Changes from Preliminary Prospectus Supplement:

In addition to pricing information set forth above, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement will be updated to reflect the following changes (and other information is deemed to have changed to the extent affected thereby):

Description of Notes:
The following paragraph replaces the second full paragraph on page S-17 of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement:
 
The Notes are to be issued under an indenture, to be dated as of July 12, 2024 (the “base indenture”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture, to be dated as of July 12, 2024 (the “supplemental indenture” and, together with the base indenture, the “Indenture”), between us and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “trustee”). The Notes will be issued in three series of U.S. dollar denominated Notes. We will initially issue $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.050% senior notes that will mature on July 12, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), $2,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.050% senior notes that will mature on July 12, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.150% senior notes that will mature on November 15, 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and together with the 2027 Notes and 2029 Notes, the “Notes”).

* 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.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about July 12, 2024, which will be the fourth business day following the date of this pricing term sheet (such settlement being referred to as “T+4”).  Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.  Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to closing may be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+4, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
