assumptions, expectations, plans and projections that we believe to be reasonable when made, but which may change over time. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and inherently involve a wide range of risks and uncertainties
that are difficult to predict. Specific risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those identified under Item 1A, Risk Factors in
our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2025 and other important factors disclosed in our reports, and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. </P>

securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series, we anticipate that the following provisions will generally apply to depositary arrangements for global notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the issuance of a global note, the depositary or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
respective principal amounts of the persons who beneficially own the global note to their accounts with the depositary. These accounts will be designated by the dealers, underwriters or agents through whom we sold the debt securities, or by us if we
offer and sell the debt securities directly. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global note will be limited to persons that have accounts with the depositary, whom we refer to as participants, or persons that may hold interests through
participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and
the records of participants (with respect to interests of beneficial owners other than participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities must take physical delivery of debt securities in definitive, certificated
form. These requirements may impair our ability to sell, and the ability of a purchaser to transfer, beneficial interests in a global note. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as the depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, the depositary or its nominee will be considered the sole
owner or &#8220;Holder&#8221; of the debt represented by the global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note will not be entitled to have any of the debt represented by the
global note registered in their individual names, will not receive or be entitled to receive certificates representing debt securities in definitive form, and will not be considered the owners or &#8220;Holders&#8221; of the debt securities under
the indenture. Accordingly, investors who hold an interest in global debt securities in accounts at banks or brokers will not generally be recognized by us as the legal holders of the debt securities although the depositary or its nominee may choose
to grant proxies or otherwise allow owners of beneficial interests in the debt securities to take action which the depositary as &#8220;Holder&#8221; is entitled to take. </P>

will credit the accounts of the applicable participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial ownership interests in the principal amount of the global note, as shown on the records of the depositary or its nominee.
We further expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through those participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the
accounts of customers. These payments will, however, be the sole responsibility of the participants. We have no control over the practices of the depositary or the participants, and there can be no assurance that these practices will not be changed.

limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities, determine not to have any series of debt securities represented by one or more global notes and, in that event, will issue certificated debt securities of that
series in exchange for the global note. Further, if an Event of Default with respect to any series represented by a global note has occurred and is continuing, the global note may be exchanged for certificated debt securities. In that case, each

unless a greater or different vote is required by statute, any applicable law or regulation, the rights of any authorized class of stock, or our charter or bylaws. Other than in a contested election where directors are elected by a plurality vote, a
director nominee shall be elected to the board if the votes cast &#8220;for&#8221; such nominee&#8217;s election exceed the votes cast &#8220;against&#8221; such nominee&#8217;s election. Subject to any rights of the holders of any series of

such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding

a director, officer or employee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (any such person, an &#8220;indemnitee&#8221;), to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as in effect from time to time, or by
other applicable law as then in effect, against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys&#8217; fees, costs and charges, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually
and reasonably incurred or suffered by that person in connection therewith. Indemnitees additionally have the right to be advanced their expenses incurred in defending or preparing for such a proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject
to an acceptable undertaking by the indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified for those expenses. Northrop Grumman is not obligated to make such advances in connection
with a proceeding instituted by it against an indemnitee. The Bylaws further state that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified person may be entitled and that no amendment to or repeal of
the Bylaws would abrogate rights with respect to acts or omissions which already occurred. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Northrop Grumman has entered into an agreement
