| Trade Date: | February 25, 2026 ("T"). |
| Settlement Date for the Depositary Shares Offering and Common Stock Offering: | February 27, 2026 (T+2), which is the second business day following the trade date for the Common Stock and 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.

The Issuer intends to use approximately $860 million of the net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering (together, the "Combined Offerings"), if completed (or up to approximately $980 million of the net proceeds from the Combined Offerings if the underwriters for such offerings exercise in full their options to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and Depositary Shares from the Issuer), to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

See "Use of Proceeds" in the Common Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.<br>The closing of the Common Stock Offering and the closing of the Depositary Shares Offering are not contingent upon each other. |
