          <font style="letter-spacing:0.16pt;">We are offering $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;). The Notes will mature on August 15, 2035. From and including the date of original issuance to, but excluding, August 15, 2030, or the date of earlier redemption, the Notes will bear interest at a fixed annual interest rate of 7.00% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2026. From and including August 15, 2030, to, but excluding, August 15, 2035 or the date of earlier redemption, the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate (which is expected to be Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined herein)) plus a spread of basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August&#160;15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2030. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Three-Month Term SOFR is less than zero, then Three-Month Term SOFR shall be deemed to be zero. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.16pt;">We may, at our option, redeem the Notes (i)&#160;in whole or in part beginning with the interest payment date of August 15, 2030, and on any interest payment date thereafter or (ii)&#160;in whole but not in part upon the occurrence of a &#8220;Tax Event,&#8221; a &#8220;Tier 2 Capital Event&#8221; or Southside Bancshares, Inc. becoming required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#8220;1940 Act&#8221;). The redemption price for any redemption is 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any early redemption of the Notes will be subject to the receipt of the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the &#8220;Federal Reserve&#8221;) to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations. </font>

The Notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities and obligations of our subsidiaries, including the deposit liabilities and claims of other creditors of our bank subsidiary, Southside Bank. The Notes will rank equally in right of payment with our existing $100.0&#160;million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the &#8220;2030 Subordinated Notes&#8221;). The Notes will be obligations of Southside Bancshares, Inc. only and will not be obligations of, and will not be guaranteed by, any of our subsidiaries. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about August&#160;14, 2025, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Notes, or &#8220;T+5.&#8221; Under Rule&#160;15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;), 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 before the date that is one business day prior to the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors. </font>

In the following discussion of the secured overnight financing rate (as further described in the &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Description of the Notes</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">,&#8221; the &#8220;SOFR&#8221;), when we refer to SOFR-linked subordinated notes, we mean the Notes at any time when the interest rate on the Notes is or will be determined based on SOFR, including Three-Month Term SOFR. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">SOFR is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (&#8220;FRBNY&#8221;) and is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. FRBNY reports that SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate, plus bilateral U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement (&#8220;repo&#8221;) transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (the &#8220;FICC&#8221;), a subsidiary of The Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (&#8220;DTCC&#8221;). SOFR is filtered by FRBNY to remove a portion of the foregoing transactions considered to be &#8220;specials.&#8221; According to FRBNY, &#8220;specials&#8221; are repos for specific-issue collateral which take place at cash-lending rates below those for general collateral repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash in order to obtain a particular security. </font>

It is currently anticipated that Three-Month Term SOFR, for purposes of the Notes, will be based on the CME Group&#8217;s forward-looking SOFR term rates with a tenor of three&#160;months.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, in part because it is considered a representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, SOFR does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR a suitable replacement or successor for all of the purposes for which LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to maintain wide market acceptance could adversely affect the return on and value of the Notes and the price at which investors can sell the Notes in the secondary market. </font>

