Interest on the Series QQ Notes
The Series QQ Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.350% per annum. Interest on the Series QQ Notes will accrue from August 12, 2024 and will be payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2025, to the person listed as the holder of the note, or any predecessor note, in the security register at the close of business on the preceding March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be. These dates are the “Regular Record Dates” for the Series QQ Notes.
If any interest payment date, stated maturity date or redemption or repurchase date for the Series QQ Notes is not a business day, the payment otherwise required to be made on such date will be made on the next business day without any additional payment as a result of such delay.
The Trustee
The Trustee under the Indenture has two main roles. First, the Trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default on our obligations under our debt securities. There are some limitations on the extent to which the Trustee acts on your behalf, described below under “—Default and Related Matters—Remedies If an Event of Default Occurs.” Second, the Trustee performs administrative duties for us, such as sending you interest payments, sending you notices and transferring your debt securities to a new buyer if you sell.
