The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including the Base Prospectus) and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for this offering. Before you invest, you should read the Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement for this offering in that registration statement, and other documents the Issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR) at www.sec.gov.

It is expected that delivery of the 2035 notes will be made, against payment of the 2035 notes, on or about September 10, 2024, which will be the fifth (5th) business day in the United States following the date of pricing of the 2035 notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, purchases or sales of 2035 notes in the secondary market generally are required to settle within one (1) business day (T+1), unless the parties to any such transaction expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the 2035 notes on any day prior to the business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the 2035 notes initially will not settle on T+1, to specify any alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the 2035 notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors.

No EEA PRIIPs key information document (KID) has been prepared as the 2035 notes are not available to retail in the EEA. No UK PRIIPs KID has been prepared as the 2035 notes are not available to retail in the United Kingdom.

This communication is being distributed to, and is directed only at, persons in the United Kingdom in circumstances where section 21(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended, does not apply (such persons being referred to as “relevant persons”). Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this communication or any of its contents. Any investment activity (including, but not limited to, any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire securities) to which this communication relates will only be available to, and will only be engaged with, relevant persons.

To the extent any underwriter that is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer intends to effect any offers or sales of any 2035 notes in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers in accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations.
