Floating Rate Global Notes financial
"aggregate principal amount of its Floating Rate Global Notes due 2028"
Underwriting Agreement financial
"pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated August 7, 2026"
An underwriting agreement is a contract where a company selling new stocks or bonds hires financial firms to buy those securities and resell them to investors. It matters because the agreement sets the offering price, number of securities, fees and which party bears the risk if sales fall short—think of it as a promise that the sale will happen and a roadmap investors can use to understand how the new securities reach the market.
Indenture financial
"issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2013"
An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.
Registration Statement on Form S-3 regulatory
"pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-285413)"
A registration statement on Form S‑3 is a short, standardized filing a qualified public company uses to register new securities with regulators so they can be sold to investors; think of it as a pre-approved, reusable permission slip that speeds up future offerings. It matters to investors because it lets the company raise money more quickly and cheaply — which can fund growth or pay debt — but may also lead to share dilution or change in ownership, so it affects value and liquidity.
