There is no limit on the number of Deferral Periods that may occur for a series of Notes. Deferred interest will accrue, compounding on each subsequent Interest Payment Date until paid, to the extent permitted by law. A Deferral Period terminates on any Interest Payment Date, where the Company pays all accrued and unpaid interest on such date. No Deferral Period may extend beyond the date of maturity or redemption (with respect to the Notes redeemed). |

| Optional Redemption: | The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole or at any time in part from time to time, by giving prior notice of not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days to the holders of the Notes (i) on any day in the period commencing on and including the date that is 90 days prior to the First Reset Date and ending on and including the First Reset Date, and (ii) after the First Reset Date, on any Interest Payment Date, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed together with accrued and unpaid interest (including deferred interest, if any) thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. |
| Redemption on Tax Event: | At any time within 90 days following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) of either or both Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including deferred interest, if any) thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. |

*A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
**We expect delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about June 27, 2025, which is the third business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the business day immediately preceding the closing of this offering will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisers.
