lives of consumers around the world - now and for generations to come. Our products are sold in about

180 countries and territories throughout the world. The Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1905,

having first been established as a New Jersey corporation in 1890, and was built from a business founded

in Cincinnati in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. Our principal executive offices are located at

One Procter & Gamble Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, and our telephone number is (513) 983-1100.

Many of the domestic and international sites manufacture products for multiple businesses.

S-3

RISK FACTORS

We discuss our expectations regarding future performance, events and outcomes, such as our

business outlook and objectives in this document, as well as in our quarterly and annual reports, current

reports on Form 8-K, press releases and other written and oral communications. All statements, except

for historical and present factual information, are “forward-looking statements” and are based on financial

data and business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become

outdated or incomplete. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of

new information, future events or other factors, except to the extent required by law. Forward-looking

statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could significantly differ

from our expectations.

The following discussion of “risk factors” identifies significant factors that may adversely affect our

business, operations, financial position or future financial performance. This information should be read in

conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the consolidated financial statements and

related notes included in our quarterly and annual reports and current reports on Form 8-K which are

incorporated by reference into this document. The following discussion of risks is not all inclusive but is

designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our expectations.

These and other factors could cause our future results to differ from those in the forward-looking

statements and from historical trends, perhaps materially.

MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND RELATED FINANCIAL RISKS

Our business is subject to numerous risks as a result of having significant operations and

sales in international markets, including foreign currency fluctuations, currency exchange or

pricing controls.

We are a global company, with operations in approximately 65 countries and products sold in

about 180 countries and territories around the world. We hold assets, incur liabilities, generate sales and

pay expenses in a variety of currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and our operations outside the U.S.

generate more than 50% of our annual net sales. Fluctuations in exchange rates for foreign currencies

have and could reduce the U.S. dollar value of sales, earnings and cash flows we receive from non-U.S.

markets, increase our supply costs (as measured in U.S. dollars) in those markets, negatively impact our

competitiveness in those markets or otherwise adversely impact our business results or financial

condition.

We have a significant amount of debt, including floating rate and foreign currency debt and

derivatives, as part of our capital markets activities. As we refinance debt or renew derivatives, we are

exposed to movement in global interest rates and rate differentials. The maturity cash outflows of foreign

currency debt and derivative instruments could be adversely impacted by significant appreciation of

foreign currency exchange rates (particularly the Euro), which could impact our overall cash flows and

interest expense. Moreover, discriminatory or conflicting fiscal or trade policies in different countries,

including changes to tariffs and existing trade policies and agreements, have and could adversely affect

our results. See also the Results of Operations and Cash Flow, Financial Condition and Liquidity sections

of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the consolidated financial statements and related notes

included in our quarterly and annual reports, which are incorporated by reference into this document.

We also have businesses and maintain local currency cash balances in a number of countries

with currency exchange, import authorization, pricing or other controls or restrictions. Our results of

operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely impacted if we are unable to

successfully manage such controls and restrictions, continue existing business operations and repatriate

earnings from overseas, or if new or increased tariffs, quotas, exchange or price controls, trade barriers or

similar restrictions are imposed on our business.

S-4

Uncertain economic or social conditions may adversely impact demand for our products

or cause our customers and other business partners to suffer financial hardship, which could

adversely impact our business.

Our business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for our products related to one or

more significant local, regional or global economic or social disruptions. These disruptions have included

and may include: a slow-down, recession or inflationary pressures in the general economy; reduced

market growth rates; tighter credit markets for our suppliers, vendors or customers; a significant shift in

government policies; significant social unrest; the deterioration of economic relations between countries

or regions; potential negative consumer sentiment toward non-local products or sources; or the inability to

conduct day-to-day transactions through our financial intermediaries to pay funds to or collect funds from

our customers, vendors and suppliers. Additionally, these and other economic conditions may cause our

suppliers, distributors, contractors or other third-party partners to suffer financial or operational difficulties

that they cannot overcome, resulting in their inability to provide us with the materials and services we

need, in which case our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Customers may

also suffer financial hardships due to economic conditions such that their accounts become uncollectible

or are subject to longer collection cycles. In addition, if we are unable to generate sufficient sales, income

and cash flow, it could affect the Company’s ability to achieve expected share repurchase and dividend

payments.

Changing political and geopolitical conditions could adversely impact our business and

financial results.

Changes in the political conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our

products, as well as changing geopolitical conditions, may be difficult to predict and may adversely affect

our business and financial results. Results of elections, referendums, sanctions or other political

processes and pressures in certain markets in which our products are manufactured, sold or distributed

have created and could create uncertainty regarding how existing governmental policies, laws and

regulations may change, including with respect to sanctions, taxes, tariffs, import and export controls and

the general movement of goods, materials, services, capital, data and people between countries. The

potential implications of such uncertainty, which include, among others, exchange rate fluctuations,

variability and unpredictability in trade relations, new or increased tariffs, trade barriers and market

contraction, could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

The Company operates a global business with sales, manufacturing, distribution and research

and development organizations globally that contribute to our overall growth. If geopolitical tensions and

trade controls continue to increase or disrupt our business in markets where we have significant sales or

operations, including disruptions due to governmental responses to such conflicts (such as the imposition

of sanctions, export controls, retaliatory tariffs, restrictions on cross-border data transfers, increased

business licensing requirements or limitations on profits), such disruptions could adversely impact our

business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our business, operations or employees have been and could continue to be adversely affected

(including by the need to de-consolidate or even exit certain businesses in particular countries) by

geopolitical conflicts, political volatility, trade controls, labor market disruptions, epidemics or other crises

or vulnerabilities in individual countries or regions. This could include political instability, upheaval or acts

of war and the related responses of governments or other entities (including, but not limited to, boycotts in

certain regions), broad economic instability or sovereign risk related to a default by or deterioration in the

creditworthiness of local governments, particularly in emerging markets.

For example, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has negatively impacted, and the

situation it generates may continue to negatively impact, our operations. Future impacts to the Company

are difficult to predict due to the high level of uncertainty as to how the overall situation will continue to

evolve. We may reduce further or discontinue our operations in Russia due to significant and cumulative

sanctions and export controls and counter-sanctions, monetary, currency or payment controls, restrictions

S-5

on data transfers or access to financial institutions and services, supply and transportation challenges or

other circumstances and considerations. In addition to operational disruptions, these factors could result

in loss of assets or impairments of our manufacturing plants and fixed assets or write-downs of other

operating assets and working capital.

The conflict in the Middle East could also adversely impact our financial results and operations

due to, for example, volatility in global energy markets, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures or

trade restrictions.

More broadly, there could be additional negative impacts to our net sales, earnings and cash

flows should these situations worsen or other geopolitical conflicts arise, including, among other potential

impacts, economic recessions in certain neighboring countries or globally due to inflationary pressures,

energy and supply chain cost increases or the geographic proximity of the conflicts relative to the rest of

other markets.

Changes in geopolitical conditions could also amplify or affect the other risk factors set forth in

this Risk Factors section, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange volatility, disruptions to the

financial and credit markets, energy supply and supply chain disruptions, increased risks of an information

security or operational technology incident, cost fluctuations and commodity cost increases and increased

costs to ensure compliance with global and local laws and regulations.

Disruptions in credit markets or to our banking partners or changes to our credit ratings

may reduce our access to credit or overall liquidity.

A disruption in the credit markets or a downgrade of our current credit rating could increase our

future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially

acceptable to us, which could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources or significantly increase

our cost of capital. In addition, we rely on top-tier banking partners in key markets around the world, who

themselves face economic, societal, reputational, political and other risks, for access to credit and to

facilitate collection, payment and supply chain finance programs. A disruption to one or more of these top-

tier partners could impact our ability to draw on existing credit facilities or otherwise adversely affect our

cash flows or the cash flows of our customers and vendors.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS RISKS

Our business results depend on our ability to manage disruptions in our global supply

chain.

Our ability to meet our customers’ needs and achieve cost targets depends on our ability to

maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including execution of supply chain optimizations

and certain sole supplier or sole manufacturing plant arrangements. The loss or disruption of such

manufacturing and supply arrangements, including for issues such as labor disputes or controversies,

loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, discontinuity or disruptions in our internal information and

data systems or those of our suppliers, cybersecurity incidents including but not limited to ransomware

attacks, misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies, inability to procure

sufficient raw or input materials (including water, recycled materials and materials that meet our labor

standards), significant changes in trade policy, natural disasters, increasing severity or frequency of

extreme weather events due to climate change or otherwise, acts of war or terrorism, disease outbreaks

(including epidemics, pandemics or similar widespread public health concerns) or other external factors

over which we have no control, have at times interrupted and could interrupt product supply and, if not

effectively managed and remedied, have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results

of operations or cash flows.

S-6

Our businesses face cost fluctuations and pressures that could affect our results.

Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in the prices of commodities

(including certain petroleum-derived materials like resins and paper-based materials like pulp), raw and

packaging materials and the costs of labor, tariffs, transportation (including trucks and containers), energy,

pensions and healthcare. Inflation pressures sometimes result in increases in these input costs.

