reference herein and therein may include &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). Statements containing words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;could&#148; and
similar expressions are intended to highlight or indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment based on current information, and, although we base these statements on circumstances that we believe to
be reasonable when made, there can be no assurance that future events will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking information. As such, the forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may vary
materially from the projected results and expectations discussed. Factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i)&nbsp;competitive pressure on
sales and pricing, including pressure from imports and substitute materials; (ii)&nbsp;U.S. and foreign trade policies affecting steel imports or exports; (iii)&nbsp;the sensitivity of the results of our operations to prevailing market steel prices
and changes in the supply and cost of raw materials, including pig iron, iron ore and scrap steel; (iv)&nbsp;the availability and cost of electricity and natural gas which could negatively affect our cost of steel production or result in a delay or
cancellation of existing or future drilling within our natural gas drilling programs; (v)&nbsp;critical equipment failures and business interruptions; (vi)&nbsp;market demand for steel products, which, in the case of many of our products, is driven
by the level of nonresidential construction activity in the United States, as well as prevailing domestic prices for oil and gas; (vii)&nbsp;impairment in the recorded value of inventory, equity investments, fixed assets, goodwill or other
long-lived assets; (viii)&nbsp;uncertainties surrounding the global economy, including excess world capacity for steel production; (ix)&nbsp;fluctuations in currency conversion rates; (x)&nbsp;significant changes in laws or government regulations
affecting environmental compliance, including legislation and regulations that result in greater regulation of greenhouse gas emissions that could increase our energy costs and our capital expenditures and operating costs or cause one or more of our
permits to be revoked or make it more difficult to obtain permit modifications; (xi)&nbsp;the cyclical nature of the steel industry; (xii)&nbsp;capital investments and their impact on our performance; (xiii)&nbsp;our safety performance; and
(xiv)&nbsp;the impact of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic. Additional information regarding the risks and uncertainties which may affect our business operations and financial performance can be found in our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) and under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in this prospectus supplement. </P>

Factors&#148; in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Form&nbsp;10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019, and &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on <FONT

adversely affect our business and operations. If any of the matters described in the risk factors were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected. In such case,
you could lose all or a portion of your investment. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, as well as similar epidemics

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our operations expose us to risks associated with pandemics, epidemics and other public health emergencies, such as the recent <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic which has spread from China to many other countries including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic a national emergency. </P>

to meet our customers&#146; ongoing needs. In spite of our continued operations, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic has begun to have and may have further negative impacts on our operations, supply chain, transportation
networks and customers, which may compress our margins, including as a result of preventative and precautionary measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic is a
widespread public health crisis that is adversely affecting financial markets and the economies of many countries. Any resulting economic downturn could adversely affect demand for our products and contribute to volatile supply and demand conditions
affecting prices and volumes in the markets for our products and raw materials. The progression of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic could also negatively impact our business or results of operations through the temporary

significantly impact our production throughout the supply chain and constrict sales channels. Our customers may be directly impacted by business interruptions or weak market conditions and may not be willing or able to fulfill their contractual
obligations. Furthermore, the progression of and global response to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic has begun to cause and increases the risk of further delays in construction activities and equipment deliveries related
to our capital projects, including potential delays in obtaining permits from government agencies. The extent of such delays and other effects of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> on our capital projects, certain of which are outside

activities. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the one hand, and other participants in DTC, on the other hand, would also be subject to DTC&#146;s rules and procedures. </P>

Luxembourg, as applicable. Thus, if investors wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day, they may need to act before the expiration date. In addition, if investors hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or Clearstream,
they may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchases or sales of their interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those transactions may settle later than transactions within one clearing system. </P>

acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Notes. In particular, except as specifically provided, it does not discuss any estate, gift, generation-skipping, transfer, state, local or foreign tax consequences, or the consequences arising under any
tax treaty. Moreover, the effects of any tax arising under Section 1411 of the Code (the &#147;Medicare&#148; tax on certain investment income) are not discussed. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in this summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with these statements and conclusions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay you amounts in excess of stated interest or principal on the Notes. At our option, we may
redeem all or part of the Notes, as described in &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Optional Redemption,&#148; for a price that may include an additional amount in excess of the principal amount of such Notes. Based on existing Treasury Regulations,
this option to redeem will be presumed not to be exercised and, accordingly, the premium payable upon a redemption will not affect the yield to maturity or the maturity date of the Notes. If, contrary to our expectations, we redeem the Notes, any
premium paid to you as a U.S. Holder should be taxed as capital gain under the rules described below under &#147;U.S. Holders&#151;Sale, Exchange, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes.&#148; You should consult your tax
advisor regarding the appropriate tax treatment of the amounts you receive upon any such redemption, including any premium you receive. </P>

