is being used in a market-making transaction.

U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and may participate in distributions of the securities referred to above.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "USB."

Potential purchasers of the securities should consider the information set forth in the "Risk Factors" section in the applicable prospectus supplement and the discussion of risk factors contained in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.** 

 **None of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") or any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.** 

 **These securities will be our equity securities or unsecured obligations and are not savings accounts, deposits, or other obligations of any bank or non-bank subsidiary of ours. These securities are not guaranteed by U.S. Bancorp, or any other bank, and are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency or instrumentality.**

#### Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors or officers of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except where the director or officer breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware law, obtained an improper personal benefit or, with respect to any officer, in any action by or in the right of the corporation.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation's request as a director, officer, agent or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies (a) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (b) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of expenses (including attorneys' fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of such action and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions, no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the performance of duties to the corporation, unless the court believes that in light of all the circumstances, indemnification should apply.

Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, shall be held

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered on the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such actions occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

Article Eighth of U.S. Bancorp's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director will not be personally liable to U.S. Bancorp or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that a director's liability will not be eliminated or limited to the extent provided by applicable law (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to U.S. Bancorp or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction for which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The bylaws of U.S. Bancorp provide that the officers and directors of U.S. Bancorp and certain others will be indemnified to substantially the same extent permitted by Delaware law and require U.S. Bancorp to advance litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of a director or officer to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification. The indemnification provisions contained in the bylaws of U.S. Bancorp are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

In addition, U.S. Bancorp maintains a standard policy of officers' and directors' insurance.

In connection with an offering of the securities registered hereunder, the registrant may enter into an underwriting or distribution agreement which may provide that the underwriters are obligated, under certain circumstances, to indemnify directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

#### Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (17 C.F.R. § 424(b)) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

*Provided, however,* that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 (17 C.F.R. § 239.13) or Form F-3 (17 C.F.R. § 239.33) and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section

15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (17 C.F.R. § 230.424(b)) that is part of the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (17 C.F.R. § 230.424(b)(3)) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (17 C.F.R. § 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7)) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (17 C.F.R. § 230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x)) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. *Provided, however*, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of the registrant's securities pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (17 C.F.R. § 230.424);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file applications for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

March 10, 2023

This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have examined (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended; (iii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; (iv) executed copies of the Indentures; and (v) resolutions of the Company's board of directors relating to the offering of the Offered Securities.

In addition, we have examined such other documents, certificates and opinions and have made such further investigation as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions expressed below. In expressing the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing any document. As to all parties other than the Company, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents, and we have assumed the validity and enforceability of all documents against all parties thereto, other than the Company, in accordance with their respective terms. We have also assumed that (i) the Registration Statement has become, and remains, effective under the Act; (ii) a prospectus supplement, pricing supplement and/or term sheet will have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Offered Securities offered thereby and will comply with all applicable laws; (iii) all Offered Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the appropriate prospectus supplement, pricing supplement and/or term sheet; (iv) a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement and any other necessary agreement with respect to any Offered Securities offered and sold will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the parties thereto; (v) the Offered Securities will be sold and delivered at the price and in accordance with the terms of such agreement and as set forth in the Registration Statement and the appropriate prospectus supplement, pricing supplement and/or term sheet; (vi) the issue price for any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, including upon any exercise of Warrants, upon conversion of any Debt Securities or Preferred Stock (with respect to the Common Stock) or upon settlement of Purchase Contracts or Units, will be at a price not less than the par value of such shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be; (vii) the certificates evidencing any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock will have been duly executed and delivered; (viii) the Corporate Proceedings with respect to the Offered Securities and their offering and issuance will have been completed; (ix) the terms of the Offered Securities will be consistent with the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement and any applicable prospectus supplement, pricing supplement and/or term sheet; and (x) the terms of the Offered Securities will not violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company, and such terms will comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.

As to matters of fact material to our opinions, we have, to the extent we deemed such reliance appropriate, relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials with respect to the Company.

