RISK FACTORS

Before you decide to invest in the notes, you should carefully consider the factors set forth below, as well as the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2023, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement. The information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We refer you to “Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement.

Risks Related to the Notes

The notes will be unsecured and, therefore, will be effectively subordinated to any of our future secured debt.

The notes will not be secured by any of our assets. As a result, the notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt we may incur in the future, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding involving us, the holders of any of our secured debt may assert rights against our secured assets in order to receive full payment of their debt before such assets may be used to pay the holders of the notes. The terms of the indenture governing the notes limit our ability to create, incur, assume or permit to exist liens on any Principal Property to secure any of our debt. However, these limitations are subject to numerous exceptions. See “Description of the Notes — Limitation on Liens.” As of February 3, 2024, we did not have any secured debt outstanding. See “Description of the Notes — Ranking.”

We have substantial indebtedness and the indenture governing the notes does not restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness.

As of February 3, 2024, we had approximately $7.1 billion of indebtedness outstanding. As of February 3, 2024, after giving effect to this offering including the expected use of proceeds therefrom, we would have had approximately $    billion of indebtedness outstanding. In addition, we may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. In particular, the indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued will not place any limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries may incur. Our incurrence of additional indebtedness may have important consequences for you as a holder of the notes, including:

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may not be able to service our debt obligations, including making payments on the notes.

Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness when due depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our consolidated operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our outstanding debt, we may be required to, among other things:

S-7

Such measures might not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt, including the notes, which could negatively impact our financial results. In addition, we may not be able to obtain any such financing, refinancing or complete a sale of assets on economically favorable terms. In the case of financing or refinancing, favorable interest rates will depend on the health of the debt capital markets.

The notes will be structurally subordinated to the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries.

Our equity interest in our subsidiaries is structurally subordinated to any debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, whether or not secured. The notes will not be guaranteed by our subsidiaries and we may not have direct access to the assets of our subsidiaries unless such assets are transferred by dividend or otherwise to us. As a result, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of our existing and future subsidiaries, including trade payables and lease obligations. As of February 3, 2024, our subsidiaries had approximately $1.1 billion of total liabilities, excluding intercompany payables, outstanding. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or otherwise transfer assets to us is subject to various restrictions under applicable law. Our right to receive assets of any of our subsidiaries upon their bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the notes to realize any value in respect of those assets, will be structurally subordinated to the claims of any such subsidiary’s creditors. In addition, even if we are a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be effectively subordinated to any security interest in the assets of our subsidiaries and subordinated in right of payment to any debt of our subsidiaries that is senior to any debt held by us.

Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes.

Any credit ratings assigned to the notes will be limited in scope and will not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. We cannot assure you that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency if, in such rating agency’s judgment, circumstances so warrant. Agency credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency’s rating. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under review for a downgrade, could affect the market value of the notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs.

We may not be able to repurchase all of the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, which would result in a default under the notes.

We may be required to offer to repurchase the notes and the Existing Notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event as provided in the indentures governing the notes and the Existing Notes, respectively. However, we may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes and the Existing Notes at such time. In addition, our ability to repurchase the notes may be limited by law or the terms of other agreements relating to our indebtedness outstanding at the time. The failure to make such repurchases would result in a default under each series of notes and the Existing Notes. See “Description of the Notes — Change of Control Offer.”

S-8

The indenture governing the notes will have only limited covenants and these covenants may not protect your investment.

The indenture governing the notes will not:

Furthermore, the indenture governing the notes will contain only limited protections in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event as described in this prospectus supplement. The indenture governing the notes also will permit us and our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, that would effectively rank senior to the notes, and to engage in Sale and Lease Back Transactions (as defined in “Description of the Notes”), subject to certain limitations.

The provisions of the notes will not necessarily protect you in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

The terms of the notes will not necessarily afford you protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction that may adversely affect you, including a reorganization, recapitalization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction involving us. As a result, we could enter into any such transaction even though the transaction could increase the total amount of our outstanding indebtedness, adversely affect our capital structure or credit rating or otherwise adversely affect the holders of the notes. These transactions may not involve a change in voting power or beneficial ownership or result in a downgrade in the ratings of the notes, or, even if they do, may not necessarily constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event that affords you the protections described in this prospectus supplement. If any such transaction should occur, the value of your notes may decline.

Active trading markets for the notes may not develop.

