The Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-267564) (the “Registration Statement”) dated as of September 22, 2022.

In connection with the offer and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated February 23, 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), and a Pricing Agreement, dated February 23, 2023 (the “Pricing Agreement”), each between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC , as Representatives of the Underwriters listed in Schedule I to the Pricing Agreement.  A form of the Underwriting Agreement is included as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement.  The Notes were issued under the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2001 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., successor to The Bank of New York, as trustee.  The Indenture and a form of the Notes are included as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to the Registration Statement.

The Company expects to use the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Notes to fund the repayment at maturity of its 3.650% notes due August 16, 2023 and its 3.700% notes due December 15, 2023, with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

For the relevant terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Pricing Agreement and the Notes, please refer to the Prospectus Supplement.