Therefore, our business results depend, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations

through pricing actions, cost saving projects and sourcing decisions, while maintaining and improving

margins and market share. Failure to manage these fluctuations and to anticipate consumer reaction to

our management of these fluctuations could adversely impact our results of operations or cash flows.

The ability to achieve our business objectives depends on how well we can compete with

our local and global competitors in new and existing markets and channels.

The consumer products industry is highly competitive. Across all of our categories, we compete

against a wide variety, and increasing number, of global and local competitors. In addition, evolving sales

channels and business models may continue to affect customer and consumer preferences as well as

market dynamics, which, for example, may be seen in the growing consumer preference for shopping

online, growth in digital tools, fragmentation of media, ease of competitive entry into certain categories

and growth in hard discounter channels. Failure to anticipate and successfully respond to competitive

factors, retail and consumer trends, new and growing sales channels and new business models,

particularly digital commerce, at the pace in which they are evolving could adversely affect our business

results and operations.

A significant change in customer relationships or in customer demand for our products

could have a significant impact on our business.

We sell most of our products via retail customers, which include mass merchandisers, digital

commerce (including social commerce) channels, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores,

department stores, distributors, wholesalers, specialty beauty stores (including airport duty-free stores),

high-frequency stores, pharmacies, electronics stores and professional channels. Our success depends

on our ability to successfully manage relationships with our retail customers, which includes our ability to

offer trade terms that are mutually acceptable and are aligned with our pricing and profitability targets in

an environment of changing customer practices driven by digital tools and investment in media platforms.

In addition, continued concentration among our retail customers, an increase in buying alliances or other

changes in the negotiation strategies of our customers could create significant cost and margin pressure

on our business or business disruptions. If we cannot reach agreement with a key customer on trade

terms and principles, our business performance could suffer. Our business could also be negatively

impacted if a key customer were to significantly reduce the inventory level of or shelf space allocated to

our products as a result of increased offerings of other branded manufacturers, private label brands and

generic non-branded products or for other reasons, significantly tighten product delivery windows or

experience a significant business disruption.

If the reputation of the Company or one or more of our brands erodes significantly, it could

have a material impact on our financial results.

The Company’s reputation, and the reputation of our brands, form the foundation of our

relationships with key stakeholders and other constituencies, including consumers, customers and

suppliers. The quality and safety of our products are critical to our business. Many of our brands have

worldwide recognition and our financial success directly depends on the success of our brands. The

success of our brands can suffer if our marketing plans or product initiatives do not have the desired

impact on a brand’s image or its ability to attract consumers. Our results of operations or cash flows could

also be negatively impacted if the Company or one of our brands suffers substantial harm to its reputation

due to a significant product recall, product-related litigation, defects or impurities in our products, product

misuse, changing consumer perceptions of certain ingredients, negative perceptions of packaging (such

S-7

as plastics and other petroleum-based materials), lack of recyclability or other environmental attributes,

concerns about actual or alleged labor, equality and inclusion or social practices, cyber incidents, privacy

failures or data losses, implementation or deployment of a controversial technology, negative views of

ongoing operations in certain countries, allegations of product tampering, negative perceptions of or

controversies related to employees or the distribution and sale of counterfeit products. Additionally,

negative or inaccurate postings or comments on social media or networking websites about the Company

or one of its brands could generate adverse publicity that could damage the reputation of our brands or

the Company. If we are unable to effectively manage real or perceived issues, including concerns about

safety, quality, ingredients, efficacy, environmental or social impacts or similar matters, sentiments toward

the Company or our products could be negatively impacted, and our results of operations or cash flows

could suffer. Our Company also devotes time and resources to citizenship efforts that are consistent with

our corporate values and are designed to strengthen our business and protect and preserve our

reputation, including programs driving ethics and corporate responsibility, strong communities, equality

and inclusion and environmental sustainability. While the Company has many programs and initiatives to

further these citizenship efforts, we are impacted in part by the actions and efforts of third parties including

local and other governmental authorities, suppliers, vendors and customers. Consumer or broader

stakeholder perceptions of these programs and initiatives widely vary and could adversely affect our

business. If these programs are changed, not fully achieved or suffer negative publicity, the Company’s

reputation and results of operations or cash flows could be adversely impacted.

We rely on third parties in many aspects of our business, which creates additional risk.

Due to the scale and scope of our business, we must rely on relationships with third parties,

including our suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributors, contractors, commercial banks, joint venture

partners and external business partners, for certain functions. If we are unable to effectively manage our

third-party relationships and the agreements under which our third-party partners operate, our results of

operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted. Failure of these third parties to meet their

obligations to the Company, including the transparency and accuracy of the disclosures of ingredients in

materials or processes, proper security of Company data and personal data, and the provision of

information to timely address operational disruptions or cyber incidents, or substantial disruptions in the

relationships between the Company and these third parties could adversely impact our operations and

financial results. Additionally, while we have policies and procedures for managing these relationships,

they inherently involve a lesser degree of control over business operations, governance and compliance,

thereby potentially increasing our financial, legal, reputational and operational risk. In some situations, the

actions or inactions of third parties could be imputed to the Company or otherwise lead to inquiries,

investigations, claims, proceedings or information requests by government agencies or private parties.

A significant information security or operational technology incident, including a

cybersecurity incident, or the failure of one or more key information or operations technology

systems, networks, hardware, processes and/or associated sites involving the Company or one of

its service providers could have a material adverse impact on our business or reputation.

We rely extensively on information and operational technology (IT/OT) systems, networks and

services, including internet and intranet sites, data hosting and processing facilities and technologies,

physical security systems and other hardware, AI, software and technical applications and platforms.

Many of these are managed, hosted, provided and/or used by third parties or their vendors. The various

uses of these IT/OT systems, networks and services include, but are not limited to, ordering and

managing materials from suppliers; converting materials to finished products; shipping, marketing and

selling products; collecting, transferring, storing and/or processing customer, consumer, employee,

vendor, investor and other stakeholder information and personal data; summarizing and reporting results

of operations, including financial reporting; managing our banking and other cash liquidity systems and

platforms; hosting, processing and sharing, as appropriate, confidential and proprietary research, trade

secrets, business plans and financial information; collaborating via an online and efficient means of global

business communications; complying with regulatory, legal and tax requirements; providing data security;

and handling other processes necessary to manage our business.

S-8

Increasing and evolving information security threats, including advanced persistent cybersecurity

threats and the use of AI to autonomously find and exploit weaknesses, obtain information, craft social

engineering content and execute large-scale attacks with increased speed and minimal human effort,

pose a risk to the security of our services, systems, networks and supply chain, as well as the

confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data and of our critical business operations. In addition,

because the techniques, tools and tactics used in cyber-attacks frequently change, continue to advance in

sophistication and may be difficult to detect for periods of time, we and our third-party providers may face

difficulties in anticipating and implementing adequate preventative measures, quickly evaluating the full

impact of an attack or fully containing and mitigating harms after such an attack.

Our IT/OT databases and systems and our third-party providers’ databases and systems have

been, and will likely continue to be, subject to advanced computer viruses or other malicious codes,

ransomware, unauthorized access attempts, denial of service attacks, phishing (including the use of

adversarial AI techniques), social engineering, credential stuffing, automated vulnerability discovery, data

encryption or exfiltration, deep fakes, hacking, supply chain software compromise and other cyber-

attacks. Such attacks may originate from outside parties, hackers, criminal organizations or other threat

actors, including nation states. In addition, operational errors and insider actors - malicious or otherwise -

could cause technical disruptions and/or data incidents. We cannot guarantee that our security efforts or

the security efforts of our third-party providers will prevent material breaches, operational outages or other

breakdowns to our or our third-party providers’ IT/OT databases or systems.

A breach of our data security systems or digital customer products, such as connected devices,

or failure of our IT/OT databases and systems and those of our third-parties may have a material adverse

impact on our business operations and financial results. If the IT/OT systems, networks or service

providers we rely upon fail to function properly or cause operational outages or aberrations, or if we or

one of our third-party providers suffer significant unavailability of key operations, or inadvertent disclosure

of, lack of integrity of, or loss of our sensitive business or stakeholder information, including personal

information, due to any number of causes, including catastrophic events, natural disasters, power

outages, computer and telecommunications failures, improper data handling, viruses, phishing attempts,

cyber-attacks, malware and ransomware attacks, security incidents, misuse or malicious use of AI or

employee error or malfeasance, and our business continuity plans do not effectively address these

failures on a timely basis, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage operations and be exposed

to reputational, competitive, operational, financial and business harm as well as litigation and regulatory

action. If our critical IT systems or back-up systems or those of our third-party vendors are damaged or

cease to function properly, we may have to make a significant investment to repair or replace them.

