$200,000,000 6.050% Senior Notes due 2034

$400,000,000 6.050% Senior Notes due 2054

We are offering for sale an additional $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.050% senior notes due 2034 (the “new 2034 notes”), and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.050% senior notes due 2054 (the “2054 notes” and, together with the new 2034 notes, the “notes”). The new 2034 notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.050% per year, and the 2054 notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.050% per year. Interest on the new 2034 notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 each year, beginning on September 15, 2024. Interest on the 2054 notes is payable on June 5 and December 5 of each year, beginning on December 5, 2024. The new 2034 notes will mature on March 15, 2034. The 2054 notes will mature on June 5, 2054.

The new 2034 notes offered hereby constitute a further issuance of the 6.050% senior notes due 2034, of which $300,000,000 principal amount was issued on September 8, 2023 (the “existing 2034 notes”). The new 2034 notes offered hereby will form a single series with, and have the same terms as, the existing 2034 notes (other than the initial offering price and the issue date). Upon settlement, the new 2034 notes offered hereby will have the same CUSIP number and will trade interchangeably with the existing 2034 notes. Immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the new 2034 notes offered hereby, we will have $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.050% senior notes due 2034 outstanding.

We may redeem some or all of the notes at our option at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices described under the caption “Description of Notes – Optional Redemption” in this prospectus supplement. If we experience a Change of Control Repurchase Event, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes from holders at a purchase price described under the caption “Description of Notes—Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event” in this prospectus supplement.

The notes will be senior obligations of our company and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness from time to time outstanding.

We do not intend to make application to list the notes on any national securities exchange or to include them in any automated quotation system.

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-1 of this prospectus supplement and the risks discussed elsewhere or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, for discussions of certain risk factors that prospective investors should consider before investing in the notes.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The underwriters expect to deliver the notes to purchasers through the book-entry facilities of The Depository Trust Company against payment in New York, New York on or about June 5, 2024.

We urge you to carefully read the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents we have incorporated by reference before you make your investment decision. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer of the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the information we have previously filed with the SEC that we incorporate by reference is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates. If information in this prospectus supplement updates information in the accompanying prospectus, the information in the prospectus supplement will apply and will supersede that information in the accompanying prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the following risks, together with the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the risk factors discussed in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before deciding whether to make an investment in the notes. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in such risk factors below will not occur. If they do, or any additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those that we currently view to be immaterial occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our securities, including the notes, could decline, and you might lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to the Notes

The notes are effectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness and the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The notes are our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equal in right of payment to our other senior unsecured debt from time to time outstanding. The notes are not secured by any of our assets. Any claims of secured lenders with respect to assets securing their loans will be prior to any claim of the holders of the notes with respect to those assets.

Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities from us. Our subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or to provide us with funds to meet our payment obligations on the notes, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, any payment of dividends, loans or advances by our subsidiaries could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Payments to us by our subsidiaries will also be contingent upon the subsidiaries’ earnings and other business considerations. Our right to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries upon their bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors. In addition, even if we are a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our right as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our subsidiaries senior to that held by us.

The indenture does not restrict the amount of additional debt that we may incur.

The notes and indenture under which the notes will be issued do not place any limitation on the amount of unsecured debt that may be incurred by us. Our incurrence of additional debt may have important consequences for you as a holder of the notes, including making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes, a loss in the trading value of your notes, if any, and a risk that the credit rating of the notes is lowered or withdrawn.

If an active trading market does not develop for the notes, you may be unable to sell your notes or to sell your notes at a price that you deem sufficient.

The 2054 notes are a new issue of securities for which there currently is no established trading market. The new 2034 notes offered hereby will be a further issuance of, and will form a single series with, the 2034 existing notes. We do not intend to list the notes on a national securities exchange. While the underwriters of the notes have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes, the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may stop their market-making at any time. We have been advised by certain of the underwriters that they currently make a market in the existing 2034 notes. We cannot assure you:

S-1

In addition, the condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the notes.