Each series of notes constitutes a new issue of securities, for which there is no existing market. We do not intend to apply for listing of either series of notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of either series of notes in any automated dealer quotation system. Certain of the underwriters have advised us that they may make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, but they will not be obligated to do so and may in their sole discretion discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. We cannot provide you with any assurance regarding whether a trading market for either series of notes will develop, the ability of holders of notes of such series to sell their notes or the price at which holders may be able to sell their notes. In addition, the liquidity of the trading markets in the notes and the market prices quoted for both series of notes may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or changes in the financial performance or prospects of companies in our industry. If no active trading markets develop, you may be unable to resell the notes at a particular time, at any price or at their fair market value.

Changes in our credit ratings, our financial condition, our financial performance or our future prospects or the debt markets could adversely affect the market prices of the notes.

The prices for each series of notes will depend on many factors, including:

S-9

The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated significantly in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. Such fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the prices of the notes.

In addition, credit rating agencies continually review their ratings for the companies that they follow, including us. A negative change in our rating could have an adverse effect on the prices of the notes.

S-10

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering will be approximately $    , after deducting estimated expenses and the underwriting discounts. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase program, repayment or refinancing of existing indebtedness, dividend payments and acquisitions.

S-11

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of February 3, 2024 on (1) an actual basis and (2) an as adjusted basis, giving effect to the issuance and sale of the notes offered hereby, but not the application of the net proceeds therefrom, after deducting estimated expenses and the underwriting discounts.

You should read this in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2023 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 2024, which are incorporated herein by reference.

S-12

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The following discussion of the terms of the notes supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities contained in the accompanying prospectus and identifies any general terms and provisions described in the accompanying prospectus that will not apply to the notes. Certain terms used but not defined in this “Description of the Notes” have the meanings specified in the accompanying prospectus. In this prospectus supplement, we refer to the notes offered hereby as the “notes.” Although for convenience the 20  Notes and the 20   Notes are referred to as “notes,” each will be issued as a separate series and will not together have any class voting rights. Accordingly, for purposes of this “Description of the Notes,” references to “notes” shall be deemed to refer to each series of notes separately, and not to the 20   Notes and the 20   Notes on any combined basis. To the extent this summary differs from the summary in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the description of the notes in this prospectus supplement.

When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” in this section, we mean Analog Devices, Inc., the issuer of the notes, excluding, unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise expressly stated, our Subsidiaries.

General

The 20  Notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $     and the 20  Notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $    . We will issue the notes under the indenture dated as of June 3, 2013 between The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and us (the “base indenture”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture to be entered into between us and the trustee (together with the base indenture, the “indenture”).

We may, without the consent of the holders of the applicable series of notes, increase the principal amount of notes of such series in the future, on the same terms and conditions as the notes of such series being offered hereby (except for the issue date, issue price and, in some cases, the first interest payment date and the initial interest accrual date). If any such additional notes of the applicable series are not fungible for United States federal income tax purposes with the notes of the applicable series previously issued, such additional notes will not have the same CUSIP number (or other securities identification number) as the notes of the applicable series previously issued.

You should read the accompanying prospectus for a general discussion of the terms and provisions of the indenture.

The 20  Notes will mature on     , 20  and the 20  Notes will mature on     , 20   . The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any automated quotation system.

The notes will be issued only in registered form without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The notes will be available in book-entry form only. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or any exchange of notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Ranking

Each series of notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank without preference or priority between themselves and equally with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Each series of notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness. In addition, each series of notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our Subsidiaries, which are distinct legal entities having no obligation to pay any amounts in respect of the notes or to make funds available for such purpose.

S-13

“Subsidiary” means any corporation, association or other business entity of which more than 50% of the total voting power of all shares, interests, participations, rights or other equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees thereof is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by us or one or more of our other Subsidiaries or a combination thereof.

Interest

The 20  Notes will bear interest at a rate of  % per annum from     , 2024 or from the most recent interest payment date on which we paid or provided for interest on the 20  Notes. The 20  Notes will bear interest at a rate of  % per annum from     , 2024 or from the most recent interest payment date on which we paid or provided for interest on the 20  Notes. The interest payment dates for each series of notes will be each      and     , beginning on     , 2024, and interest will be payable to the holders of record on the     and    (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the related interest payment date.

Interest on each series of the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-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 the notes for that period.

Optional Redemption

At any time prior to the applicable Par Call Date, we will have the right, at our option, to redeem each series of notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the notes of such series matured on the applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus    basis points (in the case of the 20   Notes) or     basis points (in the case of the 20   Notes), in each case less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series being redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

On or after the applicable Par Call Date, we will have the right, at our option, to redeem each series of notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

“Par Call Date” means , 20 in the case of the 20  Notes and , 20  in the case of the 20  Notes.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by us in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by us after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal”

S-14

(or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, we will select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the applicable Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the applicable Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the applicable Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the applicable Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, we will calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, we will select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we will select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The trustee shall not be obligated to calculate or verify any redemption price.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the note will be issued in the name of the holder of the note upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Mandatory Redemption

We are not required to make any mandatory redemption with respect to the notes.