excess of the principal amount of such Notes. Our obligation to pay such excess amount may cause the IRS to take the position that the Notes are &#147;contingent payment debt instruments&#148; for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the IRS is
successful in such an assertion, the timing and amount of income included and the character of gain recognized with respect to the Notes would likely be different from the consequences discussed herein. Notwithstanding this possibility, we intend to
take the position that the likelihood of such a repurchase is remote and, accordingly, that the possibility of a premium payable upon such a repurchase does not affect the yield to maturity or the maturity date of the Notes and does not cause the
Notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. A holder may not take a contrary position unless the holder discloses the contrary position to the IRS in the manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations. If we pay a premium on a
repurchase upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the premium should be treated as a capital gain under the rules described below under &#147;U.S. Holders&#151;Sale, Exchange, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition

securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates
have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, commercial and investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. In particular, the affiliates of some of the underwriters are
participants in our unsecured revolving credit facility described in our filings with the SEC. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions or other payments for these transactions. Further, U.S. Bancorp

own accounts and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or financial instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their respective affiliates has a lending
relationship with us, certain of these underwriters or their respective affiliates routinely hedge, and certain others of these underwriters or their respective affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk
management policies.&nbsp;Typically, such underwriters and their respective affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions that consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in
our&nbsp;securities, including potentially the Notes. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment
recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and financial
instruments. </P>

(the&nbsp;&#147;Exchange Act&#148;). Statements containing words such as &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;strategy,&#148; &#147;projects,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;opportunity,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148;
&#147;desires&#148; and similar expressions are intended to highlight or indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment based on current information, and although we base these statements on
circumstances that we believe to be reasonable when made, there can be no assurance that future events will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking information. As such, the forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance, and actual results may vary materially from the projected results and expectations discussed. Factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to: (i)&nbsp;competitive pressure on sales and pricing, including pressure from imports and substitute materials; (ii)&nbsp;U.S. and foreign trade policies affecting steel imports or exports; (iii)&nbsp;the sensitivity of the results of our
operations to prevailing steel prices and changes in the supply and cost of raw materials, including pig iron, iron ore and scrap steel; (iv)&nbsp;availability and cost of electricity and natural gas which could negatively affect our cost of steel
production or could result in a delay or cancelation of existing or future drilling within our natural gas drilling programs; (v)&nbsp;critical equipment failures and business interruptions; (vi)&nbsp;market demand for steel products, which, in the
case of many of our products, is driven by the level of nonresidential construction activity in the U.S.; (vii)&nbsp;impairment in the recorded value of inventory, equity investments, fixed assets, goodwill or other long-lived assets;
(viii)&nbsp;uncertainties surrounding the global economy, including the severe economic downturn in construction markets and excess world capacity for steel production; (ix)&nbsp;fluctuations in currency conversion rates; (x)&nbsp;significant
changes in laws or government regulations affecting environmental compliance, including legislation and regulations that result in greater regulation of greenhouse gas emissions that could increase our energy costs and our capital expenditures and
operating costs or cause one or more of our permits to be revoked or make it more difficult to obtain permit modifications; (xi)&nbsp;the cyclical nature of the steel industry; (xii)&nbsp;capital investments and their impact on our performance; and
(xiii)&nbsp;our safety performance. Additional information regarding the risks and uncertainties which may affect our business operations and financial performance can be found in our filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. </P>

subsidiaries, the cash flow and our consequent ability to service our debt, including the debt securities, are dependent, in part, upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to us or upon loans or other payments of
funds by those subsidiaries to us. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. They have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on the debt securities or to make any funds available for our payment of any
amounts due on the debt securities, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. In addition, our subsidiaries&#146; payments of dividends and making of loans and advances to us may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions and are
