Optional Redemption:	Prior to December 1, 2028, we may redeem the notes at our option, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) the present value at such time of (x) the redemption price of such note at December 1, 2028 (such redemption price as described in the table below for such notes) multiplied by the principal amount of such note plus (y) all required interest payments due on such note to December 1, 2028 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to such redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points; and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed; plus, in either case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On or after December 1, 2028, we may redeem the notes at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on December 1 of the years set forth below:

Trade Date:	November 20, 2025

	It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the third business day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the date that is one business day preceding the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes during such period should consult their own advisor.