        <div style="margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;font-weight:bold;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">SOFR may be more volatile than other benchmark or market rates.</font><font style="font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:0.2pt;"> </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in the rate have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or market rates, and SOFR over time may bear little or no relation to the historical actual or historical indicative data. In addition, the return on and value of the SOFR-linked subordinated notes may fluctuate more than floating rate securities that are linked to other rates. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Changes in SOFR could adversely affect the amount of interest that accrues on the SOFR-linked subordinated notes and the trading prices for the SOFR-linked subordinated notes.</font><font style="font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:0.2pt;"> </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Because SOFR is published by FRBNY based on data received from other sources, we have no control over its determination, calculation or publication. There can be no assurance that SOFR will not be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of investors in the SOFR-linked subordinated notes. If the manner in which SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in a reduction in the amount of interest that accrues on the SOFR-linked subordinated notes, which may adversely affect the trading prices of the SOFR-linked subordinated notes. In addition, the interest rate on the SOFR-linked subordinated notes for any day will not be adjusted for any modification or amendment to SOFR for that day that FRBNY may publish if the interest rate for that day has already been determined prior to such publication. Further, if the Benchmark rate on the SOFR-linked subordinated notes during the floating rate period for any interest period declines to zero or becomes negative, interest will only accrue on the SOFR-linked subordinated notes at a rate equal to the spread of 3.57% per annum with respect to that interest period. There is no assurance that changes in SOFR could not have a material adverse effect on the yield on, value of and market for the SOFR-linked subordinated notes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">During the fixed rate period, the Notes will bear interest at an initial rate of 7.00% per annum. Thereafter, the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark rate (which is expected to be Three-Month Term SOFR) plus 357 basis points, subject to the provisions under &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Description of the Notes&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Interest</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&#8221; The per annum interest rate that is determined at the reference time for each interest period will apply to the entire quarterly interest period following such determination date even if the Benchmark rate increases during that period. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Floating rate notes bear additional significant risks not associated with fixed rate debt securities. These risks include fluctuation of the interest rates and the possibility that you will receive an amount of interest that is lower than expected. We have no control over a number of matters that may impact prevailing interest rates, including, without limitation, economic, financial, and political events that are important in determining the existence, magnitude, and longevity of market volatility, and other risks and their impact on the value of, or payments made on, the Notes. In recent&#160;years, interest rates have been volatile, and that volatility may be expected in the future. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The interest rate to be borne by the Notes is based on a spread over SOFR or, if the calculation agent determines prior to the relevant reference time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, upon the applicable Benchmark Replacement. Changes in SOFR or such Benchmark Replacement will affect the rate at which the Notes accrue interest and the amount of interest payments on the Notes.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under the benchmark transition provisions of the Notes, if the calculation agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, then the interest rate on the Notes during the floating rate period will be determined using the next-available Benchmark Replacement (which may include a related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment (as defined under &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Description of the Notes&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Interest</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;)). However, the Benchmark Replacement may not be the economic equivalent of Three-Month Term SOFR. For example, Compounded SOFR (as defined under &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Description of the Notes&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Effect of Benchmark Transition Event</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;), the first available Benchmark Replacement, is the compounded average of SOFRs for the applicable Corresponding Tenor (as defined under &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Description of the Notes&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Interest</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;), with the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate being established by the calculation agent as described in the section titled &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Description of the Notes</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">,&#8221; while Three-Month Term SOFR is intended to be a forward-looking rate with a tenor of three&#160;months. In addition, very limited market precedent exists for securities that use Compounded SOFR as the rate basis, and the method for calculating Compounded SOFR in those precedents varies. Further, the ISDA Fallback Rate (as defined under &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Description of the Notes</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;), which is another Benchmark Replacement, has not yet been established and may change over time. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under the benchmark transition provisions of the Notes, if a particular Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment cannot be determined, then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected or formulated by (i)&#160;the Federal Reserve and/or the FRBNY, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve and/or the FRBNY or any successor thereto (&#8220;Relevant Governmental Body&#8221;) (such as the ARRC), (ii)&#160;International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., or any successor thereto, or (iii)&#160;in certain circumstances, the calculation agent. In addition, the benchmark transition provisions expressly authorize the calculation agent to make certain changes, which are defined in the terms of the Notes as &#8220;Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes,&#8221; with respect to, among other things, the determination of interest periods, and the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest. The application of a Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, could result in adverse consequences to the amount of interest that accrues on the Notes during the floating rate period, which could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the Notes. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of any Benchmark Replacement will be similar to the then-current Benchmark that it is replacing, or that any Benchmark Replacement will produce the economic equivalent of the then-current Benchmark that it is replacing. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Also, since SOFR is a relatively new market index, SOFR-linked debt securities likely will have no established trading market when issued, and an established trading market for the SOFR-linked subordinated notes may never develop or may not be very liquid. Market terms for securities that are linked to SOFR, such as the spread over the base rate reflected in the interest rate provisions, may evolve over time, and as a result, trading prices of the SOFR-linked subordinated notes may be lower than those of later-issued securities that are linked to SOFR. Similarly, if SOFR does not prove to be widely used in securities that are similar or comparable to the SOFR-linked subordinated notes, the trading price of the SOFR-linked subordinated notes may be lower than those of securities that are linked to rates that are more widely used.