In addition, if a ransomware attack, other cybersecurity incident or operational disruption occurs,

either internally or at our third-party providers, we could be prevented from accessing our data or

systems, which may cause interruptions or delays in our business operations, cause us to incur

remediation costs, subject us to demands to pay a ransom or damage our reputation. In addition, such

events could result in unauthorized disclosure or loss of confidential information or stakeholder

information, including personal data from customers, consumers, employees, vendors, investors and

other stakeholders, and we may suffer financial and reputational damage as a result. Additionally, we

could be exposed to potential liability, litigation, governmental inquiries, reporting requirements,

investigations or regulatory enforcement actions; and we could be subject to payment of fines or other

penalties, legal claims by our suppliers, customers or employees and significant remediation costs.

Periodically, we and/or our suppliers also upgrade IT/OT systems or adopt new technologies,

including but not limited to AI, in our operations. These technologies may have limitations, including

biases, errors, insufficient or erroneous data. If a new system or technology does not function properly,

provides flawed or inaccurate outputs or exposes us to increased cybersecurity incidents and failures, it

could result in litigation or regulatory enforcement, affect our ability to order materials, make and ship

orders and process payments as well as cause other operational and information integrity and loss

issues. The costs and operational consequences of responding to the above items and implementing

remediation measures could be significant and could adversely impact our results of operations and cash

S-9

flows and generate negative publicity affecting Company reputation and relationships among consumers,

customers and other business partners.

BUSINESS STRATEGY & ORGANIZATIONAL RISKS

Our ability to meet our growth targets depends on successful product, marketing and

operations innovation and successful responses to competitive innovation, evolving digital

marketing and selling platforms and changing consumer habits.

We are a consumer products company that relies on continued global demand for our brands and

products, and consumer expectations and purchasing habits are evolving at an accelerating pace.

Achieving our business results depends, in part, on successfully developing, introducing and marketing

new products and on making significant improvements to our equipment and manufacturing processes.

The success of such innovation depends on our ability to correctly anticipate customer and consumer

acceptance and trends at the pace at which they are evolving, to obtain, maintain and enforce necessary

intellectual property protections and to avoid infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others and

to continue to deliver efficient and effective marketing across evolving and more fragmented media and

mobile platforms with dynamic and increasingly more restrictive privacy requirements. We must also

successfully respond to technological advances made by, and intellectual property rights granted to,

competitors, customers and vendors. Failure to continually innovate, improve and respond to competitive

moves, changing consumer habits and platform evolution, including the timely, responsible and effective

adoption of emerging technologies such as AI, could compromise our competitive position and adversely

impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We must successfully manage ongoing acquisition, joint venture and divestiture activities.

As a company that manages a portfolio of consumer brands, our ongoing business model

includes a certain level of acquisition, joint venture and divestiture activities. We must be able to

successfully manage the impacts of these activities, while at the same time delivering against our

business objectives. Specifically, our financial results have been and could be adversely impacted by the

dilutive impacts from the loss of earnings associated with divested brands or dissolution of joint ventures.

Our results of operations and cash flows have been and could be impacted by acquisitions or joint

venture activities, if: 1) changes in the cash flows or other market-based assumptions cause the value of

acquired assets to fall below book value, or 2) we are not able to deliver the expected cost and growth

synergies associated with such acquisitions and joint ventures, including as a result of integration and

collaboration challenges, which could also result in an impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

Our business results depend on our ability to successfully manage productivity

improvements and ongoing organizational change, including attracting, developing and retaining

key talent as part of our overall succession planning.

Our financial projections assume certain new and ongoing productivity improvements and cost

savings, including staffing adjustments and employee departures. Failure to deliver these planned

productivity improvements and cost savings, while continuing to invest in business growth, could

adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, successfully executing

organizational change, management transitions at leadership levels of the Company and motivation and

retention of key employees is critical to our business success. Factors that may affect our ability to attract

and retain sufficient numbers of qualified employees include: employee morale; our reputation; the

impacts of political, social and geopolitical polarization; competition from other employers and availability

of qualified individuals. Our success depends on identifying, developing and retaining key employees to

provide uninterrupted leadership and direction for our business. This includes developing and retaining

organizational capabilities in key growth markets where the depth of skilled or experienced employees

may be limited and competition for these resources is intense as well as continuing the development and

execution of robust leadership succession plans. It also includes continuing to attract, develop and retain

employees that adapt to new ways of working and new technologies in a rapidly changing environment.

S-10

LEGAL & REGULATORY RISKS

We must successfully manage compliance with current and expanding laws and

regulations, as well as manage new and pending legal and regulatory matters in the U.S. and

abroad.

Our business is subject to a wide variety of laws, regulations, policies and related interpretations

across the countries in which we do business, including those laws and regulations involving intellectual

property, product liability, product composition or formulation (including requirements related to

ingredients or other substances present in products), manufacturing processes, packaging content or

corporate responsibility for packaging and product disposal (including plastics and other petroleum-based

materials), marketing, antitrust and competition, privacy, cybersecurity, data protection and data transfers,

AI, environmental (including increasing focus on the climate, nature, water and waste impacts of

consumer packaged goods companies’ operations and products), employment, healthcare, anti-bribery

and anti-corruption (including interactions with health care professionals and government officials as well

as corresponding internal controls and record-keeping requirements), trade (including tariffs, sanctions

and export controls), tax, accounting and financial reporting or other matters. In addition, governmental

and societal attention to environmental and social matters, including changing and disparate mandatory

and voluntary reporting, diligence and disclosure on topics such as climate change, waste production,

water usage, nature impacts, human capital, respect for human rights, labor and risk oversight, could

continue to expand the nature, scope and complexity of matters that we are required to control, assess

and report. These and other rapidly changing laws, regulations, policies and related interpretations as well

as increased enforcement actions by various governmental and regulatory agencies, create challenges

for the Company, may alter the environment in which we do business, may increase the ongoing costs

and complexities of compliance including by requiring investments in technology or other compliance

systems and may ultimately result in the need to cease manufacturing, sales or other business activities

in certain jurisdictions, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. If we are

unable to continue to meet these challenges and comply with all laws, regulations, policies and related

interpretations, it could negatively impact our reputation and our business results. Additionally, we are

currently, and in the future may be, subject to a number of inquiries, investigations, claims, proceedings

and requests for information from governmental agencies or private parties, the adverse outcomes of

which could harm our business. Failure to successfully manage these new or pending regulatory and

legal matters and resolve such matters without significant liability or damage to our reputation may

materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, if

new or pending legal or regulatory matters result in fines or costs in excess of the amounts accrued to

date, that may also materially impact our results of operations and financial position.

Changes in applicable tax laws and regulations and resolutions of tax disputes could

negatively affect our financial results.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Changes in

the various tax laws can and do occur. For example, in July 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One

Big Beautiful Bill Act (the 2025 U.S. Tax Act). The 2025 U.S. Tax Act extended or made permanent many

of the corporate tax changes arising under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in 2017 (the 2017 U.S. Tax

Act). We do not anticipate the 2025 U.S. Tax Act to have a material impact to our financial condition,

results of operations, cash flows or effective tax rate.

In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

issued “Pillar Two” model rules which established a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for large

multinational corporations. Many countries have implemented or are in the process of implementing Pillar

Two legislation into their respective domestic laws. The implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum

top-up tax did not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or

effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended 2026. Based on current legislation and available guidance,

including the January 5, 2026 Pillar Two “Side-by-Side Package”, we do not anticipate the Pillar Two

global minimum top-up tax to have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations, cash

S-11

flows or effective tax rate in future years. The Company continues to assess the overall impact of potential

changes as developments occur, consistent with our practice to monitor all changes in tax laws. As the

Pillar Two global minimum tax and other tax laws and related regulations are revised, enacted and

implemented, a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or effective tax

rate may occur.

Furthermore, we are subject to regular review and audit by both foreign and domestic tax

authorities. While we believe our tax positions will be sustained, the final outcome of tax audits and

related litigation may differ materially from the tax amounts recorded in our consolidated financial

statements, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The following description of the particular terms of the 5.125% notes, the 5.300% notes, the

5.450% notes and the 5.900% notes supplements the more general description of the debt securities

contained in the accompanying prospectus. If there are any inconsistencies between the information in

caption “Description of Debt Securities—Restrictive Covenants.”

Interest

We will pay interest on the 5.125% notes, the 5.300% notes, the 5.450% notes and the 5.900%

notes semiannually on April 30 and October 30 of each year, as applicable, and on any maturity date

(each, an “interest payment date”), commencing April 30, 2027 and ending on any maturity date, to the

persons in whose names the 5.125% notes, the 5.300% notes, the 5.450% notes and the 5.900% notes

are registered at the close of business on April 15 or October 15, as applicable (in each case, whether or

not a Business Day), immediately preceding the related interest payment date; provided, however, that

interest payable on any maturity date shall be payable to the person to whom the principal of such notes

shall be payable. Interest on the 5.125% notes, the 5.300% notes, the 5.450% notes and the 5.900%

notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this prospectus supplement, so long as the notes are

in book-entry form, we will make payments of principal and interest through the trustee to The Depository

Trust Company (“DTC”).

