01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 23, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

CSX Corporation has announced the completion of a public offering of $300 milliona in aggregate principal amount of 5.050% Notes due 2035.

This issuance represents a "tacked on" or "further" issuance, meaning these new notes will be fungible with and form a single series with the previously issued $600 millionb of the same notes from March 10, 2025. The offering was made under the company's effective shelf registration statement filed earlier in 2025 and was completed on October 19, 2025, with the filing made on October 22, 2025. This action primarily concerns the company's debt structure and its ability to raise capital.

Investors should note that this issuance increases CSX's total outstanding debt under this specific note series to $900 millionc. The stated interest rate of 5.050% is consistent with the prior issuance, indicating no change in borrowing cost for this tranche.

The company's CFO, Sean R. Pelkey, signed off on this report, underscoring the financial nature of this disclosure.