In addition, at any time at which any Notes remain outstanding, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, to the extent that such approval is then required, we may redeem the Notes in whole but not in part upon the occurrence of (i)&#160;a &#8220;Tier 2 Capital Event,&#8221; &#8203;(ii)&#160;a &#8220;Tax Event&#8221; or (iii)&#160;if we are required to register as an investment company pursuant to the 1940 Act. In the event that we redeem the Notes, holders of the Notes will receive only the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such earlier redemption date. If any redemption occurs, holders of the Notes will not have the opportunity to continue to accrue and be paid interest to the Maturity Date. Any such redemption may have the effect of reducing the income or return that you may receive on an investment in the Notes by reducing the term of the investment. If this occurs, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at an interest rate comparable to the rate paid on the Notes.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We are a legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiaries, who do not guarantee the Notes. While we, as a holding company, are required to maintain cash positions for our liquidity at the holding company level, our ability to pay dividends, cover operating expenses, and service our debt, including the Notes, depends upon the dividends from our bank subsidiary. For the quarter ended June&#160;30, 2025, our interest expense on our debt obligations was $2.0&#160;million (holding company only). </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Federal and state banking regulations limit dividends from our bank subsidiary to us. Generally, banks are prohibited from paying dividends when doing so would cause them to fall below regulatory minimum capital levels. Additionally, limits exist on banks paying dividends in excess of net income for specified periods. The total amount available for payment of dividends by our bank subsidiary was approximately $47.8&#160;million at June&#160;30, 2025, based on our bank subsidiary maintaining enough capital to be considered well capitalized and other regulatory restrictions on subsidiary bank dividend payments. For the six&#160;months ended June&#160;30, 2025, our bank subsidiary paid no dividends to us from 2025 earnings. In addition, federal bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit our bank subsidiary from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business. The payment of dividends or other transfers of funds to us, depending on the financial condition of the bank, could be deemed an unsafe or unsound practice. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Dividend payments from our bank subsidiary would also be prohibited under the &#8220;prompt corrective action&#8221; regulations of federal bank regulators if the bank subsidiary is, or after payment of such dividends would be, undercapitalized under such regulations. In addition, our bank subsidiary is subject to restrictions under federal law that limit their ability to transfer funds or other items of value to us and our non-bank subsidiaries, including affiliates, whether in the form of loans and other extensions of credit, investments and asset purchases, or as other transactions involving the transfer of value. Unless an exemption applies, these transactions by our bank subsidiary with us are limited to 10% of the bank subsidiary&#8217;s capital stock and surplus and, with respect to all such transactions with affiliates in the aggregate, to 20% of the bank subsidiary&#8217;s capital stock and surplus. As of June&#160;30, 2025, a maximum of approximately $80.1&#160;million was available to us from our bank subsidiary pursuant to these limitations. Moreover, loans and extensions of credit by our bank subsidiary to its affiliates, including us, generally are required to be secured in specified amounts. A bank&#8217;s transactions with its non-bank affiliates also are required generally to be on arm&#8217;s-length terms. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Notes are a new issuance of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any national securities exchange or for quotation of the Notes on any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriter has advised us that it presently intends to make a market in the Notes. However, it is under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market making activities at any time in its sole discretion and without any notice. A liquid or active trading market for the Notes may not develop. If an active trading market for the Notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. If the Notes offered hereby are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our performance and other factors. </font>

These factors include the method of calculating the principal, premium, if any, interest or other amounts payable, if any, on the Notes; the time remaining to the maturity of the Notes; the ranking of the Notes; the redemption features of the Notes; the outstanding amount of Notes with terms identical to the Notes offered hereby; the prevailing interest rates being paid by other companies similar to us; changes in U.S. interest rates; whether the ratings on the Notes or us provided by any rating agency have changed; our financial condition, financial performance and future prospects; the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally; general economic conditions of the capital markets in the United States; and geopolitical conditions and other financial, political, regulatory, and judicial events that affect the capital markets generally. The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated significantly in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future.