Interest payable on any interest payment date or maturity date shall be the amount of interest

accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest

has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date, if no interest has been

paid or duly provided for with respect to the notes) to, but excluding, such interest payment date or

maturity date, as the case may be. If any interest payment date is not a Business Day at the relevant

place of payment, we will pay interest on the next day that is a Business Day at such place of payment as

if payment were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so

payable for the period from and after such date to the immediately succeeding Business Day. If the

maturity date or redemption date of the notes is not a Business Day at the relevant place of payment, we

will pay interest, if any, and principal and premium, if any, on the next day that is a Business Day at such

place of payment as if payment were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will

accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the immediately succeeding

Business Day.

“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which

banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in the City of New York

and, for any place of payment outside of the City of New York, in such place of payment.

The term “maturity,” when used with respect to a note, means the date on which the principal of

such note or an installment of principal becomes due and payable as therein provided or as provided in

the indenture, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption,

repayment or otherwise.

S-17

Optional Redemption

We may redeem the notes of any series at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and 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) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and

interest on the notes to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis

(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below)

plus 5 basis points with respect to the 5.125% notes, at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points with

respect to the 5.300% notes, at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points with respect to the 5.450% notes

and at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points with respect to the 5.900% notes less (b) interest accrued

to, but excluding, the redemption date, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to, but excluding,

the redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, as applicable, the yield determined

by us in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by us 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 securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading)

(“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, we shall 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 maturity

date of the notes to be redeemed (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 shall interpolate to the

maturity date of the notes to be redeemed 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 shall 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

shall 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 maturity

date of the notes to be redeemed. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the maturity

date of the notes to be redeemed but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a

maturity date equally distant from such maturity date of the notes to be redeemed, one with a maturity

date preceding such maturity date of the notes to be redeemed and one with a maturity date following

such maturity date of the notes to be redeemed, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a

maturity date preceding such maturity date of the notes to be redeemed. If there are two or more United

States Treasury securities maturing on the maturity date of the notes to be redeemed or two or more

United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from

among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is

S-18

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 on such day. 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 shall 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 on such day, of such United States

Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and

binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in

accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the

redemption date to each holder of notes of the applicable series to be redeemed.

In the case of a partial redemption of any series of notes, selection of the notes for redemption

will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the trustee in its sole discretion deems

appropriate and fair. No notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any note

is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the note will state the portion of the

principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed

portion of the note will be issued in the name of the holder of the note upon surrender for cancellation of

the original note. For so long as the notes to be redeemed are held by DTC (or another depositary), the

redemption of the notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest

will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Further Issues

We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of notes of

any series, create and issue further notes ranking equally with the notes of any series in all respects.

Such further notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the notes of any such series and

have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the other notes of such series (other than

the issue date of such further notes and first payment of interest following the issue date of such further

notes).

Book-Entry System

We have obtained the information in this section concerning DTC, Clearstream Banking, société

anonyme, Luxembourg (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) and Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and their

book-entry systems and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable. We take no responsibility

for an accurate portrayal of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems in this

section reflects our understanding of the rules and procedures of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and

Euroclear as they are currently in effect. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at any

time. 

The notes will initially be represented by one or more fully registered global notes. Each such

global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC or any successor thereto and registered in the

name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s nominee). You may hold your interests in the global notes in the United

States through DTC, or in Europe through Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear, either as a participant

in such systems or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream,

Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating

organizations or customers through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream, Luxembourg’s or

Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold those positions in

customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. Citibank, N.A. will act as

depositary for Clearstream, Luxembourg and JPMorgan Chase Bank will act as depositary for Euroclear.

S-19

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global securities representing the

notes, DTC or such nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the notes for all purposes of

the notes and the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not

be entitled to have the notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical

delivery of the notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under

the indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by us or the trustee pursuant to

the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a note must rely on the procedures

of DTC or its nominee and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through

which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes.

Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form under the limited

circumstances described below under the heading “—Book-Entry System—Certificated Notes”:

•you will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing your interest in the notes;

•all references in this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus to actions by

holders will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its direct participants; and

•all references in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus to payments

and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to DTC or Cede & Co., as the

registered holder of the notes, for distribution to you in accordance with DTC procedures.

The Depository Trust Company

DTC will act as securities depositary for the notes. The notes will be issued as fully registered

notes registered in the name of Cede & Co. DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is

•a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;

•a “banking organization” under the New York Banking Law;

•a member of the Federal Reserve System;

•a “clearing corporation” under the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

•a “clearing agency” registered under the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934.

DTC holds securities that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC facilitates the settlement

among direct participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities

through electronic computerized book-entry changes in direct participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating

the need for physical movement of securities certificates.

Direct participants of DTC include securities brokers and dealers (including the underwriters),

banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a

number of its direct participants. Indirect participants of DTC, such as securities brokers and dealers,

banks and trust companies, can also access the DTC system if they maintain a custodial relationship with

a direct participant.

If you are not a direct participant or an indirect participant and you wish to purchase, sell or

otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, notes, you must do so through a direct participant or

an indirect participant. DTC agrees with and represents to DTC participants that it will administer its book-

entry system in accordance with its rules and by-laws and requirements of law. The Securities and

Exchange Commission has on file a set of the rules applicable to DTC and its direct participants.

Purchases of notes under DTC’s system must be made by or through direct participants, which

will receive a credit for the notes on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each beneficial owner is in

S-20

turn to be recorded on the records of direct participants and indirect participants. 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 participants or indirect participants through which such beneficial owners entered into the

transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes 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 notes, except as provided below in “—Book-Entry System—

Certificated Notes.”

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all notes deposited with DTC are registered in the name of

DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of notes 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 notes. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such notes

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.

Clearstream, Luxembourg

Clearstream, Luxembourg advises that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a

professional depository. Clearstream, Luxembourg holds securities for its customers and facilitates the

clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its customers through electronic book-entry

changes in accounts of its customers, thus eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.

Clearstream, Luxembourg provides to its customers, 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 a number of countries.

Clearstream, Luxembourg is an indirect participant in DTC.

Clearstream, Luxembourg customers are recognized financial institutions around the world,

including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and

certain other organizations. 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, Luxembourg customer either directly or indirectly.

The Euroclear System

Euroclear has advised us that the Euroclear System was created in 1968 to hold securities for

participants in the Euroclear System and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear participants

through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thus eliminating the need for

physical movement of certificates and risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash.

Transactions may now be settled in many currencies, including United States dollars. The Euroclear

System provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with

domestic markets in several countries generally similar to the arrangements for cross-market transfers

with DTC described below.

The Euroclear System is operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV, under contract with Euroclear

Clearance System, S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation. The Euroclear Operator conducts all

operations, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts

with the Euroclear Operator, not the cooperative. The cooperative establishes policy for the Euroclear

System on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks),

securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the

underwriters. Indirect access to the Euroclear System is also available to other firms that clear through or

S-21

maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly. Euroclear is an

indirect participant in DTC.

The Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of

the Euroclear System and applicable Belgian law govern securities clearance accounts and cash

accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Specifically, these terms and conditions govern:

•transfers of securities and cash within the Euroclear System;

•withdrawal 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 record of or relationship with persons

holding securities through Euroclear participants.

Euroclear further advises that investors that acquire, hold and transfer interests in the notes by

book-entry through accounts with the Euroclear Operator or any other securities intermediary are subject

to the laws and contractual provisions governing their relationship with their intermediary, as well as the

laws and contractual provisions governing the relationship between such an intermediary and each other

intermediary, if any, standing between themselves and the notes.

The Euroclear Operator advises that under Belgian law, investors that are credited with securities

on the records of the Euroclear Operator have a co-property right in the fungible pool of interests in

securities on deposit with the Euroclear Operator in an amount equal to the amount of interests in

securities credited to their accounts. In the event of the insolvency of the Euroclear Operator, Euroclear

participants would have a right under Belgian law to the return of the amount and type of interests in

securities credited to their accounts with the Euroclear Operator. If the Euroclear Operator did not have a

sufficient amount of interests in securities on deposit of a particular type to cover the claims of all

Euroclear participants credited with such interests in securities on the Euroclear Operator’s records, all

Euroclear participants having an amount of interests in securities of such type credited to their accounts

with the Euroclear Operator would have the right under Belgian law to the return of their pro rata share of

the amount of interest in securities actually on deposit.

Under Belgian law, the Euroclear Operator is required to pass on the benefits of ownership in any

interests in securities on deposit with it, such as dividends, voting rights and other entitlements, to any

person credited with such interests in securities on its records.

Book-Entry Format

Under the book-entry format, the trustee will pay interest or principal payments to Cede & Co., as

nominee of DTC. DTC will forward the payment to the direct participants, who will then forward the

payment to the indirect participants (including Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear) or to you as the

beneficial owner. You may experience some delay in receiving your payments under this system. Neither

we, the trustee under the indenture nor any paying agent have any direct responsibility or liability for the

payment of principal or interest on the notes to owners of beneficial interests in the notes.

