(a)     Per $1,000, €1,000 or £1,000 in principal amount, as applicable, of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase prior to the Early Tender Time. The Reference Yield and the Total Consideration for each series of Notes were determined at 9:30 a.m., New York City time (2:30 p.m., London time), on Wednesday, 15 November 2023, as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Total Consideration includes the Early Tender Payment of (i) $30 per $1,000 in principal amount of USD Notes, (ii) €30 per €1,000 in principal amount of EUR Notes or (iii) £30 per £1,000 in principal amount of GBP Notes, as applicable, and assumes a final settlement date of 5 December 2023.

The Companies have elected not to exercise their right to have an early settlement date, and the settlement date for all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase is expected to be on 5 December 2023 (the “Final Settlement Date”). Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date.

As previously announced, according to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Tender and Information Agent for the Tender Offers, $9,186,786,000 aggregate principal amount of the USD Notes, €607,297,000 aggregate principal amount of the EUR Notes and £266,763,000 aggregate principal amount of the GBP Notes were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn.

Because (i) the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn would exceed the Aggregate Offer Cap and (ii) the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn in each of the Pool 1 Tender Offers and the Pool 2 Tender Offers would exceed the Pool 1 Offer Cap and the Pool 2 Offer Cap, respectively, the Companies will not accept for purchase all Notes that have been tendered by the Early Tender Time in the Pool 1 Tender Offers and the Pool 2 Tender Offers.

With respect to the Pool 1 Tender Offers, the Companies will accept for purchase $1,236,641,000 aggregate principal amount of the 3.650% Notes due 2026 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Time on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below), using a proration factor of approximately 70.30%.

With respect to the Pool 2 Tender Offers, the Companies will accept for purchase all of the 3.750% Notes due 2042, 2.850% Notes due 2037, 4.000% Notes due 2043, 4.600% Notes due 2060 and 4.500% Notes due 2050 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Time. The Companies will accept for purchase $1,123,895,000 aggregate principal amount of the 4.600% Notes due 2048 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Time on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase, using a proration factor of approximately 80.67%.

The Companies will not accept for purchase any 2.700% Notes due 2026, 4.750% Notes due 2058, 4.350% Notes due 2040, 4.625% Notes due 2044, 2.000% Notes due 2035, 4.375% Notes due 2038, 4.900% Notes due 2046 (issued by ABIWW and ABC), 4.900% Notes due

2046 (issued by ABIFI), 1.650% Notes due 2031, 2.250% Notes due 2029 or 3.500% Notes due 2030 tendered in the Tender Offers. Any 3.650% Notes due 2026 and 4.600% Notes due 2048 not accepted for purchase will be returned promptly to holders or unblocked in the relevant direct participant’s clearing system account, as applicable, following the Final Settlement Date. All 2.700% Notes due 2026, 4.750% Notes due 2058, 4.350% Notes due 2040, 4.625% Notes due 2044, 2.000% Notes due 2035, 4.375% Notes due 2038, 4.900% Notes due 2046 (issued by ABIWW and ABC), 4.900% Notes due 2046 (issued by ABIFI), 1.650% Notes due 2031, 2.250% Notes due 2029 and 3.500% Notes due 2030 will be returned promptly to holders or unblocked in the relevant direct participant’s clearing system account, as applicable, following the Price Determination Time.

Holders of the Notes who tendered at or before the Early Tender Time and whose Notes were accepted for purchase are eligible to receive the Total Consideration.

The Tender Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 30 November 2023 (such time and date, the “Expiration Time”), or any other date and time to which the Companies extend the applicable Tender Offer. Because the Aggregate Offer Cap has been reached, the Companies do not expect to accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time.

This announcement does not describe all the material terms of the Tender Offers and no decision should be made by any Holder on the basis of this announcement. The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase. This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase. The Offer to Purchase contains important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Tender Offers. If any Holder is in any doubt as to the contents of this announcement, or the Offer to Purchase, or the action it should take, it is recommended that the Holder seek its own financial and legal advice, including in respect of any tax consequences, immediately from its stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial, tax or legal adviser.

The Companies have not filed this announcement or the Offer to Purchase with, and they have not been reviewed by, any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority of any country. No authority has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Tender Offers, and it is unlawful and may be a criminal offense to make any representation to the contrary.

The distribution of the Offer to Purchase in certain jurisdictions is restricted by law. Persons into whose possession the Offer to Purchase comes are required by each of the Companies, the Dealer Managers, the Tender and Information Agent to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions.