The Notes are obligations of SBSI only and are neither obligations of, nor guaranteed by, any of our subsidiaries. The Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, which means that creditors of our subsidiaries (including, in the case of Southside Bank, its depositors) generally will be paid from those subsidiaries&#8217; assets before holders of the Notes would have any claims to those assets. Even if we become a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of that subsidiary and any debt of that subsidiary senior to that held by us, and our rights could otherwise be subordinated to the rights of other creditors and depositors of that subsidiary. Furthermore, none of our subsidiaries is under any obligation to make payments to us, and any payments to us depend on the earnings or financial condition of our subsidiaries and various business considerations. Statutory, contractual or other restrictions also limit our subsidiaries&#8217; ability to pay dividends or make distributions, loans or advances to us. For these reasons, we may not have access to any assets or cash flows of our subsidiaries to make interest and principal payments on the Notes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The published credit ratings of us or our indebtedness are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. These ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the Notes, inasmuch as the ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor, are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the Notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. The published credit ratings assigned to the Notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure and other factors on any trading market for, or trading value of, the Notes. Accordingly, you should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of your particular circumstances. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Rating agencies also continuously evaluate us and our subsidiaries, and their ratings of our and Southside Bank&#8217;s long-term and short-term debt are based on a number of factors, including financial strength, as well as factors not entirely within our and Southside Bank&#8217;s control, such as conditions affecting the financial services industry generally. In light of these reviews and the continued focus on the financial services industry generally, we and Southside Bank may not be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Ratings downgrades by a rating agency could have a significant and immediate impact on our funding and liquidity through cash obligations, reduced funding capacity and collateral triggers. A reduction in our or Southside Bank&#8217;s credit ratings could also increase our and Southside Bank&#8217;s borrowing costs and limit access to the capital markets. These changes could have a material adverse impact on the value of and market for the Notes. </font>

Additionally, we could be adversely affected by a general, negative perception of financial institutions caused by the downgrade of other financial institutions. Accordingly, ratings downgrades for other financial institutions could affect the market price of our stock and could limit our access to or increase our cost of capital. These changes could have a material adverse impact on the value of and market for the Notes. </font>

In making the required determinations, decisions and elections, we or an affiliate of ours acting as calculation agent may have economic interests that are adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes, and those determinations, decisions or elections could have a material adverse effect on the yield on, value of and market for the Notes.

At November&#160;15, 2025, the 2030 Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is currently Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Subordinated Notes) plus a spread of 366 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on February&#160;15, May&#160;15, August&#160;15 and November&#160;15 of each year, commencing on November&#160;15, 2025. The 2030 Subordinated Notes are scheduled to mature on November&#160;15, 2030. Prior to November&#160;15, 2025, we may redeem the 2030 Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the indenture governing the 2030 Subordinated Notes. On or after November&#160;15, 2025, we may elect to early redeem the 2030 Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, on any future interest payment date (February&#160;15, May&#160;15, August&#160;15 and November&#160;15 of each year) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest, subject to regulatory approval to the extent such regulatory approval is then required. We may determine not to redeem the 2030 Subordinated Notes on November&#160;15, 2025 or to redeem only a portion of the 2030 Subordinated Notes on November&#160;15, 2025 or to redeem the 2030 Subordinated Notes at a later date. This prospectus supplement is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell the 2030 Subordinated Notes. In addition, the redemption will be made solely pursuant to a redemption notice delivered pursuant to the indenture governing such existing 2030 Subordinated Notes, and nothing contained in this prospectus supplement constitutes a notice of redemption of the 2030 Subordinated Notes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">DTC has advised us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a &#8220;banking organization&#8221; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#8220;clearing corporation&#8221; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#8220;clearing agency&#8221; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&#160;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between participants&#8217; accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation, which, in turn, is owned by a number of direct participants of DTC. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, referred to as indirect participants, such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a direct or indirect custodial relationship with a direct participant. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#8217;s records. The ownership interest of each beneficial owner of securities will be recorded on the direct or indirect participants&#8217; records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Under a book-entry format, holders may experience some delay in their receipt of payments, as such payments will be forwarded by the Depositary to Cede &amp; Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC will forward the payments to its participants, who will then forward them to indirect participants or holders. Beneficial owners of securities other than DTC or its nominees will not be recognized by the relevant registrar, transfer agent, paying agent, or trustee as registered holders of the securities entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. Beneficial owners that are not participants will be permitted to exercise their rights only indirectly through and according to the procedures of participants and, if applicable, indirect participants. </font>

The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede &amp; Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities; DTC&#8217;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </font>

If less than all of the securities of any class are being redeemed, then DTC will determine the amount of the interest of each direct participant to be redeemed in accordance with its then current procedures. </font>

Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#8220;street name,&#8221; and will be the responsibility of that participant and not of DTC, the Depositary, the issuer, the Trustee or any of their agents, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede &amp; Co.