DTC is required to make book-entry transfers on behalf of its direct participants and is required to

receive and transmit payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes. Any direct

participant or indirect participant with which you have an account is similarly required to make book-entry

transfers and to receive and transmit payments with respect to the notes on your behalf. We and the

trustee under the indenture have no responsibility for any aspect of the actions of DTC, Clearstream,

Luxembourg or Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants. In addition, we and the trustee

under the indenture have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records kept by DTC,

S-22

Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants relating to or payments

made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the notes or for maintaining, supervising or

reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. We also do not supervise these

systems in any way.

The trustee will not recognize you as a holder under the indenture, and you can only exercise the

rights of a holder indirectly through DTC and its direct participants. DTC has advised us that it will only

take action regarding a note if one or more of the direct participants to whom the note is credited directs

DTC to take such action and only in respect of the portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes

as to which that participant or participants has or have given that direction. DTC can only act on behalf of

its direct participants. Your ability to pledge notes to non-direct participants, and to take other actions, may

be limited because you will not possess a physical certificate that represents your notes.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to

the notes unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures. Under its usual

procedures, DTC will mail 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

notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear will credit payments to the cash accounts of Clearstream,

Luxembourg customers or Euroclear participants in accordance with the relevant system’s rules and

procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. These payments will be subject to tax reporting in

accordance with relevant United States tax laws and regulations. Clearstream, Luxembourg or the

Euroclear Operator, as the case may be, will take any other action permitted to be taken by a holder

under the indenture on behalf of a Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or Euroclear participant only in

accordance with its relevant rules and procedures and subject to its depositary’s ability to effect those

actions on its behalf through DTC.

DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order

to facilitate transfers of the notes among participants of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear.

However, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform those procedures, and they may

discontinue those procedures at any time.

Transfers Within and Among Book-Entry Systems

Transfers between DTC’s direct participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Transfers

between Clearstream, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants will occur in accordance with its

applicable rules and operating procedures.

DTC will effect cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC,

on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream, Luxembourg customers or Euroclear

participants, on the other hand, in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European

international clearing system by its depositary. However, cross-market transactions will require delivery of

instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in that 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,

instruct its depositary to 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, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver

instructions directly to the depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or

Euroclear resulting from a transaction with a DTC direct participant will be made during the subsequent

securities settlement processing, dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Those

credits or any transactions in those securities settled during that processing will be reported to the

relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or Euroclear participant on that business day. Cash received

S-23

in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by or through a Clearstream,

Luxembourg customer or a Euroclear participant to a DTC direct participant will be received with value on

the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash

amount only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing

procedures in order to facilitate transfers of notes among their respective participants, they are under no

obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued

at any time.

Same-Day Settlement and Payment

The underwriters will settle the notes in immediately available funds. We will make principal and

interest payments on the notes in immediately available funds or the equivalent. Secondary market

trading between DTC direct participants will occur 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, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants will occur in accordance with

their respective applicable rules and operating procedures and will be settled using the procedures

applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds. No assurance can be given as to

the effect, if any, of settlement in immediately available funds on trading activity (if any) in the notes.

Certificated Notes

Unless and until they are exchanged, in whole or in part, for notes in definitive form in accordance

with the terms of the notes, the notes may not be transferred except (1) as a whole by DTC to a nominee

of DTC or (2) by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or (3) by DTC or any such

nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor.

We will issue notes to you or your nominees, in fully certificated registered form, rather than to

DTC or its nominees, only if:

•we advise the trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge its

responsibilities properly or that DTC is no longer a registered clearing agency under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and we are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90

days;

•an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture; or

•we, at our option, elect to terminate the book-entry system through DTC pursuant to DTC

procedures.

If any of the three above events occurs, DTC is required to notify all direct participants that notes

in fully certificated registered form are available through DTC. DTC will then surrender the global note

representing the notes along with instructions for re-registration. The trustee will re-issue the notes in fully

certificated registered form and will recognize the registered holders of the certificated notes as holders

under the indenture.

Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form, (1) you will not be entitled

to receive a certificate representing your interest in the notes; (2) all references in this prospectus

supplement or in the accompanying prospectus to actions by holders will refer to actions taken by the

depositary upon instructions from their direct participants; and (3) all references in this prospectus

supplement or the accompanying prospectus to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments

and notices to the depositary, as the registered holder of the notes, for distribution to you in accordance

with its policies and procedures.

S-24

Notices

The trustee will mail notices by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder’s last

known address as it appears in the security register that the trustee maintains. The trustee will only mail

these notices to the registered holder of the notes, unless we reissue the notes to you or your nominees

in fully certificated form.

Governing Law

The indenture and the notes for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance

with the laws of the State of New York.

S-25

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences and, in the case

of a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below), certain U.S. federal estate tax consequences, of purchasing,

owning and disposing of notes. This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income

and estate taxation that may be relevant to a beneficial owner in light of its particular investment or other

circumstances. This summary applies to a beneficial owner of a note that acquires such note in this

offering for a price equal to the “issue price” of the notes of the applicable series. The issue price of the

notes of a series is the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes of such series is sold for

money to investors, other than to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the

capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers.

This summary addresses notes held as capital assets (generally, investment property), and does

not address special U.S. federal income or estate tax rules that may be applicable to certain categories of

beneficial owners of notes, such as:

▪dealers in securities or currencies;

▪traders in securities;

▪U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

▪persons holding the notes as part of a conversion, constructive sale, wash sale or other

integrated transaction or a hedge, straddle or synthetic security;

▪persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

▪certain U.S. expatriates;

▪financial institutions;

▪insurance companies;

▪controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and regulated

investment companies and shareholders of such corporations;

▪entities that are tax-exempt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and retirement plans,

individual retirement accounts and tax-deferred accounts;

▪pass-through entities, including partnerships and entities and arrangements classified as

partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and beneficial owners of pass-through

entities; and

▪persons that acquire the notes for a price other than the issue price of the applicable series.

In addition, this summary addresses only U.S. federal income tax consequences and, in the case

of Non-U.S. Holders, U.S. federal estate tax consequences, and does not address other U.S. federal tax

consequences, including, for example, gift tax. This summary also does not address any U.S. state or

local income or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences.

If an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds

notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the

status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships considering purchasing notes and

partners in such partnerships should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income and

estate tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the notes.

This summary is based on U.S. federal income and estate tax law, including the Internal Revenue

Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial

S-26

authority, all as in effect or in existence as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Subsequent

developments in U.S. federal income and estate tax law, including changes in law or differing

interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal

income and estate tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of notes as set forth in this

summary. We cannot provide any assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not

challenge one or more of the tax consequences described in this summary, and we have not obtained,

nor do we intend to obtain, any ruling from the IRS or opinion of counsel with respect to the tax

consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes. Before purchasing the notes, each

potential investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local

and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the notes that

may be applicable to such investor.

U.S. Holders

The following summary applies to a U.S. Holder. A “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a note

that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•a corporation (or other entity classified as a corporation for such purposes) created or

organized in, or under the laws, of the United States, any state thereof or the District of

Columbia;

•an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of the

source of that income; or

•a trust, if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s

administration and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of the Code) has

the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (2) the trust has a valid

election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a “United States

person.” 

U.S. Holders that use an accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes are

generally required to include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts are reflected

on certain applicable financial statements. The application of this rule may require the accrual of income

earlier than would be the case under the general U.S. federal income tax rules described below. U.S.

Holders that use an accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult

with their tax advisors regarding the potential applicability of this rule to their particular situation. The

remainder of this summary does not address the application of the foregoing rule.

Payments of Stated Interest

Stated interest on the notes will be included in a U.S. Holder’s gross income and taxed as

ordinary interest income at the time such interest is accrued or received by the U.S. Holder in accordance

with its method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes

Upon the sale, redemption, retirement, exchange or other taxable disposition (each a

“disposition”) of notes, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference,

if any, between:

•the amount realized by the U.S. Holder on the disposition (less any amount attributable to

accrued but unpaid stated interest on such notes); and

•the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such notes, which generally will be their cost.

S-27

Any amount realized on the disposition that is attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest

will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income to the extent not previously included in the

U.S. Holder’s gross income in the manner described above under “—Payments of Stated Interest”. A U.S.

Holder’s gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. This capital gain or loss will be long-term capital

gain or loss if, at the time of the disposition, the U.S. Holder has held the notes for more than one year.

Subject to limited exceptions, capital losses of a U.S. Holder cannot be used to offset ordinary income.

Under current law, long-term capital gain recognized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally is subject

to a preferential rate of U.S. federal income tax.

Medicare Tax on Investment Income

A tax of 3.8% will be imposed on the amount of “net investment income,” in the case of an

individual, or undistributed “net investment income,” in the case of an estate or trust (other than a

charitable trust), which exceeds certain threshold amounts. “Net investment income” as defined for United

States federal Medicare contribution purposes generally includes interest payments and gain recognized

from the sale or other disposition of the notes. Qualified pension trusts, which are not subject to income

taxes generally, and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) that are individuals will not be subject to this

tax. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their

ownership and disposition of the notes.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements may apply with respect to payments to a

U.S. Holder of stated interest on the notes and the proceeds of a disposition of the notes.

