Interest
The notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.950% per annum from April 8, 2020 or from the most recent interest payment date on which we paid or provided for interest on the notes.
The interest payment dates for the notes will be each April 1 and October 1, beginning on October 1, 2020, and interest will be payable to the holders of record on the March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the related interest payment date.
Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a360-day year comprised of twelve30-day months. If any interest payment date, redemption date or the maturity date of the notes is not a business day, then payment of interest and/or principal on the notes will be made on the next succeeding business day, and no additional interest will accrue on the amount so payable in respect of such notes for that period.
