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.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
U.S. Bancorp priced a $9,500,000 offering of Senior Medium-Term Notes: Callable Step-Up Rate Notes maturing April 27, 2041. The notes pay fixed annual coupons that step up over time: 5.25% through April 27, 2031, 5.50% through April 27, 2036, and 6.00% thereafter, subject to issuer call on specified quarterly Redemption Dates. The offering price is $1,000 per note; proceeds to the issuer before expenses are $9,390,750. USBI acted as distributing affiliate and may receive selling commissions up to $11.50 per $1,000 note. Tax treatment for OID is addressed: the issuer will treat the notes as not issued with OID under the stated presumption regarding call timing.
Insights
Callable step-up notes priced at $9.5M with scheduled coupon increases and issuer call rights.
The structure offers sequential coupon increases to 6.00% late in the term but contains frequent issuer call opportunities starting April 27, 2029, which the tax section treats as informing OID analysis. Cash flows depend on whether the issuer redeems before each step-up.
Primary risks include credit exposure to U.S. Bancorp and potential immediate secondary-market discounting from issuance costs and hedging profits. Subsequent disclosures and market trading will determine liquidity and secondary pricing.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The discussion entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying prospectus supplement provides a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in the Notes, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the Notes.
We intend to treat the Notes as not issued with original issue discount (“OID”) despite the fact that the interest rate on the Notes is scheduled to step up over the term of the Notes. Under applicable Treasury regulations, an issuer is presumed to exercise a call option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the Notes would be minimized if we redeem the Notes immediately before any scheduled interest rate increase. Therefore, we will be presumed to redeem immediately before any such rate increased, and the Notes should be treated for OID purposes as fixed-rate notes that will mature prior to the step-up in interest rate for the Notes. This presumption is made solely for the purpose of determining whether the Note is issued with OID and is not an indication of our intention to redeem or not to redeem the Notes at any time. If, contrary to such presumption, we do not redeem the Notes prior to the first increase in the interest rate, then, solely for OID purposes, the Notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted issue price on such redemption date. This deemed reissuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders and the Notes should not be treated as issued with OID because under the rules described above, the Notes should be deemed to be called on the next interest step-up date. The same analysis should apply to each subsequent interest step-up date.
Under this approach, the coupon on a Note will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we redeem the Notes).
You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the Notes in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.
SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)
USBI will purchase the Notes from us at the price to public less the selling commissions set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement for distribution to other registered broker-dealers or will offer the Notes directly to investors. USBI or other registered broker-dealers will offer the Notes at the price to public set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. USBI may pay some or all of the selling commissions it receives from us to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers. These selling commissions will vary and will be up to $11.50 per $1,000 principal amount Note.
With respect to Notes sold to eligible institutional investors or fee-based advisory accounts for which an affiliated or unaffiliated broker-dealer is an investment adviser, the price to the public will be between $988.50 and $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note. Broker-dealers who purchase the Notes for these accounts may forgo some or all selling commissions related to these sales.
We expect to deliver the Notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is more than one business day following the Pricing Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any date prior to the business day before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
Conflicts of Interest
Our affiliate, USBI, is a member of FINRA and is participating in the distribution of the Notes. Because USBI has a conflict of interest pursuant to FINRA Rule 5121, the distribution arrangements for this offering must comply with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121, regarding a FINRA member firm’s participation in the distribution of securities of an affiliate. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, no FINRA member firm that has a conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121 may make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior approval of the customer.
Market-Making Resales by Affiliates
Our affiliates, including USBI, may use this pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus supplement and the prospectus, together with any other applicable prospectus, in connection with offers and sales of Notes in the secondary market. These affiliates may act as principal or agent in those transactions. Secondary market sales will be made at prices related to market prices at the time of sale. In this pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus supplement and the prospectus, an offering of Notes refers to the initial offering of the Notes made in connection with their original issuance, and does not refer to any subsequent resales of Notes in market-making transactions.
While USBI may make markets in the Notes, it is under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
The price at which you purchase the Notes includes costs that we or our affiliates expect to incur and profits that we or our affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the Notes. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the Notes. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your Notes on the Original Issue Date.
LEGAL MATTERS
In the opinion of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, as counsel to the Company, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been issued by the Company pursuant to the indenture, the trustee and/or paying agent has made, in accordance with the instructions from the Company, the appropriate entries or notations in its records relating to the master global note that represents such notes, and such notes have been delivered against payment as contemplated herein, the notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited solely to the Federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 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 certain factual matters, all as stated in the opinion of such counsel, dated March 9, 2026, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026.
