Regulation FD.

On April 21, 2025, Carnival Corporation (the “Company”) issued a notice of redemption for $350.0 million outstanding principal amount of its $1.4 billion 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Unsecured Notes”) to be redeemed on May 1, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 2026 Unsecured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. This redemption is a continuation of the Company’s strategy to deleverage and reduce interest expense.
