Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 3, 2021, we announced and priced an offering (the “Notes Offering”) of €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.250% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), €600,000,000 of 0.750% Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) and €650,000,000 of 1.375% Notes due 2041 (the “2041 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes and the 2033 Notes, the “Notes”).

In connection with the Notes Offering, on March 3, 2021, we entered into a Terms Agreement in respect of the Notes (the “Terms Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, HSBC Bank plc and Mizuho International plc, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell the Notes to the Underwriters. The provisions of an Amended and Restated Underwriting Agreement dated as of February 28, 2011 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) are incorporated by reference into the Terms Agreement. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 and a copy of the Terms Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.2 to this Current Report.

On March 17, 2021, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion of the Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 6, 2015 (the “Indenture”), by and between us and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented and modified by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of February 13, 2019, by and between us and the Trustee (to change the notice period for redemptions of the Notes and future note offerings) and the Supplemental Indenture No. 2, dated as of April 13, 2020, by and between us and the Trustee (to allow for electronic execution, authentication, delivery and dating of documents under the Indenture), and as further supplemented and modified in respect of the Notes by an officers’ certificate under Section 301 of the Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2021 (the “301 Certificate”). We filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the Indenture together with our Registration Statement (as defined below) on February 28, 2020.

We have filed with the SEC a Prospectus, dated as of February 28, 2020, and a Prospectus Supplement for the Notes, dated as of March 3, 2021, each of which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-236787) (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the offering of the Notes.
