Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Insights
Routine primary bond sale: $300M at 4.300%, par call one month before maturity.
Ryder issued Medium‑Term Notes totaling $300,000,000 with a fixed coupon of 4.300%, priced at 99.766%, resulting in net proceeds of $297,798,000. Interest is paid semi‑annually beginning June 1, 2026, and maturity is December 1, 2030.
Redemption terms include a make‑whole call before November 1, 2030 at Treasury Rate + 15 bps (or 100% of principal, whichever is greater), and a par call on/after that date. This is standard for investment‑grade issuance and primarily affects funding profile rather than core operations.
Settlement is T+7 on November 5, 2025. Subsequent trading typically settles on T+1, so early traders would align settlement cycles as needed under customary market practice.

| Other Terms | ||
| Prior to November 1, 2030 (one month prior to their maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), we may redeem the Notes at our option, 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: | ||
| (i) (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 matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date, and | ||
| (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, | ||
| plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. | ||
| On or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the 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 being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. | ||
| “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” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, we shall 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 Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the 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 Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the 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 Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the 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. | ||
FS-2
| If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, we shall 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 Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall 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. | ||
| 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 no more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. | ||
| 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 of the Notes called for redemption. | ||
| Repayment at Option of Holder: | ☒ If we experience a Change of Control Triggering Event, we will be required to offer to purchase the Notes from holders as described in the accompanying prospectus supplement under “Offer to Redeem Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.” | |

In the opinion of David M. Beilin, Associate General Counsel of the Company, the Notes have been duly authorized by the Company. The foregoing opinion is based in part upon Federal and Florida laws as they are currently compiled and reported on by customary reporting services. It is possible that provisions affecting the foregoing opinion might have been enacted but not reflected in such reporting services. Mr. Beilin is not currently aware of the passage of any such provisions and expresses no opinion as to laws other than the laws of the State of Florida and the Federal laws of the United States of America. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the genuineness of signatures and Mr. Beilin’s reliance on certificates as to certain factual matters, all as stated in his opinion filed as Exhibit 5.2 filed with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024.
In the opinion of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, as counsel to the Company, assuming the Notes have been duly authorized under Florida law, when the Notes have been duly executed, issued and delivered under Florida law and have been executed and authenticated in accordance with the indenture, dated as of October 3, 2003 (the “indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and issued and sold as contemplated by this Pricing Supplement, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and counsel is expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the Trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and the genuineness of signatures and such counsel’s reliance on the Company and other sources as to certain factual matters, all as stated in counsel’s opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024.
Terms of Notes
Master Global Book-Entry Notes
The Notes will be represented by a global security. Generally, all securities represented by the same global security will have the same terms. Issuers may, however, issue a global security that represents multiple securities of the same kind, such as debt securities, that have different terms and are issued at different times. We call this global security a master global security. We have elected to issue a master global security that represents each series of our Medium-Term Notes and will represent the Notes offered hereby. The terms of the Notes described in this Pricing Supplement will be incorporated by reference into the master global security.
Trustee
An affiliate of the Trustee is a lender under the Company’s global revolving credit facility, and the Company may maintain other banking relationships in the ordinary course of business with the Trustee or its affiliates. Additionally, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the agents, is an affiliate of the Trustee.

The Underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the Notes if any are taken.
The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose initially to offer part of the Notes directly to the public at the Public Offering Price set forth in this Pricing Supplement.
The Underwriters and certain of their affiliates may engage in transactions with and perform investment banking and commercial lending services for the Company and certain of its affiliates from time to time in the ordinary course of business, for which they receive customary fees and expenses.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments, including acting as counterparties to certain derivative and hedging arrangements, 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. Certain of the agents or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such agents 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 hereunder. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes offered hereunder. The agents 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. Additionally, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the agents, is an affiliate of the Trustee.
Delivery is expected to be made against payment for the Notes on November 5, 2025, which will be the seventh business day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+7”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes prior to the date that is one business day before the delivery of the Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+7, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
