On February 24, 2025, CUSA and the Corporation entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., and J.P.

CUSA will pay interest on (i) the 2027 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2028 Fixed Rate Notes on February 26 and August 26 of each year starting on August 26, 2025, (ii) the 2030 Fixed Rate Notes, the 2032 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2035 Fixed Rate Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year starting on October 15, 2025, and (iii) the 2027 Floating Rate Notes and the 2028 Floating Rate Notes on February 26, May 26, August 26, and November 26 of each year starting on May 27, 2025. The 2027 Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to Compounded SOFR (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture) plus 0.36%, and the 2028 Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to Compounded SOFR plus 0.47%, in each case subject to the provisions set forth in the Final Prospectus Supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2025 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”). CUSA will have the right to redeem the fixed rate notes in whole or in part at any time prior to maturity at the redemption price described in the Final Prospectus Supplement. CUSA will not have the right to redeem the 2027 Floating Rate Notes or the 2028 Floating Rate Notes prior to maturity.
CUSA and the Corporation have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Prospectus dated November 7, 2024 (Registration Statement Nos. 333-283053 and 333-283053-01), a Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated February 24, 2025, a Free Writing Prospectus dated February 24, 2025, and a Final Prospectus Supplement dated February 24, 2025 in connection with the public offering and guarantee of the Notes.