S-15

Change of Control Offer

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to a series of notes, unless we have exercised our option to redeem such series of notes in full as described above under “— Optional Redemption” or have defeased such series of notes or satisfied and discharged such series of notes, we shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of such series of notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the unrepurchased portion of a note must be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000) of that holder’s notes of such series pursuant to the offer described below. In a Change of Control Offer, we will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to a series of notes or, at our option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed, or if the notes to be repurchased are represented by one or more Global Notes, transmitted in accordance with DTC’s standard procedures therefor, to holders of such series of notes describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or transmitted (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed or transmitted prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, we will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all notes of the applicable series or portions of such notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of such notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes of the applicable series properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of such notes being repurchased.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us and the third party purchases all notes of the applicable series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes of the applicable series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the notes, we will comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the notes by virtue of any such conflict.

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the notes, the following terms are applicable:

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means, with respect to a series of notes, the applicable series of notes is downgraded below Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by us of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following the consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended if the rating of such series of notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any Rating Agency on such 60th day, such extension to last with respect to each Rating Agency until the date on which such Rating Agency considering such possible downgrade either

S-16

(x) rates such series of notes below Investment Grade or (y) publicly announces that it is no longer considering such series of notes for possible downgrade, provided that no such extension will occur if on such 60th day such series of notes is rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies and are not subject to review for possible downgrade by any Rating Agency).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than to us or one of our direct or indirect Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which our Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) we consolidate with, or merge with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, us, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of our outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of our Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the outstanding Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (4) the adoption of a plan providing for our liquidation or dissolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) we become a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company (which shall include a parent company) and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of our Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of our properties or assets and those of our Subsidiaries taken as a whole. There is no precise established definition of the phrase “substantially all” under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase the notes as a result of a sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our properties or assets and those of our Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person may be uncertain. In such case, the holders of the notes may not be able to resolve this uncertainty without resorting to legal action.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means, with respect to a series of notes, the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event with respect to such series of notes.

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Inc., and its successors.

“Investment Grade” means, with respect to Fitch, a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent under any successor rating categories of Fitch), with respect to Moody’s, a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s) and, with respect to S&P, a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P).

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

“Rating Agencies” means each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if any of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors, we may appoint a replacement for such Rating Agency that is a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act.

S-17

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc., and its successors.

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the shares, interests, participations, rights or other equivalents (however designated) of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

Limitation on Liens

We will not, nor will we permit any Subsidiary to, issue, incur, create, assume or guarantee (collectively, “incur”) any debt for borrowed money, including all obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments (collectively, a “debt”), secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, security interest, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance (collectively, a “lien”) upon any Principal Property or upon any shares of stock of any Principal Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property or shares are now existing or owned or hereafter created or acquired) without in any such case effectively providing, substantially concurrently with or prior to the creation or assumption of such lien, that the notes (together with, if we shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guarantee by us or such Subsidiary ranking equally with the notes) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at our option, prior to) such secured debt. The foregoing restriction, however, will not apply to each of the following:

(a) liens on property, shares of stock or other assets of any person existing at the time such person becomes a Subsidiary or existing at the time of acquisition thereof by us or a Subsidiary, provided that such liens are not incurred in anticipation of such person’s becoming a Subsidiary or such acquisition and do not extend to (i) any Principal Property or (ii) any shares of stock of any Principal Subsidiary that, in each case, were not previously encumbered by such liens;

(b) liens on property of a person existing at the time such person is merged into or consolidated with us or a Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of such person (or a division thereof) as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to us or a Subsidiary, provided that such liens are not incurred in anticipation of such merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition and do not extend to (i) any Principal Property or (ii) any shares of stock of any Principal Subsidiary that, in each case, were not previously encumbered by such liens;

(c) liens to secure all or part of the cost of acquisition, construction, development or improvement of any property or to secure debt incurred to provide funds for any such purpose (including purchase money security interests or purchase money mortgages), provided that the commitment of the creditor to extend the credit secured by any such lien is obtained not later than 24 months after the later of (i) the completion of acquisition, construction, development or improvement of such property and (ii) the placing in operation of such property or of such property as so constructed, developed or improved;

(d) liens in favor of, or which secure debt owing to, us or any of our Subsidiaries;

(e) liens existing at the date of the issuance of the notes;

(f) liens in favor of the United States of America or any state, territory or possession thereof (or the District of Columbia), or any department, agency, instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any state, territory or possession thereof (or the District of Columbia), to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such liens;

(g) liens incurred or assumed in connection with the issuance of revenue bonds the interest on which is exempt from federal taxation pursuant to Section 103(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and

S-18

(h) extensions, renewals or replacements of any liens referred to in the foregoing clauses, provided that (i) the principal amount of debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement and (ii) such extension, renewal or replacement liens will be limited to all or part of the same property and improvement thereon which secured the debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement.