March 10, 2023

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for legal considerations that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Company is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) except with respect to Common Stock issuable upon (i) the exercise of Warrants, (ii) the conversion of Debt Securities or Preferred Stock or (iii) the settlement of Purchase Contracts or Units, when the Common Stock has been issued and sold in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) with respect to Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, when such Common Stock has been issued upon exercise of such Warrants and the exercise price therefore has been paid, such Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) with respect to Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Debt Securities or Preferred Stock that are by their terms convertible, when such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of such Debt Securities or Preferred Stock, such Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) with respect to Common Stock issuable upon the settlement of Purchase Contracts or Units, when such Common Stock has been issued upon settlement of such Purchase Contracts or Units and the purchase price therefore has been paid, such Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;

March 10, 2023

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) with respect to Preferred Stock issuable upon the settlement of Purchase Contracts or Units, when such Preferred Stock has been issued upon settlement of such Purchase Contracts or Units and the purchase price therefore has been paid, such Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) with respect to any Depositary Shares, when the Deposit Agreement relating thereto has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, when the receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares (the "Depositary Receipts") have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, countersigned by the Depositary and issued against the deposit of the underlying shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and when payment therefor has been received, such Depositary Shares will be legally issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified in such Depositary Receipts and in the Deposit Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) with respect to any Senior Debt, when the Senior Debt Securities have been executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Senior Note Trustee in accordance with the Senior Note Indenture and when payment therefor has been received by the Company, such Senior Debt Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Senior Note Indenture, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) with respect to any Subordinated Debt Securities, when the Subordinated Debt Securities have been executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Subordinated Note Trustee in accordance with the Subordinated Note Indenture and when payment therefor has been received by the Company, such Subordinated Debt Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Subordinated Note Indenture, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances;

March 10, 2023

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) with respect to any Warrants, when the Warrant Agreement relating thereto has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, when the Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent in accordance with the Warrant Agreement and when payment therefor has been received by the Company, such Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiv) with respect to any Purchase Contracts, when the Purchase Contract Agreement relating thereto has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and countersigned in accordance with the Purchase Contract Agreement and when payment therefor has been received by the Company, such Purchase Contracts will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xv) with respect to any Units, when the Unit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and countersigned by the Unit Agent in accordance with the Unit Agreement and when payment therefor has been received by the Company, such Units will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances.

We note that, as of the date of this opinion, a judgment for money in an action based on an Offered Security in a federal or state court in the United States ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in United States dollars, and the date used to determine the rate of conversion of foreign currencies or currency units into United States dollars would depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment. A state court in the State of New York rendering a judgment on such Offered Security would be required under Section 27 of the New York Judiciary Law to render such judgment in the foreign currency in which the Offered Security is denominated, and such judgment would be converted into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment.

March 10, 2023

We are admitted to practice law in New York and our opinions expressed herein are limited solely to the Federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion herein concerning the laws of any other jurisdiction.

In rendering the foregoing opinions, we are not passing upon, and assume no responsibility for, any disclosure in the Registration Statement or any related prospectus supplement, pricing supplement, term sheet or other offering material regarding the Company or the Offered Securities or their offering and sale.

This opinion speaks as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in applicable law that may hereafter occur.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Validity of Securities" in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.

(1) An indeterminate aggregate initial offering price or number of the securities of each identified class is being registered as may
from time to time be sold at indeterminate prices. Separate consideration may or may not be received for securities that are issuable
on exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities or that are issued in units. In accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the registrant is deferring payment of all of the registration
fee and will pay the registration fee subsequently in advance or on a pay-as-you-go basis.

(2) This registration statement also covers an indeterminate amount of registered securities that may be reoffered and resold on an ongoing
basis after their initial sale in market-making transactions by affiliates of the registrant. Pursuant to Rule 457(q) under the Securities
Act, no filing fee is required for the registration of an indeterminate amount of securities to be offered in such market-making transactions.
All such market-making reoffers and resales of these securities that are made pursuant to a registration statement after the effectiveness
of this registration statement are being made solely pursuant to this registration statement.

(3) An indeterminate number of Depositary Shares to be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to a deposit agreement. In the
event that the registrant elects to offer to the public whole or fractional interests in shares of the Preferred Stock registered hereunder,
depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing such interests and the shares of Preferred Stock will be issued to
the depositary under the deposit agreement.

(4) Any registered securities may be sold separately or as Units with other registered securities. Units may consist of two or more securities
in any combination, which may or may not be separable from one another. Each Unit will be issued under a unit agreement. Because Units
will consist of securities registered hereunder, no additional registration fee is required for the Units.