We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, unless we have exercised our right to redeem the notes, each holder of notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. If we experience a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in “Description of Notes—Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event”), there can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the notes. Our failure to purchase the notes as required under the indenture governing the notes would result in a default under the indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. See “Description of Notes—Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to us from the sale of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement are expected to be approximately $598.8 million. We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

The following description of the particular terms of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement supplements, and to the extent inconsistent, replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities under “Description of Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus.

General

The $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 2034 notes offered hereby constitutes a further issuance of the existing 2034 notes, of which $300,000,000 principal amount was issued on September 8, 2023. The new 2034 notes offered hereby will form a single series with, and have the same terms as, the existing 2034 notes (other than the initial offering price and the issue date). Upon settlement, the new 2034 notes offered hereby will have the same CUSIP number and will trade interchangeably with the existing 2034 notes. Immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the new 2034 notes offered hereby, we will have $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.050% senior notes due 2034 outstanding.

The 2054 notes will initially be limited in aggregate principal amount to $400,000,000.

The notes will be senior securities as described in the accompanying prospectus. We will issue the notes under an indenture dated as of February 6, 2008 (the “Indenture”) between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association. The Indenture does not limit the amount of additional unsecured indebtedness ranking equally and ratably with the notes that we may incur. We may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, issue notes under the Indenture in addition, and with identical terms, to the notes offered by this prospectus supplement, except for the issue date, initial public offering price and, if applicable, the first interest payment date. The statements in this prospectus supplement concerning the notes and the Indenture are not complete and you should refer to the provisions in the Indenture, which are controlling. Whenever we refer to provisions of the Indenture, those provisions are incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference as a part of the statements we are making, and the statements are qualified in their entirety by these references.

Maturity

The new 2034 notes will mature on March 15, 2034, and the 2054 notes will mature on June 5, 2054.

Interest

The new 2034 notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.050% per year. Interest on the new 2034 notes will accrue from and including March 15, 2024. We will pay interest on the new 2034 notes on March 15 and September 15 of each year to the person in whose name such new 2034 note is registered at the close of business on the preceding March 1 or September 1, respectively, except that the interest payable on the maturity date, or, if applicable, upon redemption, will be payable to the person to whom the principal on the note is payable. We will make the first interest payment on the new 2034 notes on September 15, 2024.

The 2054 notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.050% per year. Interest on the 2054 notes will accrue from and including June 5, 2024. We will pay interest on the 2054 notes on June 5 and December 5 of each year to the person in whose name such 2054 note is registered at the close of business on the preceding May 20 or November 20, respectively, except that the interest payable on the maturity date, or, if applicable, upon redemption, will be payable to the person to whom the principal on the 2054 note is payable. We will make the first interest payment on the 2054 notes on December 5, 2024.

Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Payments of interest and principal will be made in United States dollars.

S-6

Ranking

The notes will be senior obligations of our company and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness.

Denominations

The authorized denominations of the notes will be $1,000 or any amount in excess of $1,000 which is an integral multiple of $1,000. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transaction.

Optional Redemption

The new 2034 notes will be redeemable, in whole at any time, or in part, from time to time, at our option, prior to December 15, 2033 (three months prior to the maturity date) (the “2034 Notes Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The 2054 notes will be redeemable, in whole at any time, or in part, from time to time, at our option, prior to December 5, 2053 (six months prior to the maturity date) (the “2054 Notes Par Call Date” and, together with the 2034 Notes Par Call Date, the “Par Call Dates” and each, a “Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In addition, at any time and from time to time, on and after the applicable Par Call Date, some or all of the notes offered hereby will be redeemable, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Treasury Rate will be determined by us or our designee (which will not be the trustee) after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government

S-7

securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, we or our designee will select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and will interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 will be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, we or our designee will calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, we or our designee will select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, then we or our designee will select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security will be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

We will provide notice of a redemption to holders of notes to be redeemed at least 10 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. If fewer than all of the notes are to be redeemed, the trustee will select, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the particular notes or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding notes not previously called by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate.

