On August 10, 2020, CUSA and the Corporation entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P.

The 2022 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2022 Floating Rate Notes will mature on August 12, 2022, the 2023 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2023 Floating Rate Notes will mature on August 11, 2023, the 2025 Fixed Rate Notes will mature on August 12, 2025, the 2027 Fixed Rate Notes will mature on August 12, 2027, and the 2050 Fixed Rate Notes will mature on August 12, 2050.

CUSA will pay interest on (i) the 2022 Fixed Rate Notes, the 2025 Fixed Rate Notes, the 2027 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2050 Fixed Rate Notes on February 12 and August 12 of each year starting on February 12, 2021, (ii) the 2023 Fixed Rate Notes on February 11 and August 11 of each year starting on February 11, 2021, (iii) the 2022 Floating Rate Notes on February 12, May 12, August 12 and November 12 of each year starting on November 12, 2020, and (iii) the 2023 Floating Rate Notes on February 11, May 11, August 11 and November 11 of each year starting on November 11, 2020. The 2022 Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.110%, and the 2023 Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.200%, in each case subject to the provisions set forth in the Final Prospectus Supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2020 (Registration Statement Nos. 333-242506 and 333-242506-01) (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”). CUSA will have the right to redeem the fixed rate notes in whole or in part at any time prior to maturity at the redemption price described in the Final Prospectus Supplement. CUSA will not have the right to redeem the 2022 Floating Rate Notes or the 2023 Floating Rate Notes prior to maturity.

CUSA and the Corporation have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Prospectus dated August 7, 2020 (Registration Statement Nos. 333-242506 and 333-242506-01), a Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated August 10, 2020, a Free Writing Prospectus dated August 10, 2020, and a Final Prospectus Supplement dated August 10, 2020 in connection with the public offering and guarantee of the Notes.
