Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has identified Union Pacific Corporation (the Company) as part of the United States critical infrastructure and the Company continues to work to provide safe, efficient and reliable transportation services for its employees, customers, and communities. As reported in a prospectus filed today with the SEC related to a registered offering of senior notes, despite these efforts, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s 2020 financial and operating results, which may be material, is highly uncertain and depends on numerous factors including but not limited to the impact of federal, state and local government regulations; the effect of the pandemic’s economic impact on demand for the Company’s services; and potential disruption to global supply chains. The Company’s financial outlook for 2020, as previously provided, does not include the potential impact of COVID-19. The Company will address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations and expectations for 2020 during its first quarter earnings conference call scheduled for April 23, 2020 at 7:45 AM CDT.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements also generally include, without limitation, information or statements regarding: projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts as to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ business, financial, and operational results, and future economic performance; and management’s beliefs, expectations, goals, and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.



Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times that, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information, including expectations regarding operational and financial improvements and the Company’s future performance or results are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statement. Important factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses by governments, businesses, and individuals thereto, and risk factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 7, 2020, could affect the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.



Forward-looking statements speak only as of, and are based only upon information available on, the date the statements were made. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
