OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Union Pacific
Corporation (NYSE:UNP; and "Union Pacific" or the
"Corporation") today announced the pricing terms of its
private offers to exchange certain of its outstanding notes and
debentures referenced in the table below (the "Existing
Notes") for a combination of new notes due 2062 (the "New
Notes") and cash (the "Exchange Offers"), established as
of 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on August 31, 2020 (the
"Price Determination Date") in accordance with Union
Pacific's offering memorandum dated August
17, 2020 (the "Offering Memorandum") and the related
letter of transmittal.
The total exchange price to be received in each Exchange Offer
(the "Total Exchange Price") for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly
tendered, not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on August 28, 2020
(the "Early Exchange Date") and accepted for exchange is set
forth in the table below. The Total Exchange Price, which
includes the early exchange premium of $50.00 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly
tendered, not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Exchange Date
and accepted for exchange, will be paid via the issuance of the
principal amount of New Notes set forth in the table below, with
the remaining amount paid in cash. The Total Exchange Price
has been determined using the yields for the Exchange Offers in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offering
Memorandum. Holders of Existing Notes who validly tender
Existing Notes after the Early Exchange Date that are accepted for
exchange will receive the Total Exchange Price less the early
exchange premium of $50.00 in cash
per $1,000 principal amount of
Existing Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted
for exchange. The annual interest rate on the New Notes will
be 2.973%, which has been determined as the bid-side yield of the
designated reference security as of the Price Determination Date,
which was 1.493%, plus the applicable spread.
The table below shows the Total Exchange Price per $1,000 principal amount of each series of
Existing Notes accepted in the Exchange Offers.

The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59
p.m., New York City time,
on September 14, 2020, unless
extended or earlier terminated by Union Pacific (the "Expiration
Date"). In addition to the consideration described above,
all eligible holders of Existing Notes validly tendered, not
validly withdrawn and accepted for exchange prior to the Expiration
Date will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on those
Existing Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not
including, the settlement date of the applicable Exchange Offer,
which is expected to be September 16,
2020, the second business day after the Expiration Date.
The Exchange Offers are being conducted upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and
the related letter of transmittal. The Exchange Offers are
only made, and copies of the offering documents will only be made
available, to a holder of the Existing Notes who has certified its
status as (1) a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or (2) a person who is not a "U.S.
person" as defined under Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may
not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of
an offer to buy any security. The Exchange Offers are being
made solely by the Offering Memorandum and the related letter of
transmittal and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as
is permitted under applicable law.
Documents relating to the Exchange Offers will only be
distributed to holders of Existing Notes that complete and return a
letter of eligibility confirming that they are eligible investors
for the Exchange Offers. Holders of Existing Notes that

future that are not statements of historical fact. These
statements are, or will be, 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,

Forward–looking statements speak only as of, and
are based only upon information available on, the date the

update forward–looking information to reflect actual results,
changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting
