The following table sets forth some of the terms of the Offer:

---

| | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Title of Security** | **CUSIP Number** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Principal Amount Outstanding** | **Tender Cap (Principal Amount)** | **Reference U.S. Treasury Security<sup>(1)</sup>** | **Bloomberg Reference Page<sup>(1)</sup>** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Fixed Spread (basis points)** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Early Tender Premium (per $1,000)<sup>(2)</sup>** |
| 5.100% Senior Notes due 2052 | 117043 AV1 | $300000000 | $50000000 | 4.750% UST due August 15, 2055 | FIT1 | 175 bps | $50.00 |

---

<br> (1) The applicable page on Bloomberg from which the Dealer Manager named below will quote the bid side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security (as shown in the table above). In the above table, "UST" denotes a U.S. Treasury Security.

<sup>(2)</sup> The Total Consideration (as defined below) for Notes validly tendered (and not subsequently validly withdrawn) prior to or at the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) and accepted for purchase will be calculated using the fixed spread for the Notes (as specified above) over the yield based on the bid side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security (as specified above) and is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium (as defined below). In addition, holders whose Notes are accepted will also receive Accrued Interest (as defined below) on such Notes.<br>

The Offer is being made upon, and is subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated November 12, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase"). The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 11, 2025, unless extended by the Company or the Offer has been earlier terminated (the "Expiration Date"). Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to, but not after, 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 25, 2025, unless extended by the Company or the Offer has been earlier terminated (the "Withdrawal Deadline"), but may not be withdrawn thereafter except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. No tenders will be valid if submitted after the Expiration Date.

The total consideration (the "Total Consideration") paid in the Offer for Notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 25, 2025 unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (the "Early Tender Deadline") and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread for the Notes specified in the table above plus the yield to maturity of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above and in the Offer to Purchase and will include an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Premium"). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Deadline and on or prior to the Expiration Date will only receive the applicable "Tender Offer Consideration" per $1,000 principal amount of any such Notes tendered by such holders that are accepted for purchase, which is equal to the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium. The Total Consideration will be determined at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on November 26, 2025, unless extended by the Company or the Offer has been earlier terminated.

------

Tenders of Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. Holders who tender less than all of their Notes must continue to hold Notes in at least the minimum authorized denomination of $2,000 in principal amount.

Payments for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the most recent interest payment date for the Notes to, but excluding, the applicable settlement date ("Accrued Interest"). The settlement date for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (the "Early Settlement Date") is expected to be December 1, 2025, subject to all conditions to the Offer having been either satisfied or waived by the Company. The settlement date for the Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn following the Early Tender Deadline but on or prior to the Expiration Date is expected to be December 15, 2025, subject to all conditions to the Offer having been either satisfied or waived by the Company, assuming a principal amount of Notes equal to the Tender Cap is not purchased on the Early Settlement Date.

Subject to the Tender Cap and proration, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted before any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline. Even if the Offer is not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, subject to the Tender Cap, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to Notes validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline.

Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is greater than the Tender Cap. Furthermore, if the Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders who validly tender Notes following such Early Tender Deadline will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

Subject to applicable law, the Company reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase or decrease the Tender Cap at any time, which could result in a greater or lesser aggregate principal amount of the Notes being subject to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and the Company may do so without extending the Withdrawal Deadline.

The Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as more fully set forth in the Offer to Purchase. There can be no assurance such conditions will be satisfied. The Offer is not subject to a minimum tender condition.
