The offer of the notes was registered under the Company&#8217;s Registration Statement on Form <span style="white-space:nowrap">S-3</span> (Registration <span style="white-space:nowrap">No.&#160;333-269918)</span> (the &#8220;Registration Statement&#8221;) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;Commission&#8221;) on February&#160;22, 2023. On August&#160;5, 2024, the Company closed its public offering of the notes.</p><p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the &#8220;Trustee&#8221;), dated as of August&#160;19, 2010 (the &#8220;Base Indenture&#8221;), as supplemented by the eighteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of August&#160;5, 2024 (the &#8220;Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture&#8221; and, together with the Base Indenture, the &#8220;Indenture&#8221;).

Prior to May&#160;5, 2034 (three months prior to their maturity date) (the &#8220;Par Call Date&#8221;), the Company may redeem the notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i)&#160;the make-whole redemption price set forth in the notes less interest accrued to the date of redemption and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In addition, the Indenture contains a covenant that limits the ability of the Company to consolidate or merge with another entity or to sell all or substantially all of its assets to another entity.</p><p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture contains customary default provisions. In addition, an event of default will occur if the Company or certain of its subsidiaries fail to pay the principal of any Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) when due at maturity in an aggregate amount of $50&#160;million or more, or a default occurs that results in the acceleration of the maturity of the Company&#8217;s or certain of its subsidiaries&#8217; Indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $50&#160;million or more. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Indenture, the notes may become immediately due and payable either automatically or by the vote of the holders of more than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the notes of the applicable series then outstanding.</p><p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The above descriptions of the Base Indenture and Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture and the form of the notes are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by their respective terms.