In general, “backup withholding” may apply with respect to payments to a U.S. Holder of stated

interest on the notes and the proceeds of a disposition of the notes, if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a

correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the backup

withholding rules and does not otherwise establish an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and any amounts withheld under the backup

withholding rules may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (which may

result in the U.S. Holder being entitled to a refund of U.S. federal income tax), provided that the required

information is timely provided to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

The following summary applies to a beneficial owner of a note that is neither a U.S. Holder (as

defined above) nor an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax

purposes (a “Non-U.S. Holder”).

U.S. Federal Withholding Tax

Subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA (as defined below),

U.S. federal withholding tax will generally not apply to payments of stated interest on the notes to a Non-

U.S. Holder under the “portfolio interest” exception of the Code, provided that:

•the Non-U.S. Holder does not, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of the total

combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote within the meaning of

section 871(h)(3) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder;

•the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax

purposes that is related, directly or indirectly, to us through sufficient stock ownership (as

provided in the Code);

•the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the

Code; and

S-28

•such stated interest is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade

or business within the United States. 

In addition, to qualify for the “portfolio interest” exception, a Non-U.S. Holder will be required to

provide a signed written statement, on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form)

which can reliably be associated with such Non-U.S. Holder, certifying under penalties of perjury that such

Non-U.S. Holder is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code to:

▪the applicable withholding agent; or

▪a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’

securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the Non-U.S. Holder’s

notes on its behalf and that certifies to the applicable withholding agent under penalties of

perjury that it, or the bank or financial institution between it and the Non-U.S. Holder, has

received the signed, written statement described above from the Non-U.S. Holder and

provides the applicable withholding agent with a copy of this statement.

The applicable U.S. Treasury regulations provide alternative methods for satisfying the foregoing

certification requirement. In addition, under these U.S. Treasury regulations, special rules apply to pass-

through entities and this certification requirement may also apply to beneficial owners of pass-through

entities.

If a Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements of the “portfolio interest” exception described

above, payments of stated interest made to such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to 30% U.S. federal

withholding tax unless such Non-U.S. Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly

executed (1) IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that interest paid on the notes is not

subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a

trade or business within the United States or (2) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable

form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in this withholding tax under an applicable income tax

treaty.

Any gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder upon a disposition of a note (other than any amount

representing accrued but unpaid stated interest, which is treated as described immediately above)

generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, subject to the discussions below regarding

backup withholding and FATCA, as defined below.

U.S. Federal Income Tax

Except for the possible application of U.S. federal withholding tax discussed above, and subject

to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, as defined below, a Non-U.S. Holder

generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on payments of principal of and stated interest on

the notes, or on any gain realized from (or accrued stated interest treated as received in connection with)

the disposition of the notes unless:

•in the case of stated interest payments or disposition proceeds representing accrued stated

interest, the Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements of the “portfolio interest”

exception described above (and the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability has

not otherwise been fully satisfied through the U.S. federal withholding tax described above);

•in the case of gain, the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States

for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition of the notes and

specific other conditions are met (in which case, except as otherwise provided by an

applicable income tax treaty, the gain, which may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses,

generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax, even though the Non-U.S.

Holder is not considered a resident alien under the Code); or

S-29

•any stated interest or gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a

trade or business within the United States and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty,

is attributable to a United States “permanent establishment” maintained by the Non-U.S.

Holder.

If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States, and stated

interest or gain in respect of the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business

(and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States “permanent

establishment” maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder), the stated interest or gain generally will be subject to

U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to a

U.S. Holder (although the stated interest will be exempt from the withholding discussed in the preceding

paragraphs if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS

Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) on or before any payment date to claim the exemption). In

addition, a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its

effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, unless a

lower rate applies to such Non-U.S. Holder under an applicable income tax treaty.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Backup withholding will not apply to payments of interest made on the notes to a Non-U.S. Holder

if the Non-U.S. Holder has provided to the applicable withholding agent the required certification that it is

not a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code as described in “—U.S. Federal Withholding

Tax” above, provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to

know that the Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person. However, the applicable withholding agent may

be required to report to the IRS and to the Non-U.S. Holder payments of stated interest on the notes and

the amount of U.S. federal income tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the

information returns reporting such stated interest payments and any withholding may also be made

available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of

a treaty or agreement.

The gross proceeds from the disposition of a Non-U.S. Holder’s notes may be subject, in certain

circumstances discussed below, to information reporting and backup withholding. If a Non-U.S. Holder

sells its notes outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the sales

proceeds are paid to the Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States, then the U.S. backup withholding

and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, U.S.

information reporting, but not backup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if that

payment is made outside the United States, if the Non-U.S. Holder sells its notes through a non-U.S.

office of a broker that is a “United States person” (as defined in the Code) or has certain enumerated

connections with the United States, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the Non-

U.S. Holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder

otherwise qualifies for an exemption. If a Non-U.S. Holder receives payment of the proceeds from a sale

of its notes through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment will be subject to both U.S. backup withholding

and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or

other applicable form) certifying that it is not a United States person or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise

qualifies for an exemption, provided that the broker does not have actual knowledge, or reason to know,

that the Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not,

in fact, satisfied.

Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding application of the backup

withholding rules to its particular circumstance and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an

exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts

withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal

income tax liability (which may result in such Non-U.S. Holder being entitled to a refund of U.S. federal

income tax), provided that the required information is timely provided to the IRS.

S-30

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

Unless otherwise provided in an applicable estate tax or other treaty, a note held by a Non-U.S.

Holder that is an individual and not a citizen or a resident of the United States (as specially defined for

U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of his or her death generally will not be subject to the U.S.

federal estate tax, unless, at the time of the Non-U.S. Holder’s death: (i) the Non-U.S. Holder actually or

constructively owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to

vote within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder; or

(ii) stated interest on the Non-U.S. Holder’s notes is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s

conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Prospective purchasers of the notes should

consult their own tax advisors regarding the estate tax rules.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and related U.S. Treasury guidance (commonly referred

to as “FATCA”) impose U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% on payments to certain foreign

entities of (i) U.S.-source interest (including interest paid on the notes) and (ii) the gross proceeds from

the sale or other disposition of an obligation that produces U.S.-source interest (including a disposition of

the notes). This withholding tax applies to a foreign entity, whether acting as a beneficial owner or an

intermediary, unless such foreign entity complies with (i) certain information reporting requirements

regarding its U.S. account holders and its U.S. owners and (ii) certain withholding obligations regarding

certain payments to its account holders and certain other persons. Accordingly, the entity through which a

U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder holds its notes will affect the determination of whether such withholding

is required. Future U.S. Treasury regulations, or other guidance, may modify these requirements. Under

proposed U.S. Treasury regulations that may be relied upon pending finalization, the withholding tax on

gross proceeds would be eliminated and, consequently, FATCA withholding on gross proceeds is not

currently expected to apply. We will not pay any additional amounts to U.S. Holders or Non-U.S. Holders

in respect of any amounts withheld under FATCA. U.S. Holders that own their interests in a note through

a foreign entity or intermediary, and Non-U.S. Holders, are encouraged to consult their tax advisors

regarding FATCA.

The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the notes being offered, 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 of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to

securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering prices of up to 0.200% of the

principal amount, with respect to the 5.125% notes, 0.250% of the principal amount, with respect to

the 5.300% notes, 0.250% of the principal amount, with respect to the 5.450% notes or 0.525% of the

principal amount, with respect to the 5.900% 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 prices of up to 0.150% of the principal amount, with respect to the 5.125% notes, 0.150% of the

principal amount, with respect to the 5.300% notes, 0.200% of the principal amount, with respect to

the 5.450% notes or 0.350% of the principal amount, with respect to the 5.900% notes. If all the notes of

any of these series are not sold at the initial offering prices, the underwriters may change the offering

prices and the other selling terms of the notes. The offering of the notes of each series by the

underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject, cancel or

modify any order in whole or in part.

Each series of notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. None of the

series of notes will be listed on any securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system.

We have been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters may make a market in the notes of each

series after completion of the offering but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making

at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the

notes of any series. If an active public trading market for the notes of any series does not develop, the

market price and liquidity of the notes of such series may be adversely affected.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell notes in the open market.

These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions

S-32

created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of notes than

they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases

made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while the

offering is in progress.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter

repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the

representatives have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or

short covering transactions.

These activities by the underwriters in the foregoing three paragraphs may stabilize, maintain or

otherwise affect the market price of the notes of any series. As a result, the price of the notes of any

series may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are

commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be

effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We expect to deliver the notes offered hereby against payment for the notes on or about the date

specified in the last paragraph of the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the fourth

business day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+4”).

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of

1934, as amended, 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 on any date prior to the business day before delivery of the notes will be required, by

virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+4 business days, to specify an alternate settlement

cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to

make such trades should consult their own advisors.

We estimate that our share of the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts

and commissions, will be approximately $435,000.