Notwithstanding the restrictions in the preceding paragraphs, we or any Subsidiary of ours may incur debt secured by a lien which would otherwise be prohibited by such restrictions, without equally and ratably securing the notes, provided that, after giving effect thereto, the then aggregate outstanding amount of all such debt so secured by such liens (not including liens permitted under clauses (a) through (h) above) plus the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease Back Transactions of Principal Properties entered into after the date of issuance of the notes and permitted solely pursuant to clause (c) of the covenant described below under the caption “— Limitation on Sale and Lease Back Transactions” and still in existence does not exceed the greater of 5% of our Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of such incurrence and $750 million.

Limitation on Sale and Lease Back Transactions

We will not, nor will we permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Lease Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property, other than any such Sale and Lease Back Transaction involving a lease for a term of not more than three years or any such Sale and Lease Back Transaction between us and one of our Subsidiaries, or between Subsidiaries, unless:

(a) we or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur debt secured by a lien on the Principal Property involved in such Sale and Lease Back Transaction at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease Back Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the notes, pursuant to clauses (a) through (h) of the covenant described above under the caption “—Limitation on Liens”;

(b) we apply the Net Available Proceeds of such Sale and Lease Back Transaction within 180 days of such Sale and Lease Back Transaction to either (or a combination of) (i) the prepayment or retirement of debt of ours or a Subsidiary of ours (other than debt that is, in the case of our debt, subordinated to the notes or debt owed to us or a Subsidiary) that by its terms matures more than 12 months after its creation or (ii) the purchase, construction, development, expansion or improvement of comparable properties or facilities; or

(c) the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Lease Back Transaction plus the Attributable Debt in respect of all other Sale and Lease Back Transactions of Principal Properties entered into after the date of issuance of the notes permitted solely pursuant to this clause (c) and still in existence, plus the aggregate amount of all debt secured by liens permitted solely pursuant to the last paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “—Limitation on Liens” and still outstanding, does not exceed the greater of 5% of our Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of such Sale and Lease Back Transaction and $750 million.

“Attributable Debt” with regard to a Sale and Lease Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property means, at the time of determination, the lesser of:

“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means, as of any date on which we effect a transaction requiring such Consolidated Net Tangible Assets to be measured hereunder, the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable

S-19

reserves) after deducting therefrom (i) all current liabilities, except for any notes and loans payable, current maturities of long-term debt, the current portion of deferred revenue and obligations under capital leases and (ii) all goodwill, trade names, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and any other like intangibles, to the extent included in said aggregate amount of assets, all as set forth on our most recent consolidated balance sheet and computed in accordance with GAAP.

“Consolidated Tangible Assets” means, as of any date on which we effect a transaction requiring such Consolidated Tangible Assets to be measured hereunder, the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves) set forth on our most recent consolidated balance sheet and computed in accordance with GAAP.

“GAAP” means accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America set forth in the opinions and pronouncements of the Accounting Principles Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and statements and pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or in such other statements by such other entity as have been approved by a significant segment of the accounting profession, which are in effect as of the date of the determination.

“Net Available Proceeds” from any Sale and Lease Back Transaction by us or any Subsidiary means cash or readily marketable cash equivalents received (including by way of sale or discounting of a note, installment receivable or other receivable, but excluding any other consideration received in the form of assumption by the acquiree of debt or obligations relating to the properties or assets that are the subject of such Sale and Lease Back Transaction or received in any other noncash form) therefrom by us or our Subsidiary, net of (i) all legal, title and recording tax expenses, commissions and other fees and expenses incurred and all Federal, state, provincial, foreign and local taxes required to be accrued as a liability as a consequence of such Sale and Lease Back Transaction; (ii) all payments made by us or our Subsidiary on any debt which is secured in whole or in part by any such properties and assets in accordance with the terms of any lien upon or with respect to any such properties and assets or which must, by the terms of such lien, or in order to obtain a necessary consent to such Sale and Lease Back Transaction or by applicable law, be repaid out of the proceeds from such Sale and Lease Back Transaction; and (iii) all distributions and other payments made to our minority interest holders in Subsidiaries or joint ventures as a result of such Sale and Lease Back Transaction.

