The information in this pricing term sheet should be read together with the preliminary prospectus supplement dated October 29, 2026 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, and the accompanying base prospectus dated October 29, 2026, each filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Registration Statement No. 333-282881).

Early Settlement Upon a Fundamental Change:
|
Subject to certain conditions described under “Description of the Purchase Contracts—Early Settlement Upon a Fundamental Change” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, following a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) that occurs prior to the 30th scheduled trading day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each holder of a purchase contract, subject to certain conditions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, will have the right to accelerate and settle the purchase contract early on the “fundamental change early settlement date” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) at the settlement rate determined as if the applicable market value were determined, for such purpose, based on the “market value averaging period” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) starting on the 22nd scheduled trading day prior to the fundamental change early settlement date and ending on, and including, the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the fundamental change early settlement date, plus an additional make-whole amount of shares (such additional make-whole amount of shares being hereafter referred to as the “make-whole shares”). This right is referred to as the “fundamental change early settlement right.”
The number of make-whole shares per purchase contract will be determined by the Company by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the fundamental change occurs or becomes effective (the “effective date”) and the “stock price” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement): |
| Stock Price | ||||||||||||||
| Effective Date | $10.00 | $20.00 | $30.00 | $40.00 | $50.00 | $58.57 | $63.00 | $68.82 | $80.00 | $100.00 | $120.00 | $140.00 | $160.00 | $180.00 |
| November 3, 2026 | 0.6321 | 0.3096 | 0.1990 | 0.1298 | 0.0713 | 0.0000 | 0.0720 | 0.1195 | 0.0918 | 0.0638 | 0.0492 | 0.0400 | 0.0335 | 0.0285 |
| November 1, 2027 | 0.4351 | 0.2133 | 0.1382 | 0.0907 | 0.0428 | 0.0000 | 0.0458 | 0.0935 | 0.0673 | 0.0442 | 0.0338 | 0.0276 | 0.0232 | 0.0198 |

| November 1, 2029 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| The stock prices set forth in the column headers of the table above will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events requiring anti-dilution adjustments to the fixed settlement rates in a manner inversely proportional to the adjustments to the fixed settlement rates, as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. The exact stock price and effective date applicable to a fundamental change may not be set forth on the table, in which case: (i) if the stock price is between two stock prices on the table or the effective date is between two effective dates on the table, the number of make-whole shares will be determined by straight line interpolation based on a 365-day year, as applicable; (ii) if the stock price is in excess of $180.00 per share (subject to adjustment), the number of make-whole shares will be zero; and (iii) if the stock price is less than $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment) (the “minimum stock price”), the number of make-whole shares will be determined as if the stock price equaled the minimum stock price, using straight line interpolation, if the effective date is between two effective dates on the table. Unless the Treasury portfolio has replaced the RSNs as a component of the Corporate Units as a result of a successful optional remarketing, holders of Corporate Units may exercise the fundamental change early settlement right only in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units. If the Treasury portfolio has replaced the RSNs as a component of Corporate Units, holders of the Corporate Units may exercise the fundamental change early settlement right only in integral multiples of 80,000 Corporate Units. A holder of Treasury Units may exercise the fundamental change early settlement right only in integral multiples of 20 Treasury Units. |
