**Each Representing a 1/20th Interest in a Share of**

**(the "Depositary Shares Offering")** 

*The information in this pricing term sheet relates only to the Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering and should be read together with (i) the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 10, 2026 relating to the Common Stock Offering (the "Common Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement"), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, (ii) the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 10, 2026 relating to the Depositary Shares Offering (the "Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement"), including the documents incorporated by reference therein and (iii) the related base prospectus dated June 9, 2026, each filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registration No. 333-296641.

|:---|:---|
|  Expected Settlement Date for the Common Stock Offering | June 12, 2026 (T+1). |
|  Expected Settlement Date for the Depositary Shares Offering | <br> June 15, 2026 (T+2), which is the second business day following the trade date for the Depositary Shares (such settlement cycle being referred to as "T+2"). Under Rule 15c6-1 under 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 any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to the business day preceding the expected settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Depositary Shares initially will settle T+2, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Depositary Shares who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to the business day preceding the expected settlement date should consult their own advisors. |
|  Use of Proceeds | The Issuer expects the net proceeds from (i) the Common Stock Offering to be approximately $1.22 billion (or approximately $1.40 billion if the underwriters of the Common Stock Offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional common stock) and (ii) the Depositary Shares Offering to be approximately $3.68 billion (or approximately $4.23 billion if the underwriters of the Depositary Shares Offering exercise in full their over-allotment option to purchase additional Depositary Shares), in each case, after deducting the applicable underwriting discounts and the Issuer's estimated offering expenses totaling approximately $2.58 million. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering to fund the purchase of components to satisfy the approximately $39 billion of orders that the Issuer has received in recent weeks for its advanced AI servers, including its Data Center Building Block Solutions, from more than 20 customers, that the Issuer plans to fulfill in future quarters. The Issuer may also use a portion of the net proceeds from Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering for other general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of debt, additions to working capital and capital expenditures..

|  Depositary Shares Offered | 75,000,000 Depositary Shares, each of which represents a 1/20th interest in a share of the Issuer's 7.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock").

|  Dividends | 7.00% of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock per annum.

|  Conversion Rate per Share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock | <br> The conversion rate for each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not be more than 36.3640 shares of Common Stock and not less than 30.3040 shares of Common Stock (respectively, the "Maximum Conversion Rate" and "Minimum Conversion Rate"), depending on the applicable market value (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) of the Common Stock, as described below and subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. Correspondingly, the conversion rate per Depositary Share will be not more than 1.8182 shares of Common Stock and not less than 1.5152 shares of Common Stock. |
|  | The following table illustrates the conversion rate per share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, based on the applicable market value of the Common Stock: |

The exact stock price and effective date may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the stock price is between two stock prices on the table or the effective date is between two effective dates

Because each Depositary Share represents a 1/20th fractional interest in a share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, a holder of Depositary Shares may convert its Depositary Shares upon the occurrence of a fundamental change only in lots of 20 Depositary Shares.