Calculation of the foregoing will be made by us or on our behalf by such person as we shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on such interest payment date, to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date in accordance with the notes and the Indenture.

We may at any time, and from time to time, purchase the notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise.

Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Indenture provides that each holder of notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

S-8

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurred, or at our option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, we will be required to provide a notice to each holder of notes, with a copy to the trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is provided, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if provided prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

Holders of notes electing to have notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the note completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their notes to the paying agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the paying agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by us and such third party purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the notes are rated Below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

S-9

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

“Continuing Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of our board of directors who:

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s); and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P).

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors.

“Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors, we may appoint a replacement for such Rating Agency that is reasonably acceptable to the trustee under the Indenture.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc., and its successors.

“Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of such Person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such Person.

Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The notes are not subject to defeasance or covenant defeasance.

Registration, Transfer and Exchange

We appointed the trustee as securities registrar for the purpose of registering the notes and transfers and exchanges of the notes and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, the notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the trustee.

S-10

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary is limited to describing the status of the offering of new 2034 notes as a “qualified reopening” of the existing 2034 notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes and does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the new 2034 notes or the 2054 notes, including, but not limited to, the U.S. federal tax considerations that are relevant to acquiring new 2034 notes at a premium. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with regards to the U.S. tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the new 2034 notes and the 2054 notes.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we intend to treat the new 2034 notes offered hereby as issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of the existing 2034 notes. If the issuance of the new 2034 notes offered hereby is so treated, then the new 2034 notes offered hereby will be deemed to have the same issue date, the same issue price and the same adjusted issue price as the existing 2034 notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The existing 2034 notes were issued at no more than a de minimis discount from their stated principal amount. As a result, the existing notes were treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as issued with de minimis original issue discount (“OID”) and, therefore, the additional notes offered hereby will also be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having been issued with de minimis OID.

S-11

UNDERWRITING

Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement with respect to the notes dated the date of this prospectus supplement, the underwriters named below, for whom BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are acting as representatives, have severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to them, severally, the principal amount of notes indicated in the following table:

The underwriters are offering the notes subject to their acceptance of the notes from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement if any are taken.

Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price of up to 0.400% of the principal amount of the new 2034 notes and 0.525% of the principal amount of the 2054 notes. Any such securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public offering price of up to 0.250% of the principal amount of the new 2034 notes, and 0.350% of the principal amount of the 2054 notes. After the initial public offering of the notes, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the representatives.

The following table shows the underwriting discounts that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the notes):

In order to facilitate the offering of the notes, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the prices of the notes. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in the notes for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the prices of the notes, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, notes on the open market. Finally, the underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the notes

S-12

in the offering, if the underwriters repurchase previously distributed notes in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the notes above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We have been advised by the underwriters that they intend to make a market in the notes but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes.

We estimate that our total expenses for this offering, not including the underwriting discounts, will be approximately $1.4 million.

Certain underwriters have performed certain investment banking and advisory services for us and our affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. Certain underwriters may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Certain affiliates of the underwriters are lenders under our bank credit facilities. In addition, the underwriters or their affiliates from time to time may hold outstanding debt securities issued by us. U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of the trustee under the Indenture.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Alternative Settlement Date

It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date specified on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the second business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+2”). Under Rule 15c6-1(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of this prospectus supplement will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+2, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any prospectus supplement delivered with this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference may contain statements that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are subject to the safe harbor provisions of those sections and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects, or future events. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would”, and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.

ii

The following factors, in addition to those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our other filings with the SEC, could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations expressed in forward-looking statements:

iii

Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis, judgment, belief or expectation only as of the date hereof. GATX has based these forward-looking statements on information currently available and disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

In addition, jointly with Rolls-Royce plc, we own one of the largest aircraft spare engine lease portfolios in the world. We report our financial results through three primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Portfolio Management. Historically, we also reported financial results for American Steamship Company (“ASC”) as a fourth segment. In 2020, we completed the sale of the ASC business and ASC is now reported as discontinued operations.

