On February 10, 2026, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC on behalf of themselves and as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Underwriting Agreement provides for the issuance and sale by the Company, and the purchase by the Underwriters, of the Notes. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Underwriting Agreement contains representations, warranties, conditions and covenants of the parties thereto as well as provides for indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriters against certain liabilities and contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities. Subject to the closing conditions specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the Company expects to consummate the sale of the Notes to the Underwriters on February 13, 2026.

The offer and sale of the Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-283481) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 26, 2024.

If the sale of the Notes is consummated pursuant to the terms set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, the Company estimates that it will receive net proceeds of approximately $2.98 billion (after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses) from the sale of the Notes.
