On February 25, 2026, the Company also announced the pricing for the Tender Offers. The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to the offer to purchase, dated February 10, 2026, as amended and supplemented by the Company's press release on February 25, 2026 (as so amended, the "Offer to Purchase") announcing the upsizing of the Offer SubCap with respect to the 4.685% Senior Notes and the Aggregate Offer Cap, which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers.

In order to receive the Early Tender Payment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for tendering early, holders of Securities must have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Securities by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 24, 2026 (the "Early Tender Date"). At the Early Tender Date, holders had tendered and not validly withdrawn $36,474,000 of the $137,032,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.700% Senior Notes, $32,822,000 of the $116,054,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.000% Senior Debentures, $27,313,000 of the $112,361,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.700% Senior Debentures, $61,942,000 of the $122,856,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.000% Senior Notes, $91,153,000 of the $224,877,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes, $656,047,000 of the $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.669% Senior Notes, $36,846,000 of the $90,878,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.000% Senior Notes, $472,349,000 of the $982,883,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.685% Senior Notes, $444,588,000 of the $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.081% Senior Notes, $344,737,000 of the $560,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 3.794% Senior Notes, $365,878,000 of the $625,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.874% Senior Notes, $424,319,000 of the $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.693% Senior Notes, $698,963,000 of the $1,725,018,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 3.700% Senior Notes, $304,074,000 of the $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.110% Senior Notes and $269,954,000 of the $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.298% Senior Notes. Because the aggregate purchase price, excluding the applicable accrued interest, of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Offer Cap, the Company will accept for purchase the 3.794% Senior Notes on a prorated basis.

Furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference are copies of the press releases announcing the early tender results and upsizing of the Offer SubCap with respect to the 4.685% Senior Notes and the Aggregate Offer Cap and the pricing of the Tender Offers, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Total Consideration (as defined below) for each series of Securities validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase is calculated using the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Subject to the Aggregate Offer Cap, Offer SubCap, if any, and proration if applicable, the principal amount of each series of Securities that is purchased in the Tender Offers has been determined in
 accordance with the applicable Acceptance Priority Level (in numerical priority order) specified in this column.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date (as defined below) and accepted for purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Total Consideration (as defined below) for each series of Securities validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase is calculated using the applicable Fixed
 Spread and is inclusive of the applicable Early Tender Payment. The Total Consideration for each series of Securities does not include the applicable Accrued Interest, which will be payable in addition to the applicable Total Consideration.

------

The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated February 10, 2026, as amended and supplemented by the Company's press release on February 25, 2026 (as so amended, the "<u>Offer to Purchase</u>") announcing the upsizing of the Offer SubCap with respect to the 4.685% Senior Notes and the Aggregate Offer Cap. The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offers.

The "<u>Total Consideration</u>" listed in the table above per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities was determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 25, 2026. Only holders of Securities who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Securities at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 24, 2026 (the "<u>Early Tender Date</u>") are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for Securities accepted for purchase. As previously announced, the Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for the Securities that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase on February 27, 2026 (the "<u>Early Settlement Date</u>"). Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date ("<u>Accrued Interest</u>").

As previously disclosed in the Offer to Purchase, because the aggregate purchase price, excluding the applicable Accrued Interest, of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Offer Cap, the Company will accept for purchase the 3.794% Senior Notes due 2050 on a prorated basis as set forth in the table above. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, Securities tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder's account. Since the Tender Offers are fully subscribed at the Early Tender Date, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date on a subsequent settlement date.
