Section 3.01 Amount; Series; Terms.

(a) There are hereby created and designated a series of Securities under the Indenture: the title of the Notes shall be “6.196% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2029”. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes and shall not apply to any other series of Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other series of Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements.

8

(b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture shall be limited to $1,300,000,000, subject to increase as set forth in Section 3.06 of this Supplemental Indenture.

(c) The Stated Maturity Date of the Notes shall be November 17, 2029 (the “Stated Maturity Date”). The Notes shall be payable and may be presented for payment, redemption, registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge, at the Corporate Trust Office.

(d) The amount of accrued interest during each Floating Rate Interest Period will be computed by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in the applicable Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) divided by 360. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be lower than zero.

(e) During the Fixed Rate Period, the Notes will bear interest from and including November 17, 2023 to but excluding November 17, 2028 (the “Interest Reset Date”) at the annual rate of 6.196% (the “Fixed Rate Period”). The Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually with respect to the Fixed Rate Period in arrears on each May 17 and November 17 (each, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”). The Company will make the first interest payment on May 17, 2024 and the final fixed rate interest payment on November 17, 2028.

(f) During each Floating Rate Interest Period, the Notes will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to compounded SOFR on the Interest Payment Determination Date for that interest period plus 1.878%, all as determined by the Calculation Agent as further provided in this Supplemental Indenture and in the form of the Notes annexed hereto as Exhibit A. During the Floating Rate Period, the Company will pay interest on the Notes quarterly in arrears on February 17, 2029, May 17, 2029, and August 17, 2029; provided that the final interest payment will be made on the Stated Maturity Date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date” and together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, each, an “Interest Payment Date”).

(g) If any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes is not a business day, then the related payment of interest and/or principal payable, as applicable, on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or Stated Maturity Date, and no further interest or other payments will accrue as a result of such postponement, and the Holders of the Notes will not be entitled to any further interest or other payments with respect to such postponement.

(h) The Company will pay interest to the person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date, except that the Company will pay interest on the Stated Maturity Date or, if the Notes are redeemed, the redemption date, to the person or persons to whom principal is payable (each, a “Regular Record Date”). During the Fixed Rate Period, each Regular Record Date will be May 2 and November 2, and during the Floating Rate Period, each Regular Record Date will be February 2, 2029, May 2, 2029 and August 2, 2029.

9

(i) The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 3.02 of this Supplemental Indenture and in the Base Indenture and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee.

(j) Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

(k) With respect to the Notes and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, if the Company or its designee determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to determining compounded SOFR, then Section 3.05 of this Supplemental Indenture will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for the Floating Rate Interest Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the applicable margin.

(l) Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.02 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer or its Treasurer, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Corporate Secretaries or Deputy Corporate Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual, facsimile or electronic signature (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) and shall not be required to be under the Company’s corporate seal.

Notes bearing the manual, facsimile or electronic signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

Pursuant to a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for original issue Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in the Company Order. The Trustee shall be provided with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company that it may reasonably request in connection with such authentication of Notes. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

10

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in the Base Indenture executed by the Trustee by manual, facsimile or electronic signature (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com), and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 3.03 Calculation Agent.

(a) Initially, the Trustee will act as Calculation Agent, in accordance with the provisions of that certain Calculation Agency Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Calculation Agency Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in acting under the Calculation Agency Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall have the benefit of the rights, protections and immunities granted to it hereunder. The Company may appoint a successor Calculation Agent at its discretion. So long as compounded SOFR is required to be determined with respect to the Notes, there shall at all times be a Calculation Agent. In the event that any then acting Calculation Agent shall be unable or unwilling to act, or that such Calculation Agent shall fail duly to establish compounded SOFR for any Floating Rate Interest Period, or the Company proposes to remove such Calculation Agent, the Company shall appoint another Calculation Agent.

(b) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR or the SOFR Index, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, adjustments as to any alternative spread thereon, the business day convention, Interest Payment Determination Dates or any other relevant methodology applicable to such substitute or successor Benchmark. In connection with the foregoing, each of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determinations made by the Company or its designee without independent investigation, and none will have any liability for actions taken at the Company’s direction in connection therewith. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Supplemental Indenture as a result of the unavailability of SOFR, the SOFR Index or other applicable Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any failure, inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Supplemental Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. None of the Trustee, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent shall be responsible or liable for the Company’s actions or omissions or for those of any designee, nor shall any of the Trustee, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent be under any obligation to oversee or monitor the Company’s performance or that of the designee.

11

(c) The Company will give the Trustee and the Calculation Agent written notice of the person appointed as its designee.

(d) All determinations made by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and Holders of the Notes.

Section 3.04 SOFR Unavailable. If a SOFR Index_Start or SOFR Index_End is not published on the associated Interest Payment Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “compounded SOFR” means, for the applicable interest period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-repo-reference-rates-information. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days” shall be removed. If SOFR does not so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFR_i for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.

