LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will act as joint book-running managers in connection with the public offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand if and to the extent necessary, to pay the purchase price for, and accrued and unpaid interest on, any and all of the Company's outstanding 4.400% senior notes 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), its 6.550% senior notes due 2037 (the "2037 Notes") and its 4.500% senior notes due 2048 (the "2048 Notes") validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to a cash tender offer announced separately today, and to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the tender offer.

To the extent that all of the outstanding 2026 Notes are not tendered and purchased in the tender offer, the Company may, but is not obligated to, use a portion of any remaining net proceeds from the offering to redeem all or a portion of the remaining 2026 Notes.

The notes are being offered pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Company's notes, nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