Payments, transfers, deliveries, exchanges, redemptions, and other matters relating to beneficial interests in Global Notes may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by DTC from time to time.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the ownership and disposition of the Notes acquired in this offering. This summary is not a complete analysis of all of the tax considerations relating to the Notes. This summary is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;Code&#8221;), Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and administrative rulings and judicial decisions. These authorities may be changed or subject to differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect, which could result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. Additionally, we have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (the &#8220;IRS&#8221;) regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will accept or agree with the positions concerning the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the Notes set forth below. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">This summary is limited to beneficial owners (referred to in this summary as holders) of the Notes that purchase the Notes upon their initial issuance at their &#8220;issue price&#8221; &#8203;(i.e., the first price at which a substantial amount of the Notes is sold for cash to investors (excluding sales to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity as underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers)) and that will hold the Notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section&#160;1221 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be applicable to holders&#8217; particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as, for example: (1)&#160;holders subject to the alternative minimum tax; (2)&#160;banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions; (3)&#160;real estate investment trusts; (4)&#160;controlled foreign corporations; (5)&#160;passive foreign investment companies and regulated investment companies and shareholders of such corporations; (6)&#160;tax-exempt organizations; (7)&#160;qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, and other deferred compensation arrangements; (8)&#160;governmental entities; (9)&#160;brokers and dealers in securities or commodities; (10) certain U.S. expatriates; (11) traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; (12) U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; (13) persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section&#160;451 of the Code; (14)&#160;persons that will hold the Notes as a position in a hedging transaction, wash sale, straddle, conversion transaction, or other risk reduction or synthetic transaction; and (15) entities or arrangements classified as partnerships or S corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other pass-through entities and owners of such entities. In addition, this summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxes. Further, this summary does not address the consequences under any U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws, such as U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws, and does not address the consequences under the tax laws of any state, local, or foreign jurisdiction. </font>

          <font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Payments of interest and original discount on the Notes</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Notes initially will bear interest at a fixed annual rate. From and including August 15, 2030, the Notes will bear interest at the Benchmark rate, which is expected to be the Three-Month Term SOFR, plus a fixed spread. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The taxation of U.S. holders of the Notes depends in part on whether the Notes qualify as &#8220;variable rate debt instruments&#8221; for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, a debt instrument will qualify as a &#8220;variable rate debt instrument&#8221; if (i)&#160;its issue price does not exceed the total noncontingent principal payments due under the debt instrument by more than a specified de minimis amount, (ii)&#160;the debt instrument provides for stated interest, paid or compounded at least annually, at current values of a single fixed rate and one or more qualified floating rates, (iii)&#160;the debt instrument provides that a qualified floating rate in effect at any time during the term of the instrument is set at a current value of that rate, and (iv)&#160;the debt instrument does not provide for any principal payments that are contingent (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations). A &#8220;qualified floating rate&#8221; is any variable rate where variations in the value of such rate can reasonably be expected to measure contemporaneous variations in the cost of newly borrowed funds in the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We expect that the Benchmark rate (whether the Three-Month Term SOFR or another rate determined in accordance with this prospectus supplement) plus a fixed spread will meet the qualifications for being a qualified floating rate and the Notes will meet the requirements for being variable rate debt instruments. Therefore, we intend to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under this characterization, payments treated as qualified stated interest on the Notes generally will be taxable to U.S. holders as ordinary interest income at the time such interest payments are accrued or received depending on the U.S. holder&#8217;s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Qualified stated interest generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash at least annually at a single fixed rate, but, as discussed below, special rules are applicable to a variable rate debt instrument. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In addition to qualified stated interest, a U.S. holder (regardless of its method of tax accounting) will be required to include original issue discount in ordinary income as it accrues on the Notes. Subject to the special rules for variable rate debt instruments described below, original issue discount accrues in accordance with a constant yield method based on a compounding of interest. Any amounts included in income as original issue discount with respect to a Note will increase a U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted income tax basis in the Note. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">For U.S. federal income tax purposes, &#8220;original issue discount&#8221; is the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of a debt instrument over its issue price if such excess equals or exceeds a specified de minimis amount (generally 1&#8725;4 of 1% of the debt instrument&#8217;s stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete&#160;years to maturity of such debt instrument). The &#8220;issue price&#8221; of an issue of debt instruments equals the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt instruments has been sold (ignoring sales to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers). The &#8220;stated redemption price at maturity&#8221; of a debt instrument is the sum of all payments provided by the debt instrument other than payments of qualified stated interest. </font>