To the extent any underwriter that is not a U.S.-registered broker-dealer intends to effect sales of

notes in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S.-registered broker-dealers in accordance

with the applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations or otherwise in accordance with applicable U.S.

securities laws and regulations.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including

liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and

may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking

services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the trustee under the indenture, is an affiliate of Deutsche Bank

Securities Inc.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their respective

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 respective affiliates that have a

lending relationship with us may hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk

management policies, including 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 respective affiliates may also make investment

recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of our securities or

S-33

instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short

positions in our securities and instruments.

Sales Outside the United States

Each underwriter has agreed that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it will not offer,

sell or deliver any of the notes in any jurisdiction outside the United States except under circumstances

that will result in compliance with the applicable laws thereof. Each underwriter has acknowledged that no

action has been taken to permit a public offering in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action

would be required for such purpose. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the

notes may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, and neither this document nor any

offering circular, prospectus, form of application, advertisement or other offering material may be

distributed or published in any country or jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in

compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and the underwriters have represented that all

offers, sales and deliveries by them will be made on these terms.

European Economic Area

Prohibition of Sales to European Economic Area (“EEA”) Retail Investors – Each underwriter has

represented and agreed that the notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available and it has

not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any notes

to any retail investor in the EEA. For the purposes of this provision, the expression “retail investor” means

a person who is one (or more) of the following:

(i)a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive (EU) 2014/65 (as amended,

“MiFID II”); or

(ii)a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended), where that customer

would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

(iii)not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended); and

the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information

on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or

subscribe for the notes.

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as

amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to

retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise

making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any

offer of notes in any member state of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the

Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. Neither this

prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the

Prospectus Regulation.  For purposes of these provisions, “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation

(EU) 2017/1129 (as amended).

United Kingdom

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have not been approved by an

authorized person in the United Kingdom (the “UK”) and are being distributed only to, and are directed

only at, and any offer subsequently made may only be directed at persons who (i) are outside the UK or

(ii) are “qualified investors” as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the Public Offers and Admissions

to Trading Regulations 2024 (the “POATRs”) who also (a) have professional experience in matters

relating to investments (being investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial

Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the “Financial Promotion

S-34

Order”)), (b) are persons falling within Article 43(2) of the Financial Promotion Order, (c) are persons

engage in investment activity within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act

2000 (the “FSMA”) in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be

communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant

persons”). This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus must not be acted on or relied

on in the UK by persons who are not relevant persons. In the UK, any investment or investment activity to

which this document relates is only available to, and will be engaged in with, relevant persons.

Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors – Each underwriter has represented and agreed that

the notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available and it has not offered, sold or otherwise

made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any notes to any retail investor in the

UK. For the purposes of this provision, the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or

both) of the following:

(i)not a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014

as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018

(“EUWA”); or

(ii)not a qualified investor, as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the POATRs .

Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook

(“DISC”) for offering, selling or distributing the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors

in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the notes or otherwise making

them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite

Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.

Other Regulatory Restrictions – Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:

(i)it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause

to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the

meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any

notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to us; and

(ii)it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to

anything done by it in relation to any notes in, from or otherwise involving the UK.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis

that any offer of notes in the UK will be made pursuant to an exception from the prohibition on offers of

notes to the public under the POATRs.

Hong Kong

Each underwriter has agreed that the notes may not be offered or sold and it has not offered or

sold and will not offer or sell the notes in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than (a) to

“professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the laws of Hong

document being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions)

Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the laws of Hong Kong) (the “CO”) or which do not constitute an offer to the public

within the meaning of the CO; and no advertisement, invitation or document relating to the notes may be

its possession for the purpose of issue and will not issue or have in its possession for the purpose of

issue any advertisement, invitation or document relating to the notes (in each case whether in Hong Kong

S-35

respect to the notes which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or

only to “professional investors” as defined in the SFO and any rules made thereunder.

forth or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. See

from the sales of debt securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes.

7

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This section describes the general terms and provisions of any debt securities that we may offer

in the future. A prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the

specific terms of that particular series and the extent to which the general terms and provisions apply to

that particular series. In this section, references to “Procter & Gamble,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer solely to

The Procter & Gamble Company.

General

We expect to issue the debt securities under an indenture, dated as of September 3, 2009,

between us and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee. We have filed a copy of the

indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following

summaries of various provisions of the indenture are not complete. You should read the indenture for a

more complete understanding of the provisions described in this section. The indenture itself, not this

description or the description in the prospectus supplement, defines your rights as a holder of debt

securities. Parenthetical section and article numbers in this description refer to sections and articles in the

indenture.

The debt securities will be unsecured obligations of Procter & Gamble. The indenture does not

limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue under the indenture. The indenture provides that we

may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series.

Terms of a Particular Series

Each prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will include specific

information relating to the offering. This information will include some or all of the following terms of the

debt securities of the series:

•the title of the debt securities;

•any limit on the total principal amount of the debt securities;

•the date or dates on which the debt securities will mature;

•the rate or rates, which may be fixed or variable, at which the debt securities will bear

interest, if any, and the date or dates from which interest will accrue;

•the dates on which interest, if any, will be payable and the regular record dates for interest

payments;

•any mandatory or optional sinking fund or similar provisions;

•any optional or mandatory redemption provisions, including the price at which, the periods

within which, and the terms and conditions upon which we may redeem or repurchase the

debt securities;

•the terms and conditions upon which the debt securities may be repayable prior to final

maturity at the option of the holder;

•the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities that will be payable upon

acceleration of maturity, if other than the entire principal amount;

•provisions allowing us to defease the debt securities or certain restrictive covenants and

certain events of default under the indenture;

•if other than in United States dollars, the currency or currencies, including composite

currencies, of payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities;

8

•the U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any

debt securities denominated in a currency or currencies other than United States dollars;

•any index used to determine the amount of payments of principal of and premium, if any, and

interest, if any, on the debt securities;

•if the debt securities will be issuable only in the form of a global security as described below,

the depository or its nominee with respect to the debt securities and the circumstances under

which the global security may be registered for transfer or exchange in the name of a person

other than the depository or its nominee;

•any deletions, modifications of or additions to the events of default or covenants contained in

the indenture; and

•any other terms of the debt securities. (Section 301)

Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, principal of and premium, if any, and

interest, if any, on the debt securities will be payable, and the debt securities will be exchangeable and

transfers of debt securities will be registrable, at the office of the trustee at 1 Columbus Circle, 4th Floor,

MS: NYC01-0417, New York, New York 10019. At our option, however, payment of interest may be made

by:

•check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto in whose name the debt security is

registered at the close of business on the regular record date at the address in the security

register; or

•wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing to us and the

trustee from any holder of debt securities prior to the relevant record date. (Sections 301, 305

and 1002)

Any payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, required to be made on a day

that is not a business day need not be made on that day, but may be made on the next succeeding

business day with the same force and effect as if made on the non-business day. No interest will accrue

for the period from and after the non-business day. (Section 113)

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt

securities, we will issue the debt securities only in fully registered form, without coupons, in

denominations of $2,000 or any multiple of $1,000. (Section 302) We will not require a service charge for

any transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover

any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any transfer or exchange. (Section 305)

Original Issue Discount Securities

Debt securities may be issued under the indenture as original issue discount securities to be

offered and sold at a substantial discount from their stated principal amount. In addition, under regulations

of the U.S. Treasury Department it is possible that debt securities which are offered and sold at their

stated principal amount would, under certain circumstances, be treated as issued at an original issue

discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and special rules may apply to debt securities which are

considered to be issued as “investment units.” U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special

considerations applicable to any such original issue discount securities, or other debt securities treated as

issued at an original issue discount, and to “investment units” will be described in the applicable

prospectus supplement.

9

Book-Entry Debt Securities

The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global securities that will

be deposited with a depository or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt

securities. In this case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or total

denominations equal to the portion of the total principal amount of outstanding debt securities to be

represented by the global security or

securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive

registered form, a global security may not be registered for transfer or exchange except as a whole by the

depository for the global security to a nominee of the depository and except in the circumstances

described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. We will describe in the prospectus

supplement the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial

interests in any global debt security. (Sections 204 and 305)

Restrictive Covenants

In this section we describe the principal covenants that will apply to the debt securities unless the

prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities states otherwise. We make use of several

defined terms in this section. The definitions for these terms are located at the end of this section under

10

Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks

Neither we nor any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction

involving any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property, the completion of construction and

commencement of full operation of which has occurred more than 180 days prior to the transaction,

unless

•we or the Domestic Subsidiary could incur a lien on the property under the restrictions

described above under “Restrictions on Secured Debt” in an amount equal to the Attributable

Debt with respect to the sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing

the debt securities then outstanding, or

This restriction will not apply to any sale and leaseback transaction

•involving the taking back of a lease for a period of less than three years. (Section 1005)

          Definitions Applicable to Covenants

The term “Attributable Debt” means the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Principal

Domestic Manufacturing Property sold and leased back at the time of entering into a sale and leaseback

transaction and (2) the total net amount of rent, discounted at 10% per annum compounded annually,

required to be paid during the remaining term of any lease.

