On March 23, 2026, the company entered into an Underwriting Agreement to issue and sell a total of $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, split between $500 million of 4.60% Senior Notes due 2031 and $1 billion of 5.15% Senior Notes due 2036. The offering, which is expected to close on March 26, 2026, is registered under a shelf registration statement filed in May 2024 and utilizes a related prospectus supplement dated March 23, 2026.
