The offer and sale of the Notes was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-275814), including a preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 11, 2026 to the prospectus contained therein dated November 30, 2023, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a free writing prospectus dated March 11, 2026, filed by the Company with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act and a prospectus supplement dated March 11, 2026, filed by the Company with the SEC, containing the final terms of the Notes pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act.
The 2028 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.500% per year and mature on March 15, 2028. The 2029 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.650% per year and mature on March 15, 2029.

Events of default under the Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes.
