The Tender Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 3, 2021 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). No tenders will be valid if submitted after the Expiration Date. Tendered Securities may be withdrawn from the Tender Offers at or prior to, but not after, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2021 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Withdrawal Deadline”). Holders must validly tender their Securities prior to or at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2021 (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the “Early Tender Date”), to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below), plus accrued interest. Holders of Securities who tender their Securities after the Withdrawal Deadline, but prior to the applicable Expiration Date, will be eligible to receive only the applicable late tender offer consideration, which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration, minus the Early Tender Payment (as defined below), plus accrued interest.

Subject to applicable law, the Company may increase or decrease the Aggregate Tender Cap at any time without extending the applicable Withdrawal Deadline or extending withdrawal rights. The applicable consideration (the “Total Consideration”) offered for the Securities will be a price per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer equal to an amount that would reflect, as of the date of purchase, a yield to the maturity date or the par call date, as applicable, determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Securities (the “Fixed Spread”) specified in the table above plus the applicable yield (the “Reference Yield”) based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above (as applicable to each series of Securities, the “Reference Security”) as quoted at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on November 19, 2021 (unless the Early Tender Date is extended), pursuant to the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Holders of any Securities that are validly tendered prior to or at the applicable Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration. The Total Consideration, as calculated using the Fixed Spread for each series of Securities set forth in the table above, is inclusive of the Early Tender Payment. Holders of any Securities that are validly tendered after the applicable Early Tender Date but prior to or at the applicable Expiration Date and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration minus an amount in cash (the “Early Tender Payment”) equal to the applicable amount set forth in the table above. In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, all Holders of Securities accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will, on the Final Settlement Date (or the Early Settlement Date, if applicable) (each as defined below), also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date (or the Early Settlement Date, if applicable). The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any point following the Early Tender Date and prior to the Expiration Date, to accept for purchase any Securities validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date (the date of such acceptance and purchase, the “Early Settlement Date”). The Early Settlement Date is currently expected to be November 22, 2021, assuming the conditions to the Tender Offers have been either satisfied or waived by the Company at or prior to the Early Settlement Date. If the Company elects to have an Early Settlement Date, it will accept Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date. Irrespective of whether the Company chooses to exercise its option to have an Early Settlement Date, it will purchase any remaining Securities that have been validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase, subject to the Aggregate Tender Cap and subject to all conditions to the Tender Offers having been either satisfied or waived by the Company, promptly following the Expiration Date (the date of such acceptance and purchase, the “Final Settlement Date”). The Final Settlement Date is expected to occur on the second business day following the Expiration Date, assuming the conditions to the Tender Offers have been either satisfied or waived by the Company at or prior to the Expiration Date and outstanding Securities in an amount equal to the Aggregate Tender Cap are not purchased on the Early Settlement Date. The Tender Offers are subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the completion of one or more offerings of senior notes by the Company of at least $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount, which the Company expects to use to finance or refinance certain new or existing green projects, assets or activities (the “Financing Condition”). The Company intends to fund the purchase price of all Securities accepted for payment in

If the Financing Condition is not met, however, the Company expects to instead use cash on hand to finance or refinance such green projects, assets or activities. In that case, the Tender Offers may be canceled or reduced in size at the Company’s sole determination. Assuming $5 billion of bonds are tendered, Ford expects to incur a charge in the range of $1.0-1.2 billion for debt extinguishment. The final amount is dependent on market conditions and the specific bonds repurchased. The charge primarily represents a pull-ahead of interest obligations. As this item is not reflective of Ford’s ongoing operating activities, Ford expects to classify it as a special item in its fourth quarter results.