Rail North America primarily provides railcars pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes and insurance, and provides other ancillary services. Rail North America also owns a fleet of locomotives, consisting of four-axle and six-axle locomotives, and which are leased primarily to regional and short-line railroads, industrial users, and Class I railroads. Rail North America operates an extensive network of maintenance facilities in the United States and Canada dedicated to performing safe, timely, efficient, and high-quality railcar maintenance services for customers.

Rail International is composed of our operations in Europe (“GATX Rail Europe” or “GRE”), India (“Rail India”), and Russia (“Rail Russia”). GRE leases railcars to customers throughout Europe pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars and provides value-adding services according to customer requirements. GRE operates a maintenance facility in Ostróda, Poland that performs significant repairs, regulatory compliance and modernization work for owned railcars, and assembles railcars. Rail India began operations in 2012 as the first company registered to lease railcars under the Indian Railways Wagon Leasing Scheme.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This section describes the general terms that will apply to any debt securities that we may offer in the future, to which a future prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, may relate. At the time that we offer debt securities, we will describe in the prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, that relates to that offering (1) the specific terms of the debt securities and (2) the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those debt securities.

We expect to issue debt securities consisting of senior securities and subordinated securities. The senior securities are to be issued under an indenture between GATX and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The subordinated securities are to be issued under a separate indenture between GATX and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Forms of the indentures for the senior

1

securities and the subordinated securities are included as exhibits to the registration statement to which this prospectus forms a part. In the discussion that follows, we summarize particular provisions of the indentures. Our discussion of indenture provisions is not complete. You should read the indentures for a more complete understanding of the provisions we describe.

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue under each of the indentures is unlimited.

General

The indentures provide that debt securities in an unlimited amount may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series. The senior securities will rank equally and ratably with the other senior indebtedness of GATX. The subordinated securities will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to certain indebtedness of GATX to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any.

Each prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, relating to a particular offering of debt securities will describe the specific terms of debt securities. Those specific terms will include the following:

2

Any such prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, will also describe any special provisions for the payment of additional amounts with respect to the debt securities of such series.

Except where specifically described in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, the indentures do not contain any covenants designed to protect holders of the debt securities against a reduction in the creditworthiness of GATX in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or to prohibit other transactions which may adversely affect holders of the debt securities.

We may issue debt securities as original issue discount securities to be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amounts. We will describe in the relevant prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, any special United States federal income tax considerations that may apply to debt securities issued at such an original issue discount. Special United States tax considerations applicable to any debt securities that are denominated in a currency other than United States dollars or that use an index to determine the amount of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities will also be set forth in a prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any.

Book Entry System

According to the indentures, so long as the depositary’s nominee is the registered owner of a global security, that nominee will be considered the sole owner of the debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes. Except as provided in the relevant prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have debt securities of the series represented by the global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities of such series in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities under the indentures. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on a global security will be payable in the manner described in the relevant prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any.

Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, the global security representing debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), or other successor depositary appointed by us (DTC or such other depositary is referred to in this prospectus as the “depositary”) and registered in the name of the depositary or its nominee. The global security will bear a legend regarding the restrictions on exchange and registration of transfer referred to below and any other matters as may be provided for in the indentures. Debt securities will not be issued in definitive form unless the prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, states otherwise.

No global security may be exchanged for registered debt securities, and no transfer of a global security may be registered in the name of any person other than the depositary or its nominee unless:

All debt securities issued in exchange for a global security or any portion of a global security will be registered in the names that the depositary directs.

DTC advises that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts. This

3

eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the depositary. Access to DTC’s book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

Clearstream, Luxembourg advises that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream, Luxembourg holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream, Luxembourg provides to Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream, Luxembourg interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream, Luxembourg is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream, Luxembourg is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly.

