Supplemental Plan of

Distribution:

  

On April 15, 2024, we agreed to sell to the Agents, and the Agents agreed to purchase, the notes at a purchase price of 99.75%, plus accrued interest, if any, from April 22, 2024. The purchase price equals the issue price of 100.00% less a discount of 0.25% of the principal amount of the notes.

  

To the extent any Agent that is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer intends to effect any offers or sales of any 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.

United States Federal

Income Tax Considerations:

  

In the opinion of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, the notes should be considered variable rate debt securities that provide for stated interest at a fixed rate in addition to a qualified floating rate. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders—Debt Securities—Variable Rate Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. Notwithstanding that we expect that the notes will be issued at par, under rules governing notes with a fixed rate in addition to a qualified floating rate, it is possible that the notes could be issued with OID. Whether the notes are issued with OID will be determined at the time of issue. Information regarding the determination of the amount of OID, if any, on the notes may be obtained by submitting a written request to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Treasury Funding Desk, N9310-060, 550 South Fourth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415-1529.

  

Additional tax considerations are discussed under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus.

Security Registrar and

Paying Agent:

  

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., acting through its office at CTSO Mail Operations, 1505 Energy Park Drive, St. Paul, MN 55108, Attn: CCT Administrator for Wells Fargo (or at such other place or places as may be designated from time to time).
