Except as set forth in the 364-day Amendment and Extension Agreement, the terms and conditions of the 364-day Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.

PMI has the ability to increase or obtain additional commitments under the Multi-year Credit Agreement for the time period from February 11, 2026 to February 10, 2027, provided that total aggregate commitments shall in no event exceed $2.0 billion. Except as set forth in the Multi-year Amendment and Extension Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Multi-year Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.

Some of the lenders under the 364-day Credit Agreement and the Multi-year Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial and investment banking services for PMI, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. Certain affiliates of the lenders under the 364-day Credit Agreement and the Multi-year Credit Agreement are underwriters of certain of PMI's note issuances. PMI and some of its subsidiaries may enter into foreign exchange and other derivative arrangements with certain of the lenders under the 364-day Credit Agreement and the Multi-year Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates. In addition, certain of the lenders under the 364-day Credit Agreement and the Multi-year Credit Agreement, and their respective affiliates, act as dealers in connection with PMI's commercial paper programs.
