_{(1) The 2027 Tender Sub-Cap and the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap represent for the applicable Series the maximum aggregate purchase price of such Series of Notes that will be purchased within the Offers. We reserve the right, but are under no obligation, to increase, decrease or eliminate the 2027 Tender Sub-Cap and/or the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap at any time, including on or after the Price Determination Date and without extending the Early Tender Deadline or Withdrawal Deadline (each as defined below), subject to compliance with applicable law.}_{(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase in the applicable Offer at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline; included in Total Consideration.}_{(3) Includes the Early Tender Premium.}_{(4) The Total Consideration will be determined taking into account the maturity date or par call date, as applicable, for each Series. Excludes Accrued Interest (as defined below).}

The primary purpose of the Offers is to acquire the maximum principal amount of Notes for which the aggregate purchase price (including principal and premium, but excluding Accrued Interest) for the Notes does not exceed $1,200,000,000 (the "Maximum Tender Cap"), subject to the satisfaction or waiver by us of the conditions set forth below and as further described in the Offer to Purchase. Notes that are accepted in the Offers will be purchased, retired and cancelled and will no longer remain outstanding obligations of the Company.

As further described in the Offer to Purchase, notwithstanding the Maximum Tender Cap, (i) the Company will accept for purchase no more than $800,000,000 in aggregate purchase price (such amount, as it may be amended, the "2027 Tender Sub-Cap") of its 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 and (ii) the Company will accept for purchase no more than $250,000,000 in aggregate purchase price (such amount, as it may be amended, the "5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap") of its 5.400% Senior Notes due 2029. The amounts of each Series of Notes that are accepted for purchase in the Offer will be determined in accordance with the priorities identified in the column "Acceptance Priority Level" in the table above (each, an "Acceptance Priority Level" and, collectively, the "Acceptance Priority Levels").

Details of the Offers

None of the Offers are conditioned upon consummation of any of the other Offers, and each Offer otherwise operates independently from the other Offers. None of the Offers are conditioned on any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 8, 2026 (as the same may be extended with respect to any Offer, the "Expiration Date"). Holders (as defined below) must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2026 (as the same may be extended with respect to any Offer, the "Early Tender Deadline"), to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration and Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive only the applicable Purchase Price, which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration less the applicable Early Tender Premium, in each case as fully described in the Offer to Purchase. Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2026 (as the same may be extended with respect to any Offer, the "Withdrawal Deadline"), but not thereafter, except as required by applicable law as described in the Offer to Purchase.

The applicable Total Consideration for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will be determined by reference to a fixed spread specified for each Series of Notes over the yield based on the bid price of the applicable Reference Security specified in the table above for such Series, as fully described in the Offer to Purchase. The consideration will be calculated by the Dealer Managers (as defined below) at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on August 24, 2026 (as the same may be extended with respect to any Offer, the "Price Determination Date"). The applicable Early Tender Premium for each Series of Notes is set forth in the table above. The Purchase Price for the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will be calculated by taking the applicable Total Consideration for such Series of Notes and subtracting from it the applicable Early Tender Premium for such Series of Notes. In addition to the applicable Total Consideration or applicable Purchase Price, as the case may be, accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date will be paid in cash on all validly tendered Notes accepted for purchase in the Offers (the "Accrued Interest").

We reserve the right, but are under no obligation, at any point after the Early Tender Deadline and prior to the Expiration Date, to accept for purchase Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline on a date determined at our option (such date, if any, the "Early Settlement Date"). The Total Consideration, plus Accrued Interest, for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will be paid by us in same-day funds on such Early Settlement Date, if any. We currently expect the Early Settlement Date, if any, to occur on August 26, 2026. The Purchase Price, plus Accrued Interest, for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase will be paid by us in same-day funds promptly following the Expiration Date (the "Final Settlement Date"). We currently expect the Final Settlement Date to occur promptly following the Expiration Date, on September 10, 2026.

Our obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to each Offer, up to the Maximum Tender Cap or, if applicable, the 2027 Tender Sub-Cap and/or the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap, is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver by us of a number of conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase including our receipt prior to the Expiration Date (or Early Settlement Date, if we elect to have an early settlement) of net proceeds from our contemporaneous offering of one or more series of notes in an amount that is sufficient, together with cash on hand, to effect the repurchase of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers, including the payment of any premiums and Accrued Interest and costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the preliminary prospectus supplement related to such offering, on terms satisfactory to us in our sole discretion (the "Financing Condition"), in each case unless waived by us as provided in the Offer to Purchase.

Subject to the Maximum Tender Cap, the 2027 Tender Sub-Cap and the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted for purchase before any validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers, and all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted for purchase before any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers. However, any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Deadline will, subject to the Maximum Tender Cap, the 2027 Tender Sub-Cap and the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap, be accepted for purchase in priority to Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date even if the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Deadline. Notes of the Series in each Acceptance Priority Level accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offers may be subject to proration such that we will only accept for purchase Notes with an aggregate purchase price up to the Maximum Tender Cap or, if applicable, the 2027 Tender Sub-Cap and/or the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap.

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to amend, extend or, upon failure of any condition described in the Offer to Purchase to be satisfied or waived (including the Financing Condition), to terminate any of the Offers, including the right to amend or eliminate the Maximum Tender Cap, the 2027 Tender Sub-Cap and/or the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap, in each case, at any time at or prior to the Expiration Date.
