On or after the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable, at the option of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.
