Optional Redemption:   

Prior to July 18, 2028 (one month prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the redemption price calculated by the Issuer (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

 

•  (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed, assuming that such Notes matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date; and

 

•  100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed,

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

In addition, at any time and from time to time on or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Change of Control Repurchase:    Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event (which involves the occurrence of both a change of control and a below investment grade rating of the Notes by both Moody’s and S&P), the Issuer will be required, unless the Issuer has exercised its option to redeem the Notes, to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of repurchase.
CUSIP/ISIN:    469814 AB3 / US469814AB34

*Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time, and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

**It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about August 18, 2023, which is the third business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the second business day prior to the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to the second business day prior to the settlement date should consult their own advisors.
