PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated May 26, 2023)
$500,000,000 6.875%
Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate
Junior Subordinated Notes
due 2054
We are offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 6.875%
Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054 (the notes).
The notes offered hereby will constitute a further issuance of our 6.875%
Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054, of which $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount was issued on March 14, 2024 and is outstanding as of
the date of this prospectus supplement (the existing notes). The notes offered hereby and the existing notes will constitute a single series of our junior subordinated debt securities under the indenture referred to in this prospectus
supplement. Accordingly, the notes offered hereby will (i) have the same terms as the existing notes (except for the date of original issuance and the initial offering price), (ii) have the same CUSIP number as the existing notes, and
(iii) be fungible with the existing notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Upon the issuance of the notes offered hereby, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054 will be $1,100,000,000.
The notes
will bear interest (i) from and including March 14, 2024 (the original issue date) to, but excluding, October 1, 2029 at the rate of 6.875% per annum and (ii) from and including October 1, 2029, during each Reset
Period (as defined herein) at a rate per annum equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined herein) as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination Date (as defined herein) plus a spread of 2.789%, to be reset on each Reset Date (as
defined herein), and will mature on October 1, 2054. Interest on the notes will accrue from and including the original issue date and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning
on October 1, 2024.
So long as no event of default (as defined herein) with respect to the notes has occurred and is continuing, we
may, at our option, defer interest payments on the notes, from time to time, for one or more deferral periods of up to 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods (as defined herein) each. During any deferral period, interest on the notes
will continue to accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the notes (as reset from time to time on any Reset Date occurring during such deferral period in accordance with the terms of the notes) and, in addition, interest on deferred interest
will accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the notes (as reset from time to time on any Reset Date occurring during such deferral period in accordance with the terms of the notes), compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by
applicable law. See Description of the NotesOption to Defer Interest Payments.
The notes will be issued in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
At our option, we may redeem notes at the times and at the
applicable redemption prices described in this prospectus supplement. The notes will be our unsecured obligations and will rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of our existing and future Senior Indebtedness
(as defined herein). The notes will rank equally in right of payment with our existing $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate
Junior Subordinated Notes due 2052 and $758 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2079 and with any future unsecured indebtedness that we may incur from time to time if the terms of such indebtedness provide
that it ranks equally with the notes in right of payment.
We do not intend to apply for the listing or trading of the notes on any
securities exchange or trading facility or for inclusion of the notes in any automated quotation system.
Investing in
the notes involves risks. See the Risk Factors beginning on page S-12 of this prospectus supplement.