The term “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means our total assets, less net goodwill and other

intangible assets, less total current liabilities, all as described on our and our consolidated subsidiaries’

most recent balance sheet and calculated based on positions as reported in our consolidated financial

statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The term “Debt” means notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for

money borrowed.

The term “Domestic Subsidiary” means any of our subsidiaries except a subsidiary which neither

transacts any substantial portion of its business nor regularly maintains any substantial portion of its fixed

by obligations the interest on which is exempt from U.S. federal income tax pursuant to Section 103 of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any predecessor or successor provision thereof), or (2)

which, in the opinion of our board of directors, is not of material importance to the total business

conducted by us and our subsidiaries as an entirety. (Section 101)

Events of Default

Any one of the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to debt securities

of any series:

(1)our failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on any debt security of that series when due;

(2)our failure to pay any interest on any debt security of that series when due, continued for 30

days;

(3)our failure to deposit any sinking fund payment, when due, in respect of any debt security of

that series;

(4)our failure to perform any other of our covenants in the indenture which affects or is

applicable to the debt securities of that series, other than a covenant included in the indenture

solely for the benefit of other series of debt securities, continued for 90 days after written

notice as provided in the indenture;

(5)certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and

(6)any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series. (Section 501)

If an event of default with respect to outstanding debt securities of any series shall occur and be

continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt

securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the debt securities of that series are

original issue discount securities, the portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of

that series) of all the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. At any time after a

declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a

judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal

amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, under some circumstances, rescind and

annul the acceleration. (Section 502) For information as to waiver of defaults, see the section below

entitled “Modification and Waiver.”

A prospectus supplement relating to each series of debt securities which are original issue

discount securities will describe the particular provisions relating to acceleration of the maturity of a

portion of the principal amount of such original issue discount securities upon the occurrence of an event

of default and its continuation.

During default, the trustee has a duty to act with the required standard of care. Otherwise, the

indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under

the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders shall have offered to the

trustee reasonable indemnity. (Section 603) If the provisions for indemnification of the trustee have been

satisfied, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will

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 the debt securities

of that series. (Section 512)

We will furnish to the trustee annually a certificate as to our compliance with all conditions and

covenants under the indenture. (Section 1007)

12

Defeasance

The prospectus supplement will state if any defeasance provision will apply to the debt securities.

Defeasance refers to the discharge of some or all of our obligations under the indenture.

          Defeasance and Discharge

We will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series if

we deposit with the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. government securities which through the payment

of interest and principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if

any, and each installment of interest on the debt securities of the series on the dates those payments are

due and payable.

If we defease a series of debt securities, the holders of the debt securities of the series will not be

entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for

•the rights of holders to receive from the trust funds payment of principal, premium and

interest on the debt securities,

•our obligation to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series,

•our obligation to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series,

•our obligation to maintain paying agencies,

•our obligation to hold monies for payment in trust, and

•the rights of holders to benefit, as applicable, from the rights, powers, trusts, duties and

immunities of the trustee.

We may defease a series of debt securities only if, among other things, we have delivered to the

Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by,

the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that holders and beneficial owners of the debt

securities of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a

result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the

same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit,

defeasance and discharge had not occurred. (Section 403)

          Defeasance of Covenants and Events of Default

We may omit to comply with the covenants described above under “Restrictions on Secured

Debt” (Section 1004) and “Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks” (Section 1005), and the failure to

comply with these covenants will not be deemed an event of default (Section 501(4)), if we deposit with

the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. government securities which through the payment of interest and

principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and each

installment of interest on the debt securities of the series on the dates those payments are due and

payable. Our obligations under the indenture and the debt securities of the series will remain in full force

and effect, other than with respect to the defeased covenants and related events of default.

We may defease the covenants and the related events of default described above only if, among

other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel, who may be our employee or

counsel, to the effect that the holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of the series will not

recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and

defeasance of the covenants and events of default, and the holders and beneficial owners of the debt

securities of the series will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same

manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and defeasance had not

occurred. (Section 1006)

13

If we choose covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of any series as described

above and the debt securities of the series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of

any event of default other than the event of default described in clause (4) under “Events of Default,” the

amount of money and U.S. government securities on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay

amounts due on the debt securities of the series at the time of their stated maturity. The amount on

deposit with the trustee may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of the series at

the time of the acceleration resulting from the event of default. However, we will remain liable for these

payments.

Modification and Waiver

Procter & Gamble and the trustee may make modifications of and amendments to the indenture if

the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series

affected by the modification or amendment consent to the modification or amendment.

However, the consent of the holder of each debt security affected will be required for any

modification or amendment that

•changes the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on,

any debt security,

•reduces the principal amount of, or the premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any debt

security,

•reduces the amount of principal of an original issue discount security payable upon

acceleration of the maturity of the security,

•changes the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if

any, on, any debt security,

•impairs the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any debt security, or

•reduces the percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series necessary to

modify or amend the indenture or to waive compliance with various provisions of the

indenture or to waive various defaults. (Section 902)

Without the consent of any holder of debt securities, we and the trustee may make modifications

or amendments to the indenture in order to

•evidence the succession of another person to us and the assumption by that person of the

covenants in the indenture,

•add to the covenants for the benefit of the holders,

•add additional events of default,

•permit or facilitate the issuance of securities in bearer form or uncertificated form,

•add to, change, or eliminate any provision of the indenture in respect of a series of debt

securities to be created in the future,

•secure the securities as required by “—Restrictive Covenants-Restrictions on Secured Debt,”

•establish the form or terms of securities of any series,

•evidence the appointment of a successor trustee, or

14

•cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with

another provision, or make any other provision, provided that any action may not adversely

affect the interests of holders of debt securities in any material respect. (Section 901)

The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any

series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive compliance by us with

various restrictive provisions of the indenture. (Section 1008)

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may

on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive any past default with respect to that

series, except

•a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any debt security

of that series, or

•a default in respect of a provision which under the indenture cannot be modified or amended

without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of that series that would

be affected. (Section 513)

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

If the conditions below are met, we may, without the consent of any holders of outstanding debt

securities:

•consolidate or merge with or into another entity, or

•transfer or lease our assets as an entirety to another entity.

We have agreed that we will engage in a consolidation, merger or transfer or lease of assets as

an entirety only if

•either we are the surviving entity or the entity formed by the consolidation or into which we

are merged or which acquires or leases our assets is a corporation, partnership, limited

liability company or trust organized and existing under the laws of any United States

jurisdiction and assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture,

•after giving effect to the transaction no event of default would have happened and be

continuing, and

•various other conditions are met. (Article Eight)

Regarding the Trustee

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the trustee under the indenture. In addition, affiliates

of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas may perform various commercial banking and investment

banking services for Procter & Gamble and its subsidiaries from time to time in the ordinary course of

business.

15

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

General

We may sell debt securities in one or more transactions from time to time to or through

underwriters, who may act as principals or agents, directly to other purchasers or through agents to other

purchasers.

A prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of debt securities may include the

following information:

•the terms of the offering,

•the names of any underwriters or agents,

•the purchase price of the securities,

•the net proceeds from the sale of the securities,

•any delayed delivery arrangements,

•any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation,

•any initial public offering price, and

•any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

The distribution of the debt securities may be effected from time to time in one or more

transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of

sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

Underwriting Compensation

In connection with the sale of debt securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us or

from purchasers for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.

Underwriters may sell debt securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in

the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the

purchasers for whom they may act as agents.

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of debt securities may be

deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions that they receive from

us and any profit that they receive on the resale of debt securities may be deemed to be underwriting

discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any entity is deemed an underwriter or any

amounts deemed underwriting discounts and commissions, the prospectus supplement will identify the

underwriter or agent and describe the compensation received from us.

Indemnification

We may enter agreements under which underwriters and agents who participate in the

distribution of debt securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against various liabilities, including

liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters,

dealers or agents may be required to make.

Related Transactions

Various of the underwriters who participate in the distribution of debt securities, and their affiliates,

may perform various commercial banking and investment banking services for us from time to time in the

ordinary course of business.

16

Delayed Delivery Contracts

We may authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by

institutions to purchase debt securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery

on a future date. These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies,

pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases

we must approve these institutions. The obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will be

subject to the condition that the purchase of the debt securities shall not at the time of delivery be

prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and

other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

No Established Trading Market

The debt securities, when first issued, will have no established trading market. Any underwriters

or agents to or through whom we sell debt securities for public offering and sale may make a market in

the securities but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time

without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the debt securities.

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, until the distribution of the securities is completed,

rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters to bid for and purchase the securities. As an

exception to these rules, representatives of any underwriters are permitted to engage in transactions that

stabilize the price of the securities. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose

of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If the underwriters create a short position in

the securities in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more securities than are set forth on the

cover page of the prospectus supplement, the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short

position by purchasing securities in the open market.

We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the

transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, we make no

representation that the representatives of any underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these

transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

17

prospectus supplement, the validity of those securities may be passed upon for The Procter & Gamble