        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under Treasury Regulations, to determine the amount of qualified stated interest and original issue discount in respect of a variable rate debt instrument, an equivalent fixed rate debt instrument must be constructed. The equivalent fixed rate debt instrument is a hypothetical instrument that has terms that are identical to those of the variable rate debt instrument, except that the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument provides for fixed rate substitutes in lieu of the actual rates on the variable rate debt instrument. The equivalent fixed rate debt instrument of a variable rate debt instrument, such as the Notes, that has an initial fixed rate followed by one or more qualified floating rates is constructed in the following fashion: (i)&#160;first, the initial fixed rate is replaced with a qualified floating rate such that the fair market value of the Notes as of the Notes&#8217; issue date would be approximately the same as the fair market value of an otherwise identical debt instrument that provides for the replacement qualified floating rate rather than the fixed rate, and (ii)&#160;second, each floating rate (including the floating rate determined under (i)&#160;above) is converted into a fixed rate substitute (which, in each case, generally will be the value of each floating rate as of the issue date of the Notes). </font>

For each accrual period, appropriate adjustments will be made to the amount of qualified stated interest or original issue discount assumed to have been accrued or paid with respect to the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument in the event that such amounts differ from the actual amount of interest accrued or paid on the Notes during the accrual period. </font>

        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Treasury Regulations provide special rules for determining the yield and maturity of a debt instrument, such as the Notes, that provide an issuer with the option to redeem the instrument at specified times. The Treasury Regulations generally deem an issuer to exercise (or not exercise) a redemption option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is issued with original issue discount. Under the terms of the Notes, if the initial fixed rate substitute on the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument (as determined in the manner described above) is greater than the fixed rate substitute of the floating rate (as determined in the manner described above), the Notes will be presumed not to be redeemed and original issue discount with respect to the Notes will be calculated as described above. If, however, the initial fixed rate substitute on the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument (as determined in the manner described above) is less than the fixed rate substitute of the floating rate (as determined in the manner described above), the yield on the Notes will be minimized if the Notes are redeemed immediately before the change in the interest rate on August 15, 2030, and, therefore, the Notes will be treated as maturing on such date for original issue discount purposes. This assumption is made solely for purposes of determining whether the Notes are issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not an indication of our intention to redeem or not to redeem the Notes at any time. If, contrary to this presumption, the Notes are not redeemed prior to the change in the interest rate on August 15, 2030, then, solely for original issue discount purposes, the Notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted issue price on the date that they are not redeemed. This deemed reissuance should not result in taxable gain or loss to U.S. holders. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Based on current market conditions and the manner in which the interest rates on the Notes are determined, we expect that when the foregoing calculations are completed, the Notes will be presumed to remain outstanding until maturity and have no original issue discount or will have de minimis original issue discount that can be disregarded and that, therefore, all interest payable on the Notes will be treated as qualified stated interest. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:12pt; margin-top:12pt; text-align:justify; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Sale, retirement, or other taxable disposition of Notes</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the sale, retirement, or other taxable disposition of a Note (including early redemption of a Note), a U.S. holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition (except to the extent any amount realized is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be treated as a payment of interest) and the U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted income tax basis in the Note. Assuming the Notes are not treated as issued with original issue discount, a U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted income tax basis in a Note generally will be its cost to the U.S. holder less any payment (other than qualified stated interest) made on the Note. Gain or loss recognized on the disposition of a Note generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the disposition, the U.S. holder&#8217;s holding period for the Note is more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are generally eligible for preferential rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. </font>

