* It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about April 11, 2023, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of 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 notes on any date prior to the date that is two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in three business days (T+3), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
