| Trade

Date:	June 4, 2020
Settlement Date:	June 15, 2020 (T+7) We expect to deliver the Notes against payment for the Notes on the 7th business day
following the pricing of the Notes (“T+7”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade
expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding four business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+7, to specify alternative
settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
Use of
Proceeds:	We expect to receive net proceeds of
approximately $2.473 billion from the sale of the Notes to the underwriters, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with available cash, to redeem or repurchase all of our outstanding 3.400% Senior Notes due
2021, 2.250% Senior Notes due 2021 and 4.875% Senior Notes due 2022.