“Principal Property” means any single parcel of real property or any permanent improvement thereon (i) owned by us or any of our Subsidiaries located in the United States, including our principal corporate office, any manufacturing facility or plant or any portion thereof and (ii) having a book value, as of the date of determination, in excess of 3% of our most recently calculated Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Principal Property does not include any property that our board of directors has determined not to be of material importance to the business conducted by our Subsidiaries and us, taken as a whole.

As of February 3, 2024, we had two Principal Properties.

“Principal Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary which owns any Principal Property.

“Sale and Lease Back Transaction” means an arrangement with any lender or investor or to which such lender or investor is a party providing for the leasing by us or any of our Subsidiaries of any Principal Property that, more than 12 months after the later of (i) the completion of the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of such Principal Property or (ii) the placing in operation of such Principal Property or of such Principal Property as so constructed, developed or improved, has been or is being sold, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of by us or our Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such lender on the security of such Principal Property.

S-20

Limitation on Mergers and Other Transactions

We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless:

We will deliver to the trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an officers’ certificate to the foregoing effect and an opinion of counsel stating that the proposed transaction complies with the indenture.

Notwithstanding the above, any Subsidiary of ours may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us. Neither an officers’ certificate nor an opinion of counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection therewith.

Events of Default

Any of the following constitutes an Event of Default with respect to each series of notes:

S-21

Defeasance and Discharge

Each series of notes is also subject to defeasance and discharge as described under the caption “Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances” and “Satisfaction and Discharge Prior to Maturity” in the accompanying prospectus.

Delivery and Form

Each series of notes will be represented by one or more permanent global certificates (each a “Global Note” and collectively, the “Global Notes”) deposited with, or on behalf of, the trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee), for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC (including Euroclear Bank AS/NV or Clearstream Banking, S.A.). Unless and until certificated notes are issued under the limited circumstances described in the accompanying prospectus, no beneficial owner of a note shall be entitled to receive a definitive certificate representing notes. So long as DTC or any successor depositary (collectively, the “Depositary”) or its nominee is the registered owner of the Global Notes, the Depositary, or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered to be the sole owner or holder of the notes for all purposes of the indenture. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may elect to hold interests in the Global Notes through DTC either directly if they are participants in DTC or indirectly through organizations that are participants in DTC (including Euroclear Bank AS/NV or Clearstream Banking, S.A.).

Clearance and Settlement Procedures

Initial settlement for the notes will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds.

S-22

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. This summary is based upon provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement, any of which may subsequently be changed, possibly retroactively, or interpreted differently by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This summary deals only with notes held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally for investment purposes) by a beneficial owner who purchases notes for cash on original issuance at the initial offering price at which a substantial amount of the notes are sold for cash to persons other than bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers, which we refer to as the “issue price.” This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax related to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes and does not address all tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in light of their personal circumstances or particular situations, such as:

If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A beneficial owner that is a partnership and partners in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors.

THIS SUMMARY OF MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE FOR ANY PARTICULAR INVESTOR. THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS OR THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY FOREIGN, STATE OR LOCAL JURISDICTION. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF NOTES, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND OTHER TAX

S-23

CONSEQUENCES TO YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR OWN SPECIFIC SITUATION, AS WELL AS CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

In this discussion, we use the term “U.S. holder” to refer to a beneficial owner of notes that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

We use the term “non-U.S. holder” to describe a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of notes that is not a U.S. holder. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors to determine the U.S. federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them.

Additional Payments

In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay certain additional amounts on the notes. For example, if we are required to repurchase notes in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event as described in “Description of the Notes — Change of Control Offer,” we must pay a 1% premium. The possibility of such payments may implicate special rules under U.S. Treasury Regulations governing “contingent payment debt instruments.” According to those regulations, the possibility that additional payments will be made will not cause the notes to be contingent payment debt instruments if, as of the date the notes are issued, there is only a remote chance that such payments will be made or certain other exceptions apply. We have determined and intend to take the position (and this discussion assumes) that the possibility of such events occurring will not subject the notes to the contingent payment debt instrument rules.

Our determination that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is binding on holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless they disclose their contrary positions to the IRS in the manner required by applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Our determination that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is not, however, binding on the IRS. If the IRS were to successfully challenge our determination and the notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, U.S. holders would be required, among other things, to (i) accrue interest income based on a projected payment schedule and comparable yield, which may be a higher rate than the stated interest rate on the notes, regardless of their method of tax accounting and (ii) possibly treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, some or all of any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or redemption of a note. In the event that any of the above contingencies were to occur, it would affect the amount and timing of the income recognized by a U.S. holder.