          <font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Contingent Payment Debt Obligation</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Notes do not qualify as &#8220;variable rate debt instruments&#8221; under the above rules and the applicable Treasury Regulations, then the Notes would be treated as a contingent payment debt obligations and would be governed by certain Treasury regulations, which we refer to as the &#8220;CPDI Regulations,&#8221; concerning the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of contingent payment debt instruments. In general, the CPDI Regulations would cause the timing and character of income, gain or loss reported on a contingent payment debt instrument to substantially differ from the timing and character of income, gain or loss reported on a conventional noncontingent payment debt instrument under current U.S. federal income tax law. Specifically, the CPDI Regulations generally require a U.S. holder of such an instrument to include future contingent and noncontingent interest payments in income as such interest accrues based upon a projected payment schedule. Moreover, in general, under the CPDI Regulations, any gain recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale, exchange, or retirement of a contingent payment debt instrument </font>

U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of the net investment income tax in their particular circumstances. </font>

          <font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Information reporting and backup withholding</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, we as a payor are required to report to the IRS all payments of principal and interest on the Notes. In addition, we are required to report to the IRS any payment of proceeds of the sale of the Notes before maturity within the United States. Backup withholding (currently at the rate of 24%) will generally apply to any payments if a U.S. holder fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to a payor. Backup withholding will also apply if a U.S. holder is notified by the IRS that the U.S. holder is subject to backup withholding because of its failure to report payment of interest and dividends properly or if the U.S. holder otherwise fails to comply with the applicable backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder may be allowed as a credit against such U.S. holder&#8217;s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such U.S. holder to a refund; </font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">provided</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">, the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. </font>

In the case of payments made to a &#8220;foreign financial institution&#8221; &#8203;(as defined in section 1471(d)(4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), subject to certain exceptions, the tax will generally be imposed unless the foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department to collect and disclose certain information regarding its U.S. account holders (including certain account holders that are foreign entities that have U.S. owners) and satisfies certain other requirements or is deemed to be compliant with the requirements of FATCA, pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA or otherwise. In the case of payments made to certain other non-U.S. entities, the tax generally will be imposed unless such entity provides the payor with certain information regarding certain direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity or certifies that it has no such U.S. owners and complies with certain other requirements. No additional amounts will be payable on account of any withholding obligation that is imposed with respect to payments on the Notes as a result of the failure of any holder or beneficial owner of a Note, or any intermediary through which it directly or indirectly owns such Note, to comply with the requirements of FATCA. </font>

The U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or &#8220;PTCEs,&#8221; that may provide exemptive relief, if required, for direct or indirect prohibited transactions that may arise from the purchase or holding of the Notes, or any interest therein. These exemptions include PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (for transactions involving certain insurance company general accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (for transactions managed by in-house asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section&#160;408(b)(17) and Section&#160;4975(d)(20) of the Code (the &#8220;service provider exemption&#8221;) may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of the Notes by a Plan or a Plan&#160;Asset Entity provided that (i)&#160;the issuer of the Notes is not a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to an investing Plan other than by reason of providing services to the Plan or a relationship to a service provider, (ii)&#160;neither the issuer of the Notes nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the Plan involved in the transaction, and provided further that (iii)&#160;the Plan pays no more and receives no less than &#8220;adequate consideration&#8221; in connection with the transaction.

Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes before the date that is one business day prior to the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors. </font>

A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the underwriter to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering if the Notes originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The laws of some jurisdictions may require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the debt securities represented by a book-entry debt security to those persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through participants, the ability of a person having an interest in debt securities represented by a book-entry debt security to pledge or transfer those interests to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC&#8217;s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a certificated debt security in respect of such interest. </font>

Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a book-entry debt security will not be entitled to have debt securities represented by that book-entry debt security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated debt securities and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable indenture or under the debt securities for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee. Accordingly, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a book-entry debt security must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that holder is not a direct or indirect participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of debt securities under the applicable indenture or a book-entry debt security. </font>

We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the book-entry debt security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice as is currently the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers.

In addition, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule&#160;144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule&#160;144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth in, the prospectus supplement.

The securities, other than the common stock, may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. </font>
