A news release describing the offer is attached to the filing as Exhibit 99.1.

Key Details

• Offer date / filing: 8-K filed July 16, 2026.
• Amount: Up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unregistered 4.600% Senior Notes due 2030.
• Purpose: Exchange unregistered notes for an equal principal amount of registered notes under the Securities Act.
• Disclosure: News release attached as Exhibit 99.1; filing includes standard forward-looking statement caution.

Why It Matters
Registering the notes can increase liquidity and transferability for noteholders and may broaden the pool of potential investors (including retail investors) able to hold the securities. For current noteholders, the exchange offer does not change the interest rate (4.600%) or maturity (2030) but could affect marketability and trading. Investors should review the attached news release and any future documents for details on exchange mechanics, deadlines, and any tax or other consequences.
