We expect to deliver the Notes against payment for the Notes on or about November 19, 2024. Under the E.U. Central Securities Depositaries Regulation, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days (on which the relevant securities settlement system is open) unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Also under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one New York business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes before the first business day prior to delivery being required will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