(a) Benchmark Replacement: If the Company or its designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(i) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

(ii) if made by the Company, will be made in its sole discretion;

12

(iii) if made by the Company’s designee, will be made after consultation with the Company, and such designee will not make any such determination, decision or election to which the Company objects; and

(iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Notes or any other party.

(d) Any determination, decision or election pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be made by the Company or its designee (which may be the Company’s Affiliate) on the basis as provided above, and in no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible for making any such determination, decision or election.

Section 3.06 Additional Notes. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without notice to or consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) having terms and conditions set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, identical to the Notes issued on the date hereof, except that Additional Notes may:

(ii) have a different issue price than other Outstanding Notes of such series;

(iii) have a different initial Interest Payment Date than other Outstanding Notes of such series; and

(iv) have a different amount of interest that has accrued prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes than has accrued on other Outstanding Notes of such series;

provided, no Additional Notes shall be issued unless such Additional Notes will be fungible for U.S. federal income tax and securities law purposes with the Notes issued on the date hereof; and provided, further, that the Additional Notes have the same CUSIP number as the Notes issued on the date hereof. No Additional Notes may be issued if on the issue date therefor, any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

On or after May 17, 2024 and prior to the Interest Reset Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(b) On and after the redemption date for the Notes (or any portions thereof called for redemption), interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price for the Notes and accrued interest, if any. On or before the redemption date for the Notes (or any portions thereof called for redemption), the Company will deposit with a Paying Agent, or the trustee, funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price for the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date.

(c) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e) Notice of any redemption will be electronically delivered or mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

6.196% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2029

1. Interest.

The Charles Schwab Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note during the Fixed Rate Period at the annual rate of 6.196%. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 17 and November 17 of each year (each, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”), with the first fixed-rate interest payment on May 17, 2024 and the final fixed-rate interest payment on November 17, 2028 (the “Fixed Rate Period”). During the Fixed Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

During each Floating Rate Interest Period, the Issuer promises to pay interest at a rate per annum equal to compounded SOFR plus 1.878%, all as determined by the Calculation Agent as provided for in the Indenture (as defined below). Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 17, 2029, May 17, 2029 and August 17, 2029; provided that the final interest payment will be made on the Stated Maturity Date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date” and together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, each, an “Interest Payment Date”).

With respect to the Fixed Rate Period, interest on the Notes will accrue from and including the original issue date or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. With respect to the Floating Rate Interest Period, the term “interest period” means the period commencing on any Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Interest Period (or, with respect to the initial interest period, commencing on November 17, 2028 (the “Interest Reset Date”)) to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date in the Floating Rate Interest Period, and in the case of the last such period, from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity Date to but excluding the Stated Maturity Date.

If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a business day, the Issuer will postpone the interest payment to the next succeeding business day, but the payment made on such date will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the Holders of the Notes will not be entitled to any further interest or other payments with respect to such postponement.

The Issuer will pay interest to the person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date, except that the Issuer will pay interest on the Stated Maturity Date or, if the Notes are redeemed, the redemption date, to the person or persons to whom principal is payable. The amount of accrued interest payable on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be computed by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period interest period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in the applicable Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) divided by 360. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be lower than zero.

A-5

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Base Indenture (defined below) at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

The interest rate and amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on the applicable Interest Payment Determination Date using compounded SOFR with respect to the applicable Observation Period relating to the applicable Floating Rate Interest Period. The Calculation Agent will then add the spread of 1.878% per annum to compounded SOFR as determined on the Interest Payment Determination Date. Absent manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s determination of the interest rate for an interest period for the Notes will be binding and conclusive on the Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent, and the Issuer. The interest rate for any Floating Rate Interest Period will not be adjusted for any modifications or amendments to the SOFR Index or SOFR data that the Board may publish after the interest rate for that Interest Period has been determined.

2. Paying Agent; Calculation Agent.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders. Initially, the Trustee will act as Calculation Agent. The Issuer may appoint a successor Calculation Agent at its discretion.

3. Indenture; Defined Terms.

This Note is one of the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of June 5, 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Base Indenture” and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 19, 2023 and the Twenty-Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2023, the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as trustee. This Note is a “Global Security” and the Notes are “Global Securities” under the Indenture.

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

4. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

5. Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such affected series, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

6. Optional Redemption.

On or after May 17, 2024 and prior to the Interest Reset Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

Notice of any redemption will be electronically delivered or mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is electronically delivered or mailed, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date and at the Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

7. Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (voting together as a single class) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of the affected series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) of and the accrued interest on all the Securities of such affected series shall become immediately due and payable.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series (voting together as a single class) at the time Outstanding, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series.