Consequences to U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest

It is anticipated, and this discussion assumes, that the notes will be issued with no more than a de minimis amount of OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case interest on a note generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary income at the time it is received or accrued in accordance with the U.S. holder’s usual method of accounting for tax purposes.

S-24

If, however, the issue price of the applicable series of notes is less than their stated principal amount and the difference is more than a de minimis amount (as set forth in the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations), a U.S. holder of such series of notes generally will be required to include the difference in income as OID as it accrues on a constant yield-to-maturity basis (as set forth in the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations) whether or not it receives cash payments and regardless of its method of tax accounting.

Sale, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes

A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. The amount realized will equal the amount of the cash and the fair market value of any property received in exchange for the note (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which amounts will be treated as ordinary interest income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent not previously included in income). A U.S. holder’s tax basis in a note will generally be equal to the amount that such U.S. holder paid for the note. In general, any gain or loss recognized on a taxable disposition of the note will be capital gain or loss. If, at the time of the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of the note, a U.S. holder is treated as holding the note for more than one year, such capital gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss. Otherwise, such capital gain or loss will be a short-term capital gain or loss. In the case of certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals), long-term capital gain generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gain, which is taxed at ordinary income rates. A U.S. holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to significant limitations under the Code.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements generally will apply to payments of interest on the notes and to the proceeds of a sale of a note paid to a U.S. holder unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding at the applicable rate will apply to those payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide its correct taxpayer identification number or certification of its exempt status (generally by providing an IRS Form W-9 or an approved substitute), or if the U.S. holder is notified by the IRS that the U.S. holder has failed to report in full payments of interest and dividend income. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest

In general, payments of interest on the notes to a non-U.S. holder will be considered “portfolio interest” and, subject to the discussions below of income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, backup withholding, and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that:

S-25

If a non-U.S. holder cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest generally will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, unless the non-U.S. holder provides us with a properly executed

(i) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty or (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that interest paid on the notes is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States and includable in the non-U.S. holder’s gross income.

If a non-U.S. holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base, then, although the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from the 30% withholding tax (provided the certification requirements discussed above are satisfied), the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that interest on a net income basis at regular U.S. federal income tax rates and generally in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. holder. In addition, if a non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lesser rate under an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

Sale, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, gain realized by a non-U.S. holder on the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

If a non-U.S. holder is described in the first bullet point above, it generally will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of the notes at regular U.S. federal income tax rates and generally in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. holder. In addition, if a non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lesser rate under an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments. If a non-U.S. holder is an individual described in the second bullet point above, such holder will be subject to a flat 30% tax (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise) on the gain derived from the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS and to non-U.S. holders the amount of interest paid to non-U.S. holders on the notes and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

S-26

In general, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of interest that we make on the notes, provided the certification described above in the last bullet point under “Consequences to non-U.S. holders — Payments of interest” has been received and we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a U.S. person, as defined under the Code, who is not an exempt recipient. However, a non-U.S. holder will be subject to information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding at the applicable rate with respect to payments of the proceeds of the sale of a note within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the certification described above has been received, and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that a holder is a U.S. person, as defined under the Code, who is not an exempt recipient, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. The backup withholding and information reporting rules are complex, and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding application of these rules to their particular circumstances.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Provisions of the Code commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, generally impose a 30% withholding tax on payments of interest on the notes if paid to a foreign entity (including, in some cases, when such foreign entity is acting as an intermediary) unless (i) if the foreign entity is a “foreign financial institution,” the foreign entity undertakes certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligations, (ii) if the foreign entity is a “non-financial foreign entity,” the foreign entity identifies certain of its U.S. investors or provides certification that it does not have any such investors, or (iii) the foreign entity is otherwise exempt from FATCA.

While withholding under FATCA may also apply to gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the notes (including settlement of the notes at maturity), under proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, withholding on payments of gross proceeds is not required. Although such regulations are not final, applicable withholding agents may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.

An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify those requirements. If withholding under FATCA is required on any payment related to the notes, investors not otherwise subject to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) on such payment may be required to seek a refund or credit from the IRS to obtain the benefit of such exemption (or reduction). Prospective investors are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in the notes.

UNDERWRITING

We and BofA Securities, Inc., as representative for the underwriters for this offering of notes, have entered into an underwriting agreement, dated    , 2024, with respect to the notes. Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters named below, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate principal amounts of the notes listed next to its name in the following table.

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the notes if they purchase any of the notes. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering of the notes may be terminated.

Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the public offering price of up to  % of the principal amount of the 20   Notes and up to    % of the principal amount of the 20   Notes. Any such securities dealers may resell the notes purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the public offering price of up to  % of the principal amount of the 20   Notes and up to   % of the principal amount of the 20   Notes. After the initial public offering of the notes, the underwriters may change the public offering price and concession and discount to brokers or dealers. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and is subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

We estimate that our out-of-pocket expenses for this offering, excluding the underwriting discount, will be approximately $    .

The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. Certain of the underwriters have advised us that they may make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, but they will not be obligated to do so and may in their sole discretion discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. We cannot assure you that a liquid trading market will develop for either series of notes, that you will be able to sell your notes at a particular time or that the prices you receive when you sell your notes will be favorable.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against liabilities under the Securities Act or contribute to payments which the underwriters may be required to make in that respect.

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on or about     , 2024, which will be the second business day following the date of this prospectus supplement.

Other Relationships

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities.

S-28

Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services in the ordinary course of business for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expense reimbursement. Each of these parties has received or will receive customary fees in connection therewith.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates has a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, certain other of those underwriters are likely to hedge or otherwise reduce, and certain other of those underwriters may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby.

The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.

These stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the notes or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the notes may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the underwriters in their sole discretion at any time and without notice.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This prospectus describes certain general terms and provisions of our debt securities. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. We will also indicate in the supplement whether the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.

Unless otherwise specified in a supplement to this prospectus, the debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture dated June 3, 2013 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, which we refer to as the “indenture.” We have summarized select portions of the indenture below. The summary is not complete. The indenture has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement and you should read the indenture for provisions that may be important to you. Capitalized terms used in the summary and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the indenture.

When we refer to “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this section, we mean Analog Devices, Inc. excluding, unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise expressly stated, its subsidiaries.

General

The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors and set forth or determined in the manner provided in a resolution of our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, in an officers’ certificate or by a supplemental indenture. The particular terms of each series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series (including any pricing supplement or term sheet).

We can issue an unlimited amount of debt securities under the indenture that may be in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium or at a discount. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement (including any pricing supplement or term sheet) relating to any series of debt securities being offered, the aggregate principal amount and the following terms of the debt securities, if applicable:

(1) the title of the debt securities;

(2) the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at which we will sell the debt securities;

(3) any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

(4) the date or dates on which we will pay the principal on the debt securities;

(5) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum or the method used to determine the rate or rates (including any commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index) at which the debt securities will bear interest, the date or dates from which interest will accrue, the date or dates on which interest will commence and be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date;

(6) the place or places where principal of, premium and any interest on the debt securities will be payable;

(7) the terms and conditions upon which we may redeem the debt securities;

(8) any obligation we have to redeem or purchase the debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of debt securities;

8

(9) the dates on which and the price or prices at which we will repurchase debt securities at the option of the holders of debt securities and other detailed terms and provisions of these repurchase obligations;

(10) the denominations in which the debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;

(11) whether the debt securities will be issued in the form of certificated debt securities or global debt securities;

(12) the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity date, if other than the principal amount;

(13) the currency of denomination of the debt securities;

(14) the designation of the currency, currencies or currency units in which payment of principal of, premium and any interest on the debt securities will be made;

(15) if payments of principal of, premium or any interest on the debt securities will be made in one or more currencies or currency units other than that or those in which the debt securities are denominated, the manner in which the exchange rate with respect to these payments will be determined;

(16) the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of, premium or any interest on the debt securities will be determined, if these amounts may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency or currencies other than that in which the debt securities are denominated or designated to be payable or by reference to a commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index;

(17) any provisions relating to any security provided for the debt securities;

(18) any addition to or change in the Events of Default described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the debt securities and any change in the acceleration provisions described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the debt securities;

(19) any addition to or change in the covenants described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the debt securities;

(20) any listing on a securities exchange;

(21) the initial public offering price, if any is established for such debt securities;

(23) any depositaries, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to the debt securities if other than those appointed in the indenture.

In addition, the indenture does not limit our ability to issue convertible or subordinated debt securities. We may also issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the material United States federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Transfer and Exchange

See “Forms of Securities” in this prospectus for a description of transfer and exchange.

9

No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) that could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

Covenants

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless:

(1) we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than Analog Devices, Inc.) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes by a supplemental indenture our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture;

(2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing under the indenture; and

(3) certain other conditions are met.

Notwithstanding the above, any subsidiary of ours may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us.

Events of Default

“Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following unless otherwise provided in the resolutions, officers’ certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such series:

(1) default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of that default for a period of 30 days;

(2) default in the payment of principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series when due and payable;

(3) default in the performance or breach of any other covenant by us in the indenture (other than a covenant that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than such series), which default continues uncured for a period of 90 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or we and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;

(4) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving us; and

(5) any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus.

