As of the date hereof, none of the Credco Notes are known by us to be held by American Express, Credco or affiliates thereof.

American Express will pay interest on the AXP Notes from the most recent interest payment date on which interest has been paid on the Credco Notes at the rate of 3.300% per annum semi-annually in arrears on May 3 and November 3 of each year, beginning May 3, 2022, to the persons in whose names such AXP Notes are registered on the April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, immediately preceding such interest payment date, except that interest payable at maturity will be payable to the person to whom the principal of the note is paid.

Documents relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation were only distributed to eligible holders (“eligible holders”) of the Credco Notes who completed and returned an eligibility form confirming that they are either a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or not a “U.S. person,” outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act and a Non-U.S. qualified offeree (as defined in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement dated November 1, 2021), and, in either case, not located in or a resident of Canada. D.F. King & Co., Inc. was the exchange agent and information agent in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation and can be contacted at (866) 356-7814 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers).

The AXP Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities laws. American Express will agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement to exchange the AXP Notes for a new issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act within 365 days after the settlement of the Exchange Offer. American Express will also agree to use reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the AXP Notes under certain circumstances. The AXP Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
