We are offering
$600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.700% Notes due 2031 (the 2031 notes) and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.200% Notes due 2055 (the 2055 notes and, together with the 2031 notes, the

The 2055 notes will be issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which we previously issued
$650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.200% Notes due February 15, 2055 (the initial 2055 notes). The 2055 notes offered hereby will have the same terms as the initial 2055 notes other than the date of issuance and the
issue price, will be treated as a single series of securities with the initial 2055 notes under the indenture, will be fungible with the initial 2055 notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will have the same CUSIP number as the initial 2055
notes and will trade interchangeably with the initial 2055 notes. Holders of the 2055 notes offered hereby and the initial 2055 notes will vote as one class under the indenture. Upon the issuance of the 2055 notes offered hereby, the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding 5.200% Notes due February 15, 2055 will be $1,050,000,000.
The 2031 notes will mature on December 15,
2031 and the 2055 notes will mature on February 15, 2055. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus supplement. See Description of the
NotesOptional Redemption in this prospectus supplement. We will pay interest on the 2031 notes semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2025. We will pay interest on the 2055 notes
semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2025. The notes will be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and $1,000 multiples above that amount. For a more detailed description of
the notes, see Description of the Notes in this prospectus supplement.
The notes will be our general unsecured obligations and
will rank equally in right of payment with our other current and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt, but effectively will be junior to any current and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that debt. The notes also
effectively will be subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries to the extent of our subsidiaries assets. See Description of the Notes.
Investing in the notes involves risk. See Risk Factors on page
S-6 of this prospectus supplement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference herein, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports that we subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC).
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of
the notes or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
