Item 5. Other Information

Rule 10b5-1 Plan Elections

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, none of our directors or officers adopted, modified, or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as such terms are defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Commercial Paper Program

The information set forth below in this Item 5 is included herein in lieu of reporting on a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation of a Registrant.

On October 25, 2023, we established a commercial paper program (the “Program”) pursuant to which we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes (the “CP Notes”) under the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the CP Notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $500.0 million. The CP Notes will have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The CP Notes will rank pari passu with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds of the issuances of the CP Notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. We plan to use our revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of CP Notes outstanding under the Program. No CP Notes are currently outstanding under the Program.

One or more commercial paper dealers will each act as a dealer under the Program (each, a “Dealer,” and collectively, the “Dealers”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the respective commercial paper dealer agreement entered into between us and each Dealer (each, a “Dealer Agreement,” and collectively, the “Dealer Agreements”). We may engage additional commercial paper dealers to act as dealers under the Program. A national bank will act as the issuing and paying agent under the Program pursuant to the terms of an issuing and paying agent agreement.

The Dealer Agreements provide the terms under which the Dealers will either purchase from us or arrange for the sale of the CP Notes by us. The Dealer Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions.

From time to time, the Dealers and certain of their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, lending, commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services to us and our affiliates for which such Dealers have received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

The CP Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any CP Notes.