Distributions with respect to interests in the debt securities held beneficially through Clearstream, Luxembourg will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Euroclear advises that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V (the “Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within the Euroclear System, withdrawals of securities and cash from the Euroclear System, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in the Euroclear System. All securities in the Euroclear System are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants, and has no records of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

Distributions with respect to the debt securities held beneficially through the Euroclear System will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear Participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the Euroclear System.

When we issue debt securities represented by a global security, purchases of debt securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the debt securities on

4

DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each debt security is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the debt securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in debt securities, except when use of the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

When the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the global security, it will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the indentures. Except as described above, beneficial owners:

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all debt securities deposited by participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the debt securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such debt securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to debt securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC provides an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the debt securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

Payments of any principal of and interest on the debt securities represented by the global security registered in the name of the depositary or its nominee will be made by us through the trustee or a paying agent, which may also be the trustee, to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of the global security. Neither we, the trustee, nor the paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

We have been advised that DTC will credit direct participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or the trustee, on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as in the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of the participant and not of DTC, the paying agent or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of GATX or the paying agent, disbursement of those payments to direct participants shall be the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of the payments to the beneficial owners shall be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

The information in this section concerning the depositary and the depositary’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures

Initial settlement for the debt securities will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC Participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream Participants and/or Euroclear Participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Euroclear System, as applicable.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC rules of the relevant European international clearing system; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants will be required to deliver instructions directly to Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Euroclear System, as the case may be.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of debt securities received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Euroclear System as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such debt securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Euroclear System as a result of sales of the debt securities by or through a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Euroclear System cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Euroclear System have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of debt securities among participants of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Euroclear System, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued or changed at any time.

Form, Exchange and Transfer

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in registered form, without coupons, and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

Holders may, at their option, but subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations that apply to global securities, exchange their debt securities for other debt securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denomination and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations that apply to global securities, holders may exchange debt securities as provided above. No service charge applies for any registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities, but the holder may have to pay any tax or other governmental charge associated with

6

registration of transfer or exchange. We have appointed the trustee as security registrar. Any transfer agent (in addition to the security registrar) initially designated by us for any debt securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or cancel the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts. However, we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

If the debt securities are to be partially redeemed, we will not be required to:

Payment and Paying Agents

We will pay interest on a debt security on any interest payment date to the registered holder of the debt security as of the close of business on the regular record date for payment of interest. If the debt securities do not remain in book entry form, the record date for each interest payment date will be the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. If we default in paying interest on a debt security, we will pay such interest either:

We will pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities at the office of the paying agent or paying agents that we designate. We may pay interest by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the payment as the address appears in the security register. We have designated the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments on the debt securities. Any other paying agents initially designated by us for the debt securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any. We may at any time designate additional paying agents, rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts.

Any money paid by us to a paying agent for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt security which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the principal, premium or interest has become due and payable may be repaid to us at our request.

Subordination

We may issue subordinated securities from time to time in one or more series under the subordinated indenture. Our subordinated securities will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to certain other indebtedness of GATX to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any.

Certain Covenants of GATX with Respect to Senior Securities

In this section we describe the principal covenants that will apply to the senior securities unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any.

7

Limitation on Liens. The senior securities offered hereby are not secured by mortgage, pledge or other lien. We have covenanted that neither we nor any Restricted Subsidiary (which the indenture relating to the senior

securities defines as any subsidiary which is a consolidated subsidiary, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) will subject any of our property, tangible or intangible, real or personal, to any lien unless the senior securities are secured equally and ratably with other indebtedness thereby secured. Specifically excluded from this covenant are liens existing on the date of the indenture, as well as certain other liens, and the extension, renewal or replacement of those liens including without limitation:

(a) Liens on any property provided that the creditor has no recourse against GATX or any Restricted Subsidiary except recourse to such property or proceeds of any sale or lease of such property;

(b) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition (including acquisition through merger or consolidation) or given in connection with financing the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property so long as the financing is completed within 180 days of the acquisition (or 18 months in the case of rail equipment, marine equipment, transportation-related containers and certain information technology assets);