10

No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest with respect to debt securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture and the trustee’s fees and expenses have been paid in full. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

The indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

(1) that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and

(2) the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and after receipt of such request the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, any premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.

The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt

11

securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

Modification and Waiver

We and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of one or more series without the consent of the holders of the outstanding debt securities under the indenture:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for a supplemental indenture as contemplated by Article V of the indenture;

(3) to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

(4) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities under the indenture;

(5) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities under the indenture as permitted thereunder;

(6) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee with respect to any of the debt securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one trustee; or

(7) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

In addition, we and the trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture as to all other matters with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, provided however that we may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:

(1) reduce the principal amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

(3) reduce the principal of or premium on, or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;

(4) reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

(5) waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

12

(6) make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; or

(7) make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments.

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, any premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (except for certain obligations, including to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of such series, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of such series, and to maintain paying agencies and certain provisions relating to the treatment of funds held by paying agents). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge each installment of principal and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

(1) we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

(2) any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”).

The conditions include:

(1) depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, that,

13

through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and

(2) delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.

Covenant Defeasance and Events of Default. In the event we exercise our option to effect covenant defeasance with respect to any series of debt securities and the debt securities of that series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the amount of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee should be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the Event of Default. However, we shall remain liable for those payments.

“Foreign Government Obligations” means, with respect to debt securities of any series that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars:

(1) direct obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency for the payment of which obligations its full faith and credit is pledged which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof; or

(2) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by or acting as an agency or instrumentality of that government the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by that government which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.

“U.S. Government Obligations” means securities that are: (1) direct obligations of the United States for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged, or (2) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States; that, in either case under clauses (1) or (2) are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

Satisfaction and Discharge Prior to Maturity

The Company has the right at any time to satisfy and discharge its obligations, other than certain specified obligations, under all debt securities issued pursuant to the indenture by depositing in trust with the trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations. The Company’s exercise of this right is subject to certain conditions including that either (1) all securities under the indenture (subject to certain exceptions) have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation or (2) all securities under the indenture not previously delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year or have been paid and discharged under the Company’s right of legal defeasance described above.

14

If such deposit is sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants (unless the funds consist solely of money), to make all payments of (1) interest on the debt securities prior to their redemption or maturity and (2) principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such debt securities when due upon redemption or at maturity, all the obligations of the Company under the indenture will be discharged and terminated except as otherwise provided in the indenture.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

15

FORMS OF SECURITIES

Each debt security will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise, certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the securities represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Global Securities

We may issue the debt securities of a particular series in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.

If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in global securities.

So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depositary for the global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants

16

would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security. None of the Company, the trustee, or any other agent of the Company or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a global security, upon receipt of any payment to holders of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property of that global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

If the depositary for any of the securities represented by a global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the global security that had been held by the depositary. In addition, we may, at any time and in our sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the depositary, determine not to have securities represented by global securities and, in that event, will issue securities in definitive form for the global securities of that series. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the trustee or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based on directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global security that had been held by the depositary.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell debt securities:

(1) through underwriters;

(2) through dealers;

(3) through agents;

(4) directly to purchasers; or

(5) through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our debt securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may directly solicit offers to purchase debt securities, or agents may be designated to solicit such offers. We will, in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering, name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act and describe any commissions that we must pay. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis.

The distribution of the debt securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:

(1) at a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

(2) at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

(3) at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

(4) at negotiated prices.

Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the debt securities and any applicable restrictions.

The prospectus supplement with respect to the debt securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the debt securities, including the following:

(1) the name of the agent or any underwriters;

(2) the public offering or purchase price and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the debt securities;

(3) any discounts and commissions to be allowed or re-allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters;

(4) all other items constituting underwriting compensation;

(5) any discounts and commissions to be allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers; and

(6) any exchanges on which the debt securities will be listed.

18

If any underwriters or agents are utilized in the sale of the debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering the names of the underwriters or agents and certain of the terms of the related agreement with them.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such debt securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale.

Remarketing firms, agents, underwriters, dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements which they may enter into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase debt securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of debt securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:

(1) the purchase by an institution of the debt securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and

(2) if the debt securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such debt securities not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters and other persons acting as our agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts.

Certain agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, and/or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

In order to facilitate the offering of the debt securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the debt securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such debt securities. Specifically, any underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the debt securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the debt securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the debt securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the debt securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed debt securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the debt securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business

19

days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The debt securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The debt securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the debt securities.
