The Private Placement Notes consist of (a) ¥18,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 1.990% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2032, (b) ¥38,300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 2.320% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2035, (c) ¥11,600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 2.650% Senior Notes, Series C, due 2040, and (d) ¥7,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.040% Senior Notes, Series D, due 2045.

The Private Placement Notes bear interest on the outstanding principal balance at the stated rates per annum from the date of issuance, payable semiannually on May 29 and November 29 of each year, commencing November 29, 2025, until such principal becomes due and payable. The Private Placement Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured senior indebtedness of the Company.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants, events of default, prepayment and other standard terms and conditions, many of which are consistent with terms and conditions of the Company's other obligations, including under its existing credit facility.
