The information in this pricing term sheet relates only to the Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering and should be read together with (i) the preliminary prospectus supplement dated October 28, 2024 relating to the Common Stock Offering (the “Common Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, (ii) the preliminary prospectus supplement dated October 28, 2024 relating to the Depositary Shares Offering (the “Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), including the documents incorporated by reference therein and (iii) the related base prospectus dated October 22, 2024, each filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registration No. 333-282628.

Pricing Date: | October 28, 2024. | |
Trade Date: | October 29, 2024 (“T”). | |
Settlement Date for the Common Stock Offering: | October 30, 2024 (T+1). | |
Settlement Date for the Depositary Shares Offering: | October 31, 2024 (T+2), which is the second business day following the trade date for the Depositary Shares (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+2”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 Depositary Shares prior to the business day preceding the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Depositary Shares initially will settle T+2, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Depositary Shares who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to the business day preceding the settlement date should consult their own advisors. | ||
Use of Proceeds: | The Issuer expects the net proceeds from (i) the Common Stock Offering to be approximately $15.81 billion (or approximately $18.18 billion if the underwriters of the Common Stock Offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional common stock) and (ii) the Depositary Shares Offering to be approximately $4.91 billion (or approximately $5.65 billion if the underwriters of the Depositary Shares Offering exercise in full their over-allotment option to purchase additional Depositary Shares), in each case, after deducting the applicable underwriting discounts and the Issuer’s estimated offering expenses totaling approximately $20.0 million. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of debt, additions to working capital, capital expenditures, and funding and investments in the Issuer’s subsidiaries. Net proceeds may be temporarily invested prior to use. See “Use of Proceeds” in the Common Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
