Optional Redemption: |

Prior to August 20, 2025 (the “2025 par call date”), the notes will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
· 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed; and |
|
|
|
· the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes to be redeemed that would be due if the notes matured on the par call date,
together with accrued interest to the date of redemption.
The present value will be determined by discounting the remaining principal and interest payments to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), using the applicable rate of T+15 bps.
At any time on or after the 2025 par call date the notes will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed on that redemption date, together with, in each case, accrued interest to the date of redemption. |
