* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. ** The Issuer expects to deliver the Securities against payment for the Securities on or about August 20, 2021 which will be the third business day following the Trade Date of the Securities. 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 a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Securities on the Trade Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Securities are expected to initially settle in T+3, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. | ||||||||
