LLC, Mizuho International plc and Wells Fargo Securities International Limited, as representatives of the underwriters.

Interest on the Notes is payable on December&#160;11 of each year, commencing on December&#160;11, 2024. The Notes will mature on December&#160;11, 2028. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole, but not in part, for cash, at any time prior to their maturity at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, if certain tax events occur that would obligate the Company to pay additional amounts as described in the Indenture. In addition, prior to September&#160;11, 2028, the Company may redeem the Notes at the Company&#8217;s option for cash, any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price that includes accrued and unpaid interest and the applicable make-whole premium, as specified in the Indenture. However, no make-whole premium will be paid for redemption of the Notes on or after September&#160;11, 2028. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately &#8364;597&#160;million (or $649&#160;million based on an exchange rate of &#8364;1 to $1.0878 on December&#160;1, 2023, as published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board), after deducting the underwriting discount and the Company&#8217;s estimated expenses related to the Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Company&#8217;s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of the Company&#8217;s assets. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of the occurrence of both (1)&#160;a change of control of the Company and (2)&#160;a downgrade of the Notes below investment grade rating by both Moody&#8217;s Investors&#8217; Services, Inc. and Standard&#160;&amp; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services within a specified time period, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement, the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. </p> <p style="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&#160;</p>