(c) Liens securing certain intercompany indebtedness;

(d) A banker’s lien or right of offset;

(e) Liens arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, to secure any contingent liability of GATX;

(f) Liens on sublease interests held by GATX if those liens are in favor of the person leasing the property subject to the sublease to GATX;

(g) Various specified governmental liens and deposits;

(h) Various other liens not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money (including purchase money indebtedness) or the obtaining of advances or credit;

(i) Liens incurred in connection with securing performance of letters of credit, bids, tenders, appeal and performance bonds not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or obtaining of advances or payment of the deferred purchase price of property; and

(j) Other liens not permitted by any of the preceding clauses on property, provided no such lien shall be incurred pursuant to clause (j) if the aggregate amount of indebtedness secured by liens incurred pursuant to clause (j) subsequent to the date of the indenture, including the lien proposed to be incurred, would exceed 20% of Net Tangible Assets (which the indenture relating to the senior securities defines as the total assets of GATX less (x) current liabilities and (y) intangible assets).

Satisfaction and Discharge

We may be discharged from our obligations on the debt securities of any series that have matured or will mature or be redeemed within one year if we deposit with the trustee enough cash or U.S. government obligations to pay all the principal, interest and any premium due to the stated maturity date or redemption date of debt securities.

Merger and Consolidation

Each indenture provides that we may not consolidate or merge with or into any other corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of our assets to any other corporation, unless we are the continuing corporation or successor corporation, or the successor or transferee corporation is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes all of our obligations under the applicable indenture and, immediately after giving effect to the consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, we or the successor or transferee corporation will not be in default of the performance of any covenant or condition in the indenture.

8

Modification and Waiver

The indentures provide that we and the trustee may modify and amend the indentures with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modification or amendment, provided that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected by the modification or amendment:

Except with respect to certain fundamental provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series may, with respect to such series, waive past defaults under each indenture.

Events of Default, Waiver and Notice

An event of default with respect to any debt security of any series is defined in each indenture as being:

Each indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the debt securities of any default with respect to any series of debt securities (except in payment of principal of, or interest on, the debt securities) if the trustee considers it in the interest of the holders of the debt securities of such series to do so.

Each indenture provides also that:

9

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to debt securities of such series provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or the applicable indenture and shall not be unduly prejudicial to the holders not taking part in such direction. The trustee may also take any other action it deems proper which is consistent with the holders’ direction. If an event of default or other default occurs and is continuing after any applicable notice and/or cure period, then the trustee may in its discretion (and subject to the rights of the holders to control remedies as described above and certain other conditions specified in the indentures) bring such judicial proceedings as the trustee shall deem appropriate or proper.

The indentures provide that no holder of any debt security will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indentures for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for any other remedy thereunder unless:

Furthermore, no holder will be entitled to institute any such action if and to the extent that such action would disturb or prejudice the rights of other holders.

However, each holder has an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment when due and to bring a suit to enforce that right. We are required to furnish to the trustee under each indenture annually a statement as to performance or fulfillment of its obligations under the applicable indenture and as to any default in such performance or fulfillment.

Notices to holders of the debt securities will be provided to the address of the holders as they may appear in the security register.

We, and any agent of us or the trustee, will treat any person or entity in whose name securities are registered as the absolute owner of those debt securities (whether or not the debt securities may be overdue) for the purpose of making payments and for all other purpose respective of notice to the contrary.

10

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, is the trustee under the indenture for our outstanding senior debt securities, as well as certain of our equipment trust agreements. We maintain banking relationships in the ordinary course of business with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association and its affiliates.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the debt securities directly to purchasers, through agents, underwriters, or dealers, or through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

We may distribute the debt securities from time to time in one or more transactions at:

Each prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, will describe the method of distribution of the debt securities offered by that prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any.

We may designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the debt securities from time to time.

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, any agent will be acting on a reasonable best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
