RISK FACTORS
Any investment in the Notes involves a degree of risk, including but not limited to the risks described below. In addition, you should
carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as
well as the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties described below and in our Annual Report are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
European Union regulation and reform of “benchmarks”, including EURIBOR, is ongoing and could have a material adverse effect on the value and
return on the Notes.
EURIBOR and other interest rate, equity, commodity, foreign exchange rate and other types of indices which are
deemed to be “benchmarks” are the subject of ongoing international regulatory reform in the European Union. Regulatory changes and the uncertainty as to the nature of such potential changes, alternative reference rates or other reforms
may adversely affect the trading market for EURIBOR-based securities, including the Notes. Any changes announced by regulators or any other governance or oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body, in the method pursuant to which the
EURIBOR rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the reported EURIBOR rates. If that were to occur, the level of interest payments and the value of the Notes may be affected. Although the Notes provide for
alternative methods of calculating the interest rate payable on the Notes if EURIBOR is not reported, which include requesting certain rates from major reference banks in the euro-zone interbank market, or alternatively using EURIBOR for the
immediately preceding interest period or using the initial interest rate, as applicable, uncertainty as to the extent and manner of future changes may adversely affect the current trading market for EURIBOR-based securities and the value of the
Notes. To the extent that EURIBOR is discontinued, is no longer quoted, or is unavailable, the rate on the Notes will be determined as set forth in “Description of the Notes.” Any of these alternative methods may result in interest rates
and/or payments that are higher than, lower than or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the interest rates and/or payments that would have been made on the Notes if the EURIBOR rate was available in its current form.
