Under the Commercial Paper Program, the Company may issue the commercial paper notes from time to time and will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The commercial paper notes will be sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and will rank pari passu with all of Portfolio Holding’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The interest rates will vary based on the ratings assigned to the commercial paper notes by credit rating agencies and market conditions at the time of issuance. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Commercial Paper Program. Borrowings reduce amounts otherwise available under the 2024 Unsecured Revolver.

Among other things, these covenants may restrict the Company or certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt or liens, engage in certain mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes, make other investments or pay dividends.
