$650,000,000 4.300% Notes due 2062
We are offering $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 3.900% Notes due 2032 (the “2032 notes”), $850,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.150% Notes due 2053 (the “2053 notes”), and $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.300% Notes due 2062 (the “2062 notes” and, together with the 2032 notes and the 2053 notes, the “notes”).
The 2032 notes will mature on June 15, 2032, the 2053 notes will mature on June 15, 2053, and the 2062 notes will mature on June 15, 2062. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus supplement. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption” in this prospectus supplement. We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The first interest payment will be made on June 15, 2022. The notes will be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and $1,000 multiples above that amount. For a more detailed description of the notes, see “Description of the Notes” in this prospectus supplement.
The notes will be our general unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with our other current and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt, but effectively will be junior to any current and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that debt. The notes also effectively will be subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries to the extent of our subsidiaries’ assets. See “Description of the Notes.”
Investing in the notes involves risk. See “Risk Factors” on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference herein, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports that we subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the notes or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
